Fan de-ciphering of the Contract

Hat tip to Erat Faciendum for decrypting a bunch of the text I used in the Beings’ Contracts!

As I said on the notes for Chapter 19 page 7:

“For this block of text, I Absolutely Did Not take an entire passage of Hebrew (even a random passage unrelated to golems or contracts) and laboriously replace each character with its Malachim equivalent. I didn’t find an English-language contract, change the font, and let the Roman letters be displayed as the Malachim characters that are sorta-randomly assigned to them, either. It’s in English, but it’s just a bunch of random stuff I was thinking about at the time. Anyone want to go through and un-cipher it? I don’t have the original text anymore. All I remember is, there was a lot about Orphan Black.”

Check out the transcription for the page 7 text. Some of the covered-by-dialogue parts are seen again on Chapter 19 pages 22-23; see also the transcription that fills them in.

It would need at least one more pass to be fully-legible, since several of the Malachim characters have been mapped to multiple English letters. As explained in one of the lines, after doing that final pass…

“It is ironic that the non fake passages should be easier to decipher because every character in the font stands for a single letter in the alphabet of that language but no one has reversed it yet I am kind of disappointed in you all honestly Homestuck never had this problem dammit”
