 		Wow, good thinking with xei. I searched for that too, but didn't find anything like that. The source for that page links to a geocities site that doesn't exist. This phrase also came up "angel of the iron book", which doesn't seem related. It might be a dead lead.

I thought of asking Grace, and did so but didn't think to ask him. Good idea. Smile Thanks! And thanks for the welcome. Smile

Been googling trying to find something about this show. I've come across two things of interest.


http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/CandleCove
Which has info on the characters in Candle Cove and explains some of the story.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

And
http://slenderman.realityboard.net/t41-candle-cove-tv-show
which is one of many links I've found of people talking about something being hidden in the Candle Cove youtube videos. Posting this one since this trail is part of the slenderman story and the board is a slenderman board.


Maybe I'm just posting the obvious, but I'm hoping it helps?

 		WAIT, Really? Candle Cove is SM mythos? Geez, if I knew that I could have helped more long ago. It was a part of Ichor Falls, created by Kris Straub.

It's a bit of an inside joke, claiming to see something in the CC videos, you'll see why.

oh. i shall explain!! =D

it's just substitution. the type that's 1 = a, 2 = b, etc.
however, this one is just done in reverse. 26 = a, 25 = b, etc. the dashes are just used as spaces between words in the riddle.

if it's correct though. i still don't have any confirmation. but i'm still really excited. =D

bahaha! Total blonde moment. I had the substitution thing, but I did it forward and was trying to cipher it through rotation. When I couldn't get it that way I went though other ciphers and codes including key codes since the first word was 3 letters and easily could have been a code with the letters being equal to XEI or NMD (no more distractions) or CGF (cats grin freely, something the misfits mentioned in a comment). I never thought to run it through backwards. >.<

 		Whoa, a lot has happened. Ehm, so I'm a bit confused and I'd like to keep things in order. Razz

The Jester has given us the first word for a cheat code. The word: " These . He also wrote "The ants go marchin one by one, hurrah, hurrah" on the envelope to Grace (Song title). What's that supposed to mean?

Grace's boss was dead, and the envelope there said: NO MORE DISTRACTIONS and had the new code APTDTU MKKF, which we don't quite know how to solve yet. (I also think it looks like some kind of caecar's shift, but ... oh well). Obviously the jester or the misfits killed her boss so that she can focus more on finding Derek, without having to worry about work.

Then there's the Mummer's Farce where we can ask questions and hopefully get some interesting answers. He/she is a servant of the puppet empress or the wooden girl.

Then we have the Vagabond, who seems to be under order by the puppet empress too.

Last we have Karen, who was found by putting the misspelled letter from a code togheter, and searching for a blog. We still don't know if she is important.

So I'm wondering what kind of 'act' we've got here. O.o Everyone seem to be following orders from the puppet empress, and the others are dolls in a play? Could we draw parallells to the post that the Vagabond made about CHARACTERS IN "THE DANCE OF FORTUNE".

I'm sorry if this is awfully stupid post, but I don't want to misunderstand anything or miss anything.

The vagabond says he played the role of Tartaglia, which was an actual character in the play according to google, but that it no longer applies. So I believe in short the answer to your question is yes about the characters in the play.

We also have the new clue decoded and figured out.

And we've found out that the show Candle Cove, a SM Mythos reference is playing part in here somewhere, though we don't exactly know how yet.

Edit to add: There's also the comment on Grace's newest blog made by the misfits that states "Run run run to the city of sin. There the Cats Grin Freely." Not too sure if it's a clue, but I know to look for things that seem out of place and it's odd to me that the first sentence was written with correct capitalization and the second sentence had "Cats", "Grin", and "Freely" all capitalized.

Very Cool Sha-Zoobie! Did you send Jester the actual riddle answer? It's a funny joke. Heading back to Sleepyville but am happy to post it here for you to send him.

 		The Jester didn't immediately reply back, so I sent him the answer in the same form he sent us the riddle. Trying something different.
