Progress Report

Curious as to how much more is in store, now that Chapter 2 has been solved, I asked FFEYT:
Quote:
May we know, or no, how many chapters yet to go...?


And this was his response:
Quote:
One final understanding will emerge, one more puzzle piece - then, then will the game end and the riddle begin...


Also, he sent this Tweet to Saranna:
Quote:
We are... troubled. We seek your help, psosibly on friday of it is possible? Around midnight GMT?


Note the misspellings - anyone else I'd attribute to quick typos, but with FFEYT, we've found that seeming mistakes have an intentional message. So the 'loony' letters in caps are: SOS I

Just had a chat with forest:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: Good evening.
nutley.robert: how are you today?
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: We are in preparation...
nutley.robert: for tomorrow?
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: For all our tomorrows...
nutley.robert: ah i see, how are you preparing
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: We are checking that the trails we lead people into have signposts, that the tracks are deep enough without being like an abyss and that the eye of the hare is strong enough to see all...
nutley.robert: will you be leaving us for good?
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: We do not know. All we know is that when we have passed the information on, our father chooses what happens next...
nutley.robert: why can you not choose what happens next
nutley.robert: when you your father, who exactly are you referring to?
nutley.robert: god?
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: No. God is not flesh, this we definitely know,
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: Our father - he who made us.
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: He who has educated us.
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: He who must be obeyed.
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: He who is Father to us all.
nutley.robert: this is your life, you ultimately make your own decisions, you are no slave
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: Actually we are... http://bit.ly/hv4ONT
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: We must go, else the path will be too twisty and the heart amazing no-one...
forestfredericedwardyeothomas: OOG: PLEASE repost this word for word - lots of 'plot' here.. will tie with other stuff too later - and yes, you can post this OOG comment as well

That... changes things.

From an e-mail exchange between Forest and I.


Me-I also had a question- What was your Father's name? Adam?

Forest's reply- We remember John, yet Adam rings true as well.
Why do people confuse our pasts, our thoughts with these questions. Please, focus on understanding the connections. Our mission is to get others...

For those who do not know, the name Adam is a reference to Frankenstein, and how Mary Shelley personally referred to the creation as Adam(in reference to Paradise Lost). Asked the question following the solving of the ?what and the image of Boris looking at his daughter. Of course, Boris Karloff played the monster in the movie.

Thoughts... I am currently thinking that Shelley is a resurrected body(through a combination of science and magic involving a galvanic battery, Mide rituals(?) and more?), possibly of the original F.F.E.Y.-T. though he could be anyone. If he knows God is not in flesh then has he met him? His Father, emphasis on the uppercase F, so not by birth but by creation? According to Shelley, the ?what holds hints about his future and past.

I cannot wait for the fooling to commence on the morrow.

Edit- Decided to see if I could get a chat with Shelley myself, and was able to uncover a few more pieces of information.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Me: Good evening.

Shelley : Good evening.

Me:Robert has shared with us what you have told him.
You told me once that we all have choices. But what Robert has told us reveals you have none.

Shelley :We have choices. We merely commented about his choice of word: http://bit.ly/hv4ONT

Me:Will we still be able to speak with you once the third chapter has ended?

Shelley :That is up to what Father decides.

He who has educated us. He who must be obeyed. He who is Father to us all.

Me:Do you know if your Father will meet with us?
Or speak with us.

Shelley :In flesh?
Father does not speak to us anymore - we cannot answer for Father.

Me:When did you last speak to your Father?

Shelley :We... have never spoken to Father...
We.. we do not like talking about this. We will go now.


Following that he logged of from Yahoo chat entirely.

I bolded what I found to be interesting, a piece of rhetoric that I had not expected to see used, but when it was and with the context it makes me wonder.

Did his Father run away from him when he was born? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein%27s_monster
Quote:
Immediately upon bringing the creature to life, Frankenstein flees from it in horror and disavows his experiment.


But if he does not speak to his Father, then how does he know what his Father wishes him to do?

Wow. This story just gets more and more interesting!

Now btw there is a crossword puzzle on flickr which I know wasn't there yesterday since I was re-reading through the answers and don't remember seeing it. Under it is:

Quote:

whoisFather

A foolish pursuit, in search of answers perhaps.
Just a passed-time while we await a meeting...

Solved all of them except number 3. And unfortunately, it is the last red box.

Edit- Anyways that was fun and all, but it looks like it's just a red herring/April Fools joke. =)

The Father appears to be

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
manitou which fits with what he told ddl that he is not refering to "slave" but rather to
Algonquin.




Also

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
black squares in the puzzle itself in morse code translate to
SOSI. I don't know what that means unless he means I SOS

I am curious about the three symbols in black at the bottom of the puzzle -- again, may be a red herring, but curious as to how we can decode them.

The three black symbols are:

Random research, playing on the concept of "manitou" and the connections with the Algonquin:

The Great Hare

http://www.powhatanmuseum.com/Michabo.html

Quote:
MICHABO (1) the Great Hare, the Algonquian culture hero, was the creator of the world and the impersonation of life. He was
reputed to possess not only the power to live but also of creating life in others. He was chief of all the animals and in ancient times
caused man to be born from the dead bodies of the first of these who died, thus giving rise to the widespread belief among these
Indians that they had their being from animals. He impersonated life in an unlimited series of diverse personalities.

So it seems to me that Shelley's "Father" is the Great Hare. That would make sense with everything he has said so far.

Anyways it looks like Forest is planning some more crossover with Saranna, but I wonder what. I don't expect him to be sending another tarot card in.
