There are those who think that sending me to New York and then County Cork will prevent me from helping you in what is to come. Some of the same think that preventing Starr from leaving the District of Columbia - which they will do - will leave your poor Port lonely and distraught, overlooking the ocean and just waiting for the moment that a .50 caliber round fired from a nondescript fishing boat bobbing on the bay will burst his head open and leave all of your hopes for saving the world drying to the wall of Starr's love shack. Those same people, drunk with their own intelligence (not unlike Wallace Shawn's Vizzini) believe that with the last straggling Watchers hiding under rocks and trying to send you clues coded in ways that won't start computer screens blinking in concrete bunkers all across Maryland, the grand quest to save the Oracle and to finally destroy what was once a good natured car mechanic from Kankakee, will ultimately be derailed. The rub is that all of those things may actually be correct - unlike some, I can't see the future. Here's the other side of the coin, though. Your folded brood doesn't actually need me; Port King is a survivor made transparent by his own tragedies - transparent, but not weak; and the Watchers, although thinned substantially - for which I accept a bit of responsibility - have already served 98% of their purpose in this little passion play anyway. So what do I know, Syn? I know that it's not King who needs to know those maps; because although he may get across the waters of Bodega and up a rusted ladder on the northeast corner of the Brightman, it will be up to all of you to get him through that gauntlet. I know that your friends have the key and I know that the key and the symbol must meet if King is to succeed on that rock. I know that your Mr. Wulf is still confused by what he holds, but that it will become apparent when the time is right. I know that things which have appeared innocuous and unconnected throughout will prove crucial if you are to succeed before the appointed date. I know that no matter how much we want it to be different, times moves at it's own pace. And I know that those who get cocky miss the details! I involved you all on purpose. Remember that. A.R.

So, after looking over the maps, I can at least safely say that the first one we got is probably the roof or top floor; the 'boxtown' map is the floor immediately beneath that. And the other one is just under that.
What the symbols stand for, I'm not so terribly sure.

But! I've forwarded them all to Port. Starr's supposed to be back in CA tomorrow, hopefully with good news.

... and now we wait, I guess?

So for your amusement, here is some of the totally unrelated-to-anything conversation Port and I have been having in 140 characters or less:

klokworkalex: I've got plenty of time to memorize it. So, what do you do for fun? Hobbies other than art? clas1ca: You might be disappointed! My other hobbies are still artsy. Read novels, comics; music, play violin; film; video games. Collect old books. What about you? Other than films, unless you totally gave up on them. (Which I hope you didn't!) klokworkalex: Why would that disappoint me? I love all of those things, except video games. Never understood them. I used to play saxophone though! clas1ca: Hah, even the old books? I played sax, too, once upon a time. Wasn't very good, so I stuck w/ strings. Did you play in a group, or go solo? klokworkalex: Always solo and always sucked! The only song I ever really got down well was Suicide is Painless. Ironic, no? And I love old books. The smell of them...wondering whose hands have turned the pages...everything. I have a first edition... "Deathworld Trilogy" by Harry Harrison and "Jack of Shadows" by Zelazny. I know...not THAT old but still great. Well, I used to have them. It's amazing how much we have in common...while having so little in common.

Aww. GUYS CAN I KEEP HIM?

Also, since no one mentioned it:

So I sent the following to Rage:

Hahaha. To me, it looks like a flitered-through picture of the sky. What if it's the courtyard that the Oracle hangs around in a lot?

Also, where does this match up to the other two maps we've gotten? I'm betting the staircases run through on all of them, or something to that sort. (I'd look myself, but duty calls!)

[E.Y.E. Spy]

Okay, what in the world is that blue thing? A portal to the Underworld?

[classical]

Fhew.

[3v1L Schwinn]

This just in...

[classical]

ahahahahahahaha yes


yes.

Okay, the PM just earned himself a gold star. And I may consider using rubber-toed shoes rather than those steel-toed ones I was thinking about.

In the meantime, Port has been chatting up me lately over Twitter, hahah. So while he's not dead or anything, we're not really talking about anything important. :B

I'm gonna blame it on him being cooped up at Starr's place or something, but lol.
