Email from Peeps
and a Happy B day wish too

Quote:

Hello Red,

Happy Birthday to you! Very Happy

Thank you for all your help! This would not have been possible without you. I do look forward to watching little Peeps grow into a big boy.

I suppose I will soon go by the name Thomas, but to be honest, I shall always be the man called Peeps. Maybe I can make it my middle name. Thank you for my sister's email address. I will write her today and say hello. I am so nervous, but from what you have all told me, she sounds very nice.

I will address you Sammeeeees today about my plans. I think it will be gabcast but I will let you know. Thanks again, Red, for taking the time out of your very busy life (of children and puppiesand everything else) and stopping to help me, an ordinary man. Very Happy

I hope you have a great birthday!
Peeps

Hello enaxor,

Thank you for everything. You are very kind to give me Sara's address. I will write to her today. I must admit I am very nervous to meet my family, but I am also very, very excited. There is no way to thank you Sammeeeees for what you have done for me, the five and the world. You sacrificed so much. Thank you. Thank you. I will think of you often on my ordinary road ahead. I know I have said it before but it must be said one more time.....thank you, enaxor, for taking the time out of your busy life and stopping to help me, an ordinary man. You saved the five and the world! Smile

A Sweet Note from Happy

Quote:

Hey Red,

A mutual friend told me today is your day! I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful birthday! The "five" and I would also like to thank you for all your help. We heard from the Tall Man last night that you are the one that translated the scribbles on the disc! Woot! Thank you! I hope you have a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy birthday! And we all saw your puppy pics last night! We love your Peeps! The whole gang last night toasted the new Peeps! Smile

Thank you for your help, Red. You really helped to make it such a happy ending.
I am Happy!

Hmm, I think we have something to find.

Hello again, enaxor.
Many of you Sammeeeees have asked about Mister Abbott. I thought I should tell someone what I heard yesterday. I can only tell you that Mr. Johnson mumbled about him yesterday during his many rantings. At one point he did say "Mister Abbott is gone forever" five times. And then he mumbled something like "you can all see for yourself". I don't know if he did something to Mister Abbott or he was just cursing him. I wish I could tell you all more. There seems to be no trace of him anywhere.

Also, I was so sleepy when I first read your note this morning, I did not see that you addressed me as Thomas. Thank you, enaxor. It will be a new life for me as Thomas. Thank you.

[EMAIL] Sara Says Yes & Peeps Says No Video
- but we might get a picture

Sara wrote:

Of course you can give Thomas my email! This is unbelievable! I have goose bumps all over. I can't quite believe its true! I have had so many daydreams about meeting my brother again. I am nervous and happy and crying. My Mom! This is going to make our Christmas time so incredible! I have already begun to prepare my Mom a little because your last email was so hopeful. I told her I was searching for Thomas again. She smiled and nodded. She really doesn't believe we will ever find him. Do you think Thomas would come here for the holidays? I live in Amherst, Massachusetts. My Mom lives really close by. It would be just perfect if he could come home. Tell Thomas I can't wait to hear from him. Thank you so much for finding my brother for me. You and your friends have done such a wonderful thing for my family. I hope you and your friends find what you were searching for when you stumbled onto my brother and I. Good luck with that. Be well and I hope you enjoy your holidays.

My email to Peeps this morning:

konamouse wrote:

You're welcome, Peeps.
I have asked Sara for her permission to be in contact with the person we are certain is her brother, Thomas. And it seems that Mr Alan Johnson confirmed that as well as Dr. Kinder during Mildred's seance.
I'm so excited you are going to celebrate your birthday with friends and family this year.

I have to work today, I hope I'm home in time for your message - my friends and I would love to finally meet the real you (not this icon from your MySpace). The picture Sara gave us of you as a child was so cute. Maybe you can get some help from the Singing Nun and Timothy et al to do a video message?

Just so nice to hear that everyone is safe....
but we still don't know what happened to Mr Abbott - is he still out there?

His reply:

Peeps wrote:

Hello Heather,

I don't know about a video message. Even to make a voice message makes me very,very nervous, but I will try to have someone take a picture of me. Maybe in Keely's garden. Thank you again for everything.

During Mr. Johnson's ranting yesterday, one thing he mumbled five times was "Mister Abbott is gone forever". I don't know if this is true or if he was worried that Mr. Abbott was gone forever or what, but he did say it five times and also said something like "you can all see for yourself".

My message will be much later today. I'm sure you will be home for it. Thank you, dear friend.

Thank you for word about Mr Abbott. Good to know he won't be around to hurt anyone else ever again.

Enjoy your life as an ordinary man, Peeps (or Thomas, or both). You will always be welcome to contact any of us Sammeeeees in the future.

Happy birthday, and happy holidays.

Hugs forever,
Heather

[EMAIL] Higgs thinks I'm "kick ass"

Okay, so throughout this ARG it's been pretty obvious that "Heather" (my arg playing persona) developed a crush on Higgs. It's been fun joking about it and as with the other player/character interactions, the PMs have been cool about it as well. I had to be consistent and left Higgs a nice note for the end-game:

konamouse wrote:

Subject: When you are out -
I just wanted you to have something cute & friendly in your email. Me!

Seriously, we are going to end Spoocheeeee control forever on Sunday. I just hope it's in time to save Peeps.

I can't believe I used the word "seriously" and "spoocheeeee" in the same sentence. This surreal experience has changed a lot of lives the past two months.

I'm a very sane, intelligent (and many tell me, pretty) woman. I can't believe we all got thrown down this rabbithole into Peep's life. Amazing how small the world has become with the internet.

When you are ready to celebrate your release out in the real world, you are always welcome in Las Vegas. I'd love the company.

Hugs,
Heather

He responded this morning:

Higgs wrote:

Thanks, Heather. That was a kick ass video yesterday from the Mouse Tank! We were all gathered around the computer at Happy's and we were blown away by what you did for us. You are completely the coolest.

Can't say I am shedding any tears for Johnson today. Happy called me this morning and said she kinda felt bad for him. I reminded her how Johnson killed Barney and so many more. The guy was a wacko.

Thanks for keeping it all together. We, the five, were and are totally clear that without you leading the way, none of this would have gone down the way it did. As Nedd Ludd would say, you are a goddess! I would definitely be into toasting to the end of Spoocheeeee with you the next time I'm in Vegas. Love that town! Smile

Thank you for being there for us. You're an awesome and kick ass woman.
Higgs

I'm just going to have one very big question for the PMs.....was the "Higgs" actor a PM or just an "actor"?????

And I mean what I say for ANY of the PMs/Actors in this ARG - when you're in Vegas, PLEASE CALL/EMAIL me!!!!!

I sent this to Peeps:

Quote:

Dear Peeps,

I hardly know what to say. I am overjoyed that you and the five and the White Roses are safe. Spoocheeeee can't hurt anyone ever again. I see that my co-Sammeeeees have given you your sister's email address. I am so happy that you will be reunited with her. You have two families now, your sister and her son and then all of us. We all love you very much Peeps. You are a very lucky ordinary man. Have a wonderful life and please remember, if you need any help with your garden, don't hesitate to write to me.

Love and all the best,
Dashcat

And he replied:

Hello Dashcat,

I have just received my first note from my sister, Sara. She has invited me to her home for the holidays. In fact, she is pushing for me to leave very soon and to spend my birthday with them as well. This is all due to the efforts of you and the other Sammeeeees. It is very true when you said you are my family. You are very much my family. I promise I will write with my gardening questions. My sister, Sara, says she loves to garden as well! She also tells me she lives in Amherst, Massachusetts. So, I don't think I will get to do much gardening while I'm visiting this time of year. The spring will come. Smile

Thank you, Dashcat, for taking the time out of your busy life and stopping to help me, an ordinary man. I will think of you everytime I am in my garden. Take care of yourself and I hope that you too have a very, very happy life.

[EMAIL] From The Tall Man 12 -11
re: the fake snake

I asked Timothy about the snake replica on 12-9. He sent this via hushmail:
Question: Who saved the world and the five and Peeps from Spoocheeeee?
Answer: the Sammeeeees

Quote:

Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006
The snake replica turned out great. It really did manage to keep
Peeps safe. It was such a good idea and frankly the only thing
that probably kept Peeps alive. If Mr. Johnson found out Peeps
didn't have it, Peeps would have been killed immediately. The
betrayal and feeling of vulnerability would have set off Al the
knife for sure. Thank you for everything. The world owes it all
to you Sammeeeees. Jean Moulin was talking nonstop late last night
about some statue he wants made of all of you and some horses. I
think its a perfect idea.

My farewell of sorts to peeps

Quote:

My dearest Friend peeps.
I just awoke to the news that Mr Alan Johnson is no more.
I cant quite describe my emotions this morning, part of me is a little bit
sad, because I wish so many deaths could have been avoided, yet I am so
overwhelmingly happy to know that all the Sammeeeees are free.
And for you, my friend, to know that you may be able to walk the path of an
ordinary man, and the exciting news that you may have a sister out there?
Oh how wonderfully exciting the days to come for you are.
I am so glad you got to spend your day as an ordinary man in your garden,
and on the beach, just think of all the days you will be able to spend now
tending these things.
Thank you for sharing with me over these past few months.
Your sammeeeee Friend
Sallyyyyy

And his response, which made me sniffle a few times

Quote:

Hello Sallyyyyy,
Last night was very much a mix of emotions. I was so happy to hear that you Sammeeeees had ended Spoocheeeee. As the Jackals walked away from Mr. Johnson's house, I knew this must be the reason, but I was still very frightened of Mr. Johnson. His behavior all day had been so up and down. When Dwin came in the front door, my heart sank. I was afraid both Dwin and I were doomed. Patricia Moore showed great courage to come and face Mr. Johnson they way she did. The time seemed to slow down during their struggle. When Mr. Johnson fell onto his knife, I was torn between two worlds. This man has been the root of so much evil and for him to fall on his own knife seemed like justice. But I could not help but feel sad for Alan Walker, my brother. I wish his life had turned out differently for him. Last night as he fell, I did have a flash of memory. It was more a sensation of fear that lifted out of me. I'm sure with the right guidance and therapy I will learn more about that feeling last night and my life before Spoocheeeee.
Thank you for everything, Sallyyyyy. I do not want to say goodbye to you. It has been so nice to get to know you and to have you at my side for this journey.
Please always take care of yourself. You are such a great person and have a heart filled with so much love. I feel so lucky that our paths crossed and we shared this time together. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to stop and help an ordinary man.
Peeps

Final transcript:

Quote:

Black and white photo of a man who I guess is Peeps, but looks to me more like Hunter S. Thompson.

Good evening, I am Thomas Walker. I'm afraid it will take some time for me to get used to saying the words 'Thomas Walker.' Where do I begin Sammeeeees? You know how I feel about all of you. You have been the greatest friends a man could ask for. Thank you. Not only did you save the Five and the world from Spoocheeeee, but you also gave to me a family. This is a gift I could have never imagined. Thank you. I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a place called Amherst Massachusetts. My sister Sara and her family live in this town. I will be staying with them while I decide what I will be doing with the rest of my life. I have the feeling I will not be far from a garden with this choice. I will also be reunited with my mother. Sara said she has always spoken with our mother about me, and tells me that my mother is very excited to see me again. This idea of seeing her has given me an overwhelming feeling of happiness I will be spending Christmas with my family because of your good hearts, Sammeeeees. I do not want to drag out our goodbye; this is very difficult for me. I want you to know that I wish you all the best in life. If you ever need my help, please write to me. [music starts] You have my email address. Thank you Sammeeeees, for taking the time out of your busy lives and stopping to help an ordinary man. Good night, and goodbye.

picture changes to young Thomas Walker and his parents as "Time After Time" plays

fade to black, then white text

Couldn't let you go without / our theme song. / Goodbye, Sammeeeees.

My last email from Thomas Peeps Walker.

Quote:

Dear Thomas,
My happiness upon hearing of your safety and bright future, is matched only by my gratitude. I am thankful for having had the chance to get to know you, the White Roses, the Five, all the Sammeeeees, and everyone involved with this quest to save the world.
May your garden, and new family, bring you years of joy.
Happy Birthday to you, dear Peeps.
Drizabella

Quote:

Hello Drizabella,

Thank you for your kind note. I wish for you the very same happiness.
You have been a very special friend.

I have spent much of today communicating with my sister, Sara. It feels unusually comfortable to talk with her. It is as if we already know so much about each even though we are strangers. It is very much the same way I felt when I met you and the other Sammeeeees. There is something there, between friends and family and sometimes strangers that is very comforting. I guess it is a feeling of being connected. Thank you again, Drizabella, for taking the time from your very busy life to stop and help me, an ordinary man. I hope we all meet again one day.
Thomas Peeps Walker

Yeah...we Sammeeeees... we're all connected.
