The YSHDT Arc is the first arc of Johnisdead. This arc began on January 22nd and ended on May 14th, 2015. It is highly recommended that one is knowledgeable on both the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge story written by Alex Hall and the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask before reading through the timelines. This arc introduced pivotal characters such as Vincent and Patrem and required players to explore the cryptic pages of YSHDT.com.

GreyouTT 10:08 PM: "Whoa what the fuck? When the hell did that happen?"
Sengi 10:10 PM: "The 15th, apparently. I made a thread to discuss it kinda maybe sorta" thelaw 1:03 AM: "You did not know?"
Summary
Thelaw asks if Jadusable's ARG is returning, claiming to have just read over it a few days ago.
Thelaw posts links to two websites associated with Jadusable's ARG followed by a never before seen website - "http://yshdt.com".
At 8:03 PM, players began investigating YSHDT.com. The front page was titled "It's been too long." and contained the image "site1.png", which featured the text "I survived.". The page's source code also hid the text "The sky is falling, the people are crying. Where is your link now?"
At 8:44 PM, the player Sengi created a thread for investigating YSHDT.com. (Link)
At 8:48 PM, thelaw posted the following in the YSHDT.com thread: "yes hello I am that new guy. So the ARG is coming back soon?"
At an unknown time, the front page of YSHDT.com updated. The page now contained the image "site2.png" - an edited version of "site1.png" with text that read "I'm still waiting. Let's play again soon.". This image also contained an image of an eyeless Link from the game "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" faintly in the background. This page also contained an audio file titled "Game over.wav" which was a music box version of the game over theme from the original "The Legend of Zelda" game playing in reverse.
At 10:10 PM, the player Sengi discovered that YSHDT.com had only been registered on January 15th.
January 24th, 2015
At 8:59 PM, the player GreyouTT submitted the "Oath to Order" hoping to summon a new "Link".
At an unknown time, the players formed a group called the "Internet Detectives". The Internet Detectives began utilizing a Skype group that was previously used to investigate a Ben Drowned-related videogame titled "Remember.exe".
At an unknown time, two new players, Tyler and Jacob, created a theme song for the Internet Detectives.
February 13th, 2015
At an unknown time, YSHDT.com underwent several changes. The front page now contained the video "dontstickaround.swf".
This video begins completely black. The ocarina prompt from Majora's Mask appears with the accompanying sound effect. The "Oath to Order" is played, followed by a laugh from the "Skull Kid".
Summary
This video simply featured the "Oath to Order" being played - presumably due to the player GreyouTT's submission. After this, a laugh from the "Skull Kid" can be heard.

At an unknown time, players discovered that remaining on the front page of YSHDT.com for too long would redirect them to a new page: "http://yshdt.com/news". This page was titled "0" and contained the image "1s.png" - a newspaper written by an individual named Douglas P.. The contents of this article will be covered below. This page's source code also hid text that read "What does he know?".
Left behind in a small town, one of the few scientifically-minded pastors is left to govern his own local chapter. In this small town, however, a seemingly large discover has been found. Now that I think about it, the father there didn't really want me to Know the specifics, only that it is the next stage ((Redacted)). Eternal happiness is well at hand, he claims, due to his amazing discovery about how ((Redacted)) data! ((Redacted)) of two worlds, ((Redacted)) will lead to the understanding of ((Redacted)) our new scientific world! Do read on, to see the future of ((Redacted)) knowledge as a whole!
Continued on page 8
Summary
This article seems to originate from a high school newspaper. The highschool in question is Cherrington High and its author is Douglas P..
Doug writes about a local cult in a small town whose leader made some sort of scientific discovery regarding spirituality.
Doug refers to the leader of this cult as "The father".
Doug implies that this discovery relates to eternal happiness, data, and alternate worlds.
This article is supposedly continued on "Page 8" of the newspaper.
This image is entirely black-and-white aside from a small Red Dot that can be found next to the message regarding "Page 8".
At an unknown time, players discovered that the capitalized letters found in "1s.png" spelled the word "LINKED", leading players to discover a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/linked". This page was titled "Linked" and contained the image "blue.jpg" - a photo of the ocean's surface taken from below. This page also contained the audio "eulb.wav", which contained an SSTV signal. This SSTV signal contained an image of BEN with text that read "GAME OVER. CONTINUE? >YES. >NO."
At an unknown time, players discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/warning". This page was titled "Untitled Document" and contained hidden text within its source code that read "Curiosity killed that cat. That's what the mother said to the brat. But the cat didn't listen. And then lost it's vision. Because it couldn't find it's way home. Go home."
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/warning" was deleted and replaced with a generic 404 error page. However, this 404 page hid a SSTV signal titled "Soon.wav" which revealed the text "Find your way home. He needs you. But you cannot help him If you cannot help yourselves. 4 days."
February 15th, 2015
At 2:50 AM, the player Kidpichu discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/warning" had updated. It now contained text that read "For more information, see /home."
At 2:50 AM, players discovered a new page - "http://yshdt.com/home". The title of this page read "Play Ball" and it featured the image "home.bmp". It also contained the audio "brats.wav" - an altered version of the Internet Detectives' theme song with someone whispering "No..." at the end.
February 16th, 2015
At 3:44 AM, the player Jacob discovered that the image "home.bmp" contained the file "warning.txt" hidden within it via steganography, which read "How can you play a game you haven’t even started?".
At 3:44 AM, the player Jacob discovered that the image "1s.png contained the file "oh.txt" hidden within it via steganography. This file read as follows:
This video begins with gameplay footage of Majora's Mask. Deku Link is in Termina Field near Snowhead. It is 8:00 PM on the night of the first day, and he has two rupees. The Deku Mask and Lens of Truth can be seen in his inventory. Deku Link dies, presumably to an Eeno enemy, which can be seen in the background.
The game over screen appears, presenting the player with the option to continue. The cursor highlights "No", "Yes", and "No", in that order. The following text then appears:
"DAWN of the Second Day"
"DAWN of the Third Day"
"DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY"
The option "No" is selected, causing the video to begin corrupting. The screen fades to white as the following text appears:
"You failed.
At the most basic task."
The Happy Mask Salesman's laugh can be heard. An image of the Ocarina of Time appears and the "Song of Time" is played. The word "No" then appears on a black screen as the Skull Kid's laugh is heard.
Summary
This video features gameplay footage of "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask".
Deku Link is seen being killed by an "Eeno" enemy on the Night of the First Day.
When the "Game Over" screen appears, the player is asked if they wish to continue. The cursor then alternates between the "No" and "Yes" options.
The various screens for when the player enters a new day in-game flash on screen.
The "No" option is selected, resulting in the players being chided for failing to save Doug.
The "Song of Time" plays as both the "Happy Mask Salesman" and "Skull Kid" laugh.

At an unknown time, players discovered that remaining on the front page of YSHDT.com for too long would redirect them to a new website - Letschasethemouse. (Link) This was a blog owned by a user named "DandP". The blog's background image was an edited version of the band Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album cover art. The blog's favicon was an image of a pixelated face. Players began chatting with DandP in the comments of his blog posts. Both these posts and comments can be found below:
First Post: 2/13/15 - Beginnings
I just re-created my blog.
It sucks starting from scratch, but whatever. At least I get to start anew.
Second Post: 2/13/15
Today was fun. I spent most of my time inside today, reading articles on the internet.
I should join my high school newspaper, it'd be fun.
Third Post: 2/15/15
Work today was bad.
I have to tell you, it'd be a terrible fate to be relegated a job you know you suck at, when a better position is out there.
A better position for me.
Fourth Post 2/15/15
This is odd. My friend told me of a club that he was hoping I'd join. He told me that they could let me live forever. And that we'd be changing things inside out soon.
I'm not too sure about this, but why not?
Fifth Post
2/16/15 - Finding a Religion
I've been invited to go visit their congregation out in the woods by my friend. We're going to head out in about an hour and a half. I'm excited, if not a little worried.
Sixth Post 2/16/15 - The Truth
I'm going to try to figure out everything I can. This is huge. I swore an oath of secrecy, but I'm still just so amazed by everything they told me.
I'll have a long ways ahead of me, and a lot of work to do before I'm ready, though.

11:45 PM Jacob Anthony: "Hey, friend. Are you there?" 11:54 PM DandP: ((This message was deleted)) 11:55 PM DandP: "Sorry, I've been having trouble with my computer recently. Anyways, who are you?"
11:56 PM: Jacob Anthony: "I read what I believe to be you article?" 12:00 AM DandP: "Huh? I haven't written any articles."
12:01 AM Jacob Anthony: "I'm sorry, may I ask your name?" 12:02 AM DandP: "Douglas."
12:02 AM Jacob Anthony: "Douglas P?" 12:03 AM DandP: "..Yeah. I guess my name kinda gives that away."
12:04 AM Jacob Anthony: "http://i.imgur.com/kMohnwR.jpg Did you not write this article?" 12:05 AM DandP: "No...but that's my high school. I'm actually getting creeped out now. Are you guys from school?"
12:07 AM Jacob Anthony: "Yes we are. But it feels like we know whats going on. We know you are interested in this religious organisation but I don't think you should do it." 12:09 AM DandP: "Alright, that takes a load off my mind. I know it's a little odd to see a new religion start up, especially in this Christian nation of ours, but it will lead us all closer to god and happiness."
12:10 AM ADU: "Mind if i ask for the rest of that article? that is, if you are able to get it."
12:10 AM Jacob Anthony: "I understand what it sounds like but we've seen this happen before. This particular one isn't safe." 12:11 AM DandP: "I'm sorry, friend, but I haven't seen that article in the paper. I wasn't even aware we had color in our school newspaper."
12:15 AM Jacob Anthony: "if I may ask, what does the P in your name stand for?"
12:18 AM Jacob Anthony: "How could we go about joining?"
12:20 AM Jacob L.: "I am also interested." 12:22 AM DandP: "I will set you up with my friend. He will contact you through e-mail or blogspot."
12:22 AM ADU: "Mind if i get an email too? Email is **********@gmail.com" 12:25 AM DandP: "I don't think they would appreciate so many new members at once. I'm sorry."
12:26 AM Jacob Anthony: "My email is ***************@gmail.com if you were talking to me about setting me up. It would be much appreciated."
12:28 AM Jacob L.: "Mine is TheSunIsTheBestSolarBody@gmail.com" 12:30 AM DandP: "My friend will contact you in a day or two. I have to talk to him."
12:31 AM ADU: "Sweet, Thanks Dan"
12:31 AM Jacob Anthony: "I thank you much. I look forward to it." 12:31 AM DandP: "Not you, the sun. I see by your profile you don't live near me."
12:32 AM ADU: "It doesent say where i live"
11:48 PM Stevey: "do you have a name for this my friend? I'd like to join also.." 11:57 PM DandP: "I'm sorry, you probably don't live near me. But hopefully someday the group will spread far enough so that you may join, also."
11:58 PM Stevey: "I shall await eagerly for this day. Thank you, regardless. And now my wait begins.."
12:04 AM Stevey: "I am currently in the UK, if that matters any.." 12:06 PM DandP: "One day we will hopefully have congregations around the world."
11:55 PM Mugen Kagemaru: "Be careful. Things may not be as they seem and you may be wandering into a spider's web..."
11:56 PM ADU: "No." 11:58 PM DandP: "What?"
12:00 AM Mugen Kagemaru: "Form your own thoughts. Let none think for you. But most importantly, take nothing at face value. Remember the Assassins, their creed, and what that creed means."
12:02 AM Zangoose: "Are you serious? The Assassins Creed?? Ignore this guy, he's just trolling" 12:04 AM DandP: "Good advice. I will ignore this guy from now on."
11:57 PM Oceanstuck: "huh. seems like youre turning a new leaf. ive been needing something like that for a while, so can i have in?" 12:01 AM DandP: "As I told another person, I don't think you live close enough to me to be able to join. But someday hopefully you'll be able to join also."
12:04 AM Oceanstuck: "are you sure? where _do_ you live anyway? is it near some cherrington high place?" 12:07 AM DandP: "This is kinda scary. Are you guys from the government?"
12:10 AM Oceanstuck: "as funny as itd be to say yes just to see your reaction, no. i just really want to know about this new faith youve found and if i can join"
12:19 AM Oceanstuck: "so tell me, what makes you think i live too far away to join" 12:23 AM DandP: "I just said I didn't think. That was before I knew you were from my school."
12:12 AM X3KidPichu: "sounds interesting. Besides location is there any prerequisite to joining? I'd like to prepare if this ever becomes widespread." 12:15 AM DandP: "You must be of age, have an open mind, and have a great affinity for space. Namely, the moon."
12:28 AM X3KidPichu: "Alright thank you so much. I'm even more excited to join now."
Summary
DandP has been invited to join a secretive cult by a friend.
DandP is interested in joining his high school's newspaper team, indicating that he could perhaps be the "Douglas P" who wrote the article about a "religious discovery" seen in "1s.png".
DandP confirms that he is Douglas P - the same person who wrote the newspaper article.
Doug claims that he has not written any articles and is not on his high school's newspaper team, implying that players were now speaking to a past version of Doug - possibly due to the "Song of Time".
The player Jacob asks if he can join the cult. Doug says his friend will be contacting Jacob soon to begin the recruitment process.
Doug claims that Jacob is the only player who lives close enough to be eligible to join the cult. Jacob lives in Florida, implying that this is where the cult is located as well.
Doug says the cult has something to do with the moon, indicating that it has some connection to the "Moon Children".

At 1:00 AM, Doug made a new post titled "Deja Vu" on Letschasethemouse:

I just had a serious case of Deja Vu. The building they took me too looked so familiar. I could have sworn it used to be the old fishery. I'll grab some pictures later. Maybe you guys know what I'm talking about.

1:21 AM Mugen Kagemaru: "Actually, yes they do."
1:04 AM Wolfcat22: "It looks pretty fishy to me, man. Be safe." 1:09 AM DandP: "Yeah, that's why I tried to hide away while taking the pictures. They probably wouldn't like me sharing them, but it's just so interesting..."

At 7:07 PM, the player ADULT_LINK submitted the "New Wave Bossa Nova" in an attempt to contact someone.
At 9:29 PM, the player Eve discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/help". The title of this page read "Untitled Document" and simply contained the text "No.".
February 19th, 2015
At 12:10 AM, a user named "/Patrem\" joined Within Hubris. The word "Patrem" is Latin for "Father", and their status read "Vocatique" - a Latin term that means "called" or "summoned". This imples that the "New Wave Bossa Nova" summoned Patrem. Their avatar depicted a strange, distorted, purple entity. Patrem began speaking with players in the thread they created for YSHDT.com discussion. The covnversation went as follows:
2/19/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (JID Thread)
/Patrem\ 12:10 AM: "I heard my children crying."
Sengi 12:24 AM: "And who might you be?" /Patrem\ 12:33 AM: "Three of you are not as you seem."
Sengi 12:37 AM: "This one's for the record... History is written by the victors" /Patrem\ 12:58 AM: "I am calling. I am called."
Sengi 1:02 AM: "That translates to "I am calling. I am called" or so we believe... What calls you and what is your purpose?" /Patrem\ 1:30 AM: "I came to the fishery, and the fools trapped me inside him. Vincent, return to your slumber now. There is no home for you brats."
Oceanstuck 1:36 AM: "why were you at the fishery? who is this vincent? who trapped you in who? is this meant to be taken literally?" /Patrem\ 1:55 AM: ((A link to an audio file featuring reversed music, loud sounds, and what sounds like Patrem whispering "John is dead now")) /Patrem\ 1:55 AM: "He also enjoyed music. o n urn d.

Mugen Kagemaru 3:43 AM: "Is Vincent's last name Shaw?" /Patrem\ 4:06 AM: "Not Shaw; I lielaylayed in another; I am the one who honored her first."
Mugen Kagemaru 4:35 AM: "Could the veil be lifted by a maelstrom?" /Patrem\ 4:39 AM: "http://yshdt.com/help"
Mugen Kagemaru 4:49 AM: "Is there anything else to be found, or should we cut our losses and start over?" /Patrem\ 4:53 AM: "Your tricks are but the humorous wrigglings of an insect. What day do you think it is child? Where has your emit gone?"
Mugen Kagemaru 4:55 AM: "But next question, what is the name of your host?" /Patrem\ 5:22 AM: ((A strange reversed audio file is posted.)) /Patrem\ 5:26 AM: "Make your final request, I grow tired of your games and your foolish ways."
Mugen Kagemaru 5:38 AM: "How do we contact Vincent if necessary? Furthermore, Douglas' newspaper article mentioned a pastor. Who is this pastor?" /Patrem\ 5:48 AM: ((A discolored image of the fishery is posted.)) /Patrem\ 5:48 AM: "Some children have drowned, others will burn. I am through giving you my pity." /Patrem\ 6:09 AM: "Go back child, go back, and try to wet the ashes." /Patrem\ 6:09 AM: "Say hello to your composer for me. I already have been."
Summary
Patrem hints that three players are not what they seem.
Patrem implies that he is "The Father" - the leader of Doug's cult. He also claims that he was the one who honored Luna first.
Patrem claims that he was "trapped inside" someone named Vincent at the fishery, implying he is a ghostly spirit of sorts using someone named Vincent as a vessel. He also claims the players already know Vincent.
Patrem posts the mysterious messge " o n urn d. Now he has ascended."
Patrem tells the players to try and "wet the ashes", claiming that "Some children have drowned, others will burn."
The player Mugen Kagemaru submitted the "Inverted Song of Time".

At 1:14 AM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemouse:
I'm a little worried.
After telling my friend of the new recruit, he had a plethora of questions. He doesn't seem too happy about this. He hasn't talked to me all day today.

Summary
Doug's friend is upset that he told others about the cult and sent the player Jacob to him to be recruited.
At 11:19 PM, the player Mugen Kagemaru submitted the "Song of Storms" in response to Patrem's "wet the ashes" phrase.
February 20th, 2015
At 12:33 AM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemouse:
They said I had to stay away for a while.
That I'd be given more time to sort things out.
I don't know what this all means. Right after they told me this, it started pouring outside.
Is this a sign of things to come?
Comments:
12:41 AM Zangoose: "Lad, i'm not too sure about that group and whether it's safe for you or not... So much secrecy isnt healthy and the fact that they dont let you join outright doesnt help things much... Stay wary, my friend" 12:42 AM DandP: "They're only secretive to outsiders, just like any religion. They're my friends and family. I won't turn my backs on them."
Summary
The cult has forbidden Doug from visiting the fishery as punishment for him initiating the recruitment of the player Jacob without permission.
It's suddenly started raining heavily outside Doug's home - likely due to the "Song of Storms".
The player Sengi attempts to warn Doug about the cult's secrecy, but Doug views this as normal behavior and still remains loyal to them.
At 12:50 AM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemouse:
It seems like the rain stopped, even though it was supposed to go on until the next day.
Everything is still flooded, though. I hope the place of meeting is alright...
I might head out there now.
Summary
Doug claims that the rain suddenly stopped - likely due to the submission of the "Song of Storms".
Doug is heading to the fishery to ensure that it's not flooded.
At 1:17 AM, Doug made a new post Letschasethemouse:
Hopefully it's not as flooded as I'm worrying about.
I'll post more tomorrow.
Summary
Doug confirms that he's heading to the fishery and claims he'll post more tomorrow.

Drown plays the "Song of Unhealing" and the sound of someone drowning, leading to some players speculating that he miht be Ben.
At 1:33 AM, the players John and ADULT_LINK discovered the front page of YSHDT.com had updated. The page now featured the video "swf.swf". The page's source also hid the text"/vincent".
This video begins completely black. The ocarina prompt from Majora's Mask appears with the accompanying sound effect. The "Song of Inverted Time" is played. Shortly after this, a distorted photo of the inside of the fishery is shown as if from the perspective of someone breathing heavily, as a panting sound effect can be heard as the camera bobs up and down.
Summary
This video features the "Inverted Song of Time" being played - presumably a response to the player Mugen Kagemaru's submission.
A distorted shot of the interior of the fishery is shown as somehow can be heard breathing heavily.

At 1:33 AM, the player John discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/vincent". This page was titled "1" hid the text "He may be given more time to live yet." in its source code. This page also contained the audio "time.wav" - a continuous drum beat. This page also featured four images:
"Doug.jpg" - A photo of Link transforming into "Deku Link" with blood on it. Clicking this would redirect players to Letschasethemouse.
"2.png" - A photo of Link transforming into "Goron Link" with an "X" drawn on it.

At 2:28 AM, the player Jacob received an email from someone named "Mason", which read as follows:
Hello. This is Doug’s friend, Mason. He’s allowed me to use his E-Mail to contact you, so that you don’t believe it is spam. Since we’re thinking that we’re going to have an opening in the future, we would gladly accept you into our group. But first, you must pass a short series of tests to make sure you would be loyal to our cause. The first, is the official chant for recruits into our order. Please make a video, or record you reading this: I spit on my mother’s womb for it is filth, Luna shall cradle me with her glory. I strike down my father for he is weak, our Father shall grant me his might. I shall know that this family is sacred, a meta tribe of masters. I will heed the cry, of the children in the night, for I am as they are. I am, have been, and will be as a god. Though we may be of flesh we shall transcend, into the night, our mothers arms and know the euphoria of flying. The glory of ascension
Summary
Mason introduces himself as Doug's friend - presumably the same one who introduced him to the cult in the first place.
Mason informs the player Jacob that the cult has allowed him to join the cult because they'll soon have an opening. However, he'll have to pass a series of tests first.
Mason gives the player Jacob his first task - uploading a video of himself reciting the cult's mantra.
At 3:13 AM, the player ADULT_LINK submitted "Epona's Song", hoping to save Drown.
At 3:27 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris. He began chatting with the players in the ARG thread:
2/20/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (JID Thread)
/Patrem\ 3:27 AM: "Now that I have stabilized myself in this plane I can take a moment to explain. You think yourselves detectives, and yet you fail time and time again at the most simple of tasks. That child only seeks to mislead you. I have been watching you, you frightened sniveling children. You lack patience and you lack courage. Why should I even begin to help you when you can’t even stay on the path laid plain before you?"
ADULT_LINK 3:42 AM: "Which child?" /Patrem\ 3:48 AM: "Fool, the one who had you all cowering in fear. Mortals are all the same, cowering idiots. If not for our mutual needs I would waste no time with you ignorant children."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "A name, smartass. Give their name. You might think yourself clever, but assuming we know who you speak of when we don't doesn't get us anywhere."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "Patrem: "Mortals are all the same, cowering idiots.""
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "True of them as that might be, it doesn't help if you make assumptions."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:58 AM: "Patrem: "If not for our mutual needs I would waste no time with you ignorant children.""
Mugen Kagemaru: 3:58 AM: "Nor would we give even you the time of day if we didn't have anything else to work with. Show some gratitude and take our limits into account." /Patrem\ 4:34 AM: ((A disturbing audio file is posted. This file contains the "Song of Unhealing" along with a voice repeating the name "Ben" and "You already know"))
Summary
Patrem claims that he has now "stabilized himself" in our realm, implying that "Epona's Song" is allowing him to speak more clearly now.

At 3:30 PM, Doug made a new post titled "Watched" on Letschasethemouse:
Watched
I went to the meeting place. It was, oddly, not as bad as I'd imagined it'd be.
It's closer to the water level, but there wasn't any flooding.
However, the entire time I was there, I felt odd. For a second, I could have sworn I saw a figure in the window watching my every move, but that's probably just my paranoia.
Summary
Doug says that the fishery is strangely not flooded at all despite being on lower ground.
Doug claims he thought someone at the fishery was watching him through a window.
At 3:55 PM, a user named "The Man" joined the Internet Detectives Skype group and began chatting with the players. Unfortunately, this conversation was not archived. The Man claimed that he was the GM of the ARG. He also claimed that "Drown" was simply a distraction and not to take everyone and everything at face value. After this, he left the Skype group. This conversation was presumably OoC.
February 21st, 2015
At 2:46 AM, The Man joined the Internet Detectives Skype group and began chatting with the players. Unfortunately, this conversation was not archived. He chided the players for not spreading his message from the previous night across the various Skype groups involved with the ARG. In an attempt to prove that he is indeed the GM of the ARG, he claimed that Doug's next post on Letschasethemouse would contain the phrase "the sun is shining brightly". This conversation was presumably OoC.
At 2:55 AM, Doug replied to a player's comment on Letschasethemouse warning him to be careful with "I don't need to be careful around my family, and as such I don't need to be careful around my own home. But thanks for being worried about me. The sun is shining brightly, so it will dry up this rain." This contained the phrase "the sun is shining brightly", proving that The Man was indeed the GM of the ARG.
At 9:10 PM, the player Seeker submitted the video "StoneMask.arg" - a video of Majora's Mask featuring Link taking off the "Deku Mask" and applying the "Stone Mask". This was done in an attempt to hide Doug from whatever was watching him at the fishery.
February 22nd, 2015
At 12:28 AM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemoues titled "Excommed".
Excommed
All day, my friends and fellow family ignored my calls. They didn't speak to me, even when I asked them questions right in front of their face.
I'm confused.
((A photo of a man sitting alone against a wall is posted.))
Comments:
1:01 AM Player: "Yo, are you alright man?" 1:05 AM DandP: "Yes, I am."
1:08 AM Player: "That's bad."
1:02 AM CircleHunter: "Hey, man. I know how it feels being ignored, but just know you have people looking out for you. Do you need anything?" 1:05 AM DandP: "I just want to learn the truth about life..."
1:35 AM CircleHunter: "Ah, yeah I feel you. By family, did you mean your actual family, or the people you recently met?"
Summary
Doug says that his family and friends have been completely ignoring him all day - likely an effect of the "Stone Mask".

At 12:45 AM, the player Jacob received another email from Mason:
We have discussed things, and have decided to allow you to join through three more trials. The first of which will test your courage. We ask that you spend as long as possible recording yourself staring into a camera, thinking of your deepest fears. Through your facial expression and eye movements, we will be able to see how courageous you are.
Summary
Mason informs the player Jacob that the cult has decided to let him join - though he'll have to complete three more trials first.
Mason informs the player Jacob that his first trial will test his courage and that he'll be tasked with recording his face while pondering his deepest fears.
At 1:36 AM, the player Dawn submitted a video simply titled "video", which contained footage of Majora's Mask featuring Link removing the Stone Mask and equipping the "Mask of Truth". This was done in response to Doug claiming he wanted to know "the truth".
At 2:06 AM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "TRUTH":
TRUTH
AGGREGATING LINKS…TIME LINKS AGGREGATED. WHAT?
Comments:
2:17 AM Wickedlady4180: "Doug, is that you?" 2:19 AM DandP: "I WAS ONCE HE."
2:51 AM Wickedlady4180: "Is that you, Father?" DandP 3:00 AM: "SHIFT YOURSELF."
2:25 AM Player: "Who sent you? Or, what summoned you?" 2:27 AM DandP: "THEY."

2:28 AM DandP: "THEY."
2:29 AM DandP: "THEY"
2:29 AM DandP: "T H E Y"
2:33 AM Player: "They." 2:34 AM DandP: "/them"
2:14 AM Mugen Kagemaru: "...Wha? What does that even mean?" 2:15 AM DandP: "DO NOT WASTE MY TIME, FOR IT IS LIMITED."
2:21 AM Mugen Kagemaru: "It's not a waste, that bit about time links made no sense!" 2:24 AM DandP: "YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE HANDED INFORMATION. YOU MUST TAKE IT."
2:29 AM Mugen Kagemaru: "Paternal fledgeling, you waste our even more limited time with your smartass remarks." 2:33 AM DandP: "YOUR CHANCE FOR INFORMATION HAS COME TO AN END.
2:33 AM DandP: "FOR YOUR INSOLENCE, YOU SHALL BE SILENCED THOUGHT THIS MEDIUM. 2:33 AM DandP: "FFOOGFOBG1DtIRuSVR9BEFOMG1HtIRuWGxfh"
Summary
Doug is now speaking very strangely and somewhat maliciously.
Doug makes a remark about "TIME LINKS AGGREGATED".
They players ask if they're still speaking to Doug. He answers "I WAS ONCE HE", implying that the players were now speaking to a malicious present-day version of Doug - likely due to the submission of the "Mask of Truth".
When asked who summoned him, Doug answers "THEY" and "/they".
At 2:35 AM, the player Kidpichu discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/them". This page was titled "These" and contained the images "table.jpg" and "getthenotes.png" - an image of a table and four distorted photos of the players. This page also contained the audio "wet.wav", which was a recording of a rainstorm. This page's source hid an excerpt of a Wikipedia article about electrocution: "EXECUTION BY ELECTROCUTION USUALLY PERFORMED USING AN ELECTRIC CHAIR IS AN EXECUTION METHOD ORIGINATING IN THE UNITED STATES IN WHICH THE CONDEMNED PERSON IS STRAPPED TO A SPECIALLY BUILT WOODEN CHAIR AND ELECTROCUTED THROUGH ELECTRODES PLACED ON THE HEAD AND LEG THIS EXECUTION METHOD WAS CREATED BY EMPLOYEES OF THOMAS EDISON DURING THE WAR OF CURRENTS."
At 3:35 AM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemouse:
I woke up with a start just a little ago. My friend texted me, and told me he was sorry for dismissing me.
I'm starting to feel a little better.
Comments:
3:43 AM Dovid M: "I just wanted to make sure your feeling all right. It must have been hard having everyone ignore you for no reason. do you have any idea what you were doing in your last post? It looks kind of like gibberish." 3:44 AM: DandP: "My last post was about everyone ignoring me. What do you mean?"
3:52 AM Dovid M: "You can't see what I'm talking about? Do you see a post called "The Truth" Underneath this?" 3:56 AM DandP: "...Like I told you, the last post I see is the one about everyone ignoring me. What are you going on about?"
3:58 AM Dovid M: "Sorry, there must be something wrong with my computer... it gets like that sometimes" DandP 4:00 AM: "I know what that feels like."
3:47 AM Oceanstuck: "glad to know that got sorted out. hey weird question, who is this friend and whats he like anyway?" 3:48 AM DandP: "I'm not sure he would like me sharing his information online."
3:53 AM Oceanstuck: "oh i dont need any particular personal information, just a general idea of what kind of guy he is and /maybe/ a first name...probably not the last part" 3:57 AM DandP: "That's....really odd. Why do you want me to tell you this?"
4:00 AM Oceanstuck: "just curious"
4:05 AM CircleHunter: "Hey, glad to see you're okay! I also have a question. Have you heard from Jacob lately?" 4:07 AM DandP: "No, I haven't. Last I heard, he was still going through the initiation process. For some reason, his is taking longer than usual. This only usually happens for important members."
4:11 AM DandP: "I'm going to head off for tonight. I feel oddly tired. I want to study my notes for a little while before going to sleep, at least."
Summary
Doug says that Mason has apologized for ignoring him and being upset about telling the player Jacob about the cult.
Doug is unable to see the "TRUTH" post and does not have any recollection of it.
Doug claims that the player Jacob is still going through the initiation process and that it is taking longer that usual - something that only happens for important individuals.
At 5:04 AM, the player Mugen Kagemaru submitted the video "PostmanSearch.arg" - a video containing footage of Majora's Mask featuring Link equipping the "Postman's Hat" and searching through a mailbox. This was an attempt by the players to retrieve the notes mentioned in "getthenotes.png".
At 5:44 PM, the player Eve sent Patrem a PM (Private Message) on Within Hubris asking if he is the first to ascend.
At 9:57 PM, Patrem replied to Eve's PM with "I predate the forerunner."
At 10:52 PM, a user named Helper joined Within Hubris. Their avatar was the "Postman's Hat" from Majora's Mask, implying they were summoned thanks to "PostmanSearch.arg". Helper posted an image of someone's mail, implying that the Postman's Hat stole Doug's mail instead of his notes. The mail contained dates with the year "2009", confirming that the players were indeed speaking with a past version of Doug. The mail also revealed two classes that Doug was taking - Networking Fundamentals and English IV.
At 10:56 PM, Doug made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "What a day...".
Constantly through the halls, I heard people faintly whispering, and I couldn't tell who it was or why they were doing it. Probably mocking me.
At least my family wasn't so mean today. It was productive. After I went home, however, I was expecting a package in the mail. As it turns out, the mail never came. I hope I get it tomorrow. It's special to me.
Comments:
11:13 PM Oceanstuck: "sucks to hear that you didnt get that package. i know id be pretty upset if something i was waiting for didnt show up. trust me, im expecting a game this week. whatever those whispers were saying, dont let it bring you down. youre a cool guy, i like you. if someone tries to bring you down, dont let them, ok?" 11:15 PM DandP: "Okay, thank you."
11:13 PM Wolfcat22: "The weather's been shit lately, maybe it will get there soon? Sucks hard when that kind of stuff gets delayed. What was it? My stuff is just usually useless video game merch." 11:17 PM DandP: "It was something religious. I can't really tell you specifically what it was."
11:37 PM CircleHunter: "Hey, do you have a networking class?" 11:59 PM DandP: "Yeah, I do. Today was actually the first day."
12:06 AM DandP: "Sorry, I meant last friday. Wouldn't make much sense today."
12:13 PM CircleHunter: "Alright, if it's networking fundamentals, I was wondering if I could borrow the notes. I misplaced mine." 12:16 PM DandP: "Sure, I'll grab a picture really quick."
12:27 PM DandP: "Hey, I posted the notes. Sorry about the drawings on the side. I like to doodle whatever comes to mind."
Summary
Doug claims that one of his packages was lost in the mail - something special and religious in nature.
Doug confirms that he is in a Networking class and will share his notes later.

12:45 AM Oceanstuck: "is that magnetos helmet?" 1:04 PM DandP: "Magneto's helmet?"
1:12 AM Oceanstuck: ((Image of Magneto's helmet was linked here))

The Man 6:41 PM: "Hello."
The Man 6:42 PM: "I'm coming in to regretfully inform all of you that the next update might take a little longer than one or two days."
The Man 6:43 PM: "I'll try to make the next update a big one, with more lore information. "
The Man 6:44 PM: "Don't take that to mean it will be big though. Sadly, the reason for the delay is because me and my "co-author", I guess you could call him, are having trouble working some things out."
The Man 6:44 PM: "Patrem will most likely still be active during this time."
ARGdov: ((ARGdov speculates that The Man is likely pm'ing a co-author.)) The Man 6:45 PM: "Yes, he keeps me up-to-date on the crazy stuff you guys are up to. I figure you guys would know that much already, though."
ARGdov: ((ARGdov expresses fear that the co-author witnessed some silly roleplaying that took place in the Skype group)) The Man 6:46 PM: "He hasn't told me anything recently. So don't worry."
ARGdov: ((ARGdov mentions that another player referred to him by his real name)) The Man 6:48 PM: "Don't worry. I won't talk about anything pertaining to the ARG here. Other than stuff that is specifically OOC."
ARGdov: ((ARGdov apologizes for being impatient regarding ARG updates)) The Man 6:48 PM: "I do not forgive you."

ADULT_LINK: ((ADULT_LINK asks The Man if he's going to make a movie)) The Man 7:28 PM: "No, it is because I'm having trouble working things out with my co-author currently. I'm hoping to have a lot of lore information to offer people."

Summary
The Man announces that the ARG will be placed under a minor hiatus.
The Man reveals that he has co-authors, meaning that the ARG actually has multiple GM's.
The cause for this mini-hiatus is supposedly due to disagreements between The Man and his co-authors.

At 9:28 PM, the player Jacob discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/notes". This page was titled "Documents" and contained the image "notes.png", which depicted an image of a moon goddess and the text below. This page's source also contained some of the text found within the image.
If another timeline is created, outcomes are inevitable, and cannot be changed.
If multiple lines are merged, chaos ensues.
She has told me of this happening. And it is her will.
They seek to stop her. To cause this merged chaos.
I was a fool to have my doubts.
And that is why she chose me.
There is one among you who is a traitor.
There are two among you who must die.
There are three that are thieving.
And all are waiting.
One of these will be your salvation.
A soul for a soul. An eye for an eye.
Light for dark.
Circles for squares.
Men for women.
Wolves for cats.
Time is like a network.
And networks can be hacked.
Summary
These notes discuss the existence of multiple timelines and the chaos that may occur when they are merged together.
Luna has supposedly spoken to the author of these notes and told them that this "merged chaos" is her will.
The author of these notes claims to have been chosen specifically by Luna herself.
The author of these notes claims that time can be hacked and altered similar to a network.
The notes address the players directly and claim the following:
There is a single traitor amongst the players.
There are two players who must die.
There are three players who are thieving.
All of the players are waiting.
The notes claim that one of the following will be the players' salvation:

At 10:48 PM, the player Joan discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/help" had updated. The page now contained the word "No" written countless times. If players scrolled down far enough, the image "No.bmp" could be found - a face made out "No's". Through steganography, this image hid a text file "Masks.txt" which read as follows:
You wear it when you talk to others.
You wear it during rough times.
And during good times.
You wear it to show what you'd like to be outwardly.
And hide what you are inwardly.
A mask protects your identity. It protects your soul.
It protects you from others, and yourself.
Your mask is everything.
Then...
What are you, without your mask?
Summary
This text claims that masks are representative of one's outward identity and act as shields for their true identity.
This text questions what becomes of someone who loses their mask.
At 11:19 PM, the player Jacob discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/yes". This page was titled "r" and contained the image "millett_5moa_popup.jpg" - a single red dot.
At an unknown time, Helper became active on Within Hubris and sent several players a PM containing the message "Hello! You have mail!" along with a photo of Doug's Psychology notes. These notes contained a cipher that translates to "You are in danger."
March 4th, 2015
At 12:07 AM, the player Eve submitted the video "Not yet gone" - a video containing footage of Majora's Mask feturing Deku Link being brought back to life by a fairy. This was done in an attempt to save Doug after his previous post implied he was in danger.
At 12:27 AM, Patrem replied to Eve's video on Within Hubris with the following: "Attempting to breathe life into the living? You amuse me children."
March 5th, 2015
At 4:10 PM, the player Eve submitted the video "A New Player" - a video containing footage of Majora's Mask featuring a new save file being created named "Vincent".
March 6th, 2015
At 12:30 AM, the player Eve sent Patrem a PM asking what their next step should be.
At 1:30 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and replied to Eve's PM:
3/6/15 - Message from Patrem - Within Hubris (PM's)
"At this moment my child, all we may do is wait. However I have been watching you all, and I see you enjoy playing games. So to amuse myself while I wait, I would like to play a game with the “detectives”. Should you all succeed I will reward you all for your display of wisdom. Tell the children precisely what I have told you now; What is the song that makes mother cry? Speak it then move to the fourth. Wqafi lps bpv npy dfza wyrraamam; You all have 1 hour, and remember, I am watching"
Summary
Patrem tells the players that they currently have to wait.
Patrem gives the players a riddle - "What is the song that makes mother cry? Speak it then move to the fourth. Wqafi lps bpv npy dfza wyrraamam".
At 2:40 AM, the player Eve posted the solution to Patrem's riddle on Within Hubris - "Song of Storms; Speak now for you have succeeded." on Within Hubris.
At 3:02 AM, Patrem posted a cipher on Within Hubris that translated to "http://picosong.com/26BF/" - a distorted audio file of Patrem speaking.
At 3:13 AM, the player GreyouTT submitted the "Bunny Hood" along with the text "With these long ears, we can hear the voices that were unclear to us.", hoping it would produce a clearer version of the audio file.
At 3:44 AM, Patrem posted another cipher on Within Hubris that translated to "http://picosong.com/26Zg/" - a slightly clearer version of the same audio file from 3:02 AM. Players transcribed the audio file:
3/6/15 - Patrem's Audio File - Within Hubris (JiD Thread)
Children, I’ve been asked “Who is Vincent?” You foolish children have spent quite some time to dive into the matter. However, I shall now unmask what wisdom you may know in time. At this time 'I do not dwell within him. However, now, I shall ((exist / dwell))' within him. After you have ((unintelligible)) the rank of Overseer, the chosen must move forward. ((Some accident / A ceremonial accident )) is essential. A ((section / sanction)) They will be having an Ascension. What the fool said about his soul, and my cruel nature ((unintelligible roar)); Understand detectives… You’ll find the FATHER. Vincent, I’m afraid, must now carry on his journey.
Summary
At "this time" Patrem does not dwell within Vincent - likely referring to 2009. However, he will later on. This means that Patrem entered Vincent's body sometime between 2009 and 2015.
Patrem mentions some sort of accident that took place during a ceremony - presumably an ascension. He claims that this event is inevitable.
March 7th, 2015
At 11:06 AM, players discovered that Letschasethemouse had updated. The blog's background image was now a misty, wooded environment. The blog also now featured a new post:
I don't have much time, sadly. There's a lot of work to be done.
If anyone happens to be paying attention, feel free to ask anything. I'm sure you have a lot of questions. Otherwise, we will meet soon enough.

At 8:28 PM, "M" made a new post titled "Time" on Letschasethemouse:

8:51 PM Anonymous: "Do you have any other information in regard to Doug getting taken? I want to help in any way I can. Does Vincent have anything to do with this?

8:53 PM Wickedlady4180: "Can you go to the fishery? Record what happens and everything you see and hear, in case we need to go to the authorities." 9:15 PM DandP: "I can try, though I'm worried they won't like me getting close."
Summary
"M" reveals that he's actually Mason - Doug's friend who handles the cult's recruitment process.
Mason claims that Doug has been kidnapped by the cult and taken to the fishery.
Mason claims that he doesn't know any members of the cult named Vincent.
The players convince Mason to go to the fishery in search of Doug.
At 9:01 PM, the player ADULT_LINK submitted the "New Wave Bossa Nova" in the hopes of summoning someone to help the players.
At 9:02 PM, Helper became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players:
3/7/15 - Chat with Helper - Within Hubris (JiD Thread)
ADULT_LINK 9:01 PM: ((The "New Wave Bossa Nova" is submitted)) Helper 9:02 PM: "Do you have need of assistance, adventurer?"
Eve 9:03 PM: "We need to help Douglas, how can we?" Helper 9:05 PM: "I'm not particularly sure. Has he lost his mail?"
ADULT_LINK 9:07 PM: "No, he seems to have gone missing. He may have lost his mail as well though." Helper 9:10 PM: "Ooh, that's droll. I may be able to find him, which will take me a fair bit. However, I will find the perpetrator who has taken his mail! Thank you for bringing this information to light, adventurer!"
Seeker 9:10 PM: "Dont forget his marbles." Helper 9:12 PM: "That reminds me of when I was a child, fair maiden! I used to love my marbles, with small hornets encased inside."
Mugen Kagemaru 9:14 PM: "Beware the Twelfth Tribe, they observe too much." Helper 9:17 PM: "That's dumb."
ADULT_LINK 9:17 PM: "I agree"
Dawn 9:18 PM: "How heavy is the package that you carry?" Helper 9:20 PM: "I am not currently in possession of any package. However, I assure you that I deliver quite large packages, demon."
Eve 9:21 PM: "#rekt"
Mugen Kagemaru 9:22 PM: "That's no demon, my friend. That's just the Sun."
Dawn 9:22 PM: ""demon." y" Helper 9:24 PM: "You know why, villain. You seek to create what the others do not."
Eve 9:25 PM: "Helper, if you find our friend Douglas. Can you deliver him to his home?"
Mugen Kagemaru 9:25 PM: ""You seek to create what the others do not." What would that be?" Helper 9:28 PM: ""Helper, if you find our friend Douglas. Can you deliver him to his home?" I am not sure he would be able to survive with a lack of oxygen, maiden." Helper 9:28 PM: ""What would that be?" The near opposite of what you wish, adventurer."
Seeker 9:30 PM: "Why not add oxygen tanks and some snacks in the box, it can be lifesize. Just a though..here.."
Mugen Kagemaru: "And what would be the near opposite of what we wish?" Helper 9:35 PM: "Obviously the near opposite of what you wish, adventurer!"
Helper 9:35 PM: "I have found what you seek. DAMAGED. He is where you imagined he would be, adventurer."
ADULT_LINK 9:36 PM: "but what do we wish? i dont think we even know."
Mugen Kagemaru 9:36 PM: "Well, we seem to have differing opinions about that, so you might want to specify." Helper 9:39 PM: "i am not a hero"
Mugen Kagemaru 9:47 PM: "Are you a savior?" Helper 9:58 PM: ((A link to an audio file containing an SSTV signal hiding a photo of Helper's Hat surrounded by blood is posted))
Eve 10:09 PM: "Helper? Are you still here?" Helper 10:10 PM: "That insect has been dealt with."
Summary
The players managed to summon Helper via the submission of the "New Wave Bossa Nova".
The players ask Helper to help rescue Doug. He says he will attempt to do so.
Helper calls the player Dawn a "demon". This is presumably because Dawn had jokingly stated that he wished to kill Doug.
Helper presumably travels to the fishery. While he's able to confirm that that's where Doug is being held, he's unfortunately killed.

At 10:27 PM, the players continued chatting with Mason via the comments on Letschasethemouse:
9:14 PM Anonymous: "We have someone looking for Doug."
10:13 PM Anonymous: "Are you still there?"
10:14 PM Anonymous: "Are you still there, friend?" 10:17 PM DandP: "Yes. I'm not dumb enough to run off without help, though I am watching the building now. I saw another person jog past, and the yells were terrible. This isn't right."
10:29 PM Anonymous: "What can you see?" 10:34 PM DandP: "There are about four men outside the building, as far as I can tell. I'd take a picture, if I had a good enough camera for it. I can't see much else than the fishery and the people. A bit ago I watched a few other people running around, but couldn't make anything out."

11:24 PM Wickedlady4180: "Ok, try to get closer. We think you won't be seen now."
11:25 PM KendoSF: "Okay Mason, describe your surroundings. Do you see anything near them that might cause a loud noise when hit? Maybe like a bell or a glass bottle maybe?" 11:27 PM DandP: ((This message was deleted.))
11:28 PM DandP: "No, there's nothing that would cause a loud noise if I were to hit it. There are rocks all over I guess I could throw, though. Right now I'm in a more forested part."
11:30 PM KendoSF: "Okay, try throwing a rock towards the other side of them. Get them to think you're in the other direction." 11:31 PM DandP: "Alright, I'm going to try and throw a rock."
11:39 PM Wickedlady4180: "Did they see you? Are you ok, Mason?"
11:39 PM KendoSF: "Mason talk to me, are they following your movements. Do they actually see you?"
Summary
Mason has arrived at the fishery. He's currently watching it from afar.
Mason claims he saw someone jog into the fishery and scream - presumably Helper, who was killed. After this, he saw a few other cultists running around, though he couldn't make much out.
Mason sees four cultists guarding the fishery. He can also hear chanting, though it's not any chanting that he's familiar with.
The players suggest that Mason tries throwing a rock to distract the guards. He agrees to do so.
At 11:47 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse:
After they saw me, they took a good look and chased after me. I can't see them anymore, so I think I'm good. I don't know what happened with them.
All this running is making me tired.
((A photo of a dark forest is posted))
Comments:
11:54 PM KendoSF: "Take a break and stay hidden Mason. We need to rethink our plan of attack." 11:55 PM DandP: "alright. im getting way tired anyways. gonna sleep"
Summary
Mason claims he was spotted and chased off into the woods by the cultists.
Mason has managed to escape the cultists. He's now going to sleep.

At an unknown time, Helper's avatar on Within Hubris changed to a shaking moon alternating through the different moon cycles.
At 12:31 AM, Helper's account on Within Hubris became active and posted a video titled "02". This video was uploaded on a YouTube channel named "M", which is believed to be owned by Helper.
This video begins with gameplay footage of Majora's Mask. We are shown the creation of a new save file named "Mason", which is then selected. The video then cuts to in-game footage of Zora Link standing near Termina Field. The Postman's Hat and Picto Box can be seen in his inventory. Zora Link then exits the area.
Summary
This video features gameplay footage of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
A new save file named "Mason" is created and selected - seemingly confirming that Mason has replaced Doug as the players' Link.
Zora Link can be seen leaving Termina Field with the Postman's Hat and Picto Box in his inventory - implying that Zora Link is representative of Mason.

At 4:00 PM, Helper joined the Internet Detectives Skype group and began chatting with the players.

Summary
Helper has lost his hat, which he claims was a part of his very being. Because of this, he no longer considers himself a messenger.
Helper doesn't know what Skype is and is hearing the players' questions in his head as if they were speaking to him in person.
It's implied that Helper is no longer in control of his account on Within Hubris nor the "M" YouTube channel - possibly due to him missing his hat.
March 11th, 2015
At 5:20 PM, Helper's account on Within Hubris became active and sent various players PM's containing a link to a new video on the "M" YouTube channel titled "S".
This video begins with dark footage of someone walking along a sidewalk at night. There's snow on the ground and the path is covered in ice. The video cuts to footage of the neighborhood. The sky has a reddish glow due to distant city lights. The video is suddenly interrupted by loud static before cutting back to the sidewalk. The cameraman is now running. The static briefly returns as the cameraman turns around. The cameraman comes to a stop as a shadowy entity can be seen in the distance. Two glowing eyes then appear on the figure as the video cuts to black. A deep voice can be heard before the video ends.
Summary
This video seems to be a continuation of "S".
The person walking down the snowy sidewalk panics and begins running before encountering a shadowy figure with glowing eyes.

At 3:14 AM, the player Stevey submitted the "Song of Soaring", hoping to save Mason from the shadowy figure seen in the video "R".
March 13th, 2015
At 5:59 AM, the player Archery discovered that the front page of YSHDT.com had updated. The page was now titled "It's lonely out there." and contained the image "eyes.bmp" - a close-up of Link's eyes during his Deku transformation. This image contained the image "orange.jpg" hidden within it via steganography - a photo of an orange-tinted school at night. This page also contained the audio "itshardtobreathe.wav" - the sound of someone struggling to breath.
At 5:59 AM, the player Archery discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/news" had updated. The page was now titled "02" and contained the image "spire.jpg" - a photo of a strangely shaped building at night. This page also contained the audio "mumble.wav" - a slowed down recording of a robotic voice that read the following:
Mason, you are a bane on my existence now. In the past, you were an ally. In the future, you are my foe. You’ve done great things for us, and also terrible things. It’s time to hunt you down and finish what I started in 2009.
Summary
This is presumably dialogue from Doug - specifically the malicious present-day version of Doug.
Doug says he now views Mason as his enemy and hopes to hunt him down and "finish what I started in 2009".
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/them" had updated. It was now titled "THEM" and contained the image "knownlocations.jpg", which featured various states and countries that different players lived in.
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/no" had updated. It was now titled "." and contained the image "no.jpg", which featured many disturbing screaming faces and the word "no". This page's source also hid the following text:
The festival is intricately linked to the legends of Chang E, the mythical Moon Goddess of Immortality. According to “Li-Ji”, an ancient Chinese book recording customs and ceremonies, the Chinese Emperor should offer sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn.
Summary
This text seems to be an excerpt from a Wikipedia article covering a Chinese mooncake festival.
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/yes" had updated. The page was now titled "." and contained the image "red.jpg", which was a large red dot.
At an unknown time, players discovered that the pages "http://yshdt.com/vincent", "http://yshdt.com/help", and "http://yshdt.com/notes" had all been deleted.
At 5:19 PM, the player GreyouTT submitted the "Lens of Truth", believing that something was hidden within the image "eyes.bmp".
At 9:07 PM, Helper's account on Within Hubris became active and posted a clearer version of "eyes.bmp". The left pupil now contained an image of a character known as "The Gray Man" from the game "LSD: Dream Emulator". This character was often associated with the player Circlehunter. The right pupil now contained text that read "Azure Rebirth". This was an old project that the player Mugen Kagemaru was involved in.
March 14th, 2015
At 12:16 AM, the player ADULT_LINK submitted the "New Wave Bossa Nova" with the intention of summoning Patrem.
At 10:03 AM, Helper rejoined the Internet Detectives Skype group and began chatting with the players.

[10:05:19 AM] Wolfcat: I believe we know who has your hat, but we haven't been able to contact him yet. [10:06:12 AM] Helper: I see.
[10:06:18 AM] Grey: Helper! You're back! [10:06:33 AM] Helper: Hello, tactician!

[10:09:01 AM] Archery 2000: did something happen?
[10:09:21 AM] Mando 寒山: I have some free bodies if you want any [10:09:23 AM] Helper: I do not have a body.
[10:10:00 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: any way we could help? [10:10:27 AM] Helper: I do not see how, adventurer.
[10:10:40 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: darn
[10:11:02 AM] Grey: How will we get your hat back to you once we find it?
[10:11:02 AM] Mando 寒山: Where's your body now [10:11:05 AM] Helper: However, I may have some information you might need during your future endeavors.
[10:11:13 AM] Archery 2000: and that might be?
[10:11:18 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: mando, not the time
[10:11:23 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: we can explain later
[10:11:45 AM] Mando 寒山: Sure, lay it on us [10:11:54 AM] Helper: I do not know, adventurer. If I knew where my body was, I would be in possession of it.
[10:12:15 AM] Archery 2000: helper, what is the information you have for us? [10:13:42 AM] Helper: The one you call mason is still alive.
[10:13:59 AM] Archery 2000: is he in trouble? [10:14:09 AM] Helper: Absolutely not.
[10:14:20 AM] Helper: He happens to be doing nothing.
[10:14:32 AM] Eve Sim: That's good to know.
[10:14:41 AM] Grey: thank goodness he's alive
[10:14:46 AM] Archery 2000: is he unable to do anything? or is it his choice to do nothing? [10:15:00 AM] Helper: I imagine it is his choice.
[10:15:08 AM] Eve Sim: I have a question. [10:15:21 AM] Helper: Yes, adventurer?
[10:15:46 AM] Eve Sim: Do you know if "The Vile Man" will be back soon?
[10:16:21 AM] Oceanstuck: quickly refreshes yshdt thread out of curiosity
[10:16:32 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: ocean, helper is back! [10:16:40 AM] Helper: I do not know of which vile man you speak.

[10:16:45 AM] Eve Sim: Patrem
[10:16:57 AM] Oceanstuck: o hai helper [10:17:35 AM] Helper: His actions are far outside what I will ever be able to perceive.
[10:17:47 AM] Helper: So no.
[10:17:58 AM] Eve Sim: Ok, thank you.
[10:18:02 AM] Mando 寒山: Oh, I got my internet back. Cool
[10:18:24 AM] Mando 寒山: Okay so does this Azure Rebirth stuff have anything to do with whatever forum Mugen made or is this a coincidence [10:19:00 AM] Helper: Azure Rebirth?
[10:19:16 AM] Oceanstuck: shrugs thats what it said
[10:19:33 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Helper, im not sure how we could explain it to you without confusing you
[10:19:40 AM] Archery 2000: helper, do you know how our friend Doug is?
[10:19:45 AM] Grey: It was hidden in a clue we found.
[10:20:02 AM] Archery 2000: so azure rebirth was hidden in eyes [10:20:07 AM] Helper: I do not know of any Azure Rebirth.
[10:20:11 AM] Oceanstuck: whats this azure rebirth thing mean anyway
[10:20:17 AM] Oceanstuck: those of you who actually know
[10:20:43 AM] *** Oceanstuck added Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙) ***
[10:20:52 AM | Removed 10:21:10 AM] Archery 2000: This message has been removed. [10:20:52 AM] Helper: Doug is, as far as I know, still in his prison.
[10:21:02 AM] Archery 2000: I see, is there anything we can do to help him?
[10:21:03 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: his prison? [10:21:23 AM] Helper: The fishery.
[10:21:27 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: ah.
[10:21:29 AM] Oceanstuck: describe the fishery
[10:21:38 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Helper did you get my message earlier? [10:21:44 AM] Helper: My memories are still a little fuzzy.
[10:21:55 AM] Oceanstuck: try the best you can [10:22:00 AM] Helper: It seemed to be a run down building.
[10:22:13 AM] Helper: I do not know how else to describe it.
[10:22:18 AM] Oceanstuck: oh
[10:22:20 AM] Oceanstuck: well you tried [10:22:31 AM] Helper: I have not gotten your message, adventurer.
[10:22:38 AM] Archery 2000: is there anything we can do to help doug? [10:22:46 AM] Helper: For I am not in possession of my hat.
[10:22:58 AM] Helper: I am no longer a messenger.
[10:23:01 AM] Mando 寒山: [10:21 AM] Helper: <<< It seemed to be a run down building.I do not know how else to describe it.Are there any defining characteristics you can remember? Cars, a sign, etc.
[10:23:02 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Helper, check your Private Messages on here and the forum
[10:23:06 AM] Oceanstuck: hey has anyone asked about that image with a bunch of our states of residence on it
[10:23:09 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): The message is for you [10:23:13 AM] Helper: There were no cars or signs.
[10:23:27 AM] Mando 寒山: How did you know it was a fishery [10:23:27 AM] Helper: It was near a forested area, I believe.
[10:23:28 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: the one who we believe to have your had has not been in contact with us for a while [10:23:50 AM] Helper: Because it was a fishery, adventurer!
[10:24:08 AM] Helper: This is most odd.
[10:24:15 AM] Archery 2000: what is?
[10:24:15 AM] Oceanstuck: helper i suggest you try to cut down on the tautologies
[10:24:18 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: what is? [10:24:23 AM] Helper: You have gotten messages, yes?
[10:24:33 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): No
[10:24:37 AM] Archery 2000: supposedly from you?
[10:24:38 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: from whom? [10:24:58 AM] Helper: None whatsoever? Not even a video, picture, or hint?
[10:25:12 AM] Oceanstuck: what kind of messages are we talking [10:25:17 AM] Helper: None other than the messenger, adventurer.
[10:25:18 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Nothing we could consider as such, no. [10:25:30 AM] Helper: I have just listed them, heroine.
[10:25:39 AM] Oceanstuck: oh
[10:25:42 AM] Oceanstuck: heroine, huh [10:25:47 AM] Helper: This is most odd indeed.
[10:25:47 AM] Oceanstuck: i like the sound of that
[10:25:50 AM] Oceanstuck: ^.^
[10:25:50 AM] Grey: Do you mean the videos with that weird shadow?
[10:25:55 AM] Archery 2000: I suppose some could have received messages?
[10:25:59 AM] Wolfcat: Do you mean, 'M'? Are they our Messenger? [10:26:10 AM] Helper: The one in possession of the hat can share messages.
[10:26:17 AM] Oceanstuck: mason?
[10:26:22 AM] Oceanstuck: huh
[10:26:26 AM] Archery 2000: you have been quite active for the past few days
[10:26:28 AM] Oceanstuck: kinda weird youd say that
[10:26:33 AM] Oceanstuck: considering hes gone quiet on us [10:26:38 AM] Helper: I do not know what the messenger has sent you, or what they call themselves.
[10:26:53 AM] Oceanstuck: how would we contact this messenger
[10:26:53 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Can you find out?
[10:27:14 AM] Archery 2000: would this count as a message? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r4PMimSF7s
[10:27:15 AM] Archery 2000: ? [10:27:34 AM] Helper: Of course not, they are messages for you, not I!
[10:27:45 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: ....hwat
[10:28:01 AM] Archery 2000: was it sent by you?
[10:28:36 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): I have sent messages, Helper. Messages addressed to you. Did you receive them? [10:29:07 AM] Helper: I do not understand your tongue.
[10:29:17 AM] Oceanstuck: he sent you shit [10:29:21 AM] Helper: I am no longer the messenger.
[10:29:23 AM] Oceanstuck: he wants to know if you got it
[10:29:39 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): They are not for you to pass along
[10:29:51 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): They are for you to peruse
[10:29:57 AM] Grey: I believe it's clear helper hasn't gotten anything [10:29:59 AM] Helper: The messenger has gotten them. You are trying my patience, adventurer, I have explained such.
[10:30:19 AM] Archery 2000: my apologies helper, we have been rather rude hosts
[10:30:23 AM] Kidpichu: hi ^-^
[10:30:23 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Guys, lets calm down with all of the questions
[10:30:25 AM] Oceanstuck: sry
[10:30:28 AM] Oceanstuck: hi pichu
[10:30:43 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): It is my belief that I am not correctly wording my question. I am trying to correct this problem.
[10:31:01 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Oh also helper, I'm very sorry for my persistence last time you were here, i did not mean to come off as impatient [10:31:30 AM] Helper: I understand your question, rude one. I am not an idiot.
[10:31:41 AM] Oceanstuck: welp
[10:31:45 AM] Grey: Helper, if I may ask, how can we get your hat to you once we've found it? [10:32:10 AM] Helper: The one who owns the hat is the messenger.
[10:32:21 AM] Oceanstuck: how can we contact the messenger
[10:32:21 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Um, let me try this. Uh, Helper? Did the Messenger give you any messages from me?
[10:32:24 AM] Archery 2000: we have to get him to deliver it to you? [10:32:26 AM] Helper: The messenger may relay messages across time and space.
[10:32:36 AM] Helper: You simply give me a message.
[10:32:43 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: I am very confused by all of this
[10:32:50 AM] Archery 2000: I see
[10:32:56 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: so when we get your hat, we have to use the hat to bring the hat to you?
[10:33:05 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): I wonder if that's the point Thorin
[10:33:06 AM] Oceanstuck: pfp [10:33:19 AM] Helper: I have not gotten any messages, adventurer.
[10:33:27 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): There we go
[10:33:34 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Did it right [10:33:36 AM] Helper: The messenger gets the messages. They relay the messages.
[10:33:45 AM] Archery 2000: can they choose not to relay the messages?
[10:33:46 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: :^) [10:33:48 AM] Helper: I have spoken such three times now.
[10:33:48 AM] Oceanstuck: how do we give them messages to relay
[10:34:06 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): You did not speak sense so we did not understand
[10:34:12 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Oi
[10:34:13 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: mugen
[10:34:15 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: chill
[10:34:17 AM] Oceanstuck: nah i think that was just you
[10:34:21 AM] Grey: I do believe we are being a bit repetitive.
[10:34:22 AM] Oceanstuck: shot [10:34:26 AM] Helper: It is the job of the messanger to do such things as giving you chances to relay. I am not he.
[10:34:28 AM] Wolfcat: Mugen stop being rude : /
[10:34:33 AM] Oceanstuck: dammit
[10:34:37 AM] Betrayed in the Octagon: Can we focus on something more productive
[10:34:43 AM] Archery 2000: Helper, can the messenger choose not to relay the message? [10:34:51 AM] Helper: Yes.
[10:34:52 AM] Oceanstuck: is there anything we could do to get him to let us send stuff
[10:34:58 AM | Edited 10:35:05 AM] Archery 2000: should we trust the current messenger? [10:35:08 AM] Helper: I do not know whom it is.
[10:35:14 AM] Helper: You claim to know.
[10:35:29 AM] Grey: We believe Mason has the hat
[10:35:34 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: i believe his name is "mason" but we are not in contact with him [10:35:38 AM] Helper: Then he is the messenger.
[10:35:41 AM] Grey: and is being chased by some sort of Shadow
[10:35:45 AM] Oceanstuck: how do we gain contact with him [10:35:53 AM] Helper: I do not know.
[10:35:55 AM] Oceanstuck: aw
[10:35:59 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Hmmm [10:36:04 AM] Helper: For I, once again, am not the messenger.
[10:36:21 AM] Oceanstuck: welp
[10:36:25 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: lets let soe of the other people ask some questions, don't want to be rude and hog all of the question time
[10:36:34 AM] Oceanstuck: ok
[10:36:37 AM] Betrayed in the Octagon: what's the meaning of the image you posted in the thread? [10:37:21 AM] Helper: I have not given you any image.
[10:37:29 AM] Eve Sim: I understand helper. I'm sorry for the barrage by the others, we're not entirely organized at the moment
[10:37:37 AM] Oceanstuck: spirk, hes not the one posting in the thread
[10:37:41 AM] Betrayed in the Octagon: oh
[10:37:44 AM] Oceanstuck: eve were never organized
[10:37:44 AM] Betrayed in the Octagon: well shit
[10:37:45 AM] Grey: Told ya so
[10:37:46 AM] Archery 2000: Helper, is there any meaning when you call us hero/heroes/heroine?
[10:37:46 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Our communication skills are not very advanced.
[10:38:01 AM | Edited 10:38:07 AM] Archery 2000: or is it merely interchangeable with adventurer? [10:38:23 AM] Helper: Young archer, a rock will always be a rock, no matter what you happen to call it.
[10:38:48 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Helper, I've been wondering. why were you calling some of us demons? [10:38:51 AM] Helper: However, the demons seek to drive you off your course.
[10:38:56 AM] Helper: Be wary.
[10:39:07 AM] Archery 2000: are there still only two demons here? [10:39:39 AM] Helper: I believe there are three now.
[10:39:50 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: any idea who the third one is? [10:39:53 AM] Helper: One more by the name of link.
[10:39:57 AM] Oceanstuck: !!
[10:39:57 AM] Betrayed in the Octagon: how can we recognize them?
[10:39:57 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: what
[10:40:03 AM] Oceanstuck: hwat
[10:40:06 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: wait I am a demon?
[10:40:10 AM] Archery 2000: so ADULT LINK is a demon?
[10:40:11 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Thorin is a demon? What?
[10:40:27 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: I'm not sure how i feel about this.
[10:40:28 AM] Oceanstuck: its because i made an awful injoke about him isnt it [10:40:30 AM] Helper: This is only my opinion on the subject.
[10:40:40 AM] Oceanstuck: wait
[10:40:43 AM] Mando 寒山: Can I get a list of all known demons
[10:40:49 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Mando
[10:40:50 AM] Oceanstuck: the other two demons, are they the same ones from before?
[10:40:57 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Circle, Dawn, and i guess Me
[10:41:06 AM] Oceanstuck: yeah but circle and dawn arent here
[10:41:16 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Oh that is true. [10:41:19 AM] Helper: The potential demon speaks the truth.
[10:41:19 AM] Eve Sim: Ocean, it's doesn't matter
[10:41:19 AM] Oceanstuck: so im not sure if hes referring to them
[10:41:26 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: wait
[10:41:31 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: ocean is a potential demon?
[10:41:40 AM] Eve Sim: No guys Link is
[10:41:42 AM] Betrayed in the Octagon: I think he means you [10:41:46 AM] Helper: No, you.
[10:41:47 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: oh
[10:41:49 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: alright
[10:41:51 AM] Oceanstuck: \(think)
[10:42:07 AM] Eve Sim: Seriously, Helper. I apologize deeply.
[10:42:11 AM] Archery 2000: Helper, I recall that the last time you spoke to us, you mentioned that people don't simply become demons
[10:42:13 AM] Oceanstuck: [10:41 AM] Helper: <<< No, you.im lost who do you mean by "you"
[10:42:20 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Eve knock it off
[10:42:28 AM] Archery 2000: No you was referring to link
[10:42:33 AM] Oceanstuck: ok
[10:42:37 AM | Edited 10:42:47 AM] Archery 2000: why is it that Link may now be a demon even though he wasn't previously
[10:42:45 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: well i mean [10:42:50 AM] Helper: You ask him.
[10:42:51 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: i had been asking if i was one
[10:42:54 AM] Oceanstuck: maybe he just couldnt tell the first time
[10:42:57 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: and i ended up being called impatient
[10:42:58 AM | Edited 10:43:56 AM] Archery 2000: helper, being a demon is a matter of choice? [10:44:02 AM] Helper: If that is all, I will be taking my leave of you.
[10:44:12 AM | Edited 10:44:43 AM] Oceanstuck: wait
[10:44:20 AM] Grey: I have one more question if that's alright
[10:44:21 AM] Archery 2000: helper, is being a demon a matter of choice? [10:44:25 AM | Edited 10:44:33 AM] Helper: I would take an aspirin if I had hands.
[10:44:26 AM] Oceanstuck: me too
[10:44:45 AM] Eve Sim: Thank you helper.
[10:44:46 AM | Edited 10:44:56 AM] Archery 2000: Helper, are you in pain? [10:44:58 AM] Helper: Yes, being a demon is a matter of choice.
[10:45:06 AM] Oceanstuck: how so
[10:45:13 AM] Oceanstuck: define this choice [10:45:26 AM] Helper: Simply listening to all of you has given me considerable pain in my skull.
[10:45:32 AM] Archery 2000: My apologies
[10:45:35 AM] Oceanstuck: sry
[10:45:40 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: sorry about that helper.
[10:45:47 AM | Edited 10:46:15 AM] Archery 2000: I hope you do not hold it against us, we are just surprised at a second opportunity to speak to you
[10:46:05 AM] Grey: okay, now I have two questions
[10:46:14 AM] Eve Sim: Grey, he's leaving
[10:46:21 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: we really need to improve our communication skills, and decide what to say instead of barraging you with questions.
[10:46:26 AM] Oceanstuck: yeah
[10:46:37 AM] Grey: Yes, but I'm wondering why he has a headache if he's dead.
[10:46:43 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: he is a spirit
[10:46:50 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: he has a ghostly headache
[10:46:54 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: or so i would imagine
[10:46:55 AM] Archery 2000: helper, is there any final advice you can give us?
[10:47:00 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Spirits feel pain too guys
[10:47:00 AM] Eve Sim: ^
[10:47:04 AM] Oceanstuck: yeah that
[10:47:15 AM] Oceanstuck: lol link ninjad you [10:47:20 AM] Helper: The level of idiocy has reached paranormal levels.
[10:47:26 AM] Eve Sim: ^^^^^^
[10:47:30 AM] Oceanstuck: sounds about normal
[10:47:31 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Sorry helper
[10:47:41 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Anyway
[10:47:43 AM] Archery 2000: Sorry helper, but I still have to ask, is there any final advice you can give us?
[10:47:48 AM] Grey: It's a fact that the larger a group is, the lower their IQ gets.
[10:47:59 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: everyone shh
[10:48:04 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Grey has one more question yes?
[10:48:04 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: please
[10:48:10 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: im starting to get a headache too
[10:48:19 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: and i imagine that Helpers is way larger [10:48:25 AM] Helper: I will answer the tactician's last question.
[10:48:34 AM] Helper: And give one last piece of advice.
[10:49:30 AM] Oceanstuck: leans in to listen closely
[10:49:46 AM] Oceanstuck: which is kinda pointless since this is all text
[10:50:43 AM] Grey: Recently we've seen that the group of people who imprisoned Doug have found where some of us reside. I just want to know, who's still safe? [10:51:55 AM] Helper: Whomever they cannot get to. While the group may know your location, they might not have the means to get to it.
[10:52:22 AM] Archery 2000: and the advice?
[10:52:27 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): May I ask one final question before you give your advice?
[10:52:33 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: i believe that was the advice archery
[10:52:42 AM] Oceanstuck: too late moogs [10:52:49 AM] Helper: I would protect your mailing addresses though. Just in case my hat is used for nefarious deeds.
[10:53:13 AM] Helper: I will allow one last question from the rude one.
[10:53:29 AM] Helper: But only to give him a chance to redeem himself.
[10:53:42 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): What is the goal of your current journey? [10:53:59 AM] Helper: He has not redeemed himself.
[10:53:59 AM] *** Stevey "Wolfe" Freeman gasp ***
[10:54:02 AM] Stevey "Wolfe" Freeman: helper
[10:54:08 AM] Grey: Saw that coming.
[10:54:10 AM] Oceanstuck: this revelation surprises no one
[10:54:13 AM] Stevey "Wolfe" Freeman: My friend! :D
[10:54:26 AM] Oceanstuck: LE GASP
[10:54:40 AM] Eve Sim: Helper, what was your last word of advice?
[10:54:45 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Well helper, i hope youquest to get you body back is successful, we shall continue to search for and regain your hat to you!
[10:54:49 AM] Oceanstuck: dont give your mailing addresses [10:54:51 AM] Helper: I stated in the beginning, and throughout my replies, that I still no longer have my body, and am in search of it.
[10:54:51 AM | Edited 10:55:12 AM] Archery 2000: yes, if you've said your advice, could you repeat it? [10:55:22 AM] Helper: I have not stated it yet.
[10:55:24 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): The question was to clarify this. I thank you for it [10:55:34 AM] Helper: I am thinking up some good sage advice.
[10:55:35 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Your advice, please?
[10:55:41 AM] Archery 2000: haha, we're all ears
[10:55:56 AM | Edited 10:55:58 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Helper you have the greatest personality
[10:56:00 AM] Oceanstuck: i like you helper
[10:56:10 AM] Grey: Why does Mugen's comments read like a Phoenix Wright cross examination.
[10:56:25 AM] Oceanstuck: PFFPT
[10:56:48 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Because I'm not rude, I am merely not intimidated.
[10:56:55 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: >_<
[10:56:58 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: stfu the rude one

[10:57:01 AM] Wolfcat: Nah you're pretty rude [10:58:39 AM] Helper: Remember that, while you change events in the past, the future may also contact you. Also, the rude one is very rude, and also easily intimidated at the mention of their past. This goes for your member, and theirs.
[10:58:59 AM] Archery 2000: theirs?
[10:59:04 AM] Archery 2000: oh
[10:59:07 AM] Archery 2000: thank you
[10:59:18 AM] Oceanstuck: huh
[10:59:20 AM] Wolfcat: Thank you very much, Helper.
[10:59:23 AM] Archery 2000: again, sorry for the badgering
[10:59:25 AM] Grey: Thank you Helper.
[10:59:30 AM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: Thank you for the sageful advice helper, i hope you get your body soon [10:59:44 AM] Helper: I think that statement sets us at even odds, the one who calls themself Mugen.
[10:59:54 AM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): That past belongs to another. He may be connected to me, and it was he who was angered by the remider
[11:00:01 AM] Oceanstuck: bullshit [11:00:01 AM] *** Helper has left ***
Summary
Helper asks the players if they have found his hat. They tell Helper they believe Mason currently possesses it.
Helper says that whoever is in possession of his hat is the "Messenger", which gives them access to his various accounts and grants them the ability to relay messages and packages across space and time.
Helper refers to players who have their own separate goals or who wish to tempt others down the wrong path as "Demons".
Helper claims there are three demons within the Internet Detectives - Circlehunter, ADULT_LINK, and Dawn of a New Day.
Helper warns the players that while they are currently interacting with the past, entities from the future may still contact them.

At 9:35 PM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players.
3/15/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (JiD Thread)
/Patrem\ 9:35 PM: "I am in the midst of my work child, what is it that you must call on me in such a place?"
Spirkiroid 9:39 PM: "hey dude can we get a selfie" /Patrem\ 9:44 PM: "Do you think you are worthy of my visage, child?"
Mugen Kagemaru 9:47 PM: "Hah. Ha ha, funny. Come now. Don't be shy. That's my girlfriend's department."
Stevey 9:48 PM: "A majority of us have contributed to this avertion of chaos. Found multiple truths and therefore aided you in your work... so yes... or alternatively... don't be shy!"
Rafal 9:53 PM: "And if you think us not worthy of your visage, you still have deemed us at least somewhat worthy of your time based upon your actions. If you decline to show, perhaps you could still do us the honor of telling us something."
ihatesigningupforstufflikethis 10:00 PM: "patrem i bet yr cute"
GreyouTT 10:01 PM: "WELL, WELL, WELL. You actually posted. Now that you're here, I think it's time we got some things out in the open. For example, you seem to be sticking to PMs quite a bit there my inter-dimensional friend. Why so secretive?" /Patrem\ 10:40 PM: "You have all amused me greatly. So despite requesting in such a childish manner, I may grant you the privilege of a glimpse at my current form. However, this may take time, as capturing and sending a depiction of it from where I currently dwell is a task of great complexity. Just as the method in which I dwell is that of complexity, and often is the cause of disrepair in electrical devices. All this aside, is there anything you request at this time children, or shall I return to my work?"
Archery 10:45 PM: "Hey Patrem, Why do you keep ignoring my PMs? Am I asking the wrong questions?"
Stevey 10:51 PM: "On what we believe is Helper's channel "M" on Youtube.. there was a shadow at the end of his latest video, do you know what it is?"
Archery 10:59 PM: "Also, what are demons and how do you become one? Can you stop being one?" /Patrem\ 11:03 PM: "Shadow's come in many forms child. Maybe your primative eyes misinterpreted unimiportant information as something of siginificance. Also chide me not should I be sans response of your tedious masked requests, I give each deep observation prior to action. However those that needn't require said observation to begin with often do not warrant my attention for I am quite busy and time truly is finite, even for one such as I."
Stevey 11:07 PM: "I said this as a joke to my friends in our chat a few moments ago... ... how did you...?"
GreyouTT 11:12 PM: "What is the group attempting to do at the Fishery? What exactly do they plan to do with Doug?"
Oceanstuck 11:13 PM: "im here guys. hello ok i have a quick question. what are the defining characteristics of a demon? shits come up a bit in a few conversations and i think we should probably get that sorted out" /Patrem\ 11:48 PM: "I am always watching you brats, for it is unwise to leave children unattended. As for the place of worship, my children are simply attempting to better themselves for the coming times. As for douglas, I have stated before what shall become of him is unchangeable as I have spoken previously and I have no reason to speak of what is currently happening to him, so I shall not."
/Patrem\ 11:13 PM: "I know nothing of these "Demons" of which you speak. Why must you pry me of such foolish imaginings, what next? Shall you beseech me of the monsters beneath the place in which you rest?"
Mugen Kagemaru 11:53 PM: "Someone talked about demons and we're asking in case it becomes relevant. Better to look into red herrings than to ignore the right trail when it's revealed."
((Patrem begins quoting players' messages from Skype and responding to them in his posts. These quoted messages will be italicized.)) /Patrem\ 12:35 AM: "Since Patrem is the leader of the cult we should capture him"
/Patrem\ 12:35 AM: "I would be delighted if you would speak more of these grandiose propositions. Please, if you honestly believe you carry knowledge not of my own understanding, do enlightened me. For surely you and your fellow "Detectives" are supremely powerful beings that I should not trifle with."
/Patrem\ 12:35 AM: ((A distorted audio file is posted))
Stevey 1:00 AM: "We're the most powerful thing since god my friend. We clearly have no need of these petty games..."
Archery 1:02 AM: "Ignore his insolence, forgive us father, for we have sinned..."
GreyouTT 1:08 AM: "Good to know higher beings are still capable of sarcasm. But since you asked, I'll tell you: We may not be powerful beings, but you should never count us out. We have a power of our own." /Patrem\ 1:29 AM: "Then try and wield this power child, see what it gets you in return. If you have some plan to "catch" me, I would be most pleased to see you execute it."
GreyouTT 2:05 AM: "Tempting, but I think we'll save that for later. For now though, I think it's time us detectives fell off of your radar for a while."
GreyouTT 2:05 AM: ((The "Stone Mask" and "Gibdo Mask" are both submitted)) /Patrem\ 2:38 AM: "Do you think you have sort of control over me? Do you even understand the power you attempt to wield? Look upon your foe, and kneel."
/Patrem\ 2:38 AM: ((Patrem posts a photo of himself though it is incredibly distorted))
Stevey 2:46 AM: "More Technical issues.. huh?"
Archery 4:39 AM: "My word, you're the only handsomest ethereal entity I have ever set my eyes on, what a lovely complexion you have!" /Patrem\ 4:50 AM: "My true intent was to show you the form I currently reside in. However the power radiated from my own presence, and the complexity of delivering such a thing to this place resulted in showing nothing more than my essence, and some scrambled remains. Pity, the sight of my form would have sent you all into quite a bit of turmoil."
Archery 4:52 AM: "Is the face found in the bottom right corner a remnant of the original image?" /Patrem\ 4:54 AM: "Yes child."
Archery 4:56 AM: "Apologies about the comments earlier regarding capturing you. On a more serious note, is there any way we can contact Mason, or could you kindly put us in contact with him?" /Patrem\ 5:05 AM: "I found it quite amusing, as it always is, but most certainly it is when you think you can use your toys on me."
Archery 5:10 AM: "Amusing it might be, but the statement is true, isn't it. You aren't asking us to cower in fear or kneel before you unlike before. If you do not mind, could you answer a few questions we have, including the prior question?"
Helix 5:12 AM: "Previously I've messaged you a couple of questions though I wasn't sure if it was something you could answer. In /notes, it is said that two of us must die. Is there a reason for this 'sacrifice'? What exactly is "her will"? Is /notes written by doug or you? And, if I may boldly ask again, are you against or for the idea of humans like us ascending?" /Patrem\ 5:20 AM: "I will answer but one final question, I have many things I must attend to and have no time for the incessant babbling of children."
Archery 5:26 AM: "How can we can contact Mason ourselves? If we are unable to, could you kindly put us in contact with him?" /Patrem\ 5:35 AM: "Mason is a foolish child, there is no need for you to contact him. However I shall tell you that he is currently within his own residence. There is more to know of him, but it shall surely come to you in time, you are not infants and I shan't spoon feed you. Now I shall depart, as this child shall soon awaken and I still have tasks to address."
Summary
Patrem was seemingly summoned thanks to the "New Wave Bossa Nova".
Patrem begins quoting and responding to messages from the Internet Detectives Skype group despite not being within it, implying that he is always watching the players.
Patrem claims that Doug's fate cannot be changed.
The player GreyouTT attempts to use the "Stone Mask" and "Gibdo Mask", but neither of them effect Patrem.
Patrem says that Mason is currently at home and presumably safe.

March 17th, 2015
At 12:00 AM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "It's been a while":
It's been a while
Sorry I’ve blown you guys off. I’m really out of it now, especially after I couldn’t even see Doug. This week has been crazy, too. I’ve met some new friends, have been waking up earlier than usual, have been finding myself in places that I’ve never seen before, and finally met a really odd person that claimed to be from the future. It’s been a rough week and a half.
Comments:
12:03 AM Zangoose: "A person from the future? that's crazy! What did he look like? or act like? it sounds like an interesting character" 12:04 AM DandP: "He was dressed in all grey. I couldn't make out what he looked like. He came and wanted to trade me for an item.
12:07 AM Zangoose: "Trade? People still do that?? What did he offer or want? It must have been a funny experience" 12:12 AM DandP: "He wanted a hat I'd found at the fishery for a card. He said the card would be very important in the future for me. I didn't want the hat anyways; it had blood on it."
12:15 AM Zangoose: "Interesting... Funny enough, i have a tendency for card collecting, if possible, may i see whatever card he gave you? Im really interested in collecting them little "trinkets" ^^" 12:17 AM DandP: "It's...not a collectible card. It's just an 8 of clubs."
12:49 AM Archery2000: "Is there anything special about the card, like is it from some rare deck or is there some hidden message? Actually, if you don't mind, could we have a picture of it?" 12:58 AM DandP: "No, there isn't anything special about the card that I can tell of. I would give you a picture, but my phone/camera is currently dead."
12:09 AM Wolfcat22: "You say you've been finding yourself in weird places? Like where? Sounds a bit like sleepwalking." 12:11 AM DandP: "I have no idea. One second I'm walking down the street, the next I'm just by some park's statue..."
12:31 AM Wolfcat22: "Huh. Was it somewhere you recognized, like do you remember what the statue looked like? Cause if not, it could be a bit serious." 12:37 AM DandP: "The statue was just some abstract sculpture. Also, I did say I've never seen that place before."
12:38 AM Archery2000: "Hey Mason, are you still in contact with him? Do you know where he went?" 12:44 AM DandP: "No, I don't know. He left this morning."
12:49 AM KendoSF: "What's the card look like Mason?"
12:53 AM KendoSF: "Oh wait, you answered that already. My bad. Did the gray guy just walk up to you on the street?" 12:59 AM DandP: "Pretty much."
Summary
Mason claims that lately he has been appearing in strange places near statues. This is likely due to players' submission of the "Song of Soaring".
Mason claims to have met some new friends. He's also met someone dressed in all grey who claimed to be from the future. The players dubbed this enigmatic individual "The Gray Man".
Mason claims that he retrieved Helper's Hat before fleeing from the fishery.
The Gray Man gave Mason an "Eight of Clubs" playing card in exchange for Helper's Hat. The Gray Man claimed that this card would be very important in the future.
The players begin speculating that The Gray Man is now in control of Helper's Within Hubris account and the "M" YouTube channel due to his possession of Helper's Hat.
At an unknown time, the player Kidpichu sent Patrem a PM on Within Hubris asking for a bedtime story.
At 12:25 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and replied to Kidpichu's PM with the following:
3/17/15 - Patrem's Bedtime Story - Within Hubris (PM's)
Yes child, sleep is a very important thing for your kind. So I shall tell you the tail of another who also has trouble sleeping. There once was a child who was quite curious, he was surrounded by children and yet, it was not enough for him. So he sought the company of others. Through trials and tribulations he found sanctuary in their communion, however he lost sight of the other children, his own name and even his self. But his new family loved him very much, so his father decided to give him a name. Vincent, and before he knew it he was a very responsible man. He was to oversee all of the children in his father’s home when his father was away. However one night, father saw that one of his children had become quite grand. This child was to come and see his father so that he might be told the secrets that only father may know. But two terrible children, who must not be spoken of, one flying, one simply screaming, had come and interfered. Luckily the grand child had still done what was needed on that night, but their father was displaced. He was hurt, that children would fuss in such a time of glory. But Vincent was a good boy, he gave his father refuge. But the event was much to bare, and Vincent had forgotten once again who his family truly was. This all kept Vincent awake, always awake, and his father can do no work, if Vincent is always awake and crying as though he is still simply another child. Now you must rest, for sleep is a very important thing for your kind. I may be able to go on without such a time wasting practice, but neither you nor Vincent can.
Summary
Patrem divulges more of Vincent's past in the form of a "bedtime story".
Patrem claims that Vincent had lost his memories some point and that "Vincent" is not his original name.
Patrem says that a child he describes as "grand" was going to ascend. However, a "flying" child and "screaming" child interrupted the ceremony, somehow damaging Patrem in the process.
Patrem claims that he was forced to recover inside Vincent's body. However, this caused Vincent to forget his past for a second time.
At 11:36 PM, the player Tyler posted two audio files that jokingly imitated Patrem's speaking patterns.
March 18th, 2015
At 10:39 PM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players. Halfway through this conversation, Vincent began speaking in Patrem's place.
3/18/15 - Chat with Patrem and Vincent - Within Hubris
/Patrem\ 10:39 PM: "My time is very limited. I am timeless, but my flesh puppet moves on a most cumbersome schedule."
/Patrem\ 10:39 PM: ((Patrem posts a corrupted version of the player Tyler's audio file))
Stevey 10:45 PM: "Is that.... Tylep's stuff in there? ... what are you implying? ... On Doug's old blog... Mason mentioned he met a Grey Man.. Do you know who this is?"
Sengi 10:58 PM: "Hey Patrem, who is The gray man? Can we get any clues to it's identity?"
Eve 11:27 PM: "Patrem, is there anything we can do to aid you? Or is there something that we've overlooked?"
Stevey 11:28 PM: "It seems Patrem is unwilling to talk of the identity of this Grey Man. .... we should use this time to ask something vital before Patrem leaves.."
GreyouTT 11:30 PM: "Or maybe you should be more patient."
Wolfcat 11:40 PM: "Do you have other 'puppets' at your disposal? If so, have we met them?"
Tyler: 11:43 PM: "Patrem used my thingy, does this mean I am cannon now?"
GreyouTT 12:02 AM: "Hey Patrem, what are you children at the fishery preparing for exactly?" /Patrem\ 12:38 AM: ""Is that.... Tylep's stuff in there? ... what are you implying?""
/Patrem\ 12:38 AM: "Something about it felt nostalgic, I then quickly realized it was not I who felt it but my flesh."
/Patrem\ 12:38 AM: ""Hey Patrem, what are you children at the fishery preparing for exactly?""
/Patrem\ 12:38 AM: "They are simply playing now, as children do. I however am the one preparing, so that things may be a bit more favorable in that time."
Chuckles 12:51 AM: "hey Patrem what do you jerk off to?"
GreyouTT 12:52 AM: "What's going to happen when the time you're preparing for comes? Some sort of spiritual event or something like the moon falling?"
Oceanstuck 1:01 AM: ""hey Patrem what do you jerk off to?""
Oceanstuck 1:01 AM: "your mom" /Patrem\ 1:27 AM: ""So maybe at some point we can play the Goron's Lullaby to put Vincent to rest, which will allow Patrem to further his plans""
/Patrem\ 1:27 AM: "He sleeps even now, in fact, he fell asleep in a rather unfamiliar location as you may have over heard in my previous message."
Mugen Kagemaru 1:45 AM: "Does the name Valoron Lyro mean anything to you? He claims he once killed you but I doubt the validity of such a claim."
Oceanstuck 1:49 AM: "i have a nagging feeling that shit is about to be thrown everywhere..." /Patrem\ 1:50 AM: "Child none have killed me and I may never truly die. I have never encountered this man but he tells foolish tales of a liar."
Oceanstuck 1:55 AM: "idk whether to be relieved or perturbed by this info regarding a joke statement" /Patrem\ 1:56 AM: ""Should we ask about the Spire?""
/Patrem\ 1:56 AM: "Ask me not of this."
GreyouTT 1:58 AM: "What do you think of the color Azure?" /Patrem\ 2:11 AM: "It is a meaningless color to me. This place is quite loud, and soon this child shall awaken once again. I have time for but one more question."
Mugen Kagemaru 2:13 AM: "Will you permit the child to converse with us?" /Patrem\ 2:26 AM: "I can feel him awakening so I may have no choice. However before I depart, I wish to clear up a prior confusion that I found most aggravating. Vincent and Douglas are two separate children, also Ibfda fd awakened"
GreyouTT 2:29 AM: "Thank goodness he managed to click send before the seizure completely took hold." ((Vincent begins speaking through Patrem's account)) /Patrem\ 2:40 AM: "What is this?"
Mugen Kagemaru 2:43 AM: "This... is a place of gathering, really. Um, what can you tell us about where you are?"
GreyouTT 2:45 AM: "It's a forum yo. You feeling alright?" /Patrem\ 2:50 AM: "I'm really confused, I don't know who you are or what this website is. But the last thing I remember is going to sleep in my room, and now it looks like I am in my local park. I am feeling kinda of weird and my head hurts. Who are you people and do you know anything about this?"
Eve 2:52 AM: "We are the Internet Detectives. What's your name?" /Patrem\ 2:54 AM: "Why should I tell you my name? What the fuck is going on!?"
Mugen Kagemaru 2:54 AM: "Um, Eve? Don't we already know his name? Anyway, some unusual things have come up regarding a group with a thing for the moon. Is there anything you can tell us about that while you make your way home?" /Patrem\ 3:01 AM: "A thing for the moon? Thats a shame, there is no moon in the sky tonight. But I don't know anything about this group. Do you know why I am sitting here with this page open in my night clothes in the middle of my local park at night?"
GreyouTT 3:01 AM: "Well this is going to take some explaining. Well not the park thing, not sure about that part, but the rest of it we can explain. Well kind of. You see it's very complicated, you may want to sit down if you aren't already. If anything, you may or may not want to look back at your post history." /Patrem\ 3:03 AM: "Wait... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!?"
Mugen Kagemaru 3:04 AM: "You don't know anything? That's odd... Why would that one choose you, then...? As Grey implied, we do have an explanation for your little mystery, but we fear it won't exactly be... ... ah... how would you people put it... ...believeable? Yes, there we go. We fear you won't believe us. (Addendum) As for your name... well, someone told us."
GreyouTT 3:14 AM: "Yes well the name thing is I admit, suspicious, and you are no doubt confused by what is going on. But right now I think you should be focusing on why you are in the park right now. Now, could you describe your surroundings, do you see anything out of the ordinary that does not involve pajamas."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:17 AM: "*facepalm* Grey... Anything odd that doesn't involve pajamas or the fact that total strangers over the Internet just happen to know your name?" /Patrem\ 3:21 AM: "I have no idea where my phone is, and the lights in the park were all flickering for a few moments when I woke up. I recall having it in my hand before I fell asleep. I have no idea why I would be in the park but I am about to head home, when I leave the park there will be no wifi until I get back to my house."
Mugen Kagemaru 3:27 AM: "OK, before you go, could you clear something up for us? The person who told us your name, they also said you helped a person who was like a father figure to you when something went wrong. Can you tell us anything about that?" /Patrem\ 3:35 AM: "My father is dead, I don't have any father figures and I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. I am gonna go before someone steals my shit. Some little kid just walked up to me, like this young kid and just asked me if the "Purple man" is gone now, crying and shit. Fuck this, fuck everything about this, fuck you guys, fuck whoever the purple man is. I am going home now. Fuck this."
Summary
Patrem refuses to talk about the strangely shaped building seen on YSHDT.com. Players began referring to this location as "The Spire".
Patrem confirms that Vincent and Doug are different people.
Vincent wakes up, causing Patrem to lose control of his body. Vincent begins speaking with the players through Patrem's account.
Vincent doesn't know anything about Patrem or the cult. It seems that he's completely unaware of anything that occurs while he is possessed.
The last thing Vincent remembers is falling asleep in his room. He is now in a park.
Vincent meets a young boy in the park asking him where the "purple man" is - likely referring to Patrem.
Vincent is confused and frustrated with his situation and the players. He begins heading home.

At 7:43 PM, the player Mugen Kagemaru submitted "KamaroMaskFever.arg" - a video containing footage of Majora's Mask featuring Link equipping the "Kamaro Mask" and dancing.
At 9:30 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "Dancing".
9:58 PM Sengi: "nah, dont... Those urges are dumb and you can prove your will to be strong by ignoring them completely" 10:03 PM DandP: "It at least raised my spirits."
10:05 PM Sengi: "Use that energy for productive things! Paint a picture, write a story, do that while being guided by your raised spirits!! Maybe then will that energy be put for good use"
10:00 PM Oceanstuck: "im gonna join you if you dont mind" 10:03 PM DandP: "That's dumb."
10:13 PM Oceanstuck: "aw come on man dancing is fun no matter shitty you may think you are at it. uhm, hold on, lemme think of a good dance to do. you put your right foot in, you put your right foot out...wait no thats stupid. uhh, you know the macarena?"
10:02 PM CircleHunter: "I think you should go with your gut. You have this urge for a reason, and dance is an art form. If you feel like dancing, that's just awesome." 10:04 PM DandP: "Alright."
Summary
Mason claims he's suddenly be struck by the urge to dance - likely due to the submission of "Kamaro's Mask".
At 10:10 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse:
You've all been very lucky so far. In all the times your members have rushed in and acted without the consensus of others, you haven't killed anybody yet.
Perhaps this will change tonight.
Summary
The Gray Man chides the players for being too rash when using The Ocarina.
The Gray Man warns the players that using their powers without first conferring with one another might get someone killed.
March 20th, 2015
At 3:49 PM, The Gray Man became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players:
The way you all treat each other is pitiful. What right have you to call others arrogant when your attitudes rival the very one you insult? What right has any of you to call me a false prophet when you failed to regard the information provided by my predecessor, the one you consider "real?"
If you seek my assistance, please hesitate before putting your own down and stepping onto your own pedestal. Your outfit is only as strong as its weakest link, and you fools are only rusting the chain. You seem to have been very lucky so far. Consider my words, friends, and become one unit. Or, you could ignore me and see how far that gets you.
Summary
The Gray Man chides the players for constantly arguing with one-another in the Internet Detectives Skype group.
March 21st, 2015
At 12:35 PM, the player Mugen Kagemaru discovered a new video on the "M" YouTube channel titled "E".
This video begins with someone lying down in a wooded area. The cameraman stands up and observes their surroundings. There is a strange tree in-front of them that appears to have been partially cut. The cameraman zooms in on the nearby trees as the video fades to black.
Summary
This video features someone exploring some woods - presumably The Gray Man.

[1:20:37 PM] Le lune 'Jayckup': hi guy
[1:20:40 PM] Oceanstuck: describe this problem [1:20:44 PM] The Man: Wolfcat did something I need to speak to him about.
[1:20:55 PM] The Man: I...think that's private?
[1:20:59 PM] Oceanstuck: hm? [1:21:23 PM] The Man: Terribly sorry. I did not know I was going to play 20 questions when I asked.
[1:21:44 PM] Oceanstuck: ive never heard the term 20 questions but i think i get it
[1:21:45 PM] Oceanstuck: sorry [1:22:11 PM] The Man: It just happens to be important.
[1:22:17 PM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): They only ask so they can pass it on to your addressees when they pass on your looking for them

Summary
The Man asks for the contact information of two players - Wolfcat and Dawn of a New Day.
The Man is unwilling to answer why he's looking for these players specifically.
March 23rd, 2015
At an unknown time, the players rethought their spontaneous submission habits and addressed some drama that had taken place within the Skype group.
At 12:52 AM, The Gray Man became active on Within Hubris and thanked the players for their efforts, writing "Goodnight, "adventurers." Thank you for heeding my words."
At 1:13 AM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "The next step.":
I just got back. One second, I was in my house, protecting myself from the storm.
The next, I was next to that fucking statue again.
((An image of an owl statue is posted))
This is getting ridiculous though. This time it was in a park far, far off from my house. I'm just glad my parents weren't home for the weekend.
But now, I feel like I want to do something. I need to know what happened to Doug. I have no idea how to go about doing something, though. So I want ideas. I'll add that it seems like the members of the...I guess I should call it a cult, now...haven't noticed that I was the man who spied on them that night. They're sending me messages, and trying to get to me at school, saying that they're worried and that I can always come back to them if I'm in trouble. I'm thinking about taking them up on their offer, to see if I can find anything.
Comments:
1:30 AM Stevey: "From Dougs last posts... he joined them, and we never heard from him again... are you sure that'd really be a good idea?" 12:14 AM DandP: "I'm not sure."
1:20 AM Stevey: "Do you have a weapon of sorts? a baseball bat.. or a gun even? if you have to go, dont be a sterotypical horror protagonist and go unarmed... that never ends well." 1:22 AM DandP: "I have a small switchblade..."
11:03 AM Oceanstuck: "how well can you fight with that thing. if youre gonna use a weapon you should go with one you can use effectively"
2:04 AM Archery2000: "Hey Mason, sorry if it seems like I'm pressing you for it, but I'm rather interested in playing cards. Could you post up a picture of the card, ideally one from each side, just to show it fully. (i could send you a picture of my collection if you're interested, it's small but I just started recently, so...)" 1:23 AM DandP: "I think I misplaced the card somewhere. There's really nothing special about it, though. It isn't even name brand."
2:07 AM KendoSF: "I dunno, I think it might be a good idea to wait before going near them again. Has Doug come back yet? Or is he still in the fishery?" 12:15 AM DandP: "I haven't seen Doug since."
1:22 AM KendoSF: "Hmmm... I think you should keep your distance for now. If you want, try some spying. But don't follow them into a place you're not sure about. In fact I think you might want to bring back up if you decide to explore a place they hang out at."
2:11 AM Wickedlady4180: "Be careful, Mason. If you do go, please make sure to let us know. We'll help you any way we can." 12:15 AM DandP: "Alright."
8:50 AM Zangoose: "Do be careful, we suspect that cult from being a harmful organization, and maybe they take their lives off..." ?:?? AM DandP: "...No shit?"
4:37 PM Wolfcat22: "We'll try to help however we can. What more can you tell us about this cult? Like, anything about rituals or ranks? Also one more question, though it is a random one. Do you take Psychology? I got a random photo in the mail of some Psychology notes, it freaked me out a bit." 4:43 PM DandP: "We were promised to become part of a whole new way of thinking, including gaining powers and being one of the first to get the ability to never age once we hit it large as a sort of scientific/religious organization. I can't tell you much more than this for many reasons, partly because I wasn't told a lot about what was going on since I was lower ranked. No, I have never taken Psychology."
4:50 PM Zangoose: "Hey, by chance do you know if Doug did run psychology?" 4:54 PM DandP: "I think so. I'm not sure."
Summary
Mason claims that he was suddenly warped to a strange owl statue in a park - likely an effect of the "Song of Soaring" being submitted.
Mason believes that the cult is unaware that he was the one they chased away from the fishery and that he might still be on good terms with them.
Mason says that the cult has been concerned about him and are trying to get him to come back to the fishery.
Mason claims to have misplaced the card given to him by The Gray Man.
Mason says that the cult promised its members special powers and immortality. He says it described itself as a "scientific/religious organization".
Mason was a lower ranking member of the cult so he does not know much of its inner workings.
Mason is considering taking the cult up on their offer to return to the fishery, hoping to gather some more information regarding Doug.
Mason claims that his only weapon is a small switchblade.

[10:45:49 PM] Grey: probably
[10:45:50 PM] Oceanstuck: what are the defining characteristics of a demon [10:46:01 PM] Helper: I do not wish to take this risk.
[10:46:11 PM] Helper: Well, I am glad you asked!

[10:53:47 PM] Admiral Desdinova / CircleHunter: Nope [10:53:48 PM] Helper: I don't know. Ask him.
[10:53:59 PM] Admiral Desdinova / CircleHunter: I mean, that's the goal right?
[10:54:07 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: thats what a demon WOULD say
[10:54:11 PM] Kidpichu: I think i remember someone saying circle disagreed about something
[10:54:13 PM] Eve Sim: Hello guys

[10:55:44 PM] The Sun: Don't you get it
[10:55:48 PM] The Sun: Doug x Mason

[10:55:57 PM] The Sun: And "fuses" with him.

[10:58:11 PM] Eve Sim: Is Grey Man a bad person? [10:58:12 PM] Helper: He is a male teenager.
[10:58:19 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: Helper... the grey man used your hat to deliver a mask to Mugen, unless that was you... he used that mask to his advantage.. hopefully this did not aid the grey man.. [10:58:29 PM] Helper: With the stink of demon about him.
[10:58:38 PM] Oceanstuck: thorin?

[10:59:17 PM] Eve Sim: ... A golden holy shower
[10:59:22 PM] Kidpichu: i have a bottle of holywater [10:59:25 PM] Helper: I haven't a clue, for I am not aware who or what this grey man is.
[10:59:42 PM] Helper: It would require much more than a shower.
[10:59:53 PM] Grey: save it, we need the holy water to test for fake floors while gather Dracula's parts.
[10:59:53 PM] Oceanstuck: repentance? [10:59:56 PM] Helper: The only way to save that man is through death.

[11:07:18 PM] Grey: Do we get a hint of what it is?
[11:07:18 PM] Grey: Do we get a hint of what it is?
[11:07:36 PM] Oceanstuck: wait wait [11:07:39 PM] Helper: You will be able to use it to protect from a demon's powers.
[11:07:43 PM] Oceanstuck: our past is often your future [11:07:49 PM] Helper: But only in times of need.
[11:08:07 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: ... are you saying mando and the rest will turn on us?
[11:08:08 PM] Kidpichu: XD i think we should find his hat first~
[11:08:12 PM] Oceanstuck: what if from our perspective we already have the item [11:08:12 PM] Helper: It will be for the group.
[11:08:19 PM] Oceanstuck: well i guess we should get the hat anyway
[11:08:25 PM] Oceanstuck: to fulfill the time loop
[11:08:28 PM] Grey: I think I see what you mean ocean
[11:08:42 PM] The Sun: I don't. :P
[11:08:42 PM] Eve Sim: We'll try to get your hat back, as soon as we contact the person who has it.
[11:08:42 PM] Eve Sim: We'll try to get your hat back, as soon as we contact the person who has it.
[11:09:03 PM] Oceanstuck: hey question
[11:09:05 PM] Oceanstuck: the grey man
[11:09:09 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: This Grey Man takes an awfully long time to respond...
[11:09:12 PM] Oceanstuck: was he a literal demon or a metaphorical one
[11:09:15 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: Just like Patrem.. slow assholes..
[11:09:15 PM] Grey: Essentially, we don't have the hat yet, because we haven't gone back in time to get it
[11:09:15 PM] Grey: Essentially, we don't have the hat yet, because we haven't gone back in time to get it
[11:09:33 PM] Grey: And the one who goes back in time to get it
[11:09:37 PM] Grey: is the grey man
[11:09:51 PM] Oceanstuck: so
[11:09:57 PM] Oceanstuck: time loop [11:09:57 PM] Helper: I do not understand.
[11:10:02 PM] Kidpichu: ack stevey is the greyman the one who is pretending to be helper on the forum?
[11:10:03 PM] Oceanstuck: god dammit this is gonna get so weird
[11:10:08 PM] Grey: time travel
[11:10:18 PM] Grey: which means
[11:10:20 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: .. I assume so
[11:10:27 PM] Admiral Desdinova / CircleHunter: Oh Stevey
[11:10:28 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: I asked him once if he was the grey man, and he responded with "I am the second"
[11:10:29 PM] Oceanstuck: as a homestuck, god fucking dammit
[11:10:29 PM] Grey: if we specify the place the grey man should leave the hat
[11:10:36 PM] Admiral Desdinova / CircleHunter: Oh nevermind that was the thing [11:10:36 PM] Helper: You are in my timeline currently, as far as I can discern.
[11:10:55 PM] Grey: helper can go get the hat from that spot in the future
[11:10:55 PM] Admiral Desdinova / CircleHunter: I wasn't aware that he answered you
[11:11:08 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: yeah... he did :c
[11:11:16 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: he keeps quoting someone though... quite worrying
[11:11:17 PM] The Sun: Wait, I'm a little confused.
[11:11:17 PM] The Sun: Wait, I'm a little confused.
[11:11:22 PM] The Sun: I thought we already were in the past?
[11:11:22 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: seems to imply he's posessed..
[11:11:39 PM] Grey: we're in the future of the past
[11:11:43 PM] Admiral Desdinova / CircleHunter: I thought we were communicating into the past from the future
[11:11:48 PM] Oceanstuck: fucking time shit
[11:11:56 PM] The Sun: I don't get how that changes the items, though.
[11:12:08 PM] The Sun: We've been getting items with no need to go "into the past"
[11:12:11 PM] Grey: it doesn't
[11:12:16 PM] Grey: it's a bootstrap paradox
[11:12:17 PM] Eve Sim: Grey, I think your confused
[11:12:19 PM] The Sun: So this doesn't affect the hat at all.
[11:12:25 PM] Oceanstuck: i think we can interact with both 2009 and 2015 at will as if they were the present
[11:12:31 PM] The Sun: ^
[11:12:41 PM] Grey: how am I confused [11:13:05 PM] Helper: I think I can solve your concerns.
[11:13:10 PM] Oceanstuck: oh thanks
[11:13:12 PM] Oceanstuck: in advance
[11:13:21 PM] Stevey "Hero Of Doge" Freeman: ... go ahead [11:13:25 PM] Helper: Don't think about it so hard.
[11:13:42 PM] Oceanstuck: ...of course not

[11:24:42 PM] Oceanstuck: i guess those have to do with swaying people to their side away from us
[11:25:17 PM] Grey: I have to wonder [11:25:27 PM] Helper: It is to run "nazi gold" across the border of Mexico into the united states, then moving through Canada into Russia by boat, then trading it off there.
[11:25:40 PM] Oceanstuck: hwat
[11:25:43 PM] Eve Sim: Bye Helper, thanks again.

Summary
Helper confirms that his hat has been passed on from Mason to The Gray Man.
Helper claims his hat is closer to the players than they might think.
Helper claims that his body was claimed by the Mexican drug cartel. He has now regained his body but is being forced to pay off his debt to the cartel by delivering drugs and "Nazi gold" for them.
Helper perceives the players conversations and interactions as if they were literally taking place physically. Skype and forums do not exist for him - from Helper's perspective, the players are speaking to him with their voices.
Helper claims that once the players retrieve his mask for him he will grant them an item that will help them ward off demons.
Helper claims that The Gray Man has a feminine figure.
March 24th, 2015
At 2:02 AM, The Gray Man became active on Within Hubris and simply posted "Interesting.".
At 10:26 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "Decisions":
I'm going to go back to the fishery, and make sure to take my blade with me. I won't be able to take any pictures, or post at all while I'm there because it might arouse suspicion. I need to figure out if Doug is alright.
Summary
Mason says he's decided to visit the fishery in an attempt to see if Doug's alright. He's taking his switchblade with him.
At 10:57 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "Okay".
Rain
The rain seemed to stop, which is good. Maybe I'll dry off a little.
The girl said she was sent here through the powers that be, to help me. I don't know what any of that means. I'm going to ask her more now.
Summary
Mason says that the rain stopped - likely due to the submission of the "Song of Storms".
Mason has begun speaking to the woman. She claims that she's been sent to Mason via some sort of "power" - likely the submission of the "New Wave Bossa Nova".
At 11:21 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "Girl".
So, she told me a bunch of bs about how songs can create powers, and she came because some song was played that calls an ally. Totally crazy, but I'm hearing her out anyways.
She says that if I go now, "many pitfalls will be laid in place on your journey, but you will also gain amazing allies in the coming battle". I don't really understand what she means by battle, but I don't like the sound of this.
She also told me to tell you guys specifically that you should trust her, and asked if you wanted your fortunes to be told. Should I just walk away? This is kinda surreal.
Summary
The woman confirmed to Mason that she was summoned via The Ocarina.
The woman warns Mason that if he continues to the fishery, he'll face many obstacles. However, he'll also meet many allies.
The woman warns Mason about an oncoming battle that he'll soon be involved in.
The woman offers to tell Mason and the players their fortunes. This implies that she might actually be Rosa.
At 11:30 PM, Mason made a new post on the Letschasethemouse:
She also said she's only going to give a simple group fortune, to help us or something.
"
You will no longer be able to obtain what you originally sought, moving forward.
There will be many troubles ahead. Old villains, new ones, and even your own brethren.
You have lost some of your powers through interaction with dangerous items and people. Your most powerful weapon has been rendered useless, and it should be obtained once again.
That age-old poem will guide you during a dangerous and fateful choice. Use it well.
Do not trust them.
"
I'm really getting weirded out here. I'm feeling a lot of bad vibes from this. I think I'm just going to go, guys.
Summary
The girl confirms that she is indeed Rosa.
Rosa gives the players and Mason a fortune as a whole. She warns that old and new villains will face the players. She also implies that some players may turn traitorous.
Rosa implies that some of the players' Ocarina powers have been taken from them - or at least they will be.
Rosa claims that an ancient poem will assist the players when making a dangerous and fateful choice.
At 11:38 PM, Mason made a new post on Letschasethemouse titled "Rain."

[9:23:58 PM] Oceanstuck: i guess
[9:24:06 PM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: i just want to hear the answer so i can leave [9:24:12 PM] OracleRosa: When the time comes, you must be wary of not only the poem, but whom you trust the most, and whom you hold dear.
[9:24:24 PM] OracleRosa: You must make a great sacrifice.
[9:24:51 PM] Oceanstuck: whom we trust and hold dear...
[9:24:51 PM] ₳ḎUL₸_ⱢINĶ: if we have to sacrifice somone
[9:24:55 PM] [Gabriel Leonardo]: [9:24 PM] OracleRosa: <<< whom you hold dear....So... No one? /shot [9:24:56 PM] OracleRosa: Greater than any worldly object, or power.

[9:27:11 PM] Grey: Hey...Rosa... How far into the future can you see?

[9:27:13 PM] [Gabriel Leonardo]: All of us? or a specific someone? [9:27:14 PM] OracleRosa: I must leave before it happens.
[9:27:17 PM] Mugen Kagemaru (W♔♙): Grey [9:27:25 PM] OracleRosa: I am in great danger here.

Mason's off running with his tail between his legs. I need your help.
He's going to try to convince you I am the bad guy. I'm not. I'm just trying to escape. And I need your help.
Mason is kinda getting in the way of it. He's luring you guys away from me with his lies and wit. I didn't even know he was capable of this.
Everything is fine with me, they are keeping me captive and questioning me about you guys, but they haven't done anything else. It's been kind of harsh, but I guess they would be that way, huh?
I've been told of your powers, and it makes sense, considering all the crazy stuff that's happened to me while I was in contact with you guys. I need you to send Mason far away, and I need you guys to help me again.
I'm sure you will have time to plan things out.
-Doug
Summary
Doug urges the players to trust him, claiming that Mason has been lying to them.
Doug claims he is trapped in the fishery and needs the players' to help him escape and send Mason away.
Despite claiming that he's trying to escape, Doug claims that everything is fine. However, the cult has been questioning him about the players.

[11:02:32 PM] Oceanstuck: is that for me
[11:02:34 PM] Eve Sim: wait, who said they chose to save doug? [11:02:38 PM] The Man: Yes.
[11:02:42 PM] Kidpichu: because demons are purrsuasive

[11:02:52 PM] Kidpichu: XD [11:02:56 PM] The Man: Funnily enough.
[11:02:58 PM] Wolfcat: Just because we chose their file

Summary
Helper claims to have finished his business with the Mexican drug cartel.
Helper directs the players to a new upload on the "M" YouTube channel.
At 11:25 PM, players discovered that a new video had been uploaded to the "M" YouTube channel - "N".
This video begins with someone walking around the same wooded area seen in the video E. The video cuts to several shots of a nearby cellphone tower, which the cameraman seems to be observing. The cameraman briefly turns around and observes the woods, which causes the footage to darken slightly. The cameraman then begins walking along a path next to the cellphone tower. The footage cuts once again. The cameraman is now walking along a road that leads directly to the cellphone tower. The cameraman slowly turns around, resulting in the footage corrupting loudly. The video then cuts several times as the cameraman runs towards the cellphone tower. The footage suddenly cuts to another shot of the woods as a loud scream can be heard. A disturbing, eyeless face can be seen for a brief second along with the text "s0K0lt".
The video cuts to black for several seconds before more footage of the cameraman running towards the cellphone tower is shown. The cameraman finally reaches the cellphone tower. They observe the gate surrounding it for a bit before the video goes black. Sounds of someone climbing over the fence can be heard. The video remains black for several seconds before a link to a Vocaroo file is shown:
http://vocaroo.com/i/------Rd1rFi
The missing letters within this link were found earlier in the video next to the disturbing face.
Summary
This video seems to be a continuation of the video "E".
The person recording is presumably The Gray Man. They exit the woods seen in the video "E" and begin approaching a cellphone tower while possibly being chased.
A link to an audio file hosted on the website Vocaroo briefly flashes on screen.

Summary
The Man apologizes for the non-existent Vocaroo link, explaining that the website sometimes deletes files.
The Man provides the players with a functional Vocaroo link which contains audio of an SSTV signal that translates to an image of "The Fool" Tarot card overlaying an "Eight of Hearts" playing card.

At 5:10 PM, The Gray Man became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players.
Some of you seem to be having trouble trusting your peers. This is a quality unsuitable for this type of mission you're taking on. Perhaps you should learn to give others a chance, regardless of your personal feelings and contempt. If you fight for too long, your chance will slip by and your new friends could die.
And after that painful, friendship-threatening vote, you wouldn't want that, would you?
Summary
The Gray Man chides the players for bickering with one another after the controversial decision to choose Doug's save file over Mason's.
April 4th, 2015
At 4:29 PM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players.
4/4/15 - Chat with Patrem - Within Hubris (JiD Thread)
/Patrem\ 4:29 PM: "No mortal can go without rest."
Eve 5:04 PM: "Indeed, your host was quite upset the last time he awoke."
Stevey 5:15 PM: "I find it odd we do something to find a "friend" and you return to us..." /Patrem\ 5:21 PM: "He is a fool, and in his time has become a detriment to my plans. He will now know nothing of what has transpired however. Despite his best efforts to keep archive of what he learned."
Helix 5:27 PM: "What of Doug? He is a fool now too?"
Eve 5:32 PM: "That would be a very wise idea. He'd be too bewildered. But now that you're able to communicate again, is there any information that you'd like to impart?" /Patrem\ 5:50 PM: "Douglas is of significance and that is all I shall say of him. As for information that may be of interest to you children, I may be willing to tell you of what is to come."
Stevey 5:50 PM: "We'd be much grateful.."
Eve 5:54 PM: "That would be a helpful gift."
Helix 5:59 PM: "That would be very much appreciated. Doug is also important to us. If I may humbly ask, do you know of how Mason is doing? We are concerned as we lost contact with him at a crucial point, as well as if you know of a certain individual named Rosa?" /Patrem\ 6:21 PM: "That foolish girl has damned herself, she and her brother started on the wrong path and never attempted to correct this. Her toungue is that of lies and she is a blind whore. Ask me not of her again for she and her kin are nothing but ignorant fools."
Stevey 6:24 PM: "So what is to come..?"
Oceanstuck 6:43 PM: "this is a bit late but what awaits mason as things stand now, and if that which awaits is unfavorable how may we change those things in our favor" /Patrem\ 7:19 PM: "Shall you continue to ask me foolish questions, or shall I speak to you the true words of the future? The choice is yours."
Circlehunter 7:23 PM: "We'd love to hear about the future. Anything at all would be wonderful." /Patrem\ 8:31 PM: "There will be a coming time in which a portal shall be opened. This place was forged by the one they call saint, and is governed by the one I call grand. Named a petty insult directed at the terrible fate of one child and the loss of another. Through here you may encounter many things both of your kind, and from times before man. He will seek the burned one, without his puppet he is only half of his potential. He will seek the link of that time, for it is through his death that he believes he will truly become a god. He is a grand fool, but he is one of my special children. However, this is not of the task at hand. Worry now for what lies before you. Now I must go, a ceremony shall soon be at hand, blood must be spilled when mother calls for it."
GreyouTT 11:33 PM: "Wait, BLOOD? WHAT? WHAT?!"
Summary
Vincent has fallen asleep, allowing Patrem to regain control of his body.
Patrem speaks poorly of Rosa and Mat, claiming that they "started on the wrong path and never attempted to correct this".
Patrem speaks cryptically of a portal that will soon be opening. This portal was created by someone referred to as "saint" and governed by someone Patrem calls "grand".
Patrem claims this portal has a name that is based off the "terrible fate" of one child and the "loss of another".
Patrem claims that the players will meet both familiar and foreign entities in the portal - some from the present and others from ancient times before man.
Patrem claims the "grand" one he mentioned previously is seeking a puppet known as "the burned one" that will make them more powerful.
Patrem says that the "grand" one wishes to kill the "link of that time", as it will lead to them becoming a god.
Patrem says that while the "grand" one is one of his "special children", he is also a "grand fool".
Patrem departs for a ceremony that requires a blood sacrifice.
At 6:39 PM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris via PM's with the player Stevey.
Stevey 6:39 PM: "Mugen constantly acts above everyone else.. he also erm.. claimed you were a "worthless buffoon" thought you should know." /Patrem\ 6:46 PM: "I am aware of this child, I see him even now."
/Patrem\ 6:46 PM: ""I'm already smelling the ashes""
Stevey 6:47 PM: "He's a inconvinence... I hope you agree on that.." /Patrem\ 6:48 PM: "He knows not the child that burns"
/Patrem\ 6:49 PM: "There is no time to wet the ashes now"
Stevey 6:50 PM: "...who was or is this child...?" /Patrem\ 6:55 PM: "And yet he hides, the grand child clings to me as he as the burned one hides. Grand and yet weak, you have already heard his name, but his new name will be spoken in time. The burned one is beyond us yet works within my dominion, he seeks to communion with one who is flying, who is of the water. He screams loudly, he is but a nuisance."
/Patrem\ 6:56 PM: "Speak to me no more of this screaming burned child."
Stevey 6:58 PM: "I thank you again for sharing your knowledge with me.. I apologize if it caused any discomfort or annoyance." /Patrem\ 7:00 PM: "He is not mason nor douglas, he is one of you."
Stevey 7:01 PM: "... and now I suddenly worry for my safety... well I thank you again, that aids us in narrowing it down."
Stevey 7:44 PM: "You mentioned a "mother" who calls for blood... may I get a hint or answer to her identity?"
Summary
Patrem claims that the players already know the name of the "Grand Child", but he now has a new name that will be revealed later.
Patrem claims the "Burned One" seeks to find the "One who is flying", who he also describes as being "of the water". This is likely the "flying" entity mentioned in the bedtime story.
Patrem reveals that the "Burned one" is one of the players. The "Burned one" was also the "screaming" entity mentioned in the bedtime story.
The player Stevey asks Patrem which "mother" Patrem has referred to in the past but he does not respond.
At 8:11 PM, the player Oceanstuck messaged Patrem on Within Hubris, asking the following: "did someone want to speak with me".
April 5th, 2015
At an unknown time, players begin speculating that Mason is going to be sacrificed at the ceremony Patrem mentioned.
At 2:15 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and posted the message "You foolish children, this affair has nothing to do with mason.".
At 2:54 AM, the player Circlehunter submitted the video "Jailbreak.wmv" - a video containing footage of Majora's Mask featuring Link dancing with the "Kamaro's Mask before playing the "Song of Soaring" to escape to Link's house from "Ocarina of Time". After this, Link played the "Song of Storms" to make it rain and played the "Sun's Song. This was done with the intention of saving Doug.
At 2:58 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and posted the message "There was no plan to spill the blood of the child douglas on this night. You children ran forth blindly and your efforts were thus wasted.".

At 4:14 PM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and responded to the player Stevey's PM from several days prior, answering his question "You mentioned a "mother" who calls for blood... may I get a hint or answer to her identity?" with "I bring swift demise to those who dare question her. You may know her as Luna, maiden of the night and goddess of the moon.", confirming that this cult's goddess is indeed Luna.
At 6:15 PM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and responded to the player Oceanstuck's PM from several days prior, answering her question "did someone want to speak with me" with "Was it not you who wished to be spoken too? Who is it you desire child?"

At 11:13 PM, The Man joined the Internet Detectives Skype group and began chatting with the players. Unfortunately, this conversation was not archived. Below is a generalized summary of what was discussed:
The ARG will be placed under a hiatus due to server issues regarding YSHDT.com.
All players have an equally important role in determining the direction of the ARG.
A hint was given for the "Tt lmhiw eemic elo" cipher left by Helper a few days prior, which at this point in time had yet to be solved.
At 11:42 PM, The Man briefly rejoined the Internet Detectives Skype group and simply asked "Yes or no?". The player Eve answered "No", after which The Man simply replied with "ok" before leaving the group.
At 11:45 PM, The Gray Man became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players.

April 11th, 2015
At 12:52 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris and began chatting with the players.
Eve 12:44 AM: "Hello Patrem. Plans coming along smoothly?" /Patrem\ 12:52 AM: "My aspirations shall never cease to unfold favorably my child."
Eve 12:59 AM: "I'm happy to hear that." /Patrem\ 1:13 AM: "The time has passed, my children performed a humorous ceremony in the holy building. They seem to think mother is impressed by the bleeding of their own blood and their carnal motions."
Mugen Kagemaru 1:25 AM: "Spilling their own blood? Amusing. Pointless, but amusing. Any fallen?"
Mugen Kagemaru 1:25 AM: ""My aspirations shall never cease to unfold favorably my child.""
Mugen Kagemaru 1:25 AM: "I wonder about that..."
Seeker 1:29 AM: "YOU ALL NEED HELP."
Stevey 1:30 AM: "this is why everyone is turned away by mugen..."
Oceanstuck 1:42 AM: "that is so unhealthy of them i have the urge to reprimand this"
Eve 1:45 AM: "Did they harm anyone?"
Seeker 1:47 AM: "It say's THEIR OWN. which means one thing, they must be self harming themselves."
Sengi 1:55 AM: "Maybe a member was sacrificed... Maybe it could have been Douglass at this point..." /Patrem\ 1:56 AM: "If they are weak and foolish enough to choose these actions, father shall leave them to their terrible fates. These foolish neophytes have disgraced mother with their petty bleeding and carnal actions before her."
/Patrem\ 1:56 AM: ((An audio file is posted which seems to be a recording of the ritual Patrem is speaking of. Drums, sobbing, and moaning can be heard along with someone saying "As I stand here on this most holy of nights, what pours from my arm is spilled in her name."))
Stevey 2:07 AM: "What sort of madness even persuaded them to take these actions?"
Sengi 2:08 AM: "I cant distinguish anything within the voice clip beyond crying/sobbing and probably someone making a sacrifice..."
Seeker 2:13 AM: "SOUNDS like a whale dying."
Eve 2:17 AM: "That sounds terrible. How sad."
Oceanstuck 2:19 AM: "aw come on dont pervert my happy birthday song that shit was supposed to be fuckin heartfelt keep your creepy ritual bullshit out of that"
Eve 2:25 AM: ""Father shall leave them to their terrible fates.""
Eve 2:25 AM: "Their loss! Make sure you never leave us."
Circlehunter 3:49 AM: "You mean to tell us that there was an orgy in the holy building? Terrible fate incoming, indeed. That's sacred ground!"
Summary
Patrem mocks his followers for performing rituals of self sacrifice in the holy building.
Updates
Files:
((Unnamed File)) - Patrem's recording of the cult's ceremony. Sobbing, moaning, and drum beats can be heard, along with someone saying "As I stand here on this most holy of nights, what pours from my arm is spilled in her name.".
At 2:13 AM, Patrem became active on Within Hubris via PM's with the player Stevey.
Stevey 2:13 AM: "Why would they do that? .. did someone tell them to sacrifice their blood for Luna? I dont understand why such madness would overtake them so suddenly.. Also, what sort of voices (before the chanting) were mixed up in that vocaroo file you sent to us?" /Patrem\ 2:27 AM: "The child who acts as overseer while the fishery overseer is away was the one who spoke in the beginning. I was not physically present, for I was baring witness to a much more important ceremony on the night of the blood moon, the true blood moon ritual. As for what he said: "As I stand here on this most holy of nights, what pours from my arm is spilled in her name." He did not leave the fishery that night, silly child.
Stevey 2:36 AM: "Okay, thank you.. what is involved in the true blood moon ritual...? the others claim (in the call group) that they can hear some of their own voices mixed in there too, during the begining. Oceanstuck claims she can hear her recent "happy birthday" to a thorin in there.. more nolstalgia again..?" /Patrem\ 2:40 AM: "Nothing but the cries of my children, seeking favor from their mother. As for the true blood moon ritual, it was filmed to be added to our holy archive which is currently under reconstruction after an incident that occurred shortly after august of 2012 in your time."
Summary
Patrem says that the individual who could be heard speaking in the Blood Moon Ritual recording was the person who acts as the Overseer of the fishery while the other Overseer is away.
Patrem mentions that the cult once had an "archive" that is currently being reconstructed after going offline in 2012. This was the same year that the original Within Hubris website was taken offline. Patrem claims that a recording of the "true" Blood Moon Ritual will be added to this archive.
At 9:46 AM, the player Eve discovered that the front page of YSHDT.com had updated. The page was now titled "..." and contained the images "me.jpg" - a gray, blurry image, and "help.jpg" - a photo of a storm drain. This page also contained the audio "rain.mp4", which was the sound of heavy rainfall. This page's source hid the following text:
the final set of autonomic reactions in the 20 – 60 seconds before sinking underwater, and to the untrained eye can look similar to calm safe behavior
Summary
This text seems to be an excerpt from a Wikipedia article about drowning.
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/help" had updated. This page simply contained the same image as the front page - "help.jpg".
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/news" had updated. This page was now titled "2" and contained the image "2s.png" - another newspaper article that will be covered below. This page's source code also hid the text "...".
As time goes on, the world reaches new lows, and new highs. As we fight to keep ourselves safe, we slowly eat away at another's existence. Destroying the world, Consuming it, even though we are the ones who made it.
These valuable words, taught to me by someone I highly regard, are Of the utmost importance to me. They show me that, even as we create the most perfect utopia, it May always fail. I would like to take the time to ask all of you, that even if you were to create the perfect situation, or the perfect place to be, what would you Eat, or destroy, or conquer, or incinerate, or drown, to accomplish it.
Summary
This article questions what one might destroy or kill in an attempt to create their ideal world.
This article mentions "consuming" the world. A similar line is spoken by the moon from Majora's Mask.
This article contains some inappropriately capitalized letters that spell out the word "COME".
At an unknown time, players discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/come". This page was titled "THESE and contained the image "GOTYOU.png" - an altered version of "knownlocations.jpg". The state of Florida now featured shadowy arms that were grasping towards the locations of the players. Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida were also circled and the map now featured the locations of more players. This page's source also hid the text "ONE OF THESE PLACES".
At an unknown time, players discovered that the page "http://yshdt.com/yes" had updated. The page was now titled "YES" and contained the image "yes.png", which featured the red dot along with some Japanese text. This image will be covered down below. This page also contained the audio "WARNING!!!.wav", which contained an SSTV signal.

At 7:42 PM, the player Jacob discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/psychology". This page was titled "It's been too long." and contained the image "pnotes.png", which were some notes written about the Players and "demons".
Psychology
- Introduced operative, bait was taken
- Infighting leads to loss of ability to solve puzzles and riddles
- Believes too much that they will understand
- Bent on saving, without a single thought
- Too trusting
Demons:
- Perceptive and deceptive
- Decide to disclude for unknown reason
Sacrifice
They are unneded
"Heroes":
- On top of other notes, are sort of bumbling
- Have good hearts, not heads
- Forget all to easily
Kill
While needed, will be a pain
Summary
These notes are framed as "Psychology" notes - a class that Doug was taking. As such, they are believed to have been written by him.
These notes claim that an "operative" was introduced as bait - presumably to trick the players.
These notes describe the players as too trusting, naive, and forgetful. It's also implied that Doug wishes to kill them, but he requires them for something.
These notes describe the "demons" as deceptive. However, Doug views them as unneeded and possibly as sacrifices.
The word "FILE 3" is written across these notes in big letters.
At 7:44 PM, the player Spirkiroid discovered a new page on YSHDT.com - "http://yshdt.com/networking". This page was titled "Untitled Document" and featured the text "Notes:" followed by five links:
A link titled "1" that led to a password protected file named "the COlOR.zip". This file contained the image "1.png", which featured a shadowy entity.
A link titled "2" that led to a password protected file named "It affects everything, but is not real.rar". This file contained the image "2.png", which featured the same shadowy entity from “1.png” but now with glowing eyes.
A link titled "3" that led to a password protected file named "The Ascension of Jesus by Benjamin West.rar". This file contained the image “3.png, which featured the painting “The Ascension of Jesus” by Benjamin West.
A link titled "5" that led to a file named "help.zip" that contained the image "5.png" - a photo of a storm drain.

I'm sorry it's been so long. Things have been hectic around here, what with all the planning and such.
I also had a really bad headache, but something tells me that pain is going to end soon.
Very soon.
Comments:

Summary
Mason is speaking to the players from some sort of DOS-like operating system which he claims belongs to Doug.
Mason says that the current year for him is 2015, meaning that the players were now speaking to a present-day version of Mason instead of a past version from 2009.
When asked what happened to him, Mason simply claims that he "lived".
Mason requests the "time bomb" plans from the players. Once he receives them, he claims he is unsure what he is supposed to do with them.
Mason tells the players that he will be returning soon.
At 10:21 PM, Helper briefly rejoined the Internet Detectives Skype group and sent the message "Hello. I begrudginggly bring you all a message. "Substitute for phone"".
May 6th, 2015
At 10:59 PM, Mason became active in the Internet Detectives Skype group and began chatting with the players.

Summary
The Man reveals that the YSHDT Arc is now over.
The Man reveals that he was secretly the player "Dawn" / "Dawn of a New Day" all along. He was also "Thelaw" - the user who first posted YSHDT.com on Within Hubris.
The players Mando and Circlehunter were revealed to have assisted The Man in creating the ARG. Mando often attempted to lure the players off course while Circlehunter was "The Gray Man".
A new ARG / series of arcs are being created for the players by a new group of GM's.
At 9:19 PM, The Man linked the players to a video titled "Outro", which was hosted on his OoC YouTube channel.
The video begins with footage of a mountainous environment at twilight. A Zelda melody is being played on a guitar in the background.
The Man begins speaking to the players.
"And the end came sooner than expected."
"Doug and Mason's fated battle came to a halt."
An image of a cloudy night sky is shown.
"Their stories, ever intertwining, took a backseat to something that was coming."
"Something that was huge."
"Their timelines, now completely entangled with another, were wavering and failing."
"They had to jump ahead."
"They had to leave."
"Their struggle will remain. Forever."
"They will face each other in fight until one is dead and the other is the victor."
"But it didn't have to be this way."
"They could have had a decisive ending - they could have carried on."
"They could have made peace, or died in the sins that they wore."
"Some cite this lack of an ending to whomever introduced them to this fate."
An image of an exclamation mark appears.
"Some say it's the fault of their family and friends."
An image of a Goron Mask appears.
"Some say it's the fault of the groups that helped them through this journey."
An image of a bade that reads "Internet Detective Earthling 1999" appears.
"Some say it's the fault of four individuals who would have sacrificed their lives to save these two."
An image of the four giants holding up the moon from Majora's Mask appears.
"Some say it's the Helper's fault for not doing his job with enough gusto."
An image of Helper's Hat appears.
"Some say it's the fault of the man standing in gray, wearing his hat triumphantly, spouting his words of wisdom to all, though trapping the same people in a Circle of doubt."
An image of The Gray Man appears.
"However, it can never be told who was at fault for this turn of events. It could be destiny, for all anyone knew."
"While the story may never come to a close, there will still be a tale."
"A tale that encompasses all."
"A tale that comes from a new Questgiver."
"A tale as old as time."
"And on this new journey, you will have help."
"You will find new friends, and you will encounter new enemies."
"And the help may come from some familiar faces."
"And you can rest assured, because me, your faithful Helper, will be there watching you every step of the way."
The "Song of Double Time" is played.
"So, do not feel disheartened, because your actions will decide if another story lies after this unfinished one."
Summary

Their friends and family.
The Internet Detectives.
Four individuals who would have supposedly sacrificed their lives.
Helper.
The Gray Man.
Destiny.
The Man announces that the next arc will be ran by a series of new GM's.

The YSHDT Arc is the first arc of Johnisdead. This arc began on January 22nd and ended on May 14th, 2015. It is highly recommended that one is knowledgeable on both the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge story written by Alex Hall and the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask before reading through the timelines. This arc introduced pivotal characters such as Vincent and Patrem and required players to explore the cryptic pages of YSHDT.com.
