 		Yeah I think there's clues somewhere in either the trailer (bunker contains everything she loves) or the FAPT website to the password.

It could be staring is in the face, or it could be a bit extrapolated like - I can't remember if there was a present in 16 Candles, another Molly Ringwald/John Hugges joint? Something like that, anyways.

Also, I was going through screenshots - am I crazy or has Goodman been wearing a shirt with the slusho logo on it in the trailer THIS WHOLE TIME. Man that would have cleared some things up earlier!

 		So based on the images, what do we know about Megan?

-She is a young teen (most likely younger than 16 but older than 10. probably in the 13-14 range)
-She like's crafty things (string heart, string strawberry, paint on shoes, beads, etc.)
-She likes kittens
-She likes colorful things
-she's interested in paris
-She likes flowers
-She likes banana sundaes
-Shes an only child (She has a bunk bed, but the bottom has no bed indicating she's an only child or her siblings are grown up)

Let me know if I missed anything. Hopefully understanding megan and how she thinks will put us on the right track for solving this puzzle.

**edit**

Also, I noticed it says "powered by TalkieTalk" which I don't think is a real thing. I googled it and didn't come up with anything either, so that's probably a clue of some sort. 'Radioman', 'Radiogirl', 'TalkieTalk' seems like we got a theme.

In the top right corner of the letter is what appears to be a time stamp.

 		The cover to the magazine - I don't know if anyone has said yet, but it's in the trailer, I think it's what MEW's character is reading.

 		I wonder how exactly the password works. Does it parse what we enter for key words? or does it need to be exact? For example, does 'a poster of the Eiffel tower' register differently than 'poster of the eiffel tower'. If it doesn't parse the password that makes this a lot more difficult.

Also, why is "Keep checking this site" a hyper link that returns void? All that does is stay on the page without refreshing it? If he wanted to underline this seems like an odd way of doing so. Maybe this is a clue. I have no idea what it could mean though.

He mentions that the mom might be checking the page, and that they need to keep it private from the mom. Wouldn't a 13th birthday present be something that would be obvious to the mom? I think the question isn't so blunt, it's obviously written in an effort to slip up the mother. Maybe it's a small object or not physical. It's gotta be something that the mother wouldn't know about.

It needs to be exact and is I think case sensitive. "Do you want to talk?" Was.

Also the magazine is *similar* but not the same to the one in the trailer. They're both defintiely fake stock image frankensteins in similar ways.

The "string" crafting stuff is actually called Rainbow Loom.

And if the sundae came off the Peanut Board website, perhaps she likes *peanut* sundaes (so do I, it's the salty sweet thing, yum).

Does anybody get the vibe that Goodman/Howard is thinking about his daughter in a way that's probably innacurate? Through the misty veils of time, trauma and fatherdom? So much of the stuff we've seen is dated, I think maybe Megan is grown up now and he only remembers what she was like, not who she is now?

 		Others have mentioned that Howard's t shirt that led us to radioman70.com and thus FAPT is a reference to an old Navy rating for those specializing in communications technology.

I looked a little closer at Howard's shirt (http://tagruato.jp/images/feb/employee4.png) and noticed two things: There is an apostrophe in front of 70, as in a year abbreviation, '70. Second, the lightning bolts to the right of '70 are in fact the same lightning bolts that were the Navy rating insignia for a Radioman. You can see those lightning bolts on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioman

I don't think that gets us anywhere, but it's clearly what the PM was thinking and fits Howard's mention of his Navy experience in the letter.

I actually entered "do you want to talk?" no caps and it worked as well.

Yeah, just did some testing and it's not case sensative; although it does need to be exact. Do yoU wAnT to TaLk? is valid but doyouwanttotalk? is not when I tested.

Ok, not case sensitive but IS punctuation and spacing inclusive.

The first time I entered it I didn't capitalize or include the question mark, so I just assumed but didn't test. Good to know though!

Edit: I'll add this while I'm here, somebody on Reddit found a new page on Tagruato. Not sure if it's from the old arg. Sounds like they're turning monster sludge into drugs? These guys.

Edit2: electric boogaloo- yeah, old arg nevermind.

I thought maybe not a young teen, because her dad asked if she remembered Y2K crap, but he could mean "remember how I told you about...

That's actually not bunk beds. That is something called a loft bed. I LOVE Loft beds!!! I always wanted one with a slide... They give more space needed in a small room {my brother's college dorm was made up of loft beds with personal desk space and book shelves under the beds just like in that picture}. I'm going to assume she's an only child because of how her dad was talking, but the bed isn't a good indicator either way.

 		I'm stuck on the fact that we've been given two different names from the Tagruato auto-reply. That suggests to me that maybe we need to find the right email convention to be able to email IG characters.

I know some of you have already tried that, so I tried a couple more:
hstamblerSPLATboldfutura.com
70hstamblerSPLATboldfutura.com

Undeliverable on both.
