It’s hard to say what is the most interesting aspect of today’s installment – is it the Count’s mysterious movements, Larry Talbot’s peculiar flower or the strange goings on at the laboratory of the Good Doctor? Belatedly, it occurs to me that Morris & MacCab were probably not the only grave-robbers around.
One third of the way through the month, and it seems a good time to note that so far, we only have identification of one set of players’ allegiances in the Game – and given that they appear to be Jack the Ripper and his watchdog who is a transformed demon, it’s hard to be to sure they’re on the side of what is right and true. Especially since it appears that Mr Sherlock Holmes opposes them. As for the rest of the players, well, Talbot knows the Count of old, and thus he is on the other side from Jack (which is not necessarily the same side as Holmes). Everyone else, despite the actions they may have taken, remains a question mark, although one assumes that Morris & MacCab are not on the same side as Crazy Jane.
