I just watched all the videos, and...wow. The acting/special effects is really top notch with this one. I agree with the others on here - Caught is one of my favorite protagonists for a Slendy vlog yet. (But he is becoming more sinister and less hilarious/sarcastic with each video posted...)

I also have to say, though, that it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the videos as the plot keeps getting more convoluted with Helper, Roivas and the Butterflies. I'll keep observing for new vids, but I'm not sure I have the time to follow everything else and get all caught up with pages and pages of extra reading (especially since this one seems quite dependent on chats, judging by all the logs I've seen posted on this thread).

Anyway, this series has awesome videos and it's cool that there is so much interaction with fans, though I think I'll have to keep observing it from afar.

I initially thought that he/she/it was holding something but then i thought, maybe it was an attempt at making Slender man's arms (Assuming that it was slender man) REALLY long or it could have been an attempt at slendicles...... just a thought. Can't see how it would look like someone sitting at a desk though

The butterflies seem to be confronted with mirror versions of themselves.

Logs can be found here:

Current speculation is that he's the ones in the dark place with him that he mentioned, and that they could possibly be trying to consume him.
They didn't recognise the name "Roivassevil" but acknowledged who he was, so we think that roivas may have invented that name to draw attention away from himself.

However roivas has asked us to give him a butterfly name...so we are currently discussing what name we should be giving him.

(another butterfly could probably give us a better explanation, so I'll ask them to post soon :3)

Currently waiting to se what is revealed by the puzzles.

another visit.

[Hyparete]

So a few members of the group got down to some hard-core theorizing and came up with some new theories and revisited things we may have overlooked, here is a little of what we went over.

- We believe roivas is capable of being vindictive and vicious.
"if someone hurts my butterflies, being hurt is too sweet a retribution"

- Roivas may have been raised speaking in code or may have forgotten how to speak and relearned through code.

- Reverse speech and such may be the way that all being in the dark place communicate. Shown by Roivas, the Mirrors who we think are from the dark place, and Caughts dialogue in the hospital

- Roivas may have dodged a question about whether Helper was once in his previous family. His response was "never in our family," 'our' possibly only relating to the butterflies.

- Helpers comment "You are but a common disease to that which cannot be touched" was speculated on, mostly focusing on the one who can not be touched.

- A recurring theory that has arisen is that Caught is perhaps something that should not exist and that Slenderman perhaps serves as a sort of "antibody for the universe," we try to avoid comparing to to final destination. This leads to the unfortunate theory that Caught might need to die.

- The 'slenderbane' jars unknown second ability could perhaps be to prevent one from being taken to the dark place, hence why caught was not fully taken.

- Roivas' comment "I think he can help me go back." might allude to Caught being some sort of bridge between worlds

- The Showtime Killer may be the Mirrors equivalent of a butterfly, possibly drawing power from fear, despair, etc.

- The Showtime Killers signature emoticon may have been an clue as to Mirrors existence. "When you see our smile you will know me to be true" was an early comment.

- The possibility the child sized coffin, the picture with the little girl, and the letter reading "Let them see the error of your ways," may imply that Caught killed a child at some point.

UPDATE

So we just had a another visit from yasurc/mirrors, followed by very brief appearance by Help3r

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yb-NxR8hrJZKF29U9j1FNEpX7uPkBMwJOhvGVNkTngk/edit

Visit seems to imply they are VERY old and Roivas' protection of natalie may have left the group exposed to the showtime killer.

UPDATE 2
So we had another Mirrors visit followed by another Help3r visit.

UPDATE 3

So looking at the wiki transcript for the original "_" video we noticed some stuff.

Welcome to the game, let's play.
Once we were alone
No one likes to be alone
We tried and [illegible]
All we wanted was a friend after all
And then could it be? Yes it was true!
Being alone wouldn't do.
We are so very few
Not anymore
Now we see you.

The video was posted roughly around the same time Mirrors claims to have been contacted by Papilio. It's a theory that Mirrors in fact posted the video but Roivas took it down.

The poem is very similar to things that have been said by Mirrors and possibly the Puppets.

Also worth noting, Help3r arrives less than two weeks after this Video.

--

Puzzle was also put together showing a picture of Papilio, with the eye pieces and a significant portion of one corner missing.

New caughtnotsleeping was posted earlier today

[sergeantsmash]

Really liked that video.

[Hyparete]

It's possible that the room is natalie's old room and is her safe place when freaking out.

Natalie goes to the alley exactly one year after Caught was attacked.

The photos on the walls are likely of her and her brother, the dog in the photos is a different dog as well.

The video seems to somewhat confirm that natalie has not lost her memories and imply that the story about her brother was true.

Natalie seems to have a flashback to her mother (or grand mother or nanny ect) singing "you are my sunshine," this is used by the puppets to taunt her in aftermath.

Natalie playing music may be related to the runners using music to hide from slendy. Natalie was shown encountering slenderman in the video.

update:
We've had three visits in the last two or three days, they have been interesting to say the least.

Showtime seemingly crashed a boardgame session, we believe this may have been real.

[TheFallenenvoy]

A summary of all the interaction lately. now we've managed to get the communications block lifted for two months (at a cost :/) we should hopefully get updates.

For precise details I recommend reading the logs.

[punxtr]

PMs, seriously, if this series is just going to be between butterflies now, just tell us. I haven't been more bummed in my life learning that I have to participate through a TC just to get plot advancement in this series.

[TheFallenenvoy]

[punxtr]

I'm not welcome in that TC, mind you.

[TheFallenenvoy]

the second half of the package came through.
We have two months of unrestricted contact with everyone, so we're going to use it to arrange a way to knock out mirrors at the end of it.
