 		Whoa. OK I think that'd freak me out too. Have you given your phone number to anyone in the ARG? Travis, oy the xoxo@hotmail one?

If you have then maybe try sending a email to travis, asking him who seymour is because he is phoning you.

 		Yes I did give my phone number to Your Truly in the game on the website where it said e-mail all your info...I only gave my number not my address.

 		In that case, I wouldn't worry. Sounds like part of the game. Still, quite unnerving I would imagine.

But a new character makes it even more interesting. Who the hell is seymour? lol

I'm getting sucked further and further into this one. Although it seems that the 'things to do' have dried up since I started playing it.

There are so many as yet unanswered questions, with just more questions being added and it's frustrating me Confused

 		Any one make head or tails of the phone number...again it was 555-555-5555...could just be a disposable cell phone I suppose.

 		sorry for the double post....but I am wondering why Yours Truly is clearly a girl in her blog. Yet, Travis refers to her as a HIM in his blog... What is the deal with this transgendered thing?

It's probably one of those numbers where they hide the calling ID (there's a company on the net that does it for US numbers). Do you think Seymour & Irashi are the same person?

Quote:
Irashi-san... He has come to help us! I am so very grateful to have a new friend, nya! Too bad i'm leaving on friday for Florida... Hard to work because of that... Oh well, maybe there is a library nearby that I can use to get hold of the internet? or i can use the TV once in a while or something! Ah well, we'll figure it out sooner or later... anyway, I gotta find out what "it" is... and I want to thank "it" for giving me a new friend... Irashi-san!!!


Ooooh...I wonder now...I didn't give my details to YT, just my email address (& no emails thus far). Remember how Travis said he saw YT with some packages? And Travis has warned us about opening our mail & watching our back. For all you who have given your addie to YT, what's the bet you're going to have something turn up in the post? Aaaahhh...I've already given my address away to Travis (no other details, though - no real names)...I want a spooky package from YT Smile

 		Any one having any luck with the Mayoi puzzle. I tried looking up song lyrics that had some of the words we could see in it but nothing so far.

Also, Seymour...could possibly have meant see more. So perhaps if I would have asked the right questions I could have learned or saw more of the puzzle.

Yeah, you might be right there (aaahhhh...my brain isn't really in puzzle-solving mode at the moment...hehe).

I thought I would send an email to Little...then as I was re-reading her blog, I thought...there are a lot of similarities between her & YT. In one of Little's blogs, she has filled out a quiz thing & keeps mentioning that she "sort of" has a boyfriend who is a good friend, except some people seem to think he isn't. She went on holiday around the time Travis met YT at CiCis. One of her favourite sports is martial arts (YT packs a bit of a punch by all accounts). She says she wants to thank "it" for sending Irashi (could "it" be the darkness YT refers to?). And she burns out in the sun, even in winter (don't know what relevance that has...but it sounded really odd...smacks of vampires). Could YT & Little be one & the same (except with a bit of amnesia or split personality involved?).

 		I'm VERY interested in Little. Is there any way to confirm that she is indeed in-game?

In case if anybody playing this game is interested, the Era that Little mentions in her blog is a character in .hack//fragmented_twilight. Before that game started, a hacker named Comprehension put Era into a coma. Ever since then, he's been guiding us to the "Truth", in hopes that we will "Comprehend" what really happened to Era.

No hard evidence so far (unless someone who is just playing the game can confirm they are Little??!) but her blog smacks of the Missing one...same style, same amount of time running, etc...plus too many "cooincidences" to be truely OOG, methinks?

I'd say she's definitely referring to the other ARG you talked about:
Quote:
I'm glad to know that Comprehension is on our side... and so far has been keeping Era safe.


.hack//fragmented_twilight looks like it's been running for a while...if it's connected, then I guess that means sitting down & doing a big catch up Confused

I emailed both Travis & Ashley (Little) mentioning Era earlier today...hopefully one of them will reply & we might get a few answers...?

If these two games are indeed connected... O_O

Well, long story short, Comprehension gave us a description of a blog that we have to find. The person who owns it may know more about Era's disappearance. And, well, Little's blog matches that description to a tee.

 		Got another email from Travis:

Quote:
epiphany:

I'll fire off some posters when these old bones have
mended enough to get out of bed. As for Era, I didn't
have the foggiest about that until I went snooping
around. It got my mind off of Setsumei Hiru, so it
wasn't a total loss. . .but I think you've been had. Sad

Era seems to be a character in some sort of game,
from what I can tell. In any case, Era doesn't seem
to have anything to do with Hiru's disappearance.
It looks like it has something to do with this wildly
popular Japanese video game, "The World", but
again, this doesn't have a single thing to do with
my situation. Sorry.

Thanks,
Travis


Sooooooo...what to make of this? Is Little just a red herring?

Well, I think that's a pretty clear confirmation that Era isn't a part of this game... (Darn! No crossovers! Razz) And thus, Little isn't a part of this game either. Which also means that she has nothing to do with Fragmented_Twilight.

Just look at how many birds that stone just killed!

In other news, I just got done reading Yours Truly's gigantic post. One part stood out to me.

Should I up my insurance policy? Razz

 		Just been reading the Immersion board...looks like Little is just someone playing .hack//fragmented.twilight.

Check out the bottom post of this page.

 		I am inclined to agree with you epiphany. I emailed you the MSN log before I read this, but it's a wierd read anyway.

Another 'hint' that Little is not IG is a reply yours truly gave to one of her recent comments:


http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8819526&postID=112133161939017988

Anyway, I emailed Travis, noting that YT has some serious issues she needs to deal with and asking him for some posters to put up around London (Incidently, I think that the posters may be just advertising, or rather a way to get the word out and make more people get involved. Just my take on it but obviously could be way off track and I may get a mysterious parcel with CD ROMs and codes Smile ) and got this reply :

Quote:

Tucker:
?
I'm telling you all -- that lass is as crazy as the day
is long. There's something seriously wrong with her.
?
Anyway.
?
As soon as I can, I'll mail out some handbills and
such for you, see what you can do in London. It
means a lot to me.
?
Thanks,
Travis
?
P.S. All of London and the British people are in
my thoughts and prayers following the recent
events. Take care.




Two thoughts spring to mind about this email.

1) Nice guy Smile
2) Why all the ?'s ? I've tried 'select all' but could find nothing hidden.


EDIT : In my reply to this mail, I said that 'an aquaintance of mine also looking for hiru had a disturbing phone call from seymour' and could he throw any light on it. I didn't mention you by name Phoebe, and hope you don't mind me asking him.


Ideas anyone?

Cheers

Tucker
