Okay, as an OOG reason, most likely. But in game? Where is the Operator?

There are so many slenderblogs now that Slendy is overworked. He's making his way around the circuit and should be back soon.

But seriously, if we see more of Alex, then Slendy will be making a return again. He was never really interested in J, so he hasn't been there in a while.

 		Seemed to me like the Operator had latched on to Jessica rather than Jay, this season. Perhaps by getting out of the hotel, he's left that behind?

(Lame theory, I know! I'm having trouble thinking of why this would be, too!)

What do you mean "I think"? Wasn't your question one of the ones that got answered?

Truth. Perhaps it's been wounded in some way? (wishful thinking, mayhaps, but interesting nonetheless) And thus isn't quite capable anymore - or at least right now - of forming a coherent body?

What if all of the distortion around characters we've seen, and the characteristic vertical breaking in #32 and #33 means it HAS been present, but just not corporeal?

What if the Operator is having to act through Tim only, instead of coalescing and attacking on his own?

 		I see it too. Coincidence? It's the same colors as all the stuff around it....

Yup, though I wasn't entirely sure if that was the only venue through which he replied. I had to think about it -- at about the same time that I'd plied TTA with a question I was getting involved in some other Slenderman-based blogs and there was a lot of emailing with various characters... back before I realized what was a gamejack.

So, yes, one of my questions was answered, and yes, I think that youtube messages are the only way that he had replied, when he was replying.

Oh wow, I hadn't realized how obvious those tentacle shapes were. I don't think that it could have been all coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd come in with some black and white over top of the blue that was already there.

The symbol commonly referred to as an "S" really isn't an S at all, but is likely the Greek letter Zeta. Here's a side-by-side comparison (the two black symbols to the right are two variations of the lower-case letter Zeta):


Looks an awful lot like a word-final sigma to me: ς


As someone who is studying and regularly translating Koine Greek, I would definitely agree and confirm that the symbol is a sigma.

But if he was gonna go greek he might as well just have used Omega if he wanted to say "endings". It's so much more well known and understood.


If TTA is making reference to an ending of some sort, the sigma would make a lot of sense actually. This form of sigma, the "final sigma" as it is officially titled in my textbooks, is one that will only appear at the very end of a word.

What this makes me wonder is if he is alluding to seeing only one possible ending to all of this. If the YAMA theory is correct in assuming the Hindu God of Death, then maybe TTA sees an ending in death as an inevitable conclusion.

 		I was re-watching all the videos the other day. Entry 3 ( i think) or whichever they are in the car filming for MH, they talk to a girl in the back. I was thinking maybe it could be jessica?

 		As far as not seeing the Operator goes...

Wasn't that him in Entry 29 where J found the bloody cloth/shirt or whatever? He was in a tunnel.

Other than that I don't think the Operator has ever been after J outside of when J went to the house.

J can't remember when or where that was, but it's safe to assume it took place after Alex broke Tim's leg. So between then and when J began to remember things again the Operator could have started to stalk J instead.

OR...

Alex is dead. That was Alex's blood in Entry 29 (there was enough blood to kill someone there) and it was the Operator's doing. Assuming this than the Operator moved from Alex to J.

Then again there is also Jessica...hm. Confused

 		Sorry I don't have much to say, but I wanted to get this down somewhere and I didn't know where to put it.

So recently I've been having dreams where something resembling normality happens, and then it goes and happens in real life. Either I'm clairvoyant or I suffer from serious Deja Vu. My point is that I had a dream last night where at some point I log on to Youtube and find that TTA has uploaded a new video (I'm so geeky, I dream of ARGs). I'm afraid I don't remember the name of it, but I remember it being significantly longer than most of his titles; maybe it had multiple words or something.

There's no real practical point to this and it won't aid speculation, but the discussion thread seems the appropriate place to dump it so why not? We'll find out in due time whether or not I'm psychic or just... unbalanced.

You may now continue whatever the hell you guys were discussing.

a place to put it, and, if you're right, show it off to the world. i understand. I did the same-ish thing in the twitter thread.

i'd definitely seen those tentacles before, but not the operator symbol. we don't have a lot to work with right now, but if another entry happens in that building, and it's fairly well lit, we may want to look closer at some of the graffiti. i doubt it'd yield anything super plot revealing, but it could reveal something (like alex's drawings, which by themselves did little to nothing about the plot, but were still interesting).

 		I feel like the reason we haven't seen the Operator much so far this season is because he just doesn't care about Tim and Jay. Or at the very least, doesn't stalk them.

Actually, until Jessica popped up I always thought that Alex himself was being followed because he was fundamentally different -- we see both Tim and Jay exhibiting symptoms of "slendersickness" and slight insanity (if Jay's demented apartment in Entry #24 shows us anything) that made me think the Operator just infected them and moved on. It's like Alex was immune to the Operator's more deleterious effects and the Operator stuck around to see what was up, or something.

But now with Jessica, I get the impression that she's also being stalked by the Operator even though she displays the same symptoms as Tim and Jay... so I think that idea has been squashed somewhat.

Either way, the Operator never seemed to care much about Jay at all. He never actually stalks him as far as I can think -- someone (probably Tim) brings him to the house in Return and the Operator just flat out ignores him, and then even in Entry #23 he just tilts his head like "Whuh? Why are you here?"

That being said, the return of Alex in recent entries hopefully means the return of the Operator.

And I hope I'm not the only one who wants to see a Revenge video...
