I'm a face and body painter, so I do a LOT of sugar skulls....I noticed he said he felt better when someone posted to his wall and their profile pic was of them painted as a sugar skull...

So I asked if that meant that looking at sugar skulls made him feel better, and he "liked" that comment...

So I started posting pics of my work that I had on my phone, then October posted some as well, and he said he was feeling better.

I suggested he raid Circe's makeup and paint his own face, and Brandie dittoed the suggestion, and then Talbot said the last 'guest' he ran into had their face painted, so he was going to go look for that guy and find out where he could get stuff to paint his own face.

Who knew?? LMAO

Hopefully the facepaint will provide a respite for him!

So...the face paint didn't seem to help last night. Thinking of other possible sources of help - Jenny and her note are discussed in another thread although that doesn't seem to be going anywhere since Jenny isn't talking to anyone.

Another bit of background we haven't really seen pursued is his song. Crvna thought it sounded funny - perhaps there is something inthe sound file? Or the lyrics? Here is Incyr's transcription from the fan site:

Transcription:

Mysteries

Don't be blinded by
The world around you,
There's mysteries to solve
Sunlight splashing down on
Great green grassy fields, and
Ghost and gravestones
What you see ain't <merely> lies,
There's truth and light all around you
There's always right and wrong
And in between the lines we're free
to wander
When the world moves you

I don't see anything particularly suggestive here, but more eyes might see something.

Why was Amber (Circe?) so angry with all of us in the phone calls? Why threaten us? Why not work with us, if she wanted to help ease his transition? I have so many questions.

[ndemeter]

To ease his transition she needed to make him understand that he did have an impact on people. He did matter enough to make a difference in people's lives.

So she basically set herself up to be the bad guy uniting everyone else against her and showing so much support to Talbot that he was finally able to understand and let go. He achieved immortality because he will be forever in our memories.

Still not sure how Amber fit into all of this, nor Eric. I want to knoooooow!

[October]

Did Amber kill Eric to send him into the spirit world to get Talbot? >.>

[ndemeter]

I think Amber = Circe's human avatar to communicate with us and unify us against her.

Eric was more of a pawn. Based on how he got towards the end (unresponsive, driving faster, not talking or communicating) he was really nothing more but a tool for Talbot to latch onto.
