un: vogel | German text Around Fragment

[insinning]

Has anyone else been finding pieces of German text around Fragment?

I can help with translating them if you need it. I don't know if I'm the best at it but these haven't been too hard... [So says the actual fluent German speaker]

This is what has been found so far:

[From Akatsuki's findings]
Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born…
After the stars doth cross the heavens,
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.

[From Winter's transcription of the music in the Holy Forbidden Church]

The shadowed man on the quest for the Twilight dragon. The shadowed man will not come back here in search of the Twilight dragon.

[From Lumina Cloth, up in a high building that Oriade and Vogel were investigating while flying]

Riding the wake is ██████, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, █████, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of █████, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, ████████, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.

The last piece of the poem has words missing, but I can't work out what it might be. Does anyone else have an idea?

edit: 12/9

I forgot to mention I found another piece in Naval Monte:

█████ schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.

█████ seduces with the sweet trap.

Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. ██████ still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.

And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives ████████.

Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well.

[glassbell]

The wall is haunted?

🤝🤝🤝

[secondthoughts]

Glitched, more likely. Maybe some placeholder sound file got left in. I dont know.

Can you imagine if there were actual ghosts in the game lol

[glassbell]

Oh. That makes sense, even if it's weird to leave a sound file there.

[ Fragment seems really polished otherwise, what with the VR... Which lazy programmer forgot? ]

We would need a new job. Like a priest or exorcist. With cooler names than that.

[secondthoughts]

[ It is odd for such a polished game otherwise. But then again, the game is huge. Maybe it just slipped under the radar... ]

I dunno exorcist sounds pretty cool to me.

But these ghosts would have to not give people real-life injuries and stuff. Feel like that'd be a huge (potentially legal) problem.

[glassbell]

Yeah, but the jobs have two-part names here. Like... Divine Exorcist or something.

Wait, injuries. Are you okay?

[secondthoughts]

[ Huh. He never noticed that. Smart person... ]

I'm fine. But haven't you heard about the others?

[glassbell]

Oh, right.

Okay if you put ghosts and hospitalizations together, that's just the start of a horror movie. Or game in this case. With potential legal problems that get glossed over there.

[ Thinking too hard about that is one way to cope with disliking scary media. ]

[secondthoughts]

Yeah.

Let's just hope CC Corp cleans up their act before it turns into a REAL horror for us testing their game. I don't want it to get to that point.

[ People shouldn't be getting hurt over this. Hector will punch the digital poltergeists himself. ]

[glassbell]

They really should be careful, especially with something that's supposed to be new technology.

This is probably not what people signed up for with a beta. I even joined the beta with a close friend.

[secondthoughts]

Definitely not. I know we signed waivers but it feels weak at this point. It just doesn't feel right.

Anyway. That's cool :-) You're not the first person I know who's playing with someone close. Who is it? Classmate? Girlfriend? Lol

[glassbell]

I wonder if they check the number of active beta testers from time to time... Especially after incidents like that. I don't blame people for Boeing out.

She's just an online friend! We reconnected after life things happened.

[secondthoughts]

Might be worth asking after. I'll see what I can do.

[ Like it's his problem to solve... smh. ]

Hey, nice! Been a while since you've seen her, then?

[glassbell]

Oh, I thought of asking, but I thought it might sound like I was too nosy or secretly from a competitor game company. I'm not sure if it's something a regular player asks, right?

[ protag problems smh. ]

Yeah, real life happened. So a few years?

[secondthoughts]

I'm not really concerned about acting like a regular player. They emailed me this invite out of the blue and came to install the setup at my place of work. They clearly have enough info on me already. They know I'm not from a competitor, so they'll just have to live with the fact that they got a nosy guy on board :-)

[ Other protag problems... More like, causing problems. ]

That's awesome, though! I'm glad you got to reconnect. There aren't a ton of players here - who is it? Maybe I know them already.

[glassbell]

Hahaha! You have a point. Kinda crazy you get to play on a work computer. Is that right? Also let me know if you get anything out of em.

She goes by Swallow.

[secondthoughts]

I'll keep you updated.

Oh, I know her. Glad you've gotten your reunion. [ Shit... She's the one that got "stuck" not long ago, right? ] Keep an eye on her. lol

[glassbell]

You're the best.

Good! She needs buddies besides me, I'm not very good at these games.
