She was made for his personal use.

Interesting story arc. If Epi was made for the King's personal use, perhaps she was a concubine, or something of the sort. Not so much as a sexual being as a companion. If she attracted his child and cared more for them than for her creator, no wonder the King cast her away.

He effectively ripped away everything she cared for, put her on an alien planet, and left her heartbroken. I'd be confused and disoriented, too.


But if the story arc follows... the Prince will be looking for his love, Epi will be ridden with guilt and depression (and probably do something drastic like set her heart on fire), and the King will try to make sure she stays out of the way, permanently, and retrieves his kid. If I were the King, I'd just kill her and be done with it.

I think, maybe, we need to make sure the Prince doesn't know too much. If I were an author, the first thing I'd do is make the King extract the info from the Prince by whatever means necessary to find Epi, and then have her erased from the picture. King wins.

... hmm.


EDIT: Did anyone think that it'll actually be the king who's cutting out her heart?

I thought the king already had Epi? I think as soon as we know we can trust the prince, we should let her know what we can, since she might be the only way to get Epi back.

I love how this is less of a puzzle-heavy game, and more of a revealing story - space opera, if you will ;D

I know a little too much now I think... so I'm going to just watch and see it unfold. Have fun guys Smile

Croatoan
What does it mean?

http://nativeamericanfirstnationshistory.suite101.com/article.cfm/croatoan_and_the_mystery_of_roanok
Quote:
Though the English government officially declared the colony of Roanoke "lost" in 1597, no official explanation as to the fate of the colonists has ever been accepted.

However, the facts surrounding the establishment of this ill-fated settlement and its relations with neighboring Indian tribes may shed some light on this somewhat perplexing mystery. The only clue as to the whereabouts of the colony was the word CROATOAN, which was carved in large ominous letters on a tree in the center of the abandoned settlement. But, what did it mean?

Was this message intended to inform Governor John White as to the colony's destination after abandoning the settlement? If so, did they go of their of their own free will, or were they forced to retreat—and if this was the case, by whom?

I love that story. There's been lots of speculation about werewolves and that sort of thing, but that's just fairytales.

... I need to think on this.

Perhaps croatoan means that Epsilon isn't coming back (at least for awhile... a loooong while).

I was wondering if that would happen... getting everyone attached and caring for Epsilon and then yank! Gone, have to look for the Prince/Lioness' journal.

I wish I was better at puzzles, but the way things are unfolding is great ^_^ (well, not for Epsilon...)

Unfortunately, it sounds like she was more of the King's punching bag and less of his Real Doll. Sad

If no one noticed a member named Adeadqueen posted on the king's latest post so I decided to check it out and the page is blank for now but text is all in white so it looks like there is no profile, no posts at all.

I'm positive it is IG and a future site:

I see progress was done while I was out there putting freshmen singing karaoke and getting done.



I'm interested in the story as well. Let's see how this goes.


Oh, and if relevant, the queen's "birthday": 1952-11-05

The prince worte that because of the thing the kind had done with eppy he would need an purification ritual himself. He also wrote whren asked for what aktions such a ritual is used:

Quote:
Anything that would be deemed "deviant" or "strange".
Many things that humanity also finds sinful.
Sexuality, especially outside of marriage, is especially frowned upon


[Thanks darcia26... good questions!]
So she really was his concubine or something like this.

Quote:
The king took her out to a "land of wires", connected them to her spine, and it would induce nightmares in Epsilon

<- I think this could be an metapher for somehting like alien sex.

What is also debatable is what the "creation" of Eppy was. Is the king truly something godly and was able to create life? Is Eppy really something alife?(she could be some kind of android with emotions) And if she is... is she the same species as the prince/king/queen?
Created can also mean something different. Perhaps she was living as a little child at the commons. The king took her into the palace and let her be educated. Thus he would have "created" her in a sense.

Last question: What happened that the apparently DEAD Queen is able to post comments. Shouldn't she... you know.. be more dead? A resurrection ritual somebody?

New post from the King. Someone isn't happy.


Also, the Queen's posts are starting to make some sense. Gathering her words by this order:


Quote:
I; On; Cheated; The King; With...



She's possibly trying to tell us something with scrambled words.


Also, tryed to contact Eppy via email by asking "is someone here?", and the king took his time to just answer me "The king will save you".

I have a few theories i thought I'd throw out here:

1) Croatoan, since its crossed out, might mean Eppy can be found. That she hasn't disappears like that tribe.

2) The thought that the king needed to receive the Purification Ritual might be what the king is refering to as a plot to dethrone him.

3) With the new posts by the Queen, maybe "I cheated on the king with..." Eppy. And thats why he killed the Queen and is after Eppy.

4) And about the Queen now being able to post, its probably just like other paranormal stuff. Ghosts haunting places because they were murdered and can sometimes be made contacted with.
