On November 8, 2010, this video was posted on Jadusable's
YouTube channel. The only content is a black screen with the text, "No
one came." The video is set to the sounds of someone drowning.

I was.. a sacrifice? I understand now.
There was nothing you could have done for me.
I do not know if this will be true for those that come after.
goodbye
Ryukaki's final video is by far his most odd one. In addition to the live action he's known for at this point, there are several stills that just seem out of place compared to what he's done before. And maybe that's the point.
Ryukaki reveals a dark secret and attempts to hint something important to his viewers.
Here's an odd one. The whole video is focused on a mirrored, ciphered URL that leads to Ryukaki's now-locked MediaFire account. We never get to see Thomas, the guy he's talking to.
Ryukaki bids a final farewell to a friend and gives the viewers some secrets.

Description: I started running again after some sounds in the first video, apparently
the camera got shut off. You can hear the dogs in the first video
pretty clearly.
This was taken roughly an hour after the first. All important details are in the video.
Wish
me luck everyone. I'm going to try and find somewhere safe to go over
the schoolyard footage. I know a friend who should be able to help.
From this video, we derive one of the community's longest-lasting memes: Ryukaki's stolen bike. When he says that his phone is stolen, it's worded weirdly enough that it's almost universally thought that he says that his bike is stolen. However, his bike is right behind him..
After some dogs chase off the pursuing entity, Kayd takes a short break and records this message.

Description: I got a call on the way back from school. I tried to attend class today,
but I couldn't really focus. I kept hearing that music.
This is
being uploaded from an anonymous location using a swap-out SD card that
I will throw away after this upload, to be sure BEN cannot infect my
camera and change what you are seeing.
I still have a lot of footage from at the school to go over.
I'll be in touch.
I still find it odd that most of Ryukaki's videos were released during the same day. By this point in the day, he'd already published two, and here he is in the woods. Dedication.

Description: The song keeps playing. It's been this way for hours now. I can
let it ring, but he calls back. When I answer it, the music. It's just
the music in an endless loop until I hang up. I want this to stop. I think I can hear it even when my phone is turned off and I'm laying in bed.
The second part of Ryukaki's side story is a pretty short one, and there really isn't much to say about it. Oddly, he begins to misidentify the song in the tags of his videos here.
A mysterious caller begins messing with him. Who could it be?

Description: A few notes: Upon reviewing this footage, I noticed two bright
lights in my livingroom. There are no lights or sources of illumination
there that I know of. I do not know what was making those. I am uploading this right now because I have been hearing the
sounds from outside-- they sound like they're inside now, but there's
nothing in here. My doors are all locked and windows shut. I feel a foreboding presence all around me, though. I'm going
to call a friend in the morning to come over and spend the day with me. I will keep you all updated.
This is the first video posted by Ryukaki, shortly after youshouldnthavedonethat.net was abandoned by the Moon Children. This portion of the story is controversial, but that is a conversation for another day.
Kayd Hendricks wakes up and begins recording what would turn out to be an eventful day.
On September 20, 2010, most likely in response to the Sonata of Awakening played by Cerxi, Jadusable's YouTube channel uploaded this video, which depicts Dark Link's slow departure from the Temple of Time.
Editor's note: Shortly after the ARG was paused for the first time, hours after it was posted, huntyoudown.wmv was removed from Jadusable's channel. MFGreth managed to mirror it, and it is hosted on his channel.
Cerxi's video was posted with little context, but its effect was less than favorable.
Editor's note: Cerxi deleted the video in 2014. In order to preserve it, I have consulted him and recreated it as closely as I could. It is now hosted on my channel.
On September 20, 2010, in response to MFGreth's second video response in
which he attempts to revive Alex with a fairy, the Game Over screen's "Yes" option is selected.
