I'm in, Neon. I was going to lurk, but then I noticed you seemed to be doing a lot by yourself.
This does seem all very engaging. My investigating has been has been hindered, though, 'cause Wikipedia seems to be down Sad
Has anyone made contact with Zack on Facebook yet?

Zack's twitter account:
http://twitter.com/1stAlice

this may be obvious, but the name of his twitter account sems to reference the first verse of "Alice Human Sacrifice", a song mentioned a few times on the blog. Below is the relevent verse:

The first ALICE was a gallant red one
Wielding a sword in a hand in the wonderland
Slicing down everything in her way
She was followed by a bloody red path. This new ALICE deep in the woods Was trapped as a wanted fugitive
If it weren't for the red path that she made
No one would think that she even existed.

EDIT: I have contact! I got back a message from Zack on Facebook saying simply "asahi.reiko@yahoo.com", seemingly the e-mail of the woman he is staying with in Hakone.

This looks really interesting! I'm on board.

In the new blog post, we were given a direct link to another Alice Human Sacrifice video. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZviUloU5qRE

The translations in that video are pretty much the exact same as Athosan posted, with a few tweaks here and there. They are:

The first Alice was a brave one./With a sword in hand, he entered Wonderland./Cutting down countless creatures/he left a red path in his wake./That Alice is in the forest/locked away as a sinner./Aside from the red path he made in the forest/there is no sign he existed.

Now for my super-obvious conclusions:

I think the first Alice had to be Gavin, since he's been seen in dreams as being chained up and locked away. Also, since we were given a link to a video that specifies the first Alice as male when all the others I've seen leave her as female.

At first, I thought Emylin might be the second Alice, but there's a much more appropriate answer in the song- Emylin and her brother as the fourth Alice(s). In the video, the fourth Alice(s) are called twins, and I don't know if we've found that out yet or not... but the fourth verse is pretty close to what David's been dreaming:

A stubborn older sister./An intelligent younger brother/They came close to the first Alice, but.../Never to awaken from their dream/they're lost in Wonderland.

Plus, Emylin called David "smarty" (very loose connections, I know, but since the clues don't seem to be that subtle so far...) and we know that Emylin is older than him.

ETA: The queen David saw in his dream... Possibly the 3rd Alice?

First of all, yay! Other people!

Second of all, I agree with you Nessa, which means there'll be 5 'Alices' in total. I think that Zack could possibly be the third or second Alice. And he could be the Asian guy that David is dreaming about..

I emailed the address Zack gave us and am waiting a response!

Also David said that his psychiatrist is called Adrian... who is the main antagonist of the game, I've told him to stop seeing him, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Oh! Maybe Adrian is the first Alice as he seems to be leading people to their deaths...

Does anybody else think that Aokigahara = wonderland?

D'oh, forgot about Zack! I mean, his twitter is even called "1st Alice". So, now we have two possible candidates...

I definitely think there's a connection between wonderland and Aokigahara.

And David responded to my question on his blog: he and Emylin are twins. So I'm thinking they're absolutely, positively, 100% the 4th Alice(s).

So as far as we know:

1) Zack?
2)Gavin?
3)David seems to think it's Reiko Asahi, still haven't received a response to my email yet.
4 & 5) Emylin and David.

I hate waiting around for emails lol.

(Sorry for posting so much!)

Just got a message from Zack on FB. It seems that Gavin is the 2nd Alice, because Zack said he was a singer at that Cafe in MN.

Awesome!
So I think that we pretty much know who our Alice's are now.
I received my response of Reiko, you'll have to ignore my stupid questions, this ARG stuff is still quite new to me.

I sent
Quote:

Um, hello.

Sorry to email you out of the blue like this but Zack gave me your email. I'm not sure why though. Did he go to Aokigahara?

Best regards,
Kat


Quote:

Ah. Hello.

Yes. I live just outside the forest. He's staying with me at the moment, making plans for a long-term exploration. Some kind of camping trip, I think.

Reiko


Quote:

Hello again!

Do you know how long he's planning on going for? Has he mentioned why he's camping out there?

Kat


Quote:

He hasn't said anything. He had a lover who committed suicide there, so maybe it's just some kind of memorial type thing?
And I don't know how long he'll be out there.

Reiko


And finally I sent
Quote:

Yeah it could be for a memorial. I was just a bit worried about him as he said that Adrian had been contacting him. Did you know his lover at all? Could you tell me anything about Adrian by any chance?

Kat


Ah, I'm not very good at this whole thing. I will think of better questions!

What do you guys make of the code grid David posted in the blog? I am completely stumped by it.

Just checked on Zack's FB profile and there are a bunch of squares there, managed to decipher something by shoving it into word

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Oh little one my little one
come with me your life is...
forget the future
forget the past
life is over
breathe your last


Things are not sounding good folks.

a reply from zack on FB

Zack Arima I have failed, and they know it. They blame me. They should. I swore to protect this town, but I can't. The streets decay before our eyes. The curse we always feared has come upon us.

ME your friend said you were going to stay in the forrest? how did that go? who's the order?
Zack Arima We need to talk. Tell those working with you that I'll be in the chat at mugglenet(dot)com, in a channel called Emylin13.
3 hours agoZack Arima This will be tomorrow night at 9pm Eastern time, 10 central.

Just posting to say that I'm in.

I'm pretty sure the antagonist is going to be the "little dream" here and it's probably going to be an "entity in the woods." I have a feeling that Zack is not going to be with us for very much longer, his purpose was to drag us further down the rabbit hole and put us in contact with our main point of contact for the arg. I SHOULD be in that chat tonight, should be interesting.

I should point out that I have been to aokigahara and it is every bit as creepy as you think it is. Shocked

I can't wait to see how far down the rabbit hole we can go Laughing

I'm UK based so if I'm not asleep at those times and I can figure out the time differences, I'm in.

Have received another response from Reiko

Quote:

I tried to send a reply, but my computer is having issues. So I'll try again.

I did know Gavin. He and Zack and I would always go places together, usually somewhere haunted or creepy. We were a team, I suppose.

Adrian is god.

Reiko


Interestingly, in my inbox this morning I also received an email from Adrian.

Quote:

Forgive me for contacting you so suddenly, without prior introduction. I am simply curious to know why you are so interested in this little world I have created. Surely your self-interest would have kicked in by now and kept you from pursuing this further? Or is your life so boring that you are willing to throw it away for a thrill?

Adrian


I sent back something suitably sarcastic and asked about Emylin and Zack. If anyone else would like to email him his address is:
