Holy FUCK Arthur did you see [screencap of tweet]

Arthur Quincey

I just saw. I’m so sorry you saw it. Did Mina see?

Lucy Westenra

Um YES because i immediately called her FREAKING OUT. she’s here one sec

Arthur Quincey

I screenshot the tweet in case they delete it, but it’s the only tweet that account has? I think they probably made that account just for this purpose. That or they deleted everything else before it. But they have zero followers so.

Mina Murray

Dude. This is super beyond the pale. We have to call the cops right? Like, Lucy, I know we agree that calling the cops is a last resort thing. But…this person is copping to murder and threatening us with killing someone else. I don’t know that we have much choice.

Lucy Westenra

I know.

Arthur Quincey

I didn’t have quite the strong reaction y’all did. Just hear me out.

That tweet was fucking scary and whoever sent it is off their rocker. But we have NO reason to believe the creep who sent the tweet actually killed that person. This is twitter and it’s a fucking cesspool of attention-seeking lunatics who don’t know where to draw the line. It seems MUCH MUCH MUCH more likely to me that this person is totally unrelated to the real killer.

Dammit, FUCK NOT DUCK

Lucy Westenra

Do you seriously think so Arthur?

Arthur Quincey

Yeah I really do.

Mina Murray

Leaving aside for a moment the kind of absolute dire waste of life you would have to be to fuck with people about something like this…what if you’re wrong and we treat it like trolling and then they DO kill again.

I 100% could not live with that.

Lucy Westenra

Yeah don’t we kind of have to assume it’s real? Isn’t that the responsible thing to do?

I hate that he’s holding our show hostage but…better that than another murder!?

Arthur Quincey

It’s y’all’s show so it’s y’all’s call, totally. I’ll back your play.

Mina Murray

Well if there were anything we could do to be like “Hey, twitter, if this is your idea of a joke let us inform you of how very wrong you are” I’d say we should. But since the shitheels on twitter eat logical discussion for breakfast and shit out white fragility, self-obsession, and toxic masculinity, my hopes are really not high for our ability to intervene productively.

Lucy?

Lucy Westenra

I agree with you. I don’t wanna tell the cops anything about Harker though ok? Not as long as there is ANY chance that anything about him could look suspicious (which is everything since we DONT KNOW WHERE THE FUCK HE IS)

fuck

Arthur Quincey

Of course, if that’s what you want! Do you want me to contact the cops? That’s one more layer between them and Harker, and it makes sense since I’m the social media manager.

Mina Murray

Sound good to me, thanks A

Lucy Westenra

Yeah, please.

Jesus Christ I can’t believe this is happening to us.

Let us know as soon as you talk to them ok!!!
