The Mystery of Jennifer's Bunk Bed in Rule of Rose

[jennyjoe798]

I'm just noting that on the airship, where the bed says "New Girl" her pillow is on the floor. Now that that would make any difference or not, but you never know. The pile of brown stuff might be leaves? Or dirt? Dirt from the funeral burial? Something like that maybe?

[MotherRanma]

It does make sense as her room on the airship was the "filth" room and the children were told to place the wash in the filth room, which looks she has dirty clothes on her bed.

[chelseaangelandollie]

I had always thought that pile on the top bunk bed was a pile of nasty animal guts. And with the violence of the game, that didn't shock me. But now that you said you could tell they were just leaves,I think I need a TV with better quality. I have a terrible TV anyway because my better one blew out a few months ago :( But to tell you the truth, I don't think the programers want us to know all the details! Because they didn't give enough information on the story what-so-ever. But not a bad game!

Well, in my mind, I thought that Jennifer was accepted and even welcomed into the orphanage until Wendy found out about Brown, then started the Aristocrat Club simply to shun her because of that. So Jen had her own bunk until she got Brown, then was moved to the "Filth Room".

@PointsofData

The problem with that idea, in my opinion, is that getting a private room, and getting a large bed rather than a small bunk, seems more like a privilege than a shunning punishment. And there is nothing filthy about the Filth Room once the dirty clothes rack has been moved out into the hall (as we see in the orphanage).

Also, Jen found Brown while Hoffman was still running the orphanage. Wouldn't changes in living arrangements need to be Hoffman's doing?

[PointsofData]

@RuleOfRoseMysteries Hmm true...ha. I've been stalking your blog and these videos after I posted that; really makes ya think. :)

[RedJacketCapcomKid]

I was always confused by this cause the bunk bed said new girl but they always placed her in the filth room but on the airship there is no bed in the filth room, but theres one in the orphanage and I always thought that they hated her so much that they gave her her own room, cause they didn`t want to sleep in the same room with her, if thats not Jennifer`s bed then whos is it?

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

@RedJacketCapcomKid

I've written some blog-posts proposing the hypothesis that the Filth Room was converted into a bedroom for Clara, so that Mr. Hoffman could visit Clara in secret, or, perhaps more likely, so that she could visit him in secret without the other orphans seeing her away from her bed. Jennifer would have moved in only after Clara "disappeared". Martha's ghost is seen in Clara's airship cabin, so maybe the orphans thought the Filth Room was haunted and made Jennifer sleep there

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

By the way, everybody, with high-resolution screen-caps having become available (see my blog), it is now clear that the "stuff" on top of Jennifer's bed is a pile of leaves.

[YMI4NSpace]

just the way that you comment on this game makes the whole thing even more creepy. . . i love it

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

@YMI4NSpace

I'm happy to be adding to the enjoyment of the game. :D

[selty]

So I am confused as to why people are arguing that the Orphanage and the Airship are the same. Isn't it a given that they are? I thought that the airship was a re-imagining of the Orphanage from a young child's perspective that melded with the games that they play as well as her tragic accident.

[MrFendkg287316]

where did u got that big needle? 

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

@MrFendkg287316

It becomes available when Jennifer puts on the nurse's uniform.

[Stormybue]

i think Wendy found out Jenifer was hiding Food for Brown and Rip the Blanket off the Bed in Jellousy Rage and when Mr. HoffMan and Clara disipeared(got Murdered by the Orphans becouse 1. Diana got tired of mr hoffman molasing her and 2. Clara was the only Girl who didn't join the RCA) letting Jenifer have da Filthy Room

maybe a remberence of Fall playing in the leaves and piling where she Sleeped in them like a bed (i know dats what the leaves remind me of maybe the same for Jenifer)

[zippygrl]

i think the reason the blanket is thrown off could mean this was when Wendy discovered Jennifer's secret of smuggling food to Brown. she might have come in assuming Jennifer was hiding something and then pulled the blanket off in a jealous rage .

if you look in Brown's shed where his collar is you will find a wheelbarrow with footprints leading in and long lines which match the wheelbarrow's wheels

so either this was Jennifer sneaking food to Brown OR Wendy kidnapping him to "take him out"

[bordkid]

I think that everything Jennifer does on the airship is related to the orphanage, because there are too many similarities to just be a coincidence. There is a filth room at the orphanage and on on the airship. Jennifer also sleeps in both of them. In cut scenes of the game, when you are on the airship the cut scenes take place at the orphanage.

[Sempumaru]

im still a bit comfused about this game.... i finish the game and everything, but i cant really make out what is the reality and what are her memories. can you help me with that

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

@Sempumaru

In my opinion, the challenge we are given in this game is to try to figure out the true events of Jennifer's past from the clues that we find hidden within in the fantasy-distortions of Jennifer's re-emerging memories. My videos and, especially, my blog-posts are attempts to meet this challenge.

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

I agree.

[styloetpapier]

A far-fetched theory about the brown pile on the bed: Perhaps it is food that Jennifer found for brown that she kept hidden? Before the kill-the-dog incident, one of the Aristocrats may have piled the food on Jennifer's bed and scattered it nearby as a warning. The thrown-off sheet may symbolize the violence of their intentions. I'm not too sure about this, as I have never played the game myself, and only watched the gameplay.

[Fuckingflesheater]

Keep up the great videos man:)! I visit your website everyday

[fatalframe95]

:) I agree with this but Margret (forgot the House-Keepers name... think that was it) moved Jennifer to the back room after a while I think..

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

@fatalframe95

The housekeeper was named Martha.

I think that Mr. Hoffman turned the Filth Room into a bedroom for Clara (to make it easier for him to have sex with her), and that, after the disappearances of Hoffman and Clara, Jennifer eventually moved into that room.

I've written some blog-posts that piece this theory together.

[RuleOfRoseMysteries]

I recorded a voice-over, that must've inadvertently been lost from the video above, that called attention to the fact that we see Diana both in the dormitory and the crew's cabin. These are areas (or, rather, two aspects of the same area) associated with Diana, much as both the airship library, and the orphanage library, are associated with Meg.

[Squishy876]

Maybe that thing on top is the sack she was stuffed in?

[Sandhand02]

When was Jennifer stuffed in a sack? I recall this happening to Brown, but not Jennifer

[Squishy876]

It was a cut scene remember? She was stuffed in a bag and everyone put bugs in with her.

[NeferNaklah]

I agree it's her bunk bed since it's also behind a table like the one on the airship.

[MangaEngel]

It would make sense.

Especially since Jennifer was kind of bullied and it seems like that one bed you think is her's is full of dirt from the ground.

That would fit that image just perfect, I would say

[RamenBreath]

i get what you are showing here. the similarity is definitely there.
