 		 My Conversation With Wadsworth
Some new, interestinginformation...
Quote:
Anexea: Hello Wadsworth, I trust everything is fine on Mr. Boddy and yours end?


Butler Wadsworth: Oh, what a night.
Sent at 6:25 PM on Saturday


Butler: Good evening.


Anexea: Good evening


Butler: Yes, all is well with both myself as well as my employer.
I am pleased you messaged me, actually.
Can you possibly do me a favour?


Anexea: Wonderful.
Of course.


Butler: I, as well as Mr. Boddy, am aware that everyone is anxois to find out more of what is to come.
anxious, please excuse my keyboard. It is not the best.
My employer has become a bit concerned as to what the guests expectations might be.
I would like to be sure that it is known that this party will thrive on interaction, not visual stimulation as many parties tend to.


Anexea: Okay.


Butler: This is the first of many, it is hoped.


Anexea: Okay, thank you. I
I'll* let them know.


Butler: If you would do that, I would be most gracious. Entertainment and enjoyment are to come, but you will all know more when your backgrounds and 'roles' are released. They will come out on a rolling basis beginning tomorrow.


Anexea: Wonderful.


Butler: The last will be received by Wednesday evening.


Anexea: Okay.


Butler: I hope you enjoy your weekend, good evening.
bow
That was supposed to be an action.
These chat programs strike me as a bit odd sometimes.


Anexea: Hehe, I understand.


Butler: Oh, I almost forgot!


Anexea: Yes?


Butler: There is a guest who lives near something he should bring to the party.
It has been left for him.
He must, of course, find it.


Anexea: Alright.


Butler: More on that will come by Monday, so he will have time to retrieve it.
And with that I must be off. I hear the bell ringing downstairs.


Anexea: Good bye and good evening.


Butler: You as well.

 		I'm in - since I'm not big into mixing my role-playing and my ARG-playing, I'm an "alternate reality game designer."

 		Wadsworth
Chat
Quote:
me: Hello Wadsworth. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank your employer for allowing a lowly street artist, like myself, the chance to network with the social elite at his dinner engagement.

mybutlerwadsworth: Good evening, Sir.
It is nothing to him.
Bringing people together is what he thrives on.
He has been anticipating this party for some time. It seems he has left something for a guest to bring with them.

me: Really? How exciting. Do you know which guest it is?

mybutlerwadsworth: I am not privy to this information just yet. Mr. Boddy tends to be a bit secretive.
I am but a humble servant, you see.

me: Well, suspense is good! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, yourself included.

mybutlerwadsworth: Ah yes. It should be a lovely event. I just hope it turns out better than the last is all.

me: The last? I'm sorry if a previous event didn't go so well. I haven't heard about any earlier dinner events by Mr. Boddy.
Sent at 8:07 PM on Saturday

mybutlerwadsworth: Oh but surely Mr. Boddy's name precedes him. His engagements have quite the rumours surrounding them. People seem to, shall we say, arrive in one manner yet leave in another.
It is all quite remarkable really.
Then sweep sweep, mop mop, it is all taken care of in time for the next event.
Sent at 8:09 PM on Saturday

me: I see. I have heard a few rumors surrounding Mr. Boddy's events, but I assumed they were just rumors.

mybutlerwadsworth: Oh but of course they are just rumours. Mr. Boddy is a gracious host.

me: I understand we will be receiving information regarding the get together in the next couple of days?

mybutlerwadsworth: Yes. The background information will begin being distributed tomorrow, as soon as all questionnaires have been returned.
They will be handed out on a rolling basis, with the final one being received some time wednesday evening.
I have just received word of where the item has been left.

me: Oh, please do tell.

mybutlerwadsworth: The only hint I am allowed to give out, as instructed by my employer, is tires.
I am not exactly sure what that means.

me: hmmm..... Well, this should be fun!

mybutlerwadsworth: In fact it seems rather odd.
I am sure he has this all figured out, however, so it must mean something important.
Sent at 8:15 PM on Saturday

me: Well, I have to go. Please thank Mr. Boddy for me, and I thank you Wadsworth.

mybutlerwadsworth: Good evening, Sir.




So, did anyone portray themselves as a tire tycoon??? Laughing

 		I just had a very similar conversation with Mr. Wadsworth.


Quote:
7 PM
Butler: My dear Ms. Belle.
8:18 PM
me: hello Mr Wadsworth

Butler: I have just become privy to some information you might find interesting.

me: oh do tell

Butler: My employer has told me to relay this word to get the guests on their way to finding what he has left.
8:19 PM
The word is tires.

me: Oh I see. I hear that he has left something for one of the male guests.

is this correct?
8:20 PM
Butler: Yes, all that I know at this moment is that a male guest has been left something, and the word tires. I am as in the dark as you are right now.

Mr. Boddy chooses when he wishes to share things, and this seems not to be one of those times.

I hope it is helpful, however.

I do live to serve.

me: I see. Well I will certainly pass along this information

You serve very well I'm sure.
8:21 PM
Butler: I do try, Miss.

me: Thank you Mr. Wadsworth. I am looking forward to meeting you in person.

Butler: And you as well, Ms. Belle. I must be off. Please have a pleasant rest of your evening.
8:22 PM
me: Thank you. Have a good night


So the person receiving the drop is male and tires have something to do with it.

 		Im male and could use a new tire, but unless Mr Boddy lives across the street from the Gas Station I use he couldnt possibly know that. (But if the Item is a new Radial in the right size....)

 		Tabby - Perhaps he isn't responding since it is you. He is supposed to be in the dark after all.

P.S. Miss Belle is crying because your character hasn't responded to her myspace friend request. She's had a hard time lately, and is rather sensitive.
