Forum Curses Entr'acte: Who Am I?

argh i forgot it wasn’t creed now

So was I wrong, or…?

Oops you were right sorry.
Point added, not on cooldown.

i’d like to guess then that it was troy/tavish, due to many facts that could be attributed to the glitch curse and morock’s reaction to his attacker’s voice

  1. troy knows morock and would have a reason to hate him for hurting serena and killing her family, and morock would know troy enough to have a familiar to his voice
  2. the attacker wielded a sword, and the glitch curse in prometheus’s arena was capable of summoning a sword too
  3. the attacker also had an ethanol bottle from dr mahn’s classroom, so they would have to be someone at the school
  4. it all happened, and then just ended suddenly, which seems to be one of the glitch curse’s fortes
  5. morock heard a second voice, so there were two people, and we know tavish and troy are together

one problem with this though is the nature of curses in this universe, that being actual curses instead of powers that can be controlled, though since troy’s curse is attached to a sentient being, it could be possible that he struck a deal with them, or that he was possibly possessed or used by tavish for some reason

Well done, you have found the culprit.

I think you mean The Binary Sword, From Madness Combat

Ignoring the half an hour staring contest in PA, our good friend Tavish enjoys some nice easy murders

Reminds me of the time we were doing distillation in class and my teacher accidentally drank pure ethanol.
He’s doing fine it was just funny.

Well done Bio! Congratulations on solving the third cipher.

Only three more to go.

Points have been given, you are now on cooldown.

There’s more? >:]
Lemme solve em

Each chapter contains a cipher. Chapters 2 (Admittedly “Cipher” is a bit far for this one, but it’s a hidden message) and 4 still have unsolved ciphers.

I’ll give a clue for chapter 2, in one of the C1 sources, I’ve hidden instructions on how to solve it’s puzzle. Chapter 4 may take a bit more work, but clues are hidden in there.

im so lost lmao

Me too, kid.

This part of the new story caught my eye, look closely. You can see words like cry in it, but also ones like TYP and ban. This is most likely the cypher for this story.
