 		Cool Jacko0. Was just about to post the base64 file name yet hadn't made the "pronounce" connex. Think you are spot on!

 		seer accuse???

Lots of anagrams, but most interesting are Ace(s) Rescue(s)/Secure(s). Also Case Secure/rescue. Cease Curse/Cures.

Or am I totally missing something obvious, like usual? I assume the actual mp3 is just noise, right?

Good work, all. [/cheerlead]

me: Oh I know all about that. I'm an avid roleplayer - the internet helps me create those little worlds for my self and others that we wouldn't be able to escape to otherwise.
Donna: oh fun! i've never RPd, did a bit of fanfiction now and again, mostly just poked around fandom for the meta, though
Sent at 5:25 PM on Sunday
me: Ah. Well, RPing is pretty fun, if you get a good group together. I normally avoid fanfiction stuff, and keep it all original characters - even in an unoriginal world. Like Warcraft RP for instance - I'm never a cannon character, always something original.
I do some fiction writing from time to time and can never finish anything. I find RPing lets me use that pent up creativity and see a story through to the end, with help from others. Like a collaborative story Smile
Donna: that's cool. Smile


Based on her quote, I'd guess she was writing Dr. Who fanfic. If Livejournal is any indication, fanfic can bring out serious drama sometimes. I've never watched the show and feel like the only person on Earth who has never seen it. My base knowledge is that it's about time travel or something?

Edit: I'm chatting with her now on gmail. She says it wasn't any specific fandom, but she's a huge Dr Who fan.


Wow I feel dumb. Anyone into to Dr Who.

Donna was one of the Doctor's Companions. I'm checking about the necklace. Nope...no necklace.

The 'windershin' probably means to reverse the video. Maybe in 1/4 time.

 		I think the translation of the blog tag "c2VlciBhY2N1c2U=", which comes out as "seer accuse" is "Syracuse".

Which fits the same style of solve as her user name, matches up with the binary "it's all in how you pronounce it" and is about 60 miles from Ithaca, where Donna lives.

So, how does Syracuse fit in. Is TEC in there? Is there where Sophie is staying while sick?

Edit: I just sent her an email asking her if Syracuse means anything to her. I will post what/if she replies.

 		Donna's Twitter updated 14 mins ago:

Quote:
LISTEN


Edit: Edelweiss -
Quote:
The Edelweiss flower has since time immemorial been valued as medicine against the ailments of men and their beasts, as powerful Talisman to ward off evil and of course as the "Ultimate Love Charms" of the mountains.

Love struck young men would try to endear themselves by collecting Edelweiss from those hard to access crags and ledges in the High Alpine of Europe.
During these quests many died from falls, or succumbed to exposure, insufficiently prepared for sudden weather changes.

That seems like a REALLY good interpretation! I'm wondering where this all brings us.

 		I reversed the mp3 and sped it up. There's a female speaking. It's very quiet. I'll keep trying.

Edit: Sped it up then slowed it down. I haven't had my coffee yet. Embarassed There's definitely a female voice saying something. Still not sure what.

 		This Listen bit on her twitter is telling us that we are missing something in the audio of the videos. I just listened to the audio in the test2 video and I can't make out what Donna is saying.

Also, since we are on the subject of Dr. Who, and "Sometimes it skips steps.", combined with Donna showing up in the test2 video, leads me to believe that this is Future Donna that is showing up and dropping hints to us to warn Past Donna.

I am also running toying with the theory that Future Donna is the one posting the hints and sending emails to prevent the events of the future from happening; ala Bill and Ted. Who else would know the passwords to her blog, twitter and email accounts? Also, if it is Future Donna that sent ou the original Hedgehog poem, it makes sense as Past/Current Donna claimed to know that poem and the author. Perhaps FD cannot directly communicate with PD in the event of a space/time continuum conflict, thus we are called in to help?

FD looks to be in trouble and possibly on the run. She is being very cryptic and from the two spots in the video, she appears to be hiding and speaking in hushed tones. Perhaps she is being observed, or in the presence of someone or something that would not be too happy with her communicating with the past?

Yeah I didn't get anything either. There is too much noise to filter out what she is saying. I went back to the youtube video to see if watching her lips would help, but I am still drawing a blank.

I'm all for this. It makes total sense in my opinion.

Edit :: I'm going to take a crack at the audio. See if I can get anything. Just woke up (it's 8:50am where I'm at.) and it seems you guys have been doing a ton already .-.

The flower connection. Someone already stated the bit about young men risking their lives to get the flower for their lovers.. What if it's a hint at what she's doing (The sending messages to the past.) is her risking her life to save her love?

Sent her an email too :
Quote:
Had a friend of my mom's check out those flowers. He says it looks like, Leontopodium alpinum, which is known as the Edelweiss Flower.. It's funny I never caught it, but your name does sound sorta like Edelweiss.. Connection to anything? The flowers, by the way (I looked them up on wikipedia after talking to my mom's friend.), are something of a symbol of undying love. Young men would risk their lives climbing mountains and trying to pull these flowers out of crags for their loves. I'm thinking - if something is warning you - these flowers are showing they love you. We discussed time travel in a prior conversation - with how clips of your face would appear in a video when you never filmed them - well. It's starting to appear that it may have been you - from the future - warning your self.

I pretty much just woke up, so it could all be psychotic babble. But, I'll keep you posted on the updates. Still nothing from the previous audio from the vidoe, though. But, your blog has posted another post.. The title was base64. Converted to binary, then to ascii text - it becomes seer accuse. The audio file from that post had a comment in it's properties - which when converted from binary to text says "it's all in how you pronounce it."... SeerAccuse - Syracuse? You live in NY, right? Syracuse is in NY too.. does it have any meaning to you?

Could be wrong about all of it. But, nothing else makes sense.

Not...like this does, but still.

Any way, any word on Sophie? I know you're supposed to pick her up today, just making sure things are all good Smile


As for the time travel thing I mentioned us talking about :
Post leading up to below -
Quote:
Donna: right. anyway. you found something?
me: Well, sort of.
9:18 PM in your recent video, it seems that between the static and Dr. Who clip, there's more of those 'face shots'., If you listen to the audio, the person (who I now assume is Sophie) is saying something.. I can't quite make it out, but, I'm trying to clean it up with Audacity.


Quote:

In the road trip video, there's a shot of the face too. I've taken the three clips of the face and put them together in one video. I'm also trying to clean up their audio.
The vocals with the road trip video seem to be reversed..
Donna: it's not Sophie. Sophie's the one with the glasses and curly hair in the road trip vid.
9:20 PM me: So, it's you?
Or someone you know?
Donna: it looks kinda like me, I guess, I just...i don't know where it's FROM
me: Hm..
Well.
9:21 PM From what I can gather (in the 15 mins of looking around.) Dr. Who is about time travel? (you should know - with the quote in your status.). That would make the quote on your blog make sense - about time skipping steps.
9:22 PM Donna: ...yeah, I guess it does. DW's about time travel, yeah
9:25 PM me: So, if you don't know where it came from, that leads me to think it's not happened yet.
Donna: time travel isn't REAL though
9:26 PM me: Well.
There's actually quite a few studies going on proving that to an extent it is. But more to the point - I agree but, unless you have another theory, I'm opting to think that's the case.
9:27 PM May sound far fetched, but doesn't hidden messages coming in normal videos, cryptic messages in blog postings you didn't post, and strange emails sending from your email with anagrams warning of something coming
9:30 PM Donna: yeah, that's a good point.
i just don't know what to think anymore
9:31 PM me: Neither do I. I'm usually one for science and not paranormal craziness.. but this is just strange.


Edited a few times for quick copy/paste errors. Doh!))

 		I'm really liking this Future Donna idea and about her trying to save Sophie. In one of our gmail conversations yesterday, I asked how long she and Sophie have been together. She said 5 years, which is a pretty decent amount of time to be in a relationship.

The only question is -why sophie- Why is she being targeted by this TEC thing? (we ever pin it down to The Empty Child, or still thinking on that?)
