I also have a feeling that the answer could possibly be more symbolic than an actual name. (say, Death, for example)

See, Esteed, I thought the same thing you did when I read 'free will;' first thought was Eve. But if you want to be Judeo-Christian about it, God is her king...

And then I cracked it, got another site. How do I do spoilers? As my post count indicates, I am new at this.

When you make a post, there's a button for it. Just click it once to start the tag, and then when you're finished with the spoilery info, click it again.

Alternately, you can type it out.

[ spoiler][/spoiler ]

Without the spaces, obviously.

Ok, thanks.

With no further ado...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The She is Pandora. She was given the box with all of the plagues of mankind, including Death. So the person that gave her the box is the He: Zeus. This didn't work though. So I typed in the Roman name, which does play right into the Space Theme.

Answer: Jupiter.

No idea what the new site is though. Idea:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think we have to help look for Karen. And the e-mail is the Dave that they mention in the forums.

Srsly, that was some good work there, my friend.

I'm glad the people on the forums are confused, because after reading that stuff, so am I.

lol You and me, both. I'm honestly happy it went anywhere. That monkey site was a decent cover.

Thanks guys.

What I think I've gathered:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. Karen is missing. Der. It's everywhere.
2. We don't have a voice mail that other people are hearing. There's also flyers up and people are getting mailings. We should find out what these are.
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3f1CBdxiIE
This is David. It says he's going to call Karen. Is he the husband Karen references in her profile?

So I'm going to e-mail him, let him know that people are interested and want to know what's going on, and that people are worried about Karen.

I'm sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine (I should point out that LJ entries can easily be backdated). It takes all of 5 minutes to create a shell LJ account for the purpose of planting a trail head. Plan ahead, don't leave me scratching my head, trying to guess what's in and out of game. *sinks back into idleness*

David's bookshelf is awesome.

The bookshelf is pretty cool. I wonder if it's a custom job or if he bought it somewhere?

As to the phone number thing, unless it's given out in a way that makes it obvious that it should be called, I assume it's OOG. If the PM(s?) want a number they've left on a page in a more subtle manner called, they'll bring light to it somehow. Either way, no need to get too upset over it.

Gah, the e-mail's a dead end, for now.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hey guys,

I'm currently out of office, but I'll reply to your email on my return.

Adios!

Stupid David.

I'm looking at some of his old blogs for a hint or something.

Did anyone try the string of numbers in the flash on the home page as a phone number?

Can't afford any long distance calls, unfortunately. So somebody else will have to give those numbers a try.

As far as I can tell, David either is employed as a photographer, or is into photography as a hobby. A lot of the stuff on the boards involves photography. David's blog implies he found something he wasn't supposed to, and with the prominence of nightclubs in the forums, I would suggest that perhaps David saw something shady at a nightclub (which doesn't narrow it down by much, haha!) and is now in fear of this coming back to haunt him?

He says he saw it at work in the blog, I thought? His earlier blogs are pretty mundane, he mentions Karen (I think. Hell of an accent) in "A Question", saying he's going to a Manilow concert with her. Still slogging through...

*Edit* the Manilow reference is in "Questions"
