 		He's talking to me again...

It occured to me that you have had an interest in occult power for a long time. You also said that friends of your father had designs on you being a priest. But you became a scientist.

The quote warns that one cannot walk the line between the Gospels and the book of the law. Science could be the line between the Gospels (christianity) and the polytheistic faiths. If we interpret it this way, then perhaps the warnings from AV are urging you to choose one or the other (to be frank, we have little to confirm which way AV might bend - christians and pagans may be very different, but they share so much iconography. The Durer engraving tends to imply a faithful soul, undeterred on his journey towards God... but there is the suggestion of an inverted pentacle in the geometry of the composition. Who knows how AV interprets this?)

This means that AV has known you for a long time. It has watched you make decisions and is now trying to influence you, one way or the other. Have you made a decision? Why do you seek a white witch to protect you against evil and not a priest?

I do not know what AV is but I do not think it is Christian. It is too dark. I think it is very bad. Hostile. Perhaps if it is Christian it is a type we have not heard of. I believe that Christians can be bad too perhaps but maybe are not good Christians.

I ask banana about the good witch because it seems this bad power effects me. I do not understand it but it seems to be the case. So why not have good power of the same type on my side? It is not scientific but I think perhaps that science will not assist me in this case.

 		skull house location
well, chip emailed me back. . .

Quote:
I believe it is on Hopkins street about 4 blocks south of W. Gray.

Hopkins is between Stanford and Taft.


i'm trying to find it on google earth, but the building looks quite new. i don't think it will be in the satellite picture. perhaps someone in the area could go have a look and see what the building is for?

edit: from the google earth picture, it appears that the house is on the corner of hopkins and willard street. i'm not entirely sure, but the satellite pic fits with the skull house video.

 		Ok, for those of you that read the chat from last night, I mentioned that the season premiere of Supernatural, so the beginning of the convo is us chatting between commercials because he watched it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l440N2YxONk) ... It was great, thanks for asking... Laughing

Anyway, I don't know what he's saying here, other than one thing...

MYCROFT - HE WANTS TO CHAT ABOUT A DROP TOMORROW - not the drop itself but the details - LET ME KNOW IF YOU'D BE AVAILABLE SATURDAY!!!


Oh, and there's a link that he 'trusted' me not to share with anyone - that HAS to mean something doesn't it.... ( even in arg'ing, I hate not being "honest")

[21:43] docjpjr: I think there are many many witches here
[21:43] theangrybanana: what is the last link?
[21:44] docjpjr: I should not have sent you that one. Please do not share ok?
[21:44] theangrybanana: ok, i won't share
[21:45] docjpjr: Well I think you know already anyway
[21:45] theangrybanana: there was a meeting close to you recently
[21:45] docjpjr: I trust you
[21:45] theangrybanana: I will not share....


I'm impressed that he actually watched the Supernatural - at least long enough to film it... *my blatant plug to watch the show because I LOVE IT!!!*



ETA: I don't know why the chat doc. didn't attach, I am at work now and don't have it - but can put the entire thing on this evening... Sorry about that!

 		I know he's paranoid...but I'm dissapointed that he didn't want to share with us. (OOG-I'm sure it's just the PM saying "look, look right here!") I mean, we all extended our help, how else are we supposed to help if he doesn't let us ALL know?
Anywho, I'll be on tomorrow to wait for the Doc for our discussion on witches, protection stuff, and this object he wants to drop. Mycroft, you there buddy? You ready for a little exercise? Wink

Yeah, though my concern at the moment is that we are receiving everything, through Jochen's eyes. It is only his location that we can independently evaluate. Without another character's perspective, there's nothing we can cross-reference.

To be frank, we are only taking Jochen at his word that he is actually receiving this stuff from AV, and not fabricating it as part of a paranoid delusion. Question

 		I'm not really playing this one (though I'm skimming the thread occasionally because of the local connection--and boy do I want to see that skull house!)... Anyway, I wanted to poke my nose in here to say that I don't think the etchings/haveyouseenthisman thing is at all related. An etchings clue was picked up yesterday in the Clear Lake area (that's a suburb of Houston, for all you nonTexans), and it has a decidedly different flavor than the AV stuff.

I was wondering about that. the good Dr. has stated that we should not speak about his location, and that he won't become a bait for AV. But should we try to lure AV into contacting us?

Maybe, if AV is still looking for him, he (she, it?) is watching the youtube account, or the blog. Should someone (who hasn't been in contact with the Dr.) post there that he knows the location and may be willing to share that info?

We may catch AV attention that way.

[13:26] mycroftxxx42: Passable, it's billing time here at work and I didn't get much sleep last night.
[13:26] docjpjr: Has banana spoken to you?
[13:27] mycroftxxx42: Yes. You want to pass on an object to me?
[13:27] docjpjr: Yes I am still thinking about how to do this. Are you available during the day on Saturday?
[13:28] mycroftxxx42: Afternoon more than morning, but yes.
[13:28] docjpjr: Afternoon. That is good. Are you near the downtown?
[13:28] mycroftxxx42: I certainly can be. I drive all over the place.
[13:29] docjpjr: I think perhaps the location will be near the cafe but I can not be certain. I must think about how to protect myself and also you understand?
[13:30] mycroftxxx42: Quite.
[13:30] docjpjr: Good. I must work I have a meeting soon. I will talk to you this evening or Saturday.
[13:31] mycroftxxx42: Ok!
[13:31] docjpjr: Goodbye

 		greetings
i'm basically new to ARGs (recently stumbled across perplexcity, that got me looking) but i think i'm in on this one.

i'd be willing to try to pull AV attention, if we want to go for that angle, as Arkaham suggested... after reading all 17 pages (i figured i should know whats up before i join up...) i kinda get the feeling that maybe we do need to get another perspective here, and perhaps a "double agent" contact with AV can help get things moving? or should we wait and see what tomorrow's drop has in store?

just my 2¢...

 		I really wonder if we should...but I'm unsure. Two of you think we maybe should...what is the general consensus here...should we? (OOG-I know it might move us along...but I still feel bad about it! Sad )

 		the "contact" doesn't have to disclose the location...

something along the lines of "I know where he is, contact me"
or "I have information regarding the Dr."

not neccessarily "Hey, AV! Here's where you can find him!"
or "I know you're looking for someone. How much is it worth to you?"
(although that could be interesting as well... *evil laugh*)

 		Do we even have a contact address for AV? I mean, if we had that, wouldn't we have already solved the initial question of this ARG? (Who/what is AV)


I'm not saying that we shouldn't do it, afterall - I've already warned the doctor that his vlogging provides more than enough information to track him down and set up surveilance, I'm just not sure if we could.
