I'm hanging around the kitchen stuffing myself with (F/S) because I need the energy and Slenders decided to make today a training day. I'm really not in the mood for training today but what can I do, Slenders rules an all.
It was the last of (F/S) so that told me I should probably go to an outside store and get some more later. Glitchy Red waltzes into the kitchen seeing I'm enjoying the last of (F/S) and starts fuming. He starts snapping at me like I give a crap and I just stand there watching him while calmly eating. He eventually demands the snack from me and I pelt the already empty bag at him before simply walking out of the kitchen.
I'm just passing by the living room and I see Slender near the front yelling at Kagekao for something stupid he must've done again.
Should I stand by and watch?
...
Nah, I have better things to do. Like getting an extra 30 minutes of sleep before training!
I start off for the stairs when suddenly I heard the loudest explosion come from the front door, and I see the door itself now flying in my direction. I jump out of the way in a panic and and roll to the side, staring at the front entrance to the mansion on high alert.
Once the dust and debris cleared, I watch as in stepped this really tall rando... I blinked, taking in their image; shoulder-length white hair fell from beneath the hood they wore that was connected to a gray and black striped sweater. By looking at their right hand, it seemed to be robotic rather than normal. An axe was being held lazily in this person's grasp, and their face was covered by a black mask with the only visible feature on it being silver eye holes.
They seemed to look around for a bit at the debris scattered on the floor, then at the faces of all the shocked pastas sitting around in the living room, then directly at Slender, who was frozen in the corner with Kagekao.
They started facing Slenders for a bit before speaking with the most laid back, casual tone as if they didn't just literally blast open the doors of the mansion. "I'm back."
Slender was still for a little while longer before slowly raising a hand to his head and rubbing the baldness. "Um...yes...what a surprise Discord, I did not expect ...your return...."
Discord, Whose that? Return...?
The other Creepypastas that were in the room started reacting as well, and I just stood there taking in their image in utter confusion, feeling awkward that I didn't even know who this was like everyone else.
Kagekao suddenly screeched out loud and bounced away from Slender, barreling towards the stranger with open arms. "Viku-chan!!!"
He stopped just before he reached the stranger and suddenly reached out, roughly grabbing their hand and shaking it.
Although, Kagekao is an absolute idiot as usual, because he shakes their hand so unnecessarily hard (and this was the robotic looking hand I'm taking about) that it literally rips off of their body. Blood starts leaking onto the ground from where their robotic arm once was.
My eyes widen as I sit there watching Kagekao holding this Discord's arm still smiling like it was all a joke. "Glad you're back! Kekekeke~...."
I watch Discord nervously as they stare at Kagekao for a long moment in utter silence, afraid of what was to come next. Then, I watch as Discord suddenly snatches the arm back from Kagekao, slaps the ever-loving shit out of him with the same arm, then reattached it to their body and stepped over his now shaking form on the ground.

I'm contemplating sneaking away to my room after that, feeling uneasy about the vibes I was getting from this person, but I only find myself watching as they approach Slender. Slender is giving off a guilty kind of aura now, so I'm beginning to wonder what's up and how he knows this stranger.
"It seems you're back..." He mumbled, folding his hands behind his back again. "It's surely been a while, my proxy..."
"Proxy!?" I accidentally spat aloud. This immediately gains the attention of Slender and Discord and I quickly crook my head in an awkward position, feeling slightly embarrassed. SlenderMan's guilt aura increased ever so slightly and he faces me, "Yes, Proxy. (Cp/N), this is my sixth and FINAL—let me repeat—FINAL, proxy, Discord. Although I think she prefers to be called Vix or something like that, never know with you little shits—I mean ahem, she's ...been off-duty for a while..."
I just stand there glancing between Slender and his apparent other proxy, dumbfounded. "Wait a minute Slenders, you've had another proxy this whole time and you never even bothered to even mention that? You did this same thing with Rogue, only telling me about her when she showed up!"
Vix seemed to be glaring SlenderMan down and Slender just seemed absolutely miserable about it. "In my defense..." He growled, "she's been MIA for so long it was as if she's never stepped foot in this mansion. I only gave you a month of vacation, fool."
"And I did take a month. Just like you told me to. Thing is, the place I went to, a month there is like..." Vix tilts her head up a bit as if thinking, then shrugged, "probably a couple years or so....? Yeah."
Slender facepalmed himself and emitted a loud sigh that was probably heard across the mansion. I wasn't sure wether to still be shocked, angry, or just amused.
Slender eventually slumped his shoulders and guided Vix by the shoulder, starting to approach me. In the back of my head I'm thinking I should run because I kinda don't want to meet the proxy that just knocked Kagekao out with their detached robot arm but before I can get ready to dash, one of Slender's tendrils wrap around my leg, keeping me from going.
"(Cp/N), I know this is sudden and you're probably upset..." Slenders began, "but I think it would be a good idea for you and Vix to get to know each other so when it comes time to train and go on missions, it will be easier to work together. I will move you and the proxies training session to later today."
I want to respond but the way Vix is probably just glaring at me through their creepy mask is starting to bug me. Not to mention...they're kinda freakin tall, so her just staring down on me was a bit nerve racking.
"Okay Slenders" I eventually mumble, trying to look away from the both of them. Slender faced Vix and sighed, "Please, just do your best and try to get along with (Cp/N). They're a good proxy of mine."
Vix simply shrugged, so Slender shook his head and began to glide off, leaving us standing there.
It's a long moment of silence before I speak up, awkwardly. "Um. Hi, Vix, Im (Y/N) and uh...I've been here for a few months...Slender kind of kidnapped me when I was trying to get out of going to school and..."
I trialed off when the aura around Vix was starting to give off the feelings of "boring" and her shoulders slightly slumped. "Sorry," I chuckled nervously and glance at the ground for a bit, "you don't really wanna hear my life story....Maybe I could ....show you my room or something?"

I look back up to see her response but Vix was just...
Gone.
I look around but she's nowhere to be seen anymore. "Why does it feel like the cool people in the mansion always avoid me or are the ones that are mean to me," I mutter to myself. Welp, at least Slender gave me some extra time before I have to go training—even though I was supposed to be using this time to get to know Vix.
It doesn't seem like she wanted to hear from me anyways so I'll probably just go sleep. Or hang with another Creepypasta, anything to just waste time. I completely ignore the broken off door that was still smashed against the stair case and head upstairs, walking to my room.
I'm just opening the door and about to step into the room when the form of Vix literally just appears right in front of me.
"FKFUD—" I spat, nearly stumbling away from being practically jumpscared. My heart was pounding so much I thought it'd just burst out of my body. "VIX," I quack at her, "why....what are you ...you can teleport!??"
"Yeah. Isn't it cool?"
Oh. Well at least she'll talk to me.
Maybe I should just be nice.
"Yeah...super cool," I respond, slowly pulling myself back together. "Your just like Slenders. Except...slender doesn't try and scare me with his abilities but it's all good, heh...!"
Vix just stays quiet, staring at me behind her mask for a while before speaking again, "Oh, that scared you? I didn't even notice."
...I couldn't tell if she was mocking me or trying to make me feel like I didn't act like a idiot infront of her when she jump scared me.
I scratch my head, not sure of what to say next. "So you're Slender's proxy...? When did you get here? Did Slenders kidnap you too?" I eventually ask her. "You're telling me no one, not one person in this whole mansion ever said one thing about me?" She responded, her voice now sounding kind of pissed. "No......"
Vix goes back to silence and starting for a while, then just walks off. I watch her as she stalks down the hall, and I'm left wondering if shes mad at me or...
...Oh, who cares. I really find it hard to understand her intentions so far and I genuinely believe she might hate me, so why bother even trying. I sigh and slowly stumble into my room looking forwards to getting some extra rest.
—
When I wake up again, I decide to go check with Slenders about when he wants to start the training, and see if the other proxies were ready.
I head out of my room and towards the training area. When I get there, the proxies are already gathered in there. I see that Vix is with them and I awkwardly try to slide myself into the conversation.
"R-Really glad your back, Vee, we missed-d ya!" Toby exclaimed, ruffling Vix's head. Except, it looked kinda funny because Vix stood taller than Toby and he had to reach up a bit just to reach her head. "Yeah, we thought you forgot all about us honestly..." Kate added. "She may as well have. I'm surprised you even bothered to come home. Who gave you special permission to neglect your duty as a proxy for a whole year!?" Masky scolded at Vix.
"Who gave you special permission to be an ass," Vix muttered, sounding annoyed by Masky scolding her. "It's alright Mask, at least she's back now right?" Hoodie tried to calm the situation.
"Hey. Are we gonna train yet or..."I finally spoke up, trying to get everyone's attention. Everyone turned to me as if I interrupted them greeting the Queen of England...
"Oh, Walker! Did you meet our old buddy yet? She's one of us!" Rogue finally exclaimed, breaking the silence and resting an elbow on Vix's shoulder.
"Yeah. She broke down the front door of the mansion...slapped Kagekao to next Tuesday...nearly gave me a heart attack...good stuff so far," I respond. I glance at Vix but she's just glaring back at me again. Is this...is this all she does when IM around...?
She looks pretty neat and all and feels like a proxy type but she's just been acting really strange around me specifically and I don't know why. Maybe she's unhappy Slender hired a new proxy while she was away? I really shouldn't get blamed for that—I still stand by the fact that I never asked Slender to be here.
"Training doesn't start until 5. Why not you two take some time to get to know each other?" Hoodie suggested.
We already tried that...!
"Th-That's a great idea. I think you'll really grow on her, (Y/N). She's like a little sister to me, right Vix?" Toby said, nudging her robotic arm. Vix looks between me and Toby and gives a thumbs up.
I sigh, "Fine, why not. Five minutes isn't that long anyways."
I turn and start walking out of the training room, motioning for Vix to follow me. I turn and see that she didn't even bother to move—she just stares at me from the same spot. "Are you coming...?" I ask. I notice the other proxies prodding her to go with me and I heave another sigh, just turning back to head up the rest of the stairs.
Except I turn and she's suddenly in my fucking face again. I tumble back down the steps I already walked up and roll miserably into the wall at the bottom. I hear Toby and Rogue's loud unnecessary snort and can feel Masky grinning at me beneath his mask.
"This is...gonna be....a long day, isn't it," I groan, not even bothering to pick myself up. Vix seems to slowly approach my sprawled body on the bottom of the steps and I'm surprised when she suddenly reaches down and picks me up, then just carries me up the stairs and out of the basement.
"Um. Thanks....Vix..." I mumble. She crooked her head at me and I had no idea what that meant but I just took it as a non-hostile response and lazily let her carry around because why not, free ride.
—
Im in the kitchen with Vix trying to pass the time before training. I decide to try again with telling her my life story so she could understand why I'm even here, and she seems to actually be focusing on me this time and paying attention. Im starting to feel happy about that because I originally thought she hated me and usually no one gives two craps about my life.
But Vix seemed to actually be listening to me!
- - - Vix's p. o. v - - -
Wasn't really listening to the shit coming out of this dude's mouth but they seemed really happy that I pretended to look interested so I thought, heh, why not keep up the act?
(Y/n) or (Cp/N) or whatever their name is didn't seem that bad, like Slender said so I'm probably not going to torment them too much. Still, I didn't feel 100% sure around this 'new proxy' of Slender's so I'm not gonna act all loose and easy around them yet. At least so far they'll be pretty fun to jumpscare. That could be like...our thing. They might end up hating me if I keep doing it though...
Eh, worth it.
(Y/N)'s still droning on about Slender kidnapping them or something and I'm just standing there listening. Not really listening but just staring at them so it looked like I was. They're busy talking but I then notice in the corner of my eye Jane pass by us on her way to the living room. My eyes immediately stick to her, attention on (Y/n) disappearing faster than my will to live...
- - - (Y/N)'s p. o. v. - - -
"And then that's when Slenders really tried to get me to shut up but get this—his weakness is memes. Isn't that great???"
Vix for literally no reason just abruptly turns and walks off without another word starting to follow Jane who I just noticed passed by us in the kitchen.
"Wh-What...what the..."
I watch dumbfounded and my eyes follow after her as she catches up with Jane and the two of them head off to the living room together, Vix suddenly talking and acting like a charming idiot around Jane and Jane happily chatting back with her.
I...wasn't sure how to feel, like if I should feel hurt or not care because I really thought me and Vix were getting along just now...even though I was the only one talking the whole time. Now she just straight up left in the middle of our one-sided conversation. Maybe she really did finally get bored of me talking.
I guess I'll just head to the basement with the other proxies so we could start our training session... That'll help me gain back the bit of self-confidence I just lost.
Slender glides into the kitchen before I leave and pulls up to me. "(Cp/N), when you go training I want you to take the time to practice and inform Vix of your skills. You will show her your newfound strengths, and Vix will introduce you to her ability to shapeshift and take different forms. It's important that you both learn each other's strengths and weaknesses so that you may be prepared for future missions."
"Alright then," I respond, "but uh, Slenders? I don't think Vix...likes me very much. Or maybe they're okay with me? She's been acting really weird and I don't know how I'm gonna work with that. She says next to nothing to me as well, but talks to everyone else. Is something wrong with me?" I ask, now starting to even question my worth. I bet Vix looks at me like a piece of trash beneath her mask... or maybe she doesn't? I don't know!
"Walker. Please stop panicking about this for no reason. Vix doesn't know you and you don't know Vix. This is why I specifically said take the time to get to know each other. She will warm up to you eventually. Her actions may be strange and out of place but her intentions aren't cruel. You'll figure it out, as you do everything else."
Slenders words seemed to put me at a bit of an ease, and a breathe out to calm myself. "If you say so, sir. I'll try and find a way to help her open up to me," I respond. "Good. I always expect fine results from you, my proxy. Now, go on and begin training with the others."
I nod my head and run off out of the kitchen. I look around in the living room but Vix isn't there anywhere anymore. She...isn't going to pop up scare me again, is she...? I start being wary of my surroundings and walk forward carefully.
I was just about to head into the basement when Slenders for some odd reason approaches me again. I try not to sigh out of annoyance that he seems to keeps coming to me today and straighten up as I face him.
"Did you... need something sir."
"(Cp/N), Ive actually decided I need you to run a quick errand for me. Forget training for now."
I tilt my head and mutter, "but General, the other proxies are waiting for me and you said you wanted me to show off my skills to Vix and—"
"Yes yes, correct, but this will be more important, you can do that afterwards," He interrupted me. "I need you to head to the store, buy me one of those basic toilet plungers, and bring it back. That's all I need."
I was puzzled at first, but then I groan, "Did someone stuff the toilets again?"
"Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. But I just need you to do what I ordered." He then scoffed and added, "when you come back, I want you to place it specifically on my head. Do not ask why, just do the job I kidnapped you for, and do as I say. Understood?"
I....What.
I gawk at Slender for a bit, trying not to throw up and explode into laughter at the same time by this weird request, then I take a deep breath calming myself before dipping my head. "As you wish, boss."
He slightly dips his head and then glides off elsewhere. Toilet plunger, huh? Fancy. May as well grab some more snacks too while I'm at the store so Glitch doesn't bitch when I wanna snack on Doritos...
—
I get back home to the mansion after having to walk all the way to the store and back instead of drive because the proxy van apparently broke down again so I had no choice but to walk. It's now getting to be pretty late, but Slenders told me not to worry about training while I went to grab his stuff.
I go place the snacks in the kitchen and see Vix there, leaning against the counter. I decide to try being nice and offer her a new bag of Doritos. She takes it, glares at it, then reached and gives me two simple pats on the head.
...So, that must mean we're on a good page right?
I smiled awkwardly and quickly turn to hurry out the kitchen, not wanting to do anything else to mess up the possible good standing that's between us.

8 118Sweetleaf Cultivation
If you’re reading this. Not cool Dude! Or Dudette. Hashtag Resist. Seriously though, it’s not nice to read other people's diaries. Yes, it's a diary, kind of. The only men who call their diaries journals have an issue with their own masculinity I think. Well, I guess I can’t be too angry, considering if this is in anyone else’s hands I’m probably dead. Or I lost it. I lose stuff a lot. Since you’re here, regardless of the reason, I guess I’ll tell my story, such as it is. I know, why tell my story when I could tell you about the Fall of Killianor, or the story of when Micha the Bold banded together with his underdog group of misfits to destroy the Pallantine Regime. Hell, even the tale of Tulsa and Gran’s star crossed love affair would probably be better. If you don’t think so after finishing this you more than likely have poor taste. Weird taste, at any rate. Hello RR! Welcome to the greatest work of fiction you will ever read! ... .... Did you believe that? Cause its not. At all. This is my first work that I will have published in any fashion, and to be completely honest is more to gain practice for my real story. That is not to say I do not care about it. I do. I will do my best to finish it in, if not satisying, at least a conclusive manner. I will warn you however that updates will be infrequent at best though chapter length will not be under 2000 words. I work third shift currently, and at over 40 hours a week I do not have much time to really devote to this at the moment. I DO have an outline for the novel complete, but currently only about 5 actual chapters written and edited. There will be mistakes, including grammar and continuity, plot holes, etc.. If you see these please either comment or feel free to message me directly, and I will get it updated asap. Aside from a fledgeling authors mishaps, expect to find a somewhat comedic slice of life, with a mish mash of xianxia and western fantasy themes, tropes and the like. There will be some gore, network tv levels of sexuality, and absolutely no harems. There will also be COPIUS amount of swearing and drug use and while I said there would be no harems already he may find people in polyamorous situations. I hope you enjoy this, and as a last aside I beg of you not to rate it super low without justification, and if you give a bad rating please leave an actual review so that i know what I need to work on. *Original cover as of 09/01/20. Mishmash of stock photos and edits. HAVE FUN!
