& I didnt break the shit in there dont blame me

Is this where you saw the humming girl?

ya if she comes in just like let her do her thing

or yell at her & learn to live with no eardrums its fun

This isn't fucking funny, Robin.

But thank you

what made you think that was a fuckin joke

Also possibly don't fight in front of her. Not sure exactly what set her off.

Maybe just Robin and Chris in general. They have that effect.

Morgana fucking le Fay!

Good luck, Tess. Be safe.

Thanks, Cricket. You too.

We're going to find them.

We think if we get the right ones turned on and off it'll solve a puzzle up here in Astronomy. Transfiguration is [...] Hydra? Make sure it's off.

June on, everything else off?

What's happenin in Astro?

That's the plan.

Not a lot. We're mostly sticking around to see if we can see whatever's on the ceiling.

Ok. We'll turn it off.

[...]

~~Can you t~~

[...]

I love you guys.

It's going to be alright, Cricket. We know what we're trying to do now.

~~Sort of~~ Yeah

You're right.

So, what's with the letters? Are we thinking a cipher?

Did anyone else see the ley lines?

I thought those were underground?

Well ... ley lines are usually invisible. They don't take up [...] physical space. But they intensify magic.

I thought they ran near Gooseberry but when we were in the Div tower we saw lines in the mist, from Azurcrest to Ebonhide and Ribbonfin to Coppertale (I think).

[A rough sketch of the camps and the lines]

There's a telescope in Astronomy, I'll write you when we've tried it.

Thanks, Quinn

[Quinn responds with her own sketch of what she can see through the Astronomy telescope, which is... "rough" in every sense of the word. She's not an artist.]

I think the numbers are randomly assigned digits 0-9. Some people have puzzle boxes with clues on them, so we'll have to figure out what the code is before they can open them. But people have been finding letter clues all over the place. Just keep an eye out, I guess?

Got it.

[...]

Goodness, y'all write so much.

"SHe ReMiNDS THiS TeaCHeR oF HiMSeLF. i See iT Too."

Are they all like this?

Definitely a cipher.

I've got a box with number input, need to figure out how to turn my letters into numbers.

What's your clue?

"He TRieD To SCaRe HeR WHeN i SLePT. You Too. WHo FouND HeR?"

You is me, and he is Brother. I think the answer is Nate.

[A tear drop that is quickly wiped away]

You're 'her' and 'you'?

I think I'm the "you", because Brother sure as fuck chased me. And Dimi's clue was addressed to him in particular, so since I found it, I think I'm "you".

I wasn't sure who "her" was, except someone else that Brother scared. But Nate did find that freshman that said "he" was following her. And "Nate" has four letters like my puzzle box.

You too.

I'll see you soon, okay?

You will. Just as soon as we find them all.

Puzzles are fun, I guess.

I mean not in this context, but in general. So light-fussing.

[Cricket]
How are you? I'm in Aesthetic Magic with Dom and Milo.

I wish Nate were here. I mean, I don't

But, y'know.

[Cricket/Ree]

Bad. He's alone in this place, Ree.

Are you okay?

I know.

[Cricket/Ree]
I know. I know. I'm trying not to think about it too hard because if I think about it I won't be able to do anything but freak out, you know?

We're going to get them back. All of them. We are.

We are.

I know.

Deep breaths. I love you so much, Ree.

Talk soon?

I'm doing ok. I promise. I met a weird scary corpse thing that sounded kinda like a crow which is a bird and now I've got some blue paint, so you know, I kind of feel like it's looking a lot better on my end than most people's. I like birds. I like paint.

Don't worry about me, you just take care of you. I love you too. So much. And I know we can do it.

Soon. Tell me if you need me in any way. I'll keep checking.
