In the event that Warning is somewhat mocking/commanding, however, it jives with Signal -- Warning may be more of a repetition of Signal but in a more personal tone?

Thanks for the pointer, Nakigahara! I don't think I'd have found that movie on my own! X3

What the heck are the I and the K, then? XD

Yes, that too. I was too busy reading 'gas' to notice that. *facepalm*

T____T I am so confused!

While working on the second edition of the timeline and bouncing crazy theories off my friend, he came up with a very good idea. He doesn't have an account (yet) so I'm going to ask for him: could Slenderman's powers be somehow tied into boundaries?

Here's his theory: every time we've seen him, Slenderman and the camera-person have both been either outside, OR in the same room, with TWO exceptions. The first exception is during entry 1 (and the missing piece of it found in entry 6), where we see our tall friend lurking outside the house through the windows. The second exception is during Entry 7, where we see SM in an alley outside the car through a closed window (you can tell it's closed because you can see Brian's reflection in it when he moves). These are the only two times that we see Slenderman on camera without the usual heavy video distortion and/or tearing (except maybe Entry 10, but it's too erratic to tell). My friend is postulating that because there was a boundary between the camera and SM, the usual bizarre tapefuckery that usually occurs doesn't, and that this in turn might mean that as long as there is a boundary in place, Slenderman's abilities might be limited. So, for example, if a building (or vehicle) were completely closed off (windows locked, doors shut, no way in), Slenderman might not be able to harm or do ANYTHING to anyone inside. This would bring up the need for someone with skills in breaking and entering to do some of his work for him: hence, the Masked Ninja.

His theory also sort of explains the teleportation: if his power is tied in to boundaries, then every door and doorway, open or shut, is a boundary. Perhaps once a boundary is open to him, he can change it: for example, cause an open doorway to lead somewhere else. We already know that boundaries were opened to him in Brian's house (remember him slinking into the room in Entry 14? And he was definitely able to enter the house in Entry 11.) "There are doors unopened" goaded Jay into going back to the house, and when he opened the last unopened doors, all of the boundaries in the house were opened, and SM had complete control over the house. To prove this, he had Jay run around in circles for a little bit before moving him to the closet, and then to the "basement." It also explains why we haven't seen Slenderman inside Jay's house yet since he boarded it up.

While it doesn't explain the time shifts in Entry 23, the memory loss and a few other things, I kind of like this theory: we have yet to see SM open a door that wasn't already cracked open. Maybe he can't. I could totally picture him gliding around the house in circles in Entries 1 and 6 looking for an open window or door, some sort of way in.

Also, it makes me feel better about keeping my windows and doors closed and locked at night. >_>

@Señor: Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's a pretty good theory as far as theories go, I think. There is evidence of video tearing in 14 right at the beginning, 10 is so crazy that there could indeed be distortion in it but the camera is moving so fast it's hard to tell, but you're right about 11. My only guess is that perhaps it was Masky, and not Slendy, that was moving past? And the link to the first edition of the timeline is about 2 pages back: I'll post the second edition as soon as it's finished. It's kind of massive. @_@

Edit: As for what they want with Brian's house...maybe that's where the interdimensional Slender Rave will take place? Idk

Simply put:
This is Alex's REAL movie, and Jay is the "Truman Show".
