Mystery Inn Ski Lodge
You are on CB, minding your own business, until you spotted this Ski Lodge. Not unusual in the least. You click on it, of course, and begin to read it, the question lingering in your mind: Should I join?
Suddenly, you receive an email. How odd, you think. An email? So you go into your email and click into it, and spot a typed up message sent to you under the names Secret, Rune, and Enigma. Cautiously, you read it, scrolling down slowly and taking in each word, hopefully. It reads:
You have received an invitation to Mystery Inn, the most prestigious and arguably the most sophisticated place to stay. Everything here is new, just for you! We will take around 15 guests maximum. AEs and CAPTCHAs are allowed. Each set of guests receive a certain code as well, in order for you to be eligible to enter. You must translate the following to enter the inn: - - - - -.

Day 4, Part 1
The hosts suggested the guests, who were all much into this scavenger hunt, to take a rest, and although reluctantly, the guests agreed, for they were rather tired. But after a quick breakfast, the guests continued.

Right after breakfast, Verde and Cocoa cat headed over to Secret, telling them that they had found a new number.
“So I think that either 2 is the first number, or 1 is the second,” Sempreverde concluded.
“Wait, doesn’t it have something to do with 6 since the riddle’s answer was that?” Cocoa cat asked.
“Maybe, but the poem was on the second page,” Verde reasoned.
“Oh right,” Cocoa cat nodded.
Secret smiled and said, “Indeed, 1 is the second number.” They wrote the number down on the paper.
Verde and Cocoa peered at the paper, and the numbers were written: _185_

Day 4, Part 2
After that success, Sempreverde decided to head to the garden and explore for more clues. She entered through the door, glancing around at the trees, bushes, and flowers, as well as the potted lilies in the corner.
Behind her, Wildsong arrived. “Mind if I look for clues with you?”
“Not at all!” Verde smiled.
~
Cocoa cat walked over to the dining room, smiling as she opened the door. There was a plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table. A note on it read: Take as many of Ladybug’s famous cookies as you like!
Cocoa wondered how the hosts had gotten those cookies. A mystery, like any other thing in this inn. She happily helped herself to one of the cookies, and indeed, the rumors were true—the cookies were truly the best she’d ever eaten. And upon taking one, another cookie immediately took its place.
After taking two more cookies, Cocoa decided that she should look around for clues. There could be clues hiding on the table or chairs, or the paintings on the walls.

Where do you look? (For the garden, you can look at the trees, bushes, flowers, or potted lilies, and for the dining room, you can look at the table or chairs or paintings.)

Sorry for the writer's block hiatus! Hopefully posts will be more regular from now.
Day 4, Part 3
Sempreverde glanced at the potted lilies and decided to look there. She examined the lilies carefully, noticing that they were true lilies—with six petals each. Wildsong noticed the number 5 etched on each of the lily pots, indicating the size. But why was it that they were drawn to those details specifically?
Was it perhaps another clue? It was up to them to interpret it.

Cocoa cat went over to examine the paintings. There were several paintings, but the biggest one in the center was a painting of mountains over a lake reflection along with several trees. It was a beautiful painting, but something—a piece of paper, perhaps—in the corner of the frame caught her eye.
She gingerly slipped the paper out and noticed a small line of text, which she had to squint to read: I: the smallest symmetrical number greater than 0. What could this mean?

Interpret the clues! (Anyone else can also interpret the clues if they wish even if they are not in the scene).

Yay, it's back!! (glad you got over your writer's block! that's always tough...)
81856? Or 11856? (not entirely sure what the first digit is...)
(October 19, 2024 - 7:30 pm)
I have an obsession with numbers and the way they're shaped, and the way they curve,and the way they look in general (And I just love numbers in general) so I can say with confidence that the answer is 8.
(October 20, 2024 - 8:48 pm)
Maybe the lily clue means that the fifth number is 6?
