Waiting Game

So, thought I'd update you guys... It's been around for a couple of days now... It was around when I made my last post too actually, I just didn't really feel like making mention of it at the time...

It comes and it goes. But I'd say it's pretty obvious it knows I'm here. Which is... you know... fan-fucking-tastic. But whatever, we all knew this was coming... I knew it wouldn't last forever... this was destined to happen the moment I exposed myself by starting to blog about the thing, so here we are. Time to deal with it.

Oh... and I can see it for real now. Second time he showed up, either I'd managed to break the barrier or he just stopped pretending to give a shit about hiding from me... whatever the case, yeah, I'm staring at the real monster now. And yes, it is unnerving as fuck.

Luckily, he's staying outside and just sort of wandering around when he's here. It's interesting... I've never really seen him "walking" before now. How something manages to move in a manner that looks completely natural and yet completely wrong at the same time is beyond me. He still "teleports" around too, but it takes me a while to pick up on that, since one moment he'll be one place and then the next he's just gone and it takes a second before my brain actually registers the fact. Like there's some kind of perceptive delay. Then maybe I'll spot him again on another camera a moment later. If I don't, then he's either left or just outside camera visibility somewhere.

I have to say, I'm surprised the cameras are even holding up. I expected a bunch of interference or something when he showed up, but really they only show signs of static every so often and that's about as bad as it gets. Maybe what we normally see in vlogs is just him screwing up the part of the camera that does the actual recording/saving bit. The tape or whatever. I dunno. I'm just glad I can kind of keep an eye on him.

I figure it's only a matter of time before he tries to get inside. I'm not sure exactly how that's going to happen either. He may know I'm here, and I'm sure my steadily growing paranoia is making that Aaaaall the more obvious, but he still can't see me. And since he can't see inside of this place, trying to "teleport" himself inside is probably quite dangerous. (Though if he does try that and manages to fuck up and kill himself via telefrag then I am going to laugh my fucking ass off.) Not sure how obvious the "door" is to him, but I'm kind of hoping that would hold up against an attack. I mean, this is a fallout shelter, it should be able to survive the shockwaves from an atom bomb. I doubt they managed to test it against Slender Tentacles, but hey, tough is tough, right? Right? <.<;

For now I'm just waiting things out. I've got a bag packed and ready to go. In the event of an emergency, all I need to do is grab it and my laptop and I'm out the door. I'll try to keep you up to date but... haaaa... yeah, may become a bit strapped for typing time real soon so... maybe just keep holding your breath or something.

Things that go Bump in the Daylight

Well, while we’re touching on things I don’t understand very well and would rather not think about, time to get another goodie out of the way...

Put bluntly, “Monsters Are Real.”

Obviously we’re all good buddy buddies with the Construct by now, so we know he’s out there, staring in our windows at us. So why should it really be all that surprising that there are Other Things out there as well?

I mean, I’ve certainly tried to deny that claim for a while now too. Especially while going over Nicky Sage’s blog. He throws around talk of demons and other worlds like candy at a parade. But given that he’s one of the few people to really take things that far, I like to pretend that he’s crazy and doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Unfortunately, the more you dig into this mess, the more you have to admit, his stories may hold more weight than most of us would like to imagine.

First there was Zero’s “Bleeding Tree.” Then the unusual creature which appeared in the EverymanHYBRID videos... the uhhh... the “Garden Hoe” right? Isn’t that what Vince called it? And though I could call them proxies, there’s whatever the hell HABIT and the Observer, from EMH and Tribe Twelve respectively, are. The further you dive down the rabbit hole, the creepier it gets. I don’t even want to talk about some of the shit I read about on Joey Steward’s blog.

I don’t think we’ll be able to ignore it all forever. That “Veil” Nick keeps talking about is bound to come down sooner or later. My only hope is that if it does, humanity will finally be able to work together as a united collective to fight these monsters off and reclaim our once peaceful world. That’s being extremely positive on the subject, but best to approach these things in as high spirits as possible, least the news crush you under it’s weight.

I can only really spend so much time researching how to fight these things though, so I’m gonna stay focused on the Construct. One thing at a time. Figure out how to actually kill one monster before you start going after others. I’m mostly just bringing this up to make sure that people are aware of the lurking dangers and to make one minor point that I’ll expand upon later. That being that these things are out there. They’ve ALWAYS been out there. We didn’t “think” them all into existence. They’ve been around for as long as stories about ancient beasts and mythical creatures have existed. Maybe even longer...

...but we’ve survived them for centuries. And we can continue to do so.

Perception is Key.
