[Interaction] Meeting the cards!
It begins 10/17!

I am meeting the Two of Clubs today.

In like... Three hours.

Any questions you have, post them here. You have TWO HOURS to post them. (until 4:30 PDT)

I was also given a whole slew of rules to follow, which I will post here.

No cameras. No videos. No hidden people with cameras. No wolves in sheep's clothing. Monkeys are okay.

Please be there when I arrive. Avoid topics you know to avoid.

When it's time for me to go, please wait in the store three minutes before leaving. Don't follow me.

Deal?

Much Respect,
2C (Jonah)


As most of you know, I AM THRILLED TO DEATH.

OMFG!
cool.

OOOOOOOOOh. no pictures? Sad

But yeah, ask him if he would want to come meet again. Ask if he knows of any other cards in AZ, not which ones but just if they exist. And if there are any in Southern California cos I want to meet one!

How will you know that it's him? will he be dressed as the two of clubs?



Laughing


No wait. Ask him if he is still sad. If he is alright. And (sorry its so random, I'm too excited) What's his secret to stay healthy.

Oh hell, I can't think right now. TOo excited.

I know the person "flipping the switch" to open the Rabbit Hole on 11/11 is here in Arizona, but it's not 2C himself.

There's 45 cards we haven't met yet, so it's likely there'll be one in Cali.

The question is... will they be willing to meet you?

I'm sure I'll know it's him immediately, and besides -- my myspace picture IS me. I'm sure he can find me.

Okay.

He's silenced, as you're all aware by now.

I was standing in our agreed meeting spot. A man matching the description he'd given to us walked (very quickly) past me; we made eye contact. I thought to myself 'nah, couldn't be him. He would've said something.' He turns around, and walks back up to me.

"Are you Erin?"

I nodded, and said yes.

He shoved a Starbucks gift card into my hand. "I am silenced. This is for you. It has $20 on it."

I barely managed to choke out a "thank you" before he started speed-walking for the door. I said "Wait!" He turned quickly, and I shoved two papers into his hands. "These are for you." He nodded, and walked very quickly out the front door of the meeting place.

I very, very nearly followed him but then I remembered the rules, and instead walked two complete laps around the place, effectively burning my three minutes. I went out, got on the bus, and came back home.

As I was about half a block from my house, my phone rang - unknown number. I answer it, and it's 2C. He apologized profusely, saying he was only that rushed because he wasn't supposed to be there, not because he was being rude. He asked me not to take it personally, and said that we would meet (I'm assuming all the Arizona people - myself, Scare, Waitress, and possibly that one other AZ person I've never really talked to) and sit down and actually talk after the rabbit hole opens, and he would answer our questions. He said he'd be back then (after the rabbit hole) and I said "I'll be waiting -- we'll be waiting." He said, "I hope so... I feel like I've really alienated a lot of you."

He sounded thoroughly depressed, and looked rather upset when I met him.

As much as I hate to double-post in my own thread... This is huge news.

I got into work this morning and put my sidekick in my desk drawer, like I usually do. I usually hear it vibrate if I get a text message or email, so this works well. I guess while I was up doing work things (scanning papers, faxing, whatever) I received not one, but two emails. The most recent was from the Two of Hearts... And ten minutes before that, I had received one from the ACE OF HEARTS. I nearly had a heart attack! Of course, to try to calm myself ("maybe it's a gamejack," I thought) I decided to open 2H's email first.
Two of Hearts wrote:
you may want to have a look at your email. there are rumblings within the deck that someone rather important is trying to get a hold of you.

paix et amour,
2h (jane)

Okay, probably NOT a gamejack. I open the email from the Ace...
Ace of Hearts wrote:
You are the one they call Analog Watch, are you not?

Okay... What would YOU have said? I confirmed said suspicions. I kick myself now for not asking for a key immediately, but it matters not now, as a working and legitimate key was provided to me a few emails later.
Ace of Hearts wrote:
We have been made aware of you, through many avenues.

Many cards have spoken highly of you.

Your friends and fellow Passengers apparently love you and care for you.

I'm going to continue this slowly and this conversation shall progress during the day.

Let's start on a simple and plain (yet genuine) note:

How are you today?

I'm well, thank you. Something about Phoenix being always sunny. Yourself?
Ace of Hearts wrote:
I am well. We are well.

How is work?

Work is work. Smile how is your work, either your day job, or your job as an ace?
Ace of Hearts wrote:
My job is going well.

Apparently I have some damage to repair, but I am good at it.

If I were to show you a key to prove my authority, would you get in trouble for viewing it at work?

If not, here you go:

http://silverladder.com/aceofheartskey101807.htm

Btw, that does not work anymore. Don't bother clicking it. It was an image of the ace of hearts, with "Ace of Hearts - Authentic 10/17/07" underneath it. Classic deck key.
Ace of Hearts wrote:
Will you get in trouble at work for conversing with me via email?

I now have another question for you:

Do you understand why the Two of Clubs was not able to sit down and speak with you? What are your feelings on that?

On this one, I'll copypasta my answer directly, as it was extremely relevant.
analogwatch wrote:
Thank you for the key.

It's always good to be good at your job. Pride in one's work is always fulfilling.

No, I shouldn't get in trouble... As long as I get my work done, which I definitely will. I'll be fine. Smile

I understand why completely - there is a time for everything, and that was not the time. Not anywhere close, if I'm to be understanding what other cards are telling me.

My feelings? I miss him already, but like I said, I understand. All I can (and really, at this point, need) to do is bide my time like everyone else and patiently wait for the rabbit hole. Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? We'll all be thrilled when he can come back and talk with us again.

Ace of Hearts wrote:
Do you realize that you passed a test just now?

Do you realize that you passed a test yesterday?

Do you realize that the Two of Clubs passed one as well?

He's being told this very moment. He didn't know.

Wait, what? Erin is confused.
Ace of Hearts wrote:
Just now, you didn't show bitterness toward us for having silenced the Two of Clubs.

While you admit that you will miss him, you did not show anger over the decision.

Yesterday, you did not bring a camera or attempt to take any pictures.

Here's the kicker:

Yesterday, when the Two of Clubs left, he timed you. We told him to. You followed his instructions. Actually, you followed our instructions.

We can trust you. That's what this is was about.

This was not about making you miserable. Far from it.

You've proved yourself, and the Two of Clubs did as well. He followed our instructions, as hard as it was on him. It really upset him.

If we were able to arrange another meeting, where he would be able to sit and speak with you (tonight), would that interest you?

Would you be able to attend? If so, what time would not inconvenience you?

It would be at the same location.

We would need to speak with him first to set guidelines. This needs to be done on our terms, but you have earned it. That much is certain.

Afterward, he would return to being silenced until the rabbit hole opens. It is necessary.

So I am meeting him again tonight. You have FOUR AND A HALF HOURS to give me questions, comments, well-wishes, whatever. Post them in this thread OR BETTER YET email them to my sidekick directly. Email's in the signature. Tmail.

In other news, the reason he gave me a STARBUCKS gift card was to throw off the Korp. He thinks they're following him as he visits Phoenix.

I swear to God, if the Korp crashes this tonight, I will die. Abso-freaking-lutely DIE.

I think it's safe to say I FAILED that test, because I was mad with Jonah at first.
...Ugh.

Anyway, have fun, love. I'll email you with a few things I'd like to ask you to tell him.
