The Levesque Institute of Paranormal and Parapsychological Research

**The Levesque Institute of Paranormal and Parapsychological Research** is a repository of archived documents and collections connected to themes of the paranormal and the occult. The institute is privately owned and run by Aramis Levesque and located on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris.

The institute is actually located in the basement of one of the buildings on St Louis Island in the middle of the Seine. It’s a large and visually stunning facility when first seen and far larger than the address above ground would indicate - taking up the footprint of the whole block. The location had originally been a wharf of some sort - a warehouse on the riverfront - but now the entire space is taken up with bookcases and tables full of papers and journals and other historical reading material. There is no discernible filing system for the collection so any visitor is reliant on help from Levesque himself to find what they are looking for.

In 2020, Dr. Allen sought to use the institute’s resources to investigate the failed Melusine ritual at the First Battle of the Marne in 1914. He corresponded with Levesque by hand, in French, but missed his appointment to visit the archive in person when his plans needed to be changed after Matthew Heawood spotted his associate, Daisy Marsh, in Mosul, Iraq.

## Production & Broadcast

### Production Coordination

Sarah Tombling
Holly Slater

## Synopsis

A mysterious, unintroduced 9th episode of The Whisperer in Darkness is released... but why?

## Plot

The episode consists of nothing but a 35 second audio clip looped for over 27 minutes. The clip consists of a series of static bursts set to ethereal and unsettling music. Upon closer listening, it sounds as if there is something in the static bursts but it is nigh impossible to work out.

## Notes and Trivia

* Julian Simpson, the writer and director of the series, has revealed that this episode was only meant to consist of one audio clip. The reason it is looped so much is due to a mistake by the BBC.
* This episode uses the same mysterious broadcast used in "Fugue State".
Samuel Fisher

**Samuel Fisher** was a member of the influential Fisher family who lived in Innsmouth, Massachusetts in the mid-19th century. He was married to Emily Fisher and together they ran a shipping company that worked in partnership with the Marsh Refining Company to export gold, Dagon iconography around the world.

Steven Daguero

**Steven Daguero** is a member of the UK's Counter-Terrorist Unit (CTU). During the Kokomo cyberattack, he served as deputy to the unit's head, Philip Levine.

Daguero appears to have benefitted from a rounded education, being well enough informed on scientific theory to recognise the merits of the arguments being put forward by the Harlequinade group; and also having a broad knowledge of the classical Italian theatre known as commedia dell'arte upon which the cyberterrorists had built their personas.

While not a specialist in cyber-security, Daguero was tasked with briefing his boss when the Kokomo cyberattack first appeared. As a broadly cautious person, Daguero was reluctant to assign Alice Price as the CTU negotiator, as had been requested by the cyberterrorist group responsible for Kokomo - the Harlequinade. He saw Price as having poor people skills and while he wouldn't go as far as labelling her a maverick, he was uncomfortable with her record of deviating from protocol. However, Daguero was also pragmatic enough to recognise that CTU didn't really have a choice in this case.

While monitoring the conversation between Price and the Harlequinade, it was Daguero that noticed Harlequin was tapping out "Help me" in Morse code with her pen. This ultimately led to Price being able to break the unity of the trio - although her method was not approved of by Daguero - and Harlequin finally appeared to break her loyalties to her compatriots and give Price and the CTU the 'decryption key' to stop Kokomo.

Unfortunately, Daguero's natural caution was overruled by Levine when Daguero requested that the key be checked in a controlled environment with an isolated server. However, Levine was under significant pressure from Whitehall and the politicians above him to bring the crisis to a swift end. He ordered Daguero to skip any testing and allow the virus through the government firewalls in order to introduce the decryption key. Ultimately, Daguero's suspicions were proven correct when he decoded Harlequin's next Morse code message - "Ha ha ha". The cyberterrorists had put on an intricate deception to trick the CTU into letting the virus onto their servers, something the virus couldn't do by itself. In addition, the decryption key did not shut down the virus but instead shifted it protocols to deleting the data it encountered instead of merely encrypting it.
Warden Godfrey

**Warden Godfrey** was a folkloric character created by the 2018 Blackfriars Albion Event. An amalgamation of the cultural collective memory of Bridewell in London, Godfrey was the warden of the palace when it served as a prison. He imprisoned Mary Lairre and Hermione Parker as they investigated the event and presented himself as a stereotypical misogynistic disciplinarian.

1. ↑ Mythos: "Albion"
The Ogilvy Family

**The Ogilvies** are a family from the 15th century whose story of betrayal and death led to versions of the family to emerge in the folkloric repository dimension of Avalon.

In 1486, the 2nd Lord of Glamis Castle betrayed the Ogilvies after offering them sanctuary from a rival Scottish clan. Glamis took the family in but locked them in a room which legend has it was then bricked up. It was assumed the family starved to death but the bodies have never been found. In their visit to Avalon in 2017, Johnson surmised that the Ogilvies, or some form of them, seemed to have passed into the mythical realm.

However, it turns out that Johnson, Lairre and Parker were under a misapprehension that the Ogilvy family were dangerous. Lady Viviane had to explain that despite their appearance and their roaring form of communication between each other, the Ogilvies were actually quite harmless as they were, in fact, strict vegetarians and "*as docile as cows*".

Pantalone

**Pantalone** is a member of the cyberterrorist group, the Harlequinade, and may also go by the name of **David Cordell**.

In 2013, Pantalone and his compatriots launched a cyberattack on financial and commercial systems around the world using the the Kokomo virus. The virus, while devastatingly effective on civilian networks, was not sufficiently robust to infect government computer systems and thus the Harlequinade deceived the Counter-Terrorist Unit (CTU) into letting the virus through its firewalls. Pantalone contacted the CTU and requested to speak in person to Alice Price.

What followed was a carefully orchestrated deception. Pantalone presented as a leader of sorts in the group. When Price first started to talk with them they presented a unified group of dangerously eccentric revolutionaries. However, Harlequin then made a secret cry for help by tapping out "Help me" in Morse code with her pen. When Price revealed this to Pantalone and Columbina, they appeared to be angry at this betrayal and Pantalone, in particular, showed great concern when Harlequin revealed their 'real' names.

A rift then appeared between Pantalone and Columbina when Price started to suggest that Pantalone, being an investment banker named David Cordell, might have orchestrated the entire cyberattack for his own financial gain. Columbina began to side with Harlequin claiming that the true goal of the attack, to "[turn] the clock back 30 or 40 years" technologically speaking would be impossible if Kokomo couldn't infect government systems - a weakness of the code that Pantalone had apparently not shared with his colleagues.

Pantalone's, Columbina's and Harlequin's performances all convinced the CTU that the decryption key that Harlequin shared, much to the protestations of Pantalone, was genuine. Their philosophising and prevarication also gave Kokomo sufficient time to spread so CTU, being desperate to stop the cyberattack, didn't follow safety protocols to make sure the key would work. The key did *not* shut down the Kokomo virus and instead deleted the encrypted information for good.

Pantalone thanked Alice Price for her vital role in getting the virus onto the government computers claiming that "We've saved the world."

Sarah Ward

**Sarah Ward née Tillinghast** (1963 - 2010) was a member of the influential Tillinghast family.

## Early Life

Sarah was born in 1963 in America after her mother, Eliza Tillinghast, became pregnant out-of-wedlock by Joseph Curwen. Eliza's pregnancy with Sarah appears to have been a deliberate effort on the part of her family, her brother Godfrey Tillinghast in particular, to wrest control of the Ipqu-Aya bloodline away from Curwen. It is likely that Eliza's father, Lord Ambrose Tillinghast, paid for Eliza's passage to America in 1962 with the dual purpose of sparing the family the social embarrassment of Sarah's illegitimacy, but also to relocate Eliza and Sarah away from Curwen, who was leading the New Forest Coven at the time.

## Family

In 1991, Sarah married Howard Philip Ward in Providence, Rhode Island. Two years later, they had a son, Charles Dexter Ward. It's unclear when Sarah became aware of her parentage and how much her mother, Eliza, encouraged her to learn about Curwen and Ipqu-Aya. Sarah’s marriage to Howard, a man with a suspected hereditary tie to the first cunning man to set foot in the Americas, Mr Ely, suggests some knowledge and active interest in her family’s occult history.

Nonetheless, by the time she was raising Charles, it appears she had rejected this aspect of her heritage. In sessions with his psychiatrist, Charles expressed the opinion that his mother had actively lied to him about their bloodline because around 2011, he discovered his true grandfather, Joseph Curwen's birth certificate, which was at odds with what Sarah had told him up to that point.

Sarah and Howard began to have concerns about their son's behaviour, unaware that he was being manipulated and groomed as a vessel for Ipqu-Aya by the school librarian, Barbara Sayers. At Sarah's request, Dr. Jonathan Willett was employed to provide regular psychiatric support for her son. However, when Charles's behaviour led to him being excluded from school, Sayers managed to convince Sarah and her husband that their son was gifted and required specialist tutoring. When Willett protested this the Wards fired him.

## Death

Sarah Ward was killed in a hit-and-run incident with a car in 2010. The driver of the car was never caught. Further investigation by podcasters Matthew Heawood and Kennedy Fisher revealed that Sarah's half-sister, Destiny (another daughter of Curwen's), was similarly killed in a car accident.

Soon after Sarah's death, her widower re-employed the services of Willett but it is unknown whether Sarah had been an opponent of such a move before her death or whether Howard decided that the loss of Charles's mother necessitated further psychiatric support for his son.

## Synopsis

A complex mystery story as told by Kennedy Fisher.

## Notes and Trivia

* This bonus episode is the result of a real-life editorial decision to keep the complete story out of "Rubaiyat" lest it take that episode off on too much of a tangent (see that episode's Notes and Trivia).
* This episode features the first mention of Aldrich Kemp within the Pleasant Green Universe.
* Kennedy Fisher jokes about her talents being wasted on the Mystery Machine and that she should perhaps get work with Richard Maclean Smith instead. This is a reference to the highly successful Unexplained podcast. In fact, Maclean Smith is someone with whom Julian Simpson has worked.
* Richard Maclean Smith would indeed go on to cover the Somerton Man mystery three years later.
* The mystery of the Somerton Man took a large step towards being solved in 2022 when Derek Abbott and Colleen Fitzpatrick put forward strong evidence suggesting he might be a man called Carl "Charles" Webb from Melbourne.

Ted

**Ted** was a character brought into existence by the 2017 Hadleigh Fracture Event.

Not a real person, he and others encountered by Department agents, Mary Lairre and Jonathan Hicks, were more like ghosts or memories of people who had once existed - in this case, the memories of Seth Taylor.

In his capacity as a member of the Home Guard protecting the village of Hadleigh from potential German invasions in 1943, Ted accompanied his commanding officer, Sergeant Aubrey Dawson, in questioning Lairre and Hicks as to their identities and intentions. Ted initially suspected the two of being Germans.

Not being particularly bright, Ted tended to simply parrot what Dawson said. However, he could be quite careless with information.

Seth Taylor

**Seth Anthony Taylor** (1930 - 2017) is a resident of Hadleigh, Essex who, in his later years, became involved in a plot by the wizard Neboad to reacquire the full use of his Book of Spells.

## Early Life

Taylor was born in 1930. In his early 20s, he started courting his friend, Lance’s, sister, Kate Horton. They married and moved into a house that once belonged to James Murrell (an ancestor of Kate’s). They had one child, Ronald, who was born in 1950 but died, age 7, having slipped into a local river and drowned. Seth and Kate had no more children and soon moved house, perhaps seeking a fresh start after the tragedy of their loss. Taylor lost his wife to a terminal illness in 2000.

## Neboad’s Offer

By 2017, Seth had no living family or close friends and was living in a care home in Hadleigh when his advancing years meant he was no longer able to live independently. It was this old man, nearing the end of a lonely life, that the wizard Neboad approached. Neboad offered Taylor a book that had belonged to his wife, Kate. The wizard then used his magic to make a trade with Seth for rightful possession of the book - he created a reality wherein Kate and Ronald were alive and the Taylor family was still living happily in the old Murrell house. Knowing that the use of such magic would create a fracture event that would draw attention, Noboad left Black Shuck as a guard dog to keep investigators away from the Taylors.

## Help from Mary Lairre

Department operatives, Mary Lairre and Jonathan Hicks, while investigating Neboad’s accelerating fracture event befriended Seth and Kate Taylor. Initially, Seth was keen for his wife not to be made aware of her supernatural nature. However, as Seth always saw Kate as being smarter than him, his projection of her was likely smarter and it turned out she was already aware that she was likely a ghost.

Neboad had used the Taylors;’ home as a temporal hub that existed both outside of space-time and in all times at once. This way, he was able to travel across centuries in order to hide his Book of Spells. To prevent Neboad’s overall plans of using his Book of Spells to return to former glory, Lairre guided Taylor in amending one of the spells in the book that meant the house was permanently moved out of space and time. In this way, Seth was able to live forever with his wife and child, and Neboad was stranded in 1603 without his spellbook. Lairre arranged with Johnson that a death certificate be provided for Seth so his absence wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.

Vienna, Austria

Flag of Vienna

**Vienna** is the capital city of Austria.

There are records of the Comte de Saint Germain visiting the city in the late 1740s.

In 2015, Russian oligarch Ivan Kerchenko, was assassinated in Vienna, possibly at the hands of the Themis Group.

The company, Hanswurst, is registered in Vienna (although it has financial accounts in Switzerland). Obed Marsh visited this company in 2020 to arrange a €2m payment for a contract on Kennedy Fisher.

After learning that she was getting close to bringing down Conrad Spijker, Mr. Bartholomew tried to send Clara Page to an assassin, Mr. Durchdenwald, who was based at 112 Burggasse in the city.

The following year, Nakesha Kemp and Sebastian Harcourt broke into the Liberty Flights offices in Vienna to uncover evidence of criminal conspiracy. It was in these offices that Kemp was overwhelmed by a swarm of bees.

Slide

### Series

The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow over Innsmouth, Who is Aldrich Kemp?, The Haunter of The Dark

### Last Appearance

"The Haunter of The Dark Episode 9"

**‘Slide’** is the alias of a London-based cybersecurity expert friend of Kennedy Fisher’s who makes use of his services when she needs something done “that’s technical, but not technically legal". Over the course of The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow over Innsmouth and The Haunter of The Dark seasons, Slide became a trusted ally of the podcast whose expertise was sought by both Fisher and later Matthew Heawood. After Heawood disappeared during the events at Pleasant Green, Slide continued to help Fisher in her search for him.

On top of being a hacker/cybersecurity expert, Slide is also a keen gamer. Slide also has at least some family as, in 2023, Fisher interrupted a holiday he was enjoying in the south of France while attending a cousin's wedding.

## Abilities

Slide has shown a broad variety of skills including remotely hacking into Wi-Fi networks and the contact lists of smartphones connected to those networks. He is adept at triangulating the positions of mobile phones. At Fisher’s urging, he proved himself capable of using vintage computers to decode scrambled audio signals. He will also provide a full review of a digital target - their social media accounts, their financial accounts, etc.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Slide revealed that his hacking abilities were expert enough to gather data from government sources about secret COBRA meetings. Slide also proved capable of overcoming the Themis Group's security by finding Aldrich Kemp's personal phone number and sharing it with Fisher.

Novak

**Novak** is a world renowned assassin who worked with Remington Schofield during his Liberty Flights operation.

Little is known about Novak's early life but what is known is that he was defrocked as a Catholic priest for unknown reasons. Feeling something of a grudge against the church for this, Novak infiltrated the Vatican in the guise of one of the papal Swiss guards. His objective was to kill the pope but he was stopped before this could happen. He managed to escape from his failed assassination attempt but not before he was shot in the throat which resulted in permanent damage to his vocal chords.

After this, Novak became known as a first-rate assassin known as 'The Whisperer' and with an odd quirk connected to his religious convictions - he was known to always attend the funerals of his victims.

When Remington Schofield sought to have Aldrich Kemp assassinated as part of his attempt to create a black swan event, he employed the services of two assassins - one, a second-rate killer called Miguel Angel Espinosa, was used as a decoy while Novak was contracted to take advantage of the distraction Espinosa would provide. This plan worked but had been anticipated by Kemp and thus Novak actually ended up killing Wilhelm Ausberger. When this mistake was uncovered by Schofield, he vowed to kill Novak for his poor work but not before the completion of his Liberty Flights operation - which involved crashing a plane full of a deadly and extremely contagious virus into a heavily populated area of Europe.

For the rest of the operation, Novak served as an assistant to Schofield. However, when Schofield, Novak and a team of mercenaries stormed Themis House, they were overpowered by the Themis Group and Sebastian Harcourt overpowered Novak by knocking him unconscious with a frying pan.

> “*...almost no one better embodies the bridge between occultism and fascism than Savitri Devi.*” - **Matthew Heawood**
>
>

**Savitri Devi** (born **Maximiani Julia Portaz**; September 30, 1905 – October 22, 1982) was a French-born Greek fascist, Nazi sympathiser, connected with Françoise Dior, the National Front and Ernest Gladwin.

Intellectually, Devi was a remarkable woman, earning two Masters’ degrees and a PhD in Philosophy. However, her politics were extreme far-right and during the Second World War, while still under the name of Maximiani Portaz, she spied for the Nazis. When Germany lost the war she returned to Europe under her new married name, Savitri Devi.

Devi started to make significant connections with various fascist movements after World War Two. She is believed to have been responsible for linking Ernest Gladwin to the American National Socialists and the Ku Klux Klan. At the same time, her friend Françoise Dior became closely entwined with British fascists Colin Jordan and John Tyndall.

Devi died in her home in Sible Hedingham in 1982.

Winslow

**Winslow** is a mortuary assistant.

He was on duty when the bodies from an incident at Heathrow Airport were brought in. Mrs. Bartholomew was disappointed to discover that Winslow was not a qualified medical doctor despite his protestations that such a qualification wasn't necessary for his work in the mortuary.

He tried to adhere to the rules that no one should be left alone with the corpses but became uncomfortable at Clara Page's emotional outburst and left her alone to speak with a very much alive Aldrich Kemp.

Roderick Ashton-Heath

**Roderick Ashton-Heath** was the husband of Elizabeth Gladwin, father of Wilberforce Ashton-Heath and Caroline Morse, and a member of the Ashton-Heath family, a historical family with connections to royalty. Roderick's family connections would have made him a very desirable suitor for Elizabeth Gladwin who, herself, was no stranger to influential families, being part of the Fisher family through her mother, Abigail. Roderick's son, Wilberforce, similarly made a political union by marrying, Lesley, a member of the Tillinghast family.

When talking with Matthew Heawood, Caroline Morse spoke about her father in the past tense, suggesting that Roderick Ashton-Heath had died by 2023.
Simon

**Simon** (d. 2016) was a neurobiologist specialising in how the brain processes and responds to sound inputs.

Following the communications blackout of Pleasant Green and the return from the village of Blake Hornsby who quickly fell into a fugue state, Simon was brought in by the Department of Works at Dr. Fallon's behest. She hoped that his specialist skills would help in the efforts to rouse Hornsby from his state so he could provide a situation report on what he'd learned while in the village.

Despite Simon having been given Foxtrot clearance for the purposes of this assignment, he and Fallon were initially hampered by Mr. Johnson's reluctance to share sensitive information. Johnson was eventually convinced to give both Simon and Fallon Blue Legacy clearance and this freed them up to create detailed and accurate soundscapes that helped Hornsby to process his experiences. However, Simon was quite disturbed by some of what he learned as a result of his new clearance level. The implication that the number station message contained numbers suggesting an extra-terrestrial intelligence was trying to make contact seemed initially ridiculous to the neurobiologist.

The efforts to bring Hornsby out of his fugue state ultimately pushed him further into it. The repeated use of a particular part of the message, a heavily garbled quote from Michelangelo, "*I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free*" eventually led to Simon joining Hornsby in the Mindscape. Simon appeared to acclimatise to his new circumstances, grasping non-corporal concepts much more quickly than Hornsby, which pleased Polly.

Urgent Update from Kennedy Fisher

## Synopsis

Kennedy addresses an audio glitch and uncovers a secret code.

## Plot

Kennedy Fisher addresses the audience, explaining that she has flown into Boston, Massachusetts, and is now staying at Newburyport for the night before travelling to Innsmouth the next day. She tells us that Matthew Heawood is travelling, and she's been unable to contact him, but she wants to talk about Episode 9. Kennedy reveals that someone, somehow, uploaded a ninth episode to *The Whisperer in Darkness*, and that she is convinced that it is not an audio glitch and that there is something within the episode's sound. She has asked Charlotte Davenport to investigate it, and she has discovered it's an audio illusion that your brain cannot understand unless it already knows what it is. Charlotte believes that the secret contained within the episode is 'I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set it free', a quote from Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. Kennedy doesn't know what it means but she plans to investigate further when Matt gets back to her. She is then interrupted by someone knocking at the door, and promises to check in again when she's in Innsmouth.

## Notes and Trivia

Piccadilly Circus Station

**Piccadilly Circus Station** is a London Underground train station.

In 2006, the station was the location of a terrorist attack when James and Mia Warren planted a backpack with explosives connected to a remote trigger. The Warren's were under surveillance by the counter-terrorist unit, SD1, and while one of their agents, Martin Willis, nearly managed to apprehend James Warren, he was not fast enough to execute the kill order he'd been given and Warren managed to detonate the explosives, killing both himself and Willis. Mia managed to escape but was hunted down and killed by SD1 in 2008.

Yuri Kerchenko

**Yuri Kerchenko** was a member of the SD1 counter-terrorism unit and a colleague of Martin Willis.

In 2008, Kerchenko, Willis and other members of the SD1 team were conducting surveillance on possible terrorist subjects, Leonard Price and Charles Dylan. It was hoped that these men might lead the unit to Mia Warren, a high-priority target. However, Kerchenko expressed doubts that Price and Dylan were anything more than drugged out hippies. Kerchenko eventually helped Willis to disprove his own theory by discovering that the conversation between Price and Dylan was a recording and that they'd been murdered.

Kerchenko helped Willis again, utilising his previous experience as a highly proficient audio analyst, to locate Warren's location based on a single phone call recording. After Willis was taken captive by Warren, Kerchenko led the tactical team that stormed the building she was holding him in. It was Kerchenko who shot Warren dead but not before SD1's more devious methods were revealed.

Kerchenko was revealed to be complicit in the use of Willis as a programmed agent, whose personality was uploaded so that he would fool an lie detectors and win Mia Warren's trust. Upon successful completion of the Warren mission, Commander Sampson had Kerchenko switch Willis off so that his memory might be wiped and reprogrammed for his next undercover mission.

The Newman Kidnapping Case

**The kidnapping of Mrs. Newman** was a criminal event that took place at some point before 2013.

The Newmans were a well-off couple when Mrs. Newman was kidnapped. The kidnappers made contact and demanded a ransom. Negotiator, Alice Price, was brought in to deliver the ransom and secure Newman's release. However, the kidnappers upon seeing that the ransom would indeed be paid, demanded more money.

When this happened, Price's strategy was to breach protocol and try to befriend the kidnappers and make them think she was on their side. The strategy was successful in revealing the location of Mrs. Newman - with enough conversation, the criminals became careless with their words and revealed key clues about where Newman was. However, this was a hollow victory because Newman had already been murdered and all that Price uncovered was the location of her body.

Price later transferred over the Counter-Terrorist Unit and, reflecting on the Newman case, became more guarded with regard to trying to befriend the more mentally unstable people she had to negotiate with.

Simon Orne

**Simon Orne** is a named partner of the American legal firm Hutchinson and Orne in Boston, Massachusetts. After facilitating a large financial donation to The Mystery Machine podcast in 2018 on behalf of a client of the firm, Orne was contacted by Matthew Heawood, the podcast's producer. Orne couldn't disclose the identity of his client but reassured Heawood that the money was a donation and did not represent sponsorship or any sort of payment-in-kind.

It was later discovered that the donation was actually from Dr. Allen, who was keen for the Mystery Machine to find other heirs to Joseph Curwen's Ipqu-Aya legacy. This connection to Allen also lends credence to the idea that Simon may be related to Eliza Orne, a 19th century resident of Innsmouth who was the last person in the town to receive a Christian burial.

## Notes

* The name is a reference to the necromancer Jedediah Orne, a character from H. P. Lovecraft's *The Case of Charles Dexter Ward*. Orne and his colleague, Edward Hutchinson, were Joseph Curwen's compatriots in raising the dead to torture their secrets out of them.

Théâtre du Grand-Guignol

**Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol**, known as the **Grand Guignol**, was a theatre in Paris in the 1920s that specialised in horror shows. These plays focused on the grotesque and darker aspects of humanity including torture, death and insanity. One of the significant creative pairings for the theatre in the 1920s was André de Lorde and psychologist Alfred Binet. It is Aramis Levesque's belief that the horrors of the First World War as well as the repercussions of the failed Melusine ritual in 1914 led to Lorde and Binet writing such dark plays as a means of understanding the horrors of the industrial-scale death.

In 1925, the Grand Guignol was the venue for two significant gatherings on the same day. A photograph, believed to be by Man Ray, was taken outside the theatre of a group of famous friends and associates: Aleister Crowley, Alice Prin (Man Ray's girlfriend at the time), Nancy Cunard, André Gide and Pablo Picasso. However, in the background, another gathering was captured in the picture, and one that might explain Crowley's attendance in the first place. This was a meeting of fascists and occultists including Obed Marsh, Edwin Lillibridge and Ernest Gladwin.

According to Caroline Morse, it was this meeting that led to a fallout between Lillibridge and Gladwin that would put them at odds for the rest of their lives.

Bread

Bread was a contestant was Camp Flat, competing in Team The Squishy Blueberries

## Challenge Placing

 Ch.3

Sadly, the loaf got stale quickly, and thus was sent to the compost bin on the open ocean.

 Overall, you were a decent contestant. Sure, you didn't place the best in challenges, but you had a good social game and ok roleplaying skills. Before you were eliminated, you did some pretty cool roleplay, but now it's time we say goodbye to the loaf.
Sir Miles of the Laundes

**Sir Miles of the Laundes** is a subject of Lady Viviane's court in the folkloric dimension of Avalon.

When members of the Department of Works had to venture into Avalon to retrieve Libby Ward and Carlton Murray, they were escorted by Sir Miles and his companion, Elaine of Corbenic, to Lady Viviane's court. At court, they took great pleasure at the misunderstanding that the Ogilvy family were blood-thirsty monsters - as they knew full well they were vegetarian.

It was also revealed at court that Sir Miles is somewhat flexible with his sexual proclivities, having no qualms about having congress with a ghost.

The Yew Tree

**The Yew Tree** is a pub in Hadleigh, Essex.

The pub derives its name from an ancient yew tree that grows in the pub's beer garden. When the village experienced an accelerated fracture event, it was entering the Yew Tree that led to Department agents, Mary Lairre and Jonathan Hicks to be separated across time, wherein Hicks was transported back to 1603, long before the pub was established, and Lairre was transported back to 1977 where she could enjoy silver jubilee celebrations, cheap pints of beer, and those packets of crisps with the little salt sachets.

However, the loss of Hick's smartphone in 1603 led to Lairre experiencing an alternate timeline where, in 1977, the Yew Tree had wi-fi for its customers protected with the password "yewtree1977". In this timeline, the pub had been destroyed by 2017 and the village of Hadleigh appeared to have become a war-zone.
