Happy Halloween, VDR!

[vocalonightmare]

[You suddenly find yourself walking in the woods.
There's no one around,
And your phone is dead.
Out of the corner of your eye you spot him...
It's Slenderman.

Or, Nightmare temporarily turned into Slenderman for the upcoming holiday. Either way, you're stuck here until you find all eight pages hidden in the woods. Whatever weapons you may normally carry are mysteriously missing and all you've got is a flashlight. But since this game is multiplayer for a change, you may ask others for help in finding the pages; or even combine your over all number of pages!

But will you really be sent home if you find all the pages before the faceless fiend finds you?
Who knows...

All I can say is, good luck and Godspeed.]


((OOC: Night/Slender shall be thread-jumping into your threads to scare the pee out of your muses at random times. If you'd like to include extra sightings of him, however, go right ahead. |D))

Alright, that's good- you're doing wonderfully. Just keep looking at me, and ignore everything else.

Now, we're going to have to start moving again, but I want you to continue to focus on me as we go. Can you do that for me, Violet?

{Req had already experienced the unusual static effect the faceless man seemed to caused when too near, but found that as long as he kept moving he could avoid it. He still had no idea what these notes were all about, but was hoping to figure it out as he wandered about. He hadn't expected to run into Violet here, but found that he was glad that he had; Now Requiem would be able to ensure Vi's safety. All they had to do was get out of these woods.}

[voicelessguitar]

....

[Vi can trust Req all of his life after his guardian, since Req IS his new friend and a guardian. He looks up at him and gives a short nod.]

Okay, I will. I trust you.

[He's going to hold Req's hand tightly.]

[untodust]

Thank you Violet, I shall not let you down.

{Requiem gives Vi's hand a reassuring squeeze before he starts to lead them elsewhere, having decided to look for more notes. Despite the fact that collecting them seems to upset the faceless fellow, they're his only clue as to what's happening. While he searches, though, he has something else to do that is very important; keep Vi calm.}

Why don't you tell me something about flowers, Violet? I read that some varieties grow from 'bulbs', is that true?

[voicelessguitar]

[Vi is sticking so close to him and keeps looking at him. There's other time he wants look around but he's afraid to do so. Quietly, silently he follows behind his friend, still looking worry.

Until he almost jump on that question.]

Huh? B--bulbs?

...It's true. Bulbs do have leaves and the leaves usually function as the food storage.

[untodust]

{Requiem continues to converse calmly, as if they were just having a pleasant chat on the way home in the afternoon. Perfectly safe. In the meantime, he was also heading for a bizarre tree that he had spotted in the distance.}

Ah, truly? That's rather interesting; are there many flowers that grow from bulbs??

[voicelessguitar]

[Vi doesn't even notice where they're heading. He's too focus on the question.]

Yes, plenty. Mostly blossoms, orchids, tulips and others. It's not just flowers but vegetables too, especially onions. Some bulbs may require special attention during winter months but many will bloom for several years without being uprooted.

[untodust]

{That's good, that's what Requiem was aiming for. Now if he can just maintain this distraction after he claims that fourth note from the tree, and the creepy music starts...}

Years? Flowers are more resilient than I originally thought.
And you know, I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to eat an onion before. Is it true that they cause your eyes to water when you chop them?

{Don't pay attention to the music, alright, Violet? Just focus on the conversation.}

[voicelessguitar]

[Unfortunately, Vi is very fond to music. He can telling this music is terrify him enough to move forward. But he still holding on Req, tightly.]

Y--yes, it has harmless acid a--and when it connects our eyes, t--tears will formed.

[And he goes quiet.]

[untodust]

{Requiem gives Violet's hand another re-assuring squeeze as he puts the latest page away in his coat, making sure to keep them moving the whole time. Unfortunately this page didn't hold any more definitive clues as to what was going on, but Req knows that if the faceless fellow deemed the notes important enough to summon this odd sourceless music over, then they would be helpful somehow. So the plan was the same.}

Is the onion the only vegetable that contains that manner of acid? Or are there others that can make one cry as well?

[voicelessguitar]

[Trying so hard not to 'cry'.]

Um... G--ginger, g--arlic... black pepper, chillies... others--- more.

[At this rate, he keeps holding on Req, and trying to ignore the music as well. But isn't the music getting louder every time they got the paper?]

...Requiem-san? T--That paper...

[What's the paper for? Why Req picked it out without reading it?]

[untodust]

I've been finding them since I was sent here, and this last page makes four. I'm not sure what they're for, exactly, but that faceless...person seems to think them important. Collecting them is the only clue we have as to what's going on.

As long as we keep moving he doesn't seem to catch up.

[voicelessguitar]

I...I wonder what's his motive. He could have ask us.

[It's not what you expected, Vi.]

[untodust]

I'm afraid he's not the negotiating type, I already tried. I doubt he's the explaining type either.

Who knows if he's even able what with his lack of a mouth.

[voicelessguitar]

...True.

[Faceless creature or person, how to talk to him? It feels abandoned.]

...Do you think the creature, or person is harmless?

[untodust]

{While Violet's concern for Slenderman is truly touching...it's not particularly safe.}

I'm afraid he's almost certainly harmful.

[voicelessguitar]

.....Alright.

[He still cant understand that the creature is lonely and yet, harming other people. Unless they did something to him.]

[untodust]

{He can't help smiling a little and reaching back to pat Violet's head. Being concerned for the monster chasing them even after being terrified of him...Vi is really too adorable.}
I promise we'll try to befriend him the next time we see him so long as he isn't perusing us through a dark forest, how does that sound?

[voicelessguitar]

[Violet blushes as he's been patted. For some reason, he's not terrified, for now.]

Y--yes. I agree with you. Hopefully soon after we get through this forest, we able to communicate with him.

[untodust]

{Requiem smiles and nods. You shouldn't feel terrified when they're together, right~? Because they're a great team.}

Well the first step towards that is finding the rest of these notes, so I suppose we should get back to looking for unusual landmarks, hm?

[voicelessguitar]

Y--Yes. I believe if we keep walking forward, we will encounter new landmarks.

[And Violet will hide behind Req because Req is going to lead.]

[untodust]

{Hide all you like, Vi, Requiem never shys away from an opportunity to keep his loved ones safe; and after a bit of walking, it pays off.}

Ah, what's that ahead? I think I can see an unusual shape.

[voicelessguitar]

Is that so? Um... what is it?

[Is it a big tree? A house? A tunnel? But more importantly, an exit?]

Tunnel of love?

[untodust]

It appears to be a tunnel...I'm not sure what it's doing there going nowhere. I suppose one of the papers could be in it.

<33

[voicelessguitar]

[Tunnel looks dark and scary. It's one way in and out, which makes him stick closer to Req.]

S--should we um... walk in?
