 		Here's a scary thought.


What if Dr. C did stuff with that sample after he had it tested? What if our EVILMADSCIENTIST stuff comes true and he actually injected it into some of the 'troubled kids' he's been seeing?




I don't know how it fits(it doesn't), but it's a fun notion

 		I agree Vin and Jeff ought to be tested as well, but I tend to lean towards Evan's results having something to do with HABIT.

If the boys really want to throw us for a loop, only one of the remaining two will test positive. All theories will be destroyed!

 		Kind of a tangent.

When the guys tried to watch the hidden videos, was the reaction the fault of the videos themselves(like audio feedback on a microphone) or did someone(Slendy) knowingly prevent stop them?


I'm asking because if it was the latter, don't you think he'd interfere if they all tried to test their blood?

If that's the case, I'd posit that the one who doesn't test positive will either be the only one of the three to live, or the only one of the three to die.

Ouro- If it was Slendy that stopped them from viewing the hidden videos, then I doubt he'll stop them testing the blood. With the hidden videos, they couldn't even see them to begin with. I assume that since Evan was able to test his blood, the other boys will be able to, as well.

However, I doubt it was Slender Man actively stopping them from viewing the videos. It seemed to me that it was more like something specific in the videos triggered a latent part of their MT4 consciousnesses.

Well I always thought that it was the universe keeping itself from imploding - think 'back to the future 2' - running into yourself from a different time could be big trouble, or lead to fainting and being inconsequential for the rest of the film series. The fact that the hidden videos are of "them" or possibly from "them" could have snapped some time-bendy pieces or something. That or the Animal Collective song is some kind of auditory trigger on them

My personal theory: Sigma radiation is not just the signature of Slender Man, but of all Candleverse/Ark inhabitants. I hate to disagree, but there's a slight flaw in this. Slendy sets the thing off just from being nearby. Evan, however, doesn't set the thing off. Only his blood does that, and only when it's in very close proximity. Therefore, there's obviously something different about the boys and Slender Man when it comes to their reasons for being irradiated, or else they'd be irradiated in the same way. Not saying that your theory is definitively false, I just don't think it's likely.


Actually... to quibble with your quibble... we don't actually hear the device in the video where it was found, because of the slender-distortion. So we don't know when it kicked in. Yes... it could have been detecting SM at that point, but Vinnie was also spitting up all manner of potentially sigma irradiated fluids at the same time. It could just as easily have been reacting to that and not SM at all.

Also SM is probably a lot MORE irradiated or whatever. He may not have a structure that is strictly inside stuff/outside stuff like the humans do that shields the radiation from detection the way skin and muscle seem to. We're dealing with a lot of big variables here.

Can you imagine the good doctor's reaction if he was given this device to detect Slendy and then he realized that he set it off himself?

I very much like the first theory, but see the point in the counterargument. Is it possible that our favorite fitness gurus are indeed, er, hybrids of some sort? Like, human/candleverse hybrids?

I'm guessing the EMH name has been extensively discussed elsewhere, so if we've already determined its significance conclusively, please correct me and/or point me to where I can read about it. I'm quite new and still feeling out the prevailing theories. The monster threads are a bit intimidating when you're behind by a few years. Smile

Edited for the wrong its/it's. Damn autocorrect.

 		I don't think the term (HYBRID) is a coincidence, no.

The question is how they originated, and what they are now.

 		Anyone notice that the annoying hard to read font on CYSTWs changed?

As do I.

Also it doesn't look like a room, more like a bombed-out building somewhere in Baldpate.

True enough, but to me, it's seemed like the boys have taken big steps in making sure we know that the thing goes off whenever Our Tall Friend is there. Maybe we could ask them if it started ticking before or after Vinnie started puking up whatever that stuff was. Still, to me it seems more like if it was Evan himself that was irradiated and it wasn't something particular with his blood, then he'd be setting the thing off, as well. But eh, I doubt we'll be able to come to any real conclusions until the other two check their blood.

@Tijde- Yeah, I've heard people mention that they think Slender Man might be a Nephilim, and I assume that theory could be taken one step further if you take the name literally. It's not a theory I personally subscribe to, but there's definitely some evidence pointing in that direction.

Do you think it might be the same shed they went to to grab the weapons from?

As an aside, we heard the Geiger counter going off when they found it, several minutes before Slender Man showed up.

I wonder what it was reacting to?

I also wonder why the quote tags are screwing up.
