(Y/n) was just your average future art major. They had a college picked out, a life, a future ahead of them. However, that dream was swiftly blown to pieces after a catastrophic event plaques their small town and they turn into something that'll cha...
Toby's POV I stare at myself in the mirror, twitching here and there. My tourette's didn't seem like they were going to be too bad today, but I remained pessimistic about it. Sometimes I wish I was just born normal. I walk out of my bathroom, hearing soft knocks at my door. I put on my goggles and mask before opening it.
I was greeted by (Y/n). I immediately noticed that they were wearing the biohazard shirt Max found for them. I can't believe he was right. They actually like it. "N-Nice shirt." I said sort of awkwardly. They nodded. "It's perfect." (Y/n) said, a bit of excitement shining in their eyes. "Max th-thought you might like it." I said stepping out and closing my door. "Let me g-guess. You need h-help finding your way?" They nodded in response to my question. I began to lead them to the kitchen and dinning room.
(Y/n)'s POV As I walked behind Toby, I started becoming increasingly nervous about meeting the others. "So are there any visitors or semi residents here right now?" I asked, trying not to seem nervous. Toby shook his head and I sighed a little in relief. "J-just permanent residents.. though th-there are nine p-permanent ones."
My eyes widened. Nine people live here on a daily basis? "Th-though more than half of them are proxies." He added. I nodded, remembering. There are currently five Slenderman proxies including Toby. 'Why would a seemingly powerful creature need that many proxies anyways?' I thought to myself. ~~
The moment Toby and I walked into the dining room, everyone became silent and stared. Unfortunately, Toby wasn't the reason they were staring. They were staring at me.
I began feeling increasingly self conscious with everyone's eyes on me. Toby snapped me out of my thoughts as he lead me to a seat at the other end of the table. I sat down next to Toby, and everyone seemed to continue their conversations.
I took in my surroundings. Across from me was a girl who looked around nineteen wearing a white hoodie. She had black hair that went a little past her shoulders and next to her plate was a white mask that was dirty with, what looked like, charcoal. Next to her sat a man in his twenties wearing a tan jacket. He also had dark hair and a white mask next to him. Sitting next to him was another man in his twenties. He wore a yellow hoodie and had light brown hair. Sticking out of his pocket was, what looked like, a ski mask with red eyes and a red frown. At that point I decided to not look further down the table and tried to focus on the few people near me.
I looked over to Toby and saw him talking to a guy who looked about eighteen, my age. He had blood red eyes and brown half shaven hair. He wore a black hoodie and next to his plate he had a black mouth mask with a design that looked like sharp thin teeth.

The red eyed guy glanced over at me, and I realized that I had been staring. I quickly looked away.
Toby tapped on my shoulder and I looked back at him. He pointed to the guy with the red eyes. "Th-this is Max, by the way." I nodded and gave a small wave. It was nice to actually meet him since I've been hearing about him a lot. Max gave a small smile and stood up, holding his plate, to get some more food. "Oh y-yeah." Toby stood up to and motioned me to stand. "L-lets go get some food."
~Time Skip~
After everyone was seemingly done with their food, Slenderman appeared and asked everyone to stay seated for an announcement he'd like to give. I squirmed a bit in my seat knowing this is probably about me. "I would like to introduce everyone to the survivor of the explosion we've all been talking about." He gestured towards me. "(Y/n) would you please stand up." I really didn't want to, but I did anyways. I looked towards everyone at the table and gave a somewhat shy wave.
