--- Quote from: themacnut on 20 Nov 2017, 14:07 ---Tl,DR version; Clinton didn't know he was being a creep, while Tilly doesn't care.
--- End quote ---
I disagree with you there. I think Tilly is also blissfully ignorant of her creepiness.
--- End quote ---
Specifically because she was expressly ordered to be oblivious to it by her employer, Beatrice.
--- End quote ---
That ... is a logical impossibility. You cannot be blissfully ignorant of something because you've been ordered to be oblivious to it, since you'd have to consciously acknowledge said something in order to follow those orders.
--- End quote ---
That becomes an argument between conscious and subconscious thought/awareness.

--- Quote from: WoaLG on 20 Nov 2017, 21:16 ---Tilly: "I have to go throw myself into the ocean"
Dobby: "And if Dobby does it wrong, Dobby will throw himself off the top most tower!"
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
--- End quote ---
I think she chose the ocean because if she enters the water at the right time of day the tide would take her body out to sea and thereby dispose of her own corpse. Dobby on the other hand leaves a messy elf corpse. At least Tilly is thinking 2 steps ahead.

--- Quote from: cloudatlatl on 20 Nov 2017, 20:45 ---I've been hoping since Tilly's introduction that there was going to be some payoff to the story, some other reason for Beatrice sending her that wouldn't be revealed until later. Like maybe there was a subtle plan to trick Hanners into entering the cutthroat world of business. Instead Tilly just got more and more over the top, making my hope for long-term plotting seem less and less likely...
--- End quote ---
Welcome, new person!
I still think she has a plan to (trick? push? coerce?) Hanners into the cutthroat world of business, but I suspect there's nothing subtle about it.

--- Quote from: brasca on 20 Nov 2017, 15:21 ---There’s also the matter of power. Hannelore didn’t know anything about Clinton and while she doesn’t know all that much about Tilly the most important fact is she works for her mother. As such she won’t do anything that would displease Beatrice so there’s no physical danger just a nuisance.
--- End quote ---
You know, this is Beatrice we're talking about. Somehow, I've feeling that physical danger would fall into the category of "Finally my daughter is turning out worthy heir" rather than displease her.
As to the misnaming, might I suggest looking at what is happening in this very thread?
I think it's pretty clear that Beatrice will try anything to get Hanners to take over the empire, as soon as she seems her ready to do so. Sending Tilly might be her way of acknowledging Hanners' progress, and to try and keep the momentum going.
I do appreciate Hannelore's handling of the issue, though.

Akima:
I imagine that Massachusetts boasts many lakes more conveniently situated than the distant ocean for compensatory drownings. I mean, if you're into that.
