Dean. DEAN! Did you see what was up on the board? That picture? Man, tell me you have dad's journal or something, because my laptop isn't here, so this might not all be accurate

Slender Man? So that's what it's called?

Do you really think there's one out there?

There are several children in this world.. this is bad.

[onetruevessel]

That's the name they gave for it. Because its not so much a he, its an it.

I would be lying if I said no. Legends and local lore is usually based in some type of reality, so yeah. I think there's one out there.

How many are there?

[agent_africa]

I don't know.

But.. I think Matt would know. He's the new leader of the Task Force. I think he's been here longer than anyone by now.

By the way, welcome back, Sam. Not that I expect you remember.

[onetruevessel]

I'll have to go and talk to him, then. We're going to need a lot of preparation in case this thing comes.

...I don't remember, but. Thanks, I think. What's your name? I'm sorry, I should have asked that first thing.

Slender Man -

Shit - I think I might've seen something on the 'net of him before I came here too. IF that thing is really around here, we're in a lot of trouble.

[onetruevessel]

He was first mentioned on a few websites, but we've dealt with shapeshifters before, but nothing on this level. I don't remember seeing anything that would get rid of him.

But we're going to have to find something.

[kickwaves]

I didn't see anything either - I just thought he was an urban legend before. But considering what - [Molly cuts off with a sigh]

Research really isn't my thing, I was the one that usually fought whatever we found if necessary. But it looks like rushing in blindly is only gonna make it worse.

[onetruevessel]

Urban legends usually have the same thing in common, at the basics. Like bloody Mary, the name never changes, and she always attacks someone. But the actual Mary story always changes, no matter what town you're in.

You sound like my brother. I don't always like it, but research is always helpful. I don't know if the library here has anything that would help, but I might go and check it out.

[myownmemory]

A shape-shifter?

I thought it was...just somebody's bad picture.

[onetruevessel]

Yeah. But not the normal kind who take other people's bodies. He likes to stand out, I guess.

Unless its someone's idea of a joke? Though who would think to put that as a joke, which seems really suspicious to me.

[myownmemory]

Oh...well at least he won't be copying any of us. So you don't know what happens, after they get snatched?

Maybe. I don't know. Alfred isn't here anymore, or I'd say it's him. Who else would know about legend like that?

[onetruevessel]

I don't. There's never been any bodies recovered after they disappeared.

My brother, if he remembers it. Anyone who has internet access and a morbid curiosity.

[raptureblues]

You think we really got some mythic babysnatcher in our midst?

[onetruevessel]

I think so. Or more correctly, I think we will. We'd know if he was already here.

[raptureblues]

You summon this kinda slenderman up with some magical hoodoo?

[onetruevessel]

No ma'am. You don't summon him at all, from what I've heard. He just appears.

[cutestnightmare]

Kids?

[onetruevessel]

Anyone under the age of 18.

[cutestnightmare]

Oh~ dear.

[onetruevessel]

Yeah. And I know we have a few around here.
