what have I got in my pocket?

West Side Story It's been a while since I last mapped the university, the real world has made tinfoil redundant and so at 2/3 done, I put down my pencil. Pat would approve of that. But it occurs to me that there is one small corner left unexplored, a quiet corner where I might find the inspiration to pick it up again... you can probably picture Applecourt quite well already, and it would make a simple square map to draw it, but every map needs a compass, and Pat doesn't disappoint. His Sun also rises in the East and sets in the west, so when Kvothe first takes us there after lessons and before his evening work at the fishery, we know that the sun is now setting in the West. '...when the sun slipped out from behind the clouds. Golden light covered the rooftop spilling over the edge of the roof into a thin slice of the courtyard below.' when this sudden bright light scared Auri into hiding she was in the sunlit slice of the square at the time, by the Easternmost wall. ...

String3~Lanre No Particular Colour. Another tripod. Lanre= Haliax = TTG  Information about the chandrian is virtually non-existent. An amateur Vintish historian’s two hundred year old work A Quainte Compendium of Folke Belief is the best that Kvothe finds, a hand-written octavo which shows us that it has not been tampered with. It is probably the source of Kote’s song about the white riders from in the second book, but of the Chaendrian the authors extensive research reveals nothing. It is interesting though that his most earnest rebuttal of folk revealing anything chandrian came at the Towne of Hillesborrow, which sounds awfully similar to Borrorill if you think about it. Hmmm… His lack of findings has a parallel with Alveron’s fruitless searching for the Amyr, and Denna’s research into Lanre. There is nothing written anywhere in any book about matters this secret and ancient. Their combined search results tell us that Kvothe should give up on his own efforts because others have l...

Pea Soup 9/10ths of the Law Possession is all about control. We know that skin dancers exist, we see people manipulated, we see people mastered by others, we even have an exorcism. Now I’m no priest, I’m more tubular in my appreciation of Bell, Book and Candle, but we do need to try and understand a bit about possession. It appears to be all about naming and name changing, binding and unbinding. Even though I can’t see the way yet myself, I’ll have a go and see what comes out the other end. Pea soup probably. VII Elodin insists that there are Seven words that will make a person love you, and Ten words that will break a strong mans’s will. If this is true then this is actually possession. It is making somebody else do something, no matter how long it lasts for, directly through the power of your will, your words and the lethani. You might think that saying seven words to make somebody love you is a sweet and lovely thing but it is not. Its possession. It is exerting your will upon anoth...

String Theory Interlude ~ String Theory A normal string tapestry is created from Warp and Weft, and by the standard design, it would usually be square. But this Tapestree is round as a wheel, and it wants to turn. A wheel has its warp spokes radiating from the hub and an iron rim, but to connect them all together in this story, the weft needs to thread itself between the spokes, under and over in one long continuously concentric spiralling string circle, passing through all the other string spokes or Warps in turn. It will run from the outer rim to the inner hub where all things get knotted. The string weft that is ‘The road to Tinuë’ could be thought of in the same way the Faen realm is described elsewhere, as a series of tracks on one side of an LP record, and there is a pin in the centre where the run off groove fails and thus where all the songs end. This is like the hub of the wheel where the friction is the hottest. In the Fae this it is where to...

Retell Skarpi 2 via old cob. Every third paragraph is fact. Finish with Lanre donning his black armour and marching out the gates of Belen to walk the road to his doom. God had a daughter and he called her Lyra was the queen of an ancient city. She married the captain of her guard and their love was deep and long. But Lyra had a secret that she never told, she wasn't really a human but one of the Fae in disguise. As such she had magical powers and could kill a man just by speaking their name. But she only used her powers to do good because not all faeries are evil. Some of the bad faeries saw her as their enemy and attacked her castle with an army of monsters but her husband's silver sword kept them all at bay. Finally the end level boss stepped forward to face him and her gallant king fought but superbly could never defeat until one day he saw an opening and sacrificed himself so that his people might live.  As his sword pierced the creatures black heart so did it's jaws b...
