The other two 'puzzle' symbols that we've unlocked have both involved the Oceanic cipher. Is there something hidden around things that are bright and go bang that we're just not noticing, maybe...?

The only thing I can think of is the letters written in the ship wakes.

So, "PGPG." 2PG?
Dragonfire Moderator

Bang, though.

...You know, you can still hear the fireworks even after the princess goes inside and you can't see them any more.
You pull the cork out of the Message in a Bottle and gently fish the paper out of it. Unrolling it, you see that it reads:

This bang is not from cannons

Thanks, Ash!

I think that leaves the fireworks, and maybe the Die Star blowing up in the intro video, but there doesn't seem to be any discernable pattern with the latter.

New message from a bottle: "This bang is not from cannons"

It can either be the fireworks or the metheorite shower but I always associate bang with fireworks

The sound of the fireworks exploding--does that sound at all morse codey?
Dragonfire Moderator

The best audio samples actually happen while the princess is walking across the square where folks are partying down - the fireworks aren't visible then, but the bangs are pretty audible then. Once she goes inside they get a lot quieter.
Ilmarinen Moderator

I can't do audio right now--does the way they're spaced sound like it could be a code? They ARE "hidden from view" at that point!!
Dragonfire Moderator

It's very possible, yes.
Dragonfire Moderator

I'm just having a hard time separating out the bangs from the background music, haha.
Ilmarinen Moderator

Hrrrrm, dang.
Hmm perhaps it's lightning? It's not always visible, but it causes a flash of bright light and also causes thunder, which would cause the bang.
Ilmarinen Moderator

Maybe! It probably has something to do with one of the Epic Week videos or comics :)

From Demilicious - bottle message:

"Listen closely to the bright things when they are hidden from view."
Ilmarinen Moderator

That is sounding more and more like I was on th right track--there's some kinda Morse code. I just don't have audio right now. Let me see if I can change that!
Ilmarinen Moderator

It sounds like it could be something, but I can't make out the details behind the voices. As soon as we cut away from the fireworks in the sky, there are two crackling bursts, and I can't make out how many cracklies there are so I really hope that isn't part of the code. Then there are 4 evenly spaced ones, so that COULD be ----, but once they go inside, it's hard to clear up. I'll keep trying.
Ilmarinen Moderator

Well, just before she speaks, I might hear --- ..- --.- ..-
