 		[UPDATE]Shamash
As the doctor Peiper kept asking for us to find him a good witch, and the other night he was asking desperatedly for us to find him a spell to protect him from bad dreams. So Ang told him we had found a witch, and I came up with some ritual (Actually, I took it out of a Kult book, for those who knows what's that).

Then I made up a YT account: Shamash333 and a gmail account shamsh333splatgmail.com, and wrote to the doc.

He replied, and he seems interested on the wizard. Here's the mail I sent, and what the doc replied.

The highlights of it is that the doc is in despair and now we can start refering to AV as 'them'.

May the light guide your paths.

Greetings Dr. Jochen. I'm Jose Maria Sierra. Banana (I still find it
funny to refer to her in such a way) told me about you, and I've been
trying to help with your problems. She asked me on friday's night for
a ritual to help you with the bad dreams.

Did you get a good sleep? I apologize in advance if you did not, but
watching over someone else's dream with so little information is not
easy.

I decided to write to you and introduce myself properl and clarify
some things. First and foremost, I am not a 'witch'. While the term is
somehow a compliment (the word means 'wise' ) it has too much cultural
baggage. There are many practicioners of the occult who call
themselves witches, but the right place for that term is in those who
practice some pagan religions and in the so called 'wiccans'.

I heard you are a man of science. I admire that. But I think science
is just a part of the universe. I think science is good to hold
control over some things. But there are many other things that fall
outside the realm of science. I have specialized myself in some of
those other realms, and I follow procedures much like those in
science. Research, investigation, experimentation and clasification
are as much part of my work as its part of yours.

For now, all I can tell you is that I do believe something dark is
looming over you. This 'AV' thing that haunts you seems to know a lot
about the occult forces of the universe. At first, when I saw those
videos sent to you I thought it may just be some individual trying to
scare you. But after all the information you have shared with us I
believe there's much more on this than a mere individual.

That skull was certanly not just a decorative item, and that postcard
with the antler and the cross was also in the realm of the dark
forces. I got convinced when I was performing the ritual to watch over
you in your dreams. I knew then there was a force oposing me.


But do not despair. The light of a single candle can pull away the
darkness of a whole room. All we need to do is be careful of the
shadows.

Jose,

Thank you for your assistance. Unfortunately nothing can stop the dreams I think.

What do you call yourself if not a witch? I mean no disrespect I just do not know all the terminology.

I believe you are right. I think magic is just things we do not fully understand but someday it will be science.

I think you are correct about AV being many dark people. I think they make me have the dream every night for some reason. I do not know what. At first it was very frightening but the witch in the second dream is making me thing it is not so bad. I find that the more I do not fight dark thoughts the less pressure I feel. That is why I look at dark videos on youtube. It is a release of some sort. It is hard to explain.

Thank you for the ritual. I ask banana to make a film of such a thing, It is very difficult but I wish that I could watch it. I am not sure that any of it will work even though the intention is good. The spiritualist I saw took one look at me and said my destiny can not be changed. It was not very comforting.

People are asking me to do magic to protect myself but I think perhaps it never works. I think perhaps many bad people are working forces on me and I need many good people to help. Perhaps even that will not work.

Regards,

Jochen

 		He emailed me asking about you "Jose"... I finally put 2 and 2 together LOL!!!

I also got an email from Sarah this morning - I'm gonna just post it here b/c I have to run...

Quote:
Banana

The doc and I have been talking about ways to allow people to collaborate on AV. I am thinking about setting up a website with a wiki or group blog. I know a bit more about that stuff than Doc. Doc has been getting strange IMs and emails from people who are obviously just trying to scare him so such a system could not be wide open. If I create it would you be comfortable being an administrator and possibly determining who gets access to edit or post?

I'm more worried about Doc than ever. He is only happy when your name is mentioned. I'm buried with work here and most of the time he's watching videos on YouTube. Creepy ones. I'm not even sure he cares about finding AV anymore.

That website you sent me still has stuff about me on it. And what is the unfiction thing? Is that where your group hangs out? I don't have time to wade through all that right not. Anyway I appreciate your help but I think we have to get a tighter focus here. I think many things are being overlooked. I mean have you Googled the phrase from that skull? Does it mean what I think it means? That can't be possible but why would someone want him to have that. This isn't something we are going to have to go way out of the box to figure out.

The relationship you two have is comforting him and I think we would lose him without it. But maybe we need some big guns from the occult world to really understand the dynamic here. What is this process that's happening. Why is he drawn to creepy stuff? Why does AV want to make this poor man something so evil when he obviously isn't.

There's just too many questions. One of the things we should do when we get place to work is lay all of them out. Maybe you can lead your group in that exercise now. There must be a hundred questions at this point.

Sorry if I'm rambling. Too much stuff going on and this is just a brain dump. I'm getting you a package out in just a few!

Sarah P.


My rushed response:

Quote:
Hey Sarah!

Yes, we were talking about that a bit last night. If you can set up a website, I would be happy to help admin it - We are a pretty tight knit group, so it will be easy to monitor who should be there and who isn't - I know there are a lot of nutballs out there that have been messing with the Dr. I think that is why he always shows as invisible on IM these days.

Yes, he was talking quite extensively about tarot cards last night, and barely even mentions AV anymore - we are at a loss as we have poured over all of the documents he has posted/sent and are at a stopping point. We are hoping the items you are sending out will help give us something more to work with. The skull message means about as much to us right now as the other messages that the Doc has shared. Basically AV wants him for some reason, and I don't think it is good!

As far as the information on the website, has Ardiente spoken with you? I dont have any access to modifying that site or I would have taken it down. I know I spoke with him and expressed your concern.

Yes, uF is the place where we all met initially to discuss the Dr, but now we mostly do it via chat - I sent you the information on that the other day, if you get a chance, pop in, there are usually at least a handful of people there.

I agree with getting everything organized - that has been a big problem, and I will be more than willing to help facilitate laying everything out.

I am going to be in meetings most of this afternoon, but will check my email as I can, and as usual I will be available this evening via chat and IM.

I'll talk to you soon, try not to work too hard - and thanks for getting the packages out!
Tell the Doc that I said no more creepy youtube videos!!!


Banana


Look for a website coming soon!!!

 		Well, the PM's SHOULD know this already - It really should have just been ignored and not brought up... But uF is OOG strictly, I've seen some people get beat up pretty badly for not playing by the rules Laughing

 		Forgot about the UnF link - was put up there when the forums went down. I'll get rid of it.

As for miss qtpie, she's ignored my email to her completely (unless it went to the wrong address - qtpie74SPLATgmail.com ?). Tell her I'm out of town and she can contact me herself via email if she's desperate (Ang, you've got my address? I'll pm it otherwise)

 		Well, I've told her 3 times now when she's asked me to take it down that I have NO control over that blog, and if she's not contacting you.... Rolling Eyes

I think I have your email addy, but you might pm it to me just to be on the safe side

 		WOW, what an excellent video, very well done. I am so glad you decided to to this as any attempt that I would have made would never have been as good as this. I am sure it will capture the Doc's attention!

 		Ark, I'll have to watch it tonight - I couldn't get the link to work this morning, but I'm sure it's FABULOUS! I can't wait to see it...

Also, I received some information from Sarah - Looks like the website could be up by the end of this week!

Quote:
Banana,

Good news. It looks like my friend has most of the stuff for the new web page in place. I'm helping him with some of the material (he thinks we are nuts) and might be able to set you up by Thursday.

Doc is not in a very good mood today. He told me he went for a long walk after midnight!

Have you given any thought to my suggestion about having your group create a big list of questions?

Sorry if I'm not around much. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just really buried!

Oh and try not let the stuff we sent you creep you out too much. I almost included a crucifix with your package it creeped me out so bad.

Sarah P.


Also, I'm hoping that I receive my package today so we'll have something to work with... hope to see you all in the chat later this evening!

Got my reply from Cutey, but it doesn't add very much...

I'm sorry for the late reply. I meant to get back to you and we've been absolutely buried!

I would appreciate my blog being off the radar very much. It's really just for a few friends. Dr. Peiper doesn't read it and I haven't shared it with anyone at work.My last boss made me kill my blog so I'm kinda paranoid.

I am working with an old friend to setup some an online place where we can work together on this. If all goes well it may be up by the end of the week. I'm staying out of his hair for now.

Doc and Banana have a really interesting relationship. I don't know if she can find out more about all of this but he needs her to keep him stable. Between you and me I think what they have is quite serious although I don't know if Banana would admit to it. Doc certainly doesn't mind saying as much privately. It's cute but I don't know where it could possibly go under these circumstances. That's sad.

I think your right about AV knowing Doc in some way for a long time. I suggested to Banana that your group start listing out all the possible questions and possibilities. This isn't usual and if we ever get some answers they're going to be weird. I can feel it. We are observing something unique here. I just don't know what it is.

I was just thinking today that the AV is creepy but they haven't threatened him as far as I can tell. Is the warning for him or is it something else? Are they spells? Why would they deal in these subjects and track him for years - maybe a lifetime? I just have too many questions.

Anyway if you guys can work in that direction I'll try getting this space setup so we can start work.

 		hmm, should we include all of the questions that we've already asked the Dr. and he's refused to answer or just avoided?

I'm a little tired of the PMs telling us how we're supposed to be playing the game, as if we haven't already been doing these things. what do they think we've been doing? Scratching our heads, looking blankly at our computer screens until something new happens? Maybe some of us are sick of askig the Dr. questions BECAUSE HE NEVER TALKS TO THE REST OF US. Bang Head

So....when we present the Dr. with this giant list of questions, he's suddenly going to open up and answer all of our questions?

Yeah, to be honest I think its just a preliminary to introducing another character - someone who will contact us through the website that Sarah is meant to be setting up.

 		Things to appear to be alot one sided at the moment, with the doc not sharing things with us and all that hyexistenz mentioned above. I personally think this website will be key in the game and will provide a way for communication to work better between us, the doc, Sarah etc. It will be aplace dedicated for working on AV. We haven't really got anywhere specific at the moment, it's simply IM and YouTube. With an actual site for us to use, I think things will improve well.
