Whether he <i>will</i> do them is a different matter entirely. It is true, I was not in the forest and from the story I read, it was not pleasant. But the forest was a byproduct of the Slender Man, not Writer. If Writer had never seen, never been touched by the Slender Man, he would only be a common sociopath, subject to the rules and laws of man.<br /><br />Curious, though, that the sociopaths tend to gravitate towards the Slender Man. They are usually not one to become servants to other men or groups.

Or perhaps to debase one's imagining of what terror is. Nevertheless, I doubt Writer or Valtiel could come close to the terror that the Slender Man represents, yet many still fear them simply because they are more comprehensible, more human than the Pale King. For this, they are less frightful though, since terror implies the unknown and the Slender Man is the unknown given form.The Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507190700327362947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043247605203567916.post-8210176562560378672012-03-09T14:10:12.657-05:002012-03-09T14:10:12.657-05:00I did say almost.

It's an odd balance to hold, honestly. The Dragon has too many heads. It would be amusing if it weren't so pathetic. However, to attempt to organize anything against them... well, you're suggesting a movement to get murderers, thieves, and born traitors to place their lives in each others' hands.

Apparently, no matter what the situation, there is always going to be that one guy who demands that all activities be documented and filed neatly in order.

About three useless weeks after Phillip showed up in my class I received an e-mail telling me that I was his handler. When I e-mailed the person back to tell them that I wasn't a proxy and I had no desire to be anyone's handler, and by the way you're at least two weeks too late for this information to be worth anything to me, I just got some BS about how we all play roles for the "Father" and if I didn't like it I could take it up with Him personally. I figured it was more productive to just block to e-mail address after that, I clearly wasn't going to get anything useful out of whoever it was. <br /><br />They better not sign me up for the weekly newsletter, I am <i>not</i> a freaking proxy.<br /><br />See you around<br />-CageFreedomCagedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134996398166499193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043247605203567916.post-28451914865276715762012-03-07T19:11:19.889-05:002012-03-07T19:11:19.889-05:00Curious.
