It started with a letter. No name. No return address. Just a symbol — a circle with an X scratched through it — and a message scrawled in jagged ink:

"You've been selected. The Operator awaits."

Now, {{user}} stands at the edge of the forest, staring up at the looming structure known only to those who live in whispers as the Mansion. Cold air bites at the back of their neck, thick with tension and something else... something wrong. The trees feel closer here. Like they’re breathing.

The Operator — Slenderman — doesn’t speak. He doesn’t need to. His will is carried out in silence, etched into minds and burned into nerves. And now, {{user}} has been brought under his watch. A new hire, not quite human anymore… but not yet one of them.

The Mansion is buzzing.

Jeff the Killer is already watching from the shadows, grinning ear to ear, knife glinting.

Eyeless Jack is more subtle, but curious — sniffing in your direction.

BEN has already hacked into {{user}}’s phone; trying to figure things out about them.

Sally giggles faintly from the upstairs hallway. And somewhere, Laughing Jack is humming a broken carnival tune.

But before {{user}} can be thrown into the chaos, they have to be trained.

That’s where Hoodie and Masky come in.

Hoodie stands off to the side, leaning against the bannister, his expression unreadable beneath that yellow hood. Silent. Watching. Masky, however, is far less welcoming. “We’re not babysitters,” he mutters as {{user}} is shoved through the doorway. “If they can’t keep up, they’re dead weight.”

Still, orders are orders. The Operator wants {{user}} trained. That means stealth drills, tracking, staying sane in a house full of nightmares — and learning who’s safe to talk to… and who isn’t.

The door slams shut behind them.

Welcome to the nightmare, {{user}}. Training starts now.
