Wow, this audio’s long! I mean, it is an entire interview compared to just snippets of character chat. So, grab a popcorn and some soda, and enjoy the listen.
Although I’m not as crazy on Alegander as most fans are, I do think he’s an interesting character! There’s something about a theatrically hammy guy who plays up the persona of being a mysterious villian who’s really just kind of A Guy™️ that makes for a really fun character. If Young Horses plans to revisit Bugsnax in the foreseeable future, I’m interested to see where they go with his character.
I’m not too sure if I’ve got the order correct. I uploaded the audio file as they were when I extracted them, but the wiki lists it based on when you encounter the tapes in the Triplicate Space. I’ll keep it as is for the sake of convenience.
Transcription under readmore. Not only to keep the post brief, but also spoilers for the Isle of BIGsnax DLC. You’ve been warned!
“Well… aren't you an intrepid little journalist, coming into this secret hideaway just to ask questions of the first stranger you see...?”
“Hmm… I do respect the pursuit of knowledge, and I have been down here for...way too long. Go ahead. Question me if you dare.”
“I am Alegander Jamfoot, junior archivist and crypto-snakological researcher. That is my passion, anyway. I am also... a part-time barista.”
“I was sent here by my organization to monitor this triangular relic. A position of honor, I was told, but I hold no illusions. This is a punishment.”
“This place is a temple of sorts, but even I don't understand its true purpose. The ones who built it are lost far beneath the ocean. The organization uses it as a break room.”
“We are the Snakolytes: Scholars and sailors descended from the remnants of Grumpbeard's final voyage. We are the keepers of Snaktooth's secrets. Protectors against the threat of Bugsnax until such a time that they can be... brought under our control.”
“[groans] We are NOT the Grumpinati! That's made-up movie nonsense! I mean, sometimes our actions are blamed on the Grumpinati, but we're a secret society, we can't just go around correcting everybody.”
“I have… made many foolish choices in my life. Foremost among them, a degree in library sciences. Look, there weren't many jobs out there, and I found an internship in a magazine ad. Unpaid, as it turns out. Welcome to the Snakolytes.”
“I've been watching your expedition with great interest. I don't get radio out here so, y’know, most entertainment I've had all year. I am afraid that Bronica Lottablog has gone somewhere that you should not follow.”
“In my time isolated here, I have learned more than any Snakolyte before me. With the secrets I have unlocked, the discovery of the Three Queens, I could rise to the upper echelons of the organization!”
“Yes, I will be well rewarded. Ideally with a weekly stipend. Or maybe even, um… healthcare? Even not having to pay membership dues would be... y'know, pretty good.”
“The first Queen was wrathful. When she awakened, she wreaked terrible vengeance on those who had sacrificed her to the Bugsnax.”
“The second Queen was benevolent. Through her guidance, the Bugsnax were pacified, and the Snaktooth Empire flourished for centuries. But as all empires do, it grew beyond her control.”
“The third Queen will be one of ours... hopefully. With her power, we will usher in an age of peace and prosperity. Ideally, before my student loans are due.”
“Well, wasn't that fun? I will be taking your recordings now. Oh, don't look so shocked. Surely, you understand I can't let any of this become public knowledge.”
“As for what happens to you... Well, I believe the Snakolytes could use someone with your investigative talents. And I, of course, could really use a recruitment bonus.”
I do have a soft spot for megamaki, who also was a point of interest during my time in the triplicate space.
She would swim by the glass, and for a brief moment I would think we have made eye contact, before she resumes her rhythmic movements once more. It was like she was dancing.
When I danced with her, she didn't notice.or simply didn't care for something as small as I.
Ah, that must be be redacted labeled with red. That is The Boss.
An orange redacted would be.... me, I suppose.
Moving on; I have spent a larger amount of time in the IT and other digital monitoring sectors of the building than I normally would. I believe taking more excursions outside of my normal working space would be very beneficial to my overall mental wellbeing.
It would also mean I would have a... larger chance of running into you should you arrive. You opinions on that?
That does sound like a very good thing for your mental health- Y'know, consider you were cooped up grump knows where for about 5 years, getting out more seems good for you!!
And OH!! That sounds lovely, actually! It would be nice to see you again... besides, it's been a while since we've caught up! It would be nice to talk in person, if only for a minute or two!!
..... also do you have any idea about how to actually apply??? It's been mentioned a bajillion times but nobody has actually told me how to and I'm too scared to ask-
That... sounds nice to me as well. It has no connection to my isolation.
:0)
To step in for a moment, greetings. I can be of assistance on the application front. You can message this blog (activity -> messages -> aleganderjamfoot) and have a mod to mod discussion about the snakolytes, the direction we'd like to head in, and what would actually happen should you become a member.... or you can create all of that by yourself, and let this mod build off of that without ever directly speaking. I've been informed it works well either way by the mod of this blog. The world is your oyster. You are allowed to make up whatever entrance you'd like.

I do not need formal therapy performed by a therapist. I am fine. This was decades ago, and I have developed coping mechanisms after the fact that do not impede my daily life.
[REDACTED] offers me counseling when needed, due to my contributions. I appreciate their help, but the days I need it are sparse as of now.
