[RECAP] Societas Solanum - Who's Who

I was stupid and posted this on IU, where I think it was found by the SIC/FBI and used for nefarious purposes.

Just went through most of our info and came up with a few specs. I'm fairly sure about them though. (It's all confirmed now.)

Quote:

Sister Silverleaf has achieved her goals within their ranks. Brother Devilsfig will be with her soon. Brother Glowing and Sister Purple have confirmed their preparedness from their secret locations. Their adherence to the Prime Objective has bordered on the fanatical! Our newest members, Brother Mandragora and Sister Belladonna, are proceeding well in their training. Their arts, while contrary to many of our beliefs, may prove to be vital to our ultimate goal.

S. elaeagnifolium - Silverleaf nightshade - Sister Monica Argentum
From the above paragraph, we know Silverleaf has infiltrated the Order. She also 'intercepted' an e-mail to Dr. Gees. [SPEC] So either she has the password or she hacked in. That she is a prominent member and therefore has the password is most likely. Monica Argentum is the only other prominent female member other than Rebekah Wilson.

S. americanum. - Purple nightshade - Sister Sandra Wilheim
Red hair, green eyes, and short when she tandem-dreamt with Josh. (How hard would it be to just change your appearance?)
Specializes in "tandem dreaming".
She 'tandem dreamt' with Wonderberry and was the first to see her 'vision'.
Fears the FBI.
Is 'poetic'. (Realizing the Dream and one of her Haiku posts)

S. burbankii - Wonderberry (R.I.P) - Sister Cassandra Troy
Long black hair, grey eyes, young.
Commited suicide by slashing her wrists on August 31st. Last words were 'Moebius strip'.
Closest friend was Purple/Sandra.

glowing wrote:

Don't mention Cassandra!
Her "sacrifice" was as much
insanity as it was far any grand plan. If anything, her
suicide invalidates her vision rf a safe haven.
Not even "Wonderderry" was omnipotent.

And from the post, Wonderberry is Cassandra unless there's another Society member that's committed suicide (recently).

S. pseudogracile - Glowing nightshade - Brother Charles Poliano
Glowing is called Brother in the paragraph, but one of bluewitch's posts reads:

bluewitch wrote:

glowing still needs to
learn a lesson if her
husband were to wake up
from nightmares of
suffocation a few times
she may become much
more cooperative

glowing wrote:

What the hell it going on?
I'm out of touch for a month and suddenly
we're in a cult?! Before Bluewitch's eccentricities
were tolerable, but this is getting out of control.
I think it's time to get out while the getting's good.
I haven't projected in over a year, and I'm beginning
to think it was all just a fantasy.
I've got a family!
I've got a life!

In bevigilant.txt, Eliza tells Glowing to bring Belladonna and Mandragora (Jessica and Marcus) to the resort. [SPEC] Therefore, he's the one from ooc.mp3 . (There is also a post where Glowing says 'The kids are safe.')

ooc.mp3 wrote:

Contrary to what you might want to believe, Eliza, I'm not a woman.
I don't have a motherly instinct, and just because my dayjob involved social work doesn't mean I wanted to run a daycare centre.
Taking the twins from their mother wasn't the toughest part of this assignment.
They had already driven her into alcoholism long ago.
And faking the documents was cake.
But I really can't take care of them anymore.
Whenever they don't get their way, we are the ones who get punished.
My wife and I wake up with bruises and welts we didn't go to sleep with.
It's especially difficult with Marcus.
Children with autism should be handled by experts.
And autistics that can make you hurt yourself while you sleep is beyond my skillset.
And that beautiful girl of yours, Jessica, is evil.
I watched her guide a sleepwalking puppy into oncoming traffic, just because she could.
She doesn't even need to be asleep anymore to send her illusions to her sleeping victims.
What if she learns how to do it to people who are still awake?
What if they both grow beyond their current limitations?
They're dangerous, very dangerous. And it is getting out of control.

S. torvum - Devil's fig - Brother Scott Figgucio
Devilsfig was also going to try to infiltrate the Order.

schapin wrote:

In Josh's thread ('Greetings!'), silverleaf mentioned devilfig's real name: Scott. However, devilsfig didn't appreciate this and made silverleaf change it.

S. umbelliferum - Bluewitch nightshade - Sister Eliza Forester
Verified multiple times, Leader of the Society.

A. Belladonna - Sister Jessica
A. Mandragora - Brother Marcus
From the paragraph, we know that Belladonna and Mandragora are the two newest members, aka the kids.

akittencalledjen wrote:

[01:56] akittencalledjen: what's coming and who are the kids?
[02:01] SocietasSolanum: the kids...as we call them...are our newest members
[02:01] SocietasSolanum: we must guide them, protect them
[02:01] SocietasSolanum: even as they protect us

[SPEC]They have 'special gifts', different gifts than the rest of the Society, and probably the 'strongest'. Jessica and Marcus are also kids in the literal sense and they have the most 'special' and 'strongest' gifts since they can control people in their sleep. They both have one post each on the forums and they're childish ('I LIKE CAKE' and '...I want to hug him and squeeze him...'). And Kitten found out "The roots of the Mandrake are very nearly allied to Belladonna, both in external appearance and in structure." and Jessica and Marcus are twins.

EDIT1: If we go with the blacked-out names on the Order page are known Society members, that leaves us with:
Ben Pottier
Charles Poliano
Sandra Wilheim
That would leave us with an 'extra' male though. (Sandra would be Purple?)

EDIT2: Newest post on SS tells us that Glowing is Charles Poliano.

EDIT3: Josh confirmed Purple is Sandra Wilheim in chat and gave a bit more info on Wonderberry/Cassandra and Purple/Sandra.
