It feels weird

Hey guys. So...I'm a Revenant now. It feels, as I stated in this post's title, weird. I can sense everything in my surroundings and I have super strength and healing abilities just like I should. The only downside is, of course, the hypersensitivity. You know, all the typical stuff Reach first told us about the Revenants' abilities. I knew you'd be able to do it, Ai!

I had to test all this out, of course.

Test 1: being able to sense stuff
 I had to have Aiden leave my general vicinity for this one. Once I was aware I was a proxy I could sense his presence anyway. With my new awesomeness, I went outside and could sense all the bugs around me, I could feel Chastin inside with Ai, and I could feel all of our cats upstairs. It feels kind of how it did being inside the Path of Black Leaves. It's pretty cool. It'll definitely come in handy whenever any "undesirables" (as I will call pretty much any of the paranormal entities that inhabit this world and their servants to keep things short) are around. I also noticed that It was watching me from the woods during this test.


Test 2: Super strength and speed
 God, this makes me sound like some super hero. No, it isn't to that extent. I can't like...pick up buildings or run around the house three times in only 10 seconds or anything outlandish like that. The one thing I noticed immediately is that my reflexes have been enhanced a ton. I had Chastin throwing stuff at me as hard as he could and I was able to avoid or catch all of it. I didn't actually get to try out the super strength thing. I was too afraid to. I remembered Andromeda's most recent post. She had been able to disembowel KK's sister with her bare hands. I noticed this same thing today and it scared me. I was holding Chastin's hand and some small part of me knew that I could rip his arm off with a little effort. I need to be extremely careful from now on and train myself to understand how strong I am so I don't hurt anyone.

Test 3: Enhanced healing abilities and hypersensitivity
These two got to go together because I figured them out simultaneously. I had Chastin cut my arm and it healed within a matter of seconds. It hurt like hell though, more than it would normally (I've had a knife buried in my leg before, if you'll recall, and just having my arm cut the way I am now hurt ten times more than that did). This is greatest weakness of a Revenant. Hypersensitivity pretty much means that life is out to get you.

Seriously. Loud noises make me double over in pain, little cuts hurt way more than they should, strong smells give me headaches, and I got a rash on my arms from just existing. It's horrible. I mean, it's good for all the Runners out there since they can use the hypersensitivity against Revenants to save themselves, but it's not fun when you are a Revenant. Reach didn't seem to have this many problems from what I gathered, so hopefully I'll become less sensitive as time passes.

Naomi, it'd be cool if you could still send us the blood from the other Revenant. I don't know if mine will work the way it should since I wasn't created by slendy himself. You know, just as a precaution. We're in Ohio.

Now, I've been thinking and I'm pretty sure the addition of the Revenant's blood to a proxy causes the proxy's body to reject it immediately. It's similar to how the body would react if the blood entering it were the wrong blood type or the way it sometimes treats transplanted organs. The Revenant's blood must make the body's immune system freak out and fight back. The slender substance that is put into proxies to make them such must be similar to an immunosuppressant. In other words, the proxy's immune system is basically shut down to keep it from trying to fight off the foreign substance. The Revenant blood, however, somehow keeps the slender substance from shutting down the immune system and allows it to fight back.

If I recall correctly, there's a lot of vomiting involved while the slender substance is being forced out of the body and the person will be sick for a few days after the injection of the blood. 

Now all that's left is to find Taben. I cannot wait to try my new powers out on some It proxies.

Let's Make This Clear

I know everyone thinks me becoming a Revenant is a bad idea, but those saying I shouldn't don't seem to understand...I'm already a proxy. Becoming a badass proxy will not change my situation.

Aiden is a hatchling, a human with slendy's powers (or something along those lines). Slendy will not be turning me into anything and I'm not his proxy, I'm Aiden's. I know it seems weird but this is how it is and it's why I'm so confident that my plan will work.

KK, Naomi, you'll have to forgive me if I didn't fully explain things. I don't actually know if the reason you guys don't want me to do it is because you think I'm still a human or if it's because you think I shouldn't go in any deeper than I already am.

Naomi, if Aiden is unable to give me the powers of a Revenant then it would be awesome if we could get some blood from your friend. Thanks so much for your help.

KK, if you're not ok I'm going to be severely angry with you. I wish I could've done something to help you and I'll do anything I can to help in the future. 

Maybe this explanation was unnecessary...I'm sorry if that's the case. I just don't know what else we can do regarding Taben and I don't want people to worry about me. 

Also, no, I have not told Chas yet. I don't think he knows about what Aiden is and what he can do and I'd rather ease him into this whole thing slowly. He's still taking in the fact that slendy's real, after all. I don't think he really looks at this blog anymore, otherwise he'd definitely know by now.

Finally, I'd just like to say that slendy can be a whiny little bitch sometimes and it's both funny and annoying at the same time. Seriously, he acted like it was our fault that Taben was abducted by It today. Ai, you should just tentacle slap him one of these days. That would be awesome.

Revelation

I spoke with KK Collins, the new girl at White Elephants, today. It was cool to chat with her and I wish her lots of luck as she prepares to rescue her sister.

She revealed something to me about Ava's use of a mysterious liquid to remove the slender substance from a proxy's body and make them normal again that I missed. Well, Ava's liquid was Reach's blood. The blood of a Revenant. So this is lovely. We know what we can use but we have no Taben and no source of blood.

Ai, I think it's time we did what I suggested a few posts ago. I'm sure you recall my discussion with slendy on the making of Revenants and how he can use any proxy to channel the power of the Other Side. Well, I'm fairly certain, Ai, that you could do that to me. It might not last long since you don't have a huge amount of control over your powers, but if we can do it long enough to take some of my blood maybe we can use it to save Taben. I remember Ygg saying he couldn't make Revenants at all, but all you have to do is use me as a conduit for your power for a few minutes and the conditions will be right.

The other option is to goad It into sending a Revenant of Its own creation at us and try to subdue him or her long enough to take blood. That, however, sounds more dangerous than it's worth.

So yeah, now we know. It's definitely worth a shot and thanks so much to KK for suggesting it (wow...KK, your name reminds me of KK Slider from Animal Crossing...I am a nerd).

Now the only problem is finding Taben...

Yeah, wish us luck on that.

Edit:

I just finished looking over Ava, Jeff and Cheska, and Chester and Vivi's blogs. They all confirm what KK told me. This should be interesting.

I'm feeling conflicted

I asked slendy about becoming a Revenant last night. I'm going to go ask Aiden about it now. I wanted to hear both sides of it. I figured slendy would have at least informed Ai on the making of proxies so I'm thinking Ai will be able to tell me if slendy lied at all about the information he gave me.

Slendy told me the other day that he's always watching me. Well, he wasn't lying. I was in bed with Chas just thinking and suddenly I see a shadowy shape out of the corner of my eye. I sit up in a panic and there's slendderp, looking down at me. I was surprisingly relieved when I saw it was slendy. I had actually been afraid that it was It...that It had broken its truce once again and actually come inside to off us. Its kind of amazing how easy it is to tell the difference between Slender Man and It.

Anyway, we had a lovely conversation. Here it is:

Me: What are you doing here?

Slendy: I noticed you had a question for me.

Me: Oh, well, I wanted to ask if the Revenants exist.

Slendy: Why?

Me: If they do exist, then I'll let you turn me into one of them.

Slendy tilts his head and emits a threatening aura.

Slendy: You will let me? Impetuous child, I could have you wrapped around my finger in a second.

Me: Then why haven't you?

Slendy doesn't answer.

Me: You think I'm stupid? I know that I have to let you. I can feel it. You can't worm your way inside my mind like you can with the others. You need me to allow you inside. I noticed it when I was living in our apartment. You were looking for a way inside but you could never find it no matter what you did. Hell, I have to agree before you can even get in my mind to talk to me.

Slendy: Very well, I will admit that you are correct. It changes nothing, however. I know that you are desperate to protect your mate and the others living here. You will let me in eventually. That is why you have called me here.

Me: Will you answer my previous question?

Slendy: How do you know I won't lie?

Me: You told me once that you can't lie. You told Sandra that, too.

Slendy: You know too much for your own good, child.

Me: Look, just answer my question. I don't want to question what Reach established regarding the Revenants. I just...I feel like its our only chance. I need to know from you if they exist.

Slendy: Was the one you call Reach not a servant of mine?

Me: He was, but he said in the beginning that he was special. That he had superhuman strength, speed, and healing powers. A few months later he came out and said that you made him say that the Revenants are special to mess with people and that it was all a lie.

Slendy: Ah, yes. I remember that one. He was like you, strong of mind. In the end I was able to break him, however.

Me: Look, I don't want to get into that. I know what you did to Reach and a lot of us hate you for it. I just need you to answer my question.

Slendy: I can endow my servants with the power of the Other Side if I wish, this is true. The title "Revenant" is something fabricated by Reach on my orders, but this does not mean that servants with powers similar to those he described do not exist. There is no elite group of proxies as Reach led you to believe. Any of my servants can become a conduit for my power at any time.

Me: I will allow you to take me if you swear to me right now that you will not turn me into a Hallowed. I'm not going to be some mindless beast.

Slendy: You are not in a position to make demands of me, child.

Me: Would you really waste me by turning me into some expendable pawn? You know how strong my mind is. I would think you'd want to utilize it, not throw it away by turning me into a Hallowed.

Slendy: Again, you know too much for your own good. Very well, I give you my word that you will not be one of my lesser servants. I will ensure that you are at the proper level to become a conduit for my power and that you will remain sane.

Me: One more thing, I need you to promise me that you'll leave Chastin alone once you have me. I offer you my life in place of his.

Slendy pauses to think.

Slendy: I must take time to consider this. The next time I come back to you I will give you my decision.

He vanishes.

Well, that was fun. I'm gonna run the things he told me by Ai now.

P.S. Sorry if this bothers you guys...I just want to be able to protect my friends and my lover.

P.S.S. Ygg is back, I'm rather surprised.

It's coming

You're right, Aiden. I feel it, too. There's something ominous in the air here. I wish I could do something to help...I want to kill It as much as Aiden does. I wish I could comfort Taben somehow...he's been a good friend to me.

Aiden and Brennon have spent these last couple days trying to figure out how to deal with our recent tragedy. Taben still hasn't come out of his room and I'm not sure if they've told Allen yet. The young don't usually understand death enough to allow it to grieve them, but Allen's a pretty smart kid. I'm thinking that, somehow, he'll understand, and that isn't necessarily a good thing.

It seems...pleased with itself...god damn I want to murder that thing. Its very presence here right now is an insult. It's gloating. If that thing could smile, it would be grinning from ear to ear in some sick satisfaction at the sorrow and terror it's brought down on the people here.

Slendy's been...strangely morose. Its strange...but I think he feels bad for not being able to save Ry. I don't think he actually cares one way or the other about humans dying, but he cares about the feelings of certain people in this house at least.

I want to help take revenge on It. No...its not really revenge, though, is it? Getting rid of that monster would be some sort of salvation for certain people. If we could stop It, we would save everyone from a ton of heartache. One tall, skinny, murderous monster on our planet is enough.

I had a thought...right now I'm really of no help to anyone. Aiden is probably the best guy for the job of helping slendy kill It right now. Taben is Aiden's proxy but I'm pretty sure he just counts as an Agent. I don't think Agents have special powers, do they?

So, what about the Revenants? Well, apparently they don't actually exist. Lovely. I don't know what any of us can do, then. I had a plan...I was going to ask slendy to turn me into a Revenant. He's going to turn me into his servant eventually anyway...and if it means I can help then I want it. I'm not actually sure what to believe. Reach said they don't exist but Steward's writings suggest otherwise. I'm going to ask slendy about it. I'm sorry if this upsets anyone...but I need to help. I want to be able to do something. If I don't...if we don't stop It...then there's no telling which one of us could go next.

Also...I thought that maybe if I let slendy have me, he'd leave Chastin alone for good. I promise I'll only let slendy turn me if the Revenants really do exist. I know slendy can't lie.

I am willing.
