[Oracle is on your airwaves, using a voice distortion to make a call on all imPorts.]

Seeing the posts here, we have all received some form of message. A cipher. I want to decode it. We need to.

What message have you received?

[OOC EDIT: Per the recent OOC Mod Post, and a response to my question to them on plurk, the thread that previously held the solution and discussion about it has been deleted. I apologize to those that had commented in these threads, but this post's aim is to begin the IC discussion process. I look forward to future posts that will reflect the solution in game!]

You're the one who brought fetishes into this. Sorry, I'm taken. Don't worry, I won't watch you cry yourself to sleep in disappointment.

What way? A dumbass?

Sure, when walking away doesn't damage you. It's a basic risk-reward calculation: If this is a big deal, it would impact all imPorts, including you, so you'd benefit from knowing about it. High risk. But if you don't share, and nobody figures it out and it's important, you're as fucked as everybody else.

It's basic self-interest. It's like charging someone to fix your leg when it's broken. You're just being dumb.

[golisolation]

pls get ovr urself urs boys taken 2
u aint worth no1s tears least of all mine

look kid i kno what this is i kno the danger & the risk but i aint interested in givin nothin 4 free & if a better chance @ solvin this aint worth shit 2 yall then fine by me

i welcome destruction in all forms yo

[hatestrashcans]

Really? Who's bothering with you? I'd like to know so I can ask them about their stupidity fetish.

Aren't you a little old to be that edgy? It's just sad.

[golisolation]

ill leave that as another puzzle 4 u 2 solve

nothin sad w/ knoin what ur abt man

[hatestrashcans]

Okay. I'll figure out who on my next day off.

It's sad when all you're 'about' is pissing people off.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun and useful, but not an end in and of itself.

[golisolation]

good luck w/ that

& if thats what u think im abt then thats on u for thinkin 2 small

[hatestrashcans]

Yeah, shapeshifter. I'm pretty good at spying, yo.

Destruction and chaos? Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.

[golisolation]

so ur a creep good 2 kno

sure

[obediences]

[ This thread is driving him crazy. Luther hops in. ]

To the point. What kind of payment are you after? How do we know you actually have a clue and you're not just making this up?

[golisolation]

finally askin the real questions

as 4 proof if u look below @ my idiot grunt tupp he gave 1 of the clues away w/o thinkin but it aint mine

im way more interested n what ppl r willin 2 offer for it i aint particularly hurtin 4 nothin atm

[forgeabettertomorrow]

only members of team skull got clues?

[golisolation]

seems so aint seen no1 else get ne

[forgeabettertomorrow]

well thats an interesting commonality

anyway with the hint your boy dropped I think I can figure this thing out so I doubt Ill need yours

[golisolation]

it is aint it?

yeah well good luck w/ that

[Tupp is gonna get a beatdown...]

[obediences]

Unfortunately, I don't really have much to offer. I'm not rich here.

[ He's not in a good bargaining position, and he knows it, and doesn't like it. ]

Free moving services probably wouldn't cut it, I'm guessing?

[golisolation]

moving services u mean like helpin me move to a new crib or something???

[It also doesn't help that Guzma's loaded because of some SHADY DEALS. He really meant it when he said he wasn't hurting for nothing right now.]

[obediences]

Yeah, exactly that. [ He can't tell if Guzma's skeptical or if the guy's actually intrigued by the offer. It's so hopelessly banal, but— ]

And with no questions asked, I guess. I have superstrength and I can teleport anywhere with an elevator. Means I can lug all your furniture and belongings pretty easily and quickly.

[golisolation]

[Alright, that just cracks Guzma up, he thought he was pulling his chain, but...nope, this guy is for real.]

nah dude im settled & happy where i am but props 4 tryin

but i gotta ask do u specifically need an elevator to teleport? that seems kinda wack

[forgeabettertomorrow]

not a fight youre gonna win man just let sleeping dogs lie on this one trust me

[hatestrashcans]

Yeah I don't think he has the IQ to understand what's going on.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

wrong

theres a difference between acting stupid and actively being stupid

Hes got no incentive to help us and not everyone is a team player

some of us have our own agendas

just because hes not helping doesnt mean hes stupid just means its not worth it to him to help at the moment

Private

[hatestrashcans]

I know. I act stupid all the time.

[ Might as well admit it. ]

But he does have an incentive. Whatever this is is about imPorts, and he's a fucking imPort.

Re: Private

[forgeabettertomorrow]

youre assuming he cares enougn about this world to truly want to involve himself

remember we talked about perspectives? Different sides of conflict?

His clue could be beneficial as beneficial to him as it is to all of us and hes under no obligation to help us

Is it messed up? Sure

But threatening the guy openly is literally what he wants. Its a show.

Just trust me on this one. If push really came to shove hed make a stand because fighting is what the guy's best at

Re: Private

[hatestrashcans]



Okay, point.

You know him. I don't.



[ That's not 'different sides of conflict', but Marco realizes now isn't the time for that. ]

Re: Private

[forgeabettertomorrow]

just remember my rule of thumb: Loudest people always have the most to hide
