I. Do You Want To Play A Game?

So, um, hello. Um. On the odd chance that anyone's reading this, you might be wondering what this is all about. Well, today, me and a few of my friends were contacted by a mysterious person who... Well, I'll just show you the logs.

[8:42:38 PM] *** Loliva Zeran added Brahian ***
[8:42:38 PM] *** Loliva Zeran added DarkShadows ***
[8:43:21 PM] *** Loliva Zeran added Alexis ***
[8:43:25 PM] Loliva Zeran: Hello
[8:43:39 PM] Brahian: hai?
[8:43:39 PM] Alexis: Eh...hello?
[8:43:51 PM] DarkShadows: hola
[8:44:08 PM] Loliva Zeran: Good, everyone is here. We can begin.
[8:44:25 PM] DarkShadows: ...
[8:44:29 PM] DarkShadows: begin what?
[8:44:38 PM] Brahian: Yes, what are we beginning?
[8:44:38 PM] Alexis: ^
[8:44:58 PM] Loliva Zeran: It's a simple game. Because it's my birthday and I'm bored.
[8:45:09 PM] Alexis: eh...happy birthday o.o?
[8:45:13 PM] DarkShadows: oh. happy birthday?
[8:45:19 PM] Brahian: happy birthday I guess
[8:45:22 PM] Loliva Zeran: Thank you
[8:46:03 PM] Loliva Zeran: Simply put the game is about finding something. The game has specific rules and specific obstacles.
[8:46:09 PM] Loliva Zeran: would you like to hear more?
[8:46:12 PM] DarkShadows: what are we finding?
[8:46:19 PM] Alexis: yes hear more!
[8:46:39 PM] Brahian: more pls
[8:46:43 PM] Loliva Zeran: That's the thing, you are finding the being that ate my heart.
[8:46:50 PM] Brahian: o:
[8:47:17 PM] DarkShadows: ... that boy is a monster, m-m-m-monster... (music)
[8:47:30 PM] Loliva Zeran: The rules are simple: 1. retrieve the heart 2. don't die
[8:47:43 PM] DarkShadows: ... wat i just i
[8:47:53 PM] Brahian: so um
[8:47:54 PM] DarkShadows: heart...? that was eaten...?
[8:47:55 PM] Alexis: o.O
[8:47:55 PM] Brahian: I don't
[8:47:57 PM] Brahian: get it
[8:48:05 PM | Edited 8:48:18 PM] Loliva Zeran: he swallowed it whole
[8:48:21 PM] Loliva Zeran: he keeps it
[8:48:30 PM] Alexis: ehm, who exactly?
[8:48:34 PM] DarkShadows: ^
[8:48:51 PM] Loliva Zeran: The man in DarkShadows's profile picture
[8:49:01 PM] Alexis: Slenderman o.O?
[8:49:03 PM] Brahian: oh
[8:49:06 PM] DarkShadows: ... Slenderman ate your heart?
[8:49:08 PM] DarkShadows: um... how?
[8:49:15 PM] DarkShadows: far as I know he doesn't have a mouth...
[8:49:24 PM] Brahian: (I thought he did...)
[8:49:30 PM] DarkShadows: also he's not really a human therefore not a man...
[8:49:34 PM] Loliva Zeran: I say eating, but more like he consumed it
[8:49:45 PM] Brahian: oh
[8:49:52 PM] DarkShadows: ... um is that a metaphor?
[8:49:54 PM] Alexis: seems gruesome
[8:50:03 PM] Loliva Zeran: maybe
[8:50:12 PM] Alexis: how old are you anyway?
[8:50:15 PM] DarkShadows: ^
[8:50:22 PM] Brahian: are you human?
[8:50:24 PM] Loliva Zeran: I turned 13 today
[8:50:30 PM] Loliva Zeran: oh yes quite human
[8:50:32 PM] Brahian: so
[8:50:35 PM] Brahian: how did he
[8:50:39 PM] Brahian: eat your heart
[8:50:44 PM] Brahian: but leave you still alive?
[8:50:59 PM] DarkShadows: ... guys, Slenderman. He's kind of eldritch.
[8:51:04 PM] Brahian: true, but
[8:51:07 PM] Loliva Zeran: I think I'm
[8:51:10 PM] Loliva Zeran: what people call
[8:51:12 PM] Loliva Zeran: a proxy
[8:51:15 PM] Brahian: oh
[8:51:21 PM] DarkShadows: hm.
[8:51:27 PM] DarkShadows: that explains it.
[8:51:42 PM] Brahian: *nod*
[8:51:45 PM] Loliva Zeran: so
[8:51:49 PM] Loliva Zeran: will you help me?
[8:51:55 PM] Brahian: maybe...
[8:51:59 PM] Alexis: eh, yeah maybe
[8:52:08 PM] Brahian: I mean, it's kinda risky
[8:52:12 PM] DarkShadows: So you think getting your heart back from Slenderman is going to, IDK, make you not a Proxy anymore...?
[8:52:21 PM] Brahian: There's also that
[8:52:44 PM] Loliva Zeran: Yeah I think so
[8:53:01 PM] DarkShadows: ... you do realize this is an extremely dangerous request you're making of us, right?
[8:53:03 PM] Brahian: seems unlikely...
[8:53:10 PM] DarkShadows: There's no guarantee he wouldn't get us too...
[8:53:21 PM] Alexis: ^
[8:53:27 PM] Loliva Zeran: I realize
[8:53:37 PM] Loliva Zeran: but I'm not asking you to tackle him directly
[8:54:06 PM] Loliva Zeran: I'm asking you to find the heart and find a safe way to retrieve it. There are ways to do that in the comforts of your home.
[8:54:30 PM] Loliva Zeran: people do it all the time, at least from the countless of runner blogs I've read.
[8:54:44 PM] DarkShadows: You realize doing it at all is extremely difficult.
[8:54:52 PM] Loliva Zeran: I realize
[8:55:07 PM] Loliva Zeran: but I was told you could help me
[8:55:12 PM] DarkShadows: ... by whom?
[8:55:13 PM | Edited 8:55:16 PM] Alexis: by whom?
[8:55:34 PM] Brahian: by whom?
[8:56:08 PM] Loliva Zeran: one of the creatures in the woods
[8:56:13 PM] Brahian: ...
[8:56:26 PM] Brahian: there's a lot of creatures in the woods
[8:56:31 PM] Brahian: but most of them don't talk
[8:56:32 PM] Loliva Zeran: oh
[8:56:36 PM] Loliva Zeran: the tree
[8:56:40 PM] Loliva Zeran: thing
[8:56:48 PM] DarkShadows: ... was it a woman both tree and woman?
[8:57:26 PM] Loliva Zeran: yes
[8:57:30 PM] Brahian: oh
[8:57:31 PM] Loliva Zeran: she mostly cried
[8:57:39 PM] Brahian: Oh.
[8:58:01 PM] DarkShadows: I've heard of her...
[8:58:07 PM] Loliva Zeran: oh
[8:58:09 PM] Loliva Zeran: good
[8:58:16 PM] Loliva Zeran: so I dont sound crazy to you people
[8:58:29 PM] Alexis: you sound a bit crazy to me, but...
[8:58:29 PM] Brahian: no, you still sound crazy
[8:58:38 PM] Brahian: just not as much
[8:59:02 PM] DarkShadows: ... I'll admit your story sounds... odd, discussing urban legends as if they existed... but I'll believe you. for now.
[8:59:24 PM] Loliva Zeran: ok
[8:59:35 PM] Loliva Zeran: so lets say I wasnt just some lunatic online.
[8:59:40 PM] Loliva Zeran: would you help me?
[8:59:45 PM] Alexis: eh
[8:59:45 PM] Brahian: um
[9:00:02 PM] Brahian: that's still asking quite a bit out of us
[9:00:10 PM] Brahian: but... I guess I could.
[9:00:55 PM] DarkShadows: ... Assuming it's real... I don't know if it would be worth the risk. It would certainly be an extremely stupid thing to undertake. But I'll help.
[9:01:20 PM] Alexis: I'm still a bit
[9:01:24 PM] Alexis: sceptical
[9:01:25 PM] Alexis: but
[9:01:33 PM] Alexis: I guess if those two are helping I might as well
[9:01:37 PM] Loliva Zeran: Great
[9:02:29 PM] Loliva Zeran: so
[9:02:37 PM] Loliva Zeran: how do you propose we go about this?
[9:02:46 PM] Alexis: eh
[9:02:59 PM] Brahian: I don't know
[9:03:06 PM] Brahian: was kinda hoping you did
[9:03:12 PM] Loliva Zeran: Im 13
[9:03:21 PM] Brahian: right
[9:03:27 PM] Brahian: well
[9:03:30 PM] Brahian: I dunno
[9:03:41 PM] Alexis: we could storm Slenderman
[9:03:43 PM] Alexis: with a knife
[9:03:50 PM] Loliva Zeran: even I know that's stupid
[9:04:30 PM] Brahian: ^
[9:04:32 PM] Loliva Zeran: Dark any ideas?
[9:05:18 PM] DarkShadows: I haven't any that wouldn't get us killed, Proxified, or in a world of hurt.
[9:05:36 PM] *** Loliva Zeran has changed the conversation topic to "SlenderHolic: Rescuing of the Heart" ***
[9:05:51 PM] Loliva Zeran: Alright now that we have our team name, lets begin
[9:06:35 PM] DarkShadows: ... *snerks at the team name but says nothing*
[9:07:25 PM] DarkShadows: So, you're apparently a Proxy, Loliva, do you know of any weakpoints or weaknesses we can use?
[9:08:10 PM] Loliva Zeran: I know that Slenderman tends to consider his jacket a pride, but not sure if thats it. I guess his weakpoints are all mental.
[9:08:38 PM] DarkShadows: hm
[9:13:31 PM] Alexis: so whats the plan here?
[9:13:55 PM] Brahian: no idea
[9:14:03 PM] DarkShadows: Note to self, don't fuck with the jacket unless you want a very angry Operator on your ass...
[9:14:21 PM] Loliva Zeran: XD
[9:14:43 PM] DarkShadows: If his weakpoints are mental, perhaps we can outthink him.
[9:14:52 PM] DarkShadows: Treat it like a game.
[9:14:56 PM] Loliva Zeran: yes
[9:14:57 PM] Brahian: seems unlikely
[9:15:00 PM] Loliva Zeran: a chess game
[9:15:08 PM] Brahian: chess?
[9:15:10 PM] Brahian: oh dear
[9:15:22 PM] DarkShadows: *smirks* Question is who plays King, and who plays Queen to oppose his black pawns?
[9:15:33 PM] Loliva Zeran: King would be Slenderman
[9:15:38 PM] Loliva Zeran: Queen would be me
[9:15:49 PM] Loliva Zeran: I dont know
[9:15:55 PM] Loliva Zeran: Im just saying things XD
[9:18:18 PM] DarkShadows: ... well I guess approaching things like a game will have to be our strategy for now. But to play it we have to learn it. Of course we're at a disadvantage, because just having a Proxy in here means he could realize what we're doing at any moment...
[9:19:14 PM] Brahian: Well, every game has to have a game plan
[9:19:21 PM] Brahian: we should think of a strategy
[9:19:25 PM] Brahian: the thing is
[9:19:44 PM] Brahian: I have no idea how to get a *heart* back from something eldritch.
[9:19:50 PM] DarkShadows: ^
[9:19:54 PM] Loliva Zeran: #####################--------------11037
[9:19:58 PM] Brahian: oh dear.
[9:19:59 PM] DarkShadows: ... oh that's good.
[9:20:01 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuO
[9:20:06 PM] Brahian: ...
[9:20:07 PM] DarkShadows: ...
[9:20:11 PM] DarkShadows: huh.
[9:20:16 PM] Brahian: (It's her isn't it...?)
[9:20:36 PM] Brahian: hello?
[9:21:14 PM] Brahian: hellooooo?
[9:21:20 PM] Alexis: hello o.o?
[9:21:26 PM | Edited 9:23:26 PM] Brahian: Thing that hacked into Loliva's account?
[9:21:29 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuOhello.children
[9:21:39 PM] Brahian: Would you happen to be the Weeping Willow?
[9:21:40 PM] DarkShadows: ... the Willow...
[9:21:55 PM] DarkShadows: ... assuming you are the real thing.
[9:22:13 PM] DarkShadows: ... well this is weird, anyone else getting some deja vu right now? Or is it just me?
[9:22:24 PM] Alexis: I did
[9:22:24 PM] Brahian: no, I'm
[9:22:28 PM] Brahian: I'm getting it too
[9:22:32 PM] Alexis: its weird
[9:22:50 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuOchildren.I.felt.needed.so.I.came.here
[9:22:57 PM] Brahian: um
[9:22:59 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:23:12 PM] DarkShadows: ... huh.
[9:23:39 PM] DarkShadows: so, if you're the Willow... did you really tell Loliva here that there was a way to, er... unProxify her?
[9:23:55 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuOthereisaway
[9:24:01 PM] Brahian: how?
[9:24:44 PM] DarkShadows: can you explain how exactly we're supposed to get a heart, that has been eaten, by a faceless tentacle monster that will probably murder us?
[9:24:56 PM] Brahian: ^
[9:25:18 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuOallyougottadoisplay.thegame
[9:25:28 PM] Brahian: um
[9:25:30 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:25:35 PM] Brahian: what are the rules?
[9:26:27 PM] DarkShadows: ... and what happens if we lose?
[9:26:41 PM] Loliva Zeran: you.play.like.chess.game
[9:27:19 PM] Brahian: so um
[9:27:23 PM] Brahian: where do we fit in?
[9:27:27 PM] Brahian: what peices are we?
[9:27:42 PM] DarkShadows: ... probably pawns.
[9:27:52 PM] Brahian: oh my
[9:27:54 PM] Brahian: don't
[9:27:57 PM] Brahian: don't say that
[9:28:01 PM] Loliva Zeran: no
[9:28:01 PM] Brahian: pawns die a lot
[9:28:11 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuO you.not.pawns
[9:28:36 PM] Loliva Zeran: Dark.you.are.knight
[9:28:45 PM] Loliva Zeran: Brahian.you.are.bishop
[9:28:55 PM] Loliva Zeran: Alexis.you.are.tower
[9:29:16 PM] DarkShadows: ... I'm the knight. Fuck. So I have to go in, and fight *the fucking Slenderman*?! O.O
[9:29:26 PM] Brahian: not neccessarily...
[9:29:34 PM] Loliva Zeran: its a metaphor dear
[9:29:35 PM] Brahian: so then
[9:29:40 PM] Brahian: who's our queen?
[9:29:43 PM] Loliva Zeran: chess is a game of outwitting the opponent
[9:29:49 PM] Brahian: and more importantly... our king?
[9:29:50 PM] Loliva Zeran: outwit
[9:29:52 PM] Loliva Zeran: slenderman
[9:29:58 PM] Brahian: wait what
[9:30:07 PM] Loliva Zeran: you interrupted me
[9:30:09 PM] Brahian: oh
[9:30:11 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:30:15 PM] Loliva Zeran: [9:29 PM] Loliva Zeran:

<<< outwit[9:29 PM] Loliva Zeran:

<<< slenderman
[9:30:20 PM] Brahian: okay, so
[9:30:27 PM] Brahian: we gotta have a queen
[9:30:30 PM] Brahian: surely
[9:30:48 PM] DarkShadows: ... I hope so?
[9:31:14 PM] DarkShadows: Queens are kinda great with destroying everything on the board.
[9:31:28 PM] Brahian: ^
[9:31:41 PM] *** Loliva Zeran added Eric Visser Three ***
[9:31:49 PM] Brahian: also a king, because- ohai eric
[9:31:50 PM] Loliva Zeran: This is the king
[9:31:53 PM] Brahian: oh
[9:32:10 PM] DarkShadows: ... Eric. So I guess we need to not let him get captured.
[9:32:16 PM] DarkShadows: or overthrowin.
[9:32:20 PM] DarkShadows: or we lose.
[9:32:20 PM] Loliva Zeran: correct
[9:32:21 PM] Brahian: yes, that would be a good idea
[9:32:34 PM] Brahian: who is the queen, though? or do we not have one?
[9:32:41 PM] Loliva Zeran: Loliva
[9:32:44 PM] Brahian: ah
[9:32:46 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:32:50 PM] Brahian: this
[9:32:54 PM] Brahian: has been good to know
[9:33:07 PM] Loliva Zeran: me.go.nowOuO?
[9:33:14 PM] Brahian: if you want
[9:33:16 PM] Alexis: if you want
[9:33:17 PM] Alexis: XD
[9:33:18 PM] Alexis: ninja
[9:33:21 PM] Brahian: lol ninja'd
[9:33:22 PM] DarkShadows: I'm guessing Willow is our Queen piece.
[9:33:25 PM] Brahian: (ninja)
[9:33:33 PM] Loliva Zeran: [9:33 PM] DarkShadows:

<<< I'm guessing Willow is our Queen piece.no
[9:33:41 PM] Loliva Zeran: Do not mistake my help here
[9:33:45 PM] Loliva Zeran: for a sign of alliance
[9:33:50 PM] Brahian: o:
[9:33:54 PM] DarkShadows: ... we're fucked.
[9:34:02 PM] Brahian: Loliva's our queen
[9:34:07 PM] Loliva Zeran: yes ^
[9:34:20 PM] Brahian: [9:32:34 PM] Brahian: who is the queen, though? or do we not have one?
[9:32:41 PM] Loliva Zeran: Loliva

See?
[9:34:24 PM] Alexis: The feeling of Deja Vu is getting stronger
[9:34:28 PM] DarkShadows: ^
[9:34:35 PM] Brahian: hm
[9:34:47 PM] DarkShadows: ... should I be scared? I mean this is just a game right? Just a... hypothetical...
[9:34:52 PM] DarkShadows: because I'm kinda nervous now.
[9:34:57 PM] DarkShadows: Not sure why but I am.
[9:35:08 PM] Loliva Zeran: OuOIts hypothetical
[9:35:21 PM] Brahian: well, we're aready treating it like one, might as well... Oh man, now I'm getting nervous too
[9:35:26 PM] Brahian: and I don't even know why
[9:36:02 PM] Loliva Zeran: #############
[9:36:09 PM | Edited 9:36:11 PM] Loliva Zeran: huh
[9:36:14 PM] Loliva Zeran: that was odd
[9:36:21 PM] Brahian: hm?
[9:36:23 PM] Loliva Zeran: my computer froze o.o'
[9:36:26 PM] Brahian: oh
[9:36:38 PM] Brahian: yeah, that was the Weeping Willow hacking into your account
[9:36:40 PM] DarkShadows: odd...
[9:36:46 PM] Brahian: she tends to do tha-
[9:36:47 PM] Brahian: wait
[9:36:52 PM] Brahian: does she tend to do that?
[9:36:59 PM] DarkShadows: ...?
[9:37:04 PM] DarkShadows: brah, what are you talking about?
[9:37:07 PM] Brahian: nothing
[9:37:08 PM] Brahian: just
[9:37:11 PM] Brahian: forget it
[9:38:03 PM] DarkShadows: ... I wish I understood why I felt nervous, if this was all a game...
[9:38:19 PM] Brahian: hypothetical game
[9:38:30 PM] Brahian: our lives are still very much in danger here
[9:38:37 PM] DarkShadows: ...
[9:38:43 PM] Loliva Zeran: guys
[9:38:43 PM] DarkShadows: then *why the fuck are we doing this?*
[9:38:48 PM] Loliva Zeran: its a hypothetical game
[9:38:50 PM] Loliva Zeran: of wits
[9:38:56 PM] Loliva Zeran: we arent going to attack anything
[9:39:01 PM] Brahian: that is true
[9:39:20 PM] Brahian: (because attacking things would just be suicide)
[9:39:30 PM] DarkShadows: indeed.
[9:39:49 PM] Alexis: I feel like we should log this
[9:39:54 PM] Alexis: I dont know why
[9:39:55 PM] Alexis: just
[9:39:57 PM] Alexis: strange
[9:39:59 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:40:01 PM] Alexis: deja vu again
[9:40:01 PM] Brahian: I can
[9:41:28 PM] Loliva Zeran: So
[9:41:39 PM] Loliva Zeran: I think this meeting doesn't need to go further
[9:41:45 PM | Edited 9:41:47 PM] Loliva Zeran: until more information has arrived
[9:41:53 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:42:18 PM] DarkShadows: ... I hope to god if this all is actually happening we didn't seriously just step into the killing field.
[9:42:25 PM] Loliva Zeran: *hugs Dark*
[9:42:31 PM] Loliva Zeran: it will all be ok
[9:42:42 PM] Loliva Zeran: I promise you that if its the last thing I promise
[9:42:57 PM] Brahian: so, how exactly do I log this? Do I like make a blog for it or something?
[9:43:25 PM] DarkShadows: ... then why do I feel like we're all severely doomed?
[9:43:33 PM] DarkShadows: That could work, Brah...
[9:43:41 PM] Loliva Zeran: good night
[9:43:43 PM | Edited 9:43:52 PM] Brahian: Do I call it SlenderHolic? o.O
[9:43:46 PM] Brahian: *call
[9:43:53 PM] Loliva Zeran: Call it the team name
[9:44:02 PM] Loliva Zeran: SlenderHolic: Rescuing of the Heart
[9:44:07 PM] Brahian: okay
[9:47:02 PM] DarkShadows: ...

For those of you too lazy to read all that, here's basically what happened: This girl named Loliva told us she was a proxy of a being known as the Slender Man (you guys should know what that is, like duh.), and that this being ate her heart. She wants us to get it back for her through some sort of game of wits, similar to chess. Not entirely sure what made us do it (though it was probably in part because of the massive deja vu this was causing us the entire time), we agreed to help. Then, Loliva's account was hacked by another being known as the Weeping Willow (not really gonna explain this one: She's a tree lady, she cries, it's slightly terrifying, end of story.), who sort of helped us... She helped us figure out our roles in the game, at least. Then she left, and we decided to log it (again, due to the deja vu). So, um. Here we are now. Logging it.

Well that's it really. So, until next time, I guess.
