 		[Rabbit Hole] The Carer
Okey, Been out of ARGs for a while and it looks like someone wants to pull me back in *shakes a fist*

Got a letter in the post this morning, wrote out to the address of the registrar of the Perplex City Wiki (which is my business).

Anyway the letter contains:

Code:

thecarer.0nyx.com

Good day, Sir/Madam.
   As you will no doubt have noticed over the past week, a
nationwide search is taking place for a number of missing
persons around th UK. Coverage of the case has been
abundant in the national media, and pleas from various
relatives and friends have been made for anyone who might
know anything about their beloved ones' whereabouts. Kerri
Mason. Paul Richmond. Jennifer Ascot. Kyle Hignett.
Oliver Everett. Roger Derwent. Amanda Pranciskis. All
missing.
   How would you react if I told you I knew eactly where
each and everyone one of these people is, and what they're doing
right now?
   All seven people are currently sitting in the same room
of the same building in the same very specific location. All
of them have something in common, but that's not important
yet. Kyle is scratching his head. Paul is yawning. Amanda
is crying. I'm sure you'd be the hero of every single one of
their families if you could find them.
   Me? Well, you'll find out more about me in time, I'm
sure. In fact, since I'm the one providing you with the
first piece of the puzzle, you might find some more
information about me pretty soon.
   I'm sure you will be in touch.

   All the best,
   - the carer


Scan of the letter

the obvious link is to thecarer.0nyx.com. Goto there and theres another obvious clue message.

Code:

Ah, Welcome. Well done. You'd be surpised
how many don't even make it to this stage

Now, then. You'll probably want to know a bit more
about me, about who i am,  and about my connection to
the missing persons. You'll find answers, with
perseverence. Remember, the world is a complex
place. Sometimes you have to look deeper to locate
what you're looking for. If you do that. I'm sure you'll
get to the source of the matter.

All the best,
- the carer

And then you view the source and what do you get:

 		Ha!
It sounds like that movie where everyone was stuck in a hotel and died one by one. It was found out that they were all born on the same day (only their years were different). I can't help but wonder if this is what they all have in common, but we shall see.

EDIT: The link isn't working for me. Do you have to be in the UK? Hmmm...

 		Just sent a respectful and delicately-formed mail to the carer, let's see what he/she has to say for himself.

Hi, All.
Looks like we're in for a ride.

Yeah, I think that's what it's called. It's been awhile since I've seen it so I may have had some details mixed up, but I know that it had something to do with their DOB.

Code:

Ah, Welcome. Well done. You'd be surpised
how many don't even make it to this stage

Now, then. You'll probably want to know a bit more
about me, about who i am,  and about my connection to
the missing persons. You'll find answers, with
perseverence. Remember, the world is a complex
place. Sometimes you have to look deeper to locate

All the best,

 		Has anyone emailed halderman2003SPLAThotmail.com yet?

We don't know much about the characters yet, but does it seem best to tell her about the carer?

EDIT: Darkstar has it seems, so I have done as well Razz
