Rika, who sent you that email, and under what context? I just thought it would be nice to know how you got there.


Sorry. Email was from Melpomene, and the short answer is it was in response to an email I sent:

"Sometimes so much is scrawled on walls it is hard to isolate the relevant from the noise.
Sometimes what was discounted as irrelevant gains greater import in the future.
Sometimes the solution slowly ceases to matter, and the journey becomes the key.

Where are the boundaries of downtown in a prefecture teeming with life and neon lights in 23 wards?
What is the hole in the middle of, in a prefecture riddled with the holes of subway tunnels?

As for the third word, that may or may not be a word at all...
Is it M-09, the station number for Shinjuku-sanchōme station, on the Marunouchi Line?
Am I creeping closer to the right track?

Alternately is it 19, the number calculated by adding the I that begins Iriguchi (09) and the J that begins Jitensha (10)?"


I have grown haunted by this work of art, obsessive, and for every inch I uncover another foot of confusion is exposed.

Edit-- can anyone make out these letters from the aixgsh picture? I just can't get them clear enough for my eyes.

For those still trudging along with this Japanonymous has a new post directly mentioning Qu13e. http://www.japanonymous.com/inexplicable-answerotica

I have hit such a brick wall over the last week, no progress, no new ideas.

I just found a 24. Misdirection or right direction?

More or less than a word or a number, which direction is inside out?


/sigh

So close and yet so far. Ever always halfway there.

I was just thinking of a doorbell as Melpomene keeps repeating that 1+2=3 thing. 1 = entrance (maybe a door), 2 = bicyle (which usually has a bell).

Maybe we have to ring a doorbell to enter Qu13e...

That's the only thing I can come up with at the moment :/

Here's some of the assorted things I'm at a standstill about, aside from the ones already being discussed. Sorry if this gets long. Man I hope something in here triggers a brainstorm for someone.

Image gsh10a, the hand. Along with the easily seen numbers there's lighter ones all over, lots of 7's, and the words "a major". Also a + sign on index finger. I suspect the 6 blocks refer to the 9 squares on the first page somehow.

Image aixgsh, the goggles. I still can't make out the letters/numbers I mentioned a couple posts ago, the other lens has upside down binary I can't make sense of, and he has what looks like 05 edited onto his lips. I keep going back to this picture and thinking invisibleye, because the glasses are so dark, but that might just be a neurological misfire.

Image hg01as, the bicycle. Only thing I have here that's unmentioned is the zigzag/lightning bolt drawn on the concrete reminds me of the zigzag staircase in the 1813 picture.

Image agixsh, is this remembering poem. There's numbers on the wall, a 24 near the right edge and a faint 57 a little up and left of that.

Image agsixh, absinthe. The shadows on the ace look an awful lot like a backward 14.

Image gs10ha, I am the key. All the letters except for the slashed ones that spell Random Martin have letters beneath them, except for the I. The I's have 7's.

Japanonymous stuff--
March 13th Mistaken Icon- I believe this entire post is a hint, but in particular "Nine of them. From one into the other, then two from the four - the answer speaks from behind a door."

Japanonymous has tons more content that's potentially important, right down to the number of posts per month (9 the first 2 months, 7 per month consistantly since then) and the dates posted on (all odd days).

Thoughts on any little thing I mentioned, anyone? Please? I'm growing frustrated with my inability to piece the next layer together. I wish I knew where to be looking.

Rika,

I'm sorry for not having been much help. The truth is I don't even know the answer to "What's Three of Three?"

I only know I'll know it when I see and hear it. That's what Random said before he disappeared.

But he'd done it before so many times, who could have guessed this time he was serious?

I only write to warn you, escape while you still can. There are so many secrets at stake, and so many to not trust.

And now I've said too much.

You asked me how I knew Random.

I was his assistant many years ago, at Studio 1813.

You also asked if I was D.M.

No, I'm not, and don't know who is.

It's strange how someone who is gone can still feel so here.

Am I watching?

Rika, there are things and them to beware of.

So ever always, we.


I don't know what, if anything, is relevant to the current challenge. I'm so absorbed in this world.

I think those are binary 1's and 0's

I'm gunna close my eyes and pretend his autoresponder was really him getting the birthday wishes I sent to 9starspills SPLAT gmail.com

Quote:
"And now dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart and ear and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly."

Rika - I beleave you're right about the letters, theres more than binary there, i'm pretty sure I see "L F G R U T"(others are to fuzzy to tell) I dont have pic programs to rip it apart, but it deffinetly looks like theres more there.
