Fragment Sixteen - The Book of Briars

never know.

I’m getting more upset that Deirdre left for her, admittly well earned and deserved, pizza date with Cole instead of helping us out

[Deyavi]

It won’t be that hard to figure out, but I don’t have digital copies of the pages on my mobile.

On second thought, I don’t think it’s words… it’s not long enough.

[Ravenwing]

Letters?

[Sellalellen]

Individual letters. Lovely.

[Robert]

Alright, I don’t have a copy of the text anywhere nearby, just some grainy images and I’m going blind counting letters.

If someone takes the documents, and uses letter count feature of most word processing programs to count letters it should be easy to figure out I guess.

Keep it simple. It could be a thousand 'could be’s. Just count the letters. I’m pretty sure that’s it.

[Tinker]

That seems legit…Do we have all the pages somewhere?

Edit: And do we think it’s starting from the beginning of the forward, or the start of the text?

[Robert]

Of course… Even if we count the letters in the story based on the roman numerals. What the hell does that have to do with the foreward?

Edit : Oh, Tinker figured it out. Start counting with the foreward.

"For my dearest girl.

This was your favorite story the last time I saw you.You would have me read it to you every night before bed. Do you remember?

Memory, after all, is a very funny friend.

Sometimes he loses the fondest of thoughts and sometimes the saddest he holds onto forever. I hope that he has kept for you more fond memories than not, and I hope that I am somewhere with you, in a memory held tight.

The way things are can’t be undone, only perhaps rewritten someday. The corvids have come and gone. It’s time to leave the glade.

For now, I go to a place where you can’t.

But I am always your caterpillow, and you are my ant."

Heres what Deeds posted

[Augustus_Octavian]

Maybe the forward plus the story pages?

Edit: Tinker already came up with this idea.

[Tinker]

Right, so I’m thinking tack this on to the start of the story, and use that whole thing to count…

[Robert]

So if I count right. Letters 5, 18, 24 in this are yhy…which means nothing

[Mr5yy]

Should we use the rest of the words we have left?

[Tinker]

Are we doing spaces and punctuation as characters?

[Griffin]

Of course a flitnerforge saves the day

[Augustus_Octavian]
