"tallerbird" is not me.

Strange. I didn't get the email. Not in my junk folder either.

Anyway i sent an email to Leon basically saying that Diane needed his help. I sent it in morse code because from reading the weirdness city thread that was the only way he could communicate when they last heard from him. This is the reply.

Hey,

Okay first off, it's a little odd that you wrote to this particular email address because I haven't used it in a long, long time. Maybe over a year I think? I seldom get online anymore since graduating College and going into Pharmecuticals.

As for Diane... Trying to think, that's the British girl right? Always wanted to be a movie star or something like that, said she'd get on T.V and be famous one of these days lol. But, why are you asking for help on her behalf, has she lost the internet?

And sorry but, why the heck did you email me in Morse Code? It took me ages to find somewhere on the web to decode that lol!!

Anyway, respond when you're free. I'll check this email out when I can,

Leon.

 		Hmm, I didn't get the Sector XII/Apace Mindset email, despite signing up. /me is feeling all left out Wink

That's a rather odd thing to say considering that that's how he communicated with people before. I guess he could simply be suspicious, but that isn't sitting right with me (though I can't put my finger on why). Is it possible that someone is posing as Leon, responding using his email address? Last time he was heard of in the Wierdnessicity thread, he was captured and in London.
In fact, Leon's responses in general seem very odd considering the rather major events that happened in his life just a few months ago.

EDIT: I had another thought about these responses. They don't seem like the sort of responses that a 'survivor' (for want of a better word) of the events in London would give. I daresay he'd be delighted to hear from anyone at all if he was still in the empty streets of London. So, I'm guessing he's not being held in London anymore, if he's being held at all.

Anyways, im off. Bai


That background is from Amelia in the Bathroom (seen below).

I guess it's easy to get these two ARG's mixed up.


Ye, sorry Wink
These two arg's almost look identical.

Okay, crap. I think we've totally just hit a storyline curve ball (maybe not the right analogy). I think, we're missing something major. Something like, the stories(ARGs) are connected but their all playing these virtual reality/temporal/dimensional video games, only they're not all playing the same game.

See, the thing is is that Leon King responded. So he exists. Though does he exist in Lif3? If the PMs are different... but then why are the stories definitely mixing? .....

Huh? I sent mine into http://www.apacemindset.com/?p=drive andI haven't gotten a reply either...

He hasn't replied to mine yet. Pharmaceuticals?? What happened to Space/Time? Someone ask if he switched majors(maybe cause he's sick?)., if he's from Cali, if he used to talk to Diane via IM (also should ask her if she wanted to be a movie star) and what school does he go to? HAs he heard of Apace Mindset?

Maybe he was brain washed? I was held captive then fell of the face of the .. blog.

 		Well, I'm reading over the Amelia in the Bathrrom ARG. I shot down the image that Llama post here from that thread of the black hand with an eye in it as not being related, but some one in the Amelia forum just said:

Leyton Stone wrote:
Well, that's definitely the "Big Brother" eye on the hand; ask her to look for possible hidden (web)cams somewhere?


So.. I'm rethinking it.

OOG note: the Amelia PM said they are going to continue/finish, "We will be back, better than ever". (I really hate discussing OOG crap, but it seems pertinent.)

Damn it, wish we could get Lance to see if there's a basement! Lol. I wonder if three converging ARGs is too much of a stretch? That'd be hell'a awesome though (Lol I siad hell'a). Has that been done before? I know PMs out there are wanting to stretch the genre.. hmm...

Someone ask to see if our people know an Amelia, Shawn and or Jane. 2 or 3 out of 3 and we have something Wink


(K, goodnight, see you in a few hours.) Smile

 		I don't use Cooliris, sorry. But one thing I did notice was that the first image there (the colour one), looks a little suspicious to me, it's nowhere near as good quality as the second and there's a light line across the bottom border. I just wonder if that one's stegged.

I don't have the software to check where I am now, but if anyone does I'd suggest trying some text from the second photo as the password. Also make sure to click through to the full sized image, because blogger's crunching software will probably destroy any encoded data.

 		For reference, the bridge in the first (colour) image, is Richmond Railway Bridge, (which apparently often gets mistakenly called Twickenham Railway Bridge).
The second image is of Twickenham train station's entrance.

EDIT: I found the source of the black and white image here

EDIT: Bleh. I'm going to be afk for most of the weekend from here on in. I'll catch up on the (no doubt) pages and pages of activity when I get back.

EDIT: Going to try the other names that she gave me in emails. Let you know what I get.

EDIT2: So far nothing on the emails.

Tried the following, mirroring them after gail's address:
