The story so far...

In the previous section, the players managed to contact SKM after several months of radio silence. Here, he revealed that he was indeed Liquidsaint. He also assisted the players by helping them enter back into the Lunar Children Forums where The Ocarina was being housed. As Undecim Nocte slowly approached, the players chatted with Jarilo - an older cultist who was quite friendly despite being a Lunar Child. Unfortunately, this pleasant conversation was cut short when it was revealed that Jarilo had actually been killed and ascended by his son, Hunter. When Undecim Nocte arrived, the players enacted their plan. Through multiple submissions of the "Song of Soaring" and the "Stone Mask", the players were able to free Tyler from the cult's clutches as he escaped to Australia. There were still several mysteries left unanswered, however. Tyler's Crescent Moon Necklace was now somehow once again in his possession - something that the Lunar Children imply Hunter is responsible for. Also, Hunter and Matt have both gone missing.

Unfortunately, Tyler wasn't out of danger quite yet. Upon arriving in Australia, Carla locked him in her home. Here, he noticed many oddities such as bloody masks - all signs that Carla was indeed the former Lunar Child named "Lunaris Draco". She also took away all of his electronics and restricted him from speaking to anyone. However, on New Year's Eve, Tyler managed to sneak onto her laptop and contact the players. This would quickly prove to be a mistake, though, as Regiminis seemingly began using this connection himself. Afterwards, Tyler went radio silent. Over the next few months into the new year, Drowned contacted the players with more bad news. He revealed that both he and SKM were now in Regiminis's possession. Regiminis was intending to give them to Tenebris in exchange for John's spirit. Tenebris seemingly desired Ben's spirit for power and SKM's body for a physical vessel. Drowned explained that Regiminis desired John's spirit because John was his conduit. A conduit is someone who died as a result of someone else's ascension. If an ascended spirit uses a conduit, they supposedly gain more power.

Drowned also takes the time to share more of SKM's past. In 2011, the task that SKM preformed to gain the Lunar Children's trust was to travel to The Orchard. Here, he was instructed to do two things - record the various masks that were left there and recover a missing copy of the Libro Lunarus. While exploring the abandoned complex, SKM learned that this copy of the Libro Lunarus had supposedly been stolen by Alex in 2010. He also learned that Matt killed off most of the Moon Children shortly afterwards, transcending Alex and Spencer in the process. After carrying out the tasks above, SKM returned the Libro Lunarus to the Lunar Children. For his efforts, he was granted a Gas Mask. However, Drowned also shares an alternate version of events - one in which SKM was also gifted the Libro Lunarus. Drowned claims that this alternate version of events was somehow created by Tenebris by changing the timeline. Regardless, back in the present, both SKM and Drowned were still in danger. Thankfully, the players were able to rescue SKM. Sadly, Drowned wasn't so lucky.

Before Drowned was given to Tenebris, he revealed one final startling truth to the players - Regiminis was actually Tyler's missing friend, Kevin - the same Kevin who infiltrated the Moon Children under the name "Insidiae" in 2010. Afterwards, the trade is made, making both Tenebris and Regiminis far more powerful...

Your old friend, malagasy, https:\/\/translate.google.com\/#mg\/en\/kevi

<--- Click for Video Transcript

The video begins with a distorted sound playing in the background as we see several shots of Regiminis smiling. Text begins to appear over a video of Regiminis.

"Hello there old friend. Do you remember me? NO? It's fine. There is a lot you don't remember."

The video cuts to a clip from "I am doing just fine" with Regiminis faintly over the footage. We can hear what sounds like a distorted reversed song.

"How did you enjoy our quality time? Shame you couldn't stay for the festival."

A clip of the festival from Majora's Mask is played while we see the date "11/11" appear on screen. Regiminis returns and more text appears.

"Some brats decided to cut our time short."

The Internet Detectives logo briefly flashes on screen. Regiminis appears once again.

"Don't bother with them. You are being misguided from your fate."

Many images from Majora's Mask quickly flash on screen. We see the following:

-An image of Tatl with the name 'Rosa' above it. The Harbingers is written below.
-An image of Tael with the name 'Ifrit' and 'The children' and the Skull Kid with 'Tenebris' and 'Ifrit' written.
-An image of Link playing the Oath to Order with 'The Link' written.
-An image of the Stone Tower Giant with the name 'Hank' written.
-An image of the Great Bay Giant with the name 'Spencer' written.
-An image of the Snowhead Giant with the name 'Alex' written.
-An image of the Southern Swamp Giant with the name 'Douglas' written.

A clip from Majora's Mask plays of Link entering the moon. Text appears:

"The moon shall devour the link. And then give us her kingdom."

A faint image of BEN appears over the footage. We then see Link getting pulled into the air as Skull Kid lies on the ground. The name 'Matt Hubris' appears over him.

"Oh and I nearly forgot to tell you."

Footage of the Happy Mask Salesman angrily shaking his head appears.

"I made a trade with the salesman."

The moon from Majora's Mask faintly appears. Regiminis reappears along with more text:

"I didn't give him anything too important."

BEN briefly flashes on screen. The Elegy Statue also appears briefly. We cut to an image of Tenebris with the Elegy Statue behind him.

"But thanks to that trade he let John go."

We see clips of John's burned house.

"I KNOW YOU REMEMBER JOHN."

A distorted image of Regiminis's face appears.

"Once you are back home. You will be watched much more closely."

We see a clip of Police cars. The video cuts to someone approaching a door and looking out a window. We hear 'Who's That Knocking' by The Genies begin playing.

"And if you answer the door you just might see him."

We see Doug's face appear. The video goes black before showing Regiminis's distorted face once again. A quick series of phone dials is heard.

"When we come for you again do not run. DO NOT TRY TO HIDE."

Regiminis approaches the camera and the video cuts to black.

"Come play with us."

We hear two SSTV signals which hide images within them. A phone dial is also hears which translates to the following:

"Dont listen to him, its me john, his mask, ill talk later"

A distorted image of either John or Rosa appears just before the video ends.

Summary

• This video contains a threatening message from Regiminis.
• Regiminis reveals that he was the one who was filming Tyler on Undecim Nocte in "I am doing just fine".
• Several characters are associated with characters from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask:
Rosa - Tatl, Link's fairy companion.
Matt - Tael, Rosa's companion. Also, the Skull Kid.
Tenebris - Majora, the main antagonist.
Tyler - Link, the protagonist.
The Four Giants - The in-game versions of The Four Giants.
• For some reason, Kelbris is named "Hank" in this video.
• Regiminis believes that Tyler will be sacrificed to or consumed by Luna, which will grant the Lunar Children her "kingdom".
• Regiminis says that Tyler will soon be arriving home and that the cult will continue to watch him.
• John's spirit manages to briefly speak out and informs the players that he'll speak again soon.

With John's spirit back in his possession, Regiminis used his newfound power to leave Tyler a very threatening message. In the video above, Regiminis directly addresses Tyler and informs him that the Lunar Children are indeed still watching him. He also implies that he was the one who recorded Tyler in the video "I am doing just fine" on Undecim Nocte 2015.

Interestingly, several characters within the ARG are compared to characters within The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Some of these were already known, such as Tyler being Link, Rosa being Tatl, and The Four Giants representing their in-game counterparts. However, Matt is given two different characters to represent him - Tael, Tatl's brother, and the Skull Kid - a child-like creature who is being used and manipulated by the game's main antagonist, Majora. Majora itself is seemingly a stand-in for Tenebris, implying some sort of deeper connection between Matt and Tenebris...

It's also worth noting that when The Four Giants are being shown, Kelbris's name is replaced with "Hank". This is possibly meant to imply that "Hank" is Kelbris's real name and "Kelbris" was just one he adopted for the Moon Children.

As the video nears its end, Regiminis warns Tyler that the Lunar Children, Doug, and the local authorities are still watching him. However, as the footage goes silent, a phone dial begins to play - one that contains a secret message from John himself:

John

"Don't listen to him. It's me, John. His mask. I'll talk later."

Despite being actively used as Regiminis's conduit, it seems John can still briefly reach out and contact the players. Also, this video's description contained a cipher that decoded to reveal a new page on Lunarchildren.com - "https://lunarchildren.com/?p=324". Unfortunately, this page was password-protected and could not yet be accessed...

After the release of the video above, things were relatively quiet for some time... However, on April 1st, 2016, the players were surprised to find that a new post had been made on the Lunar Children Forums - a thread titled "Whats going on in here?" posted by the Lunar Child SheepDog.

Whats going on in here?

I know you people are in here so just be chill about it and let me know whats happening, I have some information for all of you right now that you might wanna hear.

Sheepdog, the relatively casual Lunar Child seen previously on the Lunar Children Forums, had somehow been given access to the "Controller" board. They were now offering to give the players some important information...

Confused, the players asked how Sheepdog was suddenly able to post on the forums once again.

Im not really sure how I have managed to get access to this place while no one else can, but I see you guys used that power that is held here a bit. Things have been.... going... I guess you could say, here at the lunar spire still despite various screw ups and the hole 11/11 flop. But your last song actually did something goodish and badish both both sides standards. Tyler was brought through one of the parallelos and then back to the fishery, idk exactly what happened to him there but he proceeded to run right back to his house. He is held up in there now and some of the children are trying to keep an eye on him but something there wont let us get any closer, something kind of fuckin freaky to say the least. We can hear him in there in his house but we can't see him. But I am sure he is ok for now.

Sheepdog isn't entirely sure why they're able to access the Lunar Children Forums. Regardless, they claim that Tyler is now back home and is currently locked up inside his trailer. Also, something "freaky" is supposedly keeping the Lunar Children from getting too close to Tyler...

Confused about Sheepdog's willingness to share information, the players ask if they agree with the cult's actions. They respond:

I never have in terms of the torture and blood sacrifices. But the way they treated this Tyler guy was just a bit much. We nearly killed him multiple times, and that point where we held him in a trunk for a couple days was going overboard.

Sheepdog claims that they don't agree with the Lunar Children's more violent and barbaric practices and notes that they locked Tyler in a trunk for several days when he was kidnapped last year.

Later that same day, a seemingly non-canon April Fools update began... This involved the discovery of a password-protected zip file titled "the start of it all in 2 letters.zip". After several guesses, the players discovered the correct answer - "WL", which is derived from the player Wolfcat's Within Hubris-based webcomic called "Weenie-Licked". As such, this zip file was opened to reveal "the truth.avi.wmv.jpg.png.png.rtf.txt.png.png" - a distorted screenshot of this very webcomic. The players later discovered another file titled "father why have you forsaken me.gif", which was another corrupted Weenie-Licked panel - this time featuring a weenie dog character named "Lord Big Hank Douglas IV".

Once the April Fools festivities were over, normal updates resumed on Lunarchildren.com. The players once again attempted to enter the locked "324" page discovered via the upload of "Regiminis". However, upon checking the page, they discovered that it had been briefly renamed to "https://lunarchildren.com/happybirthday".

After this discovery, the front page of the site saw several new announcements from a familiar face - Douglas P..

TERMS

Posted on April 1 by Douglas P.

Doug seemed to be hinting towards something on Lunarchildren.com that the players had yet to discover... Upon checking the Terminology pages, the players found that there was now a new term listed - "Auxiliatis".

Auxiliatis

One of the Absque Fascie from before the time of mankind. Her most sacred assistant, responsible of the deliverance of her testament unto man in the early times, and the movement of her word throughout her own parallelos, on her behalf. He could move all things in her stead, the only thing he could not move on her behalf was anything comprised only of the essence of her power alone.

At the sacred time when Luna was to send an ambassador of her parallelos to help guide humanity to her light, he was commanded by Luna to perform this task. But he refused, desiring to partake in the ways of the overworld more than his obligation to Mother.

“Why and wherefore dost you bid this of me? I hath served thee and thy kingdom since my creation. I wished to partake for but a moment in the ways of man, and yet here you trap me to this right? Nay, give this power not to me but unto my brother.” -Auxiliatis response to Luna’s final request of him quoted from the Libro Lunarus

Furious with his disobedience, she cast him to the parallelos he desired. Only for him to be subject to eternal servitude of all those who dwell in it. That being said, he will give his service to us, but for his treason unto mother his name alone is considered taboo. Call upon him only in times of absolute desperate need, or when invocation of True Father Patrem or Tenebris Link is not possible, and only with the permission and observation of an elder member or Father Vincent.
