4C CALLSIGNS AU

|| THE STATIC PLAYS {letsplay channel} ||

[ccccallsigns-au]

Through the static, a listener...

Welcome to Callsigns.

This sacred space cast in static grey, silent as dead air, holds three. A trio of ids birthed from the frequency of their Psyche. They have already told their story once, but circumstance has come to stir them again.

A message has been received, encoded in numbers. Who is it for? How has it come? What does it mean?

Who will answer the call?

With the formal welcome aside, I'm pleased to introduce CCCCallsigns to the world. For anyone unaware or new, this is an AU somewhat loosely based on Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium by Chonny Jash. Emphasis on loosely; these are my toys! The AU explores the concept of numbers stations and radio transmissions.

As for who I am? Shouldn't be a difficult guess~ This pinned post functions [...will function.] as the post directory and serve to put content more properly in order. Also here will be the main references for the Guys and maybe their items.

IN THIS AU: Heart -> Hertz (uses parentheses) Mind -> Morse [uses brackets] Soul -> Static {uses curly brackets} Transmission -> | USES VERTICAL BARS |

if I may ask, do you play the piano yourself to make those covers?

nouuuu I own FL Studio and i synthesize everything. I'm not proficient in any instrument; best I can do is a little bit of janky ass guitar.

I can Sing, however. as people are recently discovering :3

[ccccallsigns-au]

Just a quick ask, when cipher week is done are you going to release all the messages decoded?

Mostly asking because I’m real dumb and couldn’t figure any of them out but am so curious ;-;

y'know what, i sure can. as a treat ^^

[ccccallsigns-au]

only tangentially related but. once Cipher Week is over, who wants me to release all my images of Static ? like, all in one place. make a big lineup of them so you can see just how much torture i've had to withstand LOL. it takes something out of you to draw nothing but the same guy dozens of times for several months

i'd sure enjoy doing it! let me know if thats something you'd be interested in seeing

[ccccallsigns-au]

will the id-missing page be restored to how it was b4 ever at all :(

you can find the old version on the wayback machine! i always try to save pages i intend on changing.

[ccccallsigns-au]

CIPHER WEEK - DAY SIX !!

* {This one is very familiar to me.} * {I'd prefer if it stayed a secret.}

{STATIC} wants you to {the audience} decode this encrypted message! You are permitted to use any tools available to you, but {STATIC} would be happy if you showed your work! You have until JUN 10 to complete this task! When you are finished and believe you have decoded this cipher, submit your answers directly through the askbox.

{Most of you didn't need the hint, but only 5 of you solved this one as intended. I guess that's how the cookie usually crumbles for decryption!} {I hope I'm not scaring you away with these ciphers... are they too challenging ? I wish I'd made this a little easier for everyone.}

{I'll be back with today's challenge soon. Only 2 left to go !}

[ccccallsigns-au]

y'know what. change of plans. Callsigns admin needs a mental health day. badly. I can't force myself to work when I feel like shit, or I'll develop an aversion to the work I do for this blog.

We will see you again Tomorrow. This will give me time to rest and relax and also an extra 20 hours or so to work. This will push the end of Cipher Week back a day. Rearrange your calendars; I sure will be !

I apologize for switching things up on such short notice, but also. I have to take care of myself. And that comes before Callsigns. Thank you all for your flexibility.

[ccccallsigns-au]

callsigns admin chronic oversleeper or critically overworked, take your guesses

expect today's posts late again. esimated post time 5pm est

[ccccallsigns-au]

Is the starsoul site taken down? I can't enter it for some reason

it really really really shouldn't be, and it doesn't appear to be on my end. do you have the right link ?

for your hyperlink pleasures. if this still doesn't work for you, it might be on your end.

[ccccallsigns-au]

* {SO ! A couple of you asked me to give you a hint.} * {I will deliver on that hint, and give you an extra day to submit !}

YOUR FREE HINT IS :

{Hope this helps!}

You now have until JUN 6 to submit your answer for DAY 5

{Good luck to everyone! Let's get back into it with the next challenge tomorrow!}

[ccccallsigns-au]

CIPHER WEEK - DAY FIVE !!

* {Today's answer is close to an important date for me....} * {ACTUALLY ! Pretend I didn't say that.}

{Since this one might be difficult, I will allow you guys to ask for ONE HINT if you need it.}

{STATIC} wants you to {the audience} decode this encrypted message! You are permitted to use any tools available to you, but {STATIC} would be happy if you showed your work! You have until JUN 5 to complete this task! When you are finished and believe you have decoded this cipher, submit your answers directly through the askbox.

Have fun !

[ccccallsigns-au]

{So glad everyone did well!}

{The answer was a little ambiguous about whether it was fourteen or fifteen, which was on me. It's fifteen. So anyone who managed to decode the rhyme, I gave it to you!}

{We aren't done yet! See you soon with today's cipher!}
