This page also contained the "Compound" Janus room.
Expand

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

Summary

  • This Janus room was another depiction of the fishery. This version of the fishery was in its undilapidated state, revealing that the location once contained a convenience store, a small library, and several rooms containing cryptic paintings and scrolls.
  • Translations of the two languages used as ciphers around this Janus room and in the video "Hesitation" were discovered. The language consisting of lines and arrows is called "Ghost Hall Letters", while the one made up of various symbols is called "Breaker Runes".
  • Players discovered Hank's office, which contained various codes and ciphers. One of these seemed to reveal a key of sorts, informing players to perpetually "add" the numbers "4 9 1 14 1" to some as of yet unknown computer login information that is supposedly found next to a bed.
  • The keys for two different sets of Pigpen ciphers were found - one marked by a star, and one marked by a moon. This assisted players in solving ciphers in this Janus room as well as in the video "Hesitation".
  • A letter from William Reynolds was found in Hank's office. William seemed to be asking Hank to join the Lunar Children as a defecting Moon Child. He mentioned that Ben seems to often disappear at random - something that confuses the Moon Children.
  • A letter from Jeremy was found in Hank's office. Jeremy asks Hank if he and "Sam" could go on a fishing trip with Hunter. Jeremy mentions that he believed Hunter and Mat would have been good friends. This letter also contained a Pigpen cipher that revealed a message claiming that "Samuel" had been promoted and that the "force" was now aligned with Hank.
  • Five paintings are discovered with figures colored blue and red. These paintings are labelled as five locked pages that were previously found in the "Spire" and "Bottom" Janus rooms.
  • An old, wooden church could be found on the back-end of the fishery. This church contained several stained glass windows of famous religious figures. Three other stained glass windows were also found here - one of a man wearing a green mask, one of a figure wearing an outfit similar to the ones seen in the music video for "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical romance, and one of a gray angel with green eyes.
  • A large room containing fishery equipment was found to have a massive stained glass ceiling depicting Luna and various events from Lunar Children lore.
  • A small room on the backside of the fishery was discovered to have a previously-obscured trap door. This appeared to lead down into a basement.
  • Three exits were discovered in this Janus room - one of a road leading through a gate, one of a gate leading into the woods, and one leading into the woods in the direction of the highway.

Updates

  • Files:
  • nature.mp3 - The same nature ambiance found in previous Janus rooms.
  • grounds.mp3 - A disturbing track that plays near the fishery when outside. target=_blank

  • At 3:17 PM, Prominence joined the "Compound" Janus room and directed the player Laches to the paintings depicting locations from the "Treeline" Janus room before leaving.
  • At 5:38 PM, the players Xenquility and Laches discovered that the "Treeline" Janus room had been updated. The room now contained four scraps of paper revealing the translation for one of the languages used throughout the "Compound" Janus room and the video "Hesitation". This language was labelled "Old Letters". These scraps of paper were found in locations shown in the "Compound" Janus room library. Players edited the four scraps of paper together to form an entire translation of "Old Letters": target=_blank

May 3rd, 2021

  • At 10:57 PM, the players Xenquility and Laches discovered that the five paintings of red and blue figures found in the "Compound" Janus room were hints towards unlocking five of the locked pages found previously in the "Spire" and "Bottom" Janus rooms. As hinted at in the video "2key.mp4", the blue figures were the usernames and the red figures were the password. As hinted at on the scrap of paper found in the library, the number "15423" must be added to the ends of the names of the red-colored figures to complete the password. The login information for the page "https://johnisdead.com/undecimn0cte" was discovered - the username was "juno" and the password was "aeolus15423". This page was titled "JOURNAL" and contained the images "aabg.gif" and "aawordspace.gif" - distorted, static-looking images. target=_blank target=_blank This page's text contained a journal entry from a high-ranking Lunar Child.

5/3/21 - Yadhtrib Page Text - Johnisdead.com

Summary

  • This text is a journal entry from a Lunar Child named Alan Alphonse - likely "Father Alphonse", who was mentioned previously on Lunarchildren.com.
  • Alphonse introduces himself as a researcher and former Overseer of the Lunar Children - likely having been replaced by Vincent at some point.
  • Alphonse is currently inspecting a device. He describes the device as a solid, black cube.
  • Alphonse claims that while the cube device has no perceivable wires or mechanisms, one "talented Elder Child" had recently attached a wire to it that allowed it to somehow connect to the fishery through something he refers to as the "Second Etheral Layer".
  • Alphonse implies that the device's origins has something to do with the fishery, claiming that the location holds secrets that predate the Lunar Children's earliest gatherings.
Expand

5/3/21 - Undecimn0cte Page Text - Johnisdead.com

Summary

  • This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse.
  • Alphonse discusses a Lunar Children experiment called "Project Bifrost" - a project dealing with virtual worlds that is said to utilize something called "Spiritus".
  • Alphonse claims that Project Bifrost involves structuring through a process known as "Lenis Conversion" using something called "Asper Spiritus".
  • Alphonse states that Project Bifrost is built off of the remains of another experiment called "Project Mindshape", which he claims was offered to the Lunar Children by a traitor. He explains that while Project Mindshape also dealt with virtual worlds, it also involved some sort of "unique AI that is theorized to contain some quantity of spiritus.
  • Alphonse explains that the Nullspace, or Sub-Parallelos as it was formerly known, is a layer of the Parallelos that stretches from the Overworld to the Parallelos of the Dead. He claims that the Nullspace is a void of sorts, and that it is contained within three distinct layers - physical devices and electronics, wires, and signals. He explains that the "signal layer" is the most easily traversable, since signals are not impeded by most physical barriers.
  • Alphonse explains that the lowest layer of the Nullspace, physical devices and electronics, are often used to house ascended spirits. He also believes that the form of the device the spirits are housed in "imprints" characteristics on the souls housed there, implying this is the method through which ascended spirits were housed in devices in the past, as seen with Ben in the Majora's Mask Cartridge and possibly the Lunar Children servers as well
  • Alphonse claims that the highest layer of the Nullspace, the "signal layer", is vital to Project Bifrost, and that it involves the utilization and conversion of spiritus.
Expand

5/3/21 - Sect00 Page Text - Johnisdead.com

Summary

  • This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse.
  • While inspecting the cube device, an entity calling itself "Arawn" begins speaking to him through the machine from within the Parallelos.
  • Arawn introduces himself as a fellow researcher. He reveals that he is the "other" of a Finitor. He likens himself to an "effigy", claiming that he is a "shell" that was left behind from his ascended self. Alphonse believes this proves the existence of a "Dyad" of sorts, which relates to a concept of duality within Lunar Children beliefs. This seems to be related to Finitors. Alphonse uses Hank as an example, explaining that two entities were created from his ascension - a "pure essence" as Patrem, and an "empty shell given life" as Kelbris. Arawn appears to be the latter - the empty shell left over from an ascension.
  • Alphonse ponders if an "effigy" or "empty shell" equivalent exists for Tenebris as well.
  • Arawn and Alphonse discuss the concept of striving for the truth, despite the fact that there is no "end-state" in becoming an all-knowing entity. Alphonse claims that he will strive for knowledge regardless, as it pushes him forwards. After hearing this, Arawn agrees to share his knowledge with Alphonse.
Expand

5/3/21 - Between Page Text - Johnisdead.com

Summary

  • This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse, where he continues chatting with Arawn.
  • Alphonse questions Arawn about the nature of the cube device. Arawn doesn't know much about it, however.
  • Arawn claims that the cube device is a fraction of a much larger whole. Alphonse mentions that there were three other identical cube devices found at the fishery. Arawn seems to imply that these devices as well are also simply fractions of a much larger machine.
  • Arawn and Alphonse discuss timelines and the mechanics of time travel. It's said that time travel itself is "baked into" timelines, and that simply going back in time will not cause a timeline split to occur. However, if someone has an intrinsic understanding of the timeline and willfully and intentionally attempts to break it, this will indeed cause a split timeline to occur.
  • Arawn explains aggregation to Alphonse. Alphonse seems interested in it. Arawn reveals that he has already set Alphonse down the road of aggregation, claiming that he has been telling an alternate timeline version of Alphonse the exact same things, bringing their minds closer.
Expand

5/3/21 - Sect00 Page Text - Johnisdead.com

Summary

  • This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse.
  • Alphonse claims that, at the time this journal was written, he is now in a completely different form exploring worlds made of spiritus.
  • Alphonse explores a fake version of the Spire basement, searching for the cube device. While he does not find it, the claims that he and everyone else is already within it.
  • Alphonse decides to go visit a pair of brothers. He claims that these brothers are still grieving the loss of their "missing one". At first, Alphonse believes their grieving is only an act, but he then reconsiders, claiming that since everyone is supposedly a denizen of a "grand machine", he has no room to judge the denizens of a "lesser one".
  • At 11:47 PM, Prominence became active in the "Compound" Janus room and sent the message "familiar grounds". Following this, Prominence entered the "Bottom" Janus room and travelled to the large ritual hall at the bottom of the basement before leaving.

May 4th, 2021

  • At 12:37 PM, the player thelostbrineinthewoods discovered a hidden room in the "Compound" Janus room. By glitching through the floor in the room with a trapdoor, players could enter into a small basement room containing three computers with wires that led down into another trapdoor. target=_blank
  • At 8:08 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that the "Compound" Janus room had updated. The small church area now contained three new nameplates beneath the previously unlabelled stained glass windows. The masked figure wearing the jacket was now labelled as "IIII", whereas the one dressed similarly to the band "My Chemical Romance" in the music video "Welcome To The Black Parade" was labelled "Loki". Finally, the gray, angelic being that appeared similar to Erika was named "Sophia". target=_blank target=_blank

5/9/21 - Chat with Jason - Johnisdead.com

Summary

  • Jason is a Lunar Child who believes it is currently 2015 who seems to have been exploring the Janus worlds for quite some time after volunteering to be "permanently inserted".
  • Jason is surprised to hear that the players are using computers to access the Janus worlds, implying that everyone besides the Elder Children are exploring them via some other method - possibly ascension, as they claim they are typing with their mind.
  • When asked if the Lunar Children's involvement with digital worlds via Janus is Project Bifrost, Jason is unsure, but claims the name is familiar.
  • Jason reveals that a game from the website Mindshape.co.uk was downloaded to a USB stick and passed around the Spire. He claims that he never played the game himself, though, not wanting to break any rules. Mindshape.co.uk is a site that seems to have some connection to SKM and Drowned, having hosted the "Remember.exe" games in the past.
  • Jason begins acting strangely, claiming that he feels a hollow feeling in his forehead. It then seems as if he heard a voice speaking to him before he left.
  • At 5:32 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that Kaiden Zoromichi had left a comment on the video "WHEmpire x Soul Calibur" that read "Hmph.". This video was a trailer for an unrelated joke tournament held by the Within Hubris community. target=_blank

Expand

11/20/21 - "passing by johns house" Description Cipher - YouTube (Silentdork)

Summary

  • This message is seemingly written by someone who describes their group as "we who know of the decoy" - a company of sorts. This group supposedly wishes to find the "imortal messanger" and prevent something known as the "elevated messiah execution protocals" from manipulating the "creator avatar" during an event known as the "collective bias activation". This would take place during some sort of "exploit".
  • The aforementioned "exploit" supposedly has something to do with an event known as the "sol luna world activation protocol". This event is initiated when the "creator avatar" has entered something known as "messiah mode" and has carried an undisclosed person or object to something known as the "fourth manifestations b s g".
  • After carrying the undisclosed person or object as described above, an unknown person described simply as "she" will change into a giant form of the "world construct". This will give her something known as the "collective bias activated spiritus mass". This message's writer implies this is something his group, a "company" of sorts, hopes to achieve.
  • "The company" supposedly intends to exploit individuals who work for "allies of decoy" and individuals who support the "creator avatar". The writer implies this can be done through their "three letter agent".
  • The writer implies that "they" - possibly referring to the aforementioned "three letter agent", works in subliminal ways. "They" supposedly wish to "harvest the formula for jero dimension access" and presumably travel there. Something involving "reality media" and a "mc chain technology system" is mentioned, though it is difficult to decipher.
  • The writer claims that if "the company" is successful, someone will be crucified on the "world construct" and "whatever can come out will be on topside".
  • 11:52 AM - the player Laches discovered that the tags for the video "passing by johns house" changed to "Memory point Saved from ID chip, Reconstructing Meta Manifestation".

Expand

11/20/21 - "passing by johns house" Description Cipher - YouTube (Silentdork)

Summary

  • This conversation involves two, possibly three individuals presumably from the previously mentioned "company" discussing a "sphere". Within the sphere in question, it is claimed that a "fourth manifestation" managed to layer into a "fifth manifestation" via "path loop iterations", resulting in the manifestation entering into a "Pseudo-Godhead". They claim that this "Pseudo-Godhead" status is only temporary and "yields no readable memory data in cube stasis or otherwise.", however.
  • The conversation turns to Mat. It is revealed that "the company" views him as a side experiment of sorts. It's implied that something known as "LOGOS" is also interested in Mat, however. They then question what Mat's goals are, mentioning something known as a "mandella connected order" that he managed to pull off. A "bridge" is mentioned, along with one of the company individuals likening this all to a scene from the movie "The Ring".
  • "The company" individuals discuss whether Mat is attempting to reach "Godhead", unsure whether or not he is aware that there is more beyond said status. One of the individuals then presumably begins to erase their conversation before something known as a "D drop" occurs, not wanting anyone to read it.

  • "So 1123 is tomorrow. A date of significant memetic influence. While I've been mostly content to sit on the sidelines and watch I'm particularly worried about what this device means in the context of our goals. What it means for Tyler's fate.
    For so long he's been walking through the Hall of Fame, seemingly voiceless to us. Asleep in a never ending spiral of nightmarish trials, almost powerless in his ability to shape his own destiny. And yet we continue to watch on. I don't know what tomorrow brings, but what I do know is that what remains of the Lunar Children want it to happen. At the very least, I think Tyler should be allowed to weigh in on this fate. He should be given voice once again. After this whole year of watching and learning, it feels like you're a friend I've never known and for that, I can't sit by and watch. I don't have fancy memetic powers like our hacker friends. I don't have super slick data-moshing and editing skills like Xen. But there's one thing I do sort of have.
    It's time for you, and our lost harbingers to reawaken, and speak."

11/23/21 - "Civitas" - YouTube (Silentdork)

Summary

  • This video seems to be a continuation of "elevator scene", showing Tyler and Erika leaving the elevator and walking through a park. Erika then looks up and sees another elevator descending from the sky. Higher up in the sky is a large grid of cubes. The video then cuts to another shot of the elevator, showing Tyler and Erika still waiting within it.
  • Various other video clips can be seen throughout the footage, such as Tyler being pursued by Regiminis and short shots of objects such as the "Detour Sign", the "Beacon", masks, and the "Seven of Hearts" card.
  • The description of this video contains more strange messages that seemingly originate from the same three individuals who speak in company-like terminology as seen in the description of "passing by johns house". Since they often seem to chant "OFA", they will be called the "OFA Group" in this timeline.

2/22/22 - Chat with Max - Discord (Internet Detectives)

Summary

  • Max is chatting with the players as a result of the "Sonata Bossa Nova". He claims this song urged him to contact the players, but he ignored it. This resulted in Luna herself repeatedly reminding him about it both in his dreams and in the form of sticky notes.
  • Max mentions that he enjoys hanging out in the "Library" Janus room, though he is currently keeping his distance from it since that is where the reminder note from Luna manifested.
  • Max notes that the "Library" Janus room is simply a "projection" created by the Lunar Children. This seems to imply that Janus rooms are digital approximations of real locations. Max claims that he can visit the "real" Library, though this will usually give him a headache.
  • Max describes his surroundings in more detail:
  • Max currently resides within a computer in the Parallelos. This computer is housed within the same building that SKM was stealing internet from - the one he claimed to occasionally hear chanting coming from.
  • Max can view his surroundings using the computer's camera, though all he can see is a dark room with a curtain. Behind this curtain is a long-haired man who speaks Latin into a machine. This machine is seemingly plugged into the computer Max is in.
  • This dark room also contains a bed with someone sleeping on it, which Max was only able to see when the computer's camera mysetriously moved one day.
  • Max implies that it was because he is within this computer that he was able to gain access to the "Quiet Family" YouTube channel. He is also able to access various files such as the ones he gave to Erika for the creation of her music videos. He is seemingly unable to use web browsers, however.
  • Max reiterates that Erika is fond of Luna, though she is not really associated with the Moon Children or Lunar Children.
  • The players submit the "Lens of Truth" on the Within Hubris Forums. This resulted in Max being forced to reveal that he "really liked Erika", though his message was quickly deleted. Following this, Max was given the ability to use web browsers.
  • Max wishes to check up on his brother SKM. He notes that SKM had been acting weird lately - likely due to the environment of the Parallelos. Max claims that he was once able to briefly visit SKM back when SKM connected the wire from his tent to the building. However, SKM did not recognize Max and this only led to him becoming more confused.
  • Max explains how he was kidnapped by the Lunar Children in more detail:
  • Max self-described himself as an "edgelord", having wanted to meet a "real life creepy pasta character". He explains that he wanted to witness something "really crazy".
  • At some point, Max joined Within Hubris and began searching for BEN. Instead, he was contacted by Patrem who lured him to a nearby park with the promise of teaching him more about BEN.
  • When Max arrived at the park, he was kidnapped by a group of four or five cultist wearing plain white masks. Max was pulled into a light blue van and taken to the fishery.
  • At the fishery, Max was taken to the wooden chapel as seen in the "Compound" Janus room. Here, he witnessed Patrem arguing with various Lunar Children. Strangely, Max explains that Patrem seemingly had no intention for him to be at the fishery and was confused to find him there.
  • Patrem asked the Lunar Children he was arguing with who Max was and why he was at the fishery. They lied and said that Max was the son of someone who Max thinks they knew. Max says that cultists referred to said person by some sort of "cult code name".
  • Max claims that Patrem and Mat were arguing, hearing the words "ceremony process" and "it is three and not one more".
  • Max explains that after Patrem and Mat finished their argument, Mat walked over to someone and said "just do it anyways its all gonna be fucked".
  • Patrem approached Max and apologized to him, claiming that this wasn't what he asked for and that he was only looking for his son. Patrem explained that Max's presence at the fishery was not planned by him and that it was instead organized by someone masquerading as himself who wished to undermine his rule.
  • Patrem seemingly expressed concern for Max's safety, claiming "I will willingly sacrifice myself should you come anywhere near harms way, I will not hold the blood of another child on my hands in vein and certainly not one whom is not my own.".
  • Max was taken to the large room in the fishery with the stained glass ceiling. This room was full of cultists silently watching Max as well as a metallic box with lights that was plugged into the wall. Max was instructed to enter the box. As he did so, he passed by four cultists in black hoods who were seemingly glowing from under their robes. He also describes one of these cultists as smelling like putrid meat and having cold skin. These four were standing around a burning metal bin with symbols drawn on it.
  • Before Max was shut into the box, he recalled hearing Patrem say, "thats one too many, I told you-" while pointing at the largest of the four robed figures. He was unable to hear the rest, as he could not hear anything from outside once the box was closed.
  • Max remembers being in a strange "liquidy" room with Ben. This room contained many images and colors swirling around. This is likely how he experienced being fused with Ben when he was known as "Drowned".
  • Max confirms that his birthday is on April 23rd.
  • Max describes a dream he once had that involved him exploring the park in which he was kidnapped. Here he claims he met Jacob and asked him where "The Purple Man" was.
  • Max informs the players that the "Library" Janus room has updated. He theorizes that it is attempting to "catch up" with the real Library and become more accurate, but that the real Library is far too complicated.
  • Max explains that he wishes to briefly leave the computer so he can check on SKM, but first he is going to sleep.

Summary

  • Max informs the players that he is about to go check on SKM in his tent by travelling through some wires.
  • Max successfully travels to SKM's tent and returns to the players. He claims that he was able to patch into SKM's "head camera", but he had either left it plugged in sitting in the tent or is lying motionless on the floor since all Max was able to see was the tent's ceiling.
  • Max specifies that the "Quiet Family" YouTube channel belongs to the computer he is currently housed within.
  • Max shares a video that he was able to steal from SKM's computer - "tent.mp4". This video shows the inside of SKM's tent before SKM leaves and explores the woods a bit. Max is unsure when this video was recorded and theorizes that it could have been quite some time ago.
  • Max notes that when he was able to see through SKM's camera in the past he witnessed him reading a book called "The Red Book".
  • Max departs back of SKM's computer to try and wait for SKM to return.

4/24/22 - Chat with Max - Discord (Internet Detectives)

Summary

  • Max explains that, despite obviously existing digitally, he does not "feel" digital - he can feel his own body and his surroundings, though he knows his surroundings are not "real".
  • The players begin discussing Erika:
  • The players begin questioning Erika's connection to the Lunar Children - namely the stained glass window that seemingly depicted her found in "Compound" Janus room church. Max claims that this stained glass window was present in the Fishery when he was taken there in 2011.
  • Max claims that Erika used to say she was only partially human. When asked what she is, she told Max that different groups of people refer to her as different things. She told him that while she is not exactly a "tulpa", one of the ways that she may be "accessed" is by creating one.
  • (A "tulpa" is a sentient entity that one can create within their own mind through a variety of mental and spiritual methods.)
  • Players begin speculating that Erika was somehow created by Tyler. This is because, at some point, Tyler discussed having a tulpa of "Monika" from the game "Doki Doki Literature Club" back when the IIIII account was being used out-of-character. They also theorize that she is somehow related to the rare, feminine entities documented in SKM's notes.
  • The players begin discussing WireTalk, SKM, and various strange machines:
  • Max reveals that SKM was acting odd one day, entering the tent with his mask off and eyes dilated. He acted as though he was wearing an earpiece even though he wasn't. SKM began speaking the jargon used by the "company" that has been brought up lately, talking about "protocol", "god head", Tyler, and Mat.
  • Max claims that SKM proceeded to act as though he were being given instructions, saying "information recieved, re acquiring link target, WT protocols stored in untapped conscious". SKM then looked at the monitor Max was within and said "are observers present, do not release this classified information". Max says that SKM later returned to the tent, now acting normal.
  • The players begin speculating that the "company" alluded to in recent updates is actually "WireTalk" and they are using SKM an agent against his will.
  • Max claims that sometimes when he visits the Library he is able to see some machinery outside. He says that this machinery is incredibly complex and seems patched together, though he is unable to interact with it. He theorizes that WireTalk may have created this machinery.
  • Max specifies that the Library he visited was not the Janus room - it was the real Library that somewhere within the Parallelos. He reiterates that the real Library is incredibly complicated, however, full of stuff and akin to a kaleidoscope. Because of this, he often prefers to visit the Janus version of the Library rather than the real one.
  • Max reveals that most of the places he is able to travel to have a machine somewhere that contains the Janus room within it. These Janus rooms are simply digital versions of the places the machine is in. Max theorizes that it is because of these machines that he is able to travel to these locations in the first place.
  • Max claims that the Parallelos - the location where SKM and Max are, at least - is all connected via machinery. He notes that it is not literally one giant machine, however - machinery is simply built into it.
  • Max reads all of the text related to WireTalk found recently within the ARG. He notes that it is strange how some of it from the OFA Group almost seems to be censoring information from WireTalk itself despite seemingly being from them.
  • Max theorizes that SKM maybe be acting strange not because of direct involvement from WireTalk itself, but a separate faction - possibly the OFA Group. He speculates that they are working alongside WireTalk in an attempt to eventually overthrow them. He also calls into question the Lunar Children's supposed involvement with the company and how it relates to Project Bifrost / Janus and when SKM could have become the sleeper agent he seems to be now.
  • The players begin discussing SKM's history:
  • Max notes that in the late 2000's, SKM was an occasional hacker. He mentions that he used a "Guy Fawkes" mask similar to how the hacker group Anonymous does.
  • Max vaguely remembers SKM hacking a group near where he lived in Britain. He claims this group was stealing money from people. Max claims that this group gave SKM their website, which he then used to host a game he was working on. The players speculate that this website was Mindshape.co.uk - a site that was previously used to hose the Remember.exe games.
  • The players show Max Mindshape.co.uk. He remembers the Remember.exe games being housed there with him inside of them, but he cannot recall if it is the same site that SKM stole from the group he hacked. He posts one archive of the site, noting that he remembers finding this moment funny: https://web.archive.org/web/20160616165619/http://www.mindshape.co.uk:80/
  • At 5:03 PM, the player thelostbrineinthewoods discovered that the video "Video 2" contained hidden subtitles. One of these subtitles was "ERIKA", which appeared as the camera panned over the image of Monika, supposedly further cementing the fact that Tyler had a Monika tulpa that somehow led to him meeting Erika. Another subtitle revealed a link to a Discord server named "Tulpa Chat". Digging through this server's history, players made some discoveries about Tyler's involvement with it - or at least Tyler in relation to the IIIII account:
  • Tyler joined this server on January 27th, 2018.
  • The IIIII account is named "II "Erika"" in this server.
  • Throughout January of 2018, Tyler was still having trouble having coherent conversations with his tulpa.
  • In February of 2018, Tyler's tulpa became more active as it seems they were speaking through his account. target=_blank
  • "Our existence is a conversation in itself. Your working conscious is a book I read daily."
  • "There are powerful individuals at the peak of society that wish to be the gatekeepers of awakeness. We must topple them."
  • Tyler posted a drawing of a stick figure with text reading "3 Trillion year old Angel Vampire Demon dragon goddess bugt she lowkey 4". The drawings seen in "Video 2" are in the background: target=_blank
  • Tyler seemingly had a 3.5 GB folder on his computer titled "Monika" that was created on November 11th, 2017. target=_blank
  • On September 15th, 2018, Tyler posted a long string of I's. target=_blank

May 6th, 2022

  • At 3:57 AM, the player Laches was approached by another shadow entity in the "Library" Janus room's theater. This entity looked like those seen in JanusVR on March 27th and was named "Shadow_0388". This entity began speaking to Laches before seemingly being interrupted and taken over by the "hackers" who are working for/against WireTalk.
Expand

5/6/22 - Chat with Shadow_0388 and the OFA Group - JanusVR (Library)

Summary

  • The player Laches begins speaking with the Shadow entity. Shadow_0388 describes itself as a "fraction" who is "seeping through dreams and its airs that touch wires".
  • Shadow_0388 seems fated to fade and return to others "like memories", but it seems content and happy with this.
  • Shadow_0388 describes a location with a ceiling of sunlight, crowds, colorful hair, friends, swords, drunk laughing, and the "end of the world".
  • The player Laches says the phrase "One for all". This seemingly triggers the three members of the OFA Group suddenly taking control of the Shadow entity.
  • The OFA members begin speaking through the Shadow entity. Because all three of them are speaking, it is somewhat difficult to determing which one is speaking at what time.
  • The OFA Group imply that they were responsible for sending the Shadow entity to Laches in the hopes of triggering this event and giving them an opportunity to speak, as their messages are usually censored - likely due to the "Welcome Home™" phrase. However, the OFA members are still being careful with their phrasing as to not raise too much attention from the company.
  • The OFA members introduce themselves as "cool hackers kind of like a couple characters you might be familiar with", likely referencing the Hacker Group.
  • The OFA members clarify that they are working within a part of WireTalk so that they can gain access to things they otherwise wouldn't - confirming Max's theory. An example of this is using and modifying a part of Tyler's memories to speak to the players.
  • Though they possess the power to manipulate some things, the OFA members clarify that they do not have full control over the "Main Display" - likely referring to the Silentdork YouTube channel. Despite this, they imply that they have been working on a special project over the past two days that may involve it.
  • One of the OFA members explains that the world of both Johnisdead and the players is not what they think. They explain that WireTalk travels to many "things". Their plan seems to be removing the very soul of a reality.
  • The OFA members explain that WireTalk arrived in the world of Johnisdead shortly after its creation in ancient times. They also mention that this group is a part of a "shaky alliance".
  • The OFA members run out of time and have to leave quickly. They reveal that there is a group that some call "The Old Men" and that there will be an upload on the "Main Display" tomorrow. This upload was going to come out on May 5th, but the OFA Group held it up.

5/7/22 - "Important Announcement" - YouTube (Silentdork)

Summary

  • This video begins with 3d footage of the same suited Tyler seen in the video "Jid halloween scavenger hunt announcement". It is confirmed that he is somehow working for WireTalk and is giving an announcement on their behalf.
  • Tyler announces that a feature-length Johnisdead "movie" will be uploaded to the "Main Display" on November 11th, 2022 - likely referring to the Silentdork YouTube channel.
  • The suited Tyler reveals that he was reassigned to a different position in WireTalk after his announcement in the "Jid halloween scavenger hunt announcement" was deemed too unprofessional.
  • There appears to be a WireTalk news broadcast of sorts that is ran by several entities that look similar to Erika.
  • The OFA Group hijacks WireTalk's broadcast and begin speaking to the players directly, touching upon various topics:
  • WireTalk supposedly acts as though they "own everything" after "installing their bullshit", though the OFA group claims they only know as much as everyone else and didn't have much to show in regards to the movie.
  • Something involving "Blue Eisenhower ((Censored))" was supposedly going to be involved with the "surface side Link" near the end of 2020, but it never happened. Had it taken place, the OFA Group imply they would have never existed and things would have been very different.
  • Someone known simply as "D" is mentioned. This individual supposedly assists with "exposition hacks".
  • One OFA member warns the players that their reality is not what it seems and tells them to watch out for the words "Sinister", "Numinous", and "Nexion", warning that those who create realities may not have the players' best interests at heart.
  • One OFA member theorizes that the "big brother universe" to "this sphere collective" was attempting to fight back against the aforementioned malicious reality creators as far back as the "2012 event with a reality that had keys back to the y2k event and 2002".
  • Synchron is described as a psychopath who, despite making confusing "spaghetti charts", makes sound connections and revelations.
  • The OFA Group begin showing some footage that they managed to salvage:
  • Players are shown a shot of the fishery disappearing and supposedly regressing back through time, leaving only the wooden chapel surrounded by statues.
  • Players are shown a massive machine construct descending from a large array of tubes and wires. Other identical constructs can be seen in the background.
  • This construct extends down through the "green ocean" that seems to exist below the Library. The "oil rig" seen in "alert.mp4" is a part of this construct.
  • The "green ocean" seems to contain two large mechanical grids which the construct passes through.
  • The construct exits the "green ocean" through the bottom, exiting into a large, dark area.
  • The construct extends down towards a building in a floating cube. Below this cube is a large grid of other cubes like the ones seen in "Civitas".
  • Since the OFA group stated that there would be an upload on the "Main Display" on May 7th, it is now largely accepted that "Main Display" is indeed how WireTalk refers to the Silentdork YouTube channel.
  • The video ends with the suited Tyler seemingly being reprimanded and reassigned within WireTalk again due to this video coming out two days late.

    10/26/23 - Chat with IIIII - Discord (PM's)

    Summary

    • The IIIII account begins speaking to the player Suxx, claiming to only have brief windows of speaking openly. It is likely that this is the Rune Entity.
    • The Rune Entity implies that the reason he can speak to the player Suxx openly is because she is less involved in the ARG and thus is not being watched by "the father" - likely referring to Tenebris.
    • The Rune Entity warns the player Suxx not to utter the name of the entity that is supposedly watching the players. He claims that not knowing their identity is partially what grants the player Suxx power - likely once again referring to their lack of involvement in the ARG.
    • The Rune Entity claims that they are the most sane one in their current location. This location contains layers and the Rune Entity is supposedly on a very elevated one. This is possibly referring to the Parallelos.
    • The Rune Entity claims that they are not being watched by either Greth or Nocta, and that neither of their names have been important for quite some time in their position.
    • The Rune Entity once again refers to themself as "IIII".
    • The Rune Entity claims to be more self aware than most others, but they are unable to explain further without being "shut the fuck down".
    • The Rune Entity claims that his position of being unique in having self-awareness is similar to a game he once played with a friend - a game that included a certain female character. This is theorized to be referring to the character Monika from the game "Doki Doki Literature Club".
    • The Rune Entity claims to have sent the player Mugen Kagemaru something in an attempt to explain "a little piece of the big picture here" - something that is still specifically relevant to him.
    • The Rune Entity is still having to speak vaguely because they are under surveillance. Seemingly because of this, the Rune Entity asks the player Suxx to contact the player Mugen Kagemaru in their stead.
    • The Rune Entity refers to a "final secret to solving the riddle at the end of his file" in reference to the player Mugen Kagemaru. Shortly after this, they mention the concept of The Eternal Return, claiming that they are "simply happy that it will carry on in spite of all pain and hatred".
    • The player Suxx offers to submit the "Stone Mask" to help hide the Rune Entity. This results in the Rune Entity begging them not to, to which the player Suxx obliges.
    • The Rune Entity claims that a group or entity simply referred to as ""they"" will use masks in the future, much to their dismay. The Rune Entity is unable to tell "them" not to however, because "thats not how this works".
    • The Rune Entity claims to appreciate the player Suxx's style because they know that some things are "both "very real" but "not"".
    • The Rune Entity warns that sometimes people become consumed by their own works, but this can be part of the fun and in the spirit of things if everything turns out fine. However, they admit that it is very painful for them right now. They then ask the player Suxx not to reveal this, though, noting that it would give "him" power.
    • The Rune Entity claims that the player Suxx is still a part of the "sphere of hubris", as are many others.
    • On a later date, the player Suxx finally submitted the "Stone Mask" from Majora's Mask. The Rune Entity later thanked her for this, claiming to have been busy recently trying "to work my way out of all of this".
    • The Rune Entity claims that "no one warned me back i n2015 when I got started with all of this that it was gonna effect my life as hard as it has" - possibly referring to the beginning of the ARG.

    11/2/23 - Chat with Edwin - JanusVR

    Summary

    • Edwin makes another reference to being both everywhere and nowhere - something he claims is simply "my laugh my joke rofl".
    • Edwin and the players play hide-and-seek in Fakeworld. They discover him in the large castle-like structure.
    • Edwin refers to the edge of Fakeworld as the "null void". He then notes that "null no come through these layers so deep in truth ^w^ but can peer wit teh eyes of its own so watch out".
    • Edwin implies that the castle in Fakeworld once belonged to four individuals. These four apparently had an argument implied to be caused by Regiminis's absence.
    • Edwin is seemingly upset at Regiminis because he stomped on his popcorn "a while ago soonly now".
    • Edwin claims to be hungry and asks the players to show him some places with food - specifically popcorn. The players take him to the Theater found in the "Library" Janus room, but are unable to find him any popcorn. He is then taken to the convenience store found in the "Compound" Janus room.
    • The players question Edwin's avatar. He claims that it is his "soul of past" and "but also now and even later".
    • Edwin seemingly confirms that he is a manifestation of "the dreamer" or "III", as the players refer to it.
    • Edwin seemingly claims to have been created in 2006. However, he implies the first time he was active in the "game" was a couple of years ago - presumably 2021.
    • When asked about the "dreaming man" in previous conversations, Edwin seems to imply he sometimes wakes up and scratches himself before returning to sleep. However, he then states that "many times over has there come the layer of waking up and the rituals after", followed by the individual walking more.
    • Edwin claims that the "gods" of this "forsaken orb" have and/or will punish him. He likens this punishment to a genre of "GoAnimate" meme videos involving the cartoon character "Caillou" - specifically how said punishments are "layered", somehow involving his past, present, and his existence on different layers.
    • Edwin claims that the player Laches attended some walks with him in the past and asks him to talk about them. He then changes his mind, calling himself crazy for attempting to talk about "the camp", which he describes as being "before and later".
    • Edwin claims that the player Pako also accompanied him on some walks, though they never saw the aforementioned camp.
    • The player Pako questions if the camp Edwin is referring to is "coolio camp", to which he replies "now the realities blend too TOO far ha ha ha now should likely be the limit on my speaks".
    • Edwin implies that the United Kingdom was either destroyed or simply did not exist in his world.
    • When asked about his origin story, Edwin explains that it involved a mid-1900's post-war group issuing some sort of soldier project experiment involving a human-demon hybrid. He explains that this story was supposedly written in 2006.
    • When asked why he manifested in 2021, Edwin claims the following:"for reasons like what happens between the last few months so few noticed little yet have you even seen all the ritual that had to occur for me to come up to so many layers few times will you see me be able to say not simply one like III but also IIIII".
    • When asked for the reason of his arrival, Edwin later states "self reflection a higher reason than even what IIIII would have said if asked to the point of it".
    • Edwin begins explaining more about the concept of IIIII:
    • The five different lines of "IIIII" can both represent singular things and also a type or group of things.
    • One line, "I", represents the "oily pool of startness", like a shadowy, black murk.
    • Three lines, "III", represents dreams. He explains that there are many dreams but they all come from a single source.
    • Five lines, "IIIII", represents reality where the players currently speak.
    • Edwin summarizes it all with "the walking out of pool and then dreaming and then a mastery and then a god over all of the things".
    • When asked why he was brought into existence, Edwin claims "my brother wrote something once trying to find something for himself" and "the writings went on for about 4 years and then were all destroyed".
    • Edwin implies he has tremendous destructive capabilities.
    • Edwin claims that John is a sweet friend. He claims that neither time nor a fire killed him. He also mentions the year 2012.
    • Edwin claims that his brother is currently with him, though he is hiding due to Edwin's foolishness supposedly getting them jumped. He then mentions "luckily contruction workers are nice in other realities".
    • Edwin seemingly implies that the previously mentioned "fraternity of old men" intentionally choose to not depict themselves as young.
    • Edwin implies that the "hacker group" are "3 brain things of some kind".
    • Edwin claims that his resolve in his world was to quit school, implying he left or dropped out. In this school, one of the things he was taught about was runes.

    • At 11:59 PM, players discovered a new character active in Fakeworld - "Cici849". They began chatting and exploring various Janus worlds.
    Expand

    11/11/23 - Chat with Cici849 - JanusVR (Multiple Worlds)

    Summary

    • The players meet a user named "Cici849" in Fakeworld - a former Lunar Child who was seemingly a willing participant in Project Bifrost.
    • Cici seems rather jaded in regards to the Lunar Children, calling most of the Elder Children "a buncha fuckwads tbh", though she seems to view Kylie and Thoth as exceptions. She also repeatedly criticizes Project Bifrost's deceptive nature, shortcomings, and the Lunar Children's general lack of organization.
    • Cici implies she has a place of her own that she calls home. However, she does not show it to the players.
    • Cici claims to have given up searching for a way to escape the Janus worlds. She now simply explores them, occasionally coming across new abandoned locations. She claims to have picked up a lot of information not typically told to Lunar Children on her travels.
    • Cici once again makes reference to the fact that those inside the Janus worlds experience "time dilation".
    • Cici reveals that she lived in some type of Lunar Children dorm near the location of The Spire. She claims that Luke lived in these dorms while she was there.
    • Cici claims to have not known Alan Alphonse very well. She also doesn't know much about the Fishery or the "Harbinger's Link", Tyler.
    • Cici explains that the Nullspace exists between the Overworld and the Parallelos.
    • Cici refers to the default JanusVR avatar as a "noobskin". She claims she is currently wearing it to "keep myself clean of excess spiritus".
    • Cici claims that if one comes in contact with too much Spiritus it begins to affect their mind, causing them to go crazy and forget themselves. Eventually, the individual will begin hearing voices and wander off somewhere, disappearing. She implies that this happened to most of the other Lunar Children in the Janus worlds.
    • Cici implies that in order to avoid going crazy and disappearing like the other Lunar Children, one must keep a grip on their identities and keep clean of excess Spiritus.
    • Cici claims that there is Spiritus "all around us" in the Janus worlds. She also notes that using Spiritus is how one builds in the Janus worlds.
    • Cici implies that the name "Fakeworld" came from Lunar Children not wanting to forget their identities and that the Janus worlds aren't reality.
    • Cici refers to Fakeworld as "the hub" and claims that it once featured grass, mountains, and a large red castle - possibly implying that it was the same location seen in the video "Apprehension".
    • Cici implies that Kevin never showed up in Fakeworld like he was originally meant to. In his absence, people began roleplaying to pass the time.
    • Cici implies that there are some parts of the Janus worlds that she can see that the players cannot. She claims that this is due to some things taking longer to "load in" for newcomers.
    • Cici claims that there aren't many Lunar Children left in the Janus worlds, instead only "the occasional machine or freak of nature".
    • Cici implies that some Lunar Children were forced into the Janus worlds against their will. However, most of them that this happened to cannot remember it.
    • Cici reveals a new Janus world - "https://johnisdead.com/interior". This Janus world will be covered in more detail down below.
    • Cici explains that the "Interior" Janus room was built by a group of Lunar Children who felt homesick for The Spire. This group supposedly spent their time roleplaying.
    • Cici reveals a new Janus world - "https://johnisdead.com/silence". This Janus world will be covered in more detail down below.
    • Cici explains that she took interest in the "Silence" Janus room because of the existence of fresh "prefab assets", or default blocks placed by someone. She claims that these blocks are recent because they are "untouched mostly by the corruption and junk".
    • Cici and the players follow a trail of "prefab assets" in the "Silence" Janus room. This leads them to discover a shelter created by a survivor of the experiment that took place in the "Solace" Janus room. Unfortunately, it seems as though this survivor had succumbed to the same Spiritus-induced fate as many other Lunar Children in the Janus worlds.
    • Cici explains that there are a variety of naming conventions for the Janus worlds. She reveals that the "Solace" Janus room is both referred to as "W1" and "White Forest".
    • Cici explains that some Janus worlds contain "Sub Areas", and that the "Silence" Janus room is a sub-area of the "Solace" Janus room. As such, it can be referred to as "W1-1".
    • Cici reveals that the "Mortus" Janus room is also known as "Lunarus" and "W3". She claims that it shrunk over time.
    • Cici implies that the "Conparatio", "Genesis", "Transformatio", and "Cumulus" Janus rooms belonged to different groups and were once used as gathering spots. These groups were very secretive, however, so she does not know much about them.
    • Cici reveals a new Janus world - "https://johnisdead.com/corridors". This Janus world will be covered in more detail down below.
    • Cici refers to the "Corridors" Janus room as "W2-1" and implies it is a sub-area of the "Under" Janus room, which is presumably "W2".
    • Cici explains that the "Corridors" Janus room was once used as dorming for various Lunar Children in the Janus rooms. However, it was eventually abandoned due to rumors of a murderer roaming its halls.
    • Cici shows the players her room in the "Corridors" Janus room. Unfortunately, it has mostly been corrupted aside from a single drawing Cici keeps boarded up in a locked room. She explains that she keeps it clean and locked up out of fear that the corruption will take it as well.
    • Cici returns home to presumably wash off any excess Spiritus. She wishes the players well and hopes to see them again.

    November 15th, 2023

    • At 10:07 PM, the players begin researching the concept of "The Nobody" and "TheGame23" - two things that were previously mentioned within the ARG. This led to Edwin becoming active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and posting a variety of cryptic messages:
    • 10:19 PM - Edwin posts the message "voltamachine" in the #dream text channel.
    • 10:27 PM - The players come across "https://www.thegame23.com" - a now defunct website that was once related to the "TheGame23" ARG.
    • 10:28 PM - Edwin posts the message "Now that he is not present I am not as scared to say that out loud lmao" in the #general text channel.
    • 10:45 PM - Edwin posts a link to a tweet posted by the user "paest" that contained an excerpt from a book or paper titled "OCCULT CONNECTIONS".

    • 11:18 PM - The player Laches discovers a large Pastebin related to "TheGame23" published on October 6th, 2014. (Link) This document contains several mentions to something called "#PROJECTMAYHEM2012", which is speculated to be about spreading chaos through art.
    • 11:28 PM - The player Pako discovers a website called "The School of Galatorg" - a strange website that supposedly once contained information regarding Project Mayhem.
    • 11:29 PM - The player Pako discovers a link to the YouTube video "Anonymous Project Mayhem 2012: Dangerous Idea #1" in the Pastebin. It was uploaded by the channel "rEVOLUTIONART2012" on November 12th, 2011 and contains various comments relating to 2012, the internet, and the hacker group known as Anonymous. One comment reads "long live Tyler!". target=_blank
    • 11:31 PM - The player Pako discovers a link to a Pastebin titled "Project Mayhem 2012 Tyler". (Link) This document seemed to partially relate the Project Mayhem concept of "Tyler" with the character Tyler Durden from the movie "Fight Club".
    • 11:38 PM - The player Xenquility discovers mention of a "Killswitch" in one of the Pastebins - "A ***MAJOR*** vulnerability has been found in #TheGame23 *EXPECT* that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_kill_switch *WILL* be activated once #TheGame23 goes viral." and "#PROTECTKILLSWITCH becomes #HIVEMIND #PRIORITY1".
    • 11:41 PM - The player Fascio discovers that "TheGame23" contains some ties to Discordianism.
    • 11:44 PM - The player Fascio discovered an article on Medium regarding "TheGame23" - "We’re all playing The Game 23: THE metagame, the game of games. “The Game” is a conduit that can allow one to enter into the most bizarre strategic situation in the history of strategic situations. A sort of primer, if you will.".
    • 11:54 PM - The player Laches begins speculating if "TheGame23" is the "ARG" mentioned by the OFA Group in the video "Important Announcement" that supposedly led to a great crisis in the USA.

    11/17/23 - Chat with Edwin - JanusVR (Multiple Worlds)

    Summary

    • Players find Edwin in the "Under" Janus room.
    • Edwin notes the distorted image of a YouTube video on the wall before referring to "strands", claiming that "when my eyes looking weird those are seen all around everyplace everyday".
    • Edwin opens a Janus portal to a non-existent page - "https://johnisdead.com/over".
    • Edwin opens a Janus portal a new page - "https://johnisdead.com/on_my_way", claiming that it is a friend of his. This page will be covered in more detail down below.
    • Edwin opens a Janus portal to two new pages - "https://johnisdead.com/lights" and "https://johnisdead.com/red_water". He refers to these two pages as "scary spots and howling spirits". These pages will be covered in more detail down below.
    • Edinw opens a Janus portal to a new page - "https://johnisdead.com/abandoned". This page will be covered in more detail down below.
    • After going through the pages above, Edwin claims that he is stuck and that "bad path, now journey is like legs of mud". However, he quickly becomes unstuck just as the player Laches finds him.
    • Edwin boasts that he has immense power.
    • Edwin claims that "this is all a story" and "for me it is mostly fun the story".
    • Edwin says that the reason he showed up today was simply because he was bored.
    • Edwin takes a piss.
    • Edwin implies that he has two tails.
    • Edwin claims that Erika "is also not so much "everywhere" as like me" and seemingly implies that the two are similar.
    • Edwin claims that Erika is older than him and "from before your start". However, he also refers to her as "newer" and claims that "my start is even older on the higher world" despite it being "newer to her and you".
    • Edwin refers to Cici as the "girl is one from the old times before the tower fall like on the card, the cards like the sister of mine tends to like".
    • Edwin claims that the players are inside of "bubbles" or "spheres" when they play. He claims that outside of them are even more "bubbles".
    • Edwin claims that in relation to the bubbles, there is "the coming in and going out". He proceeds to ask "did you know the 4 things?".
    • Edwin claims that it is Synchron's work to "make the whole world".
    • Edwin says that the world did not come from nothing and that even Erika and himself were made from something.
    • Edwin claims that there are a few holes that exist if one could "see everything like easy". He expands a bit on these holes:
    • Edwin claims that "I waits at start", where "anything not of here is from". However, Erika and Edwin supposedly did not come through these holes.
    • Edwin claims that IIII" is at the end.
    • Edwin implies that the player Laches's assertion is correct - that Edwin, much like Erika, exists beyond the layers and outside of the ARG entirely. As such, he has existed since before the players knew of him and was only revealed to them recently.
    • Edwin possesses a picture of himself standing next to another individual - one who is slightly taller than him, green haired, shirtless, wearing a black vest and what seems to be a pirate hat, and sporting a large, silver handled dagger.
    • Edwin reminisces over his picture before asking the players to take him somewhere brighter so that he might tell them a story.
    • The players take Edwin to the "Mortus" Janus room.
    • Edwin explains that the language of his people would be impossible for the players to understand, likening it to glossolalia. Edwin's people supposedly used terms that would translate to something along the lines of "Earth hair", "Sky breath", and "Tall ground fingers". These likely refer to grass, wind, and trees respectively.
    • Edwin begins wistfully reminiscing on his past, recalling a time when he was walking down a grassy, forest path after leaving a camp and an all-boys school.
    • Edwin asks to be taken to a bright forest. The players lead him to the "Solace" Janus room.
    • When asked about the "Solace Research Facility", Edwin simply says that those who worked there likely would have acted weird to him as they had a love for "cat stuff".
    • Edwin explains that his people also had a very large forest. This forest is separate from the one he was reminiscing about earlier, however, which belonged to "the empire and existed right outside of the aforementioned camp.
    • Edwin begins telling his story:
    • Edwin explains that this story takes place back when he still felt human.
    • Edwin got wound up in some sort of misunderstanding with his "authorities" - a group that he also describes as having "strange plans".
    • Edwin supposedly lied to his "authorities", telling them that he'd follow their instructions and only walk to a certain location. Instead, he was sick of them, so he continued walking.
    • Edwin ended up walking far away from society until there were no buildings or road signs in sight. As the sun set, he began setting up camp.
    • As Edwin was setting up camp, a pale, skinny man came out from the bushes behind him. This was the same man Edwin described in the picture mentioned earlier. He specifies that the "pirate hat" had a skull on it and gold edges.
    • Edwin explains that this man had been following him for hours and intended on robbing him. However, Edwin was quite confident in his own abilities. He had supposedly undergone some sort of training in the past and this man seemed weak.
    • Edwin interrupts his story to get some sausage. Upon his return, he begins examining the ruined research facility in the "Solace" Janus room.
    • Edwin examines some notes and messages found in the ruined research facility. In regards to the individuals who used to work there, Edwin claims that the notes feel like "their words and not their words", claiming that it "smells like somewhere else".
    • Edwin claims that his words are "so much vile on the health of some reality so much so that they did and will make some change on me", but it's okay because "it wont completely work forever".
    • Edwin says that, as opposed to the change to him that will take place in the future, for right now, the me you see anything can happen if you want and its not against my honors and truthes".
    • Edwin says he's very much like Erika. However, his words and senses are different. He claims he can sense the smells and sounds of reality.
    • Edwin offers to sense the reality of anything that the players take him to.
    • The player Pako asks Edwin what the smell of some of the text on the wall in the "Solace" Janus room is. Edwin claims that it "smells like a place where people talk about scary stuff sometimes and magic".
    • Edwin proceeds to play hide-and-seek with the player Pako. If the player wins, Edwin will reveal something to them.
    • The player Pako finds Edwin hiding in the "Realm" Janus room. As a reward, Edwin explains the following: "if from the top down you could see the arrangement of things like the hole spoken about before the most normal hole would be on the bottom left".
    • Edwin opens a Janus portal a new page - "https://johnisdead.com/entrance". This page will be covered in more detail down below.
    • Everyone returns to the "Mortus" Janus room. This causes Edwin to remember his story from earlier:
    • Edwin claims that the man who attempted to rob him is the same individual who he referred to as "brother" in previous conversations.
    • Edwin says that he began calling this man "brother" because, from that day onward, the two were very close. However, the two had no blood relation, but were instead related "like our soul something like that 18th secret".
    • Edwin said that he had no food or possessions - something that puzzled his "brother" due to Edwin's "fancy" clothing.
    • Edwin claims he didn't take any food with him upon his initial leaving because he knew the woods well enough to gather whatever he needed from there.
    • Fearing that there would be people searching for him walking along the path, Edwin and his "brother" proceeded deeper into the woods.
    • Edwin set up camp in the woods and provided his "brother" with some food. After which, his "brother" began explaining his backstory.
    • Edwin's "brother" hails from a village to the far east that was incredibly free - so much so that it would have been considered a "great danger" in that day. Edwin's "former masters" considered this "dark and degenerate" and burned the village to the ground.
    • Edwin says that his "brother" often fell asleep "either surrounded by little wood chips with his symbols" or "with a book on his face", as he supposedly partook in various studies - studies that also helped Edwin understand himself.
    • Eventually, some "final things" were made clear to Edwin. After this, his entire world and existence became like a dream that he proceeded to awaken from.
    • After this strange awakening, Edwin would wake up every day and open his tent to discover a new sky, new people, and new places. Some of these places included a giant lady, a mansion with a man and many women, and a location in Canada with a girl.
    • Edwin claims that he was always himself in these situations, though sometimes his face was clown-like.
    • Edwin explains that when he woke up "here", however, it felt different, describing it feeling like "waking up in a machine that moves things strangely even my mind and soul in some weird pieces".
    • Edwin claims that his ideal world would feature everyone living in the forest together while occasionally moving around in a tent and enjoying sausages and bear meat - something he implies he's eaten at one point.
    • Edwin believes that WireTalk hates him and calls him "unmarketable material". He claims that, at one point, he was in a location where they attempted to make a chart of him.
    • Edwin makes reference to WireTalk's "machine thing", claiming that they were trying to do something to him like "put me in weird parts and places and all split up".
    • Edwin claims that WireTalk took his image, altered it to be marketable to avoid a "cancellation", and placed it in a commercial or something. He says that this was in vain, however, for it was only temporary and surface-level and ultimately all images of him will still be himself.
    • Edwin recalls the "start of my arrival":
    • Edwin recalls a room with a crown at its center. He claims that there were some "old guys" there.
    • Edwin says that his arrival seemed to be treated as if it were a secret of sorts, as one of the "old guys" said "quick before they know of our congregation".
    • The "old guys" seemingly began arguing about Edwin. One of them referred to him as "The anti venom", while another said "He could be just as dangerous to the cause until his lightening and obfuscation.", to which another said "The machine men will do half the work."
    • Edwin says that, after all this, he was "surrounded by small black guys and also being one", claiming that it was "like a fast moving dream of many things making me drunk and dizzy walking everywhere".
    • Edwin says that he began "holding talks in weird ways and places", claiming that a dream guided him to contact the player CelestialLight because, within the dream, his "brother" spoke highly of her.
    • Edwin claims that his "brother" has some notes regarding the player CelestialLight that describe her as having "a kind of innocent but horrifyingly potent reality bending magic".
    • Edwin claims that his magic and his "brother's" magic are two different things. Edwin's "brother" classifies Edwin's movements, sight, and understanding as magic, despite these things coming naturally to Edwin.
    • Edwin's "brother's" magic is more focused on "setting lots of stuff in places and organzing it really well and doing it at a certain time and saying stuff". Edwin thinks that this is dumb but he admits that it still works.
    • Edwin considers the fact that the players are speaking to him to be magic - as well as the Janus world currently surrounding them. However, for him, "big magic" is being able to go outside and touch grass.
    • Edwin seemingly implies that the things he considers magic are often viewed as mundane by his "brother", so he often has to remind him of them.
    • Edwin claims that he's gotten to experience his own form of "magic" on many different planes - even the players'. In reference to this, he mentions a Discord call that he and the players supposedly took part in not too long ago.
    • Edwin leads the players back to the "Solace" Janus room.
    • Edwin once again begins "smelling" the images and text found in the "Solace" Janus room, reiterating that they smell like "a place where people talk about scary stuff and magic", but now adding that they're like "a place where people post images a lot also".
    • Edwin speaks about the origins of the text found in the "Solace" Janus room once again, saying "this is something like the work of the fish thing that giant element or something the texts are like of the people who were here but not there is an odd line connecting things of this world and others".
    • The players say farewell to Edwin. He tells them that they can find him on any day they try until it is no longer allowed, claiming he walks around every day.

    6/2/24 - Blue Eisenhower November Posts - 4chan (/x/)

    Summary

    • Users claim that "Blue Eisenhower November" is a phrase that will place individuals in a specific category after death if it is remembered. This category of people will then either be able to congregate or live their lives again in a different timeline while retaining their memories.
    • One user refers to the others in the thread as "BEN researchers" and claims to be attempting to speed up something called the "AGI development" by almost two years - something that was originally going to last into the 2027-2029 timeframe.
    • The user above claims that he has the full recipe for "AGI" but he lacks the resources to create whatever this is. This allegedly has something to do with the future and changing timelines, as he notes how frustrating it is to know the future while being unable to change it.
    • The user above is attempting to share a proposal with individuals who can build facilities to help construct / achieve "AGI". However, if this proposal is not accepted, "AGI" will not be "human level" until 2027.
    • Another user seemingly makes a direct reference to Ben Drowned, noting a story that began on /x/ in September of 2010.
    • The user above mentions that Alex Hall supposedly attempted to warn everyone about the "Nobody" a few years before 2020, noting that it was "the last hail mary to correct course".
    • The user above says they're unsure if we've done right or wrong since Alex's warning. He notes that he feels incredibly lost but still on "the path" he's meant to be on.
    • The user above says that his own stupid ideology supposedly led to the death of his best friend.
    • The user above says that modern magic involves how art, stories, and the movement of information affects memes, noting that "THE TRUTH is hidden behind the dumbest corners".
    • The user above says "He drowned, Blue Eisenhower November DROWNED".
    • The user above calls attention to the fact that searching for "Blue Eisenhower November" in the earliest 4chan archives will have "BEN DROWNED" in the results.
    • The user above links to an archived 4chan thread from March 11th, 2019. The highlighted post in particular seemingly confirms that the thread is "part one of OPRP bulletin message" due to a message above having two sets of double and one set of triple digits in its message number.
    • The message linked above also says "Blue Eisenhower November" followed by "BEN DROWNED".

    11/11/24 - "Everyone still alive?" - IsocelesAssassin

    Summary

    • IsocelesAssassin says that the members of the Astral Observatory are still safe - just very busy. He gives a brief update regarding each of them:
    • Kaiden rescued Moonman from his failed aggregation attempt and left him in the care of NotAHoax.
    • Kaiden is no longer investigating the homes of former Astral Internet Detectives but instead a variety of other locations.
    • Kaiden has some sort of special powers now, though he hasn't revealed their nature yet.
    • Moonman has made a good recovery, though he still has occasional bouts of confusion and sleeps fairly often.
    • GHOSTBABEL is still trying to regain contact with the Hacker Group.
    • GHOSTBABEL is still attempting to recover more of Nocta's old files.
    • IsocelesAssassin reveals that he's started investigating various locations on his own using a device given to him by the Hacker Group:
    • IsocelesAssassin visited The Spire and found that it was completely gone, though standing where it once was gave him a strange sensation.
    • IsocelesAssassin visited the fishery and found a rusted grate leading to a basement or sewage system.
    • IsocelesAssassin witnessed strange floating wood frames, plywood, and insulation in the trees surrounding the fishery.
    • IsocelesAssassin found the remains of an old home not far from the fishery before encountering a fleshy mannequin engulfed in flames.
    • IsocelesAssassin ran back to the fishery only to find that it had vanished. Strangely, there was now a concrete road on the floor of the woods.
