OOC: Morse to hex, hex to binary, binary to text, and we get this
Htjww
Put that in caesarian we get
Pbree
probably based on the first one
Ah, the silver tongued butterfly is back with more.

(Adjusts glasses.)

Have at thee.
OOC: So whenever I put either of the main options into atbash I get more jumbled letters, that whenever I put them into Vigenere or Caesarian I keep getting "three". Since I doubt the answer is "three" then I'm out of ideas
However the title is Latin for "Time" if that helps
OOC: Three could be the time of the next puzzle? Or something to that effect. I can't think of any Time related words other than numbers in that word shape
OOC: In that case we'll accept it as three unless we get corrected.

IC: Oh, hey Labcoat guy, what are you doing out here?
I needed a breather from the slumber party, so I came out for a walk. Only to find this butterfly spouting more nonsense.
Oh,

*backs away from the butterfly*

well... I went to the Karaoke place to get this "singing" thing. But whenever I tried to get it nothing happened.
(Thinks for a moment.)

You do know what music is....right?
*looks away*

Yes...... Ok, no. This is all very new to me.
(Visibly shocked.)

You...didn't have music in your world?
.... I dunno much about this place, I've been kinda out of it until recently. Is music really this common?
(Thinks for a moment, before pulling out his laptop.)

Here, give this a listen.

(Opens a file on his laptop and begins playing a sample of Beethoven for Gamma.)

OOC: I'm too damn lazy to work around blocked sites to find actual Beethoven...apologies.
*listens intently*

This... It feels like I've missed a lot.... What kind of ability is it? To be able to... Make me feel like this? Is this what that, "singing' ability does?

OOC: I found one on Youtube, its no problem.
*Bikusen wanders in.* I heard that there was another cypher from the butterfly.
(Again, thinks for a moment.)

I'd say it only accentuates the ability that the instruments have. Singers are to music, as a marksman is to his firearm. Granted, music is used to connect people, firearms typically drive them apart.
*noticing Biku*

Oh, hey fox guy. labcoat guy here was teaching me about this "music" stuff.

*turning to Ver*

So that wasn't people making those noises, it was some kinda tool? So singing isn't really a special power, more like something you practice towards?
Him,Music? I believe I've heard about it, but not very much.
(Turns to Biku.)

Hello friend! Please do weigh in on the puzzle!

(Turning back to Gamma.)

Yes and no. Singing is a very special power, however it is something you must train towards. And instruments were what you heard there, they would be tools to express one's soul.
I can't imagine any way that the numeral 3 could relate to anything temporal... Although the last ones title translated to Future, if I remember correctly.
*looking at Ver confused*

So if singing's some sort of special power, why couldn't I get any from the karaoke people? How should I get this, so you'll be able to take me to your world?
Have you considered three days? Or the third? Or anything like that?
I do not believe that the butterfly would require us to wait more than a day for a new puzzle, especially since this one seems so simple...
(Chuckles softly and smiles.)

It isn't something you can take. It's something you have inside of you. You saw the people using their voices during karaoke right? Well that is singing, it's something that each person is capable of, but to what degree is always a mystery.
Sogiw does "singing" and "music" work, exactly?
*looking dejected*

So... There's nothing I can do about it? I just see if I can sing well and that's it? And if I can't I'll never be able to see your world?

*begins to cry*
(Puts a hand on Gamma's shoulder.)

Have you tried singing yet? Because I've already scanned everyone I've met, and you are one of the brightest candidates that I've seen!

(Smiles warmly.)

So don't look so glum, you definitely have something inside of you!
(Turns to Bikusen.)

In what regard would you like me to explain?
I am not sure. I do not understand the concept...
(Hums a quick tune.)

Granted, I am not the most talented person...music and singing are the bridges that connect mankind to each other.

(Looks pained for a moment, but looks back to Biku.)

We may not always be able to understand each other, but music is something that binds us all and connects us to one another.
And how is music created, exactl
*attempts to wipe away his tears*

But... I.. I can't do much of anything on my own... That's why my siblings always have to look after me. Besides... I... I don't even know what I can do anymore.
*Walks over*
I heard someone say Music and Singing! What are we talking about?
Hi Kuu-kun!
*turning to Nanaka with tears in his eyes*

Oh, hi teleporting lady... Its nothing... Labcoat guy was just talking about where he comes from.
But I heard someone say music and singing! I love music and singing!

*concerned look*

Why are you crying Kuu-kun?
*turns away from Nanaka*

D... Don't call me that. M... My name's Envy.. As I'm sure you all know.

*storms off*
(Turns to Biku.)

Music is created by the soul and given shape through instrument and one's voice.

(Turns to Gamma.)

Ha! You think you're alone? Everyone falls down, so it's time to get up and think about what you know you can do.

(Smiles at the blue haired girl.)

Tsubasa! Is that you my dear! What a sight for these poor eyes, you are!
(Blinks in surprise.)

What an odd name. I thought everyone called him Gamma?
Hm, may I see an example of one of these "instruments"?
Um... I'm sorry Mister Doctor Man, I don't have any wings?

Wait! Kuu-kun come back!
Mister Doctor Man, The person named Gammy is possessed by Kuu-kun right now.
Is it a Shinigami possessing him?
No, I just told you it was Kuu-kun! Don't you listen?
OOC: You're good kid.

(Looks at Nanaka again.)

Oh! My apologies, I confused you with someone else! Ahahaha!

(Turns back to Biku and produces a small harmonica from his computer bag.)

This is a personal favorite of mine! It's a harmonica, a wind based instrument!
*Bikusen seems confused.* So, does it have to be operated in the wind?
Ok then.
Can I play something Mister Doctor Man?
*looks excited*
(Turns to Nanaka and passes her the harmonica.)

Sure thing! Catch! Are you ready Biku? She'll show you how it is operated!

(Leans against the wall.)
OOC: Just noticed Sloth is a loli....are we going to have to fight CualiqueXSora?
*He nods, watching intently.*
*starts playing harmonica*

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9DDt9DBFSk)
OOC: Maybe...
Ta Daaa!!
(Slow clap.)

Beautiful! Truly beautiful! (OOC: It's blocked at work, so it could be a meme and I'd have no clue!)

Did that help you figure it out, Biku?
*Bikusen closes his eyes, listening closely.*
OOC: It was Song of Storms on Harmonica*
*he nods.* I believe I understand...
OOC: Niceu Niceu Caeser-chan!

(Smiles warmly as he retrieves the harmonica.)

I'm happy to hear that Biku, and thank you for the brilliant display, my azure beauty!

(Returns the harmonica to his bag, but his eyes seem fixed on something in the instrument.)
*Blushes*
Ehehe. Big bro and I are really good at music, We play a lot of instruments.
Oni-chan.
(Puts away the harmonica and looks up at Nanaka, with a warm smile.)

I'm happy to hear that! I'd love to hear you do a show some day!

OOC: Long story short, that says Nox
Nox. That means Night.
Morse to Hex, Hex to Binary, Binary translated to "Nox".
(The doctor runs in looking tired.)

CLOSETOTHEANSWERBUTTHETRUTHISSTILLSCATTERED.
CLOSE TO THE ANSWER BUT THE TRUTH IS STILL SCATTERED.
Better spacing.
Also it was just morse to text
Is that referring to the meaning behind Nox? Or something else as a whole?
I think it means we might need to wait for more code and that'll explain it, or we might need to combine previous things together to create a meaning.
Or I could be thinking about it too hard.
I mean, I'm certainly thinking about it too hard, but y'know. Whatever.
Better than not thinking at all.
Heh, you got me there.

DAMN IT INSECT I LOOK AWAY FOR ONE MINUTE
I WILL GIVE THE WHOLE MESSAGE AGAIN (+ a string of Hex that leads to binary that leads to...) "Frhuu fck klu"
I don't know what to do that this point, someone else will have to take if from here.
OOC: It is likely that each word has a different code, as I remember being able to get "Frhuu" into "Pbree" then "three" so its likely just going over what we did earlier
Reverse alphabet cipher to Shift brings us.

"Three two one."
OOC Is shit about to go down?
Or am I just overextending it's meaning?
No clue.
