Why the "edited" in the subject header? It's difficult, not to mention embarrassing, to explain so I wish to NOT explain. I just wish for an analysis of my story, and I know I can get that here.
******************
It all started in '07 with an acquaintance from my forum. He was being stalked by the demon. He posted a thread asking for help and included a link to the quacker and bowen site so people would know what he was talking about. I, being the kind-hearted person that I am, decided to click on the link and find out about it so I could help him. I went to the site and read the stories, and instantly became damned. I began wondering what the songs "Can you feel the Sunshine?" and "Living in the City" sounded like. I
searched for the songs and eventually found and downloaded them. I began wondering what the game Sonic R was like. Eventually I managed to put this out of my head, but it was still there lurking within the recesses of my mind.
In January of ’08 my boyfriend who lives in another state offered to get me a gift. I thought for a second, and then suddenly it came to me, almost as if from somewhere outside of me, to ask for a Tails plushie. He bought me the plushie and sent it to me. I, having some sense, decided to purify and protect it with spells when it arrived. I don't think I managed to cast the spells in time.
So I had the plushie and nothing happened. Then in February my Mom and I went to look at a house. We stopped at a Gamestop before we went home, and it was there that I saw it: a copy of Sonic Gems Collection. I was stupefied. Not only that I had
found a pre-owned copy, but that the copy looked pristine. There was no sign of wear or age on that seven year-old game. Not on the disk, not on the box, not even on the instruction manual. I couldn't stop myself. I bought the game. Took it home. And yes, I
immediately started playing Sonic R.
I didn't believe in the curse anymore. At least I didn't think I believed it. I still maintained my protective spells around my room to prevent anything evil from getting in. But I had been doing that for a couple of years (Long story).
The first character I unlocked after beating the game was Tails Doll. I played as him. I didn’t unlock any more characters that night and when I went to bed IT appeared in a dream. I was in a place that looked like Resort Island. I was holding a plush that looked like the Tails Doll, or it might have ACTUALLY been the Tails Doll - I’m not sure - and I was playing with it. The doll was innocent and almost cute. And I was happy in the dream. I was holding the doll in my arms and looking into its eyes, when suddenly I got a weird feeling. I woke up before anything could happen.
When I woke up I looked over and noticed that the Tails plushie, which had one eye higher than the other, seemed to be staring at me. Every night before I went to bed, I set up more protective wards about my room to prevent anything evil from directly entering.
But It found a loop-hole. The plushie.
The Tails Doll made sure I’d get one so it could use it as a vessel to get past my barriers. Then all it needed to do was make sure that I had the game. I don't know why it would want to come after me though, 'cause I seriously doubt that I'm a "pure soul".
The day after my first dream with the Tails Doll in it, I set out to finish the game 100%. It was like I couldn't help myself. I was having trouble finding all the tokens, so I went on the Internet to look up the locations of where each token was in each area. During my research, I found the release date of Sonic R when it originally came out back in the 90's. It was released October, 31. Halloween. The day when spirits, both good and evil, are at their strongest.
I started to get a little bit worried then, but I kept on playing anyway. Then I had only one last character to unlock: Metal Knuckles. I just couldn't find the last token no matter how hard I tried. So I got bored and decided to play Tag 4 characters. It was if someone wanted me to play Tag 4. And of course I played as the demon doll in Radical City.
All was fine at first. I had managed to tag everyone but Metal Sonic. He was never where he was shown to be on the map. He was somehow faster than he should have been. I even spotted him running OUTSIDE the area. He shouldn't have been able to
do that.
I figured it was a glitch and quit without finishing it. Nothing happened that night. The next day I remembered that I had read in one of the stories that all glitches in Sonic R revolve around the Tails Doll. I began to be afraid. That night I had another dream
with the Tails Doll in it. This time, though, it was a nightmare.
I dreamed I was in a creepy looking forest that was dying at sunset. I walked deep into the forest trying to find the way out. I found a lake in the heart of the forest. The water was very dark blue in color. Suddenly the lake started to fill with blood as the sound of anguished screams rang throughout the forest from every direction.
I turned to run and found myself back in my home. It was daytime and it was bright and very sunny. Perhaps TOO sunny. The phone rang and I was afraid, though I didn't know why. I went to grab the phone, but what I picked up was the Tails Doll. I tossed
the doll aside without thinking and got the phone. I checked the caller ID like I always did, and it was an unfamiliar number and name. The name faded away and left behind two words.
I can't remember what those words are though, yet they filled me with dread when I saw them.
When I saw that name and number I became afraid again. I answered and my voice shook as I spoke, "H-hello?" A creepy, demonic voice that I knew belonged to IT answered. It answered in high olde English, "Dost thou remember when thou first heard of the Tails Doll?" Then there was evil laughter and, though I'm no longer certain, I think I heard music in the background.
I woke up in a cold sweat. I knew that I was in danger. The first thing that I did was delete my save file of Sonic R. I even went and sold my copy of the game at the pawn shop. I called my friend and told her about all this. I went to her house that Sunday and brought my Tails plushie and my Ouija board. We got out my Ouija board to try and contact one of our spiritual contacts to ask for guidance. But it wasn't one of our contacts that answered. IT answered before we could even call anyone. Tails Doll. My friend asked it what it wanted. And it said it wanted me, though it didn't say why. My friend managed to drive him away. That's when we decided to cast stronger spells of purification and protection on my Tails plushie. Just in case TD tried to use it as a vessel to get me. Then we managed to get a hold of one of our contacts to find out what to do next. We were told to get my copy of Gems back and cleanse it completely so the demon couldn't use it anymore.
The next day I went back to the pawn shop hoping that the game was still there. And it was. I guess people sensed that there was something not right about it and just ignored it. I purchased it once again. The following Saturday my friend and I got together and held the ceremony to banish, seal, and purify the game. We did it. I had brought my Ouija board with me again and we asked our contacts if we succeeded. We were told we had not. The demon had managed to escape, but I now own a safe copy of Gems. Tails Doll can't go back to my copy again.
I think I'm safe now. But it all started because of the quacker and bowen site. You don't need to play Sonic R to become a target. You just need to hear about the curse. Once you learn of it, he'll find you.
