 		[TRAIL] Love Nevr Dies
aim/myspace/shoutpost/youtube
Just finished an AIM chat with "itstarted1988"...

Quote:
itstarted1988: they speak you listen. Of the Psycaem. You can look forward to games. To your satisfaction, perhaps not... A man, a woman, a line drawn. Not a shepard. Not a shepard. 1988

thethebruce0: What is the Psycaem?

itstarted1988: Where many pool together, searching for acceptance in this web.

thethebruce0: what kind of games can I look forward to?

itstarted1988: They will tear you apart inside if you let them. In 1988, they started, and took many down. They never played again.

thethebruce0: Who was taken down?

itstarted1988: I am a prime example. I've come to terms with my failure... what you need to know is this: LOVE NEVR DIES. There may be broken hearts, deaths, sorrow. Its up to you now. If I could undo this conversation, I would, but He has someone I once loved. He holds all the cards.

thethebruce0: You were taken down in 1988? Who has the person you once loved? Do I need to find this person and stop him?

itstarted1988: I wouldn't burden you with such a thing. That part is your choice. These games He plays have gone on for so long, I have never heard of a person who could stop this madness. I've heard so many tapes, seen so much film... its so hard to absorb even today.

thethebruce0: These games don't sound like fun... does He run these games for His own pleasure?

itstarted1988: Yes, but he is also loved by so many... he is so trusted. In reality he is twisted... a disgusting image of a human being. I am so sorry to be the one to send this message to you.

thethebruce0: that's ok... he has someone you once loved... do you want this person rescued?

itstarted1988: If I could choose... I would only want her safe... If she was still alive... It feels like she is alive, but I don't know. I don't know how to feel anymore. I am beyond repair. What He does to the suitor is much worse than what he does to his carnations. I am lucky to still have my arms. Still I have disgraced all. I am His messenger. That is why he let me keep my arms.

thethebruce0: you work for Him now?

itstarted1988: I am part of the collection.
itstarted1988: He is a sickened man... If you find Violet, tell her that I wi

thethebruce0: wait! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!



so... what exactly happened in 1988?

We've got Psychaem (code?), Violet who may be dead, who was the love of itstarted1988, and 'a man' who plays games and gets people to play them (not a shepard?)... or something. But it all started in 1988. People played His games but were unsuccessfull. And mystery contact here lost everything but his arms, including his love Violet, and is now the Man's messenger, one in a collection...

hmm....

[edit] sounds like a twisted version of the show Drive Razz

itstarted1988 (18:23:24): The word must have spread. Please understand that this is not my will. I am less of a human for doing this. I just thought maybe there was a way.

VerseAdvice (18:24:03): A way to do what?

itstarted1988 (18:24:50): I shouldn't say. I'm lucky to still have my arms. He is not perfect, I'll leave it at that.
itstarted1988 (18:25:11): The message I am to spread is this:
itstarted1988 (18:25:49): They call him Tom, he is a tycoon of sorts /theyspeakyoulisten

VerseAdvice (18:26:56): well, I'll see if others can help.

itstarted1988 (18:27:42): Please don't be a hero to these poor souls... he sees so much

VerseAdvice (18:27:51): Can we help you find Violet?

itstarted1988 (18:29:05): Should you find Violet, tell her I miss her. I never gave up. I now have until 523. remember /theyspeakyoulisten

 		hmm...
google hits show a number of Tom 'tycoon's...

Tom Monaghan (Domino's Pizza)
Sir Tom Farmer (philanthropist)
Sir Tom Hunter (philanthropist)
Tom Carvel (ice cream)
Tom L. Ward (natural gas)

but the /theyspeakyoulisten must mean there's a url hidden in the chat somewhere... or a pointer to a website

 		Someone should get a recording of the message. I didn't leave one, but you have until "5/23" to save the girl.

ETA: All the subdirectories appear (offhand) to be identical comment postings.

 		next steps? or just a poem with / as a line break? (probably the latter)

cometoreapheneversleeps/
hecomestogatherallhissheeps/
hesnotashepard/
notashepard/
eversevered/
untogether/


come to reap he never sleeps
he comes to gether all his sheeps
he's not a shepard
not a shepard
ever severed
untogether


rogi, can you transcribe? is it a puzzle, or just a generic message?

 		I'm much too slow a typist to transcribe it all.
See my previous edit about the subdirectories

his interests end with something different:

but I can't seem to find a way to get the full text.

odd about the subfolders... any subfolder will give the same result. I think that's just a shoutpost thing.

 		Sorry, I've listened to it about 10 times but I really can't understand 90% of what's being said. Can anyone transcribe it for me? I'm sorry!
