Since Creation is the first Artifact, my guess is that the Mountain Folk are the First Beings. Cytherea created all the other Primordials. They decided they needed a sandbox in which to play. So they all worked together to create the Stability Engine that is Creation. However, it needed custodians and mechanics to keep it running. So, Cytherea gathered weaker Nobles of the Raksha, Autocthon built them bodies of stone, and She Who Lives in Her Name bound them to their purpose.

Eh? Eh?
I'm more inclined to think that Cytherea spawned Gaia (Creation) and Autocthon, and like good brother and sister, they err, ahem. Enacted a series of events that would leave the Primordials unnecessary.

She Who Lives in Her Name is about Order, which is not always stability.

I've noticed the amount of foresight shown by Gaia and Autocthon seems to be incredible. Autocthon took just the souls he needed with him so he would have a chance at waking in time for seeing the Solars (and thus, those that could slay him) at their weakest once again, and Gaia's preservation of the captured Primordials effectively secured the eventual release of the Solars.

I highly doubt such planning is beyond them.

The phone call is coming from *inside the house!*

The butler did it.
. . . well, the butler, and Cthulhu.
Cthulhu did most of the butchery.
But the butler let him in.
And held his knife.
And dusted him off afterwards
To help him disguise himself as the Christmas Tree.

He's actually . . . Luke's *father*.
But more astonishingly
Luke is *his*.
In episode three Luke warps too fast around the sun
Due to a problem with communication
And winds up in the past.
He builds two robots
And saves some whales
And has sex.
That's why almost a quarter of his genes are an exact match with his own.
Remember, kids!
Midichlorians measure inbreeding!

The Iron Giant is friendly.
He loves people.
In fact, he loves them too much.
Just like Big Bird.

The owls are not what they seem.
They are luxury sedans with smooth, precise shifting,
High engine rev,
And dynamic performance.
See?
It's a funky show.

Star Trek is based on the true story
Of Rasputin
And his faithful half-Vulcan companion,
Ivan.

What is the Matrix?
A tissue of false fate
Woven in the Wyld.

Sing, oh muse, of the wrath of Achilles
Sing, oh muse, of the birth of Ganesha
And of Iron John
And of that place
East of the sun, west of the moon.
And of all the old stories
Told by the Wyld
Before they were e'er told by men.

Superman comes back to life
Again
Later on.
Only now,
He's radioactive.

At times, *I* think she has to have some damned good drugs, and despite I've never so much as smoked a cigarette in my life, I'd do whatever she's on.

Re: Exalted: The Fair Folk - Official Teaser Thread

Drugs, or Computer Science? You deicide which makes a person more loopy.

Okay, let me try to make some guesses.

Okay - The bulter did it:
Seems to imply a murder, or some other sort of crime.
Cthulhu indicates it involves a Primordial, and there was complicity
on the part of one of the gods. The Great Curse?

Time Travelling Jedi:
No clue.

Iron Giant = Autocthon
Big Bird = Gaia?

Owls:
Dr. Borgstrom refers to these owls as machines. Possibly Alchs.
However, owls brings to mind the OWLs from Harry Potter. Sids?

Rasputin: Clueless

Matrix: View of creation held by the Rakshas.
False fate? The Wyld isn't supposed to work this way, yet Creation forces it to.

Sing:
Mention of heroic characters and their birth: Myth?
What's happening in Creation has happened before in the Wyld, albeit in a different form.

Superman: Clue dewa arimasen. But it's creepy.

Computer science. We don't need drugs to be loopy, we just need problem definitions and Mountain Dew. Let's see you dream in IBM 390 assembler and stay entirely sane.

Creation has to have a foundation, perhaps that is what the Mountain Folk are doing constantly? I mean, if Creation is in fact the biggest Artifact ever, then somebody's got to maintain it or things will go downhill (moreso than it already has...).

Re: Exalted: The Fair Folk - Official Teaser Thread

Ms. Borgstrom, you managed to spoil movies and books I've actually read for me.

Not spoil as in "there's no more surprise." Spoil as in "I'll never be able to watch the Iron Giant again without picturing a Giant Metal Snuffleupagus, and that makes me cry."

My guess would be owls as demons. Owls are the denizens of the Black Lodge, at least when they are not what they seem.
