Falcor hums quietly as he worked, reading through his books. Legends of this man who had died and came back vengeful. He liked to learn about humans mysteries, of course. He didn't have much hope for finding anything substantial, since he'd looked into the Legend Of Bloody Mary before and found nothing except information on Mary Tudor, who earned her moniker 'Bloody Mary' for her relentless pursuit on protestants in the medieval era. This story seemed almost the same, only you chanted the name five times instead of three.
"So cry out so you can see, five times, to hail a legacy." he hums. "He's the Candyman." But was it real? Most of what he could find was a racially motivated crime in the 1800s of a man who was attacked, and died as a result. Daniel Robitaille. But there wasn't much else. So he turned to the locals, to ask about him.
Supposedly, after he died, right where Cabrini-green stands now, he came back a vengeful spirit and kills anyone who looks in a mirror and says 'candyman' five times. Falcor was hesitant to try this, as after he tried the Bloody Mary one, nothing happened. But he was nothing if not persistent.
He gathers his items, placing them in his bag before heading out to his apartment. He sets his stuff down and walks into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him and turned the light off. Finally, he looks into his dimly lit reflection. "Alright, let's see if you're real." He says, and takes a deep breath.
"Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman." It was quiet as he finished. Way too quiet. He couldn't even hear the electrical humming from the outlet anymore. He examines his reflection. Something was definitely different. But after a few minutes of silence, and seeing nothing, he turns, to turn the light back on and leave the bathroom. As he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of curved metal in the mirror. His gaze snapped back to look at the mirror. Gone.. maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him. He clicks the light back on, and exits the bathroom, to go unpack his bag.
