LOL I was just writing a post on this page, sighting the forum in another tab and saw you posted it. As you can see, I didnt go to bed Wink but now I really am going to sleep.

Edit to answer Amandel's thread below this: Sorry for confusing you, I was tired when I wrote the above. Basically I had 2 tabs opened up in my browswer. One with the new post preview getting ready to click "submit", the other with the VITS forum. Right before submitting the post, I refreshed the other tab to check if I was about to double post and I did almost double it. From this point on I will not add commentary/clutter like this to the threads.

End note: I saw the /metamorphosis page while I was laying in bed browsing on my blackberry in the middle of the night Rolling Eyes (my blackberry doesnt have sound support for pages). That forced me to get up out of bed and reboot my puter to the sounds of my wife going "dude, what are you doing!? You just came to sleep!?". I was like "umm Ill be back in a minuete Embarassed " - she now thinks I'm psycho...

Hi Psysop, while compiling all the page info kept checking all the threads to verify I wasn't doubling so still clueless about "sighting the forum in another tab" yet my looksee saw enough to keep us busy as bees with the newly hatched whatever Laughing
And the zzz MP3 tagged Dave Szulborski is, of course, the well known ARG designer and author of such titles as This Is Not A Game: A Guide to Alternate Reality Gaming and Through the Rabbit Hole so that's a Cool shout-out reffy.

The first voice sounds afraid, and I think she's saying, "Who do I talk to?" The second, clearer, woman (I think) says, "I am the true marquesa." Not sure about the first woman's last comment. Sounds like, "I don't know you."

The female voice sounds to me like "I am what true mercy is about".

waitress-- Yaha, that's prolly it--was hearing .... a scout instead of about, and figured "mercy scouts" was just too wacky. Rolling Eyes

Do feel that it is spoken by a chid's voice which, of course, I'm hoping is that of Grace and ROFL@ Psysop's wife thinking he's ....well, psycho. Smile

waitress, I think you nailed that one--nice work! She sounds young. Could it be Grace?

Also, I am starting to hallucinate. In the dis.jpg, below the eyes, there are dark lines and the longer I stare at them, the more they look like some sort of circular ruin, like the Colosseum or Stonehenge.


Here's my best attempt to get a better look at the dis.jpg section--not sure if you'll find it helpful.

Great job on these new discoveries!

Tresbien, thanks for the image manipulation. It does look like something architectural, like pillars and an arch, starting just to the left of the right ear.
And that blob over at the left side... doesn't that look like that same "seated monkey" that Psysop posted about here in the d.jpg?

Thanks Tresbien!! The results you got with the pic are much better than anything I had achieved. I still see "something" circular, regluar-shaped with arcs. Dunno And yes, the girl/monkey is there, too.

Nice Drizjr! I was wondering what the SHIVER phrase meant.

One thing I still wish we knew was distortion's motive. We know he is the result of all that is bad about humanity, and our darkness feeds his power, but why does he exist and why the malice? Is it a ying/yang thing? Some comic book duality that we should just accept? Or perhaps will we save distortion at some point? Might be worth asking Echo when/if hes back in full force.

Looking at the void
Staring....

To me it looks like a person- with a head and arms. Arms raised in the air like they're trying to break out, but that could just be me adding to things.

Take Care,
Kendra

The person's fingers of the left hand are curled, and it looks to me like they're possibly holding onto a blade, which can be seen in shadow across the forehead.

Maybe a combo of both? The emerging whatever is flailing and using that long. sharp "shive" to free themself, then figuratively "spreading wings made in pain"? Actually a pretty gruesome pic.

Shive/shiver in the core would be a very nice play on words, so I'll happily go with that amandel. So would we also say that d is a knife in the wounds of these tortured souls?
