 		Quick question: Why is Alex just now succumbing to Slendy-sickness? Tim and Jay were seen coughing and whatnot all through the first "season" and even though it was Alex that the Operator paid the most seen attention to, he's only coughing just now. Any ideas?

It could be that Alex has grown an immunity to the slender sickness but if Slender man puts his mind to it like in this entry Alex can still get sick. Or you get sick the first few times Slender man gets close.

 		1. Keep in mind that the "just now" you are referring to is about 6 1/2 months ago.
2. He coughed in 21, I believe.
3. That wasn't slendersickness, that was getting knocked the fuck out.

Well if you really wanna be precise, the "just now" happened over a year ago. But yeah, 6 1/2 months before the start of Season 2.

 		I think that, like audio and video distortion, Operator can control when people get sick and how sick they get, and that the sickness is more the result of it exerting its control over people, when it needs them to do something. Maybe it couldn't control Alex before then for some reason, though it did induce at least some memory loss with him, and definetely did so with J.

 		A Question About Jessica
Okay, I'm posting this question here because this is the entry in which we learn that Jessica was Amy's roommate. If it needs to go somewhere else, let me know. Also if it's been brought up already, just ignore me.

In Entry 30, when Jay asks Jessica what she's doing at the hotel, she says she "got kicked out." Does this have any more relevance, now that we know where she used to live?

It could be a lie, obviously, but who chooses something so negative to lie about? After all, Jay chose relatively positive excuses - he just happened to choose three of them. If it is a lie, then what really happened? Did she bail after seeing that Amy was gone?

If it's not a lie and someone did throw her out, who did it? Was it Amy, before the Operator incident? Was it someone else, afterwards? It seems like Amy would have been the only one with the authority to kick her out; why would you heed anyone but your roommate in a situation like that?

If it happened after Operator visit, could Amy have still done it? That idea kind of terrifies me.

Anyway, like I said, this may have been brought up before, but sixty-two pages is a lot to look through.

Hrmm... Chronologically, the order goes: Amy and the Operator incident, Alex calls Jessica Amy's roommate, Jessica reports to Jay that she has been kicked out.

It's odd. The simple answer is that she was lying or, like Jay, had no idea how or why she was there. On the other hand, the fact that she stated she was kicked out, and we later find out who her roommates are, suggest a certain amount of significance.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That's probably just me putting puzzles in the filmmaker's mouths, however. I'll stick with the simple answer of she was lying or forget.

Just want to clarify things here.

Jessica was lying about being kicked out. In entry #32, she confesses that she knows Jay is lying about why he is at the hotel (filming a hotel documentary; house being renivated; job being relocated) and pleads for him to tell her what is going on.

Jay, obviously not wanting to seem completely insane and tell her an entire story about the Operator and masked men, just says it's too complicated and shoots back with, "what's it matter to you?"

Jessica, in return, says the truth:

"I think something is going on; I know something is going on. I don't know how I got here and you're the only person I've seen in this hotel other than the staff and we have conjoining rooms. I don't even know you; you said yourself that I'm a stranger! You haven't got any kind of memory loss, at all? I'm loosing huge chunks of time; I'm having pounding headaches; I can't sleep, and when I do sleep I feel like I'm sleep walking. I keep having these dreams where I'm a little kid and something is watching me.."

At that point Jay seemingly decides that they should 'team up' and next thing we know, she disappears.


Seemingly both Jay and Jessica woke up in a hotel room after an extended period of time with huge portions of their memory lost.

 		[offtopic]How the hell does this entry thread have so many pages? o.o[/offtopic]

I agree, I don't really think Jessica got "kicked out". I think it was a lie. Weird, though, how Jessica wasn't present that day when the Operator appeared. There are many reasons she could have been out, but what happened afterwards? She did wake up in the hotel with Jay so it's safe to assume that at some point, she came in contact with the Operator...

Yep, I think it's safe to assume that during the months that Jay has lost his memory of, Jessica eventually got thrown into this Operator mess. I'm guessing we'll figure out how within the next few entries, as she's been mentioned quite a bit lately and there's an obvious connection between her and Amy&Alex - who have been in contact with Slendy.

I wonder if Jay and Jessica 'woke up' in the hotel on the same day? I think it's interesting to consider the possibilities there.

 		Hey y'all,

Just a quick few notes very related to many topics here discussed about Alex and his motivation.

I do not believe Alex is doing anything intentionally maliciously. What we know is this: he enters the woods and goes straight to the place. He is looking for something or someone. He walks through brush and boom, Slendy is standing there. He gets sick, and seems to be very clearly enthralled. But go to 4:45 and watch how he walks via the motion of the camera. It's pretty smooth. Then at 5:30 it cuts to the gravel pit field and its really choppy. Watch how uncoordinated his movements are going through the hole. *He wants video proof that he being controlled!*

Looking back on his behavior in seasons 1 and 2, they all tell a simple story of a man trying escape something he can't handle. He quit filming when he moved off the radar and stopped being followed, he started up when he realized he hadn't escaped. Cut and dry.

Consider the video camera that mysteriously appears. He shows no signs of knowing of it. Then when he realizes he might have accidentally brought it, he wants her to turn it off. Why? Bad memories. He was living at a state of fear for how long? Always feeling compelled to video tape himself.

But what I have not yet read someone point out once is this. Watch the TIMESTAMPS on 26!!! The footage on the video starts with things clearly that were not videotaped by anyone whose identity is known assuredly (starts at 2:30). Now watch at 2:45 the timestamp is 4.4.2010; 3:57 pm filming a thin shadow. It cuts to 3:59 filming the sink. At 4:00 it cuts to 4:03 where we confirm that Amy has it in her hands.

****She wasn't the one filming the earlier cuts!***** She got it out of the closet you can see on the right side of the hall at 4:03! She immediately holds it wobbly, inexperienced, puts it on herself and talks to Alex. Everything earlier was nice and smooth. It was experienced. The couple talks, TO makes his appearance, end entry.

I believe the camera was clearly planted to give Alex the evidence he needs to know he is no longer safe and take the best care he can. Alex definitely reviewed the tape and sent it on to Jay, but what this video confirms to me is that Alex cannot be TTA, neither is Jay or Seth.

I believe we can confirm Masky is antagonistic towards Alex and Jay, but that he is distinct from TTA. TTA's "evil" videos are just serious warnings, he/she is trying to help. He wants Jay to know he is losing time, that he is not safe, that he should be on edge, etc. TTA will be revealed to be Hoodie/Blasky (whichever we are calling him).

This entry provides a lot more resolution than I think people appreciate. Alex is not consciously in league with TO, giving us a clear axis along which we can try to separate out the known identities along. Before this, I think there was a reasonable argument for Alex being in league with TO.

 		I don't think it's the same place...

From an IG standpoint, that's the apartment Alex moved to with Amy, and he presumably didn't know about her during the filming of MH, or at least didn't live with her.

For an OOG standpoint, they've had a lot of houses and apartments together. Doubtful that they still have access to this one.

 		I think he meant the similarity between the cars.
