 		hkdl PMed me parts of their conversation, so I decided to IM this Synagoga

Quote:
Samara Arus: So... I hear you're blind.
Synagoga1: Oh... yes...
Samara Arus: So, do you know what happened to make you blind?
Synagoga1: Oh, I just became blind one day.
Samara Arus: Um... May I ask how you can see what I'm saying?
Or what you're saying?
Synagoga1: It speaks to me.
Samara Arus: Your computer?
Synagoga1: Yes.
Samara Arus: Text to voice software?
Synagoga1: If that's what you call it... yes.
Samara Arus: So, you just became blind? Like, all of sudden, *poof!*, you just couldn't see any more?
Synagoga1: I still see sometimes.
Synagoga1: I see visions.
Synagoga1: Of things.
Samara Arus: What kinds of things?
Synagoga1: It depends what is asked of me.
Synagoga1: I see what is asked for me to see.
Samara Arus: Who asks?
Synagoga1: They ask.
Samara Arus: Do They have a name?
Synagoga1: Should they?
Samara Arus: It generally helps you refer to them
Synagoga1: Well... I never knew they had a name...
Samara Arus: Maybe they don't
Synagoga1: Maybe.
Samara Arus: I guess it's not necessary
Synagoga1: I guess so...
Synagoga1: Ohhh... I'm so tired...
Samara Arus: It's pretty late... Here, anyway...
Synagoga1: Can I talk with you tomorrow?
Synagoga1: I need a nap..
Synagoga1: You're very kind.
Synagoga1: I like you.
Samara Arus: Smile
Samara Arus: I like you too
Synagoga1: Thank you.
Synagoga1: No one tells me that...
Samara Arus: Sad
Synagoga1: But thank you....
Synagoga1: Good night...
Synagoga1: We can talk tomorrow...
Samara Arus: Good night
Synagoga1 signed off at 1:01:47 AM.


Um... By the way, I'm a guy, I just have, like, seven screen names, and one of them happens to be a girl... Shut up. =P

 		possible link
Could this be linked to Lenny's Xenga??

As the 'sister' in that is blind and doesn't know where she is...

Just a thought - check out the thread (sorry, no link!)

I had never thought of that. It's very possible. Although to me it kind of sounds like the 'PM' of this 'character' is making stuff up as they go along. I think (as I'm playing LX) I will have to contact this person.

Hkdl, where or how did you first find this person? Did they just add you? Do you add them? This is a possible lead.

 		They just sent me a message and started talking to me. It does have an ARG feel which is why I posted it.

 		OK, the transcript is way too long or this.
I talked to her.

She has a woman named Ecclesiates who talks a lot abuot the Bible... and who shouts at her and tells her she is wrong.
She tells me that God loves her, and God is good...

Everything I told her abuot Lenny, she echoed about Crowfoot.

I don't think she's related, though it is striking

Samara Arus: Hey!
Synagoga1: Hello.
Samara Arus: What's up?
Synagoga1: Hmmm?
Samara Arus: Um... What have you been doing, then?
Synagoga1: Dreaming.
Samara Arus: What about?
Synagoga1: Open fields.
Synagoga1: I like open fields.
Samara Arus: Yeah... Open fields are nice...
Synagoga1: They are pretty.
Samara Arus: Um... Do you know anyone named Lenn James?
Synagoga1: No.
Synagoga1: I know you!
Synagoga1: You're nice.
Samara Arus: You're nice too
Samara Arus: ^^
Samara Arus: Do you know anybody else?
Synagoga1: I know you... and Hkdl... and this crowfootcomix... and them... and this woman...
Samara Arus: Which woman?
Synagoga1: This woman.
Synagoga1: I can't say her name right.
Synagoga1: She doesn't like it when I don't say her name right.
Samara Arus: Is she here right now?
Synagoga1: No.
Synagoga1: That's why I am here.
Samara Arus: Will she know if you say it wrong?
Synagoga1: If I say it to her.
Samara Arus: Why don't you try saying it right now? I won't mind if you say it wrong
Samara Arus: ^^
Synagoga1: Ok.
Synagoga1: Eccleanastiastia
Synagoga1: I think.
Samara Arus: Ah! I don't blame you for not being able to pronounce that
Samara Arus: ^^
Synagoga1: I still don't know if I said it right.
Samara Arus: It's okay if you didn't, she's not around
Synagoga1: True.
Samara Arus: Why aren't you allowed online?
Synagoga1: Because they say I am not ready.
Synagoga1: They say that I cannot go online.
Synagoga1: Tell me, what is online?
Synagoga1: They say it, but I never understand.
Samara Arus: Maybe they're using it differently, but the way I use it, I mean what you're doing right now. You know - How you're talking to me.
Synagoga1: You mean I'm online?
Samara Arus: Maybe not how they mean it
Samara Arus: The word has a few different meanings
Synagoga1: Oh.
Synagoga1: I think I understand.
Synagoga1: What are those meanings? Can you tell me?
Samara Arus: Sure, just a moment
Samara Arus: on·line or on-line
adj.
Samara Arus: Ack
Samara Arus: Sorry
Samara Arus: on·line or on-line
adj.
1. a. Under the control of a central computer, as in a manufacturing process or an experiment.
b. Connected to a computer or computer network.
c. Accessible via a computer or computer network: an online database.

2. In progress; ongoing: online editorial projects.
Synagoga1: There's that word computer again.
Samara Arus: Oh, so you don't know what that means, either?
Synagoga1: crowfoot explained it to me.
Samara Arus: Oh, good
Samara Arus: Did you understand?
Synagoga1: I think so.
Synagoga1: But I don't have a computer.
Samara Arus: Hm... So, your talking to us, this seems involuntary...
Are you using anything outside yourself to contact us?
Synagoga1: I found this device.
Synagoga1: And, I took it for myself.
Samara Arus: Could you see it when you found it? Or were you blind by then?
Synagoga1: I was blind. But I could see it.
Synagoga1: And I used it, and it asked me for a name.
Samara Arus: Is it mostly gray?
Synagoga1: Yes.
Synagoga1: And some blue.
Synagoga1: Blue bloches.
Synagoga1: With gray.
Synagoga1: A little boring, compared to some of the things I see.
Samara Arus: Yeah, it's useful, but it isn't very colorful
Synagoga1: Yes.
Samara Arus: By the way, where did you find hkdl's and crowfootcomix's names?
Synagoga1: I hit this "search" thing.
Synagoga1: I use it alot.
Synagoga1: And it jumbled around, and it spat out this HKDL name.
Synagoga1: And then everyone else came to me!
Samara Arus: Hehe, I never use that... I probably should try it sometime
Synagoga1: Yes.
Synagoga1: People come to you!
Synagoga1: And they're nice!
Samara Arus: ^^
Samara Arus: Um... Just curious --
Do you know how to travel
here?
Synagoga1: Oooh.
Synagoga1: White.
Synagoga1: And colors!
Samara Arus: Hehe, it's like the Search thing, only this one brings you to different places
Synagoga1: Ooooooooooh.
Samara Arus: You might find it a bit crowded, but it works
Synagoga1: Ooooooooh.
Samara Arus: Lots of people use it everyday
Synagoga1: It's neat!
Synagoga1: I can learn!
Samara Arus: ^^
Samara Arus: Do they teach you things?
Synagoga1: Yes.
Samara Arus: What kinds of things?
Synagoga1: Many things.
Synagoga1: To make me more important.
Samara Arus: Is that what they say?
Synagoga1: Yes.
Samara Arus: Do you ever do anything like that Google place?
Synagoga1: Sometimes.
Synagoga1: I am tired.
Synagoga1: I need a nap.
Samara Arus: Okay
Samara Arus: Sweet dreams
Samara Arus: ^^
Synagoga1: Thank you.

 		I apologies now, I am very new to all this.

This all sounds very interesting. Has any other leads been found on this person?

And have you all been contacting her or has she been IMing you? (wanting to get involved but not sure where to start)

 		Crap, I was rushing when I posted all that. I haven't really been following that Lenny thing, but, yeah, I guess this is Lenny-related.
