The wheels of motion turned and spun,
A quarter moon past,
Time runneth fast,
Our countdown already begun.

April 10

A very dark day in our prime,
Our planet is covered in grime,
Pray hear our concern,
All ye to learn,
Five plus one less than a dime.

April 16

HETFET.org is updated to display a new lyric, this time the file naming convention has changed.

TH.jpg
From light they often make stone,
Time for us all to atone,
Years of abuse,
From persons obtuse,
One nine of a month yet unknown.
Refreshing also makes the previous lymerics appear, now also following the new naming convention.
Lymeric 1 = ET
Lymeric 2 = LL
Lymeric 3 = SA
Lymeric 4 = TH

April 18

HETFET.org is updated to include a new lyric.

VE.jpg
Four out of twelve leads the way,
Twenty less one points the day,
Of primary concern, For thou to learn,
Fine creatures in dire dismay.
Giving: ET LL SA TH VE
Which can anagram to: SA VE TH ET ?? LL (missing letters being RO? "SAVE THE TROLL"?)
The lymeric also seems to describe "4 of 12" and 20-1=19 - April 19th?


HETFET Revealed

April 19

HETFET.org became active.

HETFET means: "Humans for the Ethical Treatment of Fairies, Elves, and Trolls"
The new site includes a number of sections and pages of content. But of primary import is the Secret Device (link).
Believed to have been forged by mystical alchemists and metallurgists during the time when Trolls freely walked the Earth, the object known only as THE SECRET DEVICE, has thrilled and perplexed those few that have taken gaze upon it.
The device is very 'steampunk' in appearance, containing 3 rings that can be rotated, with numbers from 0 through 99 adoring their perimeter. At certain positions lights glow for each ring. There are also 10 'slots' at the foot of the device.

Lock #1 of the device is unlocked.

Positioning the rings at (or by top-left-right = ) unlocks the device.
Unlocking the device display a new poem with hilighted letters, which spell: "Lexilloyd.comhetfet.org"
This then leads to Lexilloyd.com, the personal blog of Lexi Lloyd
Returning to the device, the first slot in the footer is now 'lit'.


Lexi's site contains numerous entries dating back to January, and provides a link to her youtube profile (link)

Lexi quotes a riddle she likes, for us to solve for fun.
Start by picking a small number. Do you have it?
Now, double the number... add 8 to the result... divide the result by 2... subtract the original number
And now we're going to convert that result into a letter - so 1 would be A, 2 would be B, 3 would C, ekcetra[sic].
So with that letter, name a country that begins with it.
Now think of an animal whose name starts with the second letter of that country.
Think of a colour of that animal. You got it?
