And Mouse pretty much told me the broken heart was Adrastus... And I think King might be gone now.

Brass... It mentioned that twice. And strings. Painted ones. And names figure into it somehow.

And it and Siran both mentioned drowning... I really think we shouldn't try to push things together though. Lets wait for more stuff to surface and see what happens. Oh, and I'll see if it wants to paint with me.

This sounds crazy, but I'm sort of wondering if Adrastus and King are linked somehow.

Brass like an instrument. The dog keeps mentioning to feel the beat. It's almost as if he wants to turn the City into a bad musical.

Yeah. Might be best to wait. Be careful about the painting though Lyra.

(ooc: Stan's being sarcastic about the musical thing. He has absolutely no idea about the curse tomorrow.))

Really? I don't think so. I mean, I know the deities en't on our side, but they haven't said anything about that.

Or it's some sort of metaphor. It's mentioned strings to. But not puppet strings.

We'll never get anywhere if we don't take risks.

This place is full of metaphors. Shit, the deities kind of remind me of the cult leaders at Silent Hill (only more annoying, and more powerful.)

Yes, we do need to take risks. That I can agree with. I wonder if I have any "paints" I can use.

...Was this dog once human, then? Adastrus was once a king of Thebes, chased out of his own of his own kingdom by his daughters, who he married.

I doubt it. I think it came from the same source as the deities.

The meaning of the name 'one who stands his ground'... We think that might be important though.

...Then unlikely that has a tie to the Illiad?

Perhaps since three of four gods... something must be out of synch? I haven't been here not even for a week to know.

I doubt it. I think we shouldn't take anything too literally.

Yeah... Somethings wrong, but we don't know what.

Almost sounds as if Adrastus' beef is with the three remaining deities, and not us citizens. I've noticed that way it demands things of them.

[watchmakergod]

There was in the City a woman by the name of Dorian who bartered in memories, by the Fountain.

She was Siran's pet, and Maemi killed her in a fit of pique.

Dorian Gray was a man who sought immortality through brushwork--namely, a painting of himself.

The Dorian mode is one of the seven diatonic scales recognized by the Greeks and their descendants alike, though the scale it described changed when medieval musicians adopted it from their predecessors--an error in translation.

Do we know what happened to the woman Dorian's heart?

[stancoleman]

Hmm I remember her. I never dealt with her though. Interesting how Siran seems to like the dog while Maemi despises it. More so than other things I'd wager.

Actually none of us know what happened to her heart.

Could this Adrastus be Dorian?

[watchmakergod]

That Siran does not claim it as her own speaks against that theory.

However, it's not impossible that something essential within the creature is from Dorian.

I will continue to watch.

[stancoleman]

You do that.
