Well, as I said before, Boston is one of our oldest historical cities. Slim has had all the time from back when Boston was a British Colony to now to root Himself in this city. The implications of his strong presence here are terrifying.
Slendy technically appeared on SA, I'm not too sure about all this precursor stuff that people mention. maybe other monsters sure, but that suit and tie hasn't been around since boston's founding....
Who said we wore the suit back then? Anyway, I'm not implying that He came over the Mayflower or anything. I'm just saying that it's possible that he's been in this particular city for a long time. How long? I don't know. A few decades. A century. A couple of years. My point when stating how old Boston is just that. There's basically no telling how long He's been infecting this city given how little we know of this creature's history. From H(a)unting and Reach's blog, we know he predated the SA forum.
Alternatively, He could also have a strong following that's taken root there and that's why He's so strong here. Or perhaps He's experimenting, Himself. I don't know, but I'm with N on this one. I'm getting out here instead of finding out and I don't recommend any other Runners showing up, either. Seriously, Runner, don't come to Boston. This is no new territory to Him.
Boston area has strong roots in the supernatural. Salem Witch Trials? A few miles north. Markings of Lovecraftian shit all over my hometown. Not to mention the rumor Boston is built on corpses. It's All dozed hills. Just saying that Boston is an old city and there is a lot of weird stuff going on around there.
I'm not infected, but if any runner needs a hot meal or a warm shower...No, you shouldn't come out here. Its mostly woods. But if any of you pass the Springfield area, I'll do what I can.
Good point. Boston has always been a weirdness magnet. Perhaps it is people's perceptions that it is a scary place with a lot of haunted history that makes Him so strong there.
But people who live there don't see it like that. Its a dirty city, sure, but its not fuckin Detroit. People love the city.
The other option is you guys are strengthening it with your presence. You guys are A-listers. That's gotta make him stronger around you guys.
Optional, less serious Theory: Boston holds the most weed smokers per capita of any city in the US. Strange but true. Perhaps that affects their ability to perceive the guy? :P
Crap is right. Get out of there as soon as you can.

ReplyDeleteI don't buy that. Something else is going on.
