Okay, okay. I’m sorry i didn’t post the lyrics online earlier. I keep getting mail asking for them, and i’m finally getting around to it. Sorry, won’t happen again. I’ll create a link up there in Librettos for future reference.
A Slenderman Musical
Act 1
The Abbey 1
Jordan:
Some things will come when you don’t see
Some things that are you won’t believe
and sometimes far away’s the best place you can be
And there out on the other side
Out where the dire and perverse fly
We are all waiting here for you to arrive
In the Abbey
Transcendation
Timothy:
It was a massive multiplayer GPS RPG
with an augmented reality paradigm distribution model STEAM
Sci-fi crowd sourced open narrative backstory and we
ran about, hung out, played the game and smoked some weed
…
Abed got the game was the first one to play
And showed us all how one late spring day
Soon every afternoon the five of us met
To play Transcend until sunset
When summertime came we played every day
Running round town with our phones in our face
Latices linked, game events unleashed
Beacons sparked, hunts embarked, racking up Prestige
James was the first to crash and burn
Dream from game he could not discern
First tics then shakes then wild eyed rage
He was pulled from school and then put away
We carried on though unbeknownst
We were playing without the app or our phones
Our brains rewried to see the game
Til something saw us and came one day
Redneck Greek Chorus:
Let your world just slip away
Tune inside and play the game
Timothy:
Transcenda… transcenda… trascendation Yeah
Infodump’s Youtube Video:
Hey, this is Infodump with 5 interesting things about the game Trancsendation:
Number 5: The hit game Transcendation, which has groups of players running all over towns across the world is said to be based on a combination of Enochian magick, chaos magick and Heka, an ancient Egyptian religion.
Number 4: The spooky mystical bits were brought in by the game’s main architect Jordan Lane who has been quoted as saying ritual magick is the hacking code of reality
Number 3: Even spookier, both she and the game’s other founder, Sean Foucault, who was also her lover, both disappeared under mysterious circumstances right around the release, some say testing game configurations.
Irina was the next of the five to get
The tic then sick then one day left
But right before dropping out of sight
She called me in the deep of night
She said something about the game
Something bout cracks and something came
Something thin and faceless dark
And of the five twas i he marked
Redneck Greek Chorus:
Let your world just slip away
Tune inside and play the game
Timothy:
Transcenda… transcenda… trascendation Yeah
…
Abed: We played all day, right?
Michelle: Yeah
Abed: But our phones re right here
Alison: Does anyone actually remember having their phone or pad at any point lately?
Michelle: You can’t play the game without your phone. You can’t play the game without the app. You guys are just being idiots and you’re fucking with my head
Alison: we need to stop
person 2: Aw come on, stop freaking out you’re all overeacting.
Alison: it’s too late
Michelle: it’s not too late
Abed : It is. I’ve seen the man. The one James saw
Michelle: James had a latent condition triggered by overstimulation of his…
Alison: Bullshit. There was nothing wrong with him
Michelle: He’s in the nuthouse!
Timothy: Guys. ‘Ben’s not kidding. I saw the thin man too.
Abed: Where’d you see him?
Timothy: (pause) He’s right there.
…
It gutted and sliced and sucked an ate
Flesh from bone and blood from brain
Like a spider on a mad and meth fueled drug
It took from me those that i love
I survived, i turned and ran
I never stopped, i never can
I left my home and all i know
The hunted down the moonlit road
Redneck Greek Chorus:
Let your world just slip away
Tune inside and play the game
Timothy:
Transcenda… transcenda… trascendation Yeah
Life On The Run
Timothy:
They taste each tear that you feel
The hounds let loose on your trail
The months and miles meander across the estranged and crooked maze i’ve fled
Across back end roads when jobs pay low ‘til it finds me once again
I might stay days or weeks somewhere. I might almost make a friend
For a few drink, for five minutes, til i’m down the road again
RGC:
All falls round as you go
Along the black mountain road
Timothy:
I see them on the streets sometimes, kids clustered ‘bout my own age
They laugh in packs and touch and kiss, and i yearn, but yearn in vain
Conversation coming harder as isolation stacks the miles
I forget now how to open up or how to make you smile
Or sit still withouth twitching, the tics that tremble track my tears
The seet curves of the moonlit road turn the weeks to months then years
RGC:
All falls round as you go
Along the black mountain road
Timothy:
Another sad motel room. In the stillness there i lay
I always know that it is coming so i listen and i wait
One more drink in one more bar, one more smoke in this stolen car
One more cup at one more stop, one more highway, one more truck
One more motel’s squeaking bed, one more town you painted red
One more girl across the street whose name you won’t know, you’ll never meet
They taste each tear that you feel
The hounds let loose on your trail
One more job that lasts a week. Nights on end you just don’t speak
People, lives you’ll never be, times of warmth you’ll never see
The Bar
Timothy:
Well now three years have come and gone since i’ve been here on the run
And one night this long, dark road leads to pocatello, Idaho
Round abouts it’s Friday night, it’s kind of hopping here with life
So despite myself i think i’ll go ahead and grab a drink
Some preacher on the street’s all whipped up in some kind of heat
Preacher:
Friends are you committed to the way of prayer? Without heavenly prayer you have nothing! Without heavenly prayer you will watch your world crumble, you will watch darkness come for you and all you love. Get on your knees now, tonight, this very moment and recite with me. Recite…
(Timothy enters bar)
Timothy:
Some whiskey sours that are heartburn cheap
the locals laugh and cuss and speak
and flirt and dance and down their drinks round me
I silent sit and soak it up
I listen watc and it’s enough
I catch her eye, loook down, but she walks up
I don’t know how to flirt or chat
Zoe:
Your name’s enough to start if you want
Timothy:
she says at last
Zoe:
It’s been awhile in this place since i’ve seen a brand new face
so maybe humor me a bit, i’ll grab a drink and have a sit
It’s zoe, nice to meet with you
i’m also far from home here too
i got stuck here when i tried awhile back to hitch a ride
Timothy:
And so we talk and smoke and sip our booze
I ask her if she’s trying to score
Zoe:
It’s not like that, i’m into girls.
Just sit back and relax we’ll catch a buzz and hang and chat
a little company if you don’t mind to help us leave our woes behind
Timothy:
The night goes nice and drinks pile fast
It’s been so long since i’ve opened up and
I wonder if i’ve made a friend at last
Chilling At The Motel 6
Timothy:
And so most nights she stops by
the Motel 6 where i’m holed up
we sit out front in two plastic chairs
that face the parking lot
the nights pass kind of pleasant
we drink some beer and smoke a pack
we talk bout where the hunted go
and when the run runs out at last
I lost my way to El Dorado
The winds my will has weathered down
I sometimes think that on the dusty road to nowhere
I’ll sit and sigh and lay my body down
I lost my way to El Dorado
The golden future where i belonged
Is there a moment, a day a week you know that
The destination you once dreamed is gone?
RGC:
The long road lays out til you’re empty
The long road lays you to the ground
Don’t you lay, don’t you lay yourself to memory
Don’t you lay your spirit down
Zoe:
I lost my way to El Dorado
I wandered dazed as in a dream
The bodies piled and the trials stained the miles
on a mpa it turns out i could never read
I lost my way to El Dorado
The girl once with me has collapsed
The ties that kept her all together are in tethers
and in the end she was all i ever had
RGC:
The long road lays out til you’re empty
The long road lays you to the ground
Don’t you lay, don’t you lay yourself to memory
Don’t you lay Don’t you lay your spirit down
Timothy:
I lost my way to El Dorado
The wind just blows across my back
Like a shadow cast that only seeks its body back
But as the miles grow more and more
I cannot picture any more
the warm sweet place for which i long
to ease my soul where i belong
the hope of home where all roads lead
i lost my way and now it’s gone to me
that promised land in which i once believed
The plans of mice and men
fool’s gold bravado
I lost my way to El Dorado
RGC:
The long road lays out til you’re empty
The long road lays you to the ground
Don’t you lay, don’t you lay yourself to memory
Don’t you lay Don’t you lay your spirit down
(Sounds of the Slenderman’s approach begin)
Timothy:
Uh oh…. Get out. Get out! We have to go now. Zoe! Come with me! Just come, we have to go NOW.
Zoe:
Are you breaking into a car?
Timothy:
Just get in. Trust me, we have to go.
On The Run Again
(Car speeds away. Car crashes.)
Zoe:
Timothy…. Timothy you don’t look so good
Timothy:
You’re not even hurt… Wha… what’s going…?
Zoe:
Timothy, we don’t have much time
Timothy:
How are you not hurt?
Zoe:
Shh. Sh.
Just listen, i need a little… favor…
Possession
Zoe:
I must possess you, I must crawl under your skin
access, ingress you, you must let me in
i must enter circumvent you , ride your body wear your skin
just open up, embrace me and let me dwell within
I’ve been working up to tell you but it seems we’re out of time
there’s a detail left unmentioned… I am not quite alive
All this time that we’ve been hanging to most it looks like you’re alone
only some can see me cause I’m afraid that i’m a ghost
Now please dont let it throw you all else ive said is true
and its long since i have had a friend, someone like you
But before you bleed on out here and the slender man arrives
if i can come crawl in there I’d really like to hitch a ride
I must possess you, I must crawl under your skin
access, ingress you, you must let me in
i must enter circumvent you , ride your body wear your skin
just open up, embrace me and let me dwell within
I have wandered for a while, looked so hard for one like you
that the tall thin man is hunting, I just want to come with too
When he catches you and frankly that’s a minute here from now
let me in, I’ll take the pain, go to sleep, just lay your spirit down
Now trust may be a small issue, leaving your body to my care
but i swear my reason’s worthy, I just need your skin to wear
I must find out where he takes you, where he goes on with his prey
I have hunted long the hunter, this chance may not come again
I must possess you, I must crawl under your skin
access, ingress you, you must let me in
i must enter circumvent you , ride your body wear your skin
just open up, embrace me and let me dwell within
I must possess you, access, ingress you
i must enter circumvent you ride your body wear your skin
just open up, embrace me and let me dwell within
Thank you. Listen, i’ll take really good care of your body. Okay let me just… get in here…. …… it’s coming…
Act 2
The Abbey 2
Jordan:
The time may come when you may see
places you may not believe
out beyond there where the wisest will not leave
And on the day that you arrive
out the world’s other side
we are here, the few, the mad, the watching eyes
The world’s walls are fragile things
The less you know the best youll be
but alas if one day you slip through and see
There’s an old and lonely place
between chaos and array,
the last outpost, wont you stop inside and stay?
Welcome To The Decadent Abbey
Jordan:
A cup of tea made from a late nights spring kiss
not the worst thing youll drink and it gives a nice lift
Relax, a deep breath, it’s a long way youve come
out the walls of the world to the vague lands beyond
Our plan went just perfetct, we’ve readied for years
to capture a slender man passing through here
and you were his prize, but youre safe with us, warm
in here the last post on reality’s shore
Residents:
The decadent abbey
The last midnight comes and goes past
and the cracks in the ballroom appear
The decadent abbey
The fool with his thumb in the hole
as the dark waters rise and grow near
Jordan:
This way, its a maze i know, please follow me
There’s wings where there’s things that you don’t need to see
The thin man’s quite scary perhaps you need, say,
a change of pants, you’d be far from the first, there’s no shame
If not you must come we’ve prepared a great feast
you should meet and should greet since it’s doubtful youll leave
Samuel will speak, just relax, you’ll adapt
though all those who come here eventually go mad
Residents:
The decadent abbey
The last midnight comes and goes past
and the cracks in the ballroom appear
The decadent abbey
The fool with his thumb in the hole
as the dark waters rise and grow near
Samuel:
For my mother, my sister and for you, Jordan
So much like them you are
to save you there’s no length too far i’d go
cast your burdens to the wind
open up and let me in
Raise a glass at last our mad and addled scheme has come to pass
Our half cocked sad and desperate plan, the snare that snags the slender man
This abbeys stood and held the cracks some thousand years, and all’ve gone mad
Alas, a thankless fruitless task until at last we’ve stricken back
The leash that holds the vile and wiley smiley man
The render bender when he catch you ends you Slender Man
The bonds that bind the boogie man, well if they can
drink a round now lads the snare that snags the slender man
The teeth that creep and slowly seep inside the walls and crawls and reeks
and hunts, from wicked this way comes and takes those who once we’ve loved
In all the time this abbey’s stood upon the walls of our fair world
and watch the things from outside come and only now we’ve snagged us one
The leash that holds the vile and wiley smiley man
The render bender when he catch you ends you Slender Man
The bonds that bind the boogie man, well if they can
drink a round now lads the snare that snags the slender man
Jordan:
the ugly things i feel
sometimes they’re all i think is real
and Sam i know you want to help in spite of myself
Samuel:
My dear welcome here it’s a pleasure
Zoe:
It’s a pleasure i guess
Samuel:
Our thanks to you all worked out quite for the best
The Order explained of your quest you’ll need find
the Librarians who can explain all in time
i see you’ve met Jordan she can show you your room
Jordan:
I can show you your room
Zoe:
That’d be nice, you can come anytime that you choose
Jordan:
Anytime? day or night?
Zoe:
Day or night. Although night has a nice charm…
Jordan:
Arent you the cheeky one
Samuel:
Excuse me now time for a toast, drink on up
Residents:
The decadent abbey
The last midnight comes and goes past
and the cracks in the ballroom appear
The decadent abbey
The fool with his thumb in the hole
as the dark waters rise and grow near
Zoe & Timothy 1
Zoe:
This place is like a maze, i can’t tell where is where
Tim:
Were you just hitting on that girl back there?
Zoe:
Yeah, of course why not? She was totally hot
Tim:
Dude, that’s my body that you’ve got
Zoe:
Yeah, i know, but, you know i’ve never had or wore one of these… dangly bits before. Come on, i have to try it out, see what the fuss is all about
Tim:
Dude, that my body
Zoe:
A guy’s body anywhere near my bed is not my first choice like i said but i have to make due with what i’ve got and if you were in my spot in a girl’s body, you know, wouldn’t you want to have a go?
Tim:
Wha…. aw come on. I haven’t been laid in like a year and i’m gonna have to sit right here and watch you get some in my body
Zoe:
Ooo, yeah, you’re gonna be watching the whole time. That’s.. kind of creepy. it’s not my thing the whole threesome with a guy fling
Tim:
But it’s my body!
Zoe:
On the other hand you might learn a few things
Tim:
OMG! What if she’s a lesbian?
Zoe:
I’m a lesbian, it’s great.
Tim:
No, you’re in my body
Zoe:
omg, for the first time i’m hoping a hot chick is straight
Tim:
It’s gonna kill me to watch me get laid and not be there
Zoe:
Well, okay, say, you wanna come out for a bit? in the middle, for like five minutes? Or is that too long, i hear things about guys and short mating spans
Tim:
Wa… pfshh, not i, that’s totally other guys. Although, if it’s the first time with a chick and lord knows it’s been awhile.. omg this conversation is so wrong
Zoe:
On so many levels. Here’s to going to hell
Tim:
This is isn’t hell it’s just a… weird place.
Zoe:
I am way more comfortable talking about getting laid then this weird shit.
Tim:
Aren’t you objectivfying…
Zoe:
look, it’s been a long time for me come on, just let me see, test drive a little trip, try out your ugly little dangly bit
Tim:
It is not little! And i want that five minutes!
Zoe:
You cannot blow it during your five minutes
Tim:
And you’re gonna have to learn how to list baseball players in my head
Zoe:
Where i’m from we don’t have baseball teams. We have Manchester United…
Tim:
I don’t even know what that means…
Jordan
Jordan:
I
So at last Slender Man eye to eye here we stand
Girl to beast, lash to teeth
With whip in hand i grasp you are mine at last
Let’s play game: do you feel pain?
And as i tear your flesh all bare what will i find down deep in there
Are those you snare in there somewhere?
As i excrete grief from the beast, if you cannot bring him back to me
At least you can scream for me
II
Back in the day, when all i did was make games…
The way Daddy’d say back in hazy days
I’m the princess in the tower he’d come to save
Alas life it plays sad and darker games
It was daddy who never came back one day
So i made games with more than faith the rules won’t break
It’s what the sad girl, mad girl did as she grew to a bad girl
Worlds i’d create and state the stakes by which you play
Became my vision, mission, maybe just a bit obsession
My teenage goth attire, coding, psych design
And the pile of occult books i’d aquirred
Soon Universities came to persue me
Game theorist savant they thought i’d be
A few years passed and then one day as undergrad
His smile grabbed me, had me, in love with him so very madly
Two sides the same we hid away, created games
And how we made them, played them, created the next generation
Basements deep beneath the gothic house that we
Bought and built a maze down underneath
To test out new game live, with friends at night til five
Transcendation, the creation, the game changer of our time
But while we tested things unholy came unrested
In our maze there, came here, something dark and sharp insane there
And my sweet Sean for whom i long for now he’s gone
The thing it flayed him, slayed him, i watched it while it stood and ate him
It tried to take me but i knew some spells to save me
That created a gate that led me to this Abbey’s basement
For years we’ve planned to catch us a Slender Man
And i’ll chastize him, defile him see if my Sean’s still inside him
III
And as i tear your flesh all bare what will i find down deep in there
Are those you snare in there somewhere?
As i excrete grief from the beast, if you cannot bring him back to me
At least you can scream for me
(whips the shit out of the Slenderman)
Entropy
Residents In The West Wing:
The bones that beat against their mere meat cages
They rot and plot and try arrays of escapes but
They fly from entropy to fantasia
Camped in a land between discord and arrangement
Whispers from corners that you dare not engage with
Fly me from entropy to fantasia
There’s no one here who’ll keep their reason from caving
We grow some things to make their transit less painful
Fly me from entropy to fantasia
One day the cracks in consciousness reave your psyche
And we’ll be here for you our prodigal junkie
Fly me from entropy to fantasia
Zoe & Timothy 2
Zoe:
That’s definitely messed up, they’re strung out on hard core drugs
Timothy:
I know, i would never..
Zoe:
But it’d be fun to spend a night getting wasted, a little messed up
Timothy:
Wait, what?
Zoe:
Nothing hard, just something fun, little mary and molly…
Timothy:
i gave that shit up back when i was on the run
Zoe:
Been awhile and then some since i caught a nice buzz
Timothy:
Oh my god you’re like the houseguest from hell
Zoe:
Well…
Timothy:
I loan and i mean loan you my body and all you want to do with it is get laid and get high?
Zoe:
And you are welcome
Timothy:
You’re gonna fry my brain and give me syphillus
Zoe:
Timothy, if anyone needs to get laid and catch a buzz it is you, son
Timothy:
I tried something on the run and got so paranoid and i was already high strung
Zoe:
I know about your suicidal thoughts
Timothy:
Wait, what?
Zoe:
And i’m serious on this one, you could use a little fun
Timothy:
We’re in an extra dimensional house of usher you think you can just find some guy named Snake and ask if we can score?
Zoe:
They’re smoking something in this palce, of that i am sure
Timothy:
You are not using my body to get wasted
Zoe:
You’ll be there too, it’ll be fun, two for the price of one!
Timothy:
My body will hate you when you’re done
Zoe:
Thank me more like
Timothy:
How come with all this weirdness, this whole messed up trip we just talk about sex and drugs?
Zoe:
Cause i am scared as shit
Samuel
Samuel:
For my mother, my sister, and for you, Jordan
Sing with me child as the day grows long and stardust fills your eyes
Sing with me child of the love enver lost, your mother’s lullabye
There’s langue it’s speaking, some terrible tongue
In this creature’s cries
I’ll crack its cant and peel its prose
Know what it says in time
I shall not rest, to see this creature up close, its skin, its marks..
(spoken: “Has someone been whipping this creature? Seriouslly, has someone been lashing this thing. This look like whip marks…”)
Sing with me child as the day grows long and stardust fills your eyes
Sing with me child of the love enver lost, your mother’s lullabye
Back a long bit, i was a child exorcist
Get back devil, won’t you get back down
Get back to the glory of the lord
Get down devil won’t you get down and out
Get back to the glory of the lord
I drove out the devil for the glory of the lord,
witness for the glory of the lord
At ten years old they’d come from miles around to see me
driving out the devil for the glory of the lord
Get back devil, won’t you get back down…
My mother was afflicted how the demons they would come
every few months and they’d take over her mind
I’d say “get out you devil!” all night long and she would cry
And i’d bring her back again into the light
Get back devil, won’t you get back down…
The demons kept returning to my mother i must tell
I was left to raise my sister by myself
Pastor Ken he warned me that the females of my blood
Were marked and plagued by satan there himself
“Get out you devil”, to my mama oh i cried
A witness for the glory of the lord
On stage the crowds adored me but night after night i sat
With my sister while my mama wept some more
Get back devil, won’t you get back down…
Adolescence changes us from the children who we were
I started seeing different aspects of the world
Mental illness was the struggle that mother had and well,
All the screaming, prancing i had done was not a help
She took her life one day never once aware
Of any type of treatment, medication, doctor’s care
I quite the church, i went to school and studied there
Neuroscience, embarked upon a well acclaimed career
But at career’s cusp my sister she fell ill
Same affliction as my mother and i used all my skill
To diagnose, to find a cure for what she had
But all my skill revealed that in fact, she was not mad
It was a demon that did plague my sister’s mind
Just like the pastor said, it hunted down my female line
So back to church and on to seminary too
A different set of skills to learn to see the long fight through
Get back devil, won’t you get back down
Get back to the glory of the lord
Get down devil won’t you get down and out
Get back to the glory of the lord
The Holy Sacred Order Of The Bleeding Rose i joined
Which hunts these horrors all across the land
They taught me of the veil that leads beyond the world
And the Abbey and the dusk on which it stands
And when my sister took her life
And nothing else was left for me in the world any more
I offered to come over
To help the Abbey run
This place of no return who breaks all who come
The Librarians
The Residents:
Falling round the falling round the falling round the fringe
Losing what you thought you knew but never really did
Falling round the falling round the falling round the fringe
Peeling back the layers that were placed there inch by inch
Samuel:
A banshee’s dream, for days it seems
I listen to your screams and think
I poke and pry to find out what they mean
I’ve lost some sleep but i believe
The secret’s near and soon we’ll see
What lies beneath the banshee’s dream
The Residents:
Falling round the falling round the falling round the fringe…
Jordan:
A banshee’s dream, for days it seems
I listen to your screams and think
I try to find out where my sweet might be
I’ve lost some sleep but i believe
He’s in there now so close to me
A sweet caress of flesh is all he needs
(has sex with the bound Slenderman)
Timothy:
I think we’re finally here
Zoe:
Good, cause i can’t walk anymore
Timothy:
Well it says library
Zoe:
Go on then, open the door
The Librarians:
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians are teddy bears
In rat suits are librarians now quiet, quiet please
Our books are never dwindling we have some from the beginning
Which is sooner than you’re thinking from your bubble bubble Ohm
Books from Alexandria, Xianyang palace are here with us
And tell your truthful genesis which you have all forgot
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians…
This Abbey’s on the Bubble, it’s the Bubble keeps out trouble
And inside your species snuggles, snuggle, buggle, hum, Ohm
The universe that you observe is just a backdrop, a game world
A closed system that you’re curled in, in your Bubble Bubble Ohm
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians…
On your Bubble’s back this Abbey stands and minds the cracks
Creates prayers and sends them back for your species to recite
These prayers, audio vibrations, keep the Bubble seal complacent
Assuming enough people say them. So say your prayers tonight
Don’t worry bout the meaning, it’s the syllables you’re speaking
That keep your Bubble from leaking, Baruch Atoh, Our Father, Hari… Ohm
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians…
The fog outside this abbey leads to the true reality
from whence these creatures come. Zoe, we know of what you seek.
The proximity of the Slenderman inside is degenerating your minds
Faster than the normal time it takes to make your psyches seep
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians…
The Time At Last
Samuel:
I almost see, i’ve peeled beneath
the droning tones, know what they mean
Oh Jordan, if you just were here with me
Its cries i’ve saved upon this tape
and backwards half speed i will play it,
somewhere here some meaning it must lay
(Plays tape of Slenderman’s voice. Hears it singing his mother’s lullabye)
AH!
Zoe:
When the sense you make is crumbling
And goddamn freaking teddy bears you see
And they warn you that this place
And all inside are going insane
The time at last has come to leave
Jordan:
As i caress and ride your flesh
And search beneath the reek and press
Upon your dark and festered chest…
Samuel:
Jordan, it is i, i fear i’m losing here my mind
Dear god, what are you doing?
What are you doing with that thing?
Jordan:
I must possess him, i must crawl under his skin
Access, ingress him
Samuel:
Let me too come in
I will enter and ascend you, Flesh to flesh and skin to skin
Open up, embrace me
Jordan:
Come to us, come on in
Jordan:
As i caress and ride your flesh Oh
Upon your festered chest And search beneath the reeking mess Oh
Where loves lays bound surpressed As i caress Oh
Your flesh and search beneath Oh
Where is my love Oh
You hide so deep Oh Where is Oh
My love Oh
You hide Oh
So deep Oh
So lost Oooooooh
Samuel:
The song i heard my mother sing My sister too while Oh
I sang to her while she lay dying and you are them right Oh
Jordan, sister, oh
Let me hear my sister speak Oh
On my flesh you comfort Oh
Come and comfort me Oh
Jordan Oh
Mother Oh
Sister Oh
Jordan oooooooooh
Zoe:
Omg, what are you doing? Jesus that’s disgusting. Oh no, no
Timothy:
Zoe, what are we going to do?
Zoe:
We’re bloody leaving here right now
Timothy:
Not to get too hung up on details, but how?
Zoe:
The same way we came in Timothy: You don’t mean the murder monster?
Zoe:
Of course, but this time we ride the bastard like a horse. Brace yourself, we’re getting on, we’re heading out into the fog
Away, away from out the madness
Away, to find the girl from out the blackness
RGC:
When the last call rings in silence
the patrons passed out in the streer
The god of wine arrives and crucifies all those inside
the time at last has come to leave
When your lover’s burnt the bedroom
When the children show their teeth
and paint upon each door a mark in blood you know not what for
the time has come to leave
When the black boots close the borders
The shop girls eye you hungrily
and the huntsmen come and only you without a gun
the time has come to leave
(Zoe/Timothy ride the Slenderman through the Abbey, smash through a window and fly into the Fog Beyond.)
Act 3
Beyond The Fog
Mother:
Singe with me child as the day grows long
And stardust fills your eyes
Sing with me child of the love never lost
Your mother’s lullabye
Timothy:
I thought the teddy bears said this was the true reality
Zoe:
Well apparently true reality sucks
…
Zoe:
timothy… i’m not doing so fine… i’m not sure i can keep it together…
T: ok, maybe just close your eyes. This is… hey you ever read Lovecraft?
Zoe:
No, isn’t he some racist nerd author?
Timothy:
Woah, dude, he’s like an early 20th century horror master
Zoe:
Oh god no. You have to read Anne of Green Gables.
Timothy:
What a gable?
Zoe:
It’s like a… don’t ask. But she’s awesome. She’s like a badass but in this totally subtle victorian way.
Timothy:
Lovecraft’s monsters are badass, i’d say.
Zoe:
This is like, real people with real problems
Timothy:
I’d point out supernatural death monsters are a very real problem for us.
Zoe:
Point taken. But which story would you rather be in right now, lovecraft or anne of green gables?
Timothy:
Yeah, okay. I am down with gables. So for…
Zoe:
I think that’s the thing we’re headed towards.
Mother’s House
RGC:
After all the lonesome miles
You have fled in desperate bounds
Just like she swore you will come crawling back once more
Welcome home to mother’s house
Scraps of meat lay in the hallway
The beast you hunted hunts you now
Who shall be prey today and other lovely games we’ll play
Welcome home to mother’s house
It’s a maze of meat and shadows
Where things that smile and crawl hang out
Though long ago you left we’re oh so gald you’re back again
It’s the mind of smethng monstrous
You were an idea that got out
We hope you had your day we trust you’ve come back now to stay
Welcome home to mother’s house
Mother:
After all the lonesome miles
You have fled in desperate bounds
Just like i swore you have come crawling back once more
Welcome home to mother’s house
Inside The House
(Zoe/Timothy trudge through the bizarre place)
Zoe:
(humming)
Timothy:
What are you doing?
Zoe:
I’m reciting this… it’s kind of like a chant.
Timothy:
Why?
Zoe:
I had to memorize it some time back.
Timothy:
why did you have to memorize it?
Zoe:
I have instructions. They’re a bit bizarre. If i ever got this far.
Timothy:
Do you actually know where we are?
Zoe:
Not exactly, but they told me a little bit some time back… HEY!
Timothy:
What?
Zoe:
The Slender Man just grabbed my ass
Timothy:
Oh, Nasty! You know, after that little… threesome we saw back there
Zoe:
Don’t remind me
Timothy:
well thank goodness you never slept that jordan chick. I mean i swear can you believe she was doing it with the slender man and samuel?
Zoe:
Timothy! Tell me you are not slut shaming. Not cool.
Timothy:
WHAT!?!
Zoe:
she’s a right to bed anyone she wants not be judged
Timothy:
but it’s a death creature from hell
Zoe:
so was my first girlfriend. What, you’ve never had one?
Timothy:
well,. it’s been three years since i even..
Zoe:
Slut shaming, totally not cool.. (Slender man grabs ass again) HEY Stop it!
Timothy:
I think he has taste now for sex. He wants to hump you.
Zoe:
Hump ME? You mean hump YOU. This is YOUR body
Timothy:
Oh NOW it’s my body
Zoe:
you can definitely get your five minutes now, you’re free and clear..
Timothy:
Shit.
Zoe:
i think we’re here…
(Enters Mother’s Room)
Timothy:
Jesus Christ what is that thing? It’s like.. some amorphous mass..
Zoe:
It looks like a pile of meat vomit
Mother:
Well well. What do we have here?
One of my children… How interesting.
Little ghost, how did you get here?
Let me see your memories, little ghost. How did you just walk into my house?
Zoe
Zoe:
It came in crashing and the thrashing
And i smashed the blender
where we made our smoothies right into its screaming face
And though it killed me it fled and left
My Reina there still standing
But her daughter Claire it grabbed and took away
Reina, i loved her and her daughter Claire
She had while back in high school
With some loser when she still hoped she was straight
I never quite believed when Claire there was something
Tall and haunted in the house
But Reina sought help right away
She was all that i’d adored
I loved her but i failed her more
I left my heart and a few things more
Pooled in a puddle on the kitchen floor
All i loved in this life and more
I left my heart on the kitchen floor
Reina went through priests and pastors
Til we sat down with some monks
The Sacred Order of the Bleeding Rose one day
And they agreed that Claire was hunted
but they gave me some jade necklace
and said i was key to some end game they played
And so i died and Claire was gone
And i watched Reiana slip
Into a deep depression in a ward she checked one day
And though a ghost the Order
sure enough could see me
Told me Claire still lived but had been taken someplace far away
She was all that i’d adored
I loved her but i failed her more
I left my heart and a few things more
Pooled in a puddle on the kitchen floor
All i loved in this life and more
I left my heart on the kitchen floor
I know the truth
That it was me who brought this down
I brought that quiji board to claire and we played on that late spring day
Some people say they’ll go to
hell and back to save you
Well i will and i’ll see Reina smile once again some day
She was all that i’d adored
I loved her but i failed her more
I left my heart and a few things more
Pooled in a puddle on the kitchen floor
All i loved in this life and more
I left my heart on the kitchen floor
I left my heart, some limbs and more
I wandered out through walls and doors
I loved her but i failed her more
I left my heart on the kitchen floor
Timothy & Samuel
Samuel:
Zoe can you hear me?
Timothy:
Samuel, is that you?
Samuel:
Who is this? Where’s Zoe?
Timothy:
This is Tim. It’s my body Zoe’s used.
How are you in my head? Oh, it was that chant
Sam: Yes.
Timothy:
Are you okay? We saw you with the Slender Man…
Samuel:
We don’t need to ever speak of that again.
Timothy:
Right. You’re okay, then?
Samuel:
It was two weeks ago, i’m fine.
Timothy:
Two weeks?! It’s been a couple hours
Samuel:
Ah, yes. Time…
time between veils is not quite in sync.
Where’s Zoe?
Timothy:
she’s telling her story to this big ugly thing
Samuel:
Are you actually in front of it?
Timothy:
Yeah.
Samuel:
And it hasn’t eaten you yet?
Timothy:
No. What do you mean yet?
Samuel:
Brilliant! Don’t close this astral link
Timothy:
I don’t even undestand what that means…
Oh hang on, the ugly thing is gonna speak
Mother
Mother:
Come and kiss your mother
It’s been a long time come
Since your species up and left me
Ah, but i don’t hold a grudge
My sweets, i am the mother
Of all of your sad kind
I birthed you, what dark, frightful games
We played once you and i
This is my Red Realm
Here i am Queen
though i have siblings
i doubt you’ll ever meet
and they have their Realms
we rarely speak that much
though sometimes we mate, afterwards
we try to eat each other up
…
A very special brother
We copulated once
Your species was the result
The smartest i have spawned
You lived with me millenium
Such sweet games we played
The hunt, the blood, the double cross
The psychodrama escapades
But one day you escaped me
I know that you had help
You all fled and in that cursed
Bubble you’ve since dwelled
My other little monsters
They’re dear to me too
But they can’t play my games with me
Half as good as you
…
So i send youor siblings
Like my tall and slender son
To squirm into that bubble
And bring you back here one by one
You’ve come for sweet old Claire
Who arrived just yesterday
And i’ve not played with nor have eaten her
So i suggest a game
None of you have simply
Walked back into my house
Little ghost and little man
You are something else
Play a game with me my seets
We’ll have a lovely time
You win, you take the girl and go
You lose and you are mine
…
One at a time…. Who’s first? Who’s first, my sweets?
Show respect to Mother
Come kiss me on the mouth
Your life i made, it’s mine to take
When suppertime comes round
Show repsect to Mother
You naughty little sweets,
Now you’ve come home to hang your bones
And snuggle up with me
Show some respect
Respect to mother
Come grovel at my feet
Beg and pleed
Stay my sweets
And play my games with me
Zoe & Timothy 3
Timothy:
i must play the dark cruel game
i must run the deadly maze
but you must step aside
please you must be who survives
i can face if its my day
i’ve run a good and well fought race
and you im glad i’ve known
it was good to not be all alone
I’d have never made it through
I’d have never made it through
alone
I hope we live some years from now
with some nice girls in some nice town
and you and i have homes and lives
and on friday nights
In some bar we always meet
have some drinks and luaghs and see
we’re still friends down the road
we have our backs we’re not alone
I’d have never made it through
I’d have never made it through
Alone
Zoe:
I’m glad you’re with me too
I never would have made it through
And i would love your dream
To all come true, but don’t you see…
I was dead when we first met
There’s no life for me here when
This ends it’s only you
Who has a future to run to
I’d have never made it through
I’d have never made it through
Alone
Timothy:
but i’m the gamer and here’s a game
i’m the best chance we can save
the girl you’ve come here to atone
and bring back home
i can face if its my day
i’ve run a good and well fought race
and you im glad i’ve known
it was good to not be all alone
The Hunt
Mother:
What game shall we play today?
Oh, i know. It’s variation of The Hunt, called Survive An Hour.
Time to begin my sweet. Ready, set, go.
…
(Timothy runs. The hunt is on.)
Samuel:
Timothy it’s Samuel
Zoe:
Samuel, you’re all right!
Samuel:
Zoe!
Timothy:
This is not a good time to use my head a chat room
Samuel:
I’m calling to help. I’ve got Jordan here.
Timothy,
wait, how many people are in my head?
Samuel:
Listen, we heard everything. We’re going to try to come up with a plan but i need to contact the rest of the Order.
T:
They better not all show up in my brain too
Samuel:
We’ll get back to you tomorrow
T:
Tomorrow?!?
Samuel:
Five minutes. Five minutes your time.
Mother & RGC:
Peek a boo, well i see you
Where’s my naughty cub?
This little piggy went to town
and i could eat him up
I catch you yet and suck your flesh
Your bones will pick my teeth
Little piggy, mama comes
comes for you, my sweet
Samuel:
Tim?
Timothy:
Oh good. Please tell me there’s a plan.
Samuel:
There’s a plan.
Timothy:
What’s the plan?
Samuel:
Don’t die.
Timothy:
That’s the plan?!
Samuel:
it’s a good plan. Don’t screw it up.
Timothy:
You can’t be serious.
Samuel:
No, we really do have a good plan, but it all hangs on Jordan. She’s going to need.. awhile.
Timothy:
I don’t have awhile, man. This thing is hunting me
Samuel:
Jordan can do it in about 10 days. It’ll come close to the end of the hour you’ve got. We can do. Just stay alive.
Mother & RGC:
Peek a boo, well i see you
Where’s my naughty cub?
This little piggy went to town
and i could eat him up
I catch you yet and suck your flesh
Your bones will pick my teeth
Little piggy, mama comes
comes for you, my sweet
Zoe:
What’s happening? T: The Slender Man caught me. He’s right on top of me. He’s.. smelling me.. and… rubbing himself on me
Zoe:
He might be trying to decide whether to eat you or hump you
Timothy:
What do i do?
Zoe:
You might want to try… rubbing his crotch with your hand
Timothy:
WHAT?
Samuel:
No, it’s a good idea. He’s confused. He can’t decide if people are for eating or mating.
Zoe:
Timothy, just… pleasure him.
Timothy:
Pleasure him?!
Zoe:
Yeah, just bite the bullet
Timothy:
You know, if the circumstances were reversed, if we were in your body and i was telling you to do the exact same thing it would be totally over the line
Zoe:
I know, but… if it were life and death…
Timothy:
I can’t do it
Zoe:
Timothy…
Timothy:
No, i… i CAN’T do it
Samuel:
I’ll do it. I have a certain responsibility and.. i’ve done it before
Zoe:
You did a whole lot more than this…
Samuel:
Can we not… do this right now? Just give me control of your body, i’ll take over, i’ll do it
………
Samuel:
All right, here’s your body back
Timothy:
I think i’m gonna be sick
Zoe:
Just get out of there, just keep going
Samuel:
Jordan is almost finished. We’re almost done. All you have to do is stay alive a couple more minutes…
Timothy:
Oh shit
Mother & RGC:
Little sow i found you now
the game’s come to a heat
i suck you dry my cherry pie
give mama what she needs
you’ve lost the gig now little pig
i slurp and lick you up
you’ve come now then to your end
give mama what she’s won
Mother:
Little ghost don’t fret there’s no
way he was gonna leave
If he’d have won i’d still have gone
and eaten him you see
I lied, a bad habit that i’ve got
I’m working on it
No i’m not
First i suck his soul away
then your turn to play my games
Return Of The Librarians
Timothy:
Why’d she stop?
Is that the teddy bears?
Zoe:
Oh i HATE the teddy bears
Timothy:
Omg, i LOVE the teddy bears
Zoe:
What are they dragging behind them?
Timothy:
It’s cable. They’re dragging cable.
Librarians:
Greetings maternal mass, we come here bearing gifts unasked for
but your former children have quite the solution you may seek
You want to play somes games with your dear human children, say
we’ve got one millions of them play, you too can be a gamer geek
This game called Transcendation, it’s addictive and engaging
you can sit and always play it, Jordan’s reworked it a bit
Millions will play against you, you’ll need never yearn to send through
any more monsters to tend to the abductions, kills and hits
We’ve install this in your home, and you will leave the earth alone
and let these few poor poeple go, the slender man can take them home
Rats in teddy bear suits are librarians are teddy bears
In rat suits are librarians now quiet, quiet please
We see a lot, we do. Oh dear listener we see you
and we’ve very pleasant news: timothy, zoe and claire
ride the slender man on back to the earth and we will catch up
with them, finish out the act after this little interlude
Infodump’s Youtube Video:
Number 2: Transcendation 2.0 introduced the world to the most advanced and popular game AI of all time. Winning multiple awards, the AI, Mother, brilliantly executed and notoriously tough to beat, will even hold IM conversations with people as they play which many argue are actually being written by live people, staffed by the game to interact with the players.
Number 1: An entire fandom culture has formed around Trancendation’s AI, Mother, with some of the craziest cosplay costumes ever. Some really out there fans insist the AI is real and swear spooky, occult methods can be utilized to actually meet this character, and there are even a few missing persons cases involving die hard fans.
Zoe & Timothy 4
Timothy:
We finally arrived, is this gonna be goodbye?
Z: I have to get Claire back and today’s a perfect time
Timothy:
what do we do about the slender man?
Zoe:
He doesn’t seem to want to murder people like he did beforehand
Timothy:
No he just wants to have sex with everyone
Zoe:
Which is a lot better.
Timothy:
So we just let some ugly oversexed creature loose unsupervised?
Zoe:
Men have been left unsupervised for quite some time
Timothy:
Ha ha. We really would be letting a hyper aggressive supernatural lust… we’d basically be letting a rape monster run around
Zoe:
Think of him like an animal and train him. Maybe you could use electro shock until he’s docile
Timothy:
So i’d be wandering the land, a boy and his pet slender man?
Zoe:
It’s kind of picturesque… look, i really gotta fly.I gotta get Claire home and it’s important that it’s today
Timothy:
All right i’ll manage
Zoe:
Are you gonna be okay?
Timothy:
Yeah
Zoe:
You can get the order to help you train him or something
Timothy:
Or something. Don’t worry i got this.
Zoe:
Okay. Listen, Timothy, i’m serious, you’re one of the fniest human beings i’ve ever known and i promise to look you up before …you know, i go
Timothy:
Okay. You’re awesome, Zoe.
Zoe:
Remember, girlfriends, homes and friday night beer
Timothy:
You can find me right here.
Zoe:
Take care
T: Looks like it’s you and me, Slendy. I gotta plan. Hey, hey look… look over there… no, right there. You see that? Right over there? Yeah that thing….
(Shoots the Slenderman in the head. )
Timothy:
Yeah, fuck you. I’m getting a good night’s sleep for once.
Happy Birthday, Love Zoe
(Zoe walks into the Psych Ward where Reina has been for the last several years)
Zoe:
I know your heart was torn away
so lost you fell apart that day
and i know you can’t hear me say
I’ve gone across a distant sea
so far away, searched and retrieved
I brought her back for you you see
Happy birthday
It was all that i could do
Happy birthday
From me to you
You just see nothing now i know
You think you’re simply all alone,
sitting here so quietly
But the one who loves you yet
has returned from far off with
that long lost heart for which you weep
Happy birthday
It was all that i could do
Happy birthday
From me to you
I know you sit here unaware
that i’m beside you now right here
cheek to cheek and face to face
I guess i just came by this once
to bring back to you what you loved
Maybe you’ll smile again one day
Happy birthday
It was all that i could do
Happy birthday
From me to you
Happy birthday
There’ nothing for you i’d not do
Happy birthday
from me to you
