Except for one thing.

If I know that I had the wrong number, I wouldn't call back two more times and leave texts. I would only respond if I was called back.


Why call back twice and then leave texts?

Seems too weird....


unless they thought they had the right number all along

Idunno man. Sounded like "HABIT", sounded like Evan, the girl's name is Jessie... I still am suspicious of this one.

But it wasn't just general nervousness if she's mentioning long messages and texts that were sent. She seemed to think she knew who was calling her. Unless she just mistook Harley for someone else. Which I suppose is a logical explanation. But that call/message she got did come from that number. Which is still unexplained. I don't know. You're probably totally right that it's not IG. It just seems so off to me still. I'll can it for now.

CAN WE GET A VIDEO OR A TWEET OR SOMETHING THOUGH? I think we're all losing our marbles a bit.

Ya. But weird shit happens all the time not connected with ARGs. I think its just a weird life thing, because one again, GIVE me one substantial connection to EMH and I'll buy it. But there are NONE. No mention to any of the other characters, Slendy, the Rake, Corenthal, nothing.

I want news as much as the next person, but theres nothing there.

EDIT: and the fact that her name is Jessie isn't enough, especially because Jessie isn't a huge character in EMH. If it was Jessa, maybe theres something. But Jessie doesn't do it for me.

Meh. At all the EMH crew: i think we need a tweet or something. Or if this isn't IG, keep saying nothing about it. Look at how well that worked with WttA.


Did someone send them a link via twitter/youtube/something?

Also, I only gave the number to two people, one called and the other one just wanted to compare the number to call he received.

Didn't someone (Ouroboros?) say that they also called the number, though? Maybe she feels like she's being hounded.

I offered this once before and people didn't like it, but I'm going to try again.

I believe there may be some significance attached to the videos on Jessie's Youtube channel. They don't so much have the direct relevance of the songs Damsel posted, but I think they are related to the action in a winking, more conceptual sort of way.

Like I say, people disagreed the first time I offered this idea, and I thought they might be right and I was over-reading. What fired me back up was the video she favorited when we found the hidden words and the likely meaning of what was meant by TILT: Stephen Fry Kinetic Typography--Language. We found words that could only be seen by moving the screen, and she posted a video of moving words.

In the past, she's posted Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" along with a Muppet cover thereof, and the Muppets' "Mahna Mahna" along with a Cake cover of the same song. When? After we started talking about there being Baby Hybrids whose ages couldn't be matched up with our Hybrids. See what she was (or might have been) getting at there?

There was the "Danse Macabre" video with the faceless monster graphic. There was the 8-bit "Through the Fire and Rain", the title of which is evocatively relevant even if the song itself isn't. The "Unzipped Makeup Tutorial" she favorited is about a makeup effect that is reminiscent of one of Damsel's paintings, and I don't have to mention what "They're Coming to Take Me Away" calls to mind.

I don't want to try to stretch things too much, so about half the videos don't seem to have any immediate EMH connection. There might be something I'm missing, of course, even in those.

Anyway, I'm bringing this up again not just because of the "Kinetic Typography" thing but because she just favorited two Spanish-language choral videos but my Spanish sucks and I can't translate much more than the titles.

One of them, "Son de Camaguey", opens "Esta eso es una cosa linda/Esta eso es una cosa brava"--"This is a beautiful thing/This is a brave thing". That's pretty evocative of Jeff's quest, I guess, but I can't make out any more of the lyrics.

The other, "Las Amarillas", is completely beyond me. I get that the title is "The Yellow Ones", but I have no idea what that might mean. "The Cowards"?

Is there anyone who thinks this isn't a totally crackpot notion, who has good Spanish translation skills, and who wants to give the videos a shot?

I'll be taking a look at those videos immediately, Mattwan. I like your theory and wish to subscribe to your newsletter, sir.

Ouroboros is one of the ones I sent it to, so only 1 other call was made.

I dunno. Those videos seem pretty random to me, and a bit of a stretch. And I feel like if Jessie were to be made a bigger deal of than they would let us know. So far shes been mentioned once. And yes, shes related to Corenthal, but as someone mentioned awhile ago, it could be just to verify his existence. I feel like if there were to be significant youtube channels, it'd be Alex, not Jessie.

But why mention Jessies youtube channel if it wasn;t important? Maybe some greater things will come?

Seconded.

When she was introduced, they went out of their way to give us her youtube channel. and again, she's done nothing to the story so far (other then give the guys someone to recap to)... this may go somewhere.

That covers thing matches up very perfectly. If this was deliberate (which i do assume), i take my hats off to them.
