[Landalan][NEW][INTERACTION] John Q Drop Got an email from John Q about the potential drop, and figured it didn't belong in the Landa-Systems thread...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Be looking for a brown envelope in the very center of Ladd Circle,
Portland, Oregon on Saturday, September 2nd after 5pm. There will be a
single greek letter written on the outside of it.
JohnQ
Short and to the point... and soon.
EDIT: Subject line was "The Drop".

Does this literally mean to go and investigate?

I live in the Portland area, but unfortunately we decided to leave town at the last minute. I will be back Sunday afternoon, so if need be I can do the pick-up then. When I contacted JohnQ about the drop, I didn't know we would be gone.

I'm willing to go, but the idea was shot down by my family as too far away.

I sent JohnQ another email last night and explained I won't be back in town until Sunday, here's his reply.
Quote:
Roxanne,
It would actually be better, it turns out, if I were to do the drop at 5PM
Sunday instead. Please be there, as I will not get another chance soon.
JohnQ
So Sunday it is.

hey vector... sorry I don't know who's all where I was going to blog the latest 'event', since i know there are some LJers in the Portland area, but *shrug* no one really showed any interest in my last couple arg-related posts so I didn't think much of posting the request for people who weren't really following it
Good to know you're on board now though. I only lurked with it before the countdown ended, but since then I've been entranced

Is the drop in a sub-urban or urban area?

Urban. It's practically right in the middle of Portland city proper.
...well, I say that, but I don't actually live there.

I think it's safe to say that when info comes in, it'll be posted, and until then patience is in order.

enaxor (yay!) returned home tonight and was able to scan in the 3 sheets of paper from within the envelope that she picked up from Ladd's Circle.
I've made them available on the wiki here (plaintext version needs to be added)
