VoxTopic: Vincent's Final Meeting (by the Numbers)
For the purpose of providing this information to anyone in the fandom who might care to know, I decided to take a quick screenshot of Vincent's final meeting and actually count the number of people in attendance! I've seen people offer wildly variable numbers here, from just twenty or so all the way up to two hundred, and I wanted to pin it down a bit more precisely. The shot I've taken for reference is the widest one we get of the meeting, and includes all the people who were there to listen to him speak:
Because some of the people's outlines aren't completely distinct, the count isn't perfect, but based on this shot, we can see there were roughly 100 people at Vincent's final presentation - in fact, precisely because the count isn't perfect, I personally prefer to round it down to an even hundred, with Vincent himself being the hundred and first. That's a lot of people to convince to stand in ankle-deep water! - and a lot of people to electrocute all at once! Heck, with a number like that, Vincent's final kill count in life might even be higher than Alastor's! I wonder if any of them survived...?
Because I could, I also took the liberty of counting the number of TVs Vincent had strung up around the aquarium for his big moment. Turns out he rigged more than fifty, at least one TV for every two guests! He certainly does love his spectacle!
Final counts:
Followers Present: ~ 100+
Televisions Present: 50+
Bonus: My favorite bit of foreshadowing in this season, from the same scene:
Little fishy followers all imminently heading for their graves....
So I know a lot of the lore and everything but also, was there a specific reason we know them all to be standing in water? I’ve heard the theory that it was a drink-the-koolaid/heavens gate kinda ordeal, but I’ve also heard that it wasn’t. Do we have any clarification on that? 🥺
