im a hobbyist, and i hope to bring some secrets to light.

Hello!

This is an ARG. It takes place in an alternate version of New York, where something dangerous is brewing.

Any resemblance to real life events or people is purely coincidental.

Please take any inquiries to @codebreaker-mod .

In House of Leaves, Navidson spends huge chunks of the book stuck in his home, while in Homestuck, John leaves the house almost immediately. Really makes you think.

Time and Life

Work with time long enough and you’re bound to notice funny things. Nothing ever leaves the system; it just gets overwritten. When something never existed, it’s because something else took its place. But there’s always fragments left over, ways you can tell something’s gone different.

Everyone always thinks of wigglers as just young things. They really don’t take long to raise up and ship off to a lusus. But any auxiliatrix will tell you they can’t move between stages without help - eggs don’t hatch, wigglers don’t cocoon, kids don’t pupate. If you left a cave for a decade with enough food inside, you’d come back and find those stupid little things exactly how you left them, no matter what. And it turns out when a wiggler gets lost in the Timehole, no one’s in there pushing them to grow up. So every once in a while, you’ll pull something out and just… know that it’s old.

And it’s kind of a funny thing, how it all plays together. You’d be going about your work and notice over the months something’s wrong. You’re doing your thing, same as normal, but you go to trade your brood at the Timehole and half the wigglers you pull out, you’ve seen before. You saw them a week ago. You saw them with someone else just yesterday. That stinky little face is burned into your mind forever, you’d know those horns in any context. It’s just the same kids again and again, twenty options or something like that, until maybe one day you’re just pulling your own trash and these same little guys again and again. But then all of a sudden, you grab someone new and they’re older than sin.

Did they get lost in the arteries of time for the year or so you’re sure they’ve been alive? Or did the whole trip pass in an instant, and they’d been hatched and abandoned that whole time? The wigglers never seem to know or care. I haven’t heard anyone published a book or a talk or whatever about their infant experience, because something about pupation scrambles your wigglerhood memories. So where do these ancient wigglers come from? Who’s unearthing them after so much time, then passing them on for anyone else to deal with?

I had one friend, always thinking about time ticking along under our feet, who thought these wigglers came from timelines that gave up on existing. The little ones, the variations that stretched out until they just didn’t matter anymore. But time never just ends. It feeds back into itself, and you can find it woven in if you just look hard enough. I don’t think that friend was all right all the time, but she sure had a point even when the details were wrong.

Not that it matters to me. Old babies grow up just fine and make just as much money on pupation. I don’t think anyone that doesn’t work in the brooding caverns even knows this stuff exists. I didn’t get rich teaching civilians after a lusus got to them, and I’m not about to start now. But it does make you wonder what it takes for something like this to happen in the first place.

glad to be able to read some more of The Island in the Bay. [x]

first thing I notice -- I happen to know that John 8:32 is the unofficial motto for the CIA. It's on their wall. This concept of "government men" is connected to the writing on the page that's here. Also, the page title itself - sqrt of truth - connects to the Bible verse itself. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free".

I'll look into the other verses tomorrow

GUYS. I THINK I FOUND A NEW ARG

today i saw a blazed post from @jadedresearcher on an infinite gender generator and there were some Funky Links so i've been going down various rabbit holes and all their connections are new blogs with stuff clearly attached to an arg

it's all surrounding a (presumably fictional) piece of lost media, a game called zampanio. there appears to be VERY little engagement with it so far and all the posts are new, so i'm posting this to put out a call for any fellow arg fans to get on this with meeee

[mysteries-uncovered]

you found Vik! :)

yep! are they related to the vik from the zampanio typing game?
