Not edited for language, be warned.
12:16am est ME: That Psycho bitch Amber is headed your way. I don't trust her. I don't think she wants to save you!!!! She's going on and on about making you so famous - I think she set this up. She is somehow behind this all!!! She wants you to die, to join Club 27! If you see her, please, run

TG: Amber?? How does she even know where I am? I haven't talked to her for days...

ME: People have been feeding her info from your page to the fanclub she started
Dude, I figured some shit out but no one is listening to me! Circe and her, they are connected.

TG: what?? seriously? why the hell would she care
Circe and the fan site girl??
I dunno man...

ME: She's psycho. She thinks you were coming to see her, so she could make you famous
She CALLED people tonight
Dunno how she got our numbers, but it was her
She thinks you are hers.

TG: Amber called people? C'mon. This makes no sense.

ME: You know that whole "artists more famous after death" thing? Well, club 27 people man, whew, some big names there. She wants you part of it.

TG: And if she thinks I'm hers, she's crazier than anybody thinks
WTF

ME: No, I know how crazy she is. Trust me. Look, you have seen some crazy ass shit this week, right? You gotta believe something otherworldly is going on. You can't deny that

TG: That's true, but Amber?? She's just cuckoopants

ME: Girl is dabbling in some shit she doesn't even know about. I... I do.
Circe, she's not just anyone. She's important. She has powers.

TG: hmmmm
Well, I don't necessarily disagree with that, after today

ME: Now bear with me
Circe is a goddess. And an evil one with a temper at that.

TG: go on

ME: She turns people she hates into animals.... Amber has been dropping hints about doing stuff like that. I think she made a deal for you

TG: You think Amber made a deal for me with Circe??

ME: I do

TG: that's.....I dunno...an interesting theory....kinda messed up.

ME: I think Circe gets to keep you, your soul, whatever.... In return, she helps Amber with her... Enemies. And bonus, her obsession gets famous. And she gets to feel responsible

TG: it's just a lot to take in...

ME: Hey man, obsession does fucked. Up. Shit.

TG: So Amber is some kind of.....in cahoots with demons or something?? Who would do that?

ME: Why would someone shoot John Lennon?

TG: I'm no John Lennon...but I get your point

ME: Who knows why these people do what they do. But Amber has been going on and on about you coming o see HER so SHE can make you famous

TG: yeah, but....she's just a freako girls. It's not like she has powers or anything
girl

ME: That's where Circe comes in.

TG: but she's convinced Circe?

ME: You know Circe has powers.

TG: man.....a lot to chew on
Circe definitely has....charms

ME: Doesn't take much to sell a soul.

TG: this is kinda scaring the shit outta me

ME: Charms didn't drag you back to your hotel room every time you tried to leave

TG: well, I think I've got a plan to get out of this place, with everybody's help

ME: I'm sorry, I don't know how to save you. I'm working on that. We all are.... But some people have been misguided.... And want Amber to help.
What can I do? Tell me the plan!

TG: Well shit. and amber's coming here/?

ME: Yeah
You gotta get this plan going fast

TG: haven't figured it all out yet, but I will soon. this place lets me think clearly
I think I'm gonna sleep here tonight....it feels safe. And I doubt I'd be surrounded by freekin dead flowers in the morning

ME: She's on the way to you NOW man

TG: I honestly don't think she can find me here
i don't know how i know that, but i know that

ME: Ok, cool.... Uhm can I ask you a question?

TG: sure!

ME: Is your Instagram app broken, is that why you can't get clear shots of the room? Those filters are harsh man

TG: I'm not adding filters
well, i was earlier a little, but not lately
with my busted screen it's too hard

ME: I hear you.
You feel safe?

TG: Here i do, yes
and it's actually quiet upstairs, no parties tonight. I think they're prepping for a big blowout tomorrow night. Which I think will play into my plan. More soon! 😉

ME: There are so many eyes on the walls....

TG: they're watching over me to keep me safe 😃

ME: Hey got another question for you. It's an odd one, but, your uh, ex, Jenny... Does she have a tattoo on her wrist?

TG: thanks for your concern and explaining everything the best anyone has been able to yet.
Jenny? Um, yeah. Why?
(maybe ex-)
it's the three notes to the melody of "Let it Be"

ME: Someone is trying to say Circe and Jenny are linked, the same. I'm trying to prove them wrong. I'm sorry to bother you in this way.... You would have noticed if Circe had a tattoo on her wrist, right? (I feel so dumb even asking)

TG: Circe has a giant tat on her back, but nothing on her wrists that I've noticed

ME: Man, that room better keep you safe. I can't even think about what will happen tomorrow if you wake up back in 27...

TG: We shall see. I'm gonna sneak up to my room quick to grab a pillow and stuff and come right back. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I know a back way where nobody can see me 😉

ME: I don't think you should. Circe always seems to find you.

TG: Then I'm gonna sleep here and gather my strength for tomorrow, whenI'm gonna get out of this place one way or another. With everyone'shelp, I hope. 😃
Well, I'll think about it. Tough to sleep on the hard floor though.😛
Thanks for everything. And tell everyone else thanks, too. I'll let everyone in on the plan soon.

ME: Better tough to sleep than hostage upstairs. Night man, be safe!

TG: 👍


ME: [this is the only edit, I sent a sugar skull pic, but the image is too large to post here, and really, it is unimportant]

12:47am est TG: 😃

 		Great interaction, which is always my favorite part of these experiences.

That being said, I know that the call that I received last night came from NY. Amber is not from NY (unless masking her phone number)

Jenny however would be, since that is where this whole thing started from. So is it possible his "that doesn't make sense" was actually telling us that "that doesn't make sense?"

 		Not much info to be had in my (short) text convo w him yesterday. But I'll post it here just in case...

ME: <insert>
Look closely at this picture. Do you recognize the person in the reflection?

<insert>
Do you recognize this tree or the white pile of ash/dust in the top left corner?

TG: what are these pictures?

ME: Pictures that Eric took of the area your Swarm check ins are located. These are the last pics he sent us just before he disappeared and you saw him at the hotel. We posted them to FB last night but it was pretty chaotic. Not surprised you didn't see.
Does anything look familiar? Can you tell who that is in the reflection?

TG: Nothing. Nothing looks familiar at all...but that tree looks a little like the tree in the parking lot...Reflection looks like the person who took the pics in the window reflection? idk

<I didn't get a chance to reply to this til this morning, all the stuff w Amber hit the fan soon after his last text, so I replied this morning>:

ME: Weirdness. The tree is where Swarm locates you, but no hotel in sight. Do you remember how you found the hotel? Anything odd about how you found it?
That picture was supposedly taken by Eric (the new waiter you saw check in night before last)...is it just me or...that just doesn't look like him to me, but it's hard to tell. What do you think?


I'll edit if/when I get a reply.

 		He just texted me:

T: Just heading to my room to get some stuff and blow this joint.

Me: Now? I thought the plan was for 6pm.

T: Yeah, that's the plan. I'll come back here and wait it out. But i need to get me stuff. My journals, my guitar!

Me: OK cool. By 6 we will all be online and ready. Is there anything else we can do to help between now and then?

T: If I think of something I'll let you know! (Y) (followed by a thumbs up emoticon)

Me: Ok good luck!

T: Thanks!

So the game is a foot! Or an arm! Or a torso! Needless to say I am leaving work early today. Wink

 		4:16 pm est ME: Glad you made it through the night safe. What's the plan?

TG: Still formulating. This note changes things a little...

ME: Unless you mean "because I have to get far far away before 6" you need a head check
That's Amber man, and she isn't here to hell you
Help*
Freudian slip

4:21 pm est TG: I'll keep an eye out for Amber, no worries. 😃

 		Talbot got the note under the door at 12:06, but Amber was still posting in the forum at 12:37, "on the road".

So it's *possible* that the note isn't from Amber at all....

ETA: I guess if she's Circe, she's been doing that all along. But if she's only working with Circe, she wouldn't be able to be in the hotel and posting to the forum at the same time, right?

 		Talbot has been texting me and he seems REALLY concerned about Jenny. He says he's been unable to contact her and that last he heard, she wanted to talk things out. He said not getting in touch with him is not like her.

I think finding out what happened to Jenny is a big part of this.

 		Had short text convo with Talbot too. I may be thinking big...

TG: 6 is a good time, as everyone will be at the big party.
Me: But with everyone together, they might be able to get you themselves. Sad
TG: Not with what I have planned. Wink
Me:...does it involve burning the place down?
TG: lol
TG: no comment

He also says he's never seen the woman in the mirror in the hotel before.

 		The girl in the mirror was one of the Perk players. Smile

Okay he just txt me and said "help" I said how? What was your plan? His response was "ti wa" just like that. All lowercase.

Well yes, I know, but was wondering if she was going to be involved in the storyline more than just the one cameo. Smile

Hrm, didn't we figure the letters from the bug perks spelled out BTALBOTGRIFFINFAE.

So how do we fit ti wa into there?

 		Nope, we never got the "IN" from his name.... and the extra letters must mean something, not just his name so i think most of us assume the BT doesn't start his name.

I got another text
"e is a lie
sorry can't think sraight" just like that

OMG i'm an ass okay so yeah, he's saying the E is a T

 		Looks like Circe has taken control of everything. Amber and Eric and Talbot are in big trouble! Sad

I got a different one:
