Thanks Sarah!

Jordanmc- It was a very well-meant gesture. I'm mad at E. for taking away the kitten, too. x.x She will pay!

OK, so I was giving some thought to the problem of E taking away Synagoga's pictures and I think I've got a solution; I can host them. I never seem to be on AIM at the same time as her so one of you will have to let her know. There's a directory at http://www.cjtonline.net/booted/anastasia that we can use (sorry, it's not browsable ATM - I'm looking into that). I've put another picture up for her at http://www.cjtonline.net/booted/anastasia/kitten.jpg and a brief introduction at http://www.cjtonline.net/booted/anastasia/readme.txt

I've also set up a password protected area (should go live within about 30 mins of this post) so that if she wants to store anything that she doesn't want the whole world to see she can. For obvious reasons I'm a little reluctant to post the URL/username/pass on the board but email/PM me or hkdl (who I picked simply because he started this thread) for the info.

ATM you'll need to pass files to me (email is fine) but I'm looking at setting up FTP access. I'll also make a backup of the files every couple of days to make sure we don't lose anything.

Hmmm, it's a good idea. I still think E will take them away nonetheless, remember they're Syn's visions and as far as we know Syn utilises the internet to contact us, E has no power over manipulating online entities - she can't touch websites or us. If this does work and it makes Syn's visions secure, I think there is a danger of E getting fustrated and finding other methods to relieve her of the pictures, for example more torture and memory wipes.

To be honest, I think our best strategy is to set up a link (preferably E-mail) with E and communicate with her. We may be able to cover some ground. We're at a loss at the moment because we do not know enough, and nothing major is occuring (for example the plot isn't moving forward). Therefore it's probably safe to believe it is us who is supposed to be moving this thing forward, we're only getting helpful hints.

Next time I speak to Syn I will give her my E-mail address and tell her to 'speak' to it. With any luck E will find out and use it to get to me as well. I would be very interested to take a look at that package and even more interested to take a look into 'E's world'. Remember we know nothing about E in-game, and not enough about Syn, we're not ready to make swift assumptions. Our main priority should be to gather as much information as possible.

Ahhh, glad to get that off my chest Very Happy

... didn't Syn at some point say that someone told her how to get to 'Giggle'? Did she ever end up accessing it? Because maybe if we get her to think about how she does it, we can get her to email us or something. Just a thought.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe she can actually access the web with her mind. It would be a little clichéd, but it's a possibility. I was going on the assumption that the web is used behind the curtain to try and convey the story rather than actually being a vital part of it.

For my arg, I had three facets of one personality, and one of them was looking for a safe place from the other two. Someone decided to make their own website where the character could hide... while clever, it gave me a bit of a headache.
I think its a great idea to host messages to her, so you don't solely comunicate through someone else. But giving her her own way to host pictures... I'd hold off until she asks.
Other than that, nice thinking!
Sarah

Alright, it's 2:30 pm, about time for our leader to be revealed with Cle's package in hand. I'm waiting in slavering anticipation.

Also, I think it would be wise to reveal Cle's email address to our following. I would not send her any kind of caustic email, just one that is guardedly curious. I want to know what we're dealing with here, not poke holes in the PM's game.

Oh, Cle = Ecclesiastica or Ecclesia. Whatever her name is.

*anticipates email reply-ness* I'm so terribly bad at waiting. Wink

ARGN got a package today, and I think it belongs to this thread. It's an urn with a note inside reading: "This is what happenes when you go Against The Will Of God." The note has a bloody handprint on front and back. OK, not real blood, but maybe it is. Who knows?

Pics attached.

Oh wow...

they sooooo owe us a conversation tonight.

Considering that it would need to have been mailed considerably *before* we thought Syn was in trouble, I don't think its her blood. But it does seem to be a threat. (Oooo nooo, its the kitten's blood.... sniff...)
