(Adjusts his glasses.)

What is approaching?

OOC: Future
Then indeed to arouse in the sin of darkness.

OOC: I guess I should've done that instead of posting a reply first.

OOC: Its not a big deal, technically I shouldn't have even responded, but well, I'm kinda impulsive.

It seems you are well versed in the tongue of God's child of man. Very well, then I shall send you the full message, but it shall not be easy.

Then, indeed, to arouse in the darkness of sin....

What are you planning...?

(Stretches casually.)

I wouldn't have it any other way.

*comes running in from the Cafe*

oh, hey labcoat guy, did you feel something here

Yeah, I went out for a walk and found a Latin butterfly. I'm not sure which is more impressive, that it can talk, OR that it can speak Latin.

42 67 75 66 73 20 75 69 66 20 65 66 6e 6a 74 66 20 70 67 20 75 69 66 20 71 62 6d 62 64 66 20 70 67 20 78 73 62 75 69 2c 20 62 20 6f 66 78 20 74 69 62 65 70 78 20 6e 62 65 66 20 67 73 70 6e 20 63 70 75 69 20 75 73 76 75 69 20 62 6f 65 20 75 69 66 20 74 6a 6f 20 70 67 20 62 6f 70 75 69 66 73 20 74 69 62 6d 6d 20 62 73 6a 74 66 20 62 6f 65 20 63 73 6a 6f 68 20 73 76 6a 6f 20 76 71 70 6f 20 62 6d 6d 20 78 69 70 20 75 73 62 77 66 6d 20 75 69 73 70 76 68 69 20 75 69 6a 74 20 65 70 70 73 2e

And now it speaks hex code.

*notices the butterfly*

Um.... I... I don't think that's a butterfly.
I should probably go now... I'll find you once I get this "singing" thing.

*runs off*

Wait, I have experience in this!

Here's the translation from hex.

Bgufs uif efnjtf pg uif qbmbdf pg xsbui, b ofx tibepx nbef gspn cpui usvui boe uif tjo pg bopuifs tibmm bsjtf boe csjoh svjo vqpo bmm xip usbwfm uispvhi uijt epps.

Envy...such a foolish child...

How.. You.... I don't know you... How do you know me?

Oh, but you've known me since the day you were born.

"Genius without education is like silver"

Interesting...only some of the puzzle is solved at first...

Or not....I have no idea how that was an answer I got...

But here: "After the demise of the palace of wrath, a new shadow made from both truth and the sin of another shall arise and bring ruin upon all who travel through this door."

*obviously panicking*

You.... No, you're not... Are you going to be mad at me? I.. I'm sorry I left again.

Nothing you say matters anymore, this reality will soon be brought to naught.
*The butterfly starts to glow and then fades away*

Welp. There goes any hope to getting answers out of it.

(Looks at Gamma)

You okay?

I... I've got to go lab coat guy. I'm not really supposed to be here.. My family might be mad to learn I keep talking to you people. Maybe I'll be able to get this "singing" thing later.

Huh? Oh, well be safe! (Waves him off and scans him as he leaves. Then begins whispering to himself.)

Hm? Oho! I knew I hit the jack pot here!

(Looks around cautiously before returning to the cafe.)

OOC: Oh, God, why. You win, the first one gave me a combination of 0,1,2,and 3s

OOC: Is this even a code? I'm starting to think you're just messing with me

OOC: It was, perhaps splitting it up ruined it.

OOC: You cheeky fucking bastard. I love you~!

OOC: I got this from all three 303130313030313020303031303031313120303131303131313020303031303030303020303131303031303020303131313130313020303131303031313120303131313130303020303131313030313120303131313030313020303131303131303120303131313031303020303031303030303020303131303030313020303131303131303020303131303031313020303031303030303020303130313030303020303131303131313120303131313030313020303131313130303120303031303131313020 good luck

OOC: is that Morse code? It looks like Morse code.

OOC: It went off the page. Nice

OOC: I believe I've heard of a Cypher that uses those four numbers, I believe it was used in Cicada, but I can't remember how it works for the life of me...

The text is hex code from what I gather.

01010010 00100111 01101110 00100000 01100100 01111010 01100111 01111000 01110011 01110010 01101101 01110100 00100000 01100010 01101100 01100110 00100000 01010000 01101111 01110010 01111001 00101110

And then that turns to:

R'n dzgxsrmt blf Pory.

OOC: Oh, you're close!

OOC: How many layers did you put this message through!? Jesus christ, the difficulty spike! lol

Ooc: I attempted translation before realizing that that would appear to be a scrambled sentence, not a different linguistic.

OOC: Gamma was solving my other puzzles too easily on the discord.

OOC: Seeing as they were being done so quickly I assumed it was supposed to be easy and just started shoving them in every decoder I was familiar with using here.

OOC: Yeah, I just learned how to do this stuff, I still suck at decoding them myself though.

OOC: Well if I did it correctly then there isn't another shift...unless there is a keyword we don't know... otherwise, it's just a matter of scrambling those letters, which I am horrible at.

Ooc: of course, as far as I am aware, there is no decoder to unscramble a sentence. A word, maybe, but not an entire sentence. This will be complicated...

OOC: Caesar got this into E'a qmtkfezg oys Cbel.
whcih is at least more workable letters than the mess of Xs Ys and Zs, but I'll check other common ciphers just in case

OOC: I'm progressively losing my mind...anyone make progress yet?

OOC: I do not now how to progress on this system. I do not believe I would be much help.

OOC: Want me to give a hint?

OOC: I've got nothing, well nothing useful. Every letter replacement thing I found was able to get silly sentences out of them, but nothing good.

OOC: A hint may be helpful, but could ruin the experience we may get from solving this.

Just let us know if we're on the right track. Not an outright hint per se, but something to save our sanity.

OOC: You need to go back to when I said you were close.

OOC: That must mean it's none of the methods we thought up...

Alright, so we went wrong some time after either the binary, or before the binary...

(Curls up into a ball.)

WHY CAN'T I FIGURE IT OUT?!

OOC: It could be because I'm tired, but holy shit you did good with this one...

OOC: I think you started overthinking it at R'n dzgxsrmt blf Pory. it's actually a fairly easy alphabet shift because it's not even an alphabet shift.

OOC: Got it. Sent fucking chills down my spine. Good post op.

(Bolts up.)

GUYS! I've got it! The trick was simpler than anything we were trying.

The code comes to this: I'm watching you Klib.

What did the method of decoding turn out to be?

A=Z . B = Y . C = X . Et cetera.....

Ah, of course...

Alright butterfly, what next? Are you calling somebody out?

Just something for that person to keep in mind.

So, we figured the message out.

(Adjusts glasses.)

I'll let him know if I see him.

OOC: RIP Klib...again...

Loooooore

OOC: Please let this be a normal field trip...

OOC: It's never a normal field trip.
