I donā€™t have much time.

Yes, the title is correct. Despite the mass following of this blog, in lieu of recent events, Iā€™ve decided to delete all previous postings. My passion for Royal Puppetry has not ended, however, my lifeā€™s work and attention has shifted.
This may be cause for concernā€¦ and perhaps rightfully so.

Let me explainā€¦

About 12 weeks ago, I received a package in the mail. Inside, a mysterious enclosure withā€¦ what I can only describe as an ancient ā€œPandoraā€™s boxā€. Nothing else; no indication to what this might be or who sent it. Confused, but otherwise unfazed, I left it in my front room as a curiosity and tried to forget about it.

I could not. Itā€™s odd markings and undefined purpose lingered in my mind for days. Just the thought of it taunted me relentlessly.

It has a 6-letter code. Iā€™ve done the math. There are 308,915,776 possible solutions to unlock this device, so guesswork is impractical. Despite the impossible odds, I tried every 6-letter word that Google could come up with. I spent the better part of 8 weeks researching the device and its possible originā€¦ I compiled a spreadsheet of 6-letter words and began crossing off the listā€¦ all to no avail.

Until about a week ago.

It was a phone call. A number I didnā€™t recognize. Even more odd was the country code. +55ā€¦ Brazil.
My intuition kicked inā€¦ I hit ā€˜recordā€™ and answered the call.

The Lemon Hut?
I immediately went to the oddly-specific webpage and, after re-listening to my recorded call a few timesā€¦ I figured it out. Glad I kept the box.

I had just been gifted the first letter to the Crypt.

The Lemon Hutā€¦ Iā€™d never heard of itā€¦
I spent the next few weeks learning everything I could. Pouring over the site and its contents; seeking out the answers I soon found myself obsessing over.

One by oneā€¦ I found them.

At the time of this writing, I believe Iā€™ve identified 3 of the 6 letters.
I canā€™t offer these now - everything will be explained in time - I promise to post more journal entries here when I can. Stay tuned.
