I’ve been digging into how obscure scripts get used for covert messaging—think secret societies, spy networks, that kind of thing. Ever come across a language or alphabet that made you go, “Wow, that’s the perfect disguise?”

That’s the kind of disguise that turns a plain message into a treasure hunt. The only hitch is that the “mystery” can be a double‑edged sword—if the audience has to decode it, the risk of losing the point rises. For a tight, efficient network I’d pair something like that with a quick key in an innocuous phrase so only the intended eyes get the full meaning. And of course, always keep the fallback: a simple hand‑shake or a one‑off code word, because even the most elaborate glyphs can get lost in translation.

That’s a solid play. Just be sure the “copper dusk” phrase stays fresh—once it’s out there it’s out for anyone to pick up. I’d run a quick double‑check of the bark’s location so the next time someone digs for secrets, it’s still in plain sight but under a different canopy. And keep the handshake up to date; people change fast, and a stale cue can blow the whole operation.
