April Fool

I get most of my news from the BBC World Service, the mouthpiece of the machine, and Occasionally, if you listen long enough, you can hear code coming down the clax. Now first up you need to get a handle on just how much vast the bbc's reach is. You can pick it up anywhere on the planet with a simple radio and day or night everyone in the world can hear the news from blighty. Oh course, they need to be careful. They have to appear neutral in all things, even if they clearly support one party over another. but that's not hard when you control the narrative, but altering the truth too much leaves scars. Their power is such that they  can pass whatever they call truth around the globe, on the hour every hour. Publicising important events, Advertising whatever angle they desire. They offer you the world in their oyster and whilst the BBC doesn't Do adverts, per se, subliminal messaging that goes under the radar is available. Listen very carefully to these stories. Listen to how certain words are given extra stress and , even if the newsreader stumbles on an unfamiliar word or difficult to say name, they will always correct themselves and re-read Exactly what has been put before them.However, time is precious and six minutes (2x3) for cramming in  All the really important news means some things, needs must, do not make the cut. Sometimes something like an earthquake needs half a show to itself, that means that all the other news for the week has got shunted down the pecking order. What with the world going mad in a myriad ways these days,  narrowing down this enormous field to the lucky twelve top stories (2x6) is why we need editors to select between what is important and what is necessary. 
Now the final slot of the news is usually kept apart from the rest and is reserved for either a famous obituary , a scientific discovery or more often than not a dead donkey story that might make you smile. Tonight, on all fools eve, in the UK, we sort of got both. The powers that be decided that there wasn't enough important news today and that instead what their global audience of eager ears really needed to know tonight was that some Cinderella got hit by a bus and has four days to live. We we're then given an article that I call 'out of the box'  One with a less important shelf life that could be bought out on a slow day when needed. Tonight the tale of how a fifty year old camera in loch Ness has been discovered and developed, but that there is (deep breath, slow voice) *no sign of Nessie*
That's the sort of thing that caught my ear as being a code story. It has the capacity to convey an abstract equation of key words all around the globe. I'm talking spies here folk with a book of code cracks that allows them all to translate obscure information that it is important for you to receive. 

4 days warning. Something important is going to happen. Hit by a bus important. That means it will come out of the blue.
The Nessie message suggests an undercover operation that nobody saw and that it's still All Quiet on the Western Front.
I wonder what it could be? 
My money is on another false flag Saturday, and failing that, Beauport e.w.

Pub Crawl

PubCrawl The Rising Sun. On the wall in Pat’s office there must be a map of the Waystone Inn since all of the individual mentions of the pubs layout correlate perfectly with each other and thus to this master architects blueprint. It is a device used by the writer so that he doesn’t get confused one day and accidently have someone go through a door that isn’t there or have the sun rising in the West. The Sun of Temerant rises in the East, just like in our world, although that was a very small crumb to finally track down in a very big book. But find it I did and that gives us a place to start our pub crawl and to see if we cannot recreate Pat’s clever map for ourselves. Long after I had first fallen down the rabbit hole, and my re-reads were somewhere in double figures, I started to collect notes for easy reference, I can barely make sense of my own scrawl now but they aren’t that important really once you learn your way around. It was during one of these re-reads that I jotted down all...

Tripod

Tripod Lady Lackless Hat Proving that last bit might be a little bit tricky, but I’ve had worse. It all comes down to triangles. Back when I was new at this game the very first ‘bell ringing, penny dropping moment was when I thought about Kvothe’s mum, who we are specifically told was once a noble woman. That one clue to the past fits very nicely in many small ways elsewhere in the text, such as among her own skills is a glimpse of a noblewoman’s education, knowing all about court etiquette and protocol in high circles. She also has a good ear for classical languages and is an accoplished writer of lyrics. So we have a woman od noble birth who was suduced by cords of chorded song, fell in love, and ran away with, an Edema Ruh trouper. By an amazing coincidence, this exact same thing also happened to the previous Lackless heir who we discover was called Netalia, who also ran away with the travelling ravel. Could it be possible that Netalia had simply changed her nam...

Act 1 Scene 1

It wasn't much of a church to begin with, but then Newarre wasn't much of a town. It didn't take long to burn down and It was already a lost cause before the first of the townsfolk arrived on the scene "It were Blue, I tell you." Insisted Old Cob, " "Blue! and it lit up the sky like a beacon for miles around. Everyone must have seen it! I saw it meself with my own eyes from Shep's front porch. ." "Now Really, Cob" said Hap shovelling another shovelfful of dirt towards the edge of the flames, "This hain't a time to be spinning yarn. 'how much did you drink at the wake last night? "  "You tell him Jake, tell him what we saw."  Jake looked uncomfortable. Staring daggers at his friend. "Aye, " Jake admitted "it did look a bit Blue at first, but after that lightning struck it were just normal fire again." "After? I thought it were the lightning what started it" "Well I only saw ...
