The best family secrets to uncover are

0:03

the ones where you're not involved,

0:05

but they're delightfully scandalous anyway. It's

0:07

all the mystery and the drama without any of

0:10

the personal stakes, and that's exactly

0:12

what you get with June's Journey. In

0:14

June's Journey, a hidden object mystery game,

0:17

each chapter will take you deeper into

0:19

June Parker's quest to solve her sister's

0:21

murder and uncover her family's many secrets.

0:24

You get to put your detective skills to

0:26

the test, and fast, because it's to your

0:28

advantage to find everything in a scene quickly.

0:31

June's Journey is definitely not a game I

0:33

play mindlessly, which I love because I get

0:35

genuinely invested in both the storyline and my

0:37

ability to spot all the clues at each

0:39

level. There are also tons

0:42

of ways to customize your island, learn more

0:44

about the characters, and fill up your photo

0:46

album. They really have so many delightful details

0:48

in this game that I'm honestly still discovering.

3:12

to worry about it. They're young, but. I.

Just apocalyptic. Christian.

3:42

Kind of may be good. Is actually

3:44

a lot going on here. Okay, it's

3:47

sound like I'm setting the subsidy of

3:49

religious thing and it kind of is.

3:51

but it's also so much more. This

3:53

comes as from one of my Reddit

3:55

exploration. So good. Yes, Something. That's

3:57

where it's like you read the post, you

3:59

think this person's crazy. You brush it off,

4:01

but then you look into it and it's

4:03

like oh My. God. There's. So much

4:05

more here for it's not. Oh my God. Are

4:08

truly for his yes? It doesn't lead back

this isn't an endeavor to sir. It's

4:16

not about you. That. About the Ah

4:19

see nothing like that and yet. It's.

4:21

He saw scared. A little bit

4:23

now because it is like a lot of

4:25

things that we've seen before and yet also

4:27

not like anything we've. Ever seen before. Let's

4:31

get into at this week's

4:33

subject is Oslo the disappearing

4:35

city. Is. How

4:37

Sick? Where have you ever heard of it

4:39

before I mentioned it? Know. Square, even a little

4:41

bit. I. Actually have. But.

4:44

Only very recently and weirdly kind of

4:46

synchronous sickly lining up with the script.

4:48

I watched a documentary called The Institute

4:50

about this A R G in San

4:53

Francisco called the Zune Institute Ago and

4:55

it said that Oslo was one of

4:57

the locations for the Zune Institute and

4:59

I thought that's interesting. The like. Oslo,

5:02

Norway. Yeah, I I looked it up on

5:04

the website and it didn't have a w at the end,

5:06

but that's the only time that I'd her of Oslo. The.

5:09

Documentary though. Definitely suggest the look it up.

5:11

This. Oslo Auto Nevada. Weird.

5:14

Shit going on there. Potentially

5:16

some Cia connections? Move. There's always

5:18

potentially Cia to. Me: Now either they're looking

5:20

into it, or they're involved with, say,

5:23

it's not really entirely. Clear. Their.

5:25

Involved with every yes, In

5:28

any case, we got a juicy. One a

5:30

juicy want us to do. Was

5:33

give the people who use skim the good folks at.

5:35

Home some juice. I was unfamiliar my

5:37

usual sub reddit as I'm one to

5:40

do. Looking. At some abductees stories

5:42

and I saw somebody cross reference

5:44

another sub reddit are flash oslo

5:46

Their comment said if you want

5:48

to see the biggest after the

5:51

story to ever be documented. Check

5:53

this out! That that's a big

5:55

claim. It is a big plane and it's not

5:57

one that I'm going to ignore because I'm. bored

6:00

and I'm stoned and I have nothing better to do. So

6:02

I start reading. And? Oslo,

6:05

Nevada, a small city somewhere

6:07

in western Nevada. It's actually the

6:10

seat of its own county that has a population

6:12

of around 12000 people. So

6:14

it's not super large. It's in a pretty

6:16

remote area, but it is large by our standards.

6:18

It's a couple horse down. Couple horse, three

6:21

horses, two and a half, two and a

6:23

half. We can agree on that. Yeah. It's

6:25

not exactly the type of place that you'd expect

6:27

to just disappear into thin air and everybody just

6:29

forgets about it all of a sudden. No,

6:31

no, that's 12000 people. It's kind

6:33

of a weird thing to say. Yeah. Like what

6:35

does that even mean? I'm not about it. Then

6:38

we remember it disappeared. I still don't know what the fuck I

6:40

mean. OK, it didn't fully disappear. It

6:42

actually is the question thing. Did

6:44

Jesus take him? No, this is Jesus taking him

6:47

from back to tell a tubby thing. How everybody

6:49

forgot that a fifth tell a tubby exists. But

6:51

there's rumors that there was one. It's kind of

6:53

like that. People are starting to remember. The

6:56

intriguing thing is that people didn't seem

6:58

to notice that Oslo disappeared until

7:01

after it came back. Did

7:04

Jesus put him back? Or did it ever

7:06

even exist before? I don't know. Is it? This

7:09

sounds ridiculous. OK, I

7:11

think we should just read the first post

7:13

on R slash Oslo and just get right

7:16

into it. This comes to us from the

7:18

user and also the creator of the subreddit.

7:20

Go fast boats mojito. This is

7:22

John McAfee. Fuck yeah. You imagine

7:24

he's actually not dead. He's just posting on

7:26

this. He's just posting. Yes. I'm going to

7:29

do. Here we go. Just imagine that this

7:31

is a McAfee's voice or something. I

7:33

need to write this somewhere in case I lose

7:35

my memory again somehow. It already happened

7:37

once without me realizing it. And I don't know

7:39

what's happening yet. Here's the

7:41

deal. My 34 male. This

7:44

is me from the future. Oh my God. The

7:48

gears are really turning. My 34 male

7:50

sister. 28 female. Oh

7:53

my God. Could be. No, she'd be 30.

7:55

Yeah. Yeah. Lives in Oslo, Nevada.

7:58

It's kind of close to the Sierra Nevada. mountains

8:00

a little remote but closest to Reno. She

8:03

moved there five years ago and I had been there to

8:05

visit her twice. There's nothing particularly

8:07

unusual about Oslo from what I

8:09

remember, but a few weeks

8:11

ago, right before I fell asleep, I

8:14

had an extremely scary feeling that I

8:16

could only call mental vertigo. It

8:18

felt like I was suddenly aware that I was standing on

8:20

the edge of a cliff when I didn't realize there was

8:23

a canyon beneath me. The

8:25

thing I'd forgotten, the existence

8:27

of Oslo, Nevada, and

8:29

more than that, my sister. I

8:32

was suddenly aware that there were two weeks where

8:34

all of my memories of her were missing from

8:36

my brain. That's odd. Yes.

8:41

I'm afraid that when you read that, you'll

8:43

think I mean I just didn't think about

8:45

my sister or Oslo for two weeks and

8:47

that I'm having some kind of misplaced guilt

8:49

about it. No, you're just

8:51

drunk. What I mean is that I was suddenly aware of

8:53

a blind spot in my brain that had just been refilled.

8:56

And believe me, I tried to comfort myself

8:58

into the belief that I was just forgetful

9:00

and a stupid brother and I should really

9:02

check in with my siblings more. Sequoia, could

9:04

you forget about your sister for just two

9:06

weeks entirely? No, I get

9:09

drunk and I start telling her about

9:11

my problems. This is not normal. So he tries

9:13

to convince himself that this is normal, but that

9:16

didn't last long. It's not normal. When

9:18

I got up the next morning, I figured I'd call

9:20

my sister. The line didn't connect. I

9:22

reached out to my other brother to see if he'd

9:24

heard from her. He went through the

9:26

same odd realization that I had the night before. He

9:29

also couldn't reach her. With

9:32

dread, I reached out to my parents. I'll

9:35

never forget the sound of their shock

9:37

and then terror as they also unsuccessfully

9:39

tried to reach her. We

9:42

don't know what's going on and we're

9:44

terrified. If anyone else has

9:46

friends or family in the Oslo area, please

9:48

reach out to me. I'm planning a trip

9:50

there soon to go find her myself, but

9:52

any info in the meantime would be

9:54

hugely helpful. Thanks for reading. Alright, so

9:57

when was that posted? February 16th. So,

10:01

about a week ago? Any

10:04

follow-up? No. There

10:07

has been no follow-up. And I gotta be honest,

10:09

when I first read this, I kind of just

10:11

brushed it off. Especially that part like with dread,

10:13

I reached out to my parents and she

10:15

was talking to her. It's like, okay.

10:17

I mean, I'm coming

10:20

down on creative writing right now. Yes.

10:23

But just follow along with me

10:25

here because like I said, it's

10:28

a big rabbit hole. There's a follow-up post from

10:30

another user who claims that they knew the OP

10:32

of the first post and they

10:34

went with him on his little

10:36

excursion to Oslo. This one's

10:38

pretty creepy. Do you want to read it, Sequoia? Yeah,

10:40

let's do it. I wanted

10:43

to give an update here about my friend since a lot of

10:45

you have responded to it. I don't know where

10:47

he is or if or when he'll be back. I

10:50

don't know if he's alive. I have submitted a police

10:52

report, but there's been little activity on it. His

10:54

family is panicking, but they were okay with me sharing

10:56

some details. I went with

10:58

him to Oslo. I believed his panic because I've

11:01

never seen him both that clear-headed and that terrified.

11:03

We arrived near Oslo on February 20th, four

11:05

days ago, although we had a really difficult

11:07

time navigating to where the city was supposed to be. To

11:10

our eyes, we couldn't see it at all. We got a bit

11:12

closer by car, retracing where we knew

11:14

the highway should run into it, and we stopped

11:17

when we saw something like a massive, slightly shimmering

11:19

film that stretched across the whole sky. My

11:21

friend this whole time seemed to be feeling an unreal amount

11:24

of dread the closer we got to the thing. I

11:26

told him we shouldn't go any closer, but it's like he couldn't help

11:28

it. He kept talking about needing

11:30

to save his sister. He wouldn't listen to me. I

11:33

watched him walk right into that weird barrier and disappear behind

11:35

it. Whatever you do, do

11:37

not approach Oslo. I know this is Reddit

11:39

and people get all excited about doing the kind of spooky

11:41

exploration shit that can get you killed or fucked up, but

11:44

I'm dead serious about this. If you don't listen

11:46

to my warning, I at least know I tried. So

11:49

how much of this is, um, you know, verifiable? Oh,

11:52

do you mean the part about the giant

11:54

shimmering like thing of energy stretching across the

11:56

sky? Yeah. Did you check

11:58

the weather channel? Um, has to say about it.

12:01

Okay. So, even though

12:03

it sounds completely unbelievable. Yeah,

12:05

it sounds like a creative writing.

12:07

It does. I don't know.

12:09

It's kind of... It's a weird feeling to us.

12:12

No, I totally agree and I'm like

12:14

laughing it off because I

12:16

actually don't know what to make of this. There's

12:18

something about like Ozflow with the W's. It's like I feel like

12:20

I'm getting like weird day job or something. No,

12:23

I know. I'm getting

12:25

goosebumps right now too. Like literally, like actually.

12:28

Okay. So, I

12:30

don't know what the fuck is going on with this.

12:32

How much is real? How much is it real? But

12:35

we're gonna try to figure it out as we go

12:37

through the episode. All right. Well, how much

12:39

more did you find? This

12:42

rabbit hole goes so deep that I don't know if there is

12:44

an end to it. It's a story of a bunch

12:47

of intertwining supernatural disturbances, corrupt

12:49

police department, religious weirdo chief

12:51

of police because of course,

12:53

underground CIA tunnels and... Oh

12:55

yeah? Get ready for

12:57

this. I'm teasing

13:00

a shapeshifter. A shapeshifter? Because of course.

13:02

A shapeshifter. Yeah, let's get into it.

13:04

Let's fucking get into it. February

14:00

16th of 2020. I'm

14:02

recording this to safeguard my own memories. Something

14:05

has happened to my friends. Oslo

14:08

is already gone, but now, now

14:12

when I search for Oslo, there's stuff that comes

14:14

up. A Reddit post. People

14:16

who had friends and family in Oslo are

14:18

realizing that it disappeared and they have

14:20

questions. I don't know what's

14:23

happening anymore and I can't reach any of them

14:25

no matter what I try. I can't

14:27

reach Kate, Ren, Sam, Jerry.

14:30

I don't know if I'm in danger of forgetting them

14:32

at this point or what's happening

14:35

anymore. Oslo is back?

14:37

Sort of? That's all I

14:40

really know. Are my friends

14:42

okay? Is all of this useless? Will I be

14:44

able to reach them again? I

14:55

have to keep going. The

14:57

only thing that I know how to do is

14:59

to keep going. Only

15:04

a handful of pages survived my last

15:06

attempt at mediumship. I'm about

15:09

to attempt another one, but I don't know if

15:11

it will do anything. All

15:13

I know is that at some point,

15:15

Sam succeeds in pulling Anna out of

15:17

her timeline and into the source. Therefore,

15:20

I have to believe that

15:22

Sam and the rest of them are still

15:25

alive in Oslo. Or

15:27

where Oslo used to be and maybe

15:29

as again? Oh, I hate

15:32

this. I don't

15:35

know if they're trapped in some otherworldly

15:37

dimension or if they're just in

15:40

some kind of dead zone. I

15:44

can't accept that this has all been

15:46

useless though. My gut is telling

15:49

me to keep trying even

15:51

with a silence. I'll figure this

15:53

one out as I go. For

15:55

now, I have to believe that they're

15:57

still there, but unreachable.

16:01

I can't do much about that right

16:03

now. Besides spend some time with Anna's

16:06

remaining pages and see if there's anything

16:08

else there. I

16:24

blocked all the light from the doors and windows again. Set

16:27

up my chair, made all the

16:29

pages, and got my one

16:31

remaining candle ready to go. Looks

16:34

like we're ready. We'll be fine. It'll

16:40

be okay. I can do this. Think

16:43

how proud a weather would be. Ah.

16:52

Ah. Ah.

17:07

Pages, if

17:09

there is more I need to know,

17:12

please tell me. Signal,

17:27

wake, time,

17:31

grows. Am

17:35

I looking for a signal? Am

17:40

I giving a signal? Giving.

17:48

Time grows. Is that

17:51

what's happened to them and also are

17:53

they caught in a kind of... All

17:58

The water has come inside of us. Ah,

18:28

Com has. Something.

18:32

To me. Police.

18:42

This time I broke out of the

18:44

chance before the fire team of the Police.

18:58

Are you so said The

19:00

Ori? Eighteen, twenty twenty. I'll

19:04

admit, it's. Jumping straight

19:06

into hard core medium ship has

19:09

not been easy on my body.

19:12

I tried to look up some tips for how to do

19:14

this on the. Internet, but it's clear

19:16

that this kind of practice is

19:18

meant to be built up. Like.

19:23

Over a long periods of

19:25

time. I

19:28

suppose I'm lucky that.

19:30

I've only been in bed for

19:32

two. Days. I'm

19:36

still able to reach any one Oslo.

19:40

I'm starting to feel better, so I'm

19:42

hoping that I'll be able to drive

19:44

to Nevada and see what's going on.

19:48

I have even been home for

19:51

three whole weeks now. I'm getting.

19:53

Ready to leave. I

19:57

miss my family already. I.

20:01

Need a pick me up? A

20:09

recording I am. I

20:14

an ushered in. You of

20:16

sound, mind and body. the quit my collection

20:19

of. June Edo to What Maria

20:21

So in it's entirety it has

20:23

served me well and terrifyingly and

20:25

therefore it is passing in summary,

20:27

his hands to be treasured for

20:29

the rest of her days. The

20:33

fact that if you want me to do it

20:35

again. So

20:37

you so or group? well, We're

20:47

so close. We're

20:50

so close to finding you.

20:54

Know teasing out. I promise.

21:17

You meet someone else?

21:19

know everything spines my

21:22

room. I just I

21:24

wanted to ask about

21:26

how things around here.

21:30

Have some friends around here. Sorry

21:35

for your misfortune. Who

21:39

are you mean? Down to

21:41

just be up the road. There

21:44

and. People

21:46

has been coming by to. See it. Didn't

21:51

come back. Wouldn't.

21:53

Recommend going out at nights are you.

21:56

tried to when everyone

21:59

listens Everyone? All

22:02

these... mystery

22:04

hunters. I think

22:06

they're following some kind of fun internet

22:08

story, but it's... it's

22:11

worse than that. Much

22:13

worse. So there's

22:15

been a lot of people coming through here?

22:19

More business these past few days than I've

22:21

seen in the last year. And

22:23

it's getting busier every day. Keep

22:27

me in business, though. You mean

22:29

you're going to have to shut down? I'm

22:31

choosing to. My

22:34

family has owned this place for close to

22:36

50 years. I'm not giving it up easy.

22:39

You have to understand. I

22:42

stayed after what happened in Agate Shore.

22:44

Most people didn't. But

22:47

seeing a whole town disappear.

22:51

One you've lived in. Went

22:53

to school in. One that you

22:55

know for sure exists. Well,

23:01

that's just too much for me. I

23:06

know they say the devil lives

23:08

in Nevada. And

23:11

now I believe it. Well,

23:16

thank you for everything. Sure

23:19

thing. I

23:24

hope you find your friends. Thanks.

23:40

Maria Soul, September 21st, 2020. I'm

23:44

staying at the closest operational motel I

23:46

could find, which is 15 minutes outside

23:48

of Agate Shore. Which

23:50

is where I am now. I

23:53

figured this was as good a place to start as any.

23:57

I'm still in my car. I

24:00

haven't wanted to get out yet. I

24:02

feel just as creeped out now that the last

24:04

time I was here, the

24:07

vegetation is still unnaturally large,

24:09

even in winter, but

24:11

the air is full of birds and

24:13

insects now. Here. I

24:23

cannot stress enough how much this

24:26

kind of life shouldn't be here

24:28

in the high desert in February.

24:36

It's been a week since my friends disappeared

24:38

and there's still no sign of them. I

24:41

called Peter soon after it happened and we've

24:43

been staying in contact ever since. He's

24:47

beside himself, unsurprisingly, but right now

24:49

he's trying to focus on caring

24:51

for Andrew. I've managed

24:53

to convince him to stay in Canada so far,

24:56

but I suspect he'll lose his patience sooner or

24:58

later, despite how dangerous the

25:00

situation is and

25:03

despite how much I keep stressing that

25:05

fact. But

25:10

anyway, yeah, I'm

25:12

at Agate Shore now. I don't

25:14

know what I'm looking for exactly, but I

25:17

figured I'd look for clues around the lake

25:19

first. Anna's projection said

25:21

that the well should be manifesting

25:23

somewhere around here. That's

25:25

the key to all of this, apparently. Maria

25:32

Soul, February 24th, 2020. I

25:36

have been over every inch of this

25:38

lake, twice. I've

25:41

managed to avoid the talons of

25:43

some rather large ravens and some

25:45

other birds I don't recognize. I've

25:48

shaken off beetles and crawling things I

25:50

definitely didn't recognize, and I'm no longer

25:53

convinced that any of them, have a

25:55

natural origin. Oh,

25:58

also, my mother- tell let

26:00

me know this afternoon that they're shutting down for

26:02

good tomorrow morning. Apparently

26:05

the manager keeps having these horrible

26:07

nightmares about falling into a void

26:10

every night. Lovely.

26:14

They did tell me I could stay in the room

26:16

free of charge if I had nowhere else to stay.

26:21

After I pressed them, they

26:24

also warned me that the water and power

26:26

would be turned off at the end of

26:28

the month and they couldn't guarantee my safety.

26:31

Which, I mean, that's

26:34

fine with me. I can't

26:36

even give myself that guarantee. Honestly,

26:43

I need to

26:45

see how close I can get to Oslo.

26:49

I've been afraid to go any further than this

26:51

until now, but I

26:53

have to. I

26:57

just can't stop thinking. If

26:59

people could approach black holes on their

27:02

own, would they

27:04

know when they're in too deep? When

27:07

there's no escape? That's

27:12

just the kind of question that I wish

27:14

I could ask Ren. Maria

27:22

Sol February 25th, 2020. I

27:26

tried to approach Oslo near Jerry's house to

27:28

see if I could recognize any of the

27:31

landmarks around there, and then I had to

27:34

stop. I

27:37

was just filled with this enormous

27:39

sense of dread. I

27:43

mean, I must still be at least

27:46

two miles from Jerry's, but

27:49

once I stopped, I noticed. Well,

27:53

I'm just sitting in my

27:55

car now, staring at it. How

27:58

do I describe this? I

28:03

saw this artist

28:05

on the Santa Monica Pier one time, on a

28:08

date with Anna. He had

28:10

a small easel set up on the canvas,

28:12

working out at the shoreline. I

28:14

watched as he began to paint the scene

28:16

that existed behind the canvas. Color

28:19

matching the sands, the waves, the

28:22

sky, even bits of the

28:24

umbrellas, or people that stayed still long

28:26

enough to be counted. By

28:28

the time he was done, you could

28:30

barely tell where the sky above ended

28:33

and his canvas began. But

28:37

even so, the

28:39

world that he painted was too

28:42

static, too neat. The

28:45

illusion was broken the moment someone

28:47

crossed behind the canvas, like

28:51

it was showing a portal into a quieter,

28:54

deader shoreline. That's

28:58

what I feel like I'm looking

29:00

at now, ahead of me. What

29:02

I see is clean, empty

29:05

desert. But I

29:07

know, I know that

29:09

at this point the road should continue

29:11

in a downward curve off to the left.

29:14

I should be able to see a swath of rural

29:16

homes, some distant farmland, the

29:18

dotting of trees on the horizon near

29:21

Santa Lucia. Wait,

29:35

I can see the edges of it. It's

29:39

like, well, whatever

29:42

it is, it's huge.

29:46

It looks kind of round.

29:51

It's arching over. God,

29:53

that must be over a huge portion

29:56

of the Oslo area, because,

29:59

right. Because at this point, the

30:01

city starts to come into view. It's...

30:05

Oh my God. Yeah.

30:09

Now I can see just enough light cracking

30:12

off this bubble. And

30:15

now I can see the difference, just

30:18

like with that artist. I'm

30:25

going to see if I can get any closer with my

30:27

van. I'm

30:31

going to attempt to throw a rock at this barrier

30:35

thing. It's

30:57

gone? What

31:02

the hell was

31:04

that? Hey!

31:16

What did you find? Marisaal,

31:24

February 26th, 2020. I

31:29

really didn't want to come back here today.

31:32

I didn't want to look at it again. It's

31:35

the hugest anomaly I've ever

31:37

seen. I feel like an

31:43

ant standing in front of an eldritch

31:45

god. This huge,

31:48

evil... bubble?

31:52

Ugh. Well,

31:56

I still can't think of a better word. And

32:00

yet, when

32:03

I returned today, I noticed some

32:05

differences from yesterday. For

32:07

one thing, that feeling of

32:09

dread hit me

32:12

earlier. I had to pull over

32:14

much further away than I did before. I

32:17

also remember knocking some trash out of my

32:19

car in my hurry to leave yesterday, which...

32:23

yeah, my bad. But now,

32:26

it's nowhere to be seen. And

32:28

sure, it could have just blown away,

32:32

but it got me thinking. Time

32:36

grows. That's

32:40

one of the messages that came through

32:42

my medium session. I'm

32:44

not sure what this all means yet, but maybe

32:47

I can test it. There.

32:59

A rocky heart for Oslo. Now,

33:02

that shouldn't blow away. Oh

33:08

my God. Oh my God! Oh,

33:10

wait, uh, Maria Sol, February 27th, 2020. It

33:14

worked! I was right.

33:17

Those rocks I laid down yesterday aren't here

33:19

anymore. They're behind what the edge

33:21

of this bubble is now. I

33:24

can't even get close to where they were when I placed them.

33:26

I asked them, I may be

33:28

a half mile further down the road this

33:30

time. Time

33:32

grows. And

33:36

Kate and Sam and all of them see those

33:38

rocks now? I just

33:40

say they have to venture all the way

33:42

out here for no reason to see it,

33:44

but I want them to

33:46

see. I want them to know that

33:48

I'm out here looking for them. Thank

33:56

you. Okay,

34:01

so looking at this map, I'm

34:04

guessing that the bubble has expanded by close to

34:06

a mile since I first came out here. I

34:09

could sure is 16

34:11

to 17 miles away from my current

34:13

location, so if

34:16

this trend holds, the bubble will

34:18

touch the lake in about a month.

34:22

Signal. Lake. What

34:28

kind of signal am I supposed to create with the

34:30

lake? And what kind

34:32

of signal would possibly help? I mean, do

34:35

they just need to know that I'm still out

34:37

here? Ugh. Anna

34:43

would have the perfect answer. Maria

34:49

Sol March 5th, 2020. Well,

34:53

wouldn't you know it, the eastern edge

34:55

of the bubble is several miles closer to the lake

34:57

than it was last time. And

35:01

I know what I want to leave for Sam now. The

35:05

tape was Anna's projection. The

35:07

ones explain how he's supposed to find Anna

35:09

and the nature of the well and

35:12

how he'll have to enter the well to find her.

35:16

If the well will be at the lake, I

35:19

can only assume that means the lake needs

35:21

to be claimed by this bubble before Sam

35:24

can do anything. So

35:26

now I'm just waiting

35:28

out the dates. Maria

35:34

Sol March 15th, 2020. Hi

35:38

Anna, just wanted

35:41

to talk to you out loud. I

35:47

hope we'll see each other again soon. I've

35:52

been really afraid to say that out

35:54

loud especially, but things

35:58

being as they are, They are?

36:02

I might as well say it. Maria

36:08

Sol, March 20th, 2020. Sure

36:12

enough, Peter couldn't stand the distance

36:14

anymore. He's getting on a

36:16

flight to Reno a few days from now. He

36:19

should be getting here soon after that. You

36:23

know, I'm honestly surprised

36:25

he lasted over a month. I've

36:28

filled him in as much as I can, and he wants to

36:30

be here. He

36:35

said he wants to be here when

36:38

they all make it. Hello

36:47

listeners, Virginia Spots here with Van Winkle to

36:50

give you a word from our sponsor, Factor.

36:53

Thank you so much Factor for your support

36:55

of the show, and we love your delicious

36:57

ready-to-eat meals they make eating better every day

36:59

easy. Absolutely, two minutes

37:01

on the microwave, great little restaurant quality

37:04

meal. It's amazing and really

37:06

helps from just eating the same

37:08

turkey sandwich every day. That is so true.

37:10

Repetition is so easy when you're just like

37:12

busy, but with Factor you have over 35

37:14

different options a week to choose

37:16

from, including keto, calorie smart, vegan and veggie and

37:19

more. And there's even more to enjoy with over

37:21

55 nutrition packed add-ons that help

37:23

make your weekly meal planning even more

37:25

delicious. I also really appreciate that Factor

37:28

is less expensive than Takeout. That can

37:30

be a pitfall for me. And every

37:32

meal is dietician approved to be nutritious

37:34

and delicious. We love that fiber content.

37:36

That is helpful. Same here. I am

37:39

personally quite guilty of spending too much

37:41

money on delivery and things that are

37:43

not dietician approved, so it's much better

37:45

for me. So listeners, you can head

38:15

listeners, Van Winkle here with Virginia spots

38:17

and I am so happy to say

38:19

that today's episode is sponsored by HelloFresh.

38:21

I've used HelloFresh a lot in the

38:23

past and it was so great to

38:25

be able to use them again in

38:27

the last few weeks. It really helps

38:29

me with my struggle with meal prep

38:31

and grocery store runs, things I am

38:33

historically very, very bad at. It really

38:35

takes the complicated and stressful parts out

38:37

of preparing food for the week and

38:39

making sure you have good things to

38:41

cook. It really is. I struggle

38:44

with the same thing and I love that

38:47

each HelloFresh box is packed with farm fresh

38:49

ingredients and everything arrives pre-portioned right to your

38:51

doorstep for less hassle and less wasted

38:53

food. And that can be a real problem for

38:56

me because I have ADHD and I forget that

38:58

I buy things or I have a hard time

39:00

just with the executive dysfunction of planning a meal

39:02

and putting it together. But when I open a

39:04

box, it's just all the little stuff right there

39:07

and it's all nice on place and it's all

39:09

pretty and it's the fun

39:11

part of cooking and I really, really

39:13

love that. Exactly. Well, listeners of the

Maria Sol. And Peter Slate. March

39:39

29th, 2020. See, you got it. Thanks,

39:42

Maria. You're right about the barrier shifting.

39:45

It's a lot further out

39:48

now. It is. See

39:52

how it's arching around the lake? It's

39:54

still maybe a mile out from the water, But

39:57

it must just be waiting for the perfect time to

39:59

absorb. I'm having by

40:01

a thirty first. Are you busy for

40:03

a. Year. I mean,

40:06

I've had to. I.

40:09

42:24

Oh my god, I have

42:27

the worst luck. Am I going to have to take a

42:30

selfie video? Maria

42:45

soul March 30th 2020 I

42:54

Don't know whether it's the last one that'll

42:56

ever see or just the

42:59

last normal one for a bit The

43:03

bubble has sort of bent around

43:05

the whole lake there's still

43:08

this narrow opening at the end where I

43:10

came through I Probably

43:13

shouldn't be in here. It's like

43:16

wandering into a tiger's jaws Still

43:21

The Sun says being refracted across

43:23

the water glittering all over

43:25

the surface of this bubble Sure,

43:28

it's evil, but Scott

43:31

shimmer Signal

43:44

Lake There

43:49

well hammer fly high Alright,

44:07

so let's talk about that tarot card, the Six Cups. Yes,

44:10

let's because I've really been

44:12

looking forward to this card

44:14

perfectly represents everything going on

44:16

here because it relates to

44:18

the home, nostalgia, memories. Yeah.

44:22

And it's reversed. Yeah,

44:24

exactly. Like Six Cups is nostalgia,

44:26

simplicity, longing for something in the past. It's

44:28

the thing that is your emotional core, your

44:30

home, you know, but reversed, it

44:33

can be the dark side of all that. The memories

44:35

that keep you trapped, the home you can't escape.

44:38

The home that when you go back to it, you realize

44:40

why you left and why you don't really visit or call

44:43

that much? Yeah, with the home that you

44:45

dream about getting out of, you know? Right.

44:48

Yeah. And it makes me think

44:50

about also all those people, first of all, like trapped in

44:52

Oslo, Oslo itself as a

44:54

place and all the people impacted

44:57

by it that either like aren't believed by

44:59

other people or don't even believe themselves because

45:01

it's all just so crazy and they don't

45:03

know what's real or fake, which is something

45:05

that I can relate to. Yeah,

45:07

I mean, like the Six of Cups

45:09

reverse piece of not necessarily like needing

45:11

to move on, but it's sort of

45:13

like the thing that's keeping you from

45:15

moving, from moving on and going into

45:17

the future. What do we think is

45:19

going to happen for the future of Oslo? I

45:21

is there? You know, it's like kind

45:26

of dire. Sometimes that

45:28

just becomes the story.

45:35

figure out for themselves. Here's

45:37
