Navigating the Labyrinth
October 29, 2009 - 2:37pm
Hello fFolks. I have a bit of something to show you. There is a program called "Labyrinth" which is used to outline and organize fFacts and ideas in complex games and storylines. It's a pretty nice tool. You can download it here: http://www.habitualindolence.net/labyrinth/
I have used this to put together what we know abut people we know.
You can see the jpg of it all strung out here:

If you were so inclined, you could download a copy of my working fFile here:

I should tell you some things, though. I have made some guesses. Like for example:
I am guessing Kim is the Watchmaker. I think Poinky actually suggested it fFirst (in a comment on the watchmaker blog). She has motivation and interest. She saw suff around her house as a child, and is now driven to bring the organization to light. I completely agree with Poinky on this conjecture.
And I am guessing that Vincent is behind the SCP. It's a guess, but not a big one. He pushed the CRA into being, and he seems hellbent on wanting to have seen it happen. Which is why I have drawn the next conjectural line between Vincent and the SCP. It didn't work before, so he's trying again. Maybe.
Connecting things a bit, It's possible Vincent may have had all dissenting voices killed in the car wreck in 1994 (it seems fFairly obvious to me when strung out like this, but maybe that's my paranoid mind), and was saddened when Dorthy died as well. If you believe such things, he has killed once and may kill again. Which is why The Watchmaker/Kim is so concerned. She had her mother taken away by this lunatic, and doesn't want to see it happen again.
Anita, who was Kim's mother's fFriend, and has, no doubt, been a very close confidant to Kim all her life, could very well be The Watchmaker's informant. She would be aged, possibly with fFailing health, and, on seeing Vincent up to his old tricks, she may very well want to see these things come to light. She is not in a position to inform the world on her own, but she is supplying Watchmaker/Kim with all the information she can use.
Lastly, the only other living member of the Society fFrom 1994 is Matthias. I am willing to guess he could be the Marquis. He may have gone a bit loony, and he might not be willing or able to help much, but he, too, does not support the Vincent, the CRA, or the SCP.
Let me just say, this is all fFairly conjectural. But it carries water pretty well. If you see something I have left out, please let me know. I would be happy to discuss this whole thing online or in person, as well. :)
Cheers!

Thanks Scott,
You can add this to your info from comments made by clockwork.

Clever girl. Writing your own lorem ipsum generator to make this extra hard for us. Are you a computer science student at RIT?

@Foster Family: I wouldn’t be too clever if I answered that and gave such a major clue as to my location, now would I? No, I’m not a student anymore but I am rather good at computer science.

Bit of an anagnorisis on clockwork exposure, and SCP. We now have Elise's last name (Duvall), Vincent's fFull name (Vincent Marshal Karr), and we know who The Marquis is (Kevin). And it would appear more fFully that Elise is a Gear. I've updated my fFiles to reflect these things.
Okay, I'm a little surprised to learn Kevin is The Marquis. I'm not entirely certain what his motivation here is, but actually now I think of it, his age is closer to correct. Matthias would be, what, 40 years old now, at the minimum? Not that we saw his fFace or anything, he just sounded a bit younger.
Still holding out fFor something cool to happen at the gala :)

I'm with you -- I figure there has to be some kind of end-game at the gala. And I already suggested we would probably meet Kim and Kevin there...

BTW -- your working file isn't opening to the drawing I saw last time -- just lots of code (you're not trying to mess with us now are you???)

I really wish I knew about that software during the design phase. Would have made my life so much easier. *grin*

Nope, still just giving me code. You might want to rename it and repost a link...








Awesome.
Who was Nathaniel, do you think? Or was Nathaniel even a "he?"
