Armed with only a tightly woven net, a few empty jars, and a sharp, toothy grin, Balthazar stalks and watches his prey through the camouflage of leaves along the shadows late at night. The Faeries, unaware of Balthazar as he enters their precious realm, stand guard in the trees. Their little city was full of life and joy. Balthazar cleverly cloaked himself in their midst, becoming a shadow among them, a dark ghost. They didn't hear or see him, as they were all carelessly fluttering about like Faeries often do. Suddenly, the hair on his back rises, his eyes turn red, his sharp teeth reflect the moonlight, and, with a leap and a swoosh of his trusty net, he bags several prize Faeries at the same time. The lucky ones flee as fast as they can to the tops of the trees. They can only look on and wonder who this beast is.

"Ahhh, all of you will bring me great fortune," he says, looking through his net, "not to mention the great pleasure of watching you struggle to free yourselves from my tightly sealed jars." Quickly, he pinches them by the wings and holds them above his open jars. One by one, he drops them in before the Faeries even know what happened. The trapped Faeries try to shake the confusion out of their wings whilst they look up at the evil, greedy grinning Balthazar. Each Faerie takes a deep breath as the Lupe seals the jars ever so tightly.

"Don't worry, my little winged friends," he says without feeling, poking a few air holes into the jar lids with his claws, "this should keep you alive until I sell you back to Neopia. You will make me very rich. You all will...." He opens his leather satchel to reveal several other Faeries that he had already caught on his hunt. "You all will make me very rich. Muahahahaha. Don't worry, you will fly again... and we will meet again. Don't you worry...."

As he turns to go, he stops and looks up into the trees that are twinkling with the Faeries that escaped his net. He lets out a long, echoing howl, frightening the Faeries once more. "I prowl through the darkness, hunting all of you. There's no use hiding.... Your fate is sealed in my jars!" Balthazar knew he was done for the night, sensing that the Faeries were vanishing deep into the forest. Showing them where they belong, he told them what they needed to know--he is a Lupe that hunts through the night, ever on alert for a Faerie's fading light.

Secrets everywhere...

Strong Sad keeps a box of memories under his bed. Inside the box are four objects: a film reel, a snow globe, a framed picture, and a homemade birthday card written by Lil' Strong Bad to Lil' Strong Sad. Below are descriptions of the four items. This page is found in a link from the user profile on Strong Sad's Lament.

The Film Reel

{Lil' Strong Sad standing around outside in autumn with a scarf on. He waves to the camera. Lil' Strong Bad jumps out of a pile of leaves and chases Little Strong Sad. Zooms in on their heads, Strong Bad jumps on top of Strong Sad and starts giving him a noogie. They both start laughing. The film repeats.}

Snow Globe

The snow globe contains a pink-haired troll doll standing on a snowy tropical island. The snow globe is labeled "You're Number 1."

Picture

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • The box is labeled "fond reminiscences."
  • The tree in the movie is used in the Halloween toons.
  • Originally, this could only be accessed by emailing Strong Sad (depressio@homestarrunner.com). Strong Sad would reply with the link, regardless of what one's email read. To access it now, you need to go to Strong Sad's Lament, click on his profile, and click on the word "none" in the pop-up that appears.
  • This page came out later as an Easter egg in the DVD version of depressio.

Remarks

  • This shows that Strong Bad may have once been nice to Strong Sad.
  • Strong Sad has a belly button in the video and picture, telling us that this took place after Little Strong Bad got his electric drill (as seen in origins).
  • Using the Tab key, it is possible to open up more than one thing at a time. The snowglobe is always on top of the card and the picture, and the card always ends up on top of the picture. The movie is on top of them all. When the snowglobe is open (along with other objects) and the movie is opened, it covers up the snowglobe. When the movie is closed, the snowglobe disappears, even though the other objects are still there.

Inside References

  • The snow globe could be a reference to the commentary from the Yello Dello DVD, where Strong Sad mentions when he wore an old T-shirt at school that said "I'm #1."

Real-World References

  • The shirt that Strong Sad is wearing in the photo is the same one worn by Charlie Brown.
  • The URL of the site is a reference to The Wonder Years, a well-known late 1980s–early '90s coming-of-age TV show starring Fred Savage and Danica McKellar.
  • The name of this cartoon is a probable reference to the chorus of the 1980s-era song by The Romantics, "Talking in Your Sleep," which has the lyrics:
    I hear the secrets that you keep
    When you're talkin' in your sleep
  • The name for the Flash file of the movie reel is super8.swf. Super 8 is a film format created in 1960 and released 1965 by Kodak.

Fast Forward

  • It is revealed that Strong Sad keeps his DNA evidence in the very same box in DNA Evidence.
  • Li'l Strong Sad is later seen wearing his Charlie Brown shirt in the paper.
