The Angry Sheperd, l'auberge des malfrats, sur Concrete Jungle
Vous êtes cordialement invité·e·s par @rollinginthedeep-swan et moi-même à venir installer vos personnages les plus grigous et scélérats au Angry Sheperd. Imaginez une auberge pour les grands vilains, le mélange incongru entre l'hôtel Continental dans John Wick et une taverne victorienne... Refuge de la lie et des bandits de passage, terrain neutre où s'échangent les bonnes (et mauvaises) adresses, le bar est poisseux de whiskey, les ex voto accrochés aux murs semblent juger les crimes commis, peut-être commencerez-vous une partie de fléchettes avec des faussaires ou des tueuses en cavale...
Votre personnage y croisera assurément Walter ou Alexandria, les maîtres de l'auberge, et peut-être se liera-t-il d'amitié avec les autres forbans locaux 👀
Pour résumer, si vous aimez les city sombre et que vous cherchez un endroit où installer votre personnage sans prendre un pl ou un scénario, on sera plus que ravies de vous réceptionner au Angry Sheperd. Les clients sont dorlotés (non c'est faux), les chambres sont un tantinet miteuses, mais vous ne risquerez pas de vous ennuyer ♡

*cracks knuckles and neck* Alright, time to get back in the game.
Okay, so we got the band member’s deletion of Instagram. Every five days, a member deleted their posts (except Jolly, but he probably got thrown off because of the change in timezones and it took Noah beating him over the head with his ugly slides to remind him to do it). So five days from Jolly’s SUPPOSED deletion date, we got the band’s Instagram wipe. Oh, and the website with their CUSTOM 404 ERROR MESSAGE. Not the typical Error 404 Site Not Found message. So that’s proof that this isn’t the usual “They’re deleting everything because some of their fans have gone way too far” like some people are accusing us of.
So moving on to today… *takes a drag of a cigarette and exhales loudly* It’s been years since I’ve had to deal with an alternate reality game…
So the Poppy video. The V.A.N video. The whatever you want to call it video. What the fuck is V.A.N?
It’s not the band’s AI. That’s M.I.N.D., the best character of the comics, easily (besides Jolly’s bathrobe, but I digress). M.I.N.D. stands for Meta Index Native Database in the comics (or Memory Induction via Neural Data in the Just Pretend music video).
Though it could be argued that M.I.N.D. is not DIRECTLY under the employment of the Bad Omens, because the Rule Maker is aware of M.I.N.D., as shown in the first page of CONCRETE JUNGLE: THE GREY.
But in CONCRETE JUNGLE: ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE, Noah does mention having a new phone, called the VAN i2. He pairs its system with the car’s, essentially loading M.I.N.D. into the car’s computer. MR92381 is either the VAN i2, or M.I.N.D. before being paired.
So there’s the comics. Let’s go to the website now.
It’s no longer the custom 404 message. It now says “V.A.N HAS TAK3N OVER ACCESS OF THIS SITE”
So why is the “E” in “TAKEN” a “3”? None of the other “E”s are “3”s. Is something happening in 3 days? At the time of this theory post, it’s still the 21st of January, so that would put something happening on the 24th, which doesn’t match up with their “every five days” routine.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU COOKING, YOU TRENT REZNOR WANNABE.
