Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Welcome, CBers, to the October~November 2018 scavenger hunt~

This is an adventure the likes of which you haven't known.

Of humor, of wit, of joy, of pain, of sorrow, of mystery, of laughter and tears, music and silence, clarity and confusion...

Prepare to have your world upturned twice and over again without warning or caution--

Beware: You are about to pass the point of no return. For once you start--once you behold the first clue--you will find yourself unable to stop searching.

CBers, you will go through many trials and ultimately be required to solve three individual Locks. Only then will your mission be complete.

What is this mission, this adventure? What secrets does it hold? Why have YOU been chosen for it? And what is that standing behind you???

These answers lie beyond the first clue...Are you prepared to take the dive?

A wave crashes onto the sandy shore, chasing the heels of a swiftly retreating figure.

Farther inland, on the edge of the forest, a breeze blows to meet the waves. Another figure, cloaked, follows the wind down to the sand. The two figures meet.

"It is time," the first one says, and the other nods.

"Are they prepared?" the cloaked one questions and the second one peers off, staring into seemingly nothing.

"They are eager," the second one replies after a few moments, with a shrug.

The two figures stand in silence.

The waves grow louder.

And the scene is bathed in white.

The first clue is easy, or so you might think

On the thread that never sinks.

Its name is a lie
And that's where I hide
Nestled between
Pages seven and nine.

Go, CBers. We are waiting for you, ready to deliver the next clue.

I'm sorry... Are you suggesting using the date and time as coordinates? There are quite a few possible permutations. That's the only way I know of 'hiding' information on the CB.

Yes. I'll go ahead and give you another hint so we can keep the scavenger hunt going.

You started searching at the Longest Thread ever. Your new clues are hiding very near the clue that you first found on the LTE, but they blend in very well.

The magnifying glass picture is to let you know how you can identify these new clues.

Ok, I’ll make a thread on This Month for us to talk called “A comprehensive list of sodas” or something like that.

Marigold actually wrote this, in the Comprehensive List of Sodas. I just copied it here. :)

The Founder: Dmboogie

Five Different Things:

1. The name.  It's now called simply an "RP," not a "Role Playing Story"

2. There was no form to fill out.

3. Controlling other people's characters to move the plot along is pretty standard now

4. Almost every post was a reply, making long chains of very thin posts

5. Double parenthesis to speak outside of the RP are not a thing on here anymore.
