Jokes on you, the main reason im back on my idv bullshit is BECAUSE of your ocs (aka staff (pls tell us more about them👀))

OOH okay staff is a curious curious thing to unpack, and actually the first idv oc I made ! so you're in for a treat

when I played ashes of a memory I noticed the presence of servants outside of people directly employed for matches (such as burke and bane)--and obviously someone has to be making these very person specific dishes for everyone when they all dine together, and I highly doubt orpheus is doing it, and I also doubt the butler is playing at being a one man show. which means ! there are manor staff, people who may or may not be privy to what's happening??

and then I got the idea of the house itself also being in on the games, that the house is also its own limbo and it too has a say in what happens, and perhaps the servants are simply a manifestation of the house itself, like a tulpa and a thrall 2 in 1

so staff is a manor servant, not a real human, but simply a familiar, a manifestation of the house that both is the house and serves the house at the same time. they are part of the house and the house is linked to them, as such they have flawless navigation of the manor. they can traverse the ever shifting halls and rooms and even move through the material of the house when no one is looking, they are in all dark corners and inhabit all surfaces, they are the stairs and the doors and the walls, they are the ceiling and the floor and all the pipes and wires weaving through everything. to their knowledge they are the only staff member that is self aware and by proxy have distanced themselves from humanity in various ways

they don't eat, they don't sleep, their body is mutable and can be dissolved into darkness. as a homunculus of the house they have deemed themselves inhuman and insignificant and therefore don't need a name--hence why the only name luca has to call them is staff. because that's all they see themselves as--just staff, some thing that is faceless at a distance and barely any different from the walls

they don't have a strict role in the house, they are a man of many odd jobs, a spare set of hands for whatever needs to be done, they refuse to acknowledge having a personality or identity but take great interest in watching everyone else, and most are too preoccupied to notice a pair of hollow and deadpan eyes observing what's happening

luckily or unluckily depending on how you look at it, luca has been very curious about the people employed by the manor and why they allow such things to happen, and once he finds out that staff is essentially a construct he takes great interest in how much they know about the games and also how their physiology works. to put it politely, luca is a machinefucker and now that staff has piqued his fancy he has also become a housefucker too, that man will stick his dick in any intricate object that makes his heart beat fast and that includes the supernatural House Thing that expresses very little and sometimes sounds like its speaking inside his head when it talks

staff would like to deny any traces of humanity in them as much as possible and express as much apathy as they can but frankly luca is determined to explore who they are whether they like it or not, they're both very very stubborn so it's a battle of immovable object vs unstoppable force and either find themselves in snide arguments or asking way too many personal questions

one of my ocs would love these occult parties and just go with it

the other would probably find herself thrown in there against her will... (her hunter form would probably kill everyone who touched/tried to touch her that night)

I'd love to know more about these two if you're willing to elaborate, after all, I'm sure historian would have a blast with anyone willing to get silly with em at an occult party ‼️is your first oc avidly into this kind of thing or are they like, just chill with all manner of crazy shit n so they're ready to fuck it we ball with anything 👁️?

I'm also curious as to who would be the one to drag your second oc to the party 🤔 is it perhaps the first oc or is there another person at play? also what's her hunter form like? why is she so skittish and adverse to such an occasion? I have soooo many questions please tell me more omg :D

[death-in-a-handbasket]

OH LMAO ok by competitive i mean someone who's trying to challenge them to things, like "i bet i can beat you in chess. twice. in under five minutes, both times." or "wanna bet about who wins this upcoming match? i'll bet you $500 and the finest bottle of gin i have! cmon, win or lose, let's have a little fun! you're not chicken, right?"

bc i have an oc who would definitely say that just to get someone to play games with her...

sorry if this is a really stupid rq

OHHHH I see I see :D

yeah historian doesn't really swing that way, they only get a little competitive over stuff they're super into, otherwise they don't really like to play around with money and they don't like getting into competitions they don't feel sure of themselves in, they'll have to politely pass

otherwise sans betting and competing, historian really does like playing games and would probably be chill to hang out and play a few rounds of senet 🤌

also dear sweet anon there are no stupid asks here, everything in my inbox has meaning to me and I love talking shop with ocs and how they'd fool around with each other, trust my confessional is always open and that I delight in your conversation

[death-in-a-handbasket]

and uhhh. um

ok this is a crack theory but hear me out

in my week spent of blorbo research I noticed some things that could be pretty damn compelling frankly, like is this absurd and also an excuse to toss my faves at each other? yes. BUT it could hold water so strap in. what if galatea met philippe?

the idea first came to mind after I saw this deduction from philippe's page

I always thought this phrase was just something christina said in passing and that philippe was simply feeling the murder spree impulse while looking at the asylum patients and took their agonies as inspo to wax coat people. HOWEVER. that asylum could very well have been white sands, and you know which other manic artist was being held there? fucking galatea ���️and as y'all saw in lily's trailer she obviously doesn't mind shelling out a tasty bit of advice to people. in essence, I wonder if either he met her and she told him that phrase and gave him some advice on going homicidal OR he saw the aftermath of her killing the nurse and the inspiration he received was from her work

additionally, there is this letter from galatea's page with no recipient specified but it is addressed to a man and speaks of a collection

now this could be her speaking of the statues in manor, but what if she got to be witness to philippe's model collection and is encouraging him to wax coat people rather than simply producing replicas, perhaps the line about "containers for muse's masterpieces" could be referring to "containing" people in wax. however this letter is fairly vague and really could be alluding more to the functional puzzle aspect of the statues in the manor or the theory about her making the game 0 players into sculptures but honestly who knows

finally, and yes this is a stretch, but this line also from one of galatea's letters strikes me as curious as we don't know what parties she's referring to when she says this

this line could potentially be speaking about the members of game zero, possibly ada and emil. But I think it would be fascinating if the imprisoned puppet was christina--both in the sense that she's a corpse trapped in wax and also that she was sequestered at home while philippe was traveling, and the slave who self proclaimed to be noble was philippe--a workaholic thinking that he's on a path of righteousness with his findings. this letter is quite abstract though and could have a myriad of meanings depending on who you're reading it mind for

now this is definitely the most crack part of my theory. there's two things that make me raise my eyebrow. we never quite get detailed on how philippe acquires his invite, nor the circumstances in which galatea was released from white sands. what if, and hear me out here, philippe was responsible for jailbreaking/getting her discharged, she attends game 0, survives, and pays it forwards by getting him invited for game 2. crazy ass shit I know BUT LISTEN. I feel like they'd be able to have a meeting of the minds and frankly I want to see it happen. they'd make THE most unhinged art pieces ever and I love that for them but also their mutual egos would explode the room amen

idk if anyone else has put this theory together and I'm just late to the party but I haven't seen a post on it and the wiki doesn't note any theories in this vein 🤔 also philippe's tag has dick all for posts in it besides me so might as well do my sacred duty of throwing some weird shit in there to freshen up the tag
