JOHN TITOR MENTIONED YOOO

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Wapaloosies are Critters.

They most likely survived since they are arcane creatures.

I'm imagining Vertin catching these agile little things. On a separate note, Vertin lost her friends in the Storm before she met Regulus. A failed experiment. I wonder if we'll ever have this story explored further?

I'll do my crying in the rain.

The Spinning Wheel and Suitcase

So silly post about Vertin's name has me rethinking early game stuff (yippee)

Thinking about how the disk wasnt probably talking to the player but Vertin about her name.

Then.

What about the line when you first spin the wheel? Something along the lines of "spin the wheel as you have done many times before"

Again maybe we all assume its the player in a meta sense they are referring to but I lean towards the voice is asking to Vertin (again someone talking to her not an in-game instruction)

What do you mean "as you have done before", I mean Vertin does imply prior to the Prologue she never went outside of the lobby area to the Wilderness until then, probably even less time inside of the suitcase since she mentions she had to discover its capabilities over time and still is.

People already have theorised the multiple timelines stuff but I wont rehash here - the main thing Im looking at is the "again". Does that mean Vertin has spun the wheel before? Shes not seem entirely familiar with it when we see it in the Prologue.

Again who was the original owner of the suitcase? The Foundation wanting to test it in Book 4 shows they did not necessarily create it. If Vertin was given it then the Foundation at least knew the role of Timekeeper needed this suitcase for whatever reason. Was it her mother? The incantation is in Esperanto so maybe?

(You think sometimes Vertin spins the wheel in hope someone reversed may show up?)

(Its also interesting she is the only one immune to the water's effects, and the water is implied to have properties of the Storm - probably the only true place Vertin can be alone in)

Im running with the assumption its her mother's and maybe it was agreed since the Foundation probably had contact with her mother (I mean Vertin was found there) that Vertin when she was "ready" (Breakaway Incident "ready") she would receive the suitcase and be given the incantation.

I MET HER, I FOUND HER, FRIENDS OMG SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL SO COOL SO STRONG SO PERFECT SO SLAY

she's so confident and SHE'S MARVELOUS

her, her athletic clothes, her PC and the stickers on it >>>>>>>>>>>>> world

I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER GOUOFOYIYCYIHIGKX 🛐🛐🛐🛐❤️‍🔥🔥💥

can you tell who captivated me who my favourite character is

so let's say you want to write Vertin x Regulus (if so, pls link me your works) but have a hard time trying to describe their relationship, as it falls in a weird middle point between platonic and romantic

here's some ways you can do it:

-"girls who went to see the red sea together and came back closer to each other but also SO mad that the sea was blue like all the others"

-"what happens in the couch, stays in the couch"

-"bugs bunny and daffy duck in the looney tunes show (2011)"

-"britain's most wanted"

-"Wallace & Gromit"

-"two russians kissing each other before one hits the other in the back with a chair"

-"they found their second home in each other's lap"

-"the amount of stupid bets they do that end up with the loser having to dress in something like a maid suit, or a bunny suit, or like a milkmaid, etc., is becoming concerning for those around them"

Regulus Has More Depth than it Seems

Ever since I started playing Reverse 1999, Regulus has been portrayed as Vertin's energetic friend, pirate rocker, maybe with ADHD, and overall fun gal. I didn't pay attention to her much, but after watching her anecdote, I realized that there were many things that I glossed over about her.

During Regulus' anecdote, I saw this line. That means Regulus was old enough to remember her mother's demeanor towards her or what her mother was like.

Regulus is a street kid who was practically raised by Mr. APPle. Broadcasting music illegally in her pirate ship, she has gotten trouble in the side of the law several times.

Although she never went to school, she is very bright (knowing mechanical know-hows in Laplace and doing Math in Apeiron).

It pains me that Regulus can sometimes be reduced to a comedy gag by the fandom. She might be seriously funny and memetic but she is also profoundly devoted to Vertin and a sweetheart. She was the first one Vertin saved in the suitcase after all!

This was brought to my attention when I saw a line during her anecdote. The mayor of Gold Dust (who was part of the Order of Enlightenment) wanted to invite Regulus to a worship for the Sufferer (Arcana) and Regulus expressed contempt for that:

This line means that Regulus knows about Vertin's past! This means that Vertin must have been comfortable enough to open up to her regarding the Breakaway incident that happened during Chapter 3.

She was also first to hug Vertin when she came back and cried bitterly from being separated from her.

When Regulus joined Vertin for the first time, Vertin was worried that she might feel burdened or restricted going with her. Then Regulus says this:

She was sweet in the beginning and she had been a loyal partner to Vertin ever since. I know that for sure since she went to prison multiple times already for her. She never gave up on Vertin and never stopped trying when the Foundation kept her unconcious.
