the picture is of the bronte parsonage at haworth - i thought i recognised it from visiting a few years back and found a photo online

http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/linfo/localguides/localbronte/localbrontetourism/

scroll down a bit to see it.

not sure what this tells us though. also of note, the floor plan is incomplete and i assume the right hand half is missing. room numbers 101, 104-107, 113 are all 'missing' as is possibly 118 - depending on what the two rooms with pieces of the photo in them are numbered.

all right! I'm in too! Got the same email as yellow.

Going to explore now...

ETA:

Hey Amandel; didn't understand your post; where is the code string in the EXIF data? Thought I was looking at it (more info from Finder in Mac OS), but not seeing anything...

The other thing I notice Mycroft is the lighter shaded bits on the outer perimeter of the schematic; you'd think they'd be windows markers, but the windows cross walls, there is one in that area between 112 and 100, etc. If those ARE windows, then the floor must have been renovated oddly..

Filename of schematic is 18031306, which could be RCMF, or two dates, or nothing at all...

ETA again...

Tweet 'Beware the Side of Charm' anagrams to Beware the Ides of March; something going to happen on the 15th?

I'm not sure what is occurring myself, but there is another ARG currently playing in which the main character is Forest. He followed Saranna on Twitter awhile back, and if you are interested in reading up on the game it's under the thread F.F.E.Y.-T. His most recent puzzle seems to relate to her, and probably this post so my thanks for drawing this to my attention.

Got H M S O for the Morse on the rope which can twist into On Her Majesty's Service. So, maybe the binary is for F.F.E.Y.-T ?

or hmso - as in her majesty's stationery office? they used to be responsible for publishing hansard, amongst other things, and ordering stationery for government departments.

the MC coud be someone's initials, or could be 1100 in roman numerals.

all of that said - this tarot design was created and submitted to saranna by someone else - a character from another ARG. it is possible that the clues it holds are for that game and not ours, as i can't see any IG reason for the two ARGs to connect?

this is further complicated by the latest legal pad page, which seems to contain the symbol from the 'black helix' ARG amongst other things (the dagger with wings and serpent looking thing). confusion abounds...

The post about Forest is entirely focused on his ARG. One of our most recent clues directed us to her. Supposedly the information on the tarot card should reveal a date. I think that anyone who is only playing TBS can probably ignore that post.

Of course if you want to try and solve it you can go right ahead.

a few comments on the latest page from the legal pad:

the symbol which has been crossed out across the top of the page looks like it is the rune 'ansuz'. runes develop over time and through different languages so there are a few meanings/uses for this rune but the most obvious ones i could find are:

meanings - god, oak, ASH (ash linking in to the later writing on this page)

not sure if it is relevant that the rune has been written (and scribbled out) 9 times

'more stories' might be a reference to the literary theme of the ARG, and the apparent incarnation of past lives such as woolf and joyce. it might also mean more stories as in the number of floors in the PIMCA building?

the lines about office workers in lab coats suggests this was written by a hospital inmate, or in line with the game, one of the spirits being contained at PIMCA headquarters.

'be for' is not quite right - not sure if it has been written as one word or two, and the 'e' is missing off the end.

'ashes, ashes, we all fall up' - back to ash again, and also maybe linked to the idea that we have to work our way up the office block? the lione is also similar to the child's nursery rhyme 'ring a ring o rosies' and might be an alternative version or just meant to remind us of the poem.

the image reminds me of the floor plan we can see at PIMCA level 1 access. maybe the top floor - as the word President appears on it (and the H might be a helipad...ok that's a stretch)

saranna also suggests more than one person has written on the page, or it relates to more than one story.

finally - not from the page but saranna's main blog...the top right of screen has a string of letters which i don't remember seeing before...
