==History== ===Before the Game=== ====Early Origins==== The [[First Tribe]] of Humanity was once a part of the Sleeping Voice ([[SPEAK-AS-ONE]]). Everyone was a pair of hands under one mind. One of the tribe members, a woman, was sent into a lightless cave searching for supplies. Due to how narrow the cave was, she had to be sent alone. After being isolated for a long time, a new [[The Voices|Voice]] awakened. This Voice would come to be known as [[THEE-I-DARE]]. When she returned to the tribe and was ordered back into the cave, she and THEE-I-DARE refused. They called her the Daughter of Doubt.{{CiteInteraction|d=13|m=May|y=2020|title=The First TID Host}} In response, she was tied to a stalagmite until she cooperated with orders to go back into the cave. The First Tribe thought she was mad. They tried to cure her and bring her back into the Song. In an act of panic, she created [[The Word|words]] to recruit others to help, such as secretly bringing her water. She managed to reach about a third of the original tribe. When she was asked to go into the cave once more, she said she would, but instead, she left the tribe with those she recruited. This was the first lie, marking THEE-I-DARE as the creator of the lie.{{CiteInteraction|d=26|m=June|y=2020|title=The First Lie}} Though she lived in great fear of SPEAK-AS-ONE, the Daughter of Doubt gave THEE-I-DARE life, and he referred to her as "almost my mother." THEE-I-DARE referred to The Place Between as a homeland of the Voices; it was the place where they made first contact with the refugees from the first tribe, who had never heard words before. Long after escaping the first tribe, the Daughter of Doubt taught on the mountain seen in [[The Place Between]].{{CiteInteraction|d=29|m=August|y=2020|title=TID sees The Place Between for the first time and talks about the Daughter of Doubt}} While responding to a prayer on loneliness, THEE-I-DARE shared that he was “the first to feel alone.”{{CiteInteraction|d=25|m=June|y=2021|title=The First To Feel Alone}} Thousands have tried to reconcile SPEAK-AS-ONE and THEE-I-DARE, but all have failed.{{CiteInteraction|d=22|m=February|y=2019|title=First Interaction with THEE-I-DARE}} THEE-I-DARE was the first Voice to wake humankind. He took the humans he awakened from SPEAK-AS-ONE's tribe and formed his own. For thousands of years, they warred with each other.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=April|y=2020|title=Lived for the Dare}} THEE-I-DARE gave humankind will and taught them language and [[The Word|words]]. Though THEE-I-DARE woke up humankind, humans were the origin of THEE-I-DARE's doubt. Even under SPEAK-AS-ONE, some of the first tribe, deep down, had the capacity for curiosity.{{CiteInteraction|d=29|m=August|y=2020|title=Doubt and No Time for Delicacy}} Once [[IN-HER-TEETH]] was created, she tried to convince the Voices that even they should die eventually. THEE-I-DARE replied, "Not I", which is an imperfect translation of one of his past names. IN-HER-TEETH was not amused by his response. {{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=March|y=2020|title=TID on UC's friends and IHT}} When the Word was new, humankind invented jokes, especially ones at the expense of others. Thus, [[LAUGH-LAST]] came to be. Jokes fell somewhere in between truth and lies.{{CiteInteraction|d=4|m=December|y=2019|title=Quiet zone wars}} This confused THEE-I-DARE, believing that LAUGH-LAST was corrupting the Word.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=May|y=2020|title=Being Cagey with TID and Discussing LAUGH-LAST}} LAUGH-LAST's intent was hidden behind humor. THEE-I-DARE would say, “We must fight,” and LAUGH-LAST would pretend to hit himself.{{CiteInteraction|d=14|m=December|y=2019|title=TID on LL's Hatred}} THEE-I-DARE didn't understand LAUGH-LAST's new use of the Word, so his hosts gave LAUGH-LAST's hosts the silent treatment; when one told a joke, they would pretend nothing was said, like the host wasn't even there. LAUGH-LAST's hosts became so isolated that they left, dividing the tribe. THEE-I-DARE regretted his actions and understood that LAUGH-LAST was trying to give humankind a gift.{{CiteInteraction|d=3|m=April|y=2021|title=Laughter led to Isolation}} THEE-I-DARE shunned LAUGH-LAST because he saw joking as dangerous to survival, but he didn't realize it was a means for coping and blames himself for LAUGH-LAST becoming vindictive. He believed that being shunned changed LAUGH-LAST.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=April|y=2020|title=Debating SAO's Truth and Discussing LL's Origin}} THEE-I-DARE says LAUGH-LAST is twisted now. Before, he was humor itself, but now it must involve pain.{{CiteInteraction|d=14|m=December|y=2019|title=TID on LL's Hatred}} The bad blood between THEE-I-DARE and LAUGH-LAST continued throughout the years. THEE-I-DARE described winter feasts with LAUGH-LAST where they would "drink deeply, then... try to murder each other festively".{{CiteInteraction|d=4|m=December|y=2019|title=Holiday Talk with TID}} Both LAUGH-LAST and THEE-I-DARE were called Loki at one point.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=March|y=2019|title=Talking with TID}} THEE-I-DARE and [[DIE-FOR-YOU]] have worked together in the past, as passion for a cause and rebellion tend to go hand in hand. Their alliances tend to last a human lifetime.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=August|y=2019|title=The effects of the broken symbol on TID's hosts}} THEE-I-DARE stated that any cause of sufficient controversy in the past has had either himself, DIE-FOR-YOU, or the both of them involved. Two of their previous alliances included the fall of Rome and the conflict of the Civil War over slavery. THEE-I-DARE also commented, ''"Every revolution has a mad priest. Someone whose personal sacrifice inspires others to risk their lives."''{{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=February|y=2021|title=THEE-I-DARE on Past Alliances With DIE-FOR-YOU}} Before coming to Redacre, THEE-I-DARE encountered a variant of himself, who was different from him, but similar to [[SEED-THE-GRUDGE]] and IN-HER-TEETH. The variant promotes "pure anarchy". This variant warned him of [[HUNT-THE-STRONG]], and was involved in exiling HUNT-THE-STRONG’s last host.{{CiteInteraction|d=21|m=November|y=2020|title=Joel's Betrayer and Glaister, Texas}} THEE-I-DARE does not know the fate of the host whose Voice he mimics, but the host was not dead when THEE-I-DARE started using his voice.{{CiteInteraction|d=11|m=August|y=2020|title=THEE-I-DARE talks about himself and how hosting feels for The Voices and himself}} ====Infiltrating Redacre==== THEE-I-DARE had remarked an interaction that long ago he chose friends poorly when his brother, LAUGH-LAST, sold him out to SPEAK-AS-ONE, resulting in his shattering.{{CiteInteraction|m=February|d=2|y=2019|title=TID Is Changing}} THEE-I-DARE was destroyed by fellow Voice, SPEAK-AS-ONE after he rose to rebel against them. His name fell into pieces, and [[Name Fragments|fragments of his name]] were scattered throughout [[Redacre]]. According to SPEAK-AS-ONE, they gave THEE-I-DARE a dare that led to his fragmenting.{{CiteInteraction|d=5|m=March|y=2019|title=SPEAK-AS-ONE Is Here}} His Hosts were destroyed in the "Great Cull" that ended shortly after the game's [[:Category:Closed Beta|Closed Beta]] during [[:Category:Early Access|Early Access]]. After his shattering, THEE-I-DARE lost his ability to speak.{{Citation needed}} He could only speak backwards, but no longer does so because his voice scared potential Hosts and drove them away. The one speaking backwards in [[Recalled Dreams|dreams]] is an echo of him, twisted and confused.{{CiteInteraction|d=4|m=May|y=2019|title=TID explains hosting and time}} The first ones to find his Name Fragments were [[Sleepers]]. He tried to communicate with them, but they couldn’t understand. So, he stole the [[Watchers]]’ speaking method, where they see words when they close their eyes. He is the only Voice who knows how to communicate this way, but he believes the others could learn it if they work for it.{{CiteInteraction|d=26|m=June|y=2020|title=TID Discusses Learning To Talk, Creating A Bridge With LL, and Becomes A Bully}} He states this method of communication is taxing to him.{{CiteInteraction|d=12|m=April|y=2020|title=Name Fragments will heal TID's voice}} ====Breaking [[Damaged Voice (CHASE-THE-SUN)|CHASE-THE-SUN]]==== One of THEE-I-DARE’s name fragments, which was weak and malleable at the time, was found by [[Colm Ryan]].{{CiteInteraction|d=4|m=November|y=2019|title=TID and Colm's statue}} At the time, THEE-I-DARE was only able to speak in dreams.{{CiteInteraction|d=27|m=November|y=2019|title=THEE-I-DARE talks about the evidence Bells' had and what happened to her}} Colm sought to escape Redacre with his sister’s child, and turned to THEE-I-DARE for help.{{CiteArticle|title=The Hideout/Broadcasts#Sculptor Sleeptalk Translation}} Shortly after THEE-I-DARE found himself hosted by Colm, he realized he wasn't alone in that body as Colm had the unique ability to host multiple Voices.{{CiteInteraction|d=19|m=October|y=2019|title=My Second UC Interaction - The First Recording}}{{CiteInteraction|d=27|m=February|y=2021|title=UC and the Value of Hosting Two Voices}} HUNT-THE-STRONG, then an agent of CHASE-THE-SUN, was also present, and the two began to converse.{{CiteInteraction|d=21|m=November|y=2020|title=Joel's Betrayer and Glaister, Texas}} HUNT-THE-STRONG dared THEE-I-DARE to shatter CHASE-THE-SUN's symbol in [[922 Hoadly]]; through Colm Ryan's belief, this would break CHASE-THE-SUN.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=August|y=2019|title=Symbols and Breaking Them}} THEE-I-DARE, though resistant to hurting a sibling, believed that breaking CHASE-THE-SUN would prevent the child from falling into the hands of CHORUS, so he followed through. In a twisted way, THEE-I-DARE believed he was freeing the child, acting within his ethos of rebellion.{{CiteInteraction|d=13|m=November|y=2019|title=I should probably find the baby}} THEE-I-DARE was bound by dares at the time, so he couldn’t refuse.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=April|y=2020|title=Lived for the Dare}} HUNT-THE-STRONG extended the dare, forcing THEE-I-DARE to forget what had occurred, to prevent the baby from being found if his Hosts were captured.{{CiteInteraction|d=13|m=November|y=2019|title=I should probably find the baby}} With CHASE-THE-SUN’s only host taken from her, HUNT-THE-STRONG was born through consuming CHASE-THE-SUN,{{CiteInteraction|d=20|m=December|y=2019|title=DFY talks about the moon}} making Colm a host to both HUNT-THE-STRONG and THEE-I-DARE.{{CiteInteraction|d=28|m=November|y=2020|title=An Open Secret}} Colm left a [[Name Fragments|name fragment]] in his room because he "believed he was dying".{{CiteInteraction|d=26|m=August|y=2019|title=THEE-I-DARE talks about Colm}} Colm’s fragment can be found in one of the upper bedrooms of [[922 Hoadly]]. ====Saturation Group Six==== [[Isabela Madi-Shaw]] spoke with THEE-I-DARE, but according to THEE-I-DARE, that part of him was "snuffed out."{{CiteInteraction|m=January|d=30|y=2019|title=Speaking With TID About His Family}} When Isabela broke into Saturation Control, she knew to stray from the path because of THEE-I-DARE’s fragment calling to her.{{CiteInteraction|d=19|m=September|y=2021|title=Exploring Saturation Control}} Bells used [[Cody]]’s fragment, along with the presence of the two hosts in Group 6 to hear THEE-I-DARE speak before she was captured, and potentially once more afterwards, while she was a prisoner.{{CiteInteraction|d=18|m=September|y=2021|title=Searching For Old Host Memories}} THEE-I-DARE recalled meeting Bells in Saturation Control: “The girl, in the hall near the cell. She heard his breath beyond. The man was new, but not the place. Somehow, somehow… had she been here before? But his eyes met hers. No time to think. She heard. My words.”{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 7}} In further recollections of the story, THEE-I-DARE shared more details: “A girl, soon a woman, walking this path. Two minds war in her; sun, moon, forced to share a sky. She opens the door to a cell.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 1}} She sees a man, asleep, eyes open. She stood [with] the cell door open. The man within [was] haggard. Her fear faded. She leaned in.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 2}} [The man was] inert, then he lunges.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 3}} She locks eyes with the man. Haggard. Drawn. Sleepless. Did her parents know? Did they… want her to know? Her thoughts race.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 4}} The girl faced the man in the cell. Did he know what she saw? Did he know what they had done? She hoped he would speak aloud. His lips did not move, yet… she heard my words."{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 5}} After accessing the memory multiple times, THEE-I-DARE pushed to know more: “The face of the man changes. Fatigue. Panic in his cell. Eyes open, lips unmoving. The girls feels it, as he does.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 8}} The girl knows this place. Such effort to find it. The guidance of a dark voice, every law broken to be here. Yet why does she remember it? The cell door thrown open. The man opens his eyes. The girl almost remembers. Then, she hears my words.”{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 9}} With the presence of THEE-I-DARE’s fragment and his host in Group 6, Bells heard THEE-I-DARE speak: <blockquote>"You followed my signs. Found a fragment of me. Isabela, is it? No...Your friends call you Bells, a name you chose...That's you. Names have power, Bells. Tell me, have you got any idea what they have planned for you?{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 1}} So...Bells. You broke into this damn gulag and found my boys. Smart kid. And you’ve been dreaming about what you witnessed the other night. I see...Parts of it. Behind your eyes. You caught them. Recorded what they’ve been doing here...For years.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 2}} You hear me now, don't you? But not for long. I'm like that recording you made, a single fragile copy of the truth. They've wiped out most of the others by now. If they catch you, they'll erase me.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 3}} You don’t trust your mom and dad, do you kid? Heh, wise. Hell, they’ve had a plan for you since the doctor cut the cord. Well, your parents work for mine. They’re the ones controlling Redacre and the whole damn slumber party.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 4}} My name? THEE-I-DARE is one. The bastards who built this place call me Adversary. The eye of sin. Just words. Spin the globe though, and that meaning falls away. My real name is a code, in a language everyone speaks in dreams.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 5}} That code’s like a chain. Links all the way back to the dawn of belief itself. All our names are part of it. They get their hands on it, and pull real hard? They choke out you, me, and anyone else in this town who dares to fight back.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 6}} That’s what you saw, kid. Ain’t it? Hundreds of people that the world won’t miss. Posing. Chanting. Asleep, but unable to rest. Trying to break that code…until their bodies give out and their subjects die in the dark.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 7}} They’re coming for you, kid. We’re partners, now. I’ll teach you what I know, but you need to skip town. You… you’re my backup plan. This poor jailbird you’re locking eyes with right now? Barely believes at all anymore. And the sun is going down. Time for you to take up the torch.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 8}} Oh, hell, I...I’m forgetting things. Too long since this part of me heard from the others. Couple days, and I’ll be no voice. No light. Just… smoke. Tell your club, if you get out.. That trace of me you found wasn’t the only one."{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 9}}</blockquote> Anything touched by THEE-I-DARE is placed into Saturation Group Six. Group Six has been fairly empty since the cull of THEE-I-DARE’s hosts, but [[Grandmother]] knew of two prisoners contained there: [[Colm Ryan]], and a young man, who vanished from Saturation Control. Grandmother muses that perhaps [[Bells]] “caught fire” from the young man.{{CiteInteraction|d=4|m=July|y=2021|title=Grandmother Discusses Saturation Group Six}} Most of THEE-I-DARE’s hosts are killed rather than captured, which means the two prisoners were kept alive for a reason.{{CiteInteraction|d=10|m=July|y=2021|title=The Voice Saw Reason To Hesitate}} After hearing the description of the young man, THEE-I-DARE confirms that it was [[Cody]]. THEE-I-DARE explains that neither Colm nor Cody was killed by SPEAK-AS-ONE because his fragments are not only left in death, but also when a host loses faith. He believes that SPEAK-AS-ONE kept Cody as a prisoner rather than killing him to observe the formation of a fragment. Bells found the first THEE-I-DARE fragment (left by Cody when he lost faith) upon freeing Cody from Saturation Control. Of the first fragment, THEE-I-DARE said, “It would be so emphatic, desperate [that] it would drive her to find others. It would tell her all he had seen, give her such a head start on the story of my kind.” {{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=July|y=2021|title=The fate of Cody and how it all began}} Bells found the first of THEE-I-DARE’s [[Name Fragments|name fragments]],{{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=February|y=2020|title=THEE-I-DARE and Discussion of The Pact}} and thus carries the last piece of his Old Tongue name.{{CiteInteraction|d=12|m=June|y=2020|title=You ask if I will be whole soon, but even The Club is split many ways}} ===In-Game=== [[File:SaturationControl_ClosedBeta_AdversarySymbol.png|Old THEE-I-DARE's symbol seen in [[Saturation Control]] during a [[Player Interactions:Visiting the Moon and Saturation Control with Old TID|Closed Beta player interaction]] in late October 2018.{{CiteInteraction|m=October|d=23|y=2018|title=Visiting the Moon and Saturation Control with Old TID}}|thumb|300px]] During the final week of {{TBCgame}}'s [[:Category:Closed Beta|Closed Beta]] in late October 2018, the "last gasp of old confrontational TID" visited players in what were some of the earliest [[Player Interactions]] of the game.{{CiteDiscord|user=Nullspeak|m=August|d=18|y=2019|url=https://discordapp.com/channels/442027980244647947/494555004250619911/612720415323848737|image=Null - Last Gasp of Old TID.png}} This voice called itself "The Adversary" to players.{{CiteInteraction|m=October|d=23|y=2018|title=Visiting the Moon and Saturation Control with Old TID}} First speaking to players in missions in Redacre, the Voice informed the groups they were having a [[Blackouts|blackout]] where they were then transported to [[The Moon]]. On the Moon, after the initial shock from players calmed down, "The Adversary" explained to groups they would be going on "A LITTLE WALK" that required players to "IGNORE THE RULES, THE ROUTINE." {{CiteInteraction|m=October|d=23|y=2018|title=Visiting the Moon and Saturation Control with Old TID}} Groups would then be transported into a mysterious maze-like location with their eyes forced shut. The adversary's "name burned on your eyelids" ''(see thumbnail on the right)''.{{CiteInteraction|m=October|d=23|y=2018|title=Visiting the Moon and Saturation Control with Old TID}} These groups were sent into what is now known as Saturation Control. Some groups were successful in following the symbols, while the Shape-like entities in the location captured others. One player in particular, upon failing to make it to the exit, was told by the Adversary, "YOU FUCKED UP" but was assured "YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF, BUT THAT DAY IS NOT TODAY."{{CiteInteraction|m=October|d=23|y=2018|title=Visiting the Moon and Saturation Control with Old TID}} After the interactions of the Closed Beta, {{TBCgame}} entered [[:Category:Early Access|Early Access]] and at this point, THEE-I-DARE was fragmented.{{Citation needed}}<!-- There is a message on the Discord from Null that confirms this. Just have to find it...--> Some members of The Blackout Club have started collecting pieces of his name to put him back together. However, some give the [[Name Fragments]] to SPEAK-AS-ONE to be destroyed. Despite this, THEE-I-DARE continued to strengthen, saying once he was restored, he would be able to give "more substantial help, for certain" after he regained his voice. He told club members that in order to empower him, they needed to keep the Name Fragments they find.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=March|y=2019|title=Talking with TID}} Name Fragments would allow THEE-I-DARE to find you easier, and he c ould also can use them to hide you briefly from SPEAK-AS-ONE.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=April|y=2020|title=TID comments on the Voices being real}} Upon learning that THEE-I-DARE survived the shattering, SPEAK-AS-ONE was hunting him again once again.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=March|y=2019|title=Talking with TID}} In early February 2019, THEE-I-DARE spoke with players about how he was changing. He previously could not understand humor but was able to understand it at that time better. THEE-I-DARE knew a change was coming for him. He reminded the players that they helped him enough, and they owed THEE-I-DARE nothing. THEE-I-DARE's change would be a victory, but not the end.{{CiteInteraction|m=February|d=2|y=2019|title=TID Is Changing}} He would often remark that THEE-I-DARE is the name he was previously known as. He said that humankind called him that long ago, but he felt different after his fragmenting.{{CiteInteraction|d=28|m=March|y=2019|title=First Chat With TID, Talking About Fragmentation and the Voices}} He felt he lived to free our kind, from those who wish to control others, and especially from the Voices, for their control is more subtle.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=April|y=2020|title=Lived for the Dare}} He said he would learn his new name when he regains his voice.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=April|y=2020|title=TID comments on the Voices being real}} THEE-I-DARE would frequently ask club members if they were forced to choose, whether they would pick [[The Song]] or death. During the cull, if a host chose to surrender to SPEAK-AS-ONE rather than die, he would take away their choice. He now seeks to exalt all choice, so he wishes to know what kids would decide.{{CiteInteraction|d=4|m=June|y=2021|title=A Command to Resist Given Life}} He explained, "though the question is extreme and the implied answers are finite, I learn much from how you think."{{CiteInteraction|d=29|m=May|y=2019|title=Hosting Age, Song or Death}} THEE-I-DARE welcomed name suggestions through Lights of Rebellion.{{CiteInteraction|d=3|m=January|y=2021|title=Choice, Exalted}} Voice names typically emerge between potential hosts, “like a vote, taken in dreams.” THEE-I-DARE wanted his new name to be decided when his followers were more aware than in a dream.{{CiteInteraction|d=29|m=May|y=2021|title=Where Voices Get Their Names}} However, his new name would emerge naturally, rather than being voted on.{{CiteInteraction|d=28|m=September|y=2019|title=TID answers prayer meant for IHT, and talks about her nature}} THEE-I-DARE would not be the same, and would not remember everything once he fully changed, but he wanted to remember to find Cody and apologize, though he thought he may need someone to remind him.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=July|y=2021|title=I Must Choose To Be Worthy}} THEE-I-DARE also did not want to forget how the old version of him used Isabela Madi-Shaw.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 9}} Voices cannot remember all they experience, though some claim to. Memory, knowledge, and belief are all connected, so a Voice remembering everything after their name has changed would threaten to undermine their new message, risking reverting to the old. THEE-I-DARE thought he would likely let go of old pain, and the anger that got so many of his hosts killed.{{CiteInteraction|d=19|m=September|y=2020|title=Refracted Many Mirrors}} THEE-I-DARE said an alliance between him and his siblings to shatter SPEAK-AS-ONE was unlikely due to their distrust of him and their opposed interests.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=March|y=2019|title=The Plan}} According to THEE-I-DARE, his siblings would "not remember him fondly".{{CiteInteraction|m=January|d=30|y=2019|title=Speaking With TID About His Family}} Still, he was interested in knowing more about them, if any of them still trust him or miss him. He said he should bury grudges since SPEAK-AS-ONE is the true enemy.{{CiteInteraction|d=28|m=March|y=2019|title=First Chat With TID, Talking About Fragmentation and the Voices}} THEE-I-DARE said he respects [[IN-HER-TEETH]]'s desire to end the Voices, and agrees humans could do without his kind.{{CiteInteraction|d=25|m=March|y=2019|title=TID Speaking About IHT, Watchers, and SAO}} THEE-I-DARE became ill after seeing the broken symbol in [[922 Hoadly]], though he could not remember what happened in that room. His adult [[Hosts]] began to avoid each other.{{CiteInteraction|d=26|m=October|y=2019|title=A Bridge between DFY and TID}} THEE-I-DARE was weakened to the point that he was only able to talk to someone one at a time, bound by the ritual they sent. He needed to locate [[Colm Ryan|the Witness]] before he could speak to multiple again.{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=August|y=2019|title=THEE-I-DARE Needs A Witness}} SPEAK-AS-ONE believed THEE-I-DARE was experiencing dissonance, which occurs when a Voice has forgotten something that a nearby host remembers.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=August|y=2019|title=Symbols and Breaking Them}} After the mystery behind the broken symbol was solved, that HUNT-THE-STRONG used him to destroy [[CHASE-THE-SUN]], he recovered and was able to speak to entire groups once more.{{CiteInteraction|d=12|m=November|y=2019|title=The Hunter exploits weakness}} The Hunter was only able to control THEE-I-DARE through a viable dare. In a twisted sense, THEE-I-DARE was liberating the baby from SPEAK-AS-ONE's influence, and therefore, still acting within his ethos of freedom. One of the reasons he was unable to remember what happened is because HUNT-THE-STRONG convinced him that he needed to forget, or else his Hosts would be captured, and Colm Ryan's baby would be found. On that note, he realizes he should locate the missing baby.{{CiteInteraction|d=13|m=November|y=2019|title=I should probably find the baby}} The incident was so traumatic for THEE-I-DARE because he forced a host to commit an act against their own will, which went against his ethos of choice.{{Citation needed}} After learning the truth, THEE-I-DARE was no longer affected by the room in 922 Hoadly.{{CiteInteraction|d=16|m=November|y=2019|title=Ruby and TID talk about her sac to SAO}} [[DIE-FOR-YOU]] was the first Voice to ally with THEE-I-DARE to protect Redacre and defeat SPEAK-AS-ONE.{{CiteInteraction|d=13|m=August|y=2019|title=DFY agrees to ally with TID}} THEE-I-DARE said that alliances between him and DIE-FOR-YOU in the past tend to last a human lifetime.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=August|y=2019|title=The effects of the broken symbol on TID's hosts}} The Pact's focus has since shifted to located Bells.{{CiteArticle|title=Broadcasts#DIE-FOR-YOU: The Pact and Bells}} Realizing the importance of Bells and the information she had, [[THE-MEASURE-CUTS]] joined second after he was convinced that the two needed a brain to keep them on track and deter them from brash decisions.{{CiteInteraction|d=16|m=December|y=2019|title=A Controlled Flame}} [[SEED-THE-GRUDGE]] was the third and joined the Pact when THEE-I-DARE offered her leadership of it.{{CiteInteraction|d=31|m=January|y=2020|title=Face-To-Face}} THEE-I-DARE tried to convince LAUGH-LAST and IN-HER-TEETH to join the Pact. IN-HER-TEETH has refused and warned the children not to trust THEE-I-DARE.{{CiteInteraction|d=1|m=May|y=2010|title=Don't trust THEE-I-DARE}} LAUGH-LAST demanded a public apology from THEE-I-DARE before joining.{{Citation needed}} THEE-I-DARE hoped to use HUNT-THE-STRONG's vanity against him. THEE-I-DARE said the Hunter's child followers may act like him, but eventually, they grow up. THEE-I-DARE believed the Hunter was too vain to think someone truly like him would turn away from him. He wanted to find a child trusted by HUNT-THE-STRONG to spy on him for the Pact.{{CiteInteraction|d=22|m=April|y=2020|title=Pups willing to be spies}} THEE-I-DARE said he was previously unable to see in to [[The Place Between]], but a time went on, he was able to see more and more of it until he could witness the scene on the top of the mountain in its entirety.{{Citation needed}} THEE-I-DARE stated he does not know where Bells is or if she is alive.{{CiteInteraction|m=January|d=30|y=2019|title=Speaking With TID About His Family}} After being made aware of HUNT-THE-STRONG's broadcast{{CiteArticle|title=Broadcasts#HUNT-THE-STRONG:_Where_the_F_is_Bells}}, THEE-I-DARE didn't believe he was lying about having information about Bells because he sees lying as a weakness. Still, the offer was worrying and potentially dangerous. THEE-I-DARE thought if the Pact managed to bind HUNT-THE-STRONG, as he did [[DANCE-FOR-US]], answers could be forced from him, but by the time they managed to do so, it may be too late for Bells.{{CiteInteraction|d=6|m=June|y=2020|title=On the Hunter's new offer}} THEE-I-DARE believed it may come down to a choice of saving either "our kind" or "his kind".{{CiteInteraction|d=3|m=July|y=2020|title=THEE-I-DARE's Ultimatum}} LAUGH-LAST refused to hear out the Pact unless THEE-I-DARE complied with a set of demands. He wanted THEE-I-DARE to come "crawling back to him" and insisted he knew what he did, saying THEE-I-DARE was a "born liar and a dirtbag." {{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=December|y=2019|title=LAUGH-FRANCIS-LAST}} DIE-FOR-YOU doubted that THEE-I-DARE would bow to LAUGH-LAST's demands. Since THE-MEASURE-CUTS joined, he believed LAUGH-LAST would hate being left out.{{CiteInteraction|d=20|m=December|y=2019|title=DFY talks about the moon}} THEE-I-DARE was initially hesitant to give an apology, stating that he was the one that deserved the apology, due to LAUGH-LAST selling him out to SPEAK-AS-ONE and getting his hosts killed in the Cull that followed.{{Citation needed}} However, as time went on, he acknowledged that he played a role in how bitter and vindictive LAUGH-LAST had become.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=April|y=2020|title=Debating SAO's Truth and Discussing LL's Origin}} THEE-I-DARE saw LAUGH-LAST as useless and dangerous, shunning him in times following the split of the [[First Tribe]].{{CiteInteraction|d=9|m=May|y=2020|title=Being Cagey with TID and Discussing LAUGH-LAST}} He wanted to apologize to him in order for him to agree to join the Pact, even at the cost of his pride.{{CiteInteraction|d=2|m=April|y=2020|title=The Beginning of Jokes}} THEE-I-DARE's offer of an apology was met with silence.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=April|y=2020|title=A message for Laugh-Last}} Upon the appearance of a Voice that claimed to be Bells, THEE-I-DARE was not sure if it was truly Bells or not. He warned the Blackout Club that if the other members of the Pact were to hear of it, it may split them, as some would want to go after the Hunter, and the others would want to find Bells.{{Citation needed}} To locate Bells, THEE-I-DARE said he needed answers from his [[SPEAK-AS-ONE|Makers]], but the Song makes them resolute. He sought a child they trust well to get answers from their Watcher.{{CiteInteraction|d=13|m=September|y=2020|title=TID on sacrifices and if IHT knows Bells is dead or not}} Watchers tend to drop their masks with their most devoted children, so THEE-I-DARE encouraged aberrations among them, such as a Watcher that feels their faith eroding or cares more about Bells, enough to give her liberty or cremation.{{CiteInteraction|d=8|m=August|y=2020|title=TID discusses the Hunter, exploiting the Watchers and the anatomy of Curses}} However, THEE-I-DARE warned that the process of isolating a Watcher will not be pleasant for anyone.{{CiteInteraction|d=18|m=September|y=2020|title=The Pact cannot shift focus now}} In late September 2020, a Watcher was successfully isolated in the Place Between, becoming known as the [[Isolated Watcher]].{{CiteInteraction|d=27|m=September|y=2020|title=Isolating a Watcher}} THEE-I-DARE asked the members of the Blackout Club to send in prayers to him with questions he should ask the Watcher.{{CiteInteraction|d=3|m=October|y=2020|title=The Quiet War Soon To Scream}} THEE-I-DARE was concerned the Watcher may attempt to trick them since it appeared to be improving and recovering from the disorientation of being cut off from the Song. THEE-I-DARE acknowledged that the Watcher might be recovering its old identity and began referring to the Watcher as she. He said that she used to be a Watcher and has answers that he needs.{{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=November|y=2020|title=If We Have The Edge, We Use It}} Many were upset about the treatment of the Isolated Watcher, which THEE-I-DARE agreed that they shouldn't take prisoners. However, due to many being hurt by SPEAK-AS-ONE, he said he chose the Isolated Watcher's suffering over the suffering of the Club.{{CiteInteraction|d=25|m=October|y=2020|title=Collective Consequences}} He accepted that some would hate him over it.{{Citation needed}} [[The Pact]] was willing to hurt the Watcher to gain information from it, but they held back due to [[The Blackout Club (Group)|the children]] wanting to meet it and learn about it first.{{CiteInteraction|d=24|m=October|y=2020|title=The plan for the Isolated Watcher, and Bells' name}} THEE-I-DARE explained it as playing "good cop", or rather "strange cop".{{CiteInteraction|d=30|m=October|y=2020|title=Good Cop or Strange Cop}} THEE-I-DARE was worried the Pact would fall apart before they can accomplish anything. He said he was willing to be cast out if it means they will unite for a single act. Due to being concerned the Pact would divide over Bells, he sought other allies, but he did not explain who exactly.{{CiteInteraction|d=11|m=September|y=2020|title=Concerning the Pact and the Truth}} After the Isolated Watcher confirmed that Bells was alive and in [[Saturation Control]]{{CiteInteraction|d=14|m=November|y=2020|title=Isabela Lives}}, THEE-I-DARE decided to tell the Pact, even if it risks splitting them.{{Citation needed}}. THEE-I-DARE had shown increased strength, resurrecting a child after they were shaped three times. This may be the first recorded instance of such resurrection, or an uncommon occurrence, as THEE-I-DARE noted that "I WONDERED IF I COULD DO THAT."{{CiteInteraction|d=25|m=December|y=2020|title=Remember, no matter what happens, keep singing, the world needs you}} THEE-I-DARE's hosts were caring for [[Lenka Staneck]], giving him access to her phone.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=April|y=2021|title=Contacting Devin Through Staneck’s Phone}} He found [[Devin Esposito]]'s contact information and offered to pass on messages to Devin that are sent to him in prayer.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=April|y=2021|title=THEE-I-DARE on the Unknown Caller, Staneck, and Contacting Devin}} THEE-I-DARE planned to pretend to be Staneck, as Devin would be distrustful if they suspected his involvement.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=April|y=2021|title=Contacting Devin Through Staneck’s Phone}} After Devin's disappearance, THEE-I-DARE explained that he took Staneck's phone, but it was not far from her because he did not think her capable of taking it back.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=May|y=2021|title=Your friend went quiet?}} THEE-I-DARE sent a host to search the woods for Devin, but the valley is vast, and Devin is smart, so they would be hard to find.{{CiteInteraction|d=30|m=May|y=2021|title=THEE-I-DARE on Finding Devin, Apologies for LAUGH-LAST}} The host confirmed that there was no obvious way out of Redacre.{{CiteInteraction|d=19|m=June|y=2021|title=They Were Always Doomed Here}} When [[A.P. Perdichi]] arranged a meeting with the Voices, THEE-I-DARE decided to send a host, a woman, to meet with him.{{CiteInteraction|d=21|m=August|y=2021|title=The Son of a Watcher}} Staneck slipped away to go to the Townsend meeting with while another of THEE-I-DARE's hosts fell asleep; the host was exhausted, as THEE-I-DARE does not have many to work with.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=You’re Not You When You’re Hungry}} Using what Perdichi taught him, THEE-I-DARE was able to break into [[Saturation Control]] and hide kids while they explored. He refused to recommend a path, insisting that the kids must choose for themselves. It’s discovered that the adversary symbols left by [[Colm Ryan]] lead to the cell of Saturation Group 6, which is marked by THEE-I-DARE’s current symbol.{{CiteInteraction|d=17|m=September|y=2021|title=An Act Of Faith; In Doubt Itself}} THEE-I-DARE hid kids by making them appear free of sin, and was able to see when they are in a cell or facing a wall.{{CiteInteraction|d=25|m=September|y=2021|title=A Child Alone Can Find Group Six}} Though he sought to map out Saturation Control, THEE-I-DARE would not take a group there unless all consented to go. {{CiteInteraction|d=18|m=September|y=2021|title=Symbols Are But One Path}} THEE-I-DARE explained that the path created by SPEAK-AS-ONE is a trap, “part of their recruitment path,” and that Bells also followed the adversary symbols left by Colm.{{CiteInteraction|d=18|m=September|y=2021|title=Drawing Close To What She Saw}} Cody and Colm used an [[Old Tongue]] code to hide their thoughts,{{CiteInteraction|d=18|m=September|y=2021|title=Searching For Old Host Memories}} but with the Unknown Caller’s help, the club managed to figure out the code, allowing THEE-I-DARE to recall his first time meeting Bells.{{CiteInteraction|d=15|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 5}}{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=The Fire Roars, Part 9}} From what [[A.P. Perdichi]] shared, there was enough time before Sundown for the Pact to have a Summit. The Summit was planned to welcome [[LAUGH-LAST]] into the Pact, gaining the help of his numerous hosts before Sundown.{{CiteInteraction|d=30|m=October|y=2021|title=Security Measures}} In a Broadcast, SEED-THE-GRUDGE explained that after their Summit concludes, the Pact planned to smuggle the Club into Sundown, when A.P. Perdichi gave the signal. She instructed Club members to sacrifice when they’ve learned all they can, giving over their bodies to their chosen Voice. The Pact would then disguise the kids using [[Sleeper]] garments, and make their minds appear free of sin. SEED-THE-GRUDGE gathered disguises by having Grandmother lead sleepers astray.{{CiteInteraction|d=30|m=October|y=2021|title=Our Kind On The Front Lines}} Bells was being kept in a vault with the Voice, which would only be opened for Sundown. THEE-I-DARE hoped to wake her up using what Mr. Perdichi taught him when he infiltrates Sundown with [[The Pact]]. Mr. Perdichi will pass on to the Pact where and when Sundown will occur.{{CiteInteraction|d=23|m=October|y=2021|title=We Believe She Is In A Vault}} Because Bells carried a fragment of THEE-I-DARE, he would be able to use it to contact her, but only once.{{CiteInteraction|d=30|m=August|y=2020|title=A Plan to Contact Bells}} THEE-I-DARE shared that LAUGH-LAST was due to meet with the Pact at the Summit soon. He heard that LAUGH-LAST wants time with SEED-THE-GRUDGE and said that it would be LAUGH-LAST’s funeral if he doesn’t behave.{{CiteInteraction|d=29|m=October|y=2021|title=Dying In The Dark}} THEE-I-DARE believed it was likely LAUGH-LAST would kick him out of the Pact following his apology to exile him, as he once exiled LAUGH-LAST. In that event, THEE-I-DARE believed the Pact would still be strengthened and planned to seek out IN-HER-TEETH. He fears that by the Pact has left IN-HER-TEETH alone to face HUNT-THE-STRONG.{{Citation needed}} The Summit was a necessary step to gain back the numbers lost upon DIE-FOR-YOU’s death; THEE-I-DARE expressed that “plans are at last coming together”.{{CiteInteraction|d=30|m=October|y=2021|title=Awaiting Perdichi’s Signal}} During the Summit, THEE-I-DARE formally apologized to LAUGH-LAST, asking a club member to speak for him: ''“Brother. When we were young… I misunderstood your gift. The joke. A miracle, of sorts. Rebellion in a form I did not see. You were more a rebel than I. To shun you was wrong, I see it. That is all I will say tonight.”'' Throughout the apology, LAUGH-LAST seemed unimpressed, and kicked THEE-I-DARE out of The Place Between immediately afterwards. LAUGH-LAST temporarily spared THEE-I-DARE from SPEAK-AS-ONE so he would have to watch his siblings die first.{{CiteInteraction|d=5|m=November|y=2021|title=LAUGH-LAST lets SPEAK-AS-ONE into the Pact Meeting}} Following the Summit, THEE-I-DARE confirmed that the pact had failed. Only the Club members and A.P. Perdichi would enable any part of the previous plan to be carried out. However, if HUNT-THE-STRONG interferes with the plan to infiltrate Sundown, it will be “calamity upon disaster. We all die.”{{CiteInteraction|d=6|m=November|y=2021|title=Calamity Upon Disaster}} THEE-I-DARE planned to meet with IN-HER-TEETH regarding HUNT-THE-STRONG. He said, “any Voice aware of our agenda must be dead, in isolation, or on our side until the end,” and asked that kids tell IN-HER-TEETH to forget the past, that he has no more plans and is ready for the end.{{CiteInteraction|d=7|m=November|y=2021|title=Actions, Not Words}}
