[EMAIL] Emails with Qu13en

Since the admins have been kind enough to move us to potential status (Thanks Smile ) we should make use of our forum space and keep the Qu13e site thread from getting any more cluttered .

Here is her half of our correspondence so far.

I am Qu13en 9tales, servant of oboenai.

Most would consider me the lock instead of key.

Who are you?

Greetings Delusional,

It appears a new chapter to a very old story is unfolding.

And others are searching, too - there are those who would help and others who would do you harm.

You must be silent while I unremember answers to your qu13estions.

If what you speak is true, then all that was lost has been...found...out.

Others are searching, too. What realm claims you?

If you are from the Realm of Earth, then you are not alone.

oboenai is my Realm, and so the reason why time requires.

I will have better explanations once I am able to contact those I must.

Until the next, beware those who would have you trust them.

I fear a traitor is among you.

jan the labfly,
sparkrent is a name I certainly don't remember, and I can only suppose he's up to no good. But in Qu13e no one is to be trusted, as it always should.
If you are to find Random Martin, you will need someone from the Realm of Earth, for he once resided there.
I am currently searching for path for you, and your friends, but I require time.
We were all supposed to be forgotten. Instead, someone remembered us all.
Be careful, it seems the dead are now undead.

this came in late last night from Oboenai:

Quote:
On the 13th I will lead you astray, to the brink of Solitairea.

Etiqu13ette dictates I am forbidden to communicate with you or your friends, unless you - if you ever do - see beyond the Invisibleye.

Until then, mind your peace and qu13es.


hmmm Confused

edit:"Invisibleye" think we're missing something on qu13e? or is it referencing something else? ( i did a quick google and found a ton of hits about some old french horror short story -- i'm going to pick it up today
unless i can find it online -- just to check it out)
just found this
Quote:
few short tales contain greater horror than The Invisible Eye, where a malignant old hag weaves nocturnal hypnotic spells which induce the successive occupants of a certain inn chamber to hang themselves on a cross-beam.
probably not related...

A Message From Qu13en 9tales

Quote:
Let us speak of events transpired thus far.

The being 'sparkrent' has managed not only to awaken, but also unbind, Qu13e. He then lured those from the Realm of Earth into breeching it, allowing splinternails the opportunity to escape.

It is imperative we learn who sparkrent is, as well his motives behind this act of treachery.

Clockstop the Whys has urged you to find Random Martin, but I am here to tell you - now that you have help from the Realm of the Living - you next need help from the Realms of the Dead Undead.

If and when you and your friends are ready, I will lead you astray to where the end begins. There you must contact the Keeper of Things; he is one of the very few who may freely traverse the Realms of Qu13e. When you have located him, give him Clockstop's message - and then give him something that he does not have.

If he is pleased, he just may secret you inside.

After you have entered, search for the Realm of Oboenai - and me. I will be waiting.

Already ghosts are being resurrected, haunting the living.

Now is your chance to turn back.

Qu13e is where things are meant to be forgotten.

Depend on each other, but trust no one.


Cool let's find the keeper of things get sparkrent..
who is he?

I think the post someone (Maria, I think) made about sparkrent being "prankster" scrambled might be of value in this. It might not have more significance than to lend us a direction in the ways of thinking thus far, but my personal opinion is to give it merit until it is proved unuseful. I dont, however, have any possible thought as to how to tie it in yet.


*EDIT*

As far as his reasonings, he states in his journal he wants his "just rewards", so that is the true question. What is it he is gaining from this? An opportunity to rejoin the living?

*2nd EDIT*

These are the 2 journal entries that seem to correspond with her message.

01:30 am
11/21/05
We now have spies on the loose.
According to one, the living may have forced Clockstop to resing The Gate.

If this is true, then the reawakening will not be long.

Oh, the glory I shall receive!


01:30 am
11/25/05
I've contacted several of the living myself, the last calm before the storm.
My vines will soon be dangerous enough to strangle!

Oh, he will be pleased.

I got the same email as everyone else today. So I sent One off, to my suprise less than ten minutes later I got a reply.

Qu13en email 12/13 wrote:
Delusional,

In several hours I will return with the path to where the end begins.

That you are ready gives all of the Realms much hope.

Until the next, all qu13e things to those who wait.

Lets see what happens in a few hours. Smile

My email was slightly different.

I sent her:

Quote:
I choose not to turn back.

I have only a few questions for you. If you are unable to answer, I understand. But I must ask them.

First, do you know how we can discover the mind behind sparkrent? He contacted a few of my friends awhile ago, but since then has not been seen.

We are following your lead, and wait for you to lead us to "where the end begins". Any help you can give us, we take with our thanks.

For all you have given us and done for us thus far, we thank you. We wait for any more help you can give us. "All qu13e things to those who wait".


And she wrote back:

Quote:
Maria,

As for sparkrent, we are all still trying to unravel his secret. His is a name I unremember, so I can only suppose he's up to no good.

And the thanks belongs to you and your friends for becoming involved in a nightmare that was dreamt by us.

As you deeper into Qu13e, it may become more difficult for us to communicate this way.

As for the note, "probably" dead isn't necessarily dead. Pursue the Keeper of Things as I have told you.

Have any of you tried to contact her? I emailed the other day and got a response... nothing of any importance (as it appears you have all the information you need from her). Tried to email today but the mail got sent back to me. Any new news?
