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."

"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.
• An entity named "Arawn" is mentioned, though not expanded upon.
• Many Lunar Children are referenced, such as Sheepdog, Hope, and Thoth.
• Luke is referenced as having visited a library, presumably the Lunar Children's library at the Spire which is partially governed by the Elder Child Jinn. It's implied that Jinn might be an aggregated being of some sort.
• Text from Erika seems to imply that Tyler might be II, or "The second".

• At 4:25 PM, BUP became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent a link to a Facebook page titled "Notahoax_m12's FB Meme Site". (Link) This page was owned by NotAHoax, and seemed to simply be a meme page where he would occasionally comment on memes he uploads. The images discovered here were as follows:
1st Image - Hoax: "Of course I've been LOCKDOWN since 'Nam BROTHERS...".
2nd Image - Hoax: "Bricks of hard cheese make good rations BROTHER..."
3rd Image - Hoax: "IDIOTS are spiking the price of milsurp BROTHER I live off milsurp!".
• At 11:11 PM, a video was uploaded to the Greth Vlogs YouTube channel - "rendevous". This video contained footage of what appeared to be the Parallelos and a conversation between two individuals.

4/23/21 - "rendevous" - YouTube (Greth Vlogs)

Footage of what appears to the be the Parallelos is shown. The location seems to be the same one seen in the video "Escape p.2". The following text appears on screen:

"Well... I've witnessed some rather strange magic myself, lately... First hand."
"yeah, well"
"im not really sure what youre referring to"
"but i doubt its anything compared to this"
"Who's the target?"
"you-know-who"
"Ah... I see. Our little troublemaker."
"Any ideas for approach?"
"at the moment?"
"none"
"things are still developing"
"with the way things are going, i dont even know if we should take action"
"And what if we should?"
"I'm on the move, and I may not be around to receive your orders."
"Perhaps a series of codewords are in order?"
"codewords...?"

The text begins appearing once again:

"Well... I've witnessed some rather strange magic myself, lately... First hand."

• At 8:45 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner image changed several times, cycling through various distorted images of Patrem and Hank.
• At 10:18 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "https://vocaroo.com/1hUrhlFCIFql" - a link to an audio file containing a deep voice that reads as follows:

• At 10:41 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "ettps://vonhroo.nol/1eUrejCNFCqj".
• At 10:58 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner image changed to a distorted screenshot of the gate in the "Treeline" Janus room.
• At 11:04 AM, the player thelostbrineinthewoods discovered that a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/compound". This page was titled "Compound" and contained the image "realm.gif", just like the pages "https://johnisdead.com/realm" and "https://johnisdead.com/treeline" before it. 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 rest of the fishery grounds were blocked by a large fence. 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.

"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"

Exiting this building would lead players to the other side of the fence, where they could enter into the small room found in the previous version of the fishery. This room now had a tiled floor with some blood splattered on it. There was also a grate found in the corner of the room that seemed to lead down into a basement of sorts. This room was inaccessible, however.

On the outside wall of this room, players discovered the following written on the wall surrounding a drawing of a disturbing gas mask:

"ASHES BEGET OBLIVION"
"THE SURROGATE DISPOSED"

Entering into another door would lead players into the larger part of the fishery compound. The first room was a small gallery of sorts containing four portraits:
- A man with a snake-like head.
- A man with a pig head.
- A man with a aquatic monster-like head.
- A man with a dog head.
This room also contained a statue of a crouched figure with symbols drawn on its shoulders. Players discovered that walking through the portrait of a man with a dog head would lead to a fenced-in location outside. Here, the following could be found written on the walls surrounding a drawing of a hand grasping at a flaming figure:

"FALSE KING OF FAKE WORLDS"
"HIS POWER WAS NO MORE"

Next to this was another drawing of several spirits floating up to the Regiminis sigil with the Moon from Majora's Mask overlooking it. The following text was found surrounding this drawing:

"THE PETTY ONE OVERTHROWN IN THE GARDEN OF NO END"
"A LOSS GREATER THAN THAT OF HIS OTHER"

The small gallery also contained a doorway that led into a larger room adorned with awards, pottery, and five paintings on the walls. These pictures were classic paintings of gods and goddesses. Each one was labelled with a cipher and contained a red and blue figure. These paintings were as follows:

Painting: "Diana and Callisto" by Titian

Label: "BETWEEN"
Red Figure: Callisto
Blue Figure: Artemis

Painting: "Juno and the Peacock" by Antonio Balestra
Label: "YADHTRIB"
Red Figure: Argus
Blue Figure: Juno

Painting: "Juno Asking Aeolus to Release the Winds" by François Boucher
Label: "UNDECIMNOCTE"
Red Figure: Aeolus
Blue Figure: Juno

Painting: "Diana and Endymion" by Francesco Solimena
Label: "OTHER ONE"
Red Figure: Endymion
Blue Figure: Diana

Painting: "Jupiter and Juno" by Franz Christoph Janneck
Label: "SECT"
Red Figure: Jupiter
Blue Figure: Juno

This room also entered into a small bathroom, though there wasn't anything of note in here. Next to the bathroom, however, was an entrance to a small library. This library contained several pictures hanging on the walls showing different locations from the "Treeline" Janus room. Also in this room were papers containing the full translations of two unknown languages seen around the Janus room and the video "Hesitation". The characters that are made up of many lines and arrows were labelled:

"GHOST HALL LETTERS"

The characters that were made up of strange symbols of varying shapes were labelled:

"BREAKER RUNES"

This room also contained a statue of a robed figure holding a spear. This figure had a sigil on its shoulder and a strange insignia on its apron. A second statue was also found in this room sitting on a throne of sorts. This statue's face contained what appeared to be a complicated Pigpen cipher.

The library opened into two rooms - the larger room was appeared to be the location where general fishery work took place. While not much was found in this room, its ceiling featured a massive stained glass window depicting Luna, the four giants, and various other figures important to Lunar Children lore. This room contained two exits leading outside - a small door and a set of double doors, which were closed. Outside these exits were three more statues holding spears - one guarding each door.

The other room connected to the library was an old, wooden church. The walls of this room contained four stained glass windows of ancient mythological figures. These figures were labelled as follows:

"Saint Josse"
"Saint George"
"Sigurd"
((Illegible))

This room also contained three more stained glass windows on the entrance wall - one that appeared to be a figure wearing a green mask, one of a crudely drawn man wearing clothes similar to those seen in the music video "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical romance, and a grey angel with green eyes wearing a black robe.

The far end of the church featured a large painting of the goddess Diana that was previously seen in the "Spire" Janus room. It was quickly discovered that players could walk through this painting to view a large scroll containing many cryptic drawings. This scroll contained a depiction of a lion-snake creature biting its tail, as well as several drawings of serpents. The serpent on the left is labelled with the runes:

"Samael"
"Christ"
"Pearl"

The serpent on the right is labelled with the runes:

"Lucifer"
"Christ"
"Rose"

The corner of this room also contained a small scrap of paper marked with alternating drawings of moons and stars. This was used as a key to solve an alternating Pigpen cipher found in Hank's office. This scrap of paper also contained a drawing of Jeremy's avatar from the Lunar Children forums.

Behind the fishery was another gate blocked by an invisible wall. On the backside of the fishery was a small garden area featuring a statue of a six-winged angel holding up a "Metatron Cube". On a nearby wall, the following was written:

"ITS DARK ESSENCE LIE HIDDEN WITHIN THE DISPLACED TEXTS"

From outside, players could see that the bottom of the church contained four black cubes acting as cornerstones. On the opposite side of the church was a small creek that led into the woods. On the wall of the fishery near the church was another cipher surrounding a drawing of a gas mask that read as follows:

"WAYWARD SAINT ENTRANCED BY THE TRICKSTER"

Back near the entrance of this Janus room was a small path that led into the woods. This path split in two - one leading to an invisible wall going further into the woods, and one leading up a small hill. Atop this hill, players could leap across the creek and reach a small ledge where another Pigpen cipher key could be found - this one was marked with a moon instead of a star.
