Just got an email from Nancy

Well, I've got some weirdo stalking me and ransacking my house for a peice of paper that prbably lies beneath miles and miles of paper that my mom has pack ratted long since and after we moved from London which happened to be when I was like 2 or 3 years old, ((breathes)) and now there's some other weirdo named Angus or something that knows me and my father... wouldn't you classify that as drama?

As far as things go with my dad, he's been sick for like three weeks and as of recently he's like a thousand times better.

I'm really more focused on the latter right now.

Nancy

Ah ha! Nancy lived in London! She is 26, so was born about 1980.. and moved from there when she was a few years old... we need to find out more about her mother's life and what she may have been involved in there.

New myspace bulletin:

Quote:

The sons of Loki began in 1979 as a religious group in London. They claimed they knew much about Armageddon, and that their faith would ensure those who followed would not perish. They were not well known, and those who did not join referred to them as a cult. The sons of Loki since then (up until they disappeared in the late 1980's) were dedicated to the worship of the Chaotic One, who they called "Fenris". The best way that I could contrast our differences of belief is to compare your Christian faiths with that of Satanism. That which we believe to be right, they believe to be wrong. They have missionaries, who are more like "secret agents" that move about and search for evidence of Fenris' return.

We think that they moved underground until recently, and had much time to study and develop and become stronger.

Chat with Sladius:

Quote:

MountainGirlXD: How are you?
Sladius: I'm good, how bout you?
MountainGirlXD: I'm great
Sladius: Good. I took some more pictures today... they came out pretty well I think.
MountainGirlXD: I saw them! They are good
MountainGirlXD: you're getting handy with the camera
Sladius: Thanks. The checkerboard Lili made for me. She's so great.
Sladius: I mean friend wise.
MountainGirlXD: of course
MountainGirlXD: How is Father Enoch?
Sladius: It's so ridiculous, we have a curfew now, thanks to whoever was scratching at Father Weston's door this morning. I think he's just getting old. Enoch is still sleeping, no surprise there. We are waiting on some couriers to bring back some Valerian and Mandrake so we can perform an extraction.
MountainGirlXD: Scratching?
Sladius: Yes, pretty odd, but then again what around here hasn't been.
MountainGirlXD: What do you think we're dealing with here?
Sladius: A senile old man?
MountainGirlXD: heh
MountainGirlXD: How is Lili?
Sladius: Beutiful.
Sladius: Wonderful, I mean.
MountainGirlXD: You're smitten
Sladius: She's good.
Sladius: fine.
MountainGirlXD: Have you told her how you feel?
Sladius: Er, no.
MountainGirlXD: Maybe she feels the same
Sladius: Well, Arius does'nt want me talking to here because of the brandy incedent.
MountainGirlXD: the brandy incident? I'm not sure I remember that
MountainGirlXD: Oh wait yes i do
MountainGirlXD: You can hardly be blamed for that
Sladius: Thanks, but I guess I should take up some responsibility there.
Sladius: I'm just as much at fault.
MountainGirlXD: That is a nice checkerboard she made for you
Sladius: Thanks, I think so too, but since Arius has been working in XIII, I haven't had anyone to play it with.
MountainGirlXD: That stinks. Have you tried playing a game on your terminal?
Sladius: No, not yet, exept for this thing advertising something where you have to catch a monkey and win money, but after I caught the monkey, it wasn't fun anymore.
Sladius: Plus, I never got any money.
Sladius: WHOA! Hold on one moment, Diana just came in crying
MountainGirlXD: Oh, is she ok?
Sladius: I can't understan her. she's keeps saying she saw a Lougarou.
MountainGirlXD: That's a werewolf
Sladius: I had better walk her over to XIII. I'll be back shortly.

A werewolf is afoot. Aroooooo. A werewolf from London? Wink

Lupeus Eternus 30:44

The lone village however, will not be safe, for it was these men who worshipped a dark god that shall bring about much pain and misery and sorrow.

New blood will be spilled, the clouds will become dark, the moon radiant.

Men will become wrath, dwelling in the night.

Email from Arius.

Quote:

Nancy should be alright as of now, as our divinations seem to show her continuously evading the sons of loki.

I write more on this after I tend to two students who just walked in.

Arius

I guess it's Sladius and Diana.

On Elswick's blog there is this in binary:

Sophism

*EDITED for new info

Arius signed on:

Quote:

AriusXI: Good evening, MG.
MountainGirlXD: good evening, Arius
MountainGirlXD: Is everything allright? Are Diana and Sladius safe?
AriusXI: I am suggesting that Sladius apologize for the stir of panic. I have posted a bulletin on my space to clear things up. I hope this disturbance did not ruin your night.
MountainGirlXD: Not at all.
AriusXI: Good. I need to address all of Gatewood right now before this becomes to much to handle.
AriusXI: Have a good evening.
MountainGirlXD: You too.

From MySpace Bulletin:

Quote:

Please take note that there are some things that appear to be other things when moving about in darkness.

Firstly, there are no such things as Lougarou. They are mythical creatures thought up to scare children. They stem from the writings in the Great Text about the Chaotic One, namely the last chapters.

I have heard about the howlings and scratching sounds that Father Weston reported, and even Father Weston agrees that he may have dreamed this.

Please do not be frightened, as there are more important things at hand right now.

Brother Sladius has shown me the markings on the tree, and they don't seem to be "claw" marks. It appears that some bark has simply rotted off the tree, and this is a fine example of how we can easily become confused.

Furthermore, the deaths of Anna and Athena have not been forgotten.

There is a killer among us, causing further damage upon our psyche by making us believe that what is happening here is of mythical or fictional roots.

When Father Enoch regains consciousness, I will bring these topics to his attention, and you will see how absurd these "accounts" really are.

The Great One would not let us perish in such a fashion, as to die by the hands of his own blood.

May the Wolf guide you all.

Brother Arius

At the bottom of Elswick's blog it says:

Quote:

Nihilo Ex Nihilo.
You want the word. That's what you've come for. My advice is, don't ask! Do as I do! Seek out gold--but not my gold--and guard it!

So is perhaps this Elswick our Angus? And what of this word "sophism"? I tried it as a camouflage password but no luck yet.

So, I reiterate. Couldn't Sladius, or Enoch, or possibly all the people of Gatewood be were-creatures?

I must tell you, CaineVIVIVI is on AIM right now.
I will post my chat with him.

Here. I have bolded the (what appears to be) encrypted message.

Quote:

[21:44] ninjapirate777: Hello.
[21:44] CaineVIVIVI: Hello.
[21:45] ninjapirate777: How was your day?
[21:46] CaineVIVIVI: Full of that which I predicted would come to pass.
[21:46] ninjapirate777: Really. Exact events?
[21:48] CaineVIVIVI: Arius ignoring what will eventually destroy Gatewood, more power being gained by those wishing to provoke the events of Chapter 30.
[21:49] ninjapirate777: Interesting. Are you against Arius, then?
[21:49] ninjapirate777: Do you feel he is ignorant?
[21:50] CaineVIVIVI: Inorance is prominent in him, I feel sorry for him.
[21:50] ninjapirate777: As is natural. But which is better - pity or hatred?

Yes, a triple post.

Quote:

MountainGirlXD: Greetings
MountainGirlXD: Long time no see
CaineVIVIVI: Indeed. How have you been holding up?
MountainGirlXD: Great and yourself?
CaineVIVIVI: Just watching the circus.
MountainGirlXD: Things have gotten stranger in Gatewood, huh?
CaineVIVIVI: I'll say.
CaineVIVIVI: I knew this day would come.
CaineVIVIVI: The Lougarou are viscous creatures. Arius will regret the day he turned the other way.
MountainGirlXD: who is the other?
CaineVIVIVI: other way... not other away.
CaineVIVIVI: I don't blame you, all this is pretty tough to swallow.
MountainGirlXD: Are you saying Father turned toward the darkside?
CaineVIVIVI: No, I'm saying that Arius is ignoring the warning signs of their presence.
CaineVIVIVI: My, my. Jumpy tonight are we?
MountainGirlXD: Yes, actually I am.
MountainGirlXD: I'm growing more concerned for the safety of those in Gatewood.
CaineVIVIVI: Understandable. So Enoch has told me you were pretty good with numbers...
MountainGirlXD: I do what I can
CaineVIVIVI: 656C7769636B = 656C65616E6F72 = 636F6E667573696F6E
CaineVIVIVI: easy math. Don't let your guard down.
MountainGirlXD: interesting
MountainGirlXD: Is this a test?
CaineVIVIVI: Not at all. Just some info to keep things from getting complicated any further.
CaineVIVIVI: So I see you have befriended the girl who holds the second page.
MountainGirlXD: yes I have
MountainGirlXD: At least I think she has the second page
MountainGirlXD: How do you know she has it?
MountainGirlXD: Have you been watching her?
CaineVIVIVI: I have been watching everyone. As I said, never let your guard down.
MountainGirlXD: I see what you mean. Easy math
MountainGirlXD: What do you know of the Sons of Loki?
CaineVIVIVI: They are a bunch of lunatics (I use the word loosely) who are bent on Chapter 30.
MountainGirlXD: The end you mean?
CaineVIVIVI: The end of humanity, the world will still be here.
MountainGirlXD: So they're searching for the pages, too?
CaineVIVIVI: That's exactly what they need. The incantations at the bottom of the pages, specifically.
CaineVIVIVI: Word of advice... try not to read those aloud.
MountainGirlXD: Perhaps that is why Father needs the pages, to stop them.
CaineVIVIVI: I was under the impression that Father was the one who wanted to invoke, but my opinion has since changed.
MountainGirlXD: really?
CaineVIVIVI: I did not realize the Sons of Loki were still around.
MountainGirlXD: Father is quite ill you know.
MountainGirlXD: Do you know Lili?
CaineVIVIVI: I know. What you need to remember is to be weary of who you trust. The incantations can be read foward or backwards, for evil or good. As for Lili...
CaineVIVIVI: We have spoken about revolution together under many moonlit skies...
CaineVIVIVI: Her opinions grew astranged from mine.
MountainGirlXD: Do you realize she can shapshift? From what I understand, that is a dangerous practice. One that Father no longer teaches.
CaineVIVIVI: I will not pretend to assume that the students of Gatewood are not capable of such things, but I have yet to see it as well.
MountainGirlXD: Who do you think is wanting to evoke now? Are there members of the Sons of Loki in Gatewood?
CaineVIVIVI: There are no members of Loki in gatewood, however they may have someone inside working for them. There are at least 150 people in Gatewood, so it wouldn't exactly point anyone out.
MountainGirlXD: and what of the pages? Do you now think it safe to give them to Father/Arius?
MountainGirlXD: I'm sorry I'm just not sure who we're revolting against anymore
CaineVIVIVI: That is your choice. What do you feel in your soul?
CaineVIVIVI: One is already running about the premises.
MountainGirlXD: I feel that the pages must be kept out of the hands of those with ill-intent
MountainGirlXD: Our lady?
CaineVIVIVI: "It" will become "they" very quickly.
MountainGirlXD: Sorry, obviously I can't read this evening
MountainGirlXD: We need to find that one.
MountainGirlXD: I'm not liking Lili's shape-shifting abilities.
CaineVIVIVI: molap noan vonph faonts aqlo dosig.
CaineVIVIVI: Learn it well.
MountainGirlXD: What is that?

656C7769636B = 656C65616E6F72 = 636F6E667573696F6E

It's the same phrase I decoded here. It's Enochian, and it was on the bottom of Enoch's post on Oct 31.

molap noan vonph faonts aqlo dosig.

And the passages:

GENESIS 23:4
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight

Job 21:7
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

So my only question, based on hatty's decoding of caine's note - Elwick: Jacker? Base64 doesn't fit in the general style of things... Blech - as if things weren't confusing enough.

Paper with initials?

Among all the stuff I've been digging through, I came upon a paper with initials on it.

A.C. C.E. M.K. M.N. E.G.

I have no idea what these are, so don't bother asking. Its dated November 10, but no year.
