So, how is Seamus doing? He popped in briefly to one of Shane's Hangouts this week and still seemed rather nuts.

I think the blade/leaves connection is definitely something worth noting. I'm going to try to connect with Josh on his blog and see if he replies.

I could have sworn I saw someone post that Collette's last name meant something leaves, but now I can't find it.

No, she just...disappeared. Most people are presuming her dead, but I'm still calling her MIA.

Here's the e-mail I got for the new case, including a link to a blog. My dear investigators, I have recently gotten an email about a strange man who says he is being followed. I am not sure if he is telling the truth or completely off his rocker. If you would be ever so kind to look into this that would be much appreciated. He gave me his blog which he said “revealed all” but I cannot make much sense out of it. Maybe you will be able to. Here is a link for his blog joshblot.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2013-11-13T17:27:00-08:00&max-results=7Yours, W

Oh, it was just that the light purple text (forum posts, chats) on the black text background seems to be harder for me to read than something (hate to have this example) like facebook that does a light text background with darker text. The actual feather background is quite nice. I tried adjusting my computer's brightness, but I think it's because my screen picks up a glare with the large amounts of empty black space on the forum posts that I don't usually see on other websites.

Donnie, the only thing known about a mob connection is that there might be a mob connection. There's some comments on the Google+ page where people were discussing the orb photo but not much else going on right now that I can tell.

The chat format might be better for random conversation though...

Hi,
Any way to change the colors of the text and text background to make it easier on the eyes? Maybe something simple like white background and black text or some light colored background (purple or pale grey) with black text. Just a suggestion.

Just got this from Sarah:
Something bad has happened tonight. I was awakened by a strange popping type noise. I got up to investigate and there is a crack in the amber. I want to get rid of this thing but every time I get near it I become so filled with dread. I feel as though I'm being drawn back to the lake. I don't know what to do. My gut tells me something of significance is going to happen later today.

Brandon posted that in response to an e-mail he got from Constantine Weatherford that he shared on a facebook group where some of us are chatting and playing:
Mr. Grech,
I have additional information that may be helpful, but not all the answers you are looking for.
It appears that the information on the urn is indeed incorrect. We have been in contact with the Shanghai History Museum, and they have refuted that anything bearing that description was in the collection they have loaned to us.
I would like nothing more than to ask Dr. Hatterson about the conflicting information, but sadly, that avenue has been forever closed. All of the relics have been accounted for except for a rather indistinct (which in itself is remarkable), small urn that was included with the rest of the Ming Dynasty collection.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance as you continue the investigation.
Best wishes, W

I DID WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO!!!!
Edit: from HIM to ME without me sending anything in between - I'm not going crazy. Yet...

Sent this message:
Hello,
I believe my colleague Lisa already contacted you regarding the three tampered autopsy reports - and who the victims were.
Has any additional information come to light regarding the tampering or the ballistics report in the death of Hatterson?
I believe you are being framed - we would like to help. Please reply back at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Susan
Got this reply:
I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE! I DID WHAT YOU ASKED!
No one knows about you, I swear! I've not told a soul. no one would believe me anyhow
It's not that easy to forge records, it's not my fault the changes were noticed. Rance reported the changes, kill him, not me! HE DID THE AUTOPSY ON ALL THREE BODIES FROM THE SCENE! NOT ME!! Please don't kill me.
please please please please please please please please please please please

Hello,
I received this message early this morning:
"The coroner Sam Leif has reported tampering with the files. I am awaiting a return phone call and will update you all as the information comes."
Has any additional information come to light regarding the tampering or the ballistics report in the death of Hatterson?
Thanks!

Ok, I have to admit I know very little about Cthulhu, except that it appears to be a pretty popular Kickstarter theme. However, with the Order of the Dagon clue and the octopus-squid thing in the picture, I figured it was time to do a little research, wiki-style.
All quotes here are from the Cthulhu Mythos Wikipedia page. Consider this my official citation. Some things that jumped out at me as interesting:
"Lovecraft made frequent reference to the "Great Old Ones": a loose pantheon of ancient, powerful deities from space who once ruled the Earth and who have since fallen into a deathlike sleep.[6] This was first established in "The Call of Cthulhu", in which the minds of the human characters deteriorated when afforded a glimpse of what exists outside their perceived reality."
--- so this goes into the whole "awakening" theme as well as the characters that have gone crazy (Anna Lyons, the investigator who ended up in the "Halloway Sanitorium."
Discuss!

Yeah, but considering Shane is into obsessive detail with his art, and he's the one who drew this... I think those observations are TOTALLY in line. I was wondering about the butterfly/moth too... and the coins/buttons/seals (I don't know what they are supposed to be...yet).

Thought we could analyze some of Shane's art. On facebook, Brandon noted that the yellow stone matches what Sarah posted on her blog (found a package with a yellow stone on her bed). A link to this art was also posted in the "leaves" thread, for obvious reasons. Looks like Cthulhu to me...

Hello Investigators. By now you've all had a small taste of what's on the way in the upcoming Kickstarter project. Some of you have already had the honor of speaking with Mr. Constantine, a patron of mine who commissioned me for some work with the Whateley Memorial House. If you haven't yet got started, be sure to email Mr. Constantine. His address is w.i.constantine@gmail.com. He will provide you all the info you need to begin. What you're likely wondering is how all this fits into the project, and how it effects it's outcome. During the course of the project, on certain dates, at midnight (in certain timezones) a very special pledge level will become available. This pledge level (13$) will earn it's lucky recipient everything created during the project including shipping anywhere in the world. Now you could just check the page at the top of every hour of the day for 30 days or, you could play along with us and be a part of a Kickstarter experience unlike any other. The entire project, when it is revealed, will be run as a media spanning Altered Reality Game. Wherein clues regarding artwork releases, stretch goals, pledge levels and release times for The Chosen pledges can be uncovered. Additionally some of our stretch goals, most notably those that will be freely available for everyone at certain pledge levels, will ONLY be unlockable by our intrepid investigators. Through their diligence everyone who supports the project will get a very tangible benefit. I stress this is not a contest, rather a (hopefully) entertaining way for our community to create, interact, and have a good time together. **"How will I know I'm on the right track?"** First: Use The Whateley House Forums, located here. There will be information regarding investigations and other useful information. whateleyhouse.freeforums.net/Clues are like leaves. They move, then settle, and sometimes they are buried. But in this case, when you have found something of note. There will be a leaf present. Either textually, or perhaps hidden in an image. Every investigation will reach a point where Mr. Constantine must become involved, or at least his surrogates. So that your progress can be tracked. Feel free to ask for help, and guidance. Just don't expect to always be given the truth. After all what fun would that be? When you have found the goal of an investigation, it will bear a particular symbol. Always the same one, either hidden or plainly visible somewhere in the media in which it has been found. This will both tell the good people helping run the game that the objective has been uncovered (thus unlocking an investigatorial stretch goal) or tell you the date to be watching for The Chosen pledge level to become available. Good hunting Dear Investigators. Our hopes go with you.

Also, on the facebook group, Lisa made a good point about this message I received from Constantine:
"I have placed a call to the local authorities and received a very strange reply. Apparently the coroner Sam Leif has reported tampering with the files."
Is "Leif" a coincidence? I have to agree with Lisa -- I think not...
