Just a note. The free web pic is truthprism9vh.jpg
The kite is dsc01463.jpg

A prism is something that changes white light into a rainbow. Like the colors on the kite.... or something I'm streching here. Alao I don't want to steal the solve but I think someone should post a coment saying we figured it out and found the blog.

Oops, I think we borked Amanda's site. "Data limit exceeded, it says" :\

Oh, the name of the jpg seems to be a default nomenclature that whatever digital camera took the picture uses. There are hundreds of instances of that name on Google Image Search.

The intermediate site, giveupstopturnaroundgoawayquit, has the same name style as James's AIM - mi22287, while James's is mi55548. I wonder what would happen if that were added to a buddy list...
[edit] Never mind, Amanda's site is back up now.

Hi, not really following this ARG, but I came across something that might help you out.

Amanda's site says her email is wherever.you.goSPLATgmail.com but that bounces. So I tried whereever.you.goSPLATgmail.com, everywhere.you.goSPLATgmail.com and everywhere.yougoSPLATgmail.com asking about the kite.

Got a reply from everywhere.you.goSPLATgmail.com:
Quote:
Kender,

This is Amanda's mother, Tabitha Keeling. Amanda says that she does not know a Kender! Are you possibly from Shallow Springs?

Tabitha


Sent this in return:

Um, yeah. I'm that shy fellow with the glasses (never made it into the owls).
I overheard kimmy about amanda's site and decided to take a look.
I was just wondering about the meaning of that kite picture. It seemed a nice way to start a conversation.

Kender


*EDIT: found more
Since amanda's page is http://geocities.com/everywhere.yougo/amanda, I thought I'd try http://geocities.com/everywhere.yougo/tabitha
voila, new page. Not much there though. Note that it does mention a Tom, just like the email on FBMP

Got a reply:

Quote:
Oh, I think I remember you! Boy, you're articulate for a 13 year old! Anyway, here's Amanda...

Hey!
I don't know, it's a paper kite in my room and I thought it looked nice, decided that that would be a good picture for my page! Dad and I always liked to fly kites, too.

Amanda and Tabitha

Dead end? So confused..

* SPLAT = @

*rolls about laghing*

"Articulate for a 13 year old" Laughing Not, you understand, that I'm suggesting you aren't...

I'm confused, too. Seems so much like a genuine person, yet linked to by what is very definitely an ARG.

Seems like this Tom guy is probably the girl's father - maybe we should ask what happened to him.

Blarg, my brain hurts

blog update!

And I think James is dead. I think I broke his neck, his heart has stopped. He's dead.

Everything has been left untouched on the computer, but there have been files added.

I have to take care of James's body, and I can't stay here much longer, although James said it was the only safe place he knew of.

Jesus, I need to go

Blimey. That's a shame, I rather liked James. I think I am going to ask Parliament about those other files... Yes, yes I will. Because I'm a nosy (and impatient) sod Razz

Another blog update! Two, in fact.

New .txt file:

As follows:

Draft
- - - -

Tom,

Tabitha is receiving the checks regularly. Checking with the source of funds, she has not inquired. I've talked to Amanda, she's doing fine.

They visit your gravestone every week, Amanda brings a kite she draws and puts it underneath a white rose.

James

I've buried James.

I'm supposed to be recalled within seven days. I'm going to go back to Methargo in two. I don't know whether this means death, as James promised it would. If all that he says is true, maybe I can find some information about locations of broadcast, maybe find a way to shut them down...


Sorry for the double post

I think it was mentioned at some point that Methargo were "transmitting" some unnamed signal on behalf of companies. Methinks Parliament knows a lot more than we do at this point.

Got an e-mail back.

Well absolutely. I'll listen.

I cannot talk right now or in the immediate future, but I'll sign onto AIM in about 2, 2 1/2 hours.

everywhereyougo5

That's my AIM. I'll talk to you soon.

Tabitha

Yeah I might not be here for that. I'm such a bad ARGer.

Of course we are real...

I can't believe James is dead, if everything on that page is true... We loved his visits...

That's Tom's signature. He worked for Methargo along with James... Please, we are not supposed to be talking about this.

They were friends of Tom and I. I'm not supposed to talk to any of them, but I did. To James.

We have to stop talking about this. Tom begged me to not let myself talk about it...

Please, for the safety of my daughter.

I thought Amanda was the daughter??? Maybe I'm just being pedantic again or her daughter was mentioned earlier and i'm being stupid (again).
