The dog was Evan!!

Actually, when I first saw the video, I could've sworn it was a rabbit...

Too bad it isn't- that scared the hell out of me!

Just a thought: perhaps we are right about who among the boys has been assigned each role, but for the wrong reasons?


Vinny as the Voyeur: He seems to be the one who instigated the fitness series to begin with (I may just be jumping to conclusions about that, so let me know if my assumptions are too unfounded), and the further along we get the closer he seems to be getting to assimilating the camera altogether. If the hidden 'security' cameras are actual cameras as opposed to something extra-dimensional, it could be inHabited Vin setting them up - he has the know how and the access to get them in and out before they're noticed. He was in Jeff's basement alone with one of these hidden cameras after all (and Slendy, if it was really Slendy, could have popped in to put a stop to it). I also suspect, for the same reasons I suspect that the series as originated (ig) was his brainchild, that he likely has the at least basic video editing skills and software that would be required to manipulate and post the hidden videos. It is also possible that his increased exposure to the hidden videos, which where shown to cause adverse side effects in the crew, could be why his reaction to Slender-proximity seems to be worsening more quickly than the others. This may also explain why his phone was found in Evan's closet ... he dropped it while he was setting up/taking down cameras.

Evan as the firebrand: Most obviously, Evan is the easiest to provoke into a militant response. Jeff's suicide/self medication attempt notwithstanding, he also seems to be the the one that is most easily manipulated into doing something rash and ... maybe not stupid, but at least not in the interest of his own personal survival. However, of more interest to me is the other meaning of firebrand ... not a person who sews strife, but burning wood embers that carry on the draft and spread the wildfire. Our (admittedly tempestuous) evidence suggests that Evan was the first to be inHabited (likely because of his easily lit nature) - both in our current timeline and in the fairmount timeline - and from him it spread to the others. He didn't start the fire, but he is the means by which it is spread. The firebrand. I also think (though this is a little further off base than the rest of my speculation) that it is perhaps (possibly in part rather than wholly) this dual nature, rather than the dual nature of Evan hosting Habit, that will lead to self immolation - the natural response his militant and proactive nature would have to finding out that he is the one spreading to flames.

Jeff as the Guardian: It should be noted that of all the boys, Jeff is the only one who has been shown to have clear emotional ties. Jessa and Alex are deeply entwined with his daily existence. Even Jessa, in her absence, is still deeply felt in the series. Compare to Lexi (or, a lesser degree, Evan's sister) who has been mentioned in all of two videos, been a primary focus of none, and has not been seen at all (as far as I recall). While it is fairly obvious that this is because Vin wished to keep her out of this mess, in doing so he has only served to highlight how deeply Jeff relies on his connections to keep his sanity. It is Jeff in his role of guardian to both Alex and Jessa that has led to most of the background information gained throughout the series, which has (in turn) led to Habit's growing role in the goings on. Unlike the others, haven't quite gotten a handle on what inHabited Jeff would be utilized for (except, perhaps, helping Alex and Jessa slip into their roles in all of this ... though with Slendy and Snoopy around I don't see why it would be necessary).

Interesting post guest1337, i like the summary thought of roles as intentions. Not sure if relevant, but the text at the beginning of the video immediately reminded me of the text in "..." that said "his loss blinds him". Different font and layout, sure, but I have a hunch this latest as well as the morse vids came from the same source. Gotta admit I was thrilled about a new vid for Halloween and all but still uncertain about what we are intended to do with the message at this point. Really anxious to hear back from the guys and see if they uploaded and/or can see it now. That should clear some things up in my mind at least. Also, pill popping Jeff, if they go Jacob's Ladder on us and the whole series was just an alternate universe in his mind where he is a hero facing dark demons to save his love when in reality she just dumped him and he is OD'ing, I will be sad.

So let me get this straight: We know that it's Vince's dog but why do we think that it was in Jeff's basement? I was under the impression that Vince was at home.

I thought both were correct, Vince was at home initially but due to some Slendy-warpy, a door in his house landed him on Jeff's basement stairs. With so many possibilities (time and logic yada yada), not sure anything is concrete really. Not sure the setting itself is important, more just the actions that unfolded so I could be completely wrong on that, just sayin.

Pardon the interruption. I have a message from the beyond. To wit:

The arcade room is Vincent's basement.

The unfinished basement is Evan's.

Jeff's basement was the site of the sleep lab.

Go forth and sin no more.

Duly noted.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is all this "Voyeur, Firebrand, Guardian" business? Another aspect of the absurdly dense EMH backstory that I seem to not be familiar with.
