Hey guys, there's a part of the Nicole Goes On Walks-blog I don't get. I'm not very versatile in Tumblr, and I tend to get confused about who says what. Can someone explain this part, just before the video?


That was me. Razz I didn't think I sent that anonymously but I guess I did.


It looks EXACTLY like a regular post. How do you see the difference between posts and comments and "retweets"?


Click on the title: Be Careful. I submitted it as a "question" and she posted it. I confess, the blogs style doesn't really make that clear. What makes it strange is that she didn't respond except to approve my submission. If you can't like or reblog it, then that might be a way of telling apart submitted posts.

EDIT: looks like they amended that. Now the post has "submission" in the title

 		Got this back from Nicole:
Quote:
Huh, the missing poster... That's really weird. I don't remember the Blackwells ever putting up any posters for Karen- they just kinda acted like she wasn't gone at all. And the whole "they're still looking for her?" thing.... I mean I know there's the 'pattern' or whateverthefuck that's looking for her but that's where I'd assume the file came from- dunno why they'd put up a missing poster though. Eh, maybe her parents (*spit*) did put up a few posters and I didn't notice or something. -shrug-


Here's some more:
Quote:
Joseph, huh? I already said that's Karen's dad's name, but both her parents have gone awol so I doubt it's him. They didn't look for her or anything, why would he suddenly decide to help now? God. IF it is him, I don't know how you can stand talking to that worm. They fucking up and abandoned their own daughter and moved the fuck out of town, out of the home she grew up in. I don't see why you shoulkd be giving them info one way or another. BCS, it's a trap. WCS, it IS her dad and I'm gonna shame the hell out of him if it is! Asshole. Both of them...

Bitter? Me? Noooo.


Aaaand some more. I asked about Lockwood/Lochwood:
Quote:
Well I know there's a Lochwood street, over near where Lucky Dog Books is- kinda a neat place to hang out. Erm. Lockwood...I know the name but not sure where from. I think a friend of Karen's. Maybe a teacher? Something like that- she only mentioned him once or twice and it was about four or five years ago, remember.

 		Hello! The hint was in the name of the Tumblr -- dark0 = Donnie Darko.

Seems we meet Rabbit/Darko. Also, a mention of Ram/Henry.

I've been having a conversation with Darko on his tumblr so his latest post is getting lost, but here's the link: http://dark0diaries.tumblr.com/post/46107070909/so-henry-recently-dropped-by-for-a-few-hours
Quote:
So, Henry recently dropped by for a few hours, taking a break from his most recent 'hunting trip' to drop off a few 'presents'. (Cow parts, no doubt leftovers from wherever he stole the poor cow from… He won't listen to me though, so w/e. Let him do whatever he- or Ram- wants. So long as he doesn't draw attention to himself, I'm fine with the few hour-long visits…)

There's some spinal columns and a skull and some ribs included too, big old black trashbag currently stinking up the garage. The pelvises are what interst me the most though- thinking maybe I could santize them and paint/plaster one of 'em up to look like Frank's mask- I mean, it does sorta look like it, doesn't it?

 		You vanish for a few hours and then suddenly someone cracks the case! Dang it. Now I have to read through another crazy tumblr and find out. Rabbit, huh? And a Ram... and "Snake" died... so I guess there's an animal motif. (/stating the obvious)

Wait... Lockwood? Where'd that name come up from? Did anyone see mention of a Lockwood anywhere outside the new tumblr?

So so far we've got:

Karen, AKA Cat

Henry AKA Ram

Taylor (Probably another animal of some sort.)

????? AKA Snake (Does it even matter? Whoever had snake is dead, it might not be relevant anymore)

"Darko" AKA Rabbit.

This is getting interesting. Darko's tumblr is pretty well done.

Yes, I asked the Lockwood question. The string of letters from Joseph B. decrypted to "THEY'RE WATCHING I CAN'T SAY MUCH YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD OF LOCKWOOD". I asked Nicole about Lockwood and she said that she had heard Karen mention a Lockwood years ago and that he might be a friend or teacher. After seeing Darko's response, I'm thinking Lockwood could be a doctor at Pattern?

That's a reasonable guess. Given what's in Darko's Tumblr, and his reaction to the name, we can guess that "Lockwood" is someone who knew the "kids" (for lack of a better term). This means he/she is either affiliated with the Pattern, one of their parents, or a "kid" himself who might be more amiable to chewing the fat with us and helping us figure this out. There's other pawsibilities, but those three seem the most likely to me.

Given his reaction about "Lockwood" Darko tells us more than he thinks he does! Obviously the figure has some association with Taylor, and it's probably one that will get Taylor angry. An ex-boyfriend or girlfriend maybe? But it seems more likely "Lockwood" is someone at the Pattern who Taylor especially disliked.

Until we know more, we'll just have to speculate!

Hm, I wonder if Nicole emailed me back...

 		I agree that Lockwood is a doctor at Pattern, but who is Fray and why is everyone talking about her?

Edit: also, I should have caught the Donnie Darko reference. I'm so ashamed.

Edit 2 (since I'm playing on my own half the day Smile) Am I the only one who just now realised Karen is not gonna call next week? Since the "cat is trapped"?

I'm gonna make meself a google doc to keep track. I'll make it public if anyone wants to have a look.

Zobot has Taylor and Darko listed as two people. Is it possible that Darko is Taylors bunny-persona? That's kinda how I read his "Taylor might be here later". I don't know how to list them/her.

Aww Smile
Here's a rough draught. Anyone should be able to edit without signing in. Let me know if that's not the case.

Edit: Ok, so catching up with The Tale of Fray seems to be a good idea at this point.

Edit 2: Oh. In the prequel Cat was a boy. (http://taleoffray.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/a-few-things-i-have-noticed-regarding-cat/). But you played The Tale of Fray, Zobot, and you still listed Karen as Cat here?
Any chance you can give us a run-down of that story? And perhaps correct my assumptions in the Google Doc, because I'm really confused Smile

 		Edit: Never mind. Just woke up. A bit stupid.

Y'know, when we contact the folks involved--Felt, Nicole, Dark0--we gotta remember they aren't just going to roll over with answers. Lol Dark0's post last night made me laugh, "where are you people coming from!?" I think it might have helped if Nicole hadn't been assaulted with emails from a bunch of strangers. I'd be surprised if she addressed us all personally.

(I'm gonna answer anyways Smile Probably others wondering too.)

Gotta admit I totally forgot about the prequel, even though I actually knew about it. (I guess it wasn't as much a prequel as the same arg in hiatus, tbh.) I guess knowing what went down is to our advantage.
It wasn't very long, not like plowing through EMH or anything, but since a lot of material is not avaliable anymore it was a tad confusing. That's why I'm hoping for an old player to help us catch up. (There's a few of them in here.)
All the links are in the ---> Google Doc.
