Iāve just noticed that Maria Ushiromiya drops the traditional Maria persona outright during Legend of the Golden Witch after the 6 chosen by the Key are killed.
If Maria Ushiromiya is Miyao Mitake like I suspect then her abrupt change in personality is Miyaoās true self taking over after Hanyuu ditched her Body(the Miyao seen in the physical world of Ciconiaās setting is treated by the Miyao in the Data World as an AI which Miyao starts suspecting is true so it could be the Miyao in the physical World is infact Hanyuu/Beatrice).
No wonder Bernkastelās Game says Maria couldnāt hurt anyone if Shannon is possessing the Body herself.
Rika would be possessing the ready-made Body created by the Factory and call herself Chloe Ironside.
Rika naturally would be more than willing to get her hands dirty unlike Hanyuu who is suffering from immense guilt and overwhelmed by the Hinamizawa Syndrome(Inori Mikazuki goes Au Au like Hanyuu and is affected by the Hinamizawa Syndrome and eventually starts scratching out her throat suggesting that Au Au is infact a verbal tick by shy people while under the Hinamizawa Syndrome).
Maria mocking everyone for not knowing the secret knowledge of the Occult would simply be Miyao mocking everyone for not knowing anything about Ryuun-Ohc and deciding to educate everyone from Hinamizawa about the details(scaring her mother Vier Dreissig who is possessing Satoko).
Rika of course understands why Miyao is so creepy thanks being aware of him/her being Hanyuuās host who has to witness Hanyuu in Miyao being abused by the Ciconia Gamemaster for even the slightest Au Au(a sign of someone who is not supposed to be there inhabiting one of the Game Piecesā Body). Rika isnāt even acknowledged since she acts the way she is supposed to.
Rika of course knows full well that the Game Master abused Miyao for switching between personas.
The Game Master in the Gameboard represented by Turn of the Golden Witch naturally abuses Miyao once she suddenly acts like his/her true self to see if it is the interloper faking it.
Miyao not relenting thus proving his/her true identity results in the Game Master dropping everything and getting Eua to remove Vier Satoko from the Gameboard before moving over to abusing Hanyuu upon spotting her Spirit until she leaves upon which she soon discovers Rika taking out Okonogi and suspects her and with the help of the 4 Kings goes straight to attempting to remove Rika from the Gameboard.
Miyao wants the 4 Kings gone and gets Adult Hanyuu to dispose of them.
The Game Master gets rid of Adult Hanyuu who convinces Miyao to ditch the Game Master for the 1st Gameboard to the Game Masterās desperate horror.
Case in point on Eua and Vier Satoko appearing on the Gameboard of Ciconia is implied by Seshat heading to an underground facility to wake someone up so that they can ācall back those twoā.
The person she is trying to awaken in the underground facility might even be either Hanyuu(which would kick her out of Miyao Mitake right at the start of Ciconia Phase two just like how Maria ditched her Cute Persona upon arriving at Rokkenjima in Turn of the Golden Witch) or Featherine Augustus Aurora.
Figuring out that Lambdadelta and Bernkastel are causing problems with the Gameboard might be enough to get them and all trace of Hinamizawa they give off removed so that Seshat can continue the game eternally.
Seshat is keeping the Gameboard nightmarish so that she can continue the Game despite the Bottle Message known as Turn of the Golden Witch mentioning the downfall of the Gameboard.
Incidentally End of the Golden Witch describes George, Jessica, Maria, Genji and Rosa being killed on the First Twilight with Krauss being next after being taken from Natsuhi followed by Hideyoshi going down due to lamenting the loss of George.
In otherwords the Ciconia Setting loses itās most needed player due to Lambdadelta and Bernkastel rescuing the Heroes of the Story(Vier Satoko, Rika, Hanyuu, Ryuun-Ohc and Miyao Mitake) leading to the Ciconia setting to just become dead furniture causing Seshatās worst fears to be realized in a manner unprecedented(as in against the prophecy of Legend of the Golden Witch or Turn of the Golden Witch).
Then things head into Higurashi Gou/Sotsu entering part two of the Rokkenjima Massacre where Eva/Hinamizawa takes out Rudolf/Lambdadelta and Kyrie/Bernkastel after they eliminate George/Rika and Jessica/Satoko upon Lambdadelta beating Bernkastel.
Eva/Hinamizawa adopts Euaās failure Ange Beatrice(Fragment Hanyuu) who becomes Kazuho Kimiyoshi.

I believe those were on the hunters tameable list for next expansion. Itās still uncertain, I canāt check I didānt win the beta lottery.
Back when Vanilla Classic was popular I helped so many of my Alliance friends obtain this creature as a non-combat pet. We call ourselves āthe Faerie Dragon Clanā
I donāt like how Retail changed the way to obtain it, nowadays. I like the Vanilla version, better.
I saw the colorations on petopia the vanilla ones are better. The ones coming out next expansion look exactly the same color variation just in different places of the fae dragon.
The regulator now has until March 1 to come to a final decision.
Microsoftās $69 Billion Activision Deal in UKās Crosshairs (msn.com)
Meaning they have until March to decide to finalize the deal?
RIP James Avery
It means the British regulatory bodies have until March 1 to arrive at a decision to approve or disallow the deal in Briton.
Man, things have been so slow lately, Iām ready for it to be November already
Presumably thatās when the expansion drops, but thereās also a number of unrelated real-life things happening in November and the suspense is killing me lol
A decent # of new games also coming out around November - everything seems to point to November being a busy month (both online and real-life)
Meanwhile, September and October be looking like
Enjoy the slow and boring times while they last. As a rule excitement is often not good and generally expensive. I worked for literally a half century to have a slow and boring retirement.
Good luck on your anticipated news this November.
Quite the opposite for me lol, Iām looking at potentially getting some money headed my way
Thereās a class action lawsuit Iāve been informed Iām a part of, and Iāve been following/keeping a close eye on it the past few months. Iām super grateful for random ācomments sectionā redditors bringing it to my attention and me being able to sign up before the ādeadlineā expired (phew!)
The āFinal Approval Hearingā is in the early weeks of November. Basically the TL;DR is that if the judge signs off on it, I might be getting up to a $42-43k refund headed back my way. If he doesnāt? Then rip
As you can probably imagine, itās constantly been on my mind and of course, āsuspenseā has been killing me That would be a nice chunk of change to have back in my pocket, but at the same time I also canāt help but worry that the judge might not approve it - either way Iām just in a big hurry to get to November already so I can know how it plays out one way or another
