Kincaid:
As someone who's been the target of 4chan's interest which resulted in multiple credible death threats, I'm siding with Marigold on being paranoid here, 100%. I used to have an internet presence under my real name, I dropped absolutely everything after that and no way in heck I'm letting anyone know my online aliases anymore.

Oenone:
Samesies. At one point they used the IP address of the coffee shop I sometimes posted from to make a range of what apartment buildings I might live in.

Is it cold in here?:
Clinton and May both recognized Hannelore, though Faye had never heard of the family.

The Ellicott-Chathams can afford the kind of security that stops problems at early stages, but it didn't work with Clinton.

If Arrogant Architeuthis is as protective of the Creator's daughter as May, then anyone trying to stalk Hannelore would quickly encounter a spot of unpleasantness. I do mean quickly, since they are all about situational awareness.

--- Quote from: dutchrvl on 04 May 2021, 10:08 ---I see a lot of replies here to the extent of "Hanners has a shit-ton of money", but has it ever actually been established taht Hanners herself has that much money?

I've read all of QC a few times now, and granted it has been quite a while I did a complete read-through, but I don't recall the above being established. Yes she has very, very wealthy parents, but we should all know that that doesn't automatically mean Hanners has a lot of money herself.

She did very early on comment on having more than sufficient to live on, but if I recall correctly that was more because she was living very simply with minimal furniture and saved most of what she made from counting things. EVen though she got WInslow a chassis and went on a long trip, I don't think it's enough to assume she is filthy rich herself.

Unless I forgot that fact being established somewhere, in which case I have wasted 5 minutes writing a pointless post :D

She is the sole heir of two powerful and extremely rich businesspeople. At minimum she has a huge trust fund set aside for her at birth, complete with stock in the company, access to company properties(vacation homes, private jets, the station!), rights to use company resources, and other things. She only has to work because of her mind needing the distraction, it's therapeutic more than anything.

Basically, she's the QC equivalent of Lisa, Reed, Erin, or Eve Jobs or Jennifer, Rory, or Phoebe Gates. She has a LOT of wealth, but chooses to not use it due to her own reasons.

I understand why you'd be thinking all of this, but you're making a lot of assumptions here. Sole heir? Besides the part where that doesn't make her currently rich, you do not know what her parents' plans are with their fortunes/empire, for all we know they may retire at 65 and give everything away to good/bad causes. Huge trust fund? Massive assumption, we literally have no idea. Access to company properties and resources? yes, seems like it, but that's largely virtue of her father enabling/allowing that, and still does not actually make Hanners rich herself.

Again, many of these things may be true (and probably likely), but none of it actually has been established (Edit: I believe, but I may be wrong, which is why I asked), and making these assumptions seems mostly based on what we typically see/hear about children of wealthy parents in 'our' world.

Perfectly Reasonable:
Burger Oni wants to meet LilBeef. (4497)
Whoops!
