 		Keys sometimes have like numbers and stuff of them right...? Someone get a close look at the key if they can.

For reference, the numbers he tries are:
1234
8416
1985
4613


1234 is obvious. 1985 is probably his birth year. Are the other two just random guesses, or could they have any significance? They couldn't be birthdays....

Probably they spell out something he uses as his bank PIN.

JKat: I dunno, J's sorta got a crazy look to his face...

Xen: Nothing on the key.

Oh god, just had a crazy thought about Jessica, certain to be untrue but would be funny: Alex had copies of the original Marble Hornets tapes and eventually finished the movie, pulling together the old tapes and fresh footage, and released it. Jessica recognizes J as script supervisor from the terrible student film she just saw the other night.

The safe -- either we're going to get a TTA entry with clues, or whomever said that '8:31 is a weird time for the alarm to go off' has a point. I'm sure that people will be inundating the MH inbox with suggestions, so I'm not going to bother to drop more crap on them to have to read when it's just numbers... but I don't remember anything else number-specific besides the dates that we have been finding TTA posting. I doubt that they would be from his earlier responses; using a number twice would not really make sense? (YAMA as a number solution makes me giggle, though!)

As for Jessica, I don't find her antagonistic or suspicious necessarily. I suppose she could be there to spy on him, but I like the idea that she gets caught up along for the ride as an ally. Hell, maybe she's got brain erasure as well for whatever reason, so she's lurking around Jay trying to figure out exactly what's going on just like he is.

For the banging noises in the room at night, whatever they are, they seem to have caused some video distortion towards the end, or else that was just a coincidence. I honestly can't figure out what it might be. O_O


I'm wondering if for the safe we shouldn't coordinate our efforts, maybe instead of everyone here sending Jay a message going "OMG TRY THISSS", we should designate one person to send him a message once we've come up with a number of... well, numbers!

Jessica being suspect seems silly, anyhow. If she was on his trail for menacing reasons, it would be downright idiotic for her to give the game away by saying "hey your name sounds familiar"! I suspect she'll end up being an ally. Hell, I hope she'll end up being an ally. The slendermythos is in desperate need of female characters who don't end up fricking cannon fodder.

The banging in the room at night sounds like... hammering nails into walls or something. I'm'a give it another go, listen to see if it isn't clearer the second time 'round.

And I agree, I like to think that the wearer of the mask is in control, rather than deranged. They could totally be some mild-to-not-so-mild psychosis going on, but maybe it's the pills that keep the wearer sane enough to endure?

Sadly, I suspect that the pills really ARE ibuprofen in this case. I mean, they played with us with that reveal... I think that was a bit of fandom-awareness that was brilliant. They yanked our chains a little, and then went "BUT NAWWW GUYS, it was peelz all along". Of course, that doesn't rule out the previous set of pills having some other purpose...

That would crack me RIGHT the fuck up. XD

So...does no one remember 2:34 to 2:36 of Entry #26? Y'know, where you see a Masky through what appears to be the peephole of a hotel door? Seems like an awfully big coincidence. Maybe Jay was retracing Alex's footsteps.

I watch the entry and WOW, how did I NOT SEE THAT?! I know I can be a bit slow at solving but...

 		Hrm... I think that when there is a sharp rap it may stand for dot ( . ) and a just a normal rap is dash ( - ). Sharp as in maybe the hit was made on a pipe or something like that and the normal hit was just the wall. That's what it sounds like to me... if there is even morse at all! The only problem I'm having with now is deciding what the first noise may be. It's hard to decide whether it's a dot or a dash. I'm thinking dash, but eh.

brb more morse

 		What if a third youtube channel starts up?

"Entry #1: I saw some creeper with a camera in my hotel today. He sucks at talking to girls."

On a serious note, I'm pretty satisfied with this pacing. An entry about every week is good. I still think we should get more twitter updates, even if they're just Jay letting us know how he's doing.

Yeah, it probably was for chain-yanking purposes, but headaches were symptoms that Jay began experiencing, right? Maybe it's painkillers to keep the pain away of dealing with so much slender-mythos?

I dunno, it probably is just fandom-awareness and chain-yanking. |D

I gotta say... I suspect that if it's that ambiguous, if they didn't give us straight up morse code, it's not gonna translate into morse. But let us know if something does come of it!

 		In Entry #26, Jay mentioned how he was hopping from hotel to hotel. He also mentioned how he wanted to move "far out of state". Could this have been what he did?

In regards to the idea that Jessica is Skully wasn't the whole speculation about Skully being a lady based on the possible appearance of long, blonde hair in the image? If so, then we're drawing an unsupported conclusion with Jessica = Skully, simply because there's a proponent of people who believe that Skully is female, which itself is based on really shaky evidence. It'd be cool, but it's doubly unlikely: Skully may not have been female at all, and even if she was, she was a blonde female, not a brunette.

You're fully right. The chances of Jess being Skully instead of Amy is very unlikely. I have been watching #26 so many times to see if that was blond hair or not.

I think my brain is fried up from coming up with so many theories this month...

 		To me, Jessica seems to be in the same boat as Jay.
She passed by him the first time in 27 and didn't notice the camera, which could mean she was wandering around like Jay?
Maybe she and him met up in the last seven moths? That would explain why his name sounds familiar, Or maybe she knew Alex. I don't know.
My theories sound crazy even to me. -.-

EDIT: I swear I see something in the window in the last second or so. O.o

 		Looking through it... (first time poster here, long time lurker, xD)
Does anybody else think that:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
there may be a reason for the numbers Jay used, and if so, how are they related to him? I'm sure 1234 was the first combo that popped into his head, and that 1985 is his birthyear, but what about 4613?

On a side note, he only entered it three times... lol.

 		Leina, try interpreting the raps as either dash or dot. Simply reverse them after you've found the first set and you may wind up with something. Smile Good luck and kudos on sitting down and braining at it!

Illest Villen: Shocked Not a mental image anyone needs to have!

JKat: regarding coordinating the efforts of the numbers... we could try, though I have a feeling that people have a hard enough time coordinating who gets to post first (aka: first post wins, always. XD) that figuring out who sends what is going to be too difficult; people will have sent in everything that we've been discussing as we're trying to figure it out!

(Also: Jessica for this one, not Jessa. Though I have been substituting names in and out. We should totally make a spoof in which everyone has a 'J' name, even Jlenderman. The video can take place in Norway. XD)

I do think that she's more likely an ally than a threat, though. Despite the weird noises. No wonder Jay hasn't been able to sleep. XD

Regarding Skully: I really believe that Skully isn't a gal. Having had looked over it a couple of times after my initial "MAYBE T'IS AMY!" reaction, they didn't look like they had long hair. It's hard to tell, but I think Skully's just a short-haired person surrounded by a pale background.

And thinking on Jessica: How is it that Jay's name sounds familiar to her, but he doesn't seem to think anything of her?
