Spooky Month Lore! AGAIN!
Oh yeah, we're doing this again. For those not in the know, last year I did a basic summary of an ARG that was taking place last spooky month. And this year? I'm doing it again! So, strap in folks, because it's more complicated than last time. And like last time, spoilers for Spooky Month 5.
Alright, so at 3:48 on the last Spooky Month, the TV static hid a familiar looking pattern.
Tumblr media
Here we go again. Scanning this code brings you to this image.
Tumblr media
Now this image is blurry as all hell, so to change that you got to look at the URL and see that it's a '.webp' image. changing the URL so that it ends in '.jpg' gives us a clearer view.
Tumblr media
Aright, we got three links to go to and one incomplete imgur link. For now, let's focus on the patient file. Typing that URL in gives us this.
Tumblr media
Now, if you look back at the TV image you see 'Patient #__'. So, it seems that the patient is '#RN'. But then what's the deal with '5f6-7s2'? Well, here's the thing. If you google 'RN 5f6 7s2', the first few results show that it's connected to the chemical 'Plutonium' or the abbreviated version 'Pu', giving us our current answer 'Patient #Pu'.
Tumblr media
But that isn't the final answer. I'll explain in a bit, but for now let's go back to the tv image and type in the imgur link for the picture frame.
Tumblr media
Now as it turns out, SrPelo tweeted out that the font for the image was a bit confusing and led to people not being able to get into the image. He corrected it on twitter, but incase that tweet gets deleted, here is the link.

Tumblr media
Amazin. Now when I first saw and messed around with this image, I think I got the wrong message out of it. Changing the light values of this image took out some letters in a peculiar way.
Tumblr media
YOU ARE ERY N
Now, I was on the right track, but I thought that this was like, a name reveal for Skid, with his name being Eryn. Maybe that was intentional, but that wasn't the main thing I was supposed to take out of this. Changing the values in a different way gave me this.
Tumblr media
As you see, the letters that disappeared: E, V, T, H, I, G. They all had a different color compared to the rest of the text. But even within the disappeared letters, the letter V stands out as being a slightly different color. But where does that take us? Let's go back to the TV image and focus on the picture frame.
Tumblr media
"#_lowcase". This implies that we are looking for a number and a lowercase letter. Taking the letters and rearranging them gives us:
'E, I, G, H, T, V". The number 8, and the letter V.
And putting that in the format that the phrase is demanding, we get '8v'. So, the solution to the picture frame imgur is '8v'.
Tumblr media
One more link, and it's a YouTube link. punching that in gives us a security cam video.
Security_Camera_VIDEO_131518190503150405 - YouTube
Now if you watch the video, the security light in the bottom right goes bonkers around halfway thru. This is morse code. I'm not going to show you the beeps and bops as I don't have it off the top of my head, but all you need to know is that it translated to something like this.
"B . U P C A S E C . Y "
There was more that it translated to, but it was kind of random compared to what we have here. Assuming that the periods indicate a new letter, turning that phrase into a three-digit input gives us this.
'bCy' And that's what we take away from that video. Back to the TV image!
Tumblr media
We are now going to try and construct that imgur link on the red book. Seeing that # sign on the 6th digit gives us a clue that '8v' are the last two digits, as 8 is the only number that can fill that numbered slot. But where does that put 'Pu' and 'bCy'? Well, to figure that out, let's look one more time at the patient file.
Tumblr media
See that undercase p at the very beginning of 'pATIENT', a seven letter word? Seven letters... Seven needed imgur digits... That lowercase p not only indicates that 'Pu' goes first, but it also says that the P needs to be lowercase. And that only leaves one place where 'bCy' can go.
Tumblr media
Plugging this link in gives us this.
Tumblr media
Oh god,
LATIN.
Don't worry, you don't need to translate it, we're only working with individual letters. Though, to be completely honest, I'm not sure how well I'm going to be able to explain this. But I'm going to try my damned hardest!
okay, so...
Tumblr media
I circled 9 different looking red symbols. The bottom right one is hard to see, but if you zoom in enough, you'll see. Some symbols have just dots, one of them has just a line, and some of them have dots and a line.
This is a numbering system.
Tumblr media
Maya numerals to be exact. Basically, if you have a horizontal line, add 5 to the number of dots that are above it. We have numbers 1 - 9 here. The exact number of digits that are missing from the YouTube URL at the top of the image. So, presumably, if we had each digit that each numeral related to, we could fill in the YouTube URL in the numeral's order! But what does each numeral correspond to? Let's get the easier ones out of the way.
Tumblr media
We have 4 numerals that are directly correlated with a digit. 5 is right underneath an uppercase K. 6 is underneath an uppercase V that was edited to make it an uppercase W instead. Same with 9 but lowercase. And 7 is correlated with a lowercase z. So right now, we have this for our YouTube URL.
____62KWz_w
Great start!
...But now what? The rest of the numerals are floating in dead space with no obvious correlation to a specific letter, and it would take forever to try and brute force it. So, what do we do? I now take your attention to the key to this entire puzzle.
Tumblr media
A melting candle. Looking into the melting wax, do you see what seems to be drops of red surrounding what appears to be a red circle? Here's what you have to do. By taking a low opacity version of this pic and overlaying it so that each of the remaining numerals sit inside the red circle, we would see that at least one of the drops of red overlays on top of certain letters, correlating a letter to its numeral value. 5 red drops, 5 remaining numerals. Here's what it would look like when it's done.
Tumblr media
(Btw, I was in a spooky month ARG discord server when I was trying to figure this out, and it turned out I was the first person to get the URL correctly! This is the image that I shared with the people there. We wouldn't have been able to do it if we weren't all in the same server sharing our different strategies for this puzzle, so shout out to all of them!)
Reconstructing the URL with the values that we got, with the numerals giving us order, gave us this video.
youtube
Spooky. Taking that audio and putting through a spectrogram gives you this.
Tumblr media
However, if you listen closer to the audio, there is more morse code. Translating that code into words, and thus the final answer to this ARG gives you this.
"DON'T HIDE IN THE DARKNESS JOIN WITHIN MY BRIGHTNESS FOR THE VESSEL HAS ROTTEN YOU WILL BE NOT FORGOTTEN"
And that's the end of the ARG! The last ARG had a result similar to this, with a rhyming passage to finish it off. So, it's safe to assume that at the end of all the Spooky Month ARGs we will have a completed poem through all the rhyming passages.
That'll be cool to figure out, but until next time. Stay spooky!

New image from the link on the picture!
Tumblr media
So, I was messing around with this image in a photo editing software, and upon changing the light values of this image, it made a few specific letters stand out from the picture.
Tumblr media
YOU ARE ERY N
Or, what I think it's trying to say:
YOU ARE ERYN
Now, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but assuming that the phrase "YOU ARE EVERYTHING" is referring to Skid in the original image, then we might safety assume that this phrase is also referring to Skid, which might mean that Eryn is his real name.
everything we鈥檝e solved from the ARG/QR code
kudos to RadiatedIdiot on twt for the images
by inverting the QR code you get this image
Tumblr media
by typing the link on the folder you get this image
Tumblr media
thats all i have right now but ill update this post when i find new stuff, feel free to add your own stuff too

Outfit Change
Ah yes. D e l t a r u n e. Ngl when that whole sweepstake website was hiding pieces of lore and future decisions, that was my day gone right there. Just every few minutes rechecking the website to see how far along people were in uncovering every bit of info that was hiding in the website.
One of those pieces of info was the trio in snazzy fits, which gave me a funny idea.
Tumblr media
I just imagine that every time they need to change outfits, they have to stop the entire fight and painstakingly change by hand, instead of their clothes just *poofing* into existence.
Also, Ralsei wears polka-dot underwear. Not that that's any of your business.

Spooky month lore
If you haven't saw the new spooky month episode yet, please watch it before continuing with this post, as we're talking about lore and crap.
For the people who have saw it, we're about to do some puzzle solving. Late in the episode you may have seen this screenshot.
Tumblr media
And if you were to put the qr code back together and scan it, it would've bought you to this image.
Tumblr media
There appears to be an incomplete imgur link at the top left with the word "HUE" there as well. I decided to put this image through a pic editing software and messed around with the Hue to see if anything stuck out, and sure enough something did. Changing the hue reveals dots within certain letters on these pages.
Tumblr media
Putting the letters in the right order based on the dots in each letter gave me the link to the next image, which was this.
Tumblr media
Another imgur link is needed in the top left, and to figure this one out, you needed morse code. combining numbers with their respective morse code translations gave me the code for the next imgur link.
Tumblr media
And when putting those characters into the imgur link, we get this image.
Tumblr media
A lore book with Latin text. Now I was willing to believe that this was the last image, until I looked at the first inital screenshot,
Tumblr media
and realized that there's four pages with images on them that correspond with the imgur links we were finding, and there's still one more page to find.
But this is where I'm officially stuck. One, cause I don't speak Latin, and two, even after translating it I can't find anything that would lead to another imgur link. There's seven paragraphs in this book, so it's possible that each paragraph corresponds to a character in an imgur link, but I'm not too sure.
If anyone has any clue, please let us know.

Nightly Sister Searching
Tumblr media
She knows she's probably not going to find anything, constantly going on the computer to find any trace of her sister. The first couple of nights of searching were just a frantic, crying, mess of a search. But now a days, it's just a quiet, dull, timid search that she performs night after night, and after so many of these nights she expects to find nothing.
So why does she do it? Maybe it's that lingering hope that one day, one search will come up with something, anything, that can give any info of where her sister is now. Or maybe she just got so used to the monotonous searching that if she stops, she'll loss a part of herself, whatever that part might be.
Whatever that reason is, she knows one thing for sure. She knows that this isn't the last time that she'll be on this computer searching for her lost sister. For better...
...or for worse.

Pibby nooooooooooo
College is fun. So fun in fact that it's distracting me from posting on here. Also I'm lazy, but that's harder to justify. So in the meantime, here's a preschool mascot getting mentally corrupted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You think after this whole corruption thing that Pibby would go through, that she would just go back to normal preschool teaching life? Because I don't believe she can. A preschool mascot with the mindset of a war veteran doesn't seem like they would mix very well...

New spooky month drawing, yay! Decided to use my own way of coloring them that I used the first time I drew them, as I still find it to be kinda pleasing to look at.
As for the content itself it鈥檚- uh...
it- it鈥檚 a bit...
Uhhh...
Tumblr media
...Yeah, don't ask. I don't know why either.
To be honest, this thing is just a bunch of random, relativity dark ideas; and instead of fleshing them out separately, I just decided to slam them together into one weird piece. Now I'm not entirely convinced that it works, or if these ideas even make sense together, but dang it I spent too long on this piece to not post it, so here we are.
Burning cars is more scary than spooky.

Ooooooo-! Animation of Pump going through his emo phase!
Tumblr media
This thing made me realize that animation isn't necessarily hard, just time consuming as all hell. Once you get past learning the animation program and the nitty gritty of it, it isn't too too hard to figure out what to do.
It just takes a long time... like-
A long long time.
I'm sure it'll take less and less time to do as I do more, but for now it's long a'clock everyone.

You know, outta all the drawing I posted on Twitter so far, this was the first one, and so far only one, that got over 100 likes.
Tumblr media
I'm not that surprised to be honest.
First time trying lineless art tho! Harder then it seems if you don't prepare for it in the lineart layer.

My Twitter, btw. Has other spooky month drawings and retweets along side just random likings of mine. Prolly going to upload the drawings on there to here as well tho.
Pretty much sfw, with the exception of one image that has a simplistic cartoon depiction of blood, but nothing real bad. You get warned ahead of time in the tweet.

First real time I tried drawing the boys. Wasn't the best with colors, so I just messed around with the colors until it looked cool enough to me, even if I don't think it was the most accurate; note Pump's reddish brownish hair and Skid's dark grayish blue hair.
Even though I later change the colors for future drawings of them, I kinda wanna try this color scheme again. I still think it looks kinda cool.
