Yeah, I'm hoping to find someone local myself. Feel free to share it, just be careful. I've redacted most of what could get someone hurt, or worse, noticed.

Maybe it's time we talk about opening up this place. A lot has changed since the 90s.

May I ask, how exactly you intend or imagine opening the forum?

[Zethus]

I don't. It was just a thought. We've done things a certain way for a long time and like midnight said, it's kept some of us safe, but not all.

Thought it warranted dialogue.

Maybe we should talk about risk/reward?
If we did, what steps would we take? What rules would we change?

Also, I definitely remember it saying April, not October. You're not crazy. I remember it specifically when I was redacting the line above it. Is that the only thing that's changed?

[PenOfDamocles]

I don't see anything else myself, though I wonder how reliable mine or anyone's memories can be at this point. I am curious as to why you redacted that line in the second paragraph. From Stooges image it doesn't seem to reveal anything particularly dangerous, no direct names. Was that different when you first redacted it?

Does anyone else find the stated recent purchases before disappearance a bit "occult" in nature? A little research shows That town was a LARGE manufacturing center in the 40s (Our missing lady was probably a Rosie Riveter) and even had an electric street car system in that shut down in the 30s. I wonder why she would have needed lantern oil for domestic purposes.
Lantern oil can also be used to symbolically "The oil that fuels the lantern represents the nourishment and spiritual wisdom needed to sustain one's inner light and stay on a purposeful path."
Thread also has a plethora of symbolic meanings: Summary New Acropolis Et al.

oh. the door is already open.

Roses by a fence; roses are typically planted at entrances of any kind for protection from negative forces. Alternatively, sub rosa, under the rose; magic done to stop someone from discovering a secret. In Rome, the wild rose was a symbol often associated with Harpocrates, god of silence, secrets and confidentiality.
Protected, or hidden?

[MidnightRunner]

It's been two days and Stooge hasn't updated. Stooge are you there?

[Katat0nik]

Stooge? Everything alright mate?

[Stooge]

No! Everything is not all right.

I knew I shouldn't have gone to the ██████ library in the first place, but with the differences I went back because it is what everyone would want. And of course I get back there and I can't find the article AT ALL. The librarian, ██████, who helped me the first time claimed she had never even met me before, and the desk I looked it up at stunk like someone had been ██████. Since when is that even allowed inside anywhere?

I told myself once I moved out of ██████ and met my ██████ that I wouldn't get involved like this any more. Why did you ask me to do this? I washed my shirt and it still smells like ██████. I have 3 ██████ now. It's too much to risk. I've told my ██████ we need to move out of ██████, and I think I need to move on from here too.

What the fuck? Who blocked out my text? Zeth??
