More emails with Living. Here's the latest:

Quote:

Why does everyone keep calling me a hero? I'm not your leader. I'm not your hero. I wish I'd never gone into Melvin's apartment. I wish he'd never talked me into checking this account.

Don't you know anyone else with access to the Towers? Couldn't you just get that person to join your network, and then he could help you with whatever you're doing? That can't be a bad plan, can it?

I have to think. This can't be true. I have to think about this.

And mine in response:

Quote:

The information you gave about the pictures was most valuable and let to the information Melvin wanted us to have.

Wish I was there to give you a big hug right now. It sounds like you need one. You may think that you're unprepared for what we're all facing. In a way that may be true, but I think you and all of us have to seize this day, this time, and make our world fair and equal for all of us.

Even with the reservations you had about what Melvin asked of you, you did not decline or run away and hide. No, you gave your word to him, and then you followed through on your promises. The promises have not yet been fulfilled. Work remains to be done, and you are the person destined to lead us. It's a lot to think about, but I trust you will do what Melvin wanted and what all of us need. Please guide us as we work together for the good of all humanity.

My prayers are with you, and I hope that soon you will have help closer than you imagine now.

My correspondence with Inside

Read from bottom to top, last one is first first one is last kinda thing

Quote:

It must be you, there is no mistake. There is no other available, and no other will do anyway. It's in you, your strength and courage, to free us from our shackles and lead us to freedom and victory. We shall restore the glory of the Grotian kingdom, and place you upon its throne. It is up to you, please my King.

Look. Do you know anyone else? Anyone with access to Purity Towers? Maybe that guy can join your network. Maybe he can help you out.

I have to think about this.

I'm nobody's hero.

Melvin knew you would be reluctant. He believed in you though. Perhaps you have a background or history, or heritage.... I can't answer that. This is a cause that Melvin may very well have died to protect, and he BELIEVED in YOU. Inside you, somewhere, is the ability and strength to see this through. You have it in you to be something much more. To give freedom to your brethren, to become a hero, a leader,... a champion. Melvin would not have suggested you if it were not true. Now, you MUST take the helms, become the hero that you were destined to be. You now virtually have your own army, your own kingdom, your own loyal, and ever faithful followers. Lead us.... we await your orders.... My new king.
Faithfully,
Rev

Rev,

This is as safe as it gets, I guess. Melvin did some stuff to my computer a while back to make it possible for -- look. I don't want any part of this. Your friend told me what the letter said, but I think Melvin was completely wrong. I am no leader. Understand? I'm not a leader. I can't do this.

Why don't you keep recruiting more people to join your network? Maybe there's someone who can help you. Get them to sign up. Do you know anyone else with access to Purity Towers? I can't be your only "in."

Why did Melvin do this to me.

First off, we need to fiure out if your account is safe enough to discuss such matters. I can tell you that it appears from the message that Melvin has indeed passed on. You must assume the helms of a very important endeavor. Contact me back if you are sure this is a safe form of communication, otherwise I will discuss nothing more until we do have a safe method of communicating.
Rev

He's not just being reluctant -- if he were, he'd be gradually relenting.

He has said the exact same thing several times now: that we should recruit someone else. I believe this is the PMs prompting.

Yes, we should keep trying to recruit him. MS/SM told us as much straight out. But we need to find The Other One, too.

Is it perhaps Melissa?

Just received another email from Living. I sense apprehension but also a softening and desire to help. I'll try to assure him that help is on the way and that we don't expect him to be alone in this.

Quote:

Well, I'm glad I did something right.

But don't get the impression from that that I have any ability to do what Melvin could do. I'm just not Melvin. I want to respect his wishes, and I want to help you guys out, but this is nerve-wracking, and I have no confidence in my ability to follow-through. This is me being completely sincere. I'm just not a superhero.

Do you know anyone? Anyone at all? I can't possibly be the only person you know who can get in to Purity Towers. Do I really have to document or sneak around or whatever all by myself? Please don't ask that of me. I'll end up just like Melvin, and much faster.

Another email from Living:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Fine. I will help for a few days at least. But that's it if I think it's too dangerous. I'll make some videos for you, like Melvin wanted me to. But first I'm going to need to know who specifically will be in Purity Towers. That person has to be there either tonight or tomorrow.

Is that something you can do?

new email from inside

read bottom to top again of course. Oh and, we have a name for him now, I apparently named him Smile

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I don't know any Grotian legends, so I was unaware of that one. Does it say what happens to your "King?" Does he end up alive and happy?

Since you insist on calling me your king, then let's keep it at that for now. King Grotian, or whatever makes you happy.

Fine. I'll help for a few days at least. I'll get some video for you, like Melvin requested. But first you have to tell me who is helping us in Purity Towers. I want a name, and I want that person to be there either tonight or tomorrow.

Can you do this for me?

We have people we can get on the inside to help us with the dirty work. We need you to lead us still. Since you are in charge, what would you have us do? I know of nobody else that can take your place, it truly is up to you My King. Our Grotian history that has been passed down by stories for generations tell us of this time. It was forseen many years ago that this would happen. That with 2 leaders, we will find our freedom. One to envision it and a second to lead us through that vision. It is all foretold, and as you can see, it is also happening just as it was foretold so many generations ago. I'm sorry, I don't don't even know the name of our new King, my Lord. What would you have us call you sire? Tell us what to do, we are working to achieve the goals and tasks given to us from Melvin, but they will soon be done, and we are waiting your guidance.

Believe me when I tell you that I am a coward. This entire thing scares the hell out of me, and I haven't slept since I found out. Melvin was a capable leader, and even he couldn't hold it together. And now I'M in charge???

Look, I can't do this alone. I mean I can't illegally document or infiltrate or whatever you want me to do to Purity Towers -- I can't do it alone. Please tell me you know someone else you can talk into joining this organization. Seriously. I'm afraid.

No. This is such a mistake. I can't possibly be your leader.

I have to think about this.

I'm nobody's hero.

I'm not 100% sure why Melvin sent us to you. He was a great man. A brave man. A mysterious man. But given that we were directed to you, I'd have to say he saw something in you that meant he was confident enough to hand his position of leadership to you. He risked his life for this fight and we're pretty damn determined to make sure that wasn't all for nothing.

You don't want to lead, fine. Don't lead.

But think. Think really hard. If there's anything you can give us, any information, anything at all. It all helps in the long run. If you don't want us here, we won't interfere with your life any longer thaan is necessary. But if Melvin taught us anything, it's to never give up. So you can't blame us for trying.

Quote:

You're right. I'm not a leader.

This is so hard for me. I don't want to let Melvin down.

... but look at what happened to him!!!

You have to understand my point of view. Look. Maybe I can do something for you guys. Just something little, here and there. What do you need? Melvin said something about documenting Purity Towers? That's dangerous. I can try it, but I don't know how much I can get you. What do you want?

If Melvin thinks I should lead, then I think you guys should recruit more people. There's no way any movement will survive with just a few. Don't you have anyone else who can go into Purity Towers? Anyone who could join your organization? Don't put this all on me right now. Come on.

I don't know what to do, okay? You had a great man in charge of you before, and he couldn't handle it without getting himself killed or disappeared or something. How can I possibly do better?

I'm trying not to let anyone down. I'm going to do what I can for you guys because I respect Melvin's last wishes. But don't expect too much. I'm just not Melvin.

I'm sorry. I want to help.

I maintain that the second person is meant to be Melissa.

I don't like the sound of that. At all. Given how reluctant he's been to do anything thus far, thats a pretty decisive action there. I don't think it's a good idea...Theres only one person I can think of who would be at the towers tomorrow anyway. Unless I'm missing something.

I agree it's a change of voice from oh poor me I can't lead and I'll die like Melvin to this...

And here's the latest to me from Living:

Quote:

Good. I'm glad you're putting an application in. But that will take a while. The process for deciding who gets apartments here is a bit lengthy and confusing, to say the least. At the very soonest, it takes several days.

*perplexed*

I think....you underestimate the size of our group. I understand your logic, but...it's not always all about the numbers and quite frankly, I don't think anyone is overly concerned in that regard.

We need a map. Or atleast information with which we can create a map. Just so we're up to date with what we're dealing with. If you can provide us with anything of that nature, we would be very grateful.

There are other people we could recruit I suppose. And we will contact them in due course. Their names...well, perhaps you'll find out at some stage. But not from me. Melvin trusted you, but the some of us have found it necessary to be a little more wary of whom we bestow our trust.

Don't apologise. You obviously didn't ask for this, but you must remember, none of us chose you. Melvin did. We weren't always 100% sure of his motivations, but obviously he was.

Quote:

That makes sense. To tell the truth, I'm a little glad to know you are nervous, too. Fine. But please, if I am your leader, then let me lead you in this: Purity Towers is large, and we will need another person who can go there. Bring that person over to your group. Please tell me you do have someone. I'm going to trust you. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

Also, it's starting to worry me whether President Jameson is watching our group at all. I know we're keeping tabs on him, but is anyone checking into whether he's doing the same on... well, on us?

Still not comfortable with this whole thing. I'm signing on only as a temporary leader for now. Okay?

Quote:

We have someone. His name is Earl. He's coming to Purity Towers tomorrow to make a special delivery. With him will be someone we're not 100% certain we can trust, so you'll have to be careful.

I need to know where he can meet you. And I need some way for him to recognise you so I can communicate this to him. The rest....we're working on. Don't worry about Recon, we've got it all covered. We're keeping as close a tab as possible on the Party and it's members.

Quote:

Good. I don't know him, so tell him I'll be the guy with the camera (remember -- video is not permitted in PT, so I can't stand there forever) on the 12th floor. Can he get all the way up there? When should I look for him? Are you sure we can trust this guy? Is he a Proscript? Is he a part of your group? Don't send me out there with someone who has no idea what's going on.

Okay. As long as Recon is watching the Party closely. I don't want all this to get uncovered and send us all into more trouble than we can handle.

I'll think some more. Let me know what's going on.

Quote:

Right. Earl is good to go. He's making a product delivery of a cleanly nature to the towers tomorrow. He's not worried about making it too the 12th floor, he's quite confident infact. I'm currently trying to determine an exact time for your meeting.

We can definitely trust this guy. He's at the top of his field and has a particularly close relationship to one of our group, so he's been quite happy to join us and help out to the best of his ability. That said however, he knows only the bare essentials, as so most people who are out in the field, so don't go grilling him for information...you'll come back empty handed.

Don't worry. We're doing the best we can.

Quote:

This is good. Thank you for working on that. Make sure he is ready to handle whatever you need him to do, and I will be sure to go light on the questions when I see him. If you can get a time from him, that would be good.

Getting worried about this again.

I've also been communicating with Earl and given that these conversations are about the same event, I'm posting them here aswell:

Quote:

Oh Bertha!

That sounds awful what you told me about. I hate it when regular people get hurt. I'm glad to know you're good hearted enough to try to take care of them. If you think it's a worthy cause then I do too!

Don't you worry your cute blond head about asking me to do stuff for you. I'd do anything for you! You tell me how to join your grotian underground and you send me the posters you want hung. There ain't nothin too dangerous that I wouldn't do for my wife!

I hope to hear back soon!

-Earl

Quote:

Oh Earl! You're so brave! I can't thankyou enough...everyone here is real grateful...I can't say I'm too happy about it, but if you want to do it then I won't stop you. If you asked me to do something like this and it was in my power to do it, then, well, I'd probably do it too. You gotta do what you feel is right I guess, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be careful.

I'm gettin some more things together for you...posters and information and the like. Hopefully I'll be able to send it to you ASAP. I feel funny about all this Earl....I don't want you getting hurt or in trouble or somethin. Though if you do, you can bet that I'll be gettin right on down there to save you! Me and my daddy's shotgun!

Sorry...I get a bit caught up in things sometimes. Sad

Take Care Earl,

I'll get back to you soon...

xo Bertha.

Quote:

Alright Bertha. I put my mind to it and I'm gonna do it. I want to hear more about your underground stuff. I want to meet your friends. I'm going to Purity towers tomorrow and I want to know what I oughta be doing.

And don't worry. I'll be safe. Nothin is going to happen to me.

-Earl

Quote:

Earl, hold tight. I'm talking to someone who we think it'd be a good idea for you to meet tomorrow.

I think he's kinda new to all this, so your experience in adventuring and all that, might be good for him. He's supposed to be a Leader type, cause the other leader went missing.

Attached to this email is a poster from the Underground. They wanna try and spread some within Purity Towers, so it's there for you to take with you. I'll have more info for you very soon!

<3 Bertha.

Quote:

Great. I'll go buy ink for my old printer and print these out. Consider them hung.

-Earl

Quote:

Earl: You need to meet a guy with a camera on the 12th floor. I don't know much more than that. He's all secretive like, you know?
Do you think you can make it all the way up there? Sounds important from the way he was goin on about it.

<3 Bertha.

Quote:

12th floor is no problem. I used to be on my middle school's track team. First place on my Thanksgiving Turkey Trot.

I can keep a secret. Sounds exciting! When do I get to meet your friends?

-Earl

Quote:

Thankyou Earl ^.^

http://gudeputies.ning.com/ Go there. Thats where we all meet up and talk and stuff. I can't wait for you to meet everyone!

What time do you think you'll be able to meet this guy? He's one of those real nervy types....everything has to be real well organised from the start or he starts to panic. (It's a bit silly really) but it is pretty important I guess. You have to be REAL careful. And real secretive, but I think you can handle it...^.^

xo Bertha.
