WARDED TO JR THORNTRAILS [...] AND LAZSLO [...] AND MARY GR THE ENTIRE JUNIOR CLASS

I need extra heads on a problem.

Something strange happened before winter break. I thought I saw a [...] pattern, and I found a diagram of a lock in the library. I don't recognize it, and I spent all break trying to figure out some way to crack it without the keys. I couldn't, so I doubt any of you can. [...] I was thinking I might try to build a replica from the diagram. I feel like it has to be around here somewhere, and I want to find it. If I can show you all what it looks like, you can help me search.

But what if it could work?

Oh good, you found this, I was about to just brag about how you could make the key that unlocks the thing.

Juniors

[lockit]

Four keys.

Juniors

[princeofcat]

Four keys to unlock the four things, then.

Unless it's just the same key, but lazy.

Ramona's better at puzzles than I am. But I might have some tools I can steal from my dad.

Juniors

[lockit]

This is more like a knot than a puzzle. Can't untie it.

Juniors

[filigreed]

Then tying it ourselves might help.

Collaborative theft puzzle, what could be better

Juniors

[filigreed]

It's more borrowing than outright theft. But I may have to employ delicate dishonesty in order to avoid my father wanting to poke the thing himself.

We'd have a lock we can't open.

Juniors

[filigreed]

True. But probably better to test on that then on whateverthehell cursed shit is out there.

Juniors

[lockit]

Fair enough. I am curious.

Juniors

Could be fun to pregame a curse.
