"ruasfskl vklddgpo." Adrian mumbled, as he laid on the ground. He felt anger inside him. Part from himself to whoever had knocked him out, and part from the thing, because Adrian had not come. A dream flashed in Adrian's mind, and he finally fell into full unconsciousness.

Adrian was standing in a forest, much different from the ones he was around in real life, and it was clearly daytime. He was surrounded by trees, but he saw up ahead, was a clearing, and there, that thing stood. It didn't move though, it just stood there, almost waiting, as though Adrian had come there to discuss something. Adrian took several steps back, before something grabbed his ankle and he tripped. He sat up soon after to see what had tripped him.

And there, half covered in dirt, was his wife, eyes still dead looking, and her hand gripped his ankle. "Don't leave me." She whispered. Adrian yanked his leg away and screamed. He looked back at the thing, a branching tendril, snapped out of his back, but it appeared as though he was almost struggling to make more. Adrian stared at his wife one last time, before taking off and running.

He ran past trees and bushes, getting seemingly nowhere, until he finally reached a familiar building. The hotel. Everyone stood in front of it, and called out to him, random questions, but Adrian was too distracted by something. His pockets that were empty now had things in them. He reached in the left. It was warm, wet, and sticky. Blood, He pulled his hand out and held a heart in it. He threw it to the ground. He reached into his right. There was a folded up paper which he unfolded. An O with an X slashed through it. He flipped it over, and taped to the other side of the paper, was a twenty dollar bill.

Oh god. He turned around to see the thing there behind him, with multiple tendrils. Behind him, on branches, was everyone. All dead, and impaled, and from behind the creature, walked his dead wife, covered in blood. He screamed, and everything went black.[/i]

(This may or may not be a set up for Carlos' character)

"Please don't shoot me. Please. I didn't know this deal." He held his hands out in front of him and did a kareoke shuffle, keeping his eyes on John the entire time until he turned the corner of the hotel.

Good thing she stopped me. I didn't know what was up.

Chris couldnt thank Thalci though, she was out in a flash. Probably had her own business too. Chris ran until he was certain he found the window he was looking for. He peered in. Nope. Everything looked fine. He moved to the next window. Missing mattress. Nope. Special room, but not the right room. Chris knew the shuffling came from the room next to it. Damnit. Don't have my gun.

Chris looked around for a stick or something to bash against the window. He found some rubble, probably from his epic bus crash.

Chris lifted the brick up. Lets do this. Like a soccer throw- in, chris bashed the brick against the window and hopped into the room. He saw a figure shut off the lamp light. Damnit. It was almost morning, but it was still kind of dark. Chris's eyes had to adjust. He waved his fists around but was overpowered by the person inside the room.

Left. Right. Left. Chris' face was pounded by the man's fist. He curled into the fetal position to protect himself. He took out his phone and put it on speaker, and then played the audio from Voice Memo. The sound was nausiating when played this loud, but it made his attacker lose composure for half a second. Chris hopped off the bed and put the guy in a head lock and pushed him into the corner of the room. He jammed his knee into the guys nuts, just to make him back off some more.

"What's been going on in here man? I heard shit that doesn't sound right. There's people like you outside. Don't be scared" Chris panted. He noticed that his shirt was moist. Bloody. The bed he was on probably had blood inside, and it seeped through onto his body. The bed didn't look like it was filled with cotton either.

Chris let go of the guy. He didn't want to know what happened in this room during the past hour.[/i]

Lily turned the wheel, cautiously to the right. She slowly accelerated, and headed down an unfamiliar road. She had come to visit her cousin, who lived in the area, and had gotten hopelessly lost.

"OOOOooohhh, why me? Why now? Aw, Daniele is gonna be so mad at me for not showing up on time. But she can't give solid directions to save her life. I knew I should have used map quest." She muttered as she considered making a U-turn. After all, no one was on the road. She decided against it, and continued to drive in her silver car.

"The first chance I get, I'm turning around and calling Daniele." She paused and pulled out her iphone which was full of static on the screen.

"If my stupid phone ever works when I need it to!" She yelled, to no one in particular. She groaned, and continued to drive. So with a half tank of gas, she was sure she would get to Daniele's house, just not sure when. Then something made Daniele make a loud screeching toll on her brakes. There was a car. A car that appeared to be slammed straight into a tree.

"Too creepy." She said. Lily was a morning person, and a go-getter, and she was regretting that now. "It was a simple one hour drive, from 4, to 5. Now it must be near six. And knowing Daniele, she'll be worried. Us stupid morning people." She muttered, again to no one. Then Lily attended to more pressing matters. There was enough light to see the car, so Lily knew she had to look to see if anyone was in there.

"Oh god." She muttered, inching towards the car. She shakily peered in. No one was in there. No body. "Phew, oh thank you god." She said. Then she heard something in the distance. Commotion? Yelling? She needed to go see. So she got back in the car, and drove ahead for about a quarter of a mile, before she stopped, and got out. She was about 150 feet away, hiding beside a tree(NOT SM), and watching an odd situation, as a guy had been knocked out, someone pleaded their case about something. And a tall muscular guy, pulled some girl aside.

Lily watched, and then decided to bring herself into the open. She took a deep breath, and took three steps forward... And tripped on a rock. "Owwwwww." She muttered. She hadn't been seen. Good, she wanted to watch a little longer now. So she scrambled back to her tree, making a lot of noise without knowing it, and hid behind the tree.

"Please don't see me, Please don't see me." She mouthed. Little did she know, Adrian was cracking his eyes open slightly in her direction.

(She isn't standing by SM, and wasn't tripped by him. Hope this post is OK.)

"Alright," said J.T. as Chris and Thalci walked off. "Now, we're all set, we're all calm-please," he added very hastily, eying John and his rifle, "let's talk about what we're going to do with O' Captain, Our Captain here."

He ran his hand through his hair and as he did he heard a thump and someone saying "ow". He looked up to see a quick movement from one of the trees, like something had just gone behind it. He frowned. It had been so brief, yet...

He looked over at John and nudged his head in the direction of the tree, keeping eye contact and hoping he understood what he was trying to say.

[SlenderSniper]

Adrian opened his eyes, and grumbled, as pain jolted through the back of his head. When his eyes began to focus, he saw that there was something odd. As he rubbed the back of his head, and sat on his knees, he saw there was a figure, of some kind, standing by a tree. Adrian froze.

"If it's that fucking thing." Adrian muttered. But he soon realized that it couldn't be. He had no urge to go near it. He didn't feel a need to. So... was there someone over there, one of the group maybe? As Adrian thought about this, J.T. was motioning to John to go and see what was up over there, unbeknownst to Adrian, as he was trying to get his bearings straight.

(Im gonna post two of my characters at once, just to save space. This is prolly the only time i'll do this though"

Jean

"You... Bus...." Jean-Phillippe waved his hand towards a wall, "crash?"

God.... i feel like an idiot unable to speak english Jean thought. Fuck it, ill just do my thing... he can figure what i say out on his own

"Why?" Jean sputtered. "You want rob?" "You with tall man?"
He saw Chris look at the bed.
Chris said "No, and no. No way man. No way am I with the tall man." Chris looked at the bed. "No. Not with the tall man."

Jean said "You uh.. you.. hear... see... uhh that?" He pointed at the bed.

Chris said, "I know what happened. Did you come with a friend?"

"Yes... he... is in bed."

Jean and Chris both broke down and cried. They grabbed each other.
"I'm so sorry," Chris gasped.
----------
Chris

Chris had no hesitation in letting go of Jean's grab. They were bros, not lovers. They'd only met for 5 minutes, that kind of thing wasnt happening yet.


This guy just witnessed Slenderman's wrath straight on?
Goddamnit. Chris thought he was the most badass, but after seeing Bri's friend, the sleeping guy, Adrian, and the french man all survive attacks from Slenderman straight on, Chris knew he didn't have the perspective that most people had around with him.

Chris and Jean sat on the floor, leaning against the wall.
"We gotta be careful." Chris pointed out the window. "Outside, there was also a man, he was drawn toward the monster. I dont know if the people outside are safe as well."

Jean said: "There are others?"
"Yeah, you have no idea what we've had to do to survive. I also found another bed... that is like that..."

Chris remembered when his phoned flashed the words "GO TO BED" on his phone when he first noticed Jean's hotel.

He took a deep sigh.
Jean said "The others... they have also seen the tall man?"
"Yep." Chris told him all the events that had happened from the moment he stepped of the tour bus.

Jean was dumbfounded.

"Lets go outside. We should see if everyone is ok."

They both hopped out the window and walked back to the field where everyone was. They seemed occupied with something else. Or specifically, someONE else.

Chris called: "Guys, did you find a survivor? I've just met someone here, too. There may be others around this area. Maybe we shouldn't leave just yet."

[Mr.Beyond]

Look at them.

Look at ALL of them, buddying up, finding people, making plans. Look at their faces, so full of lies and secrets.

They all want you dead.

If they don't kill you themselves then they'll just leave you to die.

You have to beat them to the punch.

Only you can do it, Bri.

Only you can, BeeBee..


The voices had been getting worse. Bri's perception had been getting worse. Where was she, where was everyone else? She was losing her concept of what was going on around her.
The hotel had many floors; if she climbed enough stairs she'd be at the top. If she was at the top she could get to the roof.

So Bri climbed stairs. She climbed and climbed until her legs ached and when she reached the roof she stood at the edge.

She could go ahead and kill herself. That'd be okay. Then nothing could hurt her, not the tall thing, not the others. Not Adrian. Not Chris. Not any of them.
The tall man doesn't want to hurt you, something told her. Just relax. Open your arms. Open your eyes.

Or she could.... kill them first.

Kill them?
Even Neil?

..yeah, she could do that.

Something... snapped. Something in Bri snapped. She turned around, from the edge of the hotel roof. She looked to the center of the roof. And he was there. The THING, the tall man.

And Bri walked towards him and smiled.

"You're right. I gotta save myself."

[N Spencer]

Up on the roof, Neil stared out at a patch of the horizon that wasn't blocked by the forest. Not a cloud in sight, thought Neil. Gripped by a mild insomnia born of paranoia, and for no reason other than having nothing to do, he had gone up to the roof to simply reflect on recent events. Hearing the roof access door open, he turned around to see Bri walking to the edge of the hotel opposite to his. "Bri? What are you doing up here?" Neil asked.

She continued walking, as if he hadn't spoken at all, stopping at the edge. as he approached her, Neil couldn't help noticing there was something odd in the way she stood. Her head was down, she was leaning slightly forward... It was almost as if... No, he thought, stopping in his tracks. Is she going to jump?! The shock of the realisation flooded him, and try as he might, he couldn't make himself move, couldn't stop her.

Neil was relieved when she turned away from the edge. However it was short-lived, giving way to confusion as she walked towards the center of the roof and said "You're right. I gotta save myself", smiling as she did. No longer gripped in the fear of losing his friend, he closed the distance between them. "Are you alright, Bri?"

[Deimos]

J.T had signalled towards the woods. Last thing John wanted was another crazy running around, especially not in the woods. John nodded briefly and began creeping towards the trees with J.T not far behind. They reached a large tree and both went around. John was amazed to see a fairly tall girl crouched behind. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Before she could respond John had glanced back to the hotel at what appeared to be Bri standing on the edge of the roof

[SlenderSniper]

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked a voice right next to Lily. Slowly, she turned to see two men standing there, one with a gun, the other looking rather in charge. Lily opened her mouth, but no words would come out. It didn't matter though, the one man with a gun had already turned and walked the other way. The other man stayed. Lily mustered up what little courage she had left to speak.

"M-My name is Lily. Um, what is going on. I, I mean I just was looking for my cousin's house, and I stopped here because there seemed to be confrontation going on... I just was worried." Lily said. She then brought her knees up and wrapped her arms around them.

"Seriously, I really don't understand what's going on. I'm really scared." Lily said. Then a voice echoed out to the rest of the group in reference to Lily.
"Guys, did you find a survivor? I've just met someone here, too. There may be others around this area. Maybe we shouldn't leave just yet." said someone, unknown to Lily.

Lily began to sweat. She didn't know what to do.
------------------------------------------------------------
Adrian saw the others walk by and to the girl over by the tree. Adrian hadn't seen the gun, until John was walking away. Adrian's mouth hanged open slightly, but he shut it, and got up. After dusting himself off, he began to walk over to the girl.

His vision grew blurry. Adrian stopped and grabbed his head, leaning over. He groaned slightly. "C'mon Adrian, man up" He muttered to himself, and pressed on. His vision remained slightly blurry, but he could handle it. He heard the girl speak about how she was scared. He felt..... pity. Why? His wife was dead, and these people hadn't been a fantastic help.

So why? Adrian didn't have an answer, so he walked past J.T., and was going to say something, before Chris's voice rang out.

"Guys, did you find a survivor? I've just met someone here, too. There may be others around this area. Maybe we shouldn't leave just yet." Adrian turned, and saw Chris standing with someone. He rolled his eyes, and called out.

"Yeah, she's over here!!" Adrian then turned and crouched next to the relatively tall girl. He caught her eyes, and stared for a second, before holding out his hand.

"Come with me, and I can explain. It's a long story, but an important one. If you don't wish to die, I'd take my hand." He said, as J.T. watched, and unbeknown to Adrian, Bri was walking towards the absolute evil.

[Mr.Beyond]

.....it was Neil.

He spoke; and he spoke to HER. Spoke her name. Asked if she was 'alright.'

More alright than she'd been in a long time. Bri wasn't afraid.

She walked towards Neil, smiling, silent. And when she got close enough,

...she wrapped her hands around his throat and started to squeeze.

Sorry, old friend. Think of this as an act of mercy. I'll make it quick. They won't get to you. I won't let them hurt you.

Then suddenly something seemed to flash and rather than the roof, Bri and Neil were in the hotel lobby, with the mattress and the crashed bus. She was so startled she released Neil's throat, staring at her hands. Had she done that? Or had HE done that? This... MOVING. It was a nice gift, if it was a gift....She smiled wider and reached for Neil again.

[blahblah]

(Jean)

Jean gasped. Did I just hear the word survivor come from Chris? Crap.... not a good place to be in right now... so does he mean others have died as well? Jean remembered the sleeping man in the hotel lobby. Maybe he was dead too... and... and... the bus... maybe there was no bus driver left... and the empty police car... and... why were there only about 7 or 8 people left when the bus was full when it arrived? Why did the area seem so lively only to find that 4 hours later everything was wrecked?

Who was this tall man, and how can any human be so powerful?

Jean and Chris jogged towards the others.

"Hey guys, I found a guy trapped in the hotel. His friend also got uhh... you know put in the bed."

ALSO?????!!!! There were others who had the same fate as his friend??? Jean felt very left out, and scared, to say the least.

These people did not seem trustworthy either. Who knows what crazy things they have done to survive... maybe they ate other bus passengers for food.

THAT HAD TO BE IT. THATS WHY THEY WERE SO EAGER ABOUT FINDING "SURVIVORS" AKA FOOD.

"I not feel good. I tired. I rest in hotel" Jean said. Gotta get to a place where they couldn't find Jean.

He rushed up the stairs until he reached to the top. No, he could be easily attacked. If he went to the roof, he could have a view of everybody.

Jean opened the door and stood on the roof... and saw a crazy lady attacking another man.

She's getting food! Jean thought. Jean tried to get away but the ground beneath him shifted. A blinding light filled the space he was in. He heard voices of terrified children in his mind, but there was one calm voice that stuck out.


Come... come to me.... dont be afraid.... I am here to help... I have taken your friend and the others to a different plane of existence... The ones who keep running away... they the wrongdoers.... come... with me...

Jean suddenly saw an image of wriggling children on the ground... they seemed to wear a grimace of pain on their faces... but it could have been a gigantic smile at the same time.


Jean felt someone behind him... it was the same feeling he got when he noticed that the tall man had been hiding with him in the closet for half an hour...

"Mon dieu, Mon dieu" Jean gasped, as the feeling grew stronger and stronger.

[SickSlickMan]

They're all coming out of the woodwork now, J.T. thought, as he watched Adrian pull the girl out from behind the tree, then hear Chris go on about someone he had found. Two survivors, just randomly appearing out of nowhere...and they were supposed to just buy that they had been out here the whole time?

He had no idea who was dead and who was alive. There were people from the bus that he had not seen in hours, and he had to assume they were either dead or they had somehow gotten a ride. And now new people were cropping up left and right...

He looked at his watch. It was getting close to sunrise, and then they had to focus on getting out of here. It was time to get them all together, Adrian and John and Chris and Bri...

Wait...why the fuck was Bri on the roof?!

[N Spencer]

[OOC: So sorry to do this, Mr. Beyond, but you're trying to kill me, and that is why Neil carries a golf club on his bag.]

Bri walked towards him, still smiling. Although it seemed crazy to him at first, he thought that Bri had a murderous look in her eyes.

His fears of being crazy for thinking so were allayed when she started throttling him. Forced to his knees, he tried to break her grip on his neck, but whatever dementia or madness that had afflicted had also given her an almost inhuman strength. Spots danced in his vision as he struggled in vain, then... He couldn't describe it. There was a flash, and a feeling like every bone in his body was being squashed, stretched and twisted at the same time. Neil noticed they were no longer on the roof, and more importantly, Bri had stopped trying to kill him, at least for a short while, for she was approaching him again, her smile so wide it seemed painted on.

Although Neil preferred to be a pacifist when possible, he knew his friend was beyond reasoning. Taking the golf club from the strap on his bag, he readied it and said, "I'm so sorry, Bri." Then he swung it at her head.

The resulting sound of the club meeting her skull made Neil wince as her head snapped to the side, then tured to face him again, a surprised expression on her face as she toppled. Tears filmed his vision as he stood there, realising he had bludgeoned his only friend here. He didn't stay in the lobby: He hadn't hit Bri hard enough to induce unconsciousness, and she was struggling to get up.

Rushing outside, club over shoulder, he rushed outside, where some of the other people he'd yet to talk to properly as well as some others he didn't recognise were standing about.

"This may seem crazy, but Bri's flipped her lid," said Neil, holding the club like a walking stick to support himself. "She just tried to kill me on the roof, then in the lobby, and she was getting back up after a 6-iron to the face."

"Ergo: I think we may have a problem here."

[Deimos]

The man who fell out of the sky burst out shouting about how Bri had tried to kill and he had ............ hit her with a golf club? It didn't stand up to John. He pushed the strange man aside, he could be dealt with later if necessary. The lobby was a mess, rubble and organ bags lay scattered everywhere. In the middle of it all sat Bri. "Are you ok?" A faint trickle of blood ran out of her mouth. John put his hand on her cheek to take a better look, instantly he heard children laughing. He drew his hand back sharply. The expression on her face worried him.
