THE SCROLL: Part 6

Oooh, Hello nice shiny blog!

I feel a big demand for paracetamol coming on....

More enormous holes.... goodness, these vampires do get peckish don't they.

sooo...we've got vampire, killed, God-head-baby??, new symbol...looks like big and small man standing behind each other....



@Megan2345 *lol* yeah, they keep chewing on their prophecies, don't they? But then I don't think that human skin actually would make good parchment....

Don't know- I was hoping for this scroll to be easier but.. it is not to be! Death of a vampire, human pregnant with the saviour? and a... ghost symbol? Clueless as always

What i want to know is, what're the folk in the left hand corner upto?



Is it two people? Could it mean dual person? Dual personality?

Oh dear, I've already got a headache and I've only just opened the page.



Right down to business:

*Dons power suit*

Using the spiral technique



Baby/lady pregnant with goddeath symbol(Saviour?)

Two men/brothers

Vampire

Killed



If this isn't part of the warchild scrolls could this be Mitchells death scene?

@4. Lol, at least they had the sense not to write in blood though - we all know how impractical that is!



I think human skin + blood ink would mean an illegible prophecy

6-@BigBadDog maybe that's just a symbol for plural...as in more than one man...mankind perhaps? like three flames meaning fire



8-@Megan2345 Yeah, that would be a complete disaster I guess...maybe all those holes come from somebody with two left hands preping of the skin? Anatomy-preparators at my uni used to call that "button-holes" ^^

Always left cold by the scrolls, would rather just wait until we are told what it all means re the scrolls in the episodes...Trying to work these out just gives me a headache.



Combine that with the fact I've been lying ill, in a dark room, most of the day feeling sorry for myself and I a not it a good mood. :(



Been trying to coax my flatmate into going down to the scotmid to get strepsils and those malteser bunny thingys!

I really think that other symbol means brothers (twins) brothers at least?

Ok we've got vampires, death, saviour child and Eve 1 and 2 maybe?

@Megan2345

If they keep muching on the skin, you couldn't trust them not to lick off the blood-ink even if it was practical to write with! ;)



My idea behind 7. is just that Nina was there pregnant with Eve, there is a symbol we were thinking could me brothers or lovers or ghost which could describe either Mitchell-George or Mitchell-Annie or Annie and ofcourse we have vampire killed.

But does that mean that the vampire was killed or it was the vampire that did the killing?

Hmm...maybe vampires killed savour baby's parents? The two people could be showing family- 2nd person connected but smaller?

I think I'm probably just making ideas for symbol meanings up though so it fits with my story!

I know what! it is not Mitchell's death but it could be something from earlier. What other vamp dies before?

Do you think that little bow-tie symbol on the left-hand side means anything?

Vampires killed Nina (mother of the Saviour), leaving George to look after the baby?

OR A vampire (Herrick) tried to kill Nina - fourth symbol could be "failed" (is it like the arm symbol?) or "Nina was jumpstarted by a ghost"...

Maybe it's Ninas death...mother of the savior killed by vampire? That would not explain the two connected men though...

@6. Yeah, never thought of that 0positiv. *hangs head in shame*



@10. Awww, sorry to hear you're not feeling good catriona. I think the scrolls induce headaches in us all!



Tell your flatmate to get a shift on, the scotmids usually close at 10!

16- @Megan2345 I didn't even see it! and there is like a circle of dots next to "Nina" (I mean symbol of pregnant lady with god-head baby), doesn't that mean anything? I need to check on previous blogs. Back in a sec

If it is about Eve



going with @0positiv 9. thinking two men = mankind



Is it:

SAVIOUR(baby)-of-MANKIND-the-VAMPIRES-are-KILLED

Or

the-VAMPIRES-KILLED-the-SAVIOUR-of-MANKIND

hrm...too slow...-.-'



16-@Megan2345 I've been wondering about that...and on the scrolls in the show they have lots of those little symbols that Regus doesn't even mention





man, I wonder how many people they needed to get that much skin....and it's not easy getting of that many big pieces of skin, believe you me......that sounded creepy...^.^'

Aww catriona. So sorry you are not feeling well :-( *passes stepsils and maltiser bunny thing* what is a maltiser bunny thing?

I feel a bit under the weather too!

Urggghhhh. I really hate feeling ill.

recommend a hot toddy as always helps me!

I will make you one....



Try this but be careful its hot!

@16: well spotted! that meant something like "all" or "whole group" last time...

I don't know how you lot manage to make any sense out of these! What do people make of the top right symbol? I've not seen much of the other scroll discussions so don't want to say anything that could have already been said/covered.

@20. I don't normally get involved in the scrolls, so I didn't know if it was important or not.... though it doesn't really look like it's part of the prophecy, more like a private code of some sort, like 'We really need to fix that hole in the side - I know, I'll mark it with a little symbol to remember for later'. And then the clumsy vampire forgets all about it...

@JimJam

the top right symbol means killed. Theres a key to some of the symbols on The Scrolls a recap blog. :)

I still think it is about Nina, a vampire killed the mother of the saviour of humankind?

@nerdyalice- Ahh right, didn't know that, thanks! I'll go looking for that blog right now :P

how did they write on those scrolls? Are the symbols burned in? Stitched on it (like creepy Addam's-Family-type embroidery...) or scratched in?

Hello all :)

I can't seem to get my head around the scrolls at all. So I'm going to sit quietly on one of the blog sofas and listen while the clever people talk..:o)

30-@Opositiv- looked like drawn by scalpel? humm... scalpel like surgeons have. Maybe Hal's maker did more than turning him...*** look suspiciously at the scroll***

Is the symbol for saviour baby different to the one for Eve? Is it human saviour baby? And we have death, vampires and people. Does this mean that there is a second saviour baby born of a human? Now where do we keep the blog supply of paracetamol...

31.@oletaolyta I'm sure you're very clever. Me on the other hand...and yet I still throw my not-very-inspired theories out there ^^

Urgh... Maybe they tattooed the person then flayed them? And not even for looking at them funny...

Or they cured the skin into leather then ink would prob be ok hmmm

@Oleta - think I'll join you!



I've got the key now, so know what the symbols above mean, but my uncreative mind has decided it doesn't want to attempt to work something out, so I'll just lurk and watch you clever people discuss :P

oooh new scroll!

Vampire

Killed

Godhead/Saviour baby symbol

2 human symbols stuck together



Maybe it means Eve gets preggers? child of the saviour? Maybe it means Eve as a baby, not in FW form?or is suggesting that she isn't really the saviour at all...



the conjoined man symbol ... maybe means the 2 versions of the the same person ie. Future Eve and Baby Eve (one of the symbols is a bit shorter)



BUT - the symbol inside the "baby" symbol isn't exactly the "saviour" one, just most similar to it. The Saviour/Godhead one is concentric circles and this is just one. Hope we get another key soon to explain some of the new symbols we've got!



Maybe altogether it means a vampire is killed by/kills Eve. (Please not Hal!)

32-@notamanofgod hrm....by scalpel you say? I don't know...maybe, but that would take reeeeaaaly long, all those tiny cuts...



35-@JodiFay It doesn't look like ink though, I think. And not tatooed either

@Oleta @JimJam- wait up, I come with you. I did my bit, think it is Nina's offscreen death. No more ideas so far

That vampire-symbol means just one vampire, doesn't it? or could it also be vampires?



Where is SAINTIXE56? Is she sulking? She always has ideas about those scrolls o.o

38- it is just like writing or drawing as long as the scalpel is really sharp. When I was at school in my arts and drafts course we have some leather carving and it doesn't take that long... and the human skin is so much softer... I do really sound creepy just now. Better go to the sofa with Oleta and JimJam

41-@notamanofgod but if you cut human skin with a scalpel it won't stay sharp for very long...at least mine didn't in prep-course ^.^ I was always changing blades...

Hi all!

I think it says

Vampire

Killed

Saviour/godhead baby

and I think the last symbol is ghost.



Regarding who turned Hal, I dont think it was Mr Snow. If we think he was rich (due to teeth being rotten, and rich having more sugar in their diet in the 1400's) then surely he wouldn't have gone to the battle of orsha? Any history techers on here that could say whether the rich fought in Orsha??

oh my. between the bar brawl last night, the last blog with all the crazy numbers(in which i tossed my calculator over my shoulder) and now the crazy scrolls which i would probably just crumple up and throw in the round file, i am glad i love my cocktails. You people are way to advanced for me! And i work for attorneys!

Is quietly grossed out by the thought of human skin being tattooed before being flayed #shiver



The two vampires....the 'King' aka Mr Snow and 'the Lord' aka Hal or alternatively, the Lord and his Protoge? ie Hal and Cutler



Goes and sits on the sofa and listens to the clever people talk.

(google tells me prep-course should really read gross anatomy lab, what ever the word is, I mean the place where med-students cut up corpses....purely for learning purposes of course ^.^)

34:@Opositive: Thanks but your are doing way better than me!



*shuffles along the sofa to make room for JimJam and Notamanofgod. Passes out Nurofen for those in need. ;)

I was thinking more old style tattoo- cutting into skin and rubbing ash (normally of an ash tree I think) into the wound.... Makes a kind of dark scar... So when skin cured into leather after flaying it might look like that?? I should probably stop thinking about it.... Urgh

Evening all. Haven't read all posts yet. forgive me if i repeat aything :) Think maybe the two men are Hal and Cutler? they seem to get pretty pally in the episode preview. I wonder if all those little holes mean they were all attatched together at some point... maybe they'd make more sense like that :P this is just tedious.

46 @O+ now you sound creepy! I suppose that if you don't cut too deeply you could save in blades but I don't think lack of blades was a concern for vamps writing in human skin or lack of time for that matter

I've just had a look on @lycurious' YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Lycurious?ob=0&feature=results_main



and looked at his details and it says his age is 56. I got all excited as i thought we could work out when Cutler was either a)born or b) recuited. But then I took 56 from 2012 and it came up with 1956. I was a bit upset. I thought id discovered something.

oy, peolpe, why is everybody Bowing out? There can't be that much room on the sofa ^.^'



48-@JodiFay but that would leave scars, wouldn't it? Scars don't look like that.



50-@notamanofgod *muahaha* ...ähäm...ok, vampires have nothing but time, you're right ^^ so they wouldn't mind having to use lots of blades

@Oleta Thanks, should we have some tea? and a biscuit? while we enjoy the blog theories

53@ Notamanofgod: I have the traditional Devon cream tea in my hamper. I can't leave home without it, it's the law here;). So help yourself to tea and scones....

@0pos

Could it be a very early form of tattooing? A small hot poker would could do little dots like that, It works on wood, so maybe? Or one of those bridles/bradles(is that what they're called?) you use for punching holes in leather.



Casual converstation about how to etch into skin................

@O+, not bowing out (the sofa is cosy if you want to join the "dark" side). but this is about Nina, I am almost certain.

55-@nerdyalice ....just a normal day on the blog. ^.^



It's a bit hard to tell, without a real sense of scale I mean. It could be burned in but I don't know.

*shuffles over to the sofa, eyeing the hamper of food* May I have a scone @Oleta? Even if I do eat it in the heathen Cornish way and put the jam on first.. ;)

Opositiv. Its an incredibly big sofa!



Ive just looked on wikipedia at the Being Human episodes page. IM WARNING YOU if you don't want to know what happens in the next episode dont look.



*************************SPOLIERS******************************

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Being_Human_episodes

55- a hot poker! humm and how about a combination of both a poker and a scalpel, and a small chisel for good measure. All tools that could be found in a surgeons box of olde

56-@notamanofgod *hihi* lots of dark sides on here, twitter, sofas...but at least you've got scones and tea ^.^

I think Ninas death would make sense, I just don't know how the two kneeling men would fit into that...ô.o hrm....

[email protected] yourself, I'm an equal opportunity scone supplier ;)

Hi there! Nothing to do with the scrolls but Lozzie at 51 reminded me that I'd wanted to say how I loved it on Sunday's ep when Cutler was on twitter as Lycurious. Love those little touches that make BH so outstanding.

Just watched The Lion King i cryed as usaual.

Sea_otter. I squeeled when I saw him on Twitter. My mum gave me a 'what on earth?' look. But I keep looking at his tweets to get clue on what is going to happen in eps.



Saffz. Ive never seen the Lion King (I know! Shoot me!) Im not into animations as such. Always been a live action kind of girl. Mary Poppins is my fave Disney film

@O+, if the little bow next to them means all, it could mean all mankind making the meaning "pregnant with the saviour of humankind". OK, who has the paracetamols **reaches for a cup of tea, herbal because it is being that kind of a blog*

@Lozzie 65- Have you ever seen "Scary Mary" on youtube? see the link below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T5_0AGdFic

It is brilliant!!!

66-@notamanofgod yes, that could be it, even without the little bow it could be all mankind or humankind. But I'll leave you alone now, wouldn't want to aggravate your headache. ^.^

63: @seaotter. I agree, I've been really enjoying the Lycurious twitter and all those extras too. We've been really spoiled this year. I managed to get 2 replies to tweets to @lycurious, which I was ridiculously pleased about it!

I always assumed the symbols were branded on to the flesh.



Sorry, thats my contribution. The scrolls have flummoxed me too!

Maybe the symbols were acupunctured in...with red hot needles...ok XD I'll just stop thinking about that now....

54 @Oleta - Does that include green tea?!

67. notamanofgod. *shaking* its seriously creepy! Reminds me of Woman In Black. Such a great show on the west end and the film is brilliant. Im not sure if ill be able to sleep tonight though! LOL just kiding!

oh i'm so confused!

69 - Ooo Good for you. It's amazing how thrilling it can be!

65 - Lozzie you havnt lived,

WATCH IT NOW THATS AN ORDER.

Thanks Opositiv, I like headaches, it means the machinery is working but in need of repair and TLC

74-@lawchick join the club, we have badges ^.^ or maybe we don't...? Oo

72:@JimJam, Definitely have green tea, No roibosch though...

69. I was at school, in history, and checked my emails and found that @lycurious had tweeted me back. I squealed and my history teacher who was walking behind me gave me a really funny look! Not good!

@Lozzie- Glad to help you staying awake for more blogging ;DDD

77-@notamanofgod excuse my ignorance, but what does TLC mean?

I hate headaches ^^ because during those my machinery is never working

76. Saffz We've only got it on video and our video palyer ate 'The Muppets Movie' the last time we used it. I'll have to get it on dvd, *runs to Amazon to order it*



79. Oletaolyta please may i have some green tea. Ive not had it for 2 years since I went to China.

82-@Opositive TLC means Tender Loving Care it is too corny to say it aloud so it is abbreviated.

@notamanofgod. Not for long. But saying that Im not doing a lot at school tomorrow. 'Studying skills' or something. I dont need to be awake for that! Not that ill do much work anyway. Ill probs end up starting my BH fanfic tomorrow.

79 @Oleta - That's good then, as long as you have green tea I'm happy!

78 opositiv thank god im not the only one. Im easily confused. I'll take a badge, thank you very much! Heck, I'll even make them. Jeez, I feel like Dewi sometimes!

84-@notamanofgod aaah, thx. *makes note of that* Corny abbreviated phrase...^.^ nice



87-@lawchick It's always good to not be alone...we could be the Dewi-club XD

@85. Ooh, please let us know when you've finished the fic :) I'd love to read it. I've started one as well, but I'm keeping it to myself at least until series 4 is finished - it would annoy me so much if something in the last 2 episodes contradicted something I had written, so best to write it now and adapt it later I think.

89. I think thats what I am going to do! Ill post a link up after the end of s4 when its done.



Right Im going to go. See you tomorrow.

I think the bow sign means 'in the days of'. Could the double man sign mean mankind? This would then make this scroll read that during the reign of man the saviour is born and is killed by vampires or during the reign of man the saviour is born and kills the vampires?

good night lozzie_lo, nice dreams ^^

91-@sasha I thought that too, that those two men mean mankind. But does the vampire symbol mean just one vampire or could it also mean more than one?

night lozzie_lo :)

@91. I think you've nailed it sasha! *doffs imaginary hat at sasha*

For any peeps who are interested, this is the recap of the symbols that we already know about:



https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/beinghuman/2012/02/the_scroll_a_recap.html



Reckon we're on the right track! My eyes are not quite sharp enough but I think it is a pregnant woman (with saviour) rather than a werewolf (the werewolf symbol is human + moon). So that might mean that it isn't about Nina.



Right, is there still room on the sofa? Any more soothing tea?

good night bloggers maybe by tomorrow morning the mystery of scroll 6 is solved!

93 - Just checked back on the checklist we had and it says vampire but when they are being translated to Cutler and Griffin Regus definitely says the death of the vampires so maybe it can mean either or.



If this is another story we know - maybe this scroll reads as in the days when mankind ruled the mother of the saviour was killed by vampires?



Ok so who was it that had the headache tablets then?

83 - Its still a suprize to me that Rowan Atkison voiced Zazu, Hes a suprizely good singer.

95 - I don't think I have you know. I keep changing my mind in how the signs should be read - depends on which way round you read them.



But if it's still about stories we know as fact (well as fact as far as BH goes) then I think its more likely to be in the days when mankind ruled the mother of the saviour was killed by vampires.



This still doesn't tell us, of course, if the saviour is the *saviour of the vampires* or the *saviour of mankind*.



I need a mojito. Anyone?

Don't you dare call me a lush BBD - just don't you dare :-)
