She is dead now. They gave her an overdose of intravenous Ativan.

I have no idea...That flashed up when I signed onto the site a few minutes ago. I still don't even know who died yesterday, and how?

Looks like Mach Girl and Anthill died, both murdered. Of course, Augcorp only cares about Anthill. On Augcorp's website, they say the suspect for Anthill's death is a blond male. And Exsupero's blond hair color has been referenced multiple times... hmm...

Should someone warn Exsupero that he may be being set up?

Website went down and this was up

I barely made it out of there without throwing up, which would have been bad, cuz DNA. This is goodbye for now.

[YOU] Goldy…

[YOU] Golden…

[YOU] Goldwasser…

[YOU] Answer me!

[GOLDEN] Sorry, I was trying to simulate my own limbic system. What do you want?

[YOU] I'm standing in an apartment with a dead body…

[GOLDEN] You what now?

[YOU] Standing. In an apartment. With a dead body.

[GOLDEN] Well, who is it? How did you get there?

[YOU] Andrew Em sent me a text asking me to meet him at this address. He said he wanted to work things out with me about the car issue, so that we could be friends. I showed up, and he wasn't there.

[GOLDEN] And a dead body was?

[YOU] Yes. I opened the door. I'm in the living room right now. It's Anthony Kore. He's dead in front of me. Stabbed in the throat.

[GOLDEN] This is… this is pretty bad. I don't know what else to say, except that you've got to get out of there before someone sees you.

[YOU] The girl working at the front desk already saw me, though.

[GOLDEN] Well, in that case, go back and talk to her. You know what to do.

[YOU] There are also security cameras. That's not going to work.

[GOLDEN] I'll come get you. We need to get you somewhere safe, where they can't find you. Start using a proxy, and make it look like you're in some other country.

[YOU] Alright.

My convo with Exsupero:


Yes. I'm very, very far from Cleveland right now, actually, but still within Augcorp's reach, so I have to be extremely careful. I've got a massive headache right now because I'm using a really strong proxy to post this. Anyways, if you feel like it, let everyone know that Goldwasser and I have plans to release some information, but it won't happen until Sunday, because he's still working on it. If we can get it to work, it will greatly help our cause. I have to go now. Talk to you later.

I'll let my friends know …take care

In case anyone's wondering about the religious aspects of the game, The Mother and all that, I got Thea to explain it to me:
Quote:
My child, I will tell you the truth of my religion.

The Mother created the earth, heaven, and humanity to exist in-between. She is the Sun. She gave humans the power of choice, so that they could choose how to adore Her. Soon, though, She found that choice beget suffering and death, and she wailed in horror. She knew She must do something to save humanity, so She bore a Daughter (not by any man, but by Herself). When this Daughter was born, She grew to learn of Her duty. When She began to show signs of womanhood, She descended into the Underworld in late Autumn. There, She met the Dark Queen – an entity arising from the sum of all humanity's evil choices. The Dark Queen slaughtered Her in humanity's stead, and all was darkness for three months. Then, the Daughter rose again from the Underworld, and ascended to the heavens, to become the Moon. She has redeemed mankind from our own wickedness, and will always hear our prayers of confession.

You ask, again, about Goldwasser. We are only beginning to combat his evil. Our prayer is mostly directed at him, that he may come to see the light. Many people do not realize this, but, despite his great deal of experience in terms of augmentation, he isn't very old. He is only twenty-eight. Exsupero is only a few years younger. Yet, his family is incredibly powerful.

I have heard rumors that they can both be terribly sadistic. A few years ago, there were several other families. They are thankfully gone now, but only because Goldwasser destroyed them through subterfuge and manipulation. Now, all that remains of any consequence is the Gilded, Gutierrez, and several smaller groups, some of whom are closely allied with Augcorp. In any case, whether or not they are actually possessed, they do the work of demons.

I contacted Andrew and asked about Exsupero. He told me how his parents died in a car accident and how Augcorp took him under their wing, even paid his college and stuff and then Exsupero started to hang out with Goldwasser and completely turned against Augcorp. I think this was already covered in someone else's post. But Andrew told me Exsuperos name.

Andrew Em wrote:
I do know Exsupero quite well. His real name is Armend, but his last name isn't really Knowes. It's kind of similar though, if you translate it a bit.


'Know' in Latin is 'scire'. So Exsupero is probably the Scire scion.

Also I still think Andrew is the other scion. He said
Quote:
I've been lonely and angry lately, and talking about it helps. Sometimes I feel that if I don't get my emotions out, I'll do something really bad. But probably not.


Daniel said that the Mather scion could bring down buildings if he gets upset.

But to sum this up I'm very confused and don't know what to think any of this. Maybe Daniel is insane and there are no scions. But for now I don't think we need to worry about them teaming up, because Andrew and Exsupero hate each other's guts.

Also, very interesting stuff in everyone's conversations and posts! I love this story and these characters.

Apparently there's more than just the Mather and Scire scions. There's two other mini scions that aren't as powerful, but that Mather and Scire would want to control, according to Daniel

I offered Expy shelter, we'll see if he gets got before he can even reply. Tennov. I'm going to do some digging and see if that name actually does turn anything up.

Okay, so the first and most overwhelming result is for a Dr. Dorothy Tennov, who wrote about expressions of love and a concept called 'limerence'---basically, obsessive love. It's pretty clear Frances had that going on with Expy.

^ Yeah, if you read my convo with Frances on previous page, she tells me exactly that Wink

Frances wrote:
Andrew thinks it's funny because I have a psychiatric disease called Limerence, and it was studied by a woman named Dorothy Tennov. Limerence is where a person becomes obsessed with someone else, devoted to them, to the point where they'll do anything for them. The person I feel that way about is Expy.

well crapola:
Ms. Kare,

I happened to notice that you were active on this site, and are quite often. I wanted to ask if you've had any conversations with the following individuals: Daniel Duquesne, Marcus Goldwasser, Frances Tennov, or Exsupero. I and my associates are currently helping the police to find Exsupero (Armend Knowes), but we are also investigating the other three. Any information about them that you could provide would be helpful. Thank you for adding me as a friend.

best,
Joseph R. Mather

I'm thinking of playing it stupid...like: "I'm so humbled that you would accept my friend request! ...I have no idea where these people are, but I have seen what they've posted on the main pages of your site...blah blah..." what do you think? I don't want to die!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd warn these people via PM, but obviously Mather can read these messages, right?

SHIIIITTTT be real careful there.

Also Rose Freels tells me the only concrete evidence linking Exsupero to Anthill's murder is that someone blond did it, and he is blond. (Whether they think this because someone blond was seen leaving the scene or because blond hairs were found, is something I'm still trying to find out.)

Beth says she got the same message and she told him she did have conversations with them, but nothing meaningful...... I'll play it stupid as well.
The murderer could have had a blonde wig..........and we don't know who else might be blonde?
