Have you seen this symbol?

Sorry for being so quiet. Work is nuts. I've been checking twitter and tumblr every day though, I promise.

Memories.

I've been thinking a lot about my "removed" memories. It's hard to explain exactly how it is, but I'm going to try.

It's like when you've heard the same story about yourself as a kid over and over. You don't actually remember it yourself, but you've heard the story so many times, your mind fabricated a "memory" of it. You know you don't actually remember it, and it feels really off if you think to hard about it. 

After I read that note, every time I try to think about that period of time, I get that feeling. I can "remember" vague generic days, being really tired, nothing specific, but the "memories" feel really wrong. The note said my mind "did it's best to fill in the blanks", so that would explain the similar feeling.

Or I'm just insane, lets not rule that one out just yet.

It looks like no one I know picked up whatever was at Clark Park.

I'm hoping whatever was there was just picked up by some random person and thrown away. The alternative is troubling.

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

Went by Clark Park just a few minutes ago

There was nothing there. Either it was a goose chase, one of you guys got it, or someone worse beat me to it.

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

So guestuser17 figured out the map is Clark Park. Man, you're quick. It also seems that the part highlighted in gold is some bleachers on the south-west side of the baseball field. There has to be something there.

I've got some stuff going on with my family for the next couple days, so If anyone who follows me lives close enough to go check it out, be my guest. Hopefully by the time someone/me gets to check it out, whatever it is that's there, is still there.

I'd also like to remind everyone: if you figure out the password to introduction.zip send it to me privately! 

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

VERY IMPORTANT POST ABOUT THE .ZIP FILE

It's a password protected .zip file named "introduction.zip". I've been trying different combinations of Aurum X, Aurum, Gold, anything I can think of but it's not working. It's a pretty small file, I have no idea what is in it

This is the link I was sent to both files:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/94r27qfrkfi2b/Introduction

TWO VERY IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT IT: 

Fair warning, guestuser17 told me his antivirus said it was "unsafe". I don't know if it could really do anything, being so small, but: OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK!

If you manage to figure out/obtain the password DO NOT POST IT PUBLICLY. I want to go through it myself before posting it. If you do manage to get it open, please send me the password PRIVATELY!!! I don't want to take a chance on giving Phosphorescent or anyone associated with him to get any new information before I do.

So, this is the picture, it looks like another map of another park. It's not Mitchell, I know that. I'm pretty sure that's a baseball field at the bottom left/on the right.

There's a part highlighted in gold on map on the left, and the blown up section on the right. I'm guessing there's something there. No way of knowing what until I figure out where this is.

I'm going to make a separate post for the .zip file right after this. 

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

Turns out the symbol in the journal was for Gold. It's crossed out, not sure why.

I don't know what the mean by "help", or if I even want their brand of help. They also didn't leave any way to contact them, so how can they even help me?

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

I went to Mitchell Park today.

I followed the map from the screenshot of "While You Were Sleeping" and the boards that the journal was supposed to be under had been moved.

I was really worried it had been picked up by someone, or thrown away. The journal wasn't under the boards, but as you can see the map from "While You Were Sleeping" was tapped to the wall. 

The paper and the tape seemed to be in good condition, I don't think it had been there long. Also it wasn't hidden very well, and the fact that no one had messed with it makes me think it couldn't have been like that for very long.

There was a new mark on the map that wasn't there in "While You Were Sleeping", on the volleyball court. I looked around the boards, lifted and looked under each one individually, just to be sure. There wasn't anything else there, so I headed over to the volleyball court.

I got over there and noticed a little mound surrounded by a circle in the sand, that was about where the mark on the map was.

The journal was there, buried in the volleyball court. Everything that was in there in "While You Were Sleeping" seemed to be there, except for a bunch of missing pages, and the map of course. More importantly, there was a message.

"They took over two weeks of your memory. Your mind did it's best to fill in the blanks. You were not sleeping. I can help you. When you are in need, I will help how I can" 

On the page under the message there was another symbol. I don't know if the symbol is crossed out, or if that's part of the symbol. I don't think it is, because it looks like the symbol was drawn in pen, and then crossed out with marker. I don't know why it would be crossed out, it doesn't look like the person who drew it made a mistake while drawing it. If they had, why would they leave that page in there and not try to draw it again?

Overview of my findings:

1 hand drawn map of Mitchell Park.

1 leather zip up journal containing: 

1 note pad, with the first 10-15 pages torn out. 

The original dead drop envelope, still containing the slip of paper with the two symbols and email address on it.

1 large chisel tip black Sharpie

1 black ballpoint pen

1 green highlighter

1 paperclip

1 of those black and metal paper clips. I don't know what they're called

Final thoughts: It looks like one of them might want to help me somehow. I'm gonna assume they're the one who moved the journal and left the map tapped to the wall, I could be wrong about that. It would've been nice for them to leave some kind of contact information. It could also be some kind of trick.

Anyways, if you guys notice anything I missed feel free to let me know. I'm gonna cook something to eat. I'll come back in a bit and see if we can identify that new symbol.

Thank you to guestuser17 for helping me to find the park.

Thank you swagtron4000 for you submissions. I just posted them, I didn't want to edit the posts you submitted, so I'll respond to them in this post.

First, the video screen shot:

Good catch. I looked it up and confirmed that the symbol is for antimony. I'm wondering how many of them could there potentially be? Like, will we run out of elements/symbols at some point?

Second, the DMs from Phosphorescent:

Thank you for trying to get information. What you got doesn't seem like much, but it does corroborate some information I found during my trip to Mitchell Park today, which I'll be uploading soon. As for the offer itself, I don't trust it. 

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

the offer i mentioned is the reason they talked to me in the first place, i said i might be able to help if they told me more about what was going on, to see if that would make them talk. it got me a bit of information i guess, but not as much as i was aiming for.

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

it was hard to get a clear picture, but there's definitely a new symbol on the second person's mask in that video. zinc/cadmiae, phosphorous/phosphorescent, and now antimony by the looks of it. that's another mundane element too, like the others, so it looks like my guess that there'd be more of them was right.

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

This is the conversation, if you could call it that, I had with "Phosphorescent". Like I said, the first time I remember "meeting" him was the 14th of February. 

I'll be going to Mitchell Park in a little while. 

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

Apparently I "don't remember" what I did to get more involved in this.

"Phosphorescent" says so anyways. He also says I can get out if it stays that way. How do I not remember? And what did I even do? I don't really trust this whole being able to walk away thing, seems to good to be true.

I'm going to go see if I can find that journal tomorrow. I'm not going to decide anything until I get a hold of it. 

Anyways, I'm going to try and get some sleep. Or at least get my eyes of a computer screen. I'll check up on everything tomorrow. 

[haveyouseenthissymbol-blog]

Going to Mitchell Park tomorrow. Hopefully "my" journal is still there.
