Another alternative, I suppose, is the basement; Jay has evidence that he got in there and survived, but we don't know for sure that Masky has been down there.


It's interesting that you say that because the Masky vids started after Entry 24!

Well, Warning came out after #23, but before #24, didn't it?

 		I think we got some answers from these six lines:
1. We will wait for you no more
2. Control is being taken away from you
3. From the start its been a game for us
4. Not anymore
5. I'm coming for you
6. and you will lead me to the ark


First, J's recent encounter with SM has resulted in a SM-related loss of control.
2: Does TTA has powers to take control from J? I don't think so - I think this line is pointing out that SM is taking control away from J. This could explain his outing in Entry 24 (and how he managed to "teleport"). Since TTA is human (we don't have reason to believe otherwise), it would be hard to believe that he is mentally controlling J and making him teleport.
4,5: Further backup that TTA isn't currently taking control from J. If TTA has to visit J to make him do ANYTHING for him, TTA isn't the one controlling J.
1,2: Why won't he wait for J any longer? Well, if J is becoming lost to SM, he might lose his ability to lead him to the ark.


Second, we know what TTA wants with J, though we don't know what he is looking for.
1,6: Why does TTA need J? What can J do - does he know where the ark is?
1,3,6: If getting to the ark was TTA's original goal, why has it been a game for him? Why has he been waiting for J all this time?
6: What is the ark? It's not SM - TTA "found him forever" in Return, and has been filming him moping about the house. It's not Tim - TTA could have followed J to his "Interview with Tim" (plus it seems very likely that Tim's back is in this video). It's not the tapes - TTA's been in J's room and could have easily taken them.
1,3,6: Is Alex the ark? TTA knew that J wanted to find Alex, and he may have been waiting to get some results. Still, it seems like too simple an answer - if J will lead him to Alex, then J already knows where Alex lives and didn't have to put himself in danger.
6: Is the ark the script? Maybe, though J already gave Tim a copy of the MH script during his interview.
6: Is the ark something we haven't encountered yet? It probably is. No story elements are out of TTA's reach, especially the story elements in J's reach.

 		Oh, and lines 1 and 3 refer to "we" and "us", but lines 5 and 6 refer to "I" and "me". Because he switches to referring to himself singularly, I think we/us refers to multiple people/entities.

Perhaps Masky is working for the totheark collective, but he's the only one field agent assigned to bother J.

I love how you summed things up like this. Smile

I am not sure that TTA is blameless in the 'control is being taken away from you'. That feels more threatening to me. He (or they) may be human, but that doesn't mean that they are not leaving Jay feeling more trapped and helpless with the games that they/he's played. Keep in mind that TTA has been maneuvering Jay into his current position for some time. Now that he's in the right place (mentally, I suppose?) it's time to finish things. He as directly contributed to a loss of control.

I'd like to think that there is a spin on the 'alex is the ark' idea that has come up. I agree that it JUST being Alex is something too simple... but since Jay finding Alex has been a point from all the way back at 'Introduction', I feel that it would be pretty remiss if they didn't clinch that plot element. Even if we only find Alex's body or grave or what the hell ever, that needs to get resolved somehow.

But yeah, good post, I like it!

 		Alex is not the ark.

The Ark is a place. A place that is going to tie everything together and bring about the true end-game.

The ark holds significance for all players -SM, Masky, Alex, Jay, etc.

At this point I would also like to mention that the word 'us' has been used before in a TTA video, and that Jay even put particular emphasis on it (in a tweet saying something like "I don't like the fact that it says 'us'). The plural has to be important somehow.

I'm still on the 'Seth and Tim theory' boat. :v

 		Uhg... I spent a week away from Unfiction, then there was too much to catch up on, so I kept putting it off...
*Sigh* forgive me if I trout.

For whatever cause, the others (totheark, masky, what-have-you) seem to need Jay. They've been pestering him and leaving him increasingly frantic and more direct hints. Now that he's finally loosing it but still hasn't got a grasp on it, they're stepping up and directly using him for whatever purpose they need him.

You know, I really hope what I'm about to say isn't correct because it would really kill the terror of earlier entries for me, but what if Slendy's trapped within our plane of existence and has been ,manipulating the cast and crew to get himself home?
Uhg... even just typing that out makes me certain it's been suggested before...
