I'm watching.
I'm watching you scramble, all confused. "But this one is HARD!" "But where do we even START?"
You make me laugh. Call yourselves sorcerers when you can't even identify six of the most well-known magical alphabets in the world?
Time is a-ticking, and skulduggery@harpercollins.co.uk are awaiting your responses EVER so anxiously.
I've decided that if you can't figure out where I am in the next three days, I'm going to kill one of you. Because I know who you are.
And I'm watching.

SECOND
OHMYGOD SECOND.
ANYWAY PEOPLE.
THE FIRST AND LAST SYMBOLS ARE WRITTEN IN ENOCHIAN AND MALACHIM.
R - - , - - O
HOPE THIS HELPS
YOURS IN MAGIC
TORTURA MORAN
Any ideas?
Is this the third clue?
Are we supposed to post what we think the answer is in the comments?
This is the third clue. We have to decipher the symbols. Two of which I have.
Does anyone have a spare magic dictionary that I can borrow?
Okaaaaaaaaay so... Honestly no idea what this is.. I'm Faye by the way:)
Hi Faye :3
Does anyone know if the blue symbol on the end counts?
I think the second one that in the first set of 3 is an "F"
So close to the top O.O
It's Grace. From the forums. Skulduggery Pleasant Forums for more detail. :D
Does Silas talk with an Italian cross with crazy accent? Beacuse time is a-ticking seems pretty awesome in an Italian accent.
And please, if you have to kill someone, make it not me. :)
13
the third symbol looks like Pictish for "F"
yo yo my name is ...
Pinkish! I in pictish or something! that's what it said
Silas is really sad.
He reminds me of Loki.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FABI! TRY IT!
@fateful isn't it I in pictish?
I sent my answer in...
(Star - lol.)
I'M SCREAMING BECAUSE I AM SO CONFUSED
Second symbol. Soz.
The first letter is apparently called Zain
Magical alphabets
He said it was the hardest clue yet but it's only taken us an hour to decipher. Something's wrong.
And yeah.. its pictish.
wait, if it is I and the last letter is X then it might be six!
Yey Fabu! Let's hope we're right!
@Star OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!
I thought the first one was Celestial for 'N'
*cough* im just going to concentrate on what im good at...history
I love how everyone ignores the FIRST first one...
yeah, i saw N as well but it might be something else....
Well, a bunch of other people probably beat me to it. But we'll have to see.
the dot?
The dot-line thing.
@Silente
And the last last one written in blue...
But Silas said 6 languages
but is the line supposed to be there? it kinda looks like a smug..
Brb
@Silente: I know I am.
*nods*
Seriously, it actually makes me sad . . . :/ He acts like he's so, you know, evil and all, but really he's just attention-grabbing . . . it's probably making him smile so much to have us all scrabbling over it.
"Do you toss and turn with all the bridges you've burnt
Or do you feel proud of all the hatred you've earned"
I worked out, using lyrics from a couple of songs, that being hated can actually make people feel better, and I would imagine that Silas gets off on doing things like this because he feels like he's altered the world and that he's made a difference.
Idk. :/ I just makes me sad. I really hope he works out that there are better things in life. You know at the end of the Inheritance Cycle, when Eragon wants Galbatorix to UNDERSTAND? Yeah . . . I wish I could do magic like Eragon. :/
Also, thanks, btw, Derek/Silas. You've given me more source material on the workings of the brains of people like Silas. :)
I think maybe we have to take the letters from different alphabets!
The 5th symbol, the X with a vertical line through it, looks like a cyrillic letter, and the one before that maybe greek?
Just my guess :3
Yeah. You people are all like "LET'S TAKE THE CLUES AND DO MATHS AND RESEARCH TO BEAT THE SERIAL KILLER!" and I'm like "LET'S TAKE THE CLUES AND ANALYSE THE SERIAL KILLER!" XD
true....
Ψ looks Grecian. I'm almost certain it's psi, but it could easily be M or P or something...?
SHERLOCKIANS
NOW'S OUR CHANCE TO PROVE OURSELVES
Yeah but analysis is fun for you star XD
@Silente: Yes. XD
Like I said, I have massive motivational issues. :P
Yeah but they're awesome Stat.
The second is called nun and having a quick look I saw someone say it was an n, the 3rd is doop speak or something and is an e so. Also I'm looking at it as 2 sets of three with the trident being the dot or something as it also means ps, but just my opinion
hmm... I thought I was going to say something but I forgot
first letter- N?
second letter-I or E?
third letter- X, P, Ps
Forth- T or H
fifth- W
Sixth- O
Is this what we have so far?
So how is everyone?
Im out of sorts today
damn those springer spaniels I was dealing with...*mutters*
Holly kept escaping...
@Flick YOU HAD STAR LOCKED UP?!
I have the last three as T W O but which one are you counting as the first as I have the N and E but for the second and third letter?
hehe no
there was this blumin springy springer spaniel called holly
we washed her and she seemed ok...until we had to repeatedly take out scarlet, her pen-mate
She kept escaping and it took all my energy to push her back into the pen
@Silente: :)
And - XD
@Inky: How dare you lock me up? :P
Allright...
I guess that "6 magical alphabets" is a clue. Obviously.
So you have to take 6 alphabets to find out what it means.
Number 3 Looks like the greek PSI, Number 4 Looks like the russian ZH and number 6 could be the japanese RE. Doesn't make much sense, though...
Phew! Got worried for minute there ;P
She want to be free!
I have NEΨTWO...
@Inky: Sorry. :(
I will be a good doggy next time. :)
hehe XD
@Lucifer NIXTWO
I'm still going with Fabi's theory.
Not that I've done anything . . .
#motivationalissuesthatIcan'tbebotheredfixingwhichisprobablybecauseIhavemotivationalissuesandthinkingthatIdoprobablymakesthemworsebutmeh
NIXTWO would make sense with what I've got...!
But I'm not 100% certain if it's correct...
Maybe it's an anagram.
@Lucifer NIX being zero and TWO being two...
^^Yup dat's Fabi's theory.
I know. I'm a linguist, man. I'm just... There are a couple of ways this could end up, I'm just trying to be open about possibilities.
I'm also shattered.
He might be in either Eastern US, Central Asia, or the middle of the ocean if you use 39.04 and 115 as X and Y on the map
Hmm has anyone heard of the sing 'secrets' by the pierces
I got the coordinates of a Chinese supermarket...
Why is he in Nevada?
i got Nevada!
But I don't really know how to plug in the numbers..
(Dugglyn - Area 51? Or Las Vegas. :P)
Area 51 would be...interesting
I got Nevada if the second coordinate was west, China if it was east.
The Nevada one was middle-of-nowhere, though, so I went with the China one.
That would be really weird!
It is located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (134 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a large military airfield. The base's current primary purpose is publicly unknown; however, based on historical evidence, it most likely supports development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems.[9] The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore.[10][11] Although the base has never been declared a secret base, all research and occurrings in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI).[10] In July 2013, following a FOIA request filed in 2005, the Central Intelligence Agency publicly acknowledged the existence of the base for the first time by declassifying documents detailing the history and purpose of Area 51
WAIT!
But thats the problem! Why would Silas use XYZ?? Its only X and Y! So maybe the last two digits are... N, S, E, or W!
Yeah, that's what i got Fabi but i think he might want to be in the middle of nowhere! Might be easy to hide....
But it's easier to blend in with a crowd...
I got ri-eao? Why is everyone's so different?D:
makes a triangle then maybe try the centre..
Less people to kill in the middle of nowhere, though.
What's the going theory here?
I find your logic amusing.
Elleni, good idea but the final clue is the decimal point to -115, the second co-ordinate.
At least that's what i though......
In two hours I can give you all a definite answer on the letters.
I go geocaching XD
OH...
True Fabi....
But we still dont know if its North, South, East, or West...
Hey Viv...
(If he's in the middle of nowhere he could be BURYING a body.)
He doesnt need to bury bodies, remember?
I love all of our theories about why he's in the middle of no where! XD
Guys...
..remember Viv is probably reporting back.
Hello everyone.
hmmmmmmmmm
well i think the order it 39.04, -115.?? but you're right, we don't know what direction..
Hey Chi!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'm gonna go now......
See you!
Bye Fabi!
byii fabi
Bye Fabi!!!! Thanks for your help!!!!!!
#tryingtobalanceononelegwhile paintingmynailsblack
(If I were going to kill someone I wouldn't bury them in the middle of the street...)
Hey Chi!
*tacklehugs*
(Hey)
Maybe...
How would you bury some one in the middle of the street?
Silas Nadir hid the bodies in different dimensions, remember?
*steps away from Viv, face hardening*
yeah.
ugh, i have to go soon!
...?

(Something may or may not happen here to do with Vivilente)
(WHAT. WHY. WE DIDNT EVEN SOLVE CLUE 3 YET! D:)
*looks at him with hard eyes*
oooh roleplay time? how entertaining
I dont understand any of this! What magical alphabets???
(Wait. Is this continuing from where Erica had been knocked unconscious and such?)
(Inky, are you gonna tey to solve it?)
(Because there have been developments.)
(Since when??)
(nope, im no good at this sorta thing)
(Since about 10 minutes ago. And this has nothing to do with Erica)
You have 5 minutes to explain yourself over email Viv. Go.
(Oh, Silas...)
Inks, can I have your email if you dont mind?
ok, gtg. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BYE DUGGLYN D:
(@El You have no idea.)
(Because I was thinking that Sophia had just rang the person who could draw symbols on Erica so she couldn't use her magic anymore and yeah.)
byii Dugg
(?)
Thanks!
Three minutes gone.
*Pounces on top of Ellie's head*
Hey everyone :3

*Is cuddled*
*Runs a weak electric current across his skin*

He can explain anytime he wants. But its over.

He screwed up.
*walks past El*

*Scampers over to Inky*
*paws at her head playfully*
(ok)

*growls at the cat*
Beat. It. Cat

(He's not entirely a cat, my profile picture (Thanks to Ellie) is exactly what he looks like right now (doesn't show the tail though))
Go to hell.
*stalks away quicker*
*ignoring the emotional turmoil going on inside*
*sighs*
Alright, what the hell are you lot arguing over now?
(hehe okay :) in actual life, I like baka nekko yokai...probably becuaase of the anime nura rise of the yokai clan)
*Ignores the warning and rolls onto his back, still pawing at her playfully*

*pulls at his ears*

@Leitrim: Well, that's what you have to work out. :)
(Internet, I'm reckoning.)
