 		Ok thinking about this, isnt this similar to the information posted last year on Higgs Blogger?
The iamhiggsboson one?


Could it be Higgs who has been "possessed" by the dog of el portal?
Because remember he talked about dogs, and the howling etc in his blog?

His post was called"The Boy of Dogtown"
and then he talks about his dream and how the dog BARKS and BARKS and all the "barks" are in capital letters?

Oooh, good idea to compare the lyrics.
On his MySpace wrote:
OH, WHAT A NOBLE, DISTINGUISHED COLLECTION
OF FINE LITTLE FRIENDS YOU HAVE MADE
HITTING THE TABLES WITHOUT YOU AGAIN
NO, WE'LL WAIT, NO, WE PROMISE WE'LL WAIT
WELL JUNE MAKES THESE EXCELLENT SEWING MACHINES
OUT OF COMMON INDUSTRIAL WASTE
SHE SPENDS A FEW MONTHS AT A TIME ON THE COUCH
BUT SHE'S SAFE, SHE WEARS SHADES, SHE WEARS SHADES
AH BUT NO ONE CAN STARE AT THE WALL HELP AS GOOD AS YOU, MY BABYDOLL
AND YOU'RE ACES FOR COMING ALONG
YOU'RE ALMOST HUMAN AFTER ALL
AND YOU'RE LEARNING THAT JUST CAUSE THEY CALL THEMSELVES FRIENDS
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'LL CALL
THEY MADE THE COMMENT IN JEST
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE NEEDLE
I GUESS THAT'S THE POINT OF IT ALL

MAYBE A WEEK IN THE TROPICS WOULD HELP
TO REMIND YOU HOW NICE LIFE CAN BE
WE PROPPED YOU RIGHT UP IN A CHAIR ON THE DECK
WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE SEA BUT
A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WE CAME BACK
AND YOU AND THE CHAIR WERE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN
YOU HAD MAGICALLY MOVED TO THE CLOSET
EYES FIXED TO THE PLACE WHERE THE DRYER HAD BEEN
AH BUT, NO ONE CAN STARE AT THE WALL AS GOOD AS YOU, MY BABYDOLL
AND YOU'RE ACES FOR PLAYING ALONG (COMING ALONG)
YOU'RE ALMOST HUMAN AFTER ALL
WHY ON EARTH WOULD I KEEP YOU PROPPED UP IN HERE
WHEN YOU SO LOVE THE FALL?
THE PATTERN'S LAID OUT ON THE BED
WITH DOZENS OF COLOURS OF THREAD
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE NEEDLE
I GUESS THAT'S THE POINT IN THE END

IT'S BETTER TO WASTE YOUR DAY WATCHING THE SCENERY HELP CHANGE AT A COMATOSE RATE
THAN TO PUT HELP YOURSELF IN IT AND TURN INTO ONE OF THOSE CIGARETTE ADS THAT YOU HATE
BUT WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING SOME MEN CAME AROUND
SAID THEY HAD SOME DIMENSIONS TO TAKE
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
BUT THEY SURE MADE A MESS OF YOUR FACE
AH BUT STILL NO ONE CAN STARE AT THE WALL AS GOOD AS YOU, MY BABYDOLL
HELP AND YOU'RE ACES FOR PLAYING ALONG
YOU'RE ALMOST HUMAN, EVEN NOW
AND JUST CAUSE THEY SAY CALL THEMSELVES EXPERTS DOESN'T MEAN SWEET FUCK ALL (that they're)
THEY'VE GOT HELP THE PERMANENT PRESS
AND HOMES WITH A STABLE ADDRESS
AND THEY'VE GOT EXCITEMENT
AND LIFE BY THE FISTFUL
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE NEEDLE
I GUESS THAT'S THE POINT OF IT ALL


I found those two HELPS. The other differences could be just from different versions of the lyrics available.



I've marked three more "HELPs" in green, for a total of five.

Deep breath. Jayne and I went by Higgs' apartment last night around 9. We knocked but he did not answer. The curtains were drawn, so we couldn't look inside. Jayne had the great idea to speak with a neighbor. His neighbor, who is the sweetest older lady, pulled us into her apartment and whispered that she thinks Higgs' is doing some kind of drugs. She said she can't say for sure, but that the evidence points in this direction. She said that she sees a man visiting Higgs' late at night. The man comes every night and only stays for a few minutes. She also said that immediately following this short visit, she hears strange noises coming from Higgs' apartment. She described it as some kind of howling followed by an odd laugh. She also said that one of their neighbors upstairs said that he saw Higgs running naked down the street three nights ago around 3 in the morning. Jayne and I tried his door again before we left, but he still didn't answer. Jayne said she could hear tapping inside - I listened but could not hear it. I barely slept last night. What has happened to my sweet friend?

 		SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN

Minds are being posessed. Looks like we protected Peeps in time, but apparently not Addison (where did he go???) and not Higgs.....is it too late to bring Higgs back?

(meta) or is the PM taking them out of the story - bummer (/meta)

Edit to add: I couldn't open MrAJ's MySpace this morning. Just got a blank page. Question Opened again. No change seen.

 		[UPDATE] Mr. AJ's Myspace
The title of the June 3rd entry (used to read "One Down") now reads "Two Down". Still a picture of the blue-brick door.

Sad

No other changes that I can see.

Higgs left a message for Kona on her myspace:

Quote:
How many times can you say help? Don't knock again!


and I thought whatever was possessing him had just made him mean. But then I thought, just maybe he was saying something else.

In the source code, I find:
Code:

I'm at work and have some stuff coming in right now, so I can't search/research this thoroughly right now, but I wanted to post it for y'all.

Edit: The poem is "Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Edited for clarity...

 		October found that when viewing the HELP blog in Firefox, she could see the stanzas divided up so that the first letter in each spelled out "FIND TM".

I'm sure the code is how to reach TM via hushmail.

 		In the entry "Three Down" Mr. AJ is listening to Edison Woods - Seven Principles of Leave No Trace. Maybe Edison = Addison?

Quote:
HE IS MISSING. SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED TWICE. THE GATES HAVE OPENED AND CLOSED. NOW HE HAS THREE. ANOTHER MAY SLIP INTO THE ARMS OF EIDOLON TONIGHT. SAVE THE BOY, KONA! THIS DOG OF EL PORTAL WILL CONTINUE TO BARK AND HOWL! SAVE THE BOY, KONA! BEG MITHRAS!


I think Higgs is gone (we sent Happy to look again). DAMN!

Saving Ben? Or Saving Dwin?

BEG MITHRAS??? An anagram. Or we have to pray to the ghod?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithras
Quote:
Mithras was the central god of Mithraism, a syncretic Hellenistic mystery religion of male initiates that developed in the Eastern Mediterranean in the 2nd and 1st centuries BC and was practiced in the Roman Empire from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD.

Edit to add: Happy posted a LJ this morning.

What is going on?
Last night was a disaster! We went by Trinket's and she's gone! Nothing is there! No curtains on any of the windows so we could see inside! The apartment is empty! What is going on?! Where is she? And on top of that, Higgs did not come to the door! Let me take a deep breath and calm down. Okay. As you suggested, kona, we did speak with Higgs' landlady and she said he has asked her to keep people away. I told her we were concerned for his safety and she waved us off and said he's a busy man. She then asked us to leave the property. We waited until all the lights were out and then Jayne snuck up and listened by his door. She said she could hear the tapping again. On top of all of this, the hospital phoned not five minutes ago and said that Ben had a horrific night. I'm heading over there now to see him. I will give you guys an update this afternoon.
I'm trying to stay Happy

You always count the letters from the beginning: "FROMC HILDH OODSH OURIH AVENO TBE"

=> "HE IS BEHIND THE BLUE DOOR"

But no luck with HEISBEHINDTHEBLUEDOORSPLAThushmail.com Sad

What about just behindthebluedoorSPLAThushmail, or even bluedoor or thebluedoor?

I'd rather not send the emails myself because I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing - I'll do better watching and learning character interaction from the Elder Sammeeeees for now.

Obviously, though, this has something to do with Mr. AJ's blue door.

Does protect the boy mean protect Ben? Or Dwin? Or both?

I`m the only person who says wrong things because my spelling is so bad.

Please send emails. Smile
