I must be nuts! I've spent a good chunk of my weekend working on a tree structure for your "console" thingy. A lot of the nodes have vectors that just loop back to where they came from, and some nodes link to other nodes on their same depth level rather than going deeper. I walked every path down to its fifth level, then made this monster graph. The fifth-level paths are only shown where they reach new nodes, rather than cluttering up the network with the loop-backs. Now I have laundry to do and Free Realms to explore.

Keep in mind for possible future solves that the second part of the plain text has not been used for anything yet.

Well the only thing that hasn't been solved is the amber page...

I'm not so certain that we should be even trying to "solve" that page at the moment. It's obvious that it's not obvious, and just trying to blindly throw passwords at it smacks of bruteforcing to me (yes, I said it).

I'm certain when we are supposed to open it, we'll be given a more concrete kl00. Or a hard poke from the PMs.

The only other thing I've tried for that password is "Zeuxippe" who apparently was the river-god Eridanos' daughter. Didn't work.

Transcripts of audio from TOSSED-ROUND-ABOUT
& compiled mp3

Here are the transcripts of the mp3s from http://thewaytheirworldended.com/TOSSED-ROUND-ABOUT/ ....Dreaming Eyes' story continued from here.
I'm not sure about the order of these... I used the order listed in the source code of TOSSED-ROUND-ABOUT

You can listen to the compiled version at http://drop.io/twtwtwe



http://thewaytheirworldended.com//CLIP/wherever-you-like.mp3
Quote:
Dreaming Eyes heard the door open and she sat up in bed. The Red Monster appeared and looked around the room, then came to get her.
She jumped up; surprised. "Is it time to go home?", she asked. The Red Monster smiled in a way that made Dreaming Eyes uncomfortable. And she wanted to get away but he held on tightly to her hand.
"Don't worry. You're almost home. Soon you will be free again to go where ever you'd like."


http://thewaytheirworldended.com//CLIP/a-world-made.mp3
Quote:
He pulled her through the giant box into a world made of smoky shadows and then left her alone there.
She heard other children breathing nearby, but she couldn't find them in the dark.


http://thewaytheirworldended.com//CLIP/rumble-and-roar.mp3
Quote:
The ground began to rumble and roar like they were in the stomach of a giant animal!
Dreaming Eyes sat down and whimpered. She was never going to get home, the Red Monster had been lying!
The big grumbling kept going on for a long time, like it was hungry but never fed.
They were all going to be fed to the animal!
Dreaming Eyes cried by herself in the dark until she ran out of tears.


http://thewaytheirworldended.com//CLIP/going-to-be-eaten.mp3
Quote:
After what seemed like forever, the mouth suddenly opened wide and let in a blinding light!
There were small huddled shapes all around, all blinking at the light.
The Red Monster came up from the depths of the hungry mouth and smiled when he saw them.
"Well, little ones, it's time to see your new home for a little while."
Dreaming Eyes sniffled. So they weren't going to be eaten by the monster?
The Red Monster grabbed a few children's hands, then headed out towards the light.
Another monster came out of the darkness, and took her hand. This one was short and had a flat face.
Once they got into the light, they saw the sun almost disappearing below the ground, and Dreaming Eyes felt like it was whispering good-bye. It made her sad again, but she had no more tears left.


http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/old-mans-face.mp3
Quote:
The flat faced monster that held her hand, took her towards a giant spooky house.
It looks like an old man's face, drooping towards the ground, with the windows like tired, sad eyes and a hungry mouth for a door.
Dreaming Eyes dragged her feet but the monster wouldn't slow down.
It took her through the hungry door, over creaking boards, and through an even older, droopier door.
This place was very dim because all the windows were covered with boards and only some of the sun's last light peeked through, like a good friend's last wave good-bye.


http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/dance-all-over.mp3
Quote:
There were toys on the floor, little animals and cars and blocks that looked like someone had stopped playing without putting them away.
Splashes of colors were scattered around like a dance all over their room, and drawings of places and worlds Dreaming Eyes had never seen were viewed (?) along the wall.
Other children sat on beds made of metal (?) and rags, or played with the scattered toys


http://thewaytheirworldended.com//CLIP/on-her-arms.mp3
Quote:
This was not a good place. The flat faced monster let go of her hand, and started to go, but she clung to his leg
He pulled her off so hard that it left bruises on her arms and then he left the room, closing the door.


http://thewaytheirworldended.com/CLIP/look-around.mp3
Quote:
A short while later, the door opened a crack and the Red Monster stuck his head in, smiling happily. He looked at the children and told them to look around and play with each other, he'd be back soon.

Here's my attempt at piecing together the story pieces -- it doesn't seem like they all fit into one big image, just several smaller ones that go with the story...

Attempting to Map the Maze.
can't see the forest from the trees

Since we are being nudged to do this...I've been struggling to make sense of the maze at http://thewaytheirworldended.com/Q7J8R04J87FFJ983Q2/ .... trying to find some sort of simple pattern that would give direction to the lettered pairs without success.

Nuts, you say catherwood? That's not nuts... that's amazing!

This is nuts!

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rHopZz_AWdVD5CjeYTONkCw
Two pages of lettered paths.
I've tried approaching it from the end at JB on the first page. And just to explain a little about it. Read left to right, the lettered pairs' path are on the same line; blocks of letters are on the same columns. The * means that each pair of letters in the block/node have their corresponding exit/enter/return point.
It's no where near complete. I've set it so anyone can edit it (I think), so if anyone is so inclined, please do.
But mainly, I'm wondering... does anyone see any kind of pattern or sense to this mess?

P.S. If it's pink or not highlighted, it means it's incomplete.

Thanks for the catch up!

Thanks for that, that update helped me a load. I couldn't find many references in the forum, and figured I should ask Razz

But for the password for the Amber page, do you think it could be scrambled like the text in his entries?



EDIT: Just looked at the youtube channel.
Said last login one day ago, how does that work? I thought she was in hibernation..

SYS is, but while SYS has to hibernate, it seems that Essie doesn't. And as Essie grabbed S.4 (The "Youtube" process that SYS created), it's possible she's using that to check up on us, or plant clues, or something similar.

A Vague Kl00?

A Vague kL00??
Eridanos just tweeted this

Checking in. Seems I'm gaining an audience. Big surprise. No, I'm staying anonymous. For many important reasons, and 3 very dear to me.

We know one of those,

1. His daughter (Amber?)
2.?????????????????????
3.?????????????????????

these three might be the key to "amber"
