[CHAT] KAshley 15th May (Contains solvy goodness)

Quote:

[22:44] *** KAshley has joined #james.
[22:44] KAshley: Hello?
[22:45] Paulzilla: Hello
[22:45] KAshley: Hello Mr. Zilla
[22:46] Paulzilla: How are you today, Mr Ashley?
[22:46] KAshley: I am well, how about yourself?
[22:46] DoubleHelix: hey there KAshley
[22:46] Paulzilla: I'm a bit hungover, and not too happy about it
[22:46] KAshley: Ah, fun last night then?
[22:47] Paulzilla: Was ok Smile

- The annoying thing was that I really didn't have a lot to drink
[22:47] Paulzilla: Yet still felt like crap. Life is not fair
[22:47] KAshley: Isn't that the truth.
[22:48] DoubleHelix: i was supposed to be out last night
[22:48] Paulzilla: How it your wound?
[22:48] DoubleHelix: but i got stitched up
[22:48] Paulzilla: Huh. Find better friends
[22:48] DoubleHelix: lol
[22:48] DoubleHelix: it was my cousin
[22:48] KAshley: My wound is okay now.
[22:49] Paulzilla: Cool Very Happy

[22:49] DoubleHelix: i found out her nanna died tho, so ill let her off
[22:49] Paulzilla: Fair enough
[22:49] KAshley: Any word on our letter?
[22:49] Paulzilla: Nada
[22:49] DoubleHelix: ive been looking at it
[22:50] DoubleHelix: and looking
[22:50] DoubleHelix: and looking...etc
[22:50] KAshley: I see, no theories at all?
[22:50] Paulzilla: JustLurking had an idea earlier
[22:50] DoubleHelix: do we neet to reorder the words?
[22:50] Paulzilla: JustLurking: well....what if it's coded, but not coded? like "internet conversation" means "chat", so the message is telling us about when and where to chat?
[22:51] Paulzilla: It could be a really clever anagram, now you say that, Double
[22:51] DoubleHelix: i was thinking that
[22:51] DoubleHelix: F*cking good one if it is
[22:51] Paulzilla: Totally. What do you think, Mr Ashley?
[22:52] DoubleHelix: unreceptive seems an odd word to use
[22:52] KAshley: What was JustLurking's theory?
[22:52] DoubleHelix: he thought it was trying to tell us when or where to chat
[22:52] DoubleHelix: or something to that general effect
[22:52] KAshley: What made him think that?
[22:53] DoubleHelix: the "internet conversation" part
[22:53] Paulzilla: No idea, tbh, but it sounded plausible
[[22:53] KAshley: Yes, quite interesting, let me show this to our guys.
[22:53] DoubleHelix: just a trail of thought i think
[22:53] * Paulzilla clutches at any straw he can find
[22:53] KAshley: One sec.
[22:54] Paulzilla: Are you having any luck at all on your end, Mr Ashley?
[22:54] * DoubleHelix counts to one
[22:55] * Paulzilla tries to count to one, but gets confused halfway
[22:56] DoubleHelix: Razz

[22:56] DoubleHelix: im listening to portishead
[22:57] Paulzilla: Ooh, music. Good idea. Thought it was quiet in here
[22:57] DoubleHelix: lol
[22:57] KAshley: Okay I'm back.
[22:57] KAshley: They think it is plausable.
[22:57] KAshley: plausible
[22:58] *** Jeb has signed off IRC (Quit: (Link: http://unfiction.com/chat/)http://unfiction.com/chat/).
[22:58] DoubleHelix: so we are to assume that when whoever this is tried before we werent there
[22:58] DoubleHelix: i think there is something we missed somewhere
[22:58] DoubleHelix: maybe
[22:58] KAshley: I think we are on the right track though.
[22:59] Paulzilla: Depends who the target is. Could be James, one of us, even you, Mr Ashley
[22:59] DoubleHelix: this note may be telling us there was a coded channel we should be on that we missed along the line
[22:59] KAshley: Me?
[22:59] DoubleHelix: could be emily
[23:00] Paulzilla: Well, probably not, but my point is that the target could be anyone
[23:00] KAshley: What if the rest of it is the same as the "internet conversation" part.
[23:01] *** Salina has signed off IRC (Quit: Immersion Unlimited Chat User).
[23:01] DoubleHelix: you mean words with similar meaning
[23:01] DoubleHelix: (Link: www.theasaurus.com)www.theasaurus.com
[23:01] DoubleHelix: Razz

[23:02] KAshley: Could be, but who knows I am just throwing theories out.
[23:02] DoubleHelix: (Link: http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=unreceptive)http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=unreceptive
[23:02] Paulzilla: Unreceptive - so they didn't respond correctly? Didn't get the point someone was trying to get across?
[23:02] DoubleHelix: cold, unsociable
[23:03] Paulzilla: Did not reacieve at all?
[23:03] Paulzilla: ^recieve
[23:03] DoubleHelix: impermiable
[23:03] DoubleHelix: yeah seems to me that is the meaning
[23:04] Paulzilla: Mr Ashley, when you say James was dead before he went missing, what did you mean?
[23:04] Paulzilla: You can't have meant in-a-wooden-box dead, can you?
[23:05] DoubleHelix: or going-to-be-killed dead
[23:05] KAshley: I...
[23:05] KAshley: Can't say.
[23:05] Paulzilla: Sad

[23:05] Paulzilla: Please?
[23:05] KAshley: I'm sorry, I would if I could.
[23:06] DoubleHelix: with a cherry on top Razz

[23:06] KAshley: I never should have said that.
[23:06] Paulzilla: So he was alive - in body anyway
[23:06] KAshley: The director wasn't very happy with me after that.
[23:06] Paulzilla: Can you tell us about his state of mind before he disappeared?
[23:07] KAshley: What mind?
[23:07] KAshley: I mean, no I can not.
[23:07] DoubleHelix: "The target" must be male, my guess is the defect or jim
[23:07] DoubleHelix: mind
[23:07] DoubleHelix: control...
[23:08] DoubleHelix: KAsh, is your agency protecting some kind of information, or institution?
[23:08] DoubleHelix: facility?
[23:10] KAshley: No.
[23:10] DoubleHelix: ok...
[23:11] DoubleHelix: this letter has me beat
[23:11] Paulzilla: Maybe the fact that it came with the bracelet is important somehow...
[23:11] DoubleHelix: yeah
[23:12] KAshley: Good thinking.
[23:12] DoubleHelix: well did it come from aleshas place or off of james?
[23:12] Paulzilla: No idea offhand
[23:13] DiscoJason: it supposedly came from Alesha's place
[23:13] DiscoJason: becase she claimed she had it in a jewelry box
[23:13] DoubleHelix: but she had two
[23:13] DoubleHelix: did she give one to jim?
[23:13] DiscoJason: I think she had them both
[23:13] DoubleHelix: i see
[23:14] DiscoJason: "And some of you have asked, why wasn't he wearing one? I don't know, and I"m racking my brains trying to figure that out. "
[23:14] KAshley: That was my impression also.
[23:14] DiscoJason: like she meant to give it to him but didn't
[23:14] Paulzilla: Sooo, if the letter is related to the bracelet, the target is either Jim or Alesha
[23:14] DoubleHelix: yeah
[23:14] DoubleHelix: jim
[23:14] DoubleHelix: cuz it says "his"
[23:15] DiscoJason: well,not Alesha
[23:15] DiscoJason: yeah
[23:15] DoubleHelix: it seems to me that the significance of the bracelet is that it tells you the target is jim
[23:16] Paulzilla: So what in the name of all that is good and holy was the internet conversation? Makes no sense
[23:16] DiscoJason: well, the two things I think of when I hear "internet conversation" are "chat" or "IRC"
[23:16] DoubleHelix: seems to say that they didnt hear what they wanted to
[23:17] DiscoJason: when I think of "unreceptive" I think "didn't respond"
[23:17] DoubleHelix: maybe
[23:17] Paulzilla: I think "didn't respond correctly"
[23:18] DoubleHelix: sounds like agentspeak for didnt respond correctly
[23:18] *** sux0rbiscuit has joined #james.
[23:18] *** Mode change "+oa sux0rbiscuit sux0rbiscuit" for channel #James by ChanServ.
[23:19] DiscoJason: now, to me, the super confusing thing is why that note was sent to Brain Storm
[23:20] DoubleHelix: only address they had?
[23:21] DoubleHelix: Facab, facab street, Washington, America didnt work?
[23:21] DiscoJason: I just mean that the note seems like it is addressed to somebody who would understand it
[23:21] DiscoJason: I mean, why write something and send it to them if they have no clue what it might mean?
[23:22] DiscoJason: and if it is code, it isn'tobvious
[23:22] DiscoJason: like when someobody would send yhw wol kwusq
[23:22] Paulzilla: What about if there is more on the paper, invisible like?
[23:23] DiscoJason: well, Brain said he tried lemon juice on it or something
[23:23] Paulzilla: Like in National Treasure Smile

[23:24] DoubleHelix: blacklight
[23:24] DoubleHelix: send it to me i have one
[23:24] Paulzilla: Was thinking that
[23:24] Paulzilla: Or go to a shop that uses one for checking notes/cards
[23:25] Paulzilla: I have no idea if they use this outside the UK though
[23:25] DoubleHelix: think that there might be a second part
[23:25] DoubleHelix: 2 bracelets...
[23:25] *** ttraider82 has joined #james.
[23:26] *** TheDefect has joined #james.
[23:26] KAshley: YOU!
[23:26] KAshley: Stop!
[23:26] TheDefect: aha. i see you got my message
[23:26] TheDefect: stop?
[23:26] DiscoJason: Defect!
[23:26] KAshley: you are under arrest!
[23:27] TheDefect: oh. arrest?
[23:27] KAshley: TRACE HIM!
[23:27] Paulzilla: How would you detain him, KAsh?
[23:27] DoubleHelix: e-laso
[23:27] TheDefect: you cant trace me
[23:27] TheDefect: do you think im stupid?
[23:27] KAshley: Who are you?
[23:27] TheDefect: once again
[23:27] TheDefect: do you think im stupid?
[23:27] KAshley: Yes I do.
[23:27] KAshley: Now, who are you?
[23:27] Paulzilla: Can you tell us who you work for?
[23:27] TheDefect: hah
[23:28] TheDefect: listen
[23:28] TheDefect: synonyms
[23:28] TheDefect: all will be clear in due time
[23:28] KAshley: We will find you!
[23:28] TheDefect: for now
[23:28] TheDefect: ... bye
[23:28] *** TheDefect has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[23:28] KAshley: STOP!
[23:28] DoubleHelix: that was my idea
[23:28] * DiscoJason faints
[23:28] KAshley: FUCK!
[23:28] DiscoJason: Wink

[23:28] Paulzilla: Too late
[23:28] DiscoJason: that Defect is sooooo dreamy!
[23:28] Paulzilla: Don't worry KAsh, you'll get him eventually Wink

[23:28] DoubleHelix: well at least i was right
[23:29] DoubleHelix: Razz

[23:29] * KAshley punches a wall
[23:29] KAshley: FUCK
[23:29] DoubleHelix: defect = fect off
[23:29] Paulzilla: There'll be other chances. Chill
[23:29] DoubleHelix: yup
[23:30] DiscoJason: I bet Sipper could have found him
[23:30] DiscoJason: Razz

[23:30] KAshley: Fuck you Jason.
[23:30] DoubleHelix: especially if we keep being as stupid as we are and need more help Razz

[23:30] DiscoJason: I kid!
[23:30] KAshley: I can't believe this, he was here.
[23:30] Paulzilla: How is Sipper? Are you still on good terms?
[23:31] DiscoJason: ok...so, synonyms....
[23:31] KAshley: Well I guess we know who sent it now.
[23:31] DiscoJason: yeah
[23:31] Paulzilla: Haven't seen him here in ages. He hates us Sad

[23:31] KAshley: Yes, he does.
[23:32] Paulzilla: And I wanted to infuriate him by calling him Kipper Sad

[23:32] KAshley: haha
[23:32] Paulzilla: Ah well - back to synonyms...
[23:32] DiscoJason: but,we love Sippy
[23:32] DiscoJason: so, one synonym for unreceptive is impervious
[23:33] *** cskane4life has joined #james.
[23:33] *** lorahubgirl has joined #james.
[23:33] KAshley: Well, if it isn't Mr. Kane.
[23:33] cskane4life: Hi friend!
[23:33] StopTheLight: Well, if it isn't Mr. Ashley.
[23:33] * cskane4life smiles
[23:34] StopTheLight: So, any leads on the paper?
[23:34] *** lorahubgirl is now known as Guest5023295.
[23:34] Paulzilla: Target... Goal?
[23:34] DiscoJason: the goal was impervious to our....
[23:35] StopTheLight: o_O;
[23:35] StopTheLight: I take that as a 'no'.
[23:35] DiscoJason: well, the Defect just visited
[23:35] DiscoJason: he said "synonyms"
[23:35] Paulzilla: STL: Yeah, The Defect came in, annoyed KAshley, and said "Synonyms" re the letter
[23:35] DiscoJason: and mentioned that he saw we got his message
[23:35] cskane4life: really? Defect is even crazier then I am...
[23:35] DiscoJason: so, now we are trying to think of synonyms for stuff in the letter
[23:36] Paulzilla: Conversation = exchange?
[23:36] Paulzilla: Just throwing out random words now :S
[23:37] StopTheLight: Heh.
[23:37] DiscoJason: yeah, even with the synonym thing, it doesnt help much....it is just another way of saying something that means the same thing
[23:37] StopTheLight: Anyone try synonyms to "Target"?
[23:38] DiscoJason: goal, mark, bull's-eye
[23:38] Paulzilla: But some synonyms have alternate meanings also - that's what I'm looking for
[23:38] DoubleHelix: i still thin k thewre are 2 parts
[23:38] DoubleHelix: seems logical
[23:39] Paulzilla: So where is the other one?
[23:39] JustLurking: !!!!!!!!!!
[23:39] DoubleHelix: 2 bracelets 2 parts of a message
[23:39] JustLurking: Target = AIM!
[23:39] StopTheLight: The target was unreceptive to his internet conversation.
[23:39] DoubleHelix: someone needs to recieve
[23:39] Paulzilla: O_o
[23:39] JustLurking: maybe?
[23:39] Paulzilla: I liiiike
[23:39] DoubleHelix: seems easily possible
[23:39] DiscoJason: yeah
[23:39] DiscoJason: AIM!!
[23:39] DiscoJason: good job!
[23:40] DoubleHelix: but there are so many combinations for the rest of the words
[23:40] * Paulzilla doesn't have AIM Sad

[23:40] *** KAshley has signed off IRC (Quit: ).

If that's been posted just before now I'll eat my hat. With a side order of trout. It wasn't there a moment ago, honest.

LEGEND
KAshley = Bold blue
The Defect = Bold red

This is what happened immediately after. I stopped it where I did because after that it gets a bit confusing - everyone jumps into AIM and the chatroom went a fair bit quieter. If anyone wants to post the logs of the AIM chat - I'm sure nobody would object Smile

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

[23:40] DoubleHelix: not likely we will get the correct one...
[23:40] DiscoJason: I am downloading it
[23:41] JustLurking: well, there must be more in the message then
[23:42] JustLurking: not that I know what it is, but there must be something
[23:43] StopTheLight: AIM ... internet conversation. Hmm.
[23:43] StopTheLight: Now what's this about 2 parts?
[23:43] Paulzilla: 2 bracelets
[23:43] DoubleHelix: dunno
[23:43] JustLurking: maybe someone else got a bracelet?
[23:43] DoubleHelix: i promise nothing, just seems logical
[23:44] StopTheLight: Where did the idea of 2 parts to a message come up?
[23:44] JustLurking: and that would tell who to contact
[23:44] *** Guest5023295 has signed off IRC (Quit: Immersion Unlimited Chat User).
[23:45] DoubleHelix: yeah
[23:45] DiscoJason: I added James Vanderhuff to my Buddy list
[23:45] DiscoJason: he is on
[23:45] JustLurking: ...
[23:45] DiscoJason: or somebody named James Vanderhuff
[23:45] DoubleHelix: just thought 2 bracelets, 2 messages
[23:45] StopTheLight: IM him.
[23:45] Paulzilla: No way it's that easy to find James.
[23:45] Paulzilla: Is it?
[23:45] StopTheLight: Lol.
[23:45] DiscoJason: he responded
[23:46] StopTheLight: What did you say?
[23:46] * Paulzilla tingles with anticipation
[23:46] * DoubleHelix just tingles
[23:46] DiscoJason: DiscoJason: James?
[23:46] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: Who?
[23:46] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: Who the fuck are you?
[23:46] DiscoJason: DiscoJason: Is this James?
[23:46] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: I...think so.
[23:46] DiscoJason: DiscoJason: Do you know an Alesha?
[23:46] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: I don't even know where I am.
[23:47] StopTheLight: Wows.
[23:47] * JustLurking takes a small bow
[23:47] Paulzilla: :O
[23:47] StopTheLight: Link him to the java IRC thing for this channel.
[23:47] StopTheLight: :]
[23:48] DiscoJason: WOnder if we should invite him to tthe village
[23:48] StopTheLight: No.
[23:48] DiscoJason: DiscoJason: James...focus....do you know someone named Alesha Periwinkle?
[23:48] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: No
[23:48] DoubleHelix: yeah invite him here
[23:49] DoubleHelix: brainwashing fo'sho'
[23:49] Paulzilla: Seems to fit with the brainwashing spec, nes pas?
[23:49] DiscoJason: yeah
[23:49] StopTheLight: Ask him about Kevin Ashley.
[23:49] Paulzilla: Ask him what he remembers at all
[23:49] DiscoJason: DiscoJason: so, you said you don't know where you are...what happened to you?
[23:49] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: I don't know, I just woke up here.
[23:49] DiscoJason: James Vanderhuff: Why are you keeping me here?
[23:49] Paulzilla: Eh?
