 		Small bit of additional info on the rose, from http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/r/roses-18.html.

"The roundish fruit is so deep a purple as to appear almost black. The juice of the ripe fruit has been used in the preparation of dye: diluted with water, it dyes silk and muslin of a peach colour and mixed with alum gives a beautiful violet"

 		new email to Alex from Matt
Alex received an email from Matt saying

"You're my Sır & I miss you."

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sır is another name for Frejya, the most powerful of Norse goddesses and consort to Odin.


Any other ideas?

 		Look at the first two flowers related to Freyja here http://tinyurl.com/yh8tslk

Quote:
Cowslip (Primula veris)
Names: Arthritica, Artetyke, Buckles, Cuy, Drelip, Fairy Cup, Frauenchlussel, Herb Peter, Key Flower, Key of Heaven, Lady's Key, Lippe, Paigle, Paralysio, Password, Peggle, Plumrocks.
Household Uses: Cowslip is traditionally used in jam, wine, and pickle. A wash of cowslip water will improve the complexion.
Traditional Magical Uses: Cowslip preserves youth and beauty, discourages visitors when placed beneath the front porch, and can be used as a dowsing sprig to find hidden treasure.
Shamanic Magical Use: Is sacred to Freyja, and can be used to lead you to her hall, Sessrumnir. It is said to be able to open the door to her hall, thus the names "Lady's Key"and "Password".

Primrose (Primula vulgaris)
Names: Butter Rose, English Cowslip, Password
Medicinal Uses: Primrose infusion is a good cough and headache remedy and mild sedative.
Household Uses: Primrose flowers are edible and can be put into salads, made into jam, crystallized, or used in an ancient Roman dessert of rice, almonds, honey, saffron and ground primrose petals. Dried flowers and powdered roots are used in potpourri.
Traditional Magical Uses: Protects the garden from adversity, attracts faeries, attracts love and lust, cures madness, and when sewn into children's pillows, makes them loyal to their parents.
Shamanic Magical Use: Also Freyja's flower; works interchangeably with Cowslip.


Seems like those should be notable....

Yes. Freyja's job was to get frakkers into Valhalla.

She's probably gonna wind up blasting him.

And he probably means for her to do it.

Oh dear. My first thought was that perhaps Sır was the Icelandic name for the Norse goddess of love and that we were being given a hint that Matt was from Iceland, that we should ask Alex if he has any tattoos, and that perhaps he's one of those trying to bring down Rossum from the inside. Then I look up Sır on Wiktionary and find out it's the Icelandic word for a female pig. Laughing It also means "cheese" in Czech. Poor Alex.

Looking a bit further, Wikipedia has this: "Freyja is theorized as appearing under the name of Sır (Syritha), a beautiful woman wanted for marriage by a giant, and she travelled seeking for Óğr (Otharus) who had slain the giant to save her". Alex is wanted for"marriage" by the giant Rossum, so that makes sense. There's also reference to Freyja's nickname being the word for sow to symbolize her fertility aspects. Errr... Alex had sex with Matt, right? Could she be pregnant?

 		Good Morning all!

Alex emailed me last night with an email she wanted me to send to Matt.

Here is the email she sent to me, we now have a full name for Matt.

I removed the full email address for now as I am not sure whether she wants it out there, but if needed I will include it later.


Quote:

Hey, Sally!

I wrote and re-wrote this way too many times. Still don't know if it's
the right thing to do, but here goes. Please let me know if it's too
pathetic. When you have the time, please send it to:
mateo langley

...

Hi, Matt!

Congratulations! You're the single worst guy I ever dated. Like my
nana used to say, you played me like a fiddle. You said you'd protect
me, that you'd be my knight, that we'd get through everything
together, then waited till I was completely vulnerable to take
advantage of me and disappear.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. I want you to stay out of my
life. I want you to never have existed. I'm ashamed of myself for
having fallen in love with you. And yet... and yet, try as I might I
can't make myself hate you.

What did you do to me? Why is it that every time I think of you, all I
feel is stupid trust? I've even been considering that you somehow
staged the videos - everything - just to get me into your clutches.
You shouldn't have bothered. The day I saw you coming towards me in
the park, the moment you smiled, it was as if I'd known you for years.
I *wanted* to be yours. You could've had me with so little effort!
Instead, everything was some complex, mysterious dating ritual that
culminated with me waking up alone, hurt, and scared for my life.

Do you know that Liz is dead? I'm sure you do. I'm sure you've been
working for Rossum all this time. I don't want to be your Syr or your
anything. I don't want to remember your name or waste another thought
on you. You're a monster and I'm too normal and real and pure to ever
have you near me again.

Alex

 		Response from Matt.
Interesting that he does not respond to Alex, only to me.

Dear Sally,
I appreciate the fact that you and others have been present for Alex via Twitter during this difficult for her time. Please inform Alex that she cannot safely stay in Tucson, AZ. If you care for her well-being, you must do everything in your power to convince her to accept Rossum's job offer.
Alex should not remain with Sara Kingsley.

That is interesting... Have you responded back? I would say ask him for a reason why we should believe him. Sara's tried helping Alex from the start. So far, Matt has used her, hurt her and keeps trying to confuse her. I'd guess someone has hacked his e-mail. That would explain why he's only contacted her through texting for now?

Maybe make him confirm his last text message to her or something? Some way for us to know he is the same person texting her?

 		OOC: This is pretty remarkable. On occasion, I forget that it's not actually happening. Internet drama is a frakking WEIRD thing.

I spent the day investigating the rubble site as much as I could. Security was slightly decreased, probably due to the holidays.

Have not heard from Bobby yet. He should have arrived an hour ago. Concerned.

I've noticed that a few folks seem to have gone too far in this direction, IMHO. It makes me sad that they and the PM have chosen to indulge the fantasy to the extent that they are moving communication to private channels, supposedly to keep "Rossum" from finding out what they are talking about. I adore Dollhouse, and would love to see the ratings go up and see it saved. If this ARG is intended to draw attention to DH, then it would seem that talking openly and trying to turn an appropriate hashtag term into a trending topic would be more helpful than secrecy.
