Yes, it sounds good. I appreciate your use of the English language.

Edit (to the above): Perhaps it is a bit insensitive (which can be fixed for the most part), but the topic of the document isn't exactly easy to bring up. I think no matter how it's phrased, we can't afford to really beat around the bush anymore. We're going to have to be a bit blunt. Otherwise they might dance around any questions we have.

I hope they actually respond this time...

On a partially unrelated note, FUCK ALL OF YOU for giving me plot rabbits bunnies. I'm writing an Alex fanfic right now. I'll post a link later if you'd like.

Edit:Edit: Just to ensure I'm not accused of being offtopic here, I'm gonna agree with everyone above. I do think separate letters should be sent. A general 'we're sorry for your loss, you have our support' letter, and then a more private letter to Vinnie, requesting details.

okay. got a shower. here are some new trees.


the biggest thing that came to me was this:

What if they're all dead but Vinnie?

We haven't seen anyone else recently, and Vinnie only talks about them. What if he was lying. What if the other guys were dead and he can't bring himself to admit it. Would he really be so broken up about just Alex's death? _{even if he does blame himself}


Now for some less crazy trees:

.........

can't think of any. that was the main one.

soooooo...........discuss.

Allright, random ass theory here. However I do think parts of it have been mentioned or brought up here at some time or another:
We have three antagonists: Slenderman, the Rake, and HABIT.
We have three (alright more than that but work with me here) protagonists: Vin, Evan, and Jeff.
What if Slenderman and Co. are just future versions of the three boys? Sometime in the future, some crazy traumatic shit goes down which causes the boys to change. I haven't quite figured out HOW it will happen yet, but something occurs that causes Evan to become HABIT, Jeff turning into the Rake and Vince becoming Slenderman.
Now after those changes take place, they travel back in time to beginning of the whole EMH series and the cycle starts all over again: They torment their pasts selves who become supernatural entities, who travel back in time to torment their past selves and so on. They only other thing I haven't figured out is the significance of Steph. The mining town FOUR was specifically mentioned so she has to play an important role. I still don't know where she ends up. Either she gets turned in to another (not yet introduced) supernatural entity or she just dies and gets reincarnated at the start of a new cycle.
So, to sum everything up:
-MT4 kids are transported from the past (somehow) to the present day.
-They grow up, start the EMH video series
-Slenderman, HABIT, and the Rake influence their lives, eventually causing them to turn into monsters themselves.
-The new, supernatural 4 go back in the past and torment thier past selves and the cycle repeats infinitely.

I know I am kind of all over the place with this theory but I just needed to write it down and see what you guys thought.

EDIT: Also maybe the shaving of Vince's beard is his transition in to turning into Slenderman. You know making his face more featureless? Just a thought.

I'm not normally into the really crazy theories, but I kinda like this one for some reason. Huge question, though. Why are they tormenting themselves? Why, after everything Jeff and Alex have been through together, would Rake/Jeff come back and abuse Alex?

[arcanadei]

There were some similar discussions being thrown around with the find of the treasure chest and also the candleverse vid. Yours is much more well stated though. As for Steph, she could be the mother archetype giving birth to the next iteration as a host vessel and not necessarily a monster herself possibly. More of a catalyst of the inevitable that is required to bring about the next cycle. For the why, who knows, maybe the act of them torturing themselves drives them to a point of monstrous madness where they aren't acting rationally. Maybe it is just fate that it happens, or Sisyphus style punishment for wrongdoings of the original cycle that they keep repeating.

MATTWAN'S THEORY EXPANDED!

We were kind of batting this around in Angora. But I think Mattwan is right. Think about each time the guys have been teleported: Ashen Waste for example. They could very easily have died. Slenderman cleaned them up and put them back at home- a world slightly different. Even to a degree when they came back from the crawlspace/Baldpate and the crawlspace was gone. Maybe HABIT's involvement stems from one of these times, like A Day In the Life, like he was pulled out of the Candleverse on that day, and since then, all these hidden videos he's been sending us tend to show us events that the guys can't remember- times they were "reiterated". The guys end up in a different/parallel but slightly different dimension, but they can't remember what happened because they are in a different reality now. HABIT, like us, remains in the same reality and thus he can show us these videos. And when we tried to get the guys to see the videos, they regressed to a time when they lived with Corenthal, or there about.
Then when you come to the time before this started/2009-10, perhaps their 19 year old selves had been in the Candleverse, which stays the same while the world ages? Kind of like how in Minecraft, you go farther in the Nether than you do in the normal world. (Note, HABIT did make a Minecraft level encased in obsidian, which is what you use to make a portal to the Nether.) Maybe before, when they lived with Corenthal, his ability to somewhat domesticate HABIT within Evan stopped the cycle for awhile. They were able to grow up a little. Now they're stuck at 20?

I know this is all over the place. But it even kind of could work with Dinorobo's theory. If you think about "EverymanHYBRID"- "every man hybrid"? Every man is a hybrid of himself and his "monster"?

I HAVE NO IDEA. But I think Mattwan is onto something.

EDIT: Also, thinking about TT's slight involvement- didn't Observer call "FIREBRAND/HABIT" "the stubborn"? Could it be HABIT is the one causing the loop, and not Slenderman? Even though HABIT doesn't have that power, his involvement can be causing Slenderman to have to do it?
