Guys! Guys! I think I know whats in the safe!

Okay, lets think of this, We in Entry 27, Jay says he looked EVERYWHERE around where he was staying, and found nothing he recognizes. He also doesn't recognize where Entry 29 takes place, yet even if he wasn't the camera man for that entry, the fact that he looked all over town already means that more likely than not there is some distance between the two places. Which means Mr. Thin has yet to find Jay at the hotel. So whatever is the safe might have antislender powers. Something like, I don't know, a blade of evil's bane? Thats right, the safe holds: The MotherFucking Master Sword.
And Ben Drowned is actually part of Marble Hornets.

 		Ben Drowned is friggin' awesome. I approve.

(Nitpick: the Master Sword is not actually in Majora's Mask. But still!)

Yeah, unfortunately, I found it long after it went on Hiatus, but I still love it.

(And yeah, I know. But there are no other Zelda related ARGs that I'm aware of. Besides, the Master Sword is technically in Ben Drowned, as the character Alex posted videos of Adult Link from OoT using the Master Sword when being killed by Dark Link.)

 		I feel so special, no one has ever cared about one of my theories before Very Happy This is awesome.

And I like the theory about that Alex knew that Slendy was there to protect him and that's why he was calm. It would explain a lot. Especially since he was more concerned with Amy getting out of the house than himself.

 		Is it just me, or does it kind of look like the cloth is wrapped around something? Never Mind, it was just really dark there XD

 		I actually think it looks like that too; that, or something was underneath it.

 		The problem with assigning a descriptor such as "good" or "evil" to Slender Man is that it applies human disposition and intent to something that is, clearly, not human. Just the same as the tiger tearing out your throat is not evil; it is hungry, and you are food to it. It does not, nor can it, feel badly about destroying your potential to the world, or the grief your death will cause your family.

I don't see Slendy (or, at least, MH's Operator) as a rational, cognizant entity. I see him as a force, a thing, something that follows aims and goals- if it has them at all- that are unfathomable to us. The fact that he resembles a tall man in a business suit is likely just advantageous mimicry, like the eyespots of a butterfly's wings.

In the basest definition of the term, Slender Man is a monster. Something that is Not Like Us, that does not see things as we see them nor think as we think.

Of course, I could be wildly wrong and Slender Man is just a dapper, happenin' dude who just wants to know why all these cool film-major kids keep running away from him instead of helping him with his project. Who knows?

And now, a theory. If, in fact, Slender Man can track people down via operation of cameras that have been influenced by him before... is Jay now actually sending a beacon out to him by using cameras that have captured images of Slendy before? It's pretty clear that the "noentry" video is from the chest-cam Jay's using now.

 		lol, maybe it was a dead rabbit O.O (if you get that I love you)

And as to the slender man being a mindless abomination, if he really was acting on impulse then he, like the tiger, would just be senselessly attacking. However most of the time he watches from a distance. So far there has been no proof of any violent intentions, if he/it were acting on impulse, Jay would be dead.

I had beer with Slenderman once. It was just after his wife, Chloe, left him. Y'see, poor fella was tryin' to drown his sorrows in a ... glass of Brandy. Tellin' me 'bout that woman, he she'd always have headaches at night and 'ld come home from the neighbor's house all dirtied up and smellin' uh cologne. Well I told that Slenderman he oughta pop her one, I did. We had some beers and some laughs. Told me 'bout the kids he'd ate. He's drunk so I didn't think much of it. Figured he'd watched too much of that there Dexter Morgan show? I dunno, gotta friend told me that show was about uh baby eater. I wouldn't know I never watch them HBO's or Showtime's or nuthin, figure that stuff all for people with uh ... loftier educational background. See my parents, I was real young y'know, and my parents put me in one of them 'Christian reform schools'. Well now all them teachers ever did was give us an axe and some wood and tell us to chop wood for the woodburnin' stove. We ain't never learned know math or science or Feminist Gaze Theory or nuthin' like that. So I figure I might as well have a couple a kids, y'know.

 		Maybe The Operator is a creature that is just as scared of us as we are of him.

No cross ARG references, Skully. Bad boy.

Your point explains why he isn't just a mindless killing machine, but being that he's an eldritch abomination, it's quite likely that whatever impulses he's following aren't the kind that we can easily understand by comparing him to a mere animal. Quite honestly, he has a reason for what he does, we just don't know what it is yet. I'm betting that he's malicious in some ways, but I don't have enough substantial evidence to prove it.

@McWeird: If that were true, we wouldn't have him constantly following Alex. If you're deathly afraid of something, you don't constantly follow it and sneak into it's room at night.

Tigers watch their prey from afar. They stalk their prey until the most opportune time, when the kill will be easiest. Perhaps this is what the Operator is up to.

In fact, this is, in my humble opinion, exactly what he's up to. Whoever he just killed (and I truly think it would be bad form on their part for it to be a major character like Tim, Alex, TTA, Amy, or Brian) simply finally reached the point that the tiger could safely hit the death pounce and tear out their metaphorical and possibly literal throat.

So yeah.

But then, why would he not have killed Alex already? I mean, he had the perfect chance to when he snuck into his room, but all he left him with was just a scratch on his forehead.

Playing with his food, perhaps?

 		Precisely, or maybe he decided that it truly wasn't his opportunity. Maybe Alex waking up in the middle of it ruined the chance to the point that Slendy forgot about him for a while, or something.

 		I Agree with Acora on the point that he may be driven by impulse, but i refuse to believe he has no motive.
