7/19/19 - "Adventures of Kaiden Zoromichi ABRIDGED (Ep. 1)" - YouTube (kaiden zoromichi)

The "Adventures of Kaiden Zoromichi" logo appears as 8 bit music plays. Kaiden's sword appears from the bottom of the screen as the word "Abridged" is added to the logo. The logo and music fade out, as Kaiden comes into view, represented by his new Astral Observatory profile picture. He begins speaking with a computer-generated voice similar to Microsoft Sam. Subtitles are also provided.

Kaiden: "These powers of mine have led to nothing but confusion and misunderstanding from everyone. How could I possibly learn to control them?"

A short video of swirling dark energy plays, followed by the appearance of a new character named The Broker of Nokturnal represented by a disturbing shadowy image.

Broker: "Want to learn cool magics and to control your powers?"
Kaiden: "Yes please.
Broker: "Okay soul contract time."

A clip of someone training with a sword is shown with Kaiden's head super-imposed over theirs.

Broker: "Okay you are an agent of shadow and super powerful time traveler now."
Kaiden: "Okay assassin time."

A clip of the Tardis from Dr. Who is shown, signifying that Kaiden is travelling through time to carry out assassinations. A short clip of Ezio from Assassin's Creed killing a target with Kaiden's head super-imposed over his plays, as Ezio's famous line is said:

"Requiescat in pace."

A mock bumper from Spongebob Squarepants is shown as a French voice says:

"Hundreds of deaths later."

Yuukichan appears, taking on an appearance similar to that of her forum avatar.

Yuukichan: "Kaiden, you have to stop!"
Kaiden: "Why, Yuuki-chan?"
Yuukichan: "Just because your power comes from darkness it doesn't mean you have to let it consume your soul! You can use the darkness for light, for good!"
Kaiden: "Impossible, Yuuki, there is no hope for me. The Broker of Nokturnal has my soul under contract..."
Yuukichan: "It doesn't have to be this way, Kaiden!"

An edit of a meme appears featuring Kaiden's face and the text "damn im starting to realize" is shown.

Kaiden: "Maybe you're right Yuuki... Maybe I truly can be..."

The same clip of swirling dark energy appears as the Broker returns.

Broker: "Not so fast bitch lol."
Kaiden: "What?"
Broker: "I'm gonna steal your girl."
Kaiden: "What?"
Yuukichan: "What?"
Broker: "It's ransom time."
Kaiden: "No!"
Broker: "To save her you must destroy ISOCELESASSASSIN."

The swirling energy clip plays and we are shown Yuuki and the Broker fading into darkness. The meme from earlier appears again, now zooming in on Kaiden's face. The Batman transition plays but with Kaiden's face instead. IsocelesAssassin appears, represented by a shadowy figure in a robe.

IA: "Who are you?"
Kaiden: "The one who shall destroy you!"

A clip from Kingdom Hearts plays of Sora and Riku fighting. Sora fights off Riku and yells:

"Forget it!"

IA: "You fool! The Broker is just using you to get rid of me!"
Kaiden: "I know that! But... he has Yuuki!"
IA: "Yuuki?"

Another Spongbob Squarepants bumper is shown, this one reading:

"One long winded explanation later..."

IA: "I see... That is regrettable, but I must not be defeated here!"
Kaiden: "Even still...!"

Kaiden's sword is animated slashing through IsocelesAssassin, followed by a loud scream commonly referred to as the "Loud Nigra" scream. The video cuts to static before returning to IsocelesAssassin.

IA: "But, how!?"
Kaiden: "Because of the power of love."

A meme of a man in a car saying, "Understandable, have a nice day," is shown, but with IsocelesAssassin's head replacing his.

IA: "Understandable, have a nice day."
IA: "But before you kill me, I must pass on the final secret of your power, and my power as well!"
IA: "The power that the Broker of Nokturnal cultivates for his devious plan."
IA: "Time travel!"
Kaiden: "Fool, I can already time travel."
IA: "Yes, but not without your toilet. Nocturnal assassins can travel through time freely."
Kaiden: "NANI?"
IA: "Before you kill me... We could end this... together."
Kaiden: "Perhaps we can..."

A clip of Samurai Jack is shown, depicting Aku sending Jack into the future through time. The following text then appears:

"[AFTER A BUNCH OF SKIPPED RP BECAUSE THIS IS ABRIDGED]"

Kaiden: "Maybe you're right Yuuki... maybe I truly can be..."

The same clip of swirling dark energy appears as the Broker returns.

Broker: "Not so fast bitch lol."
Kaiden: "What?"
Broker: "I'm gonna steal your girl."
Kaiden: "What?"
Yuukichan: "What?"
Broker: "It's ransom time."
Kaiden: "No!"

The Broker is shown as Kaiden's sword slashes through him.

Broker: "What is this?"

Kaiden is shown holding a katana and his signature sword, alongside IsocelesAssassin.

Kaiden: "Not this time, Broker!"
IA: "This time we will defeat you, together!"

The Broker screams "NOOOO" as he slowly slides off the screen.

Kaiden: "Now that time travel is so accessible... what are the ramifications... IsocelesAssassin...?"

IsocelesAssassin is seen fading into darkness.

Yuukichan: "He's gone!"
IA: "We will meet again, Kaiden Zoromichi... My friend... But for now... I must confront another... The G-"

IsocelesAssassin's narration is cut off as strange footage is shown.

Kaiden: "Damn... before I could get answers... or challenge him again..."
Kaiden: "Someday we will meet again... friend."

An image of Mac Tonight appears.

Moonman: "Ok cuck."

The credits begin playing.

otherLiam 8:10 PM: "Also Moonman, meet our new ally. Apparently he’s made of computers."
Mugen Kagemaru 8:10 PM: "Literally what I just said, with the exception of the computer bit"
otherLiam 8:10 PM: "Yeah but I said it, so it’s better."
moonman31 8:11 PM: "uh"
moonman31 8:11 PM: "what"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:11 PM: "Duo, you are not. Let’s avoid that kind of attitude."

Mugen Kagemaru 8:13 PM: "I’m sure your contact would not appreciate it."
Wolfcat 8:13 PM: "lol"
moonman31 8:13 PM: "and he’s gone"
otherLiam 8:13 PM: "Let’s not make demands of the spooky cyberdemon who’s only here because his friend wants him to be."
Jos 8:13 PM: "A angry AI is not good."
Jos 8:13 PM: "see portal"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:13 PM: "Not AI"
Wolfcat 8:14 PM: "AI Returns??"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:14 PM: "Also remember, Liam, [his contact] has him by the balls. He said it himself, his helping us is non-negotiable."
moonman31 8:14 PM: "((Moonman emoji))"
otherLiam 8:14 PM: “Okay, but we don’t have him by the balls. So maybe don’t act like he’s our bitch."
moonman31 8:15 PM: "((An emoji of King Harkinian from the Legend of Zelda CD-i games is posted titled “King")) < real disappointed this emoji isn’t :MABOY:"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:15 PM: “Don’t exaggerate. I simply told him to be more careful in his wording."
otherLiam 8:15 PM: "Got anything new for us, Moonman?"
Jos 8:15 PM: ":ddd:"
otherLiam 8:15 PM: “Or you just here to chill and hang?"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:15 PM: "It may have been harmless now, but it could screw us over later."
Wolfcat 8:15 PM: "do any good smokin lately"
moonman31 8:15 PM: "Not really I have been chilling"
moonman31 8:15 PM: "Truthfully I am kinda tied"
Jos 8:15 PM: "can i have some PRODUCT moonman31"
moonman31 8:16 PM: "Kaiden is being real edgy and suddenly we’re friends now"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:16 PM: "Hm. Interesting."
moonman31 8:16 PM: "and I am trying to not make sure he doesn’t do anything d u m b"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:16 PM: "Good idea"
Jos 8:16 PM: "Control your counterpart mugen heh"
otherLiam 8:16 PM: "You helped him out with that edgy WMM video he made, right?"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:16 PM: "The "suddenly we’re friends now" thing was a bit of a red flag."
Jos 8:17 PM: “Maybe you got a common enemy"
moonman31 8:17 PM: "for jos"
Jos 8:17 PM: "maybe nocta is bad for him now"
otherLiam 8:17 PM: "Was it you who put the weird bit at the end in? Or did Kaiden do that himself?"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:17 PM: "Kaiden said it was a glitch"
moonman31 8:18 PM: "(:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅m̲̅a̲̅r̲̅i̲̅j̲̅u̲̅a̲̅n̲̅a̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅()"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:18 PM: “Nocta had something to say about it though…"
Jos 8:18 PM: "Muchas Gracias"
otherLiam 8:18 PM: "But IA says it’s footage of Nocta. Which is likely not a glitch."
Jos 8:18 PM: "let me smoke in chill"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:18 PM: "Did he, now? Where did he say that?"
otherLiam 8:18 PM: "That’s not how rendering glitches work. It doesn’t just go grab some other footage off your computer."
moonman31 8:18 PM: "oh yeah"
Jos 8:18 PM: "(:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅m̲̅a̲̅r̲̅i̲̅j̲̅u̲̅a̲̅n̲̅a̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅():fire: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud: :cloud:"

moonman31 8:18 PM: "but yeah that was nocta"
moonman31 8:18 PM: "it was from the trip"
moonman31 8:18 PM: "sneaky sneaky kaiden"
otherLiam 8:19 PM: "Trip to where?"
moonman31 8:19 PM: ":thinking:"
moonman31 8:19 PM: “that’s the question innit"
moonman31 8:19 PM: "I wasn’t there, but Kaiden and Nocta sure were"
moonman31 8:19 PM: "if I had to guess, though, probably the same one where they last ‘saw’ Yuuki"
Jos 8:20 PM: "Nocta show Kaiden how to improve his time travel stuff, Nocta could have went with him anywhere."
Mugen Kagemaru 8:20 PM: "We still need to locate her…"
moonman31 8:21 PM: "You uh, don’t quite get it do ya bud"
Mugen Kagemaru 8:21 PM: "Kaiden doesn’t actually have time travel shit I don’t think. That’d mess some shit up for them"
moonman31 8:21 PM: "She’s… not coming back"
moonman31 8:21 PM: "alright well that was depressing"
moonman31 8:21 PM: "bye"

ARGdov 9:10 PM: "Do you know what ID was doing at the time? What were they incestigating"
Slinky stinks 9:10 PM: "well if we follow the time, late 2017 was when…"

moonman31 9:10 PM: "I’d rather not think too much more about it to be honest with you. But I’ll answer what I can manage."
Slinky stinks 9:11 PM: "sorry about that"
ARGdov 9:11 PM: "Thats understandable"
moonman31 9:11 PM: "That being said I don’t honestly remember what the goal was at the time, I always had a foot somewhere else doing other shit."
Slinky stinks 9:11 PM: "when the video . was uploaded"
ARGdov 9:11 PM: "Im just wondering what was different, in your timeline"
otherLiam 9:11 PM: "Yeah don’t push it man, I know this is hard. I hate doin’ this to you."
ARGdov 9:11 PM: "It seems like it was several things already"
Slinky stinks 9:12 PM: "around the Un 2017 i guess"
ARGdov 9:12 PM: "But if we can pinpoint more details we can better understand whats going on and how we can help"
moonman31 9:12 PM: "a lot of stuff seems the same as far as i can tell, except the names of IDs and various events are dramatically different"
Slinky stinks 9:12 PM: "what was IA name on this timeline?"
moonman31 9:12 PM: "also I’m under the impression there was no Nocta in your perspective of the group"
Slinky stinks 9:13 PM: "yeah, kevin was…"
Slinky stinks 9:13 PM: "not here"
ARGdov 9:13 PM: "So the person were p sure Nocta is was never in ID"
ARGdov 9:13 PM: "He was a member of the LC, kinda ascended and became a master of Jid, where all the ascended souls were kept"
Slinky stinks 9:13 PM: "yeah"
ARGdov 9:14 PM: "So thats uh…notable. It raised a lot of questions"
moonman31 9:14 PM: "as far as IsocelesAssassin I’m pretty sure he’s CircleHunter to you guys"
ARGdov 9:14 PM: "Oh wow"
ARGdov 9:14 PM: "That"
Slinky stinks 9:14 PM: "ah"

ARGdov 9:14 PM: "But is still kinda freaky"
ARGdov 9:14 PM: "Wow"
Slinky stinks 9:14 PM: "yeah"
ARGdov 9:14 PM: "Yeah lol"
otherLiam 9:14 PM: "When did Nocta join your side’s ID?"
Slinky stinks 9:14 PM: "ive thougth abou it this morn lol"
ARGdov 9:14 PM: "Im wondering, then"
moonman31 9:15 PM: "Uh Nocta joined us kinda late"
ARGdov 9:15 PM: "Did an event take place on 11/11 at any point by you guys?"
moonman31 9:15 PM: "after the bullshit with youshouldnthavedonethat.net"
moonman31 9:15 PM: "like in 2017"
moonman31 9:15 PM: "early 2017"
ARGdov 9:15 PM: "That went down for us mid to late 2016"
ARGdov 9:15 PM: "But im assuming it was more or less the same bullshit"
ARGdov 9:15 PM: "Were still not sure what happened there"
moonman31 9:16 PM: “no the shenanigans with that line up"
moonman31 9:16 PM: "as far as I can tell"
moonman31 9:16 PM: "Nocta dipped in shortly after"
moonman31 9:16 PM: "in early 2017"
ARGdov 9:16 PM: "Hmm ok, maybe Im misreading something."
ARGdov 9:16 PM: "Nonetheless"
ARGdov 9:16 PM: "So, im wondering"
ARGdov 9:16 PM: "Things got kinda weird after all that by us too"
ARGdov 9:16 PM: "Like were all still a little lost. Timelines converged, history mightve been changed, etc"
ARGdov 9:16 PM: "Early 2017 wouldve been when our greth got wrapped up in everything more seriously, i think"
otherLiam 9:18 PM: "I think it’s important to know what exactly happened in your side’s version of that event, since it seems like that’s where shit diverged."
otherLiam 9:18 PM: "Did you guys vote to use the kill switch?"
ARGdov 9:19 PM: "Thats a good question"

moonman31 9:20 PM: "Honestly"
moonman31 9:20 PM: "I am gonna have to talk to someone about that"
moonman31 9:20 PM: "I can’t really remember."
ARGdov 9:21 PM: "Alright, well, let us know once you find out :/"
moonman31 9:21 PM: "When most of your friend group dies other shit seems irrelevant even when it clearly is."
Slinky stinks 9:21 PM: "yeah dont worry"
ARGdov 9:21 PM: "We get it"
ARGdov 9:21 PM: "Youve been through"
ARGdov 9:21 PM: "A lot"
ARGdov 9:21 PM: "More than any of us"
Slinky stinks 9:21 PM: "that is some hard shit, so if you dont remember, we understand"
ARGdov 9:22 PM: "Weve been involved and have been trying to help and save people but despite all that weve never truly suffered or been put at risk"
ARGdov 9:22 PM: "And once you were on AO im sure things didnt improve"
ARGdov 9:22 PM: "Which reminds me- how did you get invovled with AO?"
otherLiam 9:22 PM: "Like I said, don’t push yourself. Find out when you’re able."
moonman31 9:23 PM: "Well Nocta sort of dipped out for a bit from ID. After that happened all the scariest shit went down."
moonman31 9:23 PM: "I tracked him down myself and idk, I joined in because I wanted to see how he was doing."
moonman31 9:23 PM: "I thought it was important to keep the connections that were still around going"
Slinky stinks 9:23 PM: "makes sense"
moonman31 9:23 PM: "Anyway he had set up a shittier version of AO by that point."
ARGdov 9:24 PM: "Yeah."
moonman31 9:24 PM: "I was worried about him but the more he let me in the more parallels with stuff I’d seen before, but more real to me. So I felt, in the crumbled spirit of ID that remained, I had sort of a g o d l y responsibility to make sure shit didn’t go too far."
moonman31 9:24 PM: "Seems I failed lol."
ARGdov 9:25 PM: "You tried, and thats whats important"
ARGdov 9:25 PM: "This is cold comfort I know but theres no way everyone can ever be saved. And those losses arent your fault"
moonman31 9:26 PM: "anyways the spirit of WH from my world lives in on in basically just me and IA now, though he’s… different, now."
moonman31 9:26 PM: "Anyways I’m gonna bounce."
ARGdov 9:26 PM: "…alright"
moonman31 9:26 PM: “This was also fucking depressing."

Summary

• Moonman says that sometime in late 2017 or early 2018, the Internet Detectives in his timeline disappeared - seemingly dead.
• Moonman says that the only survivors were himself, IsocelesAssassin, Nocta, and the aforementioned Spanish user named "Yugi".
• Moonman claims that our timeline and the Astral Timeline are very similar aside from usernames and a few events.
• Moonman reveals that IsocelesAssassin is the Astral Timeline's version of Circlehunter.
• Moonman says that shortly after The Truth Arc in early 2017, Nocta joined the Astral Timeline Internet Detectives. Nocta left the Internet Detectives not long before the rest of the were killed. After this, Moonman tracked down Nocta and discovered that he had formed the Astral Observatory.
• Moonman claims he joined the Astral Observatory to keep Nocta from going too far with this group and transforming it into a cult, but he failed.

ARGdov 11:17 PM: "tl;dr ID went back and time and killed an internet spirit to stop people from summoning an ancient lovecraftian horror god"
CircleHunter 11:17 PM: "we didn’t time travel then"
CircleHunter 11:17 PM: "did we?"
ARGdov 11:17 PM: "ok, we interacted with people in the past"
otherLiam 11:17 PM: "I was asking because we aren’t sure if that same spirit was still around over there."

CircleHunter 11:17 PM: "OH YEAH"
ARGdov 11:18 PM: "we suspect that the AO timeline is the result of our other selves making a different decision"
CircleHunter 11:18 PM: "how did the whole tiamat thing go?"
ARGdov 11:18 PM: "and didnt officialy kill that internet spirit"
ARGdov 11:18 PM: "tiamat thing?"
Slinky stinks 11:18 PM: "Ergo, the evil spirit killed them"
CircleHunter 11:18 PM: "yeah we kinda helped release the actual god tiamat from its prison"

otherLiam 11:20 PM: "You can just do that? Move between timelines?"
ARGdov 11:21 PM: "we may not be time travelling"
ARGdov 11:21 PM: "lets wait to see whats happening"

Slinky stinks 11:22 PM: "Basically he can enter this timeline because we are here?"
ARGdov 11:22 PM: "dunno"
Jos 11:22 PM: "It is true that when you have experience with timeline travel, you see everything like a script? Like a videogame story that will happen over and over again?"

ARGdov 11:23 PM: "anyways"
ARGdov 11:23 PM: "is there anything else you can tell us?"
Slinky stinks 11:23 PM: "Alright, I see"
ARGdov 11:23 PM: "Moonman said that we can trust IA"
ARGdov 11:23 PM: "but he also said he was "different now" and didnt elaborate"

Slinky stinks 11:27 PM: "Dov, if you guys killed yourselves"
Slinky stinks 11:27 PM: "We couldn’t know it"

ARGdov 11:28 PM: "it probably has something to do with tht"
ARGdov 11:28 PM: "I’ve kinda assumed thats what caused it because him joining was a bit difference in the AO timeline compared to ours"
otherLiam 11:28 PM: "Moonman says we “disappeared"."

ARGdov 11:29 PM: "no ones saying were gonna go back in time to stop oursleves from dying"
Slinky stinks 11:30 PM: "We gotta wait"
Slinky stinks 11:30 PM: "I know"

Slinky stinks 11:31 PM: “Liam said we have three options"
ARGdov 11:31 PM: "my main concern is figuring out whats happening, I think we have a vague idea of what Nocta has in mind, to an extent, but theres other thing we dont know for sure"

ARGdov 11:31 PM: "who did it"

Summary

• GHOSTBABEL informs the players that they are currently working on a way to get into Johnisdead.com, but it will take some time.
• GHOSTBABEL reiterates that the players' main objective is to enter the Subspace, which will involve someone posting something in The Truth message board when the right time comes.
• GHOSTBABEL claims that Nocta is almost always online and that he is desperate to gain new members.
• GHOSTBABEL feels as if they owe IsocelesAssassin something, since they had apparently freed GHOSTBABEL for a second time.
• GHOSTBABEL claims that the accepted the players' offer so that they could perhaps freely move between timelines in the future and escape the "Wyndstrom Foundation".
• GHOSTBABEL implies that IsocelesAssassin has plenty of experience with time travel, but refuses to elaborate further.
• GHOSTBABEL reveals that the Astral Timeline Internet Detectives were killed as the result of a betrayal. They claim that the traitor was not Nocta, Moonman, or Yugi.
• GHOSTBABEL implies that there was another survivor of the Astral Timeline Internet Detectives.

August 8th, 2019

• At 9:14 PM, Nocta created a new topic on the Astral Observatory forums announcing that Moonman had been banned.

8/8/19 - Astral Observatory Post - Astral Observatory Forums

“Hello everyone, is with a heavy heart I let you know that I have banned Moonman. Investigation has led me to discover that he was responsible for the excess of forum spam from bots that we have received, and would continue to receive were registration not stringently controlled as of now. You can thank him for our extremely limited registration capabilities, which will have to continue that way until further notice."

• At 9:16 PM, GHOSTBABEL became active in the Safehaven Discord server and began chatting with the players.

Jos 9:26 PM: "now he says it was moonman"

Jos 9:34 PM: "So find it to save moonman"
Jos 9:34 PM: "fair enought"
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "you didnt answer though"
Slinky stinks 9:35 PM: "Another side quest of finding the hat huh?"
Slinky stinks 9:35 PM: "Nice"
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "two questions now"
ADULT_LINK 9:35 PM: "is this a thing of "as soon as we get it we give it to you" or a “i’d like it at some point once you have it"
ARGdov 9:35 PM: “A: Why do you want it"
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "B: What are the risks of delaying the endgame?"
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "gah, fuck it"
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "I suppose I agree either way."
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "though I’d like to know why you want it"
otherLiam 9:35 PM: "Hang on, let’s discuss this."
ARGdov 9:35 PM: "assuming this wont lead to the multiverse exploding anyways"
Slinky stinks 9:35 PM: "Okay, who has the hat then, circle said he didn’t had it"
ADULT_LINK 9:36 PM: "i think we should talk about it as well"
Jos 9:36 PM: "I do understand there might be questions but we do want to step on sure ground or at least the safest ground we can"
ARGdov 9:36 PM: "we’ll have to retrieve it"
ARGdov 9:36 PM: "ok, well"
ARGdov 9:36 PM: "if we’re gonna dicuss it"
ADULT_LINK 9:36 PM: "i’m not opposed to the idea, but i’d like to hear more before i go in blindly “
ARGdov 9:36 PM: "we need to know what the risks are"
otherLiam 9:36 PM: "Is Moonman really worth delaying stopping Nocta AND losing Helper’s Hat forever?"
ARGdov 9:36 PM: "and why ghostbabel here wants the hat"
ɢʜᴏsᴛʙᴀʙᴇʟ 9:36 PM: "sʟᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜʀ 'ʀᴏʟʟ’, ɪ ᴀᴍ ʜᴀᴘᴘʏ ᴛᴏ ᴅɪsᴄᴜss ᴛʜɪs ᴀ ʙɪᴛ ꜰᴜʀᴛʜᴇʀ."

ARGdov 9:39 PM: “Im willing to agree to this"
ARGdov 9:39 PM: "especially since it sounds like having the hat may be of use"
ADULT_LINK 9:39 PM: "so this is a thing of, as soon as we get the hat we give it to you"
ARGdov 9:39 PM: "it sounds like he’ll retrieve it for us"
ARGdov 9:39 PM: "and then give it to us"
otherLiam 9:39 PM: "Actually, this might be less bad than I thought. GB, given that you’re in an alternate timeline, isn’t there a Helper’s Hat in your timeline as well?"
ARGdov 9:39 PM: "and then we give it back to him"
Slinky stinks 9:39 PM: "Oh…"
ADULT_LINK 9:40 PM: "ooh there could be 2 hats maybe"

ARGdov 9:41 PM: "we’d be giving it to him"

Slinky stinks 9:42 PM: "So IA has it?"
ARGdov 9:42 PM: "especially since it can only be like"
ARGdov 9:42 PM: "5 people"
ARGdov 9:42 PM: "since we dont know that many peopel from your timelien"
ADULT_LINK 9:42 PM: "do you think IA would recognise my name on AO as being his dead freind?"
ARGdov 9:43 PM: "it seems that he does"
ADULT_LINK 9:43 PM: "if not maybe we could try to befreind him and get the hat"

ADULT_LINK 9:43 PM: "thats fair"
ARGdov 9:43 PM: "someone as dangerous as him having it makes me wary but"
Slinky stinks 9:43 PM: "Yeah the we can give away the hat"
ARGdov 9:43 PM: "its that vs someone we know dying"
ADULT_LINK 9:43 PM: "man i wish i’d been able to stay hidden in who i was a bit longer :/"
ARGdov 9:43 PM: “and dying because we may have put him in danger by talking to him"
ARGdov 9:43 PM: “I say we go for it."
ADULT_LINK 9:45 PM: "i’m game i suppose"
ARGdov 9:45 PM: "so that makes three of us"
ADULT_LINK 9:45 PM: "i hope we’ll be able to get a different version of the hat in the future but"
ARGdov 9:45 PM: "@otherLiam @Wolfcat what do you think?"
Wolfcat 9:46 PM: “go for it"
otherLiam 9:47 PM: "I’m concerned about the baddies having more time to prepare and act. It’s likely we’ll lose someone else in trying to save Moonman. That being said, I think it’s worth."
ADULT_LINK 9:47 PM: "should we discuss this in ID a bit, get people who arent in here’s votes?"

otherLiam 9:55 PM: "That’s our situation, yes."
Slinky stinks 9:55 PM: "Hmm"
otherLiam 9:55 PM: "That’s why I’m still somewhat on the fence."
ADULT_LINK 9:55 PM: "hey, speaking of masks"
otherLiam 9:55 PM: "But it seems like the majority want to save him."
Slinky stinks 9:55 PM: "Well, if we let moon die, he Might get Patremized"
ADULT_LINK 9:55 PM: "which ones do we have avaliable to us?"
otherLiam 9:56 PM: "I mean… all of them, save the Postman’s Hat, I’d assume."
Slinky stinks 9:56 PM: "But if we don’t, nocta can do its thing faster"
otherLiam 9:56 PM: "Why do you ask?“
ADULT_LINK 9:56 PM: "just trying to think ahead"
Jos 9:56 PM: "i think nocta wouldn’t go faster if we do things without he noticing"
ADULT_LINK 9:56 PM: "figure if theres any masks we don’t have, might be a good idea to try to get them"

[2:21 PM] Slinky: "Prod can talk normally"

[2:24 PM] Slinky: "That's actually hella useful"
[2:25 PM] The Producer: "It depends on the person"
[2:25 PM] The Producer: "or entity, or whatever"

[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"
[7:16 PM] SHADOWLINK: "READY OR NOT"
[7:16 PM] SHADOWLINK: "HERE I COME"
[7:16 PM] SHADOWLINK: "YOU CAN'T HIDE"
[7:17 PM] Xenquility: ""BUP 10:59 PM: "i am from every ID""
[7:17 PM] SHADOWLINK: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIXyKmElvv8"
[7:17 PM] CAT: "PLEASE WONT YOU PUSH ME FOR THE LAST TIME"
[7:17 PM] CAT: "LETS SCREAM UNTIL THERES NOTHING LEFT SO SICK OF PLAYING I DONT WANT THIS ANYMORE"
[7:17 PM] Xenquility: "oh shit comment from silentdork on that video"
[7:17 PM] Xenquility: ":dream:"
[7:17 PM] SHADOWLINK: "ebic trollin"
[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.

[7:59 PM] IIIII: "Chummers"
[7:59 PM] IIIII: "this is an ugly place"
[7:59 PM] Xenquility: "Is it green?"
[7:59 PM] ADULT_LINK: "ugly place?"
[7:59 PM] IIIII: "only through a camera"
[7:59 PM] Slinky: "Oh"
[7:59 PM] Slinky: "Green Parallelos gang"
[8:00 PM] Xenquility: "@ARGcat we were right about the "green" place gg"
[8:00 PM] Xenquility: "What is it like otherwise?"
[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."
[8:04 PM] ADULT_LINK: "sounds rough"
[8:04 PM] ADULT_LINK: "you holdin up ok?"
[8:04 PM] Slinky: "Yo skoom"
[8:04 PM] IIIII: "There is not internet connection here either, most of my devices have no use. For a man who used to like to present himself as something of a grey hat hacker, this is my personal hell XD"
[8:04 PM] IIIII: "well"
[8:05 PM] IIIII: "maybe not MY personal hell but it is certainly hellish"
[8:05 PM] Slinky: "Have you seen any white kids? Like, full white little persons"
[8:05 PM] Slinky: "Or person"
[8:05 PM] Xenquility: "racism back at it again"
[8:05 PM] CAT: "white kids"
[8:05 PM] Xenquility: "my god"
[8:06 PM] Jos:Have you seen strange white glowing entities"
[8:06 PM] Xenquility: "Have you been uh"
[8:06 PM] Xenquility: "Awake lately?"
[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?"
[8:08 PM] Slinky: "Whoops that sent way too late sowwy"
[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] Slinky: "oooh that makes more sense"
[8:10 PM] IIIII: "Splended I have leveled up their pokemon for them"
[8:10 PM] IIIII: "I hope they do not notice"
[8:10 PM] ADULT_LINK: "interesting, you dont know whos discord this is?"
[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] Pako: "really?"

[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"

[9:04 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"

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.

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."

[8:11 PM] Xenquility: "where SKM was im guessing"
[8:11 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: There is a sign for whatever forest this is, but you can't read it for no logical reason. It appears blurred to you. Inaccessible."

[8:11 PM] Slinky: "Can someone take my player place? I need to do a thing 4 my mom"

[8:28 PM] Xenquility: "Has certain rituals they follow every day"
[8:28 PM] Xenquility: "Keep their thoughts and discoveries in a journal"

[8:30 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Max awakes in a cold sweat. The pale moon reflecting off his dark, drow skin as it beams through the window of the inn. He had been on the trail of his mark for some time now."
[8:30 PM] Xenquility: "it's just the journal thing that makes me think SKM"
[8:30 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Peering out the window, he can see a fog rolling into town."
[8:30 PM] Xenquility: "Alright so last time the fog killed us"
[8:31 PM] Xenquility: "And I have no clue if Fey Ancestry would save us here"
[8:31 PM] ARGdov: "hey, DM, we good?"
[8:32 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: A sudden pounding on the door splits the still air. The elf can easily make out the shadow of someone looming outside his door. One could only guess. "Ye awake, sir? Trouble's a brewin'.""

[8:36 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The individual on the other side is human, of average build and height, maybe a little portly. Long hair is tied back, and a short beard covers his face. You recognize him as the proprietor of this place, Fishery Nook & Inn."
[8:36 PM] ARGdov: "Im heading out in a few minutes and probs wont be availible the rest of the night guys"
[8:36 PM] ARGdov: "sorry"

[8:39 PM] Xenquility: "Is the way away from the fog the same as our mark?"
[8:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You skim through your journal quickly, reminding yourself of your mark. A rebel leader, same ones who plan on attacking, named ---------."

[8:41 PM] Slinky: "Hemlo"
[8:41 PM] Slinky: "How are we doing"
[8:42 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The innskeeper sees your black journal. His skin turns pale, and he shuffles off, noting that you are an assassin, and that your coin is tuned to the one who leads the opposition. A hard place to find oneself in."

[8:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you turn to face the enemy, you happen upon a void where the space of a human should be."
[8:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The void is filled with the presence of two glowing, white, eyes. They stare beyond oblivion."
[8:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The head shape has an upward arc, almost hoodlike."
[8:51 PM] Xenquility: "How close are we?"
[8:52 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You are within firing range of your bow, not close enough to strike with a sword from where your standing. You could easily approach."

[9:00 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you ponder your next move, something catches your eye on the other side of the street. Across from you, beyond the creature, is a girl. A young girl, you've never seen before, with short black hair, and some sort of purple hooded cloak you've never seen before."

[9:02 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: It searches."
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "Might not be for us"
[9:03 PM] otherLiam: "as a rogue, you can snipe it, then cunning action hide again after repositioning"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "True"
[9:03 PM] otherLiam: "it's why i fucking hate rogues as a dm"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "Can use sneak attack with ranged weapons too"
[9:04 PM] otherLiam: "yes"
[9:04 PM] otherLiam: "wait"
[9:04 PM] Xenquility: "Also I haven't played dnd in quite a while but you get advantage as long as they can't see you, right?\"
[9:04 PM] otherLiam: "Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table."
[9:05 PM] otherLiam: "I believe attacking a target from hiding has advantage, yes."
[9:05 PM] otherLiam: "but that's a question for the gm"
[9:05 PM] Xenquility: "also im just using what the character sheet says here" * Sneak Attack • PHB 96 "
Once per turn, you can deal an extra 2d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack with a finesse or ranged weapon if you have advantage on the attack roll. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 ft. of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. "
[9:06 PM] Xenquility: "Alright, snipe the guy while he isn't looking and if successful (obviously) add sneak attack"

This light cuts a path through the fog."

[9:29 PM] Xenquility: "(Depending on who "You" are)"

[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"
[12:45 AM] Xenquility: "deepestlore.png"
[12:45 AM] Xenquility: "got a screenshot but not the original"
[12:45 AM] otherLiam: "same"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "in fact"
[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"
[12:47 AM] ReturnedFaith: "im actually not sure what youre talking about"
[12:47 AM] ReturnedFaith: "so no"
[12:47 AM] Xenquility: "wow okay"
[12:48 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but again, I can tell you this"
[12:48 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I work alongside SHADOWLINK and TheLaw"
[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"
[12:58 AM] SHADOWLINK: "Thanks Producers for letting me find myself for a minute."
[12:58 AM] SHADOWLINK: "Now it's time for you to go."
[12:58 AM] SHADOWLINK: "You're too much help."
[12:59 AM] ReturnedFaith: "ok thank you"
[12:59 AM] SHADOWLINK: "Get out."
[12:59 AM] SHADOWLINK: "Here's a hint for you fuckers"
[12:59 AM] SHADOWLINK: "the statue is an amiibo"

[12:59 AM] Xenquility: "dumb way for nintendo to profit off of retards"
[1:00 AM] otherLiam: "ohhhh the little toys that you can throw at smash bros"
[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."
[1:03 AM] Xenquility: "https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fvgboxart.com%2Fresources%2Flogo%2F12370_amiibo-prev.png&f=1&nofb=1 (For future reference bup posted this to compare to the rune)"

[1:05 AM] SHADOWLINK: "So do I."
[1:06 AM] Xenquility:What do amiibos do? Do they STORE information? -4 layers of lacking chromosomes"
[1:06 AM] otherLiam: "See the confusing thing about you is you’re giving us information despite presumably being against us."
[1:06 AM] Xenquility: "okay so apparently amiibos can only save data for one game at a time"
[1:07 AM] Xenquility: "and the raven has gone from DnD to fucking minecraft"
[1:07 AM] SHADOWLINK: "((The image “0621121213151514.gif" is sent))"
