 		All right, so we have someone trying to lean a bit on GetMEOut?

 		I think Econjen could be a possible inroad as well, just need to set up an irresistible bet.

 		A rather eye-opening post on SO from HPhack in the "Packages for you 2" thread:

HPhack wrote:
I keep trying to breathe deeply and not let my paranoia get the worst of me, although my hands shake as I type this.

I know some people shred their junk mail, but I don't have a shredder. I have an old paint can. Once a week or so, when the pile gets big enough, I take all that junk mail with all those unknown scams and personal details and stuff it in the can and burn it. Best way to avoid urban dumpster divers from M.I.T. and Harvard.

I normally expect to find some little bits and pieces of postal debris rattling in the can when I go to use it next: staples, clasps, paperclips, small bits of melted plastic, even the occassional flame-resistent gimmick item (like a fake car key last week.) That's why each week I dump the contents of the last burn into a grocery sack before burning more. What I did not expect to find this evening, though, were crickets. Hundreds of crickets. A seething mass of sharp, insistently-clinging legs that seemed to appear from everywhere at once when I shook the can into the bag. I did my best to squash as many of them as I could, starting with the ones crawling up my hand and arm. Eventually the remnant survivors of the cricket army retreated into cracks in the masonry and drainpipes from the gutter. I could still hear chirping.

Returning to the scene later with some rubber gloves and a heftier trashbag, I tried to clean up the evidence of my massacre. That's when I noticed that among the corpses of the insects and the ashes and the postal debris was a large charred bronze coin with a black cat figure on it.

The whole mess went directly to the public trashcan on the corner. Now that the shock of the crickets is wearing off, I'm far more worried about that coin. That means the psychic sent me a package too, doesn't it? For some reason, it was easier to think of her as being someone who was contacting other people. It fills me with a sense of dread to think that she reached out to me. It is like she has bound us together whether we like it or not, as now I am part of the set of people who received menancing mail. Great. Thanks. Did she pick me out for particular torment for some reason?

I think I hear a cricket hiding in the living room.

Surprised

 		Okay, I'm with him on the creepiness of crickets (ever since the crickets we had to feed my sister's anole turned mutant and started eating the poor little guy), but I am not imagining that he sounds a trifle unstable, am I?

Knew I smelled weakness. Ah well, poor guy.

Unfortunately, it sounds as if he may have burned it. :0

 		As the coin was charred, I think the package might have been burned. But ick! Creepy crawlies *shudder* Creepy crawlies en masse *big shudder*

 		I think the important thing to establish is that he's one of us; Is there any more indication needed that he's the unstable one we need to push to our side?

I guess I could try to get his trust, especially due to the shared interest in art. Also, you think they might trust us more if there seemed to be some disagreement in out ranks? I'm game to act like I've picked a fight with someone. As long as it doesn't spill OOG that is.

Edit: I went ahead and Private Messaged GetMEOut as an innocent little art question. Hopefully it'll go from there.

I think whatever we do, we should not link him to anything related to cricket parasites.

I hate parasites.
