 		no its not too late to join. you just have to wait till the people compiling the posts get back on here and add you. its not really a membership thing anyways. and shards, im not raggin on you guys im just saying. we need to get our stories strait so that we are on the same page. so, please just clarify your ideas.

and ionic, that sounds good. but for now we really dont have anything that would tie jpike and alan other than the fact they lived in the same room. we have nothing to tie green to jeff. we dont know of anything to tie green to alan, that we know of. we know that alan met mr. phone message man at a s by sw thing and that alan is a journaist. then we know about claudia and people a bit. but we dont know if julian is the art theif and if he has any ties to jeff, green, or alan.

EDIT: and since we cannot get a hold of alan, we cannot get a hold of the key. even if we had the right words to say, we wouldnt be able to say them.

 		which theme?
ok so we need a theme that both we and Mr. Phone message know.
what do sunglasses, handbags, and kmq (maybe not that one "kiss me quick?") have in common with what we know?

we know there is something (probably illegal going on) 4 candidates (4 words on the awning [2 we know, 2 we don't])?

 		Hm
Found this, dont know if it has to do with anything
* Under-and-Over formats: These are systems in which the left and right pair are presented above and below each
other, either as formatted on a film frame (see stereo attachments), matted together as a pair of prints, or scanned as
a top and bottom separated pair on a television screen (to be viewed with prismatic glasses, such as the "KMQ" brand
viewers). Generally, a mirrored or prism viewing device is used to enable the observer to fuse the pair. These
systems lend themselves to images with wide "aspect ratios" (image width can far exceed height) whereas
side-by-side systems lend themselves to tall aspect ratios. Such a format is sometimes used in the gallery display of
stereographs, as it may be used for views of almost any size --one merely views larger pairs from a greater distance.


Dont know if it has to do with anything, i do know that lentes - lenses, which is how i kinda found this.


Edit: in the edgar allen poe book, he states that he uses green lenses to find this note, the reason he does this is so people cannot see his eyes move around, thus not being able to tell hes searching for anything at all.

Once Again, Kmq, Lenses, Lenses in book? Dont know :\

 		I think
I think its KMQ, maybe were taking it for what it is and not focusing on what it could be, all the QMK Variations, MQK, etc.

Note: to sum up the book very shortly, this guy has to find this note, well he ends up finding the note (with those green lenses on) BUT the note he finds isnt even what was described to him. meaning were probably searching for KMQ, when in all reality its probably something totally diffrent, ill post some main points of the story that i read in a few moments. maybe someone will get more out of it.

 		Repost of ed story
"There is a game of puzzles," he resumed, "which is played upon a map. One party playing requires another to find a given word --the name of town, river, state or empire --any word, in short, upon the motley and perplexed surface of the chart. A novice in the game generally seeks to embarrass his opponents by giving them the most minutely lettered names; but the adept selects such words as stretch, in large characters, from one end of the chart to the other. These, like the over-largely lettered signs and placards of the street, escape observation by dint of being excessively obvious; and here the physical oversight is precisely analogous with the moral inapprehension by which the intellect suffers to pass unnoticed those considerations which are too obtrusively and too palpably self-evident. But this is a point, it appears, somewhat above or beneath the understanding of the Prefect. He never once thought it probable, or possible, that the Minister had deposited the letter immediately beneath the nose of the whole world, by way of best preventing any portion of that world from perceiving it.

^ I still think this is probably the BEST clue to what we have, read what this says and think of what we are looking at


"At length my eyes, in going the circuit of the room, fell upon a trumpery filigree card-rack of pasteboard, that hung dangling by a dirty blue ribbon, from a little brass knob just beneath the middle of the mantelpiece. In this rack, which had three or four compartments, were five or six visiting cards and a solitary letter. This last was much soiled and crumpled. It was torn nearly in two, across the middle --as if a design, in the first instance, to tear it entirely up as worthless, had been altered, or stayed, in the second. It had a large black seal, bearing the D-- cipher very conspicuously, and was addressed, in a diminutive female hand, to D--, the minister, himself. It was thrust carelessly, and even, as it seemed, contemptuously, into one of the upper divisions of the rack.

^^ Again, maybe a clue?
"I protracted my visit as long as possible, and, while I maintained a most animated discussion with the Minister, on a topic which I knew well had never failed to interest and excite him, I kept my attention really riveted upon the letter. In this examination, I committed to memory its external appearance and arrangement in the rack; and also fell, at length, upon a discovery which set at rest whatever trivial doubt I might have entertained. In scrutinizing the edges of the paper, I observed them to be more chafed than seemed necessary. They presented the broken appearance which is manifested when a stiff paper, having been once folded and pressed with a folder, is refolded in a reversed direction, in the same creases or edges which had formed the original fold. This discovery was sufficient. It was clear to me that the letter had been turned, as a glove, inside out, re-directed, and re-sealed. I bade the Minister good morning, and took my departure at once, leaving a gold snuff-box upon the table.

^^ now this right there, i think is a big clue.
