 		 [TRAILHEAD] EnochOfGatewood
Is this the beginning of a new ARG?
I just had this very unusual AIM chat with EnochOfGatewood. He just contacted me right out of the blue and I have no idea who he is but It sounds interesting. So, I'm posting here to see what you guys think.

It's not possible to tell from the following but the message in there was "drawing down the wolf" and where he says "My own little Space" may mean there is a blog somewhere we need to find. Right now I have a chat to get ready for that is happening in a couple of hours so you guys get to work and see what this is.

I attached the html version which is much easier to read and you can see how "drawing down the wolf" is in there.

Quote:
EnochOfGatewood (4:40:13 PM): hello
Sylviaaaaaaaa (4:38:21 PM): hello
Sylviaaaaaaaa (4:38:30 PM): who are you
EnochOfGatewood (4:40:59 PM): Consider me a friend.
Sylviaaaaaaaa (4:39:06 PM): ok
EnochOfGatewood (4:41:23 PM): Do you fear the dark?
Sylviaaaaaaaa (4:39:23 PM): no
EnochOfGatewood (4:41:53 PM): Excellent. Gatewood has use for people like you.
Sylviaaaaaaaa (4:40:36 PM): and what would that be
EnochOfGatewood (4:44:14 PM): The internet is such an exiting thing for me. I'm sorry, I failed to introduce myself. I am Father Enoch. This is my first time contacting an outsider in many years... it feels good to have My own little Space...
EnochOfGatewood signed off at 4:42:31 PM.
EnochOfGatewood signed on at 5:32:35 PM.
EnochOfGatewood (5:34:57 PM): my apologies for my abrupt departure.
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:33:28 PM): who are you
EnochOfGatewood (5:35:52 PM): I am Father Enoch, headmaster of Gatewood.
EnochOfGatewood (5:36:46 PM): We here in Gatewood are a very small group, who live peacefully away from the burden of high-tension society.
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:35:12 PM): that's cool, but why do you say you have use of people like me?
EnochOfGatewood (5:37:28 PM): May I call you Sylvia?
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:35:49 PM): yes, please do
EnochOfGatewood (5:39:45 PM): Well Sylvia, it is generally true that people fear what they do not understand. Our brothers and sisters have been ridiculed throughout time, some even hunted down like animals. I asked if you fear the dark, as we embrace darkness here. That statement alone has put fear into many outsiders, and we wish for that not...
EnochOfGatewood (5:39:48 PM): to happen
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:38:19 PM): I think i understand
EnochOfGatewood (5:43:04 PM): excellent. We have many issues here in Gatewood that can only be resolved from a different perspective. During last nights divination, your name was seen through the eyes of one of our own. We thought that perhaps you would be one brave enough not to fear what is so easily misunderstood... is this making sense?
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:42:30 PM): I think I'm drawing a conclusing
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:42:46 PM): and therefore understanding
EnochOfGatewood (5:45:40 PM): Delightful. Our own students here have so much to learn from outsiders, but we live by one major law. That we cannot leave Gatewood. Such a venture could destroy all that we have worked for.
EnochOfGatewood (5:49:18 PM): You seem very bright... I see much potential in you.
EnochOfGatewood (5:49:25 PM): /
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:47:35 PM): thank you
EnochOfGatewood (5:55:10 PM): I must go for now, as I have to prepare for our next class. We will speak again soon. Perhaps you can help us to find others like yourself, that is, who do not fear the unknown. May The Wolf Guide You.
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:54:01 PM): will do
Sylviaaaaaaaa (5:54:07 PM): have a good night
EnochOfGatewood (5:56:20 PM): Thank You again Sylvia, and you as well.

 		How did you decipher that? Smile

It was obviously meant to say "only the fearless"

 		The "HZK" combo made this one pretty easy.
Just followed the basic cryptogram rules.

When it does get too crazy to attempt by hand, I've had good luck with the cryptogram helper over at www.oneacross.com

 		What the heck - I'm spreading myself thin, but we'll see... I went ahead and commented to Enoch, we'll see what happens. His friend choice so far is... um... typical of a male Wink

 		Yeah Razz I must say I was liking his friends...I think they might be fake, well at least the one I clicked on. All the comments are from like today and yesterday, so just made to be added to his friends list.

 		Here's a piece of information from my conversation.

Quote:
MTKelvin07: What is Gatewood?

EnochOfGatewood: Gatewood is a community, a structure. a way of seeking out that which our hands may not reach.

MTKelvin07: Can explain some more?

EnochOfGatewood: Before us stands a wall. It is not one that we can see, as it does not take physical form. It's purpose is to hold us back from reaching a potential that eludes us. Do not let your senses decieve you, open up, and as you discover more, you shall be able to feel it

Isabell,

That was incredibly funny what you did in Father Weston's class today. We just got a new computer here in Gatewood XI. So now I'm off to see if I can find you on the web. I started a journal online today. Catch me if you can!

 		The second of his profile pictures is an segment of a letter from a Father to a Sister. It may be coincidence, but the first letters visible on each line spells out "SEEK FIVE". As I said, it may be coincidence, but I can see no other real point to having the fragment there.
