[DROP] Petaluma Revisited Dec. 11

romanceismusic · Post by **romanceismusic** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 11:11 pm

Ok, here is the long sorted details. Luv's brother, his girlfriend and Luv went to Petaluma. They got there at around 5pm. They went to the Phoenix Theatre. They thought the drop would be at or around the stairs in the Petaluma video. They started there, and worked their way around the building. They couldn't find anything. They looked around for another 45 minutes or so, but still couldn't find anything. They decided to circle back around one more time. When they got back to where the stairs are, they saw a guy pull up right in front of the stairs, get out of his car, check underneath them and then leave really fast. They immediately thought that someone else had come to see if they could find it. So they went back to their car, started calling their operator to see what to do, since they hadn't found anything. Everyone in the chat seemed to think that the drop had been stolen. They told the chat that they would go to a coffee place for a while to regroup and see where to go next. But when they got in their car they noticed that lots of cars were pulling into the alley where the stairs were. Curious about all the cars, they moved the car to a spot where they could see the area more clearly. they watched the area for a while, and noticed the same car that had pulled in earlier had circled the theatre 2 times. So they got out to see what was going on. Luv's brother went one way and his gf and Luv went the other to see if they could see what he was up to. Luvs brother ended up seeing the guy drive into the parking structure down the street. So they all went over there. While they stayed outside, luv's brother went inside to find him and ended up pretty much running after him. The guy got away, as he was still in his car. So all 3 of them gather on the bottom floor of the structure, and right as they are about to leave, someone speaks to them from the second story.....it is "Brother." Here is what Luv remembers of the conversation.

"Did my sister send you?" he asked.
"Yes, she told me there was a package for me."
Then he asks the question about winning 5 million dollars with the aliens (it's the 'Heathers' quote, I can't remember it right now)
I answer "Give it to the homeless, every cent."
He kind of laughed at this, so immediately, I said "Give it to my father because he is a broker?" I got laughed at again.
He said that in the interest of fairness he would give me 2 more guesses.
I called out op in the chat and everyone gave the "homeless" reply except, it was a little different....some said "every penny" and some said "every dime." I used both of my guesses on these answers to be told that it was a good answer, but not the right one. He told me that the right answer is "That is the stupidest question I have ever heard." Or something to that effect.
I then ask if he is "10033"
I got the standard Brother "That's classified information" answer.
Then he goes on a kind of rant about how he's been on house arrest, and didn't have any luxuries so he couldn't even shave. (Don't ask me, I have no idea what that is about.)
So I ask him if the package was still in the area.
He said that if I had any friends who were in contact with his sister, that it might be a good idea to call them.
I was out of ideas at the moment, I was under the impression at the time, that i was to answer his question correctly, or ask something specific to get the package.
He finally just tells us "Look harder."
So we go back to the stairs and the package is there waiting for us.

It contained:

1 SD Memory card.

Perhaps if the dominoes were arranged with like numbers touching, a message could be discerned? *Looks frantically for spare dominoes*

CCF could be XXO from the movie quotes...

that'd be insane.

wow, so they talked to an actual person? that's crazy. and the person gave them the "drop?"

deagol · Post by **deagol** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 11:22 pm

The missing dominoes include 2/2 (and 1/2 2/1 is a duplicate)

hagbard celine · Post by **hagbard celine** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 11:22 pm

Doesn't sound like it alysa...

horcruxes: well not involved with the drop but the people in the car were the ones that made the drop while brother distracted luv and jeff
tiltingwin: I see.
shifty_J: Did they record the brother interaction?
horcruxes: No.
horcruxes: brother was talking about how he's been under house arrest
horcruxes: and wasn't able to shower or shave
horcruxes: and he kept looking over at the white truck by the stairs
tiltingwin: Interesting
horcruxes: after he let them go luv and jeff went to the stairs
horcruxes: and sure enough. the drop was there
tiltingwin: And just to be absolutely clear...this is the parking garage that featured in the "Suburbia" video?
horcruxes: yes!
horcruxes: the one next to the phoenix theater
horcruxes: but the drop was located under the stairs at the theater

Almost sounds like Luv beat them to the drop...

I'm a little confused. They met "Brother?" Isn't he supposed to be an actor? And I guess that prooves he isn't Jonas, which a few people believed.

Perhaps someone who met him could do a sketch of the man. Did he request that his photo not be taken?

It's probably a good thing, in the long run. I would have been so paparazzi on him he would have just left!

My name's Arcanis. *waves* If you weren't in the chatroom during my discovery, (and thusly why i'm posting in the forums) here's what i found.

while playing with the set of dominos listed in the drop, I came out with a picture of sorts. The picture looks to be the letters j i f with a line through part of the j and i (so as to connect the letters together methinks. it's also possible that the letters are j t f instead, but j i f just stands out to me).

a .jif is a picture extension. this means the file(s) that were aquired in the last drop could be a picture!

of course...the dominos could be placed differently. i'll try to see if there are any other combinations that make anything readable.

So Luv, be well... for the sake of the possible picture(s) you hold. heh. always wanted to use that be well line....

i think its .gif not .jif

.jif is also a type of picture file extension. if what you meant was my misspelling...

if you meant you played the dominos out as well and got gif instead of jif then the whole theroy could be out of whack as there are possibly more than just these two ways of doing it, and this line of thought should be abandoned altogether *sheds a tear* ...and i thought i was on to something...

I believe .jif is a compressed version of a .jpeg file.
