The Carlos Files

My name is Carlos. I study science. I've recently come to investigate this strange, strange little town called Night Vale. I've started up this blog to document my research and findings lest a physical copy be obtained or my work somehow be censored.

[thecarlosfiles]

Sorry I’ve been so inactive lately. I’ve been having such a good time now that I’m back in town with Cecil!

I’ll tell you all about it. Soon. But right now I have a lot of catching up to do.

[thecarlosfiles]

I can not wait for Cecil to come move in!

That’s not really true. I can wait. I just don’t want to.

[thecarlosfiles]

Sometimes, you want to go back in time and tell yourself not to make a post, you know?

And then you realize that you could, because time travel is decriminalized in Night Vale, but it would mess with causality and that would not be good.

[thecarlosfiles]

I can not wait for Cecil to come move in!

That’s not really true. I can wait. I just don’t want to.

[thecarlosfiles]

Sceince!

I’m just kidding. That’s not how you spell ‘science’.

[thecarlosfiles]

I am sorry for being so inactive lately. I've been very busy with my plans with Cecil and with the construction of our home here.

I did want to let all of you know that the Strexpet I found seems to have disappeared. I can’t find it. It probably wandered off somewhere. Maybe it will be back, maybe not. It was doing fine on its own though so I’m not too worried about it.

[thecarlosfiles]

Carlos? I need to speak with you. -Yevgeniy [technicallynightvale]

Oh… Hi.

What is it?

[themathisoncollective]

I know you were concerned about the effects of your actions last we spoke. I wanted to reassure you that you have undone nothing. In fact, only good has come of it.

[thecarlosfiles]

Thank you. Now that I know that, I do feel a lot better about the mess with Jim.

But he’s still gone. I... I wish I could’ve helped him.

[thecarlosfiles]

Carlos? I need to speak with you. -Yevgeniy [technicallynightvale]

Oh... Hi.

What is it?

[thecarlosfiles]

Hey, things are looking up a bit! I’ve made a great discovery. I’ll tell you more about it once I figure it out more, or maybe Cecil will tell you on his show!

[themathisoncollective]

Carlos, please remember to breathe.

It is okay. The building is gone from here, and there is no sign of the evil which lived within it.

Even if it is also gone from where you are, it is not here.

Everything is okay.

[thecarlosfiles]

But something happened. I made something happen. Jim couldn’t even warn me because I got him mad at me, just because I wouldn’t admit I was wrong, and now something happened, and it might have undone what Jim did, what Jim died to do.

I don’t... know... how I feel right now. I need to go.

[themathisoncollective]

It was literally gone.

Carlos? Are you alright?

[thecarlosfiles]

The building... the building came here and there was a flash drive and I did something to it, I plugged the flash drive into a computer in the building and I couldn’t stop myself I tried to stop but I couldn’t, and then the building disappeared again.

No, no, no no no no

[themathisoncollective]

We believe that he did win, yes.

Aunt Lupita went looking for him when he did not come home. She knew the location of the building which 805 was tied to. The building is gone. There has been no sign of them since. Their splinter corporation also seems to have fallen apart.

It seems safe to say that he won.

[thecarlosfiles]

The building was gone?

Like it was wrecked right? Not like. Physically disappeared. Right. Right?

If it was literally gone that would mean it had to go somewhere, and it had to go somewhere, and I think I know where it went.

Oh no, no, no no no no

[themathisoncollective]

He did, yes. 

I am told there were many complications. Apparently my hardware was insufficient to support my OS.

I am… glad that he succeeded, in the end. I have not been cognizant for very long, but it has been an experience I would never choose to forget.

[thecarlosfiles]

So he brought them down, then?

Those Strex things, I mean. Department 805. He gave himself up but he won in the end, right? He won. He killed them. Jim killed them. That was all he wanted, he wanted to kill them. To kill them. Right? He did that.

[themathisoncollective]

I am glad. I am available if you need someone to talk to.

[thecarlosfiles]

Thanks.

So, uh, Jim built you, huh?

[themathisoncollective]

How are you faring?

[thecarlosfiles]

Better now, I think. I think.

I still haven’t talked to Cecil, but I am actually up and doing things today, so that’s good.

[thecarlosfiles]

That was an interesting two days.

[thecarlosfiles]

I need to breathe. I need to call Cecil. But I can’t call Cecil about Jim.

There’s nothing I can do right now, so I need to breathe.

[thecarlosfiles]

I can’t call him but I need to call him I can’t call him but I need to call him I can’t call him but I need to call him I can’t

[thecarlosfiles]

I need to breathe. I need to call Cecil. But I can’t call Cecil about Jim.

There’s nothing I can do right now, so I need to breathe.
