Thoughts on Season 30 Essence 3

The Prologue begins by saying to the audience “Once upon a time … Where did this happen? Outside, or within?” and later on “Where is the stage: outside or within?”. Sangria’s description “The distorted opening hints at the truth—Is this a magnificent stage or an icy cage?” In the original opera, the setting was essentially within Bluebeard’s soul, or “within”. Here, Sangria is implying that “cage” is the correct answer, as we see from the state of the previous leading actresses Judith finds. Sangria’s role seems to represent the original opera’s prologue, as well as the darkness at the start and end of the opera, especially as she is the one we see at the end of the trailer closing the door Bluebeard is in after the actresses escape.

Judith’s description includes “A heroic musketeer was never needed in her script”. This is a reference to the original Bluebeard fairy tale.

In the original, Bluebeard’s newest wife originally repelled by his beard but decides to marry due to his wealth) curiosity leads her to opening the 1 door she was told not to, where she finds the dead bodies of Bluebeard’s previous wives. She’s unable to hide this fact as the key she used was now stained with blood she was unable to clean off, and when Bluebeard finds out, he promises to kill her, but she manages to delay it temporarily. She uses this time to tell her sister (the main character was the younger of the 2) and ask her to look out for their brothers and signal them for help. Before the girl can be killed, her brothers, described as “musketeers” in some versions, arrive and kill Bluebeard, saving her.

Unlike in the original tale, in canon, Perfumer aka Chloe killed her sister, and so she wouldn’t have anyone to come to her aid. More ironic is how her sister, the real Vera, actually had been trying to help Chloe, but Chloe thought she was being betrayed. Chloe pretends to be “Vera” from then on, but later does realize her tragic error, though it’s too late by then. Her life is much better than it was before, and despite her guilt, she is also unwilling to give up being “Vera”. Vera wants to escape her guilt (rather than atone) by making herself forget. As we see in her 1st letter, she is trying to prove that she can be fine on her own, similar to how Judith in this essence states she has no need for anyone to rescue her.

With Duke Bluebeard, it mentions building “thicker walls”. In the opera, Judith is essentially the one breaking down his walls, as the story does take place “within” his soul.

(Murro even mentions only having 1 toy and walls in his 1st deduction.)

Up until at least door 5, Bluebeard is actually encouraging Judith to open the doors. And up until door 5, more and more light enters the castle, as the initial reason Judith says she wants to open the doors is because the castle is dark and she wants to let in some light. Upon opening door 5, that is when the most light appears, with it being almost blinding in intensity. But for door 6 and door 7, Bluebeard tells her not to open it, and when opening door 6, only darkness pours out, though door 7 isn’t as dark, as “pale moonlight” streams out. The contents of doors 1-5 are covered in blood, while the 6th contains a lake of tears and 7 contains Bluebeard’s previous wives.

Bluebeard in the original story killed his previous wives, and in the opera they were a memory/mental image he kept of them, like a trophy, as they still left an influence on him and thus a mark was left in his mind.

This seems to be an accurate interpretation considering in the Season 30 Essence 3 trailer, Bluebeard tells Judith to “become an eternal treasure of mine”.

Speaking of the trailer, this essence seems to be a combination of both the original Bluebeard story and the opera. At the start Bluebeard seems to be about to leave Judith and he tells her specifically not to open the 7th door, which lines up with the original Bluebeard story, as does all the riches and wealth she finds behind doors 1-6 with what we see Judith finding in the trailer. The introduction for the play given by Sangria, as well as the Murro ending in alone in the darkness, the use of the name “Judith”, and in a way the fact she finds the previous leading actresses “alive” lines up with the opera’s story.

Unlike Bluebeard, Murro has done nothing similarly evil, so it is more likely the memories behind each door and the mental image of the previous wives are more of the pain in his past as well as the loss of everyone after the tragedy and after game 8.

At door 5, Bluebeard proudly presents his country, though Judith notices blood colored clouds passing over it. Considering Murro’s backstory, this may parallel Hullabaloo circus itself before the tragedy, with doors 1-4 (which contained a torture chamber, armory, treasury, and a garden) potentially relating to the pain Murro suffered under Bernard.

Hullabaloo on the outside seemed like a great place, just like Bluebeard’s lands, but also just like the blood red clouds Judith sees, Hullabaloo held a darkness not everyone noticed until too late. Even Mike in his 4th letter states “It took that incident to make me realize that this so-called family of ours is no better than a stinking sewer. Only after tearing apart the veil on it was I able to realize that it was infested with mediocrity, jealousy, and blood”.

That could also be a good connection to the “lake of tears” behind door 6.

Finally with door 7, this could in part tie into Murro’s “loneliness”, which he references in his 4th letter: “Everyone is gone. If I too die here, please bury me with my friends. At least I won't be too lonely then”. Even with how he refers to the 2 previous actresses as “treasures” could reference how even Murro still somewhat cared for his memories with Mike and Joker, as he says in his 4th letter (after game 8 has finished): “Yes, if only it was a nightmare. I would rather be jolted awake by Bernard's whistle while he gazes at me with a boar on a leash, and Mike is busy bickering with Joker while practicing juggling”. But just like Bluebeard being left alone in the darkness when everyone escapes, Murro is left all alone, after both the tragedy and especially after game 8 when everyone dies, to the point Murro begs for death because “everyone is gone”. He just asks that he be “[buried] with my friends”.

I also find it ironic that Murro is the 1 trapped at Hullabaloo by Bernard and the 1 who wanted to escape from the circus and suffered under Bernard yet he is playing the role of Bluebeard, while Perfumer aka Chloe who killed her own sister aka Vera after she suspects Vera betrayed her is playing Judith (similar to Bluebeard in the original story killing the wives when he learns of their essential “betrayal” when they open the door he tells them not to).

Regarding Demi and Fiona as the previous actresses paralleling Bluebeard's previous wives, their descriptions mentioning being in this land "forever" relates to how in the opera Bluebeard says that dawn, night, etc.. are their's forever (he found 1 at daybreak, 1 at noon, 1 at evening, and Judith at night, and each essentially represents those, though in the essence there's only 2 rather than 3 previous women).

Forever is a reference to them being mere memories, as no one can actually live forever, which is another reference to the opera taking place "within" aka the soul, though in the essence they "slumber" eternally.

And just like the descriptions, in the opera Bluebeard describes his previous wives as overwhelmingly beautiful, which again goes back to the idea that he's kept an ideal mental image of each of them at their peak.

As for the others, Servais is a detective brought here by a "ticket" holding "clues", a ticket that likely came from Bonbon considering its description mentions sometimes "secrets slip out". Servais seeking the "truth" reminds me of Judith in the original opera opening all the doors due to her curiosity and the same desire to "inch closer to the truth". Of course, Servais here parallels how he came to the manor after Murro's disappearance, as him being tasked to find Murro is just like his role as detective, except in this essence he is likely here due to the disappearances of the previous actresses (compared to him arriving due to Murro’s disappearance).

Philip as a "Harsh Critic" implies unlike others he is less enthused about the play. His opinion about "beauty" is likely a reference to his belief in physiognomy (he may see them captured women, with how they're described as that beautiful, as being innocent like his sister?)

making all the survivors rag dolls is definitely the most cohesive choice when trying to distinguish them from the hunters, but I still think it would be cooler if they were each a different kind of doll

IDV Men and their Love Languages pt.1

Lucky Guy

If one were to ask Lucky what his love language is, he wouldn’t know. He hasn’t had much of an opportunity to show or receive any type of love throughout his life. That being said, an embarrassed, but happy, blush will appear anytime anyone praises him. Every “good job.” He gets after a match leaves him stuttering out a soft “thanks” and avoiding eye contact. These Words of Affirmation, however, always make him feel appreciated.

-Lucky has been stuck in the Manor for a long time

-He hasn’t really complained, since there isn’t much for him back in the ‘real’ world

-plus, he got to meet you

-Your first match together, he showed you the ropes, and made a habit of commending you each time you did well

-You’re able to observe that he acts this way with most people

-he’s on no one’s bad side.

-Even the hunters like him for how generally sweet he is

-You get close to him through these words of praise. Every time he manages an impressive feat, you make sure to find him to express your compliments and to watch his face go red

-Though, from you, he gets a lot more used to it

-And, eventually, you have to admit you fell for him, all of him

-It’s been a long time since you joined the survivors at the Manor, and you became close with Lucky in that time, but never expressed your desire to become more than friends.

-During a certain match, you’ve managed to evade the hunter for the majority of the game

-You noticed early on when Lucky let you all know that the hunter was near him, and as far as you knew, that fact hadn’t changed.

-You’re peacefully decoding when the priestess calls upon you to help her bridge a connection across the map. You comply, standing by the nearby wall and allowing Fiona to complete her skill, suddenly, you notice Lucky’s status marker go down to half-health

-And suddenly, he’s right next to you, now incapacitated

-As the portal dissipates, you begin to heal him up

-When he’s back to full health, you take hold of his wrist before he leaves to find a different cipher

-“You’re doing great!” You say, watching as he instantly becomes bashful, “You’ve got this, I love you!”

-He’s shocked! You… do? Through his dazed demeanor, he manages a strong “I love you, too!” And runs off

-Both to hide his embarrassment, and to win, for you!

Servais Le Roy

Again, with a lot of thinking, Servais’ love language is Words of Affirmation. For someone like him who is cunning and enjoys being the focus of the crowd, words of affirmation are a powerful way to make him feel valued. When he performs for you, be sure to acknowledge his talent and skills.

-Servais has spent most of his life pushing towards his goal of becoming a great magician

-Getting to the point where he believes that he can be the creator of the perfect, genuine magic trick

-Often he attempts to create a new trick and will perform for a test or for approval, if he believes the trick is worthy of an audience

-You’re the first he goes to, sometimes just to show you what he’s been working on

-He thrives off of the encouragement you give him

-If you happen to see a part of his trick that he displays, tell him

-he’s grateful to have the true audience outlook from you, plus, he’ll praise you for your “good eye”

-If he ever puts on a big performance, he’ll expect a critique from you at the end

-"Wow, that was incredible! You nailed it, and everyone loved it. I'm so proud of you for putting yourself out there and sharing your talent with everyone."

-If you said something like that to him, he’d melt, he’s head-over-heels, and will not hesitate to reciprocate your expressive words with how much he appreciates you as well!

Kurt Frank

As an avid reader, and a creative spirit, Kurt’s love language is gift giving! There are many things he loves to give: stories formulated by his own mind, small treasures found on each of his “adventures,” even the books he holds most precious will become a gift for the one he loves the most.

-Kurt asked you one day if you had a favorite book, a few days before your birthday

-You couldn’t give him an answer then

-and you had forgotten the question as you were swept away with other things to attend to

-Then, the time of your birthday arrived

-You weren’t expecting any gifts, really, save for what the “Baron” of the Manor allotted for you, which was usually some kind of decoration for your room that had to do with your skill, and of course, a letter that revealed a part of your past

-It happened to everyone, but you happened to be feeling a little down in the dumps about it

-That is, until Kurt comes along with a wrapped gift signed with your name.

-“It isn’t much,” he claimed, noting, “my resources were limited.”

-You were overjoyed that he even thought of you, much less brought you something

-You carefully tore open the wrapping.

-“Gulliver’s Travels” read the title of the book you held, one you recognized as Kurt’s favorite.

-An addition in familiar handwriting underneath caught your eye

-“With the annotations of Kurt Frank”

-He annotated his favorite book for you.

-Needless to say, that is the best gift you’d receive throughout your time in the manor, though he does the same for you with different books once you’ve expressed your interest.

-If you do the same for him, oh wow! He’d be on cloud nine!

-Even if it isn’t the type of book he’d normally enjoy, if it had your thoughts and feeling on the page, he’d cherish it forever

Naib Subedar

Despite his stoic look, Naib’s love language is physical touch. Naib has had so much affection to give bottled up inside him for a long time. The truth is, Naib is a romantic at heart, but has created a wall to cover his true personality. That is necessary when one works with the horrors and bloodshed Naib has had to see. Now that he’s safer, he’s not going to release his inner love until he finds the right one. One can’t forget about friends as well! Naib will have a few people he’s closely attached to, but there is something special about his lover. He’s not the type for pda until a long time into a relationship, but early on, not much is off-limits once in private. That sounds horribly inappropriate, but I mean it in the sweet way?

-It takes Naib a long time to actually confess his love for you, but in a way, it was obvious for a while

-He’s always go to you if injured during a match

-and be the first to save you when you’re in trouble

-he’s try as hard as he could not to be evident about anything, he really was

-it’s ok though, you liked to see him almost silently beg for your attention

-After he confesses and you reciprocate?

-Double, no, at least triple that.

-A quick peck on the cheek before each match, from him to you if you’re the one with the match, or you to him if he’s leaving.

-A good morning hug when you see each other for the first time in the mornings

-that is, up until you start spending nights with him

-He’d honestly have trouble sleeping alone after the first time you sleep in the same bed together (not like that)

-It’s awkward at first, he doesn’t really know what to do

-but just guide him along, he’ll quickly gain confidence once he confirms that you really do feel the way he feels

-Every night is spent held tight in his arms

-He loves it when you run your hands up and down his back

-Or run your fingers through his hair

-Being with you, touching you, loving you feels like heaven to him

-He’s just a touch-starved, smitten boy with so much love to give

William Ellis

A boisterous man! He’s excitable and energetic at all times. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with him. Acts of Service is how he best shows and receives love! He’s the type to lend a helping hand when he notices someone in need. Thus, he has associated himself with many different types of people.

-One of William’s most often spoken phrases is “Do you need anything?”

-He means it, he’s willing to do almost anything for you

-He’s constantly saving you in matches

-is it because he loves you, or because he can’t stand decoding?

-“Why can’t it be both?” He’ll question

-It’s both

-He always makes sure you’re ok, taking extra time to patch up any more serious injuries

-or picking you up and carrying you all the way to the Infirmary if you look worse off

-ask him for a glass of water before bed, he’s practically already gotten it.

-He’ll be happy to oblige to a ‘goodnight kiss’

-Anything you ask, genuinely.

-He’ll expect the same, though
