Hmm… How about:
D = Edith’s Theme
L = Your secret is safe
G = Snape and Lily’s Theme
O = Ezio’s family
K = Valley of the Blinding Mist

Snape and lily - G cuz it’s angsty
Ezio’s fam - O cuz its melancholy but hopeful
Blinding mist - L cuz it’s soft and curious
Your secret’s safe - D because it has slow soft moments and bigger crescendos, tumultuous
Edith’s theme - K, just process of elimination on that one. It is mysterious, so is K at this point.

A cryptic clue - Each of you got two right. Together you got three right. Neither of you got O right :wink:

Working on some Winter today: The Seduction - YouTube
“Had you for a moment there, didn’t I?”

Hope everyone’s having a good week :slight_smile: xxx

G - Edith’s theme. Why? It just give me the melancholic, heartbreaking feeling of him going to the graveyard to visit his family and it’s just :broken_heart:
L - Your Secret is Safe. It starts quiet and soft, almost delicate, just like L is, but then it has that crescendo near the end that it just makes me think of them and their relationship. Still maintaining the intimate feel I get from their romance.
O - Snape and Lily’s theme. It’s dark and… not heavy, but it has a weight to it that makes me think of O and how they suppress themselves. All with a hidden intensity you can sense in the softer notes of the song, that silent underlying of emotions.
D - Ezio’s family. It just… makes me think of them!
K - Blinding Mist. It gives me mysterious thoughts, just like K is :slight_smile:

I don’t think this is right at all but going by your clues and my insistence on L’s song:

G = Snape and Lily
L = Your secret is safe
K = Edith’s Theme
D = Ezio’s Family
O = Valley of the Blinding Mist

Welp. I made the mistake of catching up on my Facebook and accidentally spoiled myself with the answers XD

Interesting is that not a single one of us anywhere got Kyra(n)'s exciting one right. But makes sense, how little we know of them!
Kinda like Oriana/Orion that only 1 out of 6 people guessed correctly…

I actually thought your guess was pretty good! And Ezio’s Theme fits my view of O SO well!

Do you mind pming/linking me the answers?

Yeah, well, many of us made that mistake in “understanding” O :sweat_smile:

These are my answers, but I really like how everyone sees them differently. I hope the upcoming developments in all these relationships will be fun to discover :slight_smile:

G = Snape and Lily
O = Your secret is safe
D = Edith’s Theme
K = Ezio’s Family
L = Valley of the Blinding Mist

You said that in such a lovely way.

I can imagine that you know the characters in a way we don’t (yet) which is why we pick different songs. Anyway, looking forward to more :purple_heart:

@Jender Happy Birthday! As promised, a sneak peek of Jen the Landlord.

This is a snippet from a possible scene in Day 3. I hope it’s intriguing. Each of the five landlords will have their own side-story, should you choose to explore it. Prioritising the many different offers and mysteries that come your way is the main challenge of Lux, but if you do opt to spend some time getting to know a landlord - you might get something like this :slight_smile:

(NB: All screen grabs and sneak peeks are subject to change in the final version. This is only a first draft, so apologies for any typos as well!)

Ah, not cool… I thought at first you were talking about a release date ^^.

Why do people love Winter? He is interesting but he is also a lier, a cheater and a traitor… How Can you trust him?
Yeah, he is also charismatic.

I give more detailed reasons on this around post 210, but in short it’s because Winter is, as you said, charismatic, also seemingly very confident, mysterious and dangerous, which I personally find interesting in fiction (not so much in real life), plus I’ve always liked villains.

Also seems a bit unfair to call Winter a cheater, don’t remember them cheating, but liar and traitor, yes. And I definitely don’t trust them, not in Sordwin and not going into Lux, and unless something really big happens I’ll probably continue to not trust them.

He is a shapshifter who probably see mc and L make out in the house during the faceless attack. He cheated.
