Bobby Peru's warning still stands out to me, though I suppose deception is the name of the game in a lot of ways...

I emailed him back, btw, asking why not to go to the Institute. Still waiting on a reply.

P.S. The organelle site has some trippy stuff. I just dug down a bit to a page about what intelligence is made of. Deep stuff.

Organelle Rundown

Sorry to keep posting, but I thought this was useful. Found an FAQ about Organelle.

http://www.organelle.org/organelle/faq/faq.html

Probably a good starting point (buried as it was)

ALSO, just found http://www.nonchalance.org/
not to be confused with http://www.nonchalance.com/ from earlier.

AH HA! That symbol actually helped me find my way around the city. I was able to determine if I was going in the right direction.

Here is the first symbol I ran into.

<a>The All Seeing Eye</a>
right after I took that picture, some guy started running up the stairs after me. I didnt see him, and I dont think he saw me. But I'm sure the security camera did.

The plot thickens! During my trip, I had to call a "Eddie." However, Eddie is out of town so I reach is voicemail. He tells one of my contacts "Louie Chen" that he is on his case, and has some fliers for him to check out. These fliers are for a missing person, one "Evalyn Kathleen Lucien." At the next clue, Eddie leaves a note for Louie saying there may be a lead at "Jan Hewitt's" office. Jane Hewitt is a PsyD. Jungain Analyst.

Well, looking online at nonchalance.com, Evita Lucien is listed: http://www.nonchalance.com/profiles/eva.html
AKA: Evalyn / Eva
June 31, 1972 -
Oakland, CA
Nonchalance Ratio = 100%

The daughter of Katherine Lucien, a mystic & cult member, and famed financial wizard Blair Lucien. She achieved local notoriety as a teenager for a series of elaborate stunts, which eventually ended in her arrest and expulsion from high school. Her fist pranks were designed to disrupt the daily operations of school, and over time they developed into highly conceptual undertakings that received international media coverage. She was also a member of the "Savants", a group of young San Francisco artists who were early adopters of punk & hip-hop motifs, which they fused together in their street murals, music, and short films. 6 months after her arrest and expulsion from high school, Eva went missing. The mystery surrounding her sudden infamy and disappearance resulted in an ardent cult following of disciples and imitators.

The final clue leads you BACK to the office where the Jejune Institute is. Only this time, I received another key, that opened up a lockbox. In that lockbox there is a picture of Eva! Behind her there is the login code I mentioned earlier. How does this all tie in? Well, on the clue card I was given, there was a note at the very end:

Quote:

what you have not glimpsed is but for the eyes of few. lying just within is a delicate relic of a bygone era. there is hused talk of a revival; a lost queen's sly return to form. it may well be your own breath that resurrects her. but, if it's not foretold by an extinct tribe, does it stilL qualify as prOphecy? do take Great care of yourself and that whIch you have not seen. our very survival may depeNd upon it.


So, this Eva girl seems to play a huge role in this story. But, who are these "savants"?

In the IRC, Jason7au just posted this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orf3uMtASfc

at 0:11... it's none other than Octavio!

Not to mention, the little helper logo appears on some Obama posters throughout the route I took.

Something to look into

Turns out the man in the middle of the movie is Arye Michael Bender.

Hey guys, I'm going to be going to bed soon, got work in the morning...

Could someone call "EPW" 1888-717-7517 between 11:57pm- 4:38am PST?

That is when their offices are "open" Maybe they might have some info on the recording.

Continuing with the hunt for Eva,

On the "missing person" flyer, there is a number for Louie Chen. His voicemail says that there is a cash prize for the location of Eva, and his friend Eddie. Also, that eva was last seen at coit tower.

I left a message asking if me and my associates could help him out. Hopefully I'll get a response

EDIT AGAIN:
For those who wanted to know what was in the final locker:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDJhQDHRSI8

That picture of a woman is Eva...

EDIT3:

Alright guys, since all of this discombobulated chat about "cards," "posters" and what not must be confusing... within the next few days either me or someone else will go BACK down to the city and take pictures of everything. We'll get every step of the way so nothing is left out.

Mr. Bender there has quite an extensive paper trail on the web. Everything from newspaper articles he's written to his very own (inactive) myspace. He's listed as a tv writer/producer in the SF area. What's really weird is that Arye Michael Bender posted this comment on despoiler a couple days ago:

Quote:

October 1st, 2008 at 5:17 pm

I went to the Institute. They killed me.


http://www.despoiler.org/2008/10/01/is-public-works-an-oxymoron/

i find it odd that someone (Bender) OOG who acts as someone (Coleman) IG would post something like that in the comments about the game.
Regardless here's his twitter...

http://twitter.com/AryeDirect

and on his twitter from October 1st:

Quote:
Went to the Jejune Institute S.F. office today. Octavio Coleman, esq is sure onto something. Check it out - if you dare. 07:28 PM October 01, 2008 from web


funny how 2 hours 11 minutes after they killed him he's just twittering away...
if he wants to play, then I say i'll oblige... Will be contacting shortly


I also found another person of interest...

http://twitter.com/caseymrm

they have the JI induction phone number posted in their twitter as well dating back to September


And last but not least I found this business listing on Yelp...

http://www.yelp.com/biz/jejune-institute-san-francisco

Note the comments section that dates back to September 19.
I didn't think this thing went live until Oct 1st???


--EDIT--
Just called EPW during "normal" business hours... still got the same recording... Sad

Wow, my head hurts. This may be nothing, or not.
I did a search on one of the nonchalant names "Torry Hotprune" just cause it was so ridiculous, which directed me to a message board type discussion on the assasination of John Lennon.
Another IG (or maybe not? I'm so confused) character (Bobby Peru) also commented on this topic.
Anyway, you'll end up being given a few other links, one of which is this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.lennonmurdertruth.com/footnotes.asp
Containing this bit of news (toward the end after a long rant about how Stephen King killed Lennon): "I need demonstraters this Oct. 9, all day, at ABCTV' station at
W. 67th and Columbus Ave., New York, New York. Show some courage and class, for a
change, people of New York. America needs you."


Again, I have no idea if this is at all useful or just a long strange trip I've been on for the past few hours.

If it's the latter, please ignore this ignorant post.

Just an update for everyone:

I'm sure anyone who is lurking in on this game is quite confused! For this I apologize, being the RW contact I have to make sure everything is clear for everyone, since you cannot be here to check it out yourself.

Within the next few days, I will be creating a wiki of the events that happened Oct 3rd.

I have some pictures, but not many, that goes for videos as well. Hopefully my explanation can help with
