alright I've been pondering over that note for a while...

You think that because it says "I have no idea whats going to happen in the coming hours" something may happen at a specific time in the near future?

Wait...What did you guys say that last video had?
Will we only have 3 videos? It was Credits only or was there a scene before the credits?

It seemed to be the 'end'. But it was found because it had the wrong permissions set on the website, and it was taken down. There was a scene before the credits.

So will we only have a total of 3 videos?

As far as we know. It might have been named wrong accidentally even... As it was only known as video3 whatever the extension.

Could have been for testing and then the wrong permissions left set, etc.

Hello everyone... jumping on into this, new to unfiction.

I tried manipulating the image but I haven't been able to see much. There does sort of appear to be a "PT-2" in the carpet on the top left of the envelope. Like what it would look like if you plaid with the carpet first with your fingers.

Just throwing this out since I have no idea if its useful or not. Smile

Sure does look like something. I tried all kinds of variations of pt-2, part-2, part two, ect. No dice.

Could it be something else? Time zone related maybe? Its not very steady so I was a little confused by it... maybe I'm just pushing in the dark.

Those all are good ideas, and plausible ones I think. The page source does show some type of java script tracker. I am not sure what it is tracking, time or just where the user is going. I tried chaning my system time to 2.10 and reloading the page to see if anything changed. Nothing.

I'm starting to think that maybe this page is not a lead to another page....

Ok I once sent Edward an email which said:

Quote:
Edward,

For what it's worth... We don't know eachother and I'm not too sure how it happened that I came across your email address.

But while surfing on the net I stumbled upon a weird page in which a video was embedded and this page was attached to your name in some way.

Can I be of assistance?


The phrase: What happened on the train - Was italicalised in that email. I've just recieved a response.

Quote:
Greetings,

As you will undoubtedly notice, this is an automatic immediate email reply to your message. I am sequestering myself away from human contact for a length of time as I work on my next big project. If you really need to reach me, however, I'm sure you will find a way to contact me.

As an aside, and not to get too dreary eyed, but I really do appreciate everything you have done for me, no matter who this is I am actually speaking to. I might not be seeing you for a while, if things don't pan out as I plan.

Take care, godspeed,

Edward


I'm not sure how to copy/paste exactly as it appears in the email but basically letters were italic in the email which spelled out:

Quote:
this is the start of what was.


I've tried every variation search for a website... An extension to our original website. Checked Youtube for channels relation... I just cannot figure it out.

maybe this song is a key. "this is the start of what was"

"Birmingham, England's The Streets' second full-length album, "A Grand Don't Come For Free," is a concept album that plays like a hip-hopera. In the story, main character Mike Skinner loses a thousand pounds, falls in love, deals with shady mates and eventually comes to a revelation about his life and these relationships"

Album appears to conclude with the empty cans song.

MSNBC says:

The album concludes with the eight-minute, two-part "Empty Cans." Half way through the song the track is rewound to the beginning and started over with the mood of the song dramatically changed. The mantra "something that was not meant to be is done/ and this is the start of what was" sums up the tale. For anyone who was looking for a hip-hop musical, The Streets is watching — out for you.


So I am thinking one of two things. Either something about the story of the album is where the next page is. Or the fact that halfway through This "Empty Cans" song, it is rewound and started over. That goes along with our time travel theme.

Not sure how to start over, I looked and nothing seems to be different.

So I've been going through everything over and over and I guess a bunch of us simply missed this URL from the last line of that note:

Not sure if its technically a spoiler or not so I put it in.
