The Moon is a special location in The Blackout Club (game).
Description[ | ]
Players are sometimes brought to the Moon to speak with the Voices in a more private setting. Moon trips began during the Closed Beta in October 2018. According to IN-HER-TEETH, the moon is "A BLACKOUT. A SAFE PLACE."[1]
THEE-I-DARE says the moon may be an illusion created for us while the Voices puppeteer out bodies[2]. According to SPEAK-AS-ONE, the moon is a delusion, and says some die if they are taken there, as not all bodies can "withstand a coma".[3] SPEAK-AS-ONE also claims the Moon is "OF THE ENEMY".[4]
Pillars[ | ]
The pillars on the moon were not always present. In trips to the moon during the Closed Beta, the moon was a barren landscape devoid of pillars.[5] Five pillars were added in the beginning of Early Access that each showed a blue, glowing icon. A few weeks after the game's launch, a sixth pillar appeared on the moon (left-most pillar). This sixth pillar was unique in that it was colored red and was of an icon not yet seen before; it turned out to be the icon of CHASE-THE-SUN. After the death of DANCE-FOR-US, all pillars on the moon were replaced by a single pillar showing her icon.[6]
THE-MEASURE CUTS has referred to the DANCE-FOR-US pillar as a "sullied monument".[7] SPEAK-AS-ONE has described the pillars on the moon as referring to "LOST ONES" (Voices) who can no longer be found in Redacre.[4]
Red Moon[ | ]
The red moonscape has appeared twice during special Enhanced Horror events. It was introduced as the stage of DANCE-FOR-US's death at the hands of HUNT-THE-STRONG[6], and then after for DIE-FOR-YOU's sacrifice.[8] The red moon has often been regarded as belonging to HUNT-THE-STRONG.[citation needed]
History[ | ]
Before the Game[ | ]
In the early days of mankind, when they were simpler, they believed any god with great power cast the sun in to place. The sun became a symbol of many gods. When THEE-I-DARE broke away from SPEAK-AS-ONE, humanity became aware of the moon and how it reflects the light from the sun. They believed it meant the moon stole the light from the sun. It became a symbol of the Voices who broke away from SPEAK-AS-ONE. Light from one source turned in to a new sign and given new meaning, smaller but important. The moon was hidden in the sky by SPEAK-AS-ONE to stop people from remembering the other Voices.[9]
In-Game[ | ]
Players have been taken to the Moon as early as the Closed Beta. Old THEE-I-DARE, prior to his fragmentation when known as "The Adversary", took players to the Moon before sending them "on a little walk" in Saturation Control.[5] Players have also been brought to the moon to escape the distractions of Redacre and so the Voices and kid(s) can speak freely together.
With the combined cooperation of The Pact and The Blackout Club (Group), the moon is now visible from the sky.[10]
