Could be, tho I think there are many hints to Mr Crow

#

There's a letter from Mr. Owl for Mr. Crow I think, plus the photo

#

And I think it says so on the Wiki, which isn't official but still

manic glade
#

One of the official timelines Rusty Lake put out on their blog a while ago said it was Mr. Crow

thorn copper
#

Ooh

manic glade
vague imp
#

Oh! Nice, thanks @manic glade

thorn copper
#

Oh my

#

I didnt know they had an official timeline

#

Thank you

manic glade
#

No problem

vague imp
#

Kinda disappointed now, lol.
Thought I was onto something.

thorn copper
#

Rusty Lake is very tricky it's sometimes very easy to take a totally different direction in theories

vague imp
#

I'll say...

silver anvil
#

I still don't understand how Vincent Van Gogh ties into the Vanderboom or Eilander families. Does anyone have a theory on this?

karmic crest
#

i gotchu

#

they're all related

#

it's a familial curse

silver anvil
#

But it still doesn't make sense to me

vague imp
#

I more think it's by ways of reincarnation.

#

One sec I typed a thing recently. (It's long)
You played The White Door I hope?

silver anvil
#

Well, we do use Van Gogh's ear for Paradox.
Also, yes, I did play The White Door, but plan to play it again to find more clues.'

vague imp
#

Ok, just want to make sure to not spoiler you.

silver anvil
#

It's alright

vague imp
#

Ok, so here goes:

||So far, I have been thinking that Bob could be van Gogh reborn because of the shotgun wound as we saw it in Theatre and Paradox. It matches with where the gun was held to van Gogh's/the corrupted soul's head in Arles.

In White Door it's suddenly on the other side, though.
(considering the mirror)

As we know, Theatre and Paradox all happen in Dale's head. What we see are his memories. His own memories could colour what he sees, meaning he could be former van Gogh and remember his own wound on the right side of his head, projecting this onto Bob.

Another thing that seems awkward: why is van Gogh using a relatively modern revolver if a pistol would be more fitting for his time?

The pistol Mr. Rabbit is getting (or trying to get) from Dale's family in Birthday, for example. The note he leaves marks this pistol as an item from his past lives. With the suit that Mr. Rabbit wears looking like Dale's in every detail, this would mean Dale had a past life where this pistol played a role.

This could also link Dale to Ms. Pheasant but in The Cave her corrupted soul still haunts the lake, so I doubt that.||

#

||Now, if this pistol is originally the one from van Gogh, why do we see a revolver in the Cube Escape: Arles?
Dale, being a detective surely has a gun like this. He handles it often, it requires cleaning, being kept in order. Even if he doesn't use or carry it, he'd train with it. It would surely be the first thing coming to his mind when he thinks of "a gun", thus overwriting the picture of his memory of Arles.

The locked away family heirloom/keepsake is something different to him entirely. It's this weird antique thing that he never even saw (in this life) until he took it out of the case, whether as his grown self who just murdered his own family disguised under a rabbit mask or as the 9 year old boy who travels a few minutes back in time to save them. He has no idea what opening the case will reveal, thus no expectation to see "a gun".||

There's still more but huge wall of text already and moving away from this particular topic.

silver anvil
#

Huh....I never thought of that..

vague imp
#

I'm... in too deep to stop tbh XD

silver anvil
#

I never really thought of reincarnation being in play with the Rusty Lake series

vague imp
#

In fact, it's all about reincarnation.
Do a search for "samsara, metempsychosis"

silver anvil
#

However, Dale's family was killed by D. Eilander.
If you look up the magician...his name was D. Eilander.
Does that mean Dale is an Eilander?
Because I do not think any of the original family has a name that starts with a "D", which the only one in the whole Rusty Lake series that has a name that starts with "D" is Dale himself.

david

silver anvil
#

Oh, I forgot David

vague imp
#

There we go! That's the other part I typed.
Grabbing ut quick!

silver anvil
#

What do you mean?

vague imp
#

More of my theory.

I know it's pretty wild but in correlation makes sense to me.

||Dale's expectation could also be what made him see the Mr. Rabbit in Paradox in a slightly different suit. Assuming Paradox takes place before Dale goes to pick up the pistol from his family, he still thinks it was a different person who caused their deaths and his own trauma, thus not seeing him in the suit he wears right now. Additionally, in Paradox Mr. Rabbit wears a necktie in some scenes, while in others, he doesn't. This could be a hint that current Dale does not clearly remember whether or not the attacker wore a tie.

Also, Dale probably links Mr. Rabbit to the name D. Eilander because he found out about David Eilander and him wearing a rabbit mask, during the extensive research he did about Laura and Rusty Lake.
When later he enters the memory of his birthday via a cube, he can either see it clear enough to make his suit recognisable because he actually entered the memory or because at this point he already knows the attacker was he himself||

ooo

silver anvil
#

OOOHHHH....

#

I love this server!

vague imp
#

So do I.
And thanks, I take that as a compliment!

silver anvil
#

It was a compliment!
It feels great, to me, to find people who love something so much, and put time into piecing everything together.

#

I am going to replay all the games again, but take notes so I can help with theories as well.

vague imp
#

Please do! But "real life", self care and all that! (My past few days were kinda wonky on that position)

There's some more of the theory around Dale and Bob, that's the last longpost for today!
I'll put it in ##the-white-door-help though

silver anvil
#

Okay!

#

Also, I have been wondering why Dale has ichthyophobia, fear of fish that are dead or alive. Which is somewhat funny because he has to deal with fish on more than one occasion.

vague imp
#

That is still a riddle to me. Catching a fish in a mousetrap might be a hint to that but honestly: How???

silver anvil
#

I don't know...

vague imp
#

Maybe something along the lines of

Dale: "Mom, can I have a cat?"
Mother: "No, I would just end up taking care of it."
Dale: "I can do that!"
Mother: "Do you really think you're old enough?"
Dale, thinking: pffh, like I can't open some tins!
Dale: "Of course!"
Mother: "Well, fine. But no excuses and no slacking!"
Dale, grinning: "promise!!!"

Next day
Mother: "So this is how you gut a fish. Watch closely!"
Dale: 😨

#

(That was fun xD )

silver anvil
#

(It seems so!)

vague imp
#

It would be a nice scene for a comic 🤔

silver anvil
#

It would, I can see it

thorn copper
#

Yet another maybe meaningless thing-

In Cave you have to put those pictures in the book. You find William on the puzzle on the next page-where you match the Vanderboom family pictures. You get Laura's picture which unwraps into William.
Then you get Aldous' picture from the mirror, and since you play as Mr. Crow it makes sense that the picture is of him.

And you find Dale's behind the bat. Could it be that maybe Dale is related to Mr. Bat?

I'm just nitpicking here, William and Aldous were in those places so players that didn't play Roots could figure it out, and Dale's was probably random cause we already knew him since almost the beginning.

drowsy burrow
#

@vague imp ||Still, I think there would still be some questions left unanswered. For one, we would need to ask ourself why Dale would link the death of his parents to exactly his tenth (was it the tenth?) Birthday. Of course we'd also be lacking a reason for him to kill his own family.
Another thing that bothers me on that regard is how exactly Dale could find out anything about David eilander and especially him wearing a rabbit mask. The eilanders were, how I see it, just a crazy group of fanatics for the rest of the population around the lake. I don't think they'd brag about their rituals to the outside world, atleast not that much and then still, why exactly David? Wouldn't the Eilander father (forgot his name) make more sense, given that Dale has already had an encounter with Mr. Deers soul before stepping into the elevator.

Still that would still leave open the question why Mr. Rabbit would appear in the memory. My take on it is, that neither Dale or Mr. Rabbit killed Dale's family. I think someone killed them either for something unrelated to rusty lake at all or it was all planned by Mr. Owl to set Dale on his path (highly speculative). I think Mr. Rabbit appears there, because all the memories that the lake swallows start to intertwine, becoming amalgamations of different peoples memories, sometimes creating completely new experiences. This is why Mr. Rabbit appears. It's kinda like how Laura appears in Dale's version of the paradox in paradox. I think she is not just an appearance but actually there, because their memories are more directly connected through the machine. In a similar way Mr. Rabbit has invaded Dale's memories directly||

@drowsy burrow
I'll definitely get back to you!

mint knot
#

Who find some easter eggs and secrets in "The White Door"?

#

I find some eg on film "Shining"

#

I find some eg on film "Shining"
@mint knot Where? What is it?

drowsy burrow

@vague imp I'm waiting

hasty quarry
#

Eldirtch, you are onto something, really massive secret, I was funny enough thinking of the entire bullet thing earlier today. Make me wonder how come we do not see much of the prospective of the gunshot on how it occured.

#

||Still I think Harvey and Laura you do not see of them much together in the entire series, only twice, in Paradox ⏱️ Second part, in the first part you only see the puzzles.||

#

You do not see much of them together duration of Paradox, until that part. You only solve Laura's puzzles mostly.

fallen vale
#

Carpet
@mint knot Damn, you're right. I thought it looked familiar but I was sure that I just recognized it from the Rusty Lake universe

hasty quarry
#

Honestly, they did the carpet in Toy Story too.

#

Funny speaking of Stephen King, I have been reading on and off Doctor Sleep of like a few months now.

@hasty quarry Nice. I didn't really like the movie. How is the book in comparison?

hasty quarry
#

VictRattlehead: I have not seen the movie, the book is like x-men.

hasty quarry
#

On topic to theories, I am doubting my own brainwaves, after nearly playing seasons last evening, I do not think to consider that that Harvey is the same kind of parrot, as in other games, because it is smaller then what the other games are. A small bird, the point is I think that Harvey is a different soul altogether.

violet dagger
#

It cant be hallucination though

forest thicket
#

Oh my god, it dont make any sense

violet dagger
#

And i dont think they were there twice caused in rusty lake hotel they were invited for the first time

#

To be killed

forest thicket
#

Maybe it just a "non-canon" thingy

violet dagger
#

Why would rusty lake do that

#

They love connecting everything together

forest thicket
#

Just a cool reference for other game that them made

violet dagger
#

But atleast they would get the year right wouldnt they?

forest thicket
#

Like all the van gogh's things

#

@violet dagger yes

violet dagger
#

But rusty lake roots is connected to the story of rusty lake

#

There other things in roots that are connected

forest thicket
#

Yes, i know

#

Maybe there's just somethings that are "non-canon"

violet dagger
#

Or they forgot

forest thicket
#

Yes

violet dagger
#

But what if it is connected somehow?

forest thicket
#

Other thing that i don't can solve is the white door

#

@violet dagger theres no way i think

violet dagger
#

Why not

forest thicket
#

Because the years dont match

violet dagger
#

Yes but there is no way they will put the wrong year

#

Just by mistake

forest thicket
#

Yes

#

Wait

#

What the phase where the RL hotel appear in RL roots?

violet dagger
#

Like years?

forest thicket
#

No

#

The phase

violet dagger
#

I dont get it

forest thicket
#

The three cubes

violet dagger
#

?

forest thicket
#

Oh god

violet dagger
#

What the three cubes has to do with the phase

forest thicket
#

Its hard to explain

#

These

violet dagger
#

Oh

#

Its one of james branches

#

I think the first or the second

#

Box

#

After james

#

You will see that its in 1870 and there is the rusty lake hotel events there

#

Even though hotel was in 1893

#

Or 1894

#

Are you here?

#

@forest thicket

forest thicket
#

Og

#

Im back

violet dagger
#

Ok what did you find?

forest thicket
#

In the hotel they tell that its the first time they come to hotel?

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

And the reason mr owl has invited them is to kill them

forest thicket
#

Oh god

#

It's too difficult

violet dagger
#

Yes

forest thicket
#

I think the only wsy to be solved is to be a allucination

violet dagger
#

Idk

#

Maybe time travel

#

?

#

Cause in season they showed time travel

#

When you go back in time and save harvey(the bird)

forest thicket
#

Seasons is not "real"

violet dagger
#

And again i dont think hallucination because of the statues

#

Oh

#

Of the animals

forest thicket
#

It's like a big puzzle in Laura mind

violet dagger
#

And how did they know the animals to the statues

#

Cause probalbly the stutues were there even before

forest thicket
#

@violet dagger maybe the animals are like a simbol of religion in these universes

#

Because in RL paradise they have masks of these animals

violet dagger
#

So why they were in hotel?

forest thicket
#

Because Mr.Owl wanted to kill him

#

The animals in hotel are just the reborn souls of the Mr. Owl's parents

#

But the animal simbolysm is like a reborn symbol

violet dagger
#

Wait but they needed to put in order the statues so how did they know were would they sit?

forest thicket
#

It's just a Puzzle

violet dagger
#

I am overthinking it

#

Because rusty lake has put meaning to everything

#

In their games

forest thicket
#

I dont think knocking a dead man tits would give the heart .-.

#

I don't try it

violet dagger
#

Yeah but rusty lake has a lot wierd stuff so in rl world its actaully possible

#

And it doesnt interfere with the story or timeline

forest thicket
#

I really think all the thing of the hotel in roots is just a non-canon puzzle

violet dagger
#

So that thing doesnt matter to the theory

#

I dont think so

#

Cause they used other things in roots that are connected to the story

forest thicket
#

But if this pizzle is real it eill need multiples universes to exist

#

Puzzle***

violet dagger
#

Eill?

forest thicket
#

Will***

violet dagger
#

Oh

#

Maybe there is multiple universes

forest thicket
#

Yes, yes

#

Oh

#

And i have a question in white door

violet dagger
#

What?

forest thicket
#

The bald guy is Mr. Owl in that game or not?

violet dagger
#

Maybe

#

But why whould mr owl would turn to a bald guy and how

forest thicket
#

He is a bald guy

#

He is literally a bald guy

violet dagger
#

Why whould he turn to be a human

#

That what i meant

forest thicket
#

Maybe because if someone sees a human owl just passing by they gonna all run .-.

violet dagger
#

So how he turned himself to a human

#

And what did mr owl used all the black cubes

forest thicket
#

Mr. Crowl already dis that in cade 23

violet dagger
#

Really case 23 is the only game i still havent playef

#

Played

#

Sorry

forest thicket
#

And i think the black cube gonna be used for something involving the Elixir

#

Because he is used to make the golden cube

#

And i think the golden cube gonna be used to make another elixir

violet dagger
#

But in the end of hotel you see mr owl with 5 cubes

#

Or 6

#

Idk

#

Whats the use for

forest thicket
#

Idk

#

Maybe build a army of corrupted souls?

violet dagger
#

Why?

forest thicket
#

(Insert Ww3 meme here)

#

Idk

#

Maybe wanting to kill someone

violet dagger
#

Who?

forest thicket
#

Idk

violet dagger
#

Did they say the name of the bald guy

#

I dont remmeber

#

Remember

forest thicket
#

I think he does

violet dagger
#

So what did they say his name was

#

Cause i didnt find it on google

forest thicket
#

Wait

#

I will see

violet dagger
#

Thank you

#

In the wiki they say that the white door is the first spinoff game of rusty lake

#

Wait

forest thicket
#

His name is J. Grant

violet dagger
#

Why in the wiki

forest thicket
#

'-'

violet dagger
#

They say that one of the characters is mr owl

forest thicket
#

One more proof the bald guy is mr owl

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

And actually in the charcters section there isnt the name j grant

forest thicket
#

Because he is the leader os the white door metal health and fishing

violet dagger
#

The advetisment is in hebrew

#

Btw

forest thicket
#

And Mr. Owl is the leader of the Rusty Lake mental health and fishing

violet dagger
#

Where does it say that

forest thicket
#

I dont remember where

violet dagger
#

Wait nvm they say that in hotel

#

I remember

forest thicket
#

Oh, yes

violet dagger
#

But its not the same place though

#

I think

forest thicket
#

I reaaly think it is

#

I don't know any place that have mental health and have fishing

#

(At least not in Brazil)

violet dagger
#

Cause they were saying mental health and fishing is the hotel itself

#

In rl hotel

forest thicket
#

'-,

#

Maybe mental heakth and fishing is like a company

violet dagger
#

Yes could be

#

And btw why did they called the cafe owl nest

#

Does it have to do with mr owl

#

?

forest thicket
#

Like...rusty lake hotel of the mental health & foshing company

#

@violet dagger i think it bahave to mr owl too

#

Behave***

violet dagger
#

Wait in reddit someone said that the people mr owl invited are his family

forest thicket
#

Yes

#

It his family

violet dagger
#

Where did they said that?

forest thicket
#

Praticaly all the paradise game

violet dagger
#

Oh

forest thicket
#

(Oh god, i need to know more english .-.)

violet dagger
#

Lol

#

So maybe mr owl actually invited them a few times

#

So why mr owl wanted to kill them

forest thicket
#

They killed mr owl in the end of the paradise i think

#

Or barely didi it

#

Did***

violet dagger
#

Wait what is they year in pardisw

#

Paradise

forest thicket
#

1700 and something

#

I think

#

Wait

violet dagger
#

So why they didnt find it suspicious when mr owl invited them

#

And probably they didnt kill mr owl

#

Cause in 1893 he was still alive

#

They were all alive

forest thicket
#

But mr. Owl already reborn at lwast one time

#

Least***

#

Last***

violet dagger
#

Reborn?

forest thicket
#

Yes

violet dagger
#

When

forest thicket
#

Idk

violet dagger
#

After paradise?

forest thicket
#

But he is a animal now

#

@violet dagger maybe

violet dagger
#

So how do you know je was reborn

#

He

forest thicket
#

Only someone that reborn can be a animal

#

Like mr. crowl

violet dagger
#

So does that means all the other animals were reborn to?

forest thicket
#

But i think the rabbit in the birthday don't is a real animal

violet dagger
#

Ok

forest thicket
#

@violet dagger yes, i think

violet dagger
#

Ok i dont remember what happend in paradise but were they already animals in pardise when they tried to kill mr owl

#

?

forest thicket
#

No

#

Only have animal masks

#

(That are the same animals from the hotel)

violet dagger
#

How did they know what animals they would be

#

?

#

And how were they killed

forest thicket
#

Idr how they were killed

#

But i think the animals that someone is turn is like a strong emotional animal for him

violet dagger
#

Oh

#

Maybe

forest thicket
#

Like mr crowl

#

The crowl is a symbol for the vanderboom family

violet dagger
#

But again why would mr owl would invite them a few times and then killed them in 1893

#

Kill

forest thicket
#

Isk

#

Idk***

violet dagger
#

And if they killed him in paradise why would mr owl would want to invite them but to kill them

#

The only reason he has is to kill them

#

No?

forest thicket
#

Maybe not

violet dagger
#

So again why did he decied in 1893 to kill them

#

He for sure has a reason

forest thicket
#

Idk

violet dagger
#

I have so many question and its hard or impossible to answer them

forest thicket
#

Yes

#

Me too

violet dagger
#

Wait is the cube escape arles has something relatwd to the story

#

Cause its not called as a apinoff

#

Spinoff

forest thicket
#

I have a littke theory

violet dagger
#

What

#

I want to hear it

forest thicket
#

Van gogh is the dad of aldous and william

#

It make little sense

violet dagger
#

How

#

Can you explain?

forest thicket
#

In rl universe it have 3 familys with van

violet dagger
#

?

#

What do yoy mean

forest thicket
#

Van, vandermeer and vanderboom

violet dagger
#

Oh

#

Idk

#

Wait

#

But the last name of van

#

Is gogh

#

But williams is vanderboom

#

Or meer

#

Idk

#

Boom

#

I checkes

forest thicket
#

Vandermeer much people say that his origin is mr crow and the old woman in the mill

violet dagger
#

So now we need to find the father of mr crow

#

And what is the name of the old woman

#

?

forest thicket
#

I think its van gogh

#

@violet dagger the name of the old woman don't exist ;-;

violet dagger
#

Oh

#

Wait what was mr crow full name

#

First and last name

vague imp
#

Aldous Vanderboom

violet dagger
#

Oh rifht

#

Right

#

So its not connected to van gogh

#

Cause they dont have the same last name

#

@forest thicket

#

But idk

forest thicket
#

Maybe van gogh put the name Van and his woman put derboom

violet dagger
#

But we dont know the name of the woman

forest thicket
#

Yes

violet dagger
#

And what is the origin of vandermeer

#

Meer

#

Not boom

forest thicket
#

Mr owl with the old woman in the mill

violet dagger
#

Wait what

#

How

forest thicket
#

Mr crowl is immortal

violet dagger
#

Mr crow is also immortal

drowsy burrow
#

In which way would they be connected to the vandermeers?

violet dagger
#

So

forest thicket
#

OH GOD

#

Wait

#

All the oel that i said

violet dagger
#

Oel?

forest thicket
#

Owl*((

violet dagger
#

Oh

forest thicket
#

Is crowl

#

Sorry

violet dagger
#

Oh

drowsy burrow
#

You just shipped Crow and owl

#

You madlad

violet dagger
#

But you said the mr crow and the old lady is vanderboom

#

Not meer

#

But we still dont know the ladys name

forest thicket
#

The old lady is meer

violet dagger
#

So what is the origin of boom

drowsy burrow
#

In which rwlation? Dale's grandmother?

violet dagger
#

Idk

forest thicket
#

Wait guys

violet dagger
#

What

forest thicket
#

Let me explain exactly

drowsy burrow
#

I don't think the origins of the booms is important. Only William and Aldous are the only real important figures

violet dagger
#

Still

#

I want to know both origins

#

But xander you werent in the start of the theory we were talking about the hotel

drowsy burrow
#

I've tried to catch up with what you guys said

forest thicket
#

VAN gogh+"someone" derboom=aldous and william VANDERboom
Aldous VANDERboom+"SOMEONE" meer=family vandermeer

violet dagger
#

That in roots we saw the animals in the hotel in 1870

#

But the events of rl hotel is in 1893

#

And mr owl wanted to kill them

#

So probably he didnt invite them twice ot more

drowsy burrow
#

Ok, makes sense

violet dagger
#

But than we said maybe he did invite

#

But what was the reason he killed them in 1893

#

Why sid he do that

#

And not in 1870

#

Or other time

drowsy burrow
#

It is highly likely that owl is a person that plans into the future. Perhaps he predicted that he'd might need to kill them eventually

#

Perhaps the lake was carving memories

violet dagger
#

So why did he invite them more than once

forest thicket
#

Maybe the owl not want to kill him vor vengance

violet dagger
#

Maybe

forest thicket
#

But for the black cubes

drowsy burrow
#

Having them at the lake and making them stay there might've been enough for the lake to get some memories, but when the lake got greedy he killed them to get more condensed memories in form of cubes?

violet dagger
#

So what does he use the black cubes for

#

Wait

#

I have a theory

drowsy burrow
#

The problem here is that we don't know how conscious the lake is, if it really has a consciousness

violet dagger
#

Maybe he used the cubes to turn back to a human

#

Cause in the white door

#

He was peobably the bald guy

drowsy burrow
#

Dunno

violet dagger
#

Whats the use of the black cubes

drowsy burrow
#

It seems like them turning into humans is just a sign of the elixir wearing of

#

Feed the cubes to the lake. I mean, we do it in the mill

violet dagger
#

So what are the uses of the black cubes

forest thicket
#

I think the cubes have more than one use

#

But what the use of the golden cube?

violet dagger
#

Idk

#

But i think you are right about the elixier wearing off and turning back to the human form

drowsy burrow
#

According to that weird prophecy book in caves it's "the window to the future" the counterpart or evolution of the blue cube

violet dagger
#

Cause they say that in the wiki

drowsy burrow
#

Yeah. That's why they turn back to animals in the cave, when getting the extract

forest thicket
#

Wait

#

I think i know it

violet dagger
#

Wait whats the use of the white cube

drowsy burrow
#

Basically white and black cubes are just memories, white being good ones and black being bad, painful ones

violet dagger
#

And in the wiki they say the golden cube use in unknown but the key to the future

forest thicket
#

I think the golden cube makes like a paradox

drowsy burrow
#

Again, create the golden cube and feeding the lake

violet dagger
#

And blue cubes to return back in time

drowsy burrow
#

How would the golden cube make a paradox?

violet dagger
#

Idk

forest thicket
#

Not a real paradox

violet dagger
#

The golden cube is creates by combining the blue white and black cubes together

forest thicket
#

But a mind paradox

#

It turn all your memories into a huge pile of memories and dream

violet dagger
#

Your brain already does that though

drowsy burrow
#

For what reason would it do that

violet dagger
#

Normally

drowsy burrow
#

And how would it help owl?

violet dagger
#

Idk

forest thicket
#

But the golden cube makes you go into that mind paradox

violet dagger
#

Why

#

You dont know that

#

Cause we still dont know the use of the golden cube

drowsy burrow
#

That's why it's called a theory

violet dagger
#

Yes

forest thicket
#

It's a fuse of 2 solid memories and 1 mind time machine

#

And yes, the blue cube is only in mind

violet dagger
#

But what is mr owl intentions?

forest thicket
#

@violet dagger maybe omnipitence?

violet dagger
#

Cause i dont think the golden cubes create mind paradox

#

Because what would mr owl would use it

#

For

#

Cause he probably trying to get the golden cube

forest thicket
#

Because the Eilander already become immortal using the power of the lake

violet dagger
#

So what is the power of the lake

drowsy burrow
#

I guess the golden cube is in one way or form needed to create the perfect elixir

violet dagger
#

Maybe

forest thicket
#

I think the lake is like a god

violet dagger
#

So why they say the golden cube is the key to the future

drowsy burrow
#

Considering that the elixir is losing it's effect and even owl seems to be affected by it, he may need the new perfect elixir

violet dagger
#

But

#

What is the key to the future has to do with the perfect elixier

drowsy burrow
#

Now THAT is something the future game have to show

forest thicket
#

Waiy

violet dagger
#

But the key to the future and the perfect elixier doesnt connect

#

Like jist think

#

Just

#

How could it be connected

drowsy burrow
#

And if the perfect elixir IS the future?

violet dagger
#

How

drowsy burrow
#

Perhaps it shows a vision of what is needed, perhaps itself is an ingredient

#

There are many possibilities

violet dagger
#

Idk maybe

#

Now it will take a while until the next game

#

Its annoying to wait just to probably have more question about the story

#

@drowsy burrow

forest thicket
#

Guys

#

I think i have something

drowsy burrow
#

@violet dagger It seems like the story is coming to a close. I don't think we'll get more questions. At least much more

violet dagger
#

You dont really know if the story comes to a close

forest thicket
#

I think i found something rhat might help

violet dagger
#

You dont know what would they do

#

What

#

@forest thicket

#

?

drowsy burrow
#

They said that Dale's story is about to end. And Dale's story might end with the golden cube and perhaps the true elixir

forest thicket
#

The fish in the alchemy part is made of small eggs and algae

violet dagger
#

Ok

#

So

drowsy burrow
#

Yes

forest thicket
#

And small eggs made the egg that mades the elixir

#

And the fish is used to make the white cube

violet dagger
#

How the small eggs made the egg

forest thicket
#

@violet dagger chalk+small egs

violet dagger
#

The black egg in seasons that harvey made has made a cube

#

Maybe it has a connection?

forest thicket
#

I think yes

violet dagger
#

How would an egg make a black cube

forest thicket
#

Harvey is not a normal bird

violet dagger
#

I know

drowsy burrow
#

Seasons is still just the memories of a corrupted soul

forest thicket
#

Yes, yes

drowsy burrow
#

It might not even be the REAL Harvey, we see there

forest thicket
#

@drowsy burrow maybe

violet dagger
#

But why would they put it in a game

#

Maybe it has to somthing with the story

#

Like it have to

#

No?

#

Maybe it has somthing to do with harvey

forest thicket
#

I think the golden cube is like a refined memorie

violet dagger
#

So why you also need a blue cube to make a golden cube

#

Blue cubes are used for time travel

forest thicket
#

No

violet dagger
#

Yes

drowsy burrow
#

Now, weird idea but listen to me.

I theorise that seasons doesn't actually take place at those dates. In seasons we hear mr.crow speaking on the telephone. It's the same things he tells the corrupted Laura in the mill. I think seasons is Laura, gaining a clearer consciousness while being pacified by Mr.crow

forest thicket
#

The blue cubes are used to re-do some memory

drowsy burrow
#

But we don't know if it actually redoes the real life event

#

And doesn't just affect the memory

forest thicket
#

It not does

violet dagger
forest thicket
#

If it does laura would not be dead anymore

violet dagger
#

Just read

drowsy burrow
#

Yes, but this is a fan wiki. As long as something there doesn't say It was specifically stated by the rusty lake devs ,it's still a theory

forest thicket
#

It in any time of the games go back in time in real life

violet dagger
#

So why would they write it in the wiki if its not confirmed

#

Cause they only write facts

#

If not they would say it was a theory

forest thicket
#

It go back in time is half a fact

drowsy burrow
#

Perhaps because they believe it to be facts?

forest thicket
#

Because it goes back in time

#

But only in memories

drowsy burrow
#

The person writing this article could still be mistaken

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

But not a big chance

drowsy burrow
#

And every person can edit a wiki page

violet dagger
#

Yes but then its confirmed by mods

#

If not

drowsy burrow
#

The fact is, that we have never seen a clear confirmation that something ACTUALLY changed in real life due to the use of a blue cube

violet dagger
#

You will not see it in the wiki if it wasnt confirmed by the mods of the wiki

drowsy burrow
#

But when was the page last updated? The information could since long been outdated

violet dagger
#

Let me check

drowsy burrow
#

Confirmed in which way? As far as I know the mods of the wiki aren't the devs, so they can't say for sure

violet dagger
#

They dont say when

#

But if the mods wouldnt know that they will not put it in the wiki

#

Am i wrong

drowsy burrow
#

It was popular for people to believe that the blue cube changes actual time back then and people might have mistaken the general opinion of the audience as fact

violet dagger
#

Ok lets return to thetheory

drowsy burrow
#

I dunno. I don't think you should blindly trust things a wiki page says, atleast in things that are lacking proper confirmation

violet dagger
#

Theory

drowsy burrow
#

K

#

Some have a theory left?

violet dagger
#

Mr owl intentions?

drowsy burrow
#

Perhaps. Specific numbers seem to be a thing owl likes

violet dagger
#

Yes

forest thicket
#

Maybe specific numbers is like a ritual?

#

Like...

violet dagger
#

So in paradise before mr owl turns to the animal he was a bald guy

#

?

forest thicket
#

To revive he mother?

violet dagger
#

If mr owl is the bald guy from the white door

forest thicket
#

@violet dagger he was not bald yet

violet dagger
#

Oh yes

forest thicket
#

But yes

#

He's the bald guy

violet dagger
#

Wait

#

In cube escape the mill

#

Mr owl leaves a not to mr crow

#

Note

#

That said

#

I will be sending you the body of the woman

#

What woman?

forest thicket
#

Laura

violet dagger
#

Oh

#

Wait what was the year the mill have been

#

And what year was case 23

#

And how she was killes twice

#

In two differenet ways

forest thicket
#

Wait

#

What?

#

Killed twice?

#

How?

violet dagger
#

One time wad hunged

#

Was

#

And second time was killed (case 23)

forest thicket
#

Oh gooood

#

I dont know what is hunged

#

Wait

violet dagger
#

Laura was hunged

forest thicket
#

Idk what it is ;-;

violet dagger
#

Oh nvm

forest thicket
#

Sorry

violet dagger
#

She was hunged after she died

#

She died in case 23 and then was sent by mr owl to the mill

#

To create a black cube

forest thicket
#

Its hanged, not?

violet dagger
#

Idk

#

Maybe

#

Idc

#

So hanged

#

Sure

forest thicket
#

It's hanged

violet dagger
#

So mr owl sends laura to the mill

#

Ok so its hanged

#

Does it matter

#

If you understood me than its fine

forest thicket
#

Ok

#

Sorry

violet dagger
#

But why does mr owl need so many black cubes

#

And white cubes

forest thicket
#

What is the basemen achievement, btw, maybe it soulve something, it is for the 22 january site?

#

Solve***

violet dagger
#

The devs said they closed it

#

Untill the 22 update

forest thicket
#

Oh

#

Ok

violet dagger
#

Is 22 the 22 of january?

forest thicket
#

Yes

violet dagger
#

Ok

#

Maybe it asnwers something

#

We need to wait until tommorow

silver anvil
#

What have I missed?

violet dagger
#

A lot

#

Like so much

silver anvil
#

As always I do...

violet dagger
#

I can explain what you missed

silver anvil
#

I am not on all the time....

violet dagger
#

Ok

#

Let me explain

silver anvil
#

Also, would you please?

#

If you don't want to retype it here, you can dm me if you like.

violet dagger
#

Ok first rl hotel events happend in 1893 but in roots we saw the same animals in the hotel

#

So than we assumed maybe they were in the hotel a few times

#

Then what is the intention of mr owl killing them in 1893

#

And not before

silver anvil
#

Yes, but we find out that the animals are the portrayals of Jakob's family members in Paradise

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

But

#

Why did mr owl decided to kill them

#

In 1993 and not before

#

1893

#

What happend in that time that he decided to kill them

silver anvil
#

Because he had to wait until Dale or Laura was ready...I imagine

violet dagger
#

No

silver anvil
#

It was a guess

violet dagger
#

Cause laura was already dead

silver anvil
#

Oh...yeah...

violet dagger
#

And dale was shown in the end of hotel so maybe

#

Like riding the elevator of the hotel

#

I havent thought about that

#

But if yes why did he wait for dale

silver anvil
#

In Paradox, Mr. Owl tells Dale that he needs a successor

violet dagger
#

When did paradox events happend?

#

What year

silver anvil
#

However, to do that, Dale has to face his corrupted soul.
But in the secret ending, Dale does not, but goes back in the elevator with the gold cube

violet dagger
#

How he was with a golden cube

#

They still havent created it

#

Probably they need to put the golden cube in the lake

#

And then something would happen

silver anvil
#

Yet, at the same time, when Dale does face his corrupted soul, he becomes corrupted, and creates a continuous loop of either ending his life or Laura's

violet dagger
#

But laura is dead

silver anvil
#

Not necessarily....
If you take in to account of all of the family members from Paradise, which each gets killed; but miraculously comes back the next day like nothing never happened

violet dagger
#

But in every game laura is dead except the first game in the series

#

The lake i think its calles

#

Called

#

Why isnt laura alive then?

silver anvil
#

She is not dead in Harvey's Box either..

violet dagger
#

How

silver anvil
#

Idk

violet dagger
#

She is dead

#

There isnt any proof that she was alive in harvy box

#

Cause the one you control is harvey

silver anvil
#

Okay. Laura is dead, but if you think of it....Jakob is dead too, but he became Mr. Owl

violet dagger
#

Jakob didnt die

#

Waitn

#

Wait

#

No

#

Nvm

silver anvil
#

He was burned as a sacrifice, and merged with the corrupted soul to become the person he is

violet dagger
#

His name was jakob grant

#

That is true

#

He has used the elixier

silver anvil
#

I thought his name was Jakob Eilander

violet dagger
#

I dont think so

#

Because

#

In the white door

#

There is the manager that is called j grant

#

And probably he was mr owl

#

That turned human

#

Again

#

Cause he used the elixier

#

To be turned into an oel

#

Owl

#

But the elixier weared off

#

So he turned back to a human

#

I think that what happend

silver anvil
#

Unless he changed his name so he would not cause any suspicion.
Also, Aldous (Mr. Crow) and Mr. Owl can change back and forth from animal to human form anyway.
||For example, in The Cave, if you look in the mirror after taking the elixir, every time you touch Aldous's hat, he can convert back and forth with ease.||

violet dagger
#

Ok

#

But wait

#

I think i have found somthing

#

Ok robert hill has dated laura

#

You see it in the white door

#

But

hasty quarry
#

IF Hotel is in the same time frame as Seasons.

violet dagger
#

Wait

hasty quarry
#

I just finished up Seasons and the lake.

silver anvil
#

Yes, but I have not found all the secrets from TWD

violet dagger
#

The white door happens in 1970

hasty quarry
#

So my mind is fresh on both of those games.

violet dagger
#

And laura died in 1870

wild root
#

no 1972

violet dagger
#

Ok sure

wild root
#

August

violet dagger
#

But laura died in 1870

hasty quarry
#

1972, that is when Laura died in August the second.

silver anvil
#

And Dale's search started around the same time in 1972

hasty quarry
#

no, Laura did not die duration in Seasons.

violet dagger
#

No

wild root
#

Laura died 12th october 1971

hasty quarry
#

Like I just said, I just finished up seasons, duration of that time, of where Laura was still alive.

silver anvil
#

Laura was corrupted in Seasons, but not dead...I don't think so

violet dagger
#

Oh wait nvm

hasty quarry
#

Not dead, she was not dead at all Babette Night, that was a different soul, the same one as in Harvey's box.

#

same set of wings.

violet dagger
#

Seasons was the dreams of a corrupted soul

#

So no

silver anvil
#

Wait...the one in Seasons had wings!?

violet dagger
#

Seasons isnt real

hasty quarry
#

yes, you barely see it in a flash, but pretty sure it had wings.

silver anvil
#

Who else do you think has black wings? Hm?

hasty quarry
#

True, season's was not really real, it felt to jumpy to be a solid time glass.

silver anvil
#

Mr. Crow can be corrupted as well....

violet dagger
#

Ok i am going i will return in 10 to 20 mintues

hasty quarry
#

Seasons was used as a book mark duration of Hotel, and possibly they do run together. Yes Mr. Crow by a far fetch can be corrupted.

#

By a wide margin Alister can be corrupted. If meaning that Alister took it up on himself, as a younger lad.

silver anvil
#

Who is Alister?

hasty quarry
#

Aldous Vanderboom I meant sorry about that, my mind tends to lean into something more darker.

silver anvil
#

It's alright

violet dagger
#

I am back

hasty quarry
#

What do you think, of it Babette Night?

silver anvil
#

It makes sense..

hasty quarry
#

I littearly finished up Seasons around five minutes ago, so yeah the timeline is still pretty fresh. I have to keep my mind busy anyways.

violet dagger
#

Wait how old is dale cause you see him in the end of rl hotel (1893) and you see him in 1970 also

wild root
#

HE was born in 1930

#

December

silver anvil
#

I am planning to replay all the Rusty Lake games, and take notes

violet dagger
#

So how you see him in 1893

wild root
#

it is the future

hasty quarry
#

He was born in 1930, December, if you remembered that day of Birthday. He was around nine.

wild root
#

that you see

hasty quarry
#

Right?

violet dagger
#

But

wild root
#

you are right

silver anvil
#

Dale was born 18/12/1930, and he is 5 years older than Laura and 1 year older than Robert (Bob)

violet dagger
#

How you see him in 1893 in rl hotel?

wild root
#

It was the future

violet dagger
#

How isnt it the past

hasty quarry
#

What? I do not understand why could you see Dale in Hotel?

violet dagger
#

Idk

silver anvil
#

Mr. Deer

hasty quarry
#

I...oh wait including White door?

violet dagger
#

But in the end of rl hotel you see dale going up the elevator

wild root
#

in the end Mr Owl tells you that the memories are not only the key to the past but also to the future, take a look

violet dagger
#

Yeah the same as the golden cube

wild root
#

yeah

#

its condusing

violet dagger
#

They sag the golden xube is the key to the future

#

Say

#

Cubr

#

Cube

wild root
#

it is an older game the idea of the golden cube could have not existed yet

hasty quarry
#

We all get what you are saying potiryan, different people with different ideas and typing, so do not worry too much of spelling.

violet dagger
#

Ok

#

I just missclicking

#

The buttons

#

And typing to fast

hasty quarry
#

I do not think there is a Golden Cube or anything of that note in Seasons, Cerberus, unless you do count the two endings, of where the light, is somehow like a cube duration of the flash of light.

#

I am 100% Certian on that.

wild root
#

i mean the ending of hotel

hasty quarry
#

Ah.. Deer Skull, find the bat right? Oh wait you mean Paradox

wild root
#

season plays 70 years later

#

seasons starts 1964

#

hotel plays around 1893

violet dagger
#

Yes

hasty quarry
#

ah you are right, my brain jumps from one to the the other.

violet dagger
#

Wait in rl hotel

#

You find a cigar box

#

And the same cigar box is in harveys box

wild root
#

yes

#

but it isjust a branding

violet dagger
#

Oh ok

wild root
#

The Cigar box give you the hint that you are playing Harvey in Rusty Lake Hotel and its proven in birthday after you enter the secret code that you recieve in hotel

violet dagger
#

Yes

silver anvil
#

Secret code?

violet dagger
#

But in the end of hotel mr owl was telling you that you are harvey

wild root
#

thats the only purpose of the box

#

yeah

violet dagger
#

So the box doesnt have any purpouse

#

Purpose

wild root
#

because he was glad that you brought him the cigars

violet dagger
#

Oh yeay

#

Yeah

#

Right

#

But what secret code

silver anvil
#

Oh

violet dagger
#

I dont remember

wild root
#

should i tell

violet dagger
#

Like the keys?

wild root
#

?

violet dagger
#

In the end

#

?

wild root
#

i think it was 1894

violet dagger
#

Oh yes

#

I remember that

#

You see it in the the end credits

#

There is a button

silver anvil
#

Wait!? There is a button!?

violet dagger
#

Yes in lkke the end screen

#

When they say thank you for playjng

#

If you did all the meals 3 star

#

Stars

silver anvil
#

Grrr....I need to stop skipping credits

violet dagger
#

Lol

#

But i dont think there is any other credit secret

#

So...

#

But i heard about the basement secret in the white door what is it

wild root
#

you will find out in 15 hours

violet dagger
#

Rusty lake said they took it down and will bring it back in the 22 of jan

#

Yes

#

I hope it help us to figure out something about thw story

#

The

#

I dont care even if its somthing small

wild root
#

The white door only tells a few things but not many

violet dagger
#

Yeah

#

But maybe this secret

#

Will help

wild root
#

some informations were minor missing pieces

#

but we still dont know if it really was suicide or murder

#

i mean Lauras death

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

Maybe mr owl killed her cause the he used her dead body to create cubes

#

Then

#

Cause in the mill he used her to create cubes

wild root
#

but the question is: why does mr owl needs Lauras memories? i mean she is the reincarnation of William Vanderboom who was the inventor of the elexier

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

Maybe he wants to create the oerfect elixier

#

Perfect

#

The ture elixier

#

Or whatever

silver anvil
#

Do you think it would lead up to William actually coming back?
If Laura dies, then there is a possibility that William can come back fully

violet dagger
#

That is the key to the future

wild root
#

But what is the true elixier

violet dagger
#

Idk

wild root
#

William came back but as a woman

violet dagger
#

Yes litterly a reincarnation

#

She probably has memorys of the elixier because of her being the reincarnation

wild root
#

but the elixier was not the real answer as you can see

violet dagger
#

Yes but you dont know

wild root
#

yes, we dont know

silver anvil
#

But if the woman is dead, and her memories come back to the lake....
||No wonder the lake became dark in The Mill...because William was already corrupted, which the lake refused Laura's memories||

violet dagger
#

Maybe

wild root
#

we will have to wait and see what will happen when Dale reaches the hotel

violet dagger
#

?

wild root
#

the lift goes up

violet dagger
#

Yes

hasty quarry
#

I wonder who was the corspe in Seasons, anyone know?

violet dagger
#

But it was in rl hotel

wild root
#

you can see this countless times

violet dagger
#

Wait why is he in the past

wild root
#

?

violet dagger
#

Cause he went up the elevator i rl hotel

#

In

#

And rl hotel is in 1893

wild root
#

that was a view in the future

violet dagger
#

And probably when reached the hotel somthing happend

#

I heard a theory about the golden cube that if you put it in the lake something will happen

#

So maybe that what will happen

wild root
#

just throw a cube in the lake and everything can happen

#

we dont know

violet dagger
#

Maybe he already got the cube when he went up the elevator

hasty quarry
#

(i.e. Paradise and David.)

violet dagger
#

The golden cube

wild root
#

Mr owl stated that Dale is the one that can stop the corrupted souls.

#

thats the only infomation that we know

violet dagger
#

Wait but mr owl created corrupted souls

#

Some of them atleast

wild root
#

yeah sure

#

it is a side product

violet dagger
#

So why does he want to srop them

#

Stop

hasty quarry
#

Even if he did stop them all, could that mean he can even use his own pocket watch too? Kind of strange string theory on me shotting in the dark with Birthday's secret ending.

#

*Shooting.

violet dagger
#

Ok but it doesnt make sense that he wants to stop them

#

The corrupted souls

wild root
#

As we said we dont know

violet dagger
#

Then why did he create corrupted souls

hasty quarry
#

You see as a magician myself, I want to stop things before they really hurt others. Maybe that is why, so he does not get hurt himself.

wild root
#

His goal is to gain enlightment.

violet dagger
#

Ao he creates corrupted souls to stop them?

wild root
#

We dont know nothing else

violet dagger
#

So*

wild root
#

extracting memories crates corruptes souls

#

creates

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

But wait i have a theory

#

Maybe

wild root
#

They are an annoying product

#

side product

hasty quarry
#

Maybe Mr. Owl was seeking throughout the events of the entire Rusty Lake, ergo you only see what he really wants other to see, in a strange movement though, as those memories as the creation inside each soul to have, the first one was Laura, we can agree on this, even facing the darkness within to the open road. Mr. Owl's real other project was digging through his own mind.

violet dagger
#

Maybe the corrupted souls were before even mr owl so when he creates black cubes (that makes corrupted souls) to create thr golden cube that will stop all of the corrupted souls

hasty quarry
#

Well souls are known to bound throughout different homes, when left empty.

wild root
#

I think we should wait until the next game comes out, it will hopefully answer these questions

hasty quarry
#

I think it is a pathway to the white door.

#

Somehow triggers with bad food, even like donuts can be a sugar rush into how the body is.

violet dagger
#

And cerberus i dont think you were here when the question of when rl hotel happend was 1893 but in roots you see the whole animal crew(mr deer,pigion boar and the others) in 1870
So we assumed he invited them a few times but why did he kill them only in 1893

#

You see them in roots in the hotel

wild root
#

i saw the discussion

hasty quarry
#

Indeed. Why on that date?

violet dagger
#

Oh

wild root
#

i can not explain in either

violet dagger
#

Maybe rusty lake messed up on the timeline

#

And accidently wrote 1870

wild root
#

it could be a different visit

hasty quarry
#

Now here is the real killer, pun intended, why so many animals?

violet dagger
#

Yes

#

It could

#

But why only kill i 1893

#

In

wild root
#

We dont know why he needs their memories?

violet dagger
#

No

hasty quarry
#

No like August, December moon phase with that memory overlasping?

wild root
#

i can assume that it was revenge but that does not make really sense

violet dagger
#

In the end of hotel we see the black cubes he created from them

hasty quarry
#

That is starting to wind my short term memory while playing white door, like why does Dale need those memories of Bob?

violet dagger
#

Someone actually suggested it wad rvwnge

#

Revenge

#

But why wait until 1893

#

Why not before

wild root
#

Maybe he disliked the fact that they were also being of higher knowledge

#

we dont know

violet dagger
#

They werent though

#

I think

wild root
#

they were

#

i think

hasty quarry
#

That can be a benifactor of like, acting all higher knowing though, but we really are in the dark.

violet dagger
#

Yes

hasty quarry
#

Or....... Maybe jealous of Caroline's spiritual readings?

violet dagger
#

Maybe

#

But again why wai

#

Wait

wild root
#

You should stop this question

#

you will not find an answer yet

violet dagger
#

Ok

hasty quarry
#

peels back all the roots and fast forward.

violet dagger
#

Maybe we missed somthing in a game or just forgot that can actually help the story

#

The chances are low buf still maybe

hasty quarry
#

Even if we really unraveled why Roots did occur, in that order, instead of searching for the clues of numberous magic, then why the effort of trying to find the golden coins, even though they only lead us with an ending that is sour?

violet dagger
#

Idk

hasty quarry
#

Why the ending with Paradox did not suit up with The White Door's ties in, until day question?

violet dagger
#

Maybe tommorow we will find an asnwer to something

#

Probably not

#

But if the secret was that hyped

hasty quarry
#

I am too intelligent for the internet, my ship needs me.

violet dagger
#

So maybe

hasty quarry
#

I am going to leave here in a minute or two, I have to finish up a few things here and there, nice talking with everyone.

wild root
#

yeah, it was an interesting conversation.

violet dagger
#

Yeah

hasty quarry
#

Good to meet you both, Cerberus and potiryan.

toxic sand
#

are the characters in hotel really reincarnations of the eilanders?

#

(mr rabbit being david, etc.)

ivory jackal
#

I'm calling the number but no answer :с

simple rain
#

i'm pretty sure, chris. they have the same faces and their actions in hotel seem to parallel things

violet dagger
#

They are the reicarnation of the people in rl paradise

#

The people with thr masks of animals

hidden ledge
#

At the end of paradise they transform into the animals. If they were reincarnations mr Owl woudn't want revange

hollow raptor
#

we do not see them transform tho
we only see mr owl transform

hidden ledge
#

I'm pretty sure they transformed becouse they speak with animal voices and they can't transform back into humans and mr owl speaks like a human and can transform

vivid marten
#

also they dont seem to remember or at least suspect anything of mr owl or each other, so maybe their memories were taken by the lake?

hidden ledge
#

they didn't met mr owl

vivid marten
#

there is a huge portrait of him in the lobby

#

if they had memories from their human lives and therefore could comprehend that they had been transformed into the same animal as their masks, it wouldnt be a big logical leap to connect mr owl to jakob

crystal verge
#

caroline was also an owl

vivid marten
#

^

#

that too

#

like as humans they'd be aware of an owl representing caroline (and therefore perhaps jakob) but as animals they dont make that connection

crystal verge
#

I feel like the animal heads can't be the eilanders because they all had different careers. pigeon was a scientist and deer a researcher

#

actually those are pretty much the same job now that I think of it

small karma
#

oh

#

so

#

probs spoiler

#

i don't know where to write that

crystal verge
#

I feel like they are definitely reincarnations/remind him of his old family
