 		I have received the painting, it's proudly displayed on the wall above my monitor. It's an impressive, imposing piece and I suspect it must look pretty crazy unless you have spent weeks chasing Shelley around.

The clock face looks normal and I can't see anything "puzzling" on it apart from the sections for 8 minutes and 31 minutes are coloured in.

Anyone picked anything up since Shelley went away?

Yeah. You might get some weird looks from people when they see it.

I've heard nothing from Shelley since he told us(in and out of character) that he would see us soon. He never even answered my question to the PM asking for a more explicit answer than "soon".

I haven't tried to contact him, and was wondering if he was waiting for you to get the painting before he started things up again.

You don't think that... maybe the 8 minute's is the hour hand pointing at 1. Which would make the time... 1:31? It would fit. Very Happy
Maybe.

 		Hooray!

This looks like a substitution cipher. I just can't decide which order to start with. :)

 		Huzzah!

And to think this morning I was going to come here and post my theory that this might start up again on the solstice, due to the references to it in the ritual.

 		In case anyone did not get it, the timing of the post and the word 'Neptune' are both references to D-Day.

 		Thanks for explaining.

What about this one though?

For those who wait like we do, tell us: why do Clanbrassill and Fox mark tomorrow's date so well?The numbers strike us hard and true-do you?


I guess if it's another WWII reference it could be this:

1940 – World War II: Paris falls under German occupation, and Allied forces retreat.

Forest was heavily involved over in occupied France during the war, right? Not sure about the Clanbrassill and Fox part though.

 		Okay, so, Clanbrassill is either a peerage, the people who held the peerage/title, or a street. I therefore anticipate that 'Clanbrassill and Fox' are these ones:

http://books.google.com/books?id=lEqyiXBILsYC&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46&dq=clanbrassill+and+fox&source=bl&ots=3ZRArioUWt&sig=RMcUtJb0EgxIHNn0AJjQ6zSOFUQ&hl=en&ei=oKz2TbbMMIycgQf9so23Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=clanbrassill%20and%20fox&f=false

But so far I have no clue why this date. Or which date. I've been trying to decide if he means June 14 or June 15. Because he's English, and I'm American.

EDIT: WARNING, John Wilmot is not safe for work or small children.

 		I was thinking the same think about Clanbrassill. And about whether Shelley is talking about the 14 or the 15.

Confirmation though-

Thank you - while we wait - look for today [the 14h] and its ripples through time.... and space... Find C and the Fox, find Wilmot's town...


Going off to look for Wilmot's town now. Assuming that Wilmot is the poet from the link.

Found some more WWII stuff when looking into Ditchley, that place Wilmot was born.

Wikipedia wrote:
In June 1994, US Secretary of State Warren Christopher and British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd unveiled a bronze bust of Churchill, which stands in a prominent position to highlight the role that Ditchley Park played during a critical phase of the Second World War.

 		The numbers that Shelley is referring to are the Zip Code of Rochester, New York(14624) and it's population in 2009- 42,461.

http://www.city-data.com/zips/14624.html

Anyways, how shall we bring others into this? Hopefully, some who have been here before will speak up again...

 		Speaking up
I am present... in fact, never gave up hoping that Chapter 2 would indeed materialize after the long silence.

Awesome to see the NY reference... daring to hope that some of the action... or references at least... will indeed 'cross the pond'...
