Six 'sentences'

Thanks for the tag again, @ruiniel!

A little WIP snippet from a future chapter of my Naruto series, A Straight Way:

‘Efficient’ is how Itachi describes Sakura’s kill, once the meeting commences and everyone reports in. “She stopped his heart, in his sleep,” Kisame elaborates, when asked to provide details. “Cleanest kill I’ve ever seen; no one will even think to call it a kill.” “Pah!” the voice next to him remarks. “Uninspired, hm.” “Unobtrusive,” Itachi corrects. “Lame!” Hidan counters. “Satisfactory,” Kakuzu declares, effectively ending the exchange. “The client paid us an additional bonus, as the request was completed in half the expected time.”  No wonder he’s pleased, Sasori thinks.

Okay, first of all I did the math wrong! Kaylee is only four years younger than Caleb, not five. Glad no one pointed it out XDD. I wasn't alone stupid. We're all stupid here. I changed it in the original posting but I want to add to this reblog chain because I like to keep everything in one place... but yeah that effectively would make Caleb 26 and Kaylee 22. But...

@blookitty I heard that the developers did Caleb's birth date math wrong and he's actually 10 years younger. So 16 in the game. Also, the end game screenshots of Silas as a human show him as at least 18 because he's TALL. Laura and Max escaped the afternoon of the full moon so weren't running around for long. Finally, growing up camping doesn't mean you understand how fast hay burns.

(If you still remember where you heard that Caleb was supposed to be 10 years younger feel free to share! if not that is fine too)

That is interesting because that would make Caleb younger than Kaylee which would explain the baby face. But then again it makes me wonder why Chris said that Caleb is working at the scrapyard in off season instead of going to school and that Kaylee still trying to figure out what she is doing, having her whole life in front of her.

Caleb being 16 in 2021 would make his birth year 2005 and we would assume that Amelia died that year instead of 1999, the year Kaylee was born. But that would also mean he would have been 9 years old (to a 15 year old Kaylee) when he started that fire so Kaylee was rescuing Silas.

And that... is... that would paint Kaylee even worse! Little nine year old brother, please start a fire...

Anyway... what would make this whole idea even more interesting is that Kaylee keeping her birthday (1999), Amelia and Chris would have been 26 when they got her. They would have been 32 when they got Caleb, which is both a better age to have children than 22 (canon birth of Caleb) and 26...

(in that case Amelia would have been the same age to have Caleb as Constance was when she got Travis! 22 years old!)

But also if Kaylee is the older one it would explain why Travis feels closer to her, being the oldest one himself and her having a six year gap to her little brother, compared to Travis and the eight year gap to Chris instead of her being the favorite because she is the only girl and the youngest.

But this is all guesswork and what if's there is still the fact that we have the birthdates on the family tree so that is what I am going to assume is canon. But again, everyone can look at it and take the hints the way they want (and fanfic AUs are doing the rest lol).

It would also be interesting if both Caleb and Kaylee were supposed to be like 5 years younger, which would make them 21 (*2000) and 17 (*2004) but also 15 and 11 when they started the fire which is more believable and would also support the photo of them from them visiting the carnival / Harum Scarum.

But in all cases I stay at my point that they should have known about the dangers of fire, even if not the special danger of a hayfire but a fire close to humans and in the middle of the woods. And I even more stay at my point that they should have asked their father or uncle for help!

But I know that is neither here nor there because otherwise we wouldn't have a game xD

Silas... he could be 18 but one theory I really like is the idea of Werewolf blood not only curing injury and basically bring you back from the dead but also keeping you young.

Which would explain why Jed, Travis and Bobby are very agile and strong despite their ages... (well Bobby is only 45 but it could maybe explain parts of his very strong physique too?) because they use werewolf blood on themselves regularly and certainly consume some by mistake... (I think it was Cellar who first had that idea!)

What I want to say is even though Silas might look 18 years old he could still be way older. The old poster from his cage looks like it's from the 80s... so he could be easily way in his 30 close to 40.

Then again, it would be weird if Kaylee would want to rescue a supposedly adult instead of a kid...

Honestly... no matter how we look at it... it does not really make sense ... or I just can't see it right now.

@alicestrange98 think 1999 and 1995 are really when Kaylee and Caleb were born. Caleb most likely had a baby face. I know several men who are twice as old as Caleb and sometimes I can also call them stupid boys. So I do believe that at 20 Caleb was a "stupid kid".

I hadn't planned on reblogging this post once more but since I do I can comment anyway.

This is a valid point! xD

Also Caleb being at least for 6 years a werewolf could also cause some serious baby-face.

I think I got blocked so I will now talk about Silas and post in his tag and you all have to suffer... or you like what I'm going to write.

The white wolf really is such a mysterie which is a pity. Whe know literally nothing but his name and what he kind of looks like.

All we know about him are from very untrustworthy sources.

One is Travis who is telling us what Kaylee told him.

Travis assumes that Eliza is not Silas' real mother. But we don't know that. Eliza looks really old so how likely is it? Well, it can still be true that Eliza is indeed Silas mother since the game is taking place in a world where werewolves, witches and ghosts are real.

But all of this just raises more question and we get literally no answers.

Like how old was/is Silas?

Travis says Kaylee wanted to help the child. this means that Silas was in his human form, right? And Travis also says that even six years later there are sightings of a feral albino child along the coast. Of course if Silas was something like 6 years old when Harum Scarum got destroyed, he could be 12 when he was finally "caught".

That again raises the question if no one ever tried to find him and bring him inside? A naked child in the woods that was seen multiple times?

Anyway let us look at the poster on the cage:

compared to the new flyer, we find all the time, the one from six years ago:

In the first one Eliza looks a lot younger. Of course that could have been the artist of the poster deciding to just pretty her up. But if you look at the design, the first ones looks older... like it could be from decades ago.

But Silas was already a part of the show then. So... how old is Silas really? Is he Elizas son? She sure seems to think so.

"Mommy is coming Silas!"

(Sorry the screenshots I have are bad)

Eliza sees Silas as her son. Why did she put him in a cage? Maybe it wasn't as bad as Kaylee thought it was? It might have been good enough that people thought it is just an act? The cage itself is rather big... Maybe peope thought the feral thing was also just an act?

That would be what I might assume... children who grow up in a circus often help out with the acts.

Either way, Eliza loved Silas enought to stay in the real world as a ghost and to try to kill off a whole family to protect him (and maybe bring him snacks/campers into the woods, who knows).

Anyway talking about age, another thing is that both Kaylee and Caleb are (if we believe the family tree) 21 (*1999) and 26 (*1995)

Not exactly teenagers, even though Chris titles them as such. The developers are just not exact with the ages and all characters are unreliable narrators.

Also Caleb was 20 when he started the fire to help his 15 year old sister to free a child. Instead of asking their cop-uncle to help?

All of this just seems weird. Caleb should have known better. He was already an adult who grew up in the woods and at camp. He should know about the dangers of fire.

Even if they were both only 10 years old they should have known better...

Another thing is that we have to assume is, that Silas was in his human form when he got "rescued". And still he bit Caleb. He is multiple times described as feral (again by Travis who is not a reliable source) but it might still be true.

The fact alone that Silas bit Caleb while probably being human is an indicator for Silas actually being feral. That raises the question of why was Silas like that? Was he like that from the beginning? Or was he just not raised adequately? OR if he really is older than he looks did he become more feral with time?

All of those are valid options.

Another thing that always strikes me as weird is Kaylees letter. The first time I heard it, it sounded like she is not sorry about what happened. It sounds like she is only sorry about how it turned out.

Though, many people died she does not sound like she feels any regret... maybe werewolves really become more feral with time?

Gammy, How long we gonna drag this shit out? I know family is the most important thing, but I wanna know what's outside the forest, outside this damn house and camp, and I sure as hell know that ain't about to happen 'cos of who we are. Maybe we can explain what's goin' on. Fuckin' show people. Then they'll know we got no control over it. I know you just tryin' to protect us, but one day you won't be here no more and right now it feels like we stuck in a dark hole. I can't sleep Gammy. Or if I do I dream about that fuckin' fire. We were just dumbass kids back then. I wish it never happened. Love, K xoxo

Also Kaylee writes that they were just dumbass kids, which might be true for her but not for her brother (again, 15 and 20).

BUT THEN we have this photo:

We don't know when it was made but it could be from six years ago? But Caleb does not look 5 years older than Kaylee... all of this is just one big mysterie.

Anyway I wish we would have learned more about Silas because the things we do learn are not really anything to go with... all we can do is take those and put our own preferred headcanons around them.
