 		He Wants to Share His Secret

New post on Ariadne's blog (supposedly it's only up on the RSS feed, you may need to go to the general RSS page to see it)

Quote:
So much happened this weekend, I barely know where to start. I want to tell you everything. So I made a list of all the important stuff last night while I couldn't sleep. Here it is.

1. I made it safely to Cardiff. Customs and immigration didn't even blink at my new passport. (Thank you Kai!!) And I didn't feel one bit guilty. I have no idea who I am. So for all I know, I really could be "Ariadne Mascotte" from Montreal, Canada...

2. I found the society house, and guess what? Mr. Hunt wasn't a guest speaker. He has an office there. It turns out that he has an author's fellowship, and the society is sponsoring his book research.

3. So naturally, instead of listening to the lecture, I snuck into his office. Wouldn't you have?

4. I got caught. By Mr. Hunt. I'm no spy. But I also don't give up easily.

5. I made him look at my tattoo. I begged him for help. And you know what? He's not a bad guy. I could sense it. I could see it in his eyes. He WANTED to help. But something was holding him back.

6. I promised I would leave him alone forever if he would give me 10 minutes of his attention. He agreed, so I got him to sit down at his computer. I showed him your emails, I showed him our blogs, I told him everything we know so far about who woke up where, and when.

Here's the amazing thing. Once he saw all the evidence, there was no turning back for him. I guess that's what it really means to be an investigator at heart. It obviously triggered something in his brain, like a spark... everything I showed him was a clue, and he couldn't ignore it.

But obviously he was torn. He said he needed to sleep on it, and that I should come back the next day.

7. So I did. I crashed a hostel, and I came back. But he wasn't there.

I know, you could have predicted that.

But he didn't stand me up completely. He left a note for me.

I'll let you read it for yourself. When you do, I think you'll know exactly what to do.

Just remember. PLEASE. I can't do this alone.

I need your help.

"Dear Ariadne,

This will sound very strange. But I think I have been waiting my entire life to meet you.

I have spent decades preparing for this moment. But before we go forward, I need to be sure.

I thought I met someone like you years ago. I though the moment has arrived. But I was wrong. And I believe that my mistake caused a great deal of suffering, countless tragedies that I can never undo.

If I'm wrong again, if you and your friends aren't the six I have been waiting for, then we may once again unleash a torrent of terrifying consequences.

That is something my conscience simply cannot bear.

If we are to join forces, then I must know for sure that you are the six, and I must know for sure that we have the resources we need. Even if you are the six, I fear that six is not enough.

It will take legions to trovu la ringon perditan. And we will need help from virtually every populated square of the earth.

Ariadne, I know you have many people who want to help you. I am willing to take the risk of sharing with you, and with them, the secret I have been keeping.

If the time has come, then you and your friends perhaps can help me peek inside a box that I have kept closed for years -- for fear of what it might contain.

I will prepare for you a podcast that explains everything. But I won't post it in my series. I will send you, and any friends who pledge that they are willing to keep the secret, a link to the podcast as soon as it is ready.

Until we know for sure, it is best that we not meet again face to face.

I don't want to let my emotions cloud my judgment.

Sincerely yours,

Eli Hunt"

 		I think the sheer level of epic I am reading from that is about to overwhelm me. I am SO in.

 		I'm going to send Eli an e-mail, telling him that I'm willing to help Adriane. If a bunch of people do it maybe he'll feel less hesitant about sharing.

I'm still META amazed at the global reach for this - I'm very excited to see all the international members!

 		Speaking of global reach and international members, both Ariadne and Eli Hunt have now received at least one email from New Zealand.

I only came across the ARG phenomenon about a month ago, and have been reading all about past games - really excited to finally take part in one. Very Happy

 		I emailed Eli Hunt too about the link for the podcast.

I didn't want to email him about this before we see podcast, but I think he should be shown the photo of Renata's necklace. I have a hunch he might recognize it.

I've advised her to open a twitter.com account. So we could follow her and know everything happening to her.

I hope, she'll hear my advice Smile


Did she? I am twitter illiterate, so I'm wondering if https://twitter.com/ariadnelost just shows how illtwitterate I am.

Wow, that's interesting

1) that documents are in Esperanto
2) Ariadne seems to recall, she used to know what is it about before Amnesia
3) We'll wait for her new blog posts with that scans
4) there are some symbolic pictures, I suppose, they could be attributes of various Greek Gods.

 		It's on the blog...No scans yet.

I may be way off, since the video's so bad, but from what I can see, the pictures are of a dog?? and some sort of white bird?? (bottom), some sort of fern or fig leaf and a sun (top) and an owl (right middle). No idea what the middle left picture is.

Did some searching and on the Spec they may be associated with the Olympian gods:
Ares' symbol is an owl.
Apollo is associated with the sun.
Hades is associated with a 3-headed dog.

In regards to #4, I saw an owl and a leaf. The owl belongs to Athena, and the leaf to Demeter. There was also a sun. That one is hard because it could belong to either Apollo or Helios. It seems like we are dealing mainly with the upper echelon of the Greek pantheon, so I'd go with Apollo.

Gives some of the animals associated with each god/goddess, but is incomplete.

I did also see a dove and a lion. Dove goes with Aphrodite, but I'm unsure about the lion.

 		She calls is a "Weird Globe Computer Thing." Yeah, that's how I feel about it too.

To me, the images look like (left side) leaf , monkey, lion, (right side) sun, owl, humming bird.
I'm least sure about the monkey. I think the leaf is a laurel or olive branch.
Do the six pictures correspond to wisdom, courage, charm, leadership, temperance and storytelling?
