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.

Not German, but I found this.

[ Attached is Screenshot001.jpg, showing a worn tablet sitting in what looks like a ruin. The writing is faded and mostly hard to read, but what is legible is clearly Elder Futhark runes. ]

Looks like Viking runes, so it might be related. Found it in ΔHidden Forbidden Bulwark if you wanna check it out. Don't get too close to the wall though btw.

[insinning]

[Ah, fellow (redacted) dungeon conqueror. It's been awhile.]

What happens if you get too close to the wall?

[ Wait, even online it's important to be polite ]

Oh. And thank you for sharing.

[secondthoughts]

[ Yaoi buddy (SFW)! ]

There's a noise that comes from it, gave me an awful migraine. Had to take the day after off work. Never had anything like it before.

[insinning]

I'll keep that in mind. [and he'll keep grandpaMithrun1 away from it]

It's a little disturbing though, how all these hidden areas have effects that carry over to real life

[ And yet they're all still playing, so what does that say about them? Masochists? All of them?]

[secondthoughts]

Do they really?

[ Well, shit. ]

The kid that was out for 24 hours? Was that from a hidden area too?

[insinning]

['kid'...]

Yes. But they've fixed the area. Whatever caused it isn't there anymore.

[ He knows because he visited against Winter's recommendations. Oops ]

[secondthoughts]

Good. I'm glad they fixed it, but that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Maybe they'll fix that wall, too.

[insinning]

Sometimes I wonder if this game being so real is a good thing or not.

[gluttoning]

I was wondering why I couldn't find it. Maybe they patched it out.

[insinning]

yeah

It seems like it wasn't on purpose but

We checked pretty thoroughly. There was nothing to be found

[dissimulative]

do you remember what kind of noise it was?
i also hope youre feeling better by now

[secondthoughts]

It was a few days back. I'm fine now, thanks.

But it was like a submarine ping. Or like a chime. But I distinctly remember it being kind of lower than either of those things. I don't remember it exactly.

[dissimulative]

like a grand bell?
the kind they put in tall towers
were you the only one who heard it?

1/2

[secondthoughts]

I guess something like that. It was pretty distinct. I don't remember it being very bell-y.

[secondthoughts]

Lol actually Yael was with me. Maybe he gave me the migraine. the bastard

[gluttoning]

Are you okay now?

[secondthoughts]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[gluttoning]

That's a relief.

The heat's already hard enough to deal with. I know rhere's a list of side effects from too much play now, but some of this just seems a little too weird.

[secondthoughts]

Yeah. It's not good.

Don't be online longer than you need to be. Log off if you feel bad. Shoot me a message if you need anything, Misteaks. It's "just a game" but I'm serious about this. Take care of yourself.

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?
