The mysterious Numbuh Vine
showed up on Facebook sometime in
March 2015.
He/She/It
had no friends.
But the creature lurked around
KND fan pages and dropped
little hints of what was to come.
A picture here:
A code there:
The alien was generally ignored until
this was posted:
See that tiny URL
in the top left corner?
That got people talking.
And it answered a question
we had been asking ourselves:
IF WE BUILD IT...
WILL THEY COME?
We knew KND operatives were smart.
We knew they were resourceful.
Drop a bread crumb
and they'd follow the trail.
Give them a code and they'll crack it!
Operatives quickly figured out that the countdown
was leading to
April 1st.
And some took that date to be a sign.
Was this an elaborate
April Fools joke?
Numbuh Vine remained eerily silent,
only occasionally dropping new cryptic hints.
The countdown continued.
Operatives
begged
cajoled
demanded
cursed
(tsk tsk)
and
cried to
Numbuh Vine
for answers.
And then,
with ten days to go...
Everything changed.
...
But we'll talk about that next week.
Noooooo! My heart and brain can't take this torture two times in a row! I need to know what happened! Gahhh! Next week is a long wait!

ReplyDeleteWow. I can't believe this went on for so long, I only found out about it on tumblr like a day before April 1st.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr.W... (Looks around secretly)
ReplyDeleteWill you spill early if I gave you some Meatball Sandwiches?
Your plan was great... maybe a little TOO great... cause somewhat... somehow... somecrab caught you off guard xD
ReplyDeleteThis plot was genius to create a huge hype train. And I had no idea that there were clues inside the site code, I should have imagined xD
ReplyDeletePlease keep posting about the rest, I want to see what happens in the end :)
I suppose this g:KND is way more sinister and very abstract than we thought. We need to stop this corrupt organization and retaliate the golden years.
