 		[VIDEO] Message from Higgs
- don't go back to the nave
It started with a comment post on WeAreSammeeeees from Nymphus.
There were two previous posts that were deleted but since I have it set up to email me every post, I got to see the other drafts.
The clue was LOOK INTO YOUR DARK CELL.

I went to http://ravenkonacell.blogspot.com/ and all the way back in the beginning (he dated it last year to keep it from being seen) was a short video of HIGGS!!! (I think my squeek of excitement scared the chat room).
Higgs wrote:
Hey, we need to talk. I have something to tell you guys.

I traced the video back to http://www.youtube.com/user/LeoHiggs
The comments on the video page says "You know where to look".

Back on MySpace there is a comment on my page:
Higgs wrote:
There is so much to see in the temple.


On his MySpace page the lyrics hold the clue (although there are still some mispellings left over from the previous message).
LOOK IN THE CORNER OF THE NAVE.

I see most of you are in the mortal world, hunting down souls for Johnson's Eidolon. All this is not exactly the way Dick White said it was going to be. Look, I've been to the sanctuary and I can't find anything that looks like a portal or whatever. I mean, there's no writing on the walls, there's no symbols, there's no, there's no cracks, there's nothing. There's just stone. I just don't get it.

I mean, here's the thing. When Dick White first came to me he said, once we got into the sanctuary we can find and close this portal and leave this Trinity and Johnson's Eidolon inside this temple forever and he said I could go back through the portal.

I've been thinking. I don't think the portal works like that. See, Johnson goes into the sanctuary to beg Mithras. I mean it's most, mostly like a, like a chant or, or a ritual. I mean it's like, it's like he's trying to f?? ghod. How do we deal with that? Ah, hey Mithras! Johnson's totally screwing with you. No, I don't think so. And if there's no portal, how in the hell are we going to get back? Well, I think the pass from the Eidolon, where you hunt down souls, is the only way out for us. And my advice, do not come back on your last day.

And for me, I can't get another pass, since I lost Peeps in the in-between.

And also, for those of you who don't have a pass from the Eidolon, get one! Go offer him a soul. And get out of this freaking false temple before you're lost in here forever.

And one more thing. If you guys do figure out this, this chant or ritual or whatever closes the portal. Just do it! I mean, Johnson's Eidolon has big plans to come back, to return to this mortal world.

Look on the floor of the nave, behind the altar. See for yourself.
And don't get sentimental about who is left behind, just close the portal. You have to stop him.


Comes from this page: http://www.youtube.com/user/Higgstheleo

So we look for the message and it's found here:
http://floorofthenavebehindthealtar.blogspot.com/
behindthealtar
From this account: http://www.youtube.com/user/higgzleo
This appears to be the same message as found on http://misteralanjohnson.blogspot.com/ where there is a picture of the lunar eclipse and the time 10:37:22.

 		[EMAIL] Happy needed to know about Higgs' message
konamouse wrote:
Happy, I'm not going to beat around the bush, you need to know what is
going on while I can still safely communicate.

Late last night a coded message from Higgs arrived. Lacey. Taluria &
I eventually found him hiding in the sanctuary and this is the message
he left for us Darksiders:
------------------------
[transcript of message]
----------------------------

So you can picture me now with my jaw on the floor, and my eyes
brimming with tears....not at my conundrum, but worried about everyone
else. What if we don't find out how to "beg Mithras" ourselves? I
know Higgs is being a self-sacrificing martyr here, but what about
Ben? Trinket? Mildred? Timothy? We can't leave them behind! I will
not forsake my oath to you, I will not leave Ben in the nave. He has
to be freed.

And what about Peeps? He's in the 'in-between' right now - what would
happen to him if we cannot figure out the Eidolon's secret?

We did find what Higgs left on the floor of the nave behind the altar.
Another rendition of what is on Mr AJ's old blogspot: the lunar
eclipse (Aug 28th) at 10:37:22 (time) and then a drawing of a nuclear
cloud with "not a test" underneath.

So sue me if I *AM* being sentimental. Sorry Higgs, that is just the
way I'm built. We're HAVE to find the way to worship Mithras
ourselves. Maybe reaching the Pater level before MrAJ gets his reincarnation. Speak to Mithras ourselves; Beg Mithras ourselves. And you guys on the outside, have to take away the power of the Eidolon's Trinity so they cannot bring over any more souls. He cannot reach 30 souls. Maybe each of the Trinity has a part of the answer, and by freeing
them you can put them all together and when you confront Kevin (when
the Eidolon has control over him) you have the means to end it all
yourself - maybe that will free us all? Cause, despite what Higgs
said, I'm not leaving them behind. I will go back into the nave at
the end of my pass, I will continue working up the initiate levels and
maybe I can attain the Pater level. No, not maybe, I will. Because
Mithras is about truth, and light (not dark and creepy) and Mithras
will allow my advancement to his side.

I may not be available much this weekend. I think I should spend some
time inside the nave to show my devotion but my pass is good at least
until next week so I'll be back. If there is something pressing,
sallyyyyy (aka chixor1) may be able to find me. I've sent a copy of
Higgs' message to Mister Gerold and to Betty. Maybe you can share the
information with UNBC? I have to get back to the nave now.

Stay Strong.

We Are Sammeeeees

I'm addicted, I had to check email just one last time before I left for work today.

Kona, You may have gone off to the dark side already, but I just want you to know that I agree with everything you have said in your note. We will not leave them behind! We will not allow this Eidolon to come back and destroy our world! We will not fail!!!

I'm still Happy

 		I left a comment on Higgs' MySpace so he would come see the messages on WeAreSammeeeees (if he can).

Here they are (for the archive):

Find Us When We Roar
Hello my friends; look to the rising sun, find the spot where you might enjoy breakfast on a stone table. I'll think of some music that brings tears to our eyes....

Good thoughts and maybe something French will pop into sight - a chance for meeting old friends. Go into a dark place to check for a proper link. Soon there will be proper communion with Mithras.

Follow your heart and you'll know we can do this. I have faith, even if some think all is lost.

Never give up, never surrender (what movie was that from?) - regardless, it still rings true. Don't forget the past. Just remember who we are. Much work is still to be done.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
First letter of each sentence = HIGGS FIND JM


Quote:
Last fall was the highlight of my life.
Mithras sent us a message. "there is an inner sanctuary. mithras is the only one who can show you the way. place your hands on the east wall. beg mithras" Go to the east wall, the portal is there! "mithras will show the portal three days before next full moon, be prepared to sing your sad song, leo". I'm trying to get the Eidolon to take my hand in trust and then show me those below so I can find out how to free them. The Nun is down there now - I have to talk to her - she knows the third word to find the instructions. Happy is the key, but she is off the grid right now. When we have the third word, then she will succeed.
Life is funny


This second one has the middle text "hidden" (you have to highlight to read it).

 		Higgs' reply in my comment section is a picture. It appears a "sign language" word but we haven't found it's meaning yet.

 		I *think* that's the sign for "No", but I'm not sure. Check http://www.lifeprint.com - their sign for "No" looked similar to this, but I haven't been able to find this exact picture to verify. I can't look further at the moment.

 		Yeah, saw that one but it uses the first TWO fingers. And if he is saying "No" then what the hell is he thinking? He wants to stay in that nave forever?
http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/n/no.htm

I would hope it's something else.

Me too. Tell the boy not to be a hero! (if he is, in fact, saying no.)

Edit: Wait, I just thought of something. What if he HAS to stay with Mithras because of the sacrifice he made to help stop the Eidolon? :/

Wasn't that what he did on his Myspace, with his prayer to Mithras? That's what I'm referring to, the sacrifice he made near the beginning, when his myspace changed. It was the sacrificial prayer, if I recall. Don't be alarmed - I'll go and look - I'm probably full of it! Wink

Edit: Higgs is the only person we saw making a vow, or fulfilling a vow. In his myspace he posted, Deo Invicto Mithrae, V.S.L.M. I thought this was a vow to Mithras, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I hope this is wrongly specced and that we can convince Higgs to come back with us!

 		I found the sign!!! It means YES. Not No. YES. Very Happy It's a Native American sign, not ASL.

It's from a long, long document on project gutenberg, but just search for the following on that page, and you'll see it:

Quote:
Fig. 63, a common sign among the North American Indians to express affirmation and approbation.


ETA: Or, if you do a google image search for "sign language yes" or "sign language vocabulary yes" (remove quotes), it'll turn up on the first page.

That right there is the subtle shade of meaning that "Chaotic Fiction" (as opposed to ARG) doesn't quite capture. Wink
