In The Screaming Tower

In the Screaming Tower, it's rather hard to hear someone scream...wouldn't you agree?

Short Update

Hello everyone, it's Cat.
I wish I could explain what's going on, but I don't have the time. All I can say is; we'll find him and get him back.
I'll make a longer post once everything's blown over.

Insert Fitting Title Here?

Hello ladies and germs, my name is Cynthia. Some of you know me as The Sleepwalker. Danny is a little....funky, and has been ever since he visited his now ex-girlfriend. So I'm writing this in his stead!
So he went to some weird place named The Valley of Song, with me in tow. I saw a lot of Choir Members there, and they kind of spooked me out a bit. I hung really close to Danny, but he smiled and told me not to worry, they wouldn't hurt me. I was on his side, and he was on their side. I almost followed that logic. Sort of. Anyways, he continued through the Valley of Song, looking for the house of Elise Murray. We were looking around, high and low. There were so many houses! More than New York, but they weren't tall like New York. There were people in business suits everywhere, talking on cell phones and holding briefcases and buying hotdogs. Why in the world would there be so many hotdog stands in one place?
Eventually, we found her house, and Danny went inside. I waited outside, and bought a hotdog. It was delicious. I had ketchup and mustard and relish with it, and I bought a Coca-Cola to go with it! It was nice and cold. Even though it was winter, I was hot in pants and a t-shirt. I don't know how the business people stood it.
An hour passed, and I decided to go inside to see if they had made up. When I got inside, what I saw.......was not the case. There was a man next to Elise, and it looked like they were dating. Danny looked glanced at me, and I knew the look. It was a very angry one. I could feel his rage from where I was standing, a good distance away.
In one swift motion, Danny lunged forward with his knife, and stabbed the man next to Elise 26 times, letting him fall to the ground. Elise screamed some sort of curse in Choir-speak, which is a really spooky language Grayskins use to talk, and formed a shotgun in her left hand, and blasted Danny right in the stomach. He staggered backwards, and I ran to help him. Elise was screaming loudly, firing her shotgun wildly, pumping a few blasts at me. Luckily, they didn't hurt me.
I dragged him out of the Valley of Song, and called Sol. Or at least that's what Danny, only half-awake, told me to do. So I called him, and he came in his truck. We got him to an Oathbreaker's clinic quickly enough for them to be able to save him. According to Sol, The Wooden Girl has a deal with The Plague Doctor. The Oathbreakers patch up the Dolls, and the Dolls don't "frick their shiz up." As Sol put it.
After we got back to the Tower, The Choir issued a statement declaring war upon The Wooden Girl. Apparently Danny killed one of their higher-ups, and that was bad.
The Wooden Girl was surprisingly calm. She said she needed to talk to him in her room. Upon going in their, I heard Danny scream for a couple minutes, then he came out, trembling it. He said he didn't want to talk about it.
He's been pretty depressed for a while, and it wasn't until today that he finally cheered up a bit. He still didn't feel like writing this though, so I wrote it for him!
Anyways, Cat went into his room, where I spend most of my time, and gave him a box of chocolates. He didn't open it then, though, something about "Cat being allergic to it" or something. Long story short, they're now a couple. Danny and Cat are dating now. They're sleeping together right now, and I notice Cat's tail is coiled around Danny's arm. It's kind of cute.
Oh by the way, an Archivist stopped by today and gave a list of current alliances to The Wooden Girl, and it's been passed around since. I'm pretty sure you all know it fairly well by now, but I'll put it up anyways.

The Blind Man and The Wooden Girl
The Archangel, The Choir, The Rake, and The Vision
The Plague Doctor and The Slender Man
The Convocation, EAT, and The Intrusion
The Deep and DEVOUR (There's a scary one)
The Cold Boy, The Mother of Snakes, and The Unnamed Child
Jack Of All, The Pandorean Jar, and The Unbounded Face (I have no idea who any of them are...)

And now I'm gonna go back to listening to Eminem. I love his music. "Just Lose It" is my favorite! Any one else like Eminem?

More Important Problems

So we were hanging out, trying to figure out what to do about The Eye, when Sol burst into the room. He said one thing. "DUDE THERE'S AN OCEAN IN THE EMPTY CITY!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Suddenly my mind was racing. What kind of trickery was this?
I went outside, and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Eventually everyone got outside, and then we began a caravan of cars, everyone piling in to whatever cars were being driven. My car had myself, The Sleepwalker (Who's been hanging around much in the same manner Elise used to), and three dolls I don't know of. Sol leading us in his pickup with a very pissed-off looking Mistress, her brows knotted and scowling, despite the painted grin on her face.....you'd have to see it to believe it.
We drove Six and Seven blocks, and the buildings shifted to reveal a parking lot. Across the street was The Blind Man and his troupe of Archivists, most of them wearing the traditional robes or overly-geeky T-shirts for bad movies like "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" or "Con-Air." We got out, and The Blind Man immediately spoke with Mistress. He told us to go a couple blocks down the road. And so we did, and we were shocked by what we saw.
The City just...dropped off into water. Stretching infinitely to the left and right and onwards. Looking down proved nothing. Just endlessly deep. A loud rumbling came from behind us, and suddenly, a crane holding a ball with windows in it rolled up.
"What the hell is that?" I heard one of the dolls ask.
"That is a submarine. Except it's connected to a sturdy 10-feet-thick cable. Basically, what we want to do is send a couple people in the craft down into the ocean, down 1000 feet or until the bottom, see what they can, and come back, and report their findings." The Blind Man explained. "Now, any volunteers?"
Mistress spoke up. "I volunteer Daniel Thompson. He's the closest thing we have to an intelligence department, or at least someone who's not one of the shmucks from retardation row." She waved her hand at Sol and the others.
"I'll go." I said, not having much choice in the matter.
"I'll go too! To where will I go?" The Sleepwalker responded, though I knew what she was talking about.
So we were to go with a archivist named Jensen or something like that.
"Not so fast!" a feminine voice yelled. We all turned to see a female with an skin-tight leather bodysuit with a gas mask. Holy shit did she have some curves. Anyways, she was obviously a timberwolf, and we all took our weapons out simultaneously. "Hold up. Father is just as worried about this bullshit as you all are. So I'm coming with you."
"But...the capsule can only three people." The Blind Man responded.
"So I'm kicking one of you fuckers out." She looked us over. "Hey, Psycho Bitch, beat it." She pointed to The Sleepwalker. Her response was a very.....enthusiastic version of "Under The Sea" from The Little Mermaid. Maybe it was a mistake to marathon disney movies with her...
The timberwolf pulled out her gun and cocked it. The response was thousands of swords unsheathing and hundreds of guns cocking. She backed off after that.
So, finally, with all the excuses and formalities out of the way, we boarded the capsule.
"Let's hope the pressure doesn't crush the capsule and kill you." The Blind Man grinned and closed the capsule.
As we were lowered into the ocean, I started feeling very uneasy. Jensen was visibly bothered as well. Even Cynthia (The Sleepwalker, she gave me the go-ahead to use her name as I'm writing this) was a bit scared. The water got darker and darker, eventually falling to total darkness. I saw no fish on the way down, and then suddenly something slammed against the capsule. Cynthia fell right onto my lap and Jensen sort of accidentally falling on my head. The capsule was shaking madly and the window swung around to show us our attacker, and we came face-to-face with a deep-sea anglerfish, showing us his rows and rows of sharp pointed fangs, and his eyes had a dead, glossy quality to them. It rammed the capsule again and again, starting to dent the exterior slightly.
"Danny, what do we do?!" Cynthia freaked out. I only let her call me Danny, because she was too stubborn to not do that.
"Calm yourself, Cynth." I responded. "We'll be fine. If it gets it I'll knife it."
"Nice idea, asshole." Jensen groaned. "Except we'll have all FUCKING DROWNED before you can do that."
"Good point..." I shut up after that.
The anglerfish was relentless, but after a long time of unsuccessful bashing and me cursing every time my head hit the ceiling of the capsule, it let us be.
As we went further, we saw strange multi-colored rods everywhere, connected to these strange disk-like things that hurt to look at, and they seemed to be looking back. One passed right by our capsule, and the disk seemed to have thousands of eyes and none at the same time. They stared right at us, and all three of us cringed.
Jensen stared in horror.
Cynthia closed her eyes and hummed something unintelligible.
I closed my eyes as well, and began singing something comforting.
"Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming."
When I opened my eyes, it had passed off beyond us. Cynthia then forced herself into me, beginning to cry. It was the first time I had seen her cry. She just sobbed into my chest. Even Jensen was sympathetic. 
I began to cry too.

When we finally got back onto the surface, we recounted our experience. 
The Blind Man listened intently. "I'll need to do some research. I have a general idea of what it might be, but I'm not fully sure. You go back to your Tower and get some rest." And with that, his caravan began to move out.
Also, I heard of what Elise is up to. She's in The Valley of Song. I might pay a visit over there sooner or later.

A Sensitive Matter

So I found The Sleepwalker. She had just decided to wander off through Central Park, but I found her. And scolded her to not run off like that again.
I'm gonna make this long story short.
Basically, I was called by Mistress to the Towering Realm. When I got there, it was a burning wreck. I found the Manufactured Newborn, and he told me in his click-whir language that The Eye showed up and destroyed it, and The Glitch ran after The Eye. We took The MN back to the Tower, and we've just been kind of sitting around trying to figure things out since. And I haven't seen Elise. At all. Weird.
So yeah, that's an update for you.

Numerous Advances

Happy New Year to all you runner/proxy/normal people who stumbled upon my blog and were like what the hell is this. Since I last posted on December 28th, things have grown increasingly complex and generally stranger. But you know what? That's okay.
I aimlessly drove around the Northeast for a couple days, until I read Lydia's invitation to go to the bar. So I went. Upon arrival, she was waiting on a stool at the bar, and The Sleepwalker (Whose name I'm withholding for reasons) and I went inside and sat down next to her. Sleepy ordered a Coke, and I got a Root Beer, because I don't trust myself with alcohol any longer, and Lydia and I chatted about current events and whatnot. She did clue me on to one of the targets I was looking for. She told me "Reality's Computer Virus is working with Reality's Toy." That told me all I needed to know.
So off I went to The Empty City and the Towering Realm. Sure enough, The Glitch was there, and fortunately, he didn't see The Sleepwalker or I.
On my way back to New Jersey, where I was to resume my search, I was stopped by someone in a Police Car. This kind of freaked me out. But to my surprise, who should be the police officer but Jack of All. He gave me this weird, ancient looking urn-type thing. He told me to hold onto it. I put it in the back seat, and The Sleepwalker instantly latched onto it, claiming it as hers.
It wasn't long enough afterwards I got a call from Mistress. I was to report to Grand Central Station alone. Sol would be waiting there for me. So, after arriving in New York City, I dropped The Sleepwalker at the Central Park Zoo with $3000 and told her to have fun and I'd be back for her later. I found a place to park the car, and went to the station to meet up with Sol.
We didn't stay in Grand Central Station for long. We took the subway to somewhere, I didn't care to notice, I was just following Sol, and we ended up in one of the seedier parts of New York City, and we ducked down an alley, going through a very broken-looking door. In the elevator that the hall we went through led to, there was a keyhole, which Sol inserted a key into. We then began going down, rather than up, and ended up in a pure white facility. Mistress was there, as was Sylvia, Luna, Tyrone, Cat, and others.
"Welcome back, Daniel." Luna smiled.
"What the hell is this?" I asked her.
"This is an institution devoted to researching the Fears." She responded.
"Topography Genera?" I asked, the infamous research facility coming to mind instantly.
"No." Luna shook her head.
"So what's this one called?" I inquired.
"We just call it The University." Luna replied.
"So why are we all here?" I kept up with the questions.
"No one's been able to answer that mystery since the dawn of time." Luna sighed.
"No, I mean, at The University!" I yelled in exasperation.
"Oh." Luna replied, like it was some shocker. "There was an incident with Turnip. Elise killed him for some reason, and she's disappeared."

That's just fucking lovely.
My pregnant girlfriend just fucking disappeared on me after killing a comrade of mine.

"That doesn't answer my question." I continued.
"Anyways, Mistress liked Turnip, remember? So she's done something interesting. She's turned him into a Fear."
"WHAT?!" I couldn't contain a shocked scream.
"He's called The Reader now. He's the Fear of fortune-telling and predictions in general. He looks a great deal different now." Luna responded. "But he's still Turnip. Just not conciously."
"I want to see him." I said, not really sure if I did or not.
"Right down there." She pointed in the direction of a long hallway.
Once I got to the end, I saw him. He was in a large room, separated from everyone else. He looked no different that I could tell except he was wearing a long hooded robe. I couldn't see his face, but we both stared at each other intently. He suddenly staggered backwards, and suddenly my mind felt extremely violated. I had nothing else to say to him. So I left.

Afterwards, I went back to the zoo at closing time, to find The Sleepwalker not there. I knew she hadn't wandered off, so that must've mean she was kidnapped. So I've been searching for her ever since.
It's weird though, that odd urn.....it twitches from time to time. Kinda weird.
