Good Fences → Posts

  • On page 11, there is a link for Guy GoodFindz' email.
  • Clicking on the link allows us to sign up for his e-newzletter.
  • Try to get past all the z's in place of s's while reading. Uber annoying, I know.

 

Doc Trailer

  • Why did Ines include all the footage of all arguing with Celestine like that? Not a good look...
  • At the end of the documentary, Celestine is seen standing in front of a shrine with the symbol of Baron Samedi (from the storybook).

Goals

Where is Celestine's spare studio key located?

Subject Line: STUDIO

What is Celestine's laptop password?

Subject Line: DECODED

  • The sticky note says connect the dots... The only dots to appear so far are in the storybook.

    • We have ourselves a book cipher.

  • The letters are acronyms relating to the story titles. The numbers refer to the words in the italicized portions of the stories.

    • MP 10 = Mère Petitpas and Her Violet Absinthe → Purple
    • GG 2 = Graveyard Guardians / second word → Gray
    • GVQ 16 = Grave of the Voodoo Queen → Crimson
    • PBL 14 = The Pirage Brothers Lafitte and the Baratarians → Turquoise

  • The note says to connect purple dots to gray dots and crimson dots to turquoise dots.

    • On page 7, connecting crimson to turquoise = MBI
    • On page 9, connecting purple to gray = ZO
