Travel Arc

A map of Daniel's travels throughout the arc.

The Travel Arc refers to a period of time during which Daniel Larson traveled across the country. This lengthy arc coincides with the Homeless Era, and was in part caused by the December 10th Incident and Second Housing Arc.

Daniel first traveled by plane from Colorado to Los Angeles, California, where he remained for a few weeks. He then took a Greyhound bus to Las Vegas, Nevada (starting the Las Vegas sub-arc). After about one month in Las Vegas, he took another bus across Arizona, stopping in Phoenix, Tucson, and Benson along the way. Daniel then traveled through Texas, with the goal of making it to Houston. He stopped in El Paso, Big Spring, Sweetwater, San Antonio, and finally, Houston. While in Houston, Daniel's then-manager IWishIHadADad, bought him a plane ticket from Houston to Newark, New Jersey. He then made his way to New York City, starting another sub-arc of the Travel Arc. After some time in New York City, Bob bought Daniel a plane ticket back to Denver, Colorado, thus ending the Travel Arc.

Los Angeles

A couple of Community posts from December 10.

In late 2022, Immediately following the December 10th Incident, Bob purchased a ticket for Daniel to be flown to Los Angeles, California on the last flight out of Colorado Springs that day. It was heavily speculated by the community that he would be institutionalized in California due to the 5150 laws, allowing for the involuntary psychiatric hold of individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. Little information was given following his arrival. When Daniel first arrived in Los Angeles, he had no luggage or belongings.

In LA, Daniel would be spotted at a strip club on the 6th of January, despite claiming multiple times to not have any money. Daniel also visited Scientology centers, and considered enrolling in college. According to Oxis, Daniel, post-Scientology center visit, was convinced that the Illuminati was after him.

In some YouTube community posts from this time, he would also claim that he wanted to drop his disability services and that he had no control over his life, while claiming the next day that being in California meant "[he could] be in control of [his] own life".^{[citation needed]} On December 17, 2022, Daniel would successfully host a fan meetup, having six people visit him on Hollywood Boulevard.^{[citation needed]}

During his stay in California, he was speculated to have spent at least 125 days with the same clothing on. This, paired with no showers & frequently sleeping in porta-potties and garages, was a catalyst for Daniel eventually contracting scabies. Scabies is a disease where mites burrow deep in your skin and cause intense itching, typically contracted when one has poor hygiene. Daniel often roughly scratched his skin to relieve the itching, but his dirty fingernails only made the situation worse. Finally, Daniel went to the emergency room, where he was officially diagnosed with Scabies. He was prescribed an $80 lotion, but instead used his money to buy stocks and desserts at fancy restaurants.^{[citation needed]}

Disneyland, and further scabies trouble

On January 17th, 2023, Daniel was able to enjoy a day at Disneyland due to increased amounts of donations from fans.

Daniel had been hanging around downtown Disney all morning, all the while spreading his newly contracted scabies. Because scabies is a very spreadable disease, members of California became concerned about the public health threat Daniel was imposing. Warnings of Daniel went viral on Facebook, and members of his own community became concerned with the possibility of a deep infection, as well as his pedophilic tendencies. While at the theme park, Daniel uploaded many videos detailing his day. It started with a video claiming that he will need to collect donations for a $50 tour that was available in the park. He later got a churro and ate it in front of a merry-go-round.

The climax of the Scabies Arc began in late January of 2023. Daniel posted an ominous video of him having extreme itchiness due to the bugs living in his skin. His scratches were so ferocious, he caused himself to bleed severely. Within hours, Daniel sought medical help at an emergency room again, this time receiving a shot of Ivermectin and getting a washcloth bath from a nurse.^{[citation needed]} As a result of the drugs being injected into himself, Daniel made a goodbye post to the creatures that had been living under his skin for the prior month, creepily laughing.

Following this visit to the hospital, Daniel did end up getting a new t-shirt, and symptoms died down.

Return home

On May 20, 2023, months after first having begun his travel arc, Daniel finally secured a plane ride out of New York City. This came after being deceived multiple times with false promises of transportation to various destinations across America, including a supposedly all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World courtesy of, "Justin Bieber." Daniel documented the flight with TikTok slideshows and also shared it with Reddit user scnyc who captured some photos of him. Upon landing in Denver, Colorado, he shared a video in which he gave a heart-felt, "Finally... I'm back home," blowing a kiss to the camera. Later that night, Daniel posted photos of some drinks, claiming to be enjoying dinner with Bob at Olive Garden. This is where the Travel Arc ends, and the Cameo Arc officially begins just days after.
