In all of the discussion of alchemy and the symbols, has hermeticism come up? Seems potentially relevant.

Does this black symbol on a dark grey background :britt: (click on it to see it clearly) look like the symbols (#'s 2 & 4 on Jannit's awesome attachment) on Inks head? Alternate I'm not sure of the top of it (the s part which is sometimes a snake)
Personally, i don't think Ink feels threatened by any of the survivors. In chapter 11, Ink laughed at them before he jumped out of the (2nd or 3rd?) floor. To me, that doesn't sound like he's threatened, it feels like he thinks its a game, and he is confident he will win.
I'm starting to see a lot of references to voodooism, "protection" and biology/chemistry in these tattoos....
I have some possibilities on some of the symbols.
It hit me earlier that a few of these sounded American Indian, and when looking at them in this light, i found a few matches. Some make sense, but but the others not so sure.
A fish on fire. Stands for plentiful fish, or many fish.

Bird foot. Besides birds, it means good omen and convey authority... and there is always the link to the crows of this story.

A three-lines rainbow with a five-lined fan beneath it. It means rain.

This one i'm not sure about, and I was hesitant about adding it but When i saw it I instantly thought of the description, so I brought it here to be discussed.
i wonder if We're Alive was a TV show, would we be doing all of this research?
i think the audio drama makes this so much more fun. frustrating at times, yes, but TONS of fun.
Hi guys,
I'm just catching up on all the forum posts. There is a whole lot to discuss after this episode. I actually had tears in my eyes listening to it.
I'm left with an image of Ink as a Games Master. He's constructed his individual playthings out of what he had available, then left them in the ring to let them fight it out amongst themselves until a few of the 'best' specimens survive.
Is he doing the same with the humans? I guess the question is, what's his intention. Is he just orchestrating all of this for his own amusement, or is there an ultimate goal?
