Uh guys? I'm pretty sure that this whole 'Twig Man' thing? Is Slenderman. Like the creepypasta meme that definitely became a thing a few years ago for me and then became even more well known when a couple of preteen girls who were extremely mentally ill thought he was real and that they needed to end up sacrificing their friend to him.

Slenderman is a nightmareish overly tall man who wears a suit and has no face and who in the story was often found around tragedy involving children. He was supposed to show up in pictures and on video. This is probably really, really bad. Be careful if you do go looking. Seriously. If he's around he can make you sick, like physically ill. And not only that but he causes electrics to go shorting out and we don't know what that might mean considering we're connected to our partners and Navi.

But none of it sounds like a good idea.

Of course not.

[He almost sounds a little... pleased with that response. Strange reaction.]

I am quite certain any recommendations for caution will be promptly ignored?

[That just makes Alex laugh softly.]

I mean. They have been so far, honestly. My friend Nic practically pulls his hair out over me but then goes off to do dumber things than I do.

[That does earn something of a chuckle. Yes, that sounds exactly like what he expects out of humans. Alarmingly inquisitive and courageous.]

Well, do try to be the one on the rescue missions, and not the cause of, won't you?

I’ll definitely try. I really never want to be like a damsel in distress.

Good, as long as we are in agreement. Of course it goes without saying that even if it did happen I do not believe anyone would hold it against you.

I mean. I would hold it against me so.

Would you? Perhaps if you made an unnecessary habit of it, but one should not be punished for curiosity. Nor inconvenient happenstance.

Still. I always hated how in like every movie from Superman down when I was a kid, other than like His Girl Friday, the female reporter is always a damsel in distress. It drove me nuts. Still does.

I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with media, but Jack has mentioned something of the sort in passing as well. Fortunately this is not a work of fiction and you have the ability to prove yourself far more capable than writers would have you believe.

[And he is quite certain that she will.]

[That just makes Alex beam.]

Thank you.

[Awe, he wasn't expecting her to be quite so pleased! How delightful.]

Of course. Thank you for your warning, I do hope that the other passengers shall take it to heart. I think I've kept you long enough.
