Fragment Sixteen - The Book of Briars

[Deyavi]

Hey, welcome to the party, just in time to save the day, Boss

[Robert]

Thanks @Bash. Okay, I’m an hour overdue taking my turn with the kiddo. One of you will figure this out. I have complete faith.

[Tinker]

If you count spaces and punctuation, 5-18-24 is m-r-s…maybe more promising than just letters?

[Mr5yy]

Thank you!

[Deyavi]

Maybe try without spaces?

[Tinker]

Okay, so going on just the first couple letters, no spaces or punctuation is yhy, no spaces yes punctuation is yts, yes spaces yes punctuation is mrs

[Griffin]

So preferably we use the latter then?

[Tinker]

That’s what I’m leaning towards…

[Sellalellen]

Mrs sounds like a thing

[Griffin]

Well, to be blunt, it’s a word Sel

[Sellalellen]

That too

[cheyyyme]

[Augustus_Octavian]

I believe it’s an abbreviation.

[Griffin]

Touché.

[OracleSage]

Mrs… Memories?

[Deyavi]

I… actually, I think I was wrong… and also right.

If you take the first letter of the 5th, 18th, and 24th words, not counting the letters individually, it reads

THE

SO maybe it is words.

[Griffin]

Ah-ha!

[Tinker]

Next letter would be a i think…

Also does anyone know of a way to locate a character in a document by number? Because like, 30 characters is or whatever is manageable…but I feel like I’d mess something up getting into the 2000s…

[Sellalellen]

Can we maybe get some people on letters and some on words? I would help solve but I’m baking at the moment.

[Griffin]

Just the 2000s?
