LEVEL Й 2021

Welcome to the second iteration of Level Й!

Same things as last time, Google's going to be helpful, there will be clear directions as to how to get to the next "stage" of the levels. External programs will not be necessary this time around, and there will be a definitive password as well (no username/password format). Of course, don't be afraid to PM me with any questions you have!

Let's get to business!
For the first part, you're going to get a two-word answer. Type it in all lowercase letters, no spaces or other characters!

(without the brackets lmao)

Here's where you start, GL HF!

Sadly, PLAYER 1, 2, 3, and 4 all went to Nairobi on vacation this time around, so we will not be following their stories... luckily PLAYER 5 and PLAYER 6 are still in town to give you hints!

DIALOGUE:
PLAYER 5: Hello!
PLAYER 6: Hey! What's up?
PLAYER 5: Nothing much, just feeling very excited to be a part of this weekly. It would've been nice to go to Kenya with the others, but hey they're missing out on this!
PLAYER 6: Yeah true. Did you see that PLAYER 3 sent us a postcard??
PLAYER 5: Oh wow no, show me!

(The postcard is seen, on the picture side is a collage of the city along with various Kenyan wildlife and nature. On the backside, PLAYER 3 writes "JOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJOJ HELLO PLAYER 5 AND PLAYER 6! WE ARE LOVING NAIROBI AT THE MOMENT HAHA COOL! ANYWAYS WE MISS YOU GUYS AND ALSO ARE BUMMED THAT WE'RE MISSING THE WEEKLY RIDDLE THIS TIME AROUND, BUT ALSO WE FEEL BAD FOR LEAVING SO MANY RED HERRINGS IN THE LAST RIDDLE OOPSIES!

OH ALSO WE SAW ACTION BRONSON AND MEYHEM LAUREN AT A RESTAURANT IN THE CITY WHICH WAS SO COOL, BIG BODY BES WASN'T THERE THO, HE'S PROBABLY NOT ALLOWED IN KENYA LOL. OK GOODBYE! With love, PLAYER 3." Paper-clipped to the postcard is the image of the riddle.)

PLAYER 6: Wasn't that kind of her?
PLAYER 5: Like if u cried
PLAYER 6: Well obviously we're gonna have to figure out what she was trying to say to us.
PLAYER 5: I mean looking at this image, right off the bat I see X's all over the place, none of them are really that different, but why does X mark the spot?
PLAYER 6: I feel like that's not the important part...
PLAYER 5: Why must this be so confusing??? Something about PLAYER 3's message is raising a red flag for me... WAIT
