 		[DISCUSSION][META?] Madam Steph
Megiddo just informed me that he found a myspace profile that has Xenophile Media in the companies, and has the name of one 'Steph Waller' as a founder.

If you recall Lostpedian's comments about "Madam Steph's photos" on flickr, you'll also notice that the controversial 'faitharella' account now has 'Steph Waller' also listed as a contact. (you may also notice me as a contact, but that's beside the point, because I have a flickr account)

You can browse Steph's photos and such.

But wait! It gets juicier (read on before pouncing about the meta issues)...

Now, in looking up more on these leads, I came across Alla Breve's website at http://www.allabreve.org, wherein you can find on the 'Artists' page, a section for Steph Waller, with numerous links related to her.

Notably:
her blog, at http://www.allabreve.org/insomniac/
her own myspace, at http://www.myspace.com/skwaller
and her profile, at: http://www.allabreve.org/waller/skw.html

If you read her bio on her Alla Breve profile page - here's the juicy kicker that comes back in-game:

She has a circus history, and moved into tarot reading at a younger age...
Quote:
My own father was a clown and he taught me that art when I was a small child, but in my early twenties I traded the grease paint and rubber nose for the Tarot cards and I found that I had a gift for seeing into other people's experiences, past lives, and especially into their visions and dreams. I left my father's circus parades behind and joined the Renaissance Faires, reading fortunes in the gypsy tents and performing as a white-face toubadour.


It seems we have another 'real life' character, just like DVJ Charles Kriel, in this little mystery of ours Very Happy (meaning, just as we followed a symbol on Kriel's site and only focused on that, one could potentially go way off track if we follow Steph's many real-world references - so we should stick to in-game references as the important stuff)

It still doesn't explain the owner of the 'faitharella' flickr account, but at least we know who Madam Steph is. And she's real. Surprised

 		hmmm... Can't pull it up on flickr anymore, but there was pic titled shiver or creepy. with the cowboy in the background. Said something in the comment about; to paraphrase " creepy guy who has been following us. I wonder what he wants."

I was all like, Dude, that's weird....

 		Rorschach I saw that too, but it's gone today. Steph's flickr pics and addition of Faith as a contact are the paradox I mentioned in the other thread. If the Faith account was made by one of us (a player), then why would Steph (a character?) acknowledge it as real by a fake Faith account as a friend?

My head hurts.

 		easily, if she doesn't know who created the account, she could assume it's created by Faith, when it might not be.

Anyway, I'm hoping that we haven't heard the last from Kriel, Steph, or even Miss Vix (though we haven't met a 'person' for her yet, outside just blog entries)

 		Hrmm maybe that's where the song is from
With the few new clues we got in the lastest video, and madam steph just happens to me into music, I thought she might have the song on her site, so far it hasn't gone anywhere. This may be of us to someone with better ears. On a side not, I found the FlickR Picture that you were talking about, although it is only a small part of the story and nothing more...
