I have the goggles and tattoos.

After seeing Ariadne's twitter about Noriko coming to San Francisco with "something to give," I set up the meeting via email. I asked if I could invite others to join us and Noriko said she'd like that. As it turned out, the best part of the SF i love bees crew came along, which made me happy. Smile

I was going to keep all the swag for myself (I am greedy), but after careful consideration (i.e., don't be too greedy), I let Ranger D keep the postcard. I suppose I should give Ariock the tattoos or goggles. HMMMMMMM Shifty Eyes

Anyway, I updated your wiki page. Thanks for setting it up!

 		New video on Noriko's blog--Dreams of Disaster??
Just an FYI, Noriko posted some pics of her and Kai in SF. There is also a photo of her holding the goggles.

http://www.findthelostring.com/noriko/home.do

In her video, she says that she's arrived safely in SF. She realizes that we may be wondering why she left for California and mentions that she had some scary dreams and some other things. She plans to give us more details later; right now, Kai is taking care of her and she is fine.

The text under the video says those "scary dreams and other things" refers to the items that were sent to her friend Dr Miki as well as nightmares she's had of California under a major earthquake/natural disaster.

Hmm... so, perhaps the warning of "Stop now/If this happens in 2008 it will be your fault" is in reference to her GOING to California. Akira and the others went to California specifically because of its propensity for earthquakes, hoping to 'fix' the land movements but maybe ended up causing it (1906 earthquake)??

could who ever has the original postcard do a wax rubbing of it? (you know tracing paper over the original and a crayon rubbed on it's side?) that would reveal the carved marks.
I was thinking the same thing--Some of them look like regular scribble marks, but some are angled in such a way as to suggest they're not quite random. They look a little too simple to be Kanji...But maybe not? Can you see anything in them, unagi?


Sorry I've just now found this discussion (I don't know why I've overlooked). I looked into the largest-sized image of the postcard photo, but I can tell that carved marks looking white are not kanji (chinese characters).

(Unrelated aside: Do we have any idea for whom the postcard was originally written? There's no addressee.)

The Japanese style shows this was not written for a person who is older than the author. I think this is written for a Japanese-speaking friend who knows the old six, like Alfredo. But I cannot deny a possibility that this is written for himself like a diary.

By the way, this Japanese writing style appears fairly modern (I mean, the style was totally changed at the end of World War II in Japan), considering it was written in 1906 or so.

There are so many differences in the writing style between the old and modern Japanese, so the postcard's style is obviously modern. For example, the ninth character of the fourth line and the ninth character of the tenth line are both small, but this is very specific to the modern Japanese-writing style. In older days they were written in the same size as the others.

OK, so Japanese in Jorge's world used the modern writing style much earlier! Smile

 		Ariadne's posted in her forum that she's trying to understand what's happened with Noriko...Not sure if she's talking about N's recent blog post about her meeting with Kai, or about something that's happened more recently. Here are a couple of Tweets Noriko posted today, and a really, really rough translation. Can anyone fix it? The first mentions wanting to set up a labyrinth training in Japan. And in the second, she mentions Rivenor's (Ennjule's) attempt to find the NY artifact, but it's hard to tell what she's saying:

Quote:
ニューヨークのアーティファクト、Ennjuleさんがとりにいくらしい？！ちょっとエキサイティングですよね☆それにしても、18章の宣誓ってどういう事なんだろ？
ーデックス18章が見つかりましたね。すぐアップロードしますね☆　それより、日本でもラビリンストレーニングなるか？？？Humaさん、Unagiさん？＾＾ダイカイオシュネの方？？＾＿＾　東京とか？？日本のがんばりも世界の方に見せたいですね♪

 		I translated it now. I still wonder what Ariadne is talking about.

Is Ennjule(=Rivanor) going to pick up the artifact in New York? It's a little exciting, isn't it? By the way, what does the Oath mean in Ch.18?
