[nyc_jester]

Well Jax Cafe is a real place. Pretty interesting. Might have to see how this one unfolds.

[Leyton Stone]

The Hotel also exists...

This is the one, in Japan. I'm assuming this is the one the matchbook's from considering the postage stamp and the writing on the back...

Jax Cafe looks like an entire, food town! Madness...

from zack's twitter and reading the newest journal entry i'd guess the journal and stuff belongs to gavin. anyone told zack someone found it yet?

[NeonRaine]

Hey all!
Does anyone think that the list of songs from the playlist have any significance?
Emylin refers specifically to Alice Human Sacrifice in her latest post so here's a link to a video with English subs:

What do you guys think? Morbid no? Anyway I searched VOCALOID as well, and apparently it is some form of Japanese music technology..

UPDATES

We've established that there are 5 'Alices' in total, Aokigahara Forest is most likely Wonderland and that Adrian Lee is the antagonist.
The possible order of the Alices is as follows
1 Zack
2 Gavin
3 Reiko
4 and 5 Emylin and David.

Gavin was the original author of the journal that was sent to Emylin, he was a singer and he committed suicide in Aokigahara forest.
Zack was his possible lover and he has gone to Japan in order to find Emylin, he stayed with Reiko but has since left. His current whereabouts are unknown, but he is still a key player.
While in Japan he found Emylin, she had unfortunately drowned and was found in Aokigahara forest.
Reiko claimed that she saw Emylin wandering through Aokigahara forest with minor scratches, but we are unsure whether this is true.
Zack swears he had nothing to do with it and blames Adrian.
Adrian is most commonly described as 'God' of wonderland. He's the main antagonist and Zack believes he was behind the deaths of both Gavin and Emylin. It is speculated that Reiko Asahi is a part of his 'cult'.
David is our other key character, he's Emylin's twin brother and the author of the Wonderland or Bust blog. He has come into contact with Adrian but has managed to evade him.

We are currently waiting for the next phase of the game, welcome down the rabbit hole folks.

There has been an update on the blog!

[quoteZack has arranged to meet us on Thursday, 6pm eastern/5pm central in Talk City's Perfectly Insane chat room. Making a user us really easy, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Anyway, new entry:

Poking around Tokyo. Tried to find the Himuro mansion, but without success. No one seems to know where it is, or if it even exists. Did hear about an interesting place, though. Aokigahara forest. It'd take some time to get up there, but it could be really awesome or really disturbing. Or both.
Still haven't gotten up the nerve to call that Zack Guy.[/quote]

A quick search of the places mentioned in the journal has turned up this:

Himuro mansion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Frame_(video_game)
Aokigahara forest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara

I'm starting to think that the idea of being 'spirited away' to some other world is kinda key to the plot...

Anywho, is anyone interested in attending to chat room meet? I'm thinking of attending myself once I figure out the time difference in my part if the hemisphere.

[Leyton Stone]

That's going to be 11pm GMT, so I'll probably lurk in there and gain some info.

Where is it you're located, Neon?

Hello to anyone following this! (Again)
Just ended the meeting with Zack, so I'm here to share.
Key things:
Gavin was researching myths and urban legends of Japan. He hung himself in Aokigahara Forest (see link above).

Zack believes that a dude called Adrian has kidnapped Emylin and that he was heavily involved in Gavin's death. Zack seems to think that this Adrian can hold an awful lot of influence over people... He also think that there is an entity or spirits in the Aokigahara forest that drives people to their deaths, he thinks this entity is Adrian.

He is going to check out the matchbooks and report back to us.

He also suggested that we rip apart Alice Human Sacrifice by VOCALOID (again see links posted above) as there are clues hidden in there somewhere.

My own personal theory is still that there is some sort of alternate world, and that it is likely to involve this Aokigahara Forest. But please please please chime in with any help or thoughts, I really don't want to puzzle this out on my own!
