 		[EMAIL] 7/4 Eidolon Wants More Souls - Secret Mission
- is the sacrifice worth it?
Quote:
Greetings my devoted Nymphus Kona Pumpkin!!!

You have proven yourself to be quite a pillar of my temple. Your Eidolon wonders if you would be interested in providing him access to another soul. Simply... I seek another Sammeeeee or white rose. Are you friendly with the Sammeeeee named Betty? Or perhaps the Sammeeeee named Enaxor? I believe Enaxor or Betty would make a lovely addition to our flock. I hate to think about so many out there, while we are enjoying ourselves. If you feel in your heart that you could deliver just one, your Eidolon would be grateful. The choice is yours. The path back is not simple, but you are obviously able. If granted this pass, you may move back and forth between our dark temple and the world of mortals while you search. Mull these words, my devoted pet, Sine sole sileo.

The Sammeeeees and white roses are hiding well. You must be very clever.

Cheers to life!!!

Warm Regards,

Your Eidolon

 		[EMAIL] 7/4 Eidolon
Quote:
Greetings Nymphus Pumpkin!!!

I hope you are enjoying your stay in my glorious temple. We spoke the other day about obtaining another soul. You must know, Nymphus Methos Pumpkin, that I must have more. I would love to have either the habitually happy Happy Rogers or one of the pesky white roses. Mildred Harnack would be best since she poses the greatest threat to my dark temple. If one of these two cannot be obtained, bring me another of the Sammeeeees. Betty or Drizabella would be nice additions to my collection.

Please let me know if you are able to deliver any of the above mentioned souls. If so, I will grant you access to the path back to the living.

Cheers to life!!!
Warm Regards,
Your Eidolon

Did I tell you that I moved into a really nice cell ... eh ... flat and you really should stop by for a visit Twisted Evil

 		Solved in chat
In the source Methos found:
Code:
prove to Mithras and moi you are worthy of this pass send this message and the translation to your Eidolon


There are latin words on each of the pictures.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Methos put them together like a puzzle to make the sunspot picture we've seen before. The phrase is "sub secreto sub silentio cortitero tanta stultitia mortalium est".
Link to the picture.

The translation by Mapmaker & konamouse:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"In secret, in silence, I confess what fools these mortals be." Note that "Lord, what fools these mortals be" is said by Puck in Act III, Scene II of A Midsummer Night's Dream.


Edit to add:
A few questions and other things occurred to me.

1. Did Taluria (Maiden of the Light) also get a similar offer? She has previously exchanged emails with our Eidolon so that is possible. Be interesting to see if she has an email, and if so, what Sammeeeees/White Roses are named in hers. Cause I'm looking at what we have in common. So far, it's only Betty. So Betty is probably the most at risk and easiest. If we do this.

2. We sort of have to agree to this mission, else we are not devoted pets. But that doesn't mean we have to be good at it. It could take a lot of effort and time to find her (she's been away from us for awhile).

3. How do we explain our ability to leave the temple? Do we continue our Darkside mission yet tell our Sammeeeee friends that we are somehow able to function (like Patricia was able)? The UNBC would know we are still in the temple if they are watching the Raven Cells. But perhaps they are not watching those pages since they are dark pages and would expose them to the portal if they see them. That might be the easiest explanation. The Eidolon would have to change his soul number if he let us go (and what reason would he give???). I don't want to stop doing our original mission - gaining access to the inner sanctuary to find the portal from the inside.

/me has a very weird mind that goes in a million directions while walking and while in the shower.

4. Does the Pater expect us to know about eachother. In both emails posted he did not mention making this offer to another of his nymphus. Or are we suppose to NOT know there are more than one nymphus working on the same task? Goodness knows we don't each want to target different folks - cause that would bring him way too close to his goal of 30. I don't think we are ready for that yet.

So, what do you guys think about this new twist? Remember, this was done in email so technically no one else knows about this. The response with the phrase seems to be a coded response for those sent this offer.

 		So sorry I havent been on! Embarassed
I just checked my mail and I do have a similar e-mail. This was a response fom our Eidolon after I told him I had not heard of the Dancing and Singing Nun before I crossed over.

Quote:
Greetings my sweet Maiden of light Nymphus Pumpkin!!!

Although I would love to have the Singing and the Dancing Nun joins us, it is souls that I seek. Any Sammeeeee or white rose will satisfy your Eidolon. Do you believe you can bring me an "easy" one? That would make my toes curl with glee. The path out is not easy, my sweet Maiden of light Nymphus Pumpkin. If you feel you can find your way, I will grant you a pass. You may move back and forth between the over populated world of the mortals and our deliciously dark temple. Mull these three words... Sine sole sileo. Prove to Mithras that you should be given this power.

Cheers to life!!!

Warm Regards,

Your Eidolon


Note, no specifics were requested... the reason it says "easy" in that way is because in the mail I sent him previously I posed a question on who it would be easy to reach across to.

 		I had a hunch you would have gotten the same task.

We're waiting on the answer from Eidolon on if we are to join together on this venture, or not suppose to know we're all doing the same thing.
Methos sent an email today (but it's the middle of the night right now in Germany) so we'll probably know by tomorrow morning.

I suppose we will all agree, but then take our own sweet time about it? Betty is probably the easiest. When I send in my code phrase tomorrow I'm going to ask about the rest of my concerns (i.e. how do we explain ourselves - or do we?, etc).

Greetings my darling, yet nosy, Nymphus Pumpkin!!!

I do not know how many from our dark and glorious temple will accept my kind and generous offer. To receive this pass and come to and fro is an honor not all my Pumpkins feel they can handle. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask your dear Pater. I am here for you, my Nymphus Pumpkin!!! You should know that as you pass back into the mortal world, many may fear you. They may know or suspect that your soul has been to the dark temple. You must be careful not to scare these souls away. Approach with care. Most importantly, try to be your old self when faced with your former pals. You might find that you have adjustment problems going back and forth. Some do suffer and find themselves simply lurking as they search... much like a ghost would. Whatever works, Pumpkin. The goal is to bring Pater a soul of a Sammeeeee or white rose. Do not tell anyone about this dark mission. If I have a response from any others here in our dark temple, I will send you as ! a team. You may even have your very own Trinity.

Come to me when you have found your way. There is more you should know.

Cheers to life!!!
Warm Regards,
Your Eidolon

Methos, Taluria & konamouse, the new Trinity? Laughing

So he'll let us know about eachother after/if we accept. Maybe he'll help us with our "story" after we accept?

I'm still waiting to hear what other players think of this new development. But I know that we would probably not be able to lure drizjr & enaxor. They will be too wary to have direct contact with us, even if they think we were kicked out or something.

So we can't tell any Sammeeeees/White Roses what we are doing, even though we're all on the same side. Would Mildred want to try to work from the inside with us or stay on the outside with UNBC. I'm thinking she is more valuable outside. Our Singing Nun is helping to find the Trinity on the outside. Nedd needs to stay under the bed. Finding Jean Moulin so far has been a big goose egg (I sent out an email weeks ago with no response). Sounds like Barney thinks that Happy is "The One" so she might have to come inside the temple eventually (to lead us out???) but not yet. I don't think she is ready for that fight. Maybe near the end?

If I accept this, I won't be sending my reply until tonight.

Oh my dear Pater,
You present me, your humble little pet, with a most ambitious task. I
have found & understand your message. But I cannot go forth without
careful planning and consideration of how to proceed.

Sammeeeees know my zeal and they know I have been indisposed for
awhile (since I have not been answering emails, taking phone calls,
meeting for drinks with my former kin). They may have suspected my
adoration for Higgs may have led me to you (oh how true). So any
reappearence may be suspect. I will have to tread very lightly
amongst the unbelievers.

I know they have been keeping an eye on your wonderful pronouncements
- when I accept this glorious task, I know that any word of my
banishment will be accepted by them, and I will just have to remind my
heart that you still love me.

Shall I have anyone else working with me with whom I will be able to confide?

Love,
your nymphus kona kitten


I'm wondering if the Eidolon is heaving a sigh of exasperation at us yet.

Quote:
Greetings my Kona kitten Nymphus Pumpkin!!!

You may have "company" on your journey to retrieve these souls. I am still waiting to hear the words. Once I hear what is required, there will be more to tell.

Cheers to life, kitten Pumpkin!!!
Warm Regards,

Your Eidolon


I'll be sending him the quote in English.

Blech, I need to slow down when I'm not logged in (cause I can't edit).

The source said "send this message and the translation to your Eidolon"
so it seems both the Latin & the English.

 		*ding* Here's my reply to accepting this little mission.
Taluria wrote:

In secret, in silence, I confess what fools these mortals be.

I accept your request my Pater. However, I fear the Sameeeees will be exceedingly suspicious. I was a newcomer among them, and therefore they have all the more reason to distrust me. My reappearance may be suspect, but I will do my best for you. I will do my utmost to please you and prove my worth.

I was wondering if any of my felow initiates will accompany me? I mean the job at hand could be done by one of your Ravens or Brides, I feel sure... But it is helpful to have someone to work toward a common goal with.

Also, if you feel the name I have been using in your service is too long, you may also call me "Taluria". That is the name most of the Sameeeees know me by.

Your sweet Nymphus,
Maiden of Light


His reply:

Eidolon wrote:
Greetings Nymphus Taluria!!!

You are about to embark on your journey. I have decided I should like for you and two of your dark cell mates to seek out Mildred Harnack and the Sammeeeee named Betty. Both would be best. You will make this journey with Nymphus Methos and Nymphus Kona. Make it your vocation to first find and then haunt your victim with the image of the Trinity. If you can locate them, it does help to claw at their window. It appears to drive the white roses quite mad. When the soul has reached a particular level of madness, it is terribly vulnerable and can be easily captured. It is best if you can take the hand of the soul you seek and guide them back to our temple. I would hate to lose another to the "in between". The "in between" soul is still sacrificed to Mithras, but it would please me so to have them in a dark cell of their own, where I can keep them forever.

Your pass is only to retrieve those two souls. All other mortals will be safe in your presence. It will allow you to find the two we seek.


Step out of your dark cell and into the Nave.
Kneel before the altar.
Bow your head and beg Mithras for a safe and profitable excursion.
Drink the sweetened tea.
Close your eyes and say these words:

Transit umbra, lux permanet Mildred Harnack and Sammeeeee Betty

You will open your eyes to the mortal world.
Step into the sunlight and thank Mithras.

Your pass will be granted by Mithras for nine days. You may go back and fourth between your cell and this mortal world as many times as you would like. Please know that each journey back to the mortal world from your cell requires the steps given above.

I believe you understand the way back to your cell.

Cheers to life!!!

Warm Regards,

Your Eidolon

Greetings my rebellious Nymphus Katya Pumpkin!!!

You are a true warrior!!! Your Eidolon wonders if you might be interested in taking a journey back to the mortal world. Let me be frank, I must have the Singing and the Dancing Nun as soon as possible. I believe you are the Pumpkin to deliver this treasure to my feet! I have faith in your skills and your battle techniques. I happen to know you have a passion for poison. Have you ever poisoned a soul? The choice is yours. The path back is not simple, but you are obviously able. If granted this pass, you may move back and forth between our dark temple and the world of mortals while you search. Mull these words, my rebellious soon to be Warrior... Sine sole sileo.

This Singing and Dancing Nun is hiding well. Leave no stone unturned.

Cheers to life!!!

Warm Regards,

Your Eidolon


Do you get the feeling he thinks I'm a bit of a rogue? Very Happy

 		My email from Eidolon was pretty much the same as Taluria. I'm sure Methos will get a similar response.

Taluria & I have already returned our MySpace profiles to their former light selves.

We have nine days. I suggest we take our time. But I really don't want to be 100% successful. I had a suspicion that Mr AJ would seek others from his nave to work on this project; he needs 6 more souls afterall.

I propose we proceed cautiously and slowly. Betty & I had exchanged emails before we went into the nave. She may have noticed a change in my MySpace profile, but did anyone ever tell her what was really going on? Our UNBC and the WR know we went on a mission on all their behalf. And I suppose we can claim that Mr AJ kicked us out (cause he knew I was a false worshipper). That should get me in good stead with Betty. DoEP seems to be whispering suggestions about our mission, but UNBC can't have knowledge.

However, I propose that we are NOT successful in reaching Mildred. She shall be too hard to reach, too wary of any interaction with any of us. Her talents and skills are far too valuable to UNBC.

What do you think?
