Ok, got it!

I've realised Ben woke up in the building NEXT to ecomax which means Jayden took him there - what is next to Ecomax?



Seems a likely place to grow medicinal herbs... I think we need to stop Ben and have him go back.

[EDIT] Well, Ben's not too happy with having to go back. But I spose if he doesn't it might mean the end of the world - so...

[EDIT] Ok, save for a fat woman nothing untoward has happened as of yet. Talaus King of Argo to the rescue!

[EDIT] He must not be far now, I'd really appreciate some help! I've told him that the best way to get inside would be to pretend to still be Jayden and to get in and out as fast as possible.

You have half an hour to respond. Otherwise I will follow emergency protocol Violet. I do not want to, but this project must not be disturbed Jayden.

My apologies, my Lord, a fuse blew and there was a power outage.
This country is ill equipped to deal with such weather.


What else should I write back?


What does she want an answer to? Has she asked a question? Report back that you are going to inspect the plants personally, maybe then they won't be suprised to find Jayden there. Yes?

You had me worried. In regards to moving them, we cannot disturb them at all - this is why the plants were in your care - you guaranteed their security.
What do you think is the plan?
Just order in Team Violet to be on guard if need be.
Failing that, I will hear from you on the 4th when I give you instructions on how to cultivate. Apologies for not trusting you until then - but immortality comes with a large concern - it isn't for everyone...


I should probably let just one person answer as Jayden, to not arouse more suspicion.

I've responded in simple terms, stating I remain on guard for meddling worms. Hopefully that'll put her at ease.

Edit - Claw, looked like she'd not yet read your message so I deleted it to avoid a double post suspicion. Hope that's ok

Yep - should be coming to a head soon, Ben's close.

I don't think we need to send any more messages to Meeka now, just make sure we can get Ben in and out safely having done the job.

Ok hes in a pitch black room - what do we know - could Vlad see in the dark? Did he have extrasensory powers which might help here?

[EDIT] I've got 10mins before I've got to go and get a bus, probably even less before I run out of battery power. Good luck guys, I'll catch up when I get back (probably about 45mins).

worked out where I was. I was in a flat above a shop of some sort [shutters were down. Luckily a shop was open next door [Ecomax! - good name for a song?] so I got some quick food then continued left until I got to the junction. Turned left, then a little bit then left again to the Underground station. Stamford something...

Good work all! (I hope). Very tempted to drop J in it by sending a "office drinks party might have got a bit out of hand..." message to MeeM but think it's best to leave it as long as possible before alarms are raised.

I guess I'm not really the right person to be reporting this, but this would mark the endpoint of this chapter -- the 15 Days of Darkness game has officially ended. Ironic how that would happen just when I was reading up on stuff, but that's my own fault I guess. I really should've given this game a higher priority, since I ended up falling off on the end, apparently missing some of the fun parts Razz

So, congrats to those of you who took responsibility for the fate of the world and heeded the call of the lyre -- hope you all had great fun.

I've also posted the details on my blog: http://verydistilled.blogspot.com/2011/01/vanessa-atalanta-oog-discussion.html in the hopes that we get a nice crowd going.

BTW - Partial eclipse and minor earthquake in Northern England? Must be a sign!

[EDIT] In addition - O has updated his Twitter feed a number of times:

Quote:

8:03pm Dec 22 2010
REVS 7: 12 - Saying, Amen: Blessing and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving,... (youtube http://youtu.be/jftOwxJWdRc?a)

Jan 3 2011
Reflecting on the year, those lost and gone, those saved and those who are unnaccounted for.Thedarkness and light remains in balance still?

Jan 4 2011
She who flutters&he who howled both reflect&dream.The bird who flex leaves his nest with one egg unhatched while Order changes once more#arg


Suggesting there are still developments to come - I mean, I assume we foiled MeeM's plans to cultivate the plants as they were fragile and could only be properly cultivated over the winter solstice/eclipse - so the time has passed.

She does, unfortunately, appear to be a classic Big Bad, and so I don't think she'll be totally stopped so easily. This was more of a "I'll get you next time, Gadget" moment than a "Oh what a world! What a world!" moment.

As for the bird, wolf and the unhatched egg: I had assumed that meant Ben (former, or current, member of OOO) and Claire (once imprisoned in a birdcage) - although if they have an unhatched egg, I suppose that would mean it would be, I dunno, a Griffon?

Or it could mean an unsolved puzzle, the most major of which I suppose might be Vlad's final message, which kinda got put to the wayside when we were concerned with solving the location of the plants/destroying them.

[EDIT AGAIN]
Ok, so new info on Ben's, Claire's and Vlad's FBs:

Ben posted the following:

Which isn't ROTed, and its too long for me to auto-anagram. Thats all I was able to get off FB before my phone gave out - anyone want to check out the other 2?

From Vlad:
Quote:

FINAL MESSAGE: SUBJECT: FROM THE TEMPLES HIGH

And the pale nations heard it, 'Misery!
I lift them, though they droop beneath the load...
...
Thou art immortal and this tongue is known
But to the uncommunicating dead.
Death is the veil which those who live call life;
They sleep, and it is lifted

IT WILL BE A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU ONE FINAL TIME.

And finally, from Claire:
