my theory was right. the bearded dude wasnt the same DNC who made those videos with lots of talking, and probably isnt the same one running the twitter account.

im looking forward to a video where he goes postal on uncle don and all his followers.

Talking With Chris
Guys... Guys. This was tough.

C: "Hello. I'm sorry, I just figured it would be easier to call instead..."
OWP: "No, no, it's okay. I.... I know it's not much and I can't say much about what's going on, but I really am sorry. And we're all here for you."
C: "We?"
OWP: "Uh, yea. All the people that have helped you figure this out and everything. We're all talking with each other and just rallying all our support and everything."
C: "Oh, okay."
C: "So your name's [my name], right? Where do you live?"
OWP: "In Texas. Power of the internet."
C: "Oh, okay."
[another long pause, Chris crying some]
C: "My brother lived in Austin for a while. He lives in (goddamnit, I don't remember the city, but somewhere in Cali I know that uch) He's a drunk."
OWP: "Oh."
I went there for Chiristmas once, it was really odd.
I'm sorry, I just don't know what to say.
[I said stuff]
I don't even know what's going on anymore.
[none of us do]

So, what do you do?
[I babysit]
(I have no idea what he said here.)
Oh, I have a call on the other line.
Do you know the area code 210?
[it's for San Antonio]

I don't even know what's going on anymore...

[another long pause, me just saying over and over that we're here for him blah blah]

I should go answer this number....
END.

I'll edit this agian later. >< Right now i'm distracted but wanted to get the important bits up before I forgote. D:

Hey folks, I have been texting with Chris. If you have any ideas or questions, he is responding to me regularly right now. I don't know how long that will last though.

So far:

Me: Chris, I am one of the people that has been trying to help you. You can call me Wani. Do you need help? Are you safe? 10:33 PM
+19092854175: Thank you. 10:37 PM
Me: Where are you? Are you still at the house? 10:40 PM
+19092854175: I dont know what to say. I am home. As safe as I can be. 10:40 PM
Me: I am glad you are home. You don't have to say anything. I just want you to know there are people who will help if you tell us what we can do. 10:42 PM
+19092854175: I can't go back to the house yet. 10:42 PM
Me: Why do you need to go back? Did you take anything else with you besides this phone? 10:45 PM
+19092854175: I should go back. See what else they left behind. The police are checking it out. 10:50 PM
Me: It is good the police are involved. Has Adams been in touch with you? 10:57 PM
+19092854175: Yes. 11:01 PM
Me: Did he tell you if he can help you? Do you think he or the police can help? 11:15 PM
+19092854175: "Your uncle is clean." Thats all they ever told me. They were wrong and it cost Kathleen her life. Fuck them. Fuck all of them. 11:17 PM
Me: I'm sorry if I am bothering you. I will stop if you don't want to reply. I just don't want you to feel alone right now. 11:17 PM
Me: They have been useless. Some of us who have been trying to help do not trust Adams. 11:18 PM

EDITED TO ADD:
+19092854175: What do you do to a guy that wants you to kill him? Thats the question I need answered. 11:26 PM
Me: I couldn't kill someone for the reason Don wanted you to kill him. But I could kill someone who was trying to kill me or someone I love. 11:32 PM
Me: [Someone] told me another 210 # called you when she was speaking with you. That wasn't me. Did you find out who it was? 11:46 PM

I think he's stopped responding now, and I need to go to bed. Hopefully we can learn more tomorrow.

Roger in IRC noted that there is something written on the green picture when Chris first walks in the house in #57. I can't get it clear enough to read it, but there is definitely something there.

So, we figure out the painting is a Youtube URL, but we can't get the right case combonation.

watch?v=1zAxSWSTFIY

or else it's

watch?v=1sAxSWSTFIY

The two little symbols we're having trouble deciphering.


EDIT: Getting frustrated. Brute forcing my way through the two blurry symbols. On 1-f, 2-q right now. D: Then on to numbers for both varables.


EDIT:

I FOUND IT. YAY.


YouTube: Link



:/ It's not very useful video though.... D: MAN. I don't see a tinyurl or binary. Tried
/atest (leads to a picture hosting site, but keeps timing out...)
/notatest
/nottheend
/theend
/solong
/solongfarewell
/farewell
/farewellsolong

Nothing yet. :/


Okay, so the whole painting thing and the video makes me wonder a few things. I know they were going to keep Chris alive regardless, but what does the painting show? They had to make sure it was in the video, so I guess that explains why it was in such clear view. But, the DNC logo and the "this is not the end" means they knew he would have refused and run off, I suppose? Or at least had a very good idea of what he would do?


(offtopic agian, but I'm going to AllCon in a few days and figured I'd premere my DNC cos a bit early. Hhhhm. The weapons policy doesn't allow knives or police batons, which are the only two we've seen him use... Would a fake knife work maybe? Or just pray I don't get in trouble? NOT REALLY. SHEESH. Any ideas? Or I could just go buy a blue jacket real quik and have his basic stalking outfit so then no weapons.... but for pictures that would suck...)

OWP, good job! I was also surprised that the video id share that way, much to assume that Chris is going to catch on camera the picture clearly, and also to not cut that part in editing the video. And although the video is ready for the event that Chris do not accept their role in the sect, why allow unmask his uncle and others? There seems little point in what has been happening lately.

Over in IRC we're working on a a few theories about the missing footage, and I'm gonna try and call Chris tonight to ask. Since he's not releasing the rest of the video at all yet, and we all feel that something crucial to this is def being kept from us.

Twitter pics

so I just decoded that one pic not sure if you guys did yet but this was the code
01100001 00100000 01101101 01100101 01110011 01110011 01100001
01100111 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100011 01101111
01101101 01101001 01101110 01100111

and the message says (A message is coming)
so im guessing wanted to play with us this time. or this also could mean about the break video or that one video with this is not a test idk but ya.

Thanks, Jackwalker!

Per usual, looks like the message leads to a message.

my oh my seems like there might be a video that will be up soon.
or he will pay Chris a visit. wonder what it will lead too.

One more thing that pic could it mean something as well a grim reaper with a hour glass could it be that DNC is not happy that Chris does not want to take his role and Chris does not take his part in it then he will end him?

Jackwalker, if you feel like kicking around ideas now or anytime in the future, please feel free to join us in IRC! I think OWP posted the details on the previous page.

I know the invite is implied, but I didn't come over til someone explicitly suggested it to me, so I thought I'd pay it forward Smile
