I didn't watch the vid, I read the transcript.
And it got me thinking...
Some of us with good voices should try and see how WE can do better! Could be fun
Btw, people talked about Free Will and such, and I say this could be a form os psychological torture that falls under the jurisdiction of free will. (Sorry if I'm rehasing points; I want to type this before I forget.)
Cults
Cults tend to push members to or beyond their physical breaking points to brainwash them. Denying a person sleep is a legitimate form of torture. When cults have the person right where they want them, they're able to say later "we didn't do much; after being awake for just a little bit, they were BEGGING us to let them stay...". It's like getting them drugged or something; all you're doing is getting them into a state of compliance, though you don't have to say "I command thee, Bree to do the cerremony!"
... O.O... sorry for the rhyming, guys...
And after getting them into this state of compliance, all you have to do is make gentle suggestions; no forcing. I have sisters who sleeptalk and sometimes sleepwalk and I don't force them; I just tell them "Sweetie, shouldn't you be in bed?" and they think it over for a second and go back to bed.
The bathroom could have been before the staying awake torture, or to rush things, they could have drugged them for transport, then woken them up and not allowed them to sleep off the drug; a very quick way to get someone uber-drowsy, no?
I dunno if they did this in the vid (again, only read the transcript) but what if they took a woman's voice and slowed it down? I think those types of voice altercations can be uber-creepy (especially if they show it's a woman, like, back of the head or her hands).

What's annoying me about this video are mostly two things:
- It's another case of "illogical video" - why the hell would anybody post this? If BD&J had posted this, it would include footage of Jonas punching Mr. Scary Voice in the face and them all escaping. If it was a report from an Order-Interrogator to his superiors, he'd either show the entire footage, or only relevant parts - meaning no footage of Daniel trying to wake up Jonas, and no footage of them just drunkenly almost falling asleep. And most definitely not such a "dramatic" ending. The video as a whole, in its concept, just doesn't make sense.
like the create-a-trons said, videos like this are to give us a bigger view of the story; sticking to the "only-see-what-people-decide-to-talk-about" gets VERY limited.
[*]And then there's the oh so scary voice. It's just
passionless. Not authentic. An evil scary g-man who just drugged three people up and abducted them - and what do we hear? An indecisive, defensive, semi-evil voice.
Simple example: At around 60% of the video, Daniel asks "Who are you?".
As an evil cult-agent who's totally in control of the situation, and wants answers NOW, you'd firmly say "That is of no interest to you!".
...what does Daniel get? "That's...not...important." Oh. Scary. It almost sounds like The Voice doesn't even know how to react to that question. As if he hadn't taken into account his abductees might actually ask questions back. It's just ridiculous. It destroys the atmosphere. The idea of a distorted voice from the dark in itself is kinda campy, but it could have worked - if executed right. But this is just...bad. It's more like P.Monkey playing a prank on them than a threat to their life and the breaking of Bree's will.

See my above suggestion of new voice casting.
Oh, and by the way, bravo on the P.Monkey twist!!!! X-D

That is interesting
A for Apprehend, now P for Psychological torture
H could be phase three
O.O Oh goodness ME that's good!!!! Some people say The Order is short for The Order of Denderah, but we all know the religion is a crock, so why should the title be the same? Why let low-level people who think it's a religion know any of the same things the higher-ups know? I've always wondered "what if it's The Order of the Aphid"
this could also back up the idea that not only is Oppy a fraction of the Order, but each fraction has their own specialties. Oppy's APHID seems more espianoge (what do those words have to do with? mainly spies and information) where these words have the potential to be much more brutal.

O.O omg; did Jonas appear b4 or after Oppy??
....what if Jonas was the fan who got intrigued by Oppy and agreed to lure Bree to be in a fun game while meeting the girl he thought was cool on some random youtube vids?!
TiNaG, people.
