“I don’t talk trash, I talk smack. They’re totally different. Trash talk is hypothetical, like: Your mom is so fat she can eat the internet. But smack talk is happening like right now. Like: You’re ugly and I know it for a fact ’cause I got the evidence right there.”
Strange and unusual writing in an unknown language, you say? That reeks of Espresso. Though, to be fair, I don’t know if I know enough about it to really bother tampering it down just yet. But I’m starting to formulate a few ideas for No. 7, and I’s little secret side project. A cult of Greek-God Worshipping Elders? That… is… interesting. If the Otherworld is “new,” how did these guys start worshiping Erinys? I’m getting ahead of myself. In any case, we probably need to decipher the meaning of No. 6’s strange scribbles to find this “antekey” thing.
So, first things first, who actually wrote this? It sure as Schitt’s wasn’t No. 6. It could be from Miss. Bad, she does seem to like to leave little omens around. However, every ominous poem Bad’s left us so far has been in English. Convenient. This is in some gobbledygook… mm… roughly Eldritch looking symbols. So, that makes me think this is from the Finfolk themselves. We can assume they have some sort of telepathic/mind-control powers. If so, it’s both very Lovecraftian and also not good, considering we’re right next to a big old body of water.
The good(?) news is that it seems to be a pretty literal prophetic poem. There are these Elder fish creatures that have somehow washed up and out of the Black Tide, and in their little weird fins, they hold the Pearl—one of the four Antekeys we need to open the Antechamber in and at the End. Wherever that is. But first, we need to find where these Finfolk are hiding… and then how we can steal the Pearl from them.
