The Silver City | Jo/Michael/God

@loyalty-bound

This was Heaven, the city of light, the final destination that most everybody hoped for after death, but Jo found herself extremely unhappy. She’d reconnected with her father, managed to meet a few friends and family who had died before her, but it wasn’t enough. 

Jo knew she was supposed to be happy, but she missed Lucifer deeply. They’d finally admitted their feelings for each other, she’d finally told him she loved him... just in time to have her life snatched away. The worst part is... she knew it was her own fault. She didn’t handle the kidnapping and torture well, and in the end, it had cost her her own life.

She’d been told of the viewing fountains, of the way to look down on her friends still on Earth. She had avoided it at first, not wanting to see her remaining friends and family still mourning her but... she missed him too much.

Making her way to one of the fountains, she sat down on the edge and dipped her fingers into the water. Her mind drifted to Lucifer and it took only a moment for her reflection to fade and Lucifer to take it’s place. What she’d been hoping to be a comforting image only caused her more pain as she took in the sight of the man she loved obviously still in pain. Surrounded by liquor bottles, passed out on the couch... it didn’t take long to see that he was a mess.

“Oh, Lucifer,” she breathed softly, tears gathering in her eyes. “Luce, sweetie, no...”

Bloodied and Bruised || @loyalty-bound

     Uriel looks up when he hears footsteps approach him, wincing a little. He shifted his weight, then adjusted himself so he was sat up. “What are you doing here?” He wiped his bloodied hand on his robes, and grimaces a little. His sword sits by his side, the usually stainless steel tinged with black blood. “Everything is fine, nothing more than a few cuts and bruises...”

Hazlenut ==> Summarize

At first wh3n th3 blog was start3d, my fri3nd Spl3nda (computationalLikeness) put out a call to solv3 a cod3 so that w3 could us3 Sburb! Wh3n w3 finally got th3 h3lp to load th3 gam3, Spl3nda had m3 3nt3r first. I 3nt3r3d, and prototyp3d a plush of Spl3nda and start3d 3xploring my land. I found that th3r3 was a door in a shrin3 looking thing that I could not und3rstand th3 t3xt for. I think it was in an old3r form of our languag3 that w3 originally switch3d around our l3tt3rs from. It said “light th3 fir3.” I figur3d that it was r3f3rring to a larg3 candl3 right outsid3 th3 shrin3. I lit th3 candl3 and I 3nt3r3d through th3 door! Wh3n I w3nt through, th3r3 w3r3 giant b33tl3 looking things that hoist3d m3 up in th3 air and r3joicing! I actually ran away a bit 3mbarrass3d… For a whil3, Spl3nda and th3 oth3rs r3main3d unr3sponsiv3, until I got to talk to Ambrosia and shortly aft3r, Spl3nda 3nt3r3d!

ξ, a representation of our existence. We are gifted this existence from our creators of the world before us. Crafted by the players.

β, the roof over our heads and our gifts of nature. We are thankful that we have enough food to gather and survive.

α, our guardians that watch over us and protect us. For without them, we would not have the skills we need to protect our loved ones.

I found this book... I think that this might h3lp us with my door… Th3 hi3roglyphics and such… Som3on3 on P3st3rchum said that it might b3 a k3y3d ciph3r… But I don’t know what to do with that…

LF: Ah... Okay... I'll do that...

LF: Okay... I hav3 th3 program running...

CL: 1 shall be c0nnect1ng t0 y0u presently.

CL: 1 supp0se that's a g00d th1ng, g1ven that y0u are st1ll al1ve.

CL: There 1s a v1ew1ng mechan1sm bu1lt 1nt0 th1s pr0gram.

CL: 1t all0ws me t0 have a sem1-0mn1sc1ent v1ew 0f y0ur ab0de.

LF: ...

CL: 1 was referenc1ng y0ur att1re, by the way.

LF: W3ll, okay... I'd hop3 that th3 bathroom is c3nsor3d...

CL: As such, 1've created a number 0f analyt1cal pr0grams t0 pr0v1de me w1th feeds 0n certa1n 1nf0rmat10n.

LF: R3ally? You can do that?

CL: And n0, n0ne 0f the areas are cens0red, that w0uld defeat the purp0se 0f 0mn1sc1ence.

LF: ... W3ll th3n... L3ts start alr3ady...

CL: 1 can 1ndeed create pr0grams. 1 cann0t man1pulate the game 1tself but 1 can c0llect and analyze the data 1t 0utputs.

CL: There are a few 1tems 1 need t0 depl0y.

LF: Okay, what do I do with th3m?

CL: 1've depl0yed what appears t0 be called a "cruxtruder", wh1ch t0 my understand1ng requ1res 0pen1ng.

LF: Okay!

CL: There 1s als0 an alchem1ter wh1ch w1ll pr0v1de y0u w1th means t0 surv1ve.

CL: Y0u must use the T0tem Lathe 1 have just depl0yed t0 carve a crux1te d0wel fr0m the cruxtruder.

LF: Okay 0.0

CL: N0w, take the carved d0wel 0ver t0 the Alchem1ter and actually 0pen the cruxtruder.

CL: 0nce y0u have 0pened sa1d cruxtruder, a wh1t1sh 0rb sh0uld emerge sem1-tr1umphantly.

LF: Wow! That looks so cool!

LF: Can I touch it?

CL: 1 rec0mmend y0u 1gn0re 1ts v1ct0r10us act10ns and s1mply thr0w s0meth1ng 0f 1nterest 1nt0 1t.

LF: >< Wow...

CL: N0w, take that crux1te d0wel and make an 1tem w1th the Alchem1ter.

CL: 0nce y0u d0 the 0bv10us act10n w1th the 1tem, y0u w1ll enter the "med1um" and w1ll be safe fr0m any mete0rs headed y0ur way.

LF: ok...

CL: F0r 1nstance, y0u w0uld c0nsume an apple, 0r spray perfume, etc..

2nd Hexcode Segment.

Here’s what s0me0ne subm1tted t0 me, 1t seems r1ght f0r the f1rst part, but 1 w0n’t kn0w t1ll we get the wh0le th1ng… s0…

[cipher2part1]be by their side

-computationalLikeness

alright, the second segment of hexcode in the 2nd cipher was a quote from ullyses, but with a bunch of letters thrown in, put in reverse, and encoded in to hexcode, all together it spelled "bebytheirside" or, 'be by their side' which might mean something? not sure.
