Our Horizon Arc Pt2

This is the second part of the Our Horizon Arc Timeline. Please read the first part here before proceeding.

April 23rd, 2020

Notice:

Many old pages returned with Johnisdead.com - some dating back to early 2015. The contents of these pages will not be re-documented in this timeline unless there are updates or changes.

At 12:01 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com had changed. The page was now titled "Find your way". This page also contained the image "parallelos.gif" - an image of a green, distorted highway that has been seen in previous videos. This page also contained the audio "parallelos.mp3". This page also contained the image "initate.png", which would occasionally fade in and out on a section of the highway.
At 12:02 AM, the player HaouDeSoul discovered that clicking on the image "initiate.png" on the front page of Johnisdead.com would redirect players to a series of "Path" pages. These Path pages all shared the title - "Find your way", and they mainly consisted of green, distorted environments - usually along highways or roads. Players would navigate these Path pages by clicking on a certain part of the road to progress to the next one. Path pages appeard to be made up of the two following types:

Highway Paths - Path pages that progress down a single, straight highway. These pages contained one of the following random audio tracks:

parallelos.mp3 - Audio of someone walking near a highway.

Offshoot Paths - Path pages that progress down smaller roads and environments. These pages contained the following audio track:

realms.mp3 - A distorted track.

At 12:02 PM, the following Path pages were discovered:

Summary

The front page of Johnisdead.com leads to a long highway. This highway splits off into two small paths - one leads to a driveway that links to "https://johnisdead.com/tyler", and the other leads to another series of paths going through a wooded area.
The wooded path leads to a field that slowly transitions into a wasteland. There is also a small trail leading off of the wooded path.
The small trail leading off of the wooded path above leads to a dark tunnel.
There are several dead ends and crossroads that have no paths.

((Any additional pages discovered along the paths above will be documented below as the players discovered them.))

At 12:02 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com contained a JanusVR room. Players began downloading JanusVR from steam to explore the room.

Notice:

JanusVR is a virtual reality internet browser that was previously used in Johnisdead back in 2015. This program allows users to create 3d environments hosted in individual webpages called Janus rooms. These Janus rooms contain images, sounds, 3d models, portals to other Janus rooms, and even surfaces that can act as interactive webpages within JanusVR itself.

To conserve space in this timeline, a full list of assets such as images and models will not be archived. Instead, videos and screenshots of these Janus rooms will be provided along with only the most relevant files. As always, important details will be listed in the summaries of these sections.

The Janus room on the front page of Johnisdead.com is recorded here:

4/23/20 - Path Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This room was a single, long highway. Everything in this room was colored green, much like the highway seen on the Path pages. This is the same 3d environment seen in the "SIEGUNSERE" video. Along the highway were occasional light posts and street signs. These objects were colored completely black. After several minutes of walking, the player will be warped backwards on the road, ensuring that they cannot reach the end.

Summary

This Janus room appears to be the long, green highway seen on Johnisdead.com path pages.

This map was a recreation of the original Fakeworld Janus map from 2015. Players would spawn in a room made up of distorted images. Walking outside, players would realize this room is floating above a large, purple-colored landscape made up of more corrupt looking textures. This landscape contained a large mountain structure in the far corner, along with what appears to be a coastline or valley of sorts. On the opposite side of the map, a steep ridge lined the edge of the landscape. A large monolith structure was also placed on the platform outside of the initial spawn room.

4/23/20 - "kaiden_abridged_2.mp4" - YouTube (kaiden zoromichi)

This video begins with the same title card from Kaiden's previous video, reading:

Adventures of KAIDEN ZOROMICHI ABRIDGED Part 2".

Kaiden fades on screen and begins speaking.

Kaiden: "Truly this world is cursed. Lost, for I am, without sweet Yuuki. It was my own hubris that brought this cursed fate to me. My own poor decisions. I should have known. I should have realized what it meant to be one of them, but now I am the very one responsible for my life without her. Perhaps it is in the Internet Detectives that I-"

The video suddenly begins corrupting. A distorted version of BUP's avatar is shown.

More distorted footage is shown.

The word "control" flashes on screen, followed by loud, distorted footage of Greth.

Summary

This video is another production by Kaiden detailing his roleplaying adventures. In this video, Kaiden ponders if he should join the Internet Detectives, but BUP takes control of the video before a decision is made.
BUP speaks to Kaiden, acknowledging that he may be surprised to see him.

Summary

The players tell Erika they need her help to save Tyler. She seems confused about what is going on.
Erika claims that she is scared to mess with Johnisdead.com.

At 2:40 AM, the player Yoshi discovered a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/(...)/chamber/library/2016". This page was titled "Answer" and contained the image "corridors.gif". This page also contained the audio "guessing.mp3" as well. This page also contained the text "That's correct. The year of temporal chaos that cursed me to this terrible fate. This merged chaos will allow you to slip into an alternate timestream where you can carry out the remainder of your duties. You know where to go, correct?".

At 2:51 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the image "OPEN_YOUR_EYES.gif".
At 2:52 AM, the entity "fascie" became active in JanusVR and led players to a new Janus room - "Under". The entrance to this room was located in a new section of the Janus room "Fakeworld" in a small cave beneath the shoreline/canyon area.

4/24/20 - Under Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This room was a series of corridors and chambers consisting of corrupted, pixellated textures. Players would spawn in a long hallway that looped around a room with a pit. This pit connected to another room with a staircase that led back up to the corridors. Several strange images of what appeared to be screaming faces could be seen along the walls. A large door could be found in the room with the staircase that led outside. Outside, a long walkway led around the edge of the building and into another room. This room contained a heavily distorted image titled "papers.jpg". The audio file "listen.wav" would also play when in this room. The building seemed to extend much further than what was readily explorable.

Summary

This Janus room consists of a a series of green, distorted rooms connected by corridors. An outside section is also explorable via a long walkway.

Updates

Files:

atmos.mp3 - A slow, atmosphereic track.

listen.wav - A distorted audio file.

papers.jpg - A heavily distorted image found at the end of the outside walkway.

ss.jpg - A distorted screenshot of what appears to be the video "IMG_1509".

Screenshots:

The room at the bottom of the pit with strange images adorning the walls.

At 3:00 AM, the players discovered three strange entities within the "Under" Janus room - "Trapped", "stackoverflow", and "HALICORD". These entities began interrogating the players, asking them why they've invaded their home - the "Under" Janus room. The entity Trapped was simply standing in the corner jittering around the entire time.
At 3:03 AM, Trapped, stackoverflow, HALICORD, and fascie gathered around the pit in the "Under" Janus room and jumped in. Following this, they all logged off.
At 3:10 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the audio file "listen.wav" hid an image within its spectrogram.
At 3:13 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the audio file "atmos.mp3" hid the message "WHY ARE YOU HERE" in its spectrogram.
At 3:42 AM, the player otherLiam discovered a new post on Letschasethemouse - "Allies.".

4/24/20 - "Allies." - Letschasethemouse

Before I'm removed, I need to get in contact with you. Not here; oh no, there are many interlopers. Hackers.
What I would once call my friends.

What I would once call my enemies.

I'm at my limit. I've been on the run for too long. There's very little good I can do left-- I must always abide by the world's law. You have an ally in me, if you are truly one who seeks to strike out.
It may be hard for us to understand each other, though. Language is not the only thing we don't share. I have a much higher understanding than yourself. An understanding that put me above all else once before, but now it's a hindrance. Even that being the case, I'm still below those that I now oppose.
It's what will end me. But there is something I know I can share.

Come find me.

-L

P/L.HTML

Summary

TheLaw announces that he is now an ally of the players. He hints that soon he will be "removed".
TheLaw claims that he must always "abide by the world's law".
TheLaw claims that he has a higher understanding than the players that, at one point in time, placed him above all others. He claims that this understanding is now a hinderance to him, though.
TheLaw hints that he is below BUP and that he is willing to share information with the players if they can find him - something he admits that will likely lead to his destruction.

At 3:45 AM, the player Xenquility discovered a new page on Letschasethemouse - "https://letschasethemouse.blogspot.com/p/l.html". This page was titled "L" and contained a link to a new video on the M YouTube channel - "L".

4/24/20 - "L" - YouTube (M)

This video begins with footage of someone's desktop. They have the program "RX-SSTV" open - a program used to decipher SSTV signals. They begin deciphering an SSTV signal, revealing a distorted image of BUP's Discord avatar. The following pop-ups appear on the screen:

The screen in the program RX-SSTV begins playing a video of BUP's Discord avatar. The following pop-ups appear:

THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH

Yes No

THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH
TRIGGER [DEADMAN SWTICH]?

ARE YOU SURE?
Yes No

THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH

The video in the RX-SSTV screen suddenly changes to an image of Toad's face from Super Mario 64 with an "X" over it. This was the avatar currently being used for the "Alliance Against BUP" Discord server. Distorted numbers begin appearing on screen, rapidly counting up in minutes. The video in the RX-SSTV screen shows a Discord screenshot of someone about to ban a user for the given reason:

"You shouldn't have done that."

The video on the RX-SSTV screen then shows a screenshot from Majora's Mask with a text box reading:

"You shouldn't have done that."

The timer reaches "4080 MINUTES" and the video ends.

Summary

This video features someone, presumably TheLaw, deciphering a message from BUP using the program RX-SSTV.
BUP seemingly corrupts TheLaw's computer, activating something called the "DEADMAN'S SWITCH". This activates a timer that begins counting down from 4080 minutes.

BUP says that long ago he was a mortal just like the players.

BUP says that when he was exposed to the events of "Ben Drowned", he began professionally researching the paranormal.

BUP says that he earned several degrees and grants, eventually opening his own paranormal study facility he named the "Astral Observatory". He claims this name was a bit of an inside joke - likely originating from his past with Ben Drowned.

BUP claims that he became more and more popular, garnering a following with his blog hosted on Astralobservatory.net along with some sort of talk show. He says that during this time he went under the name "Nocta".

BUP reiterates that the Nocta the players know - the one who is currently the admin of the Astral Observatory forums - isn't him. That Nocta is simply someone who stole his name and website for his own purposes.

BUP claims that the way he came to power and why he's currently in this "layered" state is due to "Aggregation", but he refuses to explain further.

This room was a black void containing many large wooden pillar-like structures. These pillars contained various walkways that circled around the outer edges of the pillars. Players could also climb to the top of the main pillar, as the jump height in this room was fairly high. Other pillars could be seen in the distance. These pillars had large, glitchy models of armless Moon Children from Majora's Mask standing atop them. Small distorted images of Moon Children could also be seen in the distance. Walking along a bridge to a nearby smaller pillar would lead players to a pit. Jumping down this pit would teleport them to the inside of the main pillar, where they would be surrounded by many armless Moon Chilren images.

Summary

This Janus room is a series of large, wooden pillars in a black void. Various models and images of armless Moon Children can be seen floating around the map.

The address to Dawn's Anydesk session was found written in runes in a small building - "652 473 026".

The password to access Dawn's Anydesk session was the candy he was searching on his computer in the Janus room - "lindttruffles".

The password to access Dawn's desktop was the word written on a note next to his computer in the Janus room - "whippedcream".

Through Dawn's remote desktop, players discover that Dawn is involved in some sort of sun cult that worships the god Helios.
It's implied that "Dawn" is a holy title that's passed down among members of sun cult, and that Dawn's father was originally the title's holder before him. It's also implied that "hubris" will inevitably lead to the downfall of every Dawn, as holders of the title will eventually begin to think they're above mortality.
Players discover a locked file on Dawn's computer - "IMPORTANT.odt.zip".
Players discover a text file on Dawn's computer containing various commands that can be entered on a secret "command line" page on Withinhubris.com. They begin experimenting with these commands:

Apollonios and Helios.txt

Apollonios approached and saluted him, the king [of Babylon] was addressed him in the Greek language and invited him to sacrifice with him; and it chanced that he was on the point of sacrificing to Helios the Sun as a victim a horse of the true Nisaian breed, which he had adorned with trappings as if for a triumphal procession. But Apollonios replied : ‘Do you, O king, go on with your sacrifice, in your own way, but permit me to sacrifice in mine.’

Apollonios quote.txt

‘O thou Helios, send me as far over the earth as is my pleasure and thine, and may I make the acquaintance of good men, but never hear anything of bad ones, nor they of me.’

Descendants of Helios.txt

Apart from Heliades and Heliadae, who were mentioned above, Helios is also mentioned as a father of Circe, Aeetes, Pasiphae and Perses by Persa. He is also said to be a father of Augeas, the famous herdsman, known from the labour of Heracles when the hero had to clean the stables in a single day. According to Quintus Smyrnaeus, he also consorted with his sister Selene who then gave birth to the Seasons and an unusual creature by the name of Ampelos, mentioned by Nonnus. According to Hyginus, there was also Aex, a daughter of Helios, who surpassed many in beauty of bodies but in contrast had a horrible face. Terrified by her face, Titans forced Gaea to hide her in a cave in the island of Crete. There was also famous son Phaeton, born to Helios and Clymene or, according to some sources, a grandson, born to Clymenus, a son of Helios, and Merope, an Oceanid. He was famous for riding Helios' chariot but once, got overwhelmed by it, he rode too close to earth and everything burned in fire that came near. He was then struck by lightning of Zeus because of his foolishness and fell into a river Po, also known as Eridanus.

dorians.txt

The Dorians, one of the four major ethnic groups of Greece at the time, also seemed to have celebrated Helios more than many Greeks of the era. There is even speculation that they were the people who brought the worship of the sun god to Rhodes.

epithets.txt

The female offspring of Helios were called Heliades. The Greek sun god had various bynames or epithets, which over time in some cases came to be considered separate deities associated with the Sun. Among these is Hyperion (superus, "high up"), Elektor (of uncertain derivation, often translated as "beaming" or "radiant", especially in the combination elektor Hyperion), Phaëton "the radiant", Terpsimbrotos ("gladdens mortals"), and Hekatos (also Hekatebolos "far-shooter", i.e. the sun's rays considered as arrows).

Etruscan god of the sun.txt

The Etruscan god of the sun, equivalent to Helios, was Usil. His name appears on the bronze liver of Piacenza, next to Tiur, the moon. He appears, rising out of the sea, with a fireball in either outstretched hand, on an engraved Etruscan bronze mirror in late Archaic style, formerly on the Roman antiquities market. On Etruscan mirrors in Classical style, he appears with a halo.

Greek.txt

"The Akrokorinthos [at Korinthos] is a mountain peak above the city, assigned to Helios by Briareos when he acted as adjudicator, and handed over, the Korinthians say, by Helios to Aphrodite.

Hermionians.txt

"Here the Hermionians had their former city. They still have sanctuaries here: one of Poseidon at the east end of the spit, and a temple of Athena . . . There is also another sanctuary of Athena, of no great size, the roof of which has fallen in. There is a temple to Helios (Sun), another to the Kharites (Graces)."

home islands.txt

One of the two home islands of the god was Thrinacia. It was the island, sacred to Helios, where his daughters Heliades lived. It is said that he once consorted with an Oceanid Clymene who then gave birth to seven daughters, Aegle, Aetherie, Dioxippe, Helie, Lamperia, Merope and Phoebe. But they weren't alone out there. It was also the island where his sacred cattle lived and it is where Odysseus and his men came on their journey. It is said in the story that Odysseus, considering the warnings of Teiresias and Circe, wanted to skip the island but was out-voted by his crew who wanted to rest, exhausted from their journey. They promised to Odysseus that they would never touch the sacred cattle of Helios, knowing they still have provisions on their ship.cattle helius It was all agreed and they disembarked. The next day, after having a proper dinner spiced with some wine, they wanted to get back on the sea again but bad weather arrived which kept them on the island for a month. They soon ran out of provisions and started plotting of having some of the finest beasts of Helios' flock. And when Odysseus went to pray to the gods, they took this opportunity and gathered the cattle around a campfire and, after prayers, killed them and roasted them on the fire. While they were feasting, one of the Heliades, Lampetia, brought the news to her father. Helios was outraged and threatened the gods of Olympus that if there was no justice, he would go to Hades instead to shine upon the dead and never to return again. Out of fear, Zeus calmed down Helios and promised him that he will punish them. Meanwhile, while praying, Odysseus heard the news from Calypso but it was already too late. When he came back to the ship, he refused to join the feast. After six days of feasting, Zeus calmed the weather and men made a decision to set sail again. But when they came out on the open sea, dark clouds, sent by Zeus, gathered around their ship and violent winds started blowing. The ship started breaking apart and finally broke apart when Zeus struck it with thunderbolt. All of the crew died except for Odysseus who was spared because he refused to kill and eat Helios' cattle.

The other island that is mentioned to be the home island of Helios was Rhodes. According to Diodorus Siculus, this island was full in mud and soft when it formed. But Helios dried up all the wetness and filled the island with living creatures and among them were Heliadae, seven sons, named after him. Their names were Actis, Candalus, Cercaphus, Macar, Ochimus, Tenages and Triopas. When his sons reached manhood, he told them that the first people who sacrificed to Athena would ever be protected by the goddess and, as a result, they became the first men to introduce sacrifices to the Goddess. There were also other people who sprang from the land and because Helios made it all possible they worshipped him and the island became sacred to the god.

Inakhos.txt

"The Korinthians say that Poseidon had a dispute with Helios about the land, and that Briareos arbitrated between them, assigning to Poseidon the Isthmos and the parts adjoining, and giving to Helios the height above the city [the citadel of Akrokorinthos]."

interaction.txt

Helios is often presented, in myths, interacting with other gods and demi-gods. One of such is the myth of abduction of Persephone where he and Hecate are the only ones who had heard the screams of Persephone when Hades abducted her. Demeter, Persephone's mother, later came to the gods and demanded from them to tell them who is behind the abduction. Then, in fear of their sacred lands that could become barren, they told her that Zeus and Hades are to blame. Helios was also, apparently, a good friend of Hephaestus whom he helped to fashion a plough of unbending adamant.sol spying on Ares and Aphrodite They seemed to be in good relations because Helios once spied on Aphrodite and Ares who were having an affair in the palace of Hephaestus at Olympus. He immediately reported this to Hephaestus and the god of craftsmanship then forged magical chains and set a trap. With Helios they agreed that the sun-god would report to him as soon as the trap was triggered. While Hephaestus was on his supposed way to Lemnos, Aphrodite and Ares met in his chambers. They laid on a bed and triggered the trap. Helios spread the news to Hephaestus who then gathered all the other gods to come and see this adultery and, consequently, Ares got banished from Olympus. Helios also helped Orion who was blinded and, while wandering around, came across Hephaestus who then directed him to Helios. The sun god then cleansed his eyes with rays and recovered his vision. The god also interacted with Heracles who was searching for the island of Erythia. Unable to find the island, he, in desperation, shot an arrow towards the sun. Helios was impressed by the boldness of the hero and gave him a golden goblet with which he was able to cross the ocean and reach Erythia. Even Gaea, the mother goddess, once begged Helios to dry her with his beams, after the whole land was frozen by the remains of Typhon, after Zeus had defeated him.

light.txt

Helios was a titan god of the sun and sunlight and was described as the One who watches from above and sees and observes anyone or anything if he wishes, not just on earth but in heavens also.

odyssey.txt

Helios has a small but notable role in the Odyssey. When Odysseus and his men land on Thrinacia, one of the islands dedicated to the sun god, Odysseus warns them not to touch any of Helios’ cattle or sheep that graze on the land. They do not heed this warning and, in his absence, slaughter some of the best of the animals.

Alerted to this by one of his daughters, Helios appeals to ZEUS for revenge. He threatens to take the sun and shine it onto the dead of the Underworld, instead of on the earth, if the men’s act goes unpunished. Zeus then strikes the crew’s ship with a lightning bolt, killing everyone except for Odysseus.

rhodes.txt

The island of Rhodes, believed to have been shaped by Helios, is a place where people honored him as an important deity. Legend has it that when the island first came into being, it was muddy and uninhabitable. Helios dried the land and filled it with life, including seven of his sons known as Heliadae. Because of Helios’ life-giving intervention, some residents of the island worshiped him, and the island became sacred to Helios.

sister.txt

Each morning, his sister, EOS, would paint the dawn sky with her fingers and pull the misty curtain, through which Helios would appear, aside. He would drive his blazing chariot across the heavens until his travels were complete. At this time, he would he would hide in a golden cup that fell to earth while his sister, Eos, would begin her nightly trek.

sun.txt

That is, the sun, or the god of the sun. He is described as the son of Hyperion and Theia, and as a brother of Selene and Eos.1 From his father, he is frequently called Hyperionides, or Hyperion, the latter of which is an abridged form of the patronymic, Hyperionion. In the Homeric hymn on Helios, he is called a son of Hyperion and Euryphaessa. Homer describes Helios as giving light both to gods and men: he rises in the east from Oceanus, though not from the river, but from some lake or bog (λίμνη, limnē) formed by Oceanus, rises up into heaven, where he reaches the highest point at noon time, and then he descends, arriving in the evening in the darkness of the west, and in Oceanus.

Later poets have marvelously embellished this simple notion: they tell of a most magnificent palace of Helios in the east, containing a throne occupied by the god, and surrounded by personifications of the different divisions of time; and while Homer speaks only of the gates of Helios in the west, later writers assign to him a second palace in the west, and describe his horses as feeding upon herbs growing in the islands of the blessed.

The points at which Helios rises and descends into the ocean are of course different at the different seasons of the year; and the extreme points in the north and south, between which the rising and setting take place, are the τροπαὶ ἠελίοιο (tropai ēelioio). The manner in which Helios during the night passes from the western into the eastern ocean is not mentioned either by Homer or Hesiod, but later poets make him sail in a golden boat round one-half of the earth, and thus arrive in the east at the point from which he has to rise again. This golden boat is the work of Hephaestus. Others represent him as making his nightly voyage while slumbering in a golden bed. The horses and chariot with which Helios makes his daily career are not mentioned in the Iliad and Odyssey, but first occur in the Homeric hymn on Helios, and both are described minutely by later poets.

Helios is described even in the Homeric poems as the god who sees and hears every thing, but, notwithstanding this, he is unaware of the fact that the companions of Odysseus robbed his oxen, until he was informed of it by Lampetia.11 But, owing to his omniscience, he was able to betray to Hephaestus the faithlessness of Aphrodite, and to reveal to Demeter the carrying off of her daughter.1This idea of Helios knowing every thing, which also contains the elements of his ethical and prophetic nature, seems to have been the cause of Helios being confounded and identified with Apollo, though they were originally quite distinct; and the identification was, in fact, never carried out completely, for no Greek poet ever made Apollo ride in the chariot of Helios through the heavens, and among the Romans we find this idea only after the time of Virgil. The representations of Apollo with rays around his head, to characterize him as identical with the sun, belong to the time of the Roman empire.

The island of Thrinacia (Sicily) was sacred to Helios, and he there had flocks of oxen and sheep, each consisting of 350 heads, which never increased or decreased, and were attended to by his daughters Phaethusa and Lampetia.13 Later traditions ascribe to him flocks also in the island of Erytheia,14 and it may be remarked in general, that sacred flocks, especially of oxen, occur in most places where the worship of Helios was established. His descendants are very numerous, and the surnames and epithets given him by the poets are mostly descriptive of his character as the sun.

Temples of Helios (ήλιεῖα, ēlieia) seem to have existed in Greece at a very early time,15 and in later times we find his worship established in various places, as in Elis, at Apollonia, Hermione, in the acropolis of Corinth,19 near Argos, at Troezen, Megalopolis, and several other places, especially in the island of Rhodes, where the famous colossus of Rhodes was a representation of Helios: it was 70 cubits in height, and, being overthrown by an earthquake, the Rhodians were commanded by an oracle not to erect it again.
The sacrifices offered to Helios consisted of white rams, boars, bulls, goats, lambs, especially white horses, and honey. Among the animals sacred to him, the cock is especially mentioned.

The Roman poets, when speaking of the god of the sun (Sol), usually adopt the notions of the Greeks, but the worship of Sol was introduced also at Rome, especially after the Romans had become acquainted with the East, though traces of the worship of the sun and moon occur at a very early period.

sungod.txt

In Greek mythology, the Sungod, son of the Titan Hyperion (whose name he bears himself in Homer) and the Titaness Theia; brother of Selene (the Moon) and Eos (Dawn). The poets apply the name Titan to him in particular, as the offspring of Titans. He is represented as a strong and beautiful god, in the bloom of youth, with gleaming eyes and waving locks, a crown of rays upon his head. In the morning he rises from a lovely bay of the Ocean in the farthest East, where the Ethiopians dwell. To give light to gods and men he climbs the vault of heaven in a chariot drawn by four snow-white horses, breathing light and fire; their names are Eoos, Aethiops, Bronte, and Sterope. In the evening he sinks with his chariot into the Ocean, and while he sleeps is carried round along the northern border of the earth to the East again in agolden boat, shaped like a bowl, the work of Hephaestus. He is called Phaethon, from the brilliant light that he diffuses; he is the All-seer (Panoptes) because his rays penetrate everywhere. He is revealer of all that is done on earth; it is he who tells Hephaestus of the love of Ares and Aphrodite, and shows Demeter who has carried off her daughter. He is accordingly invoked as a witness to oaths and solemn protestations. On the island of Trinacria (Sicily) he has seven flocks of sheep and seven herds of cattle, fifty in each. It is his pleasure, on his daily journey, to look down upon them. Their numbers must not be increased or diminished; if this is done, his wrath is terrible. (See ODYSSEUS.) In the 700 sheep and oxen the ancients recognised the 700 days and nights of the lunar year. The flocks are tended by Phaethusa (the goddess of light) and Lampetie (the goddess of shining), his daughter by Neaera. By the ocean Nymsh Perse or Perseis he is father of Aeetes, Circe, and Pasipae, by Clymene the father of Phaethon, and Augeas was also accounted his son. His children have the gleaming eyes of their father. After the time of Euripides, or there-abouts, the all-seeing Sun-god was identified with Apollo, the god of prophecy. Helios was worshipped in man places, among which may be mentioned Corinth and Elis. The island of Rhodes was entirely consecrated to him.. Here an annual festival (Halia) was held during the summer in his honour, with chariot-racing and contests of music and gymnastics; and four consecrated horses were thrown into the sea as a sacrifice to him. In 278 B.C. a colossal bronze statue, by Chares of Lindus, was erected to him at the entrance of the harbour of Rhodes. Herds of red and white cattle were, in many places, kept in his honour. White animals, and especially white horses, were sacred to him; among birds the cock, and among trees the white poplar. The Latin poets identified Helios with the Sabine deity Sol, who had an ancient place of worship on the Quirinal at Rome, and a public sacrifice on the 8th of August. But it was the introduction of the ritual of Mithras which first brought the worshit of the sun into prominence in Rome.

sunworship.txt

"that sun-worship had once been prevalent and powerful among the people of the pre-Hellenic culture, but that very few of the communities of the later historic period retained it as a potent factor of the state religion."

THALAMAE.txt

"From Oitylos to Thalamai [in Lakedaimonia] the road is about eighty stades long. On it is a sanctuary of Ino and an oracle. They consult the oracle in sleep, and the goddess reveals whatever they wish to learn, in dreams. Bronze statues of Pasiphae and of Helios (the Sun) stand in the unroofed part of the sanctuary. It was not possible to see the one within the temple clearly, owing to the garlands, but they say this too is of bronze. Water, sweet to drink, flows from a sacred spring. Pasiphae is a title of Selene (the Moon), and is not a local goddess of the people of Thalamai."

thesun.txt

The worship of Helios was introduced into Greece from Asia. According to the earliest conceptions of the Greeks he was not only the sun-god, but also the personification of life and all life-giving power, for light is well known to be an indispensable condition of all healthy terrestrial life.

The worship of the sun was originally very widely spread, not only among the early Greeks themselves, but also among other primitive nations. To us the sun is simply the orb of light, which, high above our heads, performs each day the functions assigned to it by a mighty and invisible Power; we can, therefore, form but a faint idea of the impression which it produced upon the spirit of a people whose intellect was still in its infancy, and who believed, with child-like simplicity, that every power of nature was a divinity, which, according as its character was baleful or beneficent, worked for the destruction or benefit of the human race.

Helios, who was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, is described as rising every morning in the east, preceded by his sister Eos (the Dawn), who, with her rosy fingers, paints the tips of the mountains, and draws aside that misty veil through which her brother is about to appear. When he has burst forth in all the glorious light of day, Eos disappears, and Helios now drives his flame-darting chariot along the accustomed track. This chariot, which is of burnished gold, is drawn by four fire-breathing steeds, behind which the young god stands erect with flashing eyes, his head surrounded with rays, holding in one hand the reins of those fiery coursers which in all hands save his are unmanageable.

When towards evening he descends the curve in order to cool his burning forehead in the waters of the deep sea, he is followed closely by his sister Selene (the Moon), who is now prepared to take charge of the world, and illumine with her silver crescent the dusky night. Helios meanwhile rests from his labours, and, reclining softly on the cool fragrant couch prepared for him by the sea-nymphs, recruits himself for another life-giving, joy-inspiring, and beauteous day. It may appear strange that, although the Greeks considered the earth to be a flat circle, no explanation is given of the fact that Helios sinks down in the far west regularly every evening, and yet reappears as regularly every morning in the east. Whether he was supposed to pass through Tartarus, and thus regain the opposite extremity through the bowels of the earth, or whether they thought he possessed any other means of making this transit, there is not a line in either Homer or Hesiod to prove.

In later times, however, the poets invented the graceful fiction, that when Helios had finished his course, and reached the western side of the curve, a winged-boat, or cup, which had been made for him by Hephæstus, awaited him there, and conveyed him rapidly, with his glorious equipage, to the east, where he recommenced his bright and glowing career. This divinity was invoked as a witness when a solemn oath was taken, as it was believed that nothing escaped his all-seeing eye, and it was this fact which enabled him to inform Demeter of the fate of her daughter, as already related. He was supposed to possess flocks and herds in various localities, which may possibly be intended to represent the days and nights of the year, or the stars of heaven.

Helios is said to have loved Clytie, a daughter of Oceanus, who ardently returned his affection; but in the course of time the fickle sun-god transferred his devotion to Leucothea, the daughter of Orchamus, king of the eastern countries, which so angered the forsaken Clytie that she informed Orchamus of his daughter's attachment, and he punished her by inhumanly burying her alive. Helios, overcome with grief, endeavoured, by every means in his power, to recall her to life. At last, finding all his efforts unavailing, he sprinkled her grave with heavenly nectar, and immediately there sprang forth from the spot a shoot of frankincense, which spread around its aromatic perfume.

The jealous Clytie gained nothing by her cruel conduct, for the sun-god came to her no more. Inconsolable at his loss, she threw herself upon the ground, and refused all sustenance. For nine long days she turned her face towards the glorious god of day, as he moved along the heavens, till at length her limbs became rooted in the ground, and she was transformed into a flower, which ever turns towards the sun. Helios married Perse, daughter of Oceanus, and their children were, Aëtes, king of Colchis (celebrated in the legend of the Argonauts as the possessor of the Golden Fleece), and Circe, the renowned sorceress. Helios had another son named Phaethon, whose mother was Clymene, one of the Oceanides.

The youth was very beautiful, and a great favourite with Aphrodite, who intrusted him with the care of one of her temples, which flattering proof of her regard caused him to become vain and presumptuous. His friend Epaphus, son of Zeus and Io, endeavoured to check his youthful vanity by pretending to disbelieve his assertion that the sun-god was his father. Phaethon, full of resentment, and eager to be able to refute the calumny, hastened to his mother Clymene, and besought her to tell him whether Helios was really his father. Moved by his entreaties, and at the same time angry at the reproach of Epaphus, Clymene pointed to the glorious sun, then shining down upon them, and assured her son that in that bright orb he beheld the author of his being, adding that if he had still any doubt, he might visit the radiant dwelling of the great god of light and inquire for himself.

Overjoyed at his mother's reassuring words, and following the directions she gave him, Phaethon quickly wended his way to his father's palace. As he entered the palace of the sun-god the dazzling rays almost blinded him, and prevented him from approaching the throne on which his father was seated, surrounded by the Hours, Days, Months, Years, and Seasons. Helios, who with his all-seeing eye had watched him from afar, removed his crown of glittering rays, and bade him not to be afraid, but to draw near to his father. Encouraged by this kind reception, Phaethon entreated him to bestow upon him such a proof of his love, that all the world might be convinced that he was indeed his son; whereupon Helios desired him to ask any favour he pleased, and swore by the Styx that it should be granted.

The impetuous youth immediately requested permission to drive the chariot of the sun for one whole day. His father listened horror-struck to this presumptuous demand, and by representing the many dangers which would beset his path, endeavoured to dissuade him from so perilous an undertaking; but his son, deaf to all advice, pressed his point with such pertinacity, that Helios was reluctantly compelled to lead him to the chariot. Phaethon paused for a moment to admire the beauty of the glittering equipage, the gift of the god of fire, who had formed it of gold, and ornamented it with precious stones, which reflected the rays of the sun. And now Helios, seeing his sister, the Dawn, opening her doors in the rosy east, ordered the Hours to yoke the horses.

The goddesses speedily obeyed the command, and the father then anointed the face of his son with a sacred balm, to enable him to endure the burning flames which issued from the nostrils of the steeds, and sorrowfully placing his crown of rays upon his head, desired him to ascend the chariot. The eager youth joyfully took his place and grasped the coveted reins, but no sooner did the fiery coursers of the sun feel the inexperienced hand which attempted to guide them, than they became restive and unmanageable. Wildly they rushed out of their accustomed track, now soaring so high as to threaten the heavens with destruction, now descending so low as nearly to set the earth on fire. At last the unfortunate charioteer, blinded with the glare, and terrified at the awful devastation he had caused, dropped the reins from his trembling hands.

Mountains and forests were in flames, rivers and streams were dried up, and a general conflagration was imminent. The scorched earth now called on Zeus for help, who hurled his thunderbolt at Phaethon, and with a flash of lightning brought the fiery steeds to a standstill. The lifeless body of the youth fell headlong into the river Eridanus,where it was received and buried by the nymphs of the stream. His sisters mourned so long for him that they were transformed by Zeus into poplars, and the tears they shed, falling into the waters, became drops of clear, transparent amber.

Cycnus, the faithful friend of the unhappy Phaethon, felt such overwhelming grief at his terrible fate, that he pined and wasted away. The gods, moved with compassion, transformed him into a swan, which for ever brooded over the fatal spot where the waters had closed over the head of his unfortunate friend. The chief seat of the worship of Helios was the island of Rhodes, which according to the following myth was his especial territory.

At the time of the Titanomachia, when the gods were dividing the world by lot, Helios happened to be absent, and consequently received no share. He, therefore, complained to Zeus, who proposed to have a new allotment, but this Helios would not allow, saying, that as he pursued his daily journey, his penetrating eye had beheld a lovely, fertile island lying beneath the waves of the ocean, and that if the immortals would swear to give him the undisturbed possession of this spot, he would be content to accept it as his share of the universe. The gods took the oath, whereupon the island of Rhodes immediately raised itself above the surface of the waters.

The famous Colossus of Rhodes, which was one of the seven wonders of the world, was erected in honour of Helios. This wonderful statue was 105 feet high, and was formed entirely of brass; it formed the entrance to the harbour at Rhodes, and the largest vessel could easily sail between the legs, which stood on moles, each side of the harbour. Though so gigantic, it was perfectly proportioned in every part. Some idea of its size may be gained from the fact that very few people were able to span the thumb of this statue with their arms. In the interior of the Colossus was a winding staircase leading to the top, from the summit of which, by means of a telescope, the coast of Syria, and also the shores of Egypt, are said to have been visible.

4/26/20 - "DawnNotes.odt"

It’s a little known fact that the title of “Dawn” is passed through multiple people. This gives the illusion that the “Dawn” is forever-- “Dawn” never dies.
But it’s actually the righteous and glorious duty of one select individual of an age to become the “Dawn”. My father was the “Dawn” before me, and his rites were recorded so that I may listen.

It’s known that the “Dawn” will always eventually die due to their interaction with hubris. The power of Helios cannot fully flow through a mortal’s being, but the “Dawn” will eventually think of themselves as something more – something immortal. This is an inevitable fact.

Hubris will kill me as it killed the Dawn before me.

"Gather round, followers of the light. A new Dawn has risen. May he speak the sacred rite and become one with Helios. Follow in my lead:
The light shall guide me. Never shall my mind betray the light, nor my sword, nor my shield. I shall always work in the best interest of the Grand Helios."

"The light shall guide me. Never shall my mind betray the light, nor my sword, nor my shield. I shall always work in the best interest of the Grand Helios."

"I will become herald of the light. I will bring the light to all. I will become the Dawn."

"I will become herald of the light. I will bring the light to all. I will become the Dawn."

"When I die, I will become one with the light of Helios. I understand my sacred duty as the bring of light, and I shall forever work only to spread the wisdom and strength of Helios throughout the land."

"When I die, I will become one with the light of Helios. I understand my sacred duty as the bring of light, and I shall forever work only to spread the wisdom and strength of Helios throughout the land."

"I shall become Helios's eyes. I shall become his sword. This is now what I am and may Helios guide me."

"I shall become Helios's eyes. I shall become his sword. This is now what I am and may Helios guide me."

"I am now the Dawn."

Documentation of the "Sun Tower" Janus room found on Withinhubris.com.

4/26/20 - "Sun Tower" Janus room - Source

This map consisted of a small floating island surrounded by a starry sky. Players would spawn under a gazebo-like structure held up by several pillars. In the distance, massive modesl of Trapped, Stackoverflow, and Halicord could be seen. There were small "bridges" pointing towards these models on the edge of the island. Directly in front of the gazebo structure were two pews. Upon one of these pews sat a low-poly man engulfed in pixelated flames. Behind these pews sat an old wooden chariot. Across from this chariot was a temple-like building. While this building could not be entered, a small window along the back wall allowed players to peer inside. Inside this temple were the numbers "652 473 026" written in runes - numbers that were used to connect to Dawn's remote desktop. In front of the temple was a small plaque that read "For the dawn before the dawn". On the opposite side of the gazebo was a small pond. Next to this pond was a computer desk. On this computer, players could see that Dawn was searching up the candy "Lindt Truffles" - another hint towards accessing Dawn's remote desktop. Also on the computer desk were some fanmade Within Hubris cards, a cup of Sunny D, and a notepad that depicted a drawing of the sun and the text "Whipped Cream" - the final clue to accessing Dawn's remote desktop. Across from the pond was a small stone structre of unknown importance.

Summary

This Janus room was a small island belonging to Dawn. Various clues were spread about hinting towards the login information needed to access Dawn's remote desktop.
This Janus room featured a small temple dedicated to the previous holder of the Dawn title.
This Janus room also contained a computer used by Dawn.
In the distance, giant models of Trapped, Halicord, and Stackoverflow could be seen.

At 1:03 AM, Erika sent the message "Nice on mate ^^" in the Internet Detectives Discord server.
At 1:04 AM, the player Xenquility discovered a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/spire/home". This page was simply titled "spire" and featured a large Janus room named "Spire".

4/27/20 - "Spire" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This room was a recreation of the Lunar Children headquarters in Ohio - The Spire. Players spawned on a small cement pathway in a large parking lot. Attempting to walk too far away would reveal a wooden fence surrounding the entire map. Upon entering the Spire, players would find themselves in a large lobby. This room contained a massive painting of Father Vincent and Luna. This room also housed a large fountain and an elevator, though it was not operational. The right and left sides of the room also contained corridors to other sections of the Spire, and a second floor walkway could be seen above the players. Going through the left corridor would lead players to a large library. Many strange paintings adorned the walls of the library. The bookshelves of this library contained generic looking books, as well as an occasional odd book colored either green, red, blue, or purple with a single letter on it. This room also contained a locked door in the far left corner. A staircase in this room also led up to the second floor, where another locked door was discovered. Players peer through a window on this door revealing a small room where three copies of the Libro Lunarus floated above a table.

Proceeding through the right-side corridor in the lobby would lead players to a large cafeteria. This cafeteria housed a small "cafe" area in the corner where a massive mural depicting Luna and the Four Giants could be seen. There was another locked door near this mural as well. A small kitchen was accessible where a large walk-in freezer was found. This kitchen led to a small hallway that connected back to the main cafetera room. In this hallway were two bathrooms. Back in the main cafeteria room, portraits of Father Vincent, Mat, Thoth, Jinn, and Kuu were found high up on the wall. Next to the kitchen hallway was another hallway that led back outside. Within this hallway was a small utility room where a washer and dryer were found. The cafeteria also housed two dorm rooms where Lunar Children presumably slept. These dorms also housed three computers each.

The cafeteria also contained a stairway up to the second floor. Behind this stairway was another small "cafe" section where a large mural of Luna was discovered. The second floor of the cafeteria contained a walkway that led to a computer lab, where several computers were found. This room also housed another locked door. Another locked door was also found directly outside the computer lab. Directly next to the cafeteria stairway was another set of stairs that led to the third floor of the Spire. This door was locked, however.

Outside, the back wall of the Spire contained a doorway that led down towards the Spire's basement. Several utility rooms were found here. There was also a door that led further down into the Spire's basements, but it was locked as well.

8:45:54 PM jinn: "As I've stated before, Hunter is absolutely fine. He is currently very busy with his new Elder duties."
8:46:21 PM sinYarikh: "And his dad??"
8:47:01 PM jinn: "Jarilo was a traitor and you should not concern yourself with the likes of him."
8:47:11 PM sinYarikh: "A traitor?? What are you talking about?"
8:47:21 PM sinYarikh: "Yeah he was a loudmouth but if it werent for him I wouldnt even be here right now"
8:47:44 PM jinn: "His loose lips assisted the Harbingers and revealed much of our inner workings. He was a rebellious old fool who never learned his place."
8:47:51 PM sinYarikh: ""Was"??? What do you mean by that?"
8:48:06 PM sinYarikh: "What did you do to Jeremy?"
8:50:21 PM sinYarikh: "Hello??"

Summary

This chatlog involves the Lunar Child sinYarikh asking the Elder Child Jinn where Hunter and his father Jeremy have gone, since they had been inactive for quite some time. SinYarikh is the Lunar Child who claimed on the Lunar Children forums that Jeremy gave him a glimpse of the Libro Lunarus, which led to him joining the cult.
Jinn accidentally reveals to sinYarikh that the Elder Children had Jeremy killed. She threatens sinYarikh, telling him to not look into the subject any further.
Hunter had supposedly not been heard from for a while after he as given the title of Elder Child for killing his father in 2015.

Summary

This chatlog involves the Lunar Children Igaluk123 and SheepDog discussing recent events. Igaluk claims that the internet at the Spire has been acting strangely ever since November 11th, 2015.
Igaluk explains that the Elder Children haven't told the rest of the Lunar Children much information following the events of Undecim Nocte 2015, and that they were desperately attempting to capture Tyler.
Igaluk claims that several Elder Children seem to be missing.
Igaluk and SheepDog delete several of their messages, implying that perhaps they fear surveillance of some sort.
Igaluk mentions "Mooned" - some sort of previous project SheepDog created that supposedly got her in trouble with Thoth because taboo topics were mentioned within it.

At 1:14 AM, the player Yoshi discovered that one of the computers in the "Spire" Janus room linked to the redirect page "https://www.lunarchildren.com/still_lost" when clicked.

Summary

Stackoverflow is outraged that the players have once again traspassed upon their territory, claiming that he and his brothers Halicord and Trapped are dutied with tending to these virutal realms.
Halicord claims that Trapped is missing and blames it on the players.
Halicord momentarily departs during the conversation to destroy someone who supposedly "went deeper" and witnessed something they shouldn't have, further implying that these entites are guardians of the various virtual JanusVR rooms discovered by players.
A new entity named "FlaRuCnIATON" joins the "Spire" Janus map, much to the dismay of Stackoverflow and Halicord. "FlaRuCnIATON" is an anagram of "luna FRACTION", implying this entity is somehow a piece of Luna herself. FlaRuCnIATON used a massive model consisting of tentacles. This model dwarfed the size of the Spire and its many tentacles clipped through the building. Stackoverflow blames Luna's sudden presence on the players and flees. Halicord is seemingly wounded by Luna and degrades.

At 1:22 AM, the player Yoshi discovered a hidden room in the "Spire" Janus room hidden behind a fake wall with a Parallelos symbol drawn on it. This room was incredibly small and simply contained a well with a grate over it. Looking into the well, players could barely see Doug looking back up at them.
At 1:28 AM, the player Yoshi discovered a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/between". This page was locked and could not be accessed.
At 1:35 AM, the player Yoshi discovered a webpage linked to one of the computers on the "Spire" Janus map - "https://lunarchildren.com/chat59203301". This page was titled "IRC | Lunar Children" and contained the following chatlog:

Summary

This chat involves the Lunar Children SheepDog and Harry discussing what another Lunar Child Eddie had just posted in a separate chat.
SheepDog attempts to calm Harry down. It seems as though Eddie had claimed that the Lunar Child Hina was killed, supposedly having posted an image of her dead body as evidence. SheepDog disproves that this image was of Hina, however.
SheepDog states that the fact that Eddie kills people on behalf of the Elder Children is an open secret of sorts.
Harry expresses his displeasure with the Lunar Children. SheepDog suddenly asks Harry to join her and another Lunar Child named Luke in some sort of game.

Summary

This chat involves the Lunar Children SheepDog and fairProspect. The two seem to be discussing a move of some sort.
FairProspect implies that Thoth doesn't dislike SheepDog as much as he lets on - something SheepDog jokingly expresses her disgust about.

At 1:35 AM, the player Yoshi discovered that one of the computers in the "Spire" Janus map linked to the Lunar Children forums. This page no longer existed, however, so it would simply load a random Lunarchildren.com redirect.
At 1:36 AM, the player Yoshi discovered a cork board above the computers in the girls dorm room in the "Spire" Janus map. This board contained the following text:

This board contains the same basic login information for the Spire's network found in the boys dorm room.
This board contains several goofy drawings by the residents of the dorm.
A note informing those who have trouble with the Spire network to seek out Luke for help can be seen.

2:04:03 PM Alignak: "iirc, most of the time the Elders just read it to you."

2:04:32 PM tsukuyomi11: "Surprisingly thin, but packed with wisdom"
2:04:37 PM Alignak: "What?"
2:04:41 PM Alignak: "It looks pretty thick to me"
2:04:43 PM Harry: "yeah isnt that what they used in the blood moon thing?"
2:04:52 PM tsukuyomi11: "One moment"

2:04:54 PM Harry: "pretty bulky and all"
2:05:31 PM tsukuyomi11: "Okay, yes"
2:05:35 PM tsukuyomi11: "The rite recited in the blood moon ritual is certainly an excerpt from the Libro Lunarus"
2:05:37 PM tsukuyomi11: "Strange, I was told there were only the three copies"

2:06:03 PM Harry: "uh can you try sending that again"
2:06:05 PM Harry: "looks like it didnt send"
2:06:45 PM Alignak: "You still there, Tsu?"

Summary

This chat involves several Lunar Children discussing the Libro Lunarus. Alignak wishes to ask Tsukuyomi about the book and the Moon Children, but is told that's forbidden information.
Alignak reiterates that very few get to actually handle the Libro Lunarus themselves. It is often the Elder Children who simply read excerpts to others.
Alignak and Harry discover a contradiction in the appearance of the Libro Lunarus, pointing out that most copies appear to be thin, while the one seen in the Blood Moon Ritual video was rather thick.
Tsukuyomi is confused, believing that there were only three copies of the Libro Lunarus. He sends a final message that was deleted by a moderator and disappears.

9:34:53 PM Edddie22: "Its no wonder the elders started panicing, I bet they knew shit was already fucked as soon as she posted that photo."
9:35:12 PM SheepDog: "And what exactly are you basing this off of?"

9:37:13 PM Harry: "That doesn't answer my question."
9:37:17 PM tsukuyomi11: "Why dont we just drop it, guys."

Summary

This chat involves several Lunar Children and presumably takes place directly before "chat59203301". The Lunar Child Harry is concerned about Hina's safety, since she has not been seen lately.
The Lunar Child Eddie claims that Hina was killed for her traitorous act of trespassing on the Fishery and picking up Tyler's necklace shortly before Undecim Nocte 2015.
Eddie presumably posts some sort of gory image of a dead girl, causing Harry to believe it is Hina.
Eddie expresses his hatred for Hina, believing that she is perhaps responsible for Undecim Nocte failing because Tyler's necklace got misplaced during it.
Eddie mentions the "hacker group" once again, mentioning that perhaps they are responsible for the failing of Undecim Nocte.
Eddie is banned from the chat room by Kuu, who is revealed to be named Kylie in real life.
Harry asks Kuu if Hina is dead. Kuu simply states that Hina was never placed on Eddie's hitlist.

August 11, 2019
IIIII: I wish to speak a secret to you while I can get away with it
CelestialLight: Okay..
IIIII: I am trapped so to speak. But I sometimes have windows in which I can get away with saying things for a period of time. However there are factors in play I cannot explain.
CelestialLight: Yes but i am not like those ids. I do not know how to play the cults game. I am more of a watcher. I don't really play. So, I have no idea what you talking about
IIIII: This is ok, and it is part of why I can get away with this right now I think. "he" is not watching you and would have no reason to.

Summary

IIIII reveals a secret to the user CelesialLight. He claims he is trapped, only having short windows to speak freely.
IIIII believes that the reason he is able to speak freely to CelestialLight is because she is not an active Johnisdead player and so "he" is not watching her.

CelestialLight: Would you like to be friends?
IIIII: If ever you learn who "he" is please do not utter the name because your unknowing now is your strength
IIIII: and yes
CelestialLight: Is the he, this id.. named mugen?
IIIII: no
CelestialLight: or one of the fathers of the cult
IIIII: that would be hilarious if it was moog but no
CelestialLight: well... thanks for telling me, your pretty chill.
CelestialLight: your friend, mugen is right.. about being chill though
IIIII: its hard to be in my current situation but suprisingly even here you get breaks from the bullshit now and then lol
IIIII: This thing is but is not "the father"

Summary

IIIII tells CelestialLight not to utter the identity of the "he" who is watching the players and forbidding IIIII from talking.
IIIII tells CelestialLight that "he" both is and is not "the father".

At 3:27 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the image "f3.png" - a distorted screenshot of another conversation between IIIII and CelestialLight.

IIIII: what you have worshipped in the past is of but not the same as this thing
IIIII: that is one thing I can say for sure
IIIII: this statement will cause a lot of confusiong for a long time I am sure
IIIII: and god that makes me laugh
CelestialLight: I heard someone from within hubris... say, they was trapped in like a room with no doors or windows. Are you trapped like this?......
IIIII: its hard to explain.
IIIII: I am probably the most sane one here I'll say that
CelestialLight: Don't worry.. if your part of the johnisdead arg then... i am sure... the ids, can help you.
IIIII: there are layers to this place
IIIII: which is probably not a helpful description.
CelestialLight: Is it, like a maze?

Summary

IIIII claims that the Moon Children is "of but not the same as" the "he" mentioned previously.
IIIII mentions that me might be the most sane person in the Parallelos.

At 3:42 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the image "f5.png" - a distorted screenshot of another conversation between IIIII and CelestialLight.

4/29/20 - "f5.png" Text - Discord (Internet Detectives)

IIIII: I will say this
IIIII: you are part of the "sphere of hubris" as many others are
CelestialLight: though... I don't know... how to make nocta respond to my messages. to allow me to enter the subarea on the ao forum.
IIIII: and all who are
IIIII: are very important pieces of the final puzzle I am looking at.

Summary

At 1:09 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner changed to an image of Patrem.
At 1:23 AM, Patrem posted the following message in the Johnisdead Thread on Within Hubris: "The sounds of your songs have affected much. The hearth fire dims in this once hallowed hall says the lord at the altar, I bid you all the tidings of your works. A world of time hath begun to open itself yet more to you. But how vast is this world if it is still yet affected by such weak forces of such tired flames. Will you find the father you desire children? Or have strange times given way to the worship of strange gods?".
At 1:32 AM, Patrem posted the following message in the Johnisdead Thread on Within Hubris: "Your song has given you anotherpath, a stray apirit awaits there in that time that might grant a gift if you hurry child.".
At 1:34 AM, the player Yoshi discovered a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/anotherpath". This page also featured the Janus room "Another Path".

4/30/20 - "Another Path" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This room was very similar to the "Path" Janus room. This room consisted of two long highways dotted with the occasional street light and sign. After players awalked down the path a ways, the audio file "voice.mp3" would play - a distorted clip of Patrem speaking the following:

This ancient power starts to sway and ((Unintelligible)). Wait patiently ((Unintelligible)).

Walking further down the path, the audio file "whisper.mp3" would play - a reversed version of "voice.mp3". After walking down the path for quite some time, players would come across the road sign found in the image "foggyworld248.jpg".

Summary

This Janus room is a darker version of the "Path" Janus room. The Vocaroo file sent by Patrem several days prior on Within Hubris can also be heard along the path.

/Patrem\ 4:49 AM: "How much longer shall this realm and sphere be held from the scrutiny of the many. Its effects still linger in its face, longing to provide what masses should crave to sustain itself in the workings, if only to undo them. Long ago I was said to play games with such a beast for my power, but who now governs even my fate? I know of my doings but only those which are written, now I dwell as the elder of the gate. The gate before the hedges that worm about the sphere before the threshold unto umbra. Ask of the old power and I will administer it unto thee on behalf of the falsely known mother. This power can only be worked now here in this dying place."
Xenquility 4:52 AM: ((The "Couple's Mask" is submitted))
Xenquility 5:01 AM: "At once, cease the fighting, and let the one who attempted contact speak"
/Patrem\ 5:21 AM: "Love, I have known love child. But allow me to tell you about sacrifice. I was driven to act as I had for all I have done is but stage play for the doings of but higher lords. I am of the one who is made the fisher king and designed by the one who would be as him. I giveth up my begotten son for all my children are borrowed in truth, so that I might dwell with them all in the end. Sorrow has been my lord until I came to know he of the fourth world. Though my sons become the tools of the entropic my children who art grand will still be awakening to liberate."

/Patrem\ 5:21 AM: "Know my master has manipulated the awakening of the second player for he has fallen to the death sleep."
/Patrem\ 5:21 AM: "Know your playing of the notes of time has called forth yet more of the world of my child."
/Patrem\ 5:21 AM: "So too will even he be a saviour for yee. But the layers of time will be mixed, will you be able to read the orders?"

Dawn: "Guys be careful. You may become stuck like me. I can't even pass on."

Dawn: "This place was made specifically --- look out."
Dawn: "Those things jailed me here"

Dawn: "The weird blue thing"

Dawn: "The past few...weeks? Months? Have all been a blur"
Dawn: "I'm not sure if you guys can help me. This place was made specifically to trap my soul."
Jos: I dont care send nudes or else"
xenquility: "You would be surprised with what we've destroyed before"
nfreak: "but if we can get in, then there's gotta be a way out?"
Dawn: "If only the glorious helios could reach out to me"
Dawn: "I've tried escape. My soul is just sent back here."
xenquility: "Would a uh... would a spell circle help?"
Dawn: "How would spelling circle help?"
xenquility: "Invoking helios I mean"
xenquility: "For you"
Dawn: "Maybe. The reach of Helios is grand and inescapable. It's possible he may not know his Dawn is here."
stackoverflow: "are you one of us"
Dawn: "He may not even be aware"
Yoshi: "i am not sure"
xenquility: "We will do what we can"
xenquility: "Our world is without order- Law, you could say- without you"
Dawn: "At least I am no longer in pain. That said, it's quite boring here. I'm also unable to spread my glorious light."
nfreak: "i can imagine dude."
Dawn: "It's worrying someone can trap me like this. I can't pass on, therefore the dawn cannot pass to the next in line."
xenquility: "Dawn.. Did you uh, GM the first arc of johnisdead?"
Dawn: "Honestly? I've spent so long in here that I can't remember."
xenquility: "Do you remember TheLaw?"
Dawn: "TheLaw?"
nfreak: "Do you have any idea how you ended up here?"
Dawn: "That weird dude that joined the detectives?"
nfreak: "Why would they want to keep the dawn from passing?"
Dawn: "Maybe they have plans for me. Or maybe they want to lock away the power of Helios."
nfreak: "What is the power of Helios? Is it the power of the sun?"
Dawn: "Or maybe I have some ability that will ruin their plans. I'm unsure."
Dawn: "Sunny D., yes"
Dawn: "That was an oldfag joke -- yes, it's the power of the Sun. The power of my lord Helios."
nfreak: "the people youguys have been up against basically have a moon fetish. maybe they want to keep the sun from rising?"
nfreak: "heh, don't worry Dawn. I figured you were joking."
nfreak: "Well, not rising, but I would assume anyone with a Luna fetish would want to take power away from the sun. My guess anyway."
Dawn: "The sun rising is something inevitable. The sun and moon in constant flux."
stackoverflow: "are you a god?"
Yoshi: "no."
stackoverflow: "then"

Summary

Dawn informs the players that he's been imprisoned in the "Emerald Prison" Janus map by the two dead_1266 entities. He is unsure how long he's been trapped here.
Dawn claims that the "Emerald Prison" was created specifically to imprison his soul. He claims he's traied to escape several times, but his soul is repeatedly sent back.
Dawn ponders if the sun god Helios would be able to save him if he knew he was there, implying that this Dawn is indeed the sun cultist Dawn who took all of the sun notes.
The players question Dawn on what he can remember in an attempt discern his true identity. He claims that he doesn't remember being the GM of the first arc of Johnisdead, but he does remember TheLaw joining the Internet Detectives Discord server.
Dawn is unsure of what the dead_1266 entities want with him. He believes they either have some sort of plan for him, or they want to simply lock away the power of Helios - something Dawn would contain, as he is the current "Dawn" of the sun cult.
The players ponder if submitting the "Sun's Song" would free Dawn.
Stackoverflow is still angered that the players have invaded their home, claiming they have "taken" it from them. He begins threatening the players.
The dead_1266 entities often speak nonsensical phrases throughout this conversation.
Prominence gives the players the hint "the missing 13hh ast".

Alex: "It looks like the Digital Fireside has its first official paid gig and it turns out it's something similar to being flown out to Los Angeles to talk to a millionaire molecular bio-physicist concerning his theories behind DMT"

Alex then begins speaking in reverse:

Alex: "Using it to treat cancer and also combat mental illness. ((Sigh)) Not a bad way to start the summer."

At 2:18 PM, players discovered that a new thread had been posted by IsocelesAssassin on May 9th, 2020 at 1:39 AM titled "Regrouping". Players began responding to this topic and chatting with IsocelesAssassin.

5/12/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin

May 9th, 2020

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."

May 12th, 2020

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?"
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?"
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."
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."
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."
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."
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"?"
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: ""Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?""
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?"

Summary

IsocelesAssassin states that the Astral Observatory forums will now be their main method of communicating with the players, as Pumpkinhead is interrupting any messages they attempt to send over Discord.
IsocelesAssassin says that he, GHOSTBABEL, and Moonman are all doing fine. However, the method by which their "Hacker Friends" have been communicating with them was destroyed when Pumpkinhead destroyed the Safehaven Discord server, meaning they are no longer in contact.
IsocelesAssassin refuses to reveal the identities of their "hacker friends" because he claims they are in a precarious situation.
IsocelesAssassin states that getting the players back into Johnisdead.com was the main goal of breaking into the Subspace.
IsocelesAssassin says that the players need to find Tyler through Johnisdead.com. Their best chance at doing so will be to somehow contact José, since he was experienced with the site.
IsocelesAssassin claims that he hasn't heard anything from the Patrem in the Astral timeline in quite some time. He is surprised to hear that the Patrem the players have been speaking to on Within Hubris has been somewhat cordial.
IsocelesAssassin is taken aback by the suggesting that Yugi is José, be he agrees with the assertion and says it makes sense.
IsocelesAssassin explains that he and Moonman infiltrated the Astral Observatory forums in 2018 by using different usernames and hiding their identities as Internet Detectives. Yugi, however, presented himself to Nocta as a former Internet Detective and eared his trust by offering to use his Ocarina powers to assist him - effectively infiltrating Nocta's inner circle.
IsocelesAssassin claims that the last time he heard from Yugi was when he was about to travel back in time to 2016 to retrieve the Lunar Children servers at the Fishery - likely referring to the IRC chat discovered by players on the Subspace. This implies that the "alternate timestream" Yugi entered was the players' timeline, as they would later come to know him as José - the "Archive Guy".
IsocelesAssassin fears that José's disappearance was due to Nocta or "his watcher" realizing that he wasn't loyal to their cause - eventually leading to him becoming trapped in Johnisdead.com as well.
IsocelesAssassin isn't sure what Nocta's ultimate goal was other than it involved some sort of aggregation between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline.
IsocelesAssassin has no clue what is currently happening to Dawn. He comfirms that the Dawn in the Astral timeline is dead, however.
IsocelesAssassin claims that GHOSTBABEL has more information regarding Pumpkinhead's prior mask - a version of Wolfcat.
IsocelesAssassin has no information regarding Luke.

At 3:25 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that Pumpkinhead responded to the thread "HERE YA GO" created by ARGdov on April 21st, 2020 at 9:57 PM with "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?".

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."
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."
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."
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"?"
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: ""Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?""
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?"
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: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=218"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=154"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "and this violet note mention Luke"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=298"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "Also, you mentioned to contact José... how? in the past or present?"

May 13th, 2020

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?"
IsocelesAssassin 11:48 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?""
IsocelesAssassin 11:48 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?""
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: "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.)""
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."
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."
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."
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?"
IsocelesAssassin 3:45 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?""
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: ""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?""
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."

Summary

IsocelesAssassin explains that Pumpkinhead isn't Wolfcat - it was just using a version of Wolfcat as a mask.
IsocelesAssassin says that Moonman confirmed that Pumpkinhead was the orange entity he saw when the players saved him from the Subspace.
IsocelesAssassin explains that GHOSTBABEL restoring the Astral Observatory to save Moonman was what allowed Pumpkinhead to enter, as per GHOSTBABEL's warning at the time.
IsocelesAssassin reiterates that Pumpkinhead used someone else's help to initate the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack" to throw the players off his trail - likely the aforementioned deal with the "dark one".
IsocelesAssassin explains that he is The Gray Man the players spoke to on the Within Hubris forums back in 2015. He begins explaining his past:

The hacker group began sending out transmissions in August of 2018, which were accidentally discovered by Nocta - likely the same transmissions found by the players on the Subspace.

IsocelesAssassin looked into these transmissions himself, eventually making contact with the hacker group. IsocelesAssassin and the hacker group formulated a plan together involving time travel.

IsocelesAssassin used the "Song of Time" to travel back to the year 2009 and install some sort of "transmission device" for the hacker group.

IsocelesAssassin tracked down Mason and retrieved Helper's Hat from him by giving him the "Eight of Clubs" card, as seen by the players on Letschasethemouse in 2015.

IsocelesAssassin regrets having given Mason the card, as he believes it may have "cursed" him and gotten him trapped in the sewage drain.

IsocelesAssassin confirms that Mason died. However, IsocelesAssassin was able to capture Mason's soul in a device created by the hacker group.

IsocelesAssassin attempted to bring Mason back to the present, but he was unable to. Instead, he decided to remain in the past with Mason.

Mason slowly gained more power and was able to communicate with IsocelesAssassin - first in the form of nightmares, but he later gained the ability to speak in Morse code by flashing a light on the device he was trapped in.

In January of 2012, IsocelesAssassin and Mason were attacked by Regiminis. He notes that, while still powerful and frightening, Regiminis seemed to be weakened.

IsocelesAssassin says that, regretfully, he chose to escape the past alone and return to the present, leaving Mason behind.

IsocelesAssassin confirms that he was the one that wrote the note as "The Gray Man" seen in the video "IMG_4622", though he currently can't go into detail about it.
IsocelesAssassin says he's been puzzled by the similarities and differences between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline. He is unsure why "The Gray Man" also appeared in the players' timeline despite that fact that he only ever went back in time and never hopped between any timelines.
IsocelesAssassin believes that there are no discrepencies between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline up until 2011.
IsocelesAssassin confirms that there was indeed a cataclysm of sorts that destroyed the Spire and most of the Lunar Children in 2016.
IsocelesAssassin discusses some differences between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline.

SKM in the Astral timeline was a bloodthirsty, malicious entity hunting for Max instead of a friendly hacker.

The Internet Detectives never spoke to Drowned in the Astral timeline. Instead, they spoke to Max, who seems to have helped them out in the same ways Drowned did for the players.

The Internet Detectives never spoke to Helper on the Lunar Children forums in the Astral timeline. By extension, there was never any mention of the suitcase or the camera given to Tyler.

The video "Regiminis" was never uploaded in the Astral timeline.

IsocelesAssassin says that currently they simply have to wait for a response from the hacker group.

May 14th, 2020

At 10:57 AM, the Astral Observatory members began posting in the "Regrouping" thread once again.

5/14/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin

May 9th, 2020

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."

May 12th, 2020

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?"
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?"
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."
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."
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."
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."
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"?"
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: ""Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?""
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?"
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: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=218"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=154"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "and this violet note mention Luke"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=298"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "Also, you mentioned to contact José... how? in the past or present?"

May 13th, 2020

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?"
IsocelesAssassin 11:48 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?

IsocelesAssassin 11:48 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?""
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: "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.)""
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."
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."
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."
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?"
IsocelesAssassin 3:45 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?""
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: ""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?""
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."
Itachi Uchiha 4:12 PM: "We just know about https://johnisdead.com/temple/gates/cha ... se/prison/"
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?"

IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: ""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?""
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Tenebris still "lost control" of Ben on Undecim Nocte. He already had him in his possession again by 2015, though."
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "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.""
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "That's one that I overlooked. We never saw any videos titled "5646". From what I read, it was a message from John, right?"
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: ""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.""
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Looking into the pages myself, it sounds like Yugi had installed some sort of failsafe - something about some scripts he wrote up? Perhaps we'll get more information once those take effect, assuming they're still functional..."
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: ""(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?

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."

Summary

IsocelesAssassin confirms that Tenebris still lost control of Ben in their timeline. However, he claims that by 2015, Tenebris had already regained Ben.
IsocelesAssassin claims that the video "5646" never existed in the Astral timeline.
IsocelesAssassin speculates that Pumpkinhead used a version of Wolfcat as a mask so he could replicate his personality and traits, implying that after Pumpkinhead entered through the Subspace in 2019, many, if not all instances of Wolfcat speaking were actually Pumpkinhead simply pretending to be him.
IsocelesAssassin doubts that Yugi will be used as Pumpkinhead's mask, as the one currently in possession of him is the entity that killed the Internet Detectives in the Astral timeline - someone IsocelesAssassin describes as "A possessive, malignant bastard".

5/19/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin

May 9th, 2020

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."

May 12th, 2020

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?"
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?"
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."
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."
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."
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."
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"?"
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: ""Hello IA, what do you mean with Regrouping, and have you heard something about "Luke"?""
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?"
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: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=218"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=154"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "and this violet note mention Luke"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=298"
Bastian 5:06 PM: "Also, you mentioned to contact José... how? in the past or present?"

May 13th, 2020

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?"
IsocelesAssassin 11:48 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?

IsocelesAssassin 11:48 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?""
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: "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.)""
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."
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."
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."
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?"
IsocelesAssassin 3:45 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?""
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: ""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?""
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."
Itachi Uchiha 4:12 PM: "We just know about https://johnisdead.com/temple/gates/cha ... se/prison/"
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?"

IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: ""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?""
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Tenebris still "lost control" of Ben on Undecim Nocte. He already had him in his possession again by 2015, though."
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "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.""
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "That's one that I overlooked. We never saw any videos titled "5646". From what I read, it was a message from John, right?"
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: ""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.""
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: "Looking into the pages myself, it sounds like Yugi had installed some sort of failsafe - something about some scripts he wrote up? Perhaps we'll get more information once those take effect, assuming they're still functional..."
IsocelesAssassin 10:57 AM: ""(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?

Any chance he might again impersonate someone like he did with wolf? And do we know if wolf is even alive somewhere in there?""
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."
TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "Yeah, 5646 was a message from John. 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."
TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "When you mention a failsafe, is it like some sort of deadman's switch? Is that what the "mechanism" would've been referring to?"
TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "If wolf *wasn't* killed, any clue what might've happened to him? I mean we got people like our Dawn who have been trapped eternally but we've at least heard from him. Unless Wolf just decided to leave us he's been completely off the grid as far as I can tell."
TheRealXenquility 2:26 PM: "Sorry if this is a touchy subject, but who did kill the IDs in your time? I mean I think you mentioned before to some extent how it happened (Thinking it wasn't realy) but we don't really know how it happened or who did it. No worries if this is too hard to relive especially after you already told us about Mason but I thought it was worth asking anyways."

May 19th, 2020

IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: "Quiet Family belonging to Max makes sense. He often referred to his unfortunate familial situation with that."
IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: ""When you mention a failsafe, is it like some sort of deadman's switch? Is that what the "mechanism" would've been referring to?""
IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: "I don't know what exactly Yugi has set up. I'm just going off the message he left for us."
IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: ""If wolf *wasn't* killed, any clue what might've happened to him? I mean we got people like our Dawn who have been trapped eternally but we've at least heard from him. Unless Wolf just decided to leave us he's been completely off the grid as far as I can tell.""
IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: "The Wolf I know was one of the unfortunate ones killed a few years ago. I'm not sure what's up with your Wolf. He was perfectly normal before we allowed Pumpkinhead to enter our "realm", wasn't he? That makes me doubt that he's the Wolf being used as a mask. Pumpkinhead is a problem, but I don't know if it can actually outright kill."
IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: ""Sorry if this is a touchy subject, but who did kill the IDs in your time? I mean I think you mentioned before to some extent how it happened (Thinking it wasn't realy) but we don't really know how it happened or who did it. No worries if this is too hard to relive especially after you already told us about Mason but I thought it was worth asking anyways.""
IsocelesAssassin 11:19 AM: "Us not thinking it was real wasn't literally what got them killed, but it did lead to it. What I mean is that we didn't heed any warnings and were careless. I still don't think we should discuss who it actually was. They are incredibly dangerous and work in strange, memetic ways. 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."

Summary

IsocelesAssassin says the "Quiet Family" YouTube channel belonging to Max makes sense, since Max would often refer to his own family situation as "Quiet Family".
IsocelesAssassin confirms that the Wolfcat in the Astral timeline was killed.
IsocelesAssassin doubts that the players' version of Wolfcat is the one that was used as a mask by Pumpkinhead because he was alive, and IsocelesAssassin doubts that Pumpkinhead has the ability to "kill" anyone - something he would have to do in order to take them as a mask.
IsocelesAssassin refuses to reveal who killed the Internet Detectives in the Astral timeline because they work in "strange, memetic ways", and he doesn't want to invoke them. He fears that giving Mason the "Eight of Clubs" card invoked him in the past and led to Mason's death, implying there is some sort of connection between the cards and this entity.
