– Was everything in this call from Mason to Kasch real? Some of it has been confirmed by Noah. Is all of it true?
– Was this a real encounter between Mason and the OSDM? If so…what was in the box? A phone? What did A say to Mason that persuaded him so quickly to back off?

Here’s the full transcript of Mason’s first appearance on Slack, back on August 25.

Hello everyone, first off, I wanted to introduce myself, my name is Mason, and I am collecting information for a report that is being constructed on ‘ethics’ in theater and entertainment.
Allow me to preface this – I am not here to pry sensitive information out…[Read more]

This may be a dumb question, but –

Is the MSE an OSDM event, or is it a System event designed to prepare us for the year-long OSDM event to come?

Reasons I ask:
– Noah said, “the things I am going to expose, the truth about us that you are going to see…” Not them. Us. At the MSE?
– Noah said, “designed this event to prepare you for…” What…[Read more]

@sfire8 Credit to you and Kevin for pointing out the similarities on Slack a while back!

Another question – when we FIRST met Noah, was he still under his father’s thumb? Was he genuinely spiraling? @lilmsfancpants recalled their meeting in the park in another thread. Was this an actual stage of escaping his father?

Noah said to us, “I know that I can’t keep you from my father. I had trouble getting out myself. At least alive, a…[Read more]

A few more questions –

– A few days ago, someone posted an image on Lust’s FB that was immediately deleted. A then told us, “Today’s message was not for you. You no longer matter. He lets this charade continue as long as you do not threaten him. Keep it this way and continue to spin your tales that mean nothing.” Who was running the A a…[Read more]

The image that was deleted, that wasn’t meant for us:

It bears a similarity to the image Noah and Meghan overturned in the warehouse:

Thinking about it, and there are a few more –

– Is Otis in trouble? He was with Joyce, calling himself “John” and talking about his fear of the coming darkness. If he was with Joyce, I’d hope that would mean he was on her team – the System team that was acting, that was putting on a show. But I fear it may not be as simple as that.…[Read more]

Transcript of the video:

Noah, in a suit. Behind him, from left to right, Joyce, Morgan, Mason, and Michelle.

(exaggerated voice) What?! Are you serious? No way!

(normal voice) Yes way. Way indeed. Mason and I, we’ve been buds for a long time, we go way back. There’s no way that you can have a childhood like ours and not develop a, uh, cer…[Read more]

Open questions –

– Is The Lust Experience something that is run by The System, or is it run by the OSDM as originally thought? Are these OSDM forums? System forums? I’m inclined to think the Experience is still largely run by the OSDM, since Investors have posted on the forums. But if that’s the case, why have they allowed rebels to take up…[Read more]

@bcbishop – Just to be clear, my comment about your OSDM allegiance separating you from the pack wasn’t intended as condemnation. I just felt hesitant buying the idea that “now we’re all on the same team”. My point was that there are still sides, and there is still room for some of us to turn on each other; and between you and anyone Team Sabrina…[Read more]

And is “Team Sabrina” still a thing? Because from everything we’ve seen, it doesn’t seem like she’d be on the side of the rebels either.

I love that all our favorite smartasses are dismantling the same thing.

“There are no sides” still seems like a bit of simplification to me, though. Bryan seems to be on his own island.

Here are the five references to “IT” from the XXX crew:

PUT IT right in front of the computer baby!

Give IT to me in front of a computer..

Join us and find IT right now in front of YOUR computer.

Find IT right now in front of your computer for free!

Stick it in, pull it out, stick it in pull it out. IT work can be sooooo tiring. I need…

Look who’s back…and he’s got company.

Another bit of supplemental info:

After meeting with Brad, but before contacting Bryan about this meeting, Cristen Periscoped and told us, “The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.” Her Periscope can be found here.

Later that morning, the quote she had shared was featured on Lust’s daily Facebook painting.

On Slack, she said the…[Read more]

Ahh, that makes sense (although didn’t they only meet for milkshakes once? Otis references “taking him out for another milkshake”)

(…unless that second milkshake meeting was kept a secret?)

Regardless, though, it seems to point to real information about the retreats being leaked with the intention of working people up…

I wonder if this recording of Erika sheds any light on Otis’s FB status a while back. Otis said,

“I’m still not so sure why the hell I am supposed to drop all those lines about all that fruity shit you had us do in the rites room though. I’m not even sure mr tattoo will believe me anymore either, he thinks I’m some kind of soft serve vanilla ice…[Read more]

For context, here’s the timeline of Timothy Granik’s activity where it overlaps with “Mason” activity.

September 12-13 – Mason “takes over” the Facebook and @a accounts

September 19 – Timothy Granik instructs Otis to reactivate his Facebook account; it is also suggested in the post that Granik has been having Otis deliver messages to “Mr Tattoo”…[Read more]

On Slack, we’re speculating on whether Granik = Mason, and whether Granik/Mason = JustLurking.

Just before the leak, JustLurking posted:

Are we awake?
meow meow meow
meow meow meow

(At this point, Mike G told him to take his cat noises to Random.)

sigh
it most certainly is not
A durpah durpah songs up! meow meow meow
