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.

  Dave,

Good on you for fingering these. I'll respond about this tonight.

> IGJ p. 194:

> changed at all. And even Fava had changed only subtly, for she had 
> always seemed an apple-cheeked child just short of puberty, with
> long, light brown hair and a winning smile."

> *Hair color:* light brown. *Special circumstances:* very dim lighting 
> would make colors hard to see.

> RttW p. 85:
> He turned and saw Spider...in conversation with small girls in 
> starched frocks...
>
> He asked politely how he could find Hyacinth.

> "Down there," the blond girl pointed. "She's down there like Spider

>
> The dark girl nodded. "Down there where you're going, and she can't 
> ever come back.
> Take a cake for the dog."
>
> *Hair color:* blond *Special circumstances: *dream on the Whorl, 
> before he met Mora and Fava in real life.
> Is this a time-travel dream projection? I think so. The conversation 
> indicates Fava and Hyacinth are both dead.

> RttW pp. 23-26
> "A little girl named Mora, and another one..."

> "There was a little girl hiding under there already. At first I

> ...
> "Then I thought it was the other one, Mora. Only it wasn't her either."

> *Hair color:* yellow. *Special circumstances:* this is Hide's dream. 
> Hide is not as smart or observant as Silk.

> RttW pp. 94-95.
