 		One thing I've noticed with storyline is that the characters don't really post things on the weekends. Kind of strange from an IG viewpoint, but whatever.

I guess the PM's want breaks from their work, too.

 		Join us in Mahkra Asylum / Kana Itsume?

The characters respond quite quickly. It's pretty nice.

Then again, maybe there aren't a whole lot of followers with this one. Who knows. I think the PM is in America (Cali, to be exact).

dposse00: Hey, Gail.
ApaceGAILMindset: Hey
dposse00: Hows everything over there?
ApaceGAILMindset: Not good... I left a message when I was working away at figuring out this exit route but no-one got it evidently.
ApaceGAILMindset: Professor Broxbourne's dead and I'm in hiding considering it's now evident and obvious that Forester knows what we were up to.
dposse00: We haven't heard a word from Robbie or Diane in a while. Are they okay?
ApaceGAILMindset: Lost any sign of contact over the past couple of days, I have a feeling the "transmitters" have been messed with. Riley is going to try sneaking into A.M tonight and work on those.
dposse00: So, they're still alive but they can't talk with us because of a technical glitch?
ApaceGAILMindset: I'd use the word Sabotage more than glitch but yeah that's about it. Their vitals are fine.
dposse00: Do you know where they are currently?
ApaceGAILMindset: In game or physically?
dposse00: in game
ApaceGAILMindset: Last I heard the Lif3 guys had commandered a bus and were in the North of London.
dposse00: ah, ok
dposse00: We might have a problem with the whole "not telling them anything about the game" thing you told us about
dposse00: On Robbie's blog, he mentioned that he heard your answering machine message to the Professor
ApaceGAILMindset: I see. Well at this stage it probably wont matter; they'll need to be told once Riley and I have figured out the exit strategy.
dposse00: We havent said anything to Robbie yet, but curosity is a strong emotion, you know? Robbie was asking us if we knew this Professor or you
ApaceGAILMindset: That's fine. But it can wait, for now our priority is regaining the contact and also working on this exit
dposse00: Understood.
dposse00: So, those guys that killed the Professor...the ones with the red symbols on their jackets...are they still in game? Are they a danger to Diane, Robbie and the others?
ApaceGAILMindset: They're both ingame and Outofgame, as to their whereabouts now I have no clue, we lost track of them.
dposse00: Are they after you?
ApaceGAILMindset: Yes.
dposse00: Anything we can do to protect you?
ApaceGAILMindset: There's nothing that's going to save me unless of course you can stop those guys? I still don't think Forester has gathered that I've "recruited" some of you outsiders.
dposse00: Ah, i see
ApaceGAILMindset: We need to figure out some kind of diversion tactic
dposse00: blow some shit up? haha
ApaceGAILMindset: Maybe... I was more looking toward a tactical diversion within the company. Some kind of... I don't know. Emergency in our... Which state do you live in?
dposse00: Connecticut
ApaceGAILMindset: In our Connecticut branch.
dposse00: indeed? How can we help with that?
ApaceGAILMindset: Were you one of the applicants? Or one of those I stole the email address from the Lif3 guys' accounts?
dposse00: one of those you stole from lif3
ApaceGAILMindset: Ah yeah sorry about that, I did say I'd explain but as you can see by now this was all part of a game therefore we had access to the accounts, hence me being able to get addresses for those people I saw in a state to help us.
dposse00: Hey, don't worry about it. Im glad to be of help.
dposse00: Don't underestimate the power of the internet. ^_^
ApaceGAILMindset: I don't, don't worry. I found my job here, from an online ad.
ApaceGAILMindset: Kind of wish I hadn't now but eh, whatever.
dposse00: If you weren't here...then Diane and Robbie wouldnt stand a chance
ApaceGAILMindset: Well that's true.
dposse00: So, did Forester sabotage the communications?
ApaceGAILMindset: I'm guessing so.
dposse00: Okay. just wanted to make sure
dposse00: Is there anything else you wanted us to do?
ApaceGAILMindset: Right now, nothing I can think of if I'm being completely honest.
dposse00: Okay. Stay strong, Gail. I'll talk to you later.
ApaceGAILMindset: Okay, thank you.


Just talked to Gail. The good news is, the game is still on!!!

dposse00: Hi, Gail
ApaceGAILMindset: Hello... Anything new from those inside the game?
dposse00: Nope.
dposse00: And i'm getting worried
ApaceGAILMindset: Yes, me too... I fear that Forester could have already done something. Riley and myself have pretty much figured out an exit strategy but we needed one of our top techinicans and he seems to have gone walkabout.
dposse00: Oh? What's your strategy?
ApaceGAILMindset: Nothing I can elaborate on at the moment, until we have our technician back, I'm afraid... But it involves infiltrating AM's systems.
dposse00: hmm.
dposse00: Have you fixed the communication within the game?
ApaceGAILMindset: No. I fear this is possibly why we've heard nothing... Yet.
dposse00: Is there anything you want us to do?
ApaceGAILMindset: Right now... Continue to attempt contact with the group. Riley and I are taking leave here tonight; we're going to FL to meet up with Leon.
dposse00: That's a interesting development
ApaceGAILMindset: I believe Leon may hold more information than he led anyone @ A.M, including myself, to believe when his game finished.
ApaceGAILMindset: I guess he wasn't certain who he could and could not trust.
dposse00: He needs to start trusting someone before it's too late
ApaceGAILMindset: Oh he does now... I just don't think he realizes what he has.
dposse00: And what does he have?
ApaceGAILMindset: Information, notes, codes.
ApaceGAILMindset: Paperwork, essentially.
dposse00: ah, ok
dposse00: When will we get to contact you again since you're going to florida?
ApaceGAILMindset: I'll be bringing my iPhone with AIM capability and a laptop.
dposse00: a iPhone, eh? very cool. (im a geek)
ApaceGAILMindset: It was all they had in store.
dposse00: i see.
dposse00: well, i'll ttyl.
dposse00: bye
ApaceGAILMindset: Okay, bye.


A small convo, but some news. Gail is going to Florida to meet Leon. We need to make contact with Diane and Robbie, somehow....

Kept caps and punctuation the same.

Sent one back

Robbie, can you read me? It's Amanda/VaWood


Nothing big, just a test to see if Texting would be the next step in communication. Nothing new on podbean, and what did Gail mean about leaving something for us to solve? We missed something???



Hey, how much does texting to the UK cost? LOL *prays her mom doesn't notice on the bill*


EDIT! Rply from Robbie

Robbie wrote:
Yes I read you. Mobile communications now working out here was not sure if they would reach. Need to tell Gail that Broxbourne's files point towards some kind of game?! I have no idea what any of this means!


God I wish some of you all were on right now, I'm not sure whether or not to tell him he's in the game. I'll see if I can find Gail online.

 		Yeah, she told me. Shot down my enthusiasm as soon as my first IM got through. Has she given you anything useful yet? Cause it seems like she's keeping me at arm's length. Taking forever to respond and not really giving me anything when she does.

dposse00: Gail? Bad news
ApaceGAILMindset: What is it?
dposse00: We got a text from Rob. he says:
dposse00: "This is Rob. I have no idea if you'll even receive this but I and the Lif3 participants are trapped. Broxbourne is dead and all your numbers are stored on A.M.'s staff list. we need to get word to Gail. Broxbourne's files say its important!"
ApaceGAILMindset: Okay! At least we know they can use... Phones? That's strange, ingame phones communicating outside; that's a notch above our recent trial and error periods... But, get to me for what though?!
dposse00: Well, what's in Broxbourne's files?
ApaceGAILMindset: I don't know, they're in there... Not here.
dposse00: Okay...
dposse00: Think. You knew Broxbourne, didnt you? What could be so important?
ApaceGAILMindset: Well he was in there, trying to get them out, so it's more than likely to do with that?
dposse00: Perhaps...
dposse00: "and all your numbers are stored on A.M.'s staff list" - Does that mean that Rob is using the list, or A.M is?
ApaceGAILMindset: I'm guessing he found it if he's able to send SMS to someone.
dposse00: Gail, this is bad...
dposse00: robbie sent a text back to us when we replyed
dposse00: "Mobile communications now working out here was not sure if they would reach. Need to tell Gail that Broxbourne's files point towards some kind of game?! I have no idea what any of this means!"
dposse00: so, uh...i told you.
dposse00: Robbie has Broxbourne's files and is reading stuff he probably shouldnt read
ApaceGAILMindset: It's fine, let him read them.
ApaceGAILMindset: He needs to be told.
dposse00: what happened to the whole "they will die if they are told" thing?
ApaceGAILMindset: I never said they would die physically... I said it could be dangerous for them to find out in a shocking manner until the exit strategy was sorted.
dposse00: because...they would lose hope? a sense of reality? what?
ApaceGAILMindset: It's like telling a six year old, Santa doesn't exist.
dposse00: i'm gettin a serious Matrix vibe from all this...*sigh*
ApaceGAILMindset: There are no red or blue pills... Don't worry.
dposse00: haha
ApaceGAILMindset: The point being I'm tired of hiding from Forester and these guys need out.
ApaceGAILMindset: They're all grouped and in a safe place at the moment, the exit strategy is almost finished; therefore now is probably a prime time to explain things to them.
dposse00: i say go Commando on his sorry ass
dposse00: What do you want us to tell Robbie?
dposse00: Gail?
ApaceGAILMindset: Ask if he has internet access on the phone. If he does, point him in the direction of AM.
dposse00: why? for the truth?
ApaceGAILMindset: Tell him Broxbourne has a file on "Lif3" - DO NOT Tell him to read it, until he has confirmed 'net access and been to the AM site.
dposse00: That's like telling a kid their presents are downstairs, but dont go open them
ApaceGAILMindset: Why is it? You ask if he has net. He confirms you send him to AM, then tell him to read Broxbourne's Lif3 file. He doesn't confirm I'll have to figure out another way of getting him to check out AM.
dposse00: Alright, alright. geez
dposse00: You need a vacation after all this is done
ApaceGAILMindset: I think we all do. Lives are at stake and everyone's getting slightly heated.
dposse00: Heh, yeah. Alright, i'll tell the others. bye for now
ApaceGAILMindset: Okay... Thank you, I apologize for any unjust tension on my part. You're a great help. Goodbye.


1. Ask rob if he has access to the internet
2. If he does, point him to the A.M website
3. After he sees the A.M website, tell Rob to read Broxbourne's file on Lif3.

The beginning of the end is here, folks....

 		Aright! Sweet, I'm glad this is back on too!

FYI, Atropanocturna / Amanda and I, Ari are in Florida! Lol, I know there are a few of us down here freezing in the sunshine! Dead drop?!

Gail's definitely making it sound like its time to tell the characters they're in a game and that'll progress the story.

 		This seems pretty interesting. Can someone give me a quick rundown of the story so far? I usually read the whole thread but reading through thirty some pages is really a hassle. I'd really appreciate it.

This game is Part Two of a game that ended months ago. Basically, a company created a Holodeck-type technology that a few people are trapped in. The "players" thought they were in a Big Brother type reality show called "Lif3". The company's head chief is a evil SOB who wants no witnesses to the failure of the technology. We're trying to save them.

Any questions?
