 		Well, yes, WE know them. I was thinking more for the benefit of everybody else.

I'm glad B has his page back. Maybe now the game can move forward. Where are we? What are we trying to figure out now?

Now.. we wait for Matron to show up... or for Gi to announce his voctory over her...

Until we hear either way, we wait.

Your thoughts. nm.

We wait for Isobel, then? What were we working on with Cumae? Did we reach any conclusions there? It's been wicked around here and I can't remember what we've done.

Confirmation about that Arbor Mimes thingy...

Quote:

Brentinthetent (5:34:51 PM): Thanks...
Brentinthetent (5:34:58 PM): I hate asking for help..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:34:58 PM): well.. we all gotta ask for it sooner or later
Brentinthetent (5:35:31 PM): I guess so.
Brentinthetent (5:35:42 PM): I just need to ask her soon or there's gonna be a bunch of shit going down..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:35:40 PM): well.. I can't make her log on...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:35:41 PM): sorry
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:35:58 PM): what might be going down?
Brentinthetent (5:36:44 PM): Pop's in some serious shit..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:36:32 PM): ??
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:37:12 PM): lemme guess.. he had his bank account frozen.. and was arrested for something he didn't do.?
Brentinthetent (5:37:41 PM): Close enough..
Brentinthetent (5:37:45 PM): How'd you guess so well?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:37:43 PM): it was one of the threats from Gi..
Brentinthetent (5:38:05 PM): Well yeah.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:38:13 PM): Aug 29, 2007 10:29 AM / Frozen :
Remember who I am. I can bribe to get you fired, freeze your back accounts, even put evidence to get you arrested for a crime you did not commit so I suggest you watch your back. You don't wanna end up like Arbor Mimes.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:38:23 PM): Arbor Mimes == Mr. Ambroise
Brentinthetent (5:39:21 PM): He went to take some money out to find it frozen and today the cops were at our door saying that someone bribed him in a case and that pop bribed the judge as well when things weren't going as planned.
Brentinthetent (5:39:39 PM): Dammit, I figured it was him..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:40:05 PM): So what now? Show the cops the bulletin posts from Gi? oh wait.. it's on YOUR MS page...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:40:13 PM): they'd arrest you then..
Brentinthetent (5:40:44 PM): Yeah...
Brentinthetent (5:40:52 PM): He's got me.
Brentinthetent (5:41:02 PM): If I say anything he has me framed.
Brentinthetent (5:41:08 PM): That's why I need to talk to Matron.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (5:40:54 PM): ok..

 		double post... sorry
but it really is seperate and way OT
Ok.. so I was listening to pretty much all of Jonathan Coulton's songs last night...

...and I just can't help it.. this Chorus from the song "Skullcrusher Mountain" just screams out Gianluca all over it..

Just the chorus though.. the rest of the song is well off on a whole different theme...

Quote:

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet


listen to it here..
http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Skullcrusher%20Mountain
click on "play the song"
Enjoy

 		Getting back to the subject at hand...
Back to the last message/clue... you know.. that "plate" thingy.

a little birdy told me he didn't think we had the right place..


B got on AIM tonight.. and we had a nice long chat...

Here is the paste of it.. for the most part... Prepare for a really long convo...

Quote:

ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:25:32 PM): Hallo B...
Brentinthetent (6:26:11 PM): Heya.
Brentinthetent (6:26:17 PM): I'm really sorry bout last night
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:26:20 PM): well.. thanks... but I guess I can't really blame you
Brentinthetent (6:26:59 PM): Freaking power went out for hours.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:27:06 PM): I was sitting there rocking out to some music.. and was like.. dammit.. he promised.
Brentinthetent (6:27:33 PM): Like his music?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:27:35 PM): yeah... I was surprised I'd never heard of him before...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:27:45 PM): but I don't know alot of indies
Brentinthetent (6:28:15 PM): I'm a indie nut.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:28:50 PM): So I assume you never got to speak to Matron... I haven't seen her at all either
Brentinthetent (6:29:12 PM): No...
Brentinthetent (6:29:15 PM): Been waiting all day.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:29:36 PM): I hate waiting for something.. not knowing whether it's going to be good or bad...


Edit out of paste some personal private stuff...

Quote:

Brentinthetent (6:32:16 PM): Did you guys figure anything out about the clue?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:32:12 PM): which? the Roman Plate thingy?
Brentinthetent (6:32:36 PM): Yeah.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:32:30 PM): ages ago.. did you miss the memo again?
Brentinthetent (6:33:15 PM): I got an e-mail from Katie, just not where it lead.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:33:09 PM): sec
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:34:52 PM): ok.. sorry.. here it is
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:34:54 PM): i congradulate you on getting this far
the dangers of leaving these are many
i cannot give you the place of the treasure my son
in the hands of the damned,they would be poisoned.
you have the clue the others would not with you.
i cannot tell you where.
you will have to explore.
sybil prophesies in many places - go now to her most famous place. the
sun,

he will guide you
Brentinthetent (6:35:21 PM): .
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:35:14 PM): and that leads to...
Brentinthetent (6:35:32 PM): Any idea?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:36:04 PM): seems to point to exactly the same place as the Greek clue did.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:36:19 PM): hrm.. having troubles... patience is a virtue
Brentinthetent (6:36:44 PM): Why would it be the same place?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:36:57 PM): no freaking idea.. we are thinking that it MUST be that spot.. I guess
Brentinthetent (6:37:38 PM): I just dunno if it's leading to the same place..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:37:54 PM): The sibyl who most concerned the Romans was the Cumaean Sibyl near the Greek city of Naples, whom Aeneas consulted before his descent to the lower world
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:38:16 PM): so Naples, Italy?
Brentinthetent (6:39:47 PM): I dunno....
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:39:57 PM): I know someone is hung up on a cave somewhere.. but I can't remember who
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:40:27 PM): We were all extremely distracted by the hijacking of your MS page... and all the bulletin posts
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:40:43 PM): sorry
Brentinthetent (6:41:19 PM): I don't blame you
Brentinthetent (6:41:22 PM): I was distracted myself.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:41:40 PM): so what now? take another look at the "plate" thing and dig deeper?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:42:57 PM): ok.. I am getting a hunch-feeling.. so I will do some quick searching
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:43:00 PM): can you hold on?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:43:02 PM): Razz
Brentinthetent (6:44:11 PM): Sure.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:48:37 PM): geez
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:48:43 PM): I must be dense or something
Brentinthetent (6:49:08 PM): Hrm?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:49:17 PM): well. I first saw this webpage about a week and a half ago.. no.. maybe longer than that...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:49:29 PM): this image just now jumped out at me..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:49:47 PM): I just need a couple more minutes to read.. brb
Brentinthetent (6:50:21 PM): Aight dude.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:50:44 PM): at the moment.. I am gonna go with Athens, Greece.. I may find something else..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:51:04 PM): ok..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:51:32 PM): The Temple of Delphi
Brentinthetent (6:52:03 PM): Delphi?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:51:51 PM): yeah
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:52:02 PM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi
Brentinthetent (6:53:07 PM): Looks interesting
Brentinthetent (6:53:11 PM): Just scanning it over.
Brentinthetent (6:53:14 PM): Hrm..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:53:13 PM): lemme show you why I think that
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:53:24 PM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:53:42 PM): The oracle was associated with the cults of deities derived from the great goddess of nature and fertility, the pre-eminent ancient oracle—the Delphic Oracle—operated at the temple of Delphi.
Brentinthetent (6:54:31 PM): AH!
Brentinthetent (6:54:36 PM): Looks like the same picture too
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:54:46 PM): exactly.. that's why I said....
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:54:54 PM): ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:49:17 PM): well. I first saw this webpage about a week and a half ago.. no.. maybe longer than that...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:49:29 PM): this image just now jumped out at me..
Brentinthetent (6:55:31 PM): Hrm this looks like it could be something, I'll read up on it.


And then we talk about my dropped ball...

See.. yesterday he mentioned another phone call from Gi.. but I didn't ask him about it at the time.. cuz we were off on another topic at the time..

Anyhow.. tonight he gave me another chance.. and I had to pounce on it..



Quote:

ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:56:00 PM): ok.. got something for me to do? or something to pass on to the others?
Brentinthetent (6:57:46 PM): Not that I know of. Still freaked about Gi's call yesterday.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:57:41 PM): Why are you so sure it was him?
Brentinthetent (6:58:11 PM): Cause he gave his name.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:57:58 PM): he talked?
Brentinthetent (6:58:20 PM): Yeah.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:58:09 PM): Well. you didn't say that!!
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:58:12 PM): what did he say?
Brentinthetent (6:59:08 PM): He just told me to hand over whatever clues he had or things will heat up even more.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:59:07 PM): and you told him to shove it?
Brentinthetent (6:59:40 PM): Basically.
Brentinthetent (6:59:49 PM): I was pissed cause I didnt know what he did to you guys.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (6:59:51 PM): Just verbal attacks.. pretty pathetic ones too..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:00:17 PM): I was like.. yeah yeah.. we're all dead... ok.. we get it.. get to the point
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:00:22 PM): heh
Brentinthetent (7:00:39 PM): lol
Brentinthetent (7:00:55 PM): Well I just hope he doesn't come over here..or to you guys.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:01:19 PM): well.. Seattle is a big town.. plenty of places to hide.. and who knows.. maybe you don't have to stay there.. maybe you'll be on a plane to Greece by then
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:01:46 PM): take Pop with you.. that way he's out of the country as well
Brentinthetent (7:02:15 PM): Yeah what will I tell him?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:02:14 PM): I think he knows something is up... tell him the truth
Brentinthetent (7:02:42 PM): I guess...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:03:21 PM): You could just wait for Gi to show up, invite him in for some tea and cookies.. and chat about the clues together...
Brentinthetent (7:03:48 PM): Oh yeah.
Brentinthetent (7:03:53 PM): Or give up, go home...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:03:36 PM): Maybe we've made a mistake.. maybe he just wants to help?
Brentinthetent (7:04:02 PM): By threatening me
Brentinthetent (7:04:04 PM): ?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:03:57 PM): I'm sure he's a pussycat underneath his awkward come ons
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:04:10 PM): maybe he is just socially challenged
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:04:18 PM): picked on as a lad
Brentinthetent (7:04:44 PM): Who knows.
Brentinthetent (7:04:47 PM): Call and ask.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:04:34 PM): ?
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:04:37 PM): he left a number?
Brentinthetent (7:04:59 PM): No.
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:04:45 PM): ...
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:05:01 PM): There are like.. a million Gi's in Italy..
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:05:08 PM): I can't afford that kind of bill
Brentinthetent (7:05:27 PM): Well with all of you....
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:05:14 PM): rofl
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:05:37 PM): for some reason.. I doubt he's listed
Brentinthetent (7:06:15 PM): lol I was thinking the same.
Brentinthetent (7:11:14 PM): Well
Brentinthetent (7:11:21 PM): I must depart for the night
ForumLurkerOnAIM (7:11:13 PM): ok...


So.... that's it... have fun.. Razz
