Great job!!

"覚えない", "oboenai", means "I don't remember."

It all makes sense now. "I don't remember her name..."

I sent an email which said "覚えない?何が覚えない?

お名前は?私はマリア。"

English: "What is it that you don't remember? What is your name? My name is Maria."

We'll see what happens...

Great job labfly!

So I tried using her name as the password for jphide for regretogether.jpg, and also as part of the web address, but nothing came up. So i guess we wait to hear again from oboenai

Just a random thought - since she said her name is qu13en 9tales, and earlier we saw a message that says "she will ask for a number, this one is mine", maybe 9 is her number, since 13 was his ... like i said, a random thought

Congratulations labfly!

And for how it fits. Look at the regretogether.jpg.

If you look carefully-

Quote:
Her name I don't remember

But was the sound of the rising sun.


The "I don't remember" is more slanted than the rest of the text.

I can't believe I didn't notice that before. Mad

I'll pop an e-mail off once I get through these papers. Finals season, arg.

i completely agree -- something to keep in mind as we move forward -- the pm will more than likely give us wink of a clue before we handle something new - it all seems sooo obvious now and i repeatedly looked at the phrasing thinking i was missing something, but honestly i only came to it by looking for a japanese word that we had mentioned six times (i also tried nearly every english word as well!) at one point i was convinced that the name was "the gate" -- i have no idea why i came to that but i became convinced that the opening of the gate would sound like the rising sun -- Laughing (sigh)

Greetings, jan the labfly.

But how ever did you lose yourself here?

and i'm seeking Random Martin and can you help

and this just posted to sparkrent

this just in from Oboenai:

Quote:
Random Martin? Clockstop the Whys? And the devil?

Three deaths uttered in one breath.

You must be silent while I unremember answers to your qu13estions.

If what you speak is true, then all that was lost has been...found...out.

Others are searching, too. What realm claims you?


okay, everybody, what realm claims us? Cool

edit: i replied that i was from the realm of the living and i asked
if she could put someone from the living realm in touch with someone
from the realm of the dead -- if Random Martin exists in that realm Shocked

I just got one too. It's the same except for the first two lines.

Greetings Delusional,

It appears a new chapter to a very old story is unfolding.

And others are searching, too - there are those who would help and others who would do you harm.



[Edit]
I replied with earth realm.

If this is true, does that mean if you dont remain silent she will remember the answers to your questions? I think we have to choose our words very carefully on this one in order to receive full bentfit from the answers.

Just a random thought Smile

My conversation with Oboenai so far:

Maria wrote:
覚えない?何が覚えない?

お名前は?私はマリア。


Qu13en wrote:
You are from the Realm of Earth. Japan, was it not so?

I can unremember such a script from a forever wronged ago.

I am Qu13en 9tales, servant of oboenai.

Who are you?



Maria wrote:
]My name is Maria. You are correct, I am from the Realm of Earth.

How did you come by the name of Qu13en 9tales? Who is oboenai?


Maria wrote:
I thought you might want to know, Qu13en 9tales, I was sent by Clockstop the Whys to find Random Martin. He asked me to search for you. Can you help me?



Qu13en wrote:
Clockstop the Whys?

And what is his number?


Maria wrote:
13.

Maria wrote:
How has Clockstop fooled me? Is he not to be trusted?

The others searching are my friends. Unless you know of some who would do me harm?

Don't unremember.

I also sent an e-mail to oboenai, got the (basically) same response as labfly.

But, after Googling "Qu13e" a few times, I came up with this:

Quote:
classifieds.japantoday.com: Japan's No 1 classifieds
Random Martin,
Ken Boushou. Remember me? Looks like you've done it again, everybody's looking
for you. By the way, what is qu13e? Send Mail Send Mail ...
classifieds.japantoday.com/ biz.asp?action=home&pid=57 - 50k - 5 Dec 2005


Sorry I haven't had time to participate, just a few more days and finals are over.

I haven't sent an e-mail to him, should I?

got this early this morning
Quote:

jan the labfly,

sparkrent is a name I certainly don't remember, and I can only suppose he's up to no good. But in Qu13e no one is to be trusted, as it always should.

If you are to find Random Martin, you will need someone from the Realm of Earth, for he once resided there.

I am currently searching for path for you, and your friends, but I require time.

We were all supposed to be forgotten. Instead, someone remembered us all.

Be careful, it seems the dead are now undead.


edit: so as delusional696 said we are the earth realm

Okay, do you guys think it's just coincidental that 9tails told us we'll need someone from the real of earth, and the same day maria finds this classified from some guy who knows random who's looking for him? i'm thinking about emailing him (there's a link to reply to his classified), but i can't decide if he's supposed to be part of the game or if he's a real person actually looking for random.
