This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

"We've a Fechin here that shows three girls dressing another one with 
flowers that's so real you expect the bees to come out of it."
~ Shadow of the Torturer

Nicolai Ivanovich Fechin was an actual early 20th century painter. He's 
classified as an Impressionist. But the color and detail of many of his 
paintings are nearly photorealistic, and the eye-popping color often 
gives the sense of three-dimensional depth.

I have a theory that red-hair in the Sun Cycle is an intentional 
association with Typhon in some way. Red-hair is signifier of being a 
werewolf, and the red-haired sacrificial victims in the Osiris cult were 
called "Typhonians".
