Power is a potent cocktail.
Midst is an audio drama in which three mischievous narrators spin a surreal, reality-bending, sci-fantasy space western about a crotchety outlaw, a struggling cultist, and a diabolical bastard making awful decisions in a world on the edge of disaster.

That giant throne of Weepe's really giving me Warhammer 40K vibes. Surely something like that won't backfire on him, right? Also, Weepe essentially kick Spahr out of his own home sounds like something he would do.

@fkaliases Ай бұрын

Don't even know why, but I can't help but think Imelda is behind the moon blowing up, or at least somehow involved. Ever since she took up post on Midst, when we were introduced to her, things have been going way too smooth for her, she even budgeted for the Weepe thing. Not to mention she effectively set up the whole Cabaret situation which lead to Jonas Spar getting ousted from his position... There are missing pieces here.

My mind keeps drifting back to Atticus Concord. I kept wondering if he was just a tertiary character. If that whole situation was just a means of introducing Weepe. But this episode has me wondering again. And what of his sister poking around?

@marciobonilla3914 Ай бұрын

My theory was for a bit that Weepe is Maximilian Loxly, and the fold poisoning is from being tossed into the vat that Lark tossed his “dead” body into. The fold is apparently capable of wild things; why couldn’t it bring someone back from the dead. Now he’s executing his vengeance and his grand plan. Buuuuut the narrators said he doesn’t know Lark, so now I don’t know.

@Joel-bz7kt Ай бұрын

@jeremyfoote2592 Ай бұрын

They said he doesn't know Lark... did they say he doesn't know *Clara Myer*? After all, it was decades ago... I do think there would be a few moments they played differently if he was ML. However, it's possible that the process scrambled his memory?

@GasmaskBlacky Ай бұрын

The theme of the light bulbs being mentioned all over the place is kinda making me suspicious. First we got Lark's backstory involving her mom dying in a lightbulb factory, then we get a thread of connection to Weepe's backstory also including light bulbs messing him up. Also the narrators specifically pointing out how the room is lit by un-safe lightbulbs.

So if his blood was being sold by the post office under the counter and shipped to anyone with an undisclosed need for it (like Lark), where's it going now? Theoretically, the Fold in his blood is multiplying even faster now, so it all needs to be stored or disposed of somewhere. My guess is that Imelda's siphoning it off somewhere and keeping it in her back pocket for some kind of plan should things go south.

@Landis963 Ай бұрын

It truly warms my heart to see Imelda doing so well, and King Triangles Weepe being ever so grateful to the woman who put him in his position. Mainly because, you know what they say. The higher the heights, the harder the fall. And their plan, oh my, their plan! Scapegoating all the Trust's evil onto one woman, and then killing her in the most Valorous manner possible, simply to make that evil disappear. Well, there's a slight problem with this reverse virgin sacrifice. Several, actually, but most pertinently to their hopes of a magic bullet - their intended scapegoat isn't quite as dirty as they think she is.

"The vestments are doing to good work" lol They moved him into the consector's mansion?! I'm intrigued by the narrative implications. Squozen? Pfft His machine makes me think of the machine in the vault. Is he intentionally trying to stir up stuff by throwing out that "Arch notary" thing? Weepe lore dump? Weepe lore dump! ...of course that's all we'd get in a Weepe lore dump. Oh yes. Every society that depends on literal human sacrifice is destined to prosper. Ah taking it upon yourself to debit someone according to your own irritation. Much like Imelda making up credits to bump up Weepe's initial purchase. Truly these notaries are the ideal of trust society. How can it fall when upheld by such strong pillars? Weepe offloading his junk is hilarious. I kind of suspect that he's subtly showing his true opinion on them. Return of the nutcracker. :D

@kp6378 Ай бұрын

I hope Weepe makes Penny or Gert the Arch-Notary while giving Imelda a more prestigious but less important position. It would be a great way to undermine the significantly more dangerous Imelda while getting an assistant who actually is willing to break from the group occasionally.

@Landis963 Ай бұрын

Not if he's planning to keep her close so he can just kill her. After all, with enough Valor you can get away with murder. And if anyone can afford a murder, it is Moc Weepe.
