The story so far...
In the previous section, the cycles found on Youshouldnthavedonethat.net became more chaotic and artificial. Through the site's glitches and hidden messages, the players discovered that Alex, Kayd, and Thomas were all involved with the Moon Children to some degree. They also learned that Tyler himself was a member of the cult - in an alternate timeline, at least. Amongst the chaos, a familiar face greeted the players - Jarilo. Upon chatting with Jarilo, the players learned that his real name was actually Jeremy. He was once good friends with Hank and later left to join the Lunar Children alongside him. After Hank ascended Ben, Jeremy's brother - the Old Man - was tasked with carrying the Majora's Mask Cartridge - the same cartridge that he would later give to Alex.
Jeremy informed the players that the Kevin they were seeing on Youshouldnthavedonethat.net wasn't another spirit from 2010 - he was actually the present-day Regiminis, who was attempting to break into The Truth and take what was inside for himself. Jeremy explained that The Truth contained a portion of Luna's power. Once the players eventually access The Truth, they will be able to use this power to choose to kill Tenebris's current amalgamated state and end the website's repeating cycles. Jeremy also explained that certain individuals were currently attempting to enact some sort of ceremony to summon Luna. This ceremony involved three things - The Four Giants, Tyler, and a "mask" that was to be placed upon Tyler. Once this "mask" is placed upon Tyler, he will act as a sort of "waypoint" for Luna. At this point, The Four Giants will open the way by which Luna will descend and presumably destroy everything.
As the final cycle drew near, the players were contacted by a young cultist named Hope. Her exact role in all of this and how exactly she was speaking on Youshouldnthavedonethat.net is unknown. Afterwards, the website finally opened. Here, the players were able to contact Kayd and obtain the log-in information from him. With this, they were finally able to access The Turht. Within it was "The Killswitch" - the piece of Luna's power that allowed the players to finally put an end to Tenebris's game.
With the Killswitch activated, the cycles on Youshouldnthavedonethat.net came to an end. Simultaneously, Regiminis's attempt to control the website and all of those trapped inside of it is implied to have backfired, leaving his fate unknown. Before departing, Kelbris apologized for his past actions. Here, it's revealed that he and his wife Diana actually adopted Mat. However, when their son Ben was born, he neglected Mat. It seems that Hank's goal in all of this was to simply reunite with his late wife. However, due to Tenebris's trickery, he instead caused untold amounts of suffering.
With the chaos of Youshouldnthavedonethat.net finally coming to an end, the players were left to pick up the pieces. The intertwining cycles and alternate timelines left many details unclear - along with the fates of several different characters. Regardless, the ARG was about to enter into a new era - one with new friends, new foes, and new mysteries.

Story
After the chaotic events involving Youshouldnthavedonethat.net's revival, everything went quiet. Throughout the first month of 2017, there were no updates to be found. This gave the players time to recover after the confusing events of the previous arc. They weren't entirely sure what events were taking place in the present and which ones were simply "memories" from 2010. Additionally, due to the many different cycles involved, it was difficult to determine what events actually took place in the players' timeline and what was simply a remnant of some alternate timeline.
Either way, if they wanted answers, all they could do now is wait.
On February 4th, 2017, Johnisdead.com underwent a familiar update. The site now once again featured "Foggyworld248.jpg" and "background.mp3" - just like how it did originally back in 2015.


However, a few weeks later, this changed. On February 24th, 2017, the front page updated, now featuring a distorted image of someone's face overlaying a copy of the Libro Lunarus. The page was also now titled "construction".


The significance of the Libro Lunarus in this situation is unknown. However, the fact that Johnisdead.com is presumably undergoing some sort of construction is worrying... Despite the destruction of the Lunar Children and the activation of the Killswitch, it seems as though there are still malicious forces at play.
This notion was supported by a Silentdork upload on March 24th, 2017:
The title of this video consisted of glitchy empty ASCII characters. These blank spaces had the unique property of reversing various strings of text when copy-pasted. As for the contents of this video, it featured a simple message:
Tenebris
"Still here."
Later on, a second video was uploaded to Silentdork - "So many still trapped".
This video features a dark screen as @90 by K3v1n plays. This coupled with the video's title seems to suggest that there are still countless souls trapped within Johnisdead.com... Additionally, the video ends with a faint image of the Libro Lunarus surrounded by some masks.
Afterwards, one final video was uploaded - "4/23/2017 ebuTouY".
Disturbingly, this video featured audio of someone drowning - most likely Ben...
Around this time, the players decided to move from Skype over to a different platform - Discord, creating the "Internet Detectives Discord Server" - a new hub for players.
On April 3rd, 2017, the players received two more videos from an unexpected source - Vincent Adams' YouTube channel. The first of these was "show me", which unfortunately was not archived. This video simply contained footage of someone's room while the Lunar Children's theme, "Show Me", was played on a piano - likely by Vincent himself.
The second video was "Foolish child":

Description
march 19th 2015 Did you think you would remember this?
<--- Click for Video Transcript
This video begins with Vincent recording himself outside at night.
Vincent: "(Sigh) Just found my phone on the sidewalk. I don't know what the hell's going on here, what with the waking up in the park bullshit and the kid and the website... those people. (Indecipherable)."
Vincent approaches a building and opens the door.
Vincent: "Stupid..."
Patrem's voice can faintly be heard in the background:
Patrem: "Foolish child, did you think you would remember this?"
Vincent: "...Get on my laptop."
Vincent enters his room and the video ends.
Summary
- This video contains old footage from March 19th, 2015.
- Vincent vents his frustration while finding his way back home.
Judging by this video's description, the footage within it was presumably recorded back on March 19th, 2015. This was the same day that Vincent awoke in a park and spoke with the players on Within Hubris. This video seemingly contains footage of him returning home after this event.
Activity once again dwindled for another month. However, on April 23rd, 2017, a new video was uploaded to Silentdork - "Going to kevins".
Description
oct 11th 2015 never made it shouldnt have went outside shouldnt have opened the door they got me
<--- Click for Video Transcript
This video begins with Tyler walking through a dark house. A timestamp appears in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen: 4/11/15. Footage of Rosa from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines can faintly be seen warning to "Not open it", as Tyler approaches a door. As he turns the knob, an image of Doug smiling can be seen while strange noises play. Tyler turns to his right as Doug attacks him. We are shown either Tenebris or Regiminis holding a sign that says, "SHE TOLD YOU NOT TO OPEN IT". The video cuts to black as a soft, distorted voice is heard.
"We need to lock him up. But (Indecipherable) question him first. Just don’t let him kill himself."
The video cuts back, now showing the inside of a dim server room. The timestamp now says ??/??/15.
Tyler: "This place is so fucking huge. (Indecipherable). I don't know who the fuck these people are. Hey, at least I found my fucking phone. Now if I can just find a fucking exit. What the fuck is this shit?"
The video cuts to black again before showing Tyler inside of a dark room with the camera pointed at a strange lamp. Loud, muffled drum can be heard in the background.
Tyler: "Okay, I managed to find something like a fuckin’ lamp. This is the only light. This is the only lamp. I don't know what the fuck these people are doing in here, it’s dark as shit. I think the exit might be through this way."
The video cuts to Tyler walking around in a dark room.
Tyler: "It’s always so fucking dark… I don’t think anyone’s in here. Not gonna risk turning the light on though. I think I’m almost out… What the fuck is this fucking…"
The video cuts, as evident by the audio.
Tyler: "Fuck fuck fuck, I’m going in fucking circles… Damn it, it’s so fucking dark. I’m fucking walking through walls or some shit. My eyes are fucking playing tricks on me cause I’m fucking teleporting or some shit through all these fucking rooms cause I keep seeing the same shit again and again-"
Tyler suddenly teleports into a new room, now staring outside through a metal grate on the wall.
Tyler: "Oh wait, wait, what? What the fuck? Fuck it, fucking solid metal fucking door! It’s fucking-"
A loud voice suddenly rings out as the screen flashes green.
“HURRY, STOP DOUGLAS-"
Tyler yells as the video cuts to black. Distorted voices can once again be heard.
"Alright, he's had enough outside time. Did you get Douglas up here? Good. Take the Harbinger’s Link to the interrogation chamber. I have a few questions. ((Indecipherable))."
We are shown some dim lights slowly gliding overhead as if someone were being transported through a hospital on a bed. The video then cuts back, now showing the inside of a freezer. Ice can be seen on the floor. Tyler's breathing is pained and he is obviously freezing.
Tyler: "Jokes on you, I happen to fuckin’ like the cold…"
Tyler begins beating on the door of the freezer.
Tyler: "Fucking pricks... fucking pricks, let me out. Let me out."
Tyler films the fans on the back wall of the freezer. As he does so, distorted voices can be heard:
"You’re wasting your battery."
Tyler: "Maybe I can get out through these vents..."
The video cuts as another distorted voice can be heard:
"Really, you should listen to yourself. Just this once."
The video cuts twice more as Tyler is seen lying on the ground in pain. Just before the video ends, someone enters the freezer and picks Tyler off of the ground by his hair.
Summary
- This video contains footage of Tyler's kidnapping back in 2015.
- Upon opening his front door to visit Kevin's house on October 11th, 2015, Tyler was captured by Doug.
- Tyler finds himself in a dimly lit room with what appears to be some servers or machinery sitting on a shelf.
- Tyler was trapped in a series of dark, looping rooms as a drum beat can be heard in the background.
- Tyler is once again seemingly confronted by Doug and is later taken to some interrogation chambers.
- Tyler is seen locked in what appears to be a freezer.
Judging by the video's description, the footage above shows what happened to Tyler after leaving his home on October 11th, 2015. For context, this was the date that Tyler visited Johnisdead.com and saw a message instructing him to visit Kevin's home. This video reveals that he was immediately attacked by Doug upon opening his front door. However, for some odd reason, a timestamp appears on the video that reads "April 11th, 2015" - the same date that Patrem shared a recording of the Lunar Children's "carnal actions" at the Fishery.
After this, Tyler finds himself in an impossibly large building. He is recording what appears to be some servers or computers on a shelf in a dimly lit room. The timestamps now reads "??/??/15". Afterwards, Tyler finds himself in a different location - a series of dark rooms. While Tyler explores this area, a loud drum can be heard in the background. After a while, Tyler realizes that he's looping through the same series of rooms over and over. Tyler is then seemingly warped to a new location - a small room with a metal grate. On the other side of the grate is daylight. However, Tyler is unfortunately unable to escape before he's seemingly confronted by Doug once again.
Interestingly, we hear a Lunar Child yell out "HURRY, STOP DOUGLAS-". This suggests that Doug was not fully cooperating with the cult. This lines up with the fact that The Four Giants are seemingly under Tenebris's command. Additionally, Doug has been seen taunting the Lunar Children throughout 2015 and 2016, so this lines up with his behavior around that time. Afterwards, another Lunar Child commands someone to take Tyler to an interrogation chamber. We then see Tyler locked inside a freezer. As he attempts to get out, a distorted voice says "You’re wasting your battery. Really, you should listen to yourself. Just this once.".
Despite the fact that this video was recorded back in 2015, the fact that Tyler was once again uploading seemed to imply that he was safe - or at the very least alive. This was a relief for the players, since this was the first time in nearly a year that the players had heard from him - aside from alternate timeline versions of him seen on Youshouldnthavedonethat.net.
Speaking of Youshouldnthavedonethat.net, it underwent a change later that same day. The site's front page now contained what appeared to be an entry from someone's journal:
I guess it's time to clear things up.
Hello. I don't know who's out there, and I'm not sure I want to. Kinda didn't think I'd ever feel the need to come here again, but I feel drawn to this place like there's unfinished business.
I'm going to tell you what's happened so far.
I'm not sure where to start, so it may take a while to get my head in the right place for this.
Maybe it would be best to tell anyone reading this that I used to be involved in the Lunar Children. They had their ways of molding young and impressionable minds. I was one of them and so were several of my friends. I wish I knew why we fell for all of it, but knowing wouldn't change anything. If we'd been smarter, maybe one of my friends wouldn't be comatose right now.
This text appears to be from another Lunar Child who managed to survive The Cataclysm in 2016. However, one of their friends is in bad shape and is currently comatose. However, how exactly they're able to post on Youshouldnthavedonethat.net is a mystery...
There was a big event where we were meeting a while back. I was not told exactly what was going on, being a lowly peon like I was. That was the day of the incident that ruined my life. There was a lot of people, too many people, and I wish I had known about the outsider guy they brought in sooner than I did. God, that day was the worst.
I'm really sorry if it sounds like I'm beating around the bush, I just don't know if anyone who poses a threat to me can see this. I've done well to stay pretty low so far, so who can blame me for being paranoid, right? So, once we made it out of there, a few of us stayed together for a while. I don't know how many actually escaped.
When it had all settled, it was just us hiding out in a motel. I couldn't go back to my parents, we were so far away and I didn't have the guts to return after running away like I did. When we ran out of money, we had to find another way. One of us was very sick from the start, I don't know what happened to make him like this. It got worse. One day, he was just unresponsive. We didn't have anywhere to keep him safe, so we sought shelter in the only place we knew of. We went back to the site of the disaster and hoped that whatever had caused so much pain was no longer there. It wasn't there.
I mean that in two ways. When we arrived, it was just untouched as if nothing had happened. We went inside, and it seemed like the morning of the incident. There was no ruin, no bodies. The sanctuary doors were still attached, like the blast that took them off was just a dream. How was that possible? Even weirder was that later that night, as we slept in the most comfortable pews we could find, I heard a voice that sounded impossibly close to me. I couldn't tell what it was saying, but it sounded familiar.
The Lunar Child mentions a "big event" that ended in disaster - one that seemingly destroyed their place of worship. This is likely referring to The Cataclysm that destroyed The Spire and most of the cult. However the Lunar Child writing this managed to survive along with a few of their friends. Unfortunately, one of them was very sick - likely the same friend who is currently in a coma. Interestingly, they seem to imply that some "outsider guy" brought in by the cult is somehow responsible for The Cataclysm. However, the meaning behind this is unknown.
The Lunar Child and her surviving friends stayed at a nearby motel for a while. However, they were running out of money and the condition of her sick friend was worsening. Hoping to find shelter, they returned to The Spire. Surprisingly, it was somehow completely in-tact as if The Cataclysm never occurred. Having no other options, the Lunar Child and their friends slept inside of it.
The other way that I meant that it wasn't there...well, that's harder to explain. We had to leave in order to find food. Well, I did. The others stayed behind. I wasn't gone for long. I came back to find some kids playing near the entrance to the holy place (why do I still call it that?), and that it was smoking ruins. I panicked. I ran to the entrance and screamed for the others. I was hysterical, and crying, and by the time I got to the door, I noticed that the place was just fine. I was met at the door and assured that everything was okay.
But the kids were still playing. They didn't turn to see me. They just had no knowledge that anything was wrong in the first place. Could they hear me? Were they real? Was I hallucinating the fire? I didn't know at the time.
Hell, I don't even know if I know now. Later, I came to find that no matter what, it's impossible to get the attention of anyone outside the building or its property from within it. In fact, I'm not even sure what they see when they look in its direction. Is it like it was before the incident? Is it just an empty lot? Whatever the case, it looked like we had a safe place to stay and no rent to pay for it.
About a week after deciding to stay there, we became much more comfortable with knowing we couldn't be discovered. I mean, we had lost everything and had no plans for the future, so at least one thing went our way. Turns out that getting a job is much harder when you don't have a home address. I left the property when those kids showed up again and asked what they saw when they look in its direction. They told me it was empty.
I didn't want to believe it, but at this point, who am I to complain?
The Lunar Child explains some strange properties of The Spire. From far away, the building sometimes looks like it's in ruin. However, once up close, it appears normal. Additionally, anyone outside of The Spire cannot see or interact with those inside of it. In fact, several childing playing outside of it seemingly cannot see The Spire at all. This gave the Lunar Child and their friends a sense of security because it meant they could not be found by any enemies. Eventually, they felt comfortable with their new home - despite its oddities.
Time passed pretty quickly after all that happened. It has now been a year since that day. I want things to get better for us. The others aren't too well. I don't have much more time to spend talking here, so if anyone is reading this, I might not be back after this entry. Many people I knew have died, and I'm scared for our friend's health. He hasn't spoken a full sentence in months. We can't take him to a hospital. We can't risk being found by surviving cultists, if there are any. We're the only three left that I know of, and I would rest easy if only I could know the Lunar Children name has truly died.
All I can do now is hope.
The Lunar Child and their two friends are the only survivors that they're aware of. However, their friend's condition is worsening. Supposedly, it's been at least a month since The Cataclysm took place and they're still mostly unresponsive.
However, many players took interest in the final line - "All I can do now is hope.". Many took this as a hint that these journals were actually being written by Hope - the girl who briefly contacted the players via Youshouldnthavedonethat.net's log-in screen. However, the strange experience of her somehow hearing the players' messages in her head and how exactly she has access to the site in the first place is still unexplained...
On April 24th, 2017, more of Hope's journals began uploading to Youshouldnthavedonethat.net:
It is 6:16pm. He has stopped responding to us entirely. No matter what, he just doesn't react. We have no choice but to take him to a hospital, and hope for the best. If you're out there, wish us luck.
Well, it's been about six hours since we arrived at the nearest hospital. He's in the care of people we can't trust, but we couldn't even feed him anymore, so what were we supposed to do? We can't spend the night in the open at the hospital, so we came back. I contemplated telling my other friend to stay there, and that she needed to be seen as well. I didn't. She insists that it's just a cold, and it might just be a cold. We just can't afford the luxury of assuming anymore. I'm still updating here, I guess. If anyone's out there, I sincerely hope we're not enemies. The one thing I'm afraid of now is the others being harmed. It might be a while until I say more here, it might not. I don't know anymore. The last six hours have been beyond stressful.
The condition of Hope's friend has worsened to the point where they had no choice but to bring him to a hospital. Hope's other friend, a girl, is also somewhat sick.
Earlier today, those kids came back. I walked up to them and they ran away. I guess it's for the best since we don't know what's in the rubble that they see. I haven't bothered racking my brain to figure out the deal with that, by the way. After a while you just learn to accept shit no matter how weird it is. And that brings me to this morning.
I woke up really early for some reason, and found that some of our stuff had been moved. Maybe I'm just imagining it because of the stress, but I could have sworn I left my hat next to the pulpit with the rest of my stuff. I found it in the pew next to me.
Anyway, we're going to the hospital to check on our friend. I hope he's okay.
Hope claims that odd things are beginning to happen around The Spire. In addition to the strange voice she heard during her first night back, her belongings are seemingly moving on their own now as well.
We never made it to the hospital. I am okay, she's okay. We just couldn't get close to the place, I can't explain it. Something was keeping us from it.
I left to go to the hospital by myself after that last entry, and ran the whole way. I know how unlikely it is that I'm being followed after so long, but even so, it's still really hard to feel safe out here in the dark with nobody else. I found that he had been put under for whatever reason, and has yet to wake up. They're not sure what's wrong.
I returned to find the place empty, which isn't very comforting this late at night. Some stray drawings were left lying around on her side of the sanctuary. I liked them a lot. She came back a short while later, turns out she just went out to get food for the night. I'm tired of being so paranoid all the time.
Hope and her friend attempted to visit their other friend at the hospital. However, something unknown was inexplicably keeping them from getting close to it... Later on, Hope attempted to visit the hospital on her own. This time, she was able to enter. Here, she discovered that her friend had been "put under" - likely for some sort of surgery... Meanwhile, upon returning to The Spire, Hope found that her other friend had drawn some pictures.
More journal entries continued appearing on April 25th, 2017.
Nothing much going on right now. Woke up at like 6. Really tired. You know how sometimes you can see something once and then it's everywhere? It's very irritating and I want it to stop. I swear I've seen this weird thing six times since I woke up.
Once, just ONE TIME, I would like to have a day where it feels like things are looking up. ONE DAY.
Okay, so I just woke up to the sound of a loud crash from outside, sounded like thunder but the sky is clear right now. Not amused. I think I'll see if she wants to go to the hospital with me later, kinda hope she does since I'm not a fan of walking there by myself. She's feeling a lot better now, so I guess I was just worried for nothing. Now we just need to know what's wrong with him.
Hope claims that she's seeing something "weird" several times upon waking up. Unfortunately, she doesn't elaborate on what this is. Additionally, she heard what sounded like lightning despite the sky being clear... Thankfully, her female friend seems to be feeling better at least.
I came back inside after a short walk, and it wasn't a great idea to even go out there in the first place since it's currently like 50 degrees and I didn't have my jacket. Anyway, I came back inside and decided to kill time by wandering around inside. I came around to a closet we haven't been inside of much, since we really have no need to be rifling around in them, but I was curious and it looks like it paid off. I now hold in my hands a small box, maybe the size of a shoebox, but locked. A three-digit combination lock built into it is keeping me out. I've tried several famous three-letter combinations, yet none have worked so far. I don't know anyone who might be good with this sort of thing, and taking this out into the open is an obvious invitation for trouble.
I looked at more of her drawings a few minutes ago. Very relaxing.
Wow, that was an incredibly obvious solution. I dropped the box on its corner and it popped right open! Also, I realize now that I typed "three-letter combination" but wow, I meant number. Never doing this that early again.
After breaking it open, I recorded the contents. Inside were some unopened letters, a Rubik's cube, six one-dollar bills, a newspaper clipping, $600 in twenties, a necklace, and a Bible. Score???
I like this necklace though, kinda like one I used to have. It would make a nice gift.
Hope searched through a closet in The Spire and found a small box locked with a three number combination. After breaking inside, she found some letters, a Rubik's cube, a bible, over $600, and a necklace. She seems quite fond of the necklace and notes that it would make for a nice gift.
On the way to the hospital, we talked about what was in the box. I gave her $300 and kept the other half for myself. We arrived and were allowed to see him, and he looked much better than when we brought him in. He must be eating again, which is great. He also spoke clearly to us, something he hasn't done in a long time. He says he doesn't know what's wrong with him and he understands if he's been a burden on us. God, I feel so horrible if that's the impression he got from all this. I just want him to be okay again, like he was before the incident. Maybe a little less serious. She drew a picture of him while we talked and gave it to him. She's so adorable. I'm glad he's speaking again. For the last year, he's just been wandering and talking mostly nonsense. In the last month, he stopped moving and speaking. I don't know what they did to make him better, but I'm glad they did. He hasn't been discharged yet, not sure how long it'll be before we can take him back. Or how long it'll be before he's back to the way he was before we brought him here.
Hope and her friend visited their male friend in the hospital. Thankfully, he's doing much better now. Hope notes that her male friend was a very serious individual before The Cataclysm. However, when he started deteriorating, he began wandering around and mumbling nonsense before eventually becoming unresponsive. He's now doing much better, though.
Unfortunately, this was the final journal entry uploaded, leaving the fate of Hope and her two friends unknown.
Afterwards, things went silent for quite some time. Additionally, players discovered that Lunarchildren.com had gone offline. It wasn't until November 11th, 2017 that the players saw a new update - Undecim Nocte 2017. However, due to the absence of the Lunar Children, the date was mostly quiet, seeing only a single upload on Silentdork - ".".

The video begins with Tyler playing a game, exploring the bottom of a massive pool. If the user turns on closed captions, strange captions appear.
Captions: "11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
Tyler: "...Will kill my character? I'm hoping for like a drain or something."
Captions: "this story is older than all of you and now you show up"
John: "A drain?"
Captions: "but so late"
Tyler looks up as a diving board comes into view.
Tyler: "I guess I never suffocate. Oh."
Captions: ". ...Filed missing persons report just before 2017 new years eve... Do you really think he is still alive? ...deaths all linked to members of local religious group Dimensions Where is Tyler? W h e n"
A drain comes into view. We can hear John begin to laugh as the video ends.
Summary

- This video was originally uploaded back on October 23rd, 2013.
- The captions on this video allude to the Lunar Children, how now seem to be either missing or dead.
This video contains some old gameplay footage recorded by John and Tyler. Interestingly, this video was uploaded back on October 23rd, 2013. While the video itself seems fairly mundane, turning on subtitles on YouTube revealed some hidden messages. "this story is older than all of you and now you show up but so late" seems to imply that the events of this story date back further than the players realize... There was also another message - "-filed missing persons report just before 2017 new years eve- -deaths all linked to members of local religious group-", which seems to reference the fact that many Lunar Children are now missing or dead.
However, there was also another ominous message - "Do you really think he is still alive? Dimensions. Where is Tyler? When?", which is seemingly calling into question Tyler's fate...
On November 12th, 2017, the players were hoping to spur on some more activity. However, they no longer had access to the Lunar Children Forums to utilize The Ocarina. Instead, they turned a source that hadn't been used for quite some time - the Pididoip email account on Johnisdead.com. The player ARGdov sent the email account a message that contained the "Sonata of Awakening" in an attempt to test out their powers. Shortly after this, the front page of Johnisdead.com update. The page was now titled "Comatose" and contained a distorted image of Tyler named "Awaken.jpg" and the audio "Awaken.ogg".


Seeing that the Pididoip account was indeed still active, the player ARGdov contacted it once again, believing that perhaps Tyler himself were somehow trapped within it.
Tyler, I hope I've managed to get your attention, I think I have, and I can only hope this message gets to you.
Where are you? What's happened?
