 		[Trailhead?] Mahkra Asylum / Kana Itsume?
Did anyone else get this e-mail?

Quote:

(E-mail start)

From Kana Itsume (daydreamingcricketSPLATgmail.com)

Who ever is reading this, please, I ask for your full attention.

I don't know where I am and how I got here, I don't know what I am to do and I'm being used for treatments I don't know what are for exactly. 00110100 01100101 00100000 00110110 01100001 00100000 00110100 00110001 00100000 00110111 00111000
Please, help me. I think I'm in an asylum, and it's dark in here. I'm scared. Who ever you who is reading this, please...help me.
(/e-mail end)


Random speculation and excitedness begins here:

Asylum is a link that leads to http://sites.google.com/site/mahkraasylum/

Mahkra is Arkham a la Lovecraft, I think.

The binary was hidden until I highlighted it~.

I've translated it from binary to get

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
4e 6a 41 78 which I think is hex? Which turned into NjAx -- Which when put into base 64 turns into 601


Not sure what that all means though.

I'm gonna monkey with it though.

Edited: To add Kana's name/e-mail, and to note that To and For are bolded in the e-mail.

Edited the second: Tried plugging in the binary solution into the site at the bottom of the main page where it asks for the patient number for the .pdf, but nothing was found~.

Edited the third: Also sent an e-mail back asking how I could help. Perhaps I should've waited to do all of that before posting the trailhead, lol.

 		you get it because the words to and for are bold in her email, then then hint in binary, put it together,

24601, the PDF links us to two blogs

hers:
rememberingdeath.blogspot.com
and the doctors:
angrydoctornotmad.blogspot.com

 		Interestingly enough, I just deleted the "####.pdf" part and hit enter only to find the site that the pdf is downloaded off of. A lot easier than trying to decipher that stuff.

 		from the doctors Blog:

Quote:

Then the real fun began. I've begun with a treatment of cold plasters and bloodletting in the morning, an afternoon of solitude, a short moment in which I invited her to have tea with me (In which she did nothing but stare at the floor and mutter "Watashi wa dare?" to herself over and over. Wretch.), and some extreme shock therapy at night.

I'm preparing her a serum with laudanum as the key ingredient. I do hope it will cause some sort of progress.


Shocked

 		Holy crap! This guy is gruesome!

Well, since he's watching her blog, I guess the only way to communicate with is through email.

EDIT - Who wants to bet he's reading her emails, as well?
EDIT2 - Can't leave comments on her blog. Mad
EDIT3 - http://amadeusplayhouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/weve-had-murder-report-last-night.html

 		The Doctor has a twitter.

http://twitter.com/Angrydoctor

One of the Twitter posts leads to another blog, for a character named Amadeus?

http://amadeusplayhouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/weve-had-murder-report-last-night.html

Edit: Whoops ^ Llama got it, sorry. <3

 		I think we got it at the same time, honestly. It's all good.

I posted a comment on the Amedeus blog. I'm thinking about commenting on the doctor's blog, as well.

 		Yeah, I just e-mailed him this:

"Dear Amadeus,

Let me just start this out by saying that you have a lovely name.

With that out of the way, do you know what happened to the girl's sister?

A little birdy told me that something might strange might be going on at the nearby asylum...

Yours truly,
Landy"
