[Email] From Betty

I emailed Betty a while ago..

Quote:
We need you Betty,
Cant you come home Early?
Now more than ever the Sammeeeees need you.
There has been talk of a Barney Sighting, surely that cannot be true.
Please let me know that you are OK and safe in London.

If there is anything the Sammeeeees can do for you please, please let us
know.
We need to stay strong, we need to stay together

Your old Friend
Sallyyyyy




And she responded today:

Quote:


i promise i will return soon. i also promise i will explain everything to you about "the dog" when i return. are you okay? how are the others? gerold told me peeps isn't doing well. he's caught in the in between. have you met gerold yet? he's weird but good. he doesn't have all the answers but he knows a ton about what's going on. he understands this freak dark temple of johnson's and how the johnson eidolon has crossed over to us. you can contact him by leaving a comment on my myspace. simply use the phrase "we cannot fail".
hugs to you my friend
we cannot fail
betty

Okay, I made my first movements toward Betty. Sorry to have to do this Sad

Hi Betty,
I'm a friend of some of the Sammeeeees, and I was wondering if you were back in the states yet, and how your trip went. It's important for people to keep in touch, after all, it seems many Sammeeeees are in danger right now. Have you heard noises at your window, Betty? Do you keep the shutters closed in fear of what lies in the darkness? Take care of yourself, because something is waiting out in the dark.

See you later,
Tal

Smile Sorry about my earlier message. Bad day, and my morbidness was showing. I am however quite worried about everyone. I haven't heard any scratching at my window. In my attic, yes, but my window? Nope.

Oddest thing though, I woke up this past morning and the screen on my window was missing. (my window is at least nine feet above the ground) Creepy, huh?

Ah hah!!!!! Maybe if she has the answer, we NEED her inside the temple to do the job afterall?

Then the question becomes, do we tell her we need to bring her in (and she works WITH us, doing the mission that Dick White set out for us) or do we not let her know ahead of time.

Good job. I just hope it takes a little while before the dogs get her.
You might want to point her to the spells webpage so she has some ammunition to hold out against The Trinity for as long as possible?

I just sent Betty an email telling her not to talk to you Taluria Smile At least not until we all know the plan, if there is one. I also told her about the salt and the site with the protection spells.

I could be misunderstanding this and probably am since most of the recent events have confused me but I sort of got the impression that you aren't really supposed to take anyone's soul to eidolon. And if you are going to do that you should at least ask the person if they are willing to help in this plan, shouldn't you?

Color me confused.

dash, how did you know Taluria talked to Betty?
Did Taluria post it in an IG forum? Did Betty post about it publically? Cool

And yes, we are all a bit confused about what we are suppose to do.
We are suppose to figure out how to close the damn portal with MrAJ on the inside.

Some of us went inside, some stayed outside.
Those inside the nave are portals that allow access by The Trinity to find someone on the outside and bring their souls over to the nave. That is why we are not safe to contact while we are inside. But we are on the same mission. We need to have a means to officially communicate IG. I tried that with the WeAreSammeeeees.blogspot - but I guess that doesn't work.

And now MrAJ wants more souls. So he sends us out with the caveat that we CAN contact everyone EXCEPT that person to whom we pledged to bring back. So is this a means for us to do that communication (behind his back)?

But technically, you guys don't know that yet, until either MrGerold lets you know on Mildred's forum, or I post that information on WeAreSammeeees (and you all see it, and believe it).

And that leads to the question posted above.
a) Do the Darksiders agree to do this and we all fail and no one is taken over to the nave.
b) Do the Darksiders try to fulfill all of their assignments?
c) Do the Darksiders try to get one soul to show MrAJ he can trust us (possible that only those who succeed get into the closest part of the temple where the secret of his portal can be found)? And then do we try to take someone who is willing to cross over withus vs unknowingly? All questions I've posed in chat and in uF looking for feedback and comments from all of us players.

Kona I have no idea. As I said I am confused by all of this. Betty replied and basically cleared up some stuff for me. I take it that whether we like it or not more of us have to go to the darkside. She doesn't sound worried.

Quote:
thanks, dashcat! i will do whatever keeps me safe. could you do me a favor and send me a list of who is under nedd's bed? hey i'm sure the sammeeeees on the dark side have no intentions to harm anyone. there's probably a very cool plan to take out this creepy johnson eidolon. they're like higgs. right? they took the risk to go over to try to figure this out. maybe they need more sammeeeees to get into the sanctuary or something. i look forward to hearing about it. thanks again. take care, dashcat, i hear johnson's looking for you guys as well.
betty



And yes, actually I was so confused I used a source....this board....that I shouldn't have. Doh.

But, you got a proper response! We know that it will be okay to bring Betty over. Maybe we have to get to that goal of 30 afterall? And I'll bet Betty has the key. I've just sent another response back to Mister Gerold in that vein. Let's see if he bites the hook and gives us a similar response. Then we'll know it's okay to "take" her.

[META]I briefly mentioned this in chat this morning. I told chixor I have a blond friend who could stand-in as Betty and we came up with an idea to set up a picture of my friend (back to camera) looking at a picture of the Trinity on the computer screen. I could send this picture to the Eidolon after we've made sufficient contact with Betty (and she agrees to go) as proof we have succeeded on our mission. Since it would be in email, the PM could choose to use it or not.[/META]

I did something similar to what dashcat did. After I got this email from DoEP saying "WHERE IS MY HEART? SAVE MY HEART, DRIZABELLA!", I was heartbroken for him. And so, I sent a myspace message to Betty.
Quote:
Dear Betty,
Though we haven't meet, I am a Sammeeeee.

Please, use whatever protection you can from this evil trinity.
http://barkatthemoonthreetimes.blogspot.com/
Print that out and tape it up everywhere.

http://savetheboykona.blogspot.com/
Paint that under your bed.

Here's a link with protective spells. http://andails.blogspot.com/
I understand that the salt circles are helpful.

And Beg Mithras.

Be wary. And be safe.

Drizabella


Here's her reply:
Quote:
thanks so much, drizabella. i do know about the hand. i keep it near always. i will also paint the square under my bed. very cool about the salt. who knew salt could be so protective? it means a lot to have you guys watching my back.

Based on Mildred's email here:
I wonder if it might be a good idea to try to get our hands on Trinket??? Sounds like Mildred's plan would work...keeps the Trinity from getting their hands on Trinket directly and gives Mr. AJ what he wants.

Thoughts???

(Edited link to specific post.~drizjr)

thoughts:
In the gamescape, I'm afraid for Trinket; she seems so fragile. Surely, seeing her sister among the Trinity would rip her psyche apart. If Mildred is suggesting that it would be better for her to be lead over gently, like what Higgs was trying to do for Peeps when the Trinity intervened, then maybe that is the thing to do.

On the metaside, it seems like the thing that the infiltrators are being lead to do. It might be as easy as posting something like, "Trinket, take my hand" on her myspace or LJ.

But we're not assigned to her, so direct contact may not work.

Unless we get Higgs to her. If we can get him out there. I can send another email to him.

Edit to add: Higg's response was a poster from a movie "No Escape" posted on my Comments. I think that means he cannot get out of the temple and cannot go get Trinket. Sad

[EMAIL] 7/8 Betty Willing - in a week

konamouse wrote:
Subject: Are you up for a mission - only open if you are ready.
As you probably know by now, I am one of those who went across to the false temple. And you probably have heard about the mission the Eidolon has set upon us. Mister Gerold seems to think that maybe we should have some success in bringing over some more Sammeeees or White Roses. I don't understand since that creepy Eidolon claimed he only needs 30 souls to do the dirty deed - but maybe we have to get his quota in order to find the damn portal.

If you opened this email, and you are reading this, then you know my assignment was to contact you....to bother you with the scratching at your window. To open you up to the Trinity. But I'm hoping that maybe by taking my hand you can come over in a manner such as myself, Higgs, and the others. Maintaining your sanity and ability to guide those of us inside the nave towards our ultimate goal.

If you are willing, then I can brag to the Eidolon about my success and then offer to bring you over myself, protecting you from the Trinity. That should put me in very fine stead with the creep (and closer to the sanctuary) and keep your mortal self in a safer place (make sure you have some on the other side to take care of you while your soul is with us).

There are others who were given your name. Methos & Taluria for sure (the creep made a stupid joke about us being a new Trinity - ugh!). You can decide and let us know.

Quote:
my guess is gerold is only suggesting you succeed with a couple souls, not to give johnson's eidolon his quota, but to appease the jackass so we can get a couple more of us into the sanctuary to look around. my gut reaction is to say yes, i'll go, but let me think about it. there's a problem. i might be very close to having something that might help us. there is a book a friend of gerold's found on a dig of some mithras temple. i am waiting for permission to visit the book. it is locked away here at the university. i've gone through so much paper work to get to this, i don't want to leave yet. this is a really hard decision. can we wait? like a week or maybe more? i suppose now that you and i have made contact, i am at risk to be visited by the trinity. you know, i would like to help you guys. let me write to gerold and see what he suggests. i'll write again later.
betty


So, she is willing, but just needs a little more time. I have 7 more days. Bringing her at the end of the week will give MrAJ 26 souls. If we can keep the total at 29 or less, we should be okay (but I worry about Dwin's sanity).

I agree we have to avoid reaching 30 souls. If you haven't heard, Trinket sacrificed herself last night (to protect Happy). She thought she could exchange Happy for Tutu, who turns out is one of the Trinity, but of course MrAJ fooled her AGAIN, and when she realized that, she let herself go to him - but also slashed her own wrists. The good news is that Jayne found her in time and she's in the hospital right now (with Ben). But that brings the Eidolon's total up to 25.

I was hoping you would have found something that would help us figure out what we're looking for inside the temple. I only have 7 more days on the outside to bring you (or Mildred), will that be enough time? What if tell the Eidolon I have made contact but that I want to bring you myself (instead of him sending The Trinity). If he agrees then I can hold it off until you get the book we need?

Let me know. Mister Gerold told me about a board that Mildred started for all of you guys to communicate. But it's too dangerous to the UNBC (Under Nedds Bed Crew) for those of us in the nave to go in there. Cause we all have different assignments. Some have been tasked to bring over Nedd himself. Others given Mildred (like myself), Jean Moulin (he might be a formable soul to have on our side in the nave - but he's been good about keeping himself out of direct communication), and the Singing Nun. Anyway, ask Mister Gerold and he'll give you the link to that board.

i will definitely go with you as soon as i have a look at this book. this book may give us the information we need once we get into that creeps sanctuary. i would go now but I really think this book is going to help us. put off johnson's eidolon by complimenting him. he's so easy to stroke, it's sick. see if he'll extend your stay and you should tell him i will return with you if you can get more time. his trinity didn't get me last time, so i'm sure he'd rather have you deliver my soul.

gerold sent me the link for the board. i will check it out soon.

Sending Jean Moulin is a Good Idea

konamouse wrote:
I have sent an update & request for more time to the jackass. I hope my adoration and fawning will work.

Another thought would be to have Jean Moulin come over as well - and in the same manner as you in order to help facilitate our attack on the inside. A couple of us are ready to attain the level of Leo which will grant access into the sanctuary and bring us very close to this false pater. I know we have to show Mithras that we are true in heart & spirit, and that MrAJ is just using the power for his own evil purpose.

If we are able to all get back inside together, do you think we can set up a communication forum between us with Jean Moulin & you spearheading the mission? Maybe we can use the same type of forum that Mildred opened for the group under Nedd's bed (I cannot go in there, for that would put her in danger from the Trinity).

I hope you find that document soon. If there is anything else you think I can do from my position, please let me know. And no matter what you see from me online, We Are Sammeeeees.

jean moulin is a really good idea. you should speak with him and the other white roses about it. i know dick white was afraid of any of them going over, but jean might be perfect for the mission. if jean goes over before me, i'm sure he could set up communication for the dark sider sammeeeees.

as soon as i have my hands on the document, i will contact you. thanks so much, kona.

And I have mentioned it to Jean Moulin. I think he agrees. Which Darksiders have Jean Moulin as their target? You guys need to establish contact and scratch at his window.

Yes, it is Bravil's, Randomeis' and mine task to get Jean Moulin to the dark side. I'll try to make contact with him and post my mail as soon as I got an answer (when I will get an answer Wink ).

Have a look at the emails here...
