 		New message from Claire.

Quote:
illness and spreading the info
Between Dawn Ellison, You, Rêveuse Bleue, Amandel Am and Claire Hoskyns

get better soon dawn - crap being ill - my brothers got i - does mean i've almost scanned everything now [scanner has a copy function] just got to work out how to divide it all up.
Unsure if I should pull apart notebooks or what? there's lots of 'bis' as well, scraps of paper - anyone want one thing or another? theres a few pictures notebook, sorry two, and some printouts of what looks like, well jibberish [lines with numbers and letters on, like a scifi film from the 50s or something]
will wait on what you have to say.


I sent these as replies. The first being to the actual message. The second being in a chat.
Quote:
Personally, I don't think pulling apart notebooks is a great idea, but, if you think it's the best way to divide it up, then it's your choice. I'll take anything really.

Sent it as a reply to that message you sent everyone, but, just to say it again. I don't think you should take apart any notebooks. Two reasons. One - because if something gets messed up in the process, that would be bad. Two - dividing up the pages would mix them and make them harder for us to tell what goes with each.

Number two is a double-edged-sword. If they were intercepted, someone would have them all. I have a solution for that though

If you told each person the pages you were sending them ahead of time, we could inform eachother of which after each was scanned.

You tell us online privately so we each have that information. Don't include it with the actual shipments.

Hopefully that helps you with deciding on how to do things Smile

Been wondering about that myself. I could have sworn that at some point earlier, he mentioned a "machine". I could be wrong and/or getting all kinds of confused, but I think he's mentioned something like this before. It was earlier -- close to when we first started having contact with him.

 		I could be wrong, but didn't he mention a machine in relation to his little 'abilities'?
Like 'sensing' V was alright, and all that stuff..

I may just be confusing it with something else..

New blogs. One I missed from yesterday, and one from today. I'm not going to bother quoting those just to take up half the page.

LOL, Finding Nemo spoiler
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ahem, having watched "Nemo" numerous times, this is from the beginning of the film where Marvin's wife and all the eggs (except Nemo, of course) are eaten.


Re: The family tree
I haven't checked the tribal pages account in a while, but she always listed Guilietta Guicciardi as an ancestor?

ETA: Don't know if this will mean anything in the long wrong, but V responded to one of my status updates about having a creepy attic, by saying Uncle J's attic is creepy, too and she's going to take pictures.

I'm calling it now.
Vlad is a vampire living in the attic, feeding off the blood of thought to be dead poets.

I saw that the message from "dept 18" was already mentioned here but just happened to check my copy to find some hidden text toward the bottom:

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned. The hidden text appears at the bottom of the message at the end like this:

I checked again, because I didn't remember seeing anything. Then I realized, "Hurr durr, it's hidden".

Found the proper link for the "Board? 896 8" tag in the rooks' pic album. Butterfly Boards is more than chess moves alone.

ok-unc just creeped me out.like the magic trick when i was 21.asked me f i wanted to learn to play or not.I said yes+he said once i know...

once i know i can never unknow something. said for me to think about it. i sort of sulked, and went off. doe she want me to play or nt?


I have a bad feeling about this.

And an FB update:
Quote:
fel like that guy in shakespeare - shoul i play or not? all i want to o is make hm feel beetter as he hasn got much time left but he said i should alsways think about my actions and what effects they have - quantum chss?!!! feel like picard or something else scifi now!


Edit:
Got a personal FB message from V.
Quote:
what do you think i should do - he's bing really odd - prob another big joke but i nver forgot my 21st new year and never forgot mum nd now - will i never forget this - is it more than a game - getting spooked tbh!


I don't like where this is headed, so I'm going to advise her not to play for now. We've been saying all along that this is more than just a game of chess. Can't put my finger on it -- call it intuition or something -- but I'm getting a weirded out, creeper vibe right now.

Edit the second:
Here's my covo with V so far:

Dawn January 5 at 8:53am
My gut right now is telling me that you shouldn't play. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's just me being silly or maybe it's "woman's intuition"...idk. Sometimes it's best to go with your instincts and if your heart and mind are saying "this is spooky", it very well might be. Can you just avoid Unc J for today or just tell him you have some stuff to work on?

Vanessa Atalanta January 5 at 10:41am
I'm staying at his house, were snowed in - he's even got rid of his nurse for today saying" she's not to be trusted even"" i mean, what's THAT suposed to mean - i'm alone now with him, he knows i can 't leave him in case he gets worse - for now, he's playing me it seems and i'm not liking it - only way may be to play him...

 		Sorry to double post, but I didn't feel like editing again. V chatted with me on FB, but had to leave before we could hash it all out.

sorry - sounded likfe buffy there
10:58amDawn

hey girl

i hated dawn on buffy
10:58amVanessa

she wasn't that good was she

anyhow
10:58amDawn

something's weird with all this

feels...off
10:58amVanessa

i got to make my mind up - i understand about the whole female thing - after a few days ago where i was almost channling my mum it seems

yeah but whats that based on- tell me - have you spoken to that creepy guy or anyone else?

he wants to start at half four just afetr sun goes down
11:00amDawn

i spoke to him a couple times. he was odd. really super smart. too smart for me, i think, lol. but i think he was trying to watch out for you. i'm not sure about everything. kinda confusing and being on sick meds makes me loopy
11:01amVanessa

sick meds aint god

good*

hatetyping god as good even though thats where we get the world fom
11:01amDawn

true SmileSmile
11:02amVanessa

my uncles really religious - like this priest or bishop or something
11:02amDawn

really? like a real bishop with a church? or just really religious?
11:02amVanessa

i mean not orxained but wt he doesn't know abot the bible aint worth knowing

even has a bok with all the bits missing in it
11:02amDawn

missing bits from the bible?
11:03amVanessa

apocrophya [think typed that right

having a governemnt nurse help has been really good
11:03amDawn

you lucky brits and your health care RazzRazz
11:04amVanessa

so apart from creepy guy ooking out for me [following me and stalking me and such] and your gu theres no reason

yeah we are lucky never thought about it really - mum had to py a lot when i was in america that time

anyhow - if any of you ot come up with a reason fb me ok?

gonna get a sandwich

byesebye


I didn't know how much to tell, really. I mean, will playing chess with her uncle make her the Red Queen? I sent her a FB message telling her this sounded like a cult activity of some sort. I was going to ask about "channeling her mum", but she left before I could ask.

Edit: She needs a good reason not to play. I told her to talk to her uncle, since there's a lot they need to discuss. I encouraged her not to play, but can't come up with a good reason for it.

 		Off topic : these 'Strawberried peanutbutter' M&Ms are like..orgasmic.

Any way. In response to Claire's wall post of :

 		They have coconut M&Ms where I work, but I'm afraid to try them.

Claire posted a comment to one of my status updates, in reply to V's comment about her uncle's attic being creepy and wanting to take pictures.

Quote:
Claire Hoskyns
shudder - hat house was always creepy - we called him dorian grey once - he DIDn't like that at all - said we shouldn't go up there. heck - we weren't gonna - we were young girls and spiders lived up there!!!! damn 8-legged freaks! prefer 9s you know though nthing i know has 9 legs or anything really does it - , odd number really.


It also looks like V is taking her horoscope to heart:
Quote:

There may be a very meaningful encounter during this time - with your partner, someone close to you, or someone whom you have never met before. This encounter will be so deep and personal that you will have the opportunity to perceive and possibly even discuss things about yourself that you have preferred to suppress up to now, and not reveal to anyone. Thus, you have the chance to behave differently and, for once, to act out of character and acknowledge your injury or sensitivity, without having to fear being hurt or rejected once more.
