Work your Magic. Smile Who are the next levels? (He's only "first" level. Any way you can play off of that? Any resentment about that he could blurt out? Spill a bit too much?) Well done., Luci. Smile

 		Check out the library guest book if you haven't already - it looks like NHT responded to Roxanne...

 		Can someone give me the server information I need to connect to #Snowtown? The irc.whatever.net address and stuff? I'd like to talk with other players sometime...

For chat, you can use the java applet from unFiction @ www.unfiction.com/chat once signed in type "/join #snowtown", without the quotes. Or you can use mibbit click on "launch chat", then click on "server", type "irc.chat-solutions.org" (without the quotes) into the server address field, and type "#snowtown" into the channel field. click Go. Or you can download mIRC.

Thanks for pointing that out, I completely missed it.

 		Week...? NHT's guestbook post implies the Snow People only stay for a week. That would make March 2 the last day for this visit. If we have any big moves for Peg to make, we might have to get her to do them before the end of that day, just in case we really are on a time limit.

...I only just realized that according to the notes, LH went to the lower spiral on the night of February 28. Which is... right now. Something might happen soon, and I don't think it's safe to go down there right at the moment.

OOTG LOL The PM must have been driven spare that we didn't already work it out - NHTSPLATsnowtownlibrary.org - what with the many repeated NHT references and Natasha showing us she's tech savvy by posting about joining the virtual book club!

Hullo there Edward!

I'm a friend of Luci's who is also keeping an eye on the happenings in Snow Town! It looks to be a really exciting time for you all! Wink

Anyway, I was wondering if you could do me a favour and send me a list of people who can access the library vault? I have a hunch about something, but I need that list to do some deducing! You'll do me this one little favour, won't you?

Stay warm,
waywardProtagonist

Hullo back to you, Mr. Protagonist! or is it Ms.? YAY YAY YAY it is an exciting time! Snow People! Hurrah! I'm over the Snow People tonight. I'm tired. t-i-r-e-d. I've been imbibing too much and No No No I'm not risking my neck to give you "the list". I'd be extra extra careful, W.P. I heard Ruthie and Clare discussing the snooping being done by my Aunt Peg and her friends. Are you a friend of my Aunt Pegs? I bet you are! I'd keep my distance from this entire situation. The red flag is up! This crowd doesn't mess around. They're going to protect those Frosty Boys.. or are they Frostie Girls? WTF? I sat in front of the Frosty that looks out over Williwaw Pond tonight. I swear it was looking back at me. You get close to them and you can feel something. They draw you closer, but we're supposed to stay away. I'm not the only one that feels it. I ran into Julie tonight. She said she walks by each of them at least once a day. Julie told me she can't stop herself, "Moth to the flame." And now I have the sizzling image of a moth burning in a flame in my head. So sad. Poor moth. Dead. You know what, W.P.? You have been so patient listening to my drunken ramble, I want to say thank you. Thank you, W.P. I love you. I do. I love everyone. I do. Love. I love you and now because I love you I am giving you three names on the list for the vault. Tom Haynes Sr., Natasha Triplet and Charles Gullifer! You did not hear it from me, W.P.

I have already sent an email to Peg suggesting that she asks NHT about retrieving the box of slabs, as well as suggesting she tries Tom or Charles if that fails. It might also be worth someone directly contacting NHT now that we have her email and asking her for the box ourselves. Out of curiousity, is Tom Haynes Sr. the one who is hanging out with Ruthie, or is that Junior?

 		Poor PP, she's having a really bad night.

****The Snow Town Church bell rang out at 10 o'clock. Almost immediately after it rang out, a strong wind began to blow off the lake. The wind shook my house so hard a window pane in the dining room shattered. By the time I picked up the glass, the wind had stopped completely. I turned out the light in the kitchen and walked into my bedroom. I read for fifteen minutes and then reached over and turned out the light. The scratching started the moment I closed my eyes. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. It sounded like it was coming from the kitchen. I walked out to the kitchen and turned on the lights. The scratching stopped. Now I am in bed, in the dark, with my computer, typing this to you and the scratching has started again. It sounds like a stick on the window pane. It taps once and then scratches back and forth. It is doing it again. It tapped and then back and forth. The scratching sound is getting louder and louder! What is going on? I know some of you said others heard the bells before the Snow People came to Snow Town. Is anyone else hearing scratching at night? Do you know what is out there making the scratching sound? Is this somehow related to the Snow People? The scratching stopped again! The house is silent. I can only hear my own breathing. No! There it is again! It's closer this time! There is something or someone scratching on my bedroom window right now! The window is no more than two feet away from me! I want to look to see who or what it could be, but I can't turn my head to do it. I can't! I am unable to move! The scratching is getting louder! It tapped twice this time and then scratched back and forth slowly! I'm going to get up and go back into the kitchen and turn on my side light. I did it! I went into the kitchen and turned on the side light! The scratching stopped! I just looked out the kitchen window and I do not see anyone out there. To be safe, I think I will probably sleep with the lights on tonight. I'm sure everything will be alright. Could be the wind. Right? This is a magical time. Nothing bad happens during a magical time. I must admit I am really nervous right now. My heart is still pounding. I'm trying to calm myself down. I am a bit better. The Snow People are here to protect us. I must remember that fact. Maybe that's why the scratching stopped. The Snow People intervened on my behalf. Does scratching on a window symbolize something? Does it mean something? I'm searching with google and I can't find anything. The eleven o'clock bell is ringing now.***

I don't know. That page came up in a general google search for the library noted.

 		All Private needs to do is look back at the poem at the top of the Howl page to see what the scratching at the window means:

Quote:
Howl

The Bells Ring Every Night
As I Shake With My Fright
Scratch Scratch Scratch At The Pane
'Til I Run Down The Lane
They're Coming
They're Coming
They're Coming Home

Louise Hoskins
January 30, 1911


Perhaps we should urge Private not to run down the lane - we know how Louise's ending turned out!

Note to self, do not read super creepy updates about people at your windows while you are sitting in front of one and it is totally dark and windy and ominous outside... *shivers*

Exactly what I wondered when I saw this! I've asked Edward in my latest email. Could get confusing with multiple Tom's, but if Sr is old, like over 80, could be the Magician.

Private has had the Spiral reappear on the windscreen - emailed it to Peg http://www.snowtown.me/?p=385#comment-171 I wonder why Private asked Peg rather than just putting it up on the Howl page?

 		Tom Haynes Sr. and Jr. Great. The last thing we need is two people with the same name.

The spiral here, I noticed, is rotated slightly to the left compared to the one on Private's page. I'm staring at it, but I can't seem to see anything else of significance. Perhaps someone could try rotating the other spiral to match this and try superimposing it over the map again? The convergence point of the larger/red dots may hold a clue. I see nothing else new, still no book club meeting place.

@lighter: The song he quoted in his first email to Luci.

Oh, book club page is updated. To build tension for the virtual book club. Also, a Henry Wise says hello on the guestbook for some reason.

 		Private replied to my asking her to share her howl.html page with Peg, promising discretion.

Private Person wrote:
I did see your previous email. I apologize for not getting back to you. The moment the Snow People arrived nothing else seemed important to me. Life became a wild party. I have ignored everything in my life except the Snow Town parties and building my snow cave. I had not built a snow cave since I was 9 years old. I dug it into the beautiful pile of snow created by the plow. It is the best snow cave I've ever made. When I'm inside my snow cave life is wonderful! It seems to take away every care or worry I have ever had in my life. In fact, I might spend the rest of today out in my snow cave. I should pack a lunch and bring a thermos of soup or maybe some cider.

I will reach out to Peg, but I can't allow her to know my identity. I am sorry. I can't risk it

ETA: And Edward Harmon replied to Henry Wise, signing off with "Aloha!" Laughing Wild times in Snow Town.
