Also: No email updates from Amad or Kana yet Sad

 		Yeah, no responses from anyone here...

EDIT - It's weird how all of the ARG's I'm really involved with seem to stop after a while. Like Lif3 and Amelia in the Bathroom. Heck, what if Rachel's Walk doesn't even start?

 		Amadeus answered my email asking how I know he's not his brother with "I'm not creepy." Helpful -.-

 		I tried running stegdetect on various images, and the background image from the main Mahkra site gave me a positive for jphide. It could be false, but we haven't got much to work on at the moment, so it's worth some attention.

Tried as passphrases:

[nothing]
Kana Itsume
Angry doctor
Angry doctor! ANGRY!
Konstantin Von Heinrich
Mahkra
Mahkra Psychiatric Hospital
Mahkra Phychiatric Hospital
phychiatric
Down once more
Where did you go? Why did you leave me? I hate you

Not a mad doctor

 		Kana's two blogs, and the blog of Amadeus have all been updated.

Kana has found a way out, and it looks like Amadeus has seen her.

 		got Email's from the Doc and Amadeus

Quote:
Well, I've always thought that current treatments are simply too "soft." No pain, no gain, I've always thought!

So, one day, as I was reading an old casebook from Rutledge Asylum, I found exactly the methods I wanted.

As of right now, I'm just getting the girl warmed up. But, I intend to try a method similar to training pets: If she shows signs of mania, I'll "punish" her with more treatment. If she shows signs of progress, I'll let her off the hook for a while.

That experiment isn't until later, though.



Asked Amadeus how we knew he wasn't his brother acting:

Quote:
Alright, well...

I have a sense of humor.
I'm not an ass.
I don't torture little children
I'm not creepy
I have a moral copass
I don't eat my little brother's pets because "I thought it would be a good prank"
I'm not creepy
I don't play Alice (Not anymore, at least)
I'm a fairly good actor (Although not really "School play" material, sadly. We can't all be winners.)
I'm drunk
I'm not creepy
I don't cause pain and misery whenever I sing
I'm not creepy
I don't work in a creepy asylum
I'm not creepy



Edit:

Read Kana's blog, sounds like she's getting in the head of a serial killer, given the Doc's history of Abuse to small animals i'd say it's him.

Another point towards American McGee's Alice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_McGee%27s_Alice#Plot

Alice is placed in Rutledge Asylum in the game.

EDIT - Maybe he's pointing us to the actual casebook that comes with the game.

EDIT2 - Here's a link to some info on the doctor that treated Alice and his casebook.

and HERE is a link to a PDF of the casebook.

 		I asked Deus if the name Itsume meant anything to him, and he replied:
Amadeus wrote:
Itsume... The name DID ring a bell the first time I heard it, but I can't think of where.
No, no records on any Itsume's, especially a Kana Itsume.

Then I asked where Mahkra was located:
Amadeus wrote:
Mahkra is located about 60 miles north of San Diego. Just off the I-15.

Google map 60 miles from SD off the I-15 and it puts you somewhere around TEMECULA, CALIF.

 		can someone who's previously chatted with the doc, ask him if there are any particular entries in the casebook from Rutledge that he's interested in?

 		Ammy said the female outside his house wasn't Kana, but someone older.

Unfortunately he said he's going to have to take Kana back in.

I wonder who that female is?

EDIT - PM getting a bit antsy? I told Amadeus that we heard voices in that video... and about that female out in front of his house.

Ammy wrote:
I don't hear anyone talking. I think that's your imagination.

What IS freaking me out a bit, though, is that dip in the volume at around 16 seconds in. If my math is right, that happened a bit around 2:00 AM, which was around when the murder took place...

And, yeah, I'm totally talking to her tonight. I'll try to blog about how that goes Wink


I'm going to get ready for bed... Anyone want to check out that video again?
