[EMAIL] from Dale 12 June - www.mystes.com

Got a response from my earlier email to Dale.

Dale wrote:

James,

First of all, thanks for the compliments about my comic book. I'm really glad
you liked it, and that it inspied you to spend some time trying to make sense
from my rambling thoughts and writings as shown on those Creator's
pages in the
back of the book. I can't believe you turned my scrambled writings into a poem
that actually makes sense, let alone finding some kind of hidden
message within
it. After that process, you have got to be thinking one of two things.

Either Dale really is crazy and they're cranking out copies of
Chasing The Wish
Book One from the patient's photocopy room at Klepsydra, or he's
doing anything
he can to sell his book. I'm sure you could make a case for either of those
right about now, but I promise you that all of this - the apparently hidden
messages, the interpretative meanings of my dreams, all of it - isn't
part of a
charade or sales gimmick, or anything of the sort. In fact, I'm convinced now
that there is indeed some deeper truth or purpose to it all, a
purpose I'm just
now beginning to understand.

You asked about the "mystes of avalon," the phrase from the poem in my dreams.
I'm not sure where, but I know I've heard that before. Have you seen this
website someone else sent me, www.mystes.com? In a similar way as the phrase,
that "M" symbol there seems familiar to me, though I can't place where or when
I might have come across it before.

I can tell you this. As crazy as it sounds, and at the risk of losing a fan of
my work, I know now that everything that is happening, from the story in my
dreams to the weird events going on around me, is a message, a warning of some
kind. And I refuse to be a victim this time, waiting around for something to
happen to me, or for someone else to solve my problems and find my answers.

There's something waiting, just beyond my vision and grasp, somewhere between
the worlds of fact and fantasy I've been co-inhabiting, in a region of my mind
too frightening to explore. It's time to look it in the face.

Dale

Seems as if the www.mystes.com site is familiar to him. So I guess that'd make it ingame? I'm going to send a response (later, in the morning) asking a few things about Klepsydra and possibly JD. Also going to imply a third option, that somehow maybe his dreams are all true, or premonitions.

Steffeny,

Wow, I can't believe you turned my scrambled writings from the Creator's pages at the back of Chasing The Wish Book One into a poem that actually makes sense, let alone finding some kind of hidden message within it. Or your friends did, anyway. You're not the only to write to me and tell me about finding this either, so there's obviously something going on here. In fact, I'm convinced now that there is indeed some deeper truth or purpose to it all, a purpose I'm just now beginning to understand.

I have to say this again as I did about the first game:
Even with the e-mails containing the same information, they have been personalized enough to show that someone has been reading what we send in and giving it that little bit of personalization that says we are more than just another outlet for information.

Thanks PM team. You Rock!

Here's the email I received from Dale - we need to take note of the pre-formated comments, I think.

About the Aglaura Library, I agree with you 106%. Sarah, the Head Librarian, and myself are working up a few different last minute plans to try and de-rail the proposed changes to the facility. I'll keep you posted on how that's going, I promise. I'm also going to go check out and sign the petition very soon. Thanks for the link.

Thanks also for the compliments about my comic book. The process of creating it was cathartic, in and of itself, but I'm learning that was just the beginning. In fact, I'm convinced now that there is indeed some deeper truth or purpose to it all -the apparently hidden messages, the interpretative meanings of my dreams, all of it - a purpose I'm just now beginning to understand.

I got a reply from him. I asked about Sarah, and then told him that the story in the book seemed familiar to me, too.

Jenna,

About the Aglaura Library, Sarah is holding up well under the
circumstances. She
and I are working up a few different last minute plans to try and de-rail the
proposed changes to the facility. I'll keep you posted on how they're going, I
promise.

Thanks also for the compliments about my comic book. it's really,
really strange
how you say it seems familiar to you. Not only have some of my close friends
said the same thing, but I've also had a similar experience happen with an
entirely different matter.

A few of the other readers of my comic book managed to somehow put
together the
scrambled poem that was part of the subconscious writings I included in
Chasing
The Wish Book One, and ended up at this website, www.mystes.com, from
the phrase
"mystes of avalon." The "M" symbol that is on that page feels incredibly
familiar to me, though I can't say why, as does the "mystes of avalon" phrase.

I'm convinced now that there is indeed some deeper truth or purpose to it all
-the apparently hidden messages, the interpretative meanings of my dreams, all
of it - a purpose I'm just now beginning to understand.
