Notes

In the photo to the right, "7" is printed above "13", perhaps meaning that "7" and "13" are intended to be two separate numbers (see Deus Ex Machina below).
"K713" is only used with Kerli, when the photos are of Vespertine, it's "713", suggesting that "K" could stand for "Kerli". However, this may be to obvious to be true.
After being asked "what's that number on your arm?713? what does it mean?", Kerli replied "K713. It's a secret". Perhaps intentionally correcting "713" to "K713".

Deus Ex Machina

Frequently, Vespertine attributes quotes as coming from something titled "Deus Ex Machina". On his Formspring account bio is the following quote:

Heed our cries--not faith, nor hope, nor angels from on high--but rather love--'tis love will save our souls

Also suggesting "7" and "13" as being separate numbers.

Vespertine quotes

It does stem from Greek and Roman theater--literally the pulley system used to hoist actors down from the heavens to sort out plot discrepancies. For this reason, it has come to mean "a contrived ending," but I prefer it for it's literal value.

It's "Deus," but I'll skip the lecture on where the phrase comes from and how it's used literarily, and just say that I like it for its literal value, "the god machine." I think of it every time I'm in front of my laptop, see somebody clumsily fingering their iPhone, catch somebody staring in awe at the towering wall of massive flat panel TVs at Best Buy. It's like an invisible hand emanating from the core of all that we revere, and its got us by the throats, slowly choking the life from our numb and dutifully obedient bodies. Dulce et decorum est pro technologia mori.

Quotes

By Kerli

Someone stated to Kerli on Formspring: "K713 its her special numbers K for kerli and 7 ,13 ,1,3 there divine numbers", to this she replied: "They are but it's bigger than just numbers. Wait and see."

By Vespertine

When asked about the meaning of "713" on Formspring, Vespertine replied "Isn't that something you should be asking Kerli? ;)".
