Huh...so you think our lucky seven are the new army of HABITS?

Shit. That's a hell of a theory. I guess we'll know when Dixie and Alej start trying to kill each other.
Nah, not necessarily new HABITs, because HABIT from looking at him, and who he claims to have been, He's an egotist, and a megalomaniac. He loves what he does, he hates everyone that doesn't do what he wants, and he wants a lot out of people. I'm thinking Habit wants a protege, to eventually continue his work after it all.

Crazy, new theory here.

I'm not inclined to believe that HABIT is some "demon" or "possessive spirit". He keeps referring to the human nature, to birth, to family; I think he's some sort of genetic violent mindset or deviation(like schizophrenia), who is sought out by Slenderman to work as an enforcer.

This latest incarnation is tired of doing Slenderman's work, so it's possible this test is to replace HABIT as Slenderman's "mercenary", and HABIT can do what he wants to do, which, just taking a guess, wreak havoc on humans and animals alike.

THE LAST OF ROGERS NOTES CONCERNING A RATHER HANDSOME BEAST

Roger Paladino

Notes on: "THE HABIT"

July 25th 2004- I've found it. 5 years of work and I fucking found it. A survivor of one of this thing's attacks. The cops chalked it up to her husband being on PCP, they always do, but I know better, and so did Monica. Monica Shwarts is the victim, says she heard him say something about a warehouse on a back road near 54th and Holloway while he was hurting her. Says she never told the cops, she had just remembered that detail the day we spoke, just came to her she said. So I check it out and bingo, the place has all the evidence I need: countless newspaper clippings of murders and terrorist attacks that date back even farther than I thought, not to mention the fucking Nazi propaganda for fucks sake. There were also a good amount of human remains, might still use it as it's killing quarters, all the better to catch it in the act. I just have to be careful, this fucker is nasty.

July 28th 2004- I thought I might as well have my notes in one place get my shit together and make sure that I'm as prepared as I can be. So here's the list.

- I assume it can possess one or multiple persons.

- Has little to no regard for the people that it inhabits. ( in some cases mutilating its host for intimidation or just some kind of sick pleasure)

- It has the ability to push the human body to its farthest limitations (speed, strength etc.)

- It will find a new shell if its current shell is fatally wounded. (Traumatic head wounds, spinal cord damage etc.)

- No way to forcibly remove the Habit from its shell

So that's all I know about it so far. No doubt this is a dangerous one but I've dealt with nasty beings before. I'm bringing my nine millimeter berretta and some extra ammo, and a little surprise just in case I get into trouble.

July 30th 2004 [Final Entry] - I underestimated this thing. It was a fucking set-up from the beginning. I'll spare the details but let's just say I ended up in a bear trap lookin at the business end of a fucking fire axe. But even then I thought to myself "It's ok I still have my ace in the hole." I had my buddy from the PD, Ed Charleston, bring in a swat team after I told him what I found, thought he was going after a terrorist, and they arrived just in time.

I laid on the ground and that thing just looked at me and said, "Was it worth it, Roger?" And when light filled the windows behind it and they all blew out, I just smiled and said "Yup." Problem was it didn't get scared; it just smiled back and turned toward the light. I think that's when the music started, I forget the guy who sings it but that song Superbeast just started playing from the speakers in the warehouse, fucking weird.

Anyway, this is what happened: it was so fast but I remember smoke filling the room as they came in, and I remember them yelling, demanding the weapons be put down. Then the inevitable, I heard some of the men chuckling to themselves real nervously. The Habit just started walking toward them, that's when the shooting started.

I got the bear trap open just as bullets started flying, they hit everywhere but I stayed low, made for the door. Bullets don't scare me, I've been shot at before, but what did scare me was the distinct sound of a fire axe slamming through helmets and the screams of confused men who were probably wondering why their teammates were shooting them. Poor fucks never had a chance.

I made my way outside and was taken to Ed; I was just about to tell him what he was up against when the front doors flew open. It walked out with about 3 officers escorting it. The Habit was pretending to be under arrest hands behind its back and that grin on its face. Ed wouldn't listen, no one would, it didn't take long for this thing to have everyone in the whole goddamn place killing each other. Some of them were just laughing like the swat team, others were begging to be stopped, and some were just tearing out their own eyes and throats. The music was so loud it almost muffled the screams, almost. I puked, and when I looked up the chopper was falling from the sky, but I saw something in the explosion. I saw it just for a second, but it looked like a person, easily twelve feet tall and thin, with arms as long as its body. I swear I saw it again wile typing this but it doesn't matter. The Habit knocked me out and I woke up here, and here I'll die.

So that's basically what happened to me, I made sure that I left in "the cool parts" like it asked, not like I had a fucking choice. Funny thing is I really thought that this one was gonna put me on the map, oh well I always knew I was gonna die on one of these jobs but before I go I should mention to anyone else who might read this. The Habit is trying to make something, some kind of perfect shell to live in. The shell I saw it in died shortly after the fight but survived much more abuse than it should have. Just know, that if wounding its head or heart past a normal human beings limits doesn't kill it, you should run the fuck away. Well it's here now; guess this is it, whoever you are, good luck, and good bye.

-Roger Paladino

 		What I gather from that is that Habit is one hell of a beast. That's really all I can even say.

I think we already knew from HABIT's poetry that it's a rather tasteless entity.

Tasteless indeed.

So HABIT is finally drawn out in full.

Severed head, eh?

How does it 'build' a shell? By raping his own... if so, oh god...

So we can assume EVAN is this perfect shell, right??

Oh god oh god oh god oh god

 		As I said in the other thread, I rather suspect that the seven trials were an attempt to cultivate a shell.

Hell, maybe Evan's a potential shell too. Based on what we have to go on, HABIT has been trying to cultivate the ideal host for years; it would only be logical for it to have more than one iron in the fire. Maybe the winner of trial 7 gets to duke it out with Evan to see who's the better host?

 		It appears to me that Habit is forced to retreat to the Candleverse with his host Evan ever iteration... perhaps this is the only way Habit can see to break that cycle and stay in our world permanently.

 		Is Habit still the rake? The rake always reminded me of Superbeast, but not Habit exactly.

HABIT was never the Rake. Two separate entities.

 		So why exactly did HABIT decide to share this particular piece of information with us? Why would HABIT want us to know what exactly he is? Before, he was just a ghost-like thing with incredible strength, now he defines himself, leaving us free to try to find weaknesses. He was intimidating us earlier, but this?

 		So HABIT can influence multiple humans at once. Did we know this before?

And there doesn't seem to be an obvious in-game reason that HABIT would want this information shared, unless it's an attempt to show us how big and bad and powerful he is. Maybe part of the recipe for a perfect shell is finding a willing, informed host, and this is an attempt to see if one of the Rabbits will look at the situation and say, "Hey, that sounds pretty cool."

Or maybe--and this is kind of where I'm betting--this is an example of the Force of Story overriding a strictly logical narrative. Good thing HABIT never read the Evil Overlord List.

I think it's partly because he's trying to show off. "IT'S NO USE FIGHTING ME! LOOK HOW BADASS I ALREADY AM! LOOK HOW BADASS I'LL BECOME!" Otherwise I'm sure it's all part of his ~*~*~*Master Plan.*~*~*~

I found this part interesting:

So we know that 1) HABIT doesn't have a perfect track record of mass murder.

2) He likes music. Maybe he gets some sort of power-up from it? So if the boys want to kick his whiny ass they just need to deprive him of speakers, CDs and an iPod.

3) Someone hired this guy to track HABIT down. I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Corenthal would fling out prey for HABIT to chew on to see his capabilities.

 		Should we tell the guys about the warehouse, might be a lead?



Also, maybe they should try to contact the people mentioned.


Unless their no longer here...
