Ha! You do that, too?

Anyway, I haven't gotten anything yet so I'm starting to wonder. Of course, as I am typing this out, I am sure that it will show up and I will need to edit/delete any existance of my stupidity (minus my spelling errors. Because then I would have no posts).

 		The one that I sent had the words:

"This is me being silent" written in white letters (so it couldn't be seen).

I checked my outbox and it's in there are being sent. I'm wondering if the auto program was having some problems with the letters. I'm going to send another one, just to be sure.

 		Wow, wish I didn't sleep so damn late, looks like I missed all the fun. On the plus side I have gotten in contact with Dr. Caulfield.

whatisthesilence (10:55:40 PM): fine, fine. cold, but fine.
Br0kenS0cial (10:55:44 PM): heh
Br0kenS0cial (10:55:50 PM): I have something I want you to see
Br0kenS0cial (10:55:53 PM): it's rather interesting
whatisthesilence (10:56:03 PM): really? do show me!
Br0kenS0cial (10:56:33 PM): http://mum.atspace.com/marcelvalentinlouiseugenegeorgesproust.html
Br0kenS0cial (10:56:41 PM): whoopsie
Br0kenS0cial (10:56:47 PM): ...seems as if the site is down
Br0kenS0cial (10:56:59 PM): sorry, but there was a site about "the silence"
Br0kenS0cial (10:57:06 PM): it was rather bizzare
whatisthesilence (10:57:17 PM): really? what did this site say?
Br0kenS0cial (10:57:21 PM): it says alot
Br0kenS0cial (10:57:23 PM): it mentions you
Br0kenS0cial (10:57:32 PM): my friends found the site
whatisthesilence (10:58:09 PM): quite strange. i see it has a timer of some sort. how did your friends find it?
Br0kenS0cial (10:59:10 PM): it was in the message that this person left for you
Br0kenS0cial (10:59:22 PM): how many stalkers do you know that set up websites?
whatisthesilence (11:00:10 PM): i only know one stalker, but i didn't know he set up a website! this is bizarre. it has a link to my mother's e-mail address!
Br0kenS0cial (11:00:22 PM): that's your mother's adress?
Br0kenS0cial (11:00:27 PM): we sent her some emails
Br0kenS0cial (11:00:32 PM): there was an auto-response
Br0kenS0cial (11:00:43 PM): (don't worry, nothing that would freak her out....too much...)
whatisthesilence (11:01:29 PM): hmm. well, i'm afraid she's passed on so those won't be of much use. why is the stalker so interested in my mother?
Br0kenS0cial (11:01:42 PM): Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that
Br0kenS0cial (11:01:50 PM): I really don't know..
whatisthesilence (11:01:52 PM): thank you
Br0kenS0cial (11:02:08 PM): did your mother have any aquantinces that were...a bit...off?
Br0kenS0cial (11:02:10 PM): in your eyes
whatisthesilence (11:02:54 PM): hmm. not really. she was a scientist. her acquiantences were very intelligent.
Br0kenS0cial (11:03:24 PM): well it's quite possible that the person doing this is very intelligent
whatisthesilence (11:03:57 PM): i would assume so. you say this website was found in that strange message i received?
Br0kenS0cial (11:04:05 PM): yes
Br0kenS0cial (11:04:09 PM): it was morse code
Br0kenS0cial (11:04:17 PM): then I beleive it was translated into binary
Br0kenS0cial (11:04:20 PM): then english
Br0kenS0cial (11:04:53 PM): it translates to: mumatspacecom
whatisthesilence (11:05:29 PM): very odd. this is getting weirder by the day! i didn't get a call today. perhaps it's because your friends decoded the message?
Br0kenS0cial (11:05:37 PM): perhaps...
whatisthesilence (11:05:59 PM): hmm. my heavens, i've just received a reply from my dead mother!
whatisthesilence (11:06:04 PM): this hacker must be one sick fellow
Br0kenS0cial (11:06:05 PM): oh my!
Br0kenS0cial (11:06:14 PM): are you sure it's not an auto-reply?
Br0kenS0cial (11:06:22 PM): the adress is programed to give them
Br0kenS0cial (11:06:26 PM): could I see it?
whatisthesilence (11:06:41 PM): hmm, perhaps you're right.
whatisthesilence (11:06:56 PM): well, i suppose i could forward it to you. what is your e-mail address?
Br0kenS0cial (11:07:06 PM): acrowleftinthemurderSPLATgmail.com
Br0kenS0cial (11:07:19 PM): feel free to contact me on that if you ever need to send me anything
Br0kenS0cial (11:07:27 PM): I'll make sure my friends get it
whatisthesilence (11:07:36 PM): most definitely! one moment
Br0kenS0cial (11:08:27 PM): sure
Br0kenS0cial (11:14:06 PM): is everything alright?
whatisthesilence (11:15:59 PM): yes, yes...i apologise. my e-mail is acting up.
Br0kenS0cial (11:16:06 PM): oh, no problems
whatisthesilence (11:19:10 PM): blast! you know what? i'm just going to post this on my journal later on. i really am sorry.
Br0kenS0cial (11:19:25 PM): it's ok
Br0kenS0cial (11:19:39 PM): I'll stay up for a bit and check it
Br0kenS0cial (11:19:46 PM): when do you think you'll have it up?
whatisthesilence (11:20:50 PM): oh, i suppose i could do it now. i really should be leaving anyway.
Br0kenS0cial (11:21:11 PM): you don't have to put it up right now
Br0kenS0cial (11:21:19 PM): but if you do, I'd really appriciate it
whatisthesilence (11:21:54 PM): oh, it's no problem! i should update anyway. i'll get on it right now.
Br0kenS0cial (11:22:01 PM): thanks a bunch

 		Ok, Journal update...

Quote:
Hello there,

I am not sure who you are, why you are leaving bizarre messages on my phone, or why you are posting my deceased mother's e-mail address on the internet, but I ask that you stop immediately. Quite frankly, I am sick of it. If this persists, I will contact the authorities. So, please, leave me alone! You're a sick, strange person.

Sincerely,
William Caulfield

The reply:

william:

if you are reading this, then i am surely dead. there are somethings you probably do not yet understand. but i can explain, william...just not here. there are eyes watching. watching and waiting. waiting for an excuse to hurt you. i can't tell you everything here...but it will all become clear on your thirtieth birthday. but for now, ask yourself this...

what is the silence?

what does it seek to accomplish?

how is it connected to you?

i know a little about these things, william. i would tell you here, but it is unsafe. there is a man that knows something, though. i'm sure you think he is insane, but he is a very important aspect of this whole ordeal. his name is tristram. he is from another place.

goodbye my son, and best of luck.

love,
mum



EDIT: I also wanted to mention these two LJs, just in case they're relevant...

http://tristram.livejournal.com/
and
http://thesilence.livejournal.com/

EDIT2: I found this one too, dunno if any of these are IG (probably not...)

 		Hey all. I'm a bit of a lurker (as the name implies), but I've been following along with this one. I sent out an e-mail to Josephine's address earlier in the day and got the auto-reply, but I just got this from her:

so crmped such a tiny littl place

Kinda creeped me out.
