 		New mail from winter:

Quote:
My Dearest Keepers,

I will be leaving you briefly and I will return swiftly, when the darkness equals the light.

I am flying off to meet an old friend, somebody who is in dire need of my help.

When you ponder the Keeper mission remember that although we strive for the light, sometimes our understanding develops in darkness.

All of My Love Always,

Winter

 		something interesting
My slip of paper said community.


i just realized something.

the slips that were sent to us correspond to our cards.
Community is one of the underlying meanings of my card, the 3 of Cups

maybe there's something to do that

My guess is we'll hear from her again between March 20 - 22 (the equinox)

I was wondering if those were "the word" you had to send to the Magister?

 		That's what I had previously presumed Cherry. Although giving your address was optional only so if that was the case it would auto exclude people which I know this story would not do.

Hi All. Guess y'all saw that Melody Reed is one of the names on "the list (5)" from the package pics posted earlier here. Wonder if they were all Sparks Club members on another campus (or campuses)? Now **biting my pinky nail** Laughing anticipating that meeting to be held on Carina's campus on the 22nd of March.

 		Yay, finally got my letter. Posted a pic on twitter. I also emailed the Magister earlier and they responded that first I have to give my word, so I now replied them with my word 'passage'. But I assume I'm just gonna get the same email others have got too and that has already been solved.

Speaking of things being solved, great work everyone! With the hidden sites and the ciphers and everything! Also, people have done really cool card designs Cool

 		G'Day Grimangel53. Just in case Elethamei isn't here today am mentioning that magisterSPLATpergamumlibrary.com is the IG ctc on http://pergamumlibrary.com HappyPhantom found this site a few days ago. When you email "your word" (one applicable to your card) it's fastest to mention which card you're holding. HTH

And ditto on Elethamei's comment that all the players' Card Designs are just so creative and interesting. Cyas...

The Magister is the person behind the Pergamum Library/ Spark Club. I was trying to dig around to find out more, I asked Winter if she was the Magister since I consider her a teacher of sorts and here's what she had to say:

Quote:
I am not the Magister, although he has great things to offer. A journey through the Pergamum Library is an excellent test for the Keepers, but excellence always comes with a price.

Here is some advice about the Magister. He will be cagey with you, and sometimes even rude. He is trying to push you away, but that doesn't mean he wants you to leave.

Always trust your instincts.

I wonder if he means this blue bird....

 		HI HP. You got some really insightful, valuable intel from your "digging" Cool and that owl IS big-n-blue!

Am fascinated with "the list (5)" & am sorta deducing that another name on it, Becky Gorman, is the other murder victim, Rebecca Blue (her stripper name).

So, I just checked the name Gorman & found it's derived from a word meaning "dark blue". Truly <3 how Winter tells us a story.

 		Could be, HP (Um...that rhymes)! Hoping we hear something soon, also for the reason below...

Last week the Magister wrote:
...We begin with A for Roman Emperor...
Then Russell wrote:
The capitalisation is a bit odd.

Astute observation, Russell. Cool Early days yet maybe we should all keep track of any odd CAPS (e.g. ARE) in case they form an acrostic question or phrase to solve.
EDIT: Well scrap that idea, probably Dunno Roman Emperor appears to be always capitalized. **returns to fascination with "the list (5)"**

 		New Tweet from The Pergamum Project

Quote:
Those of you who don't know your word: Knock, and the door will be opened for you.


And another right after that one:

Quote:
For those of you waiting patiently: There is a bluebird in my heart...


I think the second one is a reference to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Charles Bukowski's poem "Bluebird" as it's one of the lines from it.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?


Ha! I also sent an email to the Magister because I have no idea what my word is and this is the response I received:
Quote:
Don't knock on me, knock on the door.
