[WEBSITE] Mr. Gerold's MySpace & [EMAIL]

Following the instructions from Betty's email, I sent her a comment that said "we cannot fail." This morning I logged onto MySpace to find the following friend request for Mr. Gerold ...

Quote:

http://www.myspace.com/208405421

I have dropped Mr. Gerold a "feeling out" email to see exactly who he is, and if he can possibly be trusted as a point of contact. If I disappear off the face of the earth ... he's probably not safe Wink

Using the same letter substitution as Methos used, the message is "hang the garden man", which leads to http://hangthegardenman.blogspot.com/

Oooo!

The garden man being Peeps most likely. Is this how he deals with souls in the in-between? Addison was also lost in this way and found hanging.

Text from the hangthegardenman blog:

Quote:

I met with the boy last night. He was guarded and sweet when we began our conversation. We spoke about last December. I wanted to know if the boy could or would tell me about how this began. He would not. The clock struck midnight and the boy shifted his eyes from me. He would not look my way. The clock struck one and the boy screeched for his mother with, "PATRICIA!!!". The clock struck two and the boy began to laugh. It was not the boy's laugh. It was the laugh of a man. The clock struck three and the boy groaned at me in the voice of a man, "HANG THE GARDEN MAN!!! HANG THE GARDEN MAN!!! HANG THE GARDEN MAN!!!" Then the boy slumped over and fell into a deep sleep.

I will speak with the boy again. If you are communicating with this boy, please use caution. You may be safe if the Eidolon is not present, but at this point I do not know how and when this is occurring. Patricia thinks the Eidolon's presence is getting stronger with each soul it acquires. This makes sense to me. The coming and going is something I want to understand.

ETA: So it sounds like we need to figure out when Dwin is Dwin and when he is Eidolon...communication may be safe when he's Dwin. Perhaps one of the UNB Crew can ask Mildred about this?

Mister Gerold is one active bugger today, isn't he? Checking my MySpace, I do see that he wrote me back to my email from this morning.

My message ...

Quote:

we cannot fail

I don't think that I could have been put any better, my new found friend. My name is Insane, and I thank you for getting in touch with me today. Needless to say, a very dangerous path has been laid forth for us Sammeeeees and we can use all the help you could possibly provide.

Betty has placed a great deal of trust in you, and thus I will do the same. If you could answer a few questions, it would mean so much to us as we continue on our journey.

First and foremost, I guess it is important to know who you are. How did you come to know of The Sammeeeees .. of this Eidolon .. and of this Trinity that is haunting so many of our Sammeeeee brethren?

I have many more questions, as you can imagine, but I feel it's best and safest to start with introductions .. don't you?

Insane
- "will not fail"

And his lengthy and interesting response about Eidolon ...

Quote:

Dear Mister Insane,

My name is Mister Gerold. Some call me "Professor" but I prefer Mister Gerold. I was introduced to this Eidolon last January when I received a phone call from your friend, Betty. Betty found me while investigating "Eidolons" at the Beverly Hills library. I have an old friend that has worked at this library for many, many years. Betty's passion for more information on this subject was immediately apparent. We spoke by phone and by email. I tried to help as best I could, but this is not an Eidolon that easily is led away.

Should I tell you more about my background? I suppose it might be of interest to you. Years ago, while working at the Beverly Hills Library, I was living in the guest cottage to the home of a man named Bader. Bader had acquired his wealth with real estate and parking lots. He was also my introduction to this world of Eidolons. The Eidolon of Mister Bader had re-entered our world by an unusual portal that was located in the garden of his family home. He soon appeared to the mourning Bader family. I never saw this Eidolon. I could not. Those without a relationship to the disturbed soul's mortal being are not able to experience a "visit". The family was not comforted by these visits. As a friend, I began to investigate the history of these Eidolons and found many ways to guide them back to their portal and to the world where they came from. Mister Bader was not a difficult case. As soon as we located the unusual portal, he went quite willingly. A simple Eidolon and a simple solution.

This is not the case with the Eidolon we face. The Eidolon before you and your friends seeks life. He will do anything to satisfy this desire. This Eidolon has complicated my task. He is collecting souls and using mortal vessels as a way to access more souls. He is also using his relationship with Mithras to his own advantage.

I'm sure you and your friends have many questions about this case. I will do my best to answer every question. Why don't you collect your questions? After I receive these questions, I will put together some sort of broadcast that will explain as much as I can.

Mister Gerold

Mister Insane. I like the sound of that. In the meantime, if ya'll want to compile some questions for Mr. Gerold, I would be happy to pass them along ...

Just to be clear about the solve:

Each name on the list has a corresponding card from the Flickr puzzle, and using the following key (from that thread) we decoded the answers:

3=D map
4=E dash or jenna
5=F
6=G drizjr
7=H naughty butterfly

Mister Gerold

Yesterday Lacey created a poster of Looking for Mr Gerold that I posted on Peeps comments (figuring that Mr Gerold might be checking Peeps' MySpace).
This morning there was something in my inbox.
I think it was his email.
I tried it tonight.
It worked.

konamouse wrote:

I am on the other side but working to find the portal and close it
against the Eidolon of Mr Alan Johnson. Can you help?

This particular other side is not my expertise. I don't know about this dark temple that Eidolon has created for himself. I can only tell you what I know about the entity and how it operates on this side. If you have any questions about that, please let me know.

Best of luck to you.

Mister Gerold

Obviously I did not just give you his email (cause that would imply communication between Darksiders and UNBC). But I'll bet that if you ask for it, he'll give it to you. I'll also show him the blogpage, just in case.

Maybe you shouldn't talk to him Kona? He doesn't have a direct connection to the eidolon....yet... but if those who are connected talk to him he could be in danger.

[EMAIL] 7/3 - Safe Contact

Except we were told that since he doesn't have any connection to Mr Alan Johnson, the eidolon can't take him.

And he contacted me first, by sending me his email addy in my MySpace email. Knowing I was already in the nave.

Edit to add the email exchange:

konamouse wrote:

Being stuck on the darkside, we have no idea what is happening outside
of the nave. Except for the bragging of the Eidolon about gathering
souls (he wants 30 of them). I suppose that we are going to have to
get very close to him in order to be privy to his secrets.

We know that some of our good friends were taken a while ago, but then
found out they went willingly in order to do what we are also
attempting to do. One seems to have lost his mortal life, one is in a
coma, and one has been spotted acting insane, laughing hysterically,
and may have led The Trinity & the Eidolon straight to Peeps. We're
not sure if any of them are still with us or fully under the Eidolon's
control.

Do you know who are The Trinity? We heard the terms Trio, Troika and
Triunity used. And we suspect they might be previous victims of Mr
Alan Johnson (he was an evil megalomanic and sociopath who liked to
play with knives. It seems he uses them to gather his souls (as we
got reports they appeared in the middle of the night to those who were
taken from us). Each of us were visited in the middle of the night by
howling of dogs and scratching at the window just prior to entering
the raven cells of the false temple of this Eidolon.

Any information you can share would be appreciated. I have the means
to communicate it with the rest of those on the Darkside. Do you want
them to have your email?

Can you please let our friends on the side of the light know we are
mostly okay. Perhaps they can leave us indirect messages if they
remember WeAreSammeeeees.

We're really worried about Patricia & Dwin. He was acting strange and
Patricia was purposefully ignoring us all spring. Today one of us got
a very strange message from Eidolon. He said if we bring him Happy
Rogers, it would make him very pleased with our sacrifice and proof of
our devotion. What does the Eidolon want specifically with Happy? He
already has her son, Ben (but we haven't seen him in the nave nor
heard from him). We're heading into very unknown territory and not
sure if we're doing the right thing.

Thank you.

It seems to me that since you have given yourself over to this Eidolon, it is best to play along with his requests and ultimately find the sanctuary. I would caution you about delivering any souls to advance. We have no evidence that you and anyone that you may "sacrifice" will find your way out of there without his permission. Patricia Moore spent a good part of this year trying to strike a deal with this Eidolon. I don't think she is the sort of woman who would ignore you. More than likely, she didn't want to bring this threat to your door. At one point, she thought she had traded herself for Kevin (Dwin), but this Eidolon would not give up the boy. She didn't know he had other plans for the boy. Patricia, unlike the others, has been granted a release. She is no longer in the temple. I think the Eidolon is providing for his own future, when he has fully taken over this boy's mortal vessel. I will ask your friends on the outside to contact her. She could be a great source of information for those of you on the outside and the inside.

Your other friends that were taken do seem to be struggling. This course of action must be taxing on the psyche and soul. A fragile mind would be at risk. This could explain the state of your fellow Sammeeeees. I will be interested to learn about the details of Dick White's death. Patricia told me he was very old and fragile as well.

I do not have any mortal knowledge of this Trinity. I do know this Eidolon has complete control of the three. To have this sort of control on the dark side, I would assume he controlled them completely (prior to their deaths) on this side as well as having been the one responsible for their death. The poor souls have never been free of him. As evil as they are, they too are victims.

I will pass along your message to the Sammeeeees out here. You and I seem to have found a good line of communication, and it is of no consequence to me to have this contact, so you can feel free to continue to visit me. I will be fascinated to learn what you see and experience as you move further into this dark temple. Best of luck to you. We cannot fail.

[EMAIL] 7/6 Mr Gerold answers LOTS of questions

konamouse wrote:

As far as I am concerned, you are the expert on this Eidolon amongst
us. And since you are safe for contact, I am writing to you. The
Darksiders need guidance. All Dick White told us was to get inside
the sanctuary. He said we would be able to find the portal and shut
it down with the Eidolon and the Trinity inside. But we don't know
what we are looking for...

Did any of the other Sammeeeees show you this:
http://gabcast.com/index.php?a=episodes&id=11231
This is Dick White. He was the first White Rose (ex Spoocheeeee
jackal who led the resistance that helped us last year keep Mr Alan
Johnson from taking Peeps back into Spoocheeeee, gather the disc
pieces and then destroy the Spoocheeeee power, allowing Patricia to
kill Mr Alan Johnson). If you are not up on the history, you can read
Happy's LJ account here: http://happyrogers.livejournal.com/714.html

Last month he gave us our new mission; some of us were to get into the
Eidolon's false temple to find his portal and close it (from the
inside, I guess). And he warned us about the sacrifice. I don't
think Happy knows yet. However, I think she is strong enough now to
hear that Ben is amongst us by his own volition. Unfortunately, we
haven't been able to contact him yet, but I'm going to keep trying.
Please tell her that.

Those of us on the Darkside cannot directly contact any one on the
side of light - but we need to know if we are on the right path, and
we need to know what is happening on the outside. Afterall, we're
suppose to be doing the same thing. We're not the enemy, we're just
too dangerous to contact directly, but we need a manner to still work
together, right? And we need to let our outside breathren know we are
not really worshiping the false Pater, despite what they may see and
hear about. He seems quite taken with many of us. It's not too hard
to stroke his ego.

If we're not progressing inside, maybe getting into the sanctuary
isn't the right way to defeat the Eidolon, and those of us inside need
to break away and get back out. Or maybe we can trick the Eidolon into
giving us the power to move back and forth (like Patricia did for so
long) without opening the portal.

We seek yours and Betty's advice on this matter. Maybe everyone's
opinion about how we shall continue to proceed. If my reply is
delayed, it is because the false pater has given us our next task
towards ascending closer into the sanctuary - this one may delay
correspondence. But please tell our friends who stayed behind with
Nedd to not believe everything you might see & hear about us. We Are
Sammeeeees, always.

Thank you

Your friends on the outside, did you tell them your plan when you chose to go over to the dark side? If so, I wouldn't worry about them wondering about motives. It seems to me you Sammeeeees are always motivated for the side of truth and light.

I am working nearly round the clock to understand this Eidolon. He seems to play games with people's lives. I suppose it gives him some sort of sick pleasure. My question, as I move closer to this Eidolon, is why - ? I know he said he is seeking revenge. Patricia and I discovered there were other motives. He wants to be granted life once again through the boy. Again, why? Why back to life? He seems to have revenge, or near to it, concerning the Sammeeeees. Why is he coming back to our world?

You should set up a way of communicating with your friends. I know Patricia said she was not dangerous to anyone she was not assigned to retrieve. You should create a signal that tells your fellow Sammeeeees that they are "clear" to have contact with you. This will free you to have the knowledge you need.

I had heard the message from Dick White. I know, from Patricia, that others in the Temple are seeking the portal as well. Someone named Higgs. She has not heard from Higgs for quite some time. Yes, it has been said that the portal is in the Sanctuary. If you can reach it, I would try. Until we know more, it is all that we can point to as an answer. Finding out what this portal actually is and how to close it is one of the mysteries before us. I doubt this Eidolon would allow any of you near to this secret without going through these initiations to prove yourselves. Going back and forth between the outside and the temple does not prevent you from searching for the portal. You can still return and search. Is that right? Maybe it's best to have access to both worlds in order to stop this Eidolon. If you have moved up in the grades of the temple, it sounds to me like you are advancing. Do you know what level gains entrance to the Sanctuary? I thought Patricia said it was Miles. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If I were you, I would continue on the path in front of you. Be cautious with your choices, but know that we may all face difficult decisions as we move closer to this dark and dangerous soul's side. That is simply the game we play with this Eidolon.

We cannot fail.

I put a "we cannot fail" in Betty's MySpace page (as part of my re-establishing contact back on the light side).

Mister Gerold wrote:

Subject: We cannot fail!!!
Our mutual friend, Betty, has sent me your way. I hope all is well with you. Did you ever receive my last email, Miss Konamouse? I remember you had many questions. How are things for you and your friends on the dark side?

I am still in Lubec, Maine. Peeps is sedated, but still very disturbed in the late hours of the night. I am worried about him. Have you and your friends found anything to calm the souls this Eidolon has taken? I would appreciate any information you could share that might help Peeps.

Mister Gerold

Yes, got the other email (see above). But in response to his questions I'm going to ask Higgs. I haven't done any direct contact since I went into the Nave, but I suppose I can....might as well try. Maybe he has some answers (since he is suppose to be further along inside the temple than we are). I cannot access MySpace from work but will check later tonight if there is a response.

Mister Gerold

I just sent Mr. Gerold an email telling him that Sunlight, real and artificial, seems to have a calming affect on the people who's souls have been taken.

I sent this:

Quote:

Dear Mister Gerold,

I know you are looking after our dear Peeps. It was mentioned that you were asking for anything that might help calm poor Peeps. We have found that sunlight (even artificial sunlight) has a calming affect on those who have been lost in the inbetween. Peeps also loves Cyndi Lauper's music. You never know, his soul might be able to hear it.

I hope this helps. Please keep the sammeeeees informed of our dear Peeps condition.
Thank you,
Dashcat

He replied:

Quote:

I hope the sunlight will help Peeps. There is some sunshine today. This ties in with Mithras, doesn't it? Very interesting. Although Lubec is not known for it's sunny weather, we may be in luck since it is summer. I will also play the Cyndi Lauper music. What a wonderful idea. I know music helps me when I am feeling blue. I promise to keep you up to date with Peeps condition.

We cannot fail.

Chixor & I were discussing this last night. We have always wondered
about Dwin's true parentage. He was brought to Patricia by
Spoocheeeee. Perhaps only Dr Kinder knows for sure (but she is dead
and now part of the Trinity). What if Mr AJ (which is what I call Mr
Alan Johnson) is Dwin's biological father?

> You should set up a way of communicating with your friends.

wearesammeeeees.blogspot.com is available. Will that work? If not, do
you know of another means? I can post our passing back to the light
there. And that they are safe from us (even if the Eidolon knows
about it, it matches his mission orders anyway). Then each of us tell
you who we are each targetting so you can warn those UNBC folks which
of us to avoid. For example, I have been sent back to bring Mildred's
soul to the Eidolon, so I have to avoid any direct contact with her,
but others are safe from me. Please let her know to avoid me, but that
others are safe from me. The others who are passing back and forth
have been given different targets and would have to let you know
individually who they are.

I think we have to be at Leo to be inside the Sanctuary.

> We cannot fail.

To answer your question about Peeps (from the MySpace message). Try
visiting http://andails.blogspot.com/ You can leave comments for the
author if you have questions about any spells or need more specific
help. I have been assured the owner checks it every day.

What an interesting hypothesis about Kevin (Dwin) being Mr. Alan Johnson's own blood... I would like to discuss this with Patricia. Do you mind? I will wait for your answer before I speak with her.

Your place for communication sounds safe to me. You may also use me in any way that will help make this journey easier. I will tell Mildred about you today. Happy Rogers contacted me on MySpace and told me about the board. I will sign up immediately and use it for communicating with the group.

Thank you for the information for Peeps (Thomas). Someone named Dashcat also sent me some information. You are a very helpful group. So refreshing these days.

We cannot fail.
