Story (Full) 36
The story so far...
In the previous section, Patrem finally returned to Within Hubris after a long absence - though the circumstances surrounding this were a bit confusing. As far as the players knew, Patrem should still be trapped inside of Greth... Additionally, this version of Patrem seemed far less condescending and was instead somewhat humble - albeit far more cryptic and esoteric.
Patrem had supposedly become lost in the Parallelos at some point after 2016. Here, he met the Rune Entity, who was revealed to be a powerful mage named Synchron. Patrem is now following Synchron's teachings, which has granted him a great deal of knowledge regarding the true nature of his reality. Additionally, Synchron himself communes with an absolute god-like being called "The Great Author" - someone who Patrem claims is above even Luna in terms of power and influence. Afterwards, Patrem began cryptically speaking about future events:
Someone - presumably Tyler - will meet Synchron atop some sort of "City". They will also meet "The GIRL", who is supposedly Tyler's anima. Synchron wishes to bestow Tyler some sort of "Spear". Patrem also mentions the existence of "Three Runes" and "Four Treasures" - all of which will lead to the retrieval of some sort of "Grail". Afterwards, he mentions a "Tower" that will lead to a "Tree" where Tyler will supposedly defeat Tenebris. However, all of this was laced in heavy symbolism and details were scarce...
Patrem also mentioned various other esoteric concepts as well. These included "The Orchard"A concept most likely referring to the Moon Children's old headquarters as well as a mysterious Hebrew myth., "The Book"A concept most likely referring to both the "Libro Lunarus" and possibly fate itself., and "The Machine" - presumably the same "Machine" that Tyler himself is currently trapped within. Patrem implies that he himself is also currently within "The Machine", though what exactly this means on a literal level is unknown... Patrem also revealed some more information about "The Fourth World"Just as the players, Patrem always knew of "The Fourth World" as Luna's Parallelos. However, he now claims that Synchron is the holder of it and that the realms of "The Great Author" extend beyond it. and "Dream Spheres", which he describes as "Realms" for "Those who generate", implying that they're connected to the concept of creation itself. Interestingly, an old message from an out-of-character Tyler suggested that "Dream Spheres" may hold some meta-relevance as well, as he implied that different GM's have their own "Dream Spheres".
Afterwards, the players were contacted by their allies in the Safehaven Discord server. IsocelesAssassin, GHOSTBABEL, Moonman, and the players all grouped together to finally initiate their plan to break into the Subspace. This plan involved IsocelesAssassin's mysterious unnamed allies sending him a special "Data Bomb", which would then need to be posted in the Astral Observatory Forum's "The Truth" board. This would disrupt Nocta's security and allow the players to log into the Subspace. Unfortunately, when the file arrived, the Data Bomb was missing - stolen by Pumpkinhead himself. This coincided with the release of a message log between Pumpkinhead and "AW", or "Astral Wolf" - the spirit of the Astral Timeline's version of Wolfcat.
Pumpkinhead entered into our realm when the players reverted Astralobservatory.net back to normal in 2019. He was the "orange" entity mentioned by Moonman and the "lurking" entity mentioned by Yuukichan. Shortly after this, he hunted down Astral Wolf's spirit and contained him somewhere. This is when Astral Wolf first met Yuukichan - or her spirit, at least. From this point onwards, Pumpkinhead was using Wolfcat's accounts and impersonating him. Eventually, the players became suspicious, resulting in Pumpkinhead working alongside Tenebris to conduct the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack".
The sole main purpose of the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack" was to avert suspicion away from Pumpkinhead by having Tenebris, pretending to be an out-of-character Tyler, denounce his canonicity. Ultimately, it was a success, as the players no longer considered Pumpkinhead to be an active threat afterwards. However, around this same time, Pumpkinhead trapped Astral Wolf inside a bottle via the "Poe in a Bottle" item. This explains the recent appearance of the "Poe in a Bottle" in the Dungeons & Dragons game and the "Ascended E-Girl" album - it presumably represents Astral Wolf's trapped state.
With the release of the "Ascended E-Girl" album, Yuukichan became trapped in its Amiibo Dungeon. However, she also took Astral Wolf's spirit into it with her - explaining her posting of the "Poe in a Bottle" during this time. Pumpkinhead was not planning for his and was enraged. Now, he's currently in possession of the "Data Bomb" and is actively crippling the players' contact with their allies. If the players are unable to somehow break into the Subspace, it's possible that they may stay isolated forever - and Tyler will remain lost within the Parallelos...

Story
After Pumpkinhead deleted the Safehaven Discord server, the players were largely cut off from their allies. However, GHOSTBABEL was still in the Internet Detectives Discord server, allowing them to send the following message:
𝕘𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕓𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕝
"DO NOT TRUST WOLFCAT. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY. DON'T BE FOOLED, HE IS HERE WATCHING."
Unfortunately, GHOSTBABEL was banned shortly after this...
On April 21st, 2020, Pumpkinhead continued chatting with the players - now using "PH.gif" as their avatar - a distorted image of Wolfcat.
My erstwhile mask's properties and powers ensured as much.
His essence lingers even now.
Or does that just refer to wolfcat?
A dream of my dreamer.
I am no Eulogy, Finitor, Devium, or any other insignificant identifiers labelled by speakers of false truths.
Soon I will reclaim my mask and ascend to the final layer.
Pumpkinhead refers to Astral Wolf as his "Mask". This implies that he was previously using Astral Wolf's spirit in a way similar to that of a conduit - not too unlike how Tenebris used John back in 2015. This is presumably what allowed him to impersonate Wolfcat so well. However, even though Astral Wolf is no longer in Pumpkinhead's possession, he claims that "His essence lingers now" - possibly explaining why Pumpkinhead's avatar still resembles Wolfcat.
Pumpkinhead also claims that he's not a person - nor is he an ascended spirit. Instead, he simply refers to himself as a "Dream" that was dreamt up by someone. While it's not clear what this means exactly, Pumpkinhead seems to want to become more than just a dream. He hopes to do this by reclaiming Astral Wolf's spirit and ascending to the "final layer", though he doesn't elaborate on what this means.
Around this same time, Patrem posted the following on Within Hubris:
/Patrem\
"Here now a portion of thine power shall be harbinged - here upon thy home. So too shall the key be granted when time come for its use."
This seems to imply that the players Ocarina powers are now tethered to Within Hubris, meaning that submissions will mainly only be accepted there instead of on Discord. However, this also seems to imply that the Ocarina is currently "locked" and that the players cannot use it - at least for the time being...
Meanwhile, the IIIII account became active back on Discord and began posted various images. Most of these were distorted excerpts of past conversations that the IIIII account had held in private with different players. The first of these was with the player ARGdov:
This is how I win.
He wanted desperately to get his message out and thought I would not notice if he did it this way.
This is really funny. It won't happen again.
The context of this conversation is a bit of a mystery. The individual speaking through the IIIII account here is most likely Tenebris, given their tone. They're most likely mocking Synchron's attempt to get some sort of message out, implying that this may have been in reference to when the two of them were fighting in a voice call on August 18th, 2019.
The exact context isn't too important - what matters is Tenebris's response to it. He claims that "this" is "how he wins" and his insistence that all of this is just a "game", possibly implying that he wants the players to remain confused and not take any of this seriously.
Afterwards, the IIIII account posted several excerpts from a conversation he had with Miss Jackson. As a reminder, Miss Jackson was a player who briefly joined the Internet Detectives one day before the voice call mentioned above occurred - August 17th, 2019. She had presumably been contacted by the IIIII account and was unnerved by their messages, believing that all of this - including the story of Ben Drowned - was real.
As a result, Miss Jackson was mocked by several Internet Detectives and eventually left the Discord server - much to Tenebris's delight. Supposedly, Miss Jackson's sincere belief was something that Synchron wished to "kindle" - and something that Tenebris hoped to extinguish. Regardless, the players were now finally being given a glimpse of the conversations that took place between Miss Jackson and the IIIII account - though parts of some messages have been removed:
You should know, right?
Forgive me for I have a feeling this is a statement I will not be able ((Cropped))
((Cropped)) bigger than him, much how we all are as kids when we must be made to truly grow up in this world
I'd go on to say that in the same way we all ((Cropped))
((Cropped)) presentative factor in such concepts at this point.
But now I am going on into philosophical tangents.
Yeah I know
Given the tone, it's likely that the entity speaking through the IIIII account here is Synchron. Miss Jackson asks Synchron if he knows who BEN is. Instead of answering outright, Synchron dives into some sort of esoteric evaluation of BEN. Unfortunately, not much can be made of this conversation due to how much of it has been cropped out. However, more excerpts were posted shortly afterwards:
If you go to them I can't exactly talk to you anymore
But you will probably figure out why once you get there
The worst thing about my current condition
Here, Miss Jackson seems to be asking if there's any sort of community where these topics can be discussed further. In response, Synchron hints towards the existence of the Internet Detectives. However, he claims that if Miss Jackson joins the Internet Detectives, he'll no longer be able to speak with her. This is similar to something that Synchron told the player Scout around this same time:
it will bee a long time before I can speak again now but I have told you these things
but I can technically still say stuff to you for now because your not awake so you dont know any of this yet
I can only talk to you like this because you dont know so they cant know
but once you know buddy I gotta go
you have not been around as much so it created a window that gave it a blind spot on your end
It seemed that if players were less active and less aware, Synchron could speak to them more freely. However, once they joined the Internet Detectives and became more active, Synchron could no longer speak to them actively...
Afterwards, another excerpt was posted:
I really do wanna give him a hug and say "hey me too buddy", but I don't really have time to ((Illegible)) either.
The thing that took him and likes to take a lot of other shit to is now very aware of what I am doing.
I probably should have taken the time to explain a few more things
Right off the bat I have already made it seem like I am Tyler in the normal way they would undIIIIII-
((A link to the Internet Detectives Discord server is sent.))
Here, Synchron can be seen sympathizing with Ben. He also reiterates that Tenebris is very aware of Synchron's actions and movements, which has limited his time to communicate with Miss Jackson. Interestingly, he implies once again that he somehow is Tyler - or at least another version of Tyler - but he regrets making the players initially think that he was "Tyler in the normal way they would understand".
This all adds some more context to how exactly the player Miss Jackson found her way into the Internet Detectives back in 2019 - as well as a reminder of the various restrictions that Synchron had to abide by and Tenebris's conflict with him.
Synchron then continued posting various cryptic messages across Discord - including the following:
Synchron
"ST GEORGE 5/23/2015. The rows are wayward, young straysinger. World. Merging."
While the significance of the date here is unknown, the mention of "Saint George" is interesting. As their name implies, this individual was a saint in Christianity. Interestingly, "George" was also the name of a spirit that the players briefly chatted with on Johnisdead.com through the "Pididoip" email address.

Checkpoint #1
Later that night, a video titled "N" was uploaded to a rather unexpected location - the "M" YouTube channel.
Description
N/A
<--- Click for Video Transcript
This video begins with footage of what appears to be a park at night. A cell phone tower can be seen in the distance. Someone who appears to be the player Circlehunter begins walking towards the cell phone tower and the video ends.
Summary
- This video simply shows the player Circlehunter walking towards a cell phone tower.
This video seemed to follow the same format as the older videos on the "M" YouTube channel - short clips of individuals travelling from one place to another - likely due to the effects of Helper's Hat. While it isn't entirely clear when this video was recorded, it seems to showcase the player Circlehunter travelling towards the "Cellphone Tower" - the same Cellphone Tower that The Gray Man visited in 2009 and left a device for SKM to later find in 2014. Why exactly Circlehunter would be visiting this Cellphone Tower is a mystery - as is the general significance of this Cellphone Tower in general...
Around the same time this video was uploaded, Synchron posted a link to yet another old canon source - Doug's old blog, "Letschasethemouse". Here, the players discovered that the blog now featured a new post:
where is this
help
Confused about this site's sudden return, the players decided to ask the player Dawn whether or not he was canon. He responded as follows:
Dawn of a New Day
"WITHIN THE MACHINE"
This seemed to suggest that only was the player Dawn indeed canon - he was also possibly the one responsible for this blog post. This was all starting to become a bit overwhelming... April 23rd was just around the corner, Pumpkinhead was active and handicapping the players, Letschasethemouse and the "M" channel had suddenly returned, and now the player Dawn was canon and seemingly trapped in the same mysterious "Machine" as Tyler and Patrem - the details of which are still unclear.
For the time being, all the players could do was continue searching for answers... Thankfully, this yielded some results, as a few oddities were discovered on Letschasethemouse. First, the blog now had a unique "Redirect Page" that featured repeating text. At first, this text was a standard 404 error message. However, as the players continued poking around, it suddenly changed to the following: "I'm watching you Xenquility. :)". It later changed once again, now reading "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE".
As the players continued their search, another video was suddenly uploaded to the "M" YouTube channel - "TRANSMISSION".
Description
JUST POST THE LINK
<--- Click for Video Transcript
This video begins with distorted, reversed footage from the video "E". Ciphers begin appearing on-screen that translate to the following:
"there is a second"
"he is watching even now"
"our friend posted it where it all began"
A cipher is then posted along with a slash next to an image of a mouse. This translates to the following:
/p/wheredidyou-get-that.html
Summary
- This seems to be a message hinting towards the existence of a "second one" - possibly a second "Data Bomb".
This video seems to be a message from GHOSTBABEL directed at the players... Given GHOSTBABEL's possession of Helper's Hat, it makes sense that they'd still have access to the "M" YouTube channel. GHOSTBABEL claims that there is a "second one" that's been hidden "where it all began" - likely meaning that one of IsocelesAssassin's unnamed allies has managed to hide a second "Data Bomb" somewhere.
The players noticed that the partial link posted by GHOSTBABEL matched the recent links discovered on Letschasethemouse. Sure enough, the URL fit perfectly, leading the players to a new page on Letschsethemouse: "https://letschasethemouse.blogspot.com/p/wheredidyou-get-that.html". On this page was a single image - "THE%2BOMB.gif".


This image file seemed to be the second "Data Bomb" itself. The players didn't waste any time and immediately sprung into action. Thanks to ARGdov's efforts in gaining Nocta's trust, he still had access to "The Truth" board on the Astral Observatory Forums. He quickly logged in and created a new thread within it titled "HERE YA GO", linking the "Data Bomb" to Astralobservatory.net.

As seen above, Pumpkinhead immediately responded to this using Wolfcat's old account, furiously questioning where and how the players managed to obtain a second "Data Bomb". This was coupled with a new blog post on the front page of Astralobservatory.net:

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT
April 21, 2020 - Uncategorized
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT
This all seemed to mirror ARGdov's posting of the "Bomb Plans" back in 2015 - much to Doug's fury. However, instead of dooming the players, ARGdov had saved them, using his unique position to undermine Pumpkinhead and carve a new path forward.
The "Data Bomb" already began taking its toll on the site. The front page of Astralobservatory.net had now become distorted as the entire page was now slightly jittering... Around this same time, GHOSTBABEL took advantage of Pumpkinhead's distracted state and rejoined the Internet Detectives Discord server:
𝕘𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕓𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕝
"Tʜᴇ sᴜʙsᴘᴀᴄᴇ. Tʜᴇ ᴜsᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ ɪs WELLOFSOULS. Yᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀssᴡᴏʀᴅ. GO."
GHOSTBABEL had delivered the second key - "WELLOFSOULS". This, combined with the first key obtained from the "Ascended E-Girl" album - "SKELETONKEY", allowed the players to finally log into Astralobservatory.net's hidden underbelly - The Subspace.

Checkpoint #2
The Subspace was heavily corrupted - no doubt due to the effects of the "Data Bomb". This resulted in the site's text and images becoming heavily distorted.


Thankfully, some of the Subspace was still readable. The front page of the Subspace, "https://astralobservatory.net/subspace" read as follows:
Welcome
Welcome to our inner most sanctum. Extreme measures have been taken to assure that the pages found here are obscured from any and all prying eyes.
You're safe here.
Welcome home.
As expected, the Astral Observatory presents the Subspace as a hidden directory that's meant to be exclusive for only the most trusted of members. This page also contained a navbar. Some of the pages listed here were ones that the players already had access to, such as the front page and the forums. However, some of these links were new - such as "https://astralobservatory.net/subspace/info".
Info
Various schools of thought accumulated from every corner of the Earth and beyond. Through study and experimentation, we will one day peer through the veil placed upon us.
Teachings
Lunar Mysticism
Alternate Universes
Greek Mythos and Spell Casting
Witchcraft
Runes
This "Info" page contained links to several other pages that covered different forms of magic, witchcraft, and esoteric studies. Let's cover each of these pages one-by-one:
Lunar Mysticism
Since ancient times, the moon has been worshipped as a sacred symbol that holds unnatural powers. Some believe the moon is responsible for everything ranging from mood swings to the passage of time. The following teachings have been found to be the most consistent throughout the ages and across many different religions.
This page contained several different sections of moon-related concepts:
Luna
The divine embodiment of the moon - the Lunar Goddess Luna. In contrast to the masculine deity of the sun, Luna is often depicted as a motherly figure. Luna's worshippers have an affinity for the night and often hold various ceremonies dedicated to Her in sacred moonlight. Historically, these rites have consisted of elegant banquets and festivals that last till dawn.
In many cultures, it is customary for moon worshippers to craft and wear masks to these celebrations. The designs of these masks vary wildly and often include elaborate, colorful designs. For those who are interested in creating their own lunar mask, I have provided the following guide: basic-mask-guide-paper-mache.txt
The description of Luna here is fairly vague and simple. It also mentions Luna's supposed counterpart - a masculine deity representative of the sun - possibly referencing Helios. This section also contained a link to a simple guide on how to create your own mask. It's possible that these simple definitions and guides were designed less to divulge actual deep esoteric truths and instead plant these basic ideas in the heads of users.
Lunar Realms
Some religions believe in alternate worlds that exist beyond our own. It's said that, through the moon's various magical properties, one may travel to these strange, alien realms through devout worship of the moon. These worlds, referred to as the Parallelos by some, are believed to contain secrets that unlock abilities such as teleportation, astral projection, and even immortality.
This is another simplified version of Lunar Children teachings, vaguely advertising concepts such as teleportation and immortality. This also explains how Yuukichan was aware of the term "Parallelos" back in 2018...
The Faceless
Among the many mysterious oddities found on the moon's surface, none is moreso than the creatures known as "The Faceless". Not that different from the concept of extraterrestrials, The Faceless are strange creatures that are said to live upon and worship the moon. It's belived that these hivemind beings have the potential to tap into Luna's vast reservoir of spiritual energy and preform what can only be described as miracles.
These Faceless creatures are rumored to occasionally descend to Earth and communicate with a few lucky chosen humans every year on a sacred day.
This is yet another simplification of Lunar Children beliefs - so much so that this version likens the Absque Fascie to aliens - something that NotAHoax would no doubt be hooked by. Of course, we now know that the Absque Fascie are far more than this...
That was all for the Lunar Mysticism page. Next up is the page for "Alternate Universes".
Alternate Universes
Originating as a simple thought experiment, the idea of alternate universes and timelines has slowly gained more and more credence over the past few decades. Now, scientists and clerics alike are looking into the concept further. In the modern day, it's generally accepted that universes alternate to our own do exist and have perhaps affected us on a deeper level than we may initially think...
This page was also divided up into several different sections:
Multiverse Theory
The theory that, much like our solar system, our universe is but a single instance of an infinitely expanding collective. In our vast universe, there is an incredibly high probability that other planets similar if not identical to our Earth exist. The same school of thought can be applied with multiverse theory. If our universe exists in an infinite void, is it not possible that there exists a universe out there among the countless others that is nearly identical to our own?
Timelines and Infinite Possibilities
Another concept stemming from that of multiverse theory is that of infinite universes through alternate timelines. This approach is similar to the thought experiment known as "Schrödinger's cat". This theory believes that for every single decision we make, an alternate universe or timeline exists where a different decision was made. Whether the act of making the decision is what spawns these split timelines, or they simply already existed out within the void as describied by multiverse theory, the fact is that there is an infinite number of our "others" spread across the ether experiencing worlds both vastly different and uncannily similar to our own.
Both of these concepts vaguely tie into how we know the universe of Johnisdead works - to some extent, at least. We've witness countless alternate timelines thanks to events such as Youshouldnthavedonethat.net's return and very existence of the Astral Timeline itself. Interestingly, this section directly mentions the "Schrödinger's cat' experiment and the concept of small decisions having large ramifications in our different timelines evolve.
Aggregation
Each and every one of us is unique. We all have our own thoughts, opinions, ideals, and methods. However, some believe that through the multiverse, it is possible to tap into our other selves and "link" our consciousnesses across space and time. Through this method, it is said that one can travel through and experience alternate universes.
This finally gives us a definitive look at the term Aggregation, which is the concept of an individual linking their consciousness with their alternate selves across different timelines or universes. Supposedly, this would allow one to possibly travel between these different timelines at will. This sounds very similar to what BUP has achieved - what with him supposedly being connected to every version of Greth in existence...
