So the pyramid of quotes so the Slenderman left crap there.

So this probably doesn't have much to do with the story, but as soon as I saw the title of this thread and story, I thought of that old hand-clapping poem (used to play it with my mom and friends all the time), Say Say Oh Playmate.

Quote:
Say, say oh playmate,
Come out and play with me,
And bring your dollies three,
Climb up my apple tree.

Slide down my rain barrel [or rainbow],
Into my cellar door,
And we'll be jolly friends,
Forever more - more - more!


(I know the wording's slightly different, but it seems too similar to be a coincidence, and some versions do include the line "slide down my cellar door".)

Since this is a child's poem, and these two young women have been afflicted with mental illness and been friends since they've been kids, it makes me wonder if this poem will have some significance here. It's definitely a little creepy in this context...

Course, it could just be that it's a neat little phrase and has no significance. We'll see Wink

Could the Slenderman approached them as girls.

Yeah Tharol, I was wondering that too. Though they say their symptoms have been worse/different lately, implying that it's a newer development.

It may be interesting if

Molly starts seeing/feeling the presence of Slendy and mistakes him for the spirit of her twin.

New video! Very Happy


YouTube: Link


Edit: That was amazing, alright acting aside, that was really good.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That incident with the Sara clone freaked me out, but they didn't seem THAT freaked out about it afterwards. I'm not sure if that was just bad acting though. The Molly clone was equally as freaky.

The whole sun not rising thing and the teleportation thing was really, really nicely done.

Guys, I hate being the Grinch, but... this doesn't do much for me.

Now, seen as these girls seem to have good ideas, I just want to point out what I think could be done better:

- the acting is not really realistic, which can be fixed easily.
- the thing that bogged me most about this is how expository it all is. "Well, we sure always have cameras with us and we film ourselves and have memory loss and OH HERE IS A VID OF SLENDY." It's just a bit... well, actually, quite clunky. Especially how the off-camera-comments come in.
- The effects in the first video were really interesting, and I liked it up to the point where she picks up the camera to film herself in the mirror (DONNIE DON'T DOIT DOESN'T FILM HIMSELF IN MIRRORS!!!!!!!!!1!!!!111!!). However, by the third video, I thought the distortion was done just a bit... lazily. Now, I know that many of the vloggers ain't got brilliant editing software, but... I dunno, I just feel as if, right now, with all those series, we saw so many creative "distortions" that I think the way a creator uses this effect shows how creative they are in terms of technical ideas.

Either way, I hope this goes on, and I'll check it in a bit to see how it evolved.

The only thing that bothered me was the acting. These are either the most unflappable, bad-ass girls in the history of ever, or they need to work on the acting some.

But seriously, this whole thing was rather freaky.

(Although I admit to being temporarily distracted by the cat. LOL.)

it seems the clone is comparable to a parrot in that it, as far as we know, can only say what it has already heard, and (out of the abilities of a common parrot) can only take the shape of what it has already seen. So, I have to wonder what exactly the true form of this being is.

I really liked the new vid. I love where their going with the teleporting, the clones and the time displacement. Though it does pose the question, why now?
If they've been pestered by SM all their lives (evidence being the photo of them as children with SM in the back) then why has he decided to up his game now?

I don't think the acting was too bad. My opinion is that because (it' implied) they've been dealing with freaky stuff for a while they've become used to it. Though I think more emphasis could have been made on them seeing doppelgangers (I don't think clone is the right term), especially as it seems to be the first time that they've witnessed it.

Yeah, I thought the cat noise was freaky...

Slendy was in the background?! I really need to stop drinking at 3 AM getting ready for college.

Well that's the freakiest thing I've read in a while. I think I need to lie down.

In some cases it's the same difference. XD

There was one by the bedroom door briefly. It was meowing extremely loudly, and it was kinda freaky at first. Lol. Pretty sure that was an unplanned cat scare. Cool
