Maybe if Jay wears fake sideburns he can pretend to be Tim. Very Happy

Wait up a sec here; Jay can simply wait Tim out.

As we know, Tim has a medical condition of some sort and needs medication. He even went so far as to break into Jay's apartment to get his pills back.
These are most likely prescription, so Tim will need to see the doctor again at some point to renew it.
All Jay needs to do is be there when he stops by... Somehow.

Ironically, if Jay had just run up to Tim in that last entry, it would be much less creepy than what he is going to have to do now. "Hi Tim. What a surprise! Well, I did wait in this town for almost four months. And yes, I did find you at this private clinic by asking strangers personal questions about you...by which I mean I lurked in the back of store for three hours before approaching the cashier."

What do you all think? Is this an ARG quiz, where we have to figure this out for Jay? Or is this an impossible situation that will be solved with the new entry?

I never interpreted it as Tim's pills being, strictly speaking, standard issue prescription, since they were likely for Slender Sickness.

Well, they haven't done a lot of quiz bits before. I remember several unforumers sending lists of codes to try for the safe - obviously either none were right, or he didn't try the right one.

Trouble here is we don't have a lot to go on. With the safe we at least knew we were lookoing for a code - even if in the end it was one that we couldn't have worked out from the information we had. In this case, what information do we even have? We know there's a hospital, and if it treats mental illness thats quite a notable factor what with Slendy's campsite near the town. But what puzzle is there to solve?

I suppose the creators could be waiting for a specific instruction to Jay's twitter, but that would be a. like a text-based RPG on DOS and b. a bit lame.

The pills in Jay's bag at the hotel were ibuprofen, but when did we get confirmation that Tim's pills, the two bottles from Brian's house, were ibuprofen too?

Unless they were prescription strength Ibuprofen, 800mg. Which is exactly the same as 4 over-the-counter Advil and therefore not worth it.

... My mother's a pharmacist.

But I thought we meant the mystery pills from the HAUS, got mixed up.

Also--let's say that Tim DID have a non-OTC prescription,especially mental health related--as far as the "wait him out" idea--someone who has assumably been a patient as long as Tim would only see the doctor to renew prescription every few months--there's no way to know where Tim would be in a prescription cycle (I'm noting this for the sake of argument and for any FUTURE reference that maybe would become relevent.

(credentials=former mental health nurse,former patient+ brother with epilepsy)

I figured asking for Tim to conveniently need to get a renewal was stretching it a bit, but I didn't know they were just Ibuprofen. Let's see here, what else could he try...

1. Jay knows Tim's looking after him for whatever reasons, so maybe he could force his hand by wandering off into Rosswood. (Preferably forgetting his flashlight.)

2. Perhaps we're forgetting something from a TTA video? Wasn't Totheark supposed to find Jay? Maybe they're both looking for each other but keep just missing?

3. Jay might find something in the Doctor's office from #51. Perhaps Tim left something there. (He has plenty of time to look, right?)

Then again, maybe we're just looking at this wrong. What if it isn't so much Jay finding the right thing to do but finding the worst possible thing to do? (Like camp out in Rosswood.)

You know, I feel like we're stuck in a loop of unhappiness...never ending tweets...

Jay could wait around outside and ask non-doctor type people if they've seen Tim and if they know him. On the other hand, given this is a small town, probably everyone knows there's someone looking for Tim, and he's doing it in a stalkerish fashion...

Oh hell. Just break in Jay. You know you want to.

something just tells me that they wouldn't have two types of pills in the series, i don't think there's a point to looking into it that much. tims pills were probably ibuprofens too

Maybe that's the simplest answer, but I'm not entirely convinced. Why show two very different bottles at the house if we're supposed to assume they're the same thing? It's not exactly hard to find matching bottles, IG or OOG. Maybe the one Jay took was ibuprofen and he used it all after Return, but that still leaves the squarish bottle. In light of recent developments, I'm not ready to dismiss the possibility that Tim's on something stronger.

I agree--it's frustrating!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
not to split hairs but anyone employed by a facility that houses patient records/deals with patient records,or treats patients is bound by a patient confidentiality law/rule/clause--whatever.I am an ex-healthcare professional and my ex-GF is a medical coder/biller.Even a janitor in a facility cannot legally discuss who is seen or treated.
The only thing open for speculation here beyond legality is whether or not anyone revealing patient information is CAUGHT.
