Charlotte's Summary
Charlotte's Mystery
Big Day Out Summary
This all started when Mikey Rhino (AFI family member and tour mate) made a strange entry on his Myspace. It read, "2 4 15"and many people tried to guess what it means. Some people assumed it was keyed to the alphabet, 2 = B, 4 = D, 15 = O, BDO or Big Day Out which was a major show in new zealand afi was supposed to be at but never made it. This gave hints to afi touring for their new album. After many people guessed what it meant, Mikey replied by saying, "Only one of you was warm like the winters"
Weight Of Words Summary
One day on the message boards one random user, who has never posted since, had a message, it read: "Why is my name on the weight of words website?" And had a link to the weightofwords.com which is now unaccesable. The poster's screen name was "invierno" which meant "winter" in spanish. Winter, that is the word that linked Mikey's responce to this strange post made by a guy who never posted in his life other than this one time.
In his profile we found his name to be "Hector Garcia" but that was all. So we go to the website. All it was, was a menu of a restraunt's orders, which was later found out to be a Vegan restraunt afi used to eat at, and it had a list of names and their orders. The picture can be found here.
Well when you look on the menu, Hector is the first name on the list along with others. There is also latitude and longitude cordinates leading to the Pheonix Theature which is where AFI had many shows, and their first show, in California. Charlotte, being a name on the list, ordered the breakfast of champions which was also the title of the site. Those who saw the site found clues relating to afi. Such as the number 17 by the order name that led you to, when clicked on, the new afi website, which is how we knew charlotte was involved. It also had a phone number on the bottom, that when phoned gave you a message. The message was of many people talking. Also when people called this number many people got calls back from a number (000) 012-3456 that was nothing but a looped music track, a mumbling man, woman counting, and a girl asking questions.. This is what the first message said when calling charlottes' number, copied to the internet by etoile of the despair faction:
Woman One: Ready?
Man One: One.
Man Two: Four.
Man One: One.
Woman One: Ready?
One Man Two: 8
Woman Two: 2...1....2
Man One: 0
Woman One: 9. Ready?
Woman Two: 2
Man One: 0
Woman One: What?...
Man Two: 8
Woman One: 9
Woman Two: 4...5
Man One: 1
Woman One: 9
Woman Two: 2
Man One: 0....1
Woman One: 9
Woman Two: 5...4
Man One: 1
Woman One: What?
Man Two: 3
Woman 3:-Ready?
Now when this message was looked at closer they realised it was a message. "14,1,18,21,20,9,20,18,9,4,5,19,20,19,5,4,1,13 " When deciphered by the alphabet code, 1 being A and 2 being B and so on, it gave you the word "Narutitridestsedam" which when put into a web address took you to a site.
Narutitridestsedam Summary
Now the meaning of Narutitridestsedam. "Na Ruti tridest sedam" Means "On route 37" which pertains to the song "Rabbits are roadkill on route 37"
Now when you go to this site there is only a movie. A movie of a person's head wrapped in bandages and is slowly unraveled by a mysterious hand. When it's unwrapped, the face is assumed to be Davey's by the lip ring, we see him mouthing words. What they found out was the words uttered by Davey were "Tell", "Charlotte", and "Nothing" which we found out to be Charlotte's Aim screen name: "Charlottenothing" Also at this time, there is a new message when calling charlotte's number, it says:
"Hi, this is Charlotte. If this is Georgia, I've been trying to reach you on I-M but I can't so leave your number so we can talk."
Well days went by and we were without a clue until we got a message sent to us by Charlotte's screen name and it was the same message from Mikey Rhino's Myspace.
The Riddle
This was the message sent to us:
"Prononcé comme une lettre Mais constitué de trois Elles ne sont que deux lettres A faire partie de moi Je suis unique et double Je suis bleu, noir et gris, Lisible dans les deux sens Et la meme dans les deux directions."
Now for those of you who may or may not know, we realised this to be french and when we deciphered the message it gave us this:
"Pronounce as a letter But constitutes of three They are not but two letters to form part of me I am single and double I am blue, black and gray Readable in the two directions And the same one in the two directions."
If you think about it, its a riddle. The word we're looking for is pronounced as one letter, but it has three letters and two of those three are the same according to the third line. There can be one or two of this word and they are in three differant colors and can also be read in backwards and fowards and be spelled the same. Well if you can't figure out the answer, the word is, "Eye" So translate that into french, since that's the original language of the riddle, and you get the word Unoeil. Put a www. and a .com on it and there you go, a new website to explore.
*Also as a side note there is a new message on charlotte's answering machine that is now her current message. It is just noises and beeps.
The Unoeil Website Summary
When you get to the site you find it's close to the other one; small, one window website with a flash display on it. Except this time instead of a movie you get a paragraph slowly being lit up. This is what the paragraph says:
"If you waste this day this pain will not open my eyes to cracked faces. To this nature I won’t deny. Will you believe in a boy hung in your room, cooling from within? I can’t. I just anticipate what awaits...darkness. Oh my beautiful one. I will hold onto your heart as I submerge. I will die drown. There will be no angels. There are no flowers. I’m on display my beloved. I’m on display."
Now I admit, this sounds like a suicide letter or something, but in reality these are just a bunch of davey's lyrics all mixed into one big story. For example,"There will be no angels. There are no Flowers." Is from a song called :This time imperfect" from Sing the Sorrow. "I just anticipate what awaits..." Is part of an ending verse for "No Poetic Device" on Black Sails in the Sunset. And so on and so forth.
Now if you go back and look at the paragraph you notice that you can click on words, and when you scroll your mouse over them some glow and some don't. Now how they came to this conclusion I'm still not sure, but when you click on the words "Dont", "Believe" and "Pain" in that order, you get opened to a new website.
Process of Separation Summary
The website was like the rest. It was one flash animation but this time it was a movie. A movie played backwards. The movie showed a message on a notepad scribbled out was played backwards as a hand, which is assumed to be Jade's, slowly unscribbles, and unwrites everything. When you get the whole message it says:
"Toronto Star Classified Antiques and Art. Plain Text Run Schedule 21 days. Five Flowers."
Now this may not make much sense, but what it was saying is that an ad would be ran in the toronto star 21 days later. Well 21 days on the spot, an ad was ran by someone named Charlotte and it read as such:
"Axis Comics and Records at ( address removed ). Place your orders with joe at (phone number removed)"
The number and address were removed for concealing purposes. Axis comics and Records is affilated with afi and confirmed so in sing the sorrow's thank you credits. Well now this relies on the ones in California. They called the number and talked to Joe, and found out they needed to come to the shop and watch a dvd themselves. So they did so.
Charlotte's Myspace
Now when we go to Charlotte's myspace we find it to be like an every day myspace. There are a few important factors to note here however.
-Her main picture was of a snowy, apparantly dead tree
-Her caption read "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
-The caption of her only picture of the tree read, "Avenues lined with trees, strangled words for the day"
-She had one friend who was known as "Apple"
With that last note, you remember that Hunter was holding an Apple at the end of the Five Flowers DVD, so you go to click on Apple's myspace. You see a myspace at first until it quickly loads to another site.
The Interview Witness Summary
This site leads you to a movie like the rest. The movie starts off with someone sitting in a chair with a white bag over his head, there is blood stained clothes hanging up on clothes lines and what appears to be rabbit skins. The person sitting with a white cloth over his head, who was recognized to be Adam by the tattoos on his arm, also had five flowers in his hand. The movie's most important thing to note, that lead us to our next clue, is the backmasked voices during the movie. When you take those voices and reverse it you get something like this message:
"It was october 1971, everything was hunkey dorey, and i was listening, when at eight, 2:04 end, i found what I was looking for"
The message was hard to decipher but thats my version of what it sounds like. Now this message, like all the others, was to lead us to the next clue. What we gathered was this: October 1971, David Bowie released an album called Hunkey Dorey. The eighth track was called "Andy Warhol" So we go to that track, listen to the words said at 2:04 and get a next website. The words said were, "Tie Him up when he's fast asleep" Enter that into a website and you got our next clue.
*A few notes:
-This means that all four band members have been in one of the movies, a very significant thing to know.
-The five flowers that Adam is putting into a vase, are said to be a rose, tulip, iris, lily, and a daisy. This is not confirmed.
Tie Him Up Summary
Now this website is differant, and is the last website we have info of. You go to this site and see it is very differant, there is no video, no flash only words. The message reads:
"February 15th - February 27th
From South to North, West to East
No Fire Will Burn
But there will be blood"
Now just like in the message on mine, you can click on "blood" and go to another part of the site. This time the message reads:
"Listen to Brandon but don't ask him
He who knows wears it on his sleeve.
He sells the rest to every guest,
if you propose the answer is free.
Any ring will do..."
Now we've finally concluded the answers to some of the paragraph and they are as follows:
-"No Fire will burn" There will be no AFI where this answers lies.
-"But there will be blood" But Bleeding through will be there
-"He sells the rest to every guest" Referring to the merchant selling afi and BT merchandise
-"If you propose the answer is free, any ring will do." If you present a ring to the merchant and ask for an answer, you will be given one.
Now this was done by "Sleepingtodream" of the MB and he was given an answer.
Where are the Five Flowers? Summary
The answer the MB member was given, was a pin that read nothing more than "Where are the five flowers?" Now if you think anything like we have been for the past months, you'll realise that's probably a website. In going to this website we used to get a message saying the website was "staging", in the meantime Bleeding through was added to Charlotte's friends list on myspace. After a month or so of waiting, finally there is a change in the site. We get a 404 error as if the site died, but press the back button on the page and a new window pops up. Like all the other sites, this website is also flash, but it is only a picture, a picture of the clandestine box from sing the sorrow. First thing to notice is in the browser, you see the name of the picture file and it has a number in it (4403731238). When you call this number you get a british lady on the answering machine, one that sounds just the same to charlotte's old one. The message says:
"The person you are trying to reach is not available, please leave a message after the beep"
Now looking around the site, you see four squares around the four corners of the box. Click inside those squares and you get another window pop up, this time revealing quicktime media files. Each file is named after 1 of 4 differant characters: Hector, Georgia, Catherine, and Julian. These names can also be found in the weight of words menu, and were added to charlotte's myspace not long before "Where are the five flowers" came up. Each media file gave a number and clues, they are as follows:
Catherine: 646 736 1275 (New York)
-found by playing with musical notes, converting to numbers
-when calling you hear a message adressed to Hector, speaking spanish, saying "leave a message, if this is Hector, I lost my connection, you can find me at craigs"
Hector: 323 319 6237 (LA)
-found by counting beats in the mp3
-when calling you hear a man saying "ms3, right arm on yellow" or something Twisterish
Georgia: 415 373 6047 (SF)
-found by reversing audio, and converting french letters to numbers
-when calling you hear "Julian, it's Georgia. This is it - it's ending! I'm losing my connection. Look for me at Craigs!"
Julian: 716 514 8870
-the audio sounds like Charlottes, but we haven't determined if they're identical yet.
-his location on myspace says "Canada" so his phone number is most likely going to be Canadian
-a scream is heard in the end, assuming to be Juilian's scream while being killed.
-when calling you hear "This is Julian. We missed each other. I'll be at Craig's."
*Note: All of the mp3 phone numbers found match the locations in their myspaces.
Now some explaining. We believe Julian was the one killed from the scream at the end of his audio, that would explain why the phone at his location (440) is not working. We also believe Charlotte, killed Julian because they have the same audio file and her perception of death fits the new single, Miss Murder. We know Charlotte is the only one in a relationship, and Georgia broke up with Julian before he was murdered. Hector is assumed to be spanish by the message left for him and Catherine is possibly the one asking for him. MS3, in Hector's phone message, is assumed to be a language made up by someone and "Right arm on yellow" is a code. Other's believe that it is referring to Davey's tattoo on the right shoulder, we're still not sure. Now they all have one thing in similar, everyone was going over to Craig's, we don't not know a thing about Craig or how he came into the picture, yet. This is all the info we have as of now.
