 		oh, when I logged into my gmail account a minute ago, I noticed that that Lance had the little green light, saying he was available for chat, next to his name. It went gray before I could try to message him. If anyone else gets a chance, maybe we should try that. It would be faster than waiting for emails to arrive.

The only problem with that is that it might send the PM into a tailspin if he hasn't created a story fast enough for a chat. That could bring this game to a very abrupt stop.

 		Go to this link and scroll down a little.. There's a Robbie Sheppard from London with a weird symbol...

 		Heard from Robbie!
From Robbie:

MY GOD YES!! YES LANCE IS MY MATE! Who are you!? Are you from Lif3 too!? Are you in London!?

What the heck's going on!?

From Me:

Hi Robbie,

I'm Scott.. I'm in the United States... We were contacted by Lance a few days ago that the contestants in the house had lost contact with the people running the show... The evening prior to him contacting us, they were having a party getting to know each other, something strange happened in the house, the next thing they knew they were waking up in different locations not remembering much of what happened... One of the contestants actually got scared and was able to get out of the house and is at an adjacent location.. We've heard from all of them and they appear to be fine...

Where are you? Has anything strange happened recently? Is this the best way for us to keep in contact?

Scott

Well, i was thinking that we could get them into a chat room. Couldn't we use Gmail's chat function for that? That way we could talk to them all at once. Of course, on the realistic side of that, it might freak the man behind the curtain too much if we did that, soo...

That's assuming that there's a separate person playing each character which is usually unlikely in smaller ARGs.

Um I didn't experience anything but for the door latching, which I thought was punishment by "The Mast3r" for disobeying show rules, you know what I mean? Some kind of 'time out' or whatever but then... When I figured out that no-one was speaking to me, no-one was relaying messages from behind the scenes or w/e (I don't know "This is, The Mast3r. Lance you have broken a fundamental rule" or something?) I began to freak out, I thought I heard people running around me, I thought I heard people calling my name... I was half-cocked on Stella so, I guess that does it for me!

The most obvious explanation seems to be some sort of supernatural or pseudoscience phenomena, be it ghosts or some government experiment gone awry. But that still doesn't seem to explain why all of the people are missing from the surroundings. I guess the answer to that can wait. Getting away from this "entity" seems to be what needs focusing on at the moment, seeing as it's already assaulted the other participants.

So, have been back down to check whether the front door's still locked? Are there any windows you can access? Even if they won't open, you could always break one.

One step ahead of you...

I've got Laptops charging... About four of 'em. Whether or not I'll be able to carry them all I don't know. Nicked a wireless USB key thing too. I'm sorry but, it's well dark here now so, I'm hunkering down. It might only be around six in the evening (Clocks have stopped but Big Ben's still chiming); but I'm taking no risks right now... I'm sure you understand that? Maybe not...

Listen important question. Where are you located? Are there still 'other people' around? I'm trying to determine exactly how far spread this has gone. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box but I'm okay with my Math and Science ;-D

Oh... Also snuck into the adjacent Tesco Superstore over the road about three O'Clock and nailed that place with all the edible goods and liquids I could. Tried to think of it as a Tax Free Camping spree. It helped a little; but not much =/

Great! But I guess it wouldn't be too bad if you can't carry all the laptops (I know those suckers can be heavy). Once the others are outside, you could all return to the stores and rummage for supplies.

I understand not wanting to go out now though. Especially if you think that whatever entity attacked you all only arrives at night. I wouldn't take it for granted that you're safe where you are though, just in case. Is there somewhere you can barricade yourself in? (even better if it has two potential exits!)

All the clocks have stopped?! Now that's really strange. I would suggest that it might have been some sort of electromagnetic pulse, but no other electronics would be working either. Have you tried calling anyone on a phone? Or turning on a TV?

I realize now that although I knew you were all in the UK, I hadn't asked where. By the fact that you hear Big Ben, I take it you're in London? That's really scary. Are you saying it's London that's been deserted?

I myself am from New Orleans in the US. I haven't really been out much today to see anyone, but I can hear traffic noise from the highway and the local news is playing. So, no problem here.

Normally, I would try to stay away from crackpot theories, but considering all of this, I guess theorizing can't hurt. Is it possible that you and your housemates are the ones "missing" not the rest of the people? I mean like time distortion or an alternate dimension or something?

 		I, too, added him as a friend. This has definitely taken a strange spin...

Hoobie - Ask him if he is near the lif3 house and if there are people around him.

 		Can't find Robbie's Facebook for some reason.

>.<

EDIT: I'm stupid, I wasn't logged in. Very Happy
