 		From what I know and from what Zack told me at the last meet up/chat room thing, I believe that Adrian is most likely the leader of this order.

 		Just got out of the chat. Here's what we learned:

Reiko is part of Adrian's cult, the Order (due to the fact she called Adrian god), assuming she's the Queen of Wonderland as proposed by the song maybe she is high ranking. Also, it says the 3rd Alice sent the invitation to the 4th. I'm assuming this is the package, which I'm assuming is Gavin's stuff since Zack doesn't recognize any of it.


This is the correct order of the poem, confirmed by Zack. It was posted on the night Emilyn died.
21:54 Zack come with me, your life is done
21:54 Zack forget the futre, forget the past
21:54 Zack life is over
21:54 Zack breathe your last

Emilyn is dead. Was found walking with minor cuts and bruises through Aokigahara according to Reiko, but remember Reiko is a part of Adrian's cult so this might not be true. She was found drowned, Zack had nothing to do with it and is blaming Adrian.

This is the correct order of the poem, confirmed by Zack. It was posted on the night Emilyn died.

21:54 Zack come with me, your life is done
21:54 Zack forget the futre, forget the past
21:54 Zack life is over
21:54 Zack breathe your last


21:39 th3nr3 Who first told you about Adrian?
21:40 Zack Adrian himself
21:40 th3nr3 I see
21:40 th3nr3 What did he tell you?
21:40 Zack That he didn't want to be forgotten.
21:40 Zack he wanted to be God
Adrian is confirmed as the dream. Zack says Adrian somehow got his number and called him and then told him about him.

The crazy text on the blog is the verse from Alice Human Sacrifice talking about the 4th Alice.

That's about it. I'm trying to get in touch with David, and made sure that Zack was going to keep in touch.

 		Thank you so much Therne! It reached 3am in my part of the world and I closed my eyes for a moment and fell asleep Embarassed

But yeah, I'll send Reiko some more emails and hope to get some hopefully decent responses.

But speaking of Adrian I received two more emails off him.

Quote:

Ah, yes. This is the part where I laugh evilly and begin to tear down your esteem in hopes of winning you to my side? I see you have read all the proper fiction.

As a matter of fact, I have done nothing with Zachary. He has proven himself. I do not thrive on people with lack of self-interest, but upon those with lack of self. I do not control men and women; I simply show them their true selves and strength. Sometimes, there is not enough to form a life worth living.

Which when compared to the grid on the blog states

Welcome down the rabbit hole


So Zack should be okish as Adrian doesn't seem that interested in him anymore. Sent an email regarding Alices and I'll post the response when I get it.

 		Just some emails I sent out. I'll edit in the responses when I get them.

By the way, Neon, you should edit your first post to include all of the email addresses we have so far as well as a short summary of the story line. I can pm you what I think should be there if you want. I just think that it's tedious to search through all of the posts for email addresses, information (I had to read the thread 2 or 3 times in my conversation with Zack), etc and since there has been mention of tumbling down the rabbit hole it means things are getting under way and it would be nice to get that started as I'm sure it will be a necessity soon.

Email to Reiko:

Quote:
Hi

I'm friends with Zack, and last night he said he would be heading out either right away or sometime today. I haven't heard from him and I just want to make sure he made it out ok.

Thank You


Responses from Reiko:

Quote:
I don't know. He was gone when I got home. He never told me where he was going, or even that he was leaving.

Reiko


Email to Adrian:

Quote:
I'm not one to immediately choose sides without knowing the whole story. All we know is what Zack told us. For all we know he killed Emilyn. I want to know what happened from your perspective, as you seem to be the rabbit that has dug this hole we're tumbling down.

Care to share?


Responses from Adrian:

Quote:
Might I ask why you chose to tell me this? Are you hoping to become the next Alice, or do you simply enjoy spamming mailboxes?

^i don't know what to make of this, I ran it through an anagram and feel like I'm missing something. Maybe it's encripted.

I also sent a facebook message to Zack requesting David's email. I didn't put two and two together that Zack had emailed him before. I should have asked him in the chat, I'm sorry I wasn't better prepared.

Zack messaged me David's email. It's lietdavidSPLATaol.com please add this to the emails at the front. I'm going to email him later tonight, I'm busy right now. I'll put it in a new message.

I just want to find out as much information as possible at this point. We're flying with blinders on right now.

I've been doing this for a while, even if most of my posts have been on other forums.

Was wondering if anybody noticed that the first poster was "Zack" from Minneapolis who has made a total of 1 post. That one. The GMs are watching.

Rolling Eyes

First post (only post), name zack, location minneapolis. That's meta and doesn't affect the game, it's just good to know that our progress is being tracked and that if we are stuck or the game doesn't seem to be going anywhere and we're complaining that someone is paying attention. You don't have to defend yourself and it doesn't matter, even if you aren't I'm sure they are watching.

Edit: I updated my post up on this page with the responses I got. Please take a look at it.

 		I ran a search for Apollyon and apparantly it's the Greek translation of Abaddon which means "a place of destruction".
Here's a link to the wikipedia page

 		Embarassed Of course, I didn't even run a google search for it first. DOH.

He's either talking about Aokigahara (Wonderland) or himself.

Apollyon is also the name of the fallen angel of death.

 		from FB, seems zack got a note from someone calling themselves naomi watanabe. (an actress in japan)
Quote:
Zack Arima I doubt it's that same person. The note says: "Here, I am queen. She who claims my throne is but a dream who seeks a form of immortality." I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

I have no "real" name. Adrian is the name of a man the Order has play my part to lure the Alices here, the man who shares the use of this e-mail address. I suppose, if you are working with Neon_Raine, that you have seen the messages to her. Those were written by him, not by me. I cannot control his hand at all times. The man is mad, as is the woman he obeys.

Adrian.

I never said I was western or followed any western ideas of religion. I have lived in Japan, spent a great deal of time there, and am very familiar with shinto. So, we speak with a kami then? I would assume that you are the kami associated with Aokigahara, in which case you would barely need a cult to offer you nourishment, although I am sure that as humans they need you far more than you need them.

I will pass on that you are kami and that you as a spirit can not be blamed for any deaths, other than the deaths of people that get lost in your woods and are never to be found again but that would be your aramitama and your nature as a kami.

This would not be the first time a cult has expanded a deity's desires to something grotesque, fanatical, and continent spanning. I assume that there is a member of the Order communing this with you. I ask this member of the order for the reason of the choosing of the Alices. Did they do something to offend?

Adrian obviously isn't your name, it must have been something designed to comfort Eastern acquaintances. Adrian, is there something else I should be calling you?

I appreciate the open discussion, and I thank you and am humbled that you would choose to speak on even terms with me.

I do appreciate your diplomacy.

I do not choose the Alices. The Order does. I did not ask for a petty cult. I simply play along with their wishes because it is convenient for me. They supply nourishment for me, as well as this means for communication. I give their empty lives the imitation of meaning and purpose they seek. For the most part, it is not in the nature of the kami to be purely good or evil. We are far more human than your western ideal of gods.

I'm an...associate of someone you've been in contact with. She shared her emails with the group. Whether or not I become the next Alice does not concern me, although I would appreciate it if that were not the case. I simply want more information. Why? Why them? If I understood your cause I wouldn't stand against it. I'm not going to send you some snarky reply like some people without extending the hand of diplomacy first.

Adrian is a Kami, I'm assuming the Kami of Aokigahara forest. He's communicating through Adrian, who obeys some woman.

OR Adrian is batshit insane and just thinks that at times he is possessed by a kami.

Either way, Adrian the kami could care less about the Alices, and any negative things coming from him are either a result of his ara-mitama (read: assertive side, every kami has a benign side and a mean as shit side) or of Adrian's insanity. I'm going to send Zack a message with this information.

Apollyon (Abbadon) was also, according to christians, a "good" entity. However it should be safe to assume this is not the case here, as nobody is referring to a holy creature as far as I can tell(UNholy yes, but if it's a kami it's really neither).
