Are the ceremonies every 12 years?
Tachyon, a couple of years older than Bree, went on the run young when her sister was tapped for the ceremony. The spacing may work. 12 may be a mystic number for the order.
Side note: I've seen talk of the top right glyph containing Lamda tilted. I do not think the character is adjusted. I think that, since we were told that the watcher symbol comes from 2 languages then we may find these other glyphs to be compounds from different alphabets. |
sorry i've been gone, guys! :-p pick the days i have a kanji quiz and a pepr due to solve this all why don'tcha?? :-p
12 is a special number in many cultures (though not as special and common as 7 and 3). 12 months for our year, etc.
the chinese zodiac cycles every 12 years as well. _________________ A watching_watchers-certified POST WHORE! |

Wait, wasn't Bree supposed to be 15, thus her YT name?
Either way, it doesn't really matter... what about the greek stuff? Looking at all those letters makes me feel like I'm walking down frat row... or through the campus center while the frats and sororities are doing their tabling... _________________ A trickster god with a modern twist.

No, she's 17. She was 16 when the series started and turned 17 on Oct. 26. We have no idea why she chose the screenname she picked. |

I am playing around with the pics in photoshop and getting nothing. This so reminds me of those ciw pics where they had to be photoshopped to death. Anyway, someone more skilled may have better luck.
PS been lurking along for a while here but haven't been too vocal since ciw stole my soul! |

Ha, but I really have to go with Tigerlilylynn in saying that that's not a Lambda, but in fact "Gemil," the phoenician precursor to "Gamma." _________________ Hey! That was my lucky assassin hat! |

Lost sort of makes sense if you watch from the beginning.
Sorry that was horrible... |
