We've been trying to talk to you guys on Discord for the past week or so, but everything we send out has been getting "absorbed" by that orange thing. It seems to be warded off from this place - likely due to our data bomb. By the way, nice going on that one Dov. You finally redeemed yourself."</span> | ||

+ | TheRealXenquility 2:56 PM: "FUCK YEAH BACK ON THE BOARD I mean hey man, good to hear from you again. Everyone okay on your end? Things ended pretty abruptly and not exactly sure whether or not getting kicked on discord physically harms things like ghostbabel" | ||
+ | ithmebin 2:56 PM: "What do you mean by "abthorbed"? ith that the reathon pothtth were being deleted?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 2:57 PM: "Also, apologies for the current state of the forums. I'm not sure why it's so troublesome now to create an account. Same with the slow loading. I believe it's a side effect of the data bomb. Either that, or something broke when Yuuki was trapped here. At the very least, it's keeping Moonman's scambots at bay. GB was able to make me an admin. I'm trying my best to get everyone in here, so bear with me." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:05 PM: "Oh good, it's working. By "absorbed" I mean just that - every PM, post, or call we attempt to send out just gets voided out completely and vanishes. Greth and I are still alive and kicking. GB's fine too, but they were pretty pissed to say the least. I'm more worried for our hacker friends. They have a very specific and complicated way they speak with us, and after the Discord got destroyed, their transmission device got "drezzed" as well. We've been trying to speak with them in any way we can through the hat, but that's easier said than done. What's been happening on your end?"</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:22 PM: "Well, johnisdead.com is back, and we've got access to our "Lens of truth" again (Janus VR). We've managed to access a seemingly digitzed version of the spire (Thanks to the help of a lawman) and have met some weird guys named "Stackoverflow" "dead" "child" "halicord"(?), and "Luna shard". One of our friends, DawnofaNewDay, has been "killed" and is trapped on the recreated WH website in an "emerald prison" guarded by these guys. These guys were the "keepers" of the spire, but seemingly got kicked out when Luna shard appeared. We also met some dude named "prominence". Just a question, I know there are multiple people that use similar lingo to SKM, but any chance SKM is one of the guys you're working with?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:24 PM: "ALSO, Patrem seems to be back, though he's... different, to say the least. Much more esoteric and vague. Less obnoxious and condescending, and seemingly obsessed with some guy relating to the "fourth world". Also said we'd be talking to a guy named Synchron at some point. He's "harbinged" out powers in the WH tapatalk." | ||
+ | ithmebin 3:25 PM: "Tho GB ith thtill alive? That'th good. I'm new here tho I don't really have much to talk about. I know that we found Dawn in the Emerald Prithon, and he can't get out. He'th not dead, he'th trapped in the Emerald Prithon. We tried to uthe the Thun'th Thong to thee if that would do anything, to alert Helioth or thomething, but all it theemth to have done wath get thith thing called the Luna Thard to appear in the Januth roomth." | ||
+ | ithmebin 3:29 PM: "Altho, you thaid that Wolfcat ith warded off by "thith" plathe. Ith it the entire forum, or ith it jutht here? Becauthe he pothted on the truth April 21." | ||
+ | Problematik 3:53 PM: "Is good to have comunication with you again." | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 3:59 PM: "Fuck, your Dawn's dead now too? How did that happen? As for Johnisdead, getting in there was our endgame goal. We're hoping that you will eventually be able to find Tyler in there somewhere, but looking at the size of that place, that seems to be easier said than done. Do you have any contact with that José guy? If anyone knows their way around that place, it would be him." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:59 PM: "As far as Patrems go, we haven't heard from our's in a long time. That's surprising, though - it's hard to imagine him being anything other than "obnoxious and condescending", but I'd advise against pissing him off. I'm speaking from experience here. Also, it would be unwise for us to reveal the identities of our hacker friends just yet. They're probably in the most dangerous situation than all of us, all things considered."</span> | ||
+ | ithmebin 4:02 PM: "i wouldn't thay "dead," but trapped in the emerald prithon. ith that the thame thing ath being dead?" | ||
+ | Itachi Uchiha 4:04 PM: "It's good to know y'all ok, specially for GB" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:08 PM: "Holy shit, nice to hear some good news on the Tyler front. We did find a /tyler page, but we aren't really sure what to do with it at the moment. It seems to be rather old though. Regarding the Jose guy, we haven't heard from him in ages. Honestly, we found a number of johnisdead pages that hinted at Yugi being related to the guy. Not sure if they're literally the same or if it's more of a same-person-different-timeline thing (Like our Greth and Moonman sort of deal). Either way, some shit seems to be up with Yugi. Not sure if they're dead, in danger, trapped, being-used-by-the-pumpkin-guy-as-a-mask, or what right now. All we know is that there were a series of redirects involving him that led to a cage, though we were to slow to save him from whatever entity wanted him." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:08 PM: "We aren't really sure of how Dawn died. He just seemed to "fight" with the IIIII guy, then turned into ||||| himself. Last we saw him in the emerald prison, he was told that he was going to die a "god's death". We still have reason to suspect he's alive though: If they let him fully die, a new dawn can arise." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:08 PM: "Patrem definitely seems like some fucked up shit has happened to him. Speaks very vaguely compared to how he used to speak. A lot more esoteric talk that we don't really understand yet too. We're working on organizing the shit from the past few months as we speak though so we can hopefully get back to some juicy theorizing soon." | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 4:37 PM: "FUCK I should have realized that sooner. José is definitely Yugi, it just makes too much sense. Since we no longer have Nocta breathing down our necks, I can finally talk about some of this stuff. As you know, Greth, Yugi, and I were the only surviving Internet Detectives. Me and Greth both wormed our way into the AO under different names, but Yugi went off and did his own thing. From what I remember, he basically presented himself to Nocta and used his Ocarina powers to negotiate with him. He did a lot of ass kissing and was able to convince Nocta enough to be let into the inner circle." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:37 PM: "The last I heard from him, he was about to use the Song of Time to go back to I think 2016 and grab the old servers at the fishery. If I'm remembering correctly, he had to enter an "alternate timestream" and begin some sort of aggregation. Him being José just makes too much damn sense. If you found pages relating to him on the site, that's probably not a good sign. I'm afraid Nocta or his watcher might have realized Yugi was playing them and decided to play him back."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:42 PM: "Yeah, he is uh, probably in a bit of a conundrum right now. That is, if he's even still alive. I mean, he did seem to succeed in his mission (we did have someone come and take the servers) but I'm not sure how long he survived after that. As far as I know after Tyler first contacted "Jose" he went incommunicado on him. Though, johnisdead.com was locked under "aggregating in progress" since august or so and we still don't really know what that meant (Possibly linking AO to johnisdead? Not sure at all really) Not sure if we ever had the chance of saving him, but whatever took him is pretty indignant that we'll never get him back. And on that note, any idea how we can get him back? P.S. he apparently had an important message to tell us" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:46 PM: "Also, going back to what you said earlier, is your Dawn dead too?" | ||
+ | Bastian 4:48 PM: "Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "I'm not sure about Dawn. I really have no info on his situation other than what you're telling us. However, in regards to both Dawn and Yugi - the only instance I've ever known of people being trapped within a virtual space is when they've been ascended, or killed and have had their soul trapped. (Essentially the same thing, to my understanding) The Lunar Children themselves claimed that the weird fuckery on Johnisdead were actually Deviums. I only hope that this isn't the case with our friends, but the optimist in me died long ago." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "As for Yugi's mission, I'm not sure why exactly Nocta wanted him to commence any sort of aggregation. Obviously it has something to do with the our timelines and the connected websites, but to what end? I have no clue. Yugi was only pretending to go along with Nocta's plan. Yeah, he was planning on grabbing the servers, but he had no intention of actually beginning the aggregation once he got a hold of them. I'm not sure how exactly we can get Yugi back. My only guess is to somehow find him through Johnisdead and make contact with him." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "Also, speaking of the "Pumpkin Guy"'s mask, GB has some info on that. I'll try to get it to you guys later." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "<i>"Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "I honestly just couldn't think of anything else to name this topic. Also, I don't know anyone named Luke myself. Where did this name come up?"</span> | ||
+ | ithmebin 5:02 PM: "Hith name came up on the webthite theveral timeth." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 5:04 PM: "Luke was (I'm guessing) a member of the lunarchildren who at some point went into the basement of the spire. Pretty sure he then proceeded to die or get trapped but all we know is that he shouldn't have seen the basement. They also mentioned someone named "Harry" going missing as well as two elder children (Not sure if the elder children went missing, they were literally just mentioned). This was all from a redirect found on the lunarchildren website." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 5:06 PM: "OH ALSO forgot to mention but the old Mason guy has come up a ton lately. We have no fucking clue why though. (Also x2, Patrem mentioned a bunch of weird shit about "authors" and their opposite which is "I" which is another mystery to us.)" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "When we went inside /spire , there was this note on the wall." | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "<nowiki>https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=218</nowiki>" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "<nowiki>https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=154</nowiki>" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "and this violet note mention Luke" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "<nowiki>https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=298</nowiki>" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "Also, you mentioned to contact José... how? in the past or present?" | ||

+ | TheOtherLiam 3:58 AM: "Hey, IA, good to hear from you. I’m wondering, do you have any idea who or what Pumpkinhead (the orange thing) actually is? It’s sort of hurting my brain to try and work it out. We dealt with it once, I think, but then Wolfcat came back and said he was just kidding about the whole thing. But now it’s real, again?" | ||
+ | TheOtherLiam 3:58 AM: "Is this thing just Wolfcat, and he’s just always been a sleeper agent? Or is it possessing Wolfcat? What manner of creature is it, or is it something we haven’t encountered before?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "<i>"Hey, IA, good to hear from you. I’m wondering, do you have any idea who or what Pumpkinhead (the orange thing) actually is?

+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "So, I'm still waiting on GB to fully reformat and sift through those files, but here's what I currently believe. That thing ISN'T Wolf, but it was using a version of Wolf as its "mask". As for exactly what it is, I have no idea. Greth confirmed that it was definitely the same thing he saw when you guys pulled him out of Subspace - the "orange entity" is how I believe he described it. Whatever it is, it did a good job of scrubbing your records clean of any mention of it." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "From what I can gather, GB restoring the Astral Observatory was what first allowed this thing to enter our parallelos, or realm, or whatever terminology you want to use. Apparently it didn't hide itself well enough, though, because you all were catching onto its tricks pretty easily. That's when it pulled the whole "I'm not real" shtick with someone else's help I think? It's hard to interpret these vague cryptic fuckers. It was apparently using Jos and your timeline's version of myself as unwitting pawns to pull this off, since they both thought it was just a joke as well. I'd HEAVILY advise against that mindset in the future. Us not taking this seriously enough and not thinking it was real was literally what got all of my friends killed." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "<i>OH ALSO forgot to mention but the old Mason guy has come up a ton lately. We have no fucking clue why though. (Also x2, Patrem mentioned a bunch of weird shit about "authors" and their opposite which is "I" which is another mystery to us.)"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "So, I've been putting off talking about this because it's really not something I like to remember, but it's something you all should know. I am the Gray Man. This may or may not be common knowledge already - I haven't really put that much effort in hiding it." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "In August of 2018, Nocta began picking up some strange transmissions. I looked into these myself which led to me meeting our hacker friends. I can't go into too much detail out of fear it may reveal who they are. All you need to know about them is that we began collaborating and together hatched a plan involving time travel. I used the Song of Time to go back to the year 2009 where I installed their original transmission device. After that I tracked down Mason." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I managed to get the postman's hat from Mason in exchange for a card. A fucking card. This is what keeps me up at night, because I have it on good authority that giving him that card may have been what killed him. I pray that isn't the case because I'm not sure how I'd live with myself otherwise." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I used Helper's hat to try and steer you guys in the right direction. Needless to say, having the Internet Detectives fall apart too early would have been a very bad thing. I may have been a bit harsh in my words, but trust me when I say I only had our best interests at heart. Then I found out that Mason had been trapped in a storm drain. I still don't fully understand how that happened, but I think that card may have cursed him. His blood was on my hands. I couldn't fucking save him in time." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "All I could think to do was keep him from fading completely. I was able to use another device given to me by our tech savvy comrades to capture his essence before it fully ascended, dissipated, or whatever the fuck there is to believe in now. This wasn't the intended use of this device, so I can't imagine it was a comfortable experience for him, but at the very least it kept him ""alive"" in some sense." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I was going to take him back with me to the present, but the Song of Time has some unfortunate limitations when it comes to that sort of thing. I couldn't just leave him behind in that prison for nine years, so I decided to stay with him. In the past. My hope was that, at some point, Mason would eventually regain enough of his sentience or consciousness or SOMETHING that would allow him to begin to form some sort of independence from myself and the device. I know it must sound like a long shot, but back then I was still a bit of an optimist." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "Mason actually did improve somewhat. After about 2-3 months, things around our room began moving on their own. I began having awful nightmares of drowning in sewage while a green face screamed at me. Scared the FUCK out of me at first, but I quickly realized that this was just Mason's way of speaking to me. All he could really do was project his memories and feelings onto me. I bared it, though. He was my responsibility. It's my fault he was in the position he was in, and I deserved every second of it. Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to say that Mason was acting malicious in any way. I don't think he could even control what he was doing." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "About a year later, I think it was sometime mid-2010, Mason began communicating with me more coherently. He couldn't talk or anything yet, but he was able cause the little light on the device to flash in Morse. Maybe once or twice a day, Mason would speak to me in simple, quick messages. Though it wasn't much, I think it helped both of us feel less alone." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "While what I was going through was nothing compared to what he was experiencing, being temporally displaced is a shitty fucking time. There's no way I could return to any family and friends - I can't imagine they'd react well to a shady looking decade older doppelganger of myself showing up. It was also hard to find any valuable entertainment. Memes and fads just lose their value once you already know what's going to happen. At the very least I was able to revisit some old stories I loved with a fresh mind and different perspective. To put it simply, I had a shitty time, but at least I didn't have a shitty time by myself." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "In early 2012, I think January, we were attacked. I don't want to say for sure, but I'm fairly certain it was Nocta who ambushed us. Back then he was still known as Regiminis. He seemed to be struggling, though. It was almost like he was weakened? Despite that, Mason and I really didn't stand a chance against him. I ran for days. I was exhausted, getting hardly any sleep. Any time I closed my eyes, I could hear his voice. Whenever I did manage to get some rest, I had constant nightmares about that fucking red smile." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I was at my absolute limit. Mason was begging me to leave him and escape with the Song of Time, but I couldn't just abandon him. Exhaustion finally set in and I couldn't run anymore. We were cornered, and I was out of options. I played the Song of Time and returned to the present, leaving Mason behind. I got him killed for a second time." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I'm sorry. That became less of an explanation and more of a giant venting session. I just wish I could have done more for Mase. I'm still trying my damnedest to repay him. Hopefully this gives you all some more context. I'm not sure if it'll help out with whatever references you've discovered relating to him, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:31 PM: "Holy shit man. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I mean I doubt it's any solace, but one of the pages on johnisdead (/tomb) has an image talking about a man named mason entering the home of someone drowning (though as I'm typing this I'm really hoping this doesn't mean anything bad). So, is there only one gray man? We were under the impression that it was OUR CircleHunter that was the grey man. Or is this a both-of-you-are-the-gray-man-in-your-respective-timelines type deal?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:31 PM: "So with the mention of you guys having a Patrem and Nocta apparently at one point being Regiminis, did the Lunar Children "progress" the same way in your timeline? Obviously Regiminis turning into Nocta is different, but did your LC experience the "cataclysm" at the spire and shit like that? The device you used: would it happen to be a technomancer? We recently saw a video called IMG_4622 uploaded where someone followed some coordinates and seemingly activated a technomancer, only to take out a note from the grey ma- you, signed in 2009. And no, we have no idea what a technomancer is or what the video was showing us." | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 2:54 PM: "I can't really get into the contents of that video right now. However, I will confirm that I was the one who wrote that note, meaning that was most likely the same device. As for what a Technomancer is, I really have no idea. I'm not the tech-savvy one, I was just doing what I was told." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 2:54 PM: "As for my actions manifesting in your timeline... That's something I've been pondering over for quite some time now. It seems that our timelines are quite similar. In fact, through all my reading through your documents, I've found no discrepancies when it comes to the histories of the Lunar and Moon Children. In fact, I'd even go as far to say there's no differences at all up until 2011. I could always be wrong, though. The fact that I traveled back to the year 2009 falls in line with this. Events from our two timelines were the same up until then. I don't really know what this means, though - it could just be completely coincidental. Also, I don't know how your version of myself could be the Gray Man unless he just so happened to go back in time to the same year as me and carried out the same tasks that I did. I can't imagine why that would be the case." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 2:54 PM: "Also, to answer your question - yes, there was a disaster at the Spire that pretty much did the Lunar Children in. I'm not certain what caused it, though."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:07 PM: "Huh. We do know a bunch of time bullshit was happening back then (Mind you, not sure whether the discrepancies would've been in 2009 itself or in 2015 when we were interacting with 2009) and we also saw "timelines merging" (for lack of a better word) in 2016 when we interacted with the 2010 youshouldnthavedonethat.net (Also just noticed but the 6 year gap present in both situations might mean something :?: ) What differences were present in 2011?" | ||
+ | Bastian 3:12 PM: "At this point, how can we help you? Is there a way to contact with your friends? Or José? Or did you leave something for us in case of death in your time travel?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "<i>Huh.

+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "Well, the biggest one is the fact that your SKM was nothing like our SKM. We never knew the friendly, jokey hacker described in your records. Instead, our SKM was nothing more than a bloodthirsty, malicious entity that was constantly on the hunt for Max. Speaking of, Max is the second big change that comes to mind. We never spoke to any "Drowned" person - only Max. If I'm understanding correctly, Drowned was an entity consisting of both Ben and Max, right? Well, for some reason it was just Max for us. He was able to help us into Lunarchildren.com just in time to save Tyler." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "Another oddity - You guys apparently spoke to Helper on the Lunar Children forums? Yeah, we never did that. I don't know anything about any camera or suitcase. I also don't ever recall a "Regiminis" video being uploaded in our timeline. That's the only other major inconsistency I can think of off the top my head." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "<i>"At this point, how can we help you? Is there a way to contact with your friends? Or José? Or did you leave something for us in case of death in your time travel?"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "Right now we're still waiting for any sort of response from the "Hacker Group". (I'm not sure what else to call them) As for José, what traces of him did you discover on Johnisdead? That might be our only clue."</span> | ||
+ | Itachi Uchiha 4:12 PM: "We just know about <nowiki>https://johnisdead.com/temple/gates/cha ... se/prison/</nowiki>" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:28 PM: "Jesus, rather hard to imagine SKM as being bloodthirsty lmao. Even in the green place our SKM is more chipper than erik- ever. If you guys only ever spoke to Max, what happened to Ben in your timeline? Did he just like, stop existing after Tenebris got out of the mm cartridge?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:28 PM: "Regarding helper, I dont *think* we know the exact outcome of the suitcase and pictobox thing (Unless the current theory about the "5646" video is correct, which I really hope it is as it explains that situation [Though that situation might've already been explained and I just didn't noticed as was the case with the title of that video]). Speaking of which, did 5646 appear in your guys' timeline? And did Tyler claim he was in a coma during the truth arc? Sorry for the rather small questions here, just trying to work out the fine details." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:28 PM: "When it comes to Yugi, we were told that "he" (I'm assuming the orange guy? Not sure though, could be someone like Nocta) took Yugi to a prison, and that he had a message for us. The key to this was apparently "VIOLET", though what we didn't find until a few days later was that "VIOLET" was the key to a cipher on a completely seperate redirect. When we got to that redirect, it read something about activating a "mechanism" of some sort, and we were then led to the unlocked prison cell (Or at least a digital representation of it). However by that point Yugi was already gone, and whoever took him is very adamant that we'll never get him back. Only thing I can think of to help him right now is getting into the "archive" or "contact" page on the LC website, though those may pertain to something completely separate from Yugi." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 9:45 PM: "(Sorry this post is just going to be unformatted questions to answer in the future that I thought of while lying in bed) Do you have any idea of what layers are? The orange thing is apparently going to use someone else as his mask sometime soon (unless he already has) but we don't really know who he'll take (unless it was yugi). Any chance he might again impersonate someone like he did with wolf? And do we know if wolf is even alive somewhere in there?" | ||

+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "That's one that I overlooked. We never saw any videos titled "5646". From what I read, it was a message from John, right?" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "<i>"Only thing I can think of to help him right now is getting into the "archive" or "contact" page on the LC website, though those may pertain to something completely separate from Yugi."</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Looking into the pages myself, it sounds like Yugi had installed some sort of failsafe - something about some scripts he wrote up? Perhaps we'll get more information once those take effect, assuming they're still functional..." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "<i>"(Sorry this post is just going to be unformatted questions to answer in the future that I thought of while lying in bed) Do you have any idea of what layers are? The orange thing is apparently going to use someone else as his mask sometime soon (unless he already has) but we don't really know who he'll take (unless it was yugi). Any chance he might again impersonate someone like he did with wolf? And do we know if wolf is even alive somewhere in there?"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "I believe the only reason this "Pumpkinhead" was able to replicate one of us so well was because he was using a version of Wolf as a mask, essentially imprinting all of Wolf's traits and memories upon himself. If he somehow manages to take someone else as his mask, it's likely we'll have another investigation on our hands. It'd be a headache to say the least. What I don't understand is why your version of Wolf was effected. Normally this would imply that your version of Wolf was the one who was killed and used as a mask, but I don't think that's the case." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Also, I don't think Yugi is going to be used as anyone's mask anytime soon. If this really is Yugi's message, then the one who took him is the "one who killed the other detectives". A possessive, malignant bastard who'd rather rip you to shreds as quickly and bloodily as possible instead of all this sneaky masked fuckery."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "Yeah, 5646 was a message from John. It seemed to be pretty self explanatory at the time of upload but its actual meaning has either been lost to time or is just relevant again in a same-or-not-same way. Tried to connect some dots with it and the situation with the helper picto box and suitcase as there were a lot of similarities, though if this theory is correct the actual date of the footage in 5646 would've been on October 20/21 of 2019 (In the video we see Tyler take a camera out of a suitcase a picture of something, and that picture same picture was uploaded on the 20. And on the 21st, we find a channel called "Quiet Family", which based on the description of the video seems to be run by Max, who as far as we know was on Tyler's necklace). That IIIII guy referenced it a few times and posted it in our #dream channel on discord too which has led to some speculation that it was some sort of dream of the future? We still aren't really sure though." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "When you mention a failsafe, is it like some sort of deadman's switch? Is that what the "mechanism" would've been referring to?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "If wolf *wasn't* killed, any clue what might've happened to him? I mean we got people like our Dawn who have been trapped eternally but we've at least heard from him. Unless Wolf just decided to leave us he's been completely off the grid as far as I can tell." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "Sorry if this is a touchy subject, but who did kill the IDs in your time? I mean I think you mentioned before to some extent how it happened (Thinking it wasn't realy) but we don't really know how it happened or who did it. No worries if this is too hard to relive especially after you already told us about Mason but I thought it was worth asking anyways." | ||

I still don't think we should discuss who it actually was. They are incredibly dangerous and work in strange, memetic ways. I don't want to invoke him like I may have done in the past with the eight of clubs - especially if he's currently active, which Yugi implied he may be."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 7:54 PM: "Pumpkinhead mentioned something about ascending to the "final layer" after reclaiming his mask but like with many things we don't exactly know what that means. From one of the janus pages there's a few gifs of text that seem to be from him (They're orange and correlate with some of the things said in the recent silentdork videos). One of them mentions that he made a deal with the "Dark One" (Can't remember if we've spoken of a dark one before off the top of my head but my closest guess would be Tenebris?) that averted our eyes, using two of our people for a performance that concealed him. I'd assume this is referring to the use of Jos and Circle during the "Pumpkinjack" to trick us but it could be referencing something else entirely or I'm just getting the people mixed up. It then mentions that we will save "Her" (Yuuki possibly?) and free "Him" (Yugi possibly?), after which he will regain his mask and truly ascend. We aren't entirely sure what this means but it makes it out to seem that carrying out our current plans will only lead to his success. Though, this could always be the case of it being an inevitability that we must face in the future." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 7:54 PM: "Patrem mentioned "Authors" a lot when we last spoke to them which is another thing we're unsure of, though I'd assume he's referencing some sort of being above us that dictates what happens in our universe. He claimed the opposite of authors is the "I" which leads me to believe that the "authors" could be represented by layers, possibly being the fifth (IIIII). If Pumpkinhead's goal is to ascend to the "final layer" (Possibly referencing IIIII) then theoretically he might be able to literally rewrite our universe. This is really just an idea and I don't have much proof for it gathered but I thought it would be worth mentioning." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 7:54 PM: "When you say "they are incredibly dangerous and work in strange, memetic ways", would this happen to be in a way similar to the guy who took over Ghostbabel's account a while back?

Heard you're working with some of those new fangled computer wiz's. No clue why this Wolfcat is just a "dream" though I think IA said a few times he doesn't think it was our Wolfcat that's being used as a mask. Going to guess based on the Wolfcat saying that the orange guy made a deal with the "Trickster" followed by orange guys mentioned of dealing with "The Father" (As well as the orange guy saying he had an agreement with the "Dark One" in the SIEGUNSERE video) that he made some sort of deal with Tenebris. Any idea what "His hunger has been sated." means? I guess it could just be Tenebris but I'm guessing it's referring to someone who feeds off of us using Luna's power. And I'm guessing based on the 04/13/2020 that the Wolfcat has somehow escaped, and that the following post is referencing Yuuki? Orange man also mentioned Yuuki somehow meddling in the SIEGUNSERE video which I would presume is referencing this." | ||

The Astral Observatory Forums are the main form of communication used by the members of the Astral Observatory. Though players only first discovered them on October 31st of 2018, an earlier incarnation of them had supposedly existed since July of that same year. These forums hosted countless character interactions for the players, making them a very important location.
Contents
Story
The Astral Observatory was founded sometime in July of 2018. It is implied that along with the creation of Astralobservatory.net, the forums were created around this time as well. While IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and José all joined the site with the intention of putting a stop to Nocta's plans, other users such as Kaiden Zoromichi, Yuukichan, and NotAHoax all flocked to the site naturally with no secondary motivations. The users all seemed to get along well. Kaiden, IsocelesAssassin, and Yuukichan all participated in a roleplay together. There was also supposedly a "Kemono Friends" thread with over 1000 pages.
Nocta later created a board titled "The Truth" on the Astral Observatory Forums. This board was locked and the login information was only given out to users he trusted. For an unspecified amount of time, the password to access this board was "pqbxhtlopa". This board contained a thread detailing the group's history and a link to the Subspace - a secret section of Astralobservatory.net that contained the group's more occult knowledge. Over time, the Astral Observatory Forums were revealed to be more of an indoctrination tool that Nocta uses to gain more members for the Subspace.
On October 21st, Astralobservatory.net went offline, resulting in massive data loss and the corruption of the forums. Nocta blamed this on Johnisdead.com supposedly stealing the site's bandwidth. The players discovered Astralobservatory.net on October 24th. Due to their past involvement with Johnisdead.com, Nocta portrayed the players as if they were potentially responsible for the loss of the forums. On October 31st, the Astral Observatory Forums had been recreated. The players were now able to chat with the other members of the forums. Around this time, Nocta made a post about the players in "The Truth" board. The exact contents of this post are unknown, however.
Players began prying for more information about the Astral Observatory and their connection to the Lunar Children. On November 11th, Moonman reached out to the players in PM's, offering to give them more information in a secure location. This led to the creation of the Safe Haven Discord Server, where players could chat with Moonman in a more controlled environment. On November 13th, Nocta reached out to the player ARGdov, seeing potential in adding him to the group's inner circle.
On November 26th, Nocta discovered that Moonman was a traitor who had been giving the players information. After this, the login information for "The Truth" was changed to "mindconstruct". Moonman was not given this password and he no longer had access to the cult's inner circle. Despite this, Moonman later found his way back into the board - possibly though being given the password by another member or by simply hacking his way back in. Here, he discovered that the players ARGdov and CelestialLight had both been granted access to "The Truth" as well.
At some point in early 2019, Yuukichan was ascended and her spirit was trapped within Astralobservatory.net. Despite this, she was seemingly able to continue using her account as if nothing were wrong - similar to Jeremy Jarvis as seen on the Lunar Children Forums. Over time, however, oddities began cropping up surrounding her account, such as her sending the player Wolfcat a message simply reading "thewoods" repeated over 100 times.
On April 23rd, the Astral Observatory Forums went down - presumably both as a threat from Nocta and due to Yuukichan's spirit slowly corrupting the site. On June 5th, Moonman hacked the forums and gave all of the players moderator access. Here, they discovered that Yuukichan had indeed been ascended earlier in the year. On July 26th, IsocelesAssassin finally returned to the forums after the player Wolfcat submitted the "New Wave Bossa Nova". IsocelesAssassin soon joined the Safe Haven Discord server and began chatting with the players there alongside Moonman.
Over time, the forums slowly corrupted more and more - both because of Yuukichan's presence and due to an influx of "spambots" summoned by Moonman. On August 8th, Nocta announced that Moonman had been banned from the forums. In reality, Moonman had been trapped within the Parallelos within a section of the site's Subspace. IsocelesAssassin's ally, GHOSTBABEL, assisted the players in saving Moonman. This process caused the site to undergo some strange sort of temporal flux, however, resulting in posts from the forum members from different timelines appearing for a brief period of time.
With Moonman saved, the players managed to scare Nocta away from the site, who was likely fearful considering the temporal chaos it had just underwent. This chaos also allowed Pumpkinhead to enter into the Astral Timeline, who then proceeded to pretend to be the player Wolfcat. On April 20th, 2020, IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and the Hacker Group began to enact a plan to get the players into the Subspace and, by extension, Johnisdead.com. This required the use of a Data Bomb. It was then that Pumpkinhead made his move, destroying the Safe Haven Discord server and stealing away the Data Bomb. Fortunately, the Hacker Group was able to send the players a second Data Bomb, which was then posted in "The Truth" by the player ARGdov. This resulted in the site corrupting further, allowing the players to access the Subspace.
On May 12th, players began using the Astral Observatory Forums as their main form of communication once again. On July 3rd, Pumpkinhead attacked once again by locking the players' Ocarina powers within the Astral Observatory Forums. The players were then forced to explore a labyrinth of pages in the Sanctum Hole in order to regain access to the forums. The "Sanctum" hole was finally completed on September 1st, as the players discovered the username was "finalastralbarrier" and the password was "fleetingdream".
On December 21st, IsocelesAssassin and GHOSTBABEL informed the players that they had hatched a new plan to regain communication with the Hacker Group. The players were to scour Johnisdead.com for a transmission code that they would then plug in to a new page on the Astral Observatory Subspace. The players accomplished their mission on December 22nd. On December 23rd, GHOSTBABEL would begin occasionally posting transmissions from the Hacker Group on the Astral Observatory Forums, offering the players to send questions in the form of posts to ask the group.
