The Riddles of SexyJay

A short while ago, @SexyJay came into the CapeRadio global chat channel and began posting some fascinating and cryptic information about what we might be able to see in the future of City of Heroes.

I'll post the complete text here. What secrets might be uncovered from the deciphering of these tantalizing riddles?

Quote:
Capesters of the night, we're going to begin soon, looking into the secrets of the unknown and the arcane. The power of the mind controls the show, but it's the whims of the many players that causes the myst to grow. I'll begin the chant when all are ready and on my command your wishes they must be ready. Here we go now, I'll warm up the magic, get what you will together and soon we'll start.
O Crystal Ball put together with tape, and glue; I am simply the messenger while the players wishes bring to you the true. Wanders with Mystic forces I command, show us what is in store with their future plans... I have spoken of what was shown in the past with what looked to be Atlantis, Pirates, Sheathes, Weapon Staffs. Costumes galore, options, powers, Incarnates and more, but what else could there be with so many here tonight? It's starting to glow everyone -- begin the feeding now without delay, I can't control it for long so we'll see how it sustains.. -- Give me now and we'll all see...

Here we are, the myst is reacting! Is everyone ready? The suspense is killing! My sexiness I do force in and the images that are showing though thin, will give us insight and now.. here it is, the first to your desires, your dreams of 2011; I see figures.
Yes! Figures, in a ball room setting? Is that a chandalier both beautiful and diamond? What is this function, I've never seen this place before. Somewhere new, with an older feeling. A throwback beyond the ages, where Might and Power were dealt with a Kingdom's clash; Knightly figures in more than a Tux. Elegant dresses, necklaces of pearls, could this be a dance also that requires more than one? A huge endowment of both lace and silk, along the floor does the King and Queen's outfits sit. Tails on make out are gathering around with weapons drawn from their scabs, at their thighs some cracks of a whip as the candlelight room just went dim. The darkness is returning, the myst is reforming, from what I just saw I cannot imagine. But there is indeed a deep emoting.. and now the darkness sits, it's slowly churning, I wonder what is next in our Nightly Journey..
WAIT! Now, it's not over, The myst is coming back into focus. I am seeing something, something different, not like what I have seen before. It's the future but not Praetoria, but something a lot more. I believe I see in the distance as the years pages do turn a brand new focus where shiny is the new green. I'm not quite sure, my freaky darlings, just what it is that I am looking at. The clouds are blocking most of the sunlight, but there in the sliver of light I do see metallic images shimmering, moving..There seems to be the glowing eyes and pieces of armor, they have almost a neon touch but pulsating brighter. I can see now these figures moving through rubble, pursuing fleeing individuals. I can't pinpoint their exact origin but I can tell you now it's not a place I'd want to be alone. These gigantic creatures, no, they look like player run? robotic features, moving swiftly, one just shot into the air. A permanent fixture yet to move from their spine, and rotating around them is a weapon I am not familiar, it's some type of energy beam caught in a terrible rapture. A beautiful display these ions do show but at closer look this ring brings less than life as the cornered trio is now vanished, the myst did not hold, I'm sorry my darlings. It looks like we're onto something else, something with eyes of crimson I can now see almost as if this beast is staring back at me..I got chills...

Here we go, the myst is rotating, it's shifting into a figure I have seen before. Fur rustles in the wind as this creature runs over the ruins. A shift, like before, I can see it with my own eyes, it's body is molding in midjump. It landed from four feet to two, nimble as a cat and silent too. A stalker of the most truest fashion, darting now out of a search light from what though? Something in the sky, elevated way too high, I cannot make out this imposing creation but something tells me it's alien in nature. Possibly looking for an escapee but she is light on her feet and it seems as I can turn the ball, her movement is quicker than the light's draw. She's rushing now in a bound into the air and what was perhaps fur to human is now feathers and in flight she disappeared... the darkness is returning, but I want to see more! The ball is cracking but I will not give in just yet. Keep feeding this orb as I am sure it's not done...

Here it comes, I'm holding it together! The slight is seeping, pouring out! But I will endure for your all sanity and what is left of mine. Show us more of what they want! Here! The image is focusing, we're going in faster! It's hard to tell but I will muster! There, it's breaking, the dawn's light is showing. A sea is shining below with the surface glistening, and what looks to be a pulsing pillar but it's under assault! What is that sound? Cannon fire? From where? No an explosion! The pillar just fell to the ground! Resistence is there but they are not attacking the Praetorian Police?! I see a faction on the beach breaking down a protective feature I believe! There, it is! Pounding fists, raging storms, there are wooden things throughout the air! I see martial artists from far and near, is that a blaster? Groups of eight wearing clothing I have never seen with a Master at the helm! All are gathering to the sound of domination, a wolf's beckoning is harking and the sides are clashing. But I now see, as I stare down from my aerial flight, I see tentacles rising from the depths. I hear the cry that silences all and from the depths come... Oh No... Darlings.. it's can't be, If I am seeing what I think I am... the future is grim, all must gather to stand against the return of ... Wait! NO! Come back! The image is fading too fast! Everything is blending, and the ball is intense! The heat pouring out is causing an alarm! Hit the deck my Sexy Capesters it's going to blow!!!

It's gone... the ball went up in smoke, all that is left is a pile of residue. It seems your wants, needs, and desires was too much power for it to maintain. And I have soot in places most obscene. Well, that was the nightly adventure. I'm exhausted and I don't even know where to begin. All I can say is the hints were given, and it's up to you all to figure out. Many in plain sight, some hidden in rhyme; the only question is now - Can you figure it out.. In time? I'm going now, for a shower and a scrub. But Don't worry, as these type of adventures have been happening all across the Servers. You'll never know when or how maybe even why, all that is known is when it happens just give it a try.
I can see a few obvious hints in there, but perhaps some people with more in-depth knowledge of CoH lore than mine might be able to draw even more brilliant conclusions?

I look forward to seeing what people come up with.

we were discussing this in another thread, jay is very good at cryptic comments(he told us about the valkyrie costume set by referencing led zepplin's "immigrant song") so dont expect clear answers,, and that is probably why he is allowed to post this stuff, clear info would likely mess up marketing strategies of when the scheduled information is to come out,and could tip off competitors about coh's mid to long term plans. but if it takes a mixture of Robitussin and vodka to comprehend, then its all good. the bottom line is we will know only after it comes out, then we can look back and say "thats what the heck that meant" so dont consider anything here etched in stone, just bask in the unfiltered weirdness that is jay.

remember jay, you try to leave like the others and i will tackle you and drag you back.

Set in stone? Nah.

Tantalizing enough to get me REALLY excited? Absolutely.

When he makes proper anthro parts; then I'll care.

And there's a fine line between 'cryptic' and 'waffle'.

I believe what I have quoted is a reference to the Leviathan, as this is a partial description below:

"His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth."

As it currently exists in the game, has a Strike Force involvin' some aspect o' it, and there's been some recent content concernin' it and it's creation.

Fancy king and queen outfits, scabbards, whips (!), giant player controlled robots (!?), an alien spaceship tracking down someone furry, perhaps an animal counterpart to Ninja Run, a clash with the Praetorian Devouring Earth, and the Coming Storm. That's what I got.


@Demobot

Also on Steam

 

Posted

Possibly Praetorian Hamidon instead of the Coming Storm. Or maybe it's connected.


 

Posted

I think I picked out a few references to the I20 incarnate trial thats been teased, the escape from Mother Mayhems hospital iirc.


 

Posted

Some of that might be a hint to a Steam Punk pack David seems to be hinting at over here. And I'd guess the paragraph with the fur bits is hints to an Animal booster pack.

My sarcasmometer is reading "1006" on this one.

No, wait, it's upside down!!!

This bit has to be about some kind of new time travel content

And quite possibly long dresses and robe

My brain read "crowns" from that line.

The "could this be a dance also that requires more than one" line makes me think of a tango, but I'm not sure that's correct

I was pretty sure it was an assault on her hospital, not an escape, but who knows. Maybe both.

That's more or less what I got too. The alien's perhaps Rikti, or a new alien? Evil khelds or something?

But even though that stuff seems to be in there, and perhaps some glowy bits too if you look at the bit about the neon, I don't "trust" it... It seems a little too obvious for Jay in all his Sexy glory and so I think there must be other layers going on there...

I think there's some confusion between the Incarnate Trial raid on the BAF, and a separate event at Mother Mayhem's asylum.

From four legs to two? Oh please dont let the council/5th column be in Praetoria too . . . . . . . . .

Return of the hami! Wooooo!

How about the plain meaning form? A dance emote that lets two people dance together.


 

Posted

Something about that screams 'Carnival of Shadows' to me. Is Vanessa DeVore's mask linked to the Well? Can we expect an Incarnate trial somewhere in Venice a few hundred years ago perhaps?

As for new animal skeletons, I'll believe it when I see it. I fear that Damz's prediction is unfortunately more on the mark.

New costumes pieces for weapons to be drawn from. Perhaps some more fancy, ballroom gown pieces like the wedding pack. A new dance emote that requires two to tango.

More reflective armor pieces and pieces that glow, like the resistance uniforms and mutant pack. Some kind of energy cannon strapped to your back.

Hmmm . . . either a beast run power that runs on all fours or a new shapeshifting AT like kheldians, but with an animal theme. And this beast is being chased by an alien ship -- perhaps Rikti or the Coming Storm.

I'm willing to bet it's a Super booster with furred and feathered pieces, if you want I'll PM why.

Honestly that bit sounds more like the fall of Ouroboros, which has a sea below, a Pillar of Ice and Flame, and we know it gets attacked by a creature with tentacles. And the groups of 8 are probably standard teams, maybe the Master at the helm means an actual raid team mechanics.
