Sorry For The Silence

I haven't been able to get on Blogger as of late, and I'm busy with looking for information on the NCC. Slenderman hasn't shown up for awhile, which is good, but I've also failed to get anymore leads on the NCC, which isn't good.

Room 44

 The NCC building has a number on each door. I'm still looking for answers in here, and I find a hallway with rooms 40-49. But the door to Room 44 seems....different. For one, it seems like its made of a different material than all of the other doors in this building. Also, there's a slot in the door that looks like the person in the room could open it to make eye contact with whoever is standing on the other side of the door.
I try to open the door. It's not locked, but I can't get into the room. Here's why. I open the door, and I find myself back at the end of the hallway.
There's something in that room that it doesn't want me to see.

More Data

OK, so I decided to take comment from a reader to heart and tried to figure which drugs were being administered to the patient mentioned in the documents. Check this out:
"Required Medication for Initial Testing: 2 CCs of Tupholdax."
"Tupholdax dosage needs to be increased, frequency still too strong. Anomaly is still make itself present to patient."
"Patient had adverse reaction to to increased Tupholdax. Switching to Einade."
"Einade had no effect. The patient is still reporting the presence of the Anomaly. We are going to abandon the use of Einade and go straight to the Caecus Alpha/Placidus mixture."
"C.A./P mixture seems to be effective. Going to separate the drugs and see which one is allowing the patient to escape the Anomaly's attention."

OK, so if my guesses are correct, these drugs were supposed to allow the patient to somehow elude the Slenderman. Dunno how it works, but it actually makes me want to try the stuff for myself...though, I am wary of shooting myself up with strange chemicals in syringes....maybe I've played a bit too much Bioshock.

The NCC Building

I've found my destination. It looks all nice and pretty on the outside, but on the inside...

...not so much.

I didn't find anyone here. Did find some documents, though.

Here are some interesting statements:

"...the operation was a success, we have high hopes for Dr. Skinner's "Samsara Project".

"...we have finished testing the patient. Readings were decreased- a good sign. Patient has not reported any sightings of the Anomaly."

"...the patient has disappeared from her ward. We believe the Anomaly had a hand in this."

"...the search for a new subject has begun."

I believe that this "Anomaly" in question is Slenderman himself. But the DVD said the Coalition was a "philosophical" group. This looks like an experimental medicine facility.

Even in my search for answers, I'm left with more questions.

...I did some more looking around. Found a bunch of syringes. Weird labels. "Tupholdax", "Einade", "Caecus Alpha", "Placidus"...the list keeps going on and on.

Gonna keep looking for more documents, opefully they'll give me some actual answers.

I'm Getting Sick Of This Crap

This "Gypsy Child" is getting on my nerves. I don't buy his fortune teller schtick. "Excessive power"? "Shallow overindulgence"? "A leader directing others to their end"? What a load of bullcrap! I'm sick of all of this. I'm being left with more questions than answers, and I just want to go back to living a normal life. I want my dog back, I want my girlfriend back. I want to go drinking with my buddies again. But because of that faceless creep in a business suit, I can't do ANYTHING! I need answers.
My thoughts keep going back to the DVD and the journal. Who does the coded journal belong to? Who is Benjamin Skinner? What does the New Creation Coalition have to do with me?
....The DVD mentioned something about North Hartside. That's not too far from my home. I'm gonna look into it.

Predator and Prey

Dang it, dang it, dang it.

Sorry for the long delay. There have been.....issues. I decided to leave the country for a vacation, took a plane to Tokyo. Yes, I got to live out every otaku's dream. Old Faceless wouldn't hate me enough to go across an entire stinkin' ocean just to harass me, right?

Wrong.

I somehow ran into a Japanese gang dring my holiday. Not the Yakuza, per se, but it might as well of been. There was a language barrier in effect during the attempt to mug me, so things were going nowhere.

The muggers pulled out knives, and I thought it was lacy gently wafting curtains for moi when I found out something:
Slender Man's been kicking around Japan for a while now. Except he's not called "Slender Man" there. He's called "Noppera-bo".

I just can't catch a break, can I?

Going AWOL

I'm leaving. I'm packing a suitcase, I've put gas in my car, and I want to go somewhere, anywhere, anywhere that's not here. I can't take another hour of staring at his eyeless face through the glass door. I'm getting the hell outta here. Sayonara, Stone River.
I've wanted to take a vacation for a while now. Maybe I should go to San Francisco, or Vegas, or New York City. Somewhere crowded, where I can hide myself amongst the mundane, amongst the Ignored. Somewhere that doesn't have many trees or forests.
John Leon is going on holiday.

Trapped In My Own Home

I haven't slept for 40 hours. Slenderman's been lurking outside my house for hours on end lately. He's planning something.
I want out of my house.
I can't take being locked up in here.
Skippy's still missing. Gloria moved back in with her parents. She's scared.
I hate my life.
I hate him.
It's all his fault.
He's trying to making me suffer.
Why? Why me?
He hates me. I just know it.
He wants me dead.

What is the meaning of this intrusion?

As you can see, I've been hacked. I want to know who cracked my account, and what the fuck they're saying. And this guy has messed with my Blogger faves, too! I've never heard of the Tutorial....but....
could this help me? Is this hacker trying to help?

....I'm completely lost.

A Note From Gloria

Hello, it's me! John's not very good at remembering to update the blog.
So, here's what's happened since he posted that newspaper clipping.
>The Headset Kid was on the news. He had hung himself from a jumprope attached to a power line and died. But how'd he get all the way up there?
>Skippy ran away : (
>John got laid off. From what he's told me, it sounds like the company's about to go bankrupt.
>Some vandal painted some cryptic shit on the side of the house:
                        (X)
He waits for his Children to return to him.
>Slenderman appeared in our bedroom closet. He's been coming inside the house more often now.




I'm scared

This is interesting....

Transcripts

OK, here's an update. Last night, i found a DVD in my mailbox.

I've written down the contents of the video

[3 seconds of blank screen]
[Shows a white building surounded by a lush green lawn]
Women's Voice: Hello. If you're watching this, you want to know more about the New Creation Coalition.
The NCC is a philosophical group dedicated to progress of mental sciences and studies.

[Man in lab coat appears on screen]
Lab Coat Man: Hello, I'm Doctor Benjamin Skinner.  Here at NCC, we preform experiments that can change the future. Please, if you are so inclined, sign up to participate in these experiments, that are safe, simple, and are monetarily rewarde-

Woman's voice: -veniently located in North Hartside

...I'm absolutely terrified.

Broken Bones and Hair-Trigger Tempers

OK, so it looks like Slenderman or one of his Slendergoons really broke my dog's leg. Skippy's OK, but he'll be in a cast for a month or two. But that really pisses me off!

Recap

Sorry I haven't updated lately. I was at my parents for the holidays. Got some cool stuff: Batman Arkham City, $230, Blue Dragon, Brink, and NO SLENDY!!! That alone was the best Xmas gift EVER :D

But New Years Eve was an entirely different story.

First, at 11:11 amThe Headset Kid came back. He had a scarf on, so I didn't see his face, but I could he had THE FUCKING (X) SYMBOL on his forehead. It could've been a tattoo, but who gives a teenager a tattoo? He was gone fairly soon after

One hour and one minute later (12:12, for those of you playing along at home), Slenderman was back in my yard. One of the tentacles went for the door, and ripped it off its hinge.

Less than half a second and he was in my face, and the tentacles were around my throat.

I was almost certain i was gonna get tenta-raped.

But then he was gone, I was on the floor, my nose was bleeding, Skippy was limping like something broke his leg, and Gloria was shaking me awake.

WHAT THE HELL

Looking back at my blog, there's a bunch of weird tags. I never put those there.

So, in short, Headset Kid's weirder than fuck, and Slenderman is PISSED.
