 		If I do choose to share with Garrison that he is first in line to the throne, I can ask him anything. I don't really want to waste that opportunity, however.
EDIT: I ended up asking him about travel between worlds.

 		Dipping my toes into the pool. Time will determine weather or not I can jump in. Currently signing up and following all necessary tumblr pages. Look forward to working with all of you.

 		the message in the image
Ok... so I managed to find an online gif editor & split the frames... there is a question.. and a bar code.. I cannot make out exactly what it says on the frame the code is on & I have no idea what the bar code reads Sad Anyone???

(I THINK the eyes read "Who is the observer, Garrett or Garrison".)

 		That barcode is frustrating because it's so hard to read. I would hate to "brute force" this, but it might be the only option because I've tried scanning it but my readers are not working. Unless there is a better quality photo of the barcode I don't see any other options at this point.

I'm not experienced with using image software. I used a free online gif editor to split the frames. It gave me two options for splitting... the first was to "ignore optimizations", the other was to "redraw every frame with details from previous frame". I tried it using the option of "ignore optimizations", and it gave me a bunch of frames that had what seemed liked "partial" bar code info in the eyes... but didn't seem "usable". So I tried it using the second option & got the photos that I posted..
There were more frames revealed that I did not post because they appeared to just be duplicates of the "complete" image w/o any info showing. So maybe if you could try to play with a different/better editor, it might give a better result??
(I used ezgif.com)
Also, I decided to try something & wrote an "ask" to Garrison's blog... I sent him the following..
Quote:
Hello Garrison...
I have also been "monitoring" your notebook for a while. While I realize this whole situation is most likely very Confusing to you, I feel obligATed to step in and inform you of a few tHings. I can undERstand your cautIoN in trusting anyonE, especIally Someone calling themselves an "agent". However, I can assure you that agentsayame sincerely has your Best IntereSts in Mind. What yoU have been told is true. You are next in line for the THrone.

I reasoned that if Garrison was really the "real" person & what Catherine said was true, then since that would mean that his writing created Katy- thus he should know all about how to read the "code" writing that she likes to use, and if not... then that should mean that Katy's writing is the one doing the creating. If he can't read it, then at least the information isn't "publicly" revealed to anyone who may happen to find his notebook... because remember, "they" are aware of his writing fiction... So I was hoping to get him to write fiction about Katy- to change her parents' mind about forcing her to go to camp... then maybe she could also write again....??? I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time...lol

**edit**
In looking at it again... it's odd that the bar code is very fuzzy... yet when the frames are split using the "ignore optimizations" option... the bar code looking pieces from the eyes are extremely defined & clear... so maybe we are supposed to copy/paste over the big code in order to define it & clean it up so it can be read?? Because it's strange that the code is so fuzzy upon zooming in... yet the eyes are totally sharp??
I'll upload those onto the blog & leave them large & you can see what I mean...

 		I messaged the PM the other day telling them that it seemed to be impossible from our end to read the barcode because Tumblr compresses things.
I think they got around to reading and fixing that, sort of. I had a good conversation with Garrett this morning. Not much of it is new information, but I did let him know about the Light at the End of the World.
The chat log can be found here.

Speaking of the Light at the End of the World, I'm expecting a package from them soon. They said they'd send me a talisman to help with existential dread, and I'm assuming it's another vacuum tube necklace, but I could be wrong. I'll post pictures when I get it.

 		Apologies
This was mine (mostly)...
I want to apologize to those who were playing this. I was the PM and allowed it to collapse after I became overwhelmed with other commitments. This time, I was pretty much working alone, so it was very stressful. I'm probably not going to do that again (work alone, that is - I have plans for other games).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The idea for this one came to me after reading Plato's Republic, as well as a small play where Socrates appears to George Washington and pleads with him not to create an American democracy. The story was going to be Garrett and Garrison slowly interacting, each from their own respective world. Garrett was in our world, whereas Garrison was in the world where the United States was a repressive monarchy.

The Lights at the End of the World were actually meant to be people in our world who secretly worked for the other world. As you may have guessed, Garrison's world was planning to invade our world, with Garrison leading the charge. He was unwilling, and had the game continued, the plan was for him and Garrett to team up and defeat the people trying to invade our (Garrett's) world. I had multiple endings planned - one in which Garrison causes a revolution in his own world, one in which he escapes to our world, and one where Katy and Catherine spearhead their own revolution of sorts, with an outcome very different than others. The ultimate plan was always to have Garrett and Garrison turn out to actually be the same person, just split in two, and have them come back together into one whole person, though. If you would like to know more, I can certainly answer questions, I guess.


If anyone's interested in being part of, or receiving a trailhead for, my next project (which is Tumblr-centric with a witchy urban fantasy bent) feel free to message me! I love meeting new people. I hope everyone who received artifacts enjoyed them - I had a ton of fun putting them together!
