 		Forthcoming Directory
*whew* I think I have finally gotten through everything. What a nightmare between all of the links and the creepiness of Virgil.

Anyway, I have created both a labyrinth plot file and a gif of the connections in the forthcoming directory so that everyone can follow along at home. I think I have everything, but I might have missed something, and as I've already spent 3.5 hours on this, I'm not going to double check right now. But lemme know if you find an error and I'll fix it sometime Very Happy

edit: uploaded new version of plt file with some minor corrections. I'm not going to mess with the gif right now since it will probably screw up the image map.

 		I already contacted him and got an answer :)

Hello rose,

It's a pleasure to meet a kindred spirit. I knew that those rare wits worthy of gaining entrance to my inner circle would understand the way my mind works. You obviously understand what a treasure Nisha is, and why she must be protected from that conniving hack(er) Ian. It's good to know that people are finally starting to come around to realizing what a dangerous influence he is.

As far as Mr. Erdlemann is concerned, I would be quite to shocked to find out that that dear old man was involved in such unsavory business as murder, but then again, I was rather surprised to find him mixed up in this forgery affair as well. If the murder to which you refer is that of Gunter, I believe you may be a bit misguided, as I am almost certain that Mr. Yarbrough is behind it. I have no proof yet, but it's only a matter of time before he tips his hand and reveals to the world, and even my poor, dear Nisha, what a destructive force he is. I'm glad that I can count on your allegiance in this matter.

Don't give up the good fight--Nisha is counting on us!

 		From "I Awaken" you can get to me/index and also her/index (which seems to be the same is my_future) but I think you've got everything covered form there..

 		Will Star and Ian are buddies, right? Gunter kept wistling twinkle twinkle little star. Assuming Virgil is speaking the truth, and that Ian IS the bad guy, where does Will Star come into all of this? Remember what whoever said about secondary characters, introduced in the beginning than forgotten throughout the story till we find that they weren't a secondary character at all, but in fact behind the whole mess.

 		Hmmm, I wonder why the image on the mingler page is a GIF, while all the other images (as far as I can see) are JPEGS?
A hint that steganography was used on that image?
Or just a coincidence?

 		filenames
In addition:

If you look at the filenames of the movies and notepaper images that are within the following pages (as has been the previous pattern) they are in hex:

for you_walking.html the file names are: 42656E6561746800.gif/.mov
which in hex is: Beneath

for are_you_coming_home.html the file names are: 4449537472616374494F4E00.gif/.mov
which in hex is: DIStractION

for themomentisawyou.html file names are: 5345454B00.gif/.mov
which in hex is SEEK

for one_more_time.html the file names are: 545245415355524500.gif/.mov
which in hex is TREASURE

for i_know_you.html the file names are 636F757273696E6700.gif/.mov
which in hex is coursing

for desire_a_call.html the file names are 646F6C6C00.gif/.mov
which in hex is doll

finally, for forever.html the file names are 704C415900.gif/.mov
which in hex is pLAY

I'm not sure if those do anything for us but with the how tangled Virgil's web is I wouldn't put it past him.
