 		I'm glad I'm not too late to the game. I just found the trailhead on 4chan/x/ and filled out the questionairre. It's been a while since I've not-played a not-game; I'm looking forward to it.

Actually, there are 25 in the whole email. The nine that are randomly capitalized are:

Institutional
Inexplicably
Inability
Infavorable (misspelled)
Inabling (misspelled)
Inforgivable (misspelled)
Insurmountable
Inevitable
Indulge

The rest are INOX, IT, and other random "I"s.

I'd like to point out that "I" is the ninth letter of the alphabet.

 		Nice, I think that slipped by us before - that or no one mentioned it. And yea, don't think you're too late. They gave us our first assignment, though, so hopefully you'll get one of those.

 		Apate doesn't want me to talk to Agrius.

In response to an email I sent him asking if he was okay:
Quote:

I think we have an antagonist, ladies and gentlemen.

 		Oh, we certainly do. I'm getting death threats already:

Agrius and I wrote:


Me wrote:
Wait, so who are you? How are you involved in all this - and why does Apate and Dolos, of all people (of all things, whatever the hell it is) think YOU'RE crazy?


Agrius wrote:
I am Agrius. That is all that there is to me. I have no choice in being involved. I dislike Apate.

I warn you now, if you disrespect me, do not expect to live.


Me wrote:
Whether you have a choice or not, you're involved - what's your business with the Noblesse? Quobe? All of this? Why do you dislike Apate?

I mean no disrespect - I am simply curious.


I bitched out at the end, but I'm trying not to ruffle the waters just yet. I'd like not to die so young.

EDIT: Now Apate is giving me some information on him - kind of. uF is running slow as shit for me for some reason, so if my updates seem out of line, that's why.

Apate and I wrote:

Me wrote:
Yea, you sent it to me. Who is this guy? Why is he crazy?


Apate wrote:

Me wrote:
Too late. Sent him an e-mail. What's he going to do to me?

Should I know something about this guy before I start talking to him?


Apate wrote:
i cnt save u now


Me wrote:
Then you can at least tell me what I'm getting into - who is this guy? What should I expect - and why is he crazy? This whole organization seemed legit at first, but now all I'm seeing are a bunch of wackos. The only remotely sane person was that Aisa girl.


Apate wrote:
aisa is a shepp in a lio ns dn


Me wrote:
A sheep in a lion's den? I can see that - everyone else in this damn thing is psycho or threatening to kill me. Why is Agrius dangerous?


Apate wrote:
jst pretend u hate me
he;kk like u etter then


Me wrote:
... Hm. Ok. But I do not hate you, Apate and Dolos. You just seem troubled, and I wish I knew more about you, or if there was something I, or any of us, could do.

But I will pretend to dislike you for the sake of figuring out what's going on.


Apate wrote:
he dsnt ffel
and its my fault
but he hnks its wose then it is


Me wrote:
He doesn't feel? Doesn't feel what? How is it your fault? And what's worse - Quobe? He didn't seem to like the idea of being involved. I asked if he was involved with the Noblesse or Quobe and he said he was forced to be involved.

What number is he? A 9 like you?


Apate wrote:
idnno he even has a # anymor


Me wrote:
What do you mean?... Does that mean he's higher than a 9? I thought 10s didn't exist, and if they did, they were extremely rare.

That'll be the end of that, Mr. Rivers.


Me wrote:

Whoa. Ok.. so.. Death threat from Agrius. No biggie. Now Apate got black bagged, is what it sounds like!

Could Agrius be the Doppelganger Apate spoke of? Cause obviously this typing and grammar is much better - much more along the lines of Agrius, actually. What the hell just happened?

U might want to note this next time you talk to agrius Very Happy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Agrius (Ἄγριος), a man-eating Thracian giant who was half-man and half-bear



Pretty clear we are dealing with the Greek mythos here

 		I must not have found anything because I looked for both Agrius and Mikta or whatever his last name supposedly is.

That sounds terrifying.

And something out of Mother Russia.

In other news, I just submitted my assignment to The Noblesse. I finished it just as April 8th hit for me (EST). So.. yea. We'll see what happens.

Wiki wrote:
Agrius or Agrios (Gr. Ἄγριος), in Greek mythology, is a name that may refer to:

* A son of Parthaon, king of Calydon in Aetolia, and Euryte; he was the brother of Oeneus (who succeeded his father as king of Calydon), Alcathous, Melas, Leucopeus, and Sterope.[1] He was father of six sons, including Melanippus and Thersites, who overthrew Oeneus and gave the kingdom to their father. Agrius and his sons were themselves overthrown by Diomedes, who reinstated Oeneus as king. All the sons except Thersites were killed by Diomedes.[2] Apollodorus places these events before the expedition of the Greeks against Troy, while Hyginus states that Diomedes, when he heard, after the fall of Troy, of the misfortune of his grandfather Oeneus, hastened back and expelled Agrius, who then committed suicide;[3] according to others, Agrius and his sons were all slain by Diomedes.[4][5]

* A son of Odysseus by Circe and a brother of Latinus and Telegonus, mentioned only in Hesiod's Theogony.[6]

* One of the Gigantes, enemies of the Olympian gods. He, together with Thoon, was clubbed to death by Moirai with maces made from bronze.[7]

* One of the Centaurs who Heracles fought with.[8]

* One of the suitors of Penelope, from Dulichium.[9]

* One of Actaeon's dogs.[10]

The city of Agrinio, the largest city in Aetolia, took its name from Agrius.


Just so we have all the information here.

 		The number 8 is not my friend today! Ill have to try again tomorrow!...

:O so everyone met Agrius!!! ARRGHH I hate using my Phone!!!

>3 It is time to introduce myself lol.

But I think your right about him being a Doppelganger Apate told me that Agrius was like them. So I think it might be that

Edit: Boy this guy isn't friendly at all!! I think I prefer Apate and Dolos!!
(XD but I on the other hand like ruffling feathers... here we go!)

Quote:
Me:
Oh ho ho ho!
So you have a temper. :O and you speak rationally :3 Ill speak more carefully if you'll explain who you are.
Also Im not a whelp Im a Nina.

Quote:
Agrius:
I am Agrius. There is only one Agrius. That should be enough explanation.

I do not care who you say you are, you are a whelp to me.


Thennnn I struck a nerve

Quote:
Me:
Ok ok I can get use to that but Im telling you it might be easier to type Nina.
OH! But you haven't explained anything at all!!! How bout this.. can you clear this up for me?
After all A&D said you were just like them. (but your really not as friendly)
They said
"no sum of these cats are good ppl you guys need to leave them aolne agrius
i rmmbr what you did"
:O Apate wont talk to me anymore will you tell me what that means? (Please and thank you)

Quote:
Agrius:
I have explained who I am. If you cannot use that information, that is your own problem.

DO NOT COMPARE ME TO APATE AND DOLOS, WENCH.


Lol but then I got mad >.<
Quote:
Me:
Hmmm.. :/ I think I preferred Whelp. You go back to that Ill never compare you to that again Got it?

Have some civility bucko since I am doing the same (and don't pull the I don't owe you shit thing I don't play that)

Look Im just trying to figure out what Im getting into and between you and Apate and Aisa and Noblesse Im getting cobwebs and sugarshit.

But let me lock this away You are Agrius Mikta and you did something to someone I assume. Your either a 9 or a rare ten because of the way you talk down to people. AND OBVIOUSLY are not on good terms with A&D.

Are you even really part of the quobe?

Quote:
Agrius:
I shall call you whatever I wish.

I have done things to many people. Yes, I dislike Apate and Dolos.

You are the first one to ask such a good question.

Maybe hes what happened to the old group?

Edit: XD lol I think he liked me better by the end of the convo he went back to Whelp.

 		Well, I had a rather lengthy conversation with Agrius. No death threats yet, at least. There's too many e-mails to post them all here, but I believe these are the most important bits:

I wrote:
Are you also part of the Quobe Group, or have I been misinformed?

Agrius wrote:
Not by my own decisions.


I wrote:
Oh, that doesn't sound very promising, as I've come in contact with them lately myself. What do you do for them, then?

Agrius wrote:
I am not under their control as much as most.


I wrote:
Yes, it has been trying to tell us to stay away from you. It's not working very well, though. What is "it", anyways?

Agrius wrote:
"It" is the reason I am here.


I wrote:
Well, I might as well try to ask them later. Do you have a number?

Agrius wrote:
No.


I can confirm that Agrius doesn't have a number. I tried asking why, but no reply yet.
I think that the fact that Agrius is there because of Apate and Dolos, is interesting. It is possibly why it is so afraid of him.
At least he hasn't threatened me yet? Very Happy

 		Well I also had a conversation with Agrius. It's mostly the same as what Skau posted. I can't really tell if Agrius is a good guy or a bad guy yet.

Me wrote:
Agrius,

I think I received an email meant for you. Do you know what seems to
be up with Apate and Dolos? They seem to have gone off the deep end.

-Sophie


Agrius wrote:
Good.


Me wrote:
Does the Quobe group want him to seem this way? Are you part of the group?


Agrius wrote:
Not 'want', perhaps.
That is a good question.


This is the only part that might have been slightly different.

Also, good job Nix. I don't know what you did to get on his good side (maybe he likes it rough. Ohohoho.), but he seems to be very talky with you!

 		Just got this from Apate and Dolos, I'm not sure if it was only sent to me or to everyone:

Quote:
How are you? Do you see the sunshine in through the trees? Can you hear them crying as they sway?

It's not nice to pick fights with family. Most have to learn the hard way life's simplest lessons. How does that make you feel? Are you angry with anyone? Do you even yet know what anger is as it eats away at you? Nevermind.

On quiet nights- or is it day? I don't know. I'm trying to forget.

You see these clouds that seem to speak or point. Try following one sometime.

I'll tell you a secret that like all good secrets is hidden in plainest sight: God and the Pigeons are one; trust in the Pigeons.


I have no idea what it all means. Trust in the pigeons?

EDIT: So I mailed it back and asked what on earth that all meant. Got this back:

Quote:
That's okay. You'll understand it when you are meant to.

 		I did not get that email, but if I see a group of 9 pigeons when I do my number report, I am going to shit bricks.

 		Well.. after a bunch of back and forth emails with A&D I finally got this:

Me wrote:
Do you think we're in danger from Agrius? What does he do for Quobe? And for you?

Did you get the same assignment as the rest of us? Smile


A&D wrote:
I should hope you have the sense to decide that for yourself; showers are very dangerous places.

Seeing how all the other hands wash would spoil your style.

I believe I killed him. He keeps saying I did so it must be true. Why would a dead man lie?

I could say so, or say no, so maybe I can't say at all.


What the.

Well, Agrius kept telling me that he was here because of A&D. It's probably related to this. Weird, though. Neutral
Also, is this really A&D we're talking to? Either it is his doppelganger or his other personality.

 		That's a good question.. he seems to be particularly lucid right now.. and spelling better.

Sometimes I feel like his more lucid seeming personality is more "fake".

Edit: A little more...

Me wrote:
How did you kill him?


A&D wrote:
Good question.

Maybe someday I'll remember the answer.

It's all very cloudy. I like it that way. More surprising.


Me wrote:
But obviously he is alive! He sends and replies to emails!


A&D wrote:
You think that would matter wouldn't you?

Stranger things have happened.

He lives once more, saw what was to be, or simply misunderstands.

Perhaps he even.... the thought makes me sick. Discuss this sometime else.
