Apologies Apologies for my silence.
It will end as of this weekend, and is not related to the Winter Court, I assure you!

And Tenshi, did you already give them the list of the chosen ones? Because they don't seem to react to that.
Yeah I gave them the names and got this response yesterday. (Was mostly offline yesterday so didn't post it when I got it.)

thank you for that answer, I am getting more and more intrigued, you answered me, but I see no more questions.. is there nothing more you want to know?
is there nothing more you desire? you said you wanted answers, yet only one question comes my way..
so child, ask your question..
So I need a question to ask them.

Mosa Trajectum will lead you to Spain so be sure to search for it under how it's better known as in the Netherlands: Maastricht. The A2 is the major highway but I'm not sure which town they want.
possibly Vise? its the only town outside of the Mosa Trajectum city limits on what is the A2 inside of the limits southbound. maybe that's it?

The Twitter account is active again.
Myself, Bluesylvia, and Tenshi are the ones tagged in the posts.
The Puzzle should be picked up quickly so we can move ahead.

If they want us to work quickly, they really should reply our emails. I asked Summer Court, should I just give the solved message to Far Dorcha or not and they haven't replied even though at the same time Brennan is chatting in twitter.
I'm just gonna go ahead and volunteer
as a tribute
as the one living in the dark courts.
And orange lily is njberry, right? She should get closer to the Far Dorcha.

Okay, I wasn't sure if you saw the message, but that's cool

Okay, so here are some towns south of Maastricht:
- Valkenburg
Notable because it has a destroyed castle, caves and underground grottos.
- Eijsden
Notable because name apparently comes from the German word for "aspen forest" and also has a castle (not destroyed).
- Visé
Notable because it's practically right next door to Maastricht, although technically in Belgium. The Albert Canal runs through it.
But I don't see how any of these connect to this game at all.
To be honest, I don't even understand why there's a need for us to research The Netherlands anyway. Is the Summer Queen planning a weekend retreat? Because the rest of this game has been extremely Scott-Irish based, minus the Grimm brothers who come from Germany...

oh dear summer court told me not to tell them the names of the chosen then i got this email
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it looks like you are holding things back from me..
you could not find the names of the chosen, but in the meantime they are there...
let me guess, their names are:
Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum,
Nightshade,
Azalea,
Gladiolus,
Silybum,
Iris
Plumeria
now tell me, dear orange lily.. what is it that you are not telling me?
give me one piece of information that I do not have as proof that I can trust you..
Steward
dont know how to reply to this one

Uhh.... how about you tell them that babies see upside-down for the first few days after they're born and then things get flipped? And that even now as an adult if you wear glasses that flip your vision upside-down your brain will make everything "right-side up" again in a couple days? I'd say that's a pretty good fact. ;p
I don't know if there's anything they don't know yet? They, presumably, have been told the translated cipher by Elethamei since that's what they asked for...

Lol, bluesylvia, that's actually quite interesting fact
I lied to Far Dorcha about the message, because Summer Court told me to do so. I told them that it's nothing and was probably planted to distract them. It seemed that they believed me. They thanked me and asked what can they do for return. I haven't replied yet.
Summer Court accepted me as the replacement and they're gonna send me purification instructions soon.
ETA: I noticed that the Far Dorcha started to use my floral name after Tenshi had given them the list. So they know I'm one the chosen ones and they act nice. I'm afraid, I'm very afraid

I got the purification instruction and oh my god, there's a lot of work.
Drust also had a message to the Mediators
Quote:
please provide the following message to the mediators, tell them that the city they have found would allow them to find which cypher they need to choose:
dg mjzttgm zss o xgeeoug oc xojujgce fzreg, efg foe tzecgm kc zy fgj pnzu sjzxdzjnmepgnzdmzcpnzuetzcmzcqzx
Tell them that the keyword is already known, and that the key is equivalent to the index of the story
That should help them further.

I'm still not sure what information to ask the winter court myself.
This week has rendered my brain in meh meh land. As to the being told not to tell the names, I never got that message. Then again, the last message I got from them was telling me to report in before I had done anything.
I don't know. Too many emails not enough centralized information.

The message to us Mediators translates as follows, using Gronsfeld (similar in name to the town of Gronsveld )
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Password: theriddle
Key: 22 (the Grimm index for "The Riddle" story)
we dropped off a message at margrets house, she has posted it on her blog fromworldsbelowdotblogspotdotcom
From there we go to Margret's new blog , which has a video of a scroll that was left for her.
Except the video is private so we can't actually watch it... She also has a blog entry complaining they she believes the Fey have been playing tricks on her.

The video works now. The first message is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Dear Court
Being perfect is as bad as being irrational. Please eliminate from existence what is odd and out. We will seek the freedom we need.
Drust"
I used my super editing skillz to put this crossword together, but I am too tired to look at it now, so I'm just gonna leave it here.
