I have a feeling that i'll be making/getting the bulk of the calls (though training means I'll have it on silent most of the day, so I'll call around 6ish when I get off work), so I'll call. But maybe run it by waitress and see what she thinks, I don't want a repeat of Cell365...(we had a number we got wrong and everyone spammed her and she called me back and was really freaked out and it.... wasn't fun.)

After multiple complaints on IRC, I recorded the numbers and cut out the scream, but I'm pretty sure some numbers overlap the scream, so you probably won't get anything from this.

Edit 1:
I counted 9 numbers in the sound file I uploaded

Edit 2:
Welp, I just realized phone numbers have 10 numbers

Edit 3:
Adding a better version of the sounds

Edit 4:
Adding doubleplusgood version

quick rundown of tonight's rather frustrating events:

1. Phone number is a red herring
2. The main point of the video is what's visual, not audio.
3. Melissa blinks a /lot/ but we don't know if it's a code. it was 2-3-5-6, if anyone's wondering.
4. The odd logo reminds me of the Journal and the logos and the theory that we had about the plain O being Chris' logo because the cycle starts over with him. But I don't know where to go from there.
5. spectograph is not helpful
6. the video stats are private, not just 'no stats for this video' but 'public display had been removed'. Maybe someone should ask him about that.

Hell, I don't know where to go with any of the (lack of things) we found out about today. I guess a waiting game again. I'm tired and cranky and my pills wore off hours ago, so sorry if this sounds snippy. He /said/ there was going to be a phone thng and he had a phone from whoeverthefuck and the numbers and all of it was him just fucking wiht us for the past two-three weeks and I doubt he even killed someone important. He could just be fucking wiht us again.


Rawr, tired OWP is tired and cranky.
Night.

He's talking to me in sign language, now. He made this just for me:


It decodes to "Do not be so dumb"

OWP, I don't think it's code, I don't believe she blinks more than the average person

Okay, I/we figured it out! There is a code at the top of the video, but only if your computer is angled right.

http://imgur.com/XQlrS

Which translates too

http://tinyurl.com/foragoodtimecallme

which leads to:


YouTube: Link


and the binary, we think isn't very special, reads:
did u enjoy the swedish rhapsody watch?v=nTz9Obp9ez4

which leads to:

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=nTz9Obp9ez4[/youtube]

We think that it has to do wiht the clips from the videos corresponding to numbered MDT videos, so far we have either x67-x14-xxxx, or something of that sort.

Static tv far away: #9
help me: from #67
matchbox: possibly from #34
More static tv from another angle: not yet found
close up of static: not yet found
body/blood: either from a DNC killvid or CincoDeMayo/#46
donotcontinue note: first seen in #14, also used in "the info u seek" from DNC
police video: from "pay the piper"
dancing person: a .gif from "tinyurl.com/weareallmadhere"
masked woman: not yet seen in the series.

EDIT: 967 isn't a valid area code. There goes that idea.

We've found the phone number by the length of the clips, and when we picked up it's Tracy (Somebody we don't know? OWP called, hung up when she answered and then Tracy phoned back and played the music from of sound mind, among other things), OWP will fill in what I missed later.

The number is 818 564 6999

Calls from DNC, one or two of whic hto be uploaded. One said my name so I don't want to.

Yes, DNC /talked/ to me. Creepy as fuck.

"Hello [OWP]. Did you miss me?"
*other garbled audio, same as the music from last few calls*
*hang up*
*call again*
"Good evening, [OWP]. come outside, I have something ot show you."
(always with the outside wiht him...)
*other noises, same as before*
*hang up*
"comeoutsidecomeoutsidewhyaren'tyououtsideIHAVEAPRESENTFORYOUcomeoutsidecomeoutsideRIGHTNOW"
*hang up*

Meep.

Uploads coming soon. I don't know if it's safe to take the memory card out yet or if I'll have other calls soon. I hope not. I need sleep! Coffee

I think that's enough terror for one night.

And we are back!

*puts on mask and hides household pets*

Right.....so rats and ritual.

In the IRC we debated if DNC is dead or not, as someone has obviously taken over the mask, I think the "rat" is DNC and he was killed for saying too much.


There is Morse which becomes:

E I E E I E E EE I E E E SE I E E I EE E IE E E E E E I E

yeah...useful


a few translations:

ASCII: 238 238 238 238 238 238 238 238 238 238 238 14

Base64: 7u7u7u7u7u7u7u4O

Binary: 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 11101110 00001110

I have no idea what code uses Es and Is (and one S)

Can't be, dit and dah would be two letters while this has 3.

Could you post the actual morse code (pre-translation)?

Edit: Nevermind (thanks waitress!) .--..--- .--.-..- .---.--. .--..-.- .--.-... .--..-.- .---..-. .---.-.. .--.---- .--.--.- .--..-.-

Edit 2: Waitress said that it's probably binary, not morse, because they're all 8 characters and morse wouldn't be that consistent. So, I changed the .'s to 0's and the -'s to 1's and got 01100111 01101001 01110110 01100101 01101000 01100101 01110010 01110100 01101111 01101101 01100101 which decodes to "givehertome"
