 		Last part:
(Note: I didn't do the fancy f's here, but if you want to imagine where they are, listen to Lex's dramatic reading of this part)

Quote:
The Life of the Prophet Antarsus

COnvicted of his heresy, Antarsus submitted to his execution, choosing poison as his portal to the shadow world. Mercutius attended Antarsus in the final day of his life. The court forbade any tablet to be present, that if Antarsus should prophesy again, his words could not be recorded and would fade from history.

Before he died, ANtarsus indeed bespoke one final prophecy:

"Oppression stains the threads of time: It was, like God, begotten but not made. But as time weaves the fate of all people, Opression will fall and time and fate shall be cleansed. From the shadows of man shall he rise, a child born of two bloods, bringing two worlds into collision, one with the other. Aided by men of justice and truth, Oppression's helm shall be shattered and removed and truth laid bare by the children of the two worlds."

It is said that Antarsus' whisper was heard in the CHambers of High Council, where Tyferus, who ordered the death of Antarsus on the charge of heresy, trembled and fell to his knees as the words were spoken. The tyrants hear their demise and saw the beginning of the end.

Thus it was that the law was written by the Dragon Council:

"No child of the Awlyn, of any species, may intermingle or diminish his or her blood with the blood of humanity. From this time forth, Awlyn and Humanity are to be separate.

In the death changer, Mercutius affected not to have heard his master's words, and attended his master unto death. After, he met in secret with Portio, who was the first to set the prophecy in ink.

This is the account of Adrianos, son of Portio, who will swear to its truthfulness on pain of death. Ex Obscurum, Lux Lucis.


Note: Awlyn is apparently an artifact from Aporia's last game, Ny Takma: it means "Others" in the fictional language Lanti (translator here)

I do remember having a conversation with a big guy in the elevator who was wearing a blue speedo and had drawings all over him. That hallucination was almost as strange as the one I had that convinced me to go to Boston in the first place. Was he the person that I was supposed to talk to? But he seemed in a hurry to be somewhere else – I don't think he had anything to do with this. I think I will let somebody else figure out his mystery.


Laughing Too funny!

 		Got the response.

Hello, Michael -

You found a letter meant for me? In Boston? Is this a conspiracy or a coincidence? Am I paranoid, or am I really being followed? Or both?

Were you the person I was supposed to meet there?

I looked over this ritual that you sent me. Something about it... feels right. I wonder if that's another symptom of my current problem, but I can't tell. I don't know if I'll be able to gather all of these things - I don't even know any women personally, except for my ex-wife, and she'll be more than happy to tell the court I'm crazy if I ask her to tie a red string or blow out a candle. The trip took just about everything out of me. I don't know what to do - I don't think I can do this by myself. Have you ever reached a point where you just can't swim against the current anymore? Whatever this is, whoever you are, I'm asking for your help. Can you help me?

 		So based on Mikey's last reply, he can't gather the things for himself, but in the letter it says others can do it for him. So we have to gather the components of the ritual, take a photo, and send it to him?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(At one point, the PM asked us if we'd be willing to do certain things for the game, one of which was take photos.)


I'd do this but I have to work today, if no one else does it by the time I get off I'll try to do it.

Do they have to be new pics, or can they be something yanked from the net?

A spray of pine, for example, is here:

 		I think photos would do for some of the items, but only for some of them. The ritual requires some to be placed on an altar inside the circle, and later for him to crush them in his hands.
The candle, feather, sand/shell, and pebble would most likely be fine, depending on geographic location (Since they need to be in the right place) but he'd need the rest personally.
On the other hand, I wonder if we're gonna need to record ourselves saying that chant or something Razz

I wonder if they want us to actually video a woman lighting a new candle for the first time, and then actually snuffing it out? If so, this ought to be fun.

 		Yeah

I think one of us needs to drop a line to Mikey and feel out exactly how involved we are supposed to be in this matter.
