Well, this is definitely going to take some getting used to. I’ve never slept well on the first night in a new place. Gets easier with time... but then most times I’m adjusting to an actual bed, not some shitty cot I scored on the cheap at an army surplus. Beats sleeping on the floor though, so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining.
Anyways, guess I should pick up from yesterday.
I’m still doing a lot of reading. This whole thing kind of got dumped on me all spur of the moment, so I haven’t really had a lot of time to prepare here. Most of what I’ve been going by are notes from ...ahh... a friend. Let’s call him “Onewinged.” I think he’d like that...
Um, sorry, moving along then... I’ve been going through all of the reference material I got from him, but there’s a freaking ton of it and all full of links to blogs and vlogs. I’m not a speed reader folks, so even with all the time in the world this is gonna take me a while, but I’m moving as fast as I can. It’s an awful lot of information to try absorbing all at once, you know? I think I’ve got a lot of the basics down though, so that’s a good start. Might start commenting a few places in another day or so... assuming of course that the blogger is still ALIVE by the time I reach the end of their blog. That seems to be a rather troubling occurrence I keep running in to. Hopefully there are still plenty of you alive out there that I just haven’t stumbled across yet. Maybe I should do a little more cross examining through the comments section of some of these things.
But that’s what I’m doing, not who I am or where I am, so I guess I’m not doing a very good job of this whole explaining thing, huh? My apologies. I ramble on at times.
I called myself The Gargoyle in my previous posting. It’s a name I felt appropriate given my situation. A name which, alongside the little blurb I made along with it, in retrospect, makes me sound like one of these “Proxy” people, given how closely the description could mirror “Him.” I’d like to take the moment to assure you that this is not the case. In fact, I’ve never actually even seen the thing. The amount of time I’ve spent knowing about him could be approximated at thereabouts 24 hours. As such, for me to be leaping so deep into the thick of all this probably sounds like an incredibly stupid idea. To which I must say... Yes. Yes, it most certainly is. But I don’t think I really have much of a choice in the matter at this point. I have Onewinged to blame for that. But we can get into that later... I’d... really rather not talk about him right now.
The name ties in to where I am, so I suppose that’s next and it’s a doozy, so hang on tight. At this very moment, I am basically sitting in a small hole, several feet underground, in the middle of fucking nowhere... in the Woods. Clearly a brilliant place to hide, I know. [/Heavy Sarcasm] Bear with me though, it gets better. This place is essentially an old Cold War fallout shelter, abandoned by the owners several years ago. Several feet of reinforced concrete, itself buried under quite a few layers of dirt and rock, the only entrance a heavy steel door cleverly concealed within the side of a hill. Was quite run down when we found it, but I’ve been spending several months now refurbishing the place, for purposes I was not immediately aware of. It’s lucky that I wasn’t though, else I wouldn’t have had the chance to stockpile the thing so well with non-perishable food-stuffs and other basic necessities. Because now that the door is sealed shut, so I can’t exactly go out for pizza...
I think I’ll survive though. For a while at least. I have the advantage of being unmarked by The Tall One. That should by me more than enough time to complete my research and get to work helping as many people as possible before I stumble on to his radar. And even then, with the secretive nature of my location, hidden from any means of view, I’m hoping it will take him quite a while to find his way to me. That’s essentially my gambit anyways... I’ll try to explain it better over time.
I think that’s about enough expository monologuing for one day though. I’m assuming you have other blogs to read, places to go, people to see, Eldritch Abominations to not get tentacle raped by... Things of this nature.
Be seeing you.
My location isn't in the middle of nowhere. But it is far from woods, so I should be safe for a while.
ReplyDeleteNot getting tentacle raped is indeed on my agenda, thank you, dear. ^.^
ReplyDeleteSeriously.. I think I'm becoming more intrigued by the post, each one I go by, I want to read more.
Hopefully this pattern continues.
You seem to think you cannot be found. Perhaps I should prove you wrong. Simply for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteS
@S - Ooooo~ another person who's name is a letter! How "original."
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I take it you hadn't gotten to post four yet when you wrote this? Whatever. I don't hold the illusion for a second that I'm beyond anyone's reach, but certainly, yes, finding me would likely be somewhat of a "challenge" for you. So good luck with that.
You've given several identifying pieces of information about where you are, Gargoyle. But then again, maybe you lied in them. -shrugs- Not like we all haven't lied once or twice..
ReplyDeleteI am not a proxy. I was simply bored. Evading proxies is quite easy for me and finding your bunker provided a distraction.
ReplyDeleteAlso I do not care how original my "name" is. I simply believe it to be rude to leave a message without an identifier.
S
there is a letter difference between being anonymous and being you.
ReplyDeleteNot that big of a difference.
Care to give us a link? Or a reason to care?
I prefer the distinction and how slight it is. It is important to observe the details. I have no link to give you. Perhaps after my next job. Or perhaps not. Blogs do not seem to work well for its victims.
ReplyDeleteS
Being a victim in general does not seem to help the victims. You seem to forget the distinction. Blogs do not hurt the victims, being one of the Haunted does. They die whether they write about it or not, it's the Compulsion that drives us to write, however. Perhaps the Rake never found you? I don't know. I don't think I want to, either.
ReplyDeleteBlogs do not help either. They can draw attention and reveal secrets. We will all die so we are all victims. Those who stay concealed may survive longer though. I do not have the compulsion to write and I see little point in starting something I will not use.
ReplyDeleteS
Well then.. I must say, I will most likely go on to ignore you now. Anon's are boring, and you have no real point if there isn't a place to collect your information and people interested in your cause. I've only known one technical anon that could get away with it, and that was David. And honestly, I don't feel like repeating anything like him ever again.
ReplyDeleteAs you wish. I have no need for attention. A pleasure talking to you.
ReplyDeleteS
Whoops... another case of not checking the email... huh. Well, looks like the convo is over, but for the record, I didn't call you a proxy "S" just another person with a one letter name. I believe we're collectively gone through the alphabet a couple of times now...
ReplyDeleteAnd I've given hints, hmm? Deliberately vague pieces of information perhaps... but anything I've given could easily describe hundreds of locations.
You seemed to imply it with the subject of the post you referanced. My associates are discussing beggining a blog. If that occurs I will be sure to develop a better alias.
DeleteS
Oh XD No, no... simply found an anonymous comment on a very early blog posting and began to have flashbacks. Hence the reference.
ReplyDeleteI'd have accused Dia of the same, but post four was technically already making a reference to her (in my head), without her knowledge. Which, since she subscribes to comments, she shall likely come and slap me for shortly. But in my defense, the comments you left on the first few posts of Morningstar's blog are retrospectively facepalm worthy, are they not? XD
...remember the very first thing I said when I came back from my 'haitus?' That we needed to talk? Yeah, you and I very much need to talk. Again.
ReplyDeleteSneaking headcanon past me, and making me dig through your posts AGAIN? What dirty work. What fun. Flashbacks...? Time to make a trip to post four, eh?
pretty sure my email is posted around... somewhere... isn't it on my profile? God damnit it's not on my profile! *fixfixfixfix*
ReplyDeletecourse I guess I could try emailing you too, it just didn't occur to me that you'd want me to and- is that a Loveless reference in your email address...?
... I've tried emailing you. Three times. Plus an email on another site. So honestly, I'm pissed and ready to give up by this point. Being ignored isn't exactly something worth beating your head against the wall for.
Deleteoh... I didn't get any of those then o.o;
Deletesomething must have gotten mixed up in the address?
the only things in my inbox are comment notifications. The only other emails I've ever gotten are two from Freedomcaged and those are over a month old by now.
Fine, you know what?
Deleteritsuka.kairos@gmail.com
There. Email that. Now you can't say there's a mistake.
My inbox hates you all, just so you know.
ReplyDeleteSee you around
-Cage
You're welcome. <3
DeleteAnd see? that's precisely why I don't subscribe to comments. XD
ReplyDeleteLiar.
DeleteOh my inbox hates you, but I'm sitting here laughing at my computer like a crazy person, so I'd say it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteSee you around
