Babbiehorn?: Was: a sincere question mostly for roy

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.

Is she?  Mucor, Pike and Oreb appear at roughly the same time and place, but no one of them is actually ?with? any other.
Silk wakes up and sees Oreb hop out the window.  Then he sees Mucor by his bed.  Mucor vanishes.  He goes down and interrogates Oreb, who denies being there, although Silk doesn?t believe him.  [Silk thinks Oreb was frightened by Mucor and jumped out the windows, dropping down to the kitchen window below.  We aren?t told whether this is what happened or not, but it?s at least possible.]  Silk hears noises upstairs again and goes up.  This time he sees Pike?s ghost.  He recognises ?the aged augur? as Pike.  No staves or missing eyes are mentioned.  No bird is present.
Pike is wearing a blue-trimmed calot hat ? does the Rajan wear such a thing?
I don?t know where Pike?s ghost comes from.  But I am unconvinced that he is Silk from the future.  Does Pike look like Silk?  He should look like Blood, if anyone.
