Sparkrent LJ Update(s) Just checked Sparkrent's LJ for updates as I occasionally do, and was pleasently suprised to find one.

"All right then," he huffed. "But listen carefully, for I will not speak twice what I am about to tell you. Because once I do, I am dead - and your life too will be in danger."
I stood frozen.
"Are you willing to shoulder such responsibility?"
The beggar suddenly did not seem a beggar anymore; as his tone deepened, making him sound abnormally severe, the old man began to take on an almost menacing demeanour. I found myself fascinated by the immediate transformation, and desperate to hear what he had to reveal.
"Yes," I said.
"Reeeally?"
"On what's left of my honour and besmirched name, I am willing."
"Ahhh...now that's more what I'd expected from you. Good, this is a good sign."
I remained quiet, wanting him to continue.
"If you truly wish to find him, you must first lose yourself. In nightmares and dreams. And not what it seems. For he slips through the shades of shadow."
"So he is alive," I asked.
The beggar stared at me, something like a grin crossed his face. "The question you should be asking is," he muttered, "how long will you still be?"

Not sure what to make of the Google map. Hopefully this will lead somewhere(but not expecting to much) even if it's just more of his writing. Qu13e has definitely intrigued me enough to want to see more of it.
At the very least I think this points to splinternails still being alive.
The Tag "it's in between the echoes where you'll" is the subject from an email I received from Halten Kehle during Qu13e minus the end "find me". Perhaps this is a challenge to us to find him?

So I just found this post, and I really hope that it's the game continuing/starting up again.
Idea: "In Splendor Twirl" sounds an awful lot like "In Splinterworld."
It's been too long since I've looked at this stuff, so I'll have to review old posts and whatnot.
www.qu13e.com still isn't working (just fyi)

It's actually a direct anagram. Though splinterworld.com isn't back up and I don't know the real world location of this "splinterworld".
I still think that if anythings there it might be in the title,
"9 s t a r s p i l l s & m a d . t r a i n . m o r n"

I saw this too, along with another update long ago that didnt seem to have any substance. Not sure what this means, if anything, but we can hope.

I continue searching, master.
I'm not expecting a return, but like you said we can hope.

I just noticed an e-mail address (9starspillsSPLATgmail.com) added to the posting on sparkrents journal. Still unsure of what to make of any of this, anyone up for Round 2? I kinda want my soul back
Going to shoot off an e-mail and try to see if Obenai can be found, or maybe if we have new directions.

i'm going back over the archive stuff to get my mind back to thinking in this universe - i've also sent off an email to 9 starspills. we really should retrieve glecius' soul.

i got an email! hey guys - so i emailed 9starspills the other day (tuesday) with the following note:
Quote:
trust me, i am constantly searching in my nightmares and dreams, but cannot find him. can you tell me where these shades of shadows could be? do you know splinternails?
labfly
and this came yesterday:
Quote:
Once upon a rhyme ago.
Tick-tock, stops the Clock.
the words were hidden - white on white and separated as i have placed them in the quotes above. the email return says it is from Random Martin.
edit:* so all our spec before was correct. sparkrent is Random Martin. i'm checking thru the old threads to see if we already knew this for sure.
and another edit:* just a reminder that we are moving closer to splinternails' b-day again. so, it makes sense that this world is making a few sounds, but i have no idea what it means or if it will lead us to splinternails. http://seeking.dreamhost.com/

I'm glad you got a reply, nothing came from mine. Seems to have the same feel/MO as before.
I don't believe we determined beyond a doubt that sparkrent was Random Martin, but the coincidences are uncanny. I too will go back through our old posts, maybe we will find some headway again.
*Edit - If I'm not mistaken, didn't we determine that splinterbitch wasn't involved and actually monitored us for answers? (Is your link new or one of the older ones we found before?)

correct. splinterbitch was not "ig" if there even is such a thing as ig or oog with qu13e at this point. i've been going thru the google map link. there are a bunch of blogs and a couple myspaces and a death poem that are linked from that google map list. i think we need to search these links. i will check out a few more later, but if anyone else would like to check it out, it might lead us somewhere.

OK, did some backlog reading to "get my mind right". I found the spec about Random and sparkrent, and it was a great deduction. I think it ended with us needing to attempt the verification through contact. If your current e-mail came back from Random, could we not take the same role from a different angle? I was trying to find some bit of info from the past that the 2 were involved in different angles, so we might gain more from what is said or not said. I'll keep looking.
(Thinking out loud) Maybe we ask Random if he remembers. Not sure how vague or specific we want to be, as general might yield more info than specific pointing. My thought was also that since you obtained a reply the first time, maybe you continue contact, labfly? I will attempt again if we need, but I think anything at this point is better than nothing.
Just a few things I thought about while twisting my brain back into the shape needed for this
PS - Don't ask why, but the reply you got reminds me of the nursery rhyme 'Three Blind Mice'. I don't have an answer, but I think the confusing response my brain had might be what the Dr. ordered here

no worries, I've shot another e-mail off. I'm not going head first until I find more confusion anyway. We will see what happens, if anything, and go from there.
