[filtered away from children kidnapped or otherwise, Slenderman, and anyone exploiting the situation]

[two pages are highlighted: #, and then #; the priest's voice is quiet and gentle]

...The entries currently unearthed skip from 23 to 28 with nothing yet in between. The last known plan the previous victims of 'Slenderman' had were to offer up a human... sacrifice. The end result was the safe return of at least one child -- Deema. There's also-- this.

[he shifts, where he's staring at the blood-soaked tree whose line creeps higher and higher every time he blinks -- or maybe it's his imagination. his mind playing tricks on him, at this point, is not at all beyond the scope of the realistic]

Time is... running out.

Do not worry Abel. I just simply have to turn it off. And I was created to be a Guardian, so I fight to protect. Otherwise it's a system error.

[He doesn't want you hurting yourself, you silly priest. He's not a complete jackass. TELL NO ONE]

No, the Queen Mary. Yes, Crowley. Don't you do anything stupid.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

No... we won't.

[he said he'd do everything he could, didn't he? ...he isn't trigger happy nor does he have a martyr complex like his wifey, but he isn't seeing many upsides in holding off, either. time is TICKING so quickly and they are putting the pieces of the puzzle together far too slow]

I promised.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

I did.

[tiredly gets to his feet, putting his hand on the tree to steady himself. He pauses, frowning and rests his hand more firmly]

..hm.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

[d'aww. he pats his head gently]

I think... you're a little more human than you give yourself credit for, Kite...

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

I don't remember Mary having so deep a voice, last we met...

[...lskjdf said sort of spacily. derp]

--Ah. ...Don't worry, alright? I'm only examining the options. [or lack thereof.]

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

...What is it?

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Not that I'm an expert, but I don't think it counts if you do it yourself. [...] Maybe I can help.

[azure-guardian.livejournal.com]

[he looks down at the blood coating his hands. this was his first time seeing blood and it's been seeping through his stitches for the past minute or so.]

Mmm...I am unsure. Need more da-- [he cuts himself off, remembering what the Fifth Doctor said.]

Maybe. That is all I can say for now.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

So did I.

[Damnit, Abel]

I said they wouldn't have to deal with this alone, and I meant it. I couldn't stop them from being taken, and damned if I'm going to let it end here.

But we don't know what will happen if we fill that tree up. That much hasn't changed.

Everything says it stores the kids until the tree is filled, and then it gorges itself. If you fill it up...if we fill it up... and it decides that's it? Can we really risk taking away what little time we have left?

_{[Welp, she's come to see the tree. Ideally, after evading one kidnapping attempt, she shouldn't, but.]}

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

...

[w... wait. did he hear that right? fljskdf]

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

[draws his hand back slowly, very pale and sweaty now]

Abel, are you... why are you here?

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

All the talk is contradictory!! None of it supports itself, except these diaries. The child returned. Returned! Safe, and sound, after talk of making the decision to sacrifice. They were happy--

[lkjsdf sob ;;] --What else is there? This is-- [torture, waiting ;;]

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

[curious... but lets it go, offering a tiny smile. it'll be okay ;;]

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

...

[tiny frown of perplexity-- and concern. bro, you're not looking so great]

...Are you alright, Peter...

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

[lmao all his plans are terrible;; He's already on his way to the tree, he'll just keep talking as he goes.]

I owe you one, right?

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

[oh, hello thar cute thang. :> Abel is sort of spacing at this tree, at the moment. would you care to join him?]

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

No, you're talking bollocks. It isn't an option, and if you try to take it, I'm going to break into your room and take everything.

And when she comes back, I'll tell Nanako that you eat puppies. On toast.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[flkjsdf b-bro, what is this even]

You don't... Spike, that's... [SJDLKJF is so... confused and also a little concerned. AREN'T YOU LIKE HALF-DEAD?? ...he can't ask you to do this, that's... insane and cruel flkjsdf]

[centiflora-x.livejournal.com]

_{[Sure! She's not the best at comforting people, since she's usually scolding or bossing them around, but ahhh walking up to him, s-sob.]}

... Abel-san?

LMFAO

[he smiles back and then looks at the tree, all business. the AI has had enough and was going to set the little bugger on fire when he finds him. but for now, the Azure Knight was going to get to work.]

I have tested and found that I cannot access the Azure Flame God or the Avatar Space. I am assuming that is because Slenderman would be completely unable to get inside, so somehow it is interfering with me. However, I can still use my fire, coffin, and basic Twin Blade abilites. It has removed a threat.

Abel, because of the filters, things have been kept away from me. Also, I do know that your attempt to get to the Dead Zone had failed. But what else is there?

B3

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

I'm not joking here, Abel.

[He's fed up of people he gives a damn about getting hurt or kidnapped or nearly dying. Enough is damn well enough]

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

[ah.

he fiddles with his glasses, before shaking his head]

...We're working on resolutions. Right now, progress is scattered... nothing is set in stone.
