6 | [[HeroWithAUniqueName Story Parker]] is kind of new to the Website/YouTube beauty guru scene, but her passion for cool and quirkily-painted nails leads her to create a manicure channel nonetheless. Her first view videos go over quite well, until she starts receiving gory trinkets in the mail, losing periods of time, and repeatedly seeing [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos a tall, thin someone out of the corner of her eye]].... |

8 | As she records and investigates the increasingly unsettling occurrences that seem to be following her, Story finds herself embroiled in [[TheConspiracy the elaborate workings of]] [[FrontOrganization a pharmaceutical company called]] [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming Ajax]], whose pill "Vivirten" is ''supposed'' to prevent patients from seeing the Slender Man, [[GoneHorriblyWrong but which sometimes has]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the entirely opposite effect]]. |

10 | ''Keratin Garden'' was another addition to the Slenderverse, and notable for being [[ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet one of the few 'Verse contributions to feature a primarily-female cast]]. Unfortunately, after an extended hiatus (beginning in 2015), the series was officially ended by its creator. |
11 | ---- |
12 | !! This show provides examples of: |
13 | |
14 | * ArcWords: References to Literature/TheIliad appear ''everywhere'', from its ISBN number being used as part of a code to a note on Story's refrigerator to "[[{{Foreshadowing}} call Ajax Pharmaceuticals]]". |
15 | ** The security guards at Ajax make reference to [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming someone]] [[MeaningfulName named]] [[TheCassandra Cassandra]], and the founder's son [[spoiler:(who seems to have been one of Slender's victims way back in ''1902'')]] was named Hector. |
16 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: In ''No. 22: Sleepwalking'' [[spoiler:the Black Dog claws Story's face pretty badly]], but aside from wearing a pair of band-aids in the next episode, the wounds are never mentioned or even visible again. |
17 | * {{Crossover}}: With WebVideo/WhisperedFaith in episodes 27 through 30. |
18 | * DeadpanSnarker: Story has her moments, especially in the comments. |
19 | --> "'''[=Viva9626=]'''": [[FridgeLogic Why did you film in the shower???]] |
20 | --> '''Story''': did it for the vine |
21 | * DistaffCounterpart: Could be viewed as this to WebVideo/MarbleHornets, but has a unique enough concept to stand on its own. |
22 | * DontAskJustRun: [[WebVideo/WhisperedFaith Lee]] to Story in episode 27, right before [[spoiler:she's attacked by the Rake]]. |
23 | * FreezeFrameBonus: Slendy shows up very briefly in both the mirror in ''No. 8: Power Outage'' and in Lailah's backseat ([[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments with his head jammed sideways against the ceiling]]) in ''No. 10: Lailah''. |
24 | ** The Black Dog is back as of ''No. 42 - The Colorado River''. |
25 | * GoryDiscretionShot: When Story wakes up after her [[spoiler:first run in with Ajax]], her camera lens is covered in blood. She follows the trail to the source and the screen blacks out for a second while she retches at whatever it was. |
26 | * {{Hellhound}}: The Black Dog. |
27 | * HeroWithAUniqueName: [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who names their kid ''Story'']]? |
28 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Par for the course in the 'Verse. |
29 | * ItsAllMyFault: Story blames herself for [[spoiler:causing the death of the Ajax security guards]]. |

31 | * ItsQuietTooQuiet: Word-for-word in ''No. 30 - Exegesis''. |
32 | * MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Pretty much a requirement given the subject matter. |
33 | * {{Reincarnation}}: Towards the end of the series, Story discovers that she is the most recent incarnation of a woman who has been reborn throughout time -- and that all of her past selves ''also'' had trouble with the Slender Man. |
34 | * SanitySlippage: ''No. 15''. |
35 | * ShoutOut: |
36 | ** In ''No. 6: Sleepover'', Lailah wears a T-Shirt that reads "''[[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Grey Wind & Lady & Nymeria & Summer & Shaggydog & Ghost]]''." |
37 | *** Might also double as {{Foreshadowing}} to the Black Dog that starts appearing as of Episode 22 (''Smoke Alarms''). |
38 | ** Nikki has Film/HarryPotter cutouts all over her walls and listens to Music/MumfordAndSons. |
39 | * TeamPet: Darwin. |
