[verylast]

[ The video starts with a rather startling close up of Slender Man. Simply because the Doctor is a kind, kind soul and that's totally what you want to see when you tune in to the network. Of course, maybe his whole scary-wrong feel is kind of dented by the hilariously floppy sun hat on his head - big, bright yellow flower attached to the brim.

The Doctor takes a step back, swinging the device around to his grinning face. He is personally wearing a rather fetching police constable's hat, pen caught between his teeth. He takes it out of his mouth, hums, moves like he's rocking back on his heels. ]

This is a nice curse, isn't it? It's kind of the City to provide us with a pair of helping hands. And he likes it - [ Spinning the camera back around. ] Don't you Mr. Slendy?

[ Of course, he doesn't say anything. Just stares at the device. In his sun hat. ]

[There's one very petulant 12 year old staring into the screen. Behind her? She has her own Slendy who is holding up a bowl of cereal.]

I said I already ate. What are you doing?

[To the doctor;] These dudes are unsettling.

[rianofski]

He's been 'helping' you, too?

[verylast]

He's probably just trying to make sure you've got enough fibre in your diet.

[ Pause, eyeing up his own helpful little stalker. ] I like them.

voice

[verylast]

Yes. Out of nowhere, my very own PA.

Re: video:

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Did yours try talking yet?

video:

[verylast]

No. He's mostly been silent. Why?

Re: voice

[rianofski]

Has he spoken to you at all?

Re: video:

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

The voices don't help how creepy these things are.

[And the Slender Man Mindy has is trying very hard to hand her the cereal.]

Alright! Alright! Shit, you're pushy.

[And Slendy is just...gone. Mindy blinks at where he was for a minute.] Huh...

voice

[verylast]

Nope. Silent. But not like the Silence because I'd be quite annoyed at that, I reckon.

Re: voice

[rianofski]

Yes, mine has been decidedly subdued as well.

[A pause.]

The Silence?

video:

[verylast]

See, he is trying to help your diet.

[ Peering at his own with a new found curiosity. ] I wonder why mine hasn't spoken.

voice

[verylast]

Maybe that's just their natural state. Friendly neighbourhood helpers. He doesn't want to do very much beyond follow me around and help out now and again.

[ Halting. ] Ah, nothing.

Re: voice

[rianofski]

He's attempting to assist me in sweeping the square.

[Another, longer pause, and then a sigh.]

Before you ask, no, I'm not doing that chore out of the goodness of my heart. If you haven't already done so, I advise you to think carefully before making deals with the deities around here.

Re: video:

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Try askin'.

[Peering into the cereal bowl with mild suspicion before sort of smiling.] Cocoa crispies with chocolate milk. I think he's trying to kill me with too much sugar.

[frekish]

You've called him Mr Slendy?

[doeswhathewants]

That is a ... very nice look for him.

[deadmanbusiness]

What is it? They're not zombies.

[He glances over his shoulder at slenderman behind him. It doesn't exactly unnerve him. It's like some sort of zombie... but not.

One of his zombie rats is sitting on its head and has its head right in front of its eyes. Which doesn't seem to do anything.]

video:

[verylast]

Well, from the City's rather troubling past lately, I'm sure too much sugar is actually a rather nice gesture.

voice

[verylast]

Oh. Square sweeping? But that's not bad, is it? I imagine with the help of our new friends you'll get it done in no time.

[ But what did you bargain for? ]

[verylast]

Well, he wasn't forthcoming with a name of his own so I guessed.

[verylast]

Don't you think so?

[ Grinning. ] We've gone through the lot of them. He didn't like the Russian hat though. Possibly it was just too fluffy.

video:

[verylast]

I haven't been able to figure that one out yet. But I certainly hope it's not a zombie.

[doeswhathewants]

How did you get him to hold still?

Do you think they are compatible with human-like things, so that they could be cross bred?

[verylast]

He just seems to like holding still. Does yours not?

[ Pause. ] I'm not sure that's wise.

Re: voice

[rianofski]

It could have been worse. I'd expected worse.
