 		Today is Jack's birthday! Not much of a concern though, because 5 appeared with this excerpt from Selma Times:



Are you fucking kidding me?

 		Wait, what?? (first, I know that's that fake newspaper generator)

This can't be over already, it only recently started. Yet with that article...

What do you mean over? Obviously it's just begun, Jack was dead for nearly two months before he started posting.

Edit: Wait, needed to read closer. Too much multitasking. They never found the body.

 		Someone needs to send an email asking Jill.

Who the fuck is Jack now?

Not dead. The body wasn't found. He escaped, and now he is holed up with other slendy-survivors.

Jack is Jack, but the blog story was posted to get our attention. Jack is not an unassuming 12 year old, he is a kid who has been slenderstalked for at least a few months now.

 		New theory. "Jill" is the ghost of his mother or sister.

Edit: Another misreading due to multitasking. I thought Amy was his sister, not his mothers name. I notice he didn't correct me when I mentioned a sister in my email to him.

 		An email exchange between me and "Jack":
Me:
Jack, don't want to bring you down on your special day but we know
about the fire. Pretty sure it wasn't you who posted the article but
we know about it now. I'm sorry about your parents and sister but who
are you really with now?

Jack Redding to me

show details 1:02 AM (3 minutes ago)

Removed my real name here, rest assured I'm writing a post right now to put all your concerns to rest, and hopefully sort things out for everybody. We think we've found a way out. Stay tuned, it'll be up soon.

Edit: And that post he promised is up.

Hello readers of this blog. I am Jack Redding, and this is the first time I will have spoken to you in plain text.

The person posting on this blog is not a person, but a creature with the appearance of a man in a suit, but lacking a face. This is the man who was stalking me during the month of June, and the events played out almost exactly as they were reported on this blog. The day before my birthday the creature cornered me in the woods, and I only remember parts of the weeks following. I remember setting my house on fire and walking out of the burning house into the arms of the creature while my parents were burned alive inside. I remember waking up in this forest, which some of your emails seem to suggest may be Aokigahara

I have been using a phone that I found on one of the many hanged corpses in the forest to send emails and make blog posts, but I have been posting them in base64 so the creature cannot read them - at least, I do not think he can read them.

I do not know the creature's purpose in bringing me here, but I am not the only one brought here by it - I found a group of others, all abducted as well. In the interest of remaining safe and undetected by the creature, the group of us - there are around ten - split off into pairs. I am travelling with a girl named Serah, who is seventeen - she was one of the oldest.

We have only suspicions about why he wanted photos of trees, but since the request was quite fervent and inexplicable, we suspect that the purposes are malicious. This is why we have been asking you not to send photos, and we continue to ask that you only send plain text.

For the time being we are safe from the creature and feel safe in taking full control of the blog and e-mail account and are working to find our way back home. What is important, however, is that innocent lives are protected and that you readers did not fall prey to the creature.

There are still a lot of questions we have yet to answer and would greatly appreciate your help, as you provide a link to the outside world that internet alone cannot provide. We will be posting as often as we can, safely, to try and find our way back home.


So, Jill was Jack. Something feels wrong still though. This Jack doesn't feel any more like a just turned 13 year old kid than the forced kiddy writing style of Slendy. Now, that might be down to the OOG author not being that young or something could still be going on.

OH, good catch, I overreacted, didn't check for specifics.

Oh, man, that's interesting.

Does anyone have some mortar that I can use on these new bricks I seem to have acquired? I plan on building a bunker..

Well the OOG author is definitely not that young. He posted a video of himself in the MH War of the Ties debacle, but that's beside the matter. I agree that Jack sounds a little more mature and well spoken than I generally see in 13 year olds ("fervent" and "inexplicable" are pretty sophisticated words for someone in junior high). Jack also seems a little untouched by the fact that his parents died in a horrible manner not very long ago.

On the other hand, nothing in here from "the real Jack" says that he isn't older than Slendy-Jack said he was. Being just a little bit older would make the sophistication of his language skills a lot more credible.

 		You know, since this particular blog began, it has reminded me of BEN Drowned/Jadusable/Haunted Majora's Mask cartridge. Especially now that we learn that we've been helping Slender Man all along.

Except this story is better for a number of reasons, the main being that the author is actually carrying on the story and doing a great job of it.

 		Holy shit, That explains why he didn't care for the knowledge of the tree, he cared only about that it was a tree. He could care less about the tree does, only that it fits his specification.
