Story (Full) 24

The story so far...
In the previous section, the players discovered a new website - Astralobservatory.net. On the surface, this site appeared to be a simple blog and message board where users could discuss conspiracy theories and supernatural phenomena. However, closer inspection implied that it may hold some connection to the Lunar Children...
First, Astralobservatory.net seemed to hold some connection to Johnisdead.com. Not only was it one of Johnisdead.com's redirect links, but the site also supposedly went offline when Johnisdead.com stole its bandwidth. Additionally, the site's owner, Nocta, was a very secretive individual. He claimed to have some sort of special knowledge regarding the nature of our world that he would only share to a select few. This information was supposedly locked away in a private board on the Astral Observatory Forums - "The Truth". Only those that Nocta deemed worthy and trustful were given access to this board.
Unfortunately, as soon as the players joined the website, Nocta immediately recognized them as members of the Internet Detectives. Not only was this a further hint that he was somehow connected to the Lunar Children - it also meant that the players would have an exceptionally difficult time gaining his trust in order to access The Truth... Thankfully, the players still had access to the rest of the forums. Here, the met the eccentric members of the Astral Observatory. These included a bubbly anime fan named Yuukichan, a conspiracy theorist named NotAHoax, and the board's resident troll - Moonman. There was also another user who had not made any posts yet - Samuel Charleston. According to Yuukichan, Samuel was an old man who sadly did not have any family left.
Meanwhile, Tyler hosted a livestream where he revealed some important information. Over the past few months he found some interesting objects. These included a red, demonic mask with the letter "R" on it, a familiar looking gas mask, and a photo of Hank and Diana from 1990. He also claims to have lost the Bullet Necklace not too long ago. However, halfway through this stream, Tyler leaves to check on a noise. While he's gone, SKM enters his room and returns the Bullet Necklace. While doing so, he implies that Max's soul now somehow resides inside of it. SKM then takes the gas mask before leaving.
Over time, the more sinister side of the Astral Observatory began making itself shown. As Yuukichan and NotAHoax revealed that they both had traumatic interactions with supernatural phenomena in the past and that Nocta's guidance was helping them "find their truths". However, it's far more likely that Nocta is simply exploiting their pasts in order to gain loyal followers for some nefarious purpose... Though the Astral Observatory members were courteous to the players, it was clear that their loyalty to one another was steadfast, meaning it was unlikely that the players would be able to access The Truth any time soon. Things became much more concerning when Nocta shared what appeared to be some sort of dangerous ritual.
However, the players discovered that they did have one ally - Moonman, who was now contacting them in private and giving them key details. Whether or not he was willing to continue to divulge more information was yet to be seen...

Story
On November 12th, 2018, Moonman continued casually chatting on the Astral Observatory Forums. First, he shared a song he enjoyed in the "G O O D MUSIC" thread.

This seems to imply that Moonman was an avid Vaporwave fan...
Afterwards, Moonman posted in a thread created by the player Jos titled "Ok, this is important.". For context, the creation of this thread was another plan concocted by the players. Within it, the player Jos would fabricate some sort of supernatural scenario that he was supposedly going through. This was an attempt to connect further with the members of the Astral Observatory, seeing how they had all experienced strange occurrences in the past...
Ok, this is important.
Ok, this is important.

Today, officially, I've lost contact with every physical person I've ever meet that I had a social interaction with, all my family, gone, friends, gone, know people, they don't even remember me, no one of them. At some point one of them threated me, with calling the police because they didn't know the name of my mother, brother, etc. This... This is getting ridiculus. I'm so alone... At least i have you guys... Idk if ghost aliens or whatever, i just want to... Know the truth behind all of this. i'm walking down the street right now, and using the last drops of internet my mobile company provides. I will go, idk, i will try to survive I guess...

If I am honest with you, I don't know of many days has passed, i would say a week ago I left my house because the ambience was like super super hostile, i was afraid, this is the only place for entertaining I have. I'm afraid if I go live somewhere else people will do the same, so, I'm just a nomad on the road.

Actually, I think that the most important thing right now is finding a hostage or something. And if it even sounds bad, you need to ensure if this could happen you again. We'll help you out dude.

Honestly dude if you are serious, you could contact the police, depending on how much you trust them.

In the thread above, the player Jos creates a fake story in which none of his family, friends, or relatives recognize him. In response, Moonman simply suggests that Jos should go to the police for help. He also calls the player AMGain an edgelord for his strange suggestion that Jos should take a hostage... (However, it would later be revealed that this was simply a poor translation on AMGain's part.)
Shortly afterwards, a new user joined the Astral Observatory Forums - "Kaiden_Zoromichi".

Kaiden seems to be a returning user of the Astral Observatory who was a member before the forums were wiped in October. While most of the users greet him fondly, Moonman doesn't seem too pleased. It appears that Moonman and Kaiden have some distaste for one another - though nothing too serious, presumably. Interestingly, Kaiden claims that the older version of the Astral Observatory Forums had a "Roleplay" board. However, he and Yuukichans were the only ones actively using it.
Many Internet Detectives began drawing parallels between Kaiden and one of their fellow players - Mugen Kagemaru. This was most likely intentional and done as a joke as the Astral Observatory Forums seemed to parody various aspects of Within Hubris.
Not long after his introduction post, Kaiden responded to the player Jos's thread from earlier:

In the thread above, Kaiden claims that he's gone through a situation similar to the one being described by the player Jos... However, Moonman explains that Kaiden is likely simply referring to a roleplay he once had. He says that Kaiden has a rather elaborate roleplay character with a ton of on-going lore. Most of this lore was supposedly catalogued on the forums before they were wiped in October. Kaiden implies that he's willing to share his roleplay character's backstory once again at some point. However, he also seems very annoyed by the players' presence and impatience...
Meanwhile, the player Wolfcat continued messaging Moonman in PM's, hoping to get some more information from him. He sent the following question in regards to Nocta's true nature:
Are you all aware of what he is?
That's a question. I told you not to ask questions, but fine. How about this?
Ask me three questions that I can answer with a simple yes or no. But i promise nothing
Is Nocta the same Kevin who was at times known as Regiminis?
In a way, yes.
Was the footage in Nocta's video recorded after 2015?
Yes.
Does Nocta often wear a shiny alien mask?
No idea.
Here, Moonman gives the players some very interesting information. He claims that Nocta is indeed Kevin - at least "In a way". What exactly he means by this is unknown, though. He also confirms that the footage shown in Nocta's video that features what appears to be a ritual was taken after 2015. This was somewhat concerning as many players believed that they could see Tyler in this clip... Unfortunately, it was too difficult to make out to be sure. Regardless, what exactly this ritual was is still a mystery. Moonman also isn't sure whether or not Nocta is The Watcher - the figure seen in some of Greth's videos wearing an alien mask.
Later on, Moonman sent the players the following message:
I may be interested in chatting further, but it needs to be away from here, and no where that eyes know of- not your discord or skype groups, you boys have advertised those too frequently.
Would a newly created discord server work?
The only people in it are about five others that I closely trust - other Internet Detectives who are on these forums.
should work just fine
Moonman was offering to give the players more information if they could provide him with a secure location to do so. In response, the players created the "Safehaven Discord Server" - a Discord server that contained only a few select players that were deemed trustworthy.
On November 13th, 2018, Moonman joined the Safehaven Discord server and began chatting with the players.
eyy
hi
So you may know us, but hi, I'm dense
he goes by a different name on the forums, but yeah
yeah I know
so lemme just come right out and ask - whose this nocta fella?
I mean he’s apparently Kevin but that doesn’t really line up with what we’ve heard
If I am gonna be honest I don’t know how to answer that any differently than I have
How long have you been in the forums?
since the beginning
How long would that be? It sounded like the Astral Observatory has been around for a little while since before the “hacker attack” from JiD
yeah. depends on who you ask tbh although for me i would say since july
Moonman claims that he's been a member of the Astral Observatory since they were created - July of 2018. Also, he's unfortunately unable to give any more information regarding how exactly Nocta is Kevin...
How do you exactly know about Greth, Moon?
well I can’t really tell you that
specifically I am unable to, physically
which sounds fucking gay but I promise is true
Wait moon, where are you from?
bear with me buddy truthfully
and this is gonna sound hella gay
I can only answer what I am allowed to
It seems as though Moonman is physically unable to answer certain questions. Though the reason for this is unknown, it's most likely supernatural in nature...
I don’t really buy the whole “Johnisdead.com stealing bandwidth” story
Do you know anything about what’s going on with that or nah?
brb, and no not in a spooky way
in like a "this is gonna take a while i can tell" and "i'm hungry" way
so brb
rip this nigga
For someone so self aware, he sure did say the forbidden phrase
as long as he doesn’t say "brb someones knocking on my door"
hehe
ok
what forbidden phrase
"brb" I think
oh
wow
so im not allowed to pee
you’re especially not allowed to pee
ok crystal
i honestly can’t tell if you are upset right now
if you are, i am very sorry, that was a joke
i am really upset you should apolo- oh ok
i was kidding actually
lmao
you are free to pee whenever you like
I dont think thats necessarily true but I appreciate the sentiment
After some light piss banter, the players resume asking questions:
I am going to ask the forbidden question, get ready
What is in the truth?
ha
that would be really easy huh
Figured it was at least worth a shot, lol
Can you tell us anything about this Samuel dude?
samuel is an older fella who posts on the forums
he still hasnt posted anything it seems like
Idk why honestly
he just hasn’t been around i guess
yeah, seems like users are still trickling in
like this cool kaiden dude
yeah he’s an edgelord
Sadly, Moonman isn't able to reveal what is inside The Truth. He also doesn't have much to say regarding Samuel, either - only that he hasn't been around lately.
If you can’t say anything about Kevin, then do you know anything about a Kayd Hendricks you can tell us about?
let me put it this way
I know plenty about ben drowned if you want to call it that.
who would’ve guessed it was all real
shit it all started with 4chan honestly
fuck that place.
Hey let’s play a game
Wolf, say some names and maybe he knows something
uh, alright
Tyler
Matt
Jacob
ok this is, uh, a weird way to have a conversation pal
what if I just started yelling names at you
but yes, tyler was in the video
I know of them
I know them
I know all of you
Moonman reveals that he's much more familiar with the players and their situation than they realize. He knows about the story surrounding Ben and the Moon Children. He knows about Tyler, Mat, and Jacob. He's even aware of who the players are. He also reveals that Tyler was indeed in Nocta's footage, meaning that Tyler took part in some sort of ritual after 2015 and Nocta has a recording of it...
what was even happening in the video honestly? it looked like a ritual
at first I thought it was something that was recorded back when Tyler still had his dudes, but apparently not
I dont know
but let me also say the rest of the forum does not know about the history of all this
at least to my knowledge, only nocta and I do
the others are innocent in this... again, to my knowledge
you should also know i am not strictly on your side
I am here because I need to have some control
of?
things
I’m guessing you’re referring to how you physically can’t talk about certain things?
sort of
I’m assuming that’s related to Nocta?
no
Since you seem to know quite a bit about all this, I’m guessing you probably saw Tyler’s stream a week or two ago?
yeah
do you know anything about that spooky chooky red mask he found?
no
damn
thanks for answering our awkward questions the best you could, tho
im sure more will crop up as we remember them
sure
Moonman clarifies that only he and Nocta know much about the Moon Children, Ben's story, and the players. Kaiden, Yuukichan, and NotAHoax are largely unaware of it. Additionally, he clarifies that Nocta isn't responsible for whatever is restricting him from speaking about certain things. However, the reason why he's now seeking out the players isn't because he's suddenly 100% on their side - he's simply seeking some degree of control over this strange supernatural restriction that he's be placed under.
So, to summarize the above...
Moonman and Nocta are both well aware of the Lunar Children, the Moon Children, and the players. However, the other members of the Astral Observatory are not. Unfortunately, there are some things that Moonman is unable to talk about. It seems as though some sort of supernatural force is physically preventing him from divulging certain information. He claims that Nocta is not responsible for this, leaving the reasoning behind it a mystery...
Moonman also claims that he is not fully on the players' side - he's mainly chatting with them simply because it gives him some degree of power and freedom from whatever supernatural force is restricting him.
Meanwhile, the players began concocting another plan. Since Nocta was already well aware of who they all were, they decided they should attempt a different approach. The player ARGdov would introduce himself on the Astral Observatory Forums and pretend as though he were no longer an active member of the Internet Detectives. Hopefully this would be enough to potentially begin gaining Nocta's trust...
After the player ARGdov posted his introduction, he received the following PM from Nocta:
What game is it you play, ARGDov?
I would like to know.
I've been told you haven't been with the Detectives for some time.
To put it simply, I'm trying to find answers just like anyone else here.
I was with Internet Detectives for a considerable ammount of time, it's true, but I left for a number of reasons which would be too complicated to enumerate here.
To put it simply, the number of unreconcilable differences I had with most of the members eventually made me feel I had to leave.
Not to mention, I've encountered some strange stuff with them - stuff which no one in the group was able to explain.
I was looking for answers and it seemed there approach wasn't garnering the results I was looking for, so there seemed no point in staying with them.
With that said, I did get wind of this place from an old contact of mine who's part of the group (I don't believe he's joined yet though I haven't asked for certain).
Despite there presence here the forum itself did sound promising, provided I was allowed to work on my own.
The detectives are slow and often times come to rather poor conclusions, to the point that they've put people at risk in the past as well.
I want answers and they clearly aren't going to be of any help. They've tried to save lives and have failed, and I question at times wether those lives were worth saving.
How far does your curiosity go?
I want to know to put it simply, "the truth". Not the nebulous thing that ID constantly yammer about but really and truly, the truth.
I don't know what you have to do with Johnisdead or any of the cults that the detectives have encountered (if you have any connection at all in the first place), but it seems you know something worthwhile.
I've encountered so many bizarre things, even before joining ID. Some of it seemed to point to the moon cults, and I guess specifically 'Luna', whoever she really is - another of my many questions.
I'm not so quick to dismiss the claims of the MC or the LC.... those groups certainly have power, power which isn't natural.
You told the members here that they should try and change the ID's minds about something, I'd like to know what that "something is" and what they're wrong about
If I may ask, who are you, anyways? You seem to know a bit more about me than I do about you.
I'm convinced that ID are putting people at risk by interfering and that they're attempts to learn the truth have lead them to come to inaccurate conclusions.
I don't trust the few allies they made when I was with them, and I feel you can clear things up.
((Nocta asks the player ARGdov if he would like to become friends.))
((The player ARGdov says that he would.))
Just keep an open mind to possibilities and we will get along well.
It seems as though the players' plan had worked. Nocta and the player ARGdov were getting along quite nicely. Hopefully, over time, he might just be given access to The Truth...
On November 19th, 2018, the players continued chatting with Moonman:
hey mane, how are you doing
pretty stoned
Thats good
Anyways, how is things going over there?
I just want to check, are you unable to speak because of an non-physical force?
I think someone just swats his keyboard away when he’s about to answer us
It is hard to explain
It is a spooky-ooky thing
have you ever met the other AO members in person?
or is it just strictly an online thing?
I’ve met others in person
whom lol
ur mom
goteem
Moonman can't really elaborate on the supernatural force that's preventing him from speaking - he only describes it as "a spooky-ooky thing". Additionally, he claims to have met other members of the Astral Observatory in person, implying that the group has some degree of an IRL presence and isn't strictly online.
The players continued chatting with Moonman into November 20th, 2018.
mind if I ask you about a couple of other dudes you may know?
sure
do you know anything about Thomas? ryukaki’s old friend?
I know jackshit about Thomas tbh
nocta - he would know about thomas
Sadly, Moonman doesn't know anything about Kayd's friend - Thomas. However, he claims that Nocta would probably know something about him... This is likely a reference to the fact that Nocta shares the same last name as Kayd - "Hendricks".
Alright, how about some kid named Hunter?
Hunter Jarvis?
Anything I know about Hunter was from what Jarilo told me
yeah, the Jarvis kid
so you actually spoke to jeremy too?
Uh yeah a few years back
damn, so you had an account on the LC forums?
Nah, on skype
the last we spoke to Jeremy was in 2016
well, actually extremely early 2017 to be precise
he was in a weird situation to say the least
dead? yeah.
You met Jeremy?
No, we spoke online.
Wait, but...
Why did you talk?
Because.
I was a "detective" back then.
Alright, so since you probably are unable to answer directly, maybe you can answer this...
Have you ever read this book?
Yes.
To everyone's surprise, Moonman reveals that he was a member of the Internet Detectives back in 2016. During this time, he chatting with Jeremy over Skype alongside the others during the return of Youshouldnthavedonethat.
Moonman also confirms that he's read the exact same book that Greth was seen holding in the video "never sleeping" - "Moon Magic". This implies that Moonman is actually Greth. However, this was deeply confusing... The last time the players saw Greth, he was possessed by Patrem. On top of that, Moonman claims he's been a member of the Astral Observatory since July of 2018, even though Greth himself never made any mention of the group in any of his videos. Also, Moonman wasn't talking to the players in the same way that Greth would - he's almost treating them like neutral strangers...
On November 22nd, 2018, some activity took place in the player CelestialLight's thread titled "Spirit World".
Spirit World
Spirit World
by CelestialLight » November 5th, 2018, 1:08 pm
I Believe in this, but don't really know if others feel the same. It's a place, that is called the spirit world were spirits come from, to this realm. They say when the veil is thin on Halloween that the veil between worlds open, to where the spirits can come through, i believe that really happens. I hope, i don't seem crazy believing in that. Because, i can feel the spiritual connection grow stronger, through energy on Halloween. Because, when you go outside and feel the air, it feels different more spookier.

It seems that at certain times under some circumstances. You can feel things in different ways. It does not depend so much on whether the connection is active. I feel that it depends on some actions in the physical world that activates the transition between the two worlds. some associate the lunar stages, or the level of the sea. even astrological phenomena to the changes. but there is much mysticism around the subject of the spiritual world.

Surprisingly, Yuukichan casually namedrops the "Parallelos", implying that the members of the Astral Observatory possess some degree of knowledge about it... This might suggest that Nocta is incorporating some of the Lunar Children's beliefs into whatever he's telling his followers.
On November 24th, 2018, players discovered that Astralobservatory.net was offline. A few hours later, the site returned - now featuring a new announcement:
Website temporarily down, but we’re back.
November 24, 2018 - News
Today we had a small DDOS attack on our servers. This caused our account to be temporarily suspended. It would be easy to say it was the “Internet Detectives”, but I can’t be sure that is the case. It would be inappropriate of us to try and assume anything in this instance, so we will move forward, as we have always planned
Here, Nocta addresses the fact that the site briefly went offline. He claims that this was due to a DDOS attack on their servers. Though he claims that he isn't sure that the players were responsible for this, he still plants this idea in the heads of his followers... Also, a few keen players notices that this post had a few out-of-place letters that were bolded. Putting these letters together spelled out the phrase "HE IS TRAPPED". Shortly afterwards, players discovered that this was the name of a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/heistrapped.html". This page contained a distorted image of Greth titled "trapped.gif" and an alternate version of the Astral Observatory theme from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask titled "astral.mp3". Additionally, this audio hid the text "what do you think you can do to save them".
Meanwhile, back on the Astral Observatory Forums, the player Jos created a thread to discuss the recent DDOS attack:
Page suspended
Page suspended
by Jos » November 24th, 2018, 2:37 pm
They don't want us to find the truth. There is nothing wrong with AO.net, so why would they suspend the page? Because the gov want to hide stuff or anything threatening their veil.

Unfortunately, it seems that Nocta's subtle suggestion that the players were responsible for the DDOS attack has worked - at least on Kaiden... He's now more suspicious of the players than ever.
If that weren't bad enough, the players suddenly had a surprise visitor arrive in the Safehaven Discord server - Nocta himself.
I have seen the most incredible light
It would be easy to assume you could change anything, but you can’t
Why do you insist on this?
Really
Because is the right thing to do, doing otherwise would be illogical.
What is right?
What exactly are you after?
What are you after?
Keeping our friends safe and uncovering the truth
So, you think infiltrating my forums and worrying my friends is the way to do it?
We don’t mean any ill will among the forum goers, but it’s clear that this is all connected, and there is definitely something fucked up going on beneath the surface.
If they are worried, then they probably have reason to be.
Look, on the off-chance that you aren’t in league with that cult, I promise you we mean no harm to your friends.
However, we have more than enough evidence that proves you and your website is at least connected to it.
All things are easy to believe when you have only been spoonfed information from one side of the story
That being said, you assume too much
Nocta questions the players' motivations and accuses them of worrying his friends. He also claims that they have only been given one side of the story and assume too much.
The conversation continued into November 26th, 2018.
Alright, it's time to clear some things up.
what are you doing?
No one here is enemies with one another.
Idiot
Can't you just let it go?
No.
Nocta, I think we need to clarify stuff, lets sit down, and lets talk cool
Ha.
I will see you all around.
Nocta is understandably upset with Moonman going behind his back to collaborate with the players. After this, Nocta left the Safehaven Discord server...
He is like "you are the bad guys oooo" so lets talk about it nocta and he is like "no0o0o0"
That's not actually how the whole situation is.
Actually, my life might be in danger at this point.
But I can reveal some things I could not before
The more you discover the more I can reveal it seems.
Moonman implies that the situation with Nocta is a bit more complex than the players realize... Additionally, he reveals a strange quirk regarding whatever supernatural force is keeping him from speaking. He claims that the more things the players discover, the more he can discuss.
I need to know who is all in this chat right now.
We have Wolfcat, me, Circlehunter, Dense, Glad Mans, Bianca, and Raven
I believe there may be a spy among our ranks
You guys were right about some times and wrong about others.
You were right about Greth.
Well, he is probably Nocta.
The Johnisdead page points to to it and have bunch of evidence.
Greth is not Nocta, at least not as far as I know.
I am Greth.
But here's the fucked up thing - I don't know you guys and I never made those videos on Greth Vlogs
And that person on the front page of Johnisdead.com isn't me either.
Even though that's Greth.
It sounds to me like some stupid magic shit is going on - more time bullshit
Back when YSHDT.net was up, a lot of strange things were happening with various timelines converging into one another
Maybe this is still happening somehow, as crazy as that sounds
Moonman confirms that he is Greth. However, he seems to be a different Greth from the one that the players are familiar with... Moonman doesn't remember these versions of the players and he never made Greth Vlogs. The players begin speculating that Moonman might be a Greth from a separate timeline - similar to how many different timelines were involved during Youshouldnthavedonethat.net's return during the previous arc.
Moonman also believes that there may be a spy among the Internet Detectives, though he doesn't reveal his reason behind this... Additionally, he confirms that Nocta is not Greth.
There's a lot of dark shit happening on Astral Observatory
And I'm frustrated because it might be too late for me to stop it
Do you know if there’s any possible way for us to access The Truth?
No. They changed the password and now I'm locked out too.
I remember the old one though. It was "pqbxhtlopa".
the shit that was on jid.com
That means...
Try the current title
"The timer won't reset"
What timer are you talking about?
it was a page in jid
just a reference tho
It just reminded me of something is all
Looks like Nocta's deleted a post since I've been locked out.
Moonman says that Nocta has changed the password to "The Truth" board, locking him out of it. The reveals that the old password was "pqbxhtlopa" - two words that recently appeared on Johnisdead.com. In response, the players attempt to use another phrase recently found on the site as the password - "The timer won't reset". Unfortunately, this doesn't work. However, Moonman claims that the phrase seems familiar... Also, Nocta now seems to be deleting some things inside of The Truth, implying that he's now ramping up his security and secrecy.
Just to be absolutely sure here, you were around for jadusable and posted the new wave bossa nova, right?
Or was that this other greth?
Yeah, I remember submitting that back then
It seems that our two timelines are similar - up to a certain point, at least
Moonman confirms that he made many of the same submissions that the Greth in our timeline did. Additionally, he states that our two timelines appear to be very similar - at least up until a certain point.
After this, Moonman suddenly began acting strange...
Kevin, Tyler, Tenebris
save please tyler
no save please
tylers
STOP IT
EVERYTHING IS TYLER AND NOTHING IS TYLE-
t\
he
is
During Moonman's sudden outburst, the players noticed that he reacted to one of his previous messages with an alien emoji. For context, "Emoji Reactions" is a feature on Discord that allows users to place emojis beneath messages - both new and old. The fact that Moonman was using an alien emoji seemed to imply that The Watcher was currently attacking him somehow and was responsible for this strange outburts.
In response, the player Wolfcat submitted an image of the Bow and Arrow item from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, hoping to ward off The Watcher. A few minutes later, Moonman returned.
I feel ok for now
what did you do?
Can you tell us who he is? Do you know? The man with the alien mask?
The what
The man with the alien mask?
Was he not the one who was just hurting you?
I don’t know what does that
Let's see if this works?
(("Epona's Song" from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is submitted.))
???
Wait, are you-
god, I'm-
hold on
someone is at the door
wait no
don't pull this
dude you KNOW this never ends up well
too late
Strangely, Moonman seems to have no knowledge of The Watcher - despite the fact that he was presumably just attacked by him... Regardless, the players were able to successfully fend him off. Unfortunately, the sudden submission of "Epona's Song" caused someone to begin knocking on Moonman's door. Shortly afterwards, he gets up to open it, leaving the chat.
Thankfully, Moonman returned only a few hours later, seemingly unharmed...
I have returned for now
What happened?
Someone came over and... idk I felt like I had to go with them
you dont remember who?
of course I do
who were they then lol
no one of importance
idk I feel weird tbh
I feel like I have to go somewhere
but I don't know where
Moonman explains that he briefly left with "someone of no importance". However, the situation surrounding his sudden departure is still strange. Also, he still feels the need to go somewhere, though she isn't sure where or why... Either way, Moonman is safe for the time being - though he's still likely viewed as a traitor in Nocta's eyes...

Here, Kaiden once again expresses his disdain for Moonman.
Afterwards, the holidays came and went with little to no activity. It wasn't until January 11th, 2019 that the players saw another update - this time in the form of a new video on Greth Vlogs titled "Escape p.2".
Description
You weren't supposed to have this
<--- Click for Video Transcript
The video begins with someone driving through a wooded area. A man and a woman begin talking though neither of their faces can be seen. The male voice sounds like it belongs to Greth. It is a bit difficult to make out what they are saying.
Woman: "What are you doing?"
Man: "Making a video."
Woman: "Yeah/Now? It's gonna be on this next... (Unintelligible)"
Man: (Unintelligible)
The video then cuts to a recording of a wooded area. It appears to be a park as a picnic table can be seen. The video cuts again to the man crossing a wooden bridge. A sign that reads "Davis Creek Trail" is in shot. The video cuts many more times of the man walking along the trail, though nothing of interest can be seen. The video ends with the man looking at a creek when suddenly a loud static sound is heard as a pixelated image of Moonman flashes on screen.
Summary
- This video seemingly contains footage of a woman driving Greth to a nature trail.
- Near the end of the video, the footage suddenly glitches as an image of Moonman appears.
This video contains footage of a woman driving Greth to what appears to be a nature trail. Its title seems to suggest that this is a sequel to "Escape" - the video that featured Greth leaving on a plane to presumably go hiking. However, the details surrounding this are still a bit unclear... Regardless, Greth arrives at the nature trail and crosses over a bridge. As he walks through the trail, he video suddenly corrupts as an image of Moonman appears. This coupled with the description seems to suggest that Moonman himself is somehow responsible for recovering and uploading this footage.
On January 21st, 2019, Yuukichan created a new thread on the Astral Observatory Forums - "Haunted houses".

In the thread above, Yuukichan claims that she's recently visited a haunted house. However, she says that this wasn't just any house, seemingly implying that it held some significance. This might suggest that this was actually Yuukichan's childhood home where here mother wrote on the walls... Though she remains rather vague, she claims that something took place that "awakened me further to The Truth in ways I never hoped to" and that it was an eye opening experience. She says that she took some photos of her old home but the files aren't accessible at the moment.
On January 27th, 2019, she continued chatting in the thread above:

Unfortunately, it seems that Yuukichan's photos have become corrupted. Interestingly, she claims that she wishes she could simply will things into existence... However, some players noticed that the letter "I" in the word "existence" was actually a link. Clicking on this link would redirect players to a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/hh.html". This page was titled "case file" and contained the image "hh.gif", which contained many different photos of an empty house flashing by. This page also contained the audio "mater.mp3", which is Latin for "Mother".
These are very likely the same photos that Yuukichan took. Additionally, the "Mother" referenced on this page is likely referring to Yuukichan's mother. All of this seems to imply that, for whatever reason, Yuukichan unknowingly holds some degree of control over Johnisdead.com...
On January 30th, 2019, some more casual discussion took place on the Astral Observatory Forums.
In one thread created by the player Mercury, the players got into a heated argument surrounding the topic of time travel. Eventually, Kaiden joined the discussion and posted the following:

Interestingly, Kaiden claims to have some experience with time travel... However, this is likely simply referring to a roleplay he once took part in, as he says he'll explain it in a YouTube series at some point.
Meanwhile, more activity took place in the "Art" thread from earlier:

Here, the player Jos shares some fanart of Yuukichan, earning some praise from both her and Kaiden, who seems to be searching for an artist... Also, the player CelestialLight reveals that she's relatively good friends with Yuukichan.
On January 31st, 2019, the players discovered that the Greth Vlogs account had posted the following comment on the video "Escape p.2". Around this same time, the channel's avatar changed to a distorted photo of Greth:
Greth Vlogs
"Upon several worlds did these men stumble, each world only slight less and more than the last. Inviting themselves into these folds allowed their conscious too see her."
This quote is likely referring to people stumbling upon the various different Parallelos and potentially witnessing Luna.
Casual discussion on the forums continued on "February 1st, 2019. In a thread titled "The Hidden Truth", the player CelestialLight discussed the possibility that the government was hiding something from the public. Later on, a player mentioned Donald Trump, resulting in the following interaction:

If you have nothing intelligently relevant to say, why bother speaking at all. Criticizing ones' language and way of speaking shows enough of how relevant you yourself are in speaking. In other words, leave him be.

No one asked for your opinion. Maybe instead of trying to lure me into some convo you think you have power over perhaps you could try thinking ahead as to who might get the last word. I don't know who you are and I don't care. I'm not in the mood to deal with people like you. Roleplay somewhere else. Thank you.

NotAHoax appreciates the player Dawn's efforts to keep the peace, calling him a "born leader".
On February 4th, 2019, the players discovered a surprising change on the Astral Observatory Forums - the player ARGdov had been added to the "Believers" user group. This implied that he had successfully gained Nocta's trust.
On February 5th, 2019, Moonman began discussing this with the players in the Safehaven Discord server.
Apparently your buddy is being indoctrinated
Nocta just made a post to us saying he was one of us now.
He also purged the previous content in there
Oh yeah, in The Truth
No I mean, he didn’t just delete an old topic.
He went into the current topic and deleted the text.
That means he gave Dov the password
He does that everytime he gives it out.
Got some archive of the old text?
I can’t give you that
And even if I could, I don't have one.
Feh. Worth a shot
there’s a reason he deletes that shit though
It means that if you got that info now then he knows it wasn’t Dov, which means he’d suspect me
If that info does get reposted and then you get it, then he might suspect Dov
I can’t be sure though. Anyways I can’t stay this was risky as is.
Thanks for the heads up, we’ll be sure to be careful.
One last thing though, were you responsible for the video uploaded to Greth Vlogs? Escape pt. 2?
;)
Moonman claims that Nocta deletes the information housed within The Truth every time he hands out the board's password. He does this so that information leaks he can determine who is leaking it. Moonman also confirms that he was the one that uploaded "Escape p.2" to Greth Vlogs.
Also keep an eye out on yuuki
Something is not good there
Okay goodbye
Before he departs, Moonman tells the players to keep an eye on Yuukichan. He claims that "something is not good there" - likely referencing how she was seemingly able to control Johnisdead.com...
However, almost immediately after leaving, Moonman returned to give the players another update:
okay wait actually
I have returned temporarily because some shit is going down
and now he’s promoted CelestialLight
What the fuck
I thought I would let you know because this never happens and I am concerned
It turns out that Nocta actually promoted another player to the "Believer" rank as well - CelestialLight.
Shortly afterwards, the player ARGdov noticed that Nocta had sent him the following PM on the Astral Observatory Forums:
Nocta
"I’ve been watching. I have recently removed some sensitive material from The Truth, but you now have access to this forum which is mostly empty, for now. The current password is 'mindconstruct'. I change it every time new material is posted in there."
Using the password above, "mindconstruct", the player ARGdov was able to access The Truth. Because Nocta was watching them so closely, ARGdov only shared what was found within The Truth with a few select players. As Nocta claimed in his PM, it was mostly empty, containing only the following threads:
Internet Detectives

Surprisingly, one of the threads within The Truth was titled "Internet Detectives" Unfortunately, it's since been purged. This thread was posted back on November 5th of 2018 - the same day that the players created the "Moon Children" thread and not too long after they first joined the board a few days prior.
The other thread within The Truth was the following:
Welcoming a new brother into our fold.

ARGDov has officially been welcome into our ranks, though he does not yet know our true purpose. These coming weeks it will be upon all of you-- and if any of our other former members rejoin, them as well-- to teach him about us and our mission.

Hello, all. I don't know exactly why I've been accepted, but it means a lot to me. Questions have plagued me for so long and I hope to finally find answers along with all of you. I know I've got quite a long ways to go before then, but even being let in is truly a privilege. I won't let anyone down, I promise you. And another welcome to CelestialLight as well, I'm sure we have much to learn together.

As mentioned by Moonman, the thread above is an announcement from Nocta stating that the players ARGdov and CelestialLight have both been given access to The Truth board. Interestingly, he claims that there are other members of the Astral Observatory who still have not rejoined the forums since they were wiped back in October of 2018. Also, Moonman is chatting with Nocta in this thread with seemingly no issue. This might suggest that the two of them came to some sort of understanding after their previous argument in the Safehaven Discord server. This is possibly why Moonman has been so absent lately - he's keeping his distance from the players.
Additionally, Yuukichan claims that CelestialLight sends her a lot of PM's. Unfortunately, the contents of these messages were never shared. Regardless, the various members of the Astral Observatory welcome the two players. That is, except for Kaiden, who questions Nocta's decision to add them "considering everything that's happened". However, what exactly he's referring to here is unknown...
Meanwhile, back in the "Haunted houses" thread, the player Thetraveler decided to post the gif containing Yuukichan's photos from Johnisdead.com. This resulted in the following response from Yuukichan:
Re: Haunted houses
by yuukichan » February 5th, 2019, 12:38 am
T-those are the pictures! O O ;;; Even now they creep me out... I swore I saw a face in my viewfinder a couple times...They also came out really grainy and low res even though my camera's pretty good...

Yuukichan is understandable shocked to see her photos. Despite this, she strangely does not question how the players managed to obtain them... However, she does claim that she thought she saw some faces on her camera when she was initially taking them...
Hoping to learn more about this strange house that Yuukichan visited, the player Wolfcat sent her a PM. On February 11th, 2019, she answered with a chilling reply...
Hey, this is just something I was wondering after seeing the haunted house thread.
Forgive me if this is a personal question, but is the haunted house you visited the same house that had the writing on the walls?
The one you posted a picture of a while back?
the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods
This was a concerning reply. There was no denying it now, there was definitely something wrong with Yuukichan.
On March 2nd, 2019, Johnisdead.com updated once again. The page was now titled "Go there" and contained a distorted image of Tyler titled "hitilp.gif". This page also contained the audio "future.mp3". This possibly implied that Tyler would be "going somewhere" in the future...
Shortly afterwards, the players found a new page - "https://johnisdead.com/hitilp.html". This page was titled "here" and contained a distorted audio file titled "misrem_old.mp3". Additionally, the page also contained a strange image titled "p_message_from.jpg". This image seemed to be a photo of the picture of Hank and Diana that Tyler discovered. However, it had been distorted, making Hank look more like Patrem. Also, there was a scrap of paper covering up Diana that had many runes written on it - the same Elder Futhark runes that Tyler claimed he was studying back in 2018. A translation of these runes can be found below:
HE IS WAITING
((The "Triple Goddess" symbol is drawn))
GIFT GIVING
((The "Detour Sign" is drawn))
((A symbol of three intersecting lines is drawn))
HE WILL BE SEEING YOU SOON.
((The same symbol of three intersecting lines is drawn next to a symbol of an arrow pointing up and down))
BRIS
((A strange wooden fixture sitting atop the photo of Hank can be seen that has runes reading "FUTHARK"))
The exact meaning of this is still a bit of a mystery. The mention of "Gift giving" is likely a reference to Patrem giving Tyler the Detour Sign. Also, there seems to be an implication that Tyler will be seeing someone soon - possibly Tenebris, given the mention of "BRIS".
Later on, the players discovered that the image above could actually be opened as though it were a .ZIP file. Doing this revealed three new files, the first of which was the video "t.mp4". This short video seemed to show Tyler walking in his yard before he's suddenly attacked:
The second file is "j.mp4", which is a heavily distorted video of someone sitting in a car:
The final file was another image - "messagefrom_.jpg", which featured another scrap of paper with more runes written on it:
FOR GIANTS AWAKENING RUNES
((Four "G" or "Gift" runes are drawn))
((Four "Thurs" or "Giant" runes are drawn))
((Two "Algiz" runes are drawn))
((One "Tîwaz" or "Spear" rune is drawn))
((Four "G" or "Gift" runes are drawn in a square shape))
((Four more "G" or "Gift" runes surround the "G" rune square formation))
GIANTS UNITY
FALSE FATHER STRAJING
((A Triforce is drawn))
((An upside-down triangle is drawn))
DRAUGR GIANT
((A symbol consisting of an arrow pointing up and down and possibly the "T", "L", and "A" runes))
LINK FACES THE CONTROLLING ONES
((A symbol consisting of the "Algiz" or "Protection" runes surrounding a "Jera" or "Harvest" rune is drawn))
((A symbol consisting of the "Algiz" or "Protection" runes surrounding a "Gyfu" or "Gift" rune is drawn))
The meaning behind these runes were even more cryptic than the last.
The "FOUR GIANTS AWAKENING RUNES" is clearly referencing The Four Giants and seemingly tying them to the "G" or "Gyfu" Rune, which looks like an "X" - "ᚷ".
There is also the implication that "Link", or Tyler, will face "THE CONTROLLING ONES". However, this is followed by a drawing of two "Algiz" Runes - "ᛉ". This rune is often associated with protection or defense.
Unfortunately, the players weren't able to derive much else from these mysterious messages.
On this same date, Nocta posted the following announcement on Astralobservatory.net:
Server still acting up
March 2, 2019 - Uncategorized
So, it’s come to another pitiful update. For this I am truly sorry, but I am never one to shy away from the status of the website from you, my friends. Due to reasons I still cannot explain we are having our ups and downs with the server. Every time we seem to get this back in working order and things seem to stabilize, something happens and everything seems to start crawling again; last time it happened on January 27th, just over a month ago. Everything should still work but expect some slowdown.
On the brightside, activity in our community generally seems to be in an upward swing. Carpe noctem.
Nocta claims that the website's server has been acting up recently - something that he claims first happened around a month ago on January 27th.
Though this message seems rather inconspicuous, players noticed that below it was a second hidden message - a cipher that translated to the following:
sometimes more treasures are hidden in the chest that lies in plain sight
However, what exactly this was referring to is unknown...
At some point later on, the Astral Observatory Forums suddenly became flooded with bot-accounts that would spam messages containing scams. On April 12th, 2019, Nocta addressed this in another announcement:
Forum Spam
April 12, 2019 - Uncategorized
So, due to the nature of our interests, I have never required e-mail verification when registering and posting on the forums; however, the amount of malicious bots trying to prey on our boards means that I now have to require it.
Here, Nocta announces that he will now be requiring email addresses for new users in the hopes that this will deter the spambots.
On April 22nd, 2019, Moonman returned to the Safehaven Discord server to chat with the players:
