[SPEC] To Whom the Masks Belong

[Bravil]

Nature or Religion could be iris?

[Citizen Kane]

We might also think about the nine when considering this.
Perhaps Mars (whatever the Don was in CTW1) is infecting JD?

After all, in CTW1, JD was a Lackey of the Don.

Knowledge - Sarah (the library and her association with it)

History - Wes (his association with the Ong's Head CD, he was the one who looked into the strange happenings around Aglaura)

Nature - Iris (this was my initial thought awhile back, but she just doesn't seem to be the same "earthy" person she was before.)

Technology - Sam

Sacred - Digitalis (though he may be a goner. perhaps we've yet to meet this person or entity) Just thought of something - what about Meaghan?

Soul - Dale

Rogi - those were just from my memory (I haven't been blogging or taking notes). I loved your side-by-side comparison of Sarah & Dale's dreams. Beautiful.

If we only use the people from Dale's dream, then maybe this?

Knowledge - Sarah
History - Wes
Nature - Diana (named for the Moon Goddess)
Technology - Sam
Sacred - Meaghan? (don't hurt the kid)
Man - Bruce?

Still not sure if/how the 7 initiates levels of Mystai might play a role here.

Do you remember any soul searching from or revelations about Diana from CTW1?
There seems to be just a general consensus that she's a bitch and no further character development is needed. Given what Bruce has said about her desire for technology for its own sake, I'd be more inclined to go with her as Technology than Nature. Sam seems too obvious for Technology, somehow.
That whole falling asleep during the vote thing still bugs me for some reason. I feel like we missed something.

In CTW1 Diana was dead. Sam was a guy. Bruce was dating the neice of Don Marzano. Wes was alive. Iris was a psychic.

I think we're supposed to keep them away from the masks. Remember this:

From a mystes email I received titled "Kheperi - Re - Atum"

[Sylvia]

Good observation MG. I'll have to look closer at this when I get the time.
The scarab (beetle) part looks promising since there is one pictured in the comic - looks like a June Bug (Beetle) to me.
I've got some catching up to do since I've been away so long. And there appears to have been several updates today and I just got home so even more to catch up on.

Oh, and I read in someone else's post that the "Kheperi - Re - Atum" represent the rising sun, the midday sun and the setting sun or something to that effect. I wonder if it could also have anything to do with spring, summer and autumn. Just thinking out loud, probably has nothing to do with anything but it helps to get thoughts on paper before they are forever lost in the whirl of everyday living.

My take on the mask:

Mask of Knowledge = Sarah = (due to the Library, a tomb of knowledge) or does she have knowledge not yet revealed to us.

Mask of History = Wes = since he is leading Dale to exam the history of Ong's Hat and he spent his life studying historical lore.

Mask of Nature = Meghan (innocence) or maybe ? Iris = her web site says it all, but then she seems to be a little out of touch with her roots lately.

Mask of Technology / Progress = Diana / Marzent = speaks for itself (and yes technology and progress are one and the same.)

Mask of Sacred = Sam since she is dedicated to keeping Wes's memory alive.

Mask of Man / Self = Dale since he is trying to find himself and perhaps Bruce he also seems to be doing a lot of soul searching right now trying to find his true self.

But then everyone of us wears a different mask at times depending on the current circumstances we find ourselves in.
