    I hope somebody listened to this for the first time in a public place and said everything she told them to out loud to the confusion of the people around them

    I like that they play with the thin line between safety and peril, distress and relaxation in everything they do. I'm addicted already. Love their work.

    ...wow. It's disconcerting, esoteric, eerie, yet oddly comforting. Just how I like it. Hopefully stress vomit stains won't afflict you anymore.

    I love that if you assume that everything in Within the Wires and Alice Isn't Dead happens in the same universe as Night Vale, you can see a lot of cool links... Well done, Nightvale Team!

      Monstro City they've actually confirmed that none of these stories overlap, and that there won't be any crossovers. i feel like it's safe to assume they take place separately from one another.

      @@LunykStormdragon well it's fine , there doesn't have to be a big crossover , they could just take place in the same universe with the same rules , that could also have some cool advantages : you can have a cicumstance repeat itself in both series and show the difference and the similarities

    Now that I am caught up with Welcome to Night Vale I need to within to this, Alice isn't dead, and The Orbiting Circus.
    Also, after listening to this episode her voice reminds me of Cecil they are both so calm and relaxing that I just fall asleep.

    Really creepy but at the same totally relaxing oddly enough xD
    A very good combination of story and actual purpose of the cassette, it reinforces a lot the feeling of integration of the spectator to the story.
    Can't wait for the other tapes ! :)

    I started listening to this when my mom was fighting cancer. My depression was spiraling, but the exercises here actually helped me a lot.

    What I understand from this story is that the person listening to this is in some mysterious institution and has to hear these cassettes. I am used to hearing Cecil's voice, but Janine is as creepy as him.

    WIthin the Wires is wonderful and lovely, but I feel that a lot of my opinion on is based in previous experience and reference. For anyone who's experienced any of the Monroe Institute guided meditation pieces there's a strange dark satire from experience. Well performed, left mysterious enough for me to be interested in what makes this world tick.

    The way the speaker confirms to the listener that they are being observed and need to speak expected responces aloud is so creepy. The shoulder thing and telling them that they arent supposed to miss or even acknowledge the loss of whatever it is they miss is just ugh. Its super blatant but also weirdly subtle?

      Not really, when you're talking/ listening to people from Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand her accent is really very subtle.
      There are American (assuming you are, else substitute the country accordingly) accents/dialects way stronger than hers.
      That being said, of course you can and should be annoyed by whatever you like (or don't, I guess?) :)
