Well, it could be...
Just my question is, where had she got all the pics. I tried to re-track them with tinEye etc. but couldn't find any origin. I think, if the pics aren't related to Gwaschemasch'e, than it's really just an emotional and excentric beauty.

(Because if it's an ARG and all the pics - especially that one with "Grand Mother Cult" - were produced for this ARG, it would be highly awesome).


I've found 2 pics more from her FB photo album surfing on internet. Both of them plus one more are real pictures from real photographers. Two of them from Abdullah Frèrès (see at the bottom of the frame at "unknow boy" and "kadin efendi" pictures)

Also, Junko's new post on FB has a comment from a profile that seems devoted to her.

Bets for ARG?

 		OK, first contact.

I asked her per Private Message in Facebook:

Quote:
I feel the beauty
I feel the origin
I feel the power and fragility
I feel the light and I want protect it.

How can I help you?


and she answered:

Quote:
Hello Sasha,

You make many declarations.)))

Thank you for saying in Russian other day. It is very good relations. How do you know this?

You can help me by seeing beyond what is not difficult. Are you close to your mother Sasha?

Am,
Junko


Ehm... what about my mother? My mother is definitely OOG Smile

And then Junko posted on my wall following:

Quote:
When you commune do so directly with me Sasha. Remember that beings who are preyed upon often have most keen senses.

Blessed Be,
Junko

And a link to youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHususa_mL4

It's a scene from my favourite movie, "Dreams" by Akira Kurosawa.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreams_(film)
This is as far as I remind it, first scene from this movie, depicting the childhood: the mother tells her child not to go in the forrest while it's raining from a clear sky. Because in this time the foxes (kitsune, anybody? Wink) are celebrating the wedding:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune (how often have I drop this link here at uF btw Wink)

But the boy doesn't listen at her and walks in the woods. He see the marriage foxes and foxes pretend to see him. As the boy comes home, his mother doesn't let him in. She gives him a knife and tell to go to the origins of the ranbow, where he has to apologize for his discourousness before the foxes.

So I suppose, it's an ARG. And perhaps - just perhaps - I know, who is PM, and this means, it isn't an ARG, but a great ARG. (I was wrong about my PM feelings). ~kosmopol

Just please, be nice and let my mother out of game, OK? Very Happy

P.S. About Thomas Vincent Nicol I have no clue... If he's somebody of us, please drop a message. Unless we've to be suspicious Smile
P.P.S. Does somebody know "The Knife - Marble House"? It sounds mesmerizing. She posted a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZZuIK-50NA
and wrote:
Quote:
On the inside of this marble house I grow
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too


P.P.P.S. Before I'm going breakfast:

I found something about Marble House:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_House_(song)

Quote:
Music video

Two music videos have been made for this song, both of which can be found on the deluxe edition of Silent Shout. One depicts an early 1900s or late 1800s family, presumably one in a British Colony in Asia. The second video depicts a day in the lives of a family of mice, who have built a fairly comfortable house behind a wall in a human house. It uses stop-motion animation.


A hint?

 		Nice song but Marble House lyrics seem to have lots of meanings. The video with day in the life of a family of mice can help to understand what it's related to:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb616gPGY2I

Imo Junko's storytelling can be connected to the Caregiver Archetype. This archetype is related to God and the symbols of caregiving express a powerful maternal figure.

Somebody knows what the symbol on the Junko's twitter profile means?

A Caregiver Archetype - that's interesting! Thank you for the idea.

This symbol:

on her twitter profile I cannot really identify. Looks like a sun in an triangle.

Btw, seeng at another sign

I don't know why, bu I have to think about Graal.

 		Junko's new post just on FB:
Quote:
Junko Junsui´s sisters now find sanctuary in the pure light of our electric window.


Cryptic. I have no idea what she's talking about.

Anyway, once more time I'm surprised the clever way she manages her post on each channel.

P.S. I think that discovering the meaning of that symbol on her twitter profile could help us to understand who Junko is and what she stands for.

 		It's good idea. I think, I almost feel, she's not alone out there...
I asked her, which electric window does she mean. Is there perhaps one online ressource we haven't found right now?

If it's the same PM I'm thinking, he does tend to treat his games more like a "work of art" than an actual game. This would be his style.

Yes, I know, what you mean. I am also not really sure about the PMs right now, just some feelings and signs...

Let's see, how the story will be developed. At the moment Junko interacts with us, so perhaps we just have to understand her language...

UPDATE. OK, I do understand her language. Since she writes in Russian on my wall:

Quote:
Помни, что за тем, что расскажет тебе лисица стоит гораздо большее. Власть лисицы тем больше, чем больше ее территория. Она учится с каждым новым опытом.


translated:

Quote:
Remember, there is more behind the things fox will tell you. The power of fox is the mightier the huger is its area. She (fox) learns after her every new experience.


It was Russian. I mean, without any mistakes. I think, I will avoid my meta speech and wull better continue to follow the fox.

 		Hi all! Have been watching and just got a reply when I wrote this to her fb post mentioning electric window.
Quote:
Many thoughts arise from reading "electric window." Do you mean this window where all can come and speak our truths? I am happy to meet you.

To put it even more precisely, the quote is from Clouds of Witness, i.e. that of Sayers's Wimsey novels where the official fiancé of Mary, Lord Peter's sister, is murdered and the entire family is drawn into the investigations, with Peter's and Mary's brother, Duke Gerald, being the prime suspect. That sentence is spoken by Sir Impey Biggs, Gerald's solicitor. (In the end, it turns out that the "victim" actually committed suicide ...)

 		Yey! Yey! I have many reasons to be happy.

1) Junko answered me on my question, whether she has sisters:

Quote:
Yes I have sisters in multitude Alex.


2) I've got a message. By somebody named Diyne Seteney
http://www.facebook.com/diyne.seteney

Here is it:

Quote:
ALEX, I SEE WHO YOU ARE. I SEE NO REASON WHY YOU WATCH MY SISTER. YOUR LIES TO SPEAK IN EARNEST AND REPORT BACK ON HER. YOU WILL NOT BE LIKE OUR BENEFACTORS KEEPING US ALWAYS FROM BIRTH UNDER A WATCHFUL EYE. NOW YOU OFFER FRIENDSHIP BUT KEEP DOSSIER? THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/41081271@N06/3780685138/


And if you go to this flickr account, you'll see this picture:



On the paper is written "осквернилась", which does mean "[she] is dishallowed/tainted/befouled"

Normally, I'd be scary. Very scarry. Because the dude on the pic is me.

Bu the truth is, here is original of the picture:

[img]deleted by kosmopol/img]

[META]I sent this picture once to Yori Tanaka, a greet ARG "Conspiracy 08". This confirms all my thoughts about the PM of this game and I am now very in, without beeing worry about this weren't an ARG. [/META]
Actually, it's a mystery, how this image get to PM of this ARG. Since I was wrong about a PM. ~kosmopol

Yeah, now we have another contact: Diyne Seteney.

Let's try to get her, but it seems to be a little bit complicated, since she seems to be paranoid.

Ah, and her userpic is actually "Jaroslava" by Alphonse Mucha
http://lia2.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/alphonse-maria-mucha-jaroslava/

An Art Nouveau ARG - that's just beautiful.

 		Diyne Seteney - an anagram of "teenie sydney"? "Destiny ne eye"? "Tense eyed yin"? IMO, that name sounds fishy ... On the other hand, however, it can be found in a list of Circassian names on the WWW:

Diyne ("Deena; literally: our eye")
Seteney ("Satanay; name of one of the Nart heroines, and a beautiful flower")

According to a Wikipedia entry, Satanay is
Quote:

the mother of the Narts, a fertility figure who is also an authority over her children. She is often cast in the light of a "wise woman" or matriarch, which mirrors the relative freedom of women in Northwest Caucasian societies generally. Satanaya can be compared to the Greek Demeter, with whom she shares many traits

 		Yeah, FWIW, that pretty much convinces me of the PM as well.

Probably not going to be actively playing - these games are usually too much too keep up with, and I do have other things to do - but they sure are fun to watch.

Have fun guys, and let me know if you need anything!
