Well, her name is Jessalyn. Linnie isn't that much of a stretch.


You have no idea how happy I'll be if I'm right.

A "William" wrote to a "Linnie," right? That's what smacked me in the face last night. If they didn't adopt her, they certainly knew her.

Right. But that also begs the question of the date of those letters...and when William actually died.(if?)


This could just be a case(another) of HABIT manipulating us to some end, since he apparently is holding all the cards.

I'm still thinking about ways to test or stretch the limits of our interactivity.

So far everyone in the trials is playing into HABIT's hands, being led around by the nose. Is there any way to change that without breaking the game? Or any way to change the way we investigate and communicate with the characters?

Realistically I don't think so. I think our sphere of effect is very limited and almost "turn based," if you will, based on what EMH parcels out to us per video or message, like yesterday. But I've had far too much cheap wine this evening so I can't help but think of any way to test our ability.

Any thoughts?

Yeah. It's certainly turn-based to an extent, but I think things are timed out as well.

Case in point, Busting Steph out.

The email Rhiannon sent to Jeff about the footage on (whaterver morse video it was) was to simply let the guys know that we actually are privy to information that we can't know. I don't think it Steph was mentioned even once.

It was Jeff who made the logic leap to bust Steph out.

That just makes me think they were just looking for an excuse to advance the game

As far as forcing HABIT's hand, I think we need to trap him in a similar logic trap. I'm a little clueless how to go about this though. My best bet is to continue to press him about himself. I think the easiest route is to address his mode of transportation. Be it conventional or spiritual. And maybe his relationship to the Rake.

Maybe ask about Ryan? (digressing: Ryan mentioned he had a bunch of emails and stuff he was going to show to the guys right before he was "rake'd". I assume this was the reason for his disposal, but I wonder if it's possible to get our(the guys) handson this. I mentioned it to Jeff before, but he didn't feel it was appropiate at the time)

No, I totally think he was too. Their breaking out Steph was almost certainly inevitable. But the question that sticks with me is, how would it have happened if not for Rhiannon asking the exact right question about his visit to Mrs. Corenthal, which according to IG Jeff's POV at the time we couldn't know about? Would anything have been different? And for that matter, would anything have changed with Alex if people hadn't been all over them about the videos on his account?

I agree, but first he has to talk to one of us. Any number of us have tried to engage him recently, nothing doing.

That's a good idea...

Also. Am I wrong, or did Jessa go away on a "trip" just before disappearing? Did we not see footage at one point of her saying goodbye to Jeff? I think from Ashen Waste? What was the trip?

I think it was the last hidden video -- it was soundless, and someone read Jessa's lips as saying "I'll be back soon" or something like that.

Maybe we should find out why she left.

Good idea! But I was wrong -- the clip is in Centralia, not .... . Someone should ask if they can see the clip of Jessa and Jeff being together.

I just emailed Jeff about Ryan again. We'll see how that goes.


About Jessa. I think there's a handful of things about her disappearance that we don't know yet.

I think there is a lot of speculation on the everyone's hand of what was going on when she first disappeared. I don't know if anyone IG has told us what had happened. It was just a lot of "Jeff's girlfriend broke up with him because she doesn't answer when he calls" and "She was supposed to be in class" I think we're supposed to belive that the edited in footage of Jeff and Jessa from Centralia is supposed to indicate that this was the last time they were together, but who knows. I'm too busy to bust out the "Jessa Disappearance" timeline. TLDR: I guess Jeff is the only who knows if Jessa was supposed to take a trip or not.

As far as the game play stuff. It's a question that I've wanted to ask OOG Jeff, but I've avoided because it's not a fair question to ask while the game is going on . I think it's best we operate under the assumption that we move the game along with our actions.

Exactly.

I'll be damned if I'm going to ask IG Jeff about the circumstances of Jessa's departure. I don't know him like that. But we do need to know the circumstances, I think. Jessa's voicemail to Steph indicates Steph had been talking to her about SM. Shortly before that she (apparently) tells Jeff she's gotta go but will be back. Why does she leave? For what purpose? Does Steph know? Or are we bullshitting here?

As far as I know, Jessa was already missing by the night they found out Jeff had left. I do not think they mentioned her going on a trip before that, but the silent scene in Centralia did seem to imply that she knew she wasn't going to see him... for a while. (I'll have to check on that, I don't remember exactly what we agreed on being said, but that's the gist of it.)

Damn you.

-Jessa and Steph met and 'connected' on 7/31. We don't know the nature of this meeting. Did art school start on the 31st? I'm led to belive it started earlier, since Jessa was doing art homework in one of Livestreams.

-The last known contact we have between Jessa and Steph is on 8/7, which is a video on CYSTW.

-The last known contact we have between Jessa and Jeff is on 8/8

-On 8/15, an unknown person asks Steph if she's seen Jessa. This is the first indication we have that Jessa is missing. We can assume that Jessa was probably around from 8/9-13, otherwise Steph would have mentioned that she hadn't seen her all week, right?


We have never gotten an answer about when Steph received that voicemail. They dodged the question in the UStream and Steph has been a noshow for our questions since she's been back. Feeling guilty or not, I think it's odd that this hasn't been answered.

edit: I think it's equally odd that we never found out when Vinnie received that email from Ryan. He was messing with his phone all day in ADWGF, trying to reach Ryan. You'd think he'd notice an email. But this lends to my theory that somehow the Rake/Habit read the email on Vinnie's phone(thus why it was in Alex's room) and was the reason Ryan was killed.

I think Steph may be compromised on a level the others aren't. She's been 'alone' with SM for a long time. He killed her parents; she told no one. He told her to go north, and she did, didn't she? I think? I think she may still keep her own counsel a little, if only out of guilt.

To the best of my knowledge there's no way to ask Steph individually if she knows why Jessa split.

Well, even though she said she was retiring CYSTW, she did say she'd still answer questions. Maybe the reason she hasn't responded to anything is that noone has asked her the right questions yet?
