Well, I'm not going into work on Tuesday (or walking around the city) with a red balloon

I have a feeling the balloons will tip off Melissa, too. Why not a certain colored shirt? I think that would be descreet enough.

You could certainly do a :D, or perhaps write "friend" on the balloon.

Meanwhile, folks in the puzzle thread have already gone ahead and sent emails with the transcripts. Just used a different password. Skipped the entire "send me pictures" thing.

[BACK ON TOPIC]
I like the idea of red balloons myself. What about using balloon clipart instead of actually holding a balloon? It'd be fairly easy to find some, but the downfall is getting Melissa to ignore an obviously out-of-place object.

Why not? Just stick an uninflated balloon in your pocket, inflate it before you take the picture, pop it when you're done. No fuss, little muss.
Edit: Oh, and about embedding text in the images, this is the exact quote:
Quote:
It would be nice if ... I would like it if some of MY friends managed to do something in the pictures (some secret sign, maybe) so I knew they still liked me.
This strongly implies to me that she expects us to actually be making a secret signal -- along the lines of a "peace" sign, but more SP-specific -- in our picture, rather than embedding text digitally. I think holding a red balloon fits what she's asking for.

I agree that that is the kind of secret sign the Princess is asking for but unfortunately a red balloon is not very inconspicuious. Emagine a row of guys standing around a pay phone and two of them have red balloons. And one or more red balloons shows up in lots of pactures. would not Melissia be suspicious? Now a red shirt would be unremarkable unless you know in advance. Loyal Crew can wear Navy or Whites.

Why not just make SPArmy Tshirts and bring those to the axons? Melissa may not know what it is but I bet the Sp would.
