An interesting fact about substitution ciphers is that they often have a key word or phrase. If you know that, you can solve the cipher. Sometimes the key is meaningless. Sometimes not.

I sometimes get this strong feeling that this school is really just about the mystery solving. Like, it could probably even be an actual class here. Everyone would sign up.

And the only thing at stake would be our grades.

It's nothing if not single minded, I guess.

[lovelacing]

At least it is predictable in what it wants.

[ninjaleo]

Which is us. No thanks.

[lovelacing]

Maybe someone should have a conversation about consent with it.

Aw man I missed a creepy cryptograph? Weak.

[lovelacing]

Better luck next time.

[tyhawkeswood]

So much no. That is totally creepy.

[lovelacing]

Agreed. It is one thing to say it straight, and another to hide it.

[whatsthescoop]

Like it wasn't creepy enough before.

[lovelacing]

Indeed.

Anon hasn't acted out to these extremes before this year. I wonder why they're suddenly so concerned about us leaving?

[lovelacing]

A good question, and maybe the key to understanding everything.
