    How do you know they are telling you the truth?
    They migt say that to cover up the fact that he is dead.

    Tim Cain's real name is Timothy Cain [Something or Another]. Timothy Cain [Something or Another] was killed in a car accident with his brother in California around the middle of July last year when they ran into a tree (though it jumped out at them I'm sure). Ipso facto Tim Cain is dead.

    Well, unless someone else wants to reanimate his career...

    Oh, not this load again...

    How about an end more fitting to his career?

    Tim Cain was wandering the mountains of northern California in search of a water chip, one that his vault desperately needed in order to keep living. On the way there, he met a religious fanatic who claimed him to be "the Living One", and insisted on following Tim around and giving vague advice, all the while prattling on about some old fart named Joachim.
    Having finally found the water chip, Tim returned to his vault, but was abducted by a group of enormous men who seemed to be slightly retarded. They brought him to their Lieutenant, and he insisted that Tim be changed to be more like they were. Tim refused, and attempted a daring escape, only to be killed by Madame Toussade's quench life curse.

    Ipso facto, Tim Cain is dead.

    DU hinted* in a thread a while back that he has Tim Cain's email but he stated in the same post that he wouldn't go handing it out to anyone**

    *By hinted I mean outright stated, although it may no longer be an active account since I doubt that exchange weekly letters.

    **I assume that if I wanted it I could have it but I'm a 'someone' not an 'anyone'.

    I don't know if you could have it now, having said you could probably get it if you wanted it.

    Tim Cain is keeping a low profile now because he doesn't want a lot of attention for some reason. At least that's what my inside source tells me. And by inside, of course, I mean one of the voices in my head. Might be my memory though.
