 		Looks like it. I posted on Jared's ficpress forum telling him about the problem we're having, and suggested that he figure out a way to upload...how's that for a twist? lol!

WE DIDN'T DO IT IN TIME… -February 6th

Words cannot express the fear that's stealing through our town at this moment. The Beast seems to be everywhere at once. Once an hour, a shriek tears through the air, and we know another victim has been claimed.

Sirens are wailing almost constantly. The Beast is on a rampage, and I know this means only one thing- we didn't finish the task in time. School was closed today because of the cold, but it's a good thing there are no people on the streets today.

I don't know when the carnage is going to stop. So far, I've heard of five victims: Mrs. Teal, Tom's older sister Heather, Bernardo the janitor from school, Nadine from the Teen Club, and Jason Ferna, my next-door neighbor.

I'm terrified. I know that sooner or later, the Beast is going to come to me. This is all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't convince enough people to perform the ritual. It's my fault that the second task didn't get completed. These deaths-- are on MY shoulders.

I don't know how I'm ever going to live with this, if I survive today.

If I don't talk to anyone again, then… thank you. Thanks for your support. Thanks for your help in trying to beat down the Organization. I'm hoping that they only take a handful of victims, and then allow us to prove ourselves once more. But I don't know…

I hope this isn't goodbye. Pray for me.

 		Well folks, que the dirge, we missed the deadline!

But anyway, I don't think this one is going to die off...Jared just pm'ed me. He, his still-ailing mom, and his dad are holed up in his house. After suggesting they just leave the place, he said that some had planned a mass exodus last night, but just ended up back in BK, a'la Blair Witch.

When I asked if anyone had just tried to shoot the damn thing, he thougth that maybe some had tried, although he'd not heard any gunfire.

Oh well, dem's da breaks. Too bad 1) the pm's didn't think of a task that we could have all participated in, and that 2) so many potential players were run off early on.

You'll have to excuse my responses to the mystery man, I was feeling a bit snarky...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
But anyway, it was a pretty easy code, all hex, same sentance repeated four times....

we are always watching


So, "the killing won't stop", "the killing will stop"...make up your mind, oh ebony clad one!

His dad and his brothers (whose gf was killed by the beast last time).

The main reason we assumed his mom was because Christina Sheck, who had also been threatened was killed in this last round. So it would fit a pattern of sorts

No, just Jared and his parents. But, we were thinking that it looks like the beast might have gone after people who had already been attacked. If you read Chpt 14, it looks like it picked off that Christina girl who blogged about it. Sooooo, we figured that since his mom was already attacked....

If that IM I go earlier from the man in black is actually ingame, she might have been one of the two yet to die...sooooo, who's the other one???

Of course, we may have just received notice that the game is over.

eta...oh jeez, Tree, you're quick!! Trout
