 		Sorry for the double post, but I just realized I received a message from ruartist or at least I think it's from her. I filled out the form on ruartist's tumblr page. I included my phone number and got the following text message:

Quote:
R.U. here. Are you certain you can handle my art? Text back the following code to verify your number: *xxxx Otherwise you won't hear from me again.


So of course I sent back the code to verify my number. Smile

*I removed the actual code.

If this is part of WyrdCon's June ARG I'm pretty sure it's "in".
C - see
U - you
N - in
June

I believe it's IG. Just posted this: http://ruartist.tumblr.com/post/50222822781

Which, using drizjr's method I believe solves to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Melon
Yellow green
Navy Blue
Asparagus
Melon
Eggplant
Indigo
Sunset orange
Navy Blue
Outer Space
Timberwolf
Vivid Tangerine
Indigo
Royal Purple
Goldenrod

Navy Blue
Indigo
Asparagus

MY NAME IS NOT VIRGINIA


Note: Neither photoshop nor Color picker give me exact matches for most of these colors. I had to approximate and guess to get this solve. Anyone having better luck with other programs (GIMP, etc)?

Nice solve,Gently! I haven't found a program to discern the colors; I've just been eyeballing it.
ATM, I'm confused. Is ruartist not the creator of the instagram.

So, before this new message that Gently solved, I @ruartist to say:
Quote:
Your color code signature was a fun challenge. Thanks for that, Virginia. I'm curious, who have you found, Amongst the tombs.

and got a reply
Quote:
"Blood is red."

I'm not sure what that means... the one found is a blood relation or is already dead (amongst the tombs) or that we should look more closely at the blood in the the gold bug? idk

 		Do we know where the pm is based? If it's not a name, it could be telling us where and when it'll be - See you in June, (at) Virginia. Or this is all directed at someone called Virginia? I don't know, thinking out loud.

 		Perhaps there is sequel in the works to the John Carter of Mars film, Edge Rice Burroughs did write a number books in his Martian series.

I can barely control my excitement. I found her today. Amongst the tombs.


I suppose this bit could be in reference to Poe's wife?

"Nearly ten years passed before Virginia Poe's remains were brought from Fordham to be buried under the monument above her husband and her mother. Again, it was William F. Gill who figured largely in this matter, at least according to his report. Twenty-seven years after the event, he said in the Boston Herald that he had visited the Fordham cemetery in 1883 at exactly the right moment to rescue what remained of Virginia Poe. A portion of the cemetery was being razed and Gill reported that he had met the sexton, Dennis Valentine, with Virginia's bones in his shovel, ready to be thrown away, since Valentine knew of no one to claim them. "

She was also his cousin.

The movie John Carter. Dunno the exact script, but it's something along the lines of "My name is not Virginia! It's John Carter!".
However, the Poe-wife-trail has got a certain smoking-barrel-feel to it, and I can't seem to get the two ideas aquainted Smile

 		I also signed up for the "keep in touch" on her tumblr, and after I filled the form out was greeted by this cheerful message:

Quote:
Finished

You can expect to hear from me soon or later.

But no guarantees. Just like life.

R.U.


Then I got texted a code, just like enaxor.

 		Well, if he's finished, is there anything we can do with the tweeted colors?

Doesn't make much sense so far:

T dbd7d2 Timberwolf
B 232323 Black
R ee204d Red
N 1974d2 Navy Blue

 		According to tumblr, R U are this person's (being's?) initials.

And how could it be for J.C? That movie came out last year, and everyone and their mother seemed to think it sucked.

Probably not a viral. "John Carter" might be a clue, though.
