 		 The trail to the 4th piece
- Package from Peeps to Katya
I received a Peeps package this evening, but it was not in regards to the current trail.

Opening it up I found a CD, a folded piece of paper and a large package that contained Peeps' shirt. I might have missed the third clue had I not looked closely at the bottom of the envelope, because the white paper almost covered up the pink paper.

To my surprise, it read

"The elder we now seek is known as Paul Foucher"

?!!?

We haven't even moved on from Elbert Benjamine yet. Methinks Peeps is getting a little jumpy.

The folded up page contained what I thought was a poem, and the CD was a song that I recognized.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A quick check on wikipedia reveals the Paul Foucher was the brother-in-law of Victor Hugo. The song is "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables What I thought was a poem was actually the lyrics to the "Dream" song, and Peeps included a message. "Jean Moulin will be in touch with further instructions.

The CD case also included four lines from the song "Stars," also from Les Mis.

And how does Paul Foucher and Victor Hugo tie into the entire penname motif we have going on? http://www.theatrehistory.com/french/hugo008.html Victor used Paul's name once to produce a play. Weak, but there you go.

Where does this lead: dante found http://paulfoucher.blogspot.com but nothing is there currently. Guess we'll have to sit on this one until Jean contacts us with more information


I've loaded the pictures over to my Flickr site.

And sorry for the quality of the photos. Crappy camera.

And I end with a song for you. Very Happy Enjoy.

I was waiting until I heard back from Jean Moulin before posting, but it seems to be taking some time. Anyways if you look at the picture above, you'll notice the arrow pointing a Cosette, but if you look closely you'll see an @ behind her, and uk2.net written in the steps. I'm waiting to hear back from JM before mailing it.

 		I'm posting my latest email from JM here, since this is the trail to piece 4.
I told JM that I'd heard of him through Peeps and about his rescue of the Tall Man. Here JM gives us some info on how we're to present Le Mis to Cosette.

Quote:
Hello to you Enaxor! Of course you have heard the tales of Jean Moulin! You must be pleased to finally meet me, the legend! Ah yes! I remember the rescue of the Tall Man very well! I was dazzling! I never look better than when I am rushing into a dangerous situation with my hair blown back and my teeth sparkling in the sunlight! I would take your breath away! I must admit I even take away my own breath! To be me, Jean Moulin, is wonderful! Every day I stare into my mirror and say, "Hello to you, the One and Only Jean Moulin! You are a lucky young man to be so handsome and daring!" And then I smile and wink!

We must prepare to woo our Mrs Paul Foucher! I will make a place for us to present to Mrs. Paul Foucher. I will prepare my part today and put something up tomorrow that will set us off into the right direction. I will video my presentation. It will set the mood to woo. It will be sad but handsome! The others who will step forward for this challenge can make a video of themselves or someone else singing this song and if they do not have the video camera, we can make a beautiful sounding song on this place called gabfest. I can take their voice from this gabfest and make it a part of our magnificent presentation to Mrs. Paul Foucher. SHE WILL LOVE AGAIN! WE WILL SHOW HER THE WAY! When the other woo-ers are ready, please send them to me!

I am the One and the Only
Jean Moulin

 		Well, last night I jumped the gun and sent a small note to CosetteSPLATuk2.net, believing it would lead us to the real Jean Moulin and not directly to Mrs. Foucher. Unfortunately Jean later specifically told us that the Cosette address was Mrs. Foucher's. I recieved a reply from Mrs. Foucher and thankfully I don't seem to have screwed anything up. I sent this:

Quote:
Dear Cosette,

I am hoping you can help us. We were sent here by a friend. Jean Moulin. I will wait to hear from you.

Dashcat


And I just recieved this:

Quote:
My dear, I am afraid you must be seeking another. My email address is Cosette, but my first name is Helen. I hope that you find your friend named Cosette. It is an unusual name. Did you know that Cosette is the name of the young woman in Victor Hugo's masterpiece, Les Miserables. Have you read this tale? It is also a magical musical for the theatre. If you live in London, you may still attend this staged musical. I promise it will touch you. I would give the world to see this musical once more.

Best wishes,

Mrs. Paul Foucher

Laughing Rolling Eyes Laughing Ah, a "legend in his own mind" I love this guy's moxie and self esteem! Put him & Higgs (when he is feeling good) in the same room at the same time and something might explode! Wink

Woot! Can't wait to see what he looks like. Wink

So, video is not required, gabfest works! But, alas, I tried singing along to the YouTube this morning - trust me, my voice will scare her away so I'm not going to try it. I can't wait to see/hear the results!

 		I got my package from Peeps. Very Happy But it's exactly the same thing that Katya already got, so nothing new to find. Sad

 		I sent an email to Jean Moulin today apologising for not following instructions:

Quote:
Dear Jean,

The statues sound wonderful! I hope you will still want me to have one when you know what I have done. Last night in my excitement and enthusiasm I sent a brief note to Cosette. I was hoping, after finding out I shouldn't have done that, that I had caused no damage to our plan.


I sent him the message I sent Cosette and her reply. I finally got this response:

Quote:
Hello to you Dashcat! I am the One and the Only Jean Moulin! Now we know where the "Dash" comes from! Eh? Do not worry your beautiful face about this! I do not worry. It is not good for my handsome face! Look at you! "I will wait to hear from you." Already you make her so important to our world! Perhaps she is not as frightened as we have been told she is! Perhaps she is more like a jumpy nervous nell! How do you picture Mrs. Paul Foucher? I see her as a most beautiful older woman! We will make her brave again! You have already begun to woo her! You see the way you are so polite? This woman will respect a good person such as you! This can only be good for us! You have given us a glimpse into her world! You are the One and Only dashing Dashcat! And I am still the One and Only Jean Moulin! Tomorrow I will present to you our plan! This will be a way to the heart of Mrs. Paul Foucher! We shall lead the way! You and I and Enaxor! All three of us on our horses! Can you see it! Our hair looks very beautiful in the sunlight!
I am the One and the Only
Jean Moulin

Hey, what happened to me, I was suppose to be part of this statue. The three of us on horseback raising our swords. The "Three Sammeteeeeers".

He DOES look like Antonio Banderas and the brain injury is just temporary.

Enaxor! It is me, Jean Moulin! Tada! I have combed my hair! And I now have a blogger account for us! username is xxxxxxxx and the password is xxxxxxxxx! I would suggest we only share this with those that should like to post onto it! I must tell you that there are some out there that might play around with our presentation before Mrs. Paul Foucher can see it. You can pass this on to the singing Sammeeeees or you can send them to me! I promise to be handsome when I give them the information! The address is sammeeeeesgivelovetoyou.blogspot.com

*edit - When I posted the email I was in the middle of dinner and didn't realize there was a username and password included. I've edited it out, although it appears the PMs have changed it anyway. So for anyone who has a video for Mrs. Paul Foucher, email Jean Moulin with the link and he will post it.

 		I sent another email to Mrs. Foucher since no one yelled at me for the last note I sent.

Quote:
Dear Mrs. Foucher,

I apologize for disturbing you.

I have read the tale Les Miserables but unfortunately I have never seen the theatrical production. I am only familiar with one song from the play and I find that song to be so very sad. Recently I have met quite a few people who have seen the play and their enthusiasm and love for the play have made me determined to see it someday. Unfortunately I do not live in London.

I love the name Cosette. I have a friend named Cosette who I have not seen in sometime. Her mother loved the play so much she named her daughter Cosette. I was truly hoping this was her address.

Mrs. Foucher, I sincerely hope you will be able to see the play again someday. And again, I apologize for disturbing you.

Warmest Regards,

Dashcat




I just got this from her. She's a very dear sweet lady:

Quote:
My dear, you need not apologize. It is nice to have someone as sweet as you write to me, even if it is a mistaken identity. I too have read the tale written by Victor Hugo many times. What a story that is!

I wish I could fly you to London tonight to see the musical version. It would change you forever. Which song is it that you know? Might it be "I dreamed a dream"? This happens to be my favorite song. It has been years since I have heard this song. You are so kind to wish for me to see Les Miserables again. I do not believe this will ever happen.

I hope you find your friend. I hope life is always good to you, Dashcat.

Best wishes,

Mrs. Paul Foucher

Hello to you the One and only Jean Moulin.
I have heard so many wonderful things about you from my Sammeeeee friends.
I was a little nervous about contacting you at first, I knew you had so many lovely people to email I did not want to overwhelm you with stuff.
However at the request of my dearest dearest peeps, I have contacted you regarding our Sammeeeee friend betty.

It seems she is having a very conflicting time at the moment.

While in new york, she spent some time with the evil Dr Abbott and has come out very changed.
She begin smoking obsessively, using a lot of french, cussing (in french) a lot, and sounding all together different.
She has been blacking out in lots of strange locations, which we have later discovered has been her attempting to retrieve the spoocheeeee pieces before us.
She keeps having flashbacks which sound like the video "brainwashing" which Dr Abbott is well known for.
It is all very distressing.

Origionally I thought I was helping her by suggesting she stop smoking those strange cigarettes.
She promises she is trying, but it only seems to be making her flashbacks and visions worse, I really dont know at this point if I have helped her or made matters worse for her by suggesting this.

Her recent message to me will show you her erraticness:

sallyyyyy, i just came to! merde! i have been blacked out since yesterday afternoon! the last thing i remember doing was walking down main street! i keep having flashes of different stores along main street! it is like this odd movie flashing on a loop in my head! again i flash on peets then la vecchia then eyes on main then angles gallery then schatzi's then edgemar then mac 911 then eyes on main (again) then edgemar (again) then tao healing center then mac 911 (again) then edgmar (again)! i promise i haven't had a cigarette but the black outs are getting worse and when i try to remember what happened this flashing movie loop starts again! there must be something that they did to me in that red room! what is happening to me!? merde! please can you tell peeps i need to see him! someone must help me! merde! merde! merde!
betty


The one thing we did uncover from this message, thanks to the awesome Exanor who I believe you have already had the pleasure of speaking with, there is a hidden message should you take the first letter of each place name she mentions.
It spells out "please meet me".

Now we dont know if this is a request to us sammeeeeees for help, or a request for peeps, but she already makes a request for peeps to meet her.

It is all so confusing, but peeps assures me you are a master at these Dr Abbott mind-tricks and may be able to offer suggestions on how I may assist betty in getting over this.
I eagerly await your response Mr Jean Moulin, in the meantime I must go warm up my singing voice and practise before I record my piece to assist in woo-ing Mrs Paul Foucher.

<hugz>
Sallyyyyy


Quote:

Hello to you Sallyyyyy! You are right when you say I am the One and the Only Jean Moulin! I am! Tada! You have heard many things about me? This is always lovely to hear! Did they talk about my handsome hair? Did they talk about my handsome eyes? You must never be afraid to tell me what they say. I love to know how much I am admired! After all, I am the One and the Only Jean Moulin! You too are a beautiful creature! Eh? I love this in women! The women in our world are so beautiful it makes me full to my heart with pride! And you, Sallyyyyy, are so caring for our Betty! This is also beautiful! I too am beautiful to care for my loved ones. It is my way.

Mister Abbott is not a handsome or caring man! He is a monster! I weep for Betty! Her message to you makes me curious. This sounds so familiar to me! Ah! A wind just blew through my hair! Never has my hair looked so handsome! Back to Betty! Do we know if Mister Abbott injected anything into our Betty? If this is so, than we must stay away. Betty is no more than a puppet for Mister Abbott right now. The code is the one matter that has me thinking, "Hmmm?" Perhaps our Betty is fighting the control of Mister Abbott? His control must be linked to her smoking of the cigarettes. And when you had her stop, he lost some of this control! And now Betty is short circuiting! Her flashes, they sound to me like they may come from her subconscious mind! Does this make some sense, Sallyyyyy? Tada! She is reaching out to you! But we must be careful, Mister Abbott still has most of the control! Our plan is this: We will let our Betty tell us as much as she can with her flashes and then we shall set a trap! I am never more brave or handsome than when I set a trap! We shall send Betty's subconscious a message too. We will agree to meet with her but place it near somewhere that we can see her on a camera! (The trap is we do not go to this place!) Tada! If she comes and we see she is alone then we know we can meet her safely. If someone else comes than we learn that she is still a Spoocheeeee puppet. How does this sound to you, beautiful Sally?
Who am I?
I am the One and the Only
Jean Moulin


Quote:

My dear Jean Moulin, not only are you THE one and only, you are also magnificent.
But then I have a feeling you already knew that!

Unfortunately yes, betty has shared with me that she was injected by something from Dr Abbott.
I am so nervous that she will be hurt by this short circuiting.
I agree with the setting a trap thing, and we know of the perfect place, it is on the pier in Santa Monica. Mr Timothy Mann has already met with one of our sammeeeees there before and it has a webcam set up so that we can see the area.
I think this is exactly the place we may want to send Betty.

I will discuss it with the other sammeeeees so we can come up with the secret message to send to her and test this out.

Also my dearest Jean Moulin, I have made an attempt to assist you with the woo-ing of Mrs Paul Foucher.
I have recorded something on gabcast for you, although I am embarrased at my lack of singing ability, and its poor quality.
I did to my best to make a valiant effort for the sammeeeees.

here is the link:
http://www.gabcast.com/index.php?a=episodes&id=4821


I also so your lovely little video Mr Jean moulin, you truly are a cutie Wink
Take care my friend
<hugz>

Sallyyyyy



Quote:
Hello to you my beautiful friend, Sallyyyyy!

You are remarkable to make this recording for Mrs. Paul Foucher! I LOVE it! It has the heart and the love that we need to share! Your voice... it sounds like love! Thank you for doing this! I hope we can send our love songs to woo her later tonight. We just need a few more singers! Are they out there? Eh? Do not be shy!

Back to our Sammeeeee friend, Betty. May I, Jean Moulin, suggest this webcam
http://www.westland.net/beachcam/ it has a somewhat closer picture for us to see who is who. It is Venice but not too far from this Main Street that Betty lurks along. Let me know what you Sammeeeees decide to do. I will help in any way I can! I am not only handsome but I can be very helpful! I am smiling at you and now I just winked!

I hope your night is full of beauty and love!

I am the One and the Only
Jean Moulin
