I have to leave to go to work soon, but Vanessa just posted a wall message and 11 more comments to it. It's all in binary and I don't have time to translate it.

Edit:

Nvm. I got it. I thought it was all different codes in teh comments, but they all look the same (unless my eyes are crossing looking at them, lol).

Quote:
Tempus Frangit


time flies

Edit 2:
Oh my, some of them are different. /facepalm

She also posted a new profile pic of a butterfly.

Crescent -- no idea. That's just what wiki told me Wink Only hit I got was from a comic book that used the phrase...


Not just a comic book... The Sandman Wink

Oh, and tempus frangit means time breaks, not time flies. I think it's a joke.

EDIT: V has just tweeted " 0" and "0000"

 		According to the wiki page about the sandman, Tempus Frangit means Time Breaks not Time Flies. Time Flies is Tempus Fugit...

EDIT: Ok so while on facebook I noticed that Vlad came back online. I tried to talk to him but my FB chat wasn't working very well however, apparently one message got through because I said to him: Time Breaks. Does that mean anything to you? But getting no reply I assumed it didn't go through. Then I got an FB message from him titled 'Breaking' and it said: "Only as it sounds. Have you searched it." I had searched it and found the page on the Delirium character from the sandman comic. Now at first I didn't pay it much attention but after his comment I read through it and I think the PM is likening Vanessa to this Delirium character.

Oh and if it's already been brought up then sorry but if not here you go... When looking up Vladimir Nabokov just out of boredom I found that he wrote a book called 'The Real Life of Sebastian Knight' and on the wikipedia page for the book under the heading themes, it actually said: "Through biographical research, V comes to trace, understand and repeat the "moves" (in the chess sense) made by his sibling. As an academic project transformed into what Charles Kinbote would call "the monstrous semblance of a novel," Sebastian Knight operates as a kind of trial run of the author's later novel Pale Fire." I just thought it was cool that it mentioned chess again haha

 		A chat with Vladimir:

Quote:
Vladimir
Welcome Lay at a time most needed

Lady*

Find whatever Vanessa is posting and share with everyone else - her mind holds clues to what she is feeling.
Talk to people. Johan is soon to go and I am unsure how long I can preserve her mind alone

6:36pmJane
good lord she is unhinged.

6:38pmVladimir
Yes.

I am doing my best but...

She is on her own, I don't know where - people mention she was in a cave - it was cold while we were there and there were 3 of us and a fire - she is on her own and, well, let's jus tsay she's no GI Joe.

6:41pmJane
No, she's not even a GI Jane....
How can we get her out?

6:52pmVladimir
I can't contact her. She is only able to project out. And right now, she is projecting all her thoughts it seems - it is not just myself, J and JPW who are trained in this - but the whole of the Ministry as well... If they realise they ahve another rogue...



And then followed by a little smthng from JPW:
Quote:
Jean Pierre

Should you be able to get to the UK for this [and it will be spectacular], fin the caves up by Wolverhampton - that is where she will be my darling Jane.


Wolverhampton seems be in this exotic, hard-to-get-to place called (drumroll) The Midlands.... Smile

where apparently there are ancient caves....

EDIT: Wolverhampton center city caves: http://asp.wlv.ac.uk/Level4.asp?UserType=11&Level4=3068

EDIT: Oh, and to explain further The Sandman reference. Delirium (one of the puissant allegorical characters) resides in a realm of chaos and uh... delirium. In the middle of her realm is a broken sundial with the words Tempus Fragit carved on it. In the mythology, Delirium was once Delight, but something happened (ie, ppl lost their innocence, things in the world turned, etc.) that made her eyes askew (one blue one green) and made her Delirium.

 		There's also these caves nearby: http://www.dudley.gov.uk/environment--planning/countryside/nature-reserves/wrens-nest-national-nature-reserve

I think the ones in Wolves are concreted up.

 		JPW posted this on my wall

Quote:
52.538376,-2.402853; 123...


Which leads to this place

Anyone in the neighborhood of.... West Bromwich? Bridgnorth? (I'm sorry. I picked the one place-name I actually recognized first, rather than the closest place).

Edit: Oh wow, the Seven Sisters cavern sounds really really cool. But the distance between wrens nest and this gps point is about 15 miles. :/

Edit: I'm sorry but I have to share this: why I know about "West Bromwich"

 		Interesting article on the Caves and Hermitages at Bridgnorth . This pic shows better how accessible some are.

oO...one outcrop of rock is called the Queen's Parlour. And following Vlad on FB...G'Nite

 		Sorry for blubbing the Latin earlier. I'll...blame it on rushing to work.

Dreamer -- on your FB you mentioned Madeline L'Engle and I mentioned that A Wrinkle in Time was one of my favorite books as a child. It's interesting since the book is about being able to sort of bend the space time continuum.

 		Hey Bleue????

With that reply to the 111 message from Vanessa you wrote the lullaby: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little, Star. Perhaps that is the lullabye Vlad needs to get to sleep... I'm going to post it to him just to see if I get a reaction.

EDIT: Better yet, I sent him the parody of twinkle, twinkle sung by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carol's Alice In Wonderland, since it has been referenced quite a bit throughout the game.

 		So I'm a bit caught up.

Oh. I got a response to my email about Alan, to Vlad. at like 2pm.. didn't catch it til now.
Quote:
He lies.
Ignore him.


Send a quarter of a page, and get four words back? Bah.

I was thinking - trout me if I'm stating already discussed points - that the lemniscate is linked to the butterfly-effect? If not in theory, at least in it's similar appearance to a butterfly.

I think this whole bit ties in to the time travel (or at least the sending of messages back in time.) as a slight change to the past could offset the original course, causing in a drastically different outcome as the original unaltered path would have.

As I was writing this, I looked at the page for the Butterfly Effect on wikipedia. It's funny, it can be graphed as a Lorenz Attractor, which looks like the lemniscate.

 		Who lies? Alan? [Edit: Oh, I get it...JPW is lying about the ministry being broken up, no longer working for them, implying that Vlad is a bad guy, etc.]

I am bothered by the whole sinople thing. It seems to keep cropping up relating to Vlad vs. JPW / the two of them keep bringing it up.

They have both posted that pic at some point that Vlad captioned "Bluebird of friendliness like guardian angels its always near"...JPW captioned it "Time flies but not in Latin."

JPW tagged me in a status, thanking me for commenting on Vlad's pics since that let him see them; I replied that it works both ways (i.e., my commenting on JPW's pics lets Vlad see them), and he replied, "Like a looking glass..."

Vlad recently said:
Quote:
When one walks the journey, coincidence and consilience occur. When 4 are on the journey 2 becomes 8.
I worry for 'she with the burden', but every game has a sacrifice - unfortunately, the price of winning is almost the same as losing.


JPW recently said:
Quote:
Coincidence and consilience occur when one walks the journey. 8 is shared four 2 She who is burdened worries, but every sacrifice has a game - fortunately, the price of losing is almost the same as winning. Who is right?


JPW has a wall photo of The Hermit in front of a background that seems part cyan, part orange...are those meant to be some semblance of sinople colours? Caption: "I rest now. I have said all I can. It is up to all to reflect on what has been said, before the wheels are set in motion and the sword to fall."

I don't know how to best express this, but I just hope Vlad and JPW are not two sides of the same coin--both bad for V. Vlad really does seem like the good guy, though, so I am hoping that really is the case and the sinople thing is just them being foils/mirrors of each other.

Besides, statements like JPW's latest status ("Now, to 'help' my 'daughter'...") make me hate him.

 		Maybe the sinople thing being tied to JPW and Vlad mean that they're both two different colors, but working for the same goal, and we just can't see it?

Or. JPW called himself the Jade King at one point, while I've been referred to as the Red King various times.

Ugh, I still haven't friended him.

Anyway, V posted some more binary which comes to:

safe?

Questioning if it's safe for her? IDK maybe to come out of the cave or something?

Gonna comment back asking if she's safe in binary. Maybe that's how we need to talk to her now?

 		V's profile pic has her wings folded which some butterflies can do to camouflage themselves from predators.

Based on what Vlad told me, that's how she's 'projecting' in the manner both he and JPW can do. Keeping it simple and closer to the way the brain 'naturally' thinks, and thus using binary. I figure any time she's posting in binary, she's 'projecting'. The message before with the numbers and words jammed together, I think was one of her less successful attempts, which is why Vlad switched her to binary.
