 		More Joachim correspondence!

I said (fishing for an image of the pendant he mentions in his blog):
Smile You mentioned a butterfly in your blog I thought you might like another one. Though I've no idea if its anything like your pendant.

As to the answers I'm looking for... I guess I want to know who's in control. Fate? The government? Where do I fit in this world?
I feel like such a querent, looking for answers but finding none.
I think I'd like to join Merveilleux, they seem to have been so good to you.
But I know so little about them. who are they? Are they international? What do they do?


And he replied:

We are international. We just want to help everyone be better people.

Who's in control is a good question. I'd like to know, too. Maybe as we move up, we'll find out.



I'm starting to think Joachim and the querent are on different sides of this thing.... and I may have just taken Joachim's side. Shocked

Those Tarot 'clues' of the hangman seem to suggest a cocoon - suspended etc...

Monarch butterfly cocoons become transparent before they hatch. transparent like glass...such as joachim pointed to in the blog.

I think the pin reference on the blog, refers to the end of the transformation process.

There is another vid on YouTube - intricate picture, beautiful music, and questions....

I'm Lynneth1310 on youtube, and sent a mail to The Querent. I chose option 2, gave some of my thoughts, like some of you lot were requested to do...and am trying to get more clues about the mirror. Will post if I get anything.


I just received the mirror email. I figured I'd come out of the woodwork for a bit (I was taking a break from ARGs, life was crazy for awhile).

Could the suspended and death symbols refer to suspended animation/cryogenics? Or someone's a Tom Cruise fan (pre-Katie) i.e. the masks and cryo = Vanilla Sky and masks again = Eyes Wide Shut.

I'd look at my tarot cards but I sadly am helping the 'rents reno their place so they're packed away.

Oh and their are 21 Trump cards aka Major Arcana in a Tarot deck.

Death, The Hanged Man, and The Chariot. So we have three so far.

EDIT: Justice is also in the Major Arcana. She's a) blind and b) hold scales

 		If he's not talking about tarot cards, Joachim and Jim would be two of the five, I assume.

Mind if I ask where those names are from? Does he have a blog or something?

 		Five Guests , Jim and Conspiracy Theories
INFO/E-mail/long post alert!

You assume correctly! I have received e-mail correspondance from Joachim that he is going to a party, as Jims guest.

Jim is trying to 'help' Joachim not have thoughts on conspiracy theories anymore. Just in case Joachim does have any 'unhelpful' thoughts on conspiracy theories I've offered Joachim some help as well - an outlet to discuss these, or any other theories he happens to have. He still believes in them, but tries not to....watch this space!

So that begs the question of whether The Querent has asked 5 invited guests, such as Jim to bring a guest, such as Joachim or whether The Querent has factored in all the guests and therefore both are both counted?

Something to think about...ALSO I'm not sure whether Jim might be The Querent?? I say this because in the blog post, Joachim said that everyone wore masks, other than Jim - I think Jim is a leader of somekind, rather than just a recruiter for the Mercellieux? If this is correct, then Jim wouldn't be classed as a guest...

If I'm way off target (swimming around in my self-made trouting pond) someone put me out of my misery...I've asked The Querent if he goes by the name of Jim...and now I'm worried that I might have landed Joachim in trouble.

Well the Querent seem to be watching Merveilleux, not any individual. I contacted them about the interest they seem to have in Joachim, and was corrected on that assumption.

Quote:
Joachim is of passing interest. We're more interested in the shroud-covered group from which he hails.


So I'm guessing again here that the "shroud-covered group" is Merveilleux, if that gets us anywhere.

Regarding the "Join them" image, I also asked if joining the Querent was at all possible, and was told

Quote:
We're not accepting members. We're sort of a family business.


Doesn't get us anywhere, really, but some insight into the Querent itself might be good.

 		While deciding how best to answer The Querent's question, emailed him re his identity and his questions.
The Querent wrote:
We are fate. We ask, because we are interested in your philosophies. Will you not answer? Answering may very well reveal your soul.


Suspect that The Querent (pl.)who are now observing Merveilleux have a deeper agenda & that Jim is just a rank and file member.

 		Since I got the mirror question and pic, I sent back "Then the future is broken as well" (because of that superstition someone posted a page or two back). I also asked why they asked "What happens when the mirror breaks?"

I got this in return:

 		Totally interested in this -- turned on by a friend. Sending off something that will hopefully yield something useful.
