A strange Email

It decodes to this:

 		I decided to email Nancy to see if I would get a response.

Quote:
Me: I was wondering if I could get more information about Lavender Meadows Home for a relative of mine.
Nancy: I would be happy to help you with information. What would you like to know?

Me: May I call you Nancy in return? I would like to ask what kinds of services do you offer at Lavender Meadows?
Nancy: Of course you can. All us nurses here at Lavender meadows want nothing more then to make you feel comfortable. We offer a resting place for very unique patients. Patients that other 'places of R and R' couldn't exactly handle.

Me: It's nice to hear about the superb comfort services you offer but what do you mean by unique patients? Is Lavender Meadows a place for relaxation?

Nancy: I remember when my mother had her first breakdown. My father had left us after shacking up with his Secretary. My mother was all alone, raising three kids. She barely lasted the month before they carted her off to 'relax'
Me: I'm so sorry to hear that- I hope you and your siblings are okay. Are you the oldest of your family? Also did your mother ever come back from her 'relax'?


That's it so far.

Update:
Quote:
Nancy: Oh yes, she came back, about three months later. We had a lovely time with Gran while she was gone. Lavender meadows wasn't around back then. The place had been called Mcfallisters Hospital. Its so different now. I am the youngest. My eldest brother is in a jazz band.

Me: How was your mother when she came back? Perhaps the name Lavender Meadows brings peaceful thoughts of the lavender flower (which smells nice). What about your other sibling? I thought you mentioned your family had three kids?

Nancy: I have two older brothers. Growing up with them was a pain. You should of seen how they bothered the boys that wanted to take me out.
Me: Brothers can be annoying but they're only being over-protective of you. Hehe. I was wondering what other services are provided at Lavender Meadows besides relaxation?


I got this in return: It's ROT-13- must figure out next stage
Code:
lrneylznaffunzrxvgyrncgrpucbherqrlrtrgfubgebjfborzrgvp

I miss them
I cannot see them anymore.

Translates into:
yearlymansshamekitleaptechpouredeyegetshotrowsobemetic


Update:
Quote:
Me: Does your job take up too much time so you cannot see your brothers? I'm sure they miss you too.
Nancy: you could say that...
When you take this job. You stop existing.

Me: How can you not exist? The fact that you are talking to me right now should indicate you exist.
yearlymansshamekitleaptechpouredeyegetshotrowsobemetic
Nancy: itsnotthatsimple
nearlythere
Nancy: 6space 4space 5space 3space 4space 4space 6space 3space 3space 3space 3space 3space 6space (A/N: This was in a list format)
Nancy: You've missed your mark and misunderstood me.
You had it right the first time.
However the words make no sense
that is the key.
You must hurry, there is more to know and find.


~~ Going for a break now. Smile

 		Hmm, if you split up the text the way she suggests you get:

yearly mans shame kit leap tech poured eye get sho tro wso bemeti

and a spare "c" at the end

Obviously these are mostly english words, apart from towards the end, where I would have expected to split the text as:

shot row sob emetic

Either way, the words don't seem to have much in common.

Right so could "sho tro wso bemeti" be the answer?

I can't find any websites for Lavender Meadows Home that would fit in with our game (but it is the name of a real place)

Other theory is that the final few words are mis-spelled, running it through a translator and a few other places all I can find is-

co to wso bamet (in Polish)=What is the CFR bamet

Well, the word shot is relevant if you watch the video on the youtube page. Sob as well, because that's basically crying. An Emetic is something that induces vomiting. A row is a boisterous disturbance or quarrel; a brawl. So this could mean a shot was administered, the person was sobbing, they fought back, and the shot contained an emetic.

 		There is a hidden message on the first vid . Its the places you see a window broken. It says
Quote:
She doesn't want to be here. None of us do. If she lays to rest. I've a present for you
. the second vid has some backwards talking on it, I couldn't make out what it said.

Well, John 15:12 is a fairly well known bible verse:
Quote:
John 15:12
New International Version (NIV)

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.


15:12 could also refer to a military time of 3:12 pm.

It could be the 15th of December.

Just throwing out ideas here.
