I do notice a "Song" on her Myspace. It is by "Floggi". Her music interests say Flogging Molly...possible one and the same.
"No more Paddy." is the song name.
I'm sick so this may sound disorganized... R.I.P.


Flogging Molly is a real band the do Irish folk music and are cool as all get out. I like them myself.

Have to be quick, no chance to talk, thought i'd add some newness to my space so i bought a new poster. anyway, Doctor Green said he wanted to see me today for an exam and that this one might take longer then usual, so i don't know when i'll be able to contact you all again, anyways, i'll post in my blog as soon as I get a chance. you all take care.


I got the same email. I think the exam she refers to in this email is the "reforming" the Dr. is talking about. My guess is when we hear from Prov next she won't remember anything or will be acting different - or at least the Dr, will think she's acting different. the fact that she continued to communicate to us after the first weird brain swap makes me think she has a way of resisting his procedures. I would guess that info we get via IM and the blog cannot be trusted but the Myspace is safe since the Dr. "doesn't know about it yet." Unless someone told him...

Also - I wonder about the AI thing - this is just a theory but the narrative here reminds me of the plot for the upcoming show, THE DOLLHOUSE.

In it agents are given different memories and personalities for different assignments. does anyone think this is a possibility?

If this were connected to Dollhouse, I would be thrilled. I love Eliza Dushku and Joss Whedon.

Remember when she said to use Morpheus? Maybe when engaging in chats with her we should ask for the password before talking about anything significant. If she says "Morpheus" we'll know it's her and not Dr. Green.

And I love how one of her interests is Emperor Norton. He's an interesting fellow. I also thought it was interesting that her picture is digitally created, ya' know, by a computer.

i think anyone who communicates with her...either via email OR im should be careful to not give away more information until we are certain it is her. above all, NO ONE should mention the word morpheus at all. let providence bring it up.

if dr. green mentions morpheus then the password has been compromised anyway and is no good.

Hey all I noticed she mentioned the author Neil Gaiman on her MySpace.
Then one of you mentioned The Doll House.

Figured this may (or not) be useful.

Emperor Norton also appears in Gaiman's Sandman. Between her interests in Gaiman, Flogging Molly, Firefly etc, I seriously hope the doc doesn't mindwipe her -- she's pretty darn cool.

oh yes. that would be GREAT.

2 things noticed:
1) she wrote EMPORER norton, not emperor, it's the second time she makes this typo, so... this is not a typo. Smile
2) myspace says she is 19, in her blog she said 21; and if I go to the page where the video is I see 20. but this is my first time on myspace, so maybe there's another explanation?

so i havent seen dollhouse, but from a brief look at imdb.com, its about erasing peoples memory and giving them a new memory?

that seems like it might be happening to our dear Providence. Her changing mood about the Dr's (that ended up not really changing). Her changing opinion of the guy from the mall whose name suddenly escapes me.

perhaps she is a member of the dollhouse?

NEWS: It was necessary for the PM to email those of us who'de already mailed with Providence to state they have a family emergency and updates will be sporadic at best. We should resume next week Wedmesday.

Y'all, I found this quite thoughtful. If the consensus is to post the email here,no worries. Just say what you want. OK?


Does this mean that the game is more or less on Hiatus for a week or so?

I suppose that could very well be. I suppose we'll have to wait and see what kind of a memory Providence comes back with. I've never seen it myself, but the basic plotline seems similar.

Here's a basic summary of Dollhouse: The people in the Dollhouse are considered "blank slates" that can have personalities and memories implanted. The people that run the Dollhouse provide a service for those with the money to pay. Everyone has wants. It's not necessarily sexual, though there are those too. Perhaps a loser in high school wants the experience of hanging out with a hot girl in the in crowd. A person from the Dollhouse would be selected, the proper personality and memories would be implanted, and this person would then act like a typical high school in crowd girl. It should be noted that they do not become a specific person, just the archetype. After each of these things, there is a memory wipe to eradicate the personality and memories. In their "default state" they're very childlike.

EDIT: No one has seen it yet. It's scheduled for a 2009 release.

I completely agree. I could be best friends with her.
