Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.
you know, like... nya!
Oh, no, I am... foreign. I am from another place, but I am still human! I am gathering notes on the planet for research for... me!
I must assume this is an ability unique to you, if you are proud of it...
The They who said it
Hm. Overseas is weird. I will trust in you not being hostile, though not you being human. Fret not over that though, I have dealt with many non-humans at home and abroad... As for these slashers... I may have been too direct in my line of questioning. Ah well. They have mentioned soul-binding, so that indicates they are either TRUE adventurers, or that I might need to ask further questions on the matter.
...Um, Miss Kyoko, you asked about my nightmares, right? Well, it's hard to explain, but... there's this being, Nyarlathotep, and it has a lot of forms. I'm one of them, but I can control when I transform into it. It's only when I'm scared or when I want people to stay away from me...
silence for five minutes
Um... I'm really sorry. I should have controlled it, but I was so interested in this spell. I didn't want to tell you because I thought you would hate me. The new people here, too, but I don't really know them, and we did talk a little, so...
a sighing noise
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my Tumblr

Oh, do not be concerned! I actually find it quite interesting. I have never heard of such a creature, and I am excited to write about what I have seen today! I promise to you that I am not mad.

Freddy: Oh, wondering what we are? I'm a former human who made a pact with dream demons to becomes basically the god of the dream world, shaping the dreams of others for my kills! Jason here is a momma's boy zombie and Leatherface from a cannibal clan of hillbillies, with no prize for guessing what his mask is made from. Both of them I know are human. As for Myers, his mask is that of William Shatner and we don't know exactly what he is and he never bothered to tell us, so...

You five are certainly getting places in my notable people section! Freddy, Jason, Michael, Leatherface, Nyarlathotep...
The They who said it
Very helpful, my... slasher friends. I'll visit you late next harvestmonth. That's... a promise, assuming I do not get sidetracked by something marginally more interesting. And for the love of VELS, if it's more fucking CANDY that I get out of it, my journey into the next phase will complete far sooner than previously anticipated. So PLEASE try to have some... mildly interesting items lying around when I turn up, okay? Preferably one that can clean candy out of armor easily, but anything I don't have or that is valuable would be nice.
Oh, also, pact with demons? Like my current roommate did? She'd recommend making a pact with more demons and lichs and gods and angels and other such beings, but apparently in this world, it's much harder to find people willing to buy your soul.
Freddy: Nyarlathotep? I've heard of him in my travels once I learned about the Necronomicon. Can't wait to take the power of that book for myself one day!
The League of Heroes
I'm not sure what you mean... I wouldn't be surprised if Nyarlathotep existed across dimensions, though. It seems like it could, but sometimes I have trouble understanding it.
Anyway, it was really nice talking to all of you, even if some of you are a little strange. I'm getting tired, so I think I'll end the spell. Goodbye!
So, let's hang an anchor from the sun... also my Tumblr

Goodbye, then! I wish you safest travels.
Kuma appreciation gang
Killing people for no reason is stupid. I mean, if they piss you off, yeah, but just nonsensically murdering people is just... dumb. Like, I wanna really feel like these people deserved to die, not like they were just... there
Kumatora needs to be appreciated more. Appreciate her.
The They who said it
Goodnight to you. May the darkness claim you as its own, and all the traditional farewells and whatnot.
...Ah, new person! Greetings, though I may know you. You seem... familiar. Anyway, yes. Killing without reason is shortsighted and foolish. The reason, if there, may be flimsy. But there must be a reason.

Freddy: Yeah I've been doing my research on Nyarlathotep and others like him simply because it'll be fun to conjure manifestations of them in the dream world to use on my victims! Not the real deals of course, I can't control those! Anyways, Nyarlathotep is indeed part of the multiverse, as the hierarchy of the eldritch beings like himself spans dimensions. Speaking of dreams, apparently our reality and by extension the multiverse is nothing more than the dream of the high eldritch being, Azathoth. If Azathoth were to awaken, then our reality and everything in it would be no more! As for what Nyarlathotep is, he's the only one of the eldritch beings that's knowingly evil due to being the embodiment of the soul and will of said eldritch beings. He's a sadist like myself who enjoys tormenting humanity and playing with it instead of just going in for the kill, as such I'm sure I'd be best friends with him! The most well-known of these eldritch beings is Cthulhu, and while he's not the most powerful one by a long shot he's no slouch himself. In fact he's hibernating in his sunken city of R'lyeh somewhere on Earth, and if he were to awaken it might as well be the end of the world as you know it! The coordinates to Cthulhu's lair if you're wondering is either 47°9′S 123°43′W or 49°51′S 128°34′W in the south Pacific Ocean. Pretty much only mentioning the location just to hear what happens when one goes there!

Oh! Perhaps I can meet this Chtulhu for myself... Does he enjoy spinach?
Freddy: Not much information on what he eats, but I wouldn't be surprised if humans are on the menu! He's big enough that he could swallow groups whole like it's nothing!
The League of Heroes
I'm helping!
there's no stigma against adventuring in my world lmao
and the hotel... is a too small society to have opinions
Question: how many times do you have to flag a post for bragging about committing murder before the mods delete it?
lma o mods here are basically always asleep
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
you know, like... nya!
Mods? So nobody moderates these forums? So you can say anything you want here! That is exciting!
Freddy: Say anything you want here? So we can talk about our browser histories then? Heh, well as much as I'd like to talk about my own sick and lewd history, it's more fun to talk about it as I use it in the nightmares of others! The feds would normally be very interested in a search history like mine, but as I'm an undead, supernatural monstrosity they're aware that the laws of man are useless against me!

Well, this spell is working agai-

Um, hello, new person? What was your name? "Freddy" or something?

Jason, Freddy, Michael and Leatherface! Top to bottom and right to left.
Electro Archon
Wait... Are those THE Slashers?! All together?! This is seriously giving me flashbacks of my time in that accursed camp!
Freddy: Freddy Krueger lass! The other three that were with me are no longer here, they got bored of watching a computer screen and so are terrorizing the local neighborhood for fresh kills. So, knowing that you'r part of Nyarlathotep, what's your name and how nice are you as a person? And are you aware of the other abominations Nyarlathotep is associated with?
The League of Heroes

Cursory research shows these to be 'THE slashers,' yes! Although there are other 'THE slashers' that do not seem present.
Freddy: Yeah, I know of the other slashers like Ghostface, but they couldn't be with us as they're preoccupied at the moment. Chucky in particular is stuck in a situation at a place called Build-a-Bear Workshop from the last I've heard. And speaking of horror at establishments, I've became aware of a horror video game series as it beared my name, namely Five Nights at Freddy's. Naturally I'm a fan, gives me plenty of new material to scare folks with in the dream world!

Freddy: Does it count when all of them are my favorite? You could ask my victims about that as I've trapped their souls within me, but as they're not in the best condition for questioning maybe not!
