My theory: drop her right in it. Contact Hendler and dangle the carrot, issue and few demands and move it forward. I'm sure it's what we're being asked to do in a reverse psychology sorta way.


I fear getting Hope mad at us so early in the game! Is there any way we can make sure she doesn't find out? Well, I'm befriending her, so I'm not saying anything to her dad. Very Happy But I'll definitely mention the birds. I'm sending a message right now to see if she has anything to say about them.

Ditto. I've managed to stay away from myspace for years and this development made me cave and create an account. Confused

So, which one of us is playing R Tobias? Is it you, Fizz? UK e-mail, tarot ...

Hm. A red video of birds. Red birds. Cardinals. St. Louis. You Came Along Way From St Louis. Marvin Gaye. It's like a six degrees game. Perhaps Hope is headed for St. Louis?

Hi McGritts,

Don't think it's tied in. You'd be surprised how many people use the same words or phrases for their stuff. But can you post a link so we can check it out?

By the way, I replied to Francheska's answer (after about four attempts - I'm still not sure she's involved). Playing the waiting game again.

Yup R Tobias is me, altertately, but not without good reason.
As you know I've had my theories regarding the constant nods to revealing her whereabouts, of course I have no intention of doing so but...
I received four odd instant messages on Yahoo Messenger whilst chatting to chum last night. All from a user named 'you know who' which I believe is how Lachlan 'M' referred to Hendler on his blog. Each message came about 15 minutes apart and the instigator would not respond to further probing. Each simply said 'move.' Which seemed to tie in with my theories about 'moving' this forward.
I wrestled with it but decided it was too uncanny to dismiss considering it came moments after I posted my musings.
I may well dispense with this if it looks as though things are going wayward but I'm sure and certain I was being given an ingame hint.

The 'six degrees game' is some stunning thinking. I'm sure your heading in the right direction with it.

I think we can safely say this is not related.

Searching "key bull", we've found information about bull breeding, stock market and bull trouts, but nothing that seems to be of any relevance. I think this is just one more example. Personally I believe Dr. Hendler was just using it as a figure of speech, meaning "utter nonsense".

Fizz, interesting stuff there. I made a "move" myself, commenting on one of Hendler's blogs and mentioning that "Pink Hour" store, but without mentioning Hope. But I fear we have to be more bold to instigate a reply. I'll post something new linking the two together.

No, I haven't had any comments on my own blog, though I've been namedropping it everywhere. Guess they only like playing with their own toys Rolling Eyes

So I looked at the video, Didn't find much.
I don't think there is anything hidden in it as far as i can tell, (Not an expert on Video), but i do notice the second of blackness before the audio cuts out.

What if the video doesnt cut but what we see is what happened. Everythnig just went black, like a blackout maybe????

The film is red because there is a "red filter" on it. essentially its a translucent red cover for the lens. By the way she refers to it and the comment about just getting the camera, I would say she didn't know much about cameras.


I believe you are mistaken fizz

Quote:
she does indicate that the 'red' video of the birds was filmed, 'found' on the video tape, without her knowledge


she had knowledge of the bird video being on the tape because she filmed it. She says the birds are hers back at home.

What I believe is the camera was Dr. Hendler's then at some point in time (possibly before the trip?) she received it as a gift, or stole it? recorded the bird video to see how it works: she didn't understand why the video was red and thats why it was shot through a filter, later noticed the filter and removed it possibly right before the testing..testing...321 video.

And another thing Shouldn't it be testing testing 123 instead of 321. Wonder if its backwards for a reason

I think trapped is a Video Tag because the birds are in a cage, but there has to be a reason for this i believe.

Dr Hendler updated his blog, i believe he is referring to us as "this following I have". Looks like Hope is in College, maybe that is something we could work with.




Oh and Mcgritts
the ignore the thing about johnny, its Schrijvertje
That post of mine was from a night research when i was a bit to inebriated

Agree we have to be more bold. The softly, softly approach is yielding nothing and more importantly DJ and 'M' seem to have ended their interactions leaving us less and less to go on.
Been wondering about the birds of course it's easier to see clues where there are none but:
If our 'quest' is to discover Hopes location then there is a Redbird in Oklahoma and is also a neighborhood in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas.
Less well defined but in In New York there are Redbird trains, the New York City subway cars that were painted a deep red. Of course there is the link to Virginia, Memphis has a minor league baseball team named the redbirds as does Chicago.
Nah, way too expansive.

Hendler has updated his blog talking about Hope in a calm, reasoned and empathic manner in much the same way that she responded to Mokey's mention of her father in a calm and collected manner - are we perceiving a threat where there is none? Is she simply a girl having some fun who doesn't want her father to find her? We have no bearing at all on who are the villians, if any, of the piece. It is 'our' assumption that Hendler is a bad guy.
Maybe we've got it all wrong?

Yougetmehigh, I stand corrected. You are right. Her message with regards to birds confused me at first but I accept that she recorded it and simply forgot it was there.

Hi Mcgritts, I'm Johnny Cool Guess you might say I'm just taking this "infiltrating the enemy" thing pretty far. The MySpace blogs I have are for another game about "The 4400" (that's why I always put "Promicin" in the title, to separate it from my regular blogs), but I kinda lost interest in that.

I should tell you I've also got another blog going at www.maroonserpent.blogspot.com, in case you see it and think it's related (well, it is related but not in the way you'd think).

I've asked Hope about the birds in a comment. No idea.

Nice research on red birds, fizz.

Since she mentioned a motel, I went looking for a Red Bird Motel or something like that. Nothing concrete, though. Same with Cardinal Motel, should those birds prove to be cardinals.

Mm. We have the doc. We have Hope. What about the third member of a "normal" family? Couldn't the loss of the mother have brought them to their current situation?
