 		Yeah, I don't think she would have altered the ink on her. And with Amber being a psycho bitch she certainly looks much more guilty.

I guess we can scratch that down to a coincidence.

Well now I feel bad for calling Jenny Circe on her FB... Sad

 		Don't be. Any rise we can get out of Jenny can be good right now.

In terms of the similarities it could be a completely meta reason like being the same actress with makeup/lighting due to budget reasons, being related but are friends of the PMs, etc.

I think that if I were on the right track Talbot would have hinted my way. Him statung clearly that the ink is different to me are the PMs nudging me away from that theory.

But yes, if Jenny was to say anything at this point it would be fantastic.

Exactly, which is why I asked.... I was trying to get an ingame hot/cold hint. I admit though, they do look similar, just not enough in my book. Now if it ends up being the same actress I'll be shocked.... But I'll admit my wrong.

 		What if Circe is an amalgamation of the women in Talbot's life? So Amber AND Jenny? We are still maybe under the assumption this is all happening in Talbot's head...

And my call from Circe/Amber was a bit different. She said the same things but in a different order and a couple additional things. She started with You've already stepped too close with me.

If I'm remembering, this was my order:
You've already stepped too close
He came to see me
I see you
You see me too
If you want me to be the last thing you will ever see
Back off (or something like that)
<laughter>

 		Huh, odd, I don't think Jenny and Circe look that much alike at all? Seems to be quite an age difference...

Though I guess there are mostly meta reasons to support that, so I won't say anything Smile

(For slightly related meta reasons, I think I know that there's no significance to the tattoo on Jenny's wrist by the way...)

[META]I'll infer from this that you know a little something about the actresses portraying the roles... specifically, that they are in fact actressES and not actress. Mr. Green

I feel obliged to point out that, because Circe is clearly not an entirely normal human being, there's technically no reason two different people couldn't be portraying a Jenny/Circe entity.

That said, I don't believe they are. I tend to follow the ARG supplement to Occam's Razor, which states that, if there are multiple possible explanations for a phenomenon, one of which is significantly simpler and requires less extrapolation and fewer assumptions, then it is more likely that the PMs are not going out of their way to try to trick you, because they want you to understand and enjoy your experience.

For similar reasons, I also believe the phone call came from Circe rather than Amber, and I don't think Amber is Circe.[/META]

 		Trust me, I had to call my wife over to my PC and have her watch while I was moving the transparency slider back and forth when I merged the images going "Is it me or do they totally look alike???"

I didn't mean to throw a wrench in the creative problem solving. I really didn't. But when the calls from Circe were starting to come from a NY area code I felt compelled to say something.

I am sorry folks. Embarassed

You didn't!

No reason to be sorry! Never be reluctant to share a theory. Every idea helps, right or wrong, because it has the potential to trigger another thought in someone else.

Circe/Jenny/Amber
Don't be sorry!!! All spec is worthy - well, okay, if you had said she's santa's helper and you have proof... We might need to talk... But this was good. Just because I pushed back hard doesn't mean I didn't appreciate your efforts. I had to really look at it, and it encouraged me to talk to Talbot about the tattoos. I Was just giving the PMs a chance to shoot one of us down in game. If Talbot had come back and said he hasn't seen Circe's wrist, I would have been suspicious and more in the Jenny is Circe camp. Smile spec is good!!!!

 		I agree, spec is always good and no theory is too crazy to pursue in ARGs Razz

(well, ok, I agree with Pixie, the Santa's Helper theory just might be... but other than that...Wink )
