Why am I so dense?
Kim really thinks that there's some kind of a hidden message in the note she received, but I can't see it. I've been staring at it for fifteen minutes and I got nothing.
See if you guys can make heads or tails of this, because I don't even know what I'm looking at.
"Gurgles from the groaning innards, false life,
living in total fear of the -Gentleman-,
living under -HIS- shadow, for - are unworthy
An eerie glow, a glimpse of fog, a cold night, feeling
Vacuum, breathless, surrounding, icy, death itself surrounds,
Theres a - out there waiting for -, little ant
In pain by - hand
Slick sly slippery organs guts and tears,
We see yor- death
Tick sh tock watch the clock
That damned poor sick fool.
- Regards, The Church"

I'm good with codes, not riddles. But, uh...Gllavtiswtt? GFTGIFL...I can't tell anything, but I'm going to try. *Joce
ReplyDeleteand there are definitely no typos in this? 'cause, words missing via - symbol aside, the lines "We see yor- death" and "Tich sh took watch the clock" stood out to me.
ReplyDeletei'm thinking maybe the code is in the missing words.
no see dashes are result of this writers clouded thoughts otherwise full words, something about the letters, think first of first don't know second of second something so dense vir stultus stultus third of stultus fool fool
ReplyDeleteFirst letter of the first sentence, second of the second sentence? Is that it?
ReplyDeleteI tried that, and this is what I got:
"Giveusby(- or d)kP"
The first part is obviously "Give us" then maybe "by", but I'm not sure about the rest of it. Does that mean anything to you?
~Alora
Ugh. I was about to point out the odd dashes on Vivere Disce, and I'm glad I saw this first. It looks to me like you're on the right track, Alora.
ReplyDeleteI just ran both "bydkp" and "gllavtiswtt" through a rot filter, and got nothing. I kind of doubted it was something like that, but I guess it was worth a shot.
And I just realized...crud. Do we know what Kim's last initial is? If not, Kim, do you remember it? Because, well...GiveUsBy-kp doesn't bode well if her initials are K.P. I really hope I'm not right...
I'm not sure what this could mean. I've tried to complete it; this is what I have.

Of course, given the recent events... well, let's just say I'm not fully there.
realize
ReplyDeletenothing doesn't count
space doesn't count
space. doesn't. count.
Right. Okay.
ReplyDeleteSo the words Scott added minus spaces, then find the letters? I'll try...can't hurt.
ReplyDelete~Alora
the writer broke it
ReplyDelete+she- might be lost
own fault
It's okay. That's fine. We'll figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI still only have "Give us" then gibberish letters. Is there a second note? Or am I missing something?
~Alora
no.
ReplyDeletenot any persons fault but this writers
couldn't type properly. words tangled. still tangled.
should work better now. think on right track.
fixed the note think. was missing something there. letters couldn't quite see. sorry. own fault. so sorry. so so sorry. so so so so sorry.
it's not too late Kim; we can still fix this. Just give me a moment to solve this...
ReplyDeleteOkay. I translated the code, still doesn't make much sense. This is what I got:
ReplyDelete"Give us blokd"
However, if you switch the e with the d in damnned, you get:
"Give us bloke."
Who is he Kim? Who is the church referring to? Who do they want?
