That also brings up a bit of an issue- TO knew where they were from the moment they reached the hotel, so why didn't Alex?

Do we know for certain that the bullet in 52 didn't hit anyone at all? Because the only reason I can think of that Alex would have taken so much time about following them is that maybe he was recovering from an injury. That, or TO never bothers to keep him in the loop.

Or he had other business to attend to, I suppose. I always feel like maybe the reason Alex doesn't always find Jay and Tim and hasn't killed Hoody yet is because they aren't his only priorities.

Okay, technically that was three reasons. My bad.

The same reason Alex didn't know where Jay and Tim were in 68. The operator knows but either can't communicate it to him, or doesn't want him to know for some reason.


The bullet in 52 obviously didn't hit anyone. There was no blood, bullet holes in the ceiling, and more importantly, Tim, Jay, and Jessica all made it out alive. Nobody else was there.

The idea of Alex spending days or even weeks waiting in Jessica's house for her is really fucking creepy.

I just thought of something else. When Alex asked her why she stayed in the hotel instead of going home, Jessica is so messed up she doesn't think to ask the obvious question: how did he know she was staying in a hotel? I mean, think about it. The way he introduced himself made it seem like he was a virtual stranger to her:"I'm Alex; I'm Amy's boyfriend. Do you remember me?" And not only did she not question how he knew she'd been staying at a hotel, she also didn't ask how he knew she was out in the middle of the woods.

Actually, now that I think of it, she was in such a pitiful state that except for a scant few moments when she first woke up, she didn't even seem to be afraid of Hoody. I suppose it's possible he took his mask off so as not to scare her too much (because he needed Jessica to trust him so he could keep her safe), but even still. Waking up alone with a strange man, at night, in the woods... She didn't show real fear about the situation until Alex wanted to take deeper into the woods. That's the state she was in... and Alex still tried to kill her. I can only assume at this point he did it because he knew Jay wasn't going to stop investigating, and it was only a matter of time before he contacted Jessica again.

The whole 'she doesn't remember a few hours earlier' doesn't sit rit with, me since the whole series is based on people forgetting everything. Regardless other reasons (eg clothes) make me think its during #33

I think The Joker's point was while tim, jay and Jessica all were fine, the bullet could have given Alex a non-lifethreatening wound, Which could have possibly happened.

I choose to think it didn't, based on the fact I don't think it needs to be answered, TO barely seems to help Alex out at all, other than when his life is in danger, and I'm dubious as to whether they can even communicate or not at the moment.

Creepy idea everyone: what if Alex already sacraficed Amy to The Operator in a fit of panic, but The Operator mindwiped Alex to forget in order to keep Alex's motivatied to provide him with new sacrafices? Alex might believe Amy is safe somewhere, but is actually LONG dead in the series by this point.

(Hell, if The Operator can erase memories, what's to say he can't add new ones as well? Alex might have had many meetings with an 'Amy' who understands what he's doing and keeps him motivated to do what he does. FOR LOVE, EVERYONE, FOR LOVE. LOVE IS THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD.)

Damn.
That's good.
If that hasn't happened then it really should.
I really like that idea.
Well done sir.

I am now imagining Alex creeping up into his attic after midnight to meet with "Amy" who motivates him to continue his craziness for her.
He runs down the stairs with renewed zeal to save her from the accursed TTA and Jay, only for Amy's face to melt off as he leaves.

[TheJoker]

Imagine the entry where such a thing is revealed. Imagine Alex having a complete breakdown when he realizes what's actually been going on.

"But I saw her alive! He promised me she was alive!"

Oh, that would be delicious.

On a side note, I think Jessica, state she was in, was just willing to accept what Alex was implying- that he had some clue what was going on already and had come to save the day. It's not like he was putting up some pretense of being as confused as she was or pretended that he'd run into her by chance, so it's not unreasonable that she assumed that he'd come for a reason. Doesn't mean she should have trusted him, but still.

Thanks for those images; I totally didn't want to sleep at all tonight!

Although... I think at this point that would be nothing less than poetic justice.

[Marble Hornets]

The thing I don't like about the whole "sacrificing" aspect of things is that it makes the operator out to be a wuss. If he's capable of making people cough up blood and lose memory, why does he need Alex to incapacitate them?

Entry 65 shows that he could have killed tim if he wanted to, without Alex's help. But he doesn't. If the operator's motives in all of this is just to make people suffer and laugh at their misery, then I'm gonna be pretty dissapointed.
