 		Got a email from a guy named Michael Ross Park
Yesterday I got an email from a person called Michael Ross Park, but I have no clue how he got my email. It only has "michael-ross-park.weebly.com" written.

When I arrived at the website, there is nothing to do. No page selection, no menu, just a home page. Anybody want to figure out what's going on?

 		I'll bite, I have some free time while waiting on something.

Nothing in the source. If you go to any random page within the site like

http://michael-ross-park.weebly.com/bla

you get a 404 error page which looks pretty generic. There's a hidden bit of text on the page, if you highlight everything or look at the source you see.

Find my journal. You'll know how soon enough.


This suggests trying

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://michael-ross-park.weebly.com/myjournal

This takes us to a page titled 'Watch Close' with an image of a 4 squares. The image is titled argrevealpic-00_1_orig. Doesn't seem to have a link or go anywhere.



That's as far as my time took me. Maybe it's a placeholder for an upcoming arg announcement. I'll check back later.

 		It changed! It looks like it's erasing the black. Maybe we should keep tabs on it. Shocked

 		HIDDEN LINK ON THE "MY JOURNAL" PAGE
Below the picture is a small clickable area. Clicking on it brings us to a page telling us to text and do stuff. GUYS! Let's do this!

Well shit, idk if they also mean that if more than one person texts then we all lose also. Before anyone texts, should we decide who? Or just start texting willy nilly?

 		The first thing I thought when I saw the code was a youtube video address, but that doesnt seem to fit. :/

 		It may be just a code, but it could be something else. I'll try reverse searching it

 		Laughing

As an aside, when you right click the pic on the main journal site and open in a new tab, the name of the file is "argrevealpic-02_orig.png"

Well, I'm excited for more story personally. Thus far its just codes and stuff. Need some sort of story hook.

 		More text now on the page if you highlight everything.

I WAS IN THAT MENTAL CLINIC ONCE. WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OLD. NO ONE TALKED TO ME. NO ONE NOTICED ME. I WAS ALONE.

THEN IT HAPPENED.

MY "HELPER" TOOK ME TO A DARK, TIGHT ROOM. THEN THEY INSERTED TUBES INTO MY HEAD. I COULDN'T FEEL ANYTHING. THAT WAS THE LAST THING I REMEMBER.

NOW I CALL MYSELF AN AUTHOR. BULLCRAP, I SAY. THIS WHOLE CLINIC IS BULLCRAP. THE STAFF, THE PATIENTS, EVERYTHING'S A LIE.

AND THAT'S WHY I NEED YOU PEOPLE.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

YOUR NEXT STEP IS TO GO TO A SMALL TOWN IN INDIANA, CALLED EDINBURGH. LOOK FOR A TRAILER PARK CALLED "BLUE RIVER ESTATES".

​NEAR THE MAILBOX AREA THERE SHOULD BE A FOLDED PAPER. GO TO THE PAGE ON THIS WEBSITE WITH THE NAME OF THE CHARACTER ON THERE (THREE LETTERS, NOT SEVEN), FILL OUT THE FORM WITH THE CODE THE TEXTER GOT EARLIER, AND MORE OF THE IMAGE WILL BE REVEALED.

THIS SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE CIRCLED DATE. IF YOU ARE LATE, OR YOU SEND THE WRONG CODE, THE GAME IS OVER, AND MY HELPER WILL FIND ME.

PLEASE HELP. THEY'RE COMING FOR ME. BUT I KNOW THEY WON'T GET ME.

Well, you're in luck, the page updated, and there's more story. Also another quest.
