Just had a chat with Yori. Was unable to salvage the first half of the chat because it was my first time using Facebook chat and I'm pretty stupid, but she's having trouble sleeping because she's tired (Lolwut? Could be due to whatever they fed her. Didn't AtheNA cause a fatal case of insomnia?), and seems to not remember me at all (Obviously). We talked about video games a bit, and I kind of mentioned how I want to be a game developer when I grow up. That's where the following chat picks up:

Quote:
Tanaka

really? what kind of game?

platformer game?
12:17pmIlly

Dunno. I'm into all kinds of games.
12:17pmTanaka

whats your favorite?
12:17pmIlly

Hmmm...

That's probably a three-way tie between Phantom Brave, Shadow of the Colossus, and Portal.

And maybe Mirror's Edge.
12:18pmTanaka

oh.... mmmh... they.. have cool names?
12:18pmIlly

I'm kind of indecisive when it comes to questions like "What's your favorite?" XD

They do, I'll give you that XD
12:18pmTanaka

What is your favorit Illy! i demand it!
12:18pmIlly

Just one?

Hmm. Mirror's Edge
12:19pmTanaka

yeah

oh, i cant play it, but if i ever can, ill try it

whats it about?

not to fall from a mirror?
12:20pmIlly

Basically, you're a person who runs secret messages to people where the government can't see

So you run around on rooftops and evade policemen and such
12:20pmTanaka

how about a cellphone?
12:20pmIlly

It's a lot cooler than it sounds. It's like being a ninja XD

Cellphones? Sure, they can do that.

Why, planning to hire one? WinkWink
12:21pmTanaka

lol
12:22pmTanaka

oh, someones talking to me. brb
12:24pmIlly

Alright.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acD6s4E3xso

Little video of Mirror's Edge, when you get back WinkWink
12:27pmTanaka

omg, thats first person orgasmic!
12:28pmIlly

That's one way to put it XD
12:28pmTanaka

do you use guns too?

or just run
12:28pmIlly

You can, but...

It's generally discouraged, because carrying a big heavy gun around makes it harder to jump from rooftop to rooftop

That, and killing is bad >:O>:O
12:29pmTanaka

might not be bad if people are trying to kill you
12:29pmIlly

True, but... It's still something to be avoided when possible, no?
12:30pmTanaka

so you just run?

is that it?
12:30pmIlly

Mostly.

There's some karate, too

If you want to fight a cop without killing him
12:30pmTanaka

meh, boring

but

ill play it and see
12:31pmIlly

XD

Could not connect to Facebook Chat at this time.

Alright, sounds good

Alright, sounds good
12:31pmTanaka

Well i am going to let you so i can get some very very very late snack

laters

^___^
12:32pmIlly

Seeya!
12:32pmTanaka

bye bye


Summary: Nothing too interesting, other than possible AtheNA poisoning mentioned waaaay at the beginning of my post. She's a bit more... I don't know. Agressive? Less ladylike? Than last year, though. Also, "OMG, that's first person orgasmic!" is my new favorite quote.

Chatting w/ Yori now! Will post a chat log in a bit when we are done but this is important:

She has a barcode tattoo on her neck that when scanned reads: alma6

What do you make of that?

IneffaBelle: that's it?
IneffaBelle: hmm ok i'll run it by my friends and see if we can make something of it
IneffaBelle: i wonder why they would bother to tattoo that to you
Tanaka Yori (1136343360): beats me

Quote:

Tanaka Yori (1136343360): ive seen that monkey around!
IneffaBelle: really?
IneffaBelle: hmmm
Tanaka Yori (1136343360): its albino and crazy looking
IneffaBelle: i'll check it out
IneffaBelle: oh did you ask them about a helper monkey or crow for me?
Tanaka Yori (1136343360): helper monkey
Tanaka Yori (1136343360): they just ignore me


The rest is mostly irrelevant but I'm attaching the chat log anyway...

Anyway, Drakurius from Patmo discovered news about eve-16:

To Japanese on the website:

北海道 means Hokkaido

In Sector 3:
Project 覚醒
means: Project Awakening

And weird:
I found in cache this picture: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/swkT07TP-mo/hqdefault.jpg
And this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/75894892/Photo_876_normal.jpg (twitter userpic)

I actually cleared my cache before I opened the website.


Anybody else?

UPDATE: New music: Requiem by Mozart.

Same thing happened to me with the last piece of music - it's the thumbnail image from the Youtube page where the music is pulled from.

Not much to add... @kos>> I didn't get the twitter pic when I ran it, so whatever that means. The other one is again the video pick for the youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkT07TP-mo
(D'Oh... Toasty beat me.)

New map below.

I'm pretty sure the blog is OOG. Here's the translation version if anyone wants to read it. I can't stay on that page for more than like 10 seconds though...

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Falma6.blogspot.com%2F&sl=pt&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

ETA: Two images from the EVE-16... First the overhead in case anyone wants to play geopik. The second just 'cause that's the Junker logo 'carved' into the cistern wall. Coolness.

Edit2: I'm gonna take a WAG here and say that Yori is a clone. Alma in Spanish or Portuguese is 'soul' ('nourishing' in Latin). I think they did a memory upload, which is why the memory loss and why she was a veg at the trial.

I found... something on the new Eve-16 page. No idea what it is yet. Do I need to put all finds as a spoiler?

I spent the last hour trying to pull that picture out of my cache, finally found it but you beat me to posting it. Do those little letters on the left say Arho'r?

Also, because I was too excited to add it earlier, I found the redirect page on http://junkercorporation.com/#/eve16/4532764459 in the black space to the right of the page, across from the staff member's names. Pure fluke, startled the heck out of me actually.

I've spent the last few minutes looking for a match for the arial image of the HQ. The only thing I've learned is that the first Japanese character means North.

Site B would appear to be Mount Yōtei?
