DUDES! HELP! (Not serious)

I STARTED THE SMOKE ROOM AND I DON’T KNOW WHOSE ROUTE TO DO FIRSTTTTTT!!!! (I couldn’t keep myself away from these interesting characters and prequel to Echo.) 

They are so interesting to me!!! I tried thinking ‘Who does Terris want to get to know?’ But I came up partially blank. Cliff is very cute and sweet and I’m interested in his story and his apparent gung-ho passion. But at the same time knowing this is the Echo Project I know that he is likely obsessive to a fault, and overattachment is very disconcerting to me. But he seems so cute and sweet. <3 Plus I’m curious what a British stoat like him is doing in a place like Echo. Murdoch I’m mostly interested in seeing what his deal is as opposed to anything else, so he’s kind of on the bottom for me. I want to know why he seems to be all about business. Nikolai seems like the sweetest and kindest man and it seems like he would really care about Samuel, and I feel like we owe him a talk given uh... what happened in the mines... =S But his genuine concern resonated with me. (Wonder if he has internalized homophobia?) And William... Well I don’t know what to think of him! I like him a lot, and as the Sheriff I think he can really help us the most out of this er... bind. But at the same time getting close to authority like that is really troubling and I think he has a lot of internalized homophobia too. Or at least more than anyone else I’ve seen. But he also seems like he can be kind and would care about our situation a lot. OOOO I wonder if I can turn this into a poll... I haven’t had a reason to do one yet, this could fit!!! But yeah, I don’t know for sure.  I’m leaning towards Cliff and Nikolai the most. William 3rd, Murdoch 4th. But I’m still not sure.

The Smoke Room spoilers;

GUYS I'M SCREAMING AND FREAKING OUT OH MY GOOOOOOD!!!!!!

So like I said, I have been playing The Smoke Room, and I am loving it. I ended up choosing Cliff's route since he's an adorable and earnest boy and I can't help but <3 him.

HOWEVER I DID NOT EXPECT THIS!!!!

So this is a map of the region of Echo from Avery's parents, and specifically his great great grandfather whom tracked where all the bonfires the Meseta people left behind... (These bonfires were places of safety and refuge, where they didn't feel at all threatened)

The FUCKED (and DEEPLY INTERESTING) part however is that the area surrounding the LAND of Echo, there was NEVER a bonfire in...

You guessed it.

A circle.

"You're always going in circles."

The Meseta people also know the land of Echo as 'evil'. This is so unbelievably interesting and fascinating to me. Oh my goodness. I have to think about the implications and theories for a while, now.

Unrelated side note;

I have really been enjoying Cliff's route. What I DIDN'T expect was the addition of Murdoch, too. It has given me quite a shine to him, as well, and I think it's AMAZING that the Echo Project was able to interweave another character like this into a character's route, and also the potential for this kind of throuple is fascinating to me. I haven't gotten much further than Murdoch's proposition, but I'm starting to get feelings™ because these 3 have found each other in such a desolate place, and I can see a deep and emotional bond forming for all three of them. And that's beautiful, especially given the time period they ended up in.

The Smoke Room has been fucking amazing and I just love these developments and characters I have been seeing. SPOILERS FOR LEO'S ROUTE/ECHO

But I am FILLED with dread knowing how Leo's route ended, and how Sam/Chase specifically called out Echo for hurting his loved ones: William, Cliff, Nik, and Murdoch. I'm scared. x-x What. Happens?
