Issue 2 Response Post 12/5/13

Cat is awesome. I really like how she stands up for herself in this and doesn't go all damsel in distress. She acknowledges her fear but doesn't descend into stereotypical hysterics which is great.

I really like the drawing where Urbanite introduces himself and you can see Cat reflected in his helmet- that's really cool and in a way quite symbolic given some of the things we've been talking about in relation to Cat and Urbanite (e.g. being 2 sides of the same coin rather than polar opposites)

So, Cat knows Enrique is Misper. Does this mean Enrique tipped Urbanite off about what she was up to or did Urbanite know all along?

The dry ice is interesting, I assume it's to help conceal identities and maybe for dramatic effect but it also reminds me of special effects on a film set which links into the hypothesis that Grange Manor, or at least part of it, is some staged or there's camera trickery going on. This links into with Cat's comments that lots of Grange Manor hasn't actually been shown to the public.

I posted this on last week's thread but I'll quickly say it again here, that the Manor could actually be mostly empty apart from some studio sets (kind of like in a film studio: 1 big building housing different sets)

Urbanite's comments to Misper to disengage would suggest Enrique's getting a little too emotionally close for Urbanite's liking. He (Enrique) seems quite uncomfortable in these pages, he's fiddling with his cross necklace which seems to be a bit of a nervous habit of his.

Really interesting this week, can't wait to see where it goes from here!

ETA: Urbanite seemed to know where Cat was when he kidnapped (Cat-napped?) here that night. Maybe that's why Misper was following her before, to find out her regular routes and haunts but Cat clocked him doing it.

Currently I have 3 hypothesis:
1) Urbanite knew Cat was trouble from the off and that's why Enrique was following her, to get information on her
2) Urbanite only see's Cat as trouble after her second meeting with Enrique when she probes him
3) Combination of 1 and 2. Urbanite wants to get information on Cat hence why Enrique follows her. But he seems kind of uncomfrotble with this so maybe was subrtly trying to warn her or undermine Urbanite somehow?
