Yet more Wizard of Oz references, and a little bit of Intruige to go with it!

It seems that Eva has no recollection of writing the codes, how she got a hold of names and addresses, and has an irrational fear of the armed forces! Could she be part of a military experiment?

Hi Jon,

I kind of like the idea of a house called ToyLand - reminds me of The Wizard Of Oz, Munchkin Land.

But the idea of Nissan huts and RAF activity really gives me the creeps for some reason. I actually feel like I've got a migraine coming on now. I really don't remember anything about codes and numbers, I just wrote the letters. I don't even know how I knew everyone's name and address suddenly. Sorry to get all serious. I don't feel well, I'm going to try and sleep.

be seeing you

Eva

Hi Eva,

All the houses on our side of the street have a name - but the ones opposite all have numbers. No idea why! We have a house called Sherwood next to us, and other names like ToyLand and Swiss Cottage, and ours used to be called Beralta (yuck!) until we changed it after moving in, to Speedwell.

Most of the houses on our estate are old converted Nissan huts, relics of the RAF activity in the area.

I'm sure it wasn't a scribble - it's definitely "G4" - and I know other people have recieved letters with codes on the back too. Oh well, if you're sure it wasn't intentional....

I look forward to the blog update!

Asked Ava about the numbers

Quote:
Hi Jazz,

Please send me a photo of you putting the poster up - it will cheer me up a lot.
Why are you talking about numbers on envelopes?

be seeing you

Eva



On Mon Jan 22 22:01 , 'Jazz' sent:


Hey Eva,
I hope I can help you find Erwin....he seems like a lovely cat. I just received your Lost poster for Erwin the other day. I'll send you the picture another time. I'm just wonder why there were numbers on the envelopes and on the letters that were sent out.

Jazz


So this is the email I sent the other day and the response from Ava. That was a really fast response. I figured I'd get a response within a longer amount of time. Definitely emailing a pic with the cat poster soon.

Hey there. I've heard about Erwin, I'm willing to help you look for him. If you have any more information about that rabbit hole, I'm rather curious.

Hi Rekidk,

Thank you for sending me the link to your video. It's amazing that you care enough to make a video for me! You really are a good friend. I'm thinking about all the things you said in it. My head is very fuzzy this week and I'm finding it hard to concentrate on answering my emails. I'm still working on my Youshi essay - the deadline is upon me. I'm hoping the Youshi products will come in the post soon!

be seeing you

Eva

Rekidk wants to share a video with you

Video Description
I wanted to send a Video to Eva, and couldn't find anywhere else to host it, so now it's on YouTube.

I am not associated with Eva in any way. I am just a person trying to send her a video.

Personal Message
Hey, Eva! This is Rekidk--I've been talking with you through email. I decided that, since you make such nice video blogs, I wanted to send you a video email, just for fun. It has pics of my cat, as well as some talk about Youkin that I think you should consider. Check it out. Smile

Thanks,
Rekidk

just chiming in here, got an email from Eva, nothing new mind, but at last I feel part of the game Smile

Quote:

Hi Karl,

Nice to hear from you. Thank you for your offer to help - if you think you see Erwin please take a photo of yourself with the cat and send it to me! I haven't got msn set up at the moment but I'll look into it.

be seeing you!

Eva

Hi Eva,

I stumbled across your blog almost by accident at work today (things
sometimes get boring in the office). Hope everything's OK and the search
for Erwin isn't too hopeless. I'm willing to help ou in any way
possible. That Youshi stuff looks awful though - how did you bring
yourself to drink it?

Oh yeah before I go, nice to see another fan of The Prisoner. Do you
have MSN? if you want to chat anytime, my msn address is
authorised_187SPLAThotmail.com

Be seeing you!

Karl

Had a reply from eva today, nothing particularly interesting i dont think, except perhaps that Prof Wilson wanted to keep a close eye on Eva.

Quote:
Hi Stu,

So you applied for a place at SRI? Good luck! Apparently it's really hard to get in - I think I got my place because Prof. Wilson wanted to keep an eye on me!
My foot's still been very sore but the parcel of Youshi came today so that was exciting!

be seeing you

Eva



On Mon Jan 22 16:10 , Stu sent:

Hi Eva,

Just dropping you a line to see how you're doing (the foot and the essay)?

I was wondering, did you ever receive that parcel from Prof Wilson to help with your essay?

It seems that we are enrolled at the same place! Coincidence eh.....

Take care

Stu



*EDIT* Go easy on me as its my first ARG, but could there be any significance in the way in which Eva signs off all her emails i.e all lower case 'be seeing you'?

[Email] From Eva- Jan. 26th
Eva can't see anything at subject180287.net

After the NLPEXP video, Eva is informed of the it and oddly, she can't see anything at that site. So I guess in a meta sense, she's not meant to know about what's on it...?

Hi Drizabella,

Unusual name you've got! Nice to meet you. Other people have mentioned that they saw this video with me in it - I can't see anything at that site. I'm glad you're still looking for Erwin for me, please let me know if you see him. this is all so puzzling.

be seeing you

Eva

What I sent:

subject: An Image of Erwin Spotted

Dear Eva,
You have probably received quite a few unusual emails from strangers lately. Add this one to the lot.
I understand that you have lost your precious cat, Erwin. I am one of the many looking for him.
A few of your new friends decoded the odd letter number combinations that appeared on the missing cat posters and envelopes that you sent them.
It lead to http://www.subject180287.net/NLPEXP.html
But I must warn you first, that this video shows you falling down some stairs, and lying at the bottom of them. It is rather disturbing.
(I'm so thankful to know that you are OK after that.) It also shows Erwin at the very end of it.

This video and the website that it appears on, raises more questions than answers.
Do you recognize the other person near the end of the video?
Do you recognize that location?
Could you have momentarily stepped into another dimension as the guys from Time Hole describe?

I will try to do whatever I can to help you, but I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

Sincerely,
Drizabella Juniorini

I sent her a similar email regarding the video, Drizjr. I tried to give her a little bit of summary of the video and warned her to take some precautions as someone may be watching her. This was her response:

Hi Rekidk,

I went to that site you mention but I couldn't see anything at all, it was just black with a kind of white noise sound. I can't really concentrate today and can't quite take in what you're saying. I'll have a lie down and see how I feel later.

be seeing you

Eva


So, yeah, she's not supposed to know about the site. *whoops* However, is it possible that her trouble concentrating could be due to Youshi? Or is that just to make sure that her character didn't understand the info I gave her in the email?

Thinking back to the concept of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, could it be that Eva has been conditioned to not see anything on that site? So her brain tells her what she's seeing is not there, and the site just comes out as a black screen with white noise playing?

IMO, I think that the PMs are giving us clues via Eva that there is a puzzle in the sound on that site. Notice how she points out puzzle in your email driz and noise in yours rekidk. I don't have the software to work with wave form or the know how, so if someone could do that it would be nice. If no one can then we need to ask for help from the unfiction community.
