[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!]

Not particularly. I retain the most vital part of the clue, I don't care what you learn about me personally.

But if the chap above me is correct and you do have other contacts then you are proving yourself a far leakier vessel than I by offering to sell your precious information.

[golisolation]

the "chap" above u werent rite neither so i aint leakin nothin dude

also when did i say i WOULD sell it huh? i just said i aint doin somethin 4 nothin i havent even named a price have i?

[leatherboots]

You're showing off about having an additional piece to this puzzle. You're offering to sell it for monetary gain. And you're not being very discrete about it, either.

Consider that our friends may very well see you doing this and will not give you further information if they suspect you cannot be trusted to retain it. I know I certainly wouldn't. You've shot yourself in the foot, my friend - that piece of information may very well be your last.

again i havent offered 2 sell nethin at all i asked was what ppl thought it was worth 2 them thats it idiot

but u think 2 small y give us a piece of the puzzle & a hint 2 decode it if they aint wantin us 2 solve it huh? clearly they expect us 2 play along 2 some extent

[leatherboots]

If you're correct then that would also imply "they" want those with the additional keys to unlock the mystery, not those without.

[golisolation]

thats assumin they got faith in us 2 solve it alone
mayb theyre just trustin us 2 have enuf sense 2 kno who 2 give it 2
either way if our benefactor wanted us 2 solve it theydve given us all the pieces between u me & tupp since were the only 1s w/ the decodin keys yet they didnt

Well, I don't know about you but I'd sooner eat my own boots than share my clue with the general populace, especially as we don't know what all this is in aid of. That fellow DID say the Apocalypse would come in early October...

Show me your clue before you sell it? Keep the money, I don't particularly care, but perhaps we should be allies. I'll show you mine, of course. We can even meet in person, if you like.

[golisolation]

i feel u there idgaf abt any of these losers thats y there aint no price given cuz i kno some1 would b able 2 afford it im just fuckin w/ em & if this is the beginnin of the end then w/e

but allies huh? that aint sounding 2 bad but i gotta wonder y unless ur like me & are charmed by similar foulness huh?
meetin up makes the most sense imo name a time & place and ur boyll b there yo

[leatherboots]

I do really like my boots, they're quite good quality. Eating them would be a shame.

My reasons are my own. But suffice to say, being on this side is far, far more exciting.

How soon can you be in at this location?

[Well then, Guzma's never been out that way, but he does know that there's a porter city out that way...]

but shit sure is out there huh? shouldnt be a prob tho gimme a couple hours got some loose ends 2 tie w/ this mess + travel time from jeopardy but I got a ride that should make it quick enuf

[leatherboots]

Wonderful. You'll find a large metal box there, simply tap on it three times and I'll know you've arrived.

Oh! By the way. Considering who we are and what we're talking about, I'm sure I can't trust you in the slightest not to be an ass about all this. But trust me when I say that if you try anything stupid then I'll happily drop you into the fucking sun.

If you have any similar threats to send my way, now's the time to issue them. I'll completely understand.

[golisolation]

[Needless to say, Guzma's respect for Rupert just skyrocketed. This is the type of dude he can get on with, honestly.]

word

[leatherboots]

We can do the whole "I'll scratch your back etc etc" thing all day long but if you're anything like me then the back-scratching could very well come from the blade of a knife. We're allies, not idiots.

Crushing, vermin, destruction in human form, noted! Adieu for now.
