Just finished the backrooms movie

Journal Entry #6;

"No.... no I left. I left The Ark. I left The Ark, I even went and went to see him, and passed by Rake, and met up with Damien, and.... And I talked to them, we had a conversation, he told me the recent news and everything, I wasn't in The Ark. I left The Ark

I wasn't in The Ark. I left The Ark. I left.

I went out the door and closed it back up. I left The Ark."

Journal Entry #5.5;

"He has found out some new information about The Ark. He does not like it.

It turns out ██████████ has had access to it. I don't know how this may affect my research in the long term, but currently I am allowed to proceed as normal. He is still figuring out how to deal with this newfound breach. I, however, have been told if I see any being, ██████████ or not, in The Ark I need to report it and leave the place immediately."

Maybe the creature wants a friend? -🔪

"As much as that may seem like a likely possibility we (as in at least Jack and me) have been strictly told we are not allowed to bring in another being into The Ark. We are also told we should not touch the creature.

These rules were drilled into me more than I heard they were for Jack.

Currently I do not think I, myself, 'befriending' it is the best idea either, even from afar. As we've seen previously it gets 'enjoyment' from effecting us mentally, and I still need to do my research. He will not like it if he has to get a new employee if this creature breaks me down, nor would he like it if he has to get a new employee because our 'friendship' disturbs how it acts naturally. Perhaps in the future, when I get enough notes to understand this thing the best I can, I could attempt to bond with it, but for now I'm not quite sure."

Go towards the light

Journal Entry #5;

"I tried. I waited for the creature's line of sight to not include the tunnel before I took my journey in.

Despite it looking relativity short it stretched on, despite how much I walked (and ran) further into it, the distance between me and the light stayed the same.

If you couldn't tell by its inclusion in this picture, the creature did spot me, and it managed to catch up to me extremely quickly (especially when compared to how long I had been moving). Despite how close it does look here it did stay a couple feet away from me; we never touched. It did appear to be happy (?) that I was back, though based off of what we've seen previously I do not think it was happy for good reasons.

Nothing else very eventful or noteworthy for today."

Journal Entry #4;

"When I entered earlier this day it did catch me off guard with the change of environment it seemed to create while I was gone.

Besides what is clear in my photo there was other half-built buildings (although they didn't look as if they were in progress, but moreso as if done by memory and details were missing). I do not know if these were created out of it's own imagination or if its going off of mine/others memories.

It took longer than usual to fine the creature itself, but I did eventually find it in a tunnel structure. It appears to be in a flat ball like shape. Despite my not so great attempt at hiding (I wasn't exactly thinking of being careful while just trying to roughly location the thing), it didn't appear to spot me, or acknowledge any movement sounds, so currently I am under the assumption it can sleep and that is what it was doing."

(NON CANON)

"today marks the birthday of Alex Kralie, someone who to my knowledge has relations with The Slenderman. For obvious reasons I cannot celebrate that with him so I am giving a slice of cake to the creature. It seems to enjoy it"

Journal Entry #3;

"Like I said I would before I moved the door, and this led to something I found fascinating; it was waiting at the tree for me. It was in roughly the same form it was the previous time.

I watched it for a solid 10 minutes, in which the creature visibly got frustrated/impatient. So it not only has the ability to understand some sort of time in this dayless space, but it also can formulate emotions on its own. The previous researcher, or well Jack, had assumed it could at least feel some sort of joy (as they could not see any other reason for why it kept 'tormenting' them) but I got to witness true evidence it has (at least negative) emotions.

I am also proud to say the creature did not spot me this time, so I finally could properly observe it acting in its natural state, which included the creatures form melting into its usual blob-like state. Although the mask-like face did not completely drop; it darkened in tone, matching the rest of the body a tad bit more (excluding the mouth region), but did not go away completely.

Who was the first researcher?

"They weren't the first, just the one before me.

I knew him simply as Jack, he was a strange person. If I recall correctly he was assigned to researching The Ark and the creature inside it due to him holding some similarities to it. Specifically in the 'goop' Jack has scattered within his body. (In my opinion there would have been better people to assign to the case if similarities was the deciding factor but then again I do see some risks with that. I do not know how 'goop' interacting with 'goop' would work, the risk of them merging together is a likely one.)

Thinking about Jack I realize I haven't seen him in awhile... Even before I got his job he was missing for a week or two prior. "

"Despite my wants I wasn't able to enter into The Ark today. Unlike the rumors I've heard from fellow... employees... This was not something forced upon me by the boss nor should he know I had to deal with some 'personal' matters this day.

I would appreciate it if people would stop spreading rumors about my disappearance today, and that you guys do not inform him of this. I think most of us know how he gets about 'time off' (especially those unapproved)"

Journal Entry #2;

"I wasn't able to stay long. The creature seemingly decided to pull a lake's worth of 'water' into The Ark, in the exact spot I enter from. Despite its appearance & texture being the same as normal water... It wasn't. I don't know what it put in the 'water' but... when I was submerged under its surface, everything felt,,, fuzzy?

I have it written in some other notes that I must change the door's location. The feeling was awful, past what I usually expect with unknown magic.

The creature itself could be seen a bits away, behind a tree, when I managed to get myself steady I could hear a murmur from its direction. It's shape also seems to be more defined, having frontal limbs. I wish I had stayed longer to get more information but I could just not get myself to swim out of that 'water', I needed out straight away, no time to get across the lake."

Journal Entry #1;

"Day one of this new role, the place was as described to me previously: Dark, barren, basically void-like. It took me longer than I would like to admit to notice the creature itself, it practically blends in with the void in its natural state.

I had been given some warnings about this creature beforehand, it seemed random in it's actions and when it came across previous researcher it made it its goal to 'torment' them.

Due to this I tried to make my presence not noticeable but I had failed. It knows I'm here now.

After about 10 minutes of my stay we locked...eyes? It lacks true eyes but it stayed still with its 'head' faced towards me. While we looked at each other, pure black pine trees emerged from the ground. We stayed in this position for at least 3 minutes (I'll admit my fight or flight response here was to freeze, in the future I hope to react better) until it started to change in form.

It appears this creature has access to my memories, as it's updated form seems to be mimicking a mask design I have seen while monitoring The Slenderman (Or Operator according to it's file). (Presumably the trees were also because of this same memory, as the real masked figure & The Slenderman are usually within the woods.)

I don't know how much it went through, if possible I may try and engage with it in the future to figure out how much it now knows."
