~3~|The Tapes| Entry #54

(Y/n)'s POV: 

After we saw Tim we went to my house last night so I could pack and call off of work then we went back to the hotel Jay was staying at. Tim called and told us he found the tapes and told us to meet him downtown on his break from work to get them so we're on our way to the agreed upon meet up spot. 

We pulled into the parking lot of Tim's job to see Tim sitting on a bench in front of the building with a plastic bag and a cigarette in the other. We got out and walked up to him "hey" me and Jay said making Tim look at us "hey Jay, (Y/n) here's those tapes I was telling you guys about" Tim says holding them out for us "ok" I say and take them from his hand "so what's the deal with all this stuff" he asks waving his hand referring to the camera but jay didn't get that "what stuff" Jay asked confused "you know the whole point your a camera at everyone's face" Tim says "oh I'm just trying to document this whole process of getting all of Alex's stuff back together and finishing this movie for him, you know" Jay says "ok are you making some kind of behind the scenes feature or something" Tim asks "something like that, yeah" I say "okay" Tim says "what's on those tapes" Jay asks pointing to the bag in my hand as I try and light a cigarette "oh I don't know I wasn't able to watch 'em, you know I'm not the movie guy so I don't have a camera that'll play those kind of tapes" Tim says "well what did you shoot on them" Jay asks "oh Alex lent me one of his cameras to, you know keep me out of his hair, I guess so I wouldn't bother him. I gave the camera back but not the tapes for some reason but I guess their yours now" Tim said "alright we'll yeah thanks. Thanks again for helping us finish this" I say "I mean, I'll help you however much I can but, I mean if you couldn't already tell my work schedule is kind of packed, but I mean if you really think this movie is worth finishing then yeah I guess just give me a call or something" Tim says going to walk away "okay yeah I think it's worth finishing so I'll watch these and I'll call you" I say as Tim waves bye "see you" Tim says walking away "alright" Jay says and looks into the bag picking a tape up and putting it back and walking away with me following behind. 

We've already begun to watch the new tapes. So far, they consist mainly of behind the scenes style footage from when Marble Hornets was being shot. Unsurprisingly, they're all unnumbered and without dates. The following footage is taken from the first one we watched.

The tape starts with heavy breathing not being able to see much because it's pitch black outside but you can hear running footsteps, rainfall, and thunder then you hear "you got the other camera" coming from off screen by Alex "yeah I got it" from the person holding the camera Tim. Then the camera turns off and we get a shot of inside a car while it's raining, then more running this time you can hear three more sets "well that was uh exciting I guess is the word" Tim says behind the camera "that was fun" Jay says looking at the camera "oh yeah pouring rain, awesome" Seth says wiping the water off of his glasses with his shirt "have you guys seen Alex" the only woman in the group asked "oh um he said he was going to run home and change shirts because obviously he's kind of soaking right now but uh he said he was going to be back in a little bit so" Tim says "aren't the tapes in his car" Seth asks still wiping his glasses "yeah unless you want to wait for him you should probably go get them" Jay says "alright, I'll see you" Seth said putting back on his glasses and walking out of frame "see you" Tim says "bye" (Y/n) says. After a few seconds (Y/n) speaks up "well I guess I don't really have a reason to be here anymore either since I guess we're done" she says "alright yeah I think we're just going to be like wrapping it up back here so" Tim says "alright well see you" (Y/n) says walking away "alright see you" Tim says "bye" Jay says and once she's pulling out of the parking lot Tim looks at Jay who was smiling slightly Tim looked at him leaning on the beam, smirking "what why are you looking at me like that" Jay asks as he looks back a Tim after watching (Y/n) drive away "you like her don't you" Tim asks Jay looks at him dumbfounded for a second then quickly says "me like her no I would never" Jay says looking away nervously rubbing his arm "yeah you do" Tim says chuckling "well I'm gonna go I'll see you" Jay says changing the subject quickly"see you" Tim says chuckling walking into the apartment complex once Jay walks away. 

The screen cuts really quick and turns back on showing a keyboard with a ukulele being played or trying to be played "we're hear in scenic Tim's apartment uh in his music room. Complete with box of thing, keyboard-" Alex was cut off my by Tim "making musical masterpiece things with our hands" Tim says still playing the ukulele "ukulele with Tim attachment" Alex joked "I just learned this song two like minutes ago" Tim says off screen "another keyboard, complete with beats" Alex said pressing a button making the beat play "I define song pretty loosely right now because this is atrocious" Tim says still trying to play the ukulele "why am I holding the camera" Alex asks moving to hand it to Tim "because you're the movie guy" Tim says taking the camera "then you be the behind the movie guy. A little bit more on topic uh" Alex says as Brian walks in drying his hair with a grey towel "oh there's Brian" Tim says "what's up dude" Brian says "that's a nice towel you got there" Tim says "oh thanks" Brian says pulling the towel off of his head "that's some nice hair" bothTim and Alex say together "my hair always looks good that's why I'm the star" Brian says throwing the towel in the corner of the room and looking at Alex and Tim laughs "uh but Seth and I have been going over the footage and I think we have enough now where we can start putting together our trailer" Alex says "trailer" Tim whispers behind the camera "and I've been thinking about music I think I wanna go more along the acoustic lines so do you wanna help record some stuff maybe with your ukulele or" Alex continues as Tim zooms in on his face "I could probably do that I mean I got this ukulele like a week ago so I can't exactly promise I'll be any good at it but I can always try" Tim says "well you have a what I assume is some kind of guitar thing" Alex says pointing at the black case by Brian "you can is it going to be like-" Tim was going to say but the lights cut out throughout the apartment "is it going to be like dark" Tim says as you can hear the thunder outside "there's going to be significantly more lighting" Alex says "okay well, I also like being able to see so I'm going to try and find the breaker box I don't even know where it is I never had to use it before ow" Tim says as he hit something "not there" Alex says in the other room "nope" Tim says and continues walking in the dark hallway after a minute of bumping into things and humming to himself in the dark the lights come back on "welp never mind" Tim says as you hear loud static and the lights go out again and Tim sighs "never mind again" he mutters as he continues to look for the breaker box "I really hope it's over here. There we go" Tim says as he flicks all the switches not really knowing which one was which "great the powers just off" he sighs and finds a flashlight as he walks back into his makeshift music room "good news guys we have a flashlight" he says walking in "even better news, guess what's battery powered" Alex says as he presses the button to make the beats play "oh this day just got so much better, well hey about that acoustic soundtrack, I guess that's the only choice we have now so um" Tim says while sitting down "jam session" Alex says "yeah" Tim says as the audio cuts then comes back on after a few seconds "let me get good lighting in Alex here" Brian says pointing the flashlight at Alex after Tim gave it to him the audio distorts for a second "you look so dramatic" Tim says then the audio distorts and the tape cuts. 

The first tape ends there.
