11_school early

my utmost favourite detail in this one is how when you check the photo near the place you "used to live", the photograph opposite that is clearly a photo of the lake. and kris/ash CLEARLY avoids even acknowledging it or going to interact.

Something that really strikes fear in me is this persons Username. Ash-Veil Lane. This is uncomfortably similar to Ash-Tree Lane, which is where the House from House of Leaves is located. And the entire theme of deltarune fits so well with House of Leaves, a dark world, a closet that doesn’t have any walls. When I first played deltarune and I heard Susie say “I think this closet is broken” I legit had to put down the game for a second because of that. I don’t know (or think) that this ARG has any connection so far to House of Leaves, but I just felt like pointing this out.

[@LIMECAINE]

huh, that’s one of my favorite books and I didn’t even make that connection.

[@wack9175]

I never saw references to the book until I read it. Which does make sense, a lot of references are a little subtle, but it's still a little freaky.

[@mythstuffthehome1711]

The items definitely correspond to each of Kris's classmates, I can't make exact connection to all of them though. There are exactly eight items in the shelf, including the purple skin, which matches the number of classmates Kris has. Not to mention, we can make obvious connections to two of the items to them, as they're part of their bodies. The purple skin is obviously Susie; the blue quill is Berdly, again, obviously; the pile of burnt twigs could be Noelle, like they're meant to be her antlers; the paper fortune teller could be Catti, since she is interested in the occult and a fortune teller with runes is right up her alley; and these are all the connections I can really make. Considering the other items seem pretty out-of-place, this theory could be wrong, but I might as well still point it out. Help would be appreciated in tryna figure out these links.

[@mythstuffthehome1711]

Just thought about the jagged tooth possibly being linked to MK, since they have a singular buck tooth on their sprite.

[@theknightwithabadpictotall7639]

Small animal bone could be Jockington because he looks the most like an actual animal

[@ThefifthBishopofGord]

Since I don’t know the characters name I will just go off the position they are in the classroom. I think the small animal bone is likely to be either 2 down and 3 right or 3 down and 3 right. They seem the most likely to be so. But considering the petrified wood I think the small animal bone is 3 down and 3 right as petrified wood seems fitting for the dinosaur like appearance of 2 down and 3 right. I guess that makes the page 3 done and 0 right. Don’t know what could be the Temmie though as nothing fits so there is the possibility they are the one casting whatever they are used for.

Oh yeah. The news says you're moving at the end of the week - as in, you haven't moved yet. And yet it says you WERE living at that house. Seems to suggest the part of that sentence that's in the past is the "living" part.

[@PK_Miracle]

​@09.J man, after finally getting that conclusion...this story is really sad

[@evalig871]

It seems this entry takes place in the distant future. Toriel moving away, the lightbulb burning out despite being "new", and last but not least the description saying "you’re ahead of schedule". If we’re going with the "Kris drowned in the lake" theory, this entry could be Kris as a ghost of some kind wandering the school? Not sure what to make of the ritual items. Perhaps Catti tried to bring Kris back somehow? The pale purple skin seems to be alluding to Susie, although if we’re REALLY pushing it we could say something about how dying from asphyxiation (like when drowning) causes the skin to turn purple-ish

[@lasagna3289]

That would make sense, actually - if Kris died here, it would make sense for Toriel to move away.

[@veronicafromtallyhall]

[@i_am_boredom]

1:58 If Toriel is moving at the end of the week, than this text is odd. It makes the implication that Kris has already left. Obviously this leads back to Kris dying in the lake. But Kris finding occult materials and stuff makes it seem like they’re alive.

[@lasagna3289]

Analyzing the items found in the cupboard... Most of them, I have nothing to say about. Pile of Burnt Twigs: ??? Blue Quill: Now, a quill isn't actually explicitly a writing implement - it's actually just the name of a type of feather, that gets used as a writing implement. A blue feather. Seems mighty relevant to Berdly, I'd think, yes? A small animal bone: ??? A water damaged book page: Water is always suspicious in deltarune, and especially so in Ash-Veil Lane Not sure what to make of it though. A paper fortune teller with runes: Like the delta rune? A shard of petrified wood: ??? Large, jagged, rotten tooth: Could belong to Susie? Pale purple moulted skin: Of course, this would be Susie's. Susie shedding? Shedding and farding? ...They weren't wrong when they said it seems ritualistic. It brings Catti to mind, but this is just such a weird combination of characters to be together, right? Berdly, Catti and Susie? Catti despises Susie, and Berdly doesn't really hang out with anyone other than Noelle. EDIT: Perhaps the ritual has something to do with the being Kris encountered in the water yesterday?

[@greengrapeguy70]

The petrified wood could be a reference to Noelle. Petrified could mean like in "scared", and Noelle has been referred to and acts "like a deer in headlights" and deers live in forests.

[@3DFella]

When I first saw “Rotten Tooth” and “Small animal bone” I immediately assumed that Kris’s corpse was stored in that cabinet after they drowned, or atleast what little remains they could find of Kris. By the end I know this is obviously not true butttt I just wanted to share my thought process lmao

[@wolfkitty42]

I suspect the burnt twigs were used in a fire, possibly in a ritual Kris did. Catti isn't the only one associated with the occult.

[@Nightengalenight]

Nobody going to mention how Kris is moving really strangely? They're moving at impossible angles, and their horizontal and vertical movement speeds don't seem to match at all. Almost makes me think the whole thing is a cutscene.

[@lynn253]

about susie… i can’t help but wonder if something bad happened to her. not only is that skin in the cupboard really weird (a shedding of some kind or something more sinister?) but they open the phone at the end like they’re going to call her as they so frequently do, but seem to think better of it. did they do it by instinct before remembering something we don’t know? did they not want to for some reason?

[@endrylgoes2892]

They where supposed to get a new phone number

[@TwilightFlower9]

So, the more I think about it, the more i think it's Ash (or someone close to them) who drowned, not Kris. It's not Kris making all the strange choices like not asking about Ralsei, or not checking the beach painting -- it's the player, or in this case, Ash. Even the hole uses the language "It reminds YOU of...". You, not Kris.

[@goshator]

One thing to mention is that the video doesn't look like a game anymore, but like a fanmade animation - look at the unnatural diagonals and speeds Kris walks at. It wouldn't be notable otherwise, but the previous videos felt way closer to the gameplay than this one and some of the latter ones

[@ArleteFerreira-n3r]

HERE IS HOW I THINK THE VIDEO ORDER IS: If i get anything wrong or you think i got anything wrong reply it to me and ill see if i can fix it. 1 goes first it was hard but this seems to not have any corrolation with the other videos so i kind of just have to put it at 1. 10 and 02 seem to be second both talk about the lake and the suffocation. though its hard to tell which came first. most likely 10 as 02 is reminding kris of pain and what would happen if we were to fall in the lake/hole. keyword. REMINDING. 7 happens after drowning in 10/02 kris is once again reminded of what they did. as in 02. maybe it seems like that kris is alive but it could be the light world is their heaven /hell? as ralsei / asriel tells us about where we draw the line between reality and fantasy. 5 happens after 4 she just gave us her phone number 4 happens before 5 this was tricky. it either went in the number one spot because it could be kris before the incident as they seem alive. but they seem alive in every other episode so because i dont have much information i just have to go with the phone call thingy as we have susies phone number already. 9 goes after 5 it's just more susie dialouge, just MORE meaning the other susies dialouge episode has to have come before. now obviously there are some we ant figure out the order to as we dont have the actual amount of footage to explain it so. here are the ones i couldnt figure out. 8 3 6 and 3 and of course 11

[@AlphaPizzadog]

[@samala2931]

The ritual is certainly weird, but there's a good chance it's relating to the canon fact that Kris and Catti used to do occult stuff. Also Kris be able to through the side door in the abandoned classroom this time...hmm. What really caught my attention tho is that Toriel is moving away soon.

One of the photos on the wall is of what appears to be a beach. Not sure what this means, but it’s worth pointing out.

[@mythstuffthehome1711]

I'm thinking it's either: a birds-eyed view of the water from the pond; a picture of the sky - the green, red, and blue bits meant to be clouds; or intentionally not a photograph but just funny rainbow image to subvert information given to us earlier.

THATS WHERE KRIS GOT SUSIES NUMBER???

[@TheHollowKnightInQuestion]

also I personally think kris died in the lake and was resurrected by susie (because. only real friend.) + Susie's shedded skin was there +Susie's number was there.

[@ilovepengins]

​@@TheHollowKnightInQuestionsince when susie could revive people? Occult? Maybe but I'm not sure

[@lasagna3289]

It's not where they got the phone number - at the beginning of the first Susie phone call video, Susie says "I know I JUST gave you my phone number..." so it's certainly not that.

[@wolfkitty42]

I disagree. When we see Kris call Susie initially, the school is normal.

Maybe someone we know has made a ritual to contact with the Kris???? Prob Susie with help or Cathy even??? We have the fact that Noelle talked about playing pretend... But what are they pretending??

alright the past is put into perspective. in 16 its mentioned that the water makes you go crazy. and kris "decides not to do this" when interacting with the water fountain, proof this is after that. maybe. or maybe kris is both in the past and the future but the school is grey so probably not

[@EebyDeeby413]

My guesses for the relations of the items in the cabinet: Twigs - Noelle Quill - Berdly Animal bone - Jockington (Odd one out I couldn't think of anything better for, but he IS literally just a snake, so) Water Soaked Page - Snowdrake (Joke book that was lost in the snow?) Fortune teller - Catti Petrified Wood - Temmie (Associated with an egg that's never going to hatch/grow because it's boiled so -> Rock that came from a tree that's never going to grow because it's dead/a rock?) Tooth - Monster Kid Purple skin - Susie

[@willzsocial]

based off noelles dialogue in roaring town mentioning her rotting teeth, i think it’s reasonable to assume that the rotting tooth is related to noelle rather than monster kid

(too lazy to write it fully): might be related to either cult or kris knows the name of the game she is at is called "deltarune" Shard of petrfied wood: ??? that tooth: might be Susie's tooth, or be a reference to something else.

[@legendaryinfernoakira]

overanalyzation of stuff in this video; "Steel welded into shape, eagerly awaiting purpose" possibly a knife? "It is not currently aware that it's inanimate and cannot move. This is a stupid locker." protag (not neccessarily kris as far as we know) projecting how they're stuck in a fantasy while their body is in a coma from almost drowning "Creating a pitiful spurt of water" this would probably be burned into your mind too if it was the last thing you did before dying "...this Friday will be her last day here!" death date "This one was taken near the place you were living at" possibly alluding to the protag being on vacation at a lake home, before promptly getting in their drowning accident "The light bulb has burnt out." death "A pile of burnt twigs. A blue quill. A small animal bone. A water damaged page ripped from a book. A paper fortune teller lined with runes rather than letters. A shard of petrified wood, A large jagged rotten tooth... (skip) ...moulted skin, pale purple." These objects do not have significance, rather it is an autopsy report of the dead body. Possible theory is cult affiliation or a murder of sorts.
