At first blush, http://funandprettythings.com/ looks like an aesthetic blog, full of colorful images of beads, cats, bracelets, etc.

Naturally, with this being a J.J. Abrams Experience, there’s more to it than that. Clicking on the picture of the computer (a cropped screenshot from Pretty in Pink) gives you this prompt, which the ARG sleuths have already figured out the answer to:

DEAR MEGAN, I HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE THIS NOW. IVE BEEN TRYING TO EMAIL YOU AND CALL YOU, BUT YOU HAVEN’T ANSWERED.  IT’S OK, I FIGURED OUT WHY –  YOUR MOTHER IS BLOCKING MY EMAIL, AND SHE MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR NUMBER.  I FORGIVE YOU, IT’S NOT YORU FAULT. I’M SORRY ABOUT HAVING TO DECEIVE YOU WITH THIS SITE, BUT I NEEDED TO FIND A WAY AROUND YOUR MOTHER’S INTERFERENCE, AND WERE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.  NOW WE CAN TALK IN CONFIDENCE WITHOUT HER FINDING OUT.  IT’LL BE OUR LITTLE SECRET. I NEVER WANTED YOU TO HAVE TO LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW BUT IT’S A FATHER’S JOB TO PROTECT HIS DAUGHTER, AND I NEED TO PROTECT YOU NOW.  YOUR MOTHER NEVER LISTENED TO ME.  THERE WERE THINGS I SAW, IN THE NAVY, THINGS THE SOVIET’S WERE INVOLVED WITH.  SHE DIDN’T BELIEVE ME.  BUT SHE WILL.  EVERYBODY WILL. DO YOU REMEMBER HOW EVERYBODY THOUGHT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS GOING TO END WHEN IT TURNED 2000, AND I BUILT US THAT LITTLE BOMB SHELTER OUT BACK? I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING – THAT TINY PLACE WOULD HAVE LASTED US ABOUT A WEEK, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW MUCH YOUR MOTHER COMPLAINED ABOUT IT, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO MAKE HER HAPPY. SO THIS TIME, I DID IT RIGHT FROM THE START.  IT’S HUGE, SO MUCH BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER!  BUT COZY! AND I FILLED IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU LIKE! WE’LL BE SAFE DOWN THERE, HOPEFULLY FOR YEARS IF WE NEED TO. BUT I NEED YOU TO COME TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THEY MAY ATTACK ANY DAY NOW, SO THERE’S NO TIME TO WASTE. I UNDERSTAND IT MAY BE HARD FOR YOU TO GET TO ME, OR THAT THERE MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH TIME.  SO I HAD ANOTHER SAFE PLACE BUILT – JUST FOR YOU.   IT’S NOT QUITE AS BIG OR NICE AS THE ONE HERE, BUT IT WILL KEEP YOU SAFE.  IT’S BEEN EXPENSIVE TO BUILD, ESPECIALLY SINCE I CAN’T BE THERE WATCHING OVER THE PEOPLE I HIRED AND MAKE SURE THEY DO IT RIGHT.  BUT I’M PAYING THEM ENOUGH THAT THEY BETTER.  BUT NO PRICE IS TOO HIGH FOR YOU.  AND IT’S NOT LIKE MONEY’S GONNA BE GOOD FOR MUCH LONGER.  IT’S RIGHT NEAR YOU IN CHICAGO – DO YOU REMEMEBER YOUR GRANDMA’S OLD HOUSE NEAR THE HIGHWAY?  IT’S IN THE EMPTY LOT RIGHT BEHIND THERE.  IT’LL BE FINISHED ANY DAY NOW.  AS SOON AS IT IS, I NEED YOU TO GET INTO IT AND LOCK THE DOORS BEHIND YOU. EVEN IF YOUR MOTHER IS WATCHING CLOSELY AND YOU CAN’T REPLY, KEEP CHECKING THIS SITE AND I WILL HELP YOU PREPARE AS MUCH AS I CAN. I LOVE YOU, RADIOGIRL.  I JUST WANT YOU TO BE SAFE. LOVE, DAD
