People learn their mother tongues through sound, so mixing up homophones is quite common. I'm quite literate, but I still mix up "their" and "there" all the time, etc. It doesn't really show ignorance but more lack of strict proof-reading, which is fine for comments on internet threads, as long as they're still readable. Best to let these things go.

Sorry for lack of content...I'm quite excited for the new content, but keep in mind that it probably takes them at least a day to edit.

Hmmm, looks like no video tonight. Wondering if/when we'll get it.

Just read the Twitterpost. Hope that EverymanHybrid don't actually crossover into the story proper, I'd prefer to see Noah and the people around him cope with the situation by themselves Smile

(Not that there's anything wrong with EverymanHybrid - it's fantastic! But, I really don't want these stories to crossover into each other, it would take the suspense out of everything Smile )

I think it's a fairly benign crossover. I like it.

I would love to know just how HABIT is aware of the Observer and what the relationship there is.

For the benefit of those who don't subscribe to EMH...

http://www.youtube.com/user/EverymanHYBRID#p/u/0/DoUUF5hK20s

It looks like Noah's version will be coming, too.

Anywho, this is what I posted over on the EMH thread. Equally pertinent here.

Wow, that was pretty sweet. I look forward to seeing Noah's version of the meeting. Not much was really learned, other than the fact that DH takes place in the same universe, too. Meaning EMH, TT, TJA, DH, and, by extension, 5zero2 all take place within the same universe.

Are we still thinking this is all the same single Slender Man? I hope so, honestly, because the idea of there only being one is much scarier than an army of them. But there's potential evidence of multiple since all of the hauntings are happening at once.

Plus, we see Slender Man behind the EMH car after they meet the DH guys, following them. But he's also seemingly waiting at the train station with Noah. Both of these were great, subtle appearances, too. Hell, I didn't even notice the first one on my first viewing.

Noah doesn't seem to be involved in the Mining Town 4/Dr. C storyline, though Milo is at the very least on the fringe of it. Knowing what Nimbus has said of this, that's probably the extent to which their backstories actually merge.

The real question, at least in my mind, is what can we take away from this about The Slender Man? The secondary antagonists of both stories don't appear, and both parties know nothing of the plight of the other except for The Slender Man. He had his eyes on his prey in this meeting, and multiple targets were all present in a neat little package. Why was there no attack, or, at the very least, a more in-your-face appearance? Was he biding his time? Is there strength in numbers? This really does just raise more questions.

Crazy theory time!

Yes, there is only one Slenderman. However, this dimension can't fit all of him in one spot, what appears to us to be multiple Slendermen are mere parts of a greater whole. Tentacles of the larger being slithering through the cracks of reality unable to exert his full power. This might explain the different behaviors and abilities seen between series. Gods help us if the cracks get wider.

Re-posting crazy theory in the EMH thread for those who only read one of the two.

Judging on HABIT's personality;

Scenario 1; He might care less about the Observer, because he's very self-centered and might find him benign in comparison to the rabbits, us, or the HYBRIDs.

Scenario 2; He could also have a weird, "Eye-to-Eye" respect for him, because they essentially two different things on the same coin, physical destruction and mental corrosion. Hell, they might even have the same goals, in some respect.

Well, I think this actually says a lot about where Slenderman is with the HYBRIDs. We've seen hostility towards Noah from the Slenderman, as he is one of the few people it's brandished its tentacles to.

Something I saw in the video was the Slenderman focusing on Noah at the Train station. His body was turned to Noah, and gone when the HYBRIDs started talking to him. I think with Slenderman, Noah is someone it has personal issues with, but I think it treats the other with more caution, or even with more care towards, and once it saw Noah had business with them, it backed off. I don't know much about DH, but maybe it had plans for the DH crew when EMH showed up, and showed an interest in them.

Long story short; Noah is seen as an enemy, while he carries EMH with more care, or caution.(DH is something I don't know much about, heard good things though.)


Moving away from the Slenderman aspect in this, Did anyone else hear something that sounded a lot like the Rake towards 53 seconds in? Maybe it was Evan marveling at the car, but it's hard to tell.

This.

Personally, I've always entertained the thought that Slenderman acts differently towards different people. In EMH, he doesn't seem overly violent, while in TT he is.

I think it is less to do with Noah than with Karl. I think Karl hurt/offended Slenderman in some way, and was able to hide from Slendy, and Slendy still holds a grudge. Eventually, he forgot about it (or something) until he tracked Milo to Florida and saw Noah. At that point, he may have seen that Noah was related to Karl, and that started his grudge anew.

Or it could be something entirely different. Eldritch Horrors don't tend to follow rational human logic very much.

ITT: DH takes place in the same universe because of a cameo from the actors that will probably never be expanded or even mentioned again in either series.

Well yeah, but the fact that contact has been made is enough to constitute a crossover in my mind. It's not important for the characters to have a meaningful, plot-relevant discussion, so long as it can be proved that they reside in the same reality. This opens up entire fields of speculation regarding why Slenderman seems to differ from series to series, since you can no longer say that it's a separate reality (like you can with MH).

Hmmm. Makes me wonder how much/how little footage there'll be.

Makes me wonder if there might be a little distortion thrown around that the EMH camera might have missed. Or what he was filming earlier that caused the battery to run low.

For me, this crossover feels incredibly misjudged. Not that I don't enjoy both series - I do, but I think Noah works better on his own. Given his rather quiet personality, I think he'd be somewhat overshadowed by the other Hybrids. While I've realised there's been a connection between both series (heh, only watched both once, been busy with work), I really just hope this is a one-time thing. Given the connection, it doesn't look like it will be.

Still, very interested to see how it all pans out, though Smile
