 		In on this (got the same email chain), but not currently time to follow up on it all, so lurking for now.

 		My framerate for these videos is absolutely terrible and I don't know why. Can somebody take them to youtube or something?

"Face to face". Well, there's face to face video chat provided by gmail, apparently.

We need to find the colour code of _____.jpg, and S02AT1 needs to be played around with. Maybe put through a couple ciphers.

 		SOLVED
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
R237G49B3 is indeed the password.


Not my doing. It leads to another video I can only barely watch, and links back to the same Twitter page.

Also, in the tumblr source code, there are these links:

I guess your computer is too slow for the HD videos. Have you tried to watch it with HD off (just click on the HD button in the right button corner)

Nevertheless, these are all high quality productions. I am impressed. Even though we are on a dead end at the moment.

 		Why is it that Charlie seems not to see the elephant people until he's come into contact with the little elephant thing, and his "10%"s seem to change upon interacting with them.

Whereas Oscar's done it backwards, he only sees the elephant person until he's grabbed it out of the sky?

I can't wrap my head around it.

And what's the significance of the people with the elephant heads, anyway?

 		Huh. So there is an HD button. Turning that off helps a little, but it's still too high quality to play perfectly. That's some pretty nice video quality there. I wish I could just see it properly.

Also, this 10% thing... "Here is Charlie's 10%!" "Elephant will be the 10% you wished you remembered." Sounds like a reference to, together, 20% of forgotten dreams. If that's right, it would be safe to assume this Oscar person has another 10%, making 30%. I expect more trippy elephant videos with other dudes.

 		odd...
i suppose i have just been inserting the password wrong for the past few hours..

anyways i looked at the source code
and i found this which wasn't part of the highlighted texts..



<html><!-- "What is it?" He whispered, but not to me.

<br>Charlie sat in silence, staring at me. He was remembering again. He was questioning it.

<br>He was confused.

<br>His eyes darted as he soared through the memories into the possibilities.

<br>They sharpened on me again. With hesitation, he reached out and brushed my ear.

<br>And then he shouted, madly.

<br>I spoke to him, but he could not understand, because he could not see my mouth. His eyes fluttered once more and this time I floated away.

<br>Up.

<br>And away.

<br>I called to him once more, and this time he heard me. -->

 		Well... this is all becoming extremely interesting...
So, it seems that this brown elephant thingy is able, when touched, to make someone see or remember part of the dreams he/she has forgotten (judging from the Charlie video and both hidden texts in the Tumblr page)...

Also, it seems that the Elephant (or whatever entity is able to do this) talks through the person, or at least it seems so to the person.

 		A new thought I just had, is whether or not we would get different information by signing up via Charlie's referral link(in the email).

He says the site didn't exist when he looked, but that he signed up for it because some friends on facebook mentioned it afterwards. Would it be possible to find Charlie's facebook?

I checked Charlie's stats, and it said it had 1 click and no sign ups, so I don't know. I can't sign up with my email, it just takes me back to my own stats.

 		Oddly enough, the last e-mail on the chain that was sent from whatiselephant gmail account is this one:

Here is Charlie's 10%!

- Elephant Wink


It was sent using Charlie's tmblr e-mail, but it is signed by Elephant... So, Elephant is not only able to talk though the person, but also to "use" the person's body?

I don't think we can assume that just yet. The whole tumblr "doesn't belong to Charlie anymore."

 		Can't we get Charlie more subscribers? If you follow his referral link (http://whatiselephant.com/jp8c5) and enter his e-mail, you not only get "3 clicks, 0 subscribers", but also a NEW referral link: http://whatiselephant.com/o69d1 , which seems odd to me.

I'm all out of e-mail aliasses right now, but it might help to give Charlie at least 3 subscribers.

Another thing I noticed, is that the email reads "I figured you should have this. I'm afraid you wont be able to meet Charlie face to face just yet." Both times, face is italic. Does this seem significant to anyone?
