A quick summary of the story so far:

Maddison Atkins is a typical 19 yr old college student living in Nacogdoches, TX. She and her friend Adam were making a reporter-style video about the azaelas in TX. Maddison returns home to change and finds a pigeon with a note attached to its leg at her front door. She removes the note from the bird. On one side there is an email account that had been created for her and it says she will know the password. On the other side, there is morse code. Maddison turns to the forum for help with morse code. The people in the forum quickly decoded the morse into hex code, which is then decoded into "tag bows" - which anagrams to TWO BAGS. Meanwhile, Maddison logs into the yahoo account that was set up for her and finds a letter from Mr. Zipp, a worried parent that has enlisted her help to find his only child. He gives her a deadline of 15 days. Mr. Zipp also set up her YT, Revver, and MySpace accounts for her. He instructs her to seek help (presumably at the phorum) and to 'immerse herself' in the lg15 world. We were stuck on TWO BAGS, but last night Maddison came into the chat and told us that Whisky the dog chewed the note a bit, revealing that there was another note inside. This note contained a riddle: "In an Apple - in a Ruby - Under Your Elbows - Near the Wall - 11 (B) 12 - Hurry" Players figured out that this meant there is a drop in a bar/restaurant in NYC called the Rue B on Avenue B between 11th and 12th streets.
