I'm going to have to put them all together and re-read it a few times. Then I'll probably sacrifice a goat or something and read the entrails, that might help.

what's a goat done to upset you ?

So, no one said "AHA!" then?

Here are some of my closely observed observations after re-reading the entire farking mess!! If any of these inspire you to the correct answer (or some semblance thereof) please shriek "Eureka" loud enough for me to hear!! Remember - there are multiple prizes - we could both win!! Or go down in embarrassed flames of shame!

OK?

1. Threads were only found on: zelda, neko, MTH, Ravenne, Veren, Patricia, and Nate. They began as "twine" and then became blue string.
AND - only blue threads were found, although pshrynk's coat was yellow & blue. Who has the yellow threads?

2. Some terms were conspicuously capitalized, leading one to wonder if the following letters can be rearranged to spell anything in any language:
MS K Q ST RT M FR YT HTC MTH PDF WDE

3. Rhymes: Netseeker confessed to poisoning a baker, Neko claimed to be a Quaker.

4. Space-time fluxes: zelda's trip, YlT's table, Nate's reference to a recursive story (along with his string theory connecting all threads).

No, but I think I did hear someone go "eeep!", slap a hand over their mouth and then scurry from the room.

Plan for the night:

Print the story.
Don't forget the champagne.
Take the night train.
Solve the mystery.
If necessarily use the champagne.
Find Internet.
Post the solution in this topic.
Go to "bed".

Don't forget the absolutely indispensable (only because someone hid the garbage can in The Llounge) 750 posts (including this one) in this thread. They are chock full of vital (mis)interpretations of all the clues.
