[Flood received this message from an Exile, who hoped to have it distributed through our network. My husband's stupid and arrogant lackey threw it away as soon as he'd read and failed to understand it, but I rescued it from his large pile of other people's now-discarded hopes and dreams.
This "Cartographer" is a fascinating man. I've heard that he is temperamental, but so are many of those with brilliant souls. Is he one of these? Will solving his puzzle reveal more about him and his motives? Or will truth pale next to the fantasy of anticipation? How delicious this new mystery is.]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roses are red, Violets are blue... Blue? Shouldn't they be violet? Well, that's of no concern to you. Your concern, primarily, should be on the colors red and blue. Take a hint, Jack, mix 'em up and hitch a magic carpet ride to parts you may know. Take a look at this little map, one of my masterpieces I crafted just for you:

All journeys must start somewhere; your second starts at the triangle. Let the man on the moon be your guide. Once you have reached the end of your trip, you'll have the keys to unlock the doorway to your final destination. A word of warning, Jack: even a simple route from A to B can turn into a monumental voyage.

Tell me, "Red Pills," where you wind up. As always, just for you, first past the finishing line wins a little something...

Interesting.

Cryptic as always, but still...Interesting.

**Mercio**

that sig for persephone is awsome!

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

Yay, more Monument-hunting.

Okay, the man on the moon is the first clue.

I think.

**Zeac**

no not the frist the first has to be with red and blue or violet something like that

I suppose we all know where the triangle is. But why would the first clue be our second stop? Maybe there is a Dev that has to do with space? Or...Maybe we should look for a bluepill with the last name of armstrong...

**Shouki**

The numbers along the sides are odd...

**Zeac**

second stop is because its his second puzzle that wer're doing

She pretty much directly says to mix up red and blue, when you mix red and blue, you get purple/violet. About the only places in MegaCity where purple is a prominent color are in some of the various clubs.

Depends on your angle when you start talking about 'The Triangle'. The Majesty Monument in Apollyon is a red triangle above a globe that could possibly resemble a moon, but at that same time, the Azimuth Monument in Moriah is a pretty obvious triangle, located directly outside of an area that is pretty obviously purple/violet.

My biggest problem, is that I can't make many heads or tails of the map at this point, but that could be caused by the fact that everything on my screen is starting to run together because of the sleep-haze covering my eyes... *CENSORED* addicting puzzles.

Out of curiosity, does it occur to anyone else that the "man on the moon" may be the one with a sense of humor?

if that were the case, I would think Andy Koffman (spelling?) were the "man on the moon" seeing as how he was a comedian and he was nicknamed that.

Andy Kauffman is dead, he ain't helping with this one.

I noticed a picture of Malphas on here with a Large moon in it? No clue....

The numbers on the border, with the arrows may be an indication of how far to move?

I thought to maybe place this over the maps of the districts? Don't know though...

I hate crossword puzzles. and this one is just like it.

No words though.

**Goligoth**

I dont get it
