Re: So confused. . .

I kinda think this is "pregame", setting the scene for us. Introducing us to the antagonist. Not sure who our hero is going to be (if Happy remains free of Eidolon then it's probably her). The new "jackels" are now the Dogs. Instead of Spoocheeeee, seems we have this nasty "Trinity".

Looks like there is an important date already - July 27th (three days before the buck moon). Probably coincides with Peep's garden party (see his blog).

Then there is the lunar eclipse an month later.

I've been lurking quietly because I'm so completely new to all of this. I doubt I'll be able to pop in much with useful information, but I think I can add a few things to what you've already got:

The Blue Moon for 2007 (only one this year, according to my calendar) was May 31. (A Blue Moon is simply the second full moon in one month. They don't happen often, usually only once a year, hence the term "Once in a blue moon.") Can't find any evidence of another one occurring at all this year.

If Lycanthropy becomes a theme (as it looks like it well might), here are the important Lunar Dates for June/July 2007:
Mercury enters retrograde (appears to be traveling backwards in the sky) on June 16, exits July 10
Litha (Summer Solstice--Longest day of the year) is June 21
There is a full moon on June 30 (also known as the 'Wishing Moon' or 'Midsummer Moon')
Full Moon July 29th (8:49 pm, EDT) ***note: This moon, in addition to being called the 'Buck Moon' is also known as the 'Rogue Moon.'

Also: Mithra is the creator in a pagan pre-christian cult, usually referred to as Mithraism. Born on Dec. 25, he is an ally of the Sun (god of life and light, aka 'the good guy') and is locked in eternal battle against Ahriman, (god of death and darkness). He is directed by the Sun to slay a bull and when the bull's blood is spilled, humans are formed.

Don't know if this is worthwhile info or not, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
(And although I have only a basic idea of what a trout is, feel free, although I don't particularly like fish. )

Hi, Lacey!

You're not friendofpeeps on LJ, are you?

I sort of called Friendofpeeps evil (seriously, I thought friendofpeeps was another Eidolon manifestation!!), but I may have screwed up if friendofpeeps is a player and was only trying to help. eep. If that's the case, I'm really sorry!!

Kona,
Being that you seem to be extremely well versed in the ongoings of the Sammeeeees, I was hoping to get some help. There is so much that happened in the first portion, It is overwhelming. I would like to try and get involved in part 2. I was hoping you could fill me i on where I should pick up in the threads, as well as any contacts that I should make via email/myspace. My email is Tchechefpc SPLAT hotmail dot com. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

A big SAMMEEEEE welcome to Lacey & EMTFIRE!

Yes, Happy's quick summary is great (the Cliffnotes). My SSF thread is a little more detailed (the full novel).

Love the extra information about the lunar cycles. The great thing about uF is the ability to share in the collective intelligence: Makes us all smarter as a group.

Please come into the #sammeeeees chat room if you get a chance. If you have irc, we're on the chat-solutions.org server. If you access via the java chat applet here on www.unfiction.com, just pick #sammeeeees as the entry room (or if you end up in #unfiction, just type /join #sammeeeees and you'll find us).

Glad to hear that Ben is out of the woods medically. And that Happy & Jayne got our warnings.

Is that latin or Catalan on MrAJ's site?
