[network] @MarbleHornets; morning 20 [open]

[genreblindness]

[Here's a summary of the last ten or so hours of Jay's life: he woke up locked inside a spooky cold morgue in the middle of the night, suffering from a terrible headache and sensitivity to light that made him want to curl up in the shadows. Then, just as he finally managed to fall asleep, he woke up to a mystery injection with no warning. Then, upon inspecting the tablet he found on him, he discovered he'd recently posted a video on the local network despite having no memory of doing so. A video that made it look a lot like he'd died.

Actually, he seems to be missing at least several weeks' worth of memories. Again.

And just to top everything off, he has no tapes for his camera.

Everything really sucks.

He hadn't planned on making any more posts until he had a better grasp on the situation, but after a skim of earlier posts he feels the need to ask a question.]

Apparently a couple of people here have lost their memories and then gotten them back. Is that a common thing? If there's anyone else who's experienced something like that, please tell me. Thank you.

[...It is occurring to Jay that he might not be the greatest liar there ever was. It's not entirely a shocking realisation.]

And you watched the entries?
Did you even know about the whole mask multiple personality thing or whatever before that?

[maskintape]

no
not exactly, I mean
I'd had blackouts and woken up in weird places without knowing how I got there
once with a broken leg, thanks to Alex
but I didn't know what was going on exactly, I thought it was connected to something else. it's complicated

[genreblindness]

Is that when we started working together then? After you found out.

[maskintape]

nah
I got pissed at you for uploading all that stuff to the internet and not telling me anything
I punched you in the face and told you to stay out of my life, which you interpreted as "be a pal and go get my medical records from totheark and then upload those to youtube as well"

[genreblindness]

I
probably had a good reason to do that

[Even if it sounds really stupid when you put it like that...]

[maskintape]

keep believing that man I admire your optimism
other stuff happened after that
totheark basically forced me into blacking out so mask guy would get to say hi for a while
you came looking for me, weird stuff went down, we both woke up in Rosswood the next morning
after that it was pretty obvious I couldn't stay out of it so. we started working together
it's been a while since then. we're friends now

[genreblindness]

When you say friends
do you mean like
close friends

[That's a subtle way of inquiring about the exact nature of their relationship, right? TIM WILL NEVER SUSPECT A THING.]

[maskintape]

[ Jay, what ]

uh, yeah?
I mean we've been together over a year so
pretty sure that qualifies as close

[ SERIOUSLY DUDE THAT'S YOUR MOST PRESSING QUESTION RN??? ]

[genreblindness]

[T O G E T H E R...]

Ok well
it's just weird hearing about that when I only barely know you I guess.
Don't get me wrong you seem cool aside from the weird mask stalking thing but
I can't just jump back into things like normal when I don't remember anything you know?

[maskintape]

[ ...okay someone being overly friendish at you when you don't know them could... be weird? Tim guesses?

???

???????????? ]

well yeah I wouldn't expect you to
if you thought I was being pushy or w/e asking for your location that's not what I was trying for
surviving here is easier with somebody else is all
I'd get it if you didn't want me around but you shouldn't be out there on your own

[genreblindness]

No it's fine probably. It might be weird but I'm sure it won't get too bad. And I'm pretty sure having someone else around couldn't hurt.

[maskintape]

ok great. i'll try to be as unweird as possible I guess?
so assuming I count as trustworthy now
ish
are you in the funeral home or the other place
do you see the west wall

[genreblindness]

No I'm in a chapel. Can't see any walls from here, just a graveyard and a pond and a lot of snow.

[maskintape]

right ok I remember the pond
I'm a few days out from there, especially with this much snow
ok if you head north through the graveyard and keep going you'll get to the cat house
there aren't a lot of other buildings nearby iirc so you might want to head straight up there

[genreblindness]

Why is it called the cat house?
Not that I really care because it's probably still going to be better than this place
I'm just curious

[maskintape]

like I'm really going to ruin the surprise for you
where's the fun in that
I'm setting you up on a magical journey of discovery here

[genreblindness]

I've already had more than enough magical discoveries for one day, thanks

[maskintape]

k
it's a house with cat stuff in it.
cat house.

you'll never guess what's in clown house, it's going to blow your goddamn mind

[genreblindness]

Does every house in this town have a weird theme or is it just those two? Either way what kind of people even lived here? And where did they go?

[maskintape]

there's also sports house, the house... of sports
other than that though no
themes aren't a thing
and we don't know what happened to the residents here. I found bodies in a park but
yeah

[genreblindness]

bodies
christ this is all
really messed up

[maskintape]

I'll say
but at least you're not alone
I mean you're alone because nobody's there with you but
it's not like how things just were from your perspective, I guess? you have support
not like. twitter support
people who know you and know what you're going through. you know?
and I'm guessing that's pretty weird but don't hesitate to use it

[genreblindness]

[That is. Incredibly weird, actually. Jay's never had a lot of friends, and since he got involved with Marble Hornets he's become used to complete isolation. (Apart from twitter support)]

Most of that support is from you right

[Because of the togetherness and shit?]

But yeah
It might take some getting used to but it's not like I'm going to turn away help.

[maskintape]

well yeah
I mean obvs I can help out in ways other people can't so

[ Since he also knows about the thing? And about Jay in general?? No bromo??? ]

don't be shy about using the network as surrogate company either
things start to feel weird here when you're alone too long
don't let that happen to you ok. talk to people. check in often. all that stuff

[genreblindness]

[All the bromo oh my god.]

Well yeah it's not like I never talked to people before. Talking people over this thing isn't that different from the internet really. Just more video chats.

[Jay pls. Pls.]
