R U A Sammeeeee?
Last year, right around this time, myself and six friends were contacted by a man called Peeps. Peeps told us that he needed our help. He said that he had been a Jackal (assassin) for an evil empire known as "Spoocheeeee" for nearly his entire life. Peeps also told us that not only could he no longer could be a Jackal, but he also wanted us to help him destroy the evil land of Spoocheeeee. All seven of us - Dwin, Higgs, Betty, Addison, Trinket, Barney and myself played along. After all, it was only a game.
June, July, and August were spent following the various trails to Spoocheeeee. The game was fun and at times felt dangerous. I loved it. It was my first ARG.
Not long after Peeps contacted us, I was contacted by a woman named Patricia Moore. Patricia and I met for tea in late July. She revealed to me that Spoocheeeee was real and not a game. Although I was reluctant to believe this, it soon became clear that this was indeed true.
On September 8th, 2006, our dear fellow Sammeeeee, Barney disappeared while attending a "meet-up" with another fellow Sammeeeee named Betty. These two Sammeeeees were inseparable. That September night they met the singing and the dancing Nun at a church in New York. Somehow Spoocheeeee found out about the meeting and decided to make a move on Barney. We didn't realize that Barney knew far more about Spoocheeeee than any of the rest of us. Spoocheeeee caught Barney and Betty escaped. We later learned that Barney had gotten "too close" to some answers and he paid the price with his life. We all miss him very much.
Later in September the remaining six Sammeeeees received secret messages to a meeting at Woodlawn Cemetery on October 5th. We were all told not to tell the others. Being good Sammeeeees we did not tell each other. We arrived at the meeting only to find each other. Thankfully, Betty was late, and as she arrived she witnessed the rest of us being kidnapped and shoved into a Spoocheeeee white van. Betty ran away. She turned to a bunch of people, some new Sammeeeees, that we had recently been in contact with over the web. These new Sammeeeees spent the next few months saving us, the five, and the world.
The new Sammeeeees befriended Betty and Peeps. They also did what we, the original 7, could never do -- They infiltrated Spoocheeeee and manipulated the evil leader of Spoocheeeee, Mr. Alan Johnson. If it weren't these brave souls, I hate to even think what would have happened to us. Mr. Alan Johnson was holding the five of us in some cement cell. We were nothing more than bargaining chips for this crazed man. He asked the new Sammeeeees to hand Peeps over to him and then he would release "the five". These new Sammeeeees felt there should be another way to free us. They told Mr. Johnson there would be "no deal".
The Sammeeeees also hooked up with a group known as "the White Roses". The White Roses are former Jackals (also hiding out, like Peeps) that had formed a resistance group to bring down Spoocheeeee. They knew certain secrets about Spoocheeeee, but needed the Sammeeeees to put these secrets together and to hunt down the ancient disc. The Spoocheeeee disc, which gave the evil empire it's power, had been separated into five pieces. This was a precaution taken by Spoocheeeee to insure that their power would never be destroyed. Each piece was given to a Spoocheeeee elder. Following many different paths and secret codes (and barely beating Mr. Johnson to a couple of the pieces), the Sammeeeees found each of these elders and each piece of this ancient disc.
After the disc was found, the Sammeeeees were nearly set to put the five piece together and to do the ancient "ritual" that would destroy Spoocheeeee, when they discovered that they needed one more item, a snake. This snake needed to be placed in the center of the disc in order for the "ritual" to be effective. It turned out that our friend, Peeps, had kept the snake for his own protection against the evil Mr. Alan Johnson.
By this time, Mr. Alan Johnson was aware that the Sammeeeees had all the pieces of his precious disc. He threatened to kill "the five" if they did not hand over this disc. The Sammeeeees responded with their own threat. They told him to free the five and allow Peeps to live his life as an ordinary man. Mr. Johnson responded with this video.
The Sammeeeees had their own plan. They agreed to turning Peeps over to him (to free the five), but insisted that once he received the disc, that Peeps must be set free. They then allowed Peeps to turn himself over to Mr. Johnson, which was supposed to free the five, but only freed four of the five. Mr. Johnson kept Dwin as a way to lure his old love, Patricia Moore, back to his arms. The Sammeeeees also told Mr. Johnson that they were sending the disc to him on the condition that when he received it, he must set Peeps free. They then sent Konamouse out to a sacred spot in the Nevada desert, where she performed the ancient ritual in reverse. The Sammeeeees successfully destroyed the power of Spoocheeeee.
EDIT: I promise I will get back to this soon, guys. RL has taken over. (Ben is out of control.)
I'm still Happy.
