Ok, I thought hyper teach was with the baddies :V Nice curve-ball :3

> "Is it safe to assume that Dlobok was one of them, one of the sinister forces?"

Meh, Kobold, Rat, close enough :V And unless it's important to the plot, what type of bird the girl is isn't THAT big of a deal to me. References are win though ^-^

Wikipedia: According to the Roman poets Virgil (Aeneid, book v.864) and Ovid, the Sirenum scopuli were three small rocky islands where the Sirens of Greek mythology lived and lured sailors to their deaths. "The Sirenum Scopuli are sharp rocks that stand about a stone's throw from the south side of the island" of Capri, was Joseph Addison's confident identification.[1].

> I think we know what Lorelei is now. I expected her to be a harpy though...

Might also be a reference to Mystia.

> Try to pick out any animal-like features on Hopkins.

True, but she did say she came from Sirenum Scopuli...

And I think Mr. Hopkins is a bunny. :3

The siren thing was pretty obvious, but I hadn't examined Hopkins name closely enough. Well done.

Siren's generally use singing to lead others to death, Mystia's lastname is Lorelei IIRC. Wikipedia also mentions "Lorelei is a mermaid name which belonged to the mermaid who lured wary fisherman to their death by singing the most beautiful song they had ever heard."

As long as we're figuring out what everyone is, what about Paprika?

Hmm...



Oh wait, Lorelei said Paprika's a wolf :getdown:

>Harpies are cool and all, but how can you argue with such a beautiful singing voice~?

Might also be a reference to Mystia.

> Try to pick out any animal-like features on Hopkins.
>The parser regretfully admits to not thinking of Mystia's surname at all until after Lorelei had been named.  Still, fun coincidence I guess.
>You look over him and... He looks perfectly human.  Short blonde hair, brown eyes, kinda youngish (around his mid-to-late twenties, you estimate), tall and thin... Nope, nothing out of the ordinary.

The siren thing was pretty obvious, but I hadn't examined Hopkins name closely enough. Well done.

>"I know that she's got the underground terrified at the very least.  Sanctuary's supernatural community usually likes to lie low but there's been a noticable increase in strange attacks at night and bizarre murders.  I think she has something pretty big backing her because there's no way a simple werewolf would cause this by herself."
