Pippin

[Eviebae]

So, does anyone else think that the reason Scratch turned down Pippin's bid to be the rat was because she didn't trust him? She figured he was just agreeing so he could get out of the mall and get away? She knew Hannah was an anchor.

Didn't seem like Scratch had any sort of leverage over Pippin, so I don't think it was a trust thing. Scratch seems like the type who doesn't trust anyfuckingone. In some ways I don't even think she trusts herself.

I also believe it was a leverage thing. Pippin has nothing holding him to the Mallers, who could turn his back easily. Where as with Kalani, Scratch has his daughter, which is huge leverage to get someone to do almost anything you want.

Course that raises the question of why allow Pippin to go the Tower later on. I can't imagine what sort of leverage Scratch would have on Pippin to make him go along with it. Unless there are some cellphone snaps of Pippin we don't know about yet.......

[Osiris]

LOL. Pippin Porn.

[nikvoodoo]

Simple reason to make Pippin go in later: he can ID Kalani. And that seems to be the reason Merry ol' Pip was sent there in the first place.

tomato tomahto. That's what I meant. She didn't think he'd keep his end of the bargain because he was too eager to get out there and gone and had no reason to complete the task

Lol. Then why didn't you write what you meant?

I think I did, I was confused that it wasn't understood as such. Trust in this instance meant being certain or expressing confidence as in "I trust you agree" or "I trust in man's inhumanity to man." Calling Hannah an anchor also implied manipulation to me.

Let me save you the next step where you say I'm caring too much about what you think or reading too much into it or whatever. I already know you are a grumpy puss who has a thorn in his paw.

No. No you didn't. Trust and leverage are two completely different concepts. You may consider that your words implied a lack of leverage over Pippin, but they did not. They only imply leverage over Kalani. This isn't tomato/tomato at all. It's apples and oranges. Stop arguing what I say as being me having misunderstood you and start being more careful with the way you string words together. If this is really a big issue for you, which it seems to be.

And if you pay any attention at all to the way I responded, you will note that I answered your question about Pippin. Stop looking for shit that isn't there.

[Eviebae]

You seem to have a problem with the way I write. Maybe I am a martian shouting gibberish, maybe not, maybe you should ignore me and I'll do the same for you.

[Osiris]

Or you could stop seeing EVERYTHING as an attack.

I hated Pippin's dodgy accent at first but now I love it, best "English" accent since Dick van Dyke, makes some of the ones in Murder She Wrote sound like Shakespeare.

unless he is not English at all and he is putting on the accent...and none of the other characters have ever heard a British person speak.

For one, Pippin always reminded me of Pip the British kid from South Park, I don't know if it was a coincidence or if KC meant for that. But anyways I believe that Scratch didn't send out Pippin on the rat mission at first because like others said, she really didn't have any way to control what he did. If they sent him out he could just run without ever looking back. The reason Scratch sent Kalani was because of his daughter, she knew he would have to obey and come back or else his daughter, which he loved, would be killed.

When they finally did send Pippin to the tower, I believe it was just to find out if Kalani was still alive or if he did die. And the reason they trusted Pippin now was because he had time to feel out the Maulers and they probably offered him some kind of freedom or leadership role if he accomplished this task.

That is pretty much what I believe Pippin's role was. Didn't mind him as a character.
