  • The story told within Kaiden's roleplay is the following:

  • Yuukichan begs Kaiden to stop using his powers for darkness. Kaiden begins to realize he can use his powers for good, but the Broker suddenly appears and kidnaps Yuuki, demanding that Kaiden kills IsocelesAssassin.

  • After IsocelesAssassin vanishes in the video, Kaiden states that he has to confront someone else. As he says their name, the video corrupts and some strange footage is shown.

8/9/19 - Chat with IIIII - Discord (Internet Detectives)

Summary

  • IIIII appears to be an account that multiple entities speak through. IIIII's current user refers to the players as "friends" and they often speak with runes. To avoid confusion, this entity will be referred to as the "Rune Entity" in this timeline.
  • The Rune Entity seems to be using runes specifically in an attempt to obscure information from another more malicious entity.
  • The Rune Entity helps the players enter Johnisdead.com by revealing the login information through YouTube comments and ciphers. The username was "fascie" and the password was "The key". The pages discovered during this conversation will be documented below.
  • The Rune Entity expresses how much they miss the players multiple times throughout the conversation.
  • The Rune Entity is only able to keep Johnisdead.com open for several minutes, claiming that "He’s watching" - likely referring to the malicious entity the Rune Entity is attempting to keep information from.
  • The Rune Entity doesn’t reveal who they are, but instead leave the hint "One, two, three… and me." and claim they are trapped behind a gate.
  • The Rune Entity leaves for the night, once again calling the players friends. They ominously claim "We are watching me closely now. I'll be waiting with the dark. I can only change once this ends. but once this ends we change". They share a secret "code" of sorts that was only ever shared between them and John, "O.s.i.K.", claiming that "Its how you can find the real me".
  • Another entity takes control of the IIIII account and begins speaking to the players. Their avatar changes to a strange version of Majora’s Mask as they repeatedly post the image "Tnersebi.png" and cryptically claim "I am he who is we".

  • Some of the canon messages sent in the livechat were recorded here: target=_blank

Notice:

Since the video "The end" features an entity pretending to be an OoC Tyler ending the ARG, it is now believed that the previous conversation involving Tyler's outburst at Erika and Greth's departure from the Discord server was actually canon. This also extends to the conversation in which the Pumpkinhead content was denounced. This would mean that the recent instances of Tyler acting enraged on Discord have actually been an entity utilizing the IIIII account pretending to be OoC Tyler - possibly the historically malicious Mask Entity who had previoiusly pretended to be Tyler in past conversations. This would also mean that the "OoC Greth" in the previous conversation was actually the canon "Greth" who had previously asked players to draw spell circles and interacted with Moonman.

In summation, this video implies that the previous conversations involving Erika's removal from the Discord server and the denouncing of the Pumpkinhead content was all canon, and that the entity using the IIIII acccount during these conversations was the "Mask entity" and the "OoC Greth" was still just the yet unknown "Greth" entity.

12/2/19 - Chat with Erika - Discord (Safest Haven)

Summary

  • Erika offers to give the fortunes of various characters:
  • Players ask about BUP. Erika remarks that BUP has a "strange figure" and that they are ""really far off to the edge of the sphere however, almost in his whole own bubble". She ultimately is not able to tell us much, claiming that BUP is "very foreign yet very close to home".
  • Players ask about SKM. Erika begins fearing for his safety: "his appearances in this world become more and more phantom like. I hope he is not fading, I beg of yee oh god that his spirit might carry on! Nay say thee of the sphere, walkers of the lines, for imprints fade but with strange eons a soul may find aid, run now oh rosecrucian rose like the rain of the pettles of the ogdoad.". Erika then begins hearing different voices speaking about SKM: "Beauty fleeting unto sun lit night, awaken under luellas light. The masked lad shall find fearfully the glad. He has been withheld by the null thralls once more. Timelessly the promise is remembered as failed and redeemed. Forever awaiting the return. Passing brothers like a torch."
  • Players ask Erika about the man seen wearing a gas mask from the video "guidance.mp4". Erika expresses her distaste for them, describing them as a "thing". She ponders if "he stole that mask at some point or gave it away first". She also mentions that this entity likes to collect "trinkets".
  • Players ask Erika about the white, mannequin-like entity seen in several videos. Erika hears voices describing it as "The child. The young. The still boy. An emination. A reflection. An energy sink.". She says that it is painful to think about, but claims that, without any outside influence, it is "sweet".
  • Players ask Erika about "IIIII". Erika gets excited, describing the IIIII as a whole as "Dissolution but reformation" and somewhat similar to the "Kabbalah". She claims the IIIII is a very dynamic and powerful symbol -"the lines. The many lines and the 5 that define". When asked what the lines represent, Erika says "No one people define the lines and that is part of what makes them so dangerous. When layed upon one it gives you access to 5 layers of being. However this is a really dumbed down explanation on the many angles that define this really powerful symbol. It is a key to understanding the absolute when correctly applied but it cannot be looked at with a flat mind". She explains that the IIIII are not a "who", but a "what".
  • Erika expresses her distaste for the Lunar Children, implying that their worship is insulting for the true Luna.

  • Sam wakes up from his dream. He is now in a dense forest. He discovers a medallion with a purple crescent shape that allows for switching players. The players choose to continue with their current setup, however.
  • Sam comes across a lake after hearing someone scream in the forest. He is pulled into the water by an unknown creature, but manages to escape.
  • As Sam gets further away from the lake, the second cut in his arm begins to close. Once he approaches it again, the wound re-opens. Another scream is heard and Sam is attacked by a creature simply known as "??".
  • Sam manages to defeat the "??" creature, but he is overtaken by a black sludge substance. As the sludge is covering his body, Sam notices that the creature he was fighting begins to take a human shape. The creature has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a goatee. A third line is then cut into Sam's arm.
  • Sam wakes up once again, with the entire previous session supposedly being a dream itself. Sam is now a student late for high school.
  • Sam boards a school bus. A tired student named Tyler sits at the front of the bus, while another student named Erik sits at the back wearing a hat while playing a Nintendo DS.
  • Sam discovers a necklace in his pocket. Much like the medallion, this necklace features a crescent shape, though this one is green.
  • Sam gets a text message from someone named YUGIMOTO asking about a package.
  • Sam attempts to speak with Erik, but he is nervous and ignores them.
  • Sam's reality begins to break down. Time seems to no longer exist, and he begins to hear the player's messages in the Discord server.
  • Sam is attacked by an unknown attacker. He manages to stab them before the necklace begins vibrating.
  • Players check the necklace. Sam is then warped to the Astral Observatory - a hub world where they can choose between three different Dream Bubbles. These bubbles are as follows:
  • I - Sam of the Lunar Children exploring Ruskunne.
  • II - Sam in the forest with the lake.
  • III - Sam on the bus going to high school.
  • Sam hears Yuukichan call out in the Astral Observatory. Before they can investigate, however, they happen upon yet another dream sphere. This one warps Sam into a dark forest near a highway.
  • The player Slinky has to leave. The players are given the option to choose a new player. The player Xenquility takes over, creating a new character named Max.
  • Max is an elf spending the night at an Inn owned by "Innsman Greth". Greth informs him that a dangerous fog is about to roll into town, after which some rebel group is going to attack. The land Max is currently in seems to be aligned with Luna.
  • The world Max currently resides in appears to be the I dream sphere - the land containing Ruskunne. It is revealed that the rebel group attacking the town is actually the Inquisitorius Penitus, which is also supposedly known as the "I D of ----------".
  • Upon leaving the inn, Max is attacked by an entity named "???". This entity seems to be made of void, and it has two white glowing eyes placed upon a pointed hood-like shape.
  • Yuukichan begins speaking to the players, informing them they need to "find the idol". Max then spots Yuukichan across the street, who runs away.
  • Max attacks the entity, causing its head to split in half. The entity then performs a special move that splits open the earth, devouring everything in sight, but Max manages to escape. The campaign is then saved and placed on pause.

    Expand

    2/25/20 - Chat with Vincent and Erika - Discord (Internet Detectives)

    Summary

    • Vincent explains that the second set of memories he is experiencing are of his childhood, only different. Instead of being an only child, he has three siblings in these memories. Vincent claims that he is experiencing these memories chronologically, meaning he is recalling being a child first.
    • Vincent describes what happened to him after the cataclysm at the Spire in 2016 and his journey through the parallelos:
    • During the cataclysm that occurred at the Spire, Vincent broke free of Patrem's control. He claims that before fleeing from the Spire, he witnessed Patrem being "sucked into somewhere".
    • After escaping from the Spire, Vincent briefly contacted some friends and family. The last thing he remembers before entering the parallelos is playing the Lunar Children theme on his piano in 2017, as seen in the video "show me". After this, he "faded" into the parallelos.
    • Vincent describes the parallelos as a dense forest with gigantic trees, though he theorizes that it may be different for others, or that perhaps he was only seeing a small portion of it. Vincent claims that time flowed differently in the parallelos, and it felt as if he were travelling through it for thousands of years.
    • Vincent says that he felt as if he had to keep moving within the parallelos, or else "the darkness" would catch up with him. Though he strangely never felt tired or hungry in the parallelos, he eventually became mentally exhausted and rested against a tree.
    • Mentally exhausted from exploring the parallelos in terror Vincent gave up and remained lying against the tree. Over time, the tree grew around his body, entrapping him.
    • While inside the tree, Vincent witnessed a storm of darkness forming in the distance. He describes a tendril-like tornado that pierced the sky and began advancing towards him. Vincent explains that he no longer cared if the storm fully engulfed him at this point.
    • Vincent speaks about the "angel" who saved him again. The angel somehow "unaged" the tree around him, freeing him. The angel then flew him towards the sky, escaping the storm of darkness. They then exited the parallelos by piercing through the sky, which Vincent describes as having a slimy-like texture.
    • Vincent says the realm outside of the parallelos was far more terrifying than the forest, and that he is unable to speak about the things he saw there. He mentions that once he looked back at the parallelos, he realized it was much bigger on the inside compared to how it looked to him in that moment, and that there were other realms floating around as well.
    • After travelling through the realm outside of the parallelos, Vincent claims he simply reemerged in his bedroom.
    • Vincent explains that there are many things he is unable to talk about because he fears for the players' and his own safety. Some of these subjects deal with forbidden knowledge that he fears will result in some reality-breaking catastrophes if he speaks of them. Two of these forbidden subjects is the name of his alternate self he is experiencing the memories of, and the identity of the angel.
    • Vincent says that the tendril-like object in the center of the storm of darkness he witnessed was an absque fascie. He claims that the absque fascie are far more powerful than Patrem.
    • Vincent describes the inner-workings of the Lunar Children and their initiation process.
    • Vincent explains that new Lunar Children initiates are expected to carry out small, menial tasks, such as the ones Mason asked Jacob to record. The next step in becoming a true member of the cult is undergoing an experimental operation.
    • Vincent says that the experimental operation is a brain surgery of sorts that "changes" the patient, morphing them into whatever kind of person the Lunar Children needs them to be. The initiate has the opportunity to leave the cult before going through with the operation, as the surgery is the final test of loyalty, proving that the initiate is willing to lay down their life for Luna.
    • Vincent claims that the Lunar Children did not track down any former members who left the cult in refusal to go through with the operation. However, he says that the Lunar Children made it abundantly clear that anyone who tried to expose them would be dealt with.
    • Vincent says that he went through with the operation. This, combined with the fact that he often kept a low profile and didn't engage in gossip of forbidden topics is what allowed him to gain such a high rank within the group.
    • Though Vincent held a rather high rank within the cult, he wasn't at the very top, and seemingly knew less than elder children such as Matt. In addition to this, Patrem was in-control of Vincent's body most of the time, leaving him with only vague glimpses of what was taking place.
    • Vincent isn't aware of BUP, SKM, Max, or the Astral Observatory.

    • The last video Greth remembers uploading to his channel is "Experimentations". He claims that after uploading it, he abandoned the channel.

    • At some point, Greth removed a JohnisDead album from his label as he didn't know what it was for.
    • Greth feels like he used to remember what JohnisDead was, but has since forgotten due to memory issues that began alongside his sleep issues.

    • Patrem begins revealing cryptic information to the players:
    • Patrem admits that it was only in his own delusions he was the owner of the title of "The Father".
    • Patrem claims that after his "final moment of confession" he became stuck in the Parallelos. However, now he claims to have reached the final state of his own personal "ascension" and believs he is "under the eyes of the absolute".
    • When asked if he is still connected to Vincent, Patrem responds with "I am all that this layer of myself may be child".

    • Patrem makes reference to "The Great Author", who he claims is above even Luna.
    • Patrem references a great mage named "Synchron". Patrem claims that Synchron "casts" at an "altar" in the "fourth world" and uses "symbols" to speak. This is similar to the rune-casting board seen in several Silentdork videos and the Rune Entity that speaks through IIIII. Patrem also claims that Synchron is at the top of some city.
    • Patrem claims that he is now aligned with "The Great Author" and another entity beneath the Author who he describes as "the turner of the wheel", "the minister of the altar and communer with the author", and "the holder of the 4th world IIII".
    • Patrem says that the Author's realms extend beyond the "fourth world", which was said to have been Luna's Parallelos on the Lunar Children website.
    • Patrem claims that Luna disperses it's "pieces" for the "dark one's" final game. He describes the dark one as "the opposite of the author is "I"" - a "praiser of Devils" who wishes to "smite the absolute".
    • When asked about the authors, Patrem describes it as "A tale of torches passing, the spirit of the first work becomes a part of the child of the next. It is the brother of the first torch bearer who remains within the halls of the world he left from beyond. the sound of a story of spirits coming and leaving from waters and a promise that is passed from barer to barer.". He also claims that these are not his own words he is saying but a "product of the IIII".
    • Patrem claims that he is no longer within the confines of "the book" but he is still within "the machine". He claims that "the machine" is one of many things that must be witnessed using secrets passed down by the "IIII".
    • Patrem makes reference to the esoteric concept of the Hebrew Orchard, or "Pardes"
    • Patrem tells the players they need to find the "GIRL after you" and also find Synchron, who will then lead them to find the "dark one".
    • Patrem refers to Tyler as "the Link of the line". He says that Synchron wishes to grant him "the spear". He continues, "what three runes give the secret to the told of "kalki" link to the salvation? whom is the reciever of the wisdom of the three to gain the four treasures that grant access to the grail, the tower that opens to the tree where for which the hero hangs to defeat the dark one who comes from the waters and can solidify only on stealing of you the self of which I too may even lose in this bitter end but should it be the end of ends? Nay!".
    • Patrem continues speaking of Synchron and Tyler - "In the line by which he ascended to the chair of the fourth by which he works from the altar in the room where for which the machine connects he was prior a worshiper of the ogdoad".
    • Patrem describes "Dream Spheres" as "realms where those who generate".
    • The IIIII account in the Internet Detectives Discord server posts the message "I" along with several messages relating to Tenebris.

    Summary

    • IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and GHOSTBABEL are in good spirits as its nearly time to initiate their plan to break into the Astral Observatory Subspace.
    • Moonman now seems to be speaking to the present. He changes his username back to "Moonman31", now in a different font. He and IsocelesAssassin seem to have no knowledge of the fact that the account was previously speaking to the players from the year 2016.
    • IsocelesAssassin announces that one of their secretive comrades who remains anonymous has constructed a "Data Bomb" of sorts that will need to be posted on Astral Observatory. Doing this will weaken the website's security enough so that the players can enter the Subspace - given they have the correct login information.
    • GHOSTBABEL receives a message from the "secretive comrade" via Helper's Hat. They explain that it must be posted in "The Truth" board on Astral Observatory.
    • IsocelesAssassin and Moonman begin panicking. It's revealed that the Data Bomb is empty and it's contents have been replaced with an image of Pumpkinhead.
    • Pumpkinhead begins taunting the players through Wolfcat's account and posts an image of a device - presumably the missing Data Bomb. Wolfcat's avatar changes to the hooded entity seen in Yuukichan's posts, implying this entity was Pumpkinhead all along.
    • Pumpkinhead claims that "I no longer hold Wolf in my possession.".
    • The previous "General" text channel becomes viewable - previously it had been archived and locked away from sight. Posts from Wolfcat dating back to October 2nd, 2019 are discovered here, where he can be seen struggling against Pumpkinhead's possession. This implies that the Pumpkinhead Gamejack was indeed a canon event, and that Pumpkinhead had secretly been using Wolfcat's Discord account since at least October 2nd, 2019.
    • On 10/2/19, Wolfcat claims that it had been 40 days since he met someone.
    • On 10/28/19, Wolfcat claims that the one using his account is not him.
    • On 10/30/19, Wolfcat ponders why Pumpkinhead is suddenly revealing himself and claims "HE MADE A DEAL WITH THE TRICKSTER". He believes that Pumpkinhead staged the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack" to somehow divert suspicion from himself.
    • On 10/31/19, Pumpkinhead submits the "Mirror Shield" - explaining why he was able to reflect the player's submissions during the Pumpkinhead Gamejack.
    • On 11/3/19, Wolfcat claims he can feel his power expanding and attempts to reach out. Shortly after this, Pumpkinhead traps him by using a "Poe in a Bottle".
    • On 11/6/19, Wolfcat laments the fact that Yugi is being portrayed as an enemy, claiming that "YUGI IS THEIR ALLY". Pumpkinhead also claims that Jos has been useful to him, implying that the players that took part in the Pumpkinhead Gamejack, Circlehunter and Jos, were not aware of Pumpkinhead's plans and truly believed that the Gamejack was a simple non-canon joke.
    • On 11/8/19, Pumpkinhead refers to Wolfcat as his "mask", claiming that soon he will require the full extent of Wolfcat's "self". He also mentions that someone's hunger has been sated.
    • On 11/10/19, Pumpkinhead laughs at the fact that the players believed the Pumpkinhead Gamejack was completely non-canon.
    • On 11/11/19, Pumpkinhead claims that Undecim Nocte is The Father's day, claiming that he is the one Pumpkinhead has made a deal with - likely referring to Tenebris.
    • On 1/15/20, Pumpkinhead silences Wolfcat.
    • On 4/13/20, Pumpkinhead panicks, seemingly having lost Wolfcat.
    • Pumpkinhead completely deletes the Safehaven Discord server.

    Notice:

    While the Pumpkinhead Gamejack itself is now confirmed canon, the information revealed during it is not. For example, during the Pumpkinhead Gamejack, the player Jos was coerced into pretending to be a evil version of Yugi. While it is canon that the player Jos took part in this, Yugi's actions during this were not canon, as it was never the real Yugi speaking in the first place - it was simply a fabrication by the player.
