These lips are sealed
Anyone noticed those ribbons have lips pictured on it, and is on the same place where the head gets cut off.
When bigby say it could have been something very sharp or maybe magic.
From my understanding is when a worker girl ties that ribbon on her throat they are unable to answer anything related to the buisniss. You can see the little mermaid having trouble to say what she wants to say.
From what im able to get is when a working girl speaks up the ribbon might slice your head off.
Or is this far fetched?

That's a good theory, but I don't see why Lily would talk about the business on the night she died. Also, Faiths ribbon ended up in her mouth and I think someone deliberately placed it there though i guess that could be part of the spell.
well we didn't see a ribbon on her body so maybe she broke the rules and tossed it away.
Yeah... She probably knew the consequences but it must've been something so urgent that she had to.
What if Crane took it off during his little fantasy?
dammit ur rit that way her lips wouldn't be sealed anymore, then he can really do anything to her.....wink. No seriously I think ur rit. Thumbs up for being a great detective man.
I love this site.
Haha thanks a lot. I try.
I love the theory and I'm almost shure that it's real.Hope we'll find out the answers in the ep 3.
it is more likely that wearing the ribbon prevents them from telling their secrets and can't be removed. I doubt that it would kill them if they spoke up ... why not just have a spell that prevents them from telling their secrets as supposed to a spell where they can tell their secret at the cost of death ... that will just attract the unwanted attention through the investigation of the deaths. It is similar to the Animal Farm story line where Weyland is unable to tell Snow how to free him from his shackle, but then finds a loophole.
The ribbon could be magically sharp, and if someone takes it off...
So is Narissa next then? She did have a purple ribbon around her neck just like Faith...
u know what I think the next ppl to get killed r Nirissa or that blond girl in the front entrance of the Pudding and Pie. probably not im just guessing.
If there's a murderer, then we probably haven't met him yet because TellTale keeps changing who it is every time we figure it out.
you are missing the point. If you are the person creating the spell you don't want it coming back to bite you in the ass. The purpose of the spell is to keep the prostitutes from revealing the identities of their johns or secrets that could potentially endanger the business. Having the prostitutes die means one less prostitute = less revenue for the pimp who I presume is the one having the ribbons placed on the necks.
wait is that why they took so dam long to make ep 2? dam then maybe we should stop talking. lol TellTale is like dammit don't these ppl have anything better to do? their ruining everything lol yeah I can imaging.
If you read the comic then you would know that the series does not work like a typical detective story. Actually the first story arc is the only one that comes close to a detective story and the outcome is not 'so and so is the killer'. I for one hope they aren't changing the story just so we are surprised by the end result. This would without a doubt create a weaker story over all.
if they don't change the story then and keep it like the comic, then all the comic book fans already know whats going to happen, I read some of the comic on Wiki, and they said a lot about Crane.
The spell is meant to prevent prostitutes from spilling secrets, and if its taken off then they're free to say whatever. I'm pretty sure the girls know the magic behind the ribbon, and I don't think they'd be stupid enough to take it off themselves.
no a lot the characters in the game never appeared in the comic. A lot of people have speculated that the events of the game are what leads to Cranes departure from fable town and it makes sense. As far as the rest of the story who knows what is going to end up happening it is left fairly wide open. We can only speculate on the fates of Bigby, Snow, Beauty & Beast, Crane and Bufkin because they appear in the series
whoever placed the spell on the prostitutes wants them alive as a source of income why would they add this crazy beheading aspect to the spell, when they could just have it so the ribbon can't be removed by them or anyone else. It is more likely that the girls were beheaded so that the ribbon could be removed, or it was removed by someone who was powerful enough to do so in order to get information and then the girls were killed afterwards
"Arrowify agrees with your theory"
Crane however only appears once, and is never heard or seen before or after that issue. I have a feeling that Bigby will meet Cinderella and then we found out what Bigby read in issue 22 of the comics. Bufkin, Snow, Bigby, Beauty, Beast, Toad, Colin, Bluebeard, and Jack are the only ones that for a fact are alive in the comic's main storyline excluding the issues that show the past.
toad is not in the comics
He only shows up once, fighting the wooden soldiers
r those the guys that Geppetto made so they would be more loyal then Pinocchio was? sorry did a lot of research very interesting comic.
I don't think the "These lips are sealed" spell has anything to do with the ribbon, cuz when we ask the mirror to show Faith, he says he can't, and she didn't have a ribbon on.
Yes.
dammit now I have to come up with some other idea why they say that thanks a lot. no im not mad good job man.:)
I'm pretty sure he said that because that's the only way he can explain the spell.
That's a very good theory! And I did notice the lip print on the ribbon, too!!! Of course, I also think Faith's asking of whether or not Wolf liked her ribbon wasn't just a coincidence, either. In fact, when I had Bigby reply "If you don't answer my questions, I can't help you." Faith's said: "I'm answering them the best I can." I really think she was trying to give him a hint when she indicated that accessory around her neck... Actually, now that I think about it [EP. 2 SPOILER], maybe the reason why there was a ribbon in her mouth and not Lily's is because Faith put it there herself right before she was killed-- either to hide its 'meaning' from the killer for whatever reason or in hopes that someone like Bigby Wolf would find it as evidence to help provide a lead for the case whenever her body would be found. I know it's definitely a far stretch. I'm just throwing some ideas out there... Like when Bigby visits the pimp and finds the letter in the dressing room that's from Lily, who thanked Faith for taking over her shift one night; so maybe that's when Faith was killed, when she took Lily's shift and the killer was mad that it wasn't who he was looking for (be it specifically Lily or whoever was supposed to be glamored as Snow White). I'm not saying Faith's murder happened in the bedroom. I do believe that was when Lily was killed sometime afterwards when she was back on shift. Then, the killer left Crane's pictures for Bigby to find. I think the first two murders were exposed the way they were as a message from the killer to Crane-- sort of like a way of saying, "I know what you're really doing and if you don't do 'such-&-such', I'll expose you for the creep you really are!" I think the killer wants to either make Fabletown fall apart at the seams for good or just make it look that way to the locals in order to eventually lead an uprising that'll benefit the killer in some way-- like gain power/authority or something... I'm talking too much again, aren't I? Damn it!!!
While you did kind of ramble on, I think you are on to something suggesting that the story isn't really about who murdered the girls, but why are they being murdered. This is much more in line with how the comics are written. Crane is being framed most likely by someone who wants him out of office. Who wants him out of office and why do they want him gone?
It's clear Bluebeard wants him out of office because he wants to be in charge. I already went over this theory in my head and it seemed a little obvious but it is a possibility.
Hope so that actually sounds cool
that could be a possibility. Bluebeard + decapitation fits. However, in the comics Bluebeard has not committed any crimes since leaving the homeworlds. if he is behind the murders, then there would have to be a reason why he is allowed to stay. Also Bluebeard is a suspect in the first Fables story arc. Using him again in essentially the same manner doesn't make sense.
Is there any pictures that have the lip marks on the ribbon? I've never noticed it before. Maybe my TV is too dark to notice something like that.
If they were just after the ribbons, why leave it it Faith's mouth? Why would anyone kill over a ribbon that was already programmed specifically for prostitutes?
I do argee with the rest of your post though.
I can back your theory up with the fact that Faith's ribbon didn't have blood on it, which means it didn't cut her neck.
Crane's only appearance in the comics ain't completely clear. Though there is a lot that suggests that we will see what exactly happens. The best part is we will see it from Bigby's perspective and not Cindy's. I wonder what tale Telltale thought of also.
The shift that Faith took over was The Woodsman.
Woody was a Lily's regular, that's why he beated Faith, because she was not what he "asked" for.
I am not sure, but when we ask Dee who his boss is, he says that he CAN'T say... I don't know if ot has something to do with "these lips are sealed", but i thought it was kinda strange... Maybe it has something to do with the Crooked Man?
The Crooked Man is his old boss, not his current boss. He's a hired criminal. His current boss is Crane. Roughen Dee up and ask him what Faith stole, Crane will indicate himself.
oh, good to know, thanks
