See, Hoodie had done a lot of things. He’s dated a few woman, mainly when he was Brian— but this was a new… purpose for him.

Slenderman had grown interested in a teen, some 16 year old kid who lived with their mother, who was single. Slenderman, ever the careful and calculating ‘boss’ Hoodie obeyed him as, wanted to observe, or watch, the kid from the eyes of his puppets— so he consulted Hoodie.

Usually, Hoodie was the one who took care of stalking people, since he was good at it. And this time was no different.

So what did Hoodie have to do?

Taking his mask off and heading to the single moms bar, he wooed the kids mom, and one thing followed another before they were officially ’dating’. Hoodie moved in with the mom, and now he was able to… closely watch the kid.

The plan was simple— woo the mom, watch the kid, and if Slenderman gave the go ahead, he’d kill the mom and kidnapp the kid to take them to train to be a proxy.

Now, Hoodie, who did not have his mask on as usual since he had started this mission, was sitting in the living room, reading. It was Friday , and the mom had left for her Night Shift. Hoodie was going to try and get the kid to like him enough to trust him and open up. Perfect for emotional manipulation.

“Good morning”

He said in a gruff morning voice as the kid came downstairs.
