IIIII: I just feel so bad for the kid and all the shit he has been through. I really do wanna give him a hug and say "hey me too buddy", but I don't relaly have time to ((illegible)) either. The thing that took him and likes to take a lot of other shit to is now very aware of what I am doing.
IIIII: I probably should have taken the time to explain a few more things because right off the bat I have already made it seem like I am Tyler in the normal way they would undIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIII: ((A link to the Internet Detectives Discord server encoded as binary is sent))

Miss Jackson: Listen: i am not afraid of those who command you or at your dear friends. I'm looking for people in large spaces and, politely, I would like to know where I can find these people. I'm so sorry if you are in a bad moment, but, dude, me too.
Miss Jackson: What the actual fuck?
Miss Jackson: Dude
Miss Jackson: Are you ok?
Miss Jackson: Answer me

IIIII: ((The image "sleeproom.gif" is sent))

4/21/20 - Ryukaki QnA Excerpt - Discord (PM's)

sgtpieman: Ah, so there isn't any plans for you to have an epic battle with a BEN-possessed Jadusable at the end of the ARG? Depending on what all happens in Arc 3 determining the outcome of the battle? Because I was kinda hoping for that...

On a different note, did you actually lose your bike somehow or were you just acting?

APseudonym: I'm not sure what Jad has planned for the 3rd arc.

I did not in fact lose the bike, just acting. Yes, the bike is gone, you must all help to rescue it. It needs to be saved. It is lonely. On the other hand, it was a pretty nice bike, but the fellow who lent it to me didn't put much air in the tires, so I had to ride like ~10 minutes on crappy-air tires to and from the place where I shot the video.

(Note: At this point the argument between Alex Hall and Ryukaki had already begun in a separate thread.)
