 		Hello everyone,

I'm a noob, this being my first ARG. Anyways, did anyone notice in the .pdf that there is an email addy for Kana? I figure that the email will be read by der Doktor, but not sure if or what I should send.

Like I said, poppin' my cherry here Laughing


edit to add: DaydreamingcricketSPLATgmail.com is the address

Anyway, you can trout me if it was mentioned here, but I searched at Unfiction and found very old thread:

It's from 2003, the ARG was "Chasing the Wish", and there is Mahkra Mental Health Care


Is it related? ARG comeback?

 		Kana Itsume = Kitsune

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune

She could be a fox spirit with amnesia?

EDIT: Sent her this:

Quote:
Hi.

I saw your blog. I think you should take a look at this: http://angrydoctornotmad.blogspot.com/

(If you can't; It's the doctor's blog. You'd better not provoke him. He can read your blog.)

You might be able to use the fact that he can read your blog against him somehow, as long as he doesn't know that you know.

Stay calm. I have friends, and we are trying to help you.


If he does see this, it doesn't tell him anything new, and the fact that people are onto him might make him hesitate.

 		Psysop, thx for the welcome. I love the creepy, hence why I decided to hop in. Besides, not a kid, so even more fun. Twisted Evil

Kosmopol, not sure if it's related but me thinks it is just a little too much of a "coincidence". Not able to pull up the pic tho.

Twiler, interesting idea on Kitsume.

Looking like fun Cool

Edited- found the pic. Tried Camo, nuttin'.

You know the little girl who got run over? We found her older sister's body hanging from a tree.


I'm about to ask him about the age of the female found. Dangit man...

EDIT - All blogs updated. Kana might be dreaming about the female found hanging from the tree... I haven't read through the doctor's blog yet, though. He says he does these things to Kana to make her better...

I'll be back with more.

 		The older sister is twelve apparently:

That depends if you consider "Looking around for hours and hours for evidence that doesn't exist while a 12 year old's body hangs from a tree behind you" counts as "trouble at work."

Isn't there some sort of rule about keeping adolescents under a certain age at the station until parents arrive? Just wondering.

One of your brother's patients is having weird dreams, and I think this (now dead) female was in her dreams. That and your brother is now using laundanum on her. Her name is Kana Itsume and speaks Japanese. I'm sure you might have heard of her?

Orphans, I think. There's probably a rule about that, too, but... We're not exactly the best police force around. I'm not proud to say it, but it's true. It's mostly old retired folk that live around here, so we're just... usually not needed, you know? We're actually havng the police from a nearby city help us with this, too, because everyone her is so damn incompetent.

Including me, sadly.

Yeah, I've seen Kana and her blog before. It's... it's definitely odd. I'm trying to look into it right now, but my brother is being an ass.


That was after asking him if he knew how old the older sister was. I'm guessing, perhaps, that his brother is right there with him? Or he's commenting about my laudanum statement?

EDIT - Shy, I didn't even think of that. Nice Smile

Mmmmhmm. He was a pretty sick kid growing up. Thought it was funny to play "organ transplant" with my stuffed animals and everything.

I always knew he'd end up in an asylum, but not as part of the staff.

The two girls... I dunno. I just moved here, so I don't really know much, but I've been told they were orphaned at birth, and one day our cheif just took them in at the station and they kind of became our mascots or something.

I dunno. I used to be a traffic cop until last week. Not exactly used to seeing dead people outside of my TV.

She was hung... Preeeeeety far up. Maybe a good 10 feet off the ground at least? Looks like she was hung with an old fashion noose.


I highly doubt a twelve year old would be able to tie a noose, much less hang herself from a branch ten feet off the ground.

Also, you can now leave comments on Kana's blog.

 		OK, I sent an email. Waiting for a reply.

Shy, d'oh! Absolutely has to be headlights, and I discarded the thought Embarassed So they live in the same town but don't talk much? Amadeus sure seems to know alot of what his brother is doing for not talking much.

 		I linked him to the blog, and the doctor strikes me as the kind to gloat, here's a thought, what if Kana isn't just seeing these things happen, maybe she causes them or at least part of them?

 		I thought about that:

1) Kana some how slips out of Asylum while medicated/asleep
2) Doctor controls her somehow

Kind of reminds me of the movie Isanitarium...

EDIT - seems the commenting on Kana's blog was a fluke. It is now disabled.

I find it odd that Amadeus' peers bugged him about a blog, yet haven't commented. Just a random thought.

EDIT2 - Kana has two blogs. Her second has no posts, yet. My Dream Diary

BINGO!

Doesn't the fact that she was roughly ten feet off the ground and hung by a noose hint towards homicide?

I realize there are some really gifted kids out there that can tie a noose and climb trees like monkeys, but what are the chances that this female was one of those kids?

Has the investigation of her suicide/murder started already?

Side note - I have great respect for street cops. I want to be one once I graduate from college.


Ammy wrote:
Oh, wow. Duh.

Yeah. That just goes to show how awesome our police force here is.

Yeah, the investigation is started, but... We're not finding much. No fingerprints, no suicide notes...

I'll go call up chief and hope that I'm the only one that didn't notice that there's practically no way this could be a suicide. Thanks for the help.

And, yeah. Traffic cop was fun. I had a reputation for doing this really funny imitation of a street light, complete with a camera to catch speeders.

PROBABLY not following the rules at all, but... Again, this place used to be a pretty boring town before now.


EDIT - I'm asking him if he could possibly check the asylum's surveillance to see if any of their patients slipped out at night.

 		I just assumed they knew it was a murder XP been asking him about the girl's dreams

Quote:
Yeah, exactly what I was thinking.

I am toally regretting renting that stupid video game last week now. Like, honestly, the last thing I need after playing the scariest game on earth is all of these murders going on, and that girl having dearms about them.

It doesn't help that she reminds me a lot of that girl from The Ring, either. I don't even know why, I don't even know what she looks like.

Kay, technically, it was more like "Pirate with the help of a friend" than it was "Rent,"but... I swear I'm going to go buy it legit when I have money, I promise >.>

Super duper scary. Was shitting my pants for hours.

It's really fun, though. Fun fun fun. Makes me want to watch the Disney movie. Which I was going to do, like, an hour and a half ago. Don't know why I didn't.
