3 Killers Love

Forming an Alliance

The first night spent in the castle went fine. Dinner was well received, especially as it catered to the more unorthodox eating habits of some of the pastas. They were able to see the dynamics of the House and how Toby had fit himself in. When setting out dinner every member of the House had a part they played. Toby fit seamlessly in their routines.

The way they moved was almost fluid. Everyone knew where everyone already was. They kicked the step stool around so it always landed right where the pasta needed it. It showed a cohesiveness their own House lacked. While their own house had moved away from constantly fighting and attacking, even being somewhat friendly with each other, they were all often independent so much to the point where they would rather get hurt and suffer alone than admit to pain or inability to complete a task or objective.

As Masky watched them during dinner he had come to the conclusion that their ability to rely on each other was the only reason why they were able to win the fight. They were able to coordinate their attacks on an enemy that only fought on the same side. Until that side started to lose, at which point they ran away. By working together like they did they had strength, but they were weaker as individuals. Their House survives by their ability and willingness to work together, a very rare occurrence within the Creepypasta community.

In fact, the only two pastas, besides their Lady, that had any real form of power or strength are Game Master and Candy Pop. Both in two very different ways. Candy Pop was powerful with her 'tricks' and experience from age. Her abilities give her edges in fights, mostly in the form of her explosive balls. Her size also plays a large part in it as she is also very strong. Her size, weight, and strength allows her to easily overpower others. She is a cunning woman who knows when to quit and when to press on. Her intelligence is her strong suit as it allows her to out maneuver nearly any enemy.

Game Master was strong, one part from being a proxy to her Lord, another from being strong naturally as a human, and another part from naturally being a strong pasta. Her experiences in her Arena and her odd assortment of rules also seemed to play a part in it, if not just because certain rules can give people strength from their guidelines. It has been made clear that she does have multiple personality disorder, with the new personality being dominant in the body, allowing the submissive personality to become psychologically strong enough to protect them from most psychological attacks and even allow the submissive personality to transfer into another body. With the dominant personality in control of the body, the submissive one was able to use their Creepypasta essence to allow her to 'walk' through mirrors, allowing them to see and know more than those around them.

While eating dinner they were able to see some of the more unique eating habits of some of their hosts. Warning Call almost exclusively drank the red liquid from her wine glass. At first Masky and Hoodie had thought it was wine, but it seemed too thick to be a liquor. She was about half way through her first glass when they realized the crimson liquid was blood. Candy Pop, while she did eat some of the main meal, consumed primarily sugar. Either in the form of sweets or pastries. Neither Titanium nor Black Gold ate anything, though they still sat at the table. The only other one with an abnormal diet was Painkiller, who ate a human heart. She didn't remove her mask to eat, only pulling it forward enough to slip her fork underneath.

It was due to their unusual eating habits that they were able to cater to Slendermans pastas diets. And by doing so the majority of the tension between the two Houses. Tension caused simply by what they were and how their kind behaves. With the peace and relaxation a good meal can bring, the pastas of House Slender were able to start to look past the fact that these other pastas took on Zalgo's house and see them as themselves.

What they saw made them realize that the pastas of House Fairuza were like a bunch of poorly corralled house cats high on catnip while they themselves were more like a pride of experienced lions. Slenderman's Creepypastas were all deadly and powerful. Warning Call's pastas were...dangerous but unfocused. It's like comparing a veteran nurse to a teenager who just started studying the field.
