 		Checked sources again. Bricker's about.html page is back to normal (whenwhenwhen comment removed), and 090909.html has also had the comment (youcandoit) removed. No other changes that I can see

He had us searching the internet all the time. Portnoy King. Bricker. Bella Hanson. Brightman Institute. Arlen Rage. He was so excited when we found the Port King blog, kept saying "It's happening."

He was very interested in the Brian Bricker website.


Interesting bit there. That's the first time (that I recall) seeing Bella's last name.

Has anyone tried leaving any comments on the blog?

WRT names, Portnoy is an extremely unusual first name - beyond rare - it's an uncommon last name - first name, never

see for yourself: http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html

more names - Gerald MacNear, Buster Wally, Floyd Pusich and even Dame Merry Hanson - from the 1st page of TGATT - described as "some of the most notoriously insane individuals in America between the years of 1935 and 1942" - since the PMs went to the trouble to establish Brightman Institute as RL (see wikipedia article on WPA) i thought they might do the same with the four "notoriously insane individuals" - but i haven't found anything on them - clue or not? - i don't know

That's... interesting. Where Kelvin plays into this, I don't know. But the Hazels seem to be very talkative at the moment, so guys--get some questions in before they get killed or something! I took the opportunity to ask about their note about the ticket on the image post:

You say the original ticket was stolen--by whom?

The Hazels said...
First by Patriot, then by Lenny.


... /headscratch

So if Lenny is Rage, then who is the invisible man? The invisible man can't also be Rage--because, I mean, why steal from himself?
I do, however, have a feeling he's the One we've been looking for all along...

 		Double post, but:

What about Eric? Are you familiar with him at all?

The Hazels said...
We are familiar, not enough to shed light on his activities.

Anonymous said...
Was Eric playing the Game, too?

The Hazels said...
A company coordinates parts of The Game and that company employs numerous Erics. But that all happened after we left the invisible man to try and help you.


Ughghgh fuck, brain hurts. If Eric and his 'company' are related to the same Game that TT and the Hazels are playing, I am pretty certain that Eric is, ahem, 'in game'. Remember that Eric referred to Lenny once. So Eric was playing The Game. And Eric was playing a made-up version of Bricker. And the Bricker we know is not the same thing as the real Bricker out there.

And that when that ticket hits the condo at 4456 Culebra Ave in a few days, things are going to get Interesting.

Well, for a start, can we get a flowchart, and maybe some industrial strength analgesic?

Classical does make a good point, though, the Hazels seem to always be talking about "the invisible man" and only mention "Lenny" a few times, and it seems like they are taking care to distinguish Lenny from the invisible man(?)

Well, here's another thing nobody's mentioned yet. The post titled "A Watcher Appears"
Quote:
As March closed we were contacted by a woman called Valerie.

Oh, I suspect that's our "Val Seer". Get it - watcher, seer?

The invisible man and Lenny/Rage/Demolay are not the same people. We know from Bricker's description that he's not the invisible man. He showed up at Port's apartment and killed those 2 G-men. However, I'm wondering if this invisible man, isn't The One? From what we've read so far, The One doesn't have a body, he needs to inhabit one, and Rage has more or less been identified as a suitable host. Again I'm not sure that the invisible man and The One - are *ahem* one and the same, but I'm pretty sure that the invisible man and Lenny are NOT the same person.

One other thing - they mentioned that they left the invisible man to come help us? Cryptic puzzles, hidden information, and a ton of meta. interesting idea of help, lol

 		Disagreed. Check out the latest bunch of comments. The Hazels say "we know that Lenny is no longer invisible" - so they are the same person.

except that the bulk of the premise AFAICT is that characters from a fictional work-in-progress are becoming or have become manifest IRL - so there may be multiple invisibles past or present as the characters become incarnate

seer is slightly synonymous with oracle

i like the flowchart idea - circles and arrows always help - and i'm always down for industrial strength analgesics - i like you windup angel - you have good ideas

 		Posted just a little while ago:
Quote:
Dawn of Our Sorrow...
It was early on a Friday. The nearly visible man appeared before us rubbing his hands together.

"I know how we're going to do this, this." he howled. "I've found just the right little pig."

As his fingers flew over our keyboard we looked at each other and we saw tears.

We didn't know real regret until that moment. As our parents rotted in their bed, eyes of disbelief frozen in time and slowly drying and other bodies stuffed into corners and crawlspaces.

And they don't come back.

It no longer felt like a game to us.


How... apt.
That 'Friday' is April 3rd, i.e. the day the first Kelvin emails were sent.

If I didn't before feel like the rodent in the maze being observed from above, I do now.
