....Just kidding!

Any way - It's working again. Everything's all good.


I was a few pages back because I was at work today, and holy shit, Telos, you scared the hell out of me. I had the page scrolled down so I just barely couldn't see the "just kidding" and I was like OH MY GOD IT'S ALL REAL. Well, not really that full blown, but my heart skipped a beat.

Well, i don't have Gmail, but does it have a chat feature or anything? If we really only have like 48 hours (less now) and Donna is already considering grabbing her stuff and running, do you think we could convince her to sit down and have a quick talk with all of us to see if we can come up with anything for her to do?

Chatting with her know. Finding out how much she knows, and considering how many of the gory details we should tell her. She isn't going to run, simply because Sophie doesn't believe her and doesn't want to leave.

 		You can get google IM as a standalone application, I think.

Also, I think we're down to 30 hours or so.

She's not going to run, I'm trying to convince her to not go off, and to go about her day.

As for the joke - Sorry about that one! Razz

 		Chat with her so far:

Quote:
me: Hi, Donna! We haven't talked before, but I got caught up today on the scary things you've been going through. I'll work with the others to help as much as I can!
Sent at 8:48 PM on Tuesday
adulvize: hey, thanks.
Sent at 8:50 PM on Tuesday
me: I am not sure how a prankster could pose as a future you...that kind of raises alarm bells that it's not a prank.
but I know how you feel about missing work
if you do go to work, please be sure to keep your eyes peeled wide, and have a plan of how to get away if something bad goes down
adulvize: i will. :/ I'm really hoping this is some sort of... something. I don't know what. something not bad.
me: sophie's still in syracuse, right?
we are going to do all we can to keep you two safe. I know this is all really freaky, but you are not alone! hugs
adulvize: thanks.
yeah, she's in syracuse.
i think she's kinda convinced i'm having a nervous breakdown, but i told her not to come back
me: do you have somewhere away from Ithaca that you could go?
adulvize: no. i mean, not anywhere i could get without more money than i've got and at least five days driving
me: maybe you should just kidnap sophie and play it all off as some fun surprise getaway
hmm. yeah, getting away on a tight budget is tough
Sent at 8:58 PM on Tuesday
me: do you drive to work?
adulvize: yeah
Sent at 9:00 PM on Tuesday
me: if we want to play the "everything is normal" charade, maybe you can have your car prepped with some clothes and necessities in case you do have to run. Maybe even a backpack of stuff in case you can't get to your car.
adulvize: ....good point. that's a good point.
i'll do that. take my laptop, too, if only so i can let you guys know if i run
me: yeah, and take your camcorder (& charger), too
adulvize: Yeah.
me: you never know if your future self might have some more messages in store for us, after all
and hey, if you end up crossing the border, come see me in Toronto and you can sleep on my couch
adulvize: i'll keep that in mind.
me: how are you doing?
adulvize: stressed. tired.
me: understandable .
any other mysterious e-mails lately?
adulvize: no. i don't know whether to be thankful or not.
Sent at 9:06 PM on Tuesday
me: I'm just trying to figure out if the message said 2 am today or tomorrow...argh
adulvize: the 17th
i mean, if i've got 30 hours, give or take...
me: ok. so hopefully tomorrow at work would be ok...except that it narrows your time to get away.
but at least you should be able to sleep tonight (once you can get to sleep, of course)
adulvize: i'm seriously considering sleep aid. -_-
me: I think I would be, too


Also, thanks for the welcome...just to clarify, I'm female, heh...

 		K guys, so we need a plan, and fast. The only 2 things we know so far are that TEC, as fancy and high tech and bad ass as they are, can't detect when someone moves. And we've been given mixed messages from the couple who gave us more questions than answers - telling us running wouldn't help, then telling Donna too. Anybody got ANY ideas whatsoever?

 		Think we've convinced Donna to go to work. Shes supposedly taking a sleeping aid now, as the other chat said. (Says herbal to me when she brought it up.) She's just signed off GIM too.

I say brace for an incoming blog/email/video/tweet.

Something's gotta help us here...

Told her that if she feels too nervous during the day she should contact one of us. And if we're left with no clues whatsoever, then we are up the creek without a paddle. Or even a bit of driftwood to use as a makeshift one.

 		It's not much, but for the sake of completion, here's the rest of our chat tonight:

Quote:
me: give Sophie another call tomorrow. perhaps having tonight to think it over will change her mind.
would you like any of us to talk to her?
oh, and is she a Dr. Who fan, too ?
adulvize: no. i think calls from random strangers would NOT be reassuring that her gf's not going nuts.
not really - i'm the sci-fi geek.
me: heh...good point . Aww, ok, I was hoping her having some sci-fi-ness in her would help her be open to odd things.
adulvize: yeah, she's very... "well-grounded"
Sent at 9:16 PM on Tuesday
adulvize: anyway, i'm gonna go do my sleep aid thing.
me: ok, best wishes for a good night.


So I think she's going to go the play-it-normal route for now, but with some supplies on hand in case she needs to run.

Who knows...maybe, now that Sophie has been alerted to her specialness, she'll have a vision or something tonight & agree in the morning to go.

If we can figure out a safe place for her to flee to, even if just a place she can sleep before continuing to flee, that would certainly help.

 		I say watch for a hint around midnight. That's when we always get them.


If we knew what TEC was using, we could find something to counter it.
But. We don't.

If we knew how they track and trace people - we could find something to mask them.
But we don't.

If we knew what the exact issue was with them, what anomaly they cause - we would have something to goo off of.
But we don't.

Who does?
Our mysterious contacts....that refuse to be in contact with us.

The majority of all the hints, nudges, ect, have all come around midnight.
D: D: D:

I don't like it either, I've been trying to get my self on a better sleep schedule ._.

But, think about this : what if we don't save her?
What if this is a tie-in to something else?
Or.
What if she gets captured or what ever, and instead of pairing with Donna, we're with Sophie next?

You may be staying up for nothing Razz

To be fair, for around 4 months I haven't been able to sleep before 3am at the earliest apart from on the odd night. And I hope she doesn't get captured. I promised her we'd save her life before she logged off. AND BY MY HONOUR I WILL FULFILL MY PROMISE! Ahem, chivalry over.

Ahahaha and I'm the one that keeps getting Knight references thrown at him today in the Vanessa Atalanta game. Maybe we should switch places, Mr Chivalry.
