It says it's been thirteen days since my last post. I answered Michael. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't. I want to find out what's going on, spread the information around. I don't fucking want to draw the attention of these weird...things. I try to stay objective, even if I'm not very good at it. Trying to help Michael...that compromises my objectivity. And, apparently, gets my ribs cracked.
Despite taking so long, it's a pretty simple set of events. I got back in touch with Michael, took a little while to convince him to meet with me, talk about what he'd seen. Sure, email could give me the basics, but I wanted to see if he was affected by the same strange memory issues that I'd been observing. Eventually he gave me the address of a shitty motel, one that would apparently take cash and ask no questions.
Bad signs right away. Operator symbol was crudely scratched into the door of his room. Not the same style as whoever is doing it around campus, though. Most likely his own work...though when I asked, he didn't know he was doing it. No surprise, in retrospect. Memory loss is not uncommon in Slender Man encounters.
I'm pretty sure that's what he's dealing with. He says when Dr. Ellison walked into the office, there was another person in there. Tall man, in a suit. Said he grabbed the doctor, lifted him effortlessly, and sliced him apart. He wasn't clear on how the doctor was cut up, since Slendy's hands were busy holding on to him, but the results speak for themselves. Michael was frozen there, in terror, until Slendy dropped the pieces of the doctor, and touched the desk. That's when the fire started...
Something new to be afraid of finally got Michael's legs moving, and he sprinted out of the building. And, as some of the community seems to know far too well...running away works. At least for awhile. He even tried to call the police. Hell, maybe he succeeded, and the dispatcher is on the Panopticon's payroll. All I know for sure is that the only official to contact Michael called himself Agent Jeremy Bentham.
I'll post more later. Because, obviously, we haven't gotten to the bit with the violence and injury yet.
