For some reason I can't reply on this thread unless I'm quoting someone?! I hit reply and it takes me back to the main forum page.

Let's see. There are two characters, Mr Evity and Black Eye. One is telling us not to listen to the other. Time to play a round of find the liar!

Also, how did you get Chelsea Quinn Yarbro?


That's what I'm thinking too.

From Lukas's Google search in the last email pic

Edit to add: It appears they are indeed listening, and aspects of the trail may be shaped by our conversation.

I messaged it.

Asked who are you and said

Maybe you should ask something more specific, maybe it's intentions, or why it has contacted you specifically?

Maybe we'll get more details.


Edit to add: given your "CONNECTION SEVERED" message from Mr E, I assume we're talking about Black Eye

Within the zip file, there is a .jpg and a .txt file. The text file reads:

Quote:

I am sorry to be so indirect, things watch me like hawks. You can imagine this makes contacting you rather difficult.

Nonetheless here I am, I have always been, I always will be.

I emplore your nameless companions, truly you are all so tenacious.
But they must know the closer they stray, their destinies could be written like ink to paper.
I dont weave them but there are countless near me that do.

for now, the chamber door is open.

Mr Evity



"the chamber door" is again reminiscent of the poem.


Something tells me we need you again, Lukas.

But I can't figure out what to do with the image.


The part that I bolded is a link to a zip file, base64. Granted, I can't find that link per se, but I received a different link with the same (hopefully) image and same (definitely!) text.

Here it is. http://www.mediafire.com/file/asnn7dx8vv12rw9/Edgar%283%29.7z

Corvis, if you have a different image than the one I'm sharing right here, please let us know!

 		Great to be back here! It's been so long I forgot my username/PW!!

I think I'm reasonably caught up, and have just emailed both Mr Evity and Black Eye.

For some reason I can't unzip the file here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/asnn7dx8vv12rw9/Edgar%283%29.7z

Edit: It's asking me for a password...?

I find Mr. Evity's use of language to be so peculiar as to perhaps indicate a clue:
-My first thought on this was "why Mr EVITY"? Are we meant to think of "LEVITY"?
-It looks like the posts are written in what might be blank verse and what sound like riddles. For example, a reference to hawks instead of ravens (but still with the theme of birds), and "Nonetheless here I am, I have always been, I always will be."
-Implore is misspelled as "emplore". Is this misspelling deliberate?
-People don't "stray" CLOSER to anything - straying is more commonly associated with moving AWAY.
-Destinies written like "ink to paper" sound pretty solid to me - unlike "one whose name was writ in water" - the epitaph on KEATS tomb (d. Feb 24, 1821, Rome) - and a possible point of reference here.
-Destinies are woven by the three fates: Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (allotter) and Atropos (unturnable).
-Why include the image of what seems to represent a record and not just text to indicate that we should stop listening?

I know I'm all over the place - just some brainstorming. Interested to learn if similar thoughts have occurred to anyone else?

 		Based in the times of the previous emails that were posted, I think they may be European... That explains a few of those things... Lol.

I've progressed a bit, and will tell you it's not that complicated.

Check my previous posts.

Though, I'm thinking some of these may come into play later

 		How about "Writ in Blood"

The original text file said he is no stranger to coincidence.


Question about a raven, my name's Corvus
Character named Lukas, "listen to me, Lukas"

And a couple other references to things happening in this thread. I think the steps are being created/updated dynamically based on the things we say and do.

 		Mr Evity here.

Fleeting is this moment. Listen well.

Chamber doors open all over, seek them.

What Lukas CAN see WILL harm him.

Direct him to where he need e directed. he will not see this.

whatever you do, DO NOT listen to blackeye
