Abandoned House

The **Abandoned House** is a significant location in ECKVA. It is a derelict property, not appearing to have been inhabited for some amount of time. Containing no visible furniture except for a small table and possibly a broken TV console, it is mostly empty. As is common with many abandoned properties, the house appears to have been vandalized, with many windows broken and holes smashed through the walls. The house is located in a forested, rural environment, surrounded by a partially-kept, overgrown lawn before transitioning to the treeline. A gravel road can be seen leading up to it.

The house is owned by SHawkins, having inherited it "several years" prior to 2017. It appears to be unfit for habitation, with the roof looking rotten, many windows broken, and ceilings peeling, among other things. They claim to not have the money to repair the house. Set up in a room adjacent to where they enter the home from is their "setup", A laptop connected to a JVC 3040 portable analog television and Tecsun PL-880 triple conversion reciever.

Electricity is still able to run at the house, in spite of very old, decaying wiring.

## In The Series

Throughout the series, small changes can be observed inside the house. Notably, a "For Sale" sign can be seen in the former kitchen in ECKVA6, but is moved to an adjacent room by ECKVA9. In addition, between the two episodes, the sealed fireplace next to SHawkins' setup appears to have been forced open, although this could be attributed to out-of-universe vandalism. Next to the door they enter through is a window, appearing to be broken from the inside. On the Twitter Account, according to SHawkins, the window was not broken prior to ECKVA6.

ECKVA5 is possibly its first appearance, a shot of what could be the window to a small room adjacent to the room with SHawkins' setup.

In ECKVA9, a small envelope from The Broadcaster is found stuffed inside an outlet socket, containing a single Preaxin pill and an index card with a note reading as follows:

On the front,

DATABASE 452 ACTIVE

On the back,

The discovery of this note is followed by a banging sound in another room, which SHawkins investigates, although they find nothing of note.

   In ECKVA11, a stylized depiction of the house can be seen. The same depiction can be seen in ECKVA18.

In ECKVA12, the door that is usually entered through is removed from its hinges, but placed back in its spot in the door frame. SHawkins' setup is found missing, the only remnants of it being the bottom half of the laptop with the home key, both control keys, the escape key, and E, C, K, V, and A keys missing. Upon discovery, the same banging sound can be heard from another room, and upon discovery, they are attacked by The Interference and, presumably, The Broadcaster.

A crude, ASCII-styled layout of the house is featured in ECKVA13 and ECKVA17, viewed in Arklistener.

## History

Most of the history of the house is unknown, but it has been owned by SHawkins since October 13, 2016 at the very least. It is claimed in ECKVA6, uploaded on March 9, 2017, that they inherited it several years prior, and had discovered the ECKVA Network broadcast while cleaning the house out, presumably removing old furniture or litter.

The house is possibly the location of the "abandoned property" that the authorities were led to during the investigation of Elizabeth Steiner's disappearance.

## Layout

The house's layout appears to differ significantly from its depiction in Arklistener. It possibly contains a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, and two bedrooms, although this is up to speculation. It has two chimneys, and two porches, in front and in back. The exterior siding is painted a pale, faded blue, with much of the paint chipping or cracked, and a Yagi antenna is visible on the roof in ECKVA6.
