"(Cp/N), please stop calling me General Spaghetti."

A grin forms on my face when I see The Slender Man approaching me with some other tall faceless slender being. Slender's aura shows that he's irritated by my playful nickname for him. "Fine, I'll stop. But I was really starting to warm up to it."

"General Spaghetti!?" I heard Ticci-Toby suddenly scoff from the couch, and I turned to see him snickering behind his facial gear. "(CP/N), that's hilarious!"

"Enough with the foolish name! I am Slender Man and that is final," Slender Man sighed.

I was afraid of (Cp/N) being prone to turning out like the other fools in my manor, but there was just too much potential in them for me to discard them. I guess I wouldn't mind if they were a headache, because in the end, I only needed their undying loyalty and their allegiance. To be truthful, I didn't care what they called me.

"Sir, who are they, exactly?" My servant, Tender Man suddenly spoke up from beside me, and I sigh not very willing to go through yet another introduction with another person. "The Vagabond Walker, also known as (Cp/N). They are going to become my new proxy and live with us," I reply in short. "May we welcome them properly then?" Tender asked, and I nod my head. I then turn to (Cp/N) and motion with my finger for them to come up to us. The young mortal immediately stepped over.

"Laki. Introduce yourself," I ordered Tender Man. (Cp/N) glanced at Tender and he quickly bowed, "Tender Man, it is. Nice to meet you, Master (Cp/N)."

(Cp/N) slightly nodded their head, then responded, "Actually, I don't mind if you use my real name, (Y/N)."

Tender Man dipped his head and then I turned their attention to me.

"How is your affirmation into the mansion? Has The Chaser taken you along well?" I asked, facing both (CP/N) and Kate. (Cp/N) nodded and responded, "She showed me everywhere I needed to know in the mansion, and I've met some of the other killers, but on my own."

"How do you like it here so far?"

(Cp/N) looked down at the ground for a moment before giving a slight shrug of their shoulders. "It's fine, besides the fact that this big red husky nearly tore my arm off, some freakish clown pulled candy out of their guts and tried to give it to me, and your clock-eyed freak is trying to get people to avoid me."

It was then that I noticed (Cp/N)'s bandaged arm and I growled darkly. "Smile Dog was responsible for this? Or did another Creepypasta order him to attack (CP/N)?"

"No one told him to, Master," Kate spoke up. "And I...tried my best to stop him. Smile was only trying to keep everyone safe, thinking (Cp/N) was an intruder."

I sigh, shaking my head and mumble, "This is why I can never leave a newbie to you imbeciles...thank you Chaser for at least looking out for The Walker."

Kate nodded and then nudged (Cp/N) lightly in the shoulder.. It looked to me like those two could become good friends. That would perhaps make their training a lot easier than normal.

"I'm glad you two seem to be getting along well," I say, looking between Kate and (Y/N), "I hope I can see the same enthusiasm towards our newcomer from everyone else here—especially you three, Hoodie, , Toby."

"Don't worry about me on that, boss," Toby mused lightly, "I think I like them already."

"I accept whatever you want us to do, Sir," Hoodie added. I turn to Masky, but he's busy pretending he's not listening to me. I honestly can't be upset with him—he always does exactly whatever I tell him and he does his duties efficiently. I can hear through his thoughts that he isn't too supportive of my choice to recruit a new proxy, but that will be his pitiful disapproval kept to himself.

I am fine with my decision, and I could see much potential hidden within (Cp/N).

"I bid that you come with me and Tender, Walker. There is something I must show you," I said, motioning for (Cp/N) to follow me. "We won't be long."

(Cp/N) nodded and walked up beside me and my servant. I began walking off and Tender Man escorted them close behind me. "Come along, Sire (Y/N)."

Slender Man and the butler, Tender Man were just about to lead me off somewhere when suddenly there was the loud sound of stomping coming from the steps. Then down from the stair railings slid these two strange looking guys—one wore all black and had a black and white scarf wrapped around his neck. He had black hair and his face was covered with a black and white two-sided mask that actually seemed to be apart of his face. The other had very dark blue-black hair with pale gray eyes and wore what looked like some rusty old armory. His face wasn't covered by a mask, so I could see the mischievous looking grin on his face.

The black and white one hopped off the railing and ran straight up to me and grabbed my face, ultimately freaking me out because I thought he was gonna actually kill me and his claws were digging into my cheeks.

"New guy..." He said with a tone of amazement, his 'mask face' seemingly staring into my soul. "Heheh, you're scaring them..." The blue haired one murmured, staring at me with a wide grin. Slender Man had stopped walking and turned around spotting the two and flared at the blue haired guy and the one holding my face angrily. "KageKao! Former! What the hell are you two doing to my proxy!?" He snarled.

"What's your name, newbie?" The one in front of me asked, pressing his hands against my cheeks tighter and ignoring Slender Man. "(Y-Y/N)! Dude, th-this hurts, let go!" I cried, grabbing his hands trying to pry them off of my face. Slender Man stormed up to the male and quickly shoved him away from me, making him fall back onto the ground.

"Calm down, Slende-sama, I only wanted to see the newcomer for myself. You can't hog them all to yourself!" He groaned, slowly pulling himself up from off the ground. "I'm not hogging them, I just need to speak with them for a few!" Slender Man growled, and I rub my sore face while glaring at the two curiously. "Who are you guys?" I ask, looking at the masked one.

His mask formed a grin and he replied gallantly, "なまえは、かげかおです; My name's KageKao, the mansion's best killer there is to offer......D'ya like anime?"

I grin a bit and nod, "I do like anime."

"Good! Then we're going to get along just fine." KageKao then turned to the blue haired male and added, "This here, this is Former-kun. What do you say about hanging out with the two of us, new kid?"

"My name is (Y/N)," I sigh, "and sure, I don't mind."

"They can't right now , KageKao. Like I said, I need to speak with my future proxy for a moment," Slender Man grumbled, looking angrily at the killer. You could even see the creases on his faceless face. "I'd feel bad for (Y/N) if they had to spend their time hanging out with you. They should be free to come with us instead..." KageKao sneered, then grabbing ahold of my non-injured arm. Former copied his friend and grabbed onto my other arm, slightly chuckling.

"You don't listen. I swear, if you don't get your ass out here and leave my proxy alone, you are going to get it, KageKao! You too, Former!" Slender Man hissed, his tendrils beginning to wave wildly behind him and a dark aura arising around him. "Former didn't even do anything..." Former muttered, quickly letting go of my arm and cautiously backing away from him. KageKao gave a heavy, annoyed sigh. "You're no fun, Master; we just want to get to know our newbie here. But since you're going to be so uptight about it, fine, we'll leave. We're still gonna get (Y/N) to join us later on though, you'll see."

KageKao let go of my arm and turned away from me, beginning to head for the steps again with Former following close behind him. I watch the two of them until they left all the way upstairs, then I looked to Slender Man.

"Sorry about them," He sighed, rubbing his forehead and his dark aura fading, "the two of them are usually a pain—especially KageKao. He's a prankster, and is always causing trouble in the manor with either Former, Jeff, or some other idiot at his aid. I would recommend you try not to get too involved with him, understood?"

"He seems pretty cool, but alright, if you say so," I reply, though I really wanted to hang out with KageKao since they one, he actually looked fucking cool and two he mentioned liking anime. Hanging with someone that had the same interests as me—that would definitely make it a lot easier to live here at the mansion.

Slender Man seemed a bit impatient at the moment , and so did Tender, so I suggested he take me along like he was originally going to. When he was sure it was only me and Tender Man following him, he led us straight to this very big, long hall with a few doors and into some office.
