I was thinking that, too... Tim hears that Marble Hornets might be starting up again to cause more doom and horror and it freaks him out enough that he goes scrabbling for cover (ie a mask! XD).

Perhaps TTA and MM are different because TTA was toying with Jay some time beforehand... when he became aware that Tim was around, he managed to get in contact with him and eventually snag him for his cause (hence why we see him in Warning... not so much that TTA and MM are the same person as that they have joined forces and are now in cahoots?)

Has anyone mentioned that the blood on the walls in Slenderland might be from the same person as the blood in the sink? It could even be from the same injury.

You know, that could be true. It could be that the blood started off in Slenderland and then the person who was bleeding returned to Brian's house, trailed remnant splatters up the stairs, and tried to shunt the rest into the sink?

I've crafted a little theory that would explain Masky's sudden appearance (assuming Masky isn't totheark). There is no doubt J's interview made Tim suspicious. A simple search online for "Marble Hornets" would lead him straight to J's YouTube page. This would connect Tim with totheark. Curious, Tim followed J into Brian's house, filmed him ("Addition"), and messaged totheark with the footage. When J went back into the house (Entry 18 ), Tim decided to attack/stop J while wearing a mask. Tim became Masky, while totheark is probably Seth.

I believe Alex says something along the lines of "they ran upstairs" in the video Jay retrieved from the tower (I forget the entry number). Sounds plausible to me.

Does anyone have a clue what's supposed to happen now? Is Jay still hiding out in his room or has he realized that that's probably just a futile exercise, since he can apparently sleep-teleport?

Yeah, no point in staying locked anywhere now. That's probably what Alex meant when he said running away didn't help. Jay's going to run out of food anyway if he stays in there for much longer.

I'm still uncertain that Totheark is Seth. It just seems like he gets the axe at the end of #22. As much as Alex was sure as hell that he never wanted to see or hear about his footage again, I can't help but think that he is TTA, seeing as how he was the one at the center of the first 'act' of Marble Hornets and Seth has only had bit parts. :\ I am uncertain, though. Either way, I keep forgetting that MH is a weird mishmash of real platforms and fictitious content -- your theory does hold its salt whoever is MM and TTA.

Seems more like Tim, growing suspicious of Jay, could have messaged TTA who then gave Jay an anonymous tip about the house. Being in cahoots that early, they could have expected his arrival (Tim DOES live right next door to Brian, or did at the time), and started setting the place up as a base camp. They may not have expected Jay to show up so early, so they didn't have everything done that they needed to. TTA and/or Masky, being out at the time that Jay arrived, came in through the back glass door (I'm pretty sure we hear a noise that's similar to a sliding door opening when Jay makes his fall) and caught him on tape (Addition), then stayed out of the way while Jay scampered all around because they didn't have a plan ready for him yet. The Addition film seemed more like the footage was coincidentally opportunistic in capture, rather than carefully set up. Kind of like Exit and Return, actually. XD

In any case, it's all assuming that the two are not the same person. I just feel that Tim would have been acting differently somehow if he was also TTA. And that MM would act differently if he wasn't Tim. o_O"

I had forgotten about the stairs! :I Then again, the blood was dry (at least the first stain) so it doesn't quite jive.

I don't know if there is any one thing that is 'supposed' to happen. My guess is that TTA will eventually post some film that Jay is basically playing his meat puppet at this point.

If I were Jay at this point, I would probably try my best to out-wit TTA. Drop most contact with other people, play it kind of stupid, see about hiding cameras on himself or in a way that I could capture things that were going on (And for the love of god, not posting what I find on youtube until I am damned sure about what I'm seeing -- no fodder for the TTAtroll!) and make a plan to end this all one way or another.

I might return to the house without announcing it beforehand, provoke TTA or Masky to react, get in and get out with something that I know they think is valuable. Maybe try to pull a TTA on that bastard's ass if I could in order to try to regain some control of the situation.

Largely I'd be looking for ways to bring some control back to my life so I would probably be clamping down on what I am sharing with the public while I make some plans (and make notes so that I don't forget, since I know that my mind plays tricks on me! Or that someone(s) are playing tricks with my mind!)

Who knows for sure what it's going to wind up being! I still think that we're going to get a TTA response this week some time, whether Jay is quietly breaking apart and losing will to continue surviving, or if he's quietly making plans/laying foundations of plans to help him get out of his predicament. TTA could be relatively silent at the moment because he is gathering footage or doing research of what is happening to Jay when he's through the door; providing that it's not him who's behind the warp door in the first place!

TL;DR: Jay quietly shitting bricks or else helping himself survive, TTA probably busy filming and editing shit to mock Jay a second time.

Hi guys. First time poster, long time lurker here. Been following MH for about 3 weeks now, and I've been trying to scrounge up something that hasn't been said before (you guys are practically detectives Shocked

).

Anyways, I hope this isn't in the wrong section but I've found something sort of interesting about entry 17.

What seems funny to me is Tim's shadow, to our (the viewers') left. At about 0:23 Tim is leaning close enough against the wall to which his shadow is seen. What's awkward is that the "head part" of his shadow is all distorted. This doesn't seem like a function of the window/trees behind him because whenever his elbow or body get close enough to emit that same shade of darkness, no fuzziness is seen.

That fuzziness looks to persist until about 0:52. Again, I'm hoping this hasn't been said before and has some significance. Go easy on my noobish detective work.

You also notice that in entry 17 J has a jacket on. So, I think he's been feeling the burn(cold) for a while now.

Probably trout but nyahhhhh

A water bottle was found in the infamous closet, which I always thought was the last holdout of someone. Perhaps I'm wrong but wasn't there some footage of Pearl Harbor in a TTA video? (too late to check myself) Conflict/destruction/war on water...

With the bullet casing, I think the fact that there was one points to a suicide shot. If someone really wanted to take a shot at SM they'd unload a whole clip (while yelling "aaaaagggghhhh") But I think the blood in the sink could be any number of things.

Sorry for double post. Thats what I get for not logging in.....

There was also a water bottle in the tower, correct?

It could be a suicide shot, or maybe Masky was trying to play target practice with the Operator symbol picture in the house and the bullet ricocheted off of something?

Interesting idea. That might explain why it was all off kilter.

Wildly wild speculation of course. For all we know, Jay is jibbering in a corner in between warpings right now. XD Still feel bad for him. Hope he's got some brains left kicking around inside his head, though.

I can just imagine that. I actually was trying to make some good speculation. XD

Slendy: Okay, just aim it like this NO NOT LIKE THAT

Masky: *shoots*

Slendy: -teleports-

-mask goes flying off-

Masky: GAH

EDIT: To make this post on topic.....

Why hasnt J come up with the wonderful idea of going to Tim's house? I mean, really. If J hasnt already jumped off the computer desk in his house into his tv, he should have at least thought about it with the tta responses and whatnot.

Man, I hope Dray is right and Jay's finally getting off his ass and actually trying to out-wit TTA/Masky. Or at least preparing himself for some sort of epic finale type deal. (I'm getting the vibe MH might end around entry #30...) It'd suck if Slendy showed up at his door for a free-for-all showdown and Jay was just blubbering in the corner with a teddy bear or something.

And I think he's done enough wandering around in the dark and getting the bejesus scared out of him. He needs to track down Tim again, and Brian and Sarah and Seth, too, if he can. We need more character interaction when one of them isn't behind a mask. It'd at least be a change of pace.

Speaking of, I think Sarahs disappearence is even weirder than Brians. I mean people actually were like "oh hey, where'd Brian go?" but Sarah's just like "poof." Everyone else has been acknowledged or on camera when they were last seen. ("Seth!") It probably just means she's not important to the plot, but I just thought it was sort of weird. Maybe both her and Brian are dead?
