Ah, ah, ah! Vaguely threatening.

Hey everyone,

A little bit off topic - but another little creative exercise for everyone: what is the most heart breaking thing Marble Hornets could do?

In the interest of not overly derailing this thread, I posted my idea in the ending thread. I suggest we move this exercise there, or make a brand new thread dedicated to it, if anyone else is interested in trying their hand.

And TTA can be slightly childish, in a certain way.

Quote:
BE SILENT. THIS IS THE BEST PART.

Quote:
"I will find you!"

YOU WILL NOT.


I don't know if that's immature exactly, but point is, I wouldn't put it past him to outright say "I TOLD YOU SO". Followed by something really creepy and threatening, probably, but still.

 		I think TTA would make a response to the tape (whatever it reveals) along the lines of "You should've listened", "Ark within reach", "Operator is a nerve-racking board game". Well exclude that last one. It'll be something directed towards Jay in a demeaning fashion.

Or encouraging. TTA wanted Jay to watch the tape, so Jay may be getting closer to TTA's goals.

And I want them to incorporate an image of the Operation board game into a TTA video now.

Kills, abducts, alters, whatever-- point is, he's not a nice being.


Operator has never killed anyone


I also just thought of something... remember Jay finds dried blood in entry 22? It was probably Seth's.

I don't think it would sit well with people because it ultimately says that the operator is only interested in certain people and anyone else he's just going to spare. That really weakens the malevolent notions of the main villain in the series as it makes him seem sympathetic in a way


Do you mean the Operator or Tim?


There are no typos. The original quote was talking about the operator just letting jessica go free into society.


Then I whole-heartedly agree-- the Operator wouldn't show that kind of mercy.


I never said TO just let her go. Although I don't discount that as a possibility. She could have just as easily got away with someones help.


The Operator's an omniscient killing machine who can mindfuck anyone he wants. If he 'dumped her back into society' he probably left something with her that will trigger later and turn her into a proxy or do something... unethical.


I don't think so. Powerful yes, smart yes but he has limits. He's not a god.
This is a paranormal story not high fantasy. There are rules and there are limits. It's clear that Alex is immune and had to be controlled by other means. You never see him wear a mask. Tim has found a way to resist him as well, albeit his method doesn't seem to work as well as Alex's. This doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending, just a real fight before it ends.

When was it confirmed that he's omniscient?
Jay's not exactly hard to find. At least according to Alex.

Jay... wasn't in 22. I assume you mean 21? I don't remember any dried blood, but haven't watched in some time.

And just to nitpick, TO has never killed anyone onscreen. We still have no way of knowing that it can't or hasn't ever.

And gennerx, we don't have any real confirmation that Alex is completely in control of his actions. It's certainly a reasonable assumption, but he could still turn out to be possessed some of the time (though some of his actions are certainly his own.) We have no way of knowing if he's immune, though. Keep in mind that Masky doesn't serve TO and we don't know what Hoody's deal is, so Alex never wearing a mask or behaving like Masky doesn't indicate anything.

 		Well he's definitely harder to find now. I think after the incidents of Entry #72, Jay and Tim have been pretty secretive as of late. I mean if Alex had to hide out and make an ambush, i'm assuming he gave up on looking. Although we don't know what's going on now due to the BREAKUP!

It's a safe bet that the mask and the hood are the result of TO's influence even if TO doesn't control him/them. Therefore the fact that Alex has no problem showing his face would indicate he's not effected the same way if at all. He also doesn't have a cough or show any of the other signs of TO influence beyond working for TO.

 		I think the masks are Hoody's doing. In entries 61/62 as well as 67 it's made pretty clear he gave him the mask in those entries. I think Hoody wears the mask probably to hide his identity, but at this point for Tim that'd be useless. Everyone knows who he is. I think it's a weird thing Hoody does for enigmatic reasons. Some kind of weird symbol, kind of like stuff in the totheark videos.

I guess what I'm saying is, I don't think the Operator makes you want to put a mask on. Hoody seems much more in control of how faculties than Masky. Hoody is probably manipulating Masky. And I think Hoody puts it on him, and Masky is like barely concious it's happening.

I think the Operator clearly has a different relationship with Alex than with Tim or Hoody. The Operator seems to protect Alex and Alex seems to bring people to him. They're on the same "side". But I don't think the masks show Alex is affected differently. I think Tim has a Masky state cause he's been stalked the longest. But I think besides that they're probably all going through more or less the same things, only Alex somehow got on its "good side".

If you don't think TO has anything to do with the mask/hood then why did you say Tim has a masky state from being stalked the longest?

Well, I'm not the expert on DID here, but I think the split personality could have developed simply from the trauma of being haunted by TO constantly or from Alex's assault on him- an indirect result of TO, but not a natural consequence per se. It's not directly related to anything you could be "immune" to, but rather a side effect of the mental burden of being stalked that long, one that wouldn't necessarily happen to all of its victims.

Am I making any sense? I can't seem to figure out how to explain this.

 		I think the state Tim is in as Masky is from the Operator. I think, Hoody uses the fact that Masky is in that state to manipulate him. And I think when Hoody does that he straps a mask on him. In other words, I don't think the psychological "Masky state" makes Tim want to put a mask on. I hope that's more clear.
