 		[PHONECALL] From Wendy Way. She has a message from TM
& Trail to the Hatch Under the Nave (The In-Between)
So I'm on the phone this morning w/ a guy who wants to dump his 6 month old Dane, because his wife is pregnant (UGH…They are, of course, the only people ever to have had a baby and a dog at the same time), and I'm mad at this guy, not being particularly nice, and my cell rings. I was kind of rude when I first answered, because I just *knew* it was someone else wanting to dump another dog. (Sorry, Wendy!!!) I had totally given up on getting a phone call!


WW: Is this Lacey?
Me: Yes.
WW: This is Wendy Way, I'm a friend of Betty's?
Me: Hi, Wendy, what's going on? Is everything okay??
WW: Well, I'm good except I'm kind of freaked out.
Me: What happened?
WW: The Tall Man came by really early this morning, and looked like hell.
Me: You're kidding me.
WW: Yeah, he said to tell you that the S&D Nun had escaped the temple.
I also called Enaxor and told her, but he said, "call Lacey" and tell you, too.
I wrote this down, because it was so weird, I don't know what the hell any of this means, but here's what he said, he said to tell all you Sammeeeees " She is somewhere in the in-between,"
Is this making sense to you?
Me: Yes, im writing it down, though, hang on a second…Okay, keep going.
WW: Okay, he said to tell all the Sammeeeees "She is somewhere in the in-between, there is only one way to reach the in-between. Go to the long hallway to the sanctuary. You will find the way."
And then he just left.
Does that make any sense to you?
Me: Yeah, actually it does. Did he say anything about how to get in contact with him or where he was going, anything?
WW: No, it was the weirdest thing ever. It was really early here, you know…and it freaked me out, but that's all he said.
Me: Huh. Okay.
WW: So, I hope that helps.
Me: Yes, it does. Thanks for letting me know.
WW: Okay, well then..take care.
Me: Okay, Bye.
WW: Bye!


Phone #: 212.874.4712

Here's the strange part: I gave Happy my phone #. So how did Wendy get it? This must mean that Happy is at least in contact w/ Wendy, but she says she's staying with a friend of Mr. Gerold's. So does Mr. Gerold know Wendy, too, or did Happy just pass on the information? (Or does Mr. Gerold have access to some mysterious telephone book where all unlisted cell phones are listed? Dum, dum, dummmmm….)

 		The end of "the long hallway" trail lead to http://willyouroarpumpkin.blogspot.com
In the source code there, at the bottom of the page is:
Code:
"underthetable"
                    you must hush and look under the table to a hatch to the in-between. open a hatch to the in-between and call out to the dancing and the singing nun. she will come to you. do not worry, sammeeeees, mithras has given you the words you need to open that hatch.

 		The hush seems to indicate a hush.com email address. After a few tries, it seems that ahatchtotheinbetween is the email address we are searching for.

ETA: Thanks to nax for pointing out that we've got http://ahatchtotheinbetween.blogspot.com/, too.

There was no security question and no indication who sent it.

 		A little brainstorming in chat leads to a way to open the hatch:

 		To "hide" your posts on the page (cause you wouldn't want the Eidolon to "hear" you).

Compose your message then change the color to black (#00000).
Click on "post options" to change the date if you want to place it below the hatch.

 		Video
There's a video on the Hatch blogspot, below Driz & Kona's entries. It looks like The Nun, and she's saying "Ribbit" (it looks like?) but I'm at work so can't watch it or transcribe it. Someone go look - I'm dying of curiosity!! Smile

Edit (again): I can play it without sound right now... She's got some funny facial expressions going - winking one eye or the other, and raising her eyebrows. Which would be an awfully cool way of passing a code, in my opinion! Wink

 		I guess kinda like the hush, I wrote down the croak as dash and the ribbit as dot and got:

which when translated was:

 		I think there's more code in the S&D video - in the winks. She's winking in a pattern. Unless she's been known to have an eyetwitch in her messages (?), I think there's a second code to be deciphered.

Edit: Maybe I'm wrong. However, in case someone wants to take a look, here's the pattern:

Quote:
First repetition:
One blink (both eyes), both eyebrows raised. (Beginning of message?)
Left eye - Left eye
Right eye - Right eye
Right eye - Left eye

Second repetition:
One blink, both eyebrows
Left eye - Left eye
Right eye - Right eye
Left eye - Right eye

Third repetition:
One blink, both eyebrows
Left eye - Left eye
Right eye - Right eye
Right eye - Left eye

 		OK. Using that file that Driz found, I was able to reconstruct the image (attached). The name-code reads go to the door and say these words.

The file names of the first five rows read, minus the initial "slaythebull":
Code:
M  A  G
I  S  T
E  R  MU
N  D  IS
UM NE TU


Now, "Magister Mundi Sum" is an actual Latin phrase meaning (per Driz) I am the Master of the Universe. I don't know if the leftover Netu is the beginning of a new code, or part of the total phrase to be spoken, or what.

The last four rows are phrases. They read:
Code:
1  5  9
2  6  10
3  7  11
4  8  12

Where:
1 devitadecedere
2 efflare
3 morsimmatura
4 deexvitamigrare
5 exvitaabire
6 maturedecdere
7 praematura
8 devitaexire
9 animamedere
10 subitamorteextingui
11 exvitaexcedere
12 mortemoribe
