[6:28 PM] Slinky: "That's mature enough?"
[6:28 PM] Pako: "idk"
[6:28 PM] Xenquility: "I don't think the age of ben is affecting tenebris anymore"
[6:29 PM] Slinky: "Idk"
[6:29 PM] Slinky: "Just tryin"
[6:29 PM] Xenquility: "and to be fair I don't know if "dead" spirits mature"
[6:29 PM] Slinky: "Also @SHADOWLINK can you give us a permission so we can go on a field trip to your offices"
[6:29 PM] Pako: "where is tenebris now?"

[6:34 PM] SHADOWLINK: "oh"
[6:34 PM] SHADOWLINK: "that tournament thing"
[6:34 PM] SHADOWLINK: "what were you told?"
[6:34 PM] Slinky: "Something about stopping a storm"
[6:34 PM] Xenquility: "some of our peeps died"
[6:34 PM] SHADOWLINK: "well"
[6:34 PM] SHADOWLINK: "i wasn't actually there :slight_smile:"
[6:34 PM] Slinky: "And I Almost beat the fuck out of TheLaw"
[6:34 PM] Xenquility: "and we also don't know what the hell the ending was"
[6:34 PM] Slinky: "Yeah"
[6:35 PM] Xenquility: "aka tyler-moon came in and kicked regi's ass"
[6:35 PM] Slinky: "iirc Tyler won"
[6:35 PM] Xenquility: "mind you we don't know if that actually happened or if it was a joke"
[6:35 PM] Slinky: "But Tyler is pretty much not available now"
[6:35 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Yeah"

[6:35 PM] SHADOWLINK: "not my problem"
[6:35 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I have my own shit to fuck up"
[6:35 PM] ARGdov: "or what the storm is"
[6:35 PM] ARGdov: "this is true"
[6:35 PM] SHADOWLINK: "you know how it is, dastardly plans and all"
[6:35 PM] ARGdov: "we are wondering."
[6:35 PM] Slinky: "Dude your dickhead levels are high today huh"
[6:35 PM] ARGdov: "do said plans involve constructing, say, a parallelos"
[6:36 PM] Xenquility: "or merging/turning back time"
[6:37 PM] Slinky: "Or destroying, say, the world as we know it"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "when were my dickhead levels low?"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "also isn't it testy"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "calling me a dickhead"
[6:37 PM] Slinky: "Idk when you didn't kill Babel at all"
[6:37 PM] Slinky: "Like"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "when you have no idea what i could"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "say"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "maybe"
[6:37 PM] SHADOWLINK: "do"
[6:37 PM] ARGdov: "y'all need to stop swamping him"
[6:37 PM] ARGdov: "and antagonizing him"
[6:37 PM] ARGdov: "we asked some questions"
[6:37 PM] ARGdov: "Im wondering if you'd be willing to answer"
[6:37 PM] Slinky: "Okay and how's babel"
[6:37 PM] Slinky: "Is he dead"
[6:38 PM] SHADOWLINK: ""Im wondering if you'd be willing to answer""
[6:38 PM] SHADOWLINK: "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/453323274496245764/662801980888055819/maxresdefault.png"
[6:38 PM] ARGdov: "lol"
[6:38 PM] ADULT_LINK: "what the fuck is even going on in this arg anymore"
[6:38 PM] ARGdov: "we're trying to figure things out"
[6:38 PM] Slinky: "Okay that lowered your levels"
[6:38 PM] ARGdov: "xenquility has been theorizing up a storm for the past week or two"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "He's doing a good job"
[6:39 PM] ARGdov: "so we'd like to run them by someone who could tell us if were on the right track"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "that's why I came around"
[6:39 PM] Slinky: "o"
[6:39 PM] ARGdov: "@Xenquility bup approves of your theorizing"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Didn't I say Xen?"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "you were sooo close"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "but also wrong"
[6:39 PM] ARGdov: "thing is theres been so many lol"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "wrong wrong wrong"
[6:39 PM] Xenquility: "does that mean we're actually close to something"
[6:39 PM] ARGdov: "it'd be hard to piece together"
[6:39 PM] ARGdov: "by the sound of it yeah"
[6:39 PM] ARGdov: "Im wondering...hmm"
[6:39 PM] Slinky: ":eggplant~2:"
[6:39 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Xen has been close to several different truths"
[6:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "about DIFFERENT things"
[6:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "but I'll never say what"
[6:40 PM] ARGdov: "Im sure"
[6:40 PM] Slinky: "oof"
[6:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "because then our game"
[6:40 PM] ARGdov: "welp"
[6:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "is over."
[6:40 PM] Slinky: "Xen has a big brain"
[6:40 PM] ARGdov: "that would be frustrating"
[6:40 PM] Xenquility: "could we have a hint as to what we've been close to"
[6:40 PM] Slinky: "Also I just lost the game"
[6:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "nah"
[6:40 PM] Xenquility: "damn"
[6:40 PM] ARGdov: "a gamemaster would hate to have a game end too quickly"
[6:40 PM] ARGdov: "so to speak"
[6:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Today there was some big braining"
[6:41 PM] SHADOWLINK: "i'll say that much"
[6:41 PM] ARGdov: "truth"
[6:41 PM] Slinky: "Aight"
[6:41 PM] Xenquility: "okay cool"
[6:41 PM] ARGdov: "also I jut jumped back and read the backlog"
[6:41 PM] ARGdov: "apologies for barking up the wrong tree there"
[6:41 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Here's is one thing I am absolutely 100% being truthful on though"
[6:41 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I'm not Tyler"
[6:41 PM] SHADOWLINK: "promise."
[6:41 PM] ARGdov: "well, thats settled"
[6:41 PM] Xenquility: "cool"
[6:41 PM] Slinky: "Okay"
[6:41 PM] Slinky: "Cool"
[6:42 PM] ARGdov: "still was an interesting theory though"
[6:42 PM] Xenquility: "that highly limits what we can look back on today so good shit"
[6:42 PM] ARGdov: "a game theory"
[6:42 PM] ARGdov: "is righfully sent to prison"
[6:42 PM] Slinky: "AAAAA dov why would you say that"
[6:42 PM] ARGdov: "sorry?"
[6:42 PM] Slinky: "a game theory"
[6:43 PM] ARGdov: "in other news"
[6:43 PM] ARGdov: "Im wondering if the one thing we're almost certainly right about is the green paralellos"
[6:43 PM] ARGdov: "wether thats a place for dead souls or not"
[6:43 PM] Xenquility: "I think that was yesterday"
[6:43 PM] ARGdov: "Im sensing a large chunk of people weve spoken to have been sent there"
[6:43 PM] ARGdov: "eh, true"
[6:44 PM] Xenquility: "could be that the ascended parallelos just doesn't fucking exist"
[6:44 PM] Xenquility: "all people go to one"
[6:44 PM] Xenquility: "and the people who "ascend" are just used as cannon fodder"
[6:44 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Mmmm"
[6:44 PM] ARGdov: "what else id we fucking talk about today besides BUPs supposed identity"
[6:46 PM] ARGdov: "oh we did discuss skm today,as well as them potentially trying to create a new timeline/resting this one"
[6:46 PM] Slinky: ">new timeline"
[6:46 PM] Slinky: "Dude I'm not even done w the first one"
[6:46 PM] Slinky: "How I'm supposed to read the new one"
[6:46 PM] ARGdov: "you know what I mean."
[6:47 PM] Xenquility: "1. The proposed meaning of "IIII" and "eoeoeoeo" videos were discussed"
[6:47 PM] Xenquility: "2. SKM's "Fading" was discussed"
[6:47 PM] Xenquility: "3. The "goals" discussed in Prod's cipher (Time convergence shit)"
[6:47 PM] ARGdov: "oh we also mentioned tyler gaining a lot of power but i dunno if we connected anything to that"
[6:47 PM] Xenquility: "that was all related to bup being Tyler so im not sure lmao"
[6:48 PM] ARGdov: "yeah"
[6:48 PM] Xenquility: "unless the thing about Tyler gaining power through dreams itself had merit but I'm not sure"
[6:48 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Everything's always Tyler Tyler Tyler"
[6:48 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I'm getting bored"
[6:48 PM] ARGdov: "oh?"
[6:49 PM] ARGdov: "who should we talk about then"
[6:49 PM] ADULT_LINK: "i mean. he's basically the main character we've seen for quite some time"
[6:49 PM] Slinky: "What if we replace every Tyler with a Bup"
[6:49 PM] Xenquility: "also it's not that anyone else is boring it's the fact that he's a prime candidate for some how being involved with IIIII"
[6:49 PM] ARGdov: "nah hes not tyler"
[6:49 PM] ADULT_LINK: "as well as running things ooc"
[6:49 PM] Xenquility: "and that's whatim fucking obsessed over right now"
[6:49 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Am I base enough to gear the conversation about myself? That seems like ego stroking, and also a way to pressure to reveal who I am"
[6:49 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Also that is fair"
[6:49 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I will give you that"
[6:49 PM] ARGdov: "oh by all means"
[6:50 PM] Slinky: "Like: yo where TF is bup? Is he sleeping or did we woke him with da mask"
[6:50 PM] ARGdov: "tell us about yourself"
[6:50 PM] ARGdov: "we would ask questions oursleves but experience has proven thats p pointless"
[6:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "fine"
[6:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "maybe I'll tell you exactly who I am"
[6:50 PM] Xenquility: "I feel like "maybe" is the keyword there"
[6:51 PM] Slinky: ":GWeniSadNeko:"
[6:51 PM] Xenquility: "in reality though, ignoring what we desire to know you're probably the most important dude for us to learn about right now"
[6:51 PM] ARGdov: "except we have nothing we can do now but try and recklessly theorize with the information we have"
[6:51 PM] ARGdov: "but hey"
[6:52 PM] ARGdov: "Ill take a maybe over a "definietly wont""
[6:52 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Eh"
[6:52 PM] SHADOWLINK: "i don't that I'm more important"
[6:52 PM] Xenquility: "i mean you're pretty important at least"
[6:52 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Maybe feeling a little more unhinged"
[6:52 PM] SHADOWLINK: "than say, thelaw"
[6:52 PM] SHADOWLINK: "or prod"
[6:52 PM] Xenquility: "how come?"
[6:53 PM] Slinky: "prod is best girl"
[6:53 PM] CAT: "SHADOWLINKToday at 5:27 PM a deer made of tiny weenies"
[6:53 PM] CAT: "sounds right up my alley"
[6:54 PM] CAT: "also i heard my name"
[6:57 PM] ARGdov: "I also wish we knew what the deal was with the green parallelos but"
[6:57 PM] ARGdov: "one thing at a time I suppose"
[6:58 PM] Xenquility: "I'd say we got a good 5 priorities here"
[6:59 PM] Xenquility: "1. Identity of Bu- Link's crew"
[6:59 PM] Xenquility: "2. Their plans"
[6:59 PM] Xenquility: "3. IIIII info"
[6:59 PM] Xenquility: "4. eoeoeoeo info"
[6:59 PM] Xenquility: "5. Green parallelos info"
[6:59 PM] Xenquility: "also how to save the world but i doubt we'll be told that"
[6:59 PM] CAT: "through the power of friendship"
[7:00 PM] Xenquility: "I hope winning involves sacrificing wolf"
[7:00 PM] CAT: "I've already sacrificed enough."
[7:00 PM] SHADOWLINK: ":open_mouth:"
[7:03 PM] CAT: ":dream:"
[7:05 PM] Xenquility: "okay time to go back into theory mode"
[7:07 PM] Xenquility: "so Bup only 100% disconfirmed the him being Tyler part of the theory but for now I'm just going to assume that meant the whole thing was stupid"
[7:07 PM] Xenquility: "I say we leave that out of our heads unless it's a last resort"
[7:08 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Mmmmm ok"
[7:08 PM] Xenquility: "ok greth"
[7:08 PM] ARGdov: "ok thats good"
[7:09 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Hmmmm"
[7:09 PM] SHADOWLINK: "if you say so"
[7:09 PM] Xenquility: "man vagueness really is my favourite thing about talking to these guys"
[7:10 PM] Xenquility: "i love not being able to tell what im supposed to gather from the situation"
[7:10 PM] ARGdov: "remember the days when people were a bit more forthcoming with information"
[7:10 PM] ARGdov: "good times"
[7:10 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Good point"
[7:10 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Maybe you all do need the confidence boost"
[7:11 PM] SHADOWLINK: "So I will say that calling me Greth is not inherently incorrect"
[7:11 PM] SHADOWLINK: "maybe a bit short sighted"
[7:11 PM] SHADOWLINK: "but certainly better than calling me 'Tyler'"
[7:11 PM] Xenquility: "are you"
[7:11 PM] Xenquility: "ALL THE GRETHS"
[7:11 PM] Xenquility: "lmao"
[7:11 PM] CAT: "He is every voice you have ever heard in your head"
[7:12 PM] Xenquility: "are you actually all the fucking greth's"
[7:12 PM] ARGdov: "lmao"
[7:13 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Kind of :moonthink:"
[7:13 PM] ARGdov: "I doubt that but its a thought"
[7:13 PM] ARGdov: "wait"
[7:13 PM] ARGdov: "what happened to AOs greth"
[7:13 PM] Xenquility: "moonman was sent back in time along with our greth"
[7:13 PM] ARGdov: "hmm ok"
[7:14 PM] ARGdov: "but ok, thats a slight clue"
[7:14 PM] SHADOWLINK: "clue?"
[7:14 PM] SHADOWLINK: "It's the answer"
[7:14 PM] SHADOWLINK: "he was right"
[7:14 PM] SHADOWLINK: "maybe in a vague way"
[7:14 PM] ARGdov: "pffff"
[7:14 PM] ARGdov: "in a vague way"
[7:14 PM] ADULT_LINK: "the :moonthink: makes me think hes moon"
[7:14 PM] ADULT_LINK: "think"
[7:14 PM] SHADOWLINK: "no"
[7:14 PM] ARGdov: "as always"
[7:14 PM] ADULT_LINK: "ok"
[7:14 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I just like that emote"
[7:14 PM] ADULT_LINK: "valid"
[7:15 PM] SHADOWLINK: "HOW MANY LEVELS OF GRETH ARE YOU"
[7:15 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I'm like"
[7:15 PM] SHADOWLINK: "I'm atleast like IIII"
[7:15 PM] SHADOWLINK: "that many at least"
[7:15 PM] Xenquility: "aren't you from like"
[7:15 PM] Xenquility: "every single ID"
[7:15 PM] ADULT_LINK: "spooky"
[7:15 PM] Xenquility: "I'm atleast like IIII -Shadowlink"
[7:15 PM] The Sun: "I heard we were sacrificing wolf"
[7:15 PM] CAT: "no"
[7:15 PM] The Sun: "Oh ok"
[7:15 PM] CAT: "he said hes in every single id"

[7:18 PM] SHADOWLINK: "actually i just like this song"
[7:18 PM] ARGdov: "whats it say?"
[7:19 PM] Xenquility: "nothing I was kidding"

Summary

• BUP changes his username to "SHADOWLINK" and his avatar becomes an image of Link from "Link's Awakening" fighting Shadow Link. This was done after BUP claimed his previous username and avatar had become boring.
• SHADOWLINK claims that he is not Tyler, and is instead about "IIII" layers of Greth.
• SHADOWLINK states that the player Xenquility has come close to solving several mysteries in the past, but he won't specify further, claiming it would end their game.

• At 7:50 PM, IIIII became active in the Discord server and began chatting with the players. The players quickly discovered that this was actually SKM using IIIII's account.

[8:01 PM] Slinky: "oh shit crazy theory just came to my mind, tell you later"
[8:01 PM] IIIII: "Im not sure, I keep my mask on to be safe and its hard to see anything that is not light shining directly in the face of this mask in this environment."
[8:01 PM] Xenquility: "A mask on the literal sense or a mask in the sense of your face?"
[8:01 PM] Slinky: "Gas one I suppose"
[8:02 PM] IIIII: "Im wearing the same one I got a long time ago yeah =p"
[8:02 PM] Slinky: "So the air is not breatheble?"
[8:03 PM] ADULT_LINK: "sounds like it's prety dark, if you need light to be shining at you to see"
[8:03 PM] IIIII: "this is the most un natural place these lunar shazzbots have caused me to end up stuck in (directly or otherwise) in my whole life dealing with them and their purple daddy, quite frankly, ever."

[8:06 PM] Slinky: "That makes more sense"
[8:07 PM] Slinky: "Or, more easy question"
[8:07 PM] IIIII: "I am resourceful I have a camp in the woods though it is shoddy and poor and I have seen no white beings or kids, or really anyone for that matter save for those who come and go from this odd building that does in fact allow me access to the internet"
[8:07 PM] Xenquility: "Does it uh"
[8:07 PM] Slinky: "Have you seen any Bridges?"
[8:07 PM] Xenquility: "Have some sort of rune hanging outside it?"

[8:09 PM] ADULT_LINK: "odd building with internet?"
[8:09 PM] IIIII: "No bridges and I am (through some means that are rather complex) acessing the account of whomever must be acessing discord from within this building. What on earth is a rune?"
[8:09 PM] BOTPokécord: Congratulations S.! Your Sceptile is now level 68!"

[8:10 PM] CAT: "damn one level off too"
[8:10 PM] Xenquility: "Something like this: ᛟ"
[8:11 PM] IIIII: "I have a small bit of a hunch but I will not share that for the time being"
[8:11 PM] IIIII: "OH I have seen a few of those around here"
[8:11 PM] Slinky: "My salsa my salsa salsa salsa salsa"
[8:11 PM] IIIII: "a lot of little symbols scattered everywhere actually"
[8:11 PM] ADULT_LINK: "i have a hunch too but it might be too M E T A"
[8:11 PM] Slinky: "That sounds very spookboi-y"
[8:12 PM] Slinky: "Scattering symbols around"
[8:12 PM] Xenquility: "Seen anything about |'s or eyes anywhere?"
[8:12 PM] IIIII: "I try to keep my distance though because I get a splitting headache when I come to close, it was an amazing feat just to get the series of connections together I had to make just to pull this off, I thought this would be much more laggy honestly XD"
[8:12 PM] Xenquility: "Also as an addition do you happen to have a sister?"
[8:13 PM] IIIII: "I have a brother why do you ask?"
[8:13 PM] Xenquility: "Hm"
[8:13 PM] Xenquility: "What about a girl friend? (Not a romantic thing but a literal girl that is your friend)"
[8:13 PM] ADULT_LINK: "wut"
[8:15 PM] IIIII: "About a year ago(or maybe it was 2, keeping up with time is actually harder than I would like to admit here) I heard the voice of a girl speaking to me within my head but I promptly ignored this because I know enough about those lunar shazzbot games to know that is not a good thing."
[8:15 PM] IIIII: "the only girl anything I have dealt with my whole time here"
[8:16 PM] IIIII: "I assume this must have been "her whispers""
[8:16 PM] Xenquility: "I'm assuming that was them but otherwise would the name Erika be familiar at all?"
[8:16 PM] IIIII: "I never caught a name"
[8:16 PM] Xenquility: "What were the whispers about?"
[8:17 PM] Xenquility: "(Sorry for basically cross examining you here but times are rough and non-vague information is a rarity lol)"
[8:17 PM] ADULT_LINK: "wait so"
[8:17 PM] ADULT_LINK: "what sort of stuff have you been dealing with"
[8:22 PM] IIIII: "Alright lads Ill admit it, I have gone a bit loopy in my solitude, even lost a good bit of memory, but I entertain no disembodied voices. Further more I am a man of science so I am always at work trying to make sense of my predicament in a rational and reasonable way. I will tell you the whispers were oddly very casual, asking me how my day is going and asking me if I would like to go for a walk with her, nothing very memorable. complimented me on my technical skills a lot, asked me many many times if I play video games and if I would like to maybe work on one some time."
[8:22 PM] ADULT_LINK: "huh"
[8:23 PM] IIIII: "the only time I addressed this thing was when I realized I could not actually make my way out of these woods and onto the rather large path just outside of them without experiencing an ungodly level of pain in my head"
[8:23 PM] IIIII: "telling it to please just sod the fuck off"
[8:24 PM] Xenquility: "Sounds like it was someone we know but it was probably best not to entertain it just in case"
[8:24 PM] Xenquility: "What'd the path lead to?"
[8:25 PM] IIIII: "I have no idea I just know it seems to be very long and even actually has cars riding along it but when I looked close they seemed to be empty, although I cannot be sure it was painful just to be that close to it and this was a very long time ago now I think"
[8:25 PM] IIIII: "she has not spoken to me in a long time and for that I am glad as I know it must mean I am still well of in my mind"
[8:26 PM] Xenquility: "Huh"
[8:26 PM] Xenquility: "The girl we know often speaks of walking down a long road"
[8:26 PM] Xenquility: "Would you happen to be familiar with any I or eye related symbols?"
[8:27 PM] IIIII: "I noticed this account had IIIII as a name before I changed it temporarily just to make myself more known"
[8:28 PM] IIIII: "though now that you make me think of it I feel an odd sense of familiarity to the concept of a IIIII symbol or something like it but I am not sure"
[8:28 PM] Xenquility: "hm"
[8:29 PM] Xenquility: "all we really know is that it's quite odd"
[8:29 PM] Xenquility: "and also dangerous"
[8:30 PM] Xenquility: "Quick question about the building you're in"
[8:30 PM] Xenquility: "Does it look at all like this?"
[8:34 PM] IIIII: "Building? Did I say I was inside a building? I am going daft faster than I thought here XD"
[8:35 PM] IIIII: "I have a connection running (partially wired partially not) to the building but I am off in the woods away from it to be exact"
[8:36 PM] IIIII: "I used to have a journal that helped me keep up with things happening, thats null and void now though I suppose"
[8:37 PM] IIIII: "could have sworn I went in there at some point unless that was a dream"
[8:37 PM] IIIII: "but I also feel like I am dreaming right now"
[8:37 PM] IIIII: "would one of you gents be so kind as to pinch me"
[8:37 PM] Xenquility: "pinch"
[8:37 PM] IIIII: "ah good I feel nothing"
[8:37 PM] IIIII: "dead it is then I suppose?"
[8:37 PM] Xenquility: "could be"
[8:37 PM] IIIII: "Im not sure at all anymore XD"
[8:38 PM] Xenquility: "though from what we've seen the "dead" people in there still fear death so I doubt it"
[8:38 PM] Xenquility: "maybe "dead" from the perspective of those who are alive"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "though I bet the meaning of death changes after being where you've been ;)"
[8:39 PM] IIIII: "I just deeply deeply miss my brother and I will say now that this has just sprung into my mind, you blokes were called the internet detectives for a reason right?"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "he's alive"
[8:39 PM] IIIII: "Have you seen him or found him at all?"
[8:39 PM] IIIII: "REALLy?"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "pretty damn sure"
[8:39 PM] IIIII: "HOW?"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "actually yes"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "as of 11/11"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "no clue"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "but he has his very own youtube channel now"
[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "and he knows where you are"
[8:40 PM] IIIII: "I think they killed him on one of those, or maybe that was someone else god I am so terrible I cant even recall when my own brother as taken from me anymore"
[8:40 PM] ADULT_LINK: "wait i'm an idiot whos skms bro again"
[8:40 PM] Xenquility: "max"
[8:40 PM] Xenquility: "actually"
[8:40 PM] Xenquility: "hm"
[8:40 PM] IIIII: "Max"
[8:40 PM] ADULT_LINK: "i cant tell if i remember him or not"
[8:40 PM] ADULT_LINK: "oof"
[8:40 PM] Xenquility: "to be fair one of the souls in drowned may have been taken but as far as I can tell max still acknowledges the other as alive"
[8:40 PM] IIIII: "His name was max, and he was taken by a crypto pedo cultish brute of a bastard"
[8:41 PM] IIIII: "Ill cut him good I will"
[8:41 PM] IIIII: "If ever I can lay my hands on him proper"
[8:41 PM] Xenquility: "wait cut who good"
[8:41 PM] Slinky: "oof"
[8:41 PM] Slinky: "Patt"
[8:41 PM] Xenquility: "oh nevermind"
[8:41 PM] IIIII: "That purple FUCKER"
[8:41 PM] Xenquility: "fuck I read that wrong"
[8:41 PM] Xenquility: "if we ever make it to him you can do the honours"
[8:42 PM] Xenquility: "*when we make it to him"
[8:42 PM] Slinky: "R I p h I s h e a d."
[8:42 PM] Xenquility: "also uh"
[8:42 PM] Xenquility: "Any clue who this copy cat might be?"
[8:43 PM] IIIII: "Who is the bloody hell is this and why, and quite frankly HOW is he or it wearing the mask I currently have on my face right now"
[8:43 PM] Xenquility: "time garbage probably"
[8:43 PM] Xenquility: "or it's just another gas mask"
[8:43 PM] Xenquility: "all we know for sure is it isn't you"
[8:43 PM] Slinky: "That haircut doe"
[8:44 PM] CAT: "is that hair?"
[8:44 PM] Xenquility: "looks like it"
[8:44 PM] CAT: "looks can be decieving when koopa is involved"
[8:45 PM] IIIII: "is that a flannel? Does he think himself some sort of lumberjack? Poor taste, I wear a nice large winter jacket my father gave me, good for holding all of my extra techno dreck, awful in the florida heat when I used to come down to visit family."
[8:45 PM] Slinky: "He has some thick dreads lmfao"
[8:45 PM] Xenquility: "Damn I guess your eyes have trained to see thing we cant"
[8:45 PM] Slinky: "U got a broblem with flannels m8?"
[8:48 PM] Slinky: "Yeah like he has super thick chunks of hair dropping off his mask"
[8:48 PM] Slinky: "Either that or I'm blind as fuck"
[8:48 PM] IIIII: "Well its probably also because it has spurred one memory for me, of an odd individual who left a red and black flannel jacket near my camp spot. Never caught their face but did hear them laughing and carrying on about something in what I first thought was a big group conversation but then I just saw one man with many voices coming out of his mouth."
[8:48 PM] Xenquility: "Red and black?"
[8:49 PM] Xenquility: "any chance of it being our good ol friend regi?"
[8:49 PM] Slinky: "It was a jacket"
[8:49 PM] IIIII: "He backed up to it facing away from me oddly enough, like he knew I was hiding and felt like being silly while avoiding showing his face. He was being very strangely silly, I must not be the only nut lost in these woods"
[8:50 PM] Slinky: "Nvm"
[8:50 PM] IIIII: "Though when he put it on he changed demeanor and got a bit violent, roughed up my tent"
[8:51 PM] Xenquility: "multiple voices?"
[8:51 PM] Xenquility: "Changing demeanor?"
[8:51 PM] Xenquility: "hm"
[8:52 PM] Xenquility: "Sorry to go back to something from a while ago but do you remember your dream of when you entered the building?"
[8:56 PM] IIIII: "I dreamt I was trying to hide from yet another of those blasted ceremonies they used to drag me to, I would participate simply to be sure they do not doubt me as a "child of the moon""
[8:56 PM] IIIII: "I think that was last night though"
[8:56 PM] IIIII: "but its been re occuring really"
[8:57 PM] IIIII: "actually I think its night right now so maybe it was "this morning""
[8:57 PM] Xenquility: "What was the ceremony about?"
[8:57 PM] IIIII: "Wait no you are going to get my mind too far off point what were you trying to ask me at first please XD"
[8:58 PM] IIIII: "I am not sure how much longer I can be playing around on this discord account"
[8:58 PM] Xenquility: "We've had a friend that was forced to go to one of those ceremonies"
[8:58 PM] Xenquility: "and my original question was just about the dream itself"
[8:58 PM] IIIII: "which dream and when?"
[8:59 PM] Xenquility: "The dream about you entering the building, and we don't know when"
[8:59 PM] Xenquility: "if you can't remember no worries"
[8:59 PM] IIIII: "OH yes I remember now"
[8:59 PM] Pako: "who are you S."
[8:59 PM] Xenquility: "(S is skm)"
[8:59 PM] Pako: "really?"
[9:00 PM] Xenquility: "Yeah"
[9:00 PM] Pako: "omg"
[9:00 PM] IIIII: "They were chanting that chant they always did during important moments" "IO! IO! IO! IO!""
[9:00 PM] IIIII: "I could hear it while running through the woods"
[9:01 PM] Slinky: "IO or EO"
[9:02 PM] IIIII: "I came up to the edge of the woods and dropped my mask because very few if any of them know of me without my mask on so I think my logic must have been that they would no longer recognize me if I was being real"
[9:02 PM] IIIII: "well to be exact the would chant it like (EEE OH)"
[9:02 PM] Slinky: "Holy shit"
[9:03 PM] Slinky: "That's uh"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "yeah that's a guy apparently"
[9:03 PM] IIIII: "I would recomend against saying that out loud"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "some bad dude"
[9:03 PM] Slinky: "Yeah"
[9:03 PM] IIIII: "I think it might be something foul"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "probably"
[9:03 PM] Slinky: "They fucking praise eoeoeoeoeo there"
[9:03 PM] Slinky: "We should start doing it too or some shit?"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "god no"
[9:03 PM] CAT: ".tts eo"
[9:04 PM] Xenquility: "The ceremony you mentioned"
[9:04 PM] Xenquility: "did it involve "Sleep fasting"?"
[9:05 PM] IIIII: "they never said that phrase like it was a god of sorts or anything"
[9:05 PM] IIIII: "it was said at many of the ceremonies"
[9:05 PM] Pako: "this are you?"
[9:05 PM] IIIII: "like some sort of magical exclamation"
[9:05 PM] Xenquility: "huh"
[9:05 PM] Slinky: "Why didn't we asked that before doe"
[9:05 PM] Slinky: "Inb4 they singing the elegy"
[9:06 PM] CAT: "how does the elegy go again"
[9:06 PM] CAT: "someone remind me"
[9:06 PM] Pako: ".yt the elegy of emptiness"
[9:06 PM] Xenquility: "we've had claims from some new guys that old macdonald is their boss"

[9:06 PM] Pako: "HAHA"
[9:06 PM] Xenquility: "see you in a while hopefully"
[9:06 PM] Slinky: "Been a pleasure Sam"
[9:07 PM] Pako: "i copy you slinky"
[9:07 PM] Xenquility: "unless you're okay in which case cool"
[9:07 PM] IIIII: "The sky just flashed red, odd"
[9:07 PM] Slinky: "Last time the elegy had repercussion was when moonman saw that fucking ugly ass beast on the green world"
[9:07 PM] IIIII: "the last time that happened was a few days ago"
[9:07 PM] Xenquility: "at this point I imagine it's just making them more powerful"
[9:07 PM] Slinky: "Oooh happy new year"
[9:07 PM] IIIII: "in which it happened 12 times in fast succesion"
[9:08 PM] Slinky: "Yes"
[9:08 PM] Slinky: "That was my fault, sorry"
[9:08 PM] Slinky: "I was just welcoming the new year"
[9:08 PM] Pako: "the sky red this have something with regiminis"
[9:09 PM] IIIII: "Ahh and I was just going to mention the sense of tireawscb"
[9:09 PM] Xenquility: "uuh"

Im still not sure whats happened to me man
but I am not dead, as much as they want you to think I am.
But I don’t think I am alive either. The thing behind this all wants to confuse you. I was under it for a long time, it really hates you. But I don’t know why, all I know is that you living traps it in some way
The thing is like a parasite, I t has to have the lives of others to exist and the religion kevin was following teaches people to try to be like that as well, except that’s not how it seems to work.

[4:57 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Sam the Genasi, an acolyte. Hooded in dark robe, this cultist of Luna travels along a dimly lit country road. These backwaters of Ruskunne are dangerous roads, not a friendly sight to be seen. But his resolve is strong, for he knows he follows a sacred mission. How does he proceed, this Sam?"

[5:00 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Sam successfully peers his current surroundings. Despite a generally inability for successful atmospheric awareness, he was especially keen on staying aware tonight. He knew it was the great purge."
[5:01 PM] Slinky: "the great purge"
[5:01 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: There was no immediate danger in his presence, but he did notice a thick fog rolling in quick. He needed to get to town before things became too unseeable."
[5:01 PM] Slinky: "oh boy"
[5:02 PM] Xenquility: "brb need to cook dinner"
[5:02 PM] Slinky: "can i know somehow how far away im from my destination?"
[5:04 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Having traveled this countryside many times, you know you are close to your destination. The town of Ruskunne is not far, but there are dangers that come with the darkness and uncertainty of the night, and fog."
[5:05 PM] Slinky: "if im not too far away i can make a run to win some time before the darkness takes over"
[5:06 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Sam decides that perhaps cutting down on time is only feasibly done by increasing his travel from a steady walk into a light sprint."
[5:06 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Would Sam like to push himself into a run?"
[5:07 PM] Slinky: "he would if he felt threatened enough by the unknown contents of the fog"
[5:07 PM] Slinky: "if not, he would keep his light sprint speed"

The closest gathering of free-standing huts seems to be here to indicate a market, but compared to even some of the rural ones you've seen, this is somewhat barren. There are a few stalls of trade worth noting, and a temple of prayer."
[5:30 PM] Slinky: "yes yes YESSSS"
[5:30 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As he makes his way towards the center of the market, he notices a jester."

[5:56 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Greth of Ruskunne: "I see!" Bemused by the odd, but interesting request, the robed man leads Sam to the first relief shrine on the wall, though, he looks somewhat dismayed. "Here was the beginning history of our order, though as you can see..." The relief is broken. It seems to have been shattered, long ago, by some unknown intentional assailant."
[5:57 PM] Slinky: "sam looks interested in the history"
[5:59 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Greth of Ruskunne: Continuing on to the next relief on the wall, Greth beams proudly. "This is the beginning of our Order as I now know it. A long time ago we founded ourselves as the opposition to a heretical religious order known as the Lunar Children... one of our own, in fact, was the focus of our early efforts and a large part of our formation.""
[6:00 PM] Slinky: "Sam interrupts greth for a second and after apologizing for this act, asked if he was the father of this order"

During the reformation and the early period of the Inquisitorium , there was an earnest attempt at recapturing this sacred site. The spirits within had become active again, and so we felt it was best under our control. Safest that way, you see... ...""

[6:19 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As Sam rests his eyes, it is none too long before his it taken in his dreams by the nightmarish visage of some young child, frozen in a manufactured glee. A mournful sounding song begins to pick up in volume in the space between reality and time, the world of dreams, shaking his cranium with the tenacity needed to give concussions. The track is clicking, like it's in the reverse. The face of the doll child screems, lips unmoving. It forces a hand into Sam's mouth, he is unable to react. Two fingers slide down his throat, burying into his stomach, planting roots. He can feel the spread of evil erupting within."

[12:56 PM] SHADOWLINK: ">Pause Game"
[1:16 PM] Xenquility: "Is there a fog?"
[1:44 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: There is indeed a fog. The fog tends to close in around you, covering most of your view... until you realize something on your person is creating a small amount of light."
[1:45 PM] Xenquility: "If it's the raven, use it"
[1:46 PM] Xenquility: "Otherwise, still take ie out"
[1:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: It is indeed, or rather, there is a small rune on the bottom side of the raven that is exerting a magic torchlight. This luminescence would be mistaken for white, but if one pays attention to the outer edges of the dispersing rays, they would note they actually change colors. This light cuts a path through the fog."
[1:50 PM] Xenquility: "What does the rune look like?"
[1:56 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The rune's edges are slightly worn away, and it is difficult to see in the light. There are six points and some symbol in the center."
[1:57 PM] Xenquility: "Hm. Is this the road to ruskunne, the one outside the forest, or one entirely new?"
[2:04 PM] SHADOWLINK: "((An image titled “rune.png” is sent))"

[2:33 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The fog stays silent."
[2:34 PM] Xenquility: "Slowly approach, an attack still at the ready"
[2:36 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you slowly approach the outline of the creature, you recognize the form to be human in shape. As you enter the area where the fog would lift away, however, the form disappears with the mist."
[2:37 PM] Xenquility: "Keep looking around in the fog"
[2:38 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The image of the same creature appears away from you, at the same distance when you first spotted it."
[2:39 PM] Xenquility: "Try approaching again"
[2:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Just as before, as you approach the area of fog where the person seemingly stands in wait, they vanish with the mist."
[2:41 PM] Xenquility: "Hm"
[2:42 PM] Xenquility: "Try approaching with the raven in front of me"
[2:43 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The mist in front of you parts quicker, but just as before, you continue your trek with this figure ever on the edge of your vision, lurking."
[2:46 PM] Xenquility: "Huh"
[2:48 PM] Xenquility: "I could always try putting the raven away, but that would risk death"
[2:49 PM] Xenquility: "If, and only If it's possible without death, put the raven away right before they disappear. If I begin to die, pull it back out"

[3:35 PM] Xenquility: "Try calling out with a simple "Hello?""

[12:32 AM] ReturnedFaith: "im just loafing atm"
[12:32 AM] ReturnedFaith: "and why not so great"
[12:33 AM] Xenquility: "because we're in a similar position as to when we last spoke to you"
[12:33 AM] otherLiam: "we still dont really know anything about what’s goin on"
[12:33 AM] otherLiam: "and things have only gotten more complex"
[12:33 AM] ReturnedFaith: "ah"
[12:33 AM] ReturnedFaith: "thats understandable"
[12:33 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but you know what they say"
[12:33 AM] otherLiam: "so yknow the usual"
[12:33 AM] Xenquility: "and yes we probably on a technical scale have the information to put together but the really hard part is understanding which is correct"
[12:33 AM] Xenquility: "as in"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "when youre putting together a puzzle, the middle is always the hardest"
[12:34 AM] Xenquility: "which idea we come up with is correct"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "at least i think thats something someone probably says"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "maybe"
[12:34 AM] otherLiam: "and also what of the information we have is actually real"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "your journey isnt over yet"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "there's still things left to discover"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "i dont mean like"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "right at this moment"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "just that maybe you dont have 100% of the pieces to everything"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "despite having the puzzle"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "like a puzzle with microtransactions"
[12:36 AM] otherLiam: "this cosmic mystery brought to you by EA"
[12:36 AM] ReturnedFaith: "basically what im saying is that every puzzle has an endstate and a solution"
[12:36 AM] ReturnedFaith: "even if it does not seem apparent at first"
[12:36 AM] ReturnedFaith: "this is my erethral pep talk to you"
[12:37 AM] Xenquility: "okay"
[12:37 AM] ReturnedFaith: "speaking of eurethral"
[12:37 AM] ReturnedFaith: "ive been hard at yes"
[12:37 AM] ReturnedFaith: "i mean work"
[12:37 AM] Xenquility: "would you honestly say that we would be able to solve the puzzle at this current time"
[12:37 AM] otherLiam: "is this game your creation?"
[12:38 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I guess you could say that nothing is purely "my" creation"
[12:38 AM] ReturnedFaith: "though i did most of the heavy lifting the past hour"
[12:38 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but as for the rest of it, I've been watching"
[12:39 AM] otherLiam: "I’m a little surprised it was continued. BUP seemed kinda mad about revealing info to us."
[12:39 AM] ReturnedFaith: "he's a spicy one"
[12:40 AM] ReturnedFaith: "to say the least"
[12:40 AM] otherLiam: "Honestly, if there were any pieces to the puzzle we’d like to have right now, it’s probably just knowing the basics about all the folks we’ve met in the last few months."
[12:40 AM] ReturnedFaith: "also if you were referring to my "magnum dongus" production, no this was not it"
[12:40 AM] otherLiam: "y’all just kinda showed up and started fuckin with us"
[12:40 AM] Xenquility: "bup is a vague asshole"
[12:41 AM] Xenquility: "<3"
[12:41 AM] otherLiam: "and now our main objective got kinda derailed into figuring yall out"
[12:42 AM] ReturnedFaith: "to tell the truth"
[12:42 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I'm also still trying to figure us out"
[12:42 AM] ReturnedFaith: "though I can tell you this"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "SHADOWLINK is several layers of Greth"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I believe he's revealed this much before"
[12:44 AM] otherLiam: "yes"
[12:44 AM] Xenquility: "indeed"
[12:44 AM] otherLiam: "whatever that means"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I work alongside SHADOWLINK"
[12:44 AM] Xenquility: "are you multiple layers of some fucko or are you just a normal person lmao"
[12:45 AM] ReturnedFaith: "sitting here on my couch"
[12:45 AM] ReturnedFaith: "producing day in and day out"

[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "a sneak peek of my production was recently shown off"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but of course I cant say where"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "just something to chew on"
[12:46 AM] Xenquility: "would that be"
[12:46 AM] Xenquility: "the lc page?"
[12:47 AM] otherLiam: "he cant say"

[12:48 AM] ReturnedFaith: "youve already met them"
[12:49 AM] Xenquility: "quick question"
[12:49 AM] Xenquility: "would you happen to know anything about someone named Erika yet"
[12:50 AM] ReturnedFaith: "no more than any of you all"
[12:50 AM] otherLiam: "so, yes then."
[12:51 AM] ReturnedFaith: "on a basic level"
[12:51 AM] Xenquility: "i think that was a hint towards the fact she may just be one of us"
[12:51 AM] Xenquility: "but who the fuck knows anymore"
[12:51 AM] Xenquility: "lines between realities are so blurred at thiis point"
[12:51 AM] ReturnedFaith: "she is a detective"
[12:51 AM] ReturnedFaith: "who happens to speak over the internet"
[12:52 AM] otherLiam: "unfortunately that doesnt really rule out anything"
[12:52 AM] ReturnedFaith: "she shouldnt have done that"
[12:52 AM] ReturnedFaith: "(but she did)"
[12:52 AM] Xenquility: "how many theme song references can we have in one night"

[1:00 AM] Xenquility:Here's a hint for you fuckers the statue is an amiibo -something along those lines from bup fuck"
[1:00 AM] otherLiam: "also “don’t know how you haven’t gotten that yet""
[1:01 AM] otherLiam: "yes clearly the cursed talking raven statue is actually a 5.99 licensed nintendo product for use with licensed nintendo games"
[1:03 AM] Xenquility: "lmao okay sorry i dont spend my money on irl microtransactions enough to recognize it"
[1:03 AM] otherLiam: "sorry my guy, not all of us play with toys."
