 		[Update] New messages, leaves -- Library of Babel
Unless I was completely blind before,
http://perplexcityacademy.com/libraryofbabel/
has changed...
Theres a new message covered by leaves, here's the transcript:

Quote:

I realise I should tell you what happened. So that you'll understand. Because I'm going to need your help. I only hope that you find this first. I know that there are others looking, that they may find what I have hidden. So, help?


Edit: Split topic from original LoB thread - lhall

Apparently it updated about 15 minutes ago. Good find!

Hm, more botanical designs to consider. What type of leaf is that?

Also, the title is "Begin at the beginning". Exciting Cube-theft narratives! Razz

 		Next page:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To get to the next page drag all the leaves off of the page. They will blow away. Moving the mouse over the next page reveals the text:

This is how it was, then, I stumbled onto it. I never intended to steal anything. In fact, it was more that it stole me. I touched it and we were gone. I didn't know that could happen. I didn't know anything. But I'm starting from the wrong place again. You'll have to excuse me. It's been a long time and I haven't known who I could tell, or if I could tell anyone.

 		3rd page -

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Click on the top left of the second page to get there, I kept the carriage returns in the same place in case it was important.

Begin at the beginning, then. I am a person, a real
person, a single individual in Perplex City. I buried the
Cube on Earth. And I will try to tell you how, but the hows
are less apparent than the whys, and even they
are obscure. Remember this: don't look for me, I know
you're already trying. Because those other people?
They're looking for me too. And if you find me, I don't
know who will travel with you.

Fellow-travellers can be dangerous: I should know.

 		Has anyone found a fourth page? It seems like there would be one? Would the five leaves have to do with anything?

 		I doubt there's anything past the third page, for now, if only because it starts "Begin at the beginning," matching the webpage's title.

Not that that's solid evidence.

I'm guessing its another manipulation with the leaves since they are back in this one.

 		Now the question is this:

Who was at the Academy the night of the party and wasn't seen afterwards, but wasn't a member of the covert team sent to steal the cube?

 		For reference, screen captures of the three phases of the "leaves" page. I can't find a fourth "page," but that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't one.

Maybe there is a missing janitor that we're not yet aware of? Smile Or it was Sente and now Sente's evil twin has taken over the Academy (he shaved off his evil goatee, of course, so that people wouldn't recognize him as the evil one.)

 		so then (and i'm off in a different direction) maybe the Cube didn't kill Hesketh Zeller, maybe he was transported to earth (or somewhere..)
