 		So uh, is Story going to go to the Ajax Pharmacy some time in the near future when it's open?

 		She's definitely going to go there. Whether it is will be open when she does is not. More than likely she will at least make an attempt and if she can't then she will try the sneaky way.

 		Hey guys, I'm coming in a bit late to this vlog, but I started watching Whispered Faith and it led me here. I really like the idea of it being a Fear mythos vlog, and I love the concept of the Black Dog, having seen it in Supernatural before! I also think it's interesting that Ajax Pharmacy is apparently handing out pills that do something, maybe helping people see the supernatural easier? It also reminds me of Marble Hornets, where Tim uses pills to fight his Masky state, but with Story it seemed like it did the opposite.

 		Ooo, a choose your own adventure segment!

...well, a choose her own adventure, I suppose. Let's see how quickly we can get her eaten by a Grue!

 		I told her to go with the Black Dog, since the dog seems to be the only character that has any idea what's going on. XD

(Also, was this the only connection to The Iliad or are there going to be more?)

 		I went with breaking in. Just because, OOG, I'm curious to see how she pulls that off.

 		Wow that's cool we get a choice. I choose follow the dog, even though I would like to see the break in one, I'm trying to think logically here. Also I wonder if she asked before going into there as that lady sounded pretty angry, and pretty real. Which is good. Also, does anyone know if that Wikipedia page exists because I couldn't find it

 		I selected 'other' and entered "call customer support" then she can get answers from the relative safety of her home.

 		Why would following the demonic dog creature that's the source of her lapses of sanity be the logical thing to do? ;p

 		Because it's a story, and characters in stories usually aren't very logical. Not saying Story isn't, but yeah. Also she kinda gave me a shock having dyed her hair again, well not a shock so much but more a "what the.." moment.

 		In this case though, it would be us acting illogical for choosing such a ridiculous option, don't you think?

 		Warning: Wall of text ahead.

Well then.

I've been progressively catching up on KeratinGarden for the last month now, taking a slight detour to watch Whispered Faith, and I finish the latest video two days before the poll closes. Wow!

First of all, I'd like to say that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is probably the most ARG-ish element I have scene in any Slenderverse series after EMH slowed down. Kudos to the creator!


That having been said, I think that I'm going to vote for her to infiltrate the building at night.
The daylight visit, while safest, probably won't get her anywhere. Not only will her cover story be easily blown (by the woman from "Ajax Pharmaceutals"), but also I doubt that she would be told any information that they want hushed up. In fact, chances are, she'd get more information from a decent Google search.
The Black Dog option seems to be the most foolish. We already know that the Black Dog is dangerous to her ("Sleepwalking") and that she isn't herself when following it ("Not Waiting Around," "Ajax Pharmaceuticals"). Those two things put together sound like a recipe for disaster. Not to mention, we can't be sure that she'll get any information of value from it -- after all, the trip to New Jersey is starting to seem like it was just a waste of money.
While breaking into the company is the most dangerous and the riskiest option, it probably has the highest return. Sure, she has a good chance of getting caught and jailed (or worse), plus we don't know if she'll even find anything, but it has the greatest chance of finding out something. Plus, OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It'll make for a very interesting video. Besides, we all know that she isn't going to get arrested -- that would make for a bad story. (Pun?)



-
That having been dealt with, I'll move on to the other thing on my mind: the age-old puzzle about Story's secret. Solving it might not be of major importance right now, but there is no way to know for sure.

It's already been determined that the first group of numbers identifies the Illiad as the subject. I agree that the "15" probably refer to a book number. However, unlike previous posters, I think that the numbers "464" and "467" are line numbers, not word numbers. Using an online translation of the Illiad, here are lines 460-469:

"[460] had he but smitten him while he was showing his prowess and taken away his life. But he was not unmarked of the wise mind of Zeus, who guarded Hector, and took the glory from Teucer, son of Telamon. For Zeus brake the well-twisted string upon the goodly bow, even as he was drawing it against Hector, and his arrow [465] heavy with bronze was turned aside, and the bow fell from his hand. Then Teucer shuddered, and spake to his brother:"Now look you, in good sooth a god is utterly bringing to naught the counsels of our battle, in that he hath cast the bow from my hand, and hath broken the newly-twisted string that I bound fast"

I'm not sure that this solves anything, though.

(Also, sorry if I missed anything. As I said, I just finished catching up.)


-
Finally (sorry for the long post), is anyone going to create a transcript of the Ajax Pharmaceuticals Wikipedia page? There might be some valuable information on it that Story didn't read to the viewers.


EDIT: Fixed broken spoiler tags.
EDIT: Corrected video citation in paragraph about interview.

 		If you're right about the Illiad, Signer: the passage is talking about how Teucer fails to kill Hector during battle, due to Zeus intervening and destroying his weapon. Hector was the prince of Troy. Teucer was a minor character - a Trojan who fought on the side of the Greeks. Teucer also happens to be Ajax's younger half-brother, for what that's worth - practically everyone's related to everyone in that story.

I don't know what this means any more than the word number interpretation. It's still too obtuse for my liking.

But I like your vote choice, in any case Wink
