So it's confession time.
A couple people know this, but mostly I've kept it to myself.
Beginning in May, I was contacted by a mysterious source outside the castle, who offered me information in exchange for some that she couldn't get, living outside the castle. She said her name was Robyn, and she was the source of my intel on a creature going after people with items from the Lost Room.
At the end of that month, she sent me another message: a map and a cipher, with no further explanation.
You can see that map here:
and the cipher, which read:
Smallville and I cracked the code and uncovered the message:
SEVEN ARE GONE
FIVE ARE KNOWN
ROBYN
We speculated about what it might mean, thinking that it had something to do with the Dead Zone disappearances last year, given that that was something Robyn and I had discussed briefly.
That's not the confession part.
The confession is that I now know, and have suspected for some time now, that this 'mystery contact' was actually Riful.
Some of us went snooping in her room yesterday and found copies of the conversations I'd had with her there, as well as another copy of the map, though it was slightly different. It confirms what a few of us had been suspecting.
I should have brought this out in the open sooner, but I didn't want to believe the worst, and I thought--
That's not important now. I'm beginning to wonder if it might be worth investigating the points on the map marked here, just in case this isn't about the Dead Zone disappearances. Especially with all this murmuring going around about her movements lately...
So. Who's up for a little recon?
Edit: You can find the map that was in her room here too.
