 		What is the Ark?
Okay, I was talking to a friend about what the ark could be as well as Masky and TTA.

Well we think:
Masky is for def, Tim.
TTA is Alex and TTA and Masky are working together.

Now. The Ark.

We where talking about what the ark could be. He said maybe its Alex? but we agreed it couldn't be because then it would throw the TTA theory out. So after a few minutes of thinking we thought maybe its a place or a thing to get rid of Slender man? So after I went on Google Maps to show him the irony of where the Tower is [Tranquilty Road, near the town of New Hope, in Birmingham AL] I decided to search for The Ark to see it is was a place.

I came up with a result.

Metropolitan Church of God.
Where, The Ark Outreach Ministries is.

And its not far from The Tower.

Here's the map http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Tranquility+Rd,+Pelham,+AL+35124&daddr=2800+Metropolitan+Way,+Birmingham,+AL+35243-2944&hl=en&geocode=FWLf_AEdPKLU-im5MLKF2DyJiDFbrLDYKClGJg%3BFXu8_QEdaAfU-imj2Y6UcRiJiDEYha5gcD-ykA&mra=ls&sll=33.379279,-86.733112&sspn=0.08615,0.181789&ie=UTF8&ll=33.388596,-86.725388&spn=0.086141,0.181789&t=h&z=13

I know this is probably just me making patterns out of nothing. But its worth a try.

 		You say it couldn't be Alex - not necessarily. Perhaps the Ark 'part' of him is locked away, think of Alex as a house, and the Ark as a locked door in the house.

Maybe Alex thinks that Jay can help 'unlock' the Ark?

 		Tapes. the last tapes. finding them; to get rid of them? apparently the tape that Alex's girl somehow found attracted slendy, and masky wants it. I think they both want it, slendy to preserve it or destroy it, masky to preserve it or destroy it.

 		...Maybe that is it. Maybe the tapes are what Slender Man's after...but for what? To destroy them all? Burn all the evidance that he was ever there?

 		NEW IDEA

- I'm not saying anything conclusively -

Slender Man appears to be attracted to those who are aware of his existence, correct?

Well, what if the Ark is a shelter from the knowledge that Slender Man exists, a way of erasing one's memory(ies) about Slendy (Thus making him go away)?

 		True about the tapes. But what got me was the 'Help Me' at the end of the tape from yesterday. [Oh and the 0A0 B00 on the box. That made me laugh.]

Maybe Masky wants help to get rid of the tapes? Because Slendy is attracted to them possibly?

Although Alex didn't seem very panicked by the sight of Slendy. :/

And good idea about the Ark being a place to erase the memorys of him being there...

OH! That reminds me! The Masks. On the 'Watch this' tape there was a clip of a grinning mask with blond hair. I am sure THATS Alex's gf. Maybe the Masks make it so Slendy can't find you?

 		Gonna go ahead and quote myself now 'cause I'm too damn lazy to rephrase.

Bingo. I've always figured Alex wasn't the first crew member who spotted Slendy. I think maybe one of his friends was acting odd, he started searching around, etc.
Which makes me think series two wont be as much content in the present as it will in the past. I mean, this isn't the first time we've been shown stuff from before Jay was the central character. It seems quite likely to me the MH cast had they're own series of adventures, we've seen them exploring together before.
Which might mean Alex wasn't the only one with Slender-footage.
Heck, we might even have Alex's head-bleedy explained to us... through years old footage

It also makes me think, that they've all realized on their own that the masks work, that's why we've seen several versions. It also makes me think that the mask on the door ages ago was put there in hopes that Jay would take it and figure it out. Which of course he didn't....

It also makes it seem likely to me, that they've all been winging it since the cast split up, each of them trying to solve it in their own way. So while one may know what the ark is, the others are clueless, I bet in the end they have to all meet up to figure out how to stop Slenderman.
Or maybe the message from Masky about being led "totheark" was a separate Masky from TTA? and he literally wants to be led to that person because they both seem to have the most Slender-knowledge.

Speaking of masks and figuring things out on they're own, maybe that's why proto-Masky has that horrific grin, but the other variation looks like our Masky(the stalker Masky we were introduced to first) he did his own variation, understanding that all he needed was a mask, and the slightly different one from Warning was someone under the impression they should try to make it as close as possible to the one they'd seen, or vice-versa depending of whether Warning Masky or OGflavor Masky came first.


I'm thinkin' either TTA is simply a random name or name with personal signifigance chosen by a Masky, or that it had something to do with Slenderman's appearance [disclaimer:all speculation from here on out]. Maybe the ark is the name they've come up with for wherever they first encounter Slendy (they being whoever encountered him first of course) and one of the Masky's thinks locating it is the final clue in stopping Slendy.

 		Shadow, good point. Very very good point. Maybe everyones involved we just don't realize?

Maybe Alex was dragged into this mess because someone had mentioned it then gone missing or something? Then Slendy knew Alex knew about him and is now trying to hunt him down to get rid of him so Slendy's a secret again.

Maybe Slendy is trying to get rid of everyone who knows so he can go back to killing and no one knowing? Which means he'd be after not only the cast, but the tapes. and when the girl played the tape, it almost called to him or something so he could find him?

The fact Alex denied any exsistance of a camera is interesting. Maybe by him forcing all memory of it away and locking it away [like Aero said about Alex being like a house] it was like he never knew, so Slendy stopped looking?

That is interesting, but it doesn't explain quite a bit.

1: What does Slender Man do that makes him so terrifying?
2: If Alex had mastered some sort of 'Slendy-repellant mind trick,' then why would he need Jay's help?
3: The granddaddy of all questions: What is the ark?

I'm starting to really like that theory I posted - maybe Alex knows some temporary trick, but he needs Jay to make the memories of Slendy go away. (Some kind of memory-transfer...?)

Maybe the tapes are permanently Slendy-cursed, and the only way to get rid of them for good is burning? The apartment building was burned down (though I don't recall if we ever learned if the tapes were there or not), the fire painting, and, of course, Alex telling Jay in the beginning to, "Burn them."

Thats made me think. Maybe Alex didn't realize that when he gave the tapes to Jay that you NEEDED to burn them? Maybe JAy still has Slendy footage thats why he's still followed? And maybe now, Alex realizes that you need to burn them so when he knew Jay would leave [after the ###### entry] he burnt the flat, to make sure?

Ah. Good point. Maybe the reason Masky/Alex is asking Jay for help now is that he realizes telling him 'you WILL lead us' he's now ASKING for help because he realizes he needs help from someone who can show his face?


Oh and I just realized I didn't mention before. I agree with the 'leaving the mask for Jay to find' thing. HE was trying to tell Jay you -need- this. But Jay didn't read it properly... And didn't the bullet go missing? And what was all that blood about in the sink at the house?

It's been thought that being near Slendy gives you... er... major problems. Hence Masky's pills. And his seizure when he ran at Jay for a Masky hug >.>; [Facebook!Masky is a bad influence on my brain.] And the coughing alot. :/

Although so does Alex. Maybe after staying away for as long as they have from the house, flat etc, it wears off?
