*It's been a day since Jake arrived to Equestria, and he's decided to take up residence on a public bench until he can go home. Which means waiting until those super important ponies currently dealing with issues in Manehattan return. Since then, Jake has been writing in a notebook he accidentally brought with him as a journal of his own. He's v​ery thankful that some ponies were kind enough to give him some food (which he sorted through and genuinely had to give certain pieces back. Seems like humans can't eat flowers​). But will he finish working on his situation?​*

(You know the drill, any characters are allowed)

*From the previous events, the creature, who is apparently named "Jake" (what a boring name, I know) and called a "human," has set his sights on returning home to whatever strange world he came from. In order to do so, he has decided to wait until the Elements of Harmony return from their trip to Manehattan. While he waits for them to return, he's decided to go looking for jobs to do and make cash on it.*

Finally, a chance to make another update again!

It's been a year since I last posted, I know. Training's gotten super vigorous over the last few weeks, I've barely had any time to do anything outside of it. Again, can't say I'm surprised. But frankly, I'm grateful for it. I desperately needed to get in shape anyways. Plus, the Fearless are actually really cool.

I'd be willing to answer questions about life here if ya'll want

Mike here again. I know I've been gone for a very long while, I've been training a lot with the Fearless, and it's hard ​work. Besides that, though, nothing's happened all that much. How've you all been?

(OOC: ​To Mike, it's been a month. It's actually been 2 days)

So I regret making that post when Mike noclipped through his bed and every event beyond that. So I'm just gonna pretend none of that ever happened and move on from where Mike will be at, which is on level 139, with the Fearless. We cool with that?

To whoever's ​reading this​, my name's Tom, and I'm a resident of level 11. I think it's best I start from the beginning.

Shortly after I went to get food from takeout, I noticed a weird-looking dude starin at me. Basic as hell clothes, but his face was censored. After I noticed him, he vanished. From there, he kept reappearing and disappearing, getting closet each time, until he was within arm's reach, where he grabbed my shoulder and I suddenly noclipped to a level I've never heard of before

It was some sort of infinite series of brick fractals, 3 sets of them stacked on top of one another, and no bottom floor. I tried to get a closer look at the bottom but I ended up falling, to what I presume is another level.

From there, I fell into a grassy plain with perfectly spaced apple trees, which are filled with almond water I guess, which ain't so bad. In any case, I kept hearing footsteps behind me every once in awhile, but there was nothing there, and I know I was alone. Or was I? Now I'm not quite sure...

Anyways, I then made it to another level from some small farm cropping thing, which led me to an infinite field of wheat with the occasional building every once in awhile. It was getting really late by then (at least, for me), so I ended up talking the chance when I saw a bed to sleep.

When I woke up this morning, I was on the ground in a wooden warehouse, directly in the middle of a pool of blood, and there was the phone I'm using to send this post.

If anyone could help me, that'd be nice.

I need help right now, I am heavily injured and on an undocumented level, some sort of wooden warehouse, and I was attacked by a humanoid creature made entirely out of eyes, it vanished immediately after.

Eurvos, I just want you to know this, my final message. You were like the father I never had. Thank you, for everything

Signing off for good

-Michael Harrington

Mike here. After I found myself in wherever that infinite tree level thing was, I eventually found a small, barebones stone house, covered with moss. When I entered, I immediately noclipped into some maze made of the same stuff. I wandered around for a bit and saw this tall, weird looking thing. I tried to get a better look but it disappeared before I could. I also found out there's another floor to this place, through some hole in the floor of one room. I eventually tried to noclip, which failed and apparently made that thing angry. Made some ear-piercing shriek and started trying to kill me. I lost it, but haven't found any way out yet. I also haven't found any food or drinkable water, almond or not, but I'm stocked up anyways, so I should be fine for now.

Either way, I do require assistance. Anything would be nice

Mike here. So, I woke up this morning, and found myself lying on bricks. And when I got up, I find that I'm in a level that's this infinite expanse of hollowed-out brick cubes that only goes so far down and up. I ended up falling off and down past that level, but I suspect I'm now in another level, a completely flat field with trees perfectly spaced, all apple ones. The apples are filled with almond water, at least. But still, I have no idea where I am. I tried noclipping a few times but nothing happened besides me getting rammed into a tree. And I swear I keep hearing footsteps when there's nothing there, and I've been drinking almond water pretty regularly.

Also, Eurvos, you don't have to tell me to get back to more familiar territory, I'm already trying to do that anyways.

Remember me? Your good old pal Carlton? Yep, I've ​gotten ahold of my own phone and can now look at all your little posts! It's hilarious watching you guys struggle with all my pals on those other levels, so much better than cable!

You know, since my best pal and teeeeeechniiically my brother Mike decided to throw an AMA into his last post, I thought it would be a fun idea to let you guys ask me questions, and I might answer them! Let's see what you guys come up with!

I just decided to make an entry because I felt like it. And tbh, I like the Level 139 life. Free food, water, almond water, and people to talk to as well. They're mostly chill, nothing much to say about em. Training looks like the most exhausting part (I haven't gotten to participate yet because I'm still recovering), but frankly, it's exactly why I'm here, anyways. To train myself for what lies ahead on the road.

Eh, nothing much else, just a status check for ya'll. Hell, feel free to ask me questions like this is some AMA or something, I'm genuinely curious

Yes, I'm alive, don't you guys worry. That Hive thing, "Carlton", I still suspect it was a part of me my whole life somehow (I may never figure out why or how that happened). At least it's removed from me. I plan on tracking it down and finishing the job.

I'm currently on Level 139, my injuries being tended to by the Fearless. I'm gonna take the chance to ask The Warrior herself the questions I've had up until this point. I'll keep you guys posted

*So, well, there's no way to say it than to just say it. There's a weird, ​mostly hairless(?)​, bipedal creature lying unconscious outside of the gates of the Castle of Friendship. It also seems to have a terrible sense of fashion​*

(Yes, it's a human who's been magically thrown into Equestria, how could you tell? Anyways, characters, uhhh go nuts ig​​)

Today is a sunny day, though a boring one at that in the Castle of Friendship. Twilight is just going about her business (anypony would presume) when somepony begins frantically knocking on the door. Maybe today won't be so boring?

As everypony knows, the Everfree Forest is well-known for being one of the scariest places in all of Equestria. The weather is unpredictable, the plants grow out of control, and the animals take care of themselves. Already terrifying on its own, and everypony knows it.

So imagine when a resident of ponyville comes galloping from the place with his tail between his hind legs, screaming about a "mostly ​invisible creature​" lurking within, the only indication of its presence being its glowing face from within the darkness, a constant smile full of sharp teeth and eyes that pierce the very soul! The poor stallion is simply paralyzed with fear, and no pony who's talked to him so far knows what to do at this point. One pony has decided to fetch Twilight, hoping she would know how to handle this...

(I've got my characters prepared and ready to go. I'm not even gonna think about trying to RP as canon characters, tho, that's up to you​. I do kind of want Twilight and Fluttershy here, especially Fluttershy, though, but everyone's allowed!)

Recently, I've been made aware of the Hive, which seems to be a hivemind of certain entities in the Backrooms. In addition, somehow I've been a part of it for as long as I can remember. However, the entities are using my sight against me. I'm sorry

Follow-... Nah who am I kidding, nobody cares about formalities anymore! I'm with them now! The Hive is super cool! I always knew I had a spacial connection to them! They even gave me a new look! It's awesome! Oh man I'm hungry now... You guys should come to level 276, it's the best over here!

In the meantime, I'm heading to Level 139! I never got those answers, and I still kind of need them! Euros, tell Blanche I said hi, will ya?​

After I accidentally made it to paradise, (wow, that text-altering effect is really powerful) N1k0 saved me and we got to level 15, and we've been resting here ever since. Or, at least, me and Bendy have. I haven't seen N1k0 in a while, but I'm sure they can take care of themself.

Anyways, though, I had a strange dream that I can recall perfectly. Idk if anyone's a dream expert, but I'll describe the dream here.

I was floating in the Blue Channel (idk what that is, all I know is the name of the place), and there was a voice. Below me were hundreds of levels, many of which were in a state of decay. I heard a voice telling me levels that I could "save" (I remember every one of them, and don't ask me what any of this means. In fact, I'm asking you guys what it means). And then I felt a presence overshadow the entire place. "TH3 SH4DY GR3Y," I keep getting every time I think about it. And then I woke up. I also keep getting a feeling that I can do so from this level somehow, but I'm not sure how to

If anyone has any idea what any of it means, I'd love to hear your thoughts

EDIT: How does one disconnect themself from "The Hive?"

Follow-Update 2: The entities are using what I know to their advantage.

So, I fell through a manhole into what I presume was supposed to be level 34, and into the water. Now I'm in some run-down basement flooded ​with almond water. Bendy isn't with me, I think he's still on level 11. I'm alright, though, I'm currently in a secure hiding spot trying to find what level this is​

UPDATE: I think I found Paradise. It's beautiful. Ok who is editing my post?! It is serene

Also, I'm seeing my friends, all in the grass. They're waiting for me to join them​ ​I'm just gonna stop and let you guys figure this out
