I apologize for the delay on the updating of the situation, but I've been digging into this matter further. By digging into the matter, I mean, I've been playing the game.

It's obvious this game is nothing like Jadusable's. The textures are correct, not overly right or wrong, the game just calls my avatar by the name Haldis called him (which happens to be what I call him here, Haldis,) and not by any other file's name. There was no other file on this game.

I'm a little on edge whenever Haldis plays. When he plays, everything goes well. I observed his playing, and damn, nothing happens to him. Well, I had been observing for two weeks, and then I decided to play with Haldis in the room. If he were there, would the game react? I wondered.

I decided to go for the fourth day glitch. As I had told Haldis about the first incident, he flinched.

The glitch went through. Haldis glared at me. I knew what he was thinking. I knew he thought I lied. I wondered, maybe if you don't time the glitch right, maybe that's what the screen does? Maybe that was the only problem?

No. The guy at the pawnshop, he was too similar to the Happy Mask Salesman. He also creeped me out. I had yet to talk to Haldis about the guy at the pawnshop.

I played a bit longer and as it seemed, the game wasn't through with me. I got the "Elegy of Emptiness" on the ocarina, and played it. When I played it, the statue appeared as normal. Haldis and I both jumped at the next action.

The statue seemed to float over my avatar to in front of it. It moved, not like how it came to be after the song, but it floated. I screamed, dropped the controller, and jumped into Haldis's arms. He held me as I shook. I proclaimed to him that I knew, I knew I wasn't seeing things! I knew it!

As Haldis calmed me, a shriek sounded from the game, and afterwards, that creepy ass Song of Unhealing as it's been dubbed played. Haldis shut off the console immediately. My heart pounded as I grabbed the game cartridge. It was unbearably hot. I mean, I bet most girls will understand this, touching the curling or straightening iron hot. It seared my skin. Haldis touched it, and he had the same reaction.

We dropped the cartridge, still warm, in a heat-resistant straitening-iron case that my mother had gotten me for my seventeenth birthday, and left for the pawnshop. Haldis drove like a madman. I held on tight as he pulled into the parking lot, finding the pawnshop open. We burst into the shop, seeing that the guy who had sold me the cartridge wasn't there. I asked the girl at the counter if he still worked there.

To my expectation, he had been fired. He had tampered with most of the N64 cartridges. I handed the girl the Majora's Mask copy I got, and she immediately looked from me to the cartridge and back. She did the same thing I did to the guy that day.

"I'm sorry. His wife, well, his live-in girlfriend, really, she tampers with games as well. She's more hardcore than most." The girl said.

"But I mean, this is serious," Haldis began to explain to her what had just happened with the game. The girl's eyes widened.

"I-I'm sorry, I can't say anymore." She said.

"Please, please, at least, show us some way to destroy that game!" I begged.

"I-I can't. You have to figure out how to play it." She said.

"You're scared of this guy's girlfriend?" Haldis asked. The girl reached out and slapped Haldis. I lunged at her and slapped her back. Within seconds it was a complete catfight, one that even Haldis couldn't stop. She pinned me against the ground behind the counter.

"You shouldn't have done that…" She hissed. I became paralyzed with fear at those words. I wished I could have sunk through that floor at that moment. Her short blond hair, those empty blue eyes, and the green stocking cap made her look like the Elegy of Emptiness statue. I started coughing. (I cough when I panic. I have asthma.) Haldis got the girl off of me, grabbed me by the arm, and drug me out of the store. We left the game there.

I was deep in thought, thinking about the girl and the guy. The guy, when his eyes were closed, looked like the Happy Mask Salesman. The girl, when overwhelmed, looked like the Elegy of Emptiness statue. The girl feared the guy's girlfriend. The game, the damned game, was terrifying. The shriek sounded without any provocation. The damned song played automatically.

I was living in a nightmare. I was so convinced I had been introduced to a nightmare. I just wanted to wake up.

We got home, and I stammered into the house and looked at the television. It was a blank blue screen, and the game console was empty. It was a relief, the game not being here.

"Don't worry, babe, it was a prank. She was messing with us. I'll find us a real Majora's Mask copy to help us forget this. I promise." Haldis said. I only could nod. As much as there was relief that the game was no longer in the house, I still had a nagging feeling.

When I went to bed that night, nightmares plagued my mind. The nightmare was of the Lunar Children from the game. They all looked at me.

"Will you play with us?"

I said no, and tried running, but I ran into the guy at the pawn shop. He had a pack on his back full of masks, and his eyes were closed as he smiled. I screamed, but behind me were the Lunar Children.

"Play with us!"

"Yes, play with them, Terra." The guy said. I screamed no, and tried to escape, but the guy held me still as the Lunar Children descended upon me, tearing at my skin, and they sewed a mask to my face. I felt every bit of pain that the dream caused.

As they held up a mirror, I saw the Elegy of Emptiness statue staring back at me.

"Now you're one of us!"

"Play with us!"

"Terra, we won't hurt you." The guy said. I screamed as the guy held me still.

"Now, let us get that mask off your face." He whispered as he popped the stitching, one stitch at a time. He was using a knife, and sometimes, it wouldn't cut me, but when he was getting impatient, he started cutting into my face. I felt every cut, every single damn cut. I felt the blood trickling from my face. When the mask finally was removed, the guy smiled.

"Just stay calm. Join us." He said. The Lunar Children was behind him, all of them, even the one with Majora's Mask, cheering and encouraging me on.

I never thought I'd be so happy to wake up next to Haldis. As I lied awake the rest of the night, I stared at the ceiling. I was having an experience, similar to Jadusable, but why me?

More importantly, were the Lunar Children, or Moon Children, as they were called in the ARG, real? Was I about to stumble onto the most horrific chapter of my short life?
