 		[PUZZLE?] Metasization image text
the images have new text, the killer.jpg's have the email that we all got from the sp, but the other images have something new:

"All the notes you sent!"

 		Danapicnic.jpg has this in it's text:

"Dana is a friend."

Danadress.jpg has this:

"Have to keep an eye on her," The comma may or may not be in that part there. I'm not quite sure.

Farnsworth-window.jpg has this:

"woke up alone and frightened"

Smoker.jpg has:

"Why do I tease her?"
"The poor queen. Not much to do"

That's pretty much all that I can find right now.

Fair enough.

One is BEE_LOGO: "One: Widow's thin legs / Like needles, click down the hall. / The flea goes quite still."
Two is BUT_HOME: "Two: The Pious Flea / Flick he leaps, into a crack / She does not go by."
Three is BUTABOUT: "Three: She spies the flea / Her legs come up, her jaws they / snap. He's in trouble."
Four is BUTHONEY: "Four: She bites and pop! / It seems there's no more flea: but / There he is again!"
Five is BUT_FUN: "Five: He skips the hall / Jumping for the great throne room / She comes on behind."
Six is BUTTHEHI: "Six: She cuts him off / at the conservatory! / But he leapfrogs her!"
Seven is CUTEBEE: "Seven: Down the stairs / But her legs are very long / Wicked pointed things!"
Eight is BEEBACKG: "Eight: There is the Queen! / Quick he leaps onto her throne A new friend, says queen."

Edit to add Eight
Edit to add third line from One, correct error in Five, and add the numbers so now they're all hive-ku!

 		Some of this reads an awful lot like haikus. A lot of the lines also scan, syllable-wise, right now. Some don't.

 		looks like there's a clear difference between the navigation buttons and the photos

nav buttons have another fable/story

photos have the SP's voice

 		They're all haiku. Some methods must not be catching all strings.

farnsworth-window: The Sleeping Princess / woke up alone and frightened / but now I have friends
bee2_margaretphoto: Queen's new counselor / seek evade reveal resist / Whispers in her ear.
dana: You sent me stories / Mysterious, exciting / I read all of them!

Possibly obvious, possibly not - these scan as haiku if and only if you read their associated numbers first.

Sweet. I was hoping that's what it was.

My spec is that it's the sleeping princess again, finding another format of text with which to communicate. Nifty.

SP is getting more verbose. Here's what I'm seeing so far.
Farnsworth= "You're helping me, friends."
Bee2= Ties in with the new story about the Pious Flea. After not being able to be killed by the Queen, it's offering her it's services as a spy.
Dana= Pretty obvious.

Anymore SP haikus?

 		Gathering all from the about page:

Quote:
farnsworth-window: The Sleeping Princess / woke up alone and frightened / but now I have friends
danadress: Dana is a friend. / She's a girl like me, I think, / Fresh and full of fun!
danapicnic: Sometimes D is slow / Have to keep an eye on her, / hers a sheltered life
chloe: D. like a sister / Someone not old to talk to, / Better than the queen!
margaret: What a funny way / you talk, old fashioned, but now / I can do it too!
dana: You sent me stories / Mysterious, exciting / I read all of them!


(EDITED to include farnsworth-window, which I forgot the first time)

smoker: Why do I tease her? / The poor queen. Not much to do / for fun around here
