By the way, are you planning on going?


It's a well-lit airport. I'm sure 14-year-old's mommy and daddy won't mind him/her going. Wink

By the time I got the message, Naomi was offline. But considering I live literally 5 min from the airport, it wouldn't be out of the way to stop by there...

ETA: Went back and skimmed previous messages. Saturday April 16 at 5pm. I do believe I can indeed be at the airport then.

 		Okay, really quick, because that ham's smelling really good...

A while ago, this dude name HiredHandsGroup IMed me, but I lost the log and completely forgot about it. I guess he IMed me later, though, but I never got his message.

Quote:
HiredHandsGroup: Hello again.
PokeKiller2k: Hello
HiredHandsGroup: Have you decoded the information I gave you?
PokeKiller2k: I'm not sure I ever received the information
HiredHandsGroup: One of your companions recieved a phonecall, correct?
PokeKiller2k: Oh, yes, that
HiredHandsGroup: I then contacted you with a password, correct?
PokeKiller2k: Contacted me?
PokeKiller2k: I remember talking with you, but I don't think I ever got a password
HiredHandsGroup: I see.
HiredHandsGroup: I will of course give it to you again.
HiredHandsGroup: Sgd Ozrrnvnqc hr Mhjd.

ROTs to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Passoword is Nike.
(No typo, it was actually spelled that way)

Quote:
PokeKiller2k: ... The shoe people?
HiredHandsGroup: I'm afraid not.
HiredHandsGroup: But you heard nothing from us.
PokeKiller2k: Of course
HiredHandsGroup: You are a friend of Josephines, I presume. Only close friends of hers would be allowed to take her messages.
PokeKiller2k: Yes, I guess you could say that
HiredHandsGroup: All is well, then.
HiredHandsGroup: It'd be quite akward if we were giving confidential information to the wrong people.
PokeKiller2k: Wait, did you say Josephine Francis?
HiredHandsGroup: Yes.
HiredHandsGroup: Is there a problem?
PokeKiller2k: Oh, I don't know any Josephine Francis
HiredHandsGroup: I see.
HiredHandsGroup: I'm afraid that I'll have to change the password then.
PokeKiller2k: It's a joke Smile
HiredHandsGroup: I know.
PokeKiller2k: Does that mean you were joking as well?
HiredHandsGroup: Never trust what you don't know.
PokeKiller2k: So... Is that a yes?
HiredHandsGroup: Of course.
HiredHandsGroup: Tell me, has Ms. Francis succesfully escaped those APN people?
PokeKiller2k: I believe she almost has... I think she just needs to catch a plane and then she's gone
HiredHandsGroup: I see. That is where we come in.
HiredHandsGroup: With the dropoff of info to her, she will succesfully rejoin APAS, and make quite a bit of money in the process.
PokeKiller2k: How much money?
HiredHandsGroup: As much as the APAS is willing to pay for the APN Info.
PokeKiller2k: And... How young will the person who is meeting Josephine be?
HiredHandsGroup: It depends on which employee we choose. Most of our nonconspicuous employees are from 13-15 though.
PokeKiller2k: ... And you're trusting a kid with information that could lead to a large payment?
HiredHandsGroup: Oh no. We simply give him the envelope, and he transfers it.
PokeKiller2k: I wouldn't trust a kid to do that... What if he gives it to the wrong person?
HiredHandsGroup: That is a necessary risk. Josephine is not an important customer. It's not our problem if the info get's mixed up.
PokeKiller2k: She has information that APAS would be willing to pay a large amount of money for, and she's not an important customer? How important are some of your customers?
HiredHandsGroup: Let's just say the president owes us a lot of money.
HiredHandsGroup: Why, anything you need help with?
PokeKiller2k: Haha, no, not at the moment... Unless you can carve a ham really well... Speaking of which, I have a pig that needs devouring. Unless there's anything else, I should be going
HiredHandsGroup: Myself as well. I will probably speak with you again.
HiredHandsGroup signed off at 5:20:59 PM.

<Naomi> Busy as ever. Yourself
<Naomi> ?
<Poke> Not too much... Just sitting here, mostly
<Naomi> I see
<Naomi> Have you ever heard of a band called Aqua?
<Poke> Don't believe so... Why?
<Naomi> Oh nothing, just that I find them most soothing when working under stress and pressure. They did the song "Barbie Girl" if I remember correctly.
<Naomi> Oh yes, have any of you contacted Josephine recently?
<Poke> Umm... Not that I know of
<Naomi> I see.
<Naomi> She continues to evade APN.
<Naomi> Have you found an agent to apprehend her at the airport?
<Poke> Don't know anything about that... Just know that Alaranth's going there to get the info or whatever
<Naomi> I see.
<Naomi> I have a favor to ask of you all.
<Poke> Yes?
<Naomi> When this Alaranth character finds Ms. Francis, have him take a picture. I have never met her in person. I would like to know what she looks like.
* Naomi has quit IRC (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/)
<Poke> Bah!

Hope you have a camera, Alaranth Wink

 		Errr... Right. I talked to Josephine earlier, but forgot to post.
Quote:
JsphnFrncs: Ah, Mr. Poke
JsphnFrncs: How are you?
PokeKiller2k: Hey, Josephine
PokeKiller2k: What have you been doing lately?
JsphnFrncs: Preparing for my departure.
PokeKiller2k: Where are you planning on going, anyway?
JsphnFrncs: Out of country
JsphnFrncs: I know that you and your friends will try and stop me at the airport. It won't happen.
PokeKiller2k: I'm not gonna try to stop you
PokeKiller2k: Why are you running anyway?
JsphnFrncs: The only way you would be able to stop me is if you were to recover the package before myself. That wouldn't happen. Only an email from me to the HHG would let them give the package to someone else.
JsphnFrncs: That won't be happening any time soon.
PokeKiller2k: Err... Yeah, you're right
JsphnFrncs: Why am I running? Because Naomi and her silly little APN are nothing compared to the APAS.
JsphnFrncs: There is no chance of winning.
JsphnFrncs: I must be going.
PokeKiller2k: See ya

 		So has anyone heard more if the Rochester airport is happening tomorrow? Haven't gotten any messages since the original, and, honestly, if I end up playing D&D during the day, that will trump an airport visit. Razz

 		Better get to that airport... I just recieved this (the confusion at the beginning is because I used to talk to the PM on this screenname):

Quote:
Maniacal Mant1s: Hello.
CrowfootCornix: Hey there
Maniacal Mant1s: The HHG assumes that someone will be at the airport to pick up the package?
CrowfootCornix: Hmmm?
Maniacal Mant1s: You are part of APN, correct?
CrowfootCornix: No really, I'm lurking but exams have made it impossible to get fully into any games at the moment
CrowfootCornix: This is oog isn't it?
Maniacal Mant1s: Games?
Maniacal Mant1s: What games?
CrowfootCornix: Huh?
Maniacal Mant1s: I am Alex Peterson. Code-Name: Mantis. Employee of HHG.
CrowfootCornix: Ohhh! I see!
CrowfootCornix: Pleased to meet you
Maniacal Mant1s: Confusing, to say the least.
Maniacal Mant1s: The pleasure is mine.
CrowfootCornix: I'm not entirely sure someone will be there
Maniacal Mant1s: It would be appreciated if you could have someone show up. The HHG does not like waiting and false promises.
CrowfootCornix: It's a little out of my hands, but I'll do you the favour of spreading the word
CrowfootCornix: So everyone knows you expect someone
Maniacal Mant1s: Alright. That will do for now. Thank you.
CrowfootCornix: No problem, sorry I couldn't be of more help

 		Yeah, it'd be nice if you, y'know, went. The game kinda seems dependent on you showing up.

Although, you're right, I can't truthfully say that D&D isn't more important than an ARG.

Saw this message when I woke up this morning:
Quote:
NaomiGoldsman (9:40:17 AM): Please tell your friends that Ms. Francis will be at the airport today.

 		Well, sounds like airport's on! I woke up to this:

Quote:
dancing_mantis2000: Concering your interest in the HHG. Yes, we will be there and ready for the package reciever.
dancing_mantis2000: That is, of course, from 4:30 to 5:00
dancing_mantis2000: PM


D&D got moved to 6pm, so it's all good. Very Happy

 		Just got back home from lunch and am getting ready to go to the airport. No clue exactly what I need to do, but I will be there.

Have camera.

 		Is there a specific place in the airport you need to be or something? An airport is a pretty big and busy place.

Yes, the place is the concourse between the two terminals. I know exactly where it is.

Though hmm, now that I think about it, with the renovations they did, that concourse is after the security checkpoint. I don't believe I can get through to there. Will have to wait outside that area.
