Amycus

[lapin-agile.livejournal.com]

Okay. alt_amycus needs his own discussion: two posts in an evening. And, omg, I'm terrified for alt_terry!

What do you suppose Amycus's "new regimen" lists mean?

I.
4L x 3D
Tx30
CCx4
results marginal

pigeons

II.
4L x 2D
2 pair trousers
5 CC but scattered.

I thought the first one was some sort of list of punishments in code, but "2 pair trousers" doesn't seem to fit. Perhaps he's trying experimental pigeon extermination strategies? But again, "2 pair trousers"? Am I making this harder than it needs to be?

If this is the Justine that Amycus is talking about, and the comment below makes that seem very likely, I wonder how literal the comparison between Alecto and Justine is.

From a summary of the plot (I am not brave enough to read the actual story), Justine went out into the world at age 12 trying to live her life virtuously. Every time she tries to make a good choice, though, she is horribly abused, raped, chained up, punished, etc. Alecto had a disturbing dream. She's compared to Justine. Did she have some of the same sorts of horrible things happen to her as Justine did? And does that help explain how the Carrows got to be so twisted?

Is her situation maybe similar to that of Dumbledore's little sister Ariana, who was traumatized into insanity by Muggles at a young age?

Possibly. In any case, it's Muggles that are sure to be blamed, I'd guess, even if it's just been exposure to DE debauchery and madness.

The other possibly significant thing about Justine is that she had an older sister (Juliette, for what that's worth), who sells Justine out by actively embracing libertinage and involving them both in sadist horrors for her own pleasure -- to which Justine's torment contributes greatly.

Or a werewolf - Alecto had her dream last night, the same night Sally-Anne and Pansy stayed up to watch for Lupin.

Where is Lupin, anyway? I'm a bit worried for him, given Alecto's posting's implications of multiple test subjects and plans for Boot.

Brilliant thought about the significance of last night as both dream night and full moon, werewolf night!

Fenrir Greyback at work? Have we heard about him in-game yet?

I think he *has* been mentioned in passing, but I'm not certain. I don't believe that he was part of the group out of the country that Lupin joined following the Potter's murder. And I don't believe he was part of the group that Lupin recently attacked hoping to save a child from being turned. But I do believe we've heard him mentioned. (I'm such a lot of help!)
