Anyone other than me see what happened to slendy over at White Elephants? Him turning into a mass of tentacles and other crazy things when hit with 2.5 to 3 million amps of electricity is both awesome and frightening. He came here after that little episode. He looked shaken and he was just barely managing to keep his tentacles from going crazy again.
He actually fell over in the kitchen and was on the floor almost...panting. It was extremely strange seeing him so weak. Taben could feel it too, I guess. He ran into the room wild-eyed and demanding to know what happened. I was all for just leaving slendy on the floor but Taben insisted we help him into one of the chairs.
God...slendy was so...human. The Slender Man, a terrifying abomination and affront to all natural life on this planet who plays with humans before murdering them brutally like a cat does with a mouse, had to have us help him into a chair and was then doubled over and shaking.
He could just barely keep his physical form intact. Parts of him were flickering almost like a candle flame does. Other parts of him, like his tie for example, where squirming violently. His head would randomly twitch and shake in a fashion very akin to what Valtiel from Silent Hill does. It certainly freaked me out.
This is where the shit hit the fan. It appeared outside the window and was almost...mocking slendy. I couldn't hear what It was saying (and I never want to), but slendy clearly could. He went apeshit and so did Taben. I had to hold him back while slendy struggled to get up.
Me (to slendy): "You idiot, don't go out and fight it! The way you are now he'll rip you to shreds."
He looked at me for a moment, tilted his head, and then, out of nowhere, someone whom I can only assume was a proxy appeared. He kneeled before slendy and without a second thought slendy picked him up by the neck. Slendy turned so he was facing away from us and we were treated to a very loud crunching sound accompanied by the proxy's cries of pain, followed by an ominous silence. When slendy looked back at us, he was covered in blood and still holding the proxy's headless body. He then vanished and so did It.
So that's great. He does eat humans. I can only hope this is like...an indulgence he only does once in awhile because he's afraid he'll get fat or something. I'm sure he only does it in times when he's extremely weakened.
I'm still working up to telling Chas about being a proxy, by the way. Hell, I don't even know if he's done with his whole "slendy isn't real I'm just crazy" thing. We'll see, I guess.
What the fuck? I'm almost...scared. I mean exposed to enough electricity he can...die, but it scares me. Like it's not supposed to happen, I'm all for one when it comes to ridding the world of him but when I find out you CAN....It just doesn't feel right. I don't like this, and I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteWe all have to eat to survive. The Slender Man is no different. It could have been one of us that He decided to feast on. But He did not. To wish death on Him is to wish death on everyone on this Earth.
ReplyDeleteWe need Him. He is our being and we are His. I don't think anyone realizes how much of a necessity He has become. Human life would waste away with out him. We are a plague. Without Him we would be over running and destroying the Earth. He brings balance.
Ridding the world of him is, indeed, NOT right in any sense of the word.
I agree with you that we shouldn't try to kill him now since we need him to help us out with It. I can especially see why you'd think that after all that's happened. The rest of that though...I'm not too sure about it.
ReplyDeleteI'd only read one other story where slendy had eaten someone. I guess it was just surprising to actually see it happen...
Trust me Malkin, we need Him. The world would shrivel and die and disappear without Him. I'm not just saying this because he's the one that I look to. I'm saying this because it's the Gods' honest truth.
ReplyDeleteTaben, why exactly do we need Him? Humanity is horrifying enough on its own without creepy tentacled shadow men. Also, Malkin, be ready to kill him when you no longer need him. The enemy of my enemy won't stay my friend after our common enemy is gone.
