ARGdov: I can't even tell if this is (lC? Cannon?) or not

IIIII: Oh I dumped it
IIIII: as an old compatriot would have said

Miss Jackson: Do u know where I can find that kind of people?

IIIII: There is one place but there are a couple problems
IIIII: if you go to them
IIIII: I can't exactly talk to you anymore
IIIII: But you will probably figure out why once you get there

Miss Jackson: Who said that?
Miss Jackson: "Oh. This is gonna be very funny"
Miss Jackson: Who said this?

IIIII: the worst thing about my current condition

Miss Jackson: Are you a Moon Children or BEN Drowned is ne of your nicest friend?

Summary

• The player Miss Jackson asks an unknown question - presumably something relating to Ben Drowned or Johnisdead.

• IIIII tells the player Miss Jackson that once they enter the Internet Detectives Discord server, they will no longer be able to speak to them, which IIIII claims is "the worst thing about my current condition".

4/21/20 - "forgotten.png" - Discord (Internet Detectives)

IIIII: I just feel so bad for the kid and all the shit he has been through. I really do wanna give him a hug and say "hey me too buddy", but I don't relaly have time to ((illegible)) either. The thing that took him and likes to take a lot of other shit to is now very aware of what I am doing.
IIIII: I probably should have taken the time to explain a few more things because right off the bat I have already made it seem like I am Tyler in the normal way they would undIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIII: ((A link to the Internet Detectives Discord server encoded as binary is sent))

Miss Jackson: Listen: i am not afraid of those who command you or at your dear friends. I'm looking for people in large spaces and, politely, I would like to know where I can find these people. I'm so sorry if you are in a bad moment, but, dude, me too.
Miss Jackson: What the actual fuck?
Miss Jackson: Dude
Miss Jackson: Are you ok?
Miss Jackson: Answer me

IIIII: ((The image "sleeproom.gif" is sent))

Summary

• This screenshot shows the conversation between the player Miss Jackson and IIIII that the players failed to ask for on August 17th, 2019 - something the Mask Entity taunted them for later that day.
• IIIII claims that they feels bad for Ben.
• IIIII sent the player Miss Jackson the image "sleeproom.gif" - the distorted image of a green room containing a chair that was sent in the Internet Detectives Discord server later that day.

• At 2:34 AM, IIIII became active on Discord and sent the player Xenquility an excerpt from the Ryukaki QnA that took place on the original Within Hubris forum:

4/21/20 - Ryukaki QnA Excerpt - Discord (PM's)

sgtpieman: Ah, so there isn't any plans for you to have an epic battle with a BEN-possessed Jadusable at the end of the ARG? Depending on what all happens in Arc 3 determining the outcome of the battle? Because I was kinda hoping for that...

On a different note, did you actually lose your bike somehow or were you just acting?

APseudonym: I'm not sure what Jad has planned for the 3rd arc.

I did not in fact lose the bike, just acting. Yes, the bike is gone, you must all help to rescue it. It needs to be saved. It is lonely. On the other hand, it was a pretty nice bike, but the fellow who lent it to me didn't put much air in the tires, so I had to ride like ~10 minutes on crappy-air tires to and from the place where I shot the video.

(Note: At this point the argument between Alex Hall and Ryukaki had already begun in a separate thread.)
