In the context of this theory I beleive that the narrator of entry #### was using we to refer to all the four maskys. That would explain why he used We instead of I.

I believe it's used to signify Masky and TTA are separate people.

Or that he means Him and the Operator.

I'm thinking multiple personality disorder. Or maybe some sort of Gollum-like craziness.

I had a look again at Skully, and the more I look at it the more I think it looks like a face just drawn onto something (no idea what though). If you look very closely at it in the footage of 26, you can see that the brown around it (not the large tan circle that frames the screen, but the area immediately around the face) is:

A. Most likely attached to the drawing due to the fact that it shifts perfectly with it for the second or so it's on screen.

B. Definitely not anything resembling skin, in case anyone wants to think that that's a part of someone's face. The material has a certain sheen to it that is not flesh.

I'm with 8bit and TheBioGuy. We shouldn't assume it's a mask.

Thank you Odysseus! A bit of discussion on the idea was all I wanted.

I re-watched the scene with Skully several times yesterday to see if there was anything else to suggest it's a mask (I didn't want to push the point if it was obvious I was wrong). It does move slightly in the clip in way suggestive of someone turning slightly towards the camera, but it's far from conclusive. It could just as easily be the camera moving around a static object, or even a doll being held and moved slightly.

I do like the theory that it's a sort of proto-masky but, as TheBioGuy said, there's just not enough there to go on.

The other thing I notice about the scene is the circular "tunnel-vision" frame around Skully. Every time I see it it makes me think of an iris, as though it's an extreme close-up of something reflected in someone's eye.
Now, that could just be me, but if that is the case then the skully scene could be symbolic; a visual metaphor for death or danger, maybe?

For some reason I keep thinking it looks like a balloon, but that wouldn't work with how the eyes are. They seem to either be in a depression or completely carved out.

Whether it's a mask, hood, or some sort of figure that's been created, I don't think it's constructed from any collapsible material like cloth or a bag; it seems to hold its curved shape too well for that. My guess is that it's either hard plastic or ceramic, but it could be anything that isn't porous.

This is gonna be relatively quick, cause I've got company, but:

1. I always thought it had that 'balloonlike' shape because it was getting recorded either by a fisheye lens or through a peephole, as one sees on a door. That would account for the oddness, and for how little we see of the person behind the mask.

2. Even if it's not a mask, someone out there wants either us or Jay or Alex or whoever that video was taken by to THINK it's a mask. It's clearly made in the tradition of the confirmed mask's aesthetic -- eye sockets blacked, nostrils and the outside edge of the mask all outlined with black, and something on the mouth.

That's relevant.
