Rachel Blake and Persephone

the background image on the rachel blake site can be seen here

and what about this site - www.zeldman.com - mentioned in the rachel blake source code

which has among other blog listings "silent phone, secret phone: Or, The Lost Verizon"

she seems to say "EYES EYES MOUTH MOUTH LIPS" in different patterns

It was scooped on another site that Rachel Blake actually had a video up on Monster.com!

"As best we can tell, Monster.com posted too early (everyone makes mistakes) and so they removed the link from their site almost immediately on Friday but not THE VIDEO FILE from their server until sometime Sunday night. It seems as though they've taken it off Monster for now, so try clicking http://youtube.com/watch?v=3adKKUznwTs&search=rachel%20blake to see it in YouTube."

There was apparently some article in Entertainment Weekly stating that the experience was a 3 act play and Rachel Blake is basically the beginning of the 2nd act.

I googled the name Jerry Hoffitt following a suggestion found in rachel blake's site. It took me to a video about the Hanso Industries... here is the link: http://www.americanfilms.com/play.cfm?clipid=243&cid=5

Early Beverly said about the orientation testing issue 1998 thing, it's 1980, and check this out

This is simply an update on my earlier post re: Hanso shutdown page. Put the orientation_testing_issue_1980 after the website address for the Hanso Foundation's site. It should read like this:
http://www.thehansofoundation.org/orientation_testing_issue_1980/

This will lead you to another interesting Persephone hack. I may have announced the earlier post before they finished the hack because it didn't work for me earlier (and I tried several times to get it to work!)

I really like that the soda can next to Rachel's laptop is a Diet SPRITE. BTW, the guidebooks she has on her desk are from Lonely Planet. I recognized the style.

"evident agenda" also appears in the 1980 orientation film on a scrap of paper during the film

in rachel's film anyone make anything of her tshirt which says
vau
lar
ta

the name "alvar" is in there

So, now the persephone page is all black with some discordant music playing. Wait for the jingle (like an ice cream truck) and then you hear her speaking-- sounds like words spoken backwards. Can anyone decipher??

Ellen: This has already been solved. Check the "Game so far - act 2" file.

If you go out in the Island today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the Jungle today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every Survivor that ever there was
Will run in fear, for certain, because
Today's the day the Polar bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for Polar bears,
The little Polar bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them catch the survivors unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about.
They love to Run and Scream.
And never have any cares.
At six o'clock the Others
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little Polar bears.

CHORUS

If you go out in the Island today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the Jungle today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every Survivor that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the Polar bears have their picnic.
