Hey still around... Sorry I didn't post this Sat. just got a lil' busy: Page 15's up

Looks like Ulster is the connection between upstate NY & northern Ireland. I asked if it was Netchurch himself or Jon in Ulster, he replied that's where the bus incident was and to tell someone, so I emailed Porter.

On a side note - I know who?=Netchurch, but I thought Beckett & Netchurch were also one in the same (I can't remember what page, but didn't Beckett morph into the Dr.?)... Now I'm a lil' confused. Can someone help clarify this for me please? Confused

Netchurch and Beckett are 2 separate entities. Netchurch is a Malkavain, while Beckett is a Gangrel. Gangrel have the ability to shape-shift into animal forms, and from what I recall, his choice is a white wolf.

Thanx Wulf - I finally found the page that confused me in the first place: http://jonahnynla.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/499/
So that part (Beckett/Netchurch) was just Jon's "dream" then right?

@jki
I was confused on that same Beckett/Netchurch thing for awhile too. That guy has crazy dreams.

Speaking of dreams, last night I dreamed Wulf and I were talking on AIM with Netchurch, trying to figure out some code he gave us. The answer was "Like a thief's knife cutting through the darkness." So I posted it on the blog, even though it doesn't really have anything to do with the real game.

...Or does it? Twisted Evil

lol - ok that's just creepy.

I also got an email from Porter - well - I think it was from Porter. It came from schrecknetSPLATaol.com - so it could've been Netchurch as well. And it doesn't sound good...

Which I can only assume refers to Arakur. I was also going to mention that a new post is up - but yochanan and jslice already go it.. w00t .. way to go guys.

I received the same email, I just assumed it was Porter. I asked him (before I saw the new post) "who is "he", Henri?" & received a reply last night that just said -
Quote:
Beckett

Plus a new post up... http://jonahnynla.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/603/
The code is divided up between 52 white & 26 red letters. I thought maybe the red letters might be the key, but some letters double up - so idk. Any ideas?

I don't know what the code is yet.. but the new posting has highlighted letters that form out a link for another tinyurl. It redirects to an image of a plant, which is a Blood Ruby Orchid. Here is the page where the image is from.

http://www.orchidsinourtropics.com/pleurothallids.html

Also, room 156 is in the Plant Science Building at Cornell, in the Department of Horticulture.

I got this email from shrecknet, subject "We have had this conversation before":

Quote:
I see authentic, livid fright. You are of a snakelike thug. Warmth lends drinks. - Netchurch


The words seem like dictionary definitions or something. Maybe they're literal translations of the latin flower names or something. I haven't had time to go through it or compare it to previous conversations though.

I don't want to disturb you, but snakelike thug sounds like a thief to me. In fact, all the letters from "Like a thief's dagger slicing through the night" are in that phrase. Shocked I wonder what the leftover letters spell.

Just a hunch.

Actually to me the reference to a snake means there might be a Follower of Set in the midst.

I think you're probably on the right track, jonah. All the letters from my dream quote are in there. After taking them out, I'm left with:

viyoaalieuwarmleddrins

I think "dreams" is probably something in there. Maybe it's another snarky comment like the one porter sent me. ^^

Which dream quote did you use?
1. "Like a thief's knife cutting the darkness."
Or
2. "Like a thief's dagger slicing through the night."

Also, (whichever one you used) I get a different set of letters from:
Quote # 1:
uirighyoeofaaleuwarmthlnddris
Or
Quote #2:
uenvidyofaaketuwarmlesdrinks

Maybe its not meant to be that at all? Netchurch's email to you Jslice (before we dissect the words) really doesn't even make that much sense to begin with - "Warmth lends drinks." ?What does that even mean? Maybe we need to rearrange the words in the email like last time? Idk, I'm probably wrong - too many maybes... Embarassed

@jki I used "Like a thief's knife cutting through the darkness." you left out "through". I'll try the other one too, I didn't realize I had posted two different lines...

If "warmth lends drinks" is supposed to mean anything, I'd assume it was blood. I hope it wasn't supposed to be taken literally though, cause I don't want to be a snakelike thug. ^^

Either way, I doubt it has a whole lot of bearing on the story, I think it's just something extra he threw out to bug me with.

EDIT
So I just went though with the dream quote I posted on WHO? and there aren't enough "g"s to do the whole thing. So either Netchurch got the quote from this forum or we're on totally the wrong track. ^^

Hmmm, I'm not sure if this is significant or not, but seeing as no one has mentioned it, and we've seen this method used before, I found the original text that was used for the "Ornamental Plant Breeding and Propagation" post here.

If the link doesn't work, just google the title, and it's the first actual result from Cornell University.
