    About an hour ago I received a phone call form a blocked number, since I haven’t had much interaction with Tension since I live out of town I wasn’t even thinking about it.

    I picked up, a man on the other end began reading me my address, and asked me to confirm it was indeed “my address”. I confirmed, and then asked me if I was home. I told him I was. He hung up.

    Literally 20 minutes later there is knock on my door, and a man (who I semi recognize… actor????), well dressed, had a briefcase introduced himself as Omega salvage something. The second I opened the door, he opened the briefcase, and pulled out a bag of sand. It was in a ziplock baggy. He cut a hole in the bag and let the sand start to pour out in my hand.

    I am sure I am messing up his next words but he said something like “We do not need an hour glass to measure time. Her time is running out.”

    He handed me the bag, and then turned and left, before I could ask him any questions.

    Inside the bag was a handwritten note that I couldn’t see until all the sand had run out.

    eeeeekkkkkkkkk!

    That’s awesome!!! Can you make out what’s written on it, it seems to be another language?

      – This rules.

      [edit] I translated it. It says “Buy a fucking ticket” in Elvish.

    Possibly Cyrillic?

    *wonders if it’s awkward to strike up a convo with her boy crush in NY who was learning German and Russian just for translation purposes*

      Cyrillic = Russian? As in, someone who speaks Russian should be able to read this?

      Just a guess. I’m not used to seeing handwritten Cyrillic.

      I’m almost certain Cyrillic is more backwards than that. I think that’s just the regular old Latin alphabet.
      Also, Elvish looks like Arabic, if I’m not mistaken.

      Upon further research, Susie, I think you’re absolutely right! My apologies! I can’t get words atm, but it’s apparently Cyrillic script, I guess like cursive.

      If it’s Cyrillic, and if Cyrillic = Russian, then I just emailed the photo to my Ukrainian friend who also speaks Russian. However, she lives in Paris and I don’t know what time it is there, so it may take a minute.

      My husband and I had a short dispute about it being in Cyrillic. When @nate31464 confirmed I said, “See? I have an eye for languages!” And immediately poked myself in the eye. 0_<

    It’s Serbian немащ вище времена! which translates to: You’re out of time!

    If I had known it was Serbian in the beginning I would have just shown it to my housemate (who’s just happen to be Serbian), lol, and saved myself a lot of trouble! I have to give credit though to those that figured out it was Cyrillic. I used that as my starting point.

    wind up in A Serbian Film?

    Soooo… why Serbian? Is it a sign to Addison that they know where she is? We know she fled Germany, so is she now hiding in Serbia?

      Maybe the faction that is pursuing her a the Serbian arm of whatever the opposing force is. We still haven’t determined who is after her and/or the book. The clear implication is that this is not some quaint American cult. It’s an established….. Mythos? I guess is the best word I can come up with – that spans back to the Pan-European Motherland/Old Countries. As with many stories with ancient histories the American chapter which we all entered into is just the latest in the many escapades spanning the world. They came here, threw out roots and lo and behold it looks like the culmination of their prophecy just might occur on our Golden Shores. (Hysterical chanting of “USA! USA!” Begins in the background).

    Dang that’s cool! Now if only my caller would show up….
    Also I wonder why you’re out of time.
