#anwyas cant wait to see zam in even more abject misery 👍

omg thank you again! ^^

heres the edited version for easier reading:

text says:

By {redacted} Breaking news, Murderer and drug dealer Mapicc {redacted} has escaped from prison {redacted} a warrant has been put out for his arrest. Police say he escaped at 3:50 on the 3rd of September with the help of fellow inmate Roshambo {redacted} if any information is found please contact {redacted} Police suspect he broke out using a {redacted}

i think this proves my theory that the locked dropboxes are the ones with info where zam didnt know about it beforehand

something of note is the emphasis on the number 3 -- the breakout happened at 3:50 on the 3rd of september which is made up of 3s considering its the 9th month and 3 x 3 = 9 (although tbf its the month where this started and is likely done for syncing reasons as well) and this is on the post right after log #33 which has a :3 emoticon at the end

the first post on the snowsancuary blog also happened around 3 weeks before the bloody note happened -- specifically 24 days which is also the log number the blog started at (although mapicc broke out 4 weeks, specifically 28 days, before the bloody note)

just remembered timezones exist so i would like to say that i live in the gmt+8 timezone and for me the first snowsancuary post happened on september 7 while the bloody note happened on october 1, not sure what timezone snowsancuary happens in but im not sure if it matters all that much

rip walter: hidden text

original vs edited

the text says: "I Can See You through the window :)"

log 35: the only normal log so far without any drawings of any kind, the second log without any drawings if you count the bloody note which is log 34 (although it doesnt say its log 34)

log 36: tag says "he wants to help you" with zalgo text, "him" most likely refers to the same person in the red house post tag

walter note: link (be warned: animal death specifically drowning is detailed in the prose)

the link redirects to yet another prose called "Submerged Kid" -- overall it seems to be about walter's death, fitting considering the note it's attached to simply says walter and has a doodle of what can be assumed to be walter

at first it seems to refer to (what i assume to be) walter as "Kid" before the sequence of events that lead to his death and portrays him and someone referred to as "the man" to be happy, walter is then referred to as "kid" right as he was drowning, and then "goat" when he died

"the man" is described as having a smile that captured the sun and who sung like a bird but couldnt fly so i think its safe to assume that this refers to zam

it seems walter died on "a dark afternoon when the clouds still covered the moon" when the sun was "still dead on the horizon" (twilight maybe? or maybe not since it mentions the clock striking at 2?) while zam was deeply in a dreamless sleep and wouldnt wake up despite all of walters shrieking

it also has binary code at the end that links to this video which is posted on the account @/snow_sanctuary with a display name of "sanctuary" (the subscriber count doesnt mean anything, its me lol)

its a bit scary and loud so im gonna describe the video for those who dont wanna watch: the title is "cOLd", theres a still and darkened "deepfried" image of an upside down goat while faint text pops up occasionally, the audio has a constant noise that may possibly be a waterfall or perhaps a really strong current while something keeps shrieking

original vs edited

reverse image says its a boer goat which are meat breeds that can also be show breeds and the overall shape of the creature indicates to me that it's still a kid albeit an older one, theres also a blue streak in the corner which may indicate a body of water

text:

00:06: "Im SO cOLd" top right corner 00:07: "So COld" top left corner 00:14: "LeT mE In ITs cOLd" left middle and "LET ME IN ITS COLD" almost bottom right

initially i assumed these were walters thoughts but the "let me in" part made me second guess that notion and now im assuming its mapiccs (may be proven wrong we'll see)

equation note: flower + crown - symbol = house

each symbol can be found on a different log and converting them into their respective log numbers turns the equation into 32 + 28 - 33 = house = 27

editing log 27 doesnt really reveal much of anything so this is probably something to keep in mind for later rather than for right now

(10/11/2023): it seems the red house dropbox requires access permission now lol, unsure when exactly this happened but yeah

log 39: url that leads to the image below

editing doesnt seem to reveal anything, it's also the first dropbox picture to have an actual name "Little_Mesite"

noisy neighbors note: doesnt seem to have any secrets but talks about some noisy neighbors, may be important for later

snowsancuary evidence collection

some of these may not be as significant as the rest but whatever

warning for mild horror, mentions/implications of stalking, and scopophobia

header: link (can get a copy by replacing edit with copy)

header with brightness, saturation, and contrast turned up, doesn't seem like anything's hidden but maybe i did it wrong idk

actual doc has a prose in playfair display font that i will call the mesite poem, it has generally proper punctation with the exception of a few misspellings which im guessing are not intentional (unless they are?), strangely placed commas which im not sure are intentional or not (i dont read poems idk how they work lol), and a few strangely capitalized letters: R U E T H E D A Y M E S I T E (RUE THE DAY MESITE)

it references a few things from the castle arc such as a snow abode which is later referred to as a cage (zam's base, his safe space later turning into a hostile one), the bird singing to those it should not (zam talking and teaming with ppl dualityduo dont approve of or even actively hostile towards), the bird going out to eat bugs and worms then hiding in the dark (the eating is possibly(?) a reference to zam only ever killing ppl when he needs to/when he thinks theyre evil and then hiding away in his base for the rest of the time), the dog lifting the bird with its two bruised hands to its heart (could be a reference to ro and mapicc and team awesome but maybe im reaching), a feeling of freedom and confidence due to being flightless and therefore disadvantaged and having nothing to lose (zam losing like 14 hearts or something), the bird that starts fearing the dog that stalks outside its cage (mapicc literally stalking zam in mc and zam slowly getting increasingly paranoid each time)

it also specifically mentions the 30th (i didnt watch the streams and havent caught up with the vods yet so idk if thats referencing anything) amd a red house on the street

mesite according to wikipedia (made the interesting parts bold):

"The mesites (Mesitornithidae) are a family of birds that are part of a clade (Columbimorphae) that include Columbiformes and Pterocliformes. They are smallish flightless or near flightless birds endemic to Madagascar. They are the only family with more than two species in which every species is threatened (all three are listed as vulnerable).

"The mesites are forest and scrubland birds that feed on insects and seeds; brown and white-breasted mesites forage on the ground, gleaning insects from underneath leaves as well as low vegetation. The subdesert mesite uses its long bill to probe in the soil. Other birds, such as drongos and flycatchers, will follow mesites to catch any insects they flush out or miss. Mesites are vocal birds, with calls similar to a passerine song, used for territorial defence. Two or three white eggs are laid in a stick-built nest located in a bush or on a low branch. The Mesitornis species are monogamous while Monias benschi is polygamous and, unlike the other two, shows significant sexual dichromatism.

"Historically, mesites’ phylogenetic relationships were not very clear; they have been allied with the Gruiformes, Turniciformes and Columbiformes. Recent phylogenomic studies support Pterocliformes (sandgrouse) as the sister group of mesites while some more recent studies place this clade with another clade constituted of Columbiformes and Cuculiformes (cuckoos)."

mesite according to rankred.com:

"Brown Mesite is a flightless bird species found only in Madagascar’s humid evergreen forests. The Brown Mesite is classified as a vulnerable species. Due to its preference to remain in low altitude regions of the forest, where dogs and other common predators are widespread, they are an easy target to prey upon. Loss of habitat is also a major factor for their declining population."

bio: binary code

[01001111 01100011 01110100 01101111 01100010 01100101 01110010] translates to [october]

log 24: weird smiley

the fact that this is the first log implies that the first 23 logs were writtenon the walls which i would honestly like to see

log 25: morse code

[- …. . .-. . … / … --- -- . - …. .. -. --. / -- .. … … .. -. --.] translates to [theres something missing]

the tag before it says [i cant put my finger on it.], idk if tag order was intentional or not, probs doesnt matter either way lol

log 27: cheating scandal

idk just thought it was something to take note of for later

log 28: crown

the only log so far with the crown symbol

could just be because of the competition

log 29: only one with 1 dot at the title rather than 2

milk post: red, first evidence of stalking

log 31: binary code

leads to this link which leads to this picture (poated for those who cant access it):

original vs edited

no idea what the text behind says, interesting that this is specifically on the log that mentions getting robbed and "him"

to watch post: purple, idk theres just something weird about it

the fact its not a log and the fact that zam seems irritated in the drawing means theres a non-zero cahmce he didnt write it
