Forged Insanities

It's finally the day of the convention, but despite all this I was nervous about meeting people and not the crowds. I was dressed up as Ticci Toby which he had similar origins as I did and his get up wasn't hard to pull off. I just needed a brown hoodie, blue jeans, and some goggles to complete the look, but of course I did grab some extra things so I could mimic the character better so I might win the cosplay competition. My hopes were dashed when I saw a couple of the contenders, so I decided I may try after buying a couple props like a hatchet since I wasn't able to get one before. With this in mind I stroll around the market taking quick glances at everything trying to limit my options, so it doesn't take too much time to find something. I limited myself to three stores, but one of them was more like a garage sale since he was just sitting on the side waiting for customers. I decided I'd pay the old guy some attention maybe after buying something more people will open up.

"Hello there young one what have you come to see?" he asks in a low voice probably trying to mimic the character he's dressed as, but I don't recognize it...I really should play more games.

"I'm curious to see if you have any hatchets that I could use as props for my cosplay." I told him while shifting my gaze from item to item.

"Hmmm...I see, then here you go it'll be 50 dollars, but if you buy it then you get a second newer one for free!" he said while handing me an old rusty hatchet, then pulling out a brand new one with an orange handle exactly like the one Ticci Toby uses.

"Deal!" I say with a smile, but I had the mask on so he couldn't see it. The odd thing about the mask was that it only covered the mouth unlike other ones.

"Thank you for your purchase." he say, then he waves his hand dismissively after that I teleported away into another world, but he was with me.

"What did you do?!" I exclaim as I got up off the ground.

"What?! Your awake, but no one stays conscious when teleported to their new dimension!" he then dives towards me he then punched me in the gut before disappearing implanting me with some sort of object rather quickly it must've been what he was going to do before I shocked messed up his plan. I cut parts of it with the hachect, but the rest sneaked inside linking me with something I'm guessing he was trying something

Now you're stuck with me, and you will be my proxy. a voice says in my head, but it wasn't that old man's voice it was new and much more menacing.

"Now why would I want that, and what would happen if I denied I mean seriously what can you do yell at me?"

I can rip your mind in two for I'm the man without a face, so you *WILL** obey.* the figure warned as he appeared behind me placing a hand on my shoulder before disappearing once more.

"Well that clears up that mystery." I say as I begin my hike through the mountains. I realize now that if I wasn't awake when he sent me here I would've had no influence on my body, so once again my teleportation ability has saved me again. I run around with constant whispers and visions and with it I'm losing my memory, but I'm guessing it's because of the Slenderman. I keep running until I found myself in a run down town with a whole bunch of furries. I guess this must be some sort of special event wherever I was sent. I run on down with my hoodie up to cover my head with my mask and goggles on, so it seems that I'm going along with the event or don't come out as odd.

Kill them until you find another *Proxy*** I hear in my head which I say firmly with a no until it subsided to some level I can bear. With a thought in mind I walk on over to one of the locals to ask where I am and if someone can help me with my problem.

"Hello there...miss could you help me?" I ask trying to be polite which was quite difficult with the get-up she had, which was purple-ish skin along with a green beanie as a little hat though her hair was quite odd as well.

"Hmm? Well you seem interesting for a pony...wait a sec...your not a pony!" she exclaims like it was taboo as she just stared at my face which was just a mini mask covering my mouth, goggles covering my eyes, along with a hoodie.

"What do you mean?" I say calmly until the Slenderman starts screaming in my head once more.

KILL HER NOW! I struggle to not make a move to try and kill her since that Slenderman is very determined to end her for some reason.

"You are like me your not of the normal population. Here the norm is ponies, but that begs the question...what are you?" she explains as she follows suit with a question of her own...what the fuck do her parents teach her?!

"I'm......human... I think, well I was never in the norm even among my own 'species' though how did you figure me out with me having all this to hide those features."

"It's because you have a similar aura as I do...by the way since you probably won't ask my names Screwball."

"Well it's nice to meet you though I'm going to question your parents chose of name."

"Well my dad is the lord of Chaos Discord so what'd you expect something normal that makes sense...well tell you what here's a satin' I know 'What's fun in making sense' so now it's your turn what is your name?" she responds with another question which is starting to become her thing.

"Well then miss my name is...my name is...it's um...I-I-I'm not sure...entirely."

Why you do this to me slender?! I voice to him hoping that his connection works both ways.

Because if you have all your memories then how will I use you as I wish. he responds in a calm tone like this is just another normal occurrence to him or it.

"Hey...whatever you are why are you staring into space while making these facial gestures like." she then proceeded to try an mimic what she saw by furrowing her eyebrows then arcing them up giving what is probably puppy dog eyes until she falls on the ground laughing in hysterics.

Your name is Toby. he/it tells me so I could answer the little anthro's question.

"I just remembered part of my name it's......"

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"For dramatic effect...anyways my name is Toby."
