Guys, the 'Smiling Man' is bullshit. I don't buy it and you shouldn't either. Seems to me like there's two more likely solutions here.
Either someone had a nasty run in with Writer and decided his likeness would make a fucking fantastic guise to scare people with under the premise of being one of the fucking 'Fears' OR it's Writer himself getting tired of working for the tall fucker and trying to establish himself as something bigger. Either way, just a guy. Not a real Fear. At worst, a disgruntled Crafter off his fucking rocker.
The guy I had a run in with is dead. Now, if that was the bastard himself, he's dead. I dunno that even Writer could come back from that, and it definitely wasn't Writer. If that was a lackey, well then I guess I made my point because no more flowers have shown up.
More importantly, I'm fucking drowning in Hollows. None of them are good enough to do me any serious harm, but a few have gotten in lucky shots due to sheer overwhelming numbers. I can't simultaneously stop ten hollows from attacking-quickly in sequence, yes, but I'd have to be superhuman to never ever get hit. I've got so many fucking stitches right now I look like fucking Frankenstein. It's a good damn thing I picked up a lot of field medicine crap from the Boss.
I need to start getting shit done before I actually get hit hard enough to make a difference.
You're really fucking going with that theory? Won't you even consider the possibility that you're dealing with another Fear?
ReplyDeleteYes, there just happens to be a fear that's almost identical to my old handler. That totally makes more sense.
DeleteBut everything I can find about the 'smiling man' describes him the same fucking way. So it's not just for me.
DeleteHe's different for me.
DeleteGood for you
DeleteThose poor hollows...
ReplyDeleteThey're better off dead.
DeleteNo one is better off dead.
DeleteThey were dead long before I was involved.I just helped their bodies figure it out.
DeleteAh ah ah...Monsters do exist, viper, just look at meeeee~ Or yourself, really! Killing ten zombies all by yourself must have been HARD WORK, huh, sweetie?
ReplyDeleteOne of us. One of us.
DeleteYou're very employable.
DeleteI've been inside the Smiling Man's domain. Trust me, he's real.
ReplyDeleteHe could use an air freshener though because goddammit that place smelled like rotten corpses.
Or you got thrown into a loop. Food for thought.
