God damn, mattwan, those are some nice trees. I'm still not able to think of Vinnie as doing anything secretive... still.
I'm sure everyone noticed, but I didn't at first: Corenthal says, "I've failed you all again." I never noticed, I was too busy thinking "OMFG CORENTHAL", but my friend pointed it out. We're also trying to figure out if there is a "now" Corenthal analog/proxy of some kind. I see why a lot of people think Corenthal is Slenderman Himself, but I don't think that's the case at all. Slenderman was the cause for the MT4's troubles (most of them) and their subsequent involvement with Corenthal. Slenderman is what he was trying to save them from, I'm pretty sure. My friend is of the opinion that though Corenthal is dead as dead, from what we know, there must be something or someone in this "Cycle" with our boys that is Corenthal. I don't know where to look first, or what to think there, but the "again" implies the "cycle" theory even further, doesn't it? EDIT: I don't really think Corenthal is involved in the present, personally. Again, still...

Less on topic: Every time I think I can't have my mind blown any more by these guys they pull something like this, and I feel like my brain redefines the very essense of obliteration. I can't even express the distraction I have experienced today either. I forgot my ipod at home, passed my stop on the bus to work, tried to enter the computer password as "Corenthal"... I love this.

Fish, that definitely wasn't a doctor from the present.

But who ever said



that he was gone?

Interesting parallel:

In the 70's Corenthal tried to save kids in their time. Despite his best efforts he ultimately failed.

We're (Well, actually you're, since you're the ones doing something) trying to do the same thing in our time. And I think the approach taken is kinda what a doctor would do - keep everyone safe. Don't turn against each other. Present your findings but don't accuse or cause unnecessary panic (and/or harm). We can all see how that worked.

(Also, I think I'm going to plant a tree of epilepsy here, but... here goes). Perhaps the storage room was deliberately left behind by Corenthal to the next cycle? A warning or just a "I tried this and it didn't work. Try something else"?

Could the mystery boxes have been taken from that storage box?

[jdsherrer]

Wow! This was a lot to process. ( Had to be out for a Lawyer appt. )

So my 2 cents so far:

Vince felt Slendy before he appeared.

Vince's bleeding came from his proximity to SM. Much like when Evan had the same issue. Which makes me wonder if Evan's bleeding was from Proximity and not attempting to attack SM.

Jessie looks like Boxxie.

The boys were in a memory.

Just one note: Even if you think Corenthal had 70s hair, that wasn't the 70s. He only rented the storage space for 25 or so years, which would mean that was at earliest the mid-80s. That fits with our known timeline too, as the children except Linnie had succumbed by 81 and Corenthal went east then.

If HABIT's Hidden Boxes came from that storage unit, which really they must have, it opens a whole new set of possibilities here. It could mean HABIT really does remember what happened, and therefore has answers.
It also brings up the question of the fact that we still have two boxes to go, technically: So firstly he must have taken things, critical things, out of there OR he didn't plan on the guys finding it. If he DID plan on the guys finding it, was that the reason Rose was killed? So that they would have access to information Rose might not have willingly given while alive? Or perhaps she would have given TOO much, and he wants them to only know select pieces at a time (thus the remaining two boxes)?
Another issue is if HABIT was getting the belongings from the storage unit, then it's not like Evan was the one taking trips down there. HABIT had to be going through other people, and Slenderman may be the venue through which HABIT accomplishes this feat (when he otherwise would have been stuck as Evan)- if Slenderman DOES help HABIT do this, then Slenderman must have wanted them to find it. If Slenderman isn't directly involved or HABIT travels through people some other way, then Slenderman must have shown up because he DIDN'T want them to know. Still, I am assuming Slenderman's presence created the time-warp that brought Corenthal to the unit for a moment.

As for us being the Corenthals... That is the most depressing thing I think anyone has said about this series yet. Because it's so possible. But maybe HABIT really is our wildcard here.

EDIT: Also, the more I think about it, the more heartbreaking the encounter with Corenthal was.

[qaqa]

Again, we have to get the boxes that were left checked for tampering, and EMH has to call the owner of the property and check who and when the facility was last accessed.

ETA: I don't say we're the Corenthals to indicate our cause is hopeless. I say it because right now, it's true - we have taken a certain kind of caretaker role, however distanced, and are trying to help the 4.

MOAR EDITING: I don't know if I think SM intended for them to see the storage facility. This seemed like their presence triggered the siren and SM, and the timeslip almost seemed an involuntary reaction. I also don't know why HABIT-as-Evan could not have gone down there himself before.

I found this at the end of the newest video
There was also a distinct, low volume "boom"




/I kid, loving every moment of the series

[lunaticfish]

On a somewhat more random note, this does cast a little more light on the "Rose" video, should we begin believing HABIT and the storage unit were involved in that unfortunate event.

Soo, in the binder Jessie had there was an old photograph. I did some touch-up work and here it is. One of the faces is circled in red as you can see.
