To All Non-Butterfly Fans of CNS

I have exciting news! We need you. Natalie needs you. Desperately. If you saw that last video, I’m sure you saw how Natalie went to that weird dark foresty place and then just kinda backed up into the pitch black. She’s stuck in there, and lost. Roivas is trying to find her, but she needs help. More help than us chat regulars are able to give her.

Which means we come to you, you lovely people. It’s okay if you don’t want to get deeply involved in the series permanently. That’s fine, you don’t have to. All we ask is that you do this one thing to help Caught and Natalie not die, and then you can go back to casually observing. No pressure, you don’t need to “pick a side,” you don’t need to come into chat, you don’t even need to talk to any of us if you don’t want to.

This is all we need: Find 10 flowers, as many varieties as possible (If you can’t find 10 different flowers, that’s ok. It’ll still work with 10 of the same kind, but it’s stronger if there are different types). Burn them to ashes (I suggest drying them out first, though. It’s a lot easier to burn when they’re dry). Rub the ashes on your hands. Film all of this (or at the very least take photographs of each step, but filming is better if you can), and show your ashy hands to the camera. Then upload it to youtube, tag “RoivasSevil”, "CaughtNotSleeping", and/or send a link of it to Roivas’ channel. That’s it. You don’t have to say anything, you don’t have to talk to anyone, and you can go right back to lurking when it’s done if you want to.

What this will do is give Roivas enough power to learn how to navigate that dark place and find Natalie and bring her back out. And maybe, someday, if this works, she’ll be able to help get Caught back to normal, too.

We only have a couple weeks of window in which this will count, though, so if you decide you’d like to help, please do this soon. Like maybe this weekend or early next week at the latest if you can. The more people who are able to do this, the stronger Roivas will be, and the better chance she has at saving Natalie. Please remember that this is an ARG, and it is entirely possible to lose, so if we don’t hit whatever magical secret quota of flower rituals there is, she could very well be stuck there forever. This isn’t like some of the other series where they just find a way to put it back on track if viewers do the wrong thing. They’ll let our mistakes play out.

Please, if it’s at all possible, help us out here. We don’t want Caught and Natalie to die. But we can’t do this alone. This is in no way a commitment on your part. This can be the only thing you ever do for this game if you want it to be. But if you can help out at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, all, so much.

If you choose to do this, I have some safety tips here: http://iammissanna.tumblr.com/post/36690750011/flower-burning-safety-again

Yeah I'm definitely going to do this sometime this week, and once I get wifi (sometime after Xmas) I think I'm going to become a Butterfly.

I won't become a butterfly.. Just because I feel like it will backfire no matter what people say. But I will burn the flowers.

you dont understand.
the point of this is that we DONT want butterflies to do this ritual. butterflies cant do it.

Then It's a good thing I never became a Butterfly.

I've never really understood your anti-butterfly sentiment but great. good for you.

just save natalie's life and stay out of our way afterwards

Thanks guys ^_^. I really appreciate that you're willing to help out, and I know the others are, too.

Newbie here, but...

I want to help. I'll see if there are any flowers actually growing right now and if I can find enough, I'll burn them.

You're awesome
(Welcome, by the way!)

Thanks a lot, guys!

I've only got a crappy cellphone camera, but I've gone ahead and started collecting flowers.

Most have been killed off by the cold, but if I find enough tomorrow, I'll be sure to upload a vid of me burning them and putting the ash on my hands.

Edit: Okay, so you can't exactly see all of them since I stuffed them in there, but I've got the flowers.

Spoiler:

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Off topic, but is that a teeny little cauldron? Wherever did you find such a treasure?

thanks guys! Keep them coming and the war'll be over by christmas

For all those who are doing this or who are planning on doing this.
Thank you.
We need this help, we're doing everything we can to help Caught and Natalie, but we simply are not enough.
We need your strength and we need your support.
Without you, we have no chance.

Yep, it's a baby cauldron. I picked it up a few years back at a New Age store for around five bucks, back when I was still into that stuff.

Apparently, Slender Man was near (this is a poor attempt at a joke), because it turned out to be a pixelated nightmare and the audio screech was bad to the point I disabled it, but I hope it helps you folks out.

Would it be a problem if the video of me burning the flowers were Ig in my own series as well?
It wouldn't be a crossover, just a nod to CNS.

I'm almost certain it would be an issue. If you feel the need to do that, feel free to ask the creators! but I'm sure they'd probably prefer it if you kept it out of your own canon.

To be honest, I'm almost certain they'd be totally fine with it, but I'm sure if you PMed them, they could tell you for sure.

And again, thank you so much! This will really help. I see it's unlisted. Just wanted to double-check to make sure you sent it to Roivas' channel so it can be found. ^_^

I shot a PM to their account with a link to the video. :D

Awesome, thank you. <3

Except what they've told the chat mods is that their idea of gamejacking is someone trying to insert their series/character in CNS canon. I can see how doing it IG in another series could be construed as such. To be on the safe side, it would be better if you didn't incorporate it into your series.
