Mike soaked all this chaos in with a grin, then decided to take charge.

"Ok people. We can't all be staying out here in the open. Clearly there is some weird fricken animal or other hostile that sees us as food/game. One that, evidently, drops rocks on us. I for one, suggest getting to a nice defendable place. Like, say...in the town. Maybe get a clue as to whats going on, ya know? OR, I can just fire grenades indiscimanately while we stand on this trail pointing our guns at the trees waiting for...for whatever is here."

With that, Mike starts heading to town without looking back, a knowing grin on his face.

There were a few things Terrence was certain of, and one was that this pompous soldier with the grin on his face was unaware of the danger upon he and his party, or at the very least, he thought that he was immune to it.

How very, very foolish.

Second was that, despite his efforts, The Masked Man and the Painted-Faced One were not within his grasp. If he wanted any hope of defeating The Tall One or even solving it's mystery, hewould have tofollow along with these soldiers.

Terrence peeked through his fair-colored bangs and the underbrush, as the group began moving further down the path, with the young boy in tow and a fair amount of uneasiness. Slinking through the bushes beside the road, Terrence continued to follow them from afar, waiting for his time to speak with them.

Well, whatever the thing was, it seemed to be gone for now, so as the smirk soldier lead the way, Bryce obediently followed. He wasn't about to take chances, not now, with the tall man around. Once more, his phone gave off a beep. Opening it up, Bryce knew exactly what to expect. Yet another text.

And not 20 seconds later, a second text message

stayalert

And then another one following shortly

Bryce decided to ignore the messages. Whoever was sending these was obviously following them, so he snuck a quick peek behinf the group, nothing was there.

Agh, is it too late to join? I was considering a civilian or one of the police force.

Thom sighed; he was in way too deep already.

The rational part of his mind was telling him that the whole situation was ridiculous, and why was he even considering that the Slenderman was involved?

But the rest was telling him ohshitohshiti'mfuckingdead.

And for once, rational thought lost the battle.

Logical thought, however, did not. He had to get out of the forest, that was for sure; if not, he had to at least find someone else within the forest - preferably someone of an ordinary height.

So he started walking in a random direction, in as straight a line as he could possibly manage.

---

Some twenty minutes later, he found himself face to face with a bunch of military-looking types going the opposite direction to him.

He also noticed the same tree he had woken up next to. That straight line had turned into a circle.

"Um," he waved nervously at the guns. "Hi. I think I'm stuck in a loop of unhappiness."

I joined up with the intent of Sam being on her own for a while, at least until she runs into someone, or someone runs into her. Can I get a summary of what's going on/who's where, or, if anyone is so artistically inclined, can we get a map of the general layout? I'm also very confused.

Stephen froze, and didn't move a muscle.

His eyes looked around him. He didn't see anyone, but he had to believe her, since he knew he wouldn't see anything.

He looked up at her and said, "Tell me when it's safe to start moving again." in a voice that was loud enough to be heard, but not attempting to be too loud.

Mia nodded. "Ok," she whispered back. "stay there." She stared at the house across from her. Whatever she had seen in the window was gone. She wondered briefly if she'd imagined or hallucinated it.

"I don't see anything," she said. "I don't know what it was but I don't see it anymore."

She looked around the room behind her to see if there was anything she could use as a weapon. Something lay underneath the wardrobe against the far wall. Leaving the window temporarily, she ran over to it and reached underneath, pulling out a lead pipe. She noticed there was blood on the tip. Something had happened in this room.

She decided to ignore that for now and went back over to the window.

Mike pauses and smiles a much less mischvious smile at Thom.

"Well, howdy there, lil' guy. Ain't much signs of life out here. Good to see we ain't the only people. Got a name there, big guy? better still, an idea as to whats going on?"

[Gutter]

Thom laughed weakly, hoping it was the right response. Even if he'd had that kitchen knife with him, he stood no match against this fully trained, heavily armed group.

"My name's Thom; I'm a private investigator." He paused, pressing hip lips together, not sure quite how to phrase his next statement. "I can't say I know exactly what's going on, and I certainly don't know quite how I wound up in the forest. But if, as I suspect, you are here to, ah...investigate the recent disappearances, I feel I may have some suspicions as to the cause."

Although, it's pretty difficult even for me to believe. He mused, a twinge of almost guilt passing across his face.

There's a little picture of Thom for those who are interested.

[Renren]

[Magus00]

Mike screws up his face in a look of confusion.

"Dis...disappearances? Well, if'n you been here long and don't know whats going on, you ain't much of an investigator, are ya?" He smiles before breaking out in maniacal laughter. "I'm just screwin' with ya, no need to get all flustered. Why don't ya tell me and my group all about what you think is going on?"

He suddenly remembers something. He removes the clip from his weapon and replaces it with a fresh one.

"Hehe, sorry 'bout that. I let out a burst earlier, nothing to worry about."

Since I was bored in school, and got no reply, I made a profile/bio thingymajjigerwhatsit. I doubt I'll actually join the RP unless I get the okay to do so, but I became bored enough to create my character now.

Name: Faye Russell
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Disheveled shoulder length brownish blonde hair with obviously self-cut bangs obscuring eyes. Muddy green eyes. Not exactly attractive, but decent looking as far as appearances go. Freckled, tanned complexion. Short and scrawny stature, only about 5'2". (might draw and colour a picture of her later if I'm not too lazy)
Items/Weapons/Abilities: Lighter, Small Switchblade.
Class: Civilian
Bio: Growing up with only her mother and older brother Jake, Faye lived a sometimes difficult but still pleasant life in the now-abandoned town where Slenderman has taken residence. Last year, Faye left to take classes at a college about 2 hours away from her hometown. She left her aging mother and her 22 year old brother at home, promising to visit frequently. Shortly after she had begun classes, Faye's mother died of a heart attack, causing Faye to become very shy and withdrawn. Faye spoke to barely anyone, only feeling at ease with her brother, who is very close to her. But recently, he hasn't been returning her calls, causing Faye to make an impromptu visit to her hometown. When she arrives, she finds herself in a ghost town, and begins to search for answers.

Alison watched after the masked one, slack-jawed and pale.

"Who the fuck was that?" she turned to the overseer. "You want to explain what's going on, sir?"
