I guess they both want to know who the dad is... or isn't. Wink

Well, that went better than expected . . .

All three possibilities in the open, and no explosion . . . even something approaching actual communication.

. . .

Of course, they don't seem to be fully considering the implications if Mike was possessed . . .

Yes, that was a surprisingly coherent conversation.

I wonder if Marsha and Blue will start to argue about who of them is the cheated on one. Laughing

The irony is that one of them is right, just a liiiittle late.

Well, that went better than expected.

I gotta hand it to Blue: She's a real soldier. Her day has been horrible so far, it doesn't look like her day is going to improve much (she's still has to attend a party with the nut that bit her brother, pimp slapped her and got her into trouble with Dover), yet she's still thinking about her brother and her boyfriend. Remarkable, for a 17-18 year old girl.

And please note Marsha's opinion of April couldn't really get any lower. Granted, April *earned* that bad reputation, but I would say there's limits. Marsha really seems to think April is capable of taking advantage of an incapacitated friend, as if April was some stereotypical horny fratboy having his way with a drunk 15 year old girl. Let's not forget April did what she did because of her strong fixation with Mike. We're talking about a powerful mixture of emotions here: sexual attraction, jealousy, neediness, etc. I don't think Dave (or Roger, for that matter) could have the same effect on miss Sommers. Fanfics aside, I've always thought April finds Dave annoying and unappealing, so I would probably rule him out as a target.

PS. I like that the girls didn't ruled out Paul as a possible dad. After all, April *did* had one of her "maratonic sessions with Paul" shortly before Spring Freak, didn't she?

I think that the only real reason they're even considering Dave as a potential pappa is Roger's statement . . .

Interesting that they're taking Roger's word for it, though.

Now . . . Marsha is trying very hard to convince herself that there's no way it could be Mike . . . And Blue, of oucrse, is trying very hard to convince herself it can't be Dave . . . though they're pretty well trashing each others' arguments.

Of course, if Marsha tells Blue about that little phone-bomb she overheard, then Blue will conclude that since La Dragonne is actively involved, and hasn't told Blue that Dave cheated on Blue, that Mike must be the daddy . . .

Though it is interesting that nobody's considering Ol' Hornhead. Confused

As far as potential poppas, I still suspect that Paul comforted April in a very physical way after the "shiner" conversation.

And Marsha saying Roger eavesdrops a lot is hilarious.

I thought Marsha knew that Mike (or Satan) and April did the horizontal mambo.

She does, hence Blue commenting that Mike could have been possessed "again".

The thing is, think about how long ago that was. That happened over spring break, and they are now in a new term. Which means the first happened in March or April, and now it's August or September. Seeing as how they are just now hearing rumors of a pregnancy, the fact that Possessed Mike stoinked April, doesn't fit in their minds as the reason why.

I'm waiting for someone to click on just how long the Dragon has been pregnant....

They are not considering Satan, because its too horrible to consider - if someone does not answer your call last thing you think is because that person got killed - you rather think that he's nowhere near his cellphone, or is in church, etc.
It might take them some time to figure out about the baby - its not like they know about something like that being possible.
They dont consider Apil being impregated on Spring Break, because by now pregnancy would be visible. (unless someone connect Dragon and April being on Dun-Dun at the same time)
Mike seems to remember he shtoinked April (while being possesed), so unless something more confusing happens, he'll tell about giving his 10 minutes during spring break - perhaps he'll also look for any record April might have in Dun-Dun, to get confirmation. Id say he has highest chance of getting to truth, but i wouldnt exclude others from getting lucky.

Yees, it's all falling into place now...Except for the part where it's about to get completely blown into miniscule pieces Very Happy

this may not be the thread for this, but...anyway, Hazel (or whoever called April) messed it up royal imo. if she (or the relevant lackey) can trigger some kind of auto-suggestion, what should have happened is that April's been conditioned to give a convincing denial, and/or a good counter-story when people question, or hint at, her about the pregnancy. Not the unimaginably suspicious, robotic blurt-out right in front of someone. (Which is what of course happened.). Ironically, Marsha now believes April might really be pregnant - this may have been the point tbh. So, the aim was to...deflect their attention from the actual pregnancy? still, it's a little hamfisted, not what you'd expect from Hazel - or even DunDun.

This is totally the thread for this. Very Happy

And yeah, I'm wondering what the Dragon's motive is for making it blatantly obvious that there's something going on with April. Although to be fair, both Marsha and Blue have yet to explicitly finger Hazel in their suspicions.

What I find interesting is that apparently neither Marsha nor Blue know that Mike is possession-proof (or was, prior to the "ten minutes behind the wheel" deal).

I'm assuming that Mike is possession-proof again. Even if the full ten minutes wasn't used, didn't Mike call the deal off after Stanny had already used him to shtoink April? Which would also mean that Blue and Marsha are potential direct targets for Stanny.
