ARGdov: I bet your loving this confusion
IIIII: Oh I am.
IIIII: This is how I win.
ARGdov: I can't even tell if this is (lC? Cannon?) or not
IIIII: Everything is a game now
IIIII: He wanted desperately to get his message out and thought I would not notice if he did it this way. This is really funny. It won't happen again.

Summary

  • The player ARGdov accuses IIIII of loving the confusion surrounding the ARG. The Mask Entity as IIIII admits that he does, claiming "This is how I win.".
  • The Mask Entity as IIIII claims that everything is a game now.
  • The Mask Entity claims that some sort of message sent to the player ARGdov was sent by the Rune Entity.

smiley:
...ou should know, right?

...ell some things I just try to avoid saying outloud due to my current position (forgive me for I have a feeling this is a statement I will not be able...)
...gger than him, much how we all are as kids when we must be made to truly grow up in this world I'd go on to say that in the same way we al...

4/21/20 - "forgotten.jpg" - Discord (Internet Detectives)

IIIII: Oh I dumped it
IIIII: as an old compatriot would have said

Miss Jackson: Not a prob dude
Miss Jackson: Do u know where I can find that kind of people?

IIIII: There is one place but there are a couple problems
IIIII: if you go to them
IIIII: I can't exactly talk to you anymore
IIIII: But you will probably figure out why once you get there

Miss Jackson: Who said that?
Miss Jackson: "Oh. This is gonna be very funny"
Miss Jackson: Who said this?

IIIII: the worst thing about my current condition

Miss Jackson: Are you a Moon Children or BEN Drowned is ne of your nicest friend?

Summary

  • The player Miss Jackson asks an unknown question - presumably something relating to Ben Drowned or Johnisdead. IIIII is seemingly referring them to the Internet Detectives - likely moments before sending them the invite to the Internet Detectives Discord server as a binary code as seen on August 17, 2019.
  • IIIII tells the player Miss Jackson that once they enter the Internet Detectives Discord server, they will no longer be able to speak to them, which IIIII claims is "the worst thing about my current condition".

4/21/20 - "forgotten.png" - Discord (Internet Detectives)

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))

Summary

  • This screenshot shows the conversation between the player Miss Jackson and IIIII that the players failed to ask for on August 17th, 2019 - something the Mask Entity taunted them for later that day.
  • IIIII claims that they feels bad for Ben.
  • IIIII sent the player Miss Jackson the image "sleeproom.gif" - the distorted image of a green room containing a chair that was sent in the Internet Detectives Discord server later that day.
  • At 2:34 AM, IIIII became active on Discord and sent the player Xenquility an excerpt from the Ryukaki QnA that took place on the original Within Hubris forum:

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.)

  • At 2:37 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner changed to an image of Patrem.
  • At an unknown time, IIIII became active on Discord and sent the player ADULT_LINK an unarchived image.

  • At 3:09 AM, the Rune Entity as IIIII became active on Discord and sent the player Deadhead the runes "ᚱ/ᛞ/ᛗᛉ", which translate to the date "5/23/2015".
  • At 3:14 AM, the Rune Entity as IIIII became active on Discord and sent the player Deadhead the runes "ᚦᛖ ᛫ ᚱᛟᚹᛋ ᛫ ᚫᚱᛖ ᛫ ᚹᚪᚣᚹᚫᚱᛞ ᛫ ᚣᛟᛝ ᛫ ᛋᛏᚱᚫᚣᛋᛝᚱ", which translate to "The rows are wayward young straysinger".

Lunar Mysticism
Since ancient times, the moon has been worshipped as a sacred symbol that holds unnatural powers. Some believe the moon is responsible for everything ranging from mood swings to the passage of time. The following teachings have been found to be the most consistent throughout the ages and across many different religions.

Luna
The divine embodiment of the moon - the Lunar Goddess Luna. In contrast to the masculine deity of the sun, Luna is often depicted as a motherly figure. Luna's worshippers have an affinity for the night and often hold various ceremonies dedicated to Her in sacred moonlight. Historically, these rites have consisted of elegant banquets and festivals that last till dawn.

In many cultures, it is customary for moon worshippers to craft and wear masks to these celebrations. The designs of these masks vary wildly and often include elaborate, colorful designs. For those who are interested in creating their own lunar mask, I have provided the following guide: basic-mask-guide-paper-mache.txt

Lunar Realms
Some religions believe in alternate worlds that exist beyond our own. It's said that, through the moon's various magical properties, one may travel to these strange, alien realms through devout worship of the moon. These worlds, referred to as the Parallelos by some, are believed to contain secrets that unlock abilities such as teleportation, astral projection, and even immortality.

The Faceless
Among the many mysterious oddities found on the moon's surface, none is moreso than the creatures known as "The Faceless". Not that different from the concept of extraterrestrials, The Faceless are strange creatures that are said to live upon and worship the moon. It's belived that these hivemind beings have the potential to tap into Luna's vast reservoir of spiritual energy and preform what can only be described as miracles.

These Faceless creatures are rumored to occasionally descend to Earth and communicate with a few lucky chosen humans every year on a sacred day.

Summary

  • This page contains some basic, vague information regarding Lunar Children teachings:
  • Luna is said to be a motherly, feminine embodiment of the moon as opposed to the more masculine embodiment of the sun.
  • The concept of the Parallelos are briefly touched upon, having said to unlock the abilities of teleportation, astral projection, and immortality in those who travel there.
  • The Absque Fascie are mentioned and likened to aliens.
  • The text file "basic-mask-guide-paper-mache.txt" is linked, which takes users to simple mask making tutorial:

4/21/20 - "basic-mask-guide-paper-mache.txt" - Astralobservatory.net

Supplies you will need: Half a cup of flour. One cup of water. A large bowl. Several pieces of newspaper of pages from a magazine. Yarn or string. One balloon. Acrylic paint.
First, mix your flour and water together in a bowl. Make sure the concoction is stirred well.
Next, rip up your paper and soak them in the liquid.
For the next part, we will need to begin creating a mold for the mask. Blow up the balloon to around whatever size you want your mask to be and begin placing the wet strips of paper on it. In order to create a sturdy mask, make sure you first place the strips of paper that will make up the outer edges of the mask and the section that will be passing over the bridge of your nose. Shape the mask however you wish and apply extra strips of paper for a more sturdy design.
Allow the mask to dry over night.
The foundation of your mask is now complete. For further customization, extra layers can added on top of this foundation or acrylic paints can be used to add some color. Don't forget to cut holes in your mask for the string or yarn used to secure the mask to your face.

  • The page "https://astralobservatory.net/subspace/info/alternate-universes" contained the following text:

4/21/20 - Alternate Universes Page Text - Astralobservatory.net

Alternate Universes
Originating as a simple thought experiment, the idea of alternate universes and timelines has slowly gained more and more credence over the past few decades. Now, scientists and clerics alike are looking into the concept further. In the modern day, it's generally accepted that universes alternate to our own do exist and have perhaps affected us on a deeper level than we may initially think...

Multiverse Theory
The theory that, much like our solar system, our universe is but a single instance of an infinitely expanding collective. In our vast universe, there is an incredibly high probability that other planets similar if not identical to our Earth exist. The same school of thought can be applied with multiverse theory. If our universe exists in an infinite void, is it not possible that there exists a universe out there among the countless others that is nearly identical to our own?

Timelines and Infinite Possibilities
Another concept stemming from that of multiverse theory is that of infinite universes through alternate timelines. This approach is similar to the thought experiment known as "Schrödinger's cat". This theory believes that for every single decision we make, an alternate universe or timeline exists where a different decision was made. Whether the act of making the decision is what spawns these split timelines, or they simply already existed out within the void as describied by multiverse theory, the fact is that there is an infinite number of our "others" spread across the ether experiencing worlds both vastly different and uncannily similar to our own.

Aggregation
Each and every one of us is unique. We all have our own thoughts, opinions, ideals, and methods. However, some believe that through the multiverse, it is possible to tap into our other selves and "link" our consciousnesses across space and time. Through this method, it is said that one can travel through and experience alternate universes.

Summary

  • Multiverse Theory is briefly explained, touching upon the idea that there may be an infinite amount of universes out beyond the void of space.
  • The concept of alternate timelines is discussed - "for every single decision we make, an alternate universe or timeline exists where a different decision was made".
  • Aggregation is explained as the process of "linking" one's consciousness with their other selves across space and time, supposedly unlocking the ability to move across alternate universes in the process.
