Clock faces/Time in JAF

In the process of going through the notebook video again. There is definitely a clock/time/clock face motif with this.

The blog uses the inside of a watch as its header, and the first entry contains this picture of Logan's new watch (with a figure in reflected in its face). [image]

The notebook includes a picture of a clock face. [image]

The picture of SM's tentacles drawn by Matt was edited by (probably) Logan to include a slash across the face, but looking at it this time, I noticed it looks like there are two marks made by Logan there, and together they look almost like clock hands. [image]

Thoughts?

(Note: I have made a spreadsheet of everything in the notebook, and have taken the best screencaps I could of those pages. Will work on uploading that and making a post with this information. As an aside, I definitely think the lack of the operator symbol anywhere in the notebook makes pretty clear Just Another Fool and Marble Hornets aren't actually interrelated aside from both being about the Slender Man.)

Notebook contents in non-video form

Hopefully this works. Here is my Photobucket album of screen captures from Matt Selby's notebook. See below for my spreadsheet of the contents of the notebook.

I am really curious if anyone can fully translate the page that imitates totheark's THEREWASM0RE pseudo-grille. Here are the two screen captures of it. Neither is very good.

Those aren't slashing across a face, they look more like wings on a body. Slender Man's body.

I just went to find the original photograph from the blog and you're right. I wasn't looking at the page correctly.

I really like the telephone number idea. It ALMOST perfectly fits, because if you flip through it and pay attention only to the corner, you get the following:
CONTACT
? (looks like a sideways 7, has been interpreted as an arrow)
1
8
-
6
3
1
-
5
8
1
3
NOW

Which may or may not translate to ?18-631-5813 or maybe even 718-631-5813. I'll go ahead and try it now.

However, that number is not in service. So I'll hit up the other area codes that end in 18 just in case. 618 gives nothing.

HOLY SHIT GUYS THAT'S A V.

1-518-631-5813

"Hey this is Joshua. Sorry I missed your call, but leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can. Thanks. Take care."

I left a message telling him how I found his number.

That is so awesome, Dav! (And now it will stop bothering me. I'll be honest, trying to figure that out was driving me nuts.)

Question: I can't make out all the notches on the clock face from looking at your video. What time would you say it reads?

Neutral So where's Joshua? 513 is an Ohio zip code... Wow. I'm so far away, but like... Something may be wrong with Joshua if his phone isn't on at noon on a Sunday. Unless he's at church and trying to be polite or something.

HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAPPING CRAPTASTIC CRAP!

Win. Well done, and then some.

*pokes TNC* 518, not 513. It's Albany somewhere in Eastern upstate NY.

1) Nightmare, can you please edit your post so that it's not stretching the page? Thanks.

2) I took a look at the clock and my best guess would be that it says 11:11 (lol).

3) I'll take one more brief look through it after this post.

EDIT: make a wish!

Isn't the prevailing assumption that Logan was the one to do the alterations to the notebook? Would this not suggest that Josh had some hand in the alterations as well?

Josh insists that he never even opened the notebook. It is possible that Logan, being Josh's best friend, knew Josh's phone number. Why he put it in the notebook, however, is still uncertain.

And now for some observations and notes.

June 22: Contact
June 23: Hunter Identified SIGHTING
June 24: SIGHTING
June 25: Obsession
July 3: Second Encounter (Dead people in trees)

Yggdrasil: The home of Slender Man? It's a great mythical tree of ash, and the phrasing implies that it grows, and the giant (Slender Man) slips free [from it from time to time].

Extension of above speculation: Slender Man as an extraplanar being? Does he intrude on our world?

Unanswered Question: Why the Wing?

Logan knows Matt's life because he dreamed it all. Matt became a part of Logan through the notebook?

House number 215: Meaning yet unknown

The page needs to be found. It is "mine" (Logan's)

YOUR MOVE page. Letters, in no particular order, are A, N, O, R, L, G, U, A, N, L, T, E

There is a second missing page. Everything around it is blank except for a tiny red word in the upper left corner of the opposite of the torn page: Paydirt. Could this be the page with the answers on it? Logan OBVIOUSLY would have that. This missing page was bookmarked—hence my finding it.

Important Conclusion: WE NEED TO FIND LOGAN

Well, shit. I live up in the 518 area code. If this turns into a search for clues I am all over it.

Page stretch Evil or Very Mad


But yeah, If we're being pointed to a time and date, and we're given a phone number... I still think we might need to use those together? Call at a certain time.

And yeah, I like how we all forgot that the rest of the numbers were in roman numerals. Good Catch.
