...something that I'd always dismissed. My reasons for dismissing it had a lot to do with Moonlight Laboratory. Moonlight Laboratory has clear connections to Wordplay (both in lyrics and in video), and Wordplay has clear (well, clear-ish) connections to Clockwork Lullaby in the form of the Lu Li La theme and the lyrics, "Teach me the words like always". Lyrics, may I add,  that change tuning at the end to match the tuning of Clockwork Lullaby. I would also argue that we have a somewhat distinct order for these songs (if no place to put it) that seems to go Wordplay, Clockwork Lullaby, Moonlight Laboratory. This mostly has to do with the lyric order in Wordplay, and the fact that Moonlight Laboratory pretty much bluntly states that it is after the other two.

As it turns out,  the fact that Moonlight Laboratory pretty much bluntly states that is after the other two turns out to be important. Assuming for a second that Clockwork Lullaby takes place just before Capriccio Farce and Co, that would mean that Moonlight Laboratory takes place after Capriccio Farce and Co. In other words, it does not nessecarily mean that Clockwork Lullaby's singer could not be Waiter.This has several implications:

1) The vessals of sin (or at least of pride) survive punishment.

2) Moonlight Laboratory does not have anything to do with ghoul children as we know them.  ( This does not mean that it will not have things to do with ghoul children that we are not aware of yet.)

3) Moonlight Laboratory did not take place in the dawn of time (self-evident but still worth mentioning)

4) Someone taught Pride words seperately from the rest of the vessals, and maybe before it awakened properly

Now,  to talk  about the evidence for Waiter singing Clockwork Lullaby. A lot of this has been previously discussed, so I'm not going to dig it all up again. Basically, there are yrics in  Clockwork Lullaby that parrot those in Re_Birthday, as does the drawing, ect. What I do want to discuss is a) a vessal of sin is not human and would need to be taught words and b) an interesting connection between the lyrics of Daughter of Evil and Clockwork Lullaby.

So a) has been discussed before, but I haven't seen it recently, so I'm going to bring it up again. Vessals of sin are not human. There is no reason  to believe that a vessal of sin would know anything about speech. Why would they? They are a vessal of sin. So it is completely believable that they would need to be taught speech.

So now to b). The lyrics I want to point out go: "I took the toy that I always wanted and threw it out the window" (Clockwork Lullaby) and "How the paradise that she created for herself put this broken doll right back on the wooden shelf" (Daughter of Evil, about Riliane). There is an interesting theme here;  the destruction of a toy, seemingly because the toy did not have value to the owner. While the first toy, the "broken doll", seems to refer to Riliane herself. However, looking at it from  the point of view of the Evillious Chronicles itself, Allen would have been the doll. Allen was Riliane at that point. He was the Daughter of Evil and Riliane escaped, so he would have been the toy  at that point. Now what toy did the Waiter throw away? Her Kingdom? Yes, but Riliane isn't shown regretting that, or at least not for a while. What is the thing that she regrets loosing? That's right, it's Allen. Hmm, well that's interesting, isn't it? That would indicate that both toys are Allen.

So what I'm wondering is if perhaps we have Vessal of Sin (Wordplay), Vessal of Sin + Riliane (or at least part of her) (Clockwork Lullaby), Vessal of Sin (without Riliane) (Moonlight Laboratory). If this is the case, what causes Pride to drop some of Riliane's chararistics? Or are those charastics taken from  her?

I realize that this probably makes no sense, so I'm going to stop torturing people now. In case you can't tell from  the jumble above, I do believe that Clockwork Lullaby's singer is Waiter, but I am not completely sure that Wordplay and Moonlight Laboratory's singer are, though they all have the same singer. But that paradox is a discussion for another night.
