WELCOME TO THE DARK WEB.
Who: Spock and anyone interested in the aforementioned technology plot.
Where: Mostly around the port, because you have to really lean into the Gothic Romance of it.
What: Local nerds build a computer and a system of their own to exercise privacy online for everyone with mixed results.
Warnings: TBD. None so far, unless you want to count Spock veering into poeticisms inevitably in metatext.
[ chances are, if you're curious, you've been seeing a handful of ciphers cropping up around aldrip.
they start in places most chosen would frequent, spiral out to areas more remote in the coming days. but, no matter which ones you encounter, they all seem to written in the same hand. the words, if you can call them that, are jumbled in such a way that it looks impossible to unknot at first. but, there's a odd weight across some of these... messages? the letters look strange and, comparing them over time, you'll find a key.
curious, indeed. someone likes vigenère ciphers.
what it shakes out to is a set of coordinates that will lead you squarely to an abandoned warehouse by the pier, a date, and a time. if you're compelled to go on your own, you might find some of your fellows waiting around with you. if you're not? well, maybe you can take a friend just in case.
either way, you'll get your answers one way or another. ]
( ooc: HELLO FRIENDS. first and foremost, please see the comments and the sub-comments below for week blocking and organizational efforts. if you would like to summon me into your comment, just put spock in the subject line or ping me directly on plurk at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
askefise or on discord! i'm usually around in some capacity or another.
other than that: have fun! if you need me to help you brainstorm why your blorbo would show up or how, i'm here for you. time for totally fun and normal times that will not end in any abnormal way whatsoever on the 19th. )

I've literally had this tab open to tag you for 11 days feel free to disregard if you want LFGHD
so of course he's a little tense as he arrives next to Matt, purely out of coincidence.]
Perhaps further in?
[. . . there's a short silence, before he asks:]
For curiosity's sake, do you have anything to defend yourself with?
[he has his gun tucked away on him, as he usually does these days...]
no worries at all!!
[ he says this in response to the defense question, as if it's a proper answer. Of course it isn't. But it's a deflection. Of course he has something to defend himself with. He may be blind, but he's not a fool. ]
Can I reply on you?
no subject
Yeah, you can. I'll make sure you don't get hurt, if anything happens.
[not that he'll be able to run... but he's got other avenues.]
no subject
[ yeah no, but you know what it's good to seem like you need help. That makes people's defenses lower. ]
Do you have any idea what all of this is about?
no subject
[he starts to walk into the warehouse now.]
But there was someone talking in cipher on the network not too long ago. I was curious to see if it was linked to them in some way.
[nothing yet... he'll take out his gun, anyway.]
no subject
What was that cipher about?
no subject
Basically to see if other people knew them. If they'd be auto-translated, like some of the other languages around here.
It wasn't, for some reason.
