Xenquility: "hello there father"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Father?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "daddy"
 +
Xenquility: "bad joke okay"
 +
Xenquility: "So"
 +
Xenquility: "How goes existance?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Existence is... very confusing at this current point in time"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Sounds about right"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "So, are there any questions you guys wanted me to answer for you?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Sorry one minute"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "That's okay."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Probably should have thought some through beforehand but wasn't sure if we'd be doing it today"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "It was kind of a spur of the moment decision. I apologize."
 +
Vincent: "We can stay here for a while, though, if we have to. I don't mind."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Alright sweet"
 +
Xenquility: "OH"
 +
Xenquility: "one thing"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I think it would be beneficial for me to try to, uh, outwardly express what I'm experiencing right now."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Anything you'd rather us not ask about?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Um, if we encounter a question that I cannot answer for either my or your safety I will let you know. I would say don't hang back and, uh, ask anything that you need to."</span>
 +
Slinky: "damn that voice is d e e p"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Thank you."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "alright uh"
 +
Dawn of a New Day: "Not as deep as I am in your mum"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Gotta admit, that was a good one."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "You seem to be using some odd pronouns here. This due to the "other mind" for lack of a better word?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Uh, what do you mean, "pronouns"? I wasn't really paying attention to my own speech."</span>
 +
Xenquility: ""We" followed by "I""
 +
Xenquility: "sorry if it's just a mixup but we've seen that oddity before"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Hm... Yeah, probably. It, uh... I'm not entirely comfortable with it, nor do I really understand how to process it personally in my mind. I know that I'm me but I'm having memories of a different me. But it doesn't feel like me? But it does feel like me. It's- it's hard to explain. I hope you understand. If not, I can try to, uh, word that differently."</span>
 +
Slinky: "Have you felt like that before?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "No, this is new. I don't know if I made it fully aware to you guys before, but I am aware of my involvement with the cult and I am also aware of Patrem. Or pat-rem? However you guys call him. Where things start to get confusing for me is after that tower. I don't really understand what happened there, and from there I kinda just found my way back home. Called up some friends and family, that sort of thing. And then I just went home."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "You felt like this ever since you woke up?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Not necessarily. This is, uh... this is new, I guess. It's either new or it has been happening so slowly that I hadn't noticed it. But now it's noticeable. I have memories of being a child - as ME being a child. But then I have seperate memories of being a child but I'm in a totally different place with totally different people. But it still feels like it's me. And this is what's confusing. It's that these new memories that are presenting themselves in my mind ARE me! But, I don't understand how... how that could be."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Damn, that sucks dude. Any family and friends still around?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: ((Vincent's microphone begins having issues))
 +
Vincent: "I apologize I am having mic issues,"</span> {{#simple-tooltip-img: http://johnisdead.withinhubris.com/images/a/ae/Lens.png | This message was typed in the text chat rather than spoken.}}
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I believe it is working now. I accidentally unplugged my microphone and that broke everything. What was the question? Was I answering something?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Have you been able to contact any old family or friends?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Oh, yes, um… So, they're around, I just haven't really tried contacting them. At this point, I don't know if it's the best idea. At this point, I'm worried. I'm scared about a lot of different things. My involvement with the cult and gradually becoming such a high ranking member within the cult, I'm aware of the lengths with which they'll go to to keep track of someone. And with this memory stuff going on, I don't think it's safe to contact them. My HOPEFUL fear is if I contact them, that puts them in danger. My not-hopeful fear is that they're a part of it. And I'm really hoping that that is the case."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Damn, sorry to hear dude."
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I mean, as far as everything that's happened so far, that's not really a big deal. I'd rather live comfortably alone then have to deal with those people again."</span>
 +
Slinky: "And uh, any idea if the cult still looks for you?"
 +
Xenquility: "Sorry to jump so quickly into the bad stuff, but that's where a lot of our issues seem to stem from. Did you ever have to do "rituals" in the dark place? "
 +
Xenquility: "actually answer his first"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I'm, uh, not sure if they're still following me. I'm just not sure. If they are, they've been really quiet about it. But as far as I know I haven't had any contact with them since after the tower. During the early initiation process there were some "rituals" that you'd have to go through. What exactly do you mean by "rituals"?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Not exactly sure. One of our friends from there, someone named SKM, managed to contact us a while ago. He said he had to complete rituals to keep up appearances as a good  "child of the moon" or something"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I'm not aware of anyone called SKM. Like, what kind of rituals? Cause, we had like ceremonies and that kind of thing, but if any, uh, more serious rituals - which I'm assuming that's what you mean - as far as the more serious rituals, that is when Patrem fully took over me. So I only caught glimpses of that."
 +
Vincent: "I've seen it described in media as like possession is kinda like sitting in the back seat of a car and you're just watching what happens, but it's not like that. It's more like you're asleep. Every now and then you get a chance to see a snapshot, if you will, but it's very difficult to formulate any kind of narrative from that, so during the time that he had control over my body, I don't really know what happened at all during that time. On the night of the tower, um, all I know is that something went wrong and, uh, he was getting pulled into some place and me, being myself for the first time in however long it had been, was excited to be myself, but I also thought it best to just run as fast as I- like just get out of here, I shouldn't be here. I didn't think it would escalate to anything that serious."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Sorry, you said he was getting pulled into some place?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yeah, that was the last thing that I saw. It's hard to describe what it looked like."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "And that would've been back around 2017?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I can't remember the exact year of when all this happened, but this was the ritual in what I keep calling the "tower", but I think you guys have been calling the "spire". The word "spire" was not in my vocabulary at the time."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "I mean, do you think there's a chance he was getting pulled into the dark parallelos?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I don't- what is... I don't understand "Parallelos"."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Uh"
 +
Xenquility: "The dark place"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I don't know. If there's an entrance or an exit to that place, I don't know what it looks like. So I wouldn't want to say "yes" or "no" as I genuinely don't know."</span>
 +
Xenquility: " Anyways, I think the only ritual we have any details of is when one of our friends (Possibly someone named Tyler, not sure if you know of him or not) said he had to "Sleep fast" to "purge darkness within him""
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Tyler is a part of some of the memories that are coming back to me."</span>
 +
Jackuan: "@Vincentadams How is been inside the spire?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I'm assuming he means what it was like? It was horrifying! I just needed to leave."
 +
Vincent: "Assuming you mean how it was in the spire, I do not remember much as I was trying my best to leave as fast as I could"</span> {{#simple-tooltip-img: http://johnisdead.withinhubris.com/images/a/ae/Lens.png | This message was typed in the text chat rather than spoken.}}
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "At the exact moment that I gained control, I ran. I took a quick glance around and I ran."</span>
 +
Jackuan: "@Vincentadams okay, glad to have u back
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Thank you."</span> {{#simple-tooltip-img: http://johnisdead.withinhubris.com/images/a/ae/Lens.png | This message was typed in the text chat rather than spoken.}}
 +
Xenquility: "When you say Tyler was part of your memories, do you mean as some sort of friend?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I don't know. The name is familiar but I don't really know why."</span>
 +
Jackuan: "@Vincentadams u have amnesia or something?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I, uh, wouldn't call it amnesia. It's just... I was absent. I wasn't there, in a way of speaking. Feel free, you guys, to ask, like, really direct questions. I don't think any of your questions could offend me or trigger some sort of PTSD or whatever."
 +
Vincent: "Somewone are you able to enter the voice chat and listen?"</span>  {{#simple-tooltip-img: http://johnisdead.withinhubris.com/images/a/ae/Lens.png | This message was typed in the text chat rather than spoken.}}
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Everyone has their microphones muted"</span>  {{#simple-tooltip-img: http://johnisdead.withinhubris.com/images/a/ae/Lens.png | This message was typed in the text chat rather than spoken.}}
 +
Xenquility: "Did you see anyone else in the dark place?"
 +
Vincent: "Xenquility, I did see other people in the dark place. It's hard to describe what it's like in there. At first there were people, but eventually we just kind of wandered."
 +
Xenquility: "Anyone identifiable?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I mean, identifiable in the sense that they're other people, but not anybody that I recognized."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Were you able to converse with them?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Uh, probably? But I didn't just out of fear. Once I was there, it was just horrifying. And that was it. It was just horrifying. There was nothing else."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "How, I guess expansive was the place?"
 +
Xenquility: "Was it infinite? Finite?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I couldn't answer that definitively, but, um... As far as I understand, time functions differently in this place. That's why I asked what year it was when I came back and all that. I just- I saw it on my computer and didn't believe it. It felt like I was in there for a very long time. I don't even believe in heaven or hell and I believe I had died and gone to hell."</span>
 +
Slinky: "So uh, you blacked out and then you woke up in 2020?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I did not black out. I blacked out at the time that Patrem entered my body, like a body my same size, and that was when I blacked out. After the tower - or, sorry, the spire - THEN I was me again. And I was me again for a while. And then after that, I felt my mental state sort of degrade and then, yeah, I guess you could say I woke up in 2020, but to
 +
me I never went to sleep. This wasn't the same thing as with Patrem. During the sleep deprivation experiments... the sleep deprivation experiments was sort of a cover up or a coping mechanism - an excuse to stay awake, because when I would sleep, I would have these terrible nightmares and it got to the point where sleeping was a bad thing. But I'm still human, so eventually I just got so tired that I fell asleep. And from that point, I woke up at the tower and I escaped somehow. I guess everybody was so caught up in the chaos of whatever was happening up there that I was basically just able to walk away."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Wait uh"
 +
Xenquility: "Do you know at what point you actually went to the Dark Place?"
 +
ARGdov: "Do you remember much of what was happening in all that chaos?"
 +
ARGdov: "answer him first"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "The only, um... I can find it really quickly. There's a video that was posted on my channel. I'll find it just to have a solid time frame. April 3rd, 2017 was the last day. it was on that day that I went to the dark place. I don't know how exactly, I don't know why, I just - I felt my mind, and... I don't know if it was because of my mind degrading, but I felt my mind degrading, and I felt my soul degrading."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "And that was after you woke up at the tower, right?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "No, I woke up at the tower some years before that. Escaped the tower, tried to escape the cult. I quickly ran home, grabbed the necessities - My clothes, my computer, and all that kind of stuff, because we live in the future and can't do anything without a computer - and it worked at first. I was still a little shaken by what had happened, but I just wanted to leave all of that behind me. Because the house that I was staying in at that time, before I left, they didn't keep it a secret that they were monitoring me. Everything that they did - everything from my internet history or however you want to say it to what time I went to the bathroom. So I knew that they were there, and... yeah."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Ah okay"
 +
Xenquility: "Anyways Dov's question seems like a good next step"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: ""How much do I remember" in which chaos? From the tower or from the dark place? Which seems to be what you guys call the parallelos."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "The tower, I guess"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "It was just kind of... Everybody was panicking. It's like whatever they were trying to do went wrong. Whatever they were trying to do in that tower, they had a system set in place and they expected it to go one way and then something just went horribly wrong. And that was the first time I was conscious. I was on the floor on my back and right in front of me was Patrem getting sucked into something, or starting to get sucked into something? I'm not sure, I don't know. And that's when I just kind of scrambled to get back on my feet and from there I don't know what happened. I remember a lot, I just didn't see a lot, you know?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "I guess next would be"
 +
Xenquility: "Do you remember anything blatantly important from the dark place?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Um, not really... The time dilation was unnoticeable at the time, so it felt like I had been in there for a long time.
 +
Vincent: ((Some of Vincent's answers at this point were not archived))
 +
Vincent: "Exhaustion. I didn't need to sleep, so I constantly had this baseline energy to just keep going. But mentally after walking around for so long, I found a comfortable looking tree and I sat down and just didn't get up. I was there for so long that the tree just began to grow around my body, and I was just going to let it. I was done. I had given up. I didn't care. Close to the point where I was rescued, I saw this storm in the distance, and there had been no weather up until this point. It was just still - I guess you could call it a forest - but it was just still. Nothing was moving unless you particularly moved it. And, all of a sudden, there was this storm that was like a massive tornado, and it was very dark and completely black, and it seemed to be piercing through the sky rather than being a part of the sky, if that makes sense."
 +
Vincent: "The tornado itself looked less like spinning air - like, a regular tornado is just spinning air - and it looked more like a tentacle, if anything, and the storm around it was being produced by this tentacle, or tendril, or whatever you want to call it. The most noticeable thing about it was that it wasn't like the clouds came together and started spinning. It looked like something had pierced through the sky itself, and along with that came this dark, smoky storm. And it was just coming straight for me. It started directly in front of me and very slowly started coming towards me. And I was just going to let it. If it killed me, it killed me. Better than being completely alone - just sitting there, letting a tree grow around me, my motivation to continue wandering around regardless of how much energy I had. I wasn't exhausted, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized, "What's the point?". It seemed like the horizon wasn't as far as I thought it was, and it felt like it was getting closer."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Speaking of which, the angel that rescued you, what did she look like?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "She specifically asked me not to talk about that, and I have to respect her. Until I have her permission."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Hm, alright"
 +
Xenquility: "If you don't mind talking about it, what did you see outside of the dark place?"
 +
Xenquility: "Or hear?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Outside of the dark place. So, when I say the "dark place", I don't necessarily mean it was dark. It was green, like... Hm. Imagine your shadow. Like, you have a bright light behind your body and you can see your shadow on the wall. Instead of the shadow being black, it was green. So, it was still just as hard to see because it was still dark - it was just that the darkness itself was a different colour. Outside of this place far more horrifying than anything that was happening. I wish I had stayed wandering around in the forest. I should not have seen what was out there. I just... I shouldn't have. This is when we're getting into the knowledge it feels like I shouldn't have. I hope I don't disappoint you, but for everybody's sake, I don't think I should talk about what I saw out there. I apologize."</span>
 +
IIFan2001: "Alright"
 +
Xenquility: "No worries man"
 +
ARGdov: "Eesh, well thats disturbing"
 +
Slinky: "Okay so, uh"
 +
Slinky: "I may fuck up here"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Don't worry about it. If you have a question, ask it. As my teachers used to say, there are no bad questions, only wrong answers."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "Do you think you're in any danger now? Sorry this is kind of a shift in topic but I'm wondering"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I don't *think* I'm in any danger, but at the same time that sensation makes me feel as if I might be in danger. But as of right now, I don't think there are any cult members following me, and if there are, they're being really discrete. I work at home, so I barely leave anymore. It's been several years, so there's a lot of new technology to support that. It was amazing. It was surprising - I can get my groceries delivered straight to my house"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Did you ever hear about something named |||||"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: ""Did you ever hear about something named line line line line line" I don't know. Is that a thing? Or a person? Or a concept? What is that?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "We have no clue LMAO"
 +
ARGdov: "Its several things somehow connected"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Oh ((laughs)). "Its several things somehow connected...""</span>
 +
ARGdov: "to be honest we're at a bit of a disadvantage atm and its a bit worrying."
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I think everyone's at a bit of a disadvantage, if I'm being honest. There are... I have been exposed to things, places, whatever, far beyond our control. And beyond even my own comprehension when I was there. There's a lot that I wish I could explain, but human communication hasn't evolved in such a way that I can express these things. We don't have the language for it."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Did you ever see runes in the dark place?"
 +
Xenquility: "Things like this"
 +
Xenquility: ((An image of the "Othala Rune" is sent))
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Um... No. There was no kind of symbolism. The whole time I was there, it was nothing but just a massive expanse of forest. I must've walked - and I'm not exaggerating - 10,000 miles. I, perceptually, was in there for a very, very long time. No buildings. No roads. The occasional wanderer, but there was never any communication. At the very most, a quick look and a nod and we'd continue walking. I don't even know if they were real or if it was just my mind, hoping that there would be something there. Hoping, because I hadn't seen or communicated with somebody in such a long time. I had no kind of time-keeping tool, so I don't know how long it really was. But, at a certain point, time just kind of... stopped existing for me, and I was just kind of there."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Any bodies of water?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I'm not entirely sure if I should answer that. There wasn't any water where I was. No... not for me. It was purely... I don't want to say a dense forest, but it was those kind of large trees, like it would probably take three of me to lock hands around the tree, and they were very, very tall. A lot of the time you couldn't see the sky, and when you could, it was just the green. There wasn't really anything to look at. I tried climbing one of the trees, and I fell. That was the last time I tried climbing one of the trees."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "I hope this isn't breaking any boundaries here but when you say there wasn't any water "for you", does that imply that it's different for others?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Uh, I... I, again, don't know how much of this I should talk about. Uh, I don't know if I'm being honest. I just know that there wasn't any water there for me. I guess more what I mean to say is like, for the others that were there, maybe they wandered in a different direction and there was water for them. But, uh, I didn't see any water. There didn't seem to be any life or life-sustaining elements. It was just the trees and the grass and dirt, if we're being really specific."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Ever heard of someone named Erika?"
 +
Vincent: "No"
 +
Xenquility: "Ever saw a raven?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "A raven? No. There were no animals or anything. It was just a deep forest."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "The raven was a statue iirc"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Statue?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Yeah but we also saw it in some of the vids"
 +
Jackuan: "What about Yuuki?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I do not know a Yuuki. And, uh, what did you say? In some of my videos? Or…"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Someone elses"
 +
Xenquility: ""Tylers" video"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Ah okay. And this is the "Silentdork" correct?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Yeah"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Okay. I've been trying to, uh, do research, if you will - to try and understand your collective understanding of your side of the story, is what I meant to say."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Have you seen "5646"?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "No, I don't know what that means."</span>
 +
Xenquility: " "LevANnhUa"?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I do not know what that means ((Laughs)). Lee-van-who-a! Lee-van-hu-a! Le-ven-hua!"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Luna's heaven or something spooky"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "No, I'm not aware of that."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Did the sky ever flash red?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Red? Uh... I don't think so. It may have, but I didn't really have much access to the sky. The trees kind of covered everything."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Did you see a white statue of any sort?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "No."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Ever heard of someone named BUP?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Bup? Is it Bup or B-U-P? Bup is kind of silly. But no."</span>
 +
Slinky: "What about eoeoeoeoeo?"
 +
Slinky: "You heard that?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Eoeoeoeoeo? ((Laughs)) No, it was mostly silent. It was so quiet I could hear my blood flowing."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "Ok weird question"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "There are no weird questions."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "Did the sky ever change"
 +
ARGdov: "color, form, etc."
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Towards the end, yes. The sky made a very clear change. But only towards the end, because of the storm. That was the first time I saw a colour besides green. Like, you know how it looks when you're using a night vision camera? And you can, like, see through the darkness, but everything is green? That's what it looked like in there."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Did you ever hear of the "Absque Fascie"?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I... have heard of the Absque Fascie. I... am not comfortable talking about that. This is one of those questions. I apologize. What I can say is that I wasn't going to say this unless you brought them up. The storm - the, uh, "tentacle" that sort of broke through the sky - that was one of them. The, uh... the black storm is the only term I can think of for it. I was shown and explained a lot of these things by what I'm calling the "Angel", so I know more of what is outside, I guess. Instead of the tendril or tentacle or whatever it was coming through the sky, if you were to exit the sky yourself, you would see what's out there. THAT was the difficult part. After all of the things that had happened in the forest and all the nothing that had happened in the forest… the constant, unending fear - even seeing the storm wasn't scary anymore. I was just... I was ready for whatever was going to happen. At the time, I didn't know what was going to happen, but once the angel took me out, a part of leaving that place entirely involves going to where they are. And that place is far more horrifying. Yeah. I don't think I should say more about them. At least not now. I don't want to give you guys false information."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Would it be safe to assume "That place" is where luna resides?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "That, I do not know. I hadn't considered that. I want to say that I don't think so, but I also don't have the information to say for sure. Do you guys have a name for this place?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Luna's parallelos"
 +
Xenquility: "Creative I know"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "So are you saying that there are multiple parallelos?"</span>
 +
ARGdov: "Best of luck to you all"

<span class="vip">Vincent: "When I was brought out of the- when- It's hard to explain. When she took me "through the sky", if you will, I was able to see the place that I was in. There were more of these places contained within a much, much larger space. This doesn't feel like a place that Luna would want to be."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Do you know how many more?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "A lot more. Once I saw what was outside, I sort of went into fear mode. Panic mode. Just sort of closed my eyes and held on tight and buried my face into her shoulder until we were gone."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Does "subspace" or "astral observatory" ring any bells?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Um... No. But I've been calling things differently from what you guys have been calling them, so if you could describe these places, maybe I'd know if I've come into contact with them, or if I describe them with a different word."</span>

Jackuan: "Hank Hubbard(?"

<span class="vip">Vincent: "I don't know who Hank Hubbard is."</span>

<span class="vip">Vincent: "Okay. I do not know about Astral Observatory."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "But it apparently acts as a vessel for people's souls who are ascended"
 +
Xenquility: "Like the website johnisdead.com if you're familiar"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Um, yeah. I'm familiar. That is something that we paid attention to when I was involved with the cult. We didn't like people prying in our direction."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "How long were you actually in the area outside of the dark place?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Briefly. It was sort of like a "I got you. It's time to go" and I sort of recklessly immediately trusted her, and just "okay". Anything to get out of here. It was sort of just a shot in the dark. I didn't know who she was or whether or not she should be trusted. When we exited the sky, it was sort of like - this is going to sound silly - a gelatinous kind of feeling? Like it was kind of solid, but it wasn't literal sky, you know. It had, for lack of better words, a kind of "Bloop!" feeling to it. Kind of like Mario 64 when he jumps through the paintings. Just like a ripple effect, but thicker... like a slick slime without residue. It was unreasonably far away. No way I could have reached it on my own."</span>

Xenquility: "Does the name "Ghostbabel" ring any bells?"

Xenquility: "Rosa?"

<span class="vip">Vincent: "Rosa rings a single bell, but only because I know the name."</span>

Xenquility: "Some girl who was forced into Luna's parallelos as a punishment"
 +
Xenquility: "and it was apparently so fucking horrible"
 +
Xenquility: "but uh"
 +
Xenquility: "then she became psychic and knows everything"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Did she also escape or get rescued somehow?"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Luna just flat out released her"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Oh. That doesn't sound good. Yeah, I don't know anything about all of that. My understanding was that the "Parallelos" as you call it ISN'T, for example, the forest. The parallelos is- I was explained what the parallelos is, and for the sake of everybody, I can't go incredibly into depth about it. But the parallelos isn't a single place contained within there. That whole place is the parallelos. That angel just called it the darkness. There are worlds contained within this place. Everything from non-existence to pure existence.  And that's all I can say about that."</span>
 +
Xenquility: ""That whole place" referring specifically to the dark place or referring to all worlds within the area outside of it?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Not even referring to all the worlds. I'm talking about the area outside of it. And I wouldn't even call them "worlds". From the outside, they're quite small. For a nerdy and/or annoying reference, it's bigger on the inside ((Laughs)). I'm not fully aware of how much I'm allowed to tell you about these kinds of things, so I'm going to leave that at that. These memories that I've been getting... It's like I have the memories of two seperate people at certain points in my life. And it's like... I know that I'm me. I know that I'm Vincent. I have a life. I have a family. I have parents. I have a brother... but at the same time I ALSO have parents. And a family. And TWO brothers. I have both of these at the same time, and I just... I don't get it. I don't understand. This is very disorienting. And also, these memories…"</span>
 +
IIFan2001: "lol"
 +
IIFan2001: "Its like you have 2 families?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "It's not like I have two families. I mean, I guess it is like I have two families, but it's more like I have two lives. Almost as if there's a copy of me, but they're both me. I have two selves... I have two seperate lives. I have two families, and it makes me think that one of them isn't real."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Wait, are your family actually different people in the other memories?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yes. I remember my fifth birthday party with... In the new memory, I remember a birthday party. We were in the backyard, and my parents spent a lot of money. They didn't have to buy me a cool Captain Hook Pinata, and it was awesome. It was like, as big as I was. All the neighbourhood kids came around. But then, my memory of that birthday is completely different. We lived in a higher class neighbourhood. We didn't have the pinata. We just had one of those stupid "pull the string and the candy falls out", you know what I mean? Ah, I don't know... There were more kids, the cake was bigger, but it's the same birthday."</span>
 +
Xenquility: " Did you have a sister in your new memory?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yes. In the new memory. She was just a baby at the time of that party."</span>
 +
Xenquility: " Do you remember your parents names in the new memories? Or what they look like?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yeah. I remember everything. It's like the memories have started from birth. Not that I remember the actual birth, but like it's starting from birth, and as I remember more and more, it's getting closer and closer to the current time period."</span>

<span class="vip">Vincent: "Oh ((Laughs)). I was thinking of G-force."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Do you know what YOU look like in the new memories?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "It's still me! I'm not different in these memories - it's me. These memories don't feel like dreams or visions of somebody else's life. It's me. Same name- Well, no. Not same name, I don't think. But it is the same me. Like, if I were to remember some time... If I were to think back for some reason to, like, looking in a mirror - because I do that a lot, for some reason. It's just a personal habit. It's not like a narcissist thing, it's just like, I stare at myself and think about existing. It stresses me out... it always has. But, I've done that. I did that in the old memories. Or the new memories? I don't know. In both sets of memories."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "OH"
 +
Xenquility: "Same name?"
 +
Xenquility: "I'm guessing you don't know your new memories name"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I... do know my name in the new memories, but I don't think that I should say it. I, uh… what's the term that I'm looking for... I think the repercussions of people knowing who that is would be too... I would use the word catastrophic. I think that would break things."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "What if we like"
 +
Xenquility: "Found out without you telling us"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "If you find out without me telling you, then that's how it was supposed to happen. But all I know at this point is that I cannot be the one to tell you. With these memories coming back, I'm also gaining a certain amount of knowledge that I feel like I shouldn't have. So there are certain things I know I can say and there are certain things I know that I absolutely cannot say. And if I can say them, I cannot say them now."</span>

Xenquility: "hm"

Xenquility: "In your uh"
 +
Xenquility: ""New memories""
 +
Xenquility: "are you religious at all?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I was raised religious, but I was also not really feeling it, even from like 3 or four years old - some of my oldest memories. My parents took me to get baptized and I screamed like the anti-christ the whole time ((Laughs)). So in my new memories, I would say no. I'm not religious, but I haven't gotten far enough into the memories yet to know for sure. Like I said, it's a chronological thing, if that makes sense. I don't remember stuff from my teenage years and then stuff from when I was eight. It goes in order from when I was born."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Does John Mesic ring any bells?"
 +
Xenquility: "Just in general"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yes. He was a topic of discussion in the cult, but it was more one of those "hush hush" kinds of conversations. I never really pursued any information. I felt like it was just one of those rumors going around. And at the same time given the position that we're in, you don't really want to get involved in these kinds of rumors that are CLEARLY dangerous. You just don't want to do that. At least if you're a good member, I should say. So, I'm aware of the name and that's it. Whenever somebody would... like, we would act all professional or whatever, but there were downtimes, you know, where we were just sort of living together. And social circles were forming within, that sort of thing. At the end of the day, most of us were just like, sort of normal people. And whenever the topic came up, it was like "no no no no no, I'm not a part of this", because it would always be like "Hey, come over here you. Come hear about this", and I was like, "Nope. I have not, and I will not. Just stay away from me. I will not associate with you anymore." Cause when you're in something this serious, if there's even a hint that you shouldn't talk about something, you don't talk about it. Those people were being very reckless. I tried my best to keep my nose clean, which is why I ascended up the ranks."</span>

I'm pretty sure I have the specific dates for when Patrem took over me. Yeah, so four years ago, Patrem took over me. And some time between then - I don't have exact dates - that's when the tower thing happened. And then on April 2017, that was like the last speck of the self that existed within me. And then from there I was just in the dark place. And now I'm here. So I'm not aware of this person, if they're a new person involved."</span>

 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "((Laughs)) Uh, no. Currently just happy to be back and honestly just trying to stay away from any of the enemy plans. I can only hope they don't involve me, but that's what I thought before, so... As far as I know, the ritual or ceremony - whatever it was they were doing at the tower completely backfired and, uh, I haven't really heard anything from anyone. Like... Usually they're pretty quick to find you and basically just interrogate you, but I haven't heard anything about that."</span>

Xenquility: "yeah"

<span class="vip">Vincent: "Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was really disoriented at the time. But, basically, just as long as I kept wandering the forest, it felt like I wasn't going to "lose", if you will, and once I just decided to quit and stop and sit, that's when everything just started to kind of consume me."</span>

Xenquility: "Ah alright"

 +
Xenquility: "Yeah"

 +
Xenquility: "Did time only seem odd after you had stopped walking, or was it constant?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "It was consistent. If anything, time felt like it was going by faster once I stopped walking, cause the need to keep moving kept me thinking, I guess. Like, "Maybe this way, maybe this way. Maybe straight. Am I going in circles?", all that kind of stuff. That was, like, keeping me aware, I guess, but after however many years it felt like I was walking, my brain was just exhausted. I was just ready for some quiet. I sat down with just the intention of resting, but like I said earlier, my body didn't need to rest or eat, so once I sat down and it felt comfortable, I decided that's where I wanted to be. It's better than wandering around in terror. Once I sat down, the terror turned into just fear, and the fear turned into just nothing. And nothing is a lot more comfortable than horrific fear - the stuff that's in your worst nightmares. Like when you're about to turn the corner and you KNOW something is going to be there. It was that feeling for the whole time. So I stopped."</span>

Xenquility: "as two people who were ascended seem to be there"

<span class="vip">Vincent: "I don't know the, like, prerequisites you have to have to go in there. As far as I know, it's possible for some kind of, like, portal to be created to go in there for whatever reason you'd want to do that. But you don't go straight into one of the worlds. You go into that "Universe", if you will. Sort of like uh…"</span>

I would imagine if you're trying to get into that place as a whole intentionally, you would have to have some way of navigating it, and a lot of it in there is just open space, and these worlds are just kind of... floating around, if you will. They seem to be connected by some sort of infrastructure, but I can't understand it. I think it's just incomprehensible. The bridge thing - it could just be the case for Tyler, you know. Maybe everybody has their own way of entering. I have no idea how the angel did it. I don't know why she came to me. I don't know how she got me out…"</span>

otherLiam: "Well you're also important. We'd just also like it if nobody was in the nightmare zone."
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "But why am I important? It feels like I was just a vessel. I got mixed up in something"</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Maybe that's why?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I'm not sure to be honest."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "I think whatever's happening with your memories right now is an important piece of the puzzle."
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I guess that I should explain to you since you just got here that these new memories are coming to me in chronological order. I have memories up to about 14 years old now. There isn't really much going on... just in school. I also don't think you were here when I explained that it's really confusing. It's not memories of another person, it's memories of me, but different, with a different family, and I lived in a different state. It's all different, but I'm still me. I still developed the same. My personality is still the same. The example I gave earlier was like my eighth or ninth birthday party... I remember two parties for that day and I remember being at both. And I remember feeling, like, exactly the same at both. You know what I mean? It's like I'm slowly becoming two people, if that makes sense. And as for how I'm feeling, I'm just confused, honestly. But, uh, other than "confused", everything's fine. It's just... confusing."
 +
Vincent: "A couple of other key details that I think you missed is that while I was in that world, I was just kind of wandering around aimlessly in this, like, massive forest, which was horrifying the whole time, non-stop, until my mind just got tired of it after walking actually for like 1000 years. Time works differently in that place. I came across a tree that looked... comfortable ((Laughs)). So I just sat on the tree, and in that moment, I felt the closest thing to peace that I had felt since I had been there. So I just sat there. I didn't move."
 +
Vincent: "In this place, for me, there was no hunger. There was no sleep. There was no exhaustion. There was nothing. There was just this world that I was in. And fear. And green. ((Laughs))
 +
Vincent: "I was sitting in that place for so long that the trees kept growing and this tree grew around me, and I was just sunken in the tree with just a little bit of my chest and the forward half of my head sticking out, and I just... I still didn't move. I was ready, and right before the angel came, I saw something poke through the sky. Not, like, coming through the clouds or anything, but coming through the sky itself broke. Not broke, but, like, pierced, and it was this large, black tentacle sort of thing, and with it came this massive storm, the tentacle acting like the tornado in the center of it all."
 +
Vincent: "The clouds that it was making were blackened. There was lightning just around the hole - everything a storm would have - and it started getting closer. And, again, I had completely given up at this point. At this point in time, my perception of time had lost me. I could have been there for 5 minutes, or I could have been there for fifty thousand, for all I know. I just had no idea. As it got closer, I could tell that it was coming for me, specifically, and that was when the angel showed up. In short terms, she was basically like, "What are you doing? We need to get out of here." So, she kind of like moved the tree in this kind of way, picked me up, brushed me off, and told me what was going to happen. And she could fly in this world, so she picked me up and we went straight up and then we went through the sky. And I saw the creature that was poking into my world. It was massive... and just terrible. I don't like thinking about it."
 +
Vincent: "Once we were outside of the world that I was in, I immediately wished that I didn't stop moving. I wish I just kept walking around. It was so much more horrifying to see what was out there. I assume she has some sort of higher knowledge and she told me that there were certain things that I'm not allowed to talk about, and describing the place that contained the place that I was in is not something I should talk about. For my safety, and for your safety. All of you. And I just kept looking. She told me to stop looking, but I kept looking… Eventually, the fear hit the point where I basically just reverted to a child. I just held on, closed my eyes, and dug my face into her shoulder until we were... out. Out. And we were back at my house. It was the most disorienting thing."
 +
Vincent: "After about a day or two of just processing, that's when I learned to play the song on the piano that I posted, "Glad to be back", because I realised it was real! I was actually out of there. It was over. I had a lot of time to myself... Too much time to myself. I feel like if we ever discover immortality, I wouldn't pick it. There is such a thing as living too long. But now that I'm back, it's different. I can look back on it all, and it doesn't feel like as long as it felt like at the time. So, yeah. I'm still just feeling confused, and these memories suddenly presenting themselves to me are making it a lot more confusing."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "Did you ever see any other people while you were in there?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yes, but there was never any contact, and I couldn't tell you if they were real. By the time I started seeing people, it had been so long completely alone that I could probably just say that it was my brain hoping that if I would like, turn my head, I'd see someone standing there. If I did see anyone, we would just look at each other and keep walking, so I don't know if there were any other "real" people in that place or if it was just me in this particular place. One thing that I am allowed to say is that earlier the tentacle creature that was trying to enter or break through my world, what have you, I truly believe it was coming for me, specifically. It broke through the sky directly in my line of site. It was coming straight for me, and as we left, just kind of in horror, I screamed. I was like, "What is that thing?", and she told me that it was a race of creatures that live in there called the "Absque Fascie", and I didn't ask any further questions. I also noted earlier that the world that I was in was not the only one in there. There were very, very many in there. Because we were still just going in an upward direction and I just started to be able to see, like, the larger expanse of space that was contained within this place. There were a lot of these places, of these separate worlds, that I would assume belong to someone, and if the people that I saw in the forest were real, maybe several people live in these places. And somebody was saying earlier that BUP or whatever it's called, they're trying to, like, "collinate" in there, and if they have the power to do that, that's a very, very bad thing. We do not want that to happen under any circumstances."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Sorry what don't we want to happen? (Zoned out for a sec my bad)"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Somebody earlier said that the BUP people or whatever they're called were trying to colonize or inhabit a space within this place. That's bad news. You don't want that to happen. Absolutely not. And you say that they have powers and stuff, but something you need to understand is that not even Patrem could handle that place. You know, he was a part of me for so long, but even he couldn't handle that. He can't. There's just no way. He isn't HALF as strong as the Absque Fascie. If these guys are able to do literally ANYTHING to the Absque Fascie, that is a HUGE, like, multi dimensional reality breaking scenario. We do not want that to happen."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "Is there anything we can do to help you?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "As for anything you can do to help me, I don't really need help with anything right now. I'm kind of in a more or less comfortable place. I'm just confused with the memories coming into my brain and I don't really know how to handle that at the moment. I'd also like to make clear again that there IS more that I know that I cannot tell anybody. Not because I'm being threatened, but it's for everybodies safety."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "You and everyone else"
 +
ARGdov: "nobody can tell us anything"
 +
ARGdov: "well, actually most just refuse to, so at least you have an actual reason lol"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "No, this is different. This is different."</span>
 +
ARGdov: "We get it"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "And don't say I didn't tell you anything. I told you much stuff. ((Laughs))"</span>
 +
ARGdov: "Oh you did"
 +
ARGdov: "dont worry, we're thankful dont worry"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "But this is, like, "world breaking can't tell you" stuff. Not yet. It's stuff I believe you'll find out on your own, but I personally cannot tell you. At least not now. It's not the right time."</span>
 +
Liam: Can you tell us any more about that "Experimental procedure" the LC were using? Like, do you know of anyone it was definitely used on?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Okay, so there was a procedure that we were trying to develop - and I say "We" because I was higher tier than most people at the time. This was before Patrem. This was just me as a part of this cult. I believed everything that they were telling me. This procedure was a part of advanced initiations. So, if you think about it in... I can't think of the word to use, but if you think about in like a ranking system - lowest rank to highest rank - lowest rank is fresh, brand new initiate - "I want to be a part of this", so, okay, let's see what you've got. Then you go through the first basic "tests" or "trials" or whatever they called it, but after that it gets more serious. You have to do more serious things, and a part of that is leaving your life behind. The "experimental procedure", when it worked, it would "change you". It would change you into a different person on a literal level. If it didn't work, you'd... Not even if it didn't work, but if the person administering it - because this was like brain surgery that we were doing - if it didn't work, it's not that you would die - it's that you would lose your mind and, subsequently, we would put them out of your misery. If we succeeded, they would come back a different person, and from that point on, I would say they were level 1 initiates into the cult. The position under that when you go through the initial steps with the "go do this" and "go do that", I would consider that a level 0 initiate."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "So it's a surgical thing? Not like, a magical ritual or something."
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I wasn't a personal "administrator" of this kind of thing. I think it's less magic, more surgical. Some kind of magic is used, but it's also surgical. You can't just zap them through their skull and it works, you know, you have to actually pinpoint the exact spot on the brain."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Sorry, was the "experimental treatment" used on each new initiate?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Xenquility, yes. It was used on each new initiate. They were presented with the risks. They were not told what was going to happen, and that was basically the final proving point, like, "Are you willing to die to keep this going? Because you might die.""</span>
 +
Xenquility: "When was this actually developed?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "They've been using it for a long time. I don't know when this developed. When - if it succeeds, your mind changes in a very serious way, and assuming that you even got to this point, you're basically saying "Yes, I'd do anything for the Luna. I would die for Luna. I want to be a part of this. I'm aware of the risks and if I die right now, at least I'm dying with purpose." That's how the people would see it. That's how I saw it, because they can be really convincing, you know, and some people went through with it, it worked, but with a fair amount of people, it didn't work. Every single member has had this done to them, from the highest down to the first initiates. Before this treatment, that is your only chance to leave - to turn around, walk away, and pretend it never happened. Which, considering the kind of shit that these people do, is a graceful thing."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Do they actually let people leave?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yeah, because usually people are like "Alright, this feels kind of bullshit", you know. If you were to be walking down the street and you heard some guy scream like, "Yo, there's this cult. They want to do brain surgery on me." ((Laughs)) And if people DO get too close to convincing someone, that is when the higher ups kind of... You know what I mean? Because it's a very, very organized group of people, and they keep track of everyone. So, they give you the chance to leave, and if you just go back to your regular old life, you're fine. But if you start trying to, like, expose them or something, then, um... you're done. You don't do that, and they made that clear. But the first couple of trials are super simple, but when you get to that one, it's permanent. You're not going back after that. You are a devotee to Luna until you die. It's irreversible. Well, theoretically irreversible. I've never administered the treatment. I've never seen it up close. It could be digital, it could be magical, I don't know. All I know is that once it's there, it's there, and if it doesn't work, it isn't like a "Well, we failed, let's just throw 'em into the dumpster!" It's like a very sad thing, you know, like we'll have a funeral for them and everything, because we know that even by accepting to try the treatment they were one of us. We respected each other. We were family, in a sense."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "You said you were a higher-up in the LC at this time, right?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Yes, but not to the top."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "Then you also went through that?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Oh yeah. That IS the first step. Everything before that is just bells and whistles."</span>
 +
Xenquility: "Damn guess it doesn't convince people that possession is good"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "Well, no. See, that's the thing - once you're way way higher up into the ranks…"</span>
 +
<span class="vip2">Erika_XP💚: "@Vincentadams did you know Luna is actually my patron deity? Also hi xp"</span>

<span class="vip2">Erika_XP💚: "well I guess I should not say a cult in the classical sense is dumb but in its modern application normies have made it dumbo =p"</span>
 +
otherLiam: "please stop RPing"
 +
<span class="vip2">Erika_XP💚: "Hey Im being SERIOUS actually sorry tho =/"</span>
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "But yeah, as far as convincing people that possession's good, we were aware of the concept, but we didn't tell people that it would be a comfortable experience. The higher ups would make it clear that if you are chosen to be possessed by an entity that represents our cause that you should accept it, and that it is not going to be comfortable, and yeah. The treatment from before isn't supposed to make everything seem "normal" or "good" or any kind of thing like that, it's more of a test to see how serious you are about joining this cult, and what it actually does is that it changes you. Like, it completely changes you, in some kind of way, I guess. I'm not sure how to explain it, entirely, but it makes your dedication to the cult as a whole FAR stronger than before, and as you can probably tell, it IS possible to reverse these affects, given that I am here now and not a part of the cult, and, like, afraid of the cult, because as far as I know, post treatment nobody has ever... I don't even want to say "escaped", because nobody's ever wanted to escape. It's just that nobody has ever left. I think that whatever happened to me at the event at that tower... it must have reversed whatever happened to me during the initiation, and that's what allowed me to escape. Otherwise, I would've stayed and done everything I could to help."</span>
 +
otherLiam: "Have hte LC been in contact with you at all since you got back? Or are they even aware you're still alive?"
 +
<span class="vip">Vincent: "I have not encountered anybody at all. I am not even aware if they're still alive. I haven't seen anything from anyone about anything, but once I left the tower, or the spire, sorry, I called up some friends and family and just made my way back to my home. But, I started to get paranoid about my friends and families being in on it, so I sort of just picked up and left out of nowhere in a hurry to a different location in hopes that they didn't follow me, and I haven't seen anything happen yet. I haven't noticed anybody following me, because again I was a higher up, so I know how they do things. But, as far as I know I've escaped them, or they're just not around anymore. Preferably they're not around anymore. Anyone have any more questions?"</span>

I think whatever happens when the memories catch up to now, I'll just sort of have to react to that.

But if I ever come into contact with her again, I will ask her questions on everyone here's behalf, and I'll sort of do my own investigation and I'll ask her what she's comfortable with me sharing. IF she shows up again. I haven't seen her since, but if she singled me out, I'd imagine I'm going to be seeing her again at some point. Or maybe not. I don't know."</span>

This conversation was a live QnA that took place within the [[Internet Detectives Discord Server]]. Throughout the conversation, Vincent would speak over voice chat using a digitally modified voice. Though he answers many questions, there are certain subjects Vincent refuses to speak about, fearing they will result in a reality-breaking catastrophe.
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Vincent explains that when he was freed from [[Patrem|Patrem's]] control in [[The Spire]], there was chaos around him. He explained that he witnessed Patrem being "sucked into somewhere".
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Vincent gives another overview of his journey through the Parallelos. He explains that it appeared to him as a giant, dense forest. Though he was only there for a few years, it felt like ages to him. He reiterates that he felt as though he had to keep moving to evade the darkness, but eventually became tired and gave up, resulting in the tree growing around him and later being saved from the dark storm by the [[Angel]].
 +
</li>
 +
<li>
 +
Vincent says that the Angel "flew" him out of the Parallelos, where things were even more terrifying and he could see what appeared to be other realms.

Jacob is a character who has been present since the beginning of Johnisdead. Originally appearing as a player during the YSHDT Arc, he was revealed to be a character when he suddenly went missing during the Johnisdead Arc. It was later revealed that he was a friend of Tyler's who went missing in 2009 after joining the Lunar Children. While in the cult, he became a vessel for Patrem and took on the name Vincent Adams, having forgotten his past life due to Patrem's presence. Vincent later returned in 2020 after being separated from Patrem and shared vital information with the players.

Story

Jacob was born sometime during the 1990's in Florida. It is assumed that he had a fairly normal childhood growing up. At some point he met Tyler. The two became friends, often hanging out and talking about various topics such as drug trips. In 2009, Jacob joined the Internet Detectives and partook in the YSHDT Arc as a player. During this arc, the players discovered that their Link, Doug, had just recently joined a cult known as the Lunar Children. Once it was revealed that both Jacob and Doug lived in Florida, Jacob asked if he could be recruited into the cult. He was directed to Doug's friend Mason who had him carry out a series of initiation rituals that involved recording oneself staring at the camera while thinking about one's deepest fears and reciting the cult's oath.

At some point, Jacob was accepted and inducted into the cult. Instead of simply gathering information about the cult to give to the players, Jacob presumably became genuinely interested in their practices. Through carrying out small duties for the Lunar Children and keeping a low, obedient profile, Jacob was able to rise fairly high through the cult's ranks. After being with the Lunar Children for some time, Jacob was later presented with the final test of loyalty within the cult - the option of receiving their experimental brain operation. Despite the fact that this operation would completely change his identity, Jacob went through with it. Once the process was completed, Jacob had forgotten most of his previous life. He now took on a new name - Vincent Adams.

Vincent once again rose through the ranks of the Lunar Children, eventually being given the title of "Overseer". As Overseer, Vincent was present at the Fishery on Undecim Nocte, 2011 - the night of Kevin's ascension. However, the ascension went awry, resulting in Patrem becoming trapped in Vincent's body. This caused Vincent to lose his memories once again, completely forgetting about the Lunar Children. He was also unaware of Patrem's presence inside his body, as Patrem was only able to take control of him whenever he fell asleep. Despite this, side-effects of Patrem's presence were still present, such as insomnia and memory loss.

Vincent as he appeared while under Patrem's control.

In 2014, Vincent began a series of sleep deprivation experiments in an attempt to inspire himself to create music. He recorded the results of these experiments and uploaded them to his YouTube channel, Vincent Adams. During this time, Vincent would still occasionally be possessed by Patrem whenever he fell asleep, presumably resulting in Patrem returning to the Lunar Children to carry out cult responsibilities. During this time, Vincent was known as Father Vincent. On March 18th, 2015, Vincent unexpectedly woke up while Patrem was using his body to speak to the players on the Within Hubris Forums. This resulted in the players managing to briefly siphon some information out of him. Unfortately, Vincent was too distraught with the situation and quickly left.

Vincent continued this unaware dualistic life until April 23rd, 2016. On this date, Vincent was suddenly freed from Patrem's control just before the Cataclysm destroyed The Spire. Vincent claims that he immediately ran out of the Spire, but not before witnessing Patrem seemingly being "sucked into something". While Vincent managed to make his way back to his house, he wasn't completely unscathed. Over time, he felt his mind and soul slowly beginning to degrade. This was the result of his body slowly slipping into the Parallelos, where he would go through a horrifying spiritual journey. While in the Parallelos, Vincent passed through a dark, terrifying forest. Though he would occasionally pass by what he believed to be other people, but he would never attempt to communicate with them. One strange side-effect of Vincent's time within the Parallelos was the recovery of his memories - at least to some extent. It seems as though his time within the Parallelos slowly undid the effects of the Lunar Children's experimental brain operation. Vincent also apparently discovered some very reality-breaking information while here, though he has never elaborated on what exactly this was.

After what felt like years and years of walking through the Parallelos, Vincent was mentally exhausted. He sat down next to a tree, which eventually grew around his body. At this point, he had completely given up on escaping and had accepted his fate. Trapped in the tree, he watched as a large storm of darkness with a tendril in the center began to approach him. However, before it reached him, an "Angel" approached him and lifted him up into the air. The "Angel" protected Vincent as the two flew through the Parallelos, where he witnessed many horrific things. Suddenly, Vincent was back in his room, having been saved by the "Angel". Though it felt like he had been in the Parallelos for "eons", the year was only 2020, meaning he was only gone for four years.

A representation of the Parallelos forest Vincent experienced.

Vincent began uploading videos to his YouTube channel once again. These were music videos that detailed his journey through the Parallelos. Players managed to reach out to Vincent in the comment section of these videos, inviting him to the Internet Detectives Discord server. At this point, Vincent was still incredibly paranoid, though he was now much more calm compared to when the players spoke to him in 2015. To quell his paranoia, the players created a separate, isolated chat room where they could speak freely - the Paradigm of Safety Discord Server. Here, Vincent explained many of the Lunar Children's inner workings and his own experiences both with the cult and the Parallelos.

Though he was now in a much better position than before, Vincent was still experiencing some strange oddities. He now seemed to have conflicting memories of his childhood, as if he were able to recall the childhood of two separate people. He described this as though he were two people being merged into a third entity. Vincent continued giving the players valuable information up through late 2020, when he suddenly disappeared. It was around this time that players discovered Vincent's old sleep deprivation experiment videos, which fully confirmed that he was indeed Jacob.

Personality

Jacob is an incredibly troubled individual, having his identity warped multiple times either through experimental brain procedures or via the influence of malicious entities. Before joining the Lunar Children in 2009, he was a fellow player within the Internet Detectives who enjoyed spending time with the others. However, after becoming known as Vincent Adams and having his mind warped via the cult's surgery, he became focused solely on his religious duties. After becoming an unknowing host for Patrem, he lost his memories once again. During this period of time, he was stricken with insomnia and woke up in strange places due to Patrem's presence. This, understandably, resulted in him becoming easily frustrated and constantly tired. After experiencing his horrific journey through the Parallelos, Vincent appeared much more "numb" to everything. Though he still felt fear and paranoia regarding the Lunar Children, he spoke with a much more calm demeanor and complied with the players.

Jacob

Troubled, stolen. Trapped in the forest while the angel workers seek access to his seed. The chemical contained among the residence of the thrice counted eye. He should safe gaurd it but does not. This makes me sad =[

Vincent

A component now being exploited for an attempted ID shell establishment. Don't ask me what that means, but I think the people trying to make that work have or are going to fail. The "aggregate source" was not "awakened enough" I hear. When they wake up I wonder who they will be in the end? I think that part might be obvious for a lot of people by now lol
