Entry 33 consists of Jay opening the hotel door to reveal the return of Timasky who ushers them onto his motorbike, yes all three of them on one bike, before being chased by the operator, ala terminator 2.

But in all seriousness I doubt Jay or Jessica will die yet, not that I want any the characters to, but we probabely wont get a tweet for a couple of days and an entry for a week. From Jay that is......

We are dying here Jay! I mean, I'm sure he won't actually die, because then, I mean, game over, right?

Not if Jessica takes over as the main character.

Jay wasn't sleepwalking in Return, he was taken by ToTheArk, as seen in Entry 19.

The bit in Entry 24 where he leaves the room and just vanishes might be something more like sleepwalking - he kind of looks like he's in a trance when he does that, and he does admit that he has no memory of what he was doing then.

My face is meeeeeelllltttiiiiiinnnnggg!
I got a pain in my chest from Jessica's hysterics. Freaked me out completely. I actually had the urge to smack her to make her stop it was that intense!

Jay is very wise uploading before he went over, if something happened, we'd have thought it was just another lul of no activity especially considering the lack of action in this season so far. (Trailguy doesn't count as its just idle paranoia at work). At least now if he never posts we know he's dead...

I was intrigued by mantisbot's research on ibuprofen. It helps with amnesia? Thats new to me, and I guess they were expecting us - in all our over-analysation glory - to have discovered that day 1. If jay started taking it months ago it might be what knocked him back to reality. If he's stopped taking them I expect a relapse.

About jess, yes thats not a smirk, its crazy-scared face. Also, I figure she's baiting him, spidey senses tingled when she started talking. If not, something is wrong with her room. Lastly, her eyes were all over the place, and the degree and purposefulness of her leftward glances means she was not accessing internal idea-making but actually looked at something irl. The side look is a "look off into the distance" or "looking at nothing" for it to be the lying left glance.

The one on the right is straight out terrifying.

The question remains, where the hell are they going to go now? Hopefully not looking for the noentry tunnel.

I doubt he could convince her to go out and look for what they want to be escaping. They'll likely just drive off and try and put as much distance between them and it as they can, and think about where to stop later.

His immediate want to leave is...well, given his growing paranoia, again, isn't THAT odd but...the rush of the video and upload really makes me think there is something we're missing here, why else would he suddenly want to move when before hand nothing else was showing up any signs that he needed to move right away?.


Or maybe Jess's revelations just made him realise how wrong their predicament is. I mean, it's weird being in a hotel with only one other guest, but when Jess confesses that she's having the same problems and suspicions... that could just be the point where Jay thinks, "Shit, we're definitely here for a reason, and I don't think it's a good one". He had suspicions before, but they've just been confirmed.

Also, the reason Jay knew to hightail it out of there ASAP was probably that he saw the distortion on the camera viewfinder as he was filming. This video was not filmed via the chestcam, so he'd be able to see the distortion as it happened, and considering the frequency, severity and variety of the distortions that occurred, him and his Operator-knowing ass could tell what was going on.


Gotta disagree here. Jay's only ever said that he's noticed the distortion on playback - he's never seen it in the viewfinder while recording before, so no reason to think he can now. I think if he did, he'd be FAR more freaked out then he was in this video.

However you did bring up the door. He asked her to keep it open but as you can see it's open a very time little bit. Now, I can understand being a female and all and privacy but with the way she kept looking away and in the direction of her room that we couldn't see, there's a reason why she wanted to close it and why in the end she left it open just a small bit.


I don't think her almost shutting the door was suspicious either. Jay's still a stranger to her, so she probably wouldn't be comfortable leaving it wide open while she got ready to leave. She still leaves it slightly ajar. That's exactly what I'd have done in her position.
Her constant looking around only seems like paranoia to me too; don't think she was looking at anything in particular.

Here's an idea: The distortion would seem to indicate that the Operator is nearby. Maybe his proximity also increases their fear and paranoia? That could also help explain the sudden decision to leave too, not to mention justify it!

I'm unsure as to whether or not this subject has been touched, but why doesn't Jay just go down to the lobby and ask for the combination to the safe in his room?

Huh! Bad MH fan here: I can't remember when he said that. Can you point me in the direction of that statement?

Incidentally, I thought Jay WAS pretty freaked out by the end of the video, albeit freaked out Jay-style which means heavy breathing and shaky hands, not "OMAG THE WORLD IS ENDINGGG" and flailing about.

(Can I take a moment to say again here how much I LOVE the amount of Jay characterization we're getting this season? It's awesome!)

Next entry: Jessica and Jay are driving along and Slendy is in the middle of the street. Jessica freaks out, Jay puts the pedal to the metal and guns it --

And they wake up in Evan's basement, and the EMH guys are there. "You're the fifth group this week! Time to party!"

Seriously, though... the more I think about it, the more likely it seems that they're going to wind up in the hotel again. It's either that, or they just go from one to another again. They could try to go to Jess's place, if she remembers where it is. Jay's place is toast. They may or may not have Alex's place depending upon if Jay lost his memory of it. Even if they could, I doubt they'd go to Tim's place, unless Jay ignores the glorious burns on the side of the mask that was trying to attack him.

Has anyone yet noted that the entry on the Marble Hornets Twitter page:

"Entry #32 is being uploaded now."

Continually says:

"less than a minute ago via web"

Maybe it's just my computer, but I've tried regular refresh, a hard refresh, and opening a completely new tab to open the webpage and it still simply says:

"less than a minute ago via web"

It's probably nothing, but I still find it odd.

Granted I don't use twitter and I have no idea if there'd be a way they could do this.

Sorry, hope that's not too OT.

I'm curious about the safe still, I agree with what someone said that he might have hidden the last 7 months story in tapes inside it for safekeeping, but if he was put in the hotel it might be a message from TTA or maybe even Alex, who knows. Idunno I'm curious to see how this plays out with Jess.
