Jadusable: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines - Rosa

Group: 0 - Canon
Name: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines - Rosa

Artist: Jadusable
Series: Prologue
Year: 2009
Description: No one has put this up yet so I figured I'd take the liberty and do it. This is what happens when you encounter Rosa in the beginning of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines in Santa Monica, and shortly after talking to her you end up being drowned in dialogue. What follows is a rather creepy and cryptic conversation about the player and his future. Several of the things she alludes to are kind of vague, though, like the lone wolf, but her sporadic facial expressions coupled with her fourth wall breakage definitely spooked the hell out of me when I first played the game at night stoned. 

 This is the very post ever made by the man we know today as Jadusable.  Before his encounter with the Haunted Cartridge and the mysterious old man, he played two games and uploaded moments to YouTube.  This is the first.

An altered, more detailed version of Alex Hall's post on Within Hubris:

On September 07, 2010, when day four.wmv was first released, Jadusable only had two other videos on his YouTube channel. One of them was a cryptic prediction scene involving a character named Rosa, taken from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and the other was random gameplay footage from Prototype.

Both of these videos were uploaded in the summer of 2009, before the events of the Haunted Cartridge began.

While the Prototype video was seemingly standard fare for a gaming channel on YouTube, the Bloodlines video was almost curiously out-of-place. All it contained was the dialogue of an unimportant character from a game released in 2003, and that was the full extent of it. Rosa, in Bloodlines, has a mutation that gives her the ability to predict the future; when the player talks to her, she gives cryptic clues as to what that game's plot will be.

At first, she was only a side-thought to those desperately trying to help save Jadusable from the haunted cartridge, but as the story progressed, people began to notice there were some disturbing similarities between Rosa's cryptic messages and what was happening to Jadusable.

“[...] after talking to her you end up being drowned in dialogue. [...] several of the things she alludes to are kind of vague, though, like the lone wolf. [...] when I first played the game at night stoned.”

The video description itself contained hidden words that were central to the haunting - "drowned," "stoned," "lone wolf," and "fourth wall," and viewers suddenly realized that it was too much of a coincidence to be unrelated...
