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?


This does seem to imply Slenderman is very directly responsible for the "iterations"/any timefuckery. Which is something I think we all assumed, but if they all emit something, then it's a more solid lead than we've had so far...?

I do like this theory. Sort of a trace of whoever's from the candleverse.

PLUS, in a metatextual, narrative sense it provides a way for us to define the boys as "other."

Slendy, HABIT, and the Rake can be assumed to be "Other," right? Just by dint of who/what they are. But to prove that a group of seeming humans have something off about them as well? Well... you'd need a device. I mean... a narrative device... but a geiger counter like device serves that function just fine. Smile

But we're still left with the need to test Jeff and Vin.

 		So. The crew passing out and bleeding from every orifice except their mouths was caused by exposure to sigma radiation. Vinnie throwing up ash was caused by exposure to sigma radiation. Evan's internal bleeding was caused by exposure to sigma radiation.

I feel horrible for saying it, but I really want to know that the individual effects of sigma radiation on Jeff and Stephanie are.

It's times like this when I miss Shaun.

 		Stephanie made art that, among others, included a dead Rabbit and a Joker-type character...

Now should be the moment to re-visit her art!

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.

Okay this is an incredibly noobie question, but where does the term "candleverse" come from and what does it signify?

It refers to the most recent 'hidden video', where there are clips of the boys sitting in a dark room around a bunch of candles. We've deduced this this place is an alternate dimension or something similar, and 'Candleverse' is one of our names for this place. I, personally, prefer Candle Cove.

Even though there isn't any static.

Yeah, well, I've always found Candle Cove amusing.

This is my biggest reservation to the radiation=Candleverseling theory as well. While I find the theory very appealing, the way we were introduced to Sigma radiation gives me pause. If we assume that Slendy's jacket is not bodily part of him, then my pause is even bigger.

My initial set of assumptions was that

A. From the jacket scrap, we know that proximity to Slender Man irradiates (relatively) mundane materials. (This assumes Slendy's jacket is just a jacket, not an exoskeleton.)
B. HABIT, being incorporeal, is pretty much a traveling mass of Sigma-emitting energy. (We have to nod toward comic-book physics here, but that's OK.) Think of sigma radiation as the EMH version of ectoplasm.
C. During inHABITation, the HABIT-energy-mass is physically present within the inHABITed body.
D. The proximity of the HABIT-energy-mass to the inHABITed's blood leaves that blood sigma-radioactive.

I think CoA's theory is much more elegant, but that scrap of jacket combined with the fact that only Evan's blood, not his body, is radioactive bugs me.

The only thing that really differentiates Evan in this matter is that he's inHABITed, so if his blood is the only one that's irradiated, then you're almost certainly right.

Gimme- Well, we already know there's going to be a crossover, so...

But seriously, chill on the trollin'.

 		I rather doubt that jacket is really a jacket. It's just his form.
