 		I both love and hate how every new entry manages to answer a few questions but leave us with many more.

Ok, so now that the initial WTF!? has slowed down, let's focus on the few things that we've learned, shall we boys and girls?

Alex is familiar enough with Jessica that he has her phone number. Whether the three lived together is up for random speculation, but it's safe to say that Jessica was close enough to Alex to be influenced/haunted by the Slenderman.

Alex continues to be sketchy with Jay regarding his current residence. When he does finally appear to go "home" he ends up passing through some type of warp and into the middle of a strange and empty forest where he meets with the Slenderman and is subsequently pulled in.

This part is the most interesting to me... Alex is sitting by his car, forlorn, waiting, hesitating almost, then he seems to know EXACTLY where to go, and doesn't scream or run upon seeing Slenderman. I think, much like many have assumed Masky/Tim are, Alex has become a vessel for the Slenderman, and the intended target (and possibly the target all along) is Jay.

Thoughts?


I posted a list like this but everyone missed it.

Jay: Who are you calling?
Alex: Roommate. [pause] Hey Jessica, it's Alex... I was just calling to see if you heard from Amy recently. [...]

They were living together.


I believe he meant the three of them, Alex, Amy and Jessica, since a box with Alexs stuff (including camera) were at Amy and Jessica's and he had an apartment (supposedly, after seeing where he went).

Also, there was no warping, just an odd entry to the creepiest damn forest I've ever seen.

 		I know it looks like it, but Alex didn't "teleport" when going into the hole. It was just really big shrubbery at the edge of the forest. You can even see the trees through the hole from the other side.

Not to mention there is no "transition" the reason it's so smooth is because it literally is all one take.

 		I want to know if Alex is intentionally walking towards Slenderman or if he's being drawn to him. If you listen to the footfalls, it's a slower, almost shambling pace as opposed to his average gait while heading towards the forest.

Or Alex was living in his apartment while Amy and Jessica were living together. It could be close by so he was always over at her place.


Possibly, but remember the entry this one refers to.
Amy says, "I didn't know we had a camera."
Alex's camera was stored back in the closet. I doubt he'd leave it there at his girlfriend's house.

Yeah, didn't want to use the word teleporting, but I don't think the entry into the forest was natural.

Most likely drawn forward.

I feel like it's deliberate. He had just fallen over coughing and stuff like people do when they're around Slendy. I feel like walking closer to him would cause him to get more sick, so it would take a lot of effort... yeah.

 		I think it's intentional...others including Alex have had encounters with The Operator and they have fled...and before that J seemingly had the closest encounter with The Operator and he was able to escape...

Agreed. Intentional.
ETA: I sounded like a douche. That's my opinion and it could be wrong. (:

 		The last bit makes me ask:
-What lured Alex to enter the woods? Slenderish-manipulation? He simply felt curious?
-Is it just me, or Slendy seemed a bit different than the last times?
-And the distortion just before he entered: Hood, Masky or Slendy? Or Slendy and someone/thing) else?

 		I think it can be agreed on that:
--Alex cannot be trusted, especially on any of the entries following this one.
--The Operator has control of Alex.
and possibly...
--Alex knowingly/willing gives the Operator control over him.

So I don't know if anyone here has read Ella Enchanted, but the main character in that story has to obey. She can try to fight against it, but it causes her sickness, dizziness, nausea, etc. But as soon as she gives in and obeys, she instantly feels better. Maybe it's the same way with Slendy. Like a defense mechanism so no one ever can get close enough to figure out what the hell he is. P:

Perfectly summed up!
