@the-stranger-offical
Hello
you can call me anything
you can use any pronouns for me
I am The Stranger, The Uncanny Valley. Some call me the I-Do-Not-Know-You
I send my agents to go out, to replace you, to make your friends think they are going insane.
I am The Stranger.
@the-spiral-official This is you!
It seems there is potential for some competition over you! While it is more Eye's thing to say, I will be eagerly watching to see who wins!
- @the-vast-offical
... And you are?
*Oh Janus knows who you are. He doesn't even need to be in your domain to be afraid of you. He forces his composure to act nonchalant.*
And what do you mean "competition." I mean, I know I'm a hot commodity, but I'm taken.
I think you know exactly who I am! You've visited my domain before!
And by competition, I don't mean a romantic one, silly! Your partner has already been claimed anyhow! No, no, it's simply to see who you'll align yourself with out of my friends!! The Spiral might very well take a liking to you, but I quite trust that The Stranger will win you over instead. One of my 'anons' seems to disagree, so it seems we'll just have to wait and see!
You're not a face I recognize, no.
Am I allowed to say no to all of them? Because I'm going to. This.. Stranger everyone keeps talking about is already tormenting a friend of mine. They've also threatened to "replace me," and frankly, thats not my whole ordeal, I've never disguised as anyone in my life. I don't like it.
And I've already met this Spiral thing. I know exactly why any of you would want 1/8th of the downward-spiraling mind of a random floridian.
Oh, we don't want 1/8th! We want more! We already have a quarter!!
Stranger isn't so bad once you- well, I suppose "get to know them" isn't quite the right choice of words here, is it?
But at the very least let them make their cases! @the-stranger-offical, @the-spiral-official, would you like to try your hands at convincing my friend here of the wonders of avatarship?
Yesss, of courssse! @twofacedsssssnake would you like to become my avatar?
I am the fear of the Unknown, and therefore, I know all about it. everything Familiar is Unfamiliar and everything Unfamiliar is Familiar! I am the fear of Being Replaced and therefore, there is no limit to my disguises. You would never again be found out when disguised. I am the fear of the Uncanny, and you will be able to unnerve everyone you come across. I am the fear of Clowns, and you can bring my Circus wherever you'd like!
I promise to not take your skin! I never take the skin of my avatars, nor do I replace them. They are mine, of course. I chose them! I can choose you too!
No, no! Absolutely not.
*Janus... snaps. for better or for worse. He's quite frankly exhausted with all this fear business.*
Deepest apologies, and with all due respect. I do see how the fear of clowns and being replaced plays into... me, Deceit. Do you think I disguise to instill fear in the 5-ish people I can reasonably pretend to be? You think I do this because I hate it? Do you seriously think I need more? That I never once want to be seen through? Do you think I want to un-nerve?
It's a tool to get me a seat at the table and nothing more. I'm honored you think my tool is all I am.
As for you, @the-spiral-official... I do know what you are, I did know you existed before this conversation. But I've been actively trying to save this Floridian Mind from spiraling further. Or at least control the spiral if I can't stop it, to steer this crashing plane if it must crash at all. I'm so good with metaphors, what am I saying.
@the-vast-offical @the-stranger-offical
Well of course I don't think you are only Deceit! None of my avatars are solely working for me! Except Nikola, but she was built to become my avatar! She wasn't anything before I breathed life into her.
Many avatars don't enjoy harvesting fear! Or they only do it on the willing ones! Sometimes, the power isn't even directly caused by fear! Like Jared Hopworth! He doesn't do anything typically flesh-like, but he is still a very good avatar altering people's bone structure for them.
If you were my avatar, you would have the full extent of my power at your grasp. You could do what you like with them. You using them feeds me. Simple! I thought you might like it because you already disguise, and even if it's not a favorite thing to do, it would mesh better with you than say, the Buried or the Hunt.
As for my friend the Spiral, you don't have to worry! The Spiral is all about the fear of going insane, and madness, and such. Primarily they tease with yellow doors, but there's also clay, and all sorts of things!

The Stranger
oH RIGHT This was before LotR pioneered cgi for massed crowd behavior
There was so much cool cgi in those movies I just assumed all the clones were too but back then I guess they still couldn’t really be
this is so sexy
I wonder what happened to all the agent smith masks
I can actually answer this! So the latex/rubber they used, while standard for Hollywood at the time, reacted REALLY BADLY to being doused in pouring water nonstop for an entire day of shooting. They ended up corroding, which caused them to stink really badly and glob together at the seams. The original plan was to hand out masks to various crew members on the final day of shooting as souvenirs, but the sopping wet, melting, rotting rubber got so gross that by the end of that shooting day they’d already thrown most of them out. Somewhere in a landfill are hundreds of disgusting, bloated, slimey Hugo weaving heads fused together into a nightmarish rotting amalgam :)
@entities-of-posts the flesh?
The Stranger
Zombie horror where anything vaguely resembling a human gets infected too. Survivor finds a mannequin with bite marks. Moments later, it begins to breathe.
There’s a genuine fear of anything related to humans too. Most toys (especially dolls) are banned at safe havens. Images of people are torn up before the paper starts groaning. Movie posters, magazines, and comics are soaked with blood. “If it’s got a face, it’s got to go”
Most people don’t have a reflection anymore.
You’re still sleeping on the real killer though:
Shadows

The Stranger
If real life was like The Sims
OH THATS WHAT IT WAS
I think all of us thought we were reading the most fucked up post on tumblr and halfway through realized what it was
@entities-of-posts does this sorta feel dull adjacent to you
The Stranger

at all points I was ready for him to start eating the stands
This was disturbingly normal for him
@entities-of-posts your expert opinion?
The Stranger/Dull overlap
Hey fellow Americans how do we feel about this one? Idk it just feels illegal
NO.
NO.
As an American that is both he best and worst thing I've ever witnessed I want to force myself to devour it and then immediately regret being born
@entities-of-posts the stranger?
Seconded
Ah, Stranger! I must confess I was not expecting to find you here! How goes the weather?
- @the-vast-offical
bad. you stole my darling.
I what?
You have a 'darling'? I don't recall ever stealing someone from you, who are you talking about?
I think I sensed gaining someone with your mark, possibly, but that was weeks ago at least, and I didn't do anything in that regard!
My darling Remy of course! Who else has ever been my dear?
Sleep? I didn't know you two were together, congrats! Oh my stars, I don't think I've talked to him anywhere past small talk in quite some time!
I certainly didn't mean to 'steal' him from you, I think you'd be a cute couple! They do dreams, too, right? That's like an uncanny reality, your biggest overlap!
I ship it!! And you can trust me to know what a good ship looks like!
Why thank you! My dear has informed me that a pesky anon turned him into an avatar, he didn't pick it willingly.
We were a cute couple for a while! They ghosted me, and we just got back together.
Quick Warning: His purple friend is a dark avatar and is quite annoying! Wanting to stop my Unknowing and all that.
Oh, I believe I've heard of 'anons'! They can be quite the annoying little bugs, can't they? Mine so far are simply asking if they could join me, or if I've ever done cocaine.
When you say Sleep's purple friend... are you referring to Virgilius Marius? He got thrown into my domain some time ago, it was quite nourishing! I can always bring him back there! Though, I did think he seemed more Eye-aligned, yes?
My anons haven't been pesky either, but Remy says they are, so I trust them!
I'm referring to Virgil! Yes! He was once Paranoia and even now is Anxiety! Much more Eye-Aligned, but an anon turned him into a Dark Avatar. He's more powerful now and could actually pack a punch!
Well, that simply won't fly! They should at least let you attempt your ritual, yes?
Though, I have been able to recruit one of Virgil's friends to my servitude, the little blue one they call Logan. Perhaps I could convince him to... distract Virgil and buy you some time.
How on earth did you recruit him? I was working on chipping him away and explaining the virtues of the Circus of the Other but he was not having it!
No matter! It's in the past! I would appreciate you having Logan distract him! Thank you for the offer!
How on earth? It'd be more appropriate to ask "how off earth" I did it!
All you have to do is play on what they like and want! I found that Logan loves space, so he was very quickly swayed by my offer of letting him see the night sky without clouds or light pollution! After all that sky and sea, he's become my first space-focused Avatar! I believe the idea of being the first, of uncharted territory, also sealed the deal!
I must hand this to you, you did well! I was appealing to his logic, but with some people they just aren't aligned properly to be avatars of certain fears!
Perhaps I'll be able to convince the snake to join me! He seems like he might be closer aligned with me!
Thank you!! That's the disguising one, yes? Maybe you could offer him new ones!
And snakes do shed their skin, perhaps you can collect from him for The Unknowing!
Yes. I think that will work nicely!
How goes your ritual? My Unknowing is almost ready, but I haven't heard of your ritual since Simon failed in the 1800s with his submarine thingy!
No offense, of course! I've had quite a few failures myself!
Well, I haven't quite felt like I needed one! You all try to use your rituals to make the world into something of yours, but the universe we live in is so vast already, and the sky is always there when you simply look up! Though I wouldn't put myself past what humans refer to as "FOMO", so who knows, I might come up with one anyway!
True, True. The universe is quite big! There is so much going on, and the scientists believe the universe is constantly expanding. I bet if you needed a ritual, you could do one just with the sheer size of the universe! the concept that no human could ever explore it all!
Ah, Stranger! I must confess I was not expecting to find you here! How goes the weather?

It looks like he's trolling, but I texted him because he called first and was so piss drunk he had no idea what I was saying. Godspeed dude I hope you find Jordan
I must point out, I am an American living in Australia
I gave him another call and said listen to me. Do I really sound like Jordan. And he says yes. Yes you are absolutely Jordan. And I'm like okay. I am still not Jordan. Would Jordan pull a prank like this? I do not know Jordan. I'm sorry man. You should call max
Okay this time his dad was on the phone and was like Jordan man come on and I'm like no. Seriously. I am not Jordan. I cannot reiterate enough how not Jordan I am. And I say again, I'm American. You can hear that I am American. Is Jordan American? To my surprise, yes, Jordan is American. I'm like oh. Okay maybe I do sound like Jordan. I'm still not Jordan. Would Jordan pull a prank like this? And he says yeah absolutely. And I'm like. Oh. Okay. Well. Jordan kinda sticks to the bit huh. I'm still not Jordan. And he says are you a girl or a guy? Cuz Jordan is a girl. And I say sure, I'm a guy. And he says ah, shit. Sorry we were looking for someone else. Have a good one.
I was starting to think I might actually be Jordan for a minute there
