Transcript of "Here she is!!!!!" video on YT
HappyRogers all alone

Quote:

Hi Mister Alan Johnson. It's me, Happy Rogers. Well, I've been in here.. um.. for 48 hours by myself.
And I haven't seen anybody and no one's brought me any food or anything. And I have a little bit of water left that Mister Abbott left for me.

um, I really don't like your friend Mr Abbott, Mr. Johnson.
he's a... creepy.
a, I'm kinda lonely without my friends here and.. a..I don't, you know, I hope you don't mind but.. um...Peeps gave me this a piece of paper and.. um..I like to read it when I'm here and feeling a little bit lonely.
So if you don't mind, Mister Alan Johnson, I'd just like to.. um.. read this.
(She looks down to read)
"You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow "

Thank you Mister Alan Johnson.
(She walks out of the shot. Then these words, white text on a black background, appear; as the Cyndi Lauper song, "True Colors" begins to play.)

Mister Abbott
will make sure
Happy Rogers
isn't lonely
tonight.....

Lyrics to True Colors:

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
and don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid let them show
your true colors
your true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

eta: On the playlist: "I am certain I will have that tin hat by the time the sun rises -- if not before!" The tags are: "will she break tonight?????"
edit2: to correct a misspelling in the lyrics.

Time to contact Jean Moulin on the Search for Piece #4

http://iseeyourtruecolors.blogspot.com/

This is a message from Tamara, Higg's friend who followed him to the cemetery that fateful day. Unfortunately, there is no video tape of the event (it was taken). But she was given this message:

Quote:

Mr. Paul Foucher (90) is the elder that has been responsible for Spoocheeeee piece four for the last 30 years. Mr. Paul Foucher is now senile and was recently moved to a full care facility outside of Chicago. Although estranged from her husband for fifty years, Mrs. Paul Foucher is the only living relative to Mr. Paul Foucher. Everything from Mr. Paul Foucher's estate was recently packed and shipped to Mrs. Paul Foucher at her home in London, England. Mrs. Paul Foucher is also 90 years old. She still has a very sound mind, unlike her husband, but she has not left her home in five years. She is fearful of any and all strangers. She has only two loves in her life. Mrs. Paul Foucher has never stopped loving her husband Paul and she has never stopped loving "the theatre". Mrs. Paul Foucher's favorite play is and always will be "Les Miserables". Also, do not jump too fast to contact her. Jean Moulin believes Mrs. Paul Foucher must be wooed. This is all that I know. Now it is time to go to Jean Moulin.

Running back to http://paulfoucher.blogspot.com/ we see an update.

Well I wrote to Jean and this is what I got back:

Quote:

Hello to you Dashcat!

I am the one and only Jean Moulin! Perhaps you have heard of me? There are many who tell the tales of Jean Moulin! Have you heard of me, Dashcat? Have you heard that I am young and handsome? What have you heard of me? I don't mind the details. Did they tell you that I am a revolutionary? Did they say I was a young and handsome and dashing revolutionary? Did they tell you that I am a legend? What makes a legend? Here I am! I am the one and the only Jean Moulin!

The One and Only
Jean Moulin

This is over the top. I'm sure there's a clue here. The One and Only Jean Moulin....he says this a lot.

Wrote to Jean, and asked him what he knew about Mrs. Paul Foucher (including whether her name was Cosette or not). I also asked him what his plan was.

Quote:

Hello to you Katya!

I am the one and the only Jean Moulin! Perhaps you have heard the tales about me? Perhaps they have told you that I am a young and handsome revolutionary? Perhaps they have told you that I am so brave that I will risk all to take down the land of Spoocheeeee? Have you ever met someone as brave as Jean Moulin? Do not worry! I will protect all of you as we charge forward and hunt down Spoocheeeee piece number four! I am not afraid of Paul Foucher! I am not afraid of Mrs. Paul Foucher! I am not afraid of Cosette or her little broom! Is Cosette a witch? Do not worry! I am the one and only Jean Moulin and I will not allow Cosette the witch to harm any Sammeeeee! We must be clever with Mrs. Paul Foucher! We must not frighten her! It is my plan to woo her! We shall woo her with her favorite song from her favorite musical! And I shall smile at her! Do you sing, Katya? I love to sing! I am handsome when I sing! My eyes twinkle and my teeth sparkle! Mrs. Paul Foucher has not been able to see her favorite musical in five years! We shall sing her favorite song to her five times! We shall woo this Mrs. Paul Foucher with this song! Can you find at least one or two or three Sammeeeees to sing to Mrs. Paul Foucher? She will love us for this and we can quickly gain her confidence! I must go and brush my hair! Have you heard about my hair? Do they say that it is beautiful? I do not mind hearing the details of what they say. I am the one and only Jean Moulin!

The One and Only
Jean Moulin

So...

anyone here know how to sing?

Another reply from Jean:

Quote:

Hello to you again Dashcat! I am still the one and only Jean Moulin! How clever are you to find the secret address of CosetteSPLATuk2.net! Do not write to this woman until we have her in the palm of our hands! We shall woo her with our voices! We shall make her weep for us! We shall sing out for freedom! Have you heard that I am also clever? Are you handsome as well? I am a clever and handsome revolutionary! Together we will take on the evil land of Spoocheeeee and save the world! They will make statues dedicated to our heroics! If you have the time, I would begin to choose a pose for your statue! I want to be seated on a horse! The wind will blow at my handsome hair! My teeth will sparkle! Do you want a horse for your statue? We could have our horses side by side! Should we carry swords for our statue, Dashcat? Write to me and tell me what you plan!

I am the One and Only

Jean Moulin

Jean,
We are ready to seek the next Spoocheeeee disc. I know that you know
about Mrs Paul Foucher. Before the Five were taken, you were helping
Higgs find the clues. I'm here to follow that trail with you.
Thanks,
Heather

Hello to you Heather! I am the one and only Jean Moulin! You are a friend of Higgs? I too am a friend of Higgs! Does Higgs tell you that I am handsome and clever and young? Higgs loves to tell the tales of my heroics! What does he say about me? I do not mind the details! Higgs too is a brave and handsome man! Higgs is also clever! Are you clever as well? You would like to know more about Mrs. Paul Foucher? I know more about Mrs Paul Foucher! She is a sad and lonely woman. Mr. Paul Foucher left her years ago for his young and beautiful assistant. Mr. Paul Foucher never divorced Mrs. Paul Foucher. He led her to believe that he might someday return. He never did! She has not seen his face for fifty years! She is heartbroken! She has been heartbroken for fifty years! We will unbreak Mrs. Paul Foucher's heart and save the world! They will build statues for us! Dashcat and I will be mounted on horses! If I were you, Heather, I would begin to think about your statue pose!

I am the One and the Only

Here's my mail from the "one and only".

Quote:

Enaxor! Do you know who I am? I am the one and the only Jean Moulin! Have you heard the tales of my heroics? Did they tell you that I am brave? Did they tell you that I am handsome and young and brave? You can tell me what they say! I do not mind hearing the tales of Jean Moulin! You too found the secret message! Are you handsome as well as clever? Do you ride horses? Dashcat and I will be posing for our statues on horses! You may join us! The three of us on horseback with swords pointed to the sky! We will live forever as heroes! Horses are handsome! We will look even more handsome on our horses! But before we pose for our statues, we will contact Mrs. Paul Foucher! Yes! She must be handled with tender loving care. She is older and heartbroken by her husband, Mr. Paul Foucher! I don't want to hurt her anymore than that man already has! We will woo her with our song! We will heal her broken soul! Mrs. Paul Foucher will be a hero with us! She will save the world! I wonder what pose she would like for her statue? We will make a presentation for Mrs. Paul Foucher! She has not been to the theatre in five years! We will bring the theatre and her favorite song "I dreamed a dream" to her!

I am the One and the Only

Jean Moulin

Song from Les Miserables

"I Dreamed a Dream" seems to be the song of choice. That link gives the words along with the singing. Red is rehearsing like mad. No one knows how we are suppose to put this all together, but I suppose Jean Moulin will let us know (in between telling us all how great he is.... Laughing

)

Ok... im a be practicing all day, I'll record a sound file too and we can work out later what needs to be done.

Lets just hope its not one of these "lets get them all on a conference call and have them all sing the song over the phone"....

Now THAT would be bad.

Quote:

I SEE YOUR TRUE COLORS
Show me a smile then, Don't be unhappy, can't remember When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there

My name is Tamara. I'd rather not give my last name to you or anyone else who may be reading this. I am posting this as a record of what I have learned about the "land of Spoocheeeee" and because I was asked to do this by my friend.

A few months ago a friend of mine contacted me about a "game" he was playing. He went on to explain that the "game" that he was playing was called an "alternate reality game". The concept was interesting but it sounded a little far out for my tastes. This friend then told me that this "alternate reality game" had taken a strange turn. I asked him to elaborate. He insisted that we meet in person to talk about it.

About a week later, we met at "My Father's Office" for a drink. My friend attempted to explain the situation to me. He told me a tale that would make most anyone laugh. He went on and on about this "game" character-friend "Peeps" who was on the run from the evil land of "Spoocheeeee". "Spoocheeeee" is a secret world government slash evil puppet master. I nodded my head and listened, but inside I was thinking, "He's CRAZY. My poor sweet friend is CRAZY." This friend had even stopped using his real name. His new name was "Higgs". "Higgs" gave me as many details as he had about this evil land of Spoocheeeee. Most of his details revolved around the evil leader of this "Spoocheeeee", named Mr. Alan Johnson, and his pursuit of Peeps. Again I listened and nodded. Higgs then asked if I would do a story and expose "Spoocheeeee". I immediately laughed at him. He got really angry with me. He yelled something like, "They are responsible for all the evil in our world!" The entire bar stopped and started to laugh at Higgs too. He stormed out of the bar and I did not hear from him again until the end of September.

Higgs called me early one morning and whispered into my phone, "Please meet me at My Father's Office tonight at 6:30." We met. He was a different person. He was incredibly nervous (my friend is usually easy going) and told me that he had information that could save the world. He said that his friend, Barney, had discovered that Spoocheeeee's ceramic disc (which gives Spoocheeeee all the power) was vulnerable. Higgs then told me that this disc had been broken into 5 pieces. The 5 pieces were given to old Spoocheeeee elders for safe keeping. Higgs said he was close to discovering who had piece number 4. He said he wanted to give me the trail but I said, "No." I told him I thought he was losing it. Then Higgs got all teary and asked if I would follow him on a "meet-up" he was going to on October 5th. He said he wanted me to see what this was all about. He also thought I might give him some protection. I still thought Higgs was nuts but I agreed to go to the "meet-up".

On October 5th I met Higgs at the Woodlawn Cemetery with a Cameraman. I had decided to put together a story about these Alternate Reality Games and I needed some B roll. We did a great interview with Higgs about his "game" friends and the "Sammeeeees". Higgs was wonderful on camera. As the "meet-up" time got closer, Higgs was worried about us coming into the cemetery with him and asked if we could watch from outside. We agreed and positioned ourselves to capture the "meet-up" on video. Higgs handed me a envelope and said, "Please hide this right now and if anything were to ever happen to me please post this as a blogspot blog as I see your true colors." I took the envelope and stuck into my back pocket. (Thinking I would "hide it" later.) Higgs entered the cemetery and approached a group of people. There was a man in his 40's with dark hair, a middle-aged woman around 40 wearing aluminum foil on her head, a boy around 13 with blonde hair, and a young woman in her 20's. They seemed to be friends. Higgs spoke with them for a moment and then they all turned and waved to our camera. That is when I noticed a white van and some "gardeners" or "cemetery workers" watching the five. I don't really know what happened next but I was hit over the head and so was my Cameraman. When we came to, we were both stretched out in front of two graves and Higgs and the others were gone. The camera was gone too.

I was frightened but I honestly didn't know what to do. I could not go to the police about some evil land of Spoocheeeee. I thought maybe the person behind the "game" could be insane or something along those lines. I phoned the police and spoke to them about Alternate Reality Games. They didn't seem to know about them and quickly gave me the feeling that I was a nut job. I hung up and remembered the envelope that Higgs gave to me. I checked my back pocket and it was there! The thugs that knocked us out must have been so concerned about getting the camera that they didn't bother to search me! So, I opened the envelope and found the following note.

Mr. Paul Foucher (90) is the elder that has been responsible for Spoocheeeee piece four for the last 30 years. Mr. Paul Foucher is now senile and was recently moved to a full care facility outside of Chicago. Although estranged from her husband for fifty years, Mrs. Paul Foucher is the only living relative to Mr. Paul Foucher. Everything from Mr. Paul Foucher's estate was recently packed and shipped to Mrs. Paul Foucher at her home in London, England. Mrs. Paul Foucher is also 90 years old. She still has a very sound mind, unlike her husband, but she has not left her home in five years. She is fearful of any and all strangers. She has only two loves in her life. Mrs. Paul Foucher has never stopped loving her husband Paul and she has never stopped loving "the theatre". Mrs. Paul Foucher's favorite play is and always will be "Les Miserables". Also, do not jump too fast to contact her. Jean Moulin believes Mrs. Paul Foucher must be wooed. This is all that I know. Now it is time to go to Jean Moulin.

I have no idea if any of this is true but I have not seen "Higgs" in over a month. I hope he's alright. I hope this is just a crazy game that's gone a little over the top.

I just recieved this from Jean. It doesn't advance the story but it does make me look forward to seeing my statue:

Quote:

Hello to you Dashcat! Yes. Yes. I can see this statue before my eyes! Yes! Your horse will be most heroic! And your sword shall be glimmering in the late day light! You will look daring and beyond beautiful! Your cape, you should wear a cape, will blow in the wind along with your hair! Yes! And I will be at your side! I will be captivatingly handsome and brave! My smile will be bright and daring! People passing by will say, "There is the One and the Only Jean Moulin and his good friend, the Daring and Dazzling Dashcat! How wonderful are they?! (and they will touch our feet for good luck) These two terribly good looking souls saved the world from Spoocheeeee!" We must stay humble, Daring and Dazzling Dashcat. The world is looking our way.

I am the One and the Only
