lurker here , poster in some of the other threads,

I managed to catch up with this one quite late on, and i dont get why everyone says its crying, i think it sounds like laughter or one of those fake crys you know like from a plastic doll?. the cry sounded almost as if it was played on a repeat rather than being consistant sobbing,

I think it smells like a set up also as per above post Smile

Turning to Emily, that of the videos of dad, I said many pages back that seemed to have belonged to the group at some point. I could look, and what specific video I meant, but just got back from work and I'm tired. Then came very conveniently, like expected, but to know should follow the MDT channel, and is rare, unless you are informed. Now we see the DNC, the same as ever, driving through Las Vegas, where it appears that Emily is, but it is difficult to track down someone in a city like this. And then she called to say he is insecure and finally that someone stalks her ... What aim! Yeah! Our mindless drinker of margaritas ...

This afternoon I thought about the last video of DNC, that perhaps the point the camera so long at the hotel may have some purpose other than to make known the city where he was, and would be to say that he knew that Emily was there . It could also mean that time slowed down a small piece of video, is in a residential zone. But after this latest video, it no longer makes sense. Or yes, I do not know.

I came home with the idea of ​​proposing tell Chris to leave a message of caution to Emily, but it's too late ... by the way, how old will now Emily? Assuming that Emily is the girl from the videos of Dad, because, now that I think, I'm a little lost, and maybe Emily is not that woman ...

Regards.

gosh, that was interesting.

But I will join the small choir of people singing "trap".

I mean either Emily is dramatically stupid or this is a trap. Why call someone in the middle of the night and tell them you need help and then blame them without giving the person any way or chance to help.

From the sounds of it we can presume the mirror message is from her and if so it proves she is not in real danger as why didn't she just wake him?

Also I second the idea that the sound is from a doll, which makes sense with the "Games Children Play" DNC video.

Cool, now I'm gonna have dreams of DNC mixed with Child's Play... that's...that's great. Childhood fear meets adult creepiness.

I'm thirding/fourthing/whatevering the doll idea. Jono, did you try playing around with the audio at all? Try to remove the echo? I don't know if it might help, but it might...

Did someone already mention the odd beeping/talking in the background wen the laughter is a few seconds in? Another reason to play with the audio.

I'm attaching a transcript for those that want it. Sorry I called Chris MDT all the way through it.

I can't tell what he has told her about what is happening. Seems to me like he hasn't really told her anything yet. Just answered a few very general questions that she's asked. I can't tell if she is an evil Lilith or a good Lilith either.

She looks quite a bit like the blond girl from the dad's videos.

Its oddly edited as well, if you watch the background you realise that bits that logical fit as coming one after the other have been edited together.

Lilith seems pretty neutral and forgiving. Her last few lines of "don't do anything negative" caught my interest. If she knows about the whole DNC thing then it is rather leading and feels a lot like Adam's bringing it up over and over and over.

I checked the audio from the other video out, not much to report, its a bit distorted (which is logical as it was transmitted by a phone codec) but it sounds like its being tipped like one of those noise tin things you can buy (not sure if there is a dolly that laughs if you tip it upside down) but does sound very toy like, mostly due to how similar it is on every bit

i said the same thing on twitter, it sounds like a toy doll that laughs, its too repetitive, sounds as if its being played on repeat.

Finally caught up with this! 105 pages of info and all of the videos have kept me busy during my free time this past week. I am here to help, though I am not sure what sort of help I could be. I'm no good at puzzles.

My suspicions? Melissa plays a bigger role in this than we are led to believe. Maybe she has taken on a bigger chunk of the DNC role?

This is really interesting but I don't really want to read 105 pages to catch up. Do I need to read them all or where is a good starting point?

Uuuuuuh, just watch all the videos on the MDT and DNC channels, basically. I think Chris has a playlist with all the videos (DNC and MDT) in order. Also, if you need help we're usually all in the IRC. Server irc.chat-solutions.org), channel #mdt.

She is a liar.

Sorry for not posting in a while.

As someone who suffers from something that affects my personality and my reaction to others. I can tell easily when someone is lying, unlike Melissa who used Chris to get to DNC. Lilith is there simply to get close to Chris and lead him into a trap. He will start to open up to her and get an emotional connection to her. And then, it will all end badly. We need to warn Chris I don't know his number but someone has to tell him not to trust her. That this was all an elaborate plan to get him to call that number. And to push him to that edge. (eg. the messages telling him to kill himself.) I think she is a very high up member in whatever this group is.

Well a quick inventory of the video:

-Netting (blue)
-various horse stuff
-horse (maybe the horse is DNC?)
-blood covered metal draw, with one empty but for a rag (storage?)
-plastic sheeting (like the kind seen in DNC vids)
-Duct tape everywhere (suggesting someone was held here)
-ceiling hooks and badly attached electrics (suggesting it was done by Don)
-Industrial lighting (DNC videos are very bright)
-Rabbits foot (Alice in Wonderland/ general good luck, but red rather than white)
-lots of bricks
-bits of metal
-oddly half finished picutures of horses
-messy bedroom
-open suitcase that is half packed
-black tight top
-pink and black female wigs (someone dressing up as someone else, not we have not seen long pink hair in this series)
-attic
-various carnival masks


One thing I feel the need to point out is the fact this video has no context, how in the world did Chris get in? Some of the noise suggests he is not alone in the house, but why randomly break in?

The red rabbits foot is easy to buy online, but I can't help feeling the red is symbolic if nothing else.

Also, that is a lot of horse stuff, loads of clothing and a load of saddals, I mean its several sets worth, so either Don hordes this stuff (he does like horses and some is rather dirty), he has more than one horse or he runs some form of horse riding company and sells it?

The masks and wigs....well the idea of using the wigs and the masks to make your group seem bigger would work, but its never been used as DNC loves his current look. While it could be brushed off as a random halloween prop, why have the head and keep them right near your bed? the position suggests regular use. The masks could be decoration and do look like the prettier well made ones you buy for your wall as opposed to ones you would actually wear.

The mess of the bedroom and the half opened case really does suggest that Don left this place very very quickly.
