4/23/21 - "Hesitation" - YouTube (Silentdork)

The video begins with distorted footage of what appears to be a wooded area near a road with some buildings. The environment is destroyed and crumbled and appears to be floating in a void. Text begins appearing on screen.

"There is another through which I may reach the final layer."
"ORANGE HALF OF FUTURE WHOLE"

A drawing of two symbols similar to the "Star of David" can be seen.
"I'm surprised, Luke."
"I rarely see you in my library."
"I never believed you to be the 'studious' type."
"SHE SEES THROUGH AGGREGATE EYES"

"I SEE MY FUTURE"
"Your dream will end."
"A NEW SPHERE AWAITS"

"No..."
"No, it's the Harbingers again."
"ID"
".root"

"HARRY"
"They are lying to you."
"The Elders."
"Don't trust them."

"Luna's machine..."
"The World Engine."
This text was surrounded by four cubes containing the letters:
"D A S H"

"SHEEPDOGS SECRET"
"I... remember Hope telling me about this, but..."
"HIS PHONE"

")()()(ARAWN)()()("
"I see..."
"Am I correct in assuming you are the "other" of a Finitor, then?"
"FINITOR DYAD"

"I'm not cut out for it."
"I never was."
"I'm sorry, I'm not, like, trying to pull a Draco or a Saint here."
"YOU LET HIM GO DOWN THERE ON HIS OWN?"

"WHAT DID YOU TWO TALK ABOUT?"
"But the chaos agents..."
"What of their will?"
"Intent is a powerful thing, Alan."

"Ezekiel Konrad is a cowardly fool plagued by anxiety and insecurity."
"BUT NOT THOTH"

"THE RESEARCHERS SHADOW"
"Arawn, he called himself."
"A most mysterious character..."

"HIS MASK WAITS WITH THE GIRL."
"You had him all figured out, so he had to make a deal with the devil."
"AW"

"So, brother... Don't try to resist."
"PROGENITOR"

"ARTISTS"
"Do you know why I wear this mask, Sheep?"
"It's because the Lunar Children need a leader."
"CONFESSIONS"

"JANUS"
"Mindshape has been resurrected from its previous terminal state into a completely new form."
"BIFROST"

"I'LL BE WAITING."
"My time in this world is quickly coming to an end."
"IN THE NEXT"

"We were trying something big that day..."
"Something I had been looking forward to for a long time."
"My Ascension."
"NOCTA LIES EVEN TO HIMSELF."

"SHE SPEAKS TO TRAITORS"
"The Harbingers aren't who you think they are..."

"The Harbinger's Link?"
"I assume he's already in our possession."
"IT WAS IFRIT"

"PLUCKED FROM THE PARALLELOS OF THE DEAD."
"That orange thing put him there..."
"Pumpkinhead, I think?"
"A CRUDE MASK THAT DID SERVE WELL."

"HE CRIES FOR HINA"
"Dude got lost in the basement."
"The basement!?"
"How'd he manage that?"

"This sphere grows old."
"Guess he's really got it out for me this time."
"Let us birth anew."

"Well well, speak of the devil!"
"Hey Mesic, how's the haul?"
"WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD"

"We're strong, we can deal with whatever comes next!"

"No matter what happens..."

The footage changes to a shot of the "Path" Janus room. More text appears on screen:

"There is so much about our teachings you don't remember because you did not live it this time, I guess."
"Remember the prayer they made us say for people who were going to be in the finitor and beyond ranks?"
"My favorite part was always 'Grant me power'."
"MAKE ME KING."

"Together with the body of energy prepared for you is the secret of the whispered numbers."
"Beyond comes the trial of four, which begets the inverted two."
"The unreal made real."
"The spirit rejoined to the flesh."

Grainy footage of a twisted hallway leading into an open chamber can be seen before the video cuts to black. Footage of various Janus rooms is shown as more text appears:

"Am I 'I'?"
"No, you are you and me are we."
"That makes two I's, silly XD"

The video ends with a loading bar slowly filling up with the following text surrounding it:

"POWERING UP"
"PLEASE WAIT..."

Summary

• This video contains many cryptic messages written in ciphers and unknown languages.

"Well... I've witnessed some rather strange magic myself, lately... First hand."
"yeah, well"
"im not really sure what youre referring to"

"And what if we should?"
"I'm on the move, and I may not be around to receive your orders."

"codewords...?"

This page also contained the "Compound" Janus room.

5/2/21 - "Compound" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This Janus room was a continuation of the "Treeline" and "Realm" Janus rooms. It could be accessed by opening a new portal that had been placed in the "Treeline" Janus room at the gate on the other side of the woods. This Janus room contained the Fishery as it appeared in the past before it fell into ruins. Upon approaching the grounds surrounding the fishery, a quiet, foreboding song would play. There was now a large sign hanging on the wall outside of the fishery that contained a cartoon drawing of Hank Hubbard and text that reads:

"Hubbard Fishery"
"Fishing Supplies and More..."
"'mo betta!"

There were also several vehicles parked outside of the fishery, as well as a dumpster. The road leading to the fishery continued down another path that was blocked by an invisible wall and a gate.

The first room of the fishery was structured as a convenience store with fishing supplies. In this building, an hour-long audio file played over the store's radio. This audio file contained the following:

"Hello Darlin'" by Conway Twitty

"There's a Stranger In My House" by Ronnie Milsap
"Neon Moon" by Brooks & Dunn

"Do you like fishin'? How bout fresh fish? When our boy ain't out fishin' by ((Unintelligible)) , he's down home with the family catching and cooking the best fish here at ((Loud noise)) Now come on down and get you some at Hubbard's, where the fish are mo' betta!"

Back in Hubbard's Fishery, they got guns, manuals, how-to'ss. We can fix your rod for a small fee. You can rent you a boat. All them things you want. There's one of our tours of the local area where we'll happily show you alligators from the safety of our boat. So, come on down to Hubbard's Fishery, we promise we're not hiding anything.

"Harvest Moon" by Neil Young
"Five Years" by David Bowie

On the walls were three missing person posters for:

"VIKTOR ANDERSON"
"Tracie McBride"
"ROSS JASON WILLIAMS"

An advertisement could also be found hanging on some racks that read:

"50% OFF!"
"All bait & tackle!"
"Ask about our..."
"2-FOR-1 DEALS"

A paper was found on the counter that read as follows:

"ALLOW COMMISSIONER JARVIS HOUSE KEY AND POND ACCESS"
"Call JJ about loaned boat."
This paper also contained what appears to be a phone number that's been marked out.

On the wall behind the counter was a cipher that translated to the following:

"ANCIENT LETTERS LOST IN FOREST"

A door in the store led to what appeared to be a small employee rest room. Here, the following cipher was found written on the wall surrounding a drawing of BEN's face:

"GIFTED LOST CONDUIT TO HIS NEW DARK LORD"

Players found several papers on a table in this room. One of these papers was a menu for a restaurant named:

"Meemaw's Family Diner"

Next to this was what appeared to be a newspaper draft with the following written on it:

"THE OBSERVER"
"Meemaw's Shut Down"
"Body Found in Fishery"
"Foreclosing"

This room also led to Hank Hubbard's office. In the corner of this room was a scrap of paper with a drawing of Patrem on it with the following text:

"THE HUNTED WILL BE HIS DESTINATION"

This room contained a desk with a computer sitting atop it. Next to the computer were several papers with the following written on them:

((The Pigpen cipher key is written along with a star))

"Computer info back in drawer left of bed. Change: Add to all letters in User / Pass:"
"4 9 1 14 1"

A large paper with the number "2" written on it.

"A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O..."
"D I A N A D I A N A D I A N A..."
"E K D R F J P I W K O U N B P...?"
"NEW MOONS CLEAR EQUIPMENT FROM RITUAL HALL FOR NEXT MOON VIGIL"

Near the desk in this room was a shelf with two letters on it. These read as follows:

"Hello, Hank. You don't know me, but I've heard stories about you. I've heard rumos that She spoke to you, and I want to know more. I want to speak with her too - I have to make amends with my family, but the others won't tell me the truth. They told me you died and that you spoke only falsehoods. I don't believe it."

"Your son is still here. Ben? He's strange in ways the others aren't ever really able to describe. It's like he both is and isn't here at times, as if he is blinking in and out, wandering off and disappearing then reappearing without warning. It's odd. It has something to do with you and your connection to Her, doesn't it? I knew it had to be a lie, none of the stories lined up. That's when Jarvis spoke to me and told me everything."

"I know you may not trust me. I understand that. I'm willing to undergo whatever vetting necessary to join you in pursuit of the truth. I can give you information on the Moon Children's current activities if that helps any. I promise you this is not a ploy of any kind, I really have nothing else in my life except Luna. I hope to hear back from or a correspondent of yours soon. "

"William Reynolds"

"Well howdy there, stranger. I heard you'e a bit shot around these parts, so I figured I oughta acquaint myself, hahaha. When you didn't respond to my calls, I figured getting to you in a more traditional format might be a bit more effective. It's a bit ironic, isn't it? Back in the day, I would have been able to just stop right on in and deliver this to you myself, but then they had to up and change my route on me. I tell ya, that's a hell of a thinig to do to an old man such as myself, hahaha. My memory ain't what it used to be."

"I hear things at work are going much better for yourself. I'm glad to hear it, at least one of us has their affairs in order, hahaha. Speaking of which, me and ol' Sam were thinkin' about taking Hunter on his first fishing trip. You wouldn't mind cuttin' the boys a good deal on one of them tours, would ya'? Hahahaha, I think it's about time the kiddo gets some hair on his chest."

"SAMUEL PROMOTED YESTERDAY FORCE IS NOW WITH YOU"

"The kiddo needs a playmate. It's a shame about Mat, I imagined he and Hunter would have gotten along swell. Let's get the ol' boys back together again sometime soon."

"Fuddie Duddie JJ"
