+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 1:39 AM: "Posting here will now be our main method of communication. We've been trying to talk to you guys on Discord for the past week or so, but everything we send out has been getting "absorbed" by that orange thing. It seems to be warded off from this place - likely due to our data bomb. By the way, nice going on that one Dov. You finally redeemed yourself."</span> | ||

+ | TheRealXenquility 2:56 PM: "FUCK YEAH BACK ON THE BOARD I mean hey man, good to hear from you again. Everyone okay on your end? Things ended pretty abruptly and not exactly sure whether or not getting kicked on discord physically harms things like ghostbabel" | ||
+ | ithmebin 2:56 PM: "What do you mean by "abthorbed"? ith that the reathon pothtth were being deleted?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 2:57 PM: "Also, apologies for the current state of the forums. I'm not sure why it's so troublesome now to create an account. Same with the slow loading. I believe it's a side effect of the data bomb. Either that, or something broke when Yuuki was trapped here. At the very least, it's keeping Moonman's scambots at bay. GB was able to make me an admin. I'm trying my best to get everyone in here, so bear with me." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:05 PM: "Oh good, it's working. By "absorbed" I mean just that - every PM, post, or call we attempt to send out just gets voided out completely and vanishes. Greth and I are still alive and kicking. GB's fine too, but they were pretty pissed to say the least. I'm more worried for our hacker friends. They have a very specific and complicated way they speak with us, and after the Discord got destroyed, their transmission device got "drezzed" as well. We've been trying to speak with them in any way we can through the hat, but that's easier said than done. What's been happening on your end?"</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:22 PM: "Well, johnisdead.com is back, and we've got access to our "Lens of truth" again (Janus VR). We've managed to access a seemingly digitzed version of the spire (Thanks to the help of a lawman) and have met some weird guys named "Stackoverflow" "dead" "child" "halicord"(?), and "Luna shard". One of our friends, DawnofaNewDay, has been "killed" and is trapped on the recreated WH website in an "emerald prison" guarded by these guys. These guys were the "keepers" of the spire, but seemingly got kicked out when Luna shard appeared. We also met some dude named "prominence". Just a question, I know there are multiple people that use similar lingo to SKM, but any chance SKM is one of the guys you're working with?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:24 PM: "ALSO, Patrem seems to be back, though he's... different, to say the least. Much more esoteric and vague. Less obnoxious and condescending, and seemingly obsessed with some guy relating to the "fourth world". Also said we'd be talking to a guy named Synchron at some point. He's "harbinged" out powers in the WH tapatalk." | ||
+ | ithmebin 3:25 PM: "Tho GB ith thtill alive? That'th good. I'm new here tho I don't really have much to talk about. I know that we found Dawn in the Emerald Prithon, and he can't get out. He'th not dead, he'th trapped in the Emerald Prithon. We tried to uthe the Thun'th Thong to thee if that would do anything, to alert Helioth or thomething, but all it theemth to have done wath get thith thing called the Luna Thard to appear in the Januth roomth." | ||
+ | ithmebin 3:29 PM: "Altho, you thaid that Wolfcat ith warded off by "thith" plathe. Ith it the entire forum, or ith it jutht here? Becauthe he pothted on the truth April 21." | ||
+ | Problematik 3:53 PM: "Is good to have comunication with you again." | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 3:59 PM: "Fuck, your Dawn's dead now too? How did that happen? As for Johnisdead, getting in there was our endgame goal. We're hoping that you will eventually be able to find Tyler in there somewhere, but looking at the size of that place, that seems to be easier said than done. Do you have any contact with that José guy? If anyone knows their way around that place, it would be him." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:59 PM: "As far as Patrems go, we haven't heard from our's in a long time. That's surprising, though - it's hard to imagine him being anything other than "obnoxious and condescending", but I'd advise against pissing him off. I'm speaking from experience here. Also, it would be unwise for us to reveal the identities of our hacker friends just yet. They're probably in the most dangerous situation than all of us, all things considered."</span> | ||
+ | ithmebin 4:02 PM: "i wouldn't thay "dead," but trapped in the emerald prithon. ith that the thame thing ath being dead?" | ||
+ | Itachi Uchiha 4:04 PM: "It's good to know y'all ok, specially for GB" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:08 PM: "Holy shit, nice to hear some good news on the Tyler front. We did find a /tyler page, but we aren't really sure what to do with it at the moment. It seems to be rather old though. Regarding the Jose guy, we haven't heard from him in ages. Honestly, we found a number of johnisdead pages that hinted at Yugi being related to the guy. Not sure if they're literally the same or if it's more of a same-person-different-timeline thing (Like our Greth and Moonman sort of deal). Either way, some shit seems to be up with Yugi. Not sure if they're dead, in danger, trapped, being-used-by-the-pumpkin-guy-as-a-mask, or what right now. All we know is that there were a series of redirects involving him that led to a cage, though we were to slow to save him from whatever entity wanted him." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:08 PM: "We aren't really sure of how Dawn died. He just seemed to "fight" with the IIIII guy, then turned into ||||| himself. Last we saw him in the emerald prison, he was told that he was going to die a "god's death". We still have reason to suspect he's alive though: If they let him fully die, a new dawn can arise." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:08 PM: "Patrem definitely seems like some fucked up shit has happened to him. Speaks very vaguely compared to how he used to speak. A lot more esoteric talk that we don't really understand yet too. We're working on organizing the shit from the past few months as we speak though so we can hopefully get back to some juicy theorizing soon." | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 4:37 PM: "FUCK I should have realized that sooner. José is definitely Yugi, it just makes too much sense. Since we no longer have Nocta breathing down our necks, I can finally talk about some of this stuff. As you know, Greth, Yugi, and I were the only surviving Internet Detectives. Me and Greth both wormed our way into the AO under different names, but Yugi went off and did his own thing. From what I remember, he basically presented himself to Nocta and used his Ocarina powers to negotiate with him. He did a lot of ass kissing and was able to convince Nocta enough to be let into the inner circle." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:37 PM: "The last I heard from him, he was about to use the Song of Time to go back to I think 2016 and grab the old servers at the fishery. If I'm remembering correctly, he had to enter an "alternate timestream" and begin some sort of aggregation. Him being José just makes too much damn sense. If you found pages relating to him on the site, that's probably not a good sign. I'm afraid Nocta or his watcher might have realized Yugi was playing them and decided to play him back."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:42 PM: "Yeah, he is uh, probably in a bit of a conundrum right now. That is, if he's even still alive. I mean, he did seem to succeed in his mission (we did have someone come and take the servers) but I'm not sure how long he survived after that. As far as I know after Tyler first contacted "Jose" he went incommunicado on him. Though, johnisdead.com was locked under "aggregating in progress" since august or so and we still don't really know what that meant (Possibly linking AO to johnisdead? Not sure at all really) Not sure if we ever had the chance of saving him, but whatever took him is pretty indignant that we'll never get him back. And on that note, any idea how we can get him back? P.S. he apparently had an important message to tell us" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:46 PM: "Also, going back to what you said earlier, is your Dawn dead too?" | ||
+ | Bastian 4:48 PM: "Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "I'm not sure about Dawn. I really have no info on his situation other than what you're telling us. However, in regards to both Dawn and Yugi - the only instance I've ever known of people being trapped within a virtual space is when they've been ascended, or killed and have had their soul trapped. (Essentially the same thing, to my understanding) The Lunar Children themselves claimed that the weird fuckery on Johnisdead were actually Deviums. I only hope that this isn't the case with our friends, but the optimist in me died long ago." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "As for Yugi's mission, I'm not sure why exactly Nocta wanted him to commence any sort of aggregation. Obviously it has something to do with the our timelines and the connected websites, but to what end? I have no clue. Yugi was only pretending to go along with Nocta's plan. Yeah, he was planning on grabbing the servers, but he had no intention of actually beginning the aggregation once he got a hold of them. I'm not sure how exactly we can get Yugi back. My only guess is to somehow find him through Johnisdead and make contact with him." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "Also, speaking of the "Pumpkin Guy"'s mask, GB has some info on that. I'll try to get it to you guys later." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "<i>"Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 4:56 PM: "I honestly just couldn't think of anything else to name this topic. Also, I don't know anyone named Luke myself. Where did this name come up?"</span> | ||
+ | ithmebin 5:02 PM: "Hith name came up on the webthite theveral timeth." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 5:04 PM: "Luke was (I'm guessing) a member of the lunarchildren who at some point went into the basement of the spire. Pretty sure he then proceeded to die or get trapped but all we know is that he shouldn't have seen the basement. They also mentioned someone named "Harry" going missing as well as two elder children (Not sure if the elder children went missing, they were literally just mentioned). This was all from a redirect found on the lunarchildren website." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 5:06 PM: "OH ALSO forgot to mention but the old Mason guy has come up a ton lately. We have no fucking clue why though. (Also x2, Patrem mentioned a bunch of weird shit about "authors" and their opposite which is "I" which is another mystery to us.)" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "When we went inside /spire , there was this note on the wall." | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "<nowiki>https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=218</nowiki>" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "<nowiki>https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=154</nowiki>" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "and this violet note mention Luke" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "<nowiki>https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=298</nowiki>" | ||
+ | Bastian 5:06 PM: "Also, you mentioned to contact José... how? in the past or present?" | ||

+ | TheOtherLiam 3:58 AM: "Hey, IA, good to hear from you. I’m wondering, do you have any idea who or what Pumpkinhead (the orange thing) actually is? It’s sort of hurting my brain to try and work it out. We dealt with it once, I think, but then Wolfcat came back and said he was just kidding about the whole thing. But now it’s real, again?" | ||
+ | TheOtherLiam 3:58 AM: "Is this thing just Wolfcat, and he’s just always been a sleeper agent? Or is it possessing Wolfcat? What manner of creature is it, or is it something we haven’t encountered before?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "<i>"Hey, IA, good to hear from you. I’m wondering, do you have any idea who or what Pumpkinhead (the orange thing) actually is?

+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "So, I'm still waiting on GB to fully reformat and sift through those files, but here's what I currently believe. That thing ISN'T Wolf, but it was using a version of Wolf as its "mask". As for exactly what it is, I have no idea. Greth confirmed that it was definitely the same thing he saw when you guys pulled him out of Subspace - the "orange entity" is how I believe he described it. Whatever it is, it did a good job of scrubbing your records clean of any mention of it." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "From what I can gather, GB restoring the Astral Observatory was what first allowed this thing to enter our parallelos, or realm, or whatever terminology you want to use. Apparently it didn't hide itself well enough, though, because you all were catching onto its tricks pretty easily. That's when it pulled the whole "I'm not real" shtick with someone else's help I think? It's hard to interpret these vague cryptic fuckers. It was apparently using Jos and your timeline's version of myself as unwitting pawns to pull this off, since they both thought it was just a joke as well. I'd HEAVILY advise against that mindset in the future. Us not taking this seriously enough and not thinking it was real was literally what got all of my friends killed." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "<i>OH ALSO forgot to mention but the old Mason guy has come up a ton lately. We have no fucking clue why though. (Also x2, Patrem mentioned a bunch of weird shit about "authors" and their opposite which is "I" which is another mystery to us.)"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "So, I've been putting off talking about this because it's really not something I like to remember, but it's something you all should know. I am the Gray Man. This may or may not be common knowledge already - I haven't really put that much effort in hiding it." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "In August of 2018, Nocta began picking up some strange transmissions. I looked into these myself which led to me meeting our hacker friends. I can't go into too much detail out of fear it may reveal who they are. All you need to know about them is that we began collaborating and together hatched a plan involving time travel. I used the Song of Time to go back to the year 2009 where I installed their original transmission device. After that I tracked down Mason." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I managed to get the postman's hat from Mason in exchange for a card. A fucking card. This is what keeps me up at night, because I have it on good authority that giving him that card may have been what killed him. I pray that isn't the case because I'm not sure how I'd live with myself otherwise." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I used Helper's hat to try and steer you guys in the right direction. Needless to say, having the Internet Detectives fall apart too early would have been a very bad thing. I may have been a bit harsh in my words, but trust me when I say I only had our best interests at heart. Then I found out that Mason had been trapped in a storm drain. I still don't fully understand how that happened, but I think that card may have cursed him. His blood was on my hands. I couldn't fucking save him in time." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "All I could think to do was keep him from fading completely. I was able to use another device given to me by our tech savvy comrades to capture his essence before it fully ascended, dissipated, or whatever the fuck there is to believe in now. This wasn't the intended use of this device, so I can't imagine it was a comfortable experience for him, but at the very least it kept him ""alive"" in some sense." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I was going to take him back with me to the present, but the Song of Time has some unfortunate limitations when it comes to that sort of thing. I couldn't just leave him behind in that prison for nine years, so I decided to stay with him. In the past. My hope was that, at some point, Mason would eventually regain enough of his sentience or consciousness or SOMETHING that would allow him to begin to form some sort of independence from myself and the device. I know it must sound like a long shot, but back then I was still a bit of an optimist." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "Mason actually did improve somewhat. After about 2-3 months, things around our room began moving on their own. I began having awful nightmares of drowning in sewage while a green face screamed at me. Scared the FUCK out of me at first, but I quickly realized that this was just Mason's way of speaking to me. All he could really do was project his memories and feelings onto me. I bared it, though. He was my responsibility. It's my fault he was in the position he was in, and I deserved every second of it. Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to say that Mason was acting malicious in any way. I don't think he could even control what he was doing." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "About a year later, I think it was sometime mid-2010, Mason began communicating with me more coherently. He couldn't talk or anything yet, but he was able cause the little light on the device to flash in Morse. Maybe once or twice a day, Mason would speak to me in simple, quick messages. Though it wasn't much, I think it helped both of us feel less alone." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "While what I was going through was nothing compared to what he was experiencing, being temporally displaced is a shitty fucking time. There's no way I could return to any family and friends - I can't imagine they'd react well to a shady looking decade older doppelganger of myself showing up. It was also hard to find any valuable entertainment. Memes and fads just lose their value once you already know what's going to happen. At the very least I was able to revisit some old stories I loved with a fresh mind and different perspective. To put it simply, I had a shitty time, but at least I didn't have a shitty time by myself." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "In early 2012, I think January, we were attacked. I don't want to say for sure, but I'm fairly certain it was Nocta who ambushed us. Back then he was still known as Regiminis. He seemed to be struggling, though. It was almost like he was weakened? Despite that, Mason and I really didn't stand a chance against him. I ran for days. I was exhausted, getting hardly any sleep. Any time I closed my eyes, I could hear his voice. Whenever I did manage to get some rest, I had constant nightmares about that fucking red smile." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I was at my absolute limit. Mason was begging me to leave him and escape with the Song of Time, but I couldn't just abandon him. Exhaustion finally set in and I couldn't run anymore. We were cornered, and I was out of options. I played the Song of Time and returned to the present, leaving Mason behind. I got him killed for a second time." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 11:48 AM: "I'm sorry. That became less of an explanation and more of a giant venting session. I just wish I could have done more for Mase. I'm still trying my damnedest to repay him. Hopefully this gives you all some more context. I'm not sure if it'll help out with whatever references you've discovered relating to him, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:31 PM: "Holy shit man. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I mean I doubt it's any solace, but one of the pages on johnisdead (/tomb) has an image talking about a man named mason entering the home of someone drowning (though as I'm typing this I'm really hoping this doesn't mean anything bad). So, is there only one gray man? We were under the impression that it was OUR CircleHunter that was the grey man. Or is this a both-of-you-are-the-gray-man-in-your-respective-timelines type deal?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 2:31 PM: "So with the mention of you guys having a Patrem and Nocta apparently at one point being Regiminis, did the Lunar Children "progress" the same way in your timeline? Obviously Regiminis turning into Nocta is different, but did your LC experience the "cataclysm" at the spire and shit like that? The device you used: would it happen to be a technomancer? We recently saw a video called IMG_4622 uploaded where someone followed some coordinates and seemingly activated a technomancer, only to take out a note from the grey ma- you, signed in 2009. And no, we have no idea what a technomancer is or what the video was showing us." | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 2:54 PM: "I can't really get into the contents of that video right now. However, I will confirm that I was the one who wrote that note, meaning that was most likely the same device. As for what a Technomancer is, I really have no idea. I'm not the tech-savvy one, I was just doing what I was told." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 2:54 PM: "As for my actions manifesting in your timeline... That's something I've been pondering over for quite some time now. It seems that our timelines are quite similar. In fact, through all my reading through your documents, I've found no discrepancies when it comes to the histories of the Lunar and Moon Children. In fact, I'd even go as far to say there's no differences at all up until 2011. I could always be wrong, though. The fact that I traveled back to the year 2009 falls in line with this. Events from our two timelines were the same up until then. I don't really know what this means, though - it could just be completely coincidental. Also, I don't know how your version of myself could be the Gray Man unless he just so happened to go back in time to the same year as me and carried out the same tasks that I did. I can't imagine why that would be the case." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 2:54 PM: "Also, to answer your question - yes, there was a disaster at the Spire that pretty much did the Lunar Children in. I'm not certain what caused it, though."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:07 PM: "Huh. We do know a bunch of time bullshit was happening back then (Mind you, not sure whether the discrepancies would've been in 2009 itself or in 2015 when we were interacting with 2009) and we also saw "timelines merging" (for lack of a better word) in 2016 when we interacted with the 2010 youshouldnthavedonethat.net (Also just noticed but the 6 year gap present in both situations might mean something :?: ) What differences were present in 2011?" | ||
+ | Bastian 3:12 PM: "At this point, how can we help you? Is there a way to contact with your friends? Or José? Or did you leave something for us in case of death in your time travel?" | ||
+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "<i>Huh.

+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "Well, the biggest one is the fact that your SKM was nothing like our SKM. We never knew the friendly, jokey hacker described in your records. Instead, our SKM was nothing more than a bloodthirsty, malicious entity that was constantly on the hunt for Max. Speaking of, Max is the second big change that comes to mind. We never spoke to any "Drowned" person - only Max. If I'm understanding correctly, Drowned was an entity consisting of both Ben and Max, right? Well, for some reason it was just Max for us. He was able to help us into Lunarchildren.com just in time to save Tyler." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "Another oddity - You guys apparently spoke to Helper on the Lunar Children forums? Yeah, we never did that. I don't know anything about any camera or suitcase. I also don't ever recall a "Regiminis" video being uploaded in our timeline. That's the only other major inconsistency I can think of off the top my head." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "<i>"At this point, how can we help you? Is there a way to contact with your friends? Or José? Or did you leave something for us in case of death in your time travel?"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:45 PM: "Right now we're still waiting for any sort of response from the "Hacker Group". (I'm not sure what else to call them) As for José, what traces of him did you discover on Johnisdead? That might be our only clue."</span> | ||
+ | Itachi Uchiha 4:12 PM: "We just know about <nowiki>https://johnisdead.com/temple/gates/cha ... se/prison/</nowiki>" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:28 PM: "Jesus, rather hard to imagine SKM as being bloodthirsty lmao. Even in the green place our SKM is more chipper than erik- ever. If you guys only ever spoke to Max, what happened to Ben in your timeline? Did he just like, stop existing after Tenebris got out of the mm cartridge?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:28 PM: "Regarding helper, I dont *think* we know the exact outcome of the suitcase and pictobox thing (Unless the current theory about the "5646" video is correct, which I really hope it is as it explains that situation [Though that situation might've already been explained and I just didn't noticed as was the case with the title of that video]). Speaking of which, did 5646 appear in your guys' timeline? And did Tyler claim he was in a coma during the truth arc? Sorry for the rather small questions here, just trying to work out the fine details." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 4:28 PM: "When it comes to Yugi, we were told that "he" (I'm assuming the orange guy? Not sure though, could be someone like Nocta) took Yugi to a prison, and that he had a message for us. The key to this was apparently "VIOLET", though what we didn't find until a few days later was that "VIOLET" was the key to a cipher on a completely seperate redirect. When we got to that redirect, it read something about activating a "mechanism" of some sort, and we were then led to the unlocked prison cell (Or at least a digital representation of it). However by that point Yugi was already gone, and whoever took him is very adamant that we'll never get him back. Only thing I can think of to help him right now is getting into the "archive" or "contact" page on the LC website, though those may pertain to something completely separate from Yugi." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 9:45 PM: "(Sorry this post is just going to be unformatted questions to answer in the future that I thought of while lying in bed) Do you have any idea of what layers are? The orange thing is apparently going to use someone else as his mask sometime soon (unless he already has) but we don't really know who he'll take (unless it was yugi). Any chance he might again impersonate someone like he did with wolf? And do we know if wolf is even alive somewhere in there?" | ||

The orange thing is apparently going to use someone else as his mask sometime soon (unless he already has) but we don't really know who he'll take (unless it was yugi). Any chance he might again impersonate someone like he did with wolf? And do we know if wolf is even alive somewhere in there?"</i>" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "I believe the only reason this "Pumpkinhead" was able to replicate one of us so well was because he was using a version of Wolf as a mask, essentially imprinting all of Wolf's traits and memories upon himself. If he somehow manages to take someone else as his mask, it's likely we'll have another investigation on our hands. It'd be a headache to say the least. What I don't understand is why your version of Wolf was effected. Normally this would imply that your version of Wolf was the one who was killed and used as a mask, but I don't think that's the case." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Also, I don't think Yugi is going to be used as anyone's mask anytime soon. If this really is Yugi's message, then the one who took him is the "one who killed the other detectives". A possessive, malignant bastard who'd rather rip you to shreds as quickly and bloodily as possible instead of all this sneaky masked fuckery."</span> | ||

It seemed to be pretty self explanatory at the time of upload but its actual meaning has either been lost to time or is just relevant again in a same-or-not-same way. Tried to connect some dots with it and the situation with the helper picto box and suitcase as there were a lot of similarities, though if this theory is correct the actual date of the footage in 5646 would've been on October 20/21 of 2019 (In the video we see Tyler take a camera out of a suitcase a picture of something, and that picture same picture was uploaded on the 20. And on the 21st, we find a channel called "Quiet Family", which based on the description of the video seems to be run by Max, who as far as we know was on Tyler's necklace). That IIIII guy referenced it a few times and posted it in our #dream channel on discord too which has led to some speculation that it was some sort of dream of the future? We still aren't really sure though." | ||

I don't want to invoke him like I may have done in the past with the eight of clubs - especially if he's currently active, which Yugi implied he may be."</span> | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 7:54 PM: "Pumpkinhead mentioned something about ascending to the "final layer" after reclaiming his mask but like with many things we don't exactly know what that means. From one of the janus pages there's a few gifs of text that seem to be from him (They're orange and correlate with some of the things said in the recent silentdork videos). One of them mentions that he made a deal with the "Dark One" (Can't remember if we've spoken of a dark one before off the top of my head but my closest guess would be Tenebris?) that averted our eyes, using two of our people for a performance that concealed him. I'd assume this is referring to the use of Jos and Circle during the "Pumpkinjack" to trick us but it could be referencing something else entirely or I'm just getting the people mixed up. It then mentions that we will save "Her" (Yuuki possibly?) and free "Him" (Yugi possibly?), after which he will regain his mask and truly ascend. We aren't entirely sure what this means but it makes it out to seem that carrying out our current plans will only lead to his success. Though, this could always be the case of it being an inevitability that we must face in the future." | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 7:54 PM: "Patrem mentioned "Authors" a lot when we last spoke to them which is another thing we're unsure of, though I'd assume he's referencing some sort of being above us that dictates what happens in our universe. He claimed the opposite of authors is the "I" which leads me to believe that the "authors" could be represented by layers, possibly being the fifth (IIIII). If Pumpkinhead's goal is to ascend to the "final layer" (Possibly referencing IIIII) then theoretically he might be able to literally rewrite our universe. This is really just an idea and I don't have much proof for it gathered but I thought it would be worth mentioning." | ||

Heard you're working with some of those new fangled computer wiz's. No clue why this Wolfcat is just a "dream" though I think IA said a few times he doesn't think it was our Wolfcat that's being used as a mask. Going to guess based on the Wolfcat saying that the orange guy made a deal with the "Trickster" followed by orange guys mentioned of dealing with "The Father" (As well as the orange guy saying he had an agreement with the "Dark One" in the SIEGUNSERE video) that he made some sort of deal with Tenebris. Any idea what "His hunger has been sated." means? I guess it could just be Tenebris but I'm guessing it's referring to someone who feeds off of us using Luna's power. And I'm guessing based on the 04/13/2020 that the Wolfcat has somehow escaped, and that the following post is referencing Yuuki? Orange man also mentioned Yuuki somehow meddling in the SIEGUNSERE video which I would presume is referencing this." | ||

+ | The past few months have been a little chaotic over on our side. I'm not really sure where to start, so I guess I'll just go over things one by one." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "First off, I've gotten by account back, obviously. At first, we had all thought that Pumpkinfuck just hijacked it through the same sort of techno-wizardry GB often utilizes. It turns out, things were a bit more severe than that. It appears that Pumpkinfuck snatched up some dead, offshoot version of myself and began using him as a mask, similar to how he did with Wolfcat... Judging by that Forerunners video, this version of myself was killed by Regiminis back in 2012." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "Honestly, that video really fucks me up - not only because I fucking die in it, but also because I vividly remember all of these situations (albeit a bit differently, of course). Overall it was some pretty heavy shit, to put it lightly. I'm relieved Mason is now at peace. To echo my apparently deceased counterpart, I can't thank you guys enough for that." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "In that same vein, GB is also incredibly grateful. Apparently they had pissed off Pumpkinfuck so much that he took them captive to shut them up. They've tried to explain to me what it was like but I can never really fully comprehend it. Needless to say, it fucking sucked, and it's thanks to you guys they got pulled out of there. (Though GB may have... difficulties conveying such gratitude.)" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "In less fortunate news, I've completely lost contact with Greth. A few days before he disappeared, he mentioned that he felt he was being watched, and was starting to become incredibly paranoid. I wanted to believe that it was just his nerves, but over here we no longer have the luxury of brushing these kinds of things off. I was going to offer him a place to stay, but he vanished before we could arrange anything. His recent uploads have been very worrisome, I fear he's starting to lose it. I'm planning on visiting him to make sure everything's okay. I don't think it's good for him to be alone right now. It's shouldn't be that hard of a trip to make - I know a shortcut."</span> | ||

+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "3. This is probably a rather useless question (which we may be about to get the answer to with Seth talking anyways), but is "Seth" just an alias of Mason or part of his name?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "4. (Assuming Seth is Mason which is what many things seem to point to) What led Seth to joining the Moon Children in your timeline? In ours, he was friends with Doug and was part of the Lunar Children. He eventually died, but the Gray Man scooped him up in some device and they travelled for a bit.

GHOSTBABEL
Name | GHOSTBABEL |
---|---|
Alias | Ghost GB |
Affiliation | Harbingers |
Gender | Female |
Status | Alive |
Relations | IsocelesAssassin (Ally) moonman31 (Ally) Mason (Ally) Spencer (Ally) |
GHOSTBABEL is an enigmatic entity consisting of code and data that first appeared during the Our Horizon Arc. Originally hailing from a separate ARG ran by Greth titled "I Am 979", GHOSTBABEL was once imprisoned by a malicious organization known as the " Wyndstrom Institution" before being freed by the players. The GHOSTBABEL relevant to Johnisdead originates from the Astral Timeline and was freed by IsocelesAssassin. Because of this, GHOSTBABEL feels indebted to IsocelesAssassin and has begrudgingly agreed to assist the players in keeping their allies safe and taking down the Astral Observatory and Lunar Children.
Contents
Story
I Am 979 Lore
GHOSTBABEL was born in 1976. It is unknown if they were a human or some sort of digital replica of one. Regardless, GHOSTBABEL possessed the unique ability to transfer her consciousness and physical body through computers. Described as a "psycho" by an by an entity from the I Am 979 ARG named "Cursor", GHOSTBABEL is implied to have tormented children using AOL chats in the 90s via her ability to traverse the digital realm. This caught the attention of the "Wyndstrom Institute" - a questionable organization that imprisons and studies entities similar to GHOSTBABEL. GHOSTBABEL was tracked down and trapped within a massive hard drive.
In 2016, Cursor attempted to free another entity named "Unit 979" by freeing GHOSTBABEL. In return for freedom, GHOSTBABEL spared Cursor and began reluctantly working with the players to stave off the Institute. GHOSTBABEL was, however, an impudent, cynical individual with a large ego and didn't appreciate the players' less-than-serious nature. After revealing that a primordial goddess named Tiamat had been released, GHOSTBABEL briefly departed as Cursor returned to the players. She eventually came back on the insistence of an "anonymous... benefactor", revealing that all but her and another entity had been returned to the Institute. This was likely due to the Institute making a deal with an extremely powerful enigmatic entity known as "The Collector" who owned an orphanage of sorts where they would place whatever powerful beings/things they collected. Whatever the "reset" that occurred entailed, GHOSTBABEL was not unaffected, as she now had no memories of Cursor.
In 2017, GHOSTBABEL aided players in finding multiple websites associated with an orphanage-esque organization called the "Wandering Hearts Residential Institution". Through various updates on the websites and a conversation with a girl named Hayden, it was revealed that The Collector was now in search of Unit 423 - a mysterious entity closely associated with BEN. In the last recorded I Am 979 update, GHOSTBABEL shared a court document with the players which mentioned a local businessman named "August Lucian" reporting the Wyndstrom Institute to the authorities. Detectives arrived to the Asylum and quickly noted that "Alfred Wyndstrom", the founder of the Institute, had been mistreating his patients and referring to them as "units". The implications of this are unknown, however the "Lucian" individual suggested the patients be rehomed - possibly hinting that he's an incarnation of The Collector. Claims from players also point towards August Lucian owning a shelter for orphaned children, though the source of these claims are unarchived.
Reluctant Alliances
At an unknown point, GHOSTBABEL was recaptured by the Institute. This was short lived, however, and she was quickly rescued by IsocelesAssassin. GHOSTBABEL was now indebted to him, a fact IsocelesAssassin made full use of. Near the beginning of the Our Horizon Arc, IsocelesAssassin sent GHOSTBABEL to aid the players with getting into the Subspace with some help from the Hacker Group. Still as rude and selfish as ever, GHOSTBABEL reintroduced herself to the players as a possibly malicious force that would have no problem turning on the group once their current arrangement ended. And, capitalizing on their troubles, she struck a deal to help save Moonman in return for the Helper's Hat from the Prime Timeline. This deal was mostly a success with both Moonman and the Helper's Hat being rescued from the Parallelos. It did, however, come at a cost, as the players' inability to act fast enough as well as the accidental posting of the "Elegy of Emptiness" caused Astralobservatory.net to go offline. Though GHOSTBABEL was able to rescue the site, it brought players closer to dangerous dimensions and allowed Pumpkinhead into Johnisdead.
GHOSTBABEL kept in frequent contact with the players, updating them on the Subspace plans and feeding them tidbits of information. She told the player Jos of their plans to use a Data Bomb on the "The Truth" board, and was able to upload a video of Greth to the M channel. Unfortunately, GHOSTBABEL's contact with the players was kyboshed with the coming of BUP, who took over her account. Just before April 20th, 2020, GHOSTBABEL regained access to their account. Here, they informed the players their Subspace plans were ready and shed some light on BUP's past as "Nocta". By now, GHOSTBABEL had adopted a lighter attitude with the players, respecting the progress they had begun to make. Alongside IsocelesAssassin and Moonman, on April 20th, GHOSTBABEL initiated the Subspace plans. While the bomb was intercepted by Pumpkinhead and she was banned from the Safehaven Discord Server, GHOSTBABEL was able to upload a video to the M channel, informing the players of a backup bomb located on Letschasethemouse.
In May, GHOSTBABEL and IsocelesAssassin were able to reestablish communications with the players on the Astral Observatory Forums. In July, she was caught in the crossfire of the battle between Pumpkinhead and the players, seemingly alongside the dead version of IsoscelesAssassin. She was released upon Pumpkinhead's defeat, and by September had begun directly contacting the Hacker Group in tandem with IsocelesAssassin and Moonman. In early 2021, however, she, alongside the players, discovered the possibility of BUP being able to Aggregate to her, possibly compromising the entire plan.
Personality
GHOSTBABEL has a very harsh personality, often speaking with an air of ego and condescension that rivals even Patrem. On her own, she is not a very trustworthy individual, caring only for her own goals and wellbeing. This slowly began to change once she was freed by IsocelesAssassin, however, as she felt indebted to him and assisted him in an effort to repay him. Though she looked down upon the players for months on end, she eventually came to respect their efforts and the progress they had made, though she still has a rather cold exterior.
GHOSTBABEL
I did some really intense scrying for this one
get ready this is going to be really riveting
"she is a tsundere asshole" LOL XD
Just as well she is like so many other beings you will find in this "portal", a mind moving through data.
Alternate Incarnations
Other timeline versions of GHOSTBABEL.
The GHOSTBABEL from the Prime Timeline is the GHOSTBABEL players interacted with during the "I Am 979" ARG. It is believed that Prime Timeline and Astral Timeline GHOSTBABELs are nearly identical up through the end of the "I Am 979" ARG, with the major exception being that the Prime Timeline GHOSTBABEL was never recaptured by the Wyndstrom Institute and therefore never required the assistance of IsocelesAssassin.
