[Static. Interference. Silence.

If you are awake at all tonight and tap into your communicator, then it is very likely for you to experience these three things.

If you are awake at all tonight and have ventured into the darkness, then please use caution, because lurking and always watching... is him. Even indoors there he'll be in the blink of an eye. It's him, he's here, a blank face perhaps at your bedside or just along your window pane.

And then after a high pitched squeal of static and distorted screams--]

found you

((OOC: Please keep this list in mind if you choose to interact with The Operator at all. Thank you... and tread carefully.))

	[QB smacks off his communicator, the sound having hurt his sensitive ears. Incubators don't really feel fear the same way humans do, though they still possess the instinct for self-preservation.] [And he knows there is something really, really bad happening right now, and that he should probably not indulge it.] [The Incubator races away.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[The Slenderman sees this interesting creature and stays in the shadows, watching and waiting, but when it flees he knows that he doesn't need to rush. He's patient and moves, quietly and without making a single print on the ground. ... Moments later he's there, standing far away, but certainly visible if this little thing looks over its shoulder.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The Operator pursues still, coming closer, breaking the gap and when the creature starts to wriggle under a building it stops less than five feet away, arms outstretched to try and grab it.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[Cain never has any good judgement, ever. Or luck. He's at least afforded a little bit of durability by being non-human and psychic. He's outside, miserable, and on his second week of withdrawal. He's just making a trip to the convenience store for some juice when he turns around to stare blankly at The Operator. Cain isn't super close at this point. The Operator looks like a familiar not-face. He cringes with the distortion. It's not terribly weird or abnormally painful for him, so he just doesn't pick up the forboding well. He then reads the on-screen text.]

A Rabbit? Here? You aren't supposed to be able to communicate.

	[The Operator stands there, staring with its eyeless face, and when he's spoken to he barely moves. His arms are spindly and long, hanging towards the ground, and just slightly his fingers twitch. The following text is once again followed by static and hissing.] here now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, obviously. [Cain steps forward, really not as scared as he should be. Once he's about ten feet away his brain starts hissing, and he can feel something popping. He's vaguely aware that his circuitry isn't pleased with him.] Are you causing me to short?! [It's not a short, it's a Little Different from that. He grips his head, sliding back in obvious pain.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Cain looks around wildly! That definitely was not expected and certainly not okay. Not a Rabbit, then. They couldn't teleport. Not that teleportation wastoo weird for Cain, he just wasn't expecting it and it startled him. ... Now where... was he?] Show yourself! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Cain starts coughing as his brain is screeching. The circuitry is overloading very quickly, and he himself teleports to gain some distance. He turns to face where he was expecting The Operator to have shown up.

Cain wants to scan the area for the Slenderman's psychic footprint- anything to reveal an origin or anything, really. He puts his hand up to draw in information]

[And what the boy sees is horror.

There's a story here, but the scenes are garbled and chaotic, almost like film that has been cut up, thrown into a fire, and stitched back together with flimsy pieces of wire. What he'll see is The Operator, standing close, closer than he should ever be, with his blank white face and spindly, spider-like arms extending out to his side. It can't be known whether he's stretched them this way in welcome or in fury, but before Cain will figure it out, The Operator has disappeared, replaced with a grey area filled with dead trees, charred grass, and shadowy caves.

There's chanting and yelling, women and children screaming as men are hoisted high into trees, their limbs tied and bleeding to shower the innocent below. Red overflows like bittersweet wine from their wrists and their ankles, painting the young faces back on earth.

Then there's static. More screaming. Screeching and violent waves of several arms stretching towards the night sky as men cry out HELP HELP HELP! But no one will come. Not a soul saves their own, and by dawn the stretched and tattered corpses of several young men hang putrid and mangled by their own dislocated and ripped apart limbs.

Wild dogs rip apart the remaining flesh while flies and ravens ascend from the very reaches of hell to feast upon the dead sinners left to rot in the rotten wood. There's silence... there's silence...

... But then The Operator returns with a flash of static and screaming, perhaps appearing in several shots of Cain from the past, the tall man lurking in the shadows, watching everything he does, stretched arms, blank face, watching, watching, watching.]

[Touma was returning from the library late and heading back to where he was staying now. He was sort of distracted as he walked, focusing on a notebook that he was writing in, gathering his thoughts and remembering things he had been working on in the previous dome.

Was someone following him? What a strange feeling...

He paused to look back, not sure if he saw a shadow move or not.]

	[The Operator was there, standing, silent, and observant from a far enough distance. His dark body blended in well with the shadows, but he was certainly there, the white face staring forward.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He made a doubletake. He hadn't immediately seen the white, but he could see it now. And it was disturbing. He wasn't sure if it was the distance or not, but there was... no... face... And damn that was creepy. He started walking faster. Without his armor or his bow, he suddenly felt very vulnerable...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Eeyack! Touma almost skidded to a halt. Was that the same guy? Were there more of them?] Um... hello? [Part of him wasn't even sure if he was seeing an actual person or if this was some sort of trick like with the Black Inferno Armor.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh... [That kind of hurt. He winced at the noise from his communicator. His body tense and ready to run, he watched back for a moment.] You uh... need something...? [His voice was timid, hesitant. He hadn't really been afraid like this before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The Operator stares from his place beside a tall tree, his lanky figure unmoving and silent, before he suddenly disappears... only to reappear in front of Touma this time. He's still keeping his distance... but he's drawn much closer than before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not so fast. The figure stands still for a long while, watching the other run as fast as he can into the darkness, but when the other just might think that he's safe, The Operator rushes in the shadows to appear right in front of him, closer--possibly two feet away.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The Slenderman doesn't respond to that and instead stays perfectly still yet again, but soon from behind him at his back there's the slightest bit of movement. Then, it happens. Several arm-like appendages stretch out from his back, wriggling and writhing like tentacles, and once they reach out far enough--much longer than even himself--he raises his arms and sends the appendages flying towards Touma.]

	[Touma panicked. He hadn't expected that, and he cringed, clenching his arms at his sides and crouching slightly in preparation for the entanglement. But, the lingering powers of his armor had other ideas, and a transparent dark blue bubble of energy shimmered into existence around him, blocking the tentacles from their prey.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
