Aaaand once again my sleep schedule is fucked to all hell. That didn't take long.

Sorry for the long absence. We're alright for now. Got to Corey's safely, found out a bunch of stuff, and moved on. Neither of us thought it was safe to stay with him for too long, especially with all the information he just gave us. Michelle's been working on the official write-up, since it's her brother.

'Course, said write-up had to go on hiatus for a while, since we wound up driving all over every-fucking-where over the last 50-something hours. Non-stop. We even hopped a bus at one point, got on a train, then took another bus back to where we left my car just so we could get some sleep.

Michelle woke me up a little past midnight about 3 nights ago. She said we had to leave immediately. I didn't question her, I just got right up, packed what few things I had bothered to unpack that night, and followed her silently out the door. She got into the driver's seat of my car and we were off.

Now, according to Michelle, the late Morningstar, and several others, proxies can sort of instantly know when other proxies are around, or when their boss is nearby. From Michelle's description of the feeling, I'd liken it to the experience of remembering forwards instead of backwards, or a type of deja'vu (and yes, such a thing is entirely legitimate, but I won't bother explaining how it works except to say that there's a reason we call it re-member-ing). As I suspected when she first woke me up, Michelle had been experiencing that feeling again. She has taken advantage of this several times in our travels in order to keep us out of trouble, but this was a good deal stronger than anything from before. She couldn't even identify what it was we were running from, only that it was really fucking close behind us. It also apparently changed positions at random intervals, if Michelle's near-constant changing of directions is anything to go by.

All I could do was try to keep her somewhat relaxed and not let her crash us into a tree or something by accident. Eventually we figured out it had to be some kind of illusion, since the feeling never got any further away no matter how fast or slow Michelle drove. It was at that point that we hopped the aforementioned bus-train-bus, because even in knowing/maybe suspecting that, Michelle didn't want us to stop moving, and I was inclined to agree with her.

So now we're in this new place. Unnamed for security, naturally. Michelle has since calmed down, and we just got here, so we should be able to rest and recuperate for at least a couple days, which means we finally have time to sit down and write up everything we found out. I swear, it is really freaking bizarre how little down time you get when you're traveling. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

One bit of good news, at least: whatever it is we're doing seems to be working - nobody's found us. No proxies, no monsters, no nightmares (other than what could be considered normal), even that Anon asshole from a while back seems to have vanished. Haven't heard from him/her since... September, I think.

...Godfuck, September. I have been out of it for too damn long.


Expect some new information soon. If not, we're probably dead in a ditch somewhere.

........

...I fucking hate morbid humor.

  1. Well at least you're keeping hidden from them for now. That's something. Hope you keep staying safe you two.

  2. Safety is an illusion my dear. Our Dread Father can find you at any time, as can his servants thanks to that traitorous bitch you have for a pet. She is as a lighthouse in a dense fog for us, showing us exactly where you are, and how to strike at your very heart. Why he continues to allow you to live is beyond me. But hey, it is his call right?

    1. Your name, dude. Just... wow.

      I mean, I don't blame you for being a Kingdom Hearts fan; I am one myself. Just... show a little creativity, a'ight? Choosing a name that means "emptiness" is far too lame of a pun for you guys. Frankly I'm surprised it was allowed. I can't even take you seriously now.

    2. I bet he calls Slender Man, Xehanort in private. ^_^

    3. Maybe his mask is made out of a motorcycle helmet. That WOULD be at least somewhat creative, if I didn't associate the idea with KH!Vanitas now. XP

    4. What? Kingdom Hearts? That is the... Disney game right? You play as Mickey Mouse or something? Fuck it. If there is someone who shares my MAGNIFICENT name in there. Good for them. I had it first.
      MY POINT STILL STANDS.

    5. "Vanity", huh? At least, that's what I think Vanitas mean, if my latin isn't all that rusty.

    6. It's "emptiness"

      Buuuut I still can't look at his name without thinking of kingdom hearts :P the image is soooo amusing.

    7. Well, on the KH wiki says the word means "vanity" or "emptiness", so this is a case in which everybody is right.

  3. So, dead in a ditch somewhere. Good to know.

    1. Ah, no, not dead yet. Michelle posted 2 days ago with the Steven information, plus a few other... oddities. She covered it pretty completely, unless you expected my take on it or something?
