Keir I'm going totally mad I'm hallucinating or something and I'm really shaky - I need to get out and talk to someone who knows what's going on.

Eva

What do we reckon, mistake in the game or Eva's really going mad? Especially considering she sends this before:

That's such a long time away but OK it would be nice to do something on my birthday Sunday 18th. Not that it has to be like a date date or anything but we could at least pretend for a minute that we're normal and having a nice time.

Eva

As well as sending another email to Frankie about the crazy ball of light thing.

It's been fixed:

However, it says to Keir not Keir Jones which is what all the others say.

Subject: Happy Valentine's Day

Dear Eva,
Happy Valentine's Day. You probably hate Valentine's Day don't you?
Especially in the present circumstances you won't feel too good. I
don't normally bother with all that kind of thing myself either
but.... you know. About Sunday, we'll meet later in the afternoon in
the shed by the water, let's just turn up and find each other. If
anything goes wrong I'll send a message: Geist is waiting. If you
hear this, get out of there straight away.

with love
Keir.

So any of you bristolians recognise the reference??

'Giest is waiting' is simply a random coded message designed to be used only in the event that something is very wrong and a warning needs to be sent to Eva. Right now in game, it's fairly meaningless - perhaps an offbeat reference to Melvin Geist. Possibly it has some deeper meaning for Keir Jones but not one that he has revealed at this time.

The short form is for right now is to file the phrase as a data point for later on in the game if at all and to not overly worry about it at this time.

Watershed research!

Ive rung the watershed and for our purposes they have 2 things on 2morro that may be of interest:
A one off japanese special film called 'The Laughing Frog' but its supposed to be some sort of black comedy - so maybe not associated with Kenkon/Youshi

The other one is The Science of Sleep, if you look at the website you can see more, however the description includes:
"his fanciful and sometimes disturbing dreams threaten to usurp his waking life as he struggles to draw a line between the two worlds"

Suspiciouly close to our geist situation...

Ive also emailed the watershed with the query:

Are you aware of any upcoming films with any connection to the director/actor Melvin Geist?
Im a big fan of this guy (hes not well known over her however), so if you or any of your collegues (it would be much appreciated if you asked!) had heard of anything, id love to know more?

Finnally, ive perused the website, and listened to the latest podcast to check for anything applicable in there..and sadly there isnt. Just a lot about Casablanca, and the upcoming jap film season,t haty looks legit - ive searched the midnighteye website they discuss, but again, it looks legit, and no Geist references etc in there.
