 		Hm, I just got an FB message from Vanessa 3 mins ago? She's on a computer -- not sure yet if it's *her* computer or not. I asked her about the other night when she was gone for hours and was talking to a random guy she just met.

All spelling and grammatical errors are hers. Makes my head hurt sometimes..

I replied
Hi Vanessa,
I'll see what I can do, did you want it in the "7" group? (I forget the rest of the number line)
Yeah, I'm in the UK but not close to London I'm afraid.
Did someone build your computer for you or did you buy it from PC world or something? Has anyone else had access to your computer?
I'll help where I can.
S.

 		About one of the uploaded pictures

"Vanessa contacted my with the two pics, but I'm having trouble getting the more detailed shot of the Manchester Uni data up. 12 MB makes my connection timeout. I'm working on it though."


12 MB picture?

Can anyone say 'hidden winrar file'?

She said she was working on it. Would lead me to believe she resized it or made it a new image and uploaded that one.
I requested the original already.

Edit ::
The original is going to be emailed to me. I'll post it up once I get it.
Hopefully there's something to it, or I'm going to feel stupid @__@

 		As promised.

Edit ::
Unable to open it in Winrar, and if it's camo'd I don't have the password. Tried 'jcc 1999' 'jcc1999' 'JCC 1991' and 'JCC1991', no luck.

Probably is just a huge file with nothing hidden away. Bah.

Edit again ::
Speaking to both V and Vlad.
V is supposedly going to block Vlad on Facebook - asked how to do it. Linked her to a very easy to follow e-how article (since.. nothing against her, but, she doesn't seem to be very computer savvy).

Vlad seems to be like, obsessively curious about how she's doing, were she is, ect. Also, I asked him who V was - the Red Queen or Alice. He asked 'how does a pawn become a queen' and told me that the books (referring to the Alice in wonderland ones, I suppose.) are online and that I should read them.

Edit once again ::
V posted a new picture to the group.

NEEDS MOAR EDITZZZ :
V posted MORE pics to the group.

Edit...again. :

V seems to be having a problem/raging. :

Oh, that makes sense. That is kinda cool.

I still haven't spoken at all to Vlad. Claire contacts me if she needs something. Vanessa contacts me just to talk, I think. I try to help her with computer stuff and try to get her to not do stupid stuff, lol.

 		The Green Line runs right through the Observatory she mentions as being 'up the hill' from her home.

I haven't updated this in a while today, but, V has pretty much snapped and ran off, saying her uncle can 'Sod off' and 'He can die' as well as mentioning in her fit that she doesn't care if Vlad gets a hold of the images.

I've been feeding Vlad little bits of edited information, just enough to keep him 'trusting' me. After I mentioned to him that she had ragefited and ran off - he told me "FIND HER!" and went offline.

Talked to Claire - she gave me the contents of the letter in type, (since I can't read cursive for shit. Never learned in school.) and I can see why she ran off.
My guesses are that she's either 1. on her 'date', 2. bumming around the 'Green Line', or 3. Off to do something involving her Uncle - something bad, whether physical, or verbally.

Here's the letter :
Quote:
Claire Hoskyns December 16 at 4:10pm
fuck.

letter - as much as i can read. No wonder she's pissed

December 16th 1999

My dearest Vanessa,
I write this to you as you go to sleep crying. Your mother's body has just retur???air Alb???'s shores and you are at a loss. As your last relative I feel compelled to protect you, treat you as my own. Why am I writing this? I feel obliged to put down on paper the sense of frustration that we both feel, the anger and the confusion with what Annabell (?) did.
There is only one man w??????????????? ppened in Oregon and he has not come back to England. Nor, do I fear, he ever will.
This missive will probably never be read by you as I never intend on giving it. But should, for ????? reason you do, know this.
It would never be by her own hand.

Your ever loving,
Uncle Johan


The man in Oregon - I think that's I.S. Atalanta, from the Genes Reunited tree.

Sounds like her mother was murdered, and didn't commit suicide with the "It would never be by her own hand." part.

Claire told me to help find her, too. But, I'm stuck to the States as you all know, so, I'm not much physical help - which I explained to her, but, she was offline already.

Edit :: While talking earlier, V wanted to know how to block people on Facebook. I showed her a link to. She messages Vlad, says he's blocked.

She asked how to make a group private - told her how to, the 'key' group is now closed to the public.

She's calling me her friendly computer geek, after that and explaining the binary in her blog to her.

Twisted Evil I explained it to her, too!

So, she's gone? I know she said she was going to go on a date with John. It's also amusing how Claire and Vanessa assume everyone is in the UK. They've both asked me to come help (V with her scanner and C to find V).

Oh, more fill in the blanks. "There is only one man who knows what happened in Oregon"?

I haven't been on FB much the past couple of days. It's been slow and weird for me. I still need to save all the scans and actually look at them.

 		It's not really a fill in the blank. Claire just couldn't read it.
You can find the original letter on the group, but, I have a darkened version that's a bit easier to read.



I think the darker-red/bleeding/smudged words have some key importance - like a hidden message - but I'm not sure, as my dumb ass can't read cursive.

 		I'll work on it.

There are also 2 pieces of a map that Vanessa said she can't figure out how they go together. I'm working in GIMP and have them in the same document, but I can't figure out how to move them around so they connect properly.

I'll get on that. It's easy with layers :3
