HEYA I return with more stuff. As mentioned in the event idea post, I had a few things I wanted to look into that were more narrow in focus, and so seemed better here.
1. Lance and Nate are planning to go hit up some of the ruins! This is both because Lance wants to see them and because they plan to look for any other bird motifs that may have been missed while people were focused on more important stuff (like solving puzzles.) From what I saw it looked like there were bird god themes at both Everest and Cairo, so Lance and Nate are planning to check out Oslo and Rio to see if they also fit the pattern. Lance is also pretty fascinated by the color-coding sort of thing, so he'll be looking for anything else related to that too.
2. Lance is also particularly interested in the James Henries mystery. As far as he (and I) understand, it seems like James Henries exists/existed in ML-world (not just Zerzura) and was the CEO of Giles-Bell, but that it was too long ago for him to still be alive if he had a normal lifespan. However, there's also the stuff about the mystery guy who shows up over the span of a hundred years without aging.
So I'm thinking the first place to start is looking into what history does exist for James Henries as CEO of Giles-Bell, and try to just get a general idea of the basics about him. This includes trying to find any pictures of him; if he was CEO of such a big company, hopefully there might be pictures (and if there aren't, that's interesting to know too!) If there are pictures, he'll then want to try to compare them to the pictures of the unaging guy, just in case there's a reasonable resemblance there that indicates a lead worth pursuing. If not, he's interested in the idea of facial recognition for the mystery guy if that's a possible thing.
So yeah! I have some other ideas of stuff to look at, but these seem like the easiest to get going on right away. c:
