[Game 21] Through The Train

The marbles from each group are inserted into the pupils in each door. The eyes blink, unnervingly, then seal shut. All at once, the lights dim down in each compartment and fade back to quiet darkness . . . though you still see the occasional spark of magic along the windows and edges of the train.

You still have no electricity, and your magic is still dampered.

You can, at least, proceed through, either back or forward along the train. The compartments are arranged in approximately this order:

[#1 - ??? - Open] - [#2 - Sariel's Group] - [#3 - Elluka's Group] - [#4 - Maon's Group] - [#5 - ??? - Open] - [#6 - ???] - [# 7???]

An encoded message. Something that was in plaintext but then was systematically scrambled to become incomprehensible, not just a foreign language or whatever. I found it on the window.

Oh, so it wasn't a name? We have something like that.

I mean, maybe it's a name. What's yours?

Need a heal, before you go give it a look?

I think Sariel's working on something... It's fine though. Mostly it's annoying because it makes it hard to concentrate on the letters.

Well, with whatever interfering with magic I can't say it'd do any more for you than a good field dressing anyway. You're good with ciphers though? That's impressive!

Oh, you think so? ♥

[PERKS UP]

Although I'm not sure why you're so impressed when you didn't even know what they were! But maybe that makes them even more impressive for you! Demons and magic-users use them a lot as like magical... something?

[He laughs.]

Oh I know what a cipher is, the church uses them at times. It just it hadn't occurred to me! Not my usual fare, day to day. The word seemed closer to a name. [WHAT NAMES DOES HE EVEN KNOW] That you have the brain to decode such things is truly splendid!

It's a church thing too, huh... Well! I learned a lot from Lucia and other stuff! I didn't really know very much when I first came here.
