Blood in his mouth???????????


I was wondering about the blood in his mouth...if that was real or my imagination


If someone bit their tongue after a seizure, you may have blood in your mouth....maybe its caesar the seizure man?

Although the cuts from biting the tongue occur on the lateral portions of the tongue...the left lateral looks pretty good w/o lacerations

Looks to me like he had candy or a throat lozenge; not blood.

Oh and another thing to check out. Is the CD multisession? Probably not but worth asking I think, in case there's anything extra in a previous session.


How do I determine that?

I can tell you that the brand of the CDis "imation". CD-R, 700MB/80MIN, Compact disc recordable (logo).

The disc number is 5121FH081LH 3574 D3 if anyone cares (certainly not a clue).

Also, did you try putting it into an audio CD player to see if anything happens?

I'm not privvy to all the different methods to make a mixed-mode CDDA and Data CD, but it's possible that there are audio tracks on there also, and your computer might not "see" them...

It's worth a try Very Happy

Most CD Burning software should be able to tell you that, look for an option to display disc info, or perhaps "import previous session".
Nero (for example) has an option to continue previous session, which should show you a list of sessions on the disc.
Also some versions of windows allow you to select the session you want to access. My XP used to do it, but for some reason doesn't anymore Confused

I'll check that out when I get home. It did ask me when I put it in... but I think it was just the normal things for a CD with photos. Do you want to copy them or browse them, etc. I'll check again though.

Also, in regards to it having been left there in January (or not) I can say this - the guy had the envelope VERY accessible. It was basically right on the shelf under the cash register. If it had been sitting there a year, I would suspect it would be hidden away somewhere under some junk in a file. Or it would be dustier (it was very clean, though it was wrinkly as if it had been mailed).


I'm nearly 100% sure that the envelope/CD isn't from a couple of years ago or whenever... It's almost for sure from very recently. Like I said, in terms of the "game", we're supposed to believe that it came from that time, so for the sake of advancing our story, etc, we can assume that it's been sitting in the Cafe for that long.

Of course, like I said earlier, the guy there was either paid to help out, or he's one of the PMs or a friend of one of the PMs, but that's just "mechanics" of the game --- stuff that for the sake of enjoying the game that you "forget" about Wink

Pardon me, but in the "No Trespassing" photo the numbers aren't

099
199

They are 660 and 661. The serifs on the 1 are the wrong way around. Plus that means the numbers are sequential.

trip. You should make a disc image or ISO of the cd.

This way we can all have our own copies of it.

Need some kind of Disc duplicator like FireBurner.

Indeed, and the one behind that seems to be 659, which fits. Maybe these tiles are used to designate a certain part of the market hall? I must say I'm not very familiar with these kinds of markets, as we don't have them in my country. Saw them in Spain once though...

 		The tiles are from Pike Place
http://www.portlandpublicmarket.com/PortlandPublicMarket-FAQ.html

The tiles in the photo are from a tile program that was run in the mid-80's. Both names and numbers were allowed. There were only a limited number of sections that had these tiles.

Main and North Arcades, Desimone Bridge, and Flower Row.

 		To me, "lk wa" means Lake Washington. To get from Seattle to Redmond (or Redland as we know it), you actually drive over Lake Washington, so this would make sense.

 		Strangeness:

Pic 25 has dimensions of 1602 x 1200 pixels

Pic 26 is 1599 x 1200 pixels

The others are a normal 1600 x 1200. Note that those two are the ones right after the woman gets "taken over" or whatever it is that's happening to her.

This is probably trivial, but who knows?

 		I am now hosting a copy of the CD at http://s88749232.onlinehome.us/cd.iso . It looks like those files are all there is on there.

The first thing that stuck out to me was that the middle two digits are consecutive numbers 59 and 60. Maybe the outer two sets of digits (19 and 12) should be looked at in that order? But why would 1912 have any significance?
