Did I say seven?

Oh, I must have misspoke, I meant five.  Seriously though, because this isn't really supposed to be a blog about me I'm going to go ahead and work a little moral into this story:  When announcing plans online for dealing with someone in an aggressive nature, always lie about your schedule and/or specific plans.  If you take them early they will be caught off guard before they're ready, and if you take action later than you said you would, then they will either be burned out from anticipation or believe you to have forgotten your plans.  This is true for both the Hunted and Proxies, by the way, just so that's clear.  Anyways, I'm sure you lot want the story so I'll go ahead and share it now.

It is astonishingly easy to find out all you need to know about someone when you know their name and location, which is why I've never been running around sharing mine (though the notably observant should have narrowed down my location to four or five states by now).  Anyways, I was able to find Phillip's (that's the proxy's name for those of you wondering) room quite easily, and conveniently enough he didn't have a roommate.  It was easy to ambush him after his last class, a rope around his neck cut off his oxygen supply, and when I had parked close enough to his dorm that getting him to my car without anyone noticing was simply a matter of timing.

You know the economy really has taken it's toll.  It's almost a shame there are all these neighborhood filled with empty houses.  After driving to the place I had set up for our talk I dropped off Phillip and made sure he wouldn't be leaving or alerting anyone in the area of his presence anytime soon and returned to school for a couple of hours, just to make sure there wasn't anything I missed.  Around 3:00 in the afternoon I returned to the house to find my proxy friend awake and confused.  The following conversation is not verbatim, but it is close enough to get the general idea across.

Me:  (while removing a gag) So you're awake, good, we can have our conversation now.

Phillip:  (glaring) What do you want?

Me:  I want to know why you're here.

Phillip:  (struggling against the ropes) I'm here because you kidnapped me you physcho! (remember this isn't verbatim, some of it has also been strategiclly edited to be more family freindly.  In case you haven't noticed I'm not a very profane person.)

Me:  There's plenty of people out there that would call you a physcho just as quickly.  ( I retreived his mask from my backpack (yes he had a mask, it was in his room, not even well hidden))  I know what you are, I knew from the second I saw you, now why don't why try again? ( I flipped open my knife) Why are you here?

Phillip:  (He showed surperise at first, followed by a breif flash of fear before he answered with an ovbiously false bravado) Oh so you're a runner  ( Somehow it was both refreshing and annoying to be mistaken for a runner) you'll never get away with this "Father" (yes, he's one of those proxies) will protect me (he sneered).

Me:  (rolling my eyes) Oh well, good for him.  (I moved behind him so he couldn't see me)  Do you know who I am, Phillip?  Have you heard of (I said me real name here, I will of course not repeat it to the masses).  Or perheaps "FreedomCaged"

Phillip:  (he shook his head) No why should I?

Me:  You shouldn't, and it's fortunate for you that you don't.  (I leaned forward and put my knife against his neck) But I still need a reason to let you live, I've come this far, and to let you leave here would be a waste.

Unfortunately for dramatic timing this is when the Slender Man himself decided to make an entrance.  I mean sure it was a good place for him to enter, but if I had been in charge of his timing he would have appeared a few lines later at a much more dramatic moment.  Still, I suppose it was good enough placement to present adaquate theatrics.  After I was informed it would be in my best intrest to let Phillip go I gladly cut him loose and sent him on his way.  Admitadly he didn't have a car, and I may have been less than skillful when removing his binding, but I have no doubt he made it to a public road long before there was any risk of death by blood loss.  After that the big guy and I had a little talk about boundries, by the end we of course hugged and made up, or at the very least neither of us treid to fattaly wound the other, so I'm calling it a sucess.

Long story short: it turns out the proxy was simply a spook, asigned to someone else in that class (I'm not sure who, yet, I haven't noticed any Hunted, but it gets easier to tell the longer they're exposed to Slender shenagians, so I'll figure it out.).  So that's the story, I bet is was just riviting.  I'd add a soundtrack, but my next class begins rather shortly, so I'll just say so long for now.  The next post will be about someting other than myself, so rejoice in that.

See you around

  2. Just another Disciple, though your being mistaken for a Runner is just adorable. Free, are you getting soft in your 'old age?' Have you survived long enough for them to be forgetting the old myths about people like us, or is it just the new kids that don't bother to care?

    1. I know, they used to sing epic tales of my adventures and trials day and night. Every proxy feared my name, every runner knew my face. Gilgamesh and Odysseus had nothing on me. But this new one didn't even recognize my name, it is a tragedy of the greatest perportions.

      In all honesty I'm quite sure word of me never got around with the few I ever interacted with before the majority of my story as one of the Hunted is rather boring and generic for the most part. I'm reasonably sure that none of the intresting bits every got out enough to give me any kind of image.

      Also I don't belive I formally welcomed you to the blog last time, Amy, please forgive the oversight, it's just been a while since the last wave of newcomerers came through. So welcome, I hope you enjoy it.

    2. Epic of FreedomCaged?

    3. Just don't wind up like poor Prometheus, trying to 'help.' You're worth more than letting those ol' nasty birdies peck you each day.

      Delete
    4. I'll let you know when I get a publisher, then, Aura.

      When it was all said and done Prometheus got his liver back and the end of each day. Besides, haveing a name synomous with wisdom, forethought, and heroism might almost be worth it.

      Almost.

    5. Heh. Then I may have just found my new nickname for you. Hope you don't mind. Switching between Free and Caged was giving me a headache.

    6. Hmm... I could defiently live with being called Prometheus, but now you're just stroking my ego. I'm always amused when people alternate between the two, it gives me an insight into how they percive me at that moment, and that can be very helpful.

    7. Actually... I'll let you in on a little secret, love. I always call you by the name you most recently speak to me with. Like right now, you're going by Cage. So, I'll refer to you as Cage.

      You aren't getting that much of an insight, I regret to inform you.

    8. Admitadly that's what most people do most of the time, but that's what makes the exceptions even more telling. I can never be aware of all of the little details, but I remember the ones I put in place.

  3. Somehow.. I don't think this is the full story. Though, I do like how you handled this particular situation.

    It may or may not be a good idea to figure out the Stalked in your class, hun.

    1. It may or may not be inevitable to find the Stalked in my class. I'm rather good at spotting people who are infected, and it becomes easier they longer they are exposed. I'd give it a couple of months tops, assuming I never come in close contact with him.

    2. I'd find it entertaining if it were a friend. Or hell, the teacher. Wouldn't that be wonderful, seeing the teacher stagger around and write operator symbols on the textbooks?

  4. nO ONE DYING IS GENERALLY A PLUS.... hello caps lock, when did you turn on? I'm just going to leave it like that now because it was funny and I can use all the laughs I can get right now.

    Will be interested to see what happens when you find your local runner though... In the meantime, can't wait for your next update I guess. I'm sure it will be more informative than mine have been lately...

    1. Care to share why yours haven't been enlightening?

    2. The way this showed up in my email made me raise my eyes for a moment. I almost wish you hadn't noticed and made the whole comment in caps, and then a few others. Just to see how many people you could freask out on accident. But yeah, mine probably won't be insanely helpful, it's not something focused explictly on the community. Actually it may take a while, I'm still getting in the swing of things at school and such.

    4. Be sure to use lots of commas and "ums."

      I think we finnally figured out why he typed like that: he simply couldn't find the caps lock key.

    2. ...Because it's more fun when you find out on your own? Admittedly if he'd just told you, I doubt this would have been nearly as dramatic/impressive.
      It is quite sad how few of you proxies even do any research into your targets. I'd think the broken nose should serve as a reminder to do that next time. :3

    3. Oh hello Giles, welcome to my little spot in cyber space. I agree with most of that, however, I wasn't his target, if I was then a broken nose would be the least of his worries. But he still should have done some more reesearch ahead of time, might have saved us both some trouble.

      Oh Phillip, you found my blog, I'm so excited. You know, now that I'm not planning to slit your throat we should start a study group or something, let me know, o.k., I'll see you tomorrow.

    3. Thanks Om. I hope so too. I'm holding on to the thought that if Ritter wants me to do my job, it will have to end soon. Especially since at this rate, I'm going to need time to recuperate once Saint is finished with me.

      Brightsky- Ha! You're adorable when you're blood-lusting

  7. FreedomCaged.

    I want the name of that Eden Facility's business. That cover one. The law firm.

    I see it's in new york. I want its name. It means I'm close by to it.

    1. Hello Adam, I noticed you could see my blog now, welcome. I don't know how you've viewed me up to this point, but I don't doubt that my next words will make you beleive me a monster, and you probably won't be wrong.

      I'm not going to tell you the law firm's name. My policy has always been, and will always be, "never reveal information given in confidince." It may seem foolish, pointless, or creul to stick to this creed after considering all the Overseer has recently revealed. Certinally there's many people who would have revealed all they knew they second the truth came out, either to help or to save face. But when my reputation stands at a crossroads, I'd much rather be known as the man who can keep his mouth shut than a "good person." As I told Aura, excuse me, Anna: I'm a gentleman and a monster.

      If it's any consolation, there's security on every floor, I doubt you'd make it past the lobby. Tell you what, e-mail me, I'll even help you with your plans to whatever extent my code will allow, but I'm not giving you that name. If you want to find that building so badly, than perheapes you should consider exploiting other resources.

    2. I understand. God it infuriates me though, but I can understand sticking to codes.

      I'll just have to find some other way. Maybe see if i can find the identity of this Grey Serenity.

      Just one question. That's all I ask....did she look okay? healthy and uninjured?

      Delete
    3. Thank you for understanding my position.

      I will answer your question, though, but please keep in mind that this was before the Overseer revealed his whole hand, I'm not sure what would have changed since then, but I never got the impression he wanted to hurt Anna.

      When I saw her she was healthy and happy, perheapes a bit stir-crazy from having such a finite world, but comfortable otherwise.

    4. Free, I'll be in New York in a couple of days. Is there anything I can do for you, or your friend Adam while I'm there? Let me know when you can.

  8. Wow. I really DID miss a lot.

    Glad you're okay, Free. Excuse me while I try to catch up a bit. There's probably much to read...
