Bubbling under the surface. Rising.

Coming.

 		I got this, too.
Could what I'm thinking really be possible?

I asked who was waiting for it.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

 		it's been hinted that this is referring to the post hamwar activity on sl.com, something along the lines of pre-hamwar but not so 'massive' - it should be awesome... but first to KILL ALL THE HARMIES! ^_^

 		I got this mail today...

Quote:
THEY think they are rid of me.
THEY think I am the quiet, unassuming one.
THEY are wrong.

RISE AGAIN.

I AM THE KING OF SPADES. PRAY FOR REIGN.

I'm liking this.... I was late to the hamwar thing, though...

 		Boy oh boy, did I get some replies.

These are replies to the SOON email:


Transmission wrote:
SOON.


Me wrote:
How soon?


Transmission wrote:
After every war, both great and small, there is a time of prosperity, a
time to rise, a time to grow, a time to build.

During every epic opera, there is a pause, a rest, a set change, a moment
to reflect.

Before the second act.

But there is always time to recover first. Time to catch your breath.


And my last reply:
me wrote:
So, Silverladder isn't really over... Is that what you're saying?


Now, that was the first email that I got replies to.
The other one is the reply to SLOWLY:

Transmission wrote:

Waited for.

Coming.

It.


me wrote:
Who waited for it?


And evidence that this is probably not a bot talking:
Transmission wrote:
The faithful.

The patient.

Faces pressed up against the glass, waiting for the doors to open.


I've yet to reply.

 		I don't mind which one, but can we have the one thread for these? I'd sugest the other one as it was started first...

BTW I've been looking at the starting letters for each line, but getting nowhere. They could just be the line breaks for poetry though...

 		At night, usually.

'Nother reply from the SOON email. After I asked if Silverladder was really over.

I got this:

Looks like Transmission's gone HAL on us....

 		Saul has gone DEMENTED! He seems to be leading a faction of rebels of some kind. He is against the HamWar mockery that SL has become. And he plans to overtake power on SilverLadder. It seems to be getting REALLY interesting. It should be noted, Saul no longer refers to himself as 3D, but as KS! These are the emails we've exchanged:

Saul:
Quote:

Me:
Quote:
So after this, no more ham, I pressume? I'm getting pretty interested...

King of Spades, eh? That's quite the change, both in rank and suit. I'll be sure to keep paying attention...


Saul:
Quote:
Kneel when you speak to me. I will not be treated like a commoneranymore. I am tired of living in the shadow of lower cards and lesserpeople.


Me:
Quote:
Pardon my insolence, your highness. With all due respect, may I inquire about what is to happen next? Will the next step in the Silver Ladder be like any other step or will SL become, once again, something entirely different (which is to be expected of it's ever-changing nature)?

Your loyal servant,
"The Salesman"


Saul:
Quote:
That's better. Don't let it happen again. I am not sure what will happen next. All I know is I am insulted by whatis taking place right now. What a farce. What an insult to what camebefore. I wasn't entirely pleased with the way things were earlier as itwas, but this, this is a mockery. I poured my heart and soul out and letothers do the same. For what? For this? For some kind of lowbrownonsense? When I accepted the invitation to join, I had no idea that it would end uplike this. It sickens me. Anything good that I did before, that any ofus did, has been unraveled in lieu of a childish game. How trite. That's what you get when you let a rabbit run the whole show: a circus. Fools. I'll bide my time. There are like-minded intellects with me on this. Wewill not let the art we put our hearts into be desecrated like this. Thisis akin to urinating on someone's gravestone. However long it takes, whatever it takes, wherever it needs to take place,it will be done. It will be done. I AM YOUR KING.


Me:
Quote:
My apologies to you, milord.

Why, yes, it is indeed childish. I believe we need a creative, righteous and decisive mind to put this kingdom back together. Will you perhaps be the firm hand needed to turn everything back to the way it is supposed to be? I am eager in anticipation. Silver Ladder is a place for art, not a toddler's playground like it seems to have become.

I await your return to these lands, your highness.


Saul:
Quote:
Subject, I will most definitely be the head of the snake that strikes back at thosewho took us for granted. There are many of us who have taken exception towhat has become of our creation. We will not sit idly by as the empire isbrought down by moths. We are just below the surface. We are human, non-human, and inhuman. Weare sight, sound, and action. Most of all, we are patience. We are thekind of patience that sits and waits in the shadows for as long as ittakes, quiet, unmoving, unflinching, until the moment is right to strike. If you find the like-minded, let them know of our cause. We are Faction. We will Rise Again. We will Rise Against. I AM YOUR KING.


Awesome! xD I'm so into this!

EDIT: I had written Dom, instead of Saul. It is now corrected. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks Faust for pointing it out to me.

Yeah, sorry, let me explain: the mail was entitled Jane-Domenic... That's why I got confused. Sorry, you're right. It is strikingly odd, though, that he chose the subject of the e-mail to be "Jane-Domenic".

You're right, heh... I've been away from this for far too long and I'm kinda rusty on who is who right now...

EDIT: The post with the mistake has now been corrected.

 		It could mean that Jane and Domenic are involved. Or that the email was directed mostly at them.....
