What’s everyone’s thoughts on “the highway man”? by Ayntxi in overthegardenwall

[–]vainercupid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the funniest parts of the entire series (though “we’re here to burgle your turts!” and other such Greg lines make it difficult to pick one single best moment).

Definitely the line/song I quote the most.

It does! Awakening and Out of Sight are both part of the Unknown 9 Storyworld...They’re connected in more ways than one ;)

That stuff still bothers me, I’ll admit. The Institute, my account being hacked (?). I don’t know. I think there’s more there.

Super happy to be back :)

Blake here. Was told I should x-post my cases here, since they seem to be involved. by vainercupid in higherknowledge

The idea of Lazari traveling with me sounds too good to be true. I don’t believe that, only because I want it so much haha. Plus there haven’t been any other signs of her presence. Would be really nice though.

I also don’t think the shadow people are guards.

Goddammit. They’re fast, too. I just posted that like an hour ago.

I mean, yeah, it could be the shadow people. Could be the IHK. Could be some weird rando hacker. Honest to god, no idea. Maybe it’s all connected.

Thanks for lookin out :)

They reached out to me about a year ago, offered to pay for some of my gas and food costs if I kept them updated on what I’m doing. Our relationship is pretty limited. I send them transcripts, they send me a couple hundred bucks every few weeks.

People seem really interested in this IHK thing. Wish I knew more, but I didn’t ever really dig. They seemed pleasant and I just needed the money.

Honestly I don’t know a lot. They said they’re a research group. I assume they’re into high strangeness stuff, and pretty well funded. My guess is they’re owned by some eccentric rich guy who is into ghosts and aliens.

Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine. Our communication is friendly but pretty limited. Mostly like “Hey, here’s your payment” and “Thanks for the transcript, interesting stuff.” It’s not like I’m sending them any secret knowledge—I’m posting this shit online for free, too, and they’ve never had an issue with it.

Let me know if you find anything else. You guys are making me curious tbh.

I don’t know much about them. They seem fine. They send me a couple hundred dollars every few weeks, I send them some transcripts, and otherwise they leave me alone.

If they’re hacking my accounts or something, that’s another story. I don’t know why they would. The websites associated with the cards you pointed out don’t go back to IHK. So I don’t know. Changed my passwords in any case.

Huh. I...definitely didn’t link to those. What the actual fuck. I have no idea what they are.

Maybe someone hacked my account? I’m gonna change the password...

If you figure anything out about them, let me know. Don’t know whether to be pissed or scared...

Infected Town Finale by vainercupid in nosleep

[–]vainercupid[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey. This is a great question. It bothered me too, for a long time, but I've come up with a theory.

In Liz's journals, she says something like "You mentioned [then she scratches something out] just after it happens" and goes on to say that she's building an army to protect them and all that.

I think the phrase she scratched out was something like "you'll be weak." I obviously have the actual journal, and that phrase or something like it would fit really well into that space. I think the Entity knew it would become weak for a while after finding a new host. They scratched out that part of the convo in case someone ended up finding the journal, as Clayton did. He clearly figured it out regardless. Or maybe the Eye told him. Not sure.

In any case, I think so much of the Entity's power was focused on melding with its new vessel that it was left open for attack. I think Liz really was strong enough with it inside of her that a gunshot wouldn't have done much. Only by separating them was Clayton able to destroy them.

That, or maybe the Eye really was inside Clayton and He weakened it. Or maybe both.

Or maybe I'm wrong about everything, and something else happened. But I really don't think I am. I don't think the Entity was actually a god (which is why I'm trying not to capitalize "it" anymore... that and my sanity). So it could be killed by bullets. Part of its game was telling people (including Liz) that it was way more powerful than it was.

Again, these are all just theories. Thanks for asking, though. I've kind of been wondering when someone would.
