To my writer, Miss Mundane,

I preferred being left alone in your mind, Miss. I cordially request your sincere reconsideration of this situation before it escalates. You have not written out the bulk of your head canon for me, and you would likely not be able to find a place that would take an OC for a web original series. While I am honestly a touch flattered by your interest in me, the fact of the matter is it is a far easier task to take up a canon character from a recent movie. That all but ensures success, Miss. I don't wish to disappoint you, but we must be realistic.

Besides, if there is one thing that I know, it is that I cannot escape the reach of the Slender Man. He will never catch me, possibly because it amuses him not to. But the idea of a game or world where there is no fear or pain isn't possible for me. I have grown to accept it. If anything, life is routine as it's set now, dark as the routine is. There is no part of me that would hold it against you if you used another muse for your plans.

Kind regards,

Peter H. Quinlan

Amelia Clark. [She smiles once, briefly, more of a lip quirk than anything else.] Just call me Amelia.

If the Sle- [A pause. A deep breath.] If It caused your injuries, then I'm guessing you were a Proxy. Somebody It sank Its claws o-or whatever into. But you're a lot more coherent than most of them, so...

[So yeah. Awkward as hell up in here.]

...How long have you been running?

[heartofsnow]

A pleasure to meet you, Amelia.

It has. But I have had a better go of this than some. Why is anyone's guess at this juncture; I've been studying It but my research has only given me inconsistant information at best.

Three years come September, to answer your question. Would it be rude to ask if you are running as well?

[tengaku]

I was, once. [She frowns.] But I... I'm pretty sure I'm dead. I mean. Not me, but the me outside of my mun's headspace. I don't know what happened. It's all sort of nebulous.

And did you learn anything? Someone I knew tried to study it. Lots of people did. And none of them got any closer to finding a way to kill it. I couldn't even figure out a way to stymie it other than "run for your life".

[heartofsnow]

Dead?

I have learned a lack of emotion and reaction lessens Its' ability to harm someone. That is all I have gathered so far.

[tengaku]

Yeah. I think it happened on the Solstice a couple years back. I went into the woods with a friend. It was supposed to be a way to kill It. But then it just... goes fuzzy after that.

That's not a lot to go on, Peter. And you can't shut down everything. I mean, feelings are just a part of being human, you know?

[heartofsnow]

I apologize. I didn't realize we could be here after death. For what it's worth, I'm sure you were quite brave.

I can. I have to. It's my only defense; and without it I would fall to fear. This is all I have to go on, and yes, it is not natural; but if it lets me have enough time to discover how to kill this thing, then that's the price I'll pay. Other people's lives are more important than my feelings.
