I mean I guess like decades old? I mean the place isn't like a brand new place or anything.

I know from my landlord that the last tenant lived here for 15 years.

It's almost certainly runic. I'm not an expert in this but I've seen my fair share of runes and it looks like an attempt at some variation of Futhark.

Edit: seems elder from the gebo wunjo combo at the end there.

Good luck! But I'll tell you: you only write runes on the back of a mirror if you want to keep you out of it, or something else in it.

You’ve, like, died multiple times, so is that the horror training or does it mean you did not actually learn anything from your training?

gently caress me, I'm actually trying to decrypt this now.

Yeah they're deffo runes, but it's a little hard to tell which "alphabet" they use; it may be a mishmash of several. The characters don't all look like they sync up with the Elder Futhark. Several of them look at least Anglo-Saxon, but there's a few like the one at the end of the first line and the "rounded" X-looking one with the dots above it in the second line that look Dalecarlian. If I had to guess I think Dalecarlian would be the best bet, but it's after 2:00 AM where I am and I'm way too sleepy to dive any deeper than that tonight.

I may take a crack at actually deciphering this poo poo tomorrow. In the meantime, these Wikipedia links and runic alphabet tables might help you out.

Anglo-Saxon runes



Dalecarlian runes



Good luck, rune goon! :)

the little caret over the second or third symbol looks like a diacritic and I didn't see anything quite like in in any of the runic alphabets that were linked on the wikipedia page for runes so I gave up

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

it looks to me more like someone wrote something and then scribbled over it to make it look all runic and mysterious rather than just scratch it out entirely
