Slenderverse[creepypasta] Encounters and Research

ENTRY #8: RABBIT OR HABIT

The static method is a common way my friends[two of them were mentioned in ENTRY #7: FOLLOW THE TUNE] and I had communicated with supernatural beings in the past. It involves having at least two people[well it can be just one person as well], one is the "translator" and the another just talks to the entity. The translator will wear a pair of headphones, cover their eyes[more recommended with a cloth or blindfold], and play TV static. The static needs to be loud enough so the translator cannot hear anything else around them. As they focus focus on the static, the person will begin to hear things within it. These voices and sounds they hear are belived to be the entity trying to communicate and talk to the people participating within the method. The translator will then say whatever they hear as it happens, while the other people can talk to the entity by asking questions or stating things.

My friends and I have communicated with A LOT of ghosts this way, some kind, some weird, and some just straight up psychotic. Though...one night I had brought up the idea to do the method again as we had communicated with a really kind spirit and I wanted to talk to her again as she said she would return. The others agreed to that idea as everyone had grown to like her.

While my friend, who we'll call Translator since they translated this time, got ready, I couldn't help but have this bad gut wrenching feeling that was settling in my stomach. Now...obviously when dealing with entites, you're going to feel presences. You're going to get bad feelings...but...this was different. Way different. It didn't help that I was sitting by two hallways, so compared to the others, I was more exposed to any dangers that lurkes within the dark hallways.

Before we had done the static method, we had gone to the store and got "fake wine." It was basically just pop as it states on the bottle[I think...?] So I was chugging that down as a way to distract myself. Obviously it's non-alcoholic so it didn't have any effects that alcohol does but it I did find myself feeling a little woozy. Perhaps from stress. As the translator repeated what the entity was saying, I did immediately recognize that it wasn't the same spirit we intended to talk to. Now that I think about it...we never heard from her again after IT showed up. I couldn't but feel like whatever it was saying...sounded familiar. Almost like it's way of speaking was oddly familiar.

Everything's a blur of what it said, well...that was until it said something that caught my attention. I remember that I immediately had stopped chugging the pop out of the glass bottle and just paused. It seemed that everyone just paused after hearing what it said. If I recall correctly...it had said something along the lines of, "I'm right behind the one who's chugging that...kid wine." A few of my friends and I had a BAD habit of calling it "kid wine." Well they did. I just called it "fake wine", as it suited it more. Now that I think bout it...after it said that, I had felt a presence behind me. It seemed that my friends did as well. This did not help with my uneasiness but I decided to listen in what else it had to say.

I cannot recall what else it said. Or at least not what it said before the original translator had to leave. After she left, someone else took her place. The entity was still there even after us taking a break. I kept asking who or what it was but it wouldn't answer me. But after a while I didn't need for it to answer that question. I had figured it out by one simple word. I cannot recall what it said but in that sentence I remember it calling us, "rabbits." That's when I found out who it was. Habit. As if one eldrich being wasn't enough, of course it just had to show up. Well it claimed it had been around for a long time so I guess it just finally decided to show itself and confirm it.

It also claimed that it had talked to Patrick...Patrick is an alter of mine that only a few of my friends know about as they've spoken to him before. This had definitely caught my attention as I started wondering what they talked about. How they know about each other.

Habit had also mentioned something about a "big plan" coming up. Apparently this plan involved Patrick and I. It found me interesting. Obviously not in a romantic way. Though...I don't think you want to be called interesting in any single way by any eldrich being. It spoke about how it's going to kill my two friends who were in the same room as me just for fun whenever it wanted to. I don't know if this situation happened during this static method but my friend did say that while translating, they had heard strange music and got a strange vision. They were running through the local walking trails of our town while something[I'm going to assume Habit] was chasing them. The funny story is that...they hadn't been in the walking trails in a LONG TIME and didn't even remember what they looked like. They had to describe it to us and I confirmed that it was the walking trails. Obviously I'm going to try to not let this happen as I don't want to lose the two people dear to me. It still hasn't told us it's big plan to this day.

I tried to pry more information out of it but it wouldn't budge. It wanted a price. Of course...a price. That price was for us-, well me to join it[I finally get to know how Vinnie felt :(...], and in return it'll tell us things on the future. It even says that it would keep Slenderman from taking any of us as proxies. It said it wouldn't keep it away from us but can still prevent us from joining it. It took A LONG time for me to agree but I eventually did. It was stupid...I know. I regret it. But I'm a sucker for knowledge. I needed to know more. I held out my hand and I remember the feeling of something or someone shaking it. And that's how we got involved with Habit.

Sometimes when we encounter it, it'll be over the static. Sometimes I've even seen it. It's true form. It sounds crazy...I know...it has also possessed not only me but one of my friends in the past as well. It even admitted to killing my cat. I'm sure you're confused about my last statement...well uh...a while ago, my cat had gone missing and I couldn't find it but I would always get weird dreams or visions. The feeling of guts on my hands. Blood and bones in my mouth...against my teeth...the truth really does hurt...even though it's better to know rhe truth...I'd rather not know about this. I didn't want to know this.

I thought I was crazy at first honestly. I thought it was all hallucinations...however that changed when I noticed my friends saw and went through the exact same stuff as me at the same time. Some days I'm glad I have people there to confirm I'm not crazy. To confirm that I'm not alone. But some days...I worry. Did I put their lives at risk? I know I can't control it but I still feel guilty. Really guilty. I just...I don't want them to get hurt. Not by Slenderman, not by Habit, not be anything else...I...I don't know what to do. They've already seen Slenderman and experienced symptoms. They've already seen Habit and spoke to it, whether it was by Habit possessing someone or by it simply talking though the static. However, it's already a set deal. You can't change what already happened. That's the scary part. They won't leave till they get what they want, and what they want is control.

Ever since this experience, we have been dealing with a lot. By it simply mocking us over the static, it following us around, to it EVEN possessing people. It's gettin' a little out of hand...but we have to stay strong. We can. If anyone is currently dealing with Habit as well and can find out more information about it then that would be very much appreciated.

Well...we're nearly gettin' through all my past experiences and now catching onto the present ones. Not entirely but we're gettin' close. I do apologize if this one is kind of jumbled, I had tried to fit a bit in here so I wouldn't have to do so many about Habit. It has a knack for bothering us. It's annoying. Well...I hope you all have a wonderful day and I bid you all farewell. Goodbye for now.
