 		It looks pretty much correct to me. There are quite a bit of errors on spelling. But I assume that's the PM's fault and not yours.

How we were supposed to "know" to use a keyboard and go diagonal is way beyond me. I doubt we would have ever figured it out without their "hint".

Well either way, good job on the solve, SoulEatingBunny!

Got a video response. Looks like the code maker made a mistake. (They also mentioned me by Tumblr-name. Spooky)
They said the answer was wrong, but they're urging us to continue trying

 		Well looking at what you had this would be my approximation to what the message should say:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
But the holy one's parents were bad people.
So, god sent her away to the holy people
They trained her to lead them.
But, non-believers took her away.


It's probably still wrong, but that seems to be the gist of the message. The only big part would be non believers, but that seems to be what it should be.

I have some things to do, so I hope someone else can puzzle it out.

EDIT: Just so everyone knows. I was the one who pointed out the error in the clue message. I had just noticed it by chance and pointed it out.

EDIT 2: And they posted the solution. Well at least I corrected some of the errors. haha. I've edited the solution above to fit the post. Just so it's available here.

 		They got impatient and posted the answer. Also, they linked a TinyChat room http://tinychat.com/emilythedoll

 		Timezones are fun. So, was there anything interesting in the tinychat? Or was anyone there?

This seems pretty interesting, so I'll just tag along and see where this is going.

 		I totally missed the chat. Are we on "wait mode" now? I guess our next move is to find Eric Thomas (from Texas) to see what he has taken from The Family. Maybe we can set the chat up so we can all be on since there seems to be some answers ready to be given.

 		are they saying the user name is ragtag and desperate, or is this one of us? Or are we being insulted for checking in to see if anyone is there?
I'll log in if anyone out there wants to join.?
i'm on....

 		I guess I'll chime in. I was there for a bit of the tinychat, but left not too long after because my connection was wonky.

Basically:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The girl mentioned before lived with bad parents who did drugs, alcohol etc.
Mother left Fater and went hitchhiking across the US. After settling down Child Services took the girl away.
The girl was placed with the "doll family" and they found her as their "holy one" and as the message said "trained her to follow them."
Someone broke the family apart (Child Services?) and the girl went somewhere, and the family is searching for her.
They are trying to find her with their prophet. (Someone within the family), but there is another woman who defected from the family and is trying to find the girl.
They said they think the runaway found a doll representing their doll and tried to destroy it, resulting in it, losing it's eyes.


That's about it. The only thing to do is wait after that point.


Looking at the tumblr it would seem to be some kind of personal conflict? Unless Emily's typing style suddenly changed as her response to a "Lucis Aves" was:

Quote:
Oooh, we are SO scared of the big feathery assholes. What are you going to do, screech at us? There's a reason we gave you the nickname rag tag and desperate, after all~

-E


I'll be frank and say this ARG has really dwindled in interest in my eyes. I mean, I really don't want to get involved in someone's grudge war, and also the tumblr account to me just doesn't feel IG. I mean the reposting the creepypasta stuff, really breaks IG for me, it makes It feel like someone's personal account or something. Besides the fouling of the puzzle (apparently?) (and hint) just doesn't give me a ton of confidence in the future.

So I think I'm gonna pack my bags and hit the road. I just wanted to post to give you guys the info that was said in the Tinychat. Anyways good luck to you guys.

(PM's you should probably just post it on Tumblr for those that weren't able to make the chat. Not really fair to other player's in other timezone's)

 		I just think that the PM is kinda new to this and don't really know how far they can go. They want it to feel as real as possible, but then they don't realize that reblogging creepy pasta and slendy stuff and referring to uF is not the way to go.

I'm following their tumblr, but haven't still contacted them IG, because I don't know if I want to be part of this Laughing
Also, I'm always missing the chats because of my timezone so that sucks. They did post a part of the convo, but I have no idea who the Ari guy is. Is he IG? What is Lucis Aves and what do the birds have to do with anything?

 		I think the dialogue is part of the arg....just my opinion....I'll go ahead and ask questions, but the site isn't loading for me atm

and...tumblr doesn't accept any user name or new password for me......... (if it were me>>>) i'd answer the latest post..Goggles protect your eyes.....google is a search engine for information.......please feel free to post to see if this is going somewhere

 		In this case, Goggles is referring to the javascript tool that lets you color on any website.
