That's the way I'm leaning... Gher Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 07:07:01 PM
I don't think she made the wrong choice at all, Sidious. She may have been lying, of course, but judging from her personality and from her speech, I think we can assume that she didn't join the Black Ajah out of fear.

Rather, she was offered this choice: Join or die. What purpose would dying serve? Great, she died so she would be "pure." Would that have helped anyone? Through her sacrifice, the Black Ajah was ousted from the white Tower, and at least half of it was killed outright.


Although she very well could have started out as someone who joined to stay alive, and then morphed into a double agent. That doesn't detract from her story any, IMO, but I still think she started out as an infiltrator. She may have preferred to continue her study as an outsider, it is likely less risky, but when given the choice she decided to go for it.

So when do we start executing that FBI agents in the columbian drug cartel? redhand - 31/10/2009 04:51:08 PM 504 Views
You're confusing morality with legality, no? *NM* Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:56:55 PM 234 Views
depends what he does in that time I guess Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:28:04 PM 596 Views

Not tarnished at all, in my mind... Gher - 30/10/2009 05:16:43 PM 652 Views
Definitely. She was a double agent from the beginning. beetnemesis - 30/10/2009 06:31:26 PM 656 Views

What crap! fionwe1987 - 30/10/2009 09:47:08 PM 682 Views
Verin has reached a point. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 03:56:44 AM 575 Views
I hope the Verin Memorial Statue™ spouts water from the ink smudge on her nose *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 04:25:46 AM 303 Views
Logically, it would be ink spouting from her pen in her hand. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 04:34:36 AM 513 Views
It should be animatronic Deadsy - 31/10/2009 04:37:08 AM 542 Views
"That dress is green." Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 04:47:12 AM 666 Views
how did I miss that one? *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 04:48:54 AM 308 Views
*shrugs* *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:19:03 AM 291 Views
That would look kind of gross I think *NM* Sidious - 31/10/2009 05:24:00 AM 265 Views
gross, or awesome? *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:32:13 AM 287 Views
Come to think of it, it'd look like drippy snot. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:35:41 AM 239 Views
it should drip into a fountain full of animatronic Professor-looking birds teaching fish how to fly *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:42:10 AM 308 Views
With a flame above one hand, and a pen in the other. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:43:29 AM 262 Views
There need to be some sort of flashy lights representing her soul changing colors *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:45:03 AM 313 Views
Also, it must be cuendillar. Great Lord of Chaos - 01/11/2009 12:00:10 AM 569 Views

Not really much of a difference between brown and black. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/10/2009 05:50:25 AM 552 Views
Alviarin voodoo doll? I can't come up with anything Verin related. *sniffle* *NM* Deadsy - 31/10/2009 05:53:10 AM 299 Views

So how about that "last hour" part of her oath? Legolas - 31/10/2009 04:48:29 PM 582 Views
That's a really strange loophole, to be honest beetnemesis - 31/10/2009 05:04:25 PM 635 Views
Its simple really... fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 10:02:19 PM 643 Views
That's not really good enough, though. Legolas - 31/10/2009 10:06:12 PM 650 Views
Re: That's not really good enough, though. fionwe1987 - 31/10/2009 10:50:36 PM 568 Views
