However, during the short scene of the man in the washroom it looks like the man picks something up, probably soap, walks to the trash can, and then the video reverses slightly. Do you think there is any significance with this scene?


What the reversed (?) video then looks like is the man picking the item up and going to throw it away, and then deciding not to do so. Perhaps much as Alex began the process of destroying the tapes, but changed his mind?

Also, the man is a sailor, which might mean it's meant to call back to Messages (sinking ship) somehow.

I felt that the clip was reversed because it seemed a bit choppy, but on further watches, it could be just as you said.

And, maybe it doesn't have anything to do with Messages, necessarily. I mean, with all of the water imagery, a sailor would fit right in. I guess we could just take this video at face value, but I don't want to say there is nothing more until all options are exhausted.

And the video says "return to us" and "wake up". That could refer back to the Return video.

IDK. I'm throwing stuff out to see if any of it makes sense to others who are better sleuthers than myself.

In all probability, random. Just like with.... One of the other ones Razz

Damn, I'm fogetting vid names, means I'm sleep deprived, 'night.


Like any other TTA video that uses footage that is not theirs, it is public domain footage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain

^if you are unclear on what that means.

I seem to recall this video from my history of film class I took, I think it may be French? But I am not sure so don't quote me on that!

I think, if it symbolizes anything, it symbolizes people on the move, and at the end, someone cleaning up/getting ready, as if to say, "We'll have the house made up for you real nice." Except terrifying.

 		Ok, so after a little research, I found that the bicycle parade in Attention is footage from the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. It took place in San Francisco, and it was a World's Fair of sorts.

Don't know if any of that is significant, but I figured I'd throw it out there since I found it.

 		So... am I the only one who thought it was super fishy/eerie that "Return to us" was in the EXACT same font/color/size/style that Jay uses for his comments in all of his videos? It was so out of place for the rest of the video.

Also, I'm gonna mess with the audio for shits and giggles.

 		Don't You think TTA is just just as pissed as we are because there were no entries recently? Wink Wake up, stob being lazy, return to us, awaiting Your arrival at the &%()/&% house You said You were going to. Makes sense to me. x)

Edit: There's definitely a different frame shortly before "return ot us". I'm sure some of You guys have programs to view vids frame by frame, coudl one of You screencap?

I saw it too, and tried to freeze frame it on VLC. It was really hard to catch (the image is a fade between two images).

It's just another frame from the video of the people on bicycles. It's a couple of guys standing with some of those old timey bicycles with the HUGE front wheels and the TINY back wheels.

Side note: After seeing this video, I think Jay is totheark AND MarbleHornets. It sounds stupid, but this video looks like totheark and Jay's video editing styles have come together in the same video, as if the line is becoming blurred. Maybe the tapes are making him go insane.

I'm probably wrong, but the Jay's exact text style showing up in this video has to mean something.


Edit: Wait... that makes no sense. Addition and Return... and Exit don't fit that theory. Haha. Unless someone gave/left him the tapes and he doesn't remember this or how he got them, then went nuts and made the videos as an alter-ego, totheark. But that is beginning to sound ridiculous.

 		Parade, sailor, ark, that ship thing in Messages.


That's all I have to add. I was overly excited by this Embarassed

I can't get to the site from where I am right now.

Possibly a reference to when Alex said that J (and everyone else is missing)
If TTA was the one to put entry 22 in the tower that would make sense because he associates with alex in someway to get the tape.

 		"Return to US"
Could it be that Slendy, Masky and TTA (if they're not the same person) are actually confabulated, all of them waiting for Jay at the House?
I got that feeling after watching Return after Attention...

 		"Return to us"

"Awaiting your arrival"

"Totheark"

Sailor. Wave of oncoming people.

Sounds like someone wants someone else to return to the ark.

EDIT: Just thought of something.

Tim and some other dude (I've got a hard time following names and what) BOTH experience sickness and cold in that one house. You know that one I'm talking about. They get sick by the closet. Then there's the "Return" response of TTA's which features a dude in that VERY same hallway WITH Slender Man (I presume, although I could be wrong. It does look eerily similar, and you can just barely see the closet on the left side.) Coupled with my above theory, I will now venture to say that the house [Entry #17, #20, others?) is THE ark.

The house is the ark. Return to the house. I'm not quite sure if I want to call it an interdimensional portal yet.
