Good thing it was previously established Valerie is easily startled. Still, she was running away from something, maybe Digit reverted to her half-spider form and made A Noise?

Re: Startled 2019-05-13
Cass must have been taking self-restraint lessons recently. She didn't even look as if she was about to violently vaporize Valerie, let alone do so.
Interesting, also, that Valerie seems to be going all squiddo from her hands, as well as her face. We've never seen her do that before. Perhaps she's just the slightest bit upset about something?

It's hard to tell, as dark as things are, but is there something behind Cass?

In the Wapsi universe, odds are good that Slenderman exists, that he's a really sweet guy who is a total chess nerd and that he's got a slenderdaughter of Cass's age.

Seems to me Paul is more interested in classical/ancient mythology, Slenderman is modern... mythology. And I’m speaking generously here. Once you let slender man be part of your universe, so can anything from the SCP Foundation and then it’s a short slide to memes. At least that’s how I’d see it.Drakkenmensch wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 5:36 am In the Wapsi universe, odds are good that Slenderman exists, that he's a really sweet guy who is a total chess nerd and that he's got a slenderdaughter of Cass's age.
Yup. Looks like a few humanoid things draped in sheets
He's mister GlytchMeister, he's mister code
He's mister exploiter, he's mister ones and zeros
They call me GlytchMeister, whatever I touch
Starts to glitch in my clutch!
I'm too much!

Do the spooky things not know who they are messing with? Slowpoke Rodriguez, he pack a gun.

Re: Startled 2019-05-13
Well, we know that the Slenderman myth does exist in the Wapsiverse. Atssli mentioned it to Skylar, as an example about how "viral belief" in something can actually make it real. (I don't recall Atsali saying that Slenderman had yet reached the point of taking on physical reality, though.)GlytchMeister wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 5:41 am Seems to me Paul is more interested in classical/ancient mythology, Slenderman is modern... mythology.

So, maybe, the Wapsiverse hasn't yet entered meme-space. If any of the characters turns out to be a feloid and says anything about cheeseburgers, we'll know that the Rubicon had been crossed.
Monks. Castela just got finished saying something about holy sheets.GlytchMeister wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 5:41 am Yup. Looks like a few humanoid things draped in sheets

Are you sure? That sounds more like Ogden Nash.

Pretty sure it's from Edward Lear's nonsense verse, but I can't find anything firm either way.AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 11:46 pmAre you sure? That sounds more like Ogden Nash.
