[Filter from the Slenderman and those who would use this information for nefarious purposes.]A group of us are preparing to try to exorcise the Slenderman and banish him once and for all as soon as the children have been rescued. I would suggest you stay clear of the tree area unless you are going to participate in this. Please contact me asap if

Then clap three times and say "I don't believe in evil child snatchers!"

[...he had to be sarcastic, but.]

I do know that we'll get rid of the git, though. I'm helping the rescue effort. Figured they could use some muscle.

[demonologist]

I'm sure I'll be getting plenty of skeptics. However, there are people who don't believe in vampires and yet, here we are.

Just think of it as giving a rallying cry. If nothing else, it will boost our morale while we confront this thing.

Helping with the rescue effort sounds like a capital idea, Spike. You'd be perfect for that kind of operation. Good luck with it.

[breakmychest]

I'm not a skeptic. I've done plenty through pure will and mind power.

[Mostly just throwing off the First and touching stuff when he was a ghost.]

Course, I wouldn't have put it in such a poncy way.

Well, you know, if everyone starts banging pots and pans and thinking I can do it, I won't need luck.

[demonologist]

[He can't help how he sounds, Spike. So, so very dryly:]

I'll endeavour to throw in some more expletives next time.

This filter. Alas, Ares doesn't care enough to use this information for nefarious purposes. >3

[ares]

Really? That's your big solution? To be hopeful and bang on something real loud?

[Sorry, he can't help but kind of laugh at this because, let's face it, it's pretty hilarious]

Good luck with that.

[demonologist]

We have rescue efforts and an exorcism/confrontation planned.

Really, you're going to argue with me about the efficacy of hope and the individual will to achieve goals when we're stranded in Paradisa? Where people's wishes can make actually things manifest?

[ares]

Yeah, I am.

We both know that if it were that simple, this thing would have been wished away a long time ago.

But like I said, good luck. Who knows, maybe you'll even prove me wrong.

[demonologist]

No offense, but I hope I do.

[Whoever you are...]

...i am so, so sorry for her

[truthin_bones]

This is utterly ridiculous. We should be developing concrete methods of offense, not suggest prayer and chant as an actual, effective tactic. Thoughts and belief have little power exerted beyond the individual.

Oh, Brennan))

[demonologist]

If other people are working on concrete methods of offense - which they are, by the way - how would it hurt to also focus one's mind on achieving one's goals?

And yet when individuals unite together with a clarity of purpose and determination, what do we have? An army.

We're going to attack the entity and the tree it uses as a dwelling. By any means necessary. Not just the physical.

If you find this so hard to condone, think of it as an exercise in morale. It's a useful tactic in any battle.

[truthin_bones]

The uniting of minds in pursuit of achieving a substantial and concrete goal is one thing. No where within the actuality of group prayer is this achieved.

Give the army something productive to do. Have them continue to monitor the halls or prepare first aid stations for the missing children in case any of them were harmed. Standing and chanting is not productive.

[demonologist]

Preparing a first aid station for the recovered missing children is an excellent, productive idea. Why don't you go spearhead the organisation of that?

Are you saying you can't multi-task?

[hard_talker]

Make noise, huh? Now that's something I can do.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Make that two of us.

[hard_talker]

[he'll reach over and grab her hand] 'Bout time we got a chance to give this fucker hell.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[smiles at him]

Abso-fucking-lutely.

[invisphilospher]

If it helps at all, I can see the bastard. I could head down there and let you know if he comes up for air.

[ectobabble]

That's a great idea, Darien. Having some advance warning is always a good thing. I know the hole they found is a ways away from the tree, so if he has to come up through that, maybe you could wait at a halfway point?

[invisphilospher]

You got it. I'll head down there, now.

[ectobabble]

Arright, we'll see you there. Or ... uh, not, as the case may be.
