R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[ okay assuming he read it off- ]

Some kind of puzzle... [ She flicks an ear in thought and swishes her tail. ] Sounds like some kind of animal. Something wild, but...with a code of loyalty?

[itwasfeyt]

Hmm...

[Head propped up in hand, the gears are turning in her head.

Looks at Hollyleaf.]

"Hunt, sleep, and sometimes creep..." Oh, could it be a cat?

[lockdownmods]

[another note flutters from the ether.

ofbs uibu xijdi j dboopu tuboe jt xifsf zpv xjmm gjoe nf.]

[itwasfeyt]

I think I did it!

[That's what this means right???? Oh, more paper.]

Huh, looks like we're not done yet.

[12d3]

It should be easy to solve now, yeah?

[since they know the letters already unless..... ITS CHANGED dun dun dun]

Can I give it a shot?

[itwasfeyt]

[mmmmmshe's still not happy with you right now, buddy. But whatever others can do is less that she'll need to do herself.]

Uhh, sure? If you want to give it a shot.

[Here... you go...]

[12d3]

[2-D just gives her a smile and takes it. It's Fine.]

Thank you!

[He'll take the other note and kneel down on the floor with them two, so he can compare and write down letters. For the first like second it goes well but then after the first word he stops... it says "slfy" which isn't a word last time he checked?? unless its a shorthand for selfy which is already short enough]


......it's not working.

[supportrole]

What are you doing?

[ Did he... actually have a theory here... ]

[12d3]

Well I thought it was going to work the same as before, yeah? With the O's as S's and all that stuff. But the letters aren't making any sense...

[hes doing His Best]

[supportrole]

Oh.

[ Okay, no, that was actually a pretty reasonable thing to try then. ]

Yeah, it wouldn't be the same since the J is a standalone letter this time. So if that's I again...

[ All right, let the pros take this over again. Writing in letters...

Hm. He's actually a little unsure with some of the last words since some of the letters don't repeat. ]

I think... it's near that which i cannot stand is where you will find me.

[ Because "where fog will bind me" is way too P4 for this P5. ]

[itwasfeyt]

...And how are we supposed to know what the note writer can't stand?

[12d3]

Maybe... maybe it's talking about it in a different way?

[Where is a place you can't stand...]

A place someone can't stand... the pool, maybe? It's not easy to stand in water.

[itwasfeyt]

Yeah, even in the shallow end, it's not really easy sometimes...

[The problems of Being Short.]

[12d3]

[2-D nods.]

Yeah, especially when people are splashin' you with water or tryin' to drown you.

[not that.. that... ever happened to him...]

[itwasfeyt]

Hmm...

[Claps hands together.]

Well! Looks like we have an idea! How about we go check out the pool then? Who's with me?

[YEAH POOL PART- Wait no, people died at the pool]

[supportrole]

It's not like all cats are grey, though--

[ oh there's another note NEVER MIND ]

[coagmentatio]

Yes, but the "I" gives a feeling of it referring to a specific one.

[ Small shrug. ]

[supportrole]

Isn't that just the way riddles like that are usually phrased? I guess that makes sense, though. [ Maybe they just usually use hints that allow fewer variations in possible answers... ]

[coagmentatio]

No clue, actually... I've never done riddles like this before.

[recodified]

...W-wait, it is? [ Fur puffs up a bit-- ] But- we're not that clingy!

[itwasfeyt]

Some are! At least, that's what I hear.

[She's never had her own cat.... and she never lived to get one...]

[recodified]

Not Clan cats!

[ ......................... ]

At least, not with humans!

[itwasfeyt]

Are you sure about no Clan cats?

[ya never know! She certainly doesn't.]

Every cat deserves love.

[recodified]

We give love inside our Clans!

[ Kiiiinda like you?? ]
