PRIVATE MESSAGE: Cupio_Dissolvi -> treeisfun
[14:22] treeisfun: my man! what’s up?
i don’t think oxy can see this? why are you asking?
[14:24] Cupio_Dissolvi: You have no idea how glad I am to hear from you. I feel like you’re the only person left here who both possesses an open mind and some semblance of sanity.
[14:26] treeisfun: hahaha no problem man
ya, we got this whole crazy thing and nobody wanna talk about it? shit’s sad
so what’ve you got? more dreams? idk didn’t have anymore
kinda wanted more tbh
[14:29] Cupio_Dissolvi: No more occurences for me either. But it seems Karmic went through the same experience as we did after exposure to the image? They managed to see what lied beyond the viking bridge, but I couldn’t allow myself to listen to his ramble for a single additional second.
[14:31] treeisfun: yooo, that ain’t nice
couldn’t have been that bad
you wanted to know how this shit worked, right?
[14:31] Cupio_Dissolvi: [Image Attachment: screenshot719.png]
[14:33] treeisfun: …
yeah ok i see that’s pretty cringe
still tho if you wanna figure this out you gotta do what you gotta do
any leads?
[14:37] Cupio_Dissolvi: Alright. Here’s a summary of my theory so far. Me, Oxy, you, Karmic, DareToRun, solami, 10ne1 and Ancient were all exposed to the picture. Of all 8 of those, only the first four reported an experience. My first assumption is that it must be a 50% chance? It also seems like it can only happen once every X days. I looked at the picture again before last night, but sadly, I did not return to the parking lot, or anywhere else for that matter.
[14:39] treeisfun: what about that room5 dude tho
think it was actually ancient?
if it was, why’d he forget
[14:41] Cupio_Dissolvi: Right. ROOM_5. It remembered a relationship with 10ne1 that only Ancient could have ever known about. I hypothesize that Ancient was the one speaking here, but that the event vanished from his memory soon after. This sudden amnesia has to be linked with the timer on the computer. If one takes too long, their memory of their adventure in the dream world is wiped.
[14:43] treeisfun: so maybe the others forgot about it too?
did they all get to the computer and run out of time?
no they’d have sent messages
maybe the timer is for the whole place and ancient just went real fast?
[14:46] Cupio_Dissolvi: That is an interesting theory. But Karmic reports to have taken their time during their exploration of the village segment, and yet their memory of their expedition has remained intact. It isn’t a global timer, then. A different factor must be responsible for the amnesia.
[14:48] treeisfun: what would the others have done in dreamland?
daretorun would’ve probably kicked the shit out of the glass monster lmao
idk what solami and one would’ve done i don’t really know them
[14:50] Cupio_Dissolvi: Look. [Image Attachment: screenshot720.png] Solami stated he’d have ran into the infinite parking lot, away from the door. As for 10ne1, I have no idea. She isn’t exactly willing to talk about this situation.
[14:55] treeisfun: I KNOW
if you fail you forget
if you run away from the door, you get lost
if you try to fight the invis glass monster, you get your ass handed to you
if you type too long at the computer, you… idk but you fail
same thing prolly happens if you fall in bridge holes
[14:58] Cupio_Dissolvi: Yes! That must be it. How can we be granted a second attempt? Can those who failed try again, so that we could convince them we aren’t liars? What determines whether opening a door ends the expedition or brings the dreamer to the next room? How many doors are there, in fact? What lies at the end? Is there an end? So many questions, so few answers.
[15:00] treeisfun: hahaha we make a great team
i’m sure we’ll figure it out
ok now you should unblock karmic and apologize
he might say smth interesting
im here if you need to vent after lmao
[15:03] Cupio_Dissolvi: You have my gratitude. We have made substantial progress towards understanding this phenomenon, thanks to your input. I will take a deep breath, and do as you say. A little bit of my sanity lost by listening to Karmic is a trivial sacrifice for what he could provide us.
[15:03] treeisfun: good luck man!

You showed your true nature, an emotionless worm incapable of parsing other’s emotions.

[15:23] treeisfun: ouch.
[15:23] Cupio_Dissolvi: Yes, ouch. That went about as bad as I could have imagined.
[15:24] treeisfun: so what’s the plan chief
[15:25] Cupio_Dissolvi: We need to get ROOM_5 to speak again. It should increase our believability to the eyes of the others. If we can get Oxy to lift the new rule, we could start a collaborative effort to discover how this game truly works.
[15:26] treeisfun: and to do that we’re gonna need to find someone who hasn’t seen the pic yet
oh fuck
[15:26] Cupio_Dissolvi: Yes. Oh fuck.
[15:27] treeisfun: you actually think tarr’s gonna help us?
[15:27] Cupio_Dissolvi: He won’t snitch to Oxy, that’s for sure.
[15:28] treeisfun: he’s gonna have to, you know, actually get to room 5
if you just send the pic with some info he ain’t gonna read any of it
he’s just gonna call you names and laugh at you
man’s always angry
doesn’t know how to chill
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
[15:33] Cupio_Dissolvi: Think about it. Tarr gains access to the computer. He says under ROOM_5’s account that he is the real tarr and proves it with some code we will have agreed on beforehand. He escapes before the timer expires, and awakens with his memory intact. He explains how ROOM_5 was actually him speaking. He could even make a comment about the village that only Karmic has seen and managed to remember. Then, we both come into the thread and explain the amnesia theory. With this much evidence, Oxy will be forced to lift the rule and we will be able to start working concretely towards finding a solution to this puzzle.
[15:33] treeisfun: wait isn’t room5 banned by oxy tho
[15:34] Cupio_Dissolvi: … Right.
[15:36] treeisfun: hate to say it but this shit ain’t gonna work
you gotta get tarr to work with us, karmic to forgive you so he agrees with tarr’s story, oxy to not insta ban the thread and everyone involved
i really, really want it to work man, trust me
but it’s a lost cause
it’s tarr we’re talking about here
[15:38] Cupio_Dissolvi: We have to try. It’s our only chance. Unless we can figure out some way to return to the dream realm even after one expedition. Sadly, our efforts have been fruitless in this domain for now.
Maybe I’ll appeal to tarr’s ego, or his dislike for authority. It could grab his interest.
[15:40] treeisfun: >Sadly, our efforts have been fruitless in this domain for now.
it’s been one night
not enough info
what if it happens again tonight?
i say we just let some time pass
let oxy and all the others to calm down a bit
karmic’s gonna forgive you
time heals all wounds
then we try
[15:41] Cupio_Dissolvi: You’re right. I’m being ruthless and impatient. I could have costed us the opportunity of a lifetime to discover something no human has ever seen before.
[15:41] treeisfun: that’s the spirit man!
catch you later
we’re gonna figure this shit out
just not now
[15:42] Cupio_Dissolvi: Farewell.
PRIVATE MESSAGE: Cupio_Dissolvi -> tarr
[15:59] Cupio_Dissolvi: Would you be interested in something that would get Oxy to undergo a public emotional meltdown?
[16:29] tarr: I’m not your personal army. Fuck off.
[16:30] Cupio_Dissolvi: It might even get her to admit she was in the wrong, for once.
[16:31] tarr: [Image Attachment: allyouhadtosay.gif]
[16:33] Cupio_Dissolvi: Excellent. Please take a look at this. [Image Attachment: babel.png]
[16:34] tarr: What the fuck am I looking at? If you want to be a little obscure cunt, find someone else to suck up your shitty puzzles.
[16:37] Cupio_Dissolvi: Alright. I’ll keep it brief. Looking at this image induces an extremely realistic dream similar to tree’s the next time you will sleep. The procedure is simple. Open all doors you can see. In the second room, watch out for an invisible creature, which you may see through the crystal pendulum. Then, don’t walk too slowly in the dark space. Keep an eye out for holes in the ground. After that, ignore the bench and go straight for the house on the right. You’ll find a computer. Say that you’re tarr, and prove it by entering this code: 98015.
[16:39] tarr: And I thought I was gonna speak to someone who knows how to make sense, for once. Into the trash it goes.
[16:39] Cupio_Dissolvi: Do with it as you will.

Threads/Community Creations/Two new artworks!
[3:21] 10ne1: Hiya all :D
Today was a day off for me, so I got to treat myself with a nice cinnamon latte and a lot of free time to do some drawing!
I know pretty much everyone is asleep or busy right now, but I was just so excited to show you my work! I’m looking forward for what you will have to say about it.
Here’s the first piece! It’s a brown bunny peeking out of its little home. I got the inspiration by seeing it when I took the forest trail on my way back from college. I named it Moka, like the coffee!
[Image Attachment: moka.png]
And here’s the second one. It’s apparently from a video game my brother is playing right now? I know nothing about it, but I really liked how he described the character. It’s the perfect blend of creepy and cute! The white skull and antlers contrast nicely with the rainbow robe. This was a lot of fun to draw!
[Image Attachment: wendigo.png]
And that’s it :D I hope you guys enjoy! Leave your constructive criticism, or maybe some nice words down below.
[3:35] treeisfun: on my work break rn
yoooo those look dope
you have some sick talent
[3:39] 10ne1: Aww, thank you! <3
[3:42] karmIcCycles: It looks good. I like it.
[3:44] 10ne1: Thanks bro! Is the second one close to the original?
[3:45] karmIcCycles: There are no arms. They are supposed to be hidden under the robe.
[3:47] 10ne1: Oh, okay! I’ll write that down if I do anymore fanart!
Hey, is something wrong?
[3:47] karmIcCycles: I’m fine. Thanks.
[3:47] Cupio_Dissolvi: Wondrous artwork! The detail, the color, the composition - it all coalesces into a beauteous arrangement that irradiates me with a calming, yet eerie feeling.
[3:50] 10ne1: >I’m fine. Thanks.
Okay! Let me know if you need to talk.
>Wondrous artwork!
Aww, thanks Cupio! That’s a lot of words I had to look up, but I’m glad you liked it. :D
Wait, oh gosh :o
What are you doing so late? Isn’t it the middle of the night where you live?
[3:52] Cupio_Dissolvi: I am indeed feeling very exhausted. I set an alarm to wake me up an hour ago. I am chewing coffee beans to keep me awake. It’s disgustingly bitter, but it’s effective.
[3:54] 10ne1: Woah! Are you putting yourself through this to watch the Perseid meteor shower? I’m going to see if I can get a glimpse later tonight.
[3:54] Cupio_Dissolvi: No. But I am on the lookout for another event. It may come. It may not. We shall see.
[3:56] 10ne1: Not telling me what it is, huh? :( Alright. Mysterious Cupio, as always.
[4:01] R00M_5: jesus fucking hell please fucking help I only have 5 minutes
[4:01] Cupio_Dissolvi: There it is! Well done, tarr. I knew I could count on you. Now, tell us the code.
[4:01] R00M_5: Yes I’m tarr the code is 980 something? 98051? 98015? i forgot shit fuck sorry man please fucking tell me what to do now
[4:02] 10ne1: What in the world is this? I thought Oxy banned this room guy. Cupio, were you involved with this?
[4:04] Cupio_Dissolvi: Alright. I’m not exactly sure what you need to do now, to be honest. Besides not letting the timer run out, that is. Can you describe the room you’re in?
[4:04] R00M_5: fuuuuuuck 3 more minutes okay it’s a white hospital hallway with some weird blue plants there’s 2 doors one with an arrow and one with a tv symbol and there’s this computer too
[4:06] Cupio_Dissolvi: Interesting. It seems time flows differently for you. Alright. Try the door with the arrow on it. Try to get out of there. Try to not forget what you went through.
[4:06] R00M_5: 1 min ok i go do that bye
[4:08] 10ne1: Oxy’s really not going to like what she sees when she wakes up.
Why did you derail my thread with your interactive storytelling again? Why are you so disrespectful of everyone here?
[4:10] karmIcCycles: I think this stuff is interesting too, but it’s no reason to be an arse about it.
[4:12] tarr: JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL OF YOU WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME CUPIO THIS SHIT IS NOT OKAY
[4:15] Cupio_Dissolvi: Yes! It’s all going according to plan. Oxy is asleep, so we have time to discuss. Tarr seemingly remembers his expedition. ROOM_5 still managed to speak. For the skeptics, here is the proof that ROOM_5 was actually tarr, and was probably Ancient back then too. [Image Attachment: screenshot722.png]
[4:17] 10ne1: There’s nothing to prove here. You just came into MY thread and kept posting your creepypasta nobody asked for. You’re being extremely dismissive of others’ effort and feelings.
[4:17] tarr: EXPLAIN TO ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW OR I’M DRIVING UP TO YOUR PLACE AND PUTTING A STICK UP YOUR ASS UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK YOU DID TO ME
[4:17] treeisfun: yo what the fuck man?
cupio i told you to let that shit go for a while
you just shit up one’s thread
that’s pretty shitty of you
[4:17] karmIcCycles: Your entitlement knows no bounds.
[4:19] Cupio_Dissolvi: How can you think your fanciful drawings have more value than nothing short of a proof that images with the capacity to induce extremely strong transe-like states exist? We have the potential to revolutionize psychiatry. And for some reason, none of you want any part in it. I do not understand. Fame, wealth… It’s all here for us to grasp.
[4:19] karmIcCycles: So that’s what it was. Selfishness. You are no longer welcome here.
[4:20] tarr: WE DON’T FUCKING CARE YOU FUCKING DRUGGED ME OR SOMETHING I’M CALLING THE FUCKING COPS
[4:20] 10ne1: It’s the middle of the night. I suppose some of your insanity can be excused by fatigue. But it’s still really, really unacceptable. We can’t just tolerate this, Cupio.
[4:20] treeisfun: just drop it man
apologize and move on
you’re just being a dick now
this ain’t the cupio i know
[4:23] Cupio_Dissolvi: Very well. I see your cooperation is out of the question. I suppose I should take matters in my own hands. Expect social media to be interesting tomorrow. I might also rent a highway billboard with my savings, for good measure.
[4:23] treeisfun: YOU’RE NOT FUCKING DOING THAT MAN
[4:23] tarr: THAT’S IT I’M COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE RIGHT FUCKING NOW
[4:24] karmIcCycles: Please, for the love of everything holy. Don’t do what I think you’re about to do. People could die.
[4:25] 10ne1: I have no idea what the fuck is happening here. I’m leaving.
[4:28] Cupio_Dissolvi: Ah, but this is your fault. If you had shown a little bit more interest in my work, I wouldn’t have had to resort to such drastic measures.
And besides, I frankly think it’s a good idea. Put a million rats in a maze, and given enough time, one WILL find the way out. No matter how complicated that maze is.
Yes, there may be a little bit of damage. But I hope that what will be discovered at the end of this game will be worth the chaos.
[4:28] treeisfun: MY LUNCH BREAK IS FUCKING OVER
@Oxymoronic BEAT SOME SENSE INTO HIM
@Oxymoronic @Oxymoronic @Oxymoronic @Oxymoronic @Oxymoronic @Oxymoronic @Oxymoronic FUCKING HELP
[4:30] karmIcCycles: Remember how Oxy reacted. Thousands of people, their reality fractured, let loose in the world. They won’t figure out anything. It will be nothing else than a massive mess of accusations and misinformation.
[4:31] Cupio_Dissolvi: Eh. Omelettes and eggs. You know what they say.
Now, if you excuse me, I’m seriously about to lose consciousness from the exhaustion. I’ll go rest a little bit before starting my operation. Don’t bother replying.
And remember. This was your fault.
[6:00] Oxymoronic [Moderator]: …
And, of course, it’s up to me to untangle this mess.
Alright.
That's just what internet janitors like me do.
[6:00] System: Thread locked.
