So.. interesting.

I was just woken up from my nap by a phone call from a private number. Normally I don't answer private numbers... so I ignored it, and rolled back over.

But as soon as I did, it rang again. So.. hesitantly, I answered. And the first thing I heard was a long, drawn out, and very Joker-esque "Hellooooooooooooooooooooo~!" with a cackle.

Long story short, it was Apate and Dolos. Imagine me sitting straight the fuck up in bed. It happened.

I didn't get much out of him, question wise, and it was somewhat on purpose because I wasn't ready for this, and I wanted to record it, but I couldn't fumble around quickly enough. All I asked him was who Lyssa was, how he was doing, how I thought he'd died..

He bantered for awhile, and he told me Lyssa was mad that he grabbed her ass -- but he did tell me that she's the nice girl that's been bringing him egg salad.

The rest of what was said sounded like one of his emails. A lot was said about him having to remember social graces, and why they couldn't accept him for who he was. Before I could ask another question, he bid me adieu.


This worked wonderfully in previous ARGs, and I'm going to employ it again for this one - getting Audacity and recording all phone calls, because I definitely only barely recalled what I just wrote.

EDIT: He also said "Aisa says hello, by the way." as he finished up. Curious.

E2: And now I'm having a pissing contest with Lyssa. I'll quote it when it's done.

E3: Just did some digging on Lyssa, not sure if it's already been done - if so, I apologize for any redundancy.


"LYSSA was the goddess or daimona (spirit) of rage, fury, raging madness, frenzy, and, in animals, of the madness of rabies. The Athenians spelt her name Lytta.

Lyssa was closley related to the Maniai, the goddesses of mania and madness. Her Roman equivalent was variously named as Ira, Furor or Rabies. Sometimes she was multiplied into a host of Irae and Furores."

Lyssa

"In Greek mythology, the Maniae (singular: Mania) are a spirit or group of spirits personifying Insanity, madness and crazed frenzy. They operate closely with Lyssa, the spirit of mad rage, frenzy and rabies; and, like, Lyssa, are presumed to be daughters of Nyx. They are also associated with the Erinyes, the three fearsome goddesses of vengeance."

Interesting. I can already see she's nuts. She's here to make us go crazy. Or something. How funny, it's another sibling. Also a daughter of Nyx.

Christ, everything Nyx pushes out of her is insane.

And big E4: Here comes the convo. Some useful stuff, some not so useful. Overall, fun as shit though. I like this person.

Lyssa and I wrote:

Calm down there, coke-fiend.

I heard Apate grabbed your ass. You must be hot - well, then again, he's crazy, so you could be a fatty for all I know.

I heard you were a 6 - that's pretty far off from a God (Goddess, actually, I'll correct you for you). Long way to go before becoming a 10 (which is what I assume to be Godhood).

So, who are you to The Nobility? What's your place in all this?


Lyssa wrote:
I'M NOT EVEN HIGH RIGHT NOW I'M JUST WINNING

ALSO FUCK YOU MY LOOKS ARE NONE OF YOUR GOD DAMN BUSINESS, GO THROW YOURSELF INTO A FIRE

AND I'M A 10, NOT A 6, AND NO, I AM A FUCKING GOD. NOT A GODDESS.

TO THE NOBILITY? I'M THEIR SOON TO BE MURDERER.


Me wrote:
Right, right you have to kill them to set us all free, blah, blah.

Why? What are your motives behind all this? Why do you have to kill them?

To be frank, the whole numbers thing is starting to worry me just a little bit - it's been like 2 weeks since I first emailed them, and ever since I found out I was an 8, the damn thing pops up wherever it pleases. I still don't know what the Nobility want with me, or any of us - your boytoy, Apate, sure hasn't told me much. I'd love to know what's going on.

So, 9s hurt you. Yet you're a 6. Or supposedly a 10. I haven't seen much proof of you being a Goddess. Like, nothing at all. You're acting more like a 6 if anything. Y'know, cause they say the lower the number, the more feral, the more degenerate, that sort of shit.





Also, is this you? Seems fitting of a 6. (See: attachment. *Caps-Lock meme*)


Lyssa wrote:
HAHA YOU'RE PRETTY COOL BRO. I HOPE THEY DON'T KILL YOU.

AND NOW THAT THE SYNCHRONICITY HAS GOTTEN TO YOU, YOU'RE STUCK WITH THEM. YOU CAN'T GET OUT.

STOP FUCKING CALLING ME A GODDESS THOUGH OR I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF


Me wrote:
Come at me, bro.

And who would kill me besides you? Agrius seems to like me - though I haven't heard from him in awhile. Maybe I'll go knocking on his door. You two seem like you'd get along, all kinds of crazy up in hurr.


Lyssa wrote:
AGRIUS IS JUST A DELUSIONAL MORON

What's his story anyways?

The Nobility? Why would they kill us? We're their, uh, "Saviors". Or did you not get that memo?


Lyssa wrote:
THE IDIOT IS HAVING SOME KIND OF CRISIS WHERE HE THINKS APATE AND DOUCHEBAG KILLED HIM OR SOMETHING

AND NO YOU'RE NOT THEIR SAVIORS, YOU'RE EARTH'S SAVIORS.


Me wrote:
Apate and Douchebag... that's funny. Although, I hear you like to wear short-skirts, so the assgrabbing seems justified. I know I normally can't help myself.

Earth's saviors? Saving it from what?


Lyssa wrote:
FUCK YOU, 8 SCUM


Me wrote:
Hey, chill out, 6 bitch.

I'm just asking a question. I think I kinda deserve to know. Despite everyone's hatred of these Nobility and Quobe people, I've not learned a damn thing about any of it. And shit, if I'm saving Earth, I'd like to know how, why, when, and what kind of tail I get from all this. Hook me up with Aisa, huh?

If we're so important, why do they want us dead? Is this like a Book of Judas type thing, where you guys play the Gnostics and have to kill us to release our spiritual godly selves?


Lyssa wrote:
THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SAY THIS, YEAH


Me wrote:
Huh. Cool.

So how're you gonna save us, O wise and powerful Goddess?


Lyssa wrote:
BY KILLING THEM STUPID, AND IF YOU CALL ME GODDESS ONE MORE TIME I'M NOT GOING TO REPLY


Me wrote:
Chill out, broheem.

So.. killing them. I know this may sound dumb or redundant, but -who- exactly? Cause from all the confusion, we're led to believe that the Nobility and Quobe are two separate sets of people - Aisa said the Nobility were the ones grading us, and giving us numbers and whatnot.

Don't kill Aisa, man, she's cool. I need a squeeze.


Lyssa wrote:
IF I KILL THE NOBILITY THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO BRING IN MORE PEOPLE.
AND THEN I CAN KILL QUOBE.

AISA'S THE ONLY GOOD ONE BUT I THINK SHE HAS TO DIE ANYWAY


Me wrote:
Right, kill the recruiters - gotcha, makes sense. And who or what is Quobe exactly? I know they're behind this whole shindig, but is it like one person, or a large group?

I ended up getting a call too, but if it was from Apate or whomever, I don't know. I wasn't home and no-one left a message. I was hoping they would. Sad

RECOMBINATION OF THEIR ATOMS. Honestly, I have no idea what kind of technology Quobe has. Why would you kill The Nobility? From what I gather they're trying to make the world "a better place". Although there seem to be a lot of people that don't much care for them.

So you got roped into the whole organization as well? For someone who's been there, you don't seem very sympathetic towards me or anyone else who's been sucked into this situation. I'd figure you'd be a little more understanding.

I still don't understand what's wrong with The Nobility though. Care to enlighten me?

This was their response to my asking if they had killed any of their members:

"Why would you ask something like that? We at the Quobe group would never do such a thing. I would assume you got this information from Lyssa?
Only one member has died recently, and that was of a heart attack. Not our doing."

After asking how many had died all together of all members they said this:

"Of our thousands of members over the years? Many have, but we had no hand in that."

Now, I am interested to hear your version. Smile

LOOK. OF MY GROUP, ALL THAT'S LEFT IS APATE AND DOUCHEBAG AND MYSELF.
OF AGRIUS'S GROUP? ONLY HIM
THEY'RE EITHER MISSING OR DEAD

Sorry, last post in a row. I thought it might be too big for one post. This is the conversation between me and the Nobility.

But how many have died all together? How many original members are still alive? Yes, it was Lyssa who told me this information. I understand there may be some bias because of that, but I would feel better knowing the answers to these questions.

Hmmm.. I am confused as to why Lyssa thinks so poorly of your organization. And also why she seems to think you guys have been killing your members. So far I feel she's given me little credible information, so don't think I am questioning the validity of the Quobe group, I'm just trying to understand WHY this is happening. It almost feels as if there's some war going on between the Quobe group and past numbers. Why is this?

Hey this is Aisa! I'm going to set up my own email account in a while. Later on today, maybe in an hour or two!

Gah, I never seem to be online when they are. It's hard to get such lengthy conversations as you've got.

Also, did everyone get a reply when they sent in the assignment? I didn't. Confused Resending it just in case...

Yeah I talked to Lyssa mainly got the same if not less then you.
She did however say Lyssa wasnt her real Name just the name the group gave her and that it had been so long she didnt remember her old name. The group gives pretty grim names though... I wonder if their aim is all that Noble.


Then got an answer from Agrius from a bit of a bout of silence Very Happy yaaaaay. Lol still working on my Assignment.

As for Agrius... Well he says Lyssa Belongs to the other Group. That its hard to Remain Sane when working for the Noblesse and that alot of people want to Kill the quobe.

Yet when I asked him why and wasnt the quobe working for the good. He said it was up to us to make that desicion

But he warned me that everyone had their own Agenda and there were few who could be trusted.

Ill post these two though
Quote:
Me:
So Im finding out. Ive always been told there are three sides to every
story. one perspective then the other.. but then the truth.
So tell me this Lyssa says she is a ten
But Im also hearing she is a 6 that use to be a 9
So which is it? and can you actually change a number that you were
supposedly born into?

Quote:
Agrius:
Three sides is an understatement.

This is a good example of that. You have heard that Lyssa is a 6, a 9,
and a 10. Which is it?
I should think that the Noblesse would not be happy with you knowing
that there is a 10 in contact with you. I doubt they could control her
if they needed to. They do not have full control of me, and the
minimal control they do have is only on account of my not being alive.
If I were I would be more of a force to be reckoned with.


Not horribly Important but I dunno I keep getting the feeling that Quobe or even Nobility cant be trusted

Edit: Ok just finished my Assignment.. annndd I totally suck at using my words...I cant describe all that feelings goop. Oh well I tried my best (it just happened to prove that I suck at this)

Interesting information you got from Agrius! I'm glad he likes you so much. XD

I wonder what the two groups are that they keep referring to.

Here's to hoping for another scuffle with Lyssa tonight! I'm really enjoying my first ARG.

I'm excited by them giving Korintian a call, i feel sad now for not giving them my phone number, even though i doubt they'd have made a (probably international call) to Holland.

Um Shocked should I be worried that there has been no post for 2 days despite this being a previously active chat? I just emailed Noblesse a few hours ago afer being a lurker on this form for about an hour (This will be my first ARG btw) and now I'm scared because the last comment was: "Watchout you guys" :C

I'm not quite sure what has happened. My last email to Lyssa seems to have gone unnoticed, maybe the PM doesn't work during the weekends. Wink

Well I've found in this ARG the idea is basically to immediately troll all the characters, magically causing them to like you and be talkative. All I've had so far was someone telling me I'd turn into a god without powers.

I haven't played enough ARGs to know if death threats are actually common in ARGs though.
