Miles said they would use flashbacks and such to help further develop the characters. So, don't go on banging your heads too hard on the wall trying to guess how Daniel inserted these clips in his vlog, because that is not a vlog anymore. I guess you'll have to get used to it from now on. The only relevant question at this point in the development of the series is what the Creators are trying to tell us about the character by inserting flashbacks.

Ah! My poor, poor suspension of disbelief. It's... It's dying! XD

Uh, despite the fact that this is flashback, I'm just going to pretend he used stock footage so I don't stop watching.

It might be just fanfic

I hope not.

What's the account it came from? The URL says "HymnofOne." Is that it?

robtomorrow · Post by **robtomorrow** » Tue May 22, 2007 8:32 pm

Yes I did a search for HymnofOne and I got this album.

Holy crap.

The "Nugginfutz" name leads me to lean heavily toward thinking that this is fanfic, but one never knows.

I think it's cool they are adding "flashbacks." It would be interesting to see some of Jonas's past, especially. Maybe there'd be some clues to his parents' disappearance/resistance. Also Bree, since we know so little about her past except what she tells us (not much).

Maybe they'll cast a little girl to play younger Bree! omg so cute.
They could show her playing with Gemma's dog in England.
OMG WE CAN SEE LITTLE GEMMA.

The possibilities are endless...

BTW, in case people here haven't noticed, down in Beast Chat Daniel posted a copy of the note from Bree's dad. FINALLY we get to see what it said! All you puzzle-solvers better get your butts down there and start working on it.

0196 P. Monkey Returns... Again
*Daniel's in front of the camera in the study*
Daniel: Jonas isn't talking. I'm doing all the work here, trying to come up with a plan, and he's just got himself locked up in the bathroom. When he went in there, he said it was just to do number one...

*we see Jonas walking away from the foosball table and moving toward the bathroom, distraught; Daniel's voice is heard edited over this footage*

Daniel: ...but that turned into taking a shower, and then into drying his hair. Thing is, though, I never heard water running or a hair dryer.

*cut back to Daniel*

Daniel: It didn't take me long to figure out that he was pulling a Bree. Uh... not the kind where you tie people up and scream at them for two days. Anyway, I've tried everything to get him to come out...

*we see Daniel with P. Monkey on one hand and a bowl of chocolates in the other standing outside the bathroom door; Jonas' eyes can just barely be seen peeking out from the under the door*

Daniel (in P. Monkey's voice): Come on out, honeh. I got some chocolates for you. Come on, babeh. Cheer up, yo.

*cut back to Daniel*

Daniel: ...but it doesn't seem to be working. Man, this sucks. I'm trying to come up with a plan to get Bree back, and Jonas is just... ugh! I don't know what I'm going to do.

*cut back to outside the bathroom door; P. Monkey is on Jonas' skateboard; the foosball table has now been pulled up close to the bathroom*

Daniel (in P. Monkey's voice): Come on, babeh! I'll do a kickflip mctwist for you!

*cut back to Daniel*

Daniel: This really sucks. And I really have to go piss. Like bad.

*final quick cut to P. Monkey beating his head against the skateboard*

OMG
so freakin funny
thanks babeh.

There's a puzzle in that?

I guess they are working on checking off some of the loose ends, that must of been an easy one, the only question is why they left it a mystery so long.

WriterGirl wrote:I agree that this video seems like filler or staller, but it was still great. Yousef did a fantastic job, and I felt so bad for Daniel. And I thought the footage of the little boy and girl running aroound was a great touch. It reminded me of how Bree and Daniel used to be.

Inigo wrote:A girl claiming she saw Bree is trying to get ahold of Daniel in the in-character discussion forum.
Are we sure this is canon, though? Is it possible Jessica is in New York for an entirely unrelated reason and this person is just misunderstanding?

It could also be someone lying for attention.

I really hope she's canon, though. I like her hair.

Lurker · Post by **Lurker** » Tue May 22, 2007 10:34 pm

I wouldn't call it "lying" per se. That's the in-character section, after all. We can't exactly call fanfiction creators liars.

WriterGirl · Post by **WriterGirl** » Tue May 22, 2007 11:12 pm

Thanks, btw, Inigo, for answering. I haven't read that thread yet. I'll track it down soon.

Those are very interesting, Rob. Thanks for the links. Two things jumped out at me from the 1984 letter: http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z43/ ... 165600.png.

"The Anchor Cove scientific community"

"I just don't feel right about not raising my daughter Lucy in the church..."

I'm sure the Lucy one isn't a big surprise to anyone (that she was raised in the Hymn of One, I mean), but the Anchor Cove usage surprised me. I know "The Children of Anchor Cove" was the working name used in the CraigsList casting ads, but have we heard it in the actual canon before?

I don't know if it's fanfic. I'm going to hold judgement until we know more about it.
