Nighthawk,below the media screen on the right there is a "select a format" option. Both formats have always loaded very quickly for me so I can not advise further.

I think that she is "staring at Brody" only because she is good behind the camera and knows that she should continue to look into it. Of course we do know that she is interested in Brody. I think it is interesting that they would both get her such an expensive present - and a very personal one. And Ark was really excited about giving it to her - wasn't there a reference in one of the earlier videos where ark says something to brody about "the other thing". Something like, when should we give it to her?

Prologue to a haunted heart - maybe Arkham's heart is the haunted one.

The only thing I can hear at the begining of "last face to face" is "I don't know where Brody is or anything but" and then she is interrupted. And she doesn't have the necklace on yet - I think she receives it after Michelle leaves. I think it it interesting that this is Ronnie and Michelle's last Face to Face - does that mean that something happens to Michelle? This is several years before Ronnie dies. But from V's journal it says "Michelle. Where did you go my friend? I am worried about you. Come back to me."

Ok, firstly, well done to Leith for noticing this Wink

next...
Although it's probably not very important, I went looking for this necklace online. No dice on the Swarovski site, or for that matter, ebay and countless others.
I'm a complete jewellery buff as it is, and love to know about these things (whether it's important with the game or not!)

I took a screenshot of the necklace, resized it and attached it to an email which I sent to Swarovski customer services in Canada, claiming that it was my mother in law's birthday coming up, and a friend had been given this present as a gift. (ahahahahaha, mother in law, yea right)

So now we wait for a reply lol, i asked where i could source it (if anywhere) and how much it would cost.

I have even included the photo in this post, it is a dragonfly and a flower on the pendant, sitting on what looks like a swirl.

Are you sure it's not a bee?

Some symbolism of dragonfly (oh how i love them I have two tattoos of them):
rebirth
illusion
change
transformation
enlightenment

Some symbolism of bee:
chastity
purity
industry
eloquence

I'm nearly certain its a dragonfly heather, but i could be wrong lol.

I'm Wiccan, so many of the insects, animals etc hold certain meaning when wearing them or having an amulet of them.

ref:

"Dragonflies represent the powers of light and transformation, and the ability to see through illusion. They bring prosperity and harmony. The dragonfly totem teaches skillful action while maintaining a free and joyful sense of being."

which is pretty similar to what you have.

i think, if memory serves me correctly, it was either tm or scribe eyes that confirmed it was a firefly--because i couldn't see it (now I do) but i took it as word because it had been confirmed

Wow!!! Really great thinking Tiggs!!!! I am proud Razz

And Titanium, I don't think she is looking at Brody just because of the acting thing. I think there is more to it than that..Smile

very similar to the dragonfly Heather, but with much older meaning. It's not an insect i've come across before (we don't get them over here) so I had to go hunting through my various resource sites Smile

"Aztecs used the term firefly metaphorically, meaning a spark of knowledge in a world of ignorance or darkness."



The symbolic meaning of the firefly of course deals with light, illumination and the like. Although an important focus, the issue of light is not the high feature behind the symbolic meaning of the firefly.
Rather, it is the messages this wonderous creature gives us while her light is off may be most profound to our growth.

Here is a summary list of symbolic meaning of the firefly:
• Inspiration
• Illumination
• Patience
• Attraction
• Energy
• Hope
• Aspiration
• Guidance
• Efficiency
• Creativity
• New Ideas
• Awakening

Also I received a reply from Swarovski -

Quote:
Good Day Ms. Kirkland.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately this pendant is retired and no longer available.

Oh I agree that there is more to it... but I just mean that she seems to always look right into the camera whenever she knows it's on. She is very good at engaging the camera as her audience. (I mean that completely IG - not that I think she is a good actress, but that she is an actress playing a good documentarian.)

Hi Vicky,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I'm disappointed that I am unable to get it. Is there a name for that piece, and I can see if I can maybe souce it through a local retailer, or online store that may have still have it?

Thanks again,

Jennifer

veeeeery sneaky Tiggs! Well done!
IMO the actress playing V is really good. These are some hard roles to play and she reads just like a person knowing that they're being filmed by a friend.
So did we get confirmation on the type of bug? Any of them related to ghosts or ghost-type-things?
