Codename: DoubleL has been a pretty busy person as of late.  In her most recent videos she has left various clues for the players to think on.  Some of them in the form of tiny codes...

+
Early on in the series, Double L sent out a series of emails, received by members of the CodenameTripleKnot Forums, which, when put together spelled out LL's catch phrase "Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned."  There was an issue with these notes, however, as there was obviously more to the message than was receieved.
−
This video was intended to be a response to GuillotineCalamity's video, [http://youtube.com/watch?v=7M-EzGjBctQ The Invitation <nowiki>[Part 2]</nowiki>].... In the video in question, Double L answers most of the questions Sister muttered to herself as she walked through a dark (and seemingly empty) house finding various items.  Each of the items that Sister comes across is "picked on" by LL. It can be argued that Sister was being taunted or helped by LL with the showing of the importance of the items she had passed by.
+
−
One of the more notable nods was a message written on a wall or fence that Sister scanned over.  Sister had "spotlighted" the writing on the wall, but it was still difficult to make out.  With help from LL, we find the the message is... "''They're all dead.  They just don't know it yet.''"

==Double L's Blog==

** from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHFYcVqgyNs <nowiki>[Cassie(?)]</nowiki> Part I], the code (''[http://www.tinypic.com/2co0z01 2co0z01]'') was found in the last few seconds of the video.  The pic found: A general montage of scary LL masks with the word "''Hell''" superimposed on the pic.
+
−
** from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RJBEiuF5yo <nowiki>[Cassie(?)]</nowiki> Part II], the code (''[http://www.tinypic.com/403ip79 403ip79]'') was found, again, in the last few seconds of the video.  The code was a little less discernable, this time.  It is led to believe that because of so, the pic found from this code has a bit more meaning than the other two.  In the pic found: like the previous one, featured a montage of scary LL masks, and this time, the words "''hath no''" superimposed on the pic... but... what set this one apart was...
+
−
*** it featured [[Bree]] (the 'starlet' of the LG15 world) in the center.
+
−
*** part of the backdrop was where [[Jonas]] (another LG15 character) initially made his videos.  Revealing the fact that this part of the pic was taken from when Bree had done a vlog from Jonas' house.  Most likey her most recent video, in which she expressed her irritation and distress with her male counterpart(s).
+
−
*** lastly, a scary LL mask had been superimposed on Bree's face.
+
−
** from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVxpNngqDBI <nowiki>[Cassie(?)]</nowiki> Part III (Through the Wall)], the code (''[http://www.tinypic.com/2poqgpz 2poqgpz]'') was found, but this time was in the '''first''' few seconds of the video, and easily visible, like the first one was.  Also, just like its predecessors, a montage of scary LL masks, and superimposed on the pic, the word "''fury''".  The only things I could see that were worth any note was
+
−
*** another "Bree-head" partially superimposed with an LL mask
+
−
*** and a part of the upper left of the pic that looked somewhat like a door.  It just looked quite out of place to me...
+
−
** from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3eS5ZCpJUs <nowiki>[Cassie(?)]</nowiki> Part IV] near the end (around :27 or :28 in the video) another code (''[http://www.tinypic.com/48efdz5 48efdz5]'') flashes intermittently, in plain view.  You just need to freeze the video at the right time, to see it.  And again, another montage of scary LL masks... The word "''like''" is in the pic, but someone other than Bree is seen in a mask
+
−
*** this time... it looks like it's... Jonas. (lower-left hand corner)
+
−
*** and DoubleL's mismatched blue and brown eyes keep watch.
+
−
** from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZrfvtgzUg <nowiki>[Cassie(?)]</nowiki> Part V] near :17 another code (''[http://www.tinypic.com/2cmwzh0 2cmwzh0]'') flashes in plain view. And again, another montage. The word "''a''" is in the pic.
+
−
+
−
The phrase in the pictures, when put together is "HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED" (Which, at the time, is rumored to be the current answer to Sister's "'''Knock Thrice'''" riddles).  Is Double L trying to reference to something that may happen in the [[Breeniverse]], or is she trying to send a message to Bree?  This would seem quite odd, since up to now, Bree has never seemed to have been able to see any of the ARG videos.

The titles of LL's videos are a bit peculiar.  Especially the first ten.  When compiled together and put in reverse order they make the sentence "If Looks Could Kill Then I Would Make Myself Blind". Though the quote's origins are not entirely known, the video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgmyCRU3q7o Project Static.] offers a possible explanation at the end.

YouTube TheLadyLazarus

TheLadyLazarus a.k.a. Codename: Double L is a very mysterious fan fiction character connected to the GuillotineCalamity (aka Sister) ARG Arc on YouTube. The contributor of this character introduced LL by utilizing lines from the poem "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath in the first ten videos.

What is known about [Codename: DoubleL]

As of yet, there is not very much information out there on LadyLazarus (AKA "LL" or Double L.) There are more questions than answers concerning this character. One of the biggest questions is whether "Lady" Lazarus is in fact a lady.... Recent discussions on the CTK Forums have led players to believe that LL is actually a man. Of course it hasn't helped that we never really see LL's face as it is usually covered by a strange mask. Even so, LL's face has also been blurred, smudged and faded in some videos.

The change of the name from TheLadyLazarus to Double L has made it easier to create the ambiguity of gender.

Another big question is Double L's relation to Sister. There are some players who swear that DoubleL has been a truly evil character from the beginning. While it is true that her first set of videos were definitely not of a jovial nature, her more recent actions do not reciprocate such intentions.

As of late, Double L seems to be quite friendly with GuillotineCalamity. In her newfound blog a message warning Sister of her grandfather, W was decrypted. Oddly enough, this wasn't the first time Double L has sent Sister a message of warning concerning W. Though, for the sake of argument, this may also be seen as DoubleL taunting Sister about being chased.

Double L and Sister.... Friends or foes?

In all "TheLadyLazarus", "LL", "Double L", or whatever you want to call him/her is an incredibly complicated character, and will continue to be so until he/she chooses to reveal more about themself.

Video Clues and URLs

Early on in the series, Double L sent out a series of emails, received by members of the CodenameTripleKnot Forums, which, when put together spelled out LL's catch phrase "Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned." There was an issue with these notes, however, as there was obviously more to the message than was receieved.

Double L's Blog

LL's blog userpic

Double L has made several posts into his/her recently made blog on LiveJournal. The first two blogs each featured a letter to a character she calls "B" (this character is later confirmed to be YouTube user ProjectStatic). Both letters tell coherent stories, but are, in actuality, two coded messages.

The Sebald Code

On Double L's blog description there is always a hint as to which code she may be using in her current blog. For these two entries it was found that LL was utilizing the Sebald Code, which was first mentioned in Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, and attributed to Dr. Gustav Sebald. The Sebald code is very easy to spot and almost as easy to read... if you know how. The key to spotting a Sebald code is any ringing sound. In the case of DoubleL's letters to "B" it was was the tell-tale "ring-ring" imitating a phone. Whenever that ringing is heard, the code has intiated! The first word after the ring is in code, then every 11th word is in code. When ringing is heard again, the code ends.

"Dearest B" Posted, January 23rd, 2007: The blog is written in plain script, unencrypted in any way (other than the Sebald code mentioned above.) After using the Sebald code technique, the following message was found within the letter.

guillotine calamity beware W is near He will get You you won't live DoubleL.

Blog 2

"Fall is dory. Horn Fist Hu." Posted, January 24th, 2007:

This blog, the second letter to "B" is believed to be a bit more important than the first, due to it being quite heavily encrypted, this time. The message had gone through multiple stages of encoding. The blog itself was posted in morse code. This was decoded to find it in binary. Decoding from binary the team found that the message was written in reverse text.

Of course, the team still ran the message through the Sebald code gambit, which revealed another hidden message:

B her eyes are black now I'm scared DoubleL

Also of note in the second blog entry is that an anagram was found in the title:

"L is for Lady, H is for Hurt"

The Videos

Lady Lazarus supposedly at the park from the videos In The Park, The Action of an Enemy - Be Careful, and When I Get To The Bottom Where I Stop
The second TinyPic URL photo that raised some questions, seeing as it has LL's mask over Lg15's face

In the "Rebirth Of Cassie" videos he/she has left various clues for the players to think on. Some of them in the form of tiny codes... Each of the clues we were left within these videos were tiny codes that turned out to be tinypic URLs. Each picture found in their respective tinyurl had Double L's signature mask in them... many times.

The Catch Phrase

When put together, the phrases in the pictures spell out "HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED"

[Cassie(?)] Part VI -- February 16th, 2007

[Cassie(?)] Part VII -- February 16th, 2007

Revelations -- February, 17th, 2007

Note: The first ten videos (compiled in 'Lady Lazarus') have been removed, but when complied in reverse order, they formed the sentence "If Looks Could Kill Then I Would Make Myself Blind".

Game Ended?

On March 25th, 2007, someone claiming to be the Puppet Master for TheLadyLazarus posted a message on an LGpedia Admistrator's page stating that he is ending this ARG. Shortly after, the writers and PM of Guillotine Calamity confirmed that they will write the rest of LL's story. However, it now seems that he has taken the reigns much more and severed ties with GC to create a more lg15-centric ARG.

Series Finale

Some time ago it was announced on the LG15 forums that a series finale is being planned, and will be released in six parts. It is noted that it was originally intended for August, and all but the final video was posted.

More recently the account has been closed which suspiciously coincides with former character Tinny09's last video "Conclusion: The vindictive cousin" The last frame of the video has The Lady Lazarus's account URL and the option "Close Account" in brackets. Oddly enough the video description has the number six in it, so could this be the last part of the series finale?

Operation SCORN

It seems a YouTube profile named OpScorn is stalking Double L, and apparently has his mask.
