Gordon Delaney

**Gordon Delaney** is a major character from The Real Unreal. While married to Ruby Delaney, the two bought a home in Bolingbrook, Illinois where they raised their daughter, Carmen Delaney.

Though blind, Gordon is still masterful at playing the piano and is a key role in helping to find Jared Fuqua after he goes missing.

## History

Gordon was a touring jazz musician. He traveled the world and even recorded solo albums. His album, Moving Walls Beyond the Doors that was recorded in the 1990s can be found in Gordon's room in the house.

When it was time to settle down in Bolingbrook and be present for his young family, he turned to teaching music out of the small front room.

Records and touring photos cover the walls of his music room. In the master bedroom upstairs you can read letters that Ruby and Gordon wrote to each other over their relationship. Family photos line the walls along the staircase.

As they aged, Gordon’s eyesight began to fail and Ruby had to care for him. A few years ago, Ruby passed and Carmen moved home to care for her father and the house. Carmen’s lifelong friend LaVerne Fuqua has recently moved into the house with her son Jared.

In his older age, Gordon has contracted an unspecified illness that causes him to cough and feel weak.

## Trivia

* Gordon, initially, is the only other character besides Jared that can hear Happy Gary.
Agent 35

## Role:

This character is the agent assigned to analyse the house of eternal returning (HOER) and the participant can collect the evidence gathered through QR codes throughout the main house. This agent works for the charter and not much information is presented about them, however one can login to Agent 35's multiverse surveillance portal using the login page linked here in which the characters username appears to be "charter86" (the password is just "charteragent" which can be found in the source code) in which 86 is likely to be an important year, but this is just speculation. The charter seems to have an affiliation with the Society of Periferal Studies at https://www.peripheral.study/, which logs the evidence collected in the house when scanning the QR codes.
MineTech

A totally legal and unique video game enjoyed by not only modern children, but millions of people across the world. The focus on cubes is a simple and enjoyable experience aimed to relax and enrapture those playing.

In MineTech, players explore a blocky, procedurally generated, three-dimensional world with virtually infinite terrain and may discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and machines.
Emergence

“A creature dropped out of a black hole and implanted herself in a room. She slowly rots and digests the walls to provide sustenance for her new growth: eggs and flora. She's in a process of emergence and rebirth, destroying all that is inauthentic. Emergence is inspired by Jungian concepts of shadow work, 70's-80's horror/sci-fi, as well as world mythologies centering around goddesses who rule the underworld. Textures are based on microscopic imagery of mold, fungus, seeds, insect eggs, and plant cells.”

## Transcript

Grandad, I know you don't like talking about the experiment. I can feel you get guilty and sad whenever someone talks about science. It takes a long time to go away.

But you need to talk to Lex about Nimsesku. Lex is afraid, like you are, of the family getting old and going away. He thinks the hamster can help him fix that. He's mean to Nimsesku and he won't listen to me any more. Could you talk to him for me? He could get hurt.

Morgan

ps - Uncle Lucius misses you and I know you miss him too. You should talk to him. If you can fix that you can fix everything else in this house!

Christian Garcia

Personal Assistant to Master Lucius

The Charter

### Occupation

Personal Assistant to Master Lucius (formerly)Head of the Power of Positive Mechanics cult

## Appearances

### Debut

House of Eternal Return

**Christian Garcia** was the longtime boyfriend of Lucius Selig. He witnessed the birth of Portals Bermuda and stuck by Lucius’ side as long as possibly, before finally seeing what he’d become and betraying him to The Charter.

## Relationship with Lucius Selig

Lucius and Christian originally shared a happy and affectionate relationship. Though it’s unclear whether they got together before or after Lucius founded the Power of Positive Mechanics cult, Christian was his main advisor and trusted confidant, and they often fantasized about becoming rich and famous together.

One night, while Christian was asleep, Lucius mastered his power of wormhole generation, and stepped directly into Christian’s room in an attempted grandiose entrance, but his excitement ruined the surprise. Now fully inspired, the two began work on Portals Bermuda.

They travelled the multiverse together to gather ideas and understanding, before hosting an event to announce the new resort company. There were supposed to be only 20 people who show up, but time and again exactly 500 people filled the auditorium. Christian later deduced that this was due to Portals Bermuda having it’s own flow of time, out of sync with Earth’s. The attendees were visiting from the future.

As Charter agents began to infiltrate Portals, and Lucius fell into paranoia, Christian was the only person he would trust. Lucius stayed in the trailer (now located in the Murok-Inoo pocket dimension in HoER) for two full weeks, shifting its location to other dimensions every few days. Christian was the only one entrusted with the information of where the trailer would be next, and spent a long time talking to Lucius from outside the door, though Lucius would only respond with slips of paper.

The Charter, fed up with Lucius, approached Christian. Afraid of what Lucius was becoming, he agreed to give them the information he was receiving from Lucius, and agents were able to spy on him consistently. Eventually, they and Christian made a deal. If Christian could get Lucius out into the wild, they would be able to siphon his powers and shut down Portals, which was disrupting the fabric of the multiverse.

Under the pretense of a book signing, Christian coaxed Lucius into a crowd, where charter agents installed a psychic block that caused him immense pain whenever he tried to project. Christian left him a note briefly explaining why he betrayed him, but Lucius didn’t respond. After a few months, Lucius began trying to call Christian, though he never received any answer.

Christian is currently the head of the Power of Positive Mechanics cult, placed in charge of it by The Charter. It is unknown whether or not Christian still works with the Charter, but with how they are known to operate, it is most likely.

Herman Resources

**Herman Resources** is the automated HR for Dramcorp. It was created by Kazuhiro Matsumura as part of his initiative to fully automate Dramcorp. Herman can be found in the Dramcorp Office, and its office number is 376-307.

## Trivia

* Herman has Kaz listed as "Father" as its emergency contact in its HR file.
* Kaz appears to have tried to overwrite Herman's programming so that it favors him in workplace disputes.
Plotzo

**Plotzo** is a character known primarily from the arcade in the House of Eternal Return, for which he is a mascot. It is unclear if he is fictional even within the world of the Meow Wolf Story Universe. He is a punk rat who wears sunglasses and a leather vest. He leads the Juviegangers/Undermallers and Benji Geary has stated that they all live in a massive arcology ('architecture ecology', a term coined by architect Paolo Soleri).

At Convergence Station, you can see Plotzo—or an effigy of him—in the R@z Nest. Vend-L will tell you in a Recall Board message that Plotzo is "the big R@" who runs R@z Nest.
Kazuhiro Matsumura

"*Kazuhiro is all work AND all play. Where does he find the time you ask? It’s all thanks to his bold new vision of a maximum efficiency program called DIRE. Herman can vouch for him.*"
―Description, Dramcorp Website
**Kazuhiro Matsumura** is one of the Vice Presidents of Dramcorp, the other being Cecelia. His office number is 378-105. He is Walter Dram's chosen right hand man, and is often portrayed as having a contentious relationship with Cecelia. Kazuhiro is in charge of Dramcorp's automation, and developed both Reception Bot and Herman Resources. He speaks in a casual manner, often referring to coworkers as "dude" over email, and signing his name as Kaz.

## Trivia

* Kaz is suggested to be a germaphobe by several documents in the Dramcorp office.
* Kaz is listed as the emergency contact on Walter's HR file.
* Kaz is a subscriber to a magazine called Fancy Bros, as well as an attendee to their conventions.
* Kaz's name might be a reference to Metal Gear Solid's Kazuhira Miller, as a document in the Dramcorp office references Kaz wearing aviator shade, and the model mech in his desk is not dissimilar to a Metal Gear.

Date Added: Added during the Feb 2017 closure/renovations. Prior to the addition of the Infinity Spa this space was empty and the ice box door was locked.
Known Ciphers Used Across Meow Wolf Exhibits

**Zenion** - (wiki) Used primarily in Omega Mart, bits of Zenion appear in HOER and Convergence Station. Has been fully decrypted.

**Qscript** / **Quantum Script** - (wiki) A phonetic based cypher used as a sort of lingua franca across the Converged Worlds. Most signage within Convergence Station is in English and Qscript. This is also the script used in billboards advertising Convergence Station. Has been fully decrypted. A Qscript key is sold in the Denver gift shop.

**Foneng** - (wiki) According to a guide sold in the CS gift shop, Foneng was an *"early work around for cultures that didn't speak the same language... it's a kind of pidgin language blending QDOT's Quantum Script with other Convergence languages."* Very little Foneng is actually found within the exhibit although it has been fully decrypted, a key is sold in the CS gift shop.

**Eemian** -Used by the Eemian civilization and found mainly within Convergence Station. The Book Of Whales has passages written in Eemian. Has been fully decrypted. An Eemian key can be obtained from some actors within the exhibit, and a key is also sold in the Denver gift shop.

**Snurtle Script** - (wiki) Used mainly by the Snurtle, a trash truck on C-Street. Curiously a sign bearing Snurtle Script is found in Charlie's gas station in 7 Monolith Village within the Omega Mart exhibit. Has been fully decrypted by the fan Discord.

**Video Game Cipher**- (wiki) Little is know about this script, appears to be used mainly in two video game consoles within the Denver exhibit. Is a simple 1:1 letter cipher, but has not yet been fully decrypted due to lack of usefulness.

**Morse Code** - Numerous framed posters within Pizza Pals Playzone have hidden messages written in Morse Code on them, example below.

**Y'ruk** - (wiki) - Has eluded all attempts to decrypt it. Rune Zivai, one of the forgotten four from Ossuary, was half Y'ruk (ethnicity).

**C-Street Script** - (wiki) - Often confused with Video Game Cipher, the two are actually different. C-Street Script is found in poster and signs around C-Street and is currently unsolved.

**Night Market Characters** - Appearing only around the Night Market / Vendor Carts, this language appears to be character-based rather than letter-based. Unsolved, may just be decorative.

**ASCII Code** - (wiki) - Unknown what type of code or puzzle this is. Found around C-street. Full image can be found on reddit. Totally unsolved, may just be decorative.
Optic Drift

**Optic Drift is an Anchor Space and Location in The Real Unreal.**

"Optic Drift is a space for intuitive improvisation. An Escherian architectural statement in a liminal maze-like environment, it is designed to provide a blank canvas for artists creativity."

Front Yard (TRU)

*Front Yard may also refer to the location in HOER in Santa Fe. This article however is about the location in Grapevine.*

Front Yard is an anchor space in The Real Unreal

"The Delaney House sits quietly behind a low chain-link fence. A large maple is near the center of the yard with a bird bath and feeders around it. The sky is filled with twinkling stars. The House’s lights are all on.

The yard is full of bird feeders, pots, garden beds, and a large shed. It is deeply inviting. A light breeze blows through the space and garden scents (tomato plants, green scents, wet stone, earth, chili peppers) fill the air.

Should you be here? What happened here?"

## Projects

### Fecundity Found

“Fecundity Found is a beehive that is sprouting life – a nod to eggs and snakes with bee wings as leaves of a tree, thus Beeleafs in the Garden. But what came first: the will for life and existence, or the matter of existence? Or do the two exist outside of time, chasing each others' infinite tails?”

### Freggies

“The plants that grow in Carmen Delaney's garden are unusually delicious, abundant, and vibrant, as if imbued with a kind of magic.”

### Shed Portal

“Is time alive? The tools and the shed are becoming animate, a bike is sinking, pots are repeating and a portal has opened. The wood lost in time reverts to its previous forms. The Shed contains the Cannibal Log, created by Morgan and Eric Grasham, as well as a Square Hose, you never see one of those, created by Lance McGoldrick and Layne Duesterhaus. This work was creative in Grapevine and is a site responsive work.”

"This work consists of images derived from drawings I have made in a now-defunct iPhone drawing app. In this app, you draw with an ever-expanding worm and embrace controlled chaos while trying to make images. The drawings are then processed through Adobe Illustrator and end up being traced, and pattern filled in various ways…those patterns are then modified and then sometimes filled with patterns."

Brain Bean Sprouts

Grapevine uses an MMS text-message based system to provide gamification. This is a change from previous locations that use tap cards, which require complex computer networks and can result in bottlenecks within the exhibit and are more prone to going offline.

22\* "bean sprouts" are hidden around the exhibit, each sprout contains a hashtag which guests are directed to send to an MMS number via phone. Meow Wolf's system tracks how many hashtags a guest has collected, and when prompted with "#goodbye" at the end, the system generates a semi-customized end graphic representing all of the sprouts a guest has found during their visit called "Head Garden."

It's common for guests to "trade" hashtags in the lobby since finding all 22 in a single visit can be quite challenging.

\*As of November, 2023, some bean sprouts have been removed from the exhibit.

The system phone number is 972-736-7676

C Street

This convenient map posted on the wall by the C Line TRAM to C Street should help you find your way around C Street without any confusion.

### Location

Immensity

**C Street**, one of the four primary worlds within Convergence Station, was a former sanitation district of a greater city-planet called Immensity. It was pulled into The Convergence when one of the Forgotten Four stepped through the rift.

There are voting machines scattered throughout the area. Visitors can participate in a sort of arcade-minigame to vote for one of two candidates. A new mayor is elected every 20 minutes and is announced on a large screen. The reason for such a short term is due to Immensity's past as a capitalist dictatorship, which the inhabitants of C-Street do not want to replicate.

C-Street is also the stop-off for the C Line TRAM, making it most people's first experience with quantum travel into the Convergence.

## Attractions

* **Convergence Exchange:** The most convenient MEM banking solution on C Street.
* **Night Market:** Test the wares of the vendors.
* **Gremlin Symphony:** Experience musical wonders.
* **Mr. Corner Store:** The one-stop shop for all convenience.

LaVerne Fuqua

**LaVerne Fuqua** is a major character from The Real Unreal. She is the mother of Jared and Jerrica Fuqua and the best friend of Carmen Delaney. LaVerne is using her talents for business to help Carmen with the money side of her new gardening and spice brand, Ruby’s Garden. She spends her days working at the dining room table. They have formed a tight knit, loving found family inside the large home.
My First Studio

“The concept for this experience is to submerge the audience into the environment of my first studio, my childhood home. Growing up I was constantly drawing in my bedroom on sheets of college-ruled paper with office and school supplies. By the window sill, my mother had a lucky bamboo in a vase, and within that vase was a little beta fish. Along with the fish, one of my first pets was an iguana that was kept in a terrarium that I would constantly look at and draw, it was like I had my very own dinosaur. I was always interested in dinosaurs, having grown up on Jurassic Park and The Land Before Time, so they were constant subjects that appeared in my drawings as a kid.

When you’re a little kid, everything around you seems so big, but as you grow up, you realize how small things are. I want to subvert that and make these seemingly small moments large to adult eyes. This is my way of bringing people into my world and making the seemingly mundane exciting and vibrant.”

Lex Pastore

Lucius Selig (Uncle);

Piper Pastore (Mother);

Nicolae Pastore (Father);

Morgan Pastore (Sister);

**Lex Pastore** is a character in *House of Eternal Return*.

## History

Lex had a very close relationship to his sister Morgan. After the death of Jean Selig, he feared that Morgan would leave him, either by choice or from death.

Similar to his grandfather Emerson Selig, Lex had an interest in esoteric science and was gifted in engineering. The Charter would describe this to be Lex's creative-chaos power given to him by the Anomaly. He did experiments on Nimesku the hamster to test his immortality, believing that he can use the knowledge to ensure that he and Morgan stay together forever. However, Morgan stopped his experiments because he was hurting the hamster. Because of his intellect and interactions with Emerson, the Charter had listed him as an high threat to the balance of order and chaos.

When Lucius returned home with his powers lost, he encouraged Lex to find and study Emerson's notes on his past experiment to revive Nimesku. He instructed him to use the Transducer to give him back his powers, similar to how he accidentally got his powers during Emerson's experiment. The procedure didn't work; Lucius didn't get his abilities back, and Lex began fading away into the "fog space" until he disappeared.

On March 17, 2016, the family used the machines to get Lex back. This caused a major effect on the universe, in which the Charter had to intervene.

Later, in The Real Unreal, Lucius would reveal that he could see Lex still in the fogspace, confirming that Lex is still alive, albeit still lost.

Antoine

**Atonie** is the boyfriend of Carmen Delaney.

## History

Messages exchanged between Carmen and Antonie can be found on her iPad in the kitchen. The text messages outline the initial reunion of Carmen and Antonie before the two started dating and then follows the two as their relationship develops. In their conversations, the two discuss healthy approaches to supporting friends and family who are struggling while also acknowledging and respecting boundaries. This is both in direct reference to Carmen's support of LaVerne Fuqua and Carmen's support of Antonie.

In addition to text messages, images of Carmen and Antonie while out on a date can be found on Jared's computer in the study.

## Trivia

* The Delaney's House is filled with LGBTQ+ and trans pride flags as Carmen and Jerrica are bisexual and Antonie is transgender.
* A picture of Antonie and Carmen can be found pinned to the cork board in the study.
* Carmen and Antonie originally went to high school together before Atonie transitioned.
Alva

Alva in her Portals Bermuda uniform presenting a shopping destination.

**Alva** is a travel agent at Portals Bermuda in the original configuration of the *House of Eternal Return* and therefore works for Lucius Selig; she helped him to escape to the alien underworld when he was being hunted by the Charter, where she became sort of a folk hero.

A fortune telling vending machine inside Wiggy’s Plasma Plex was retooled to feature Alva as the fortune teller.

During the brief period that Meow Wolf's internal wiki was public, it was visible that an early draft of her character was named '**Alma**' ('soul' in Spanish). She is sometimes referred to as **Alva Hologram** or **Alva the Hologram** due to her preferred mode of telepresence.

Known mems at Convergence Station

Many of these memories can be randomly earned, while some specifically require an action or completion, what they are remain to be known. However, the video memories in the random loop have specific instances or events to earn them.

## Orphaned Numbers

There are several 4-digit numbers found around the exhibit, mainly in Gremlin Symphony, which are assumed to correspond with lost/forgotten/orphan mems. Those numbers are listed below:

* 5963 (written on a post-it note inside the theater box office concession stand)
* 4622 (found on an etched plaque among the junk in the Gremlin Symphony room; typing this recall code in at the Mem Exchange does nothing; the number appears invalid)
* 4653 (ibid)
* 4630 (ibid)
* 4650 (ibid)
* 4655 (ibid)
* 1325 (bus vehicle number of Pam's bus)
* 3932 (license plate on Pam's bus)
* 2465 (written on paper, encased in plastic)
* 1112 (written on paper, encased in plastic)
* 3369 (hand written on a post-it along with "remember!" )

Convergence Exchange / Memory Exchange

Also known as the "Pinball Room" or "Pachinko Room," The Memory Exchange is a room located on C Street. The room's most noticeable features are a series of giant pachinko machines along one wall called "SORT-A-MEM." Guests launch pachinko balls until a ball lands in one of several winning holes, which then causes the machine to flash lights and display a unique 4-digit code. Guests should take heed to remember the code since it has two uses:

   1) Code can be typed into a numeric keypad on a wall of white cabinets, doing so will cause one diorama to illuminate for a while.

2) Code can be typed into a Memport in the room, doing so will add a mem to your Qpass card.

The pachinko machines rarely work since they are often damaged by careless visitors and the maintenance staff seems to have given up on them. But they still sometimes flash memory numbers.
Macrodose

Macrodose is an installation in The Real Unreal created by Dan Lam. It features a floor-to-ceiling wall of what appears to be rainbow goo oozing out of the wall.

*"Macrodose is an awe-inspiring installation that intends to captivate visitors by stimulating their senses, creating an immersive environment, and expertly manipulating scale. Each component has been meticulously crafted to create a seamless and transformative experience. The textures are diverse, ranging from thick and bulbous to sleek and shiny, providing a satisfying tactile sensation. The lighting interacts with the sculpture, producing subtle movements and vibrant color variations. The ambient and meditative melody complements the lighting, resulting in a harmonious and enchanting soundscape."*[1]

## Trivia

1. The name *Macrodose* is likely a reference to the common practice of microdosing psychedelics.
Celestial Guardians

"The Celestial Guardians are a mother and daughter who provide protection to all adventurers that seek rest from the outside world. All who pass through their home are invited to connect this duo of goddesses.

Visitors can step inside the room and take a moment to relax while they view the mural that depicts the portraits of two women tending for each other. Otherworldly jewels and stars hang from their hair and invite the viewer to admire them more closely. Their hands protrude from the walls, hoping to embrace visitors. The sides of the room depict the guardians separately, seeking to be reunited with each other, thinking of past moments together.

Guests may lounge on an inviting soft bench that sits atop a custom floor graphic. The design on this graphic depicts the motifs of the microcosm where these guardians live, their secret language. Directly above the viewers floats a hanging mobile, with translucent stars and shapes dangling and reflecting the light around them, inviting those who visit to lay down and look at them as they turn.

This mural room is an exploration of the concept of family, specifically the relationship between mother and child. How the connections between people create a universe between them. The Home of Celestial Guardians seeks to bring all visitors the feeling of relaxation and warmth that they would feel when they are in the company of the people closest to them before they continue their journey through other spaces."

Earth Spirits of the Subconscious Mind

**Earth Spirits of The Subconscious Mind**: As the Earth holds the sacred memories of the indigenous Earth keepers, guides, guardians, and spirit, it also breathes-whispers into the other realms. Reflecting in the eyes of its inhabitants, this Earth womb holds the ancient memories of the ancestors and transports us to look at our ancient selves. ~ Cal Duran

An exploration and physical manifestation of energy, sculpture, color and light using a technique called Abstract Imaginism. Here, the primordial earth has manifested the spirits of life and death as well as the spirits of those who came before us. As you travel through this realm, sounds of the four elements pulsate and echo throughout the space while the ancestors greet you. From the portal up above, the corn universe cast its energy with a kaleidoscope of colors representing the many dimensions of our existence. ~David Ocelotl Garcia
