Anyway, my obsession with Night Hunter is getting ✨ worse ✨ and my best friend is a terrible influence on me, so here's some headcanons about my favorite creep because he's taken up so much real estate in my head
This is not gonna be organized at all
Erm CW? Bro this is Outlast, this is gonna be so weird. Knifeplay feat. a machete, stalking, pred-prey play, slight dom/sub & size diff stuff? Let me dream okay?
If Night Hunter likes you, like actually likes you, oh boy
It's bad
First of all, he doesn't care if you call him by his nickname or by his actual name, Jack, he just loves to hear your voice
Oh yeah his name is Jack, shoutout mercie on YouTube who found a sound file where he gets frustrated with himself and says "Get with the fucking program, Jack!"
Devs confirmed it as well
This motherfucker loooooooves watching you
ANYWAYS if you're in a trial and Night Hunter is oddly absent, NO HE ISN'T
He sees everything. Every. Last. Thing.
If he's not attacking you, you can bet he's watching your every move
He's stalking you, keeping you away from other Ex-Pops or PAs, not because he doesn't want to see you hurt, but because he wants to be the only one who lays hands on you
Obsessive yandere type shit
He gets all giddy when he sees you in a trial and can't help but call out to you from the dark
"Ahh, there's my little glowworm. Missed you something fierce, sweetheart <3" but he stays in the shadows because he can't help but be a MASSIVE TEASE
This man has a CRAZY pred-prey play thing going on, and you're his prey
He loves keeping you on edge, keeping you just a little bit scared. He thinks it's cute
When he finally does pounce, OOOOOOOOOO
He wants to get real fucking close
Like he's whispering shit in your ear cuz he knows his voice sounds all tingly thanks to his headgear and he loves to watch you squirm in response
"Did you really think I'd let you leave that easily, darling?"
Gives you little bitemarks on your neck or shoulders before letting you go. He's almost like a cat, playing with you and letting you go just to chase you down again
"Better find a good hiding spot because when I find you... Ooooh, when I find you~"
Knifeplay but machete >:3 if he really wanted to, he'd slash at you while chasing you enough times to spell his name in your skin
Don't worry, he doesn't cut too deep. He wants to keep his canvas nice and clean for next time <3
He has learned a lot about you during trials from following you around and watching you, so be very careful with what you say
Oh, you said you were hungry and wished you had something to get you through a trial? Good thing he just so "happened" to be carrying a bag of your favorite chips
He places it right by the entrance to whatever dark room or corridor he's waiting for you in. How sweet!
You're complaining about another reagent stealing something of yours? Night Hunter will get that back for you so fucking fast, potential casualties to follow
Listen I know he walks like a gremlin but I know in my heart that if that man stood up straight, he'd be so tall
He thinks you're so fucking small and adorable and he can't help but want to squeeze the life out of you
He just wants to throw you around, hold you down, breathe in your scent, feel you tremble, and then pet your hair and tell you what a good job you did, being such a good little worm for him
Gets a little heavy-hearted when he sees you leave, but he knows he'll see you again
