Chap 16 Early Pages - PG19

The key to Vivi's message.

Oh man I spent so long on that decoder, this really challenged my brain. Luckily we were playing Pentiment and that gave us some ideas~ :D (Very interesting game btw!)

Chap 16 Early Pages - PG19

Comments

I went to check Pentimento, it looks really interesting, thank you for the recommendation! To give one back: Chants of Sennaar is absolutely amazing and I think you'll both love it as much as I did.

Beloved Sylphaen

Ooooohhhh this is getting interesting!

OH THAT IS SO COOL 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

I think it more resembles an ancient sun disk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disc Then again, both were built for similar functions, to convey information in the longest-lived, most universal format that was understood at the time, so maybe the resemblance to both is a common thread.

Jamie

Aaaahhhhhhh I can't waaiiiit

Em

Haha, it's a mechanism, so it's not technically solvable from just the information we have. We'll have to wait and see it in action XD

KaiJu

Trying to decode this and wondering if we don't have all the info one would need yet. Is the plan to use plot to have Sherwin decode this or is this an actual workable cipher??

Em

And I just googled “Pentiment” . And now, I who never -ever - plays video games, am tempted to know more… The things this comic does to one’s mind…🧐🤨🤣

polialeks

Fascinating!! I’m not near smart enough to try and decode this so I think I’ll just watch the comments, ha.

Alys

Probably not 🥲 but if not, he will know soon!

Nekochan

It's beautiful! I can't wait to find out how Sherwin found it, what his role is in all of this, how it works, where Vivi and Sesam have been all this time ..... 🥳🥳🥳 So exciting!!!

Missiek43

Does he know she's still alive??

Missiek43

Ooh, how interesting! Those Dendronian scholars sure had some interesting ways to keep secrets. It looks like it fits into something- like it has four screw holes in the corners- or it lines up with something else, like a map or something. The numbers are interesting as well. Now I have a ton more questions though… where did he manage to find this? What kinds of connections does he have? Where is Vivi if she is still alive, and what happened in the past to lead to this point and needing a decoder? I have some ideas based on the few scenes we saw at the end of the last chapter, but I really want to learn more.

Blusalee

because Sulvain hasn't said anything yet , I fully expect for him to just kiss Sherwin at the end of the scene 😁

Iselin

Right?? Hahaha I just picture him being extra stressed out about it

Livi

See, that doesn't help my invasive thought comparing Sherwin to a young Indianna Jones X'D

Sang Steppenwolf

I’m imagining Sherwin pulling off a secret heist. Or stressing over bidding a bunch of money on it at an auction. Why did Vivi have to leave a secret message in the first place?? (Hargrave?) hmmm

Livi

i also can’t help but notice how beautiful sherwin looks smiling I’M SORRY 🫣

Fond Phantom

i see trees, i see hands, is that a dendronian decoder? will sulvain recognize the symbolism? kaiju, you have such big brains. my admiration for you only grows 😮‍💨

Fond Phantom

This is a very good time to be on New Zealand time!!!! 🇳🇿

Peyton

Woooooo let’s gooo! I don’t even know anything about it just that my friend said that it’s good haha, but this is more confirmation

Livi

Same!!!

Peyton

And hopefully it'll lead to a happy reunion!!!

Sang Steppenwolf

No way, I’m about to start playing pentiment

Livi

That plate strongly resembles the golden records onboard Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 🧐🌟🛰️

Peyton

Oooooh now I wanna know what the letter sayssss Also how did he find that? 😮 Sulvain kinda looks relieved. He’ll figure out Vivi’s message soon! 🫶🏻

Nekochan

Duuuuude, that decoder is so beautiful! No wonder Vivi would use that to write messages!
