Formidable Face THE CONTINUATION

PART 4
Hello my name is Xena. I'm 14 years old. Never in my life I've seen something so disturbing. Well, I'm kind of used to it already. I'm usually into spirits, ghosts, poltergeist, you name it. I've seen it all. I'm also into weird/disturbing stuff. Because of this, I'm known as the "weird kid" or some people like to call me, a freak. However, I'm used to this form of teasing. Everyone does it to me.

. . ..

I'm sorry. Anyways, I have a laptop. I have a couple game's on there. But, one of my favorite games is ROBLOX. And I'm not talking about those crappy simulator or tycoon games on it, I'm talking about the weird myth games. One of my favorites are is "Ƹ̵̡ ̸̡̼͕̲̘͆̽̌Ӝ̵̨̄ ̸̡̼͕̲̘͆̽̌Ʒ". But while I was scrolling through in my Recommended, one standed out the most. The game title was "F0LL0W THE ST4RS" and the description was simply just a binary code. The owner's username was "johnnyoldG". I thought the name was a little funny and a little random. I clicked the user's profile and their About Me stated "FACE". For some reason, that sounded creepy to me. In fact, my heart dropped. I assumed it was nothing and continued on to investigate. I went back to the game page and clicked the play button. I joined the game, and I was stuck in first person. I walked very slowly and everything was echoed. The environment was a black void with bright neon cubes on floor that reminded me of stars which was like the title on the game. There was also tall square-like pillars. The first 4 pillars were neon. The right pillar had cubes on it and the left pillar had some text on it. It stated "F0LL0W THE STARS. HE'S H3R3". Interesting. I continued on to "follow the stars" into the bright neon light ahead of me. Once I finally made it to the end, I touched the bright block in front of me.

After that it kicked me.

It had a message saying "HELL IS N3ER" or from what I remember. After that I thought it wasn't really a good game and it didn't really scare me. I just closed my laptop, put it under my bed, charged it, and called it a day. Plus, It was about 12AM at midnight. I usually stay up until 2AM or 6AM but, I was really tired that night and I just wanted to close my eyes and rest. The next morning, I woke up, ate some breakfast, and went to go on my laptop. Once I grabbed it, It was extremely HOT. Like I'm not talking about kiddie-hot, I'm talking about BURNING. I struggled to grab it. But I so only succeeded and putted it on my bed. "Jesus Christ!" I said. I don't know what it could of made it so hot! I opened my laptop, put in my password, and got where I left off. The "F0LL0W THE ST4RS" game page. But, for some reason, everything was laggy. I tried to click the "X" button, but it went to "not responding"

At that point, my laptop was literally an oven. It felt like it was about to explode. "Dumb sellers! Why would anyone sell a laptop that doesn't even work!?" I said raising my voice a bit. I calmed down and just decided to reset the old thing. Once it was restarted, It went from hot to cold real fast. I was kind of relieved. Then I opened my laptop again, and put in my password. Once I was set in where my apps were, There was an error message. A really.. Weird.. message.. "HELL IS N3AR" the message said. It was the same message from that bad myth game. I thought it probably gave me a virus when it kicked me. Which is fricking crazy. Plus, my laptop doesn't even have a virus protection software installed. It had an option to proceed or deny. But of course, the deny button HAD to be disabled. I closed my laptop and opened it again. But it still contained the message. I had no choice but to click the proceed button. It linked me to a strange page. The title stated "Formidable Face" and the description was "Don't mess with him! Or he'll bring out his Formidable face!". And just to say, that "Formidable Face" was mildly disturbing.

It started speaking. YES, LITERALLY SPEAKING. "H-H-H3LL0 X3NA" it said with a very glitchy monster voice. "H-how do you k-know my name?" I responded back. "D0N'T B3 SC4RED-D-D." "1 N33D Y0U'R3 H3LP-P-P-P". "W-with what?" "D0 Y0U KN0W ANYT-TH1NG AB0UT-T-T A-A1DEN?" "Do you m-mean that kid at school?" "Y-YES." "W-what about him?" "I'VE 3NC0UNTERED H1M B3F0RE-E-E-E" "R-really?" "I'm-m friends with him." "H0W CL0SE?" "Like b-best friend?" "L-L-L1STEN T0 M3 X3NA. D0N'T LET A1DEN-N-N GET ANYWH3RE-E N3AR TH1S L4PT0P." "Why?" I asked confused." "Y0U'LL-L-L UND3RST4ND-D-D." My laptop closed before I could say another word. I heard my doorbell ring. ".. ." I was a little terrified at that moment. Regarding the fact I've seen something so creepy. I got up from my bed to go answer the door.

Once I opened it, oh my god. it was Aiden. "Aiden! I haven't uh seen you in a while!" I said with a fake smile. "Heyy Xena. I wanted to see your laptop for a little." He responded. "Well uh- It's out of battery." "Alright.. uh wanna like hangout? I guess?" "I'm busy Aiden. I can't." "Well uh.. see you at school tomorrow I guess." "B-bye.!" I didn't say bye back. "Dammit! That was awkward!" I said to myself. "I'm never going to talk to that nerdy boy again!" But then I realized something. How that formidable face thing knew him. That one day at school, he looked very terrified. I looked at his left leg. It seemed that he had had a big wound on his leg. I don't know if he was tired or just fell of a bike and scraped his leg, but it looked pretty bad. I went to back to my room and opened my laptop. Without needing to type in my password,

I was straight in the "Formidable face" page. "GR4ET-T-T J0B-B-B. N0W, I W4NT-T-T Y0U T0 C0NT1NU3 D0ING-G-G TH4T." "For what reason! I don't understand!" I said back. "HE W4S 0NE 0F M-M-MY V1CT1M-M-MS. UNT1L H3 D1D S0METH1NG UNTH1NK4BLE TO ME-E-E." "Like . . . what?" "H3 B3ATED M3 AT MY 0WN G4ME. I F3LT B4D F0R H1M. TH3 M4NY T1MES-S-S-S I TR1ED T0 K1LL H1M. IT JUST-T-T G4VE ME A B4D T4STE-E 1N MY M0UTH-H-H. S0 TH3N, I G4VE H1M A CH4NCE. AND N3VER-R-R S4W AID3N-N-N AGA1N." "Alright? Then why are you trying to hide from him?" "A C0UPLE 0F MONTHS 4GO, H3 P0STED TH1S EXPERIENCE W1TH ME. H3 T0LD EVERY0NE T0-0-0 CHECK THEIR L4PT0PS T0 SEE 1F THERE W4S S0METHING TH4T DIDN'T-T-T SEEM R1GHT-T. N0W, HE'S CHECKING ALL HIS FRIEND'S DEVICES-S." "H-how do you know this.?" "WH4T D0 Y0U TH1NK X3NA. I'M A SP1RIT." "Ok ok right." "S0 S1NCE Y0U'RE A1DEN'S FR1END, I WANTED-D-D-D T0 T3LL Y0U-U-U." "Wow. I didn't know such a thing. . ." "L1ST3N T0 M3. D0N'T-T L3T A1DEN G3T T0 Y0U'RE L4PT0P!" "Ok. I wont. I promise." "G00D." Once again, my laptop closed by itself. You know, I don't like this spirit living in my laptop.

I'm tired of all of this. I tried opening my laptop but failed. "It's heavy! I can't open it!" I tried so hard. But I couldn't open it. I don't know whether to talk to Aiden about it, or to not. I'm curious about this whole thing. On my phone, I called Aiden to talk to him. *DIAL SOUNDS* He answered. "Hello?" I said. "Hi Xena. Uh- is there anything wrong?" "No. I just wanted to talk to you. . . About something." "About.. what?" "Well. . . do you know something about a laptop.?" "..." "I feel dumb saying this but, do you know anything about a face..? . . on .. Roblox?" "Y-yeah. Do y-you mind if I come over.?" "I guess. . ." after that call, couple of minutes later my doorbell rang.

I went to my door to open it. "Hey Aiden." "Hey Xena." "Y-you can walk in now." "A-alright.." I close the door behind us. "So uhh, I heard you've encountered the THING." Aiden said. "Y-yeah yeah. . ." I responded. "Can I see the laptop.?" "Sure." I grabbed my laptop from my room. Expecting it to be hot, it wasn't. I gave it to Aiden. Just in case, I brought out a pocket knife. He looked at me. "Just incase . ." I said. He nodded and opened the laptop. "What's your password?" He said. I wasn't expecting it to do that so then I grabbed it and typed it in without saying a word. I gave it back to him. God this is so awkward. He said "Are you sure you saw it?" "I'm-m sure I did.." I said back. He showed me my laptop and the page was the regular smile page. Couple of seconds fly by, and then Aiden jumps. "JESUS CHRIST!" he screamed. "THIS IS FRICKING HOT!" On his hand I see a really red burn.

There was smoke coming out of the laptop. I freaked out. Then I could see it. The Formidable Face with "johnnyoldG"'s avatar. "You're still gonna use my avatar like that huh? WHY." Aiden said to it. "WHY W0ULD-D-D Y0U C-C4RE? Y0U 0NL-L-LY J01NED R0BL0X A F3W M0NTH'S AG0." it said back. "The only thing I wanted to see you again is because I have a QUESTION. a really SIMPLE question." "WHY DID YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER MY BODY?!?! I'M STILL CONFUSED ABOUT THAT!" "I SH0ULD'NT H4VE G4VE Y0U 4N0THER-R-R CH4NCE Y0U UNGR4TEFUL B4ST4RD-D-D!" "YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING MY-" My pocket knife opens and flies near Aiden probably to stab him. "WAIT STOP!" I scream. Once the knife could get to Aiden, everything stopped. "You know what? You should kill me instead of Aiden." I said with an angry tone. "WHY W0ULD Y0U W4NT T0 D1E F0R. Y0U'R3 N0T TH3 0NE TH4T DESERVES T0 D-D-D1E."

"Because I'm the one who brought Aiden here in the first place. You know what? Aiden get out of here!" "I don't wanna leave now. I want answers." "LEAVE! NOW!" "I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE! THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE THE LAST TIME TO INTERACT WITH THIS SPIRIT!" I run towards him. He's getting annoying. I punch him a several times. I punch him in the eye. I gave him a black eye. "You know what Xena? You're ticking me off." "So what? You're the one in MY house! And NO. You're not getting MY laptop you idiot." "FINE! You know WHAT? We're done being friends." "GOOD! BECAUSE I HATE YOU!" Aiden takes his bike leaves. *sigh* "Aiden is such an idiot! Jesus!" I say to myself.

I walk slowly inside my house to see the spirit just floating there. "Hey, are you alright?" It looks at me. The avatar of johnnyoldG starts to fade away. And inside of it was a little girl with a white dress and a pink bowtie. "ₜₕₐₙₖ yₒᵤ." it says. "You're welcome." I say. " What's your name?" "bₑₗₗₐ." "Nice name. So, where are you planning to stay?" "ₕₑᵣₑ. ᵢₙ yₒᵤᵣ ₗₐₚₜₒₚ." "Why?" "ᵢ ₙₑₑd ₜₒ ₕᵢdₑ ₜₕₑᵣₑ." "From w-who..?" "fᵣₒₘ ₕᵢₘ" "Who's him?" "Yₒᵤ'ₗₗ ᵤₙdₑᵣₛₜₐₙd. ₛₒₒₙ." Golden sparkles surround the spirit, to go inside my laptop. After that, I'm still kind of confused.

After that, Life is weird. Aiden keeps giving me a look every time I walk past him. I think he hates me. But, I'm happy for that spirit. She's free from one boy trying to find her. But, I still wanna know who that "HIM" guy is.

I still wanna know.

PART 5
Working for ROBLOX has been bizarre for me ever since this incident happened at the headquarters. I can't forget the disturbing stuff I saw that very day. And just thinking about it makes me emotional. I don't work for ROBLOX anymore. I work somewhere else now. But, let's just put that behind us. I might get an email sent from them to shut this down, but I can't just keep this a secret like nothing happened.

2013, November 4th MONDAY

It was time for this meeting that I was about to attend. I was tired that morning. Just wanted to get in and get out. I didn't really care for this meeting though, I thought it would just be another big discussion about game bugs and glitches. But no, I was totally wrong. In fact, it was something massive that the owner, David was planning. As I was told in the building, we were gonna do an interview with the CEO of ROBLOX. (Known

as David Baszucki)

Now, being heard this while working for Roblox was a big thing. Because usually you would do a meeting with your managers and stuff. I was kind of nervous. I tried not too, giving the fact that this was going to be a professional meeting. Like, a really serious one. As I walked into the room, there was a big screen and there was couches and chairs and even beanbags scattered around the big room. This looked more like an announcement than a meeting I thought. Though, since that David was included, I thought it was necessary. There were a bunch of employees there and some people I knew. But, it was my first year there so I didn't really have friends there. I sat down and waited for it to start. I was still pretty curious of what was going on. And then, "Is everyone ready for the meeting?" David said excitedly. "Well, it's more like an announcement but alright." He also said. "I wanted to gather you all for this new invention I made!" I was confused.

I was thinking to myself. "Invention? What Invention?" "This is a game company. Not an invention company." "Any questions before we get started?" David said. Surprisingly enough, no one had questions. But me. "Yes? [NAME]" "Is this something to do with the developing of our game?" "No! Not at all." He replied. I was confused, but that just made me more curious. Since no one else had questions, David pulled something behind the curtain. It was a present box. A medium sized present box. He opened it. And it was something horrible. Nasty. Disturbing. I can try to describe it from what I remember. It was a ROBLOX avatar. But, it was a living creature. It was fleshy. The eyes we're realistically big and black. The smile was the worst part. It had teeth. And inside was just a really dark void with a snake like tongue. I could see the disgust on all of the people's face in that room. And I was pretty disgusted too. I was glad that it was inside a glass box. And not free. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if it was free. David said it was a surprise for Erick.

I honestly don't know how he would of came up of this. I don't know HOW he even made something so hideous. Some people ran, walked out of the room and everyone was whispering to each other. "Why are you guys scared? It's just a little avatar that's alive!" David said with a confused face. I didn't want to see it anymore. I walked out. People were talking about it all over the building.

2013. November 9th

It's been a few days since that whole thing happened. You probably though I'd be fired then, but no, you're wrong. Once I arrived at the HQ, there was a new room installed. I walked into the room, and was shocked. "There's more of them?!" It showed an indoor playground full of those avatar creatures but just with different colors. I also saw kids playing with these things. I didn't thought it was safe. I told one of my managers but they said it was David's commands. Apparently, he want's these things to play with children.

2013. November 10

During these last few days, I've been noticing some weird stuff happening to those creatures. They're growing a little bit sinister. Their looks are getting more scarier. And kids are starting to be afraid of those things. Here's one thing I remember. I heard weird eating noises near the playground area. Usually while kids weren't in the room, there was no "creatures". They would hide in the corners, and just    sit. There. But at that time, I never heard EATING noises. The room had a smell that was so bad that I just tried not to breath through my nose. It just smelled, too bad. I looked In one of the dark parts of the room. I think it was about around 6:00 and usually at that time, we dimmed the lights. So, it was hard for me to see. I got a flashlight. I shined it and It revealed the "creature" eating a rat. It looked like a white character with a grey torso and legs. It was making really loud grunting noises. There was blood all over it's mouth. And some blood going down it's torso. I was about to puke. Then, I heard the front door open. I quickly ran to the entrance. I saw a family with 2 kids. One kid that looked 12 or 13 and another small kid with a dress that looked 4 or 5. I was about to tell them that we were having problems and ask to leave, but before I could say anything, David walked in and asked if they were visitors and they said yes. David offered them a tour and they were on their way. Then, I saw the small child wandering off and finding the play room with those "creatures". I quickly ran over to the room to see the kid playing with the "creatures" that had just came out of their dark corners. I saw the one that was eating the rat before, but all of the blood was. .. gone. It was like clean. But it was looking at the kid. It was shaking and looked eager for flesh. Right before I was about to grab the child and give her to her family, I was pulled away to my manager. "Let her be. Go back to work.". My manager said. Once I walked back to go to my office, I heard a scream. I quickly rushed back. My manager running as well. It shown the white figure eating the girl.

The mouth was extended with really sharp teeth. It kept it's smile like it was happy. But for the kid, It wasn't so lucky for her. She was dead. And the happy music in the playground area made it worst. My manager ran back screaming "SOMEONE GET A GUN!" "SHOOT IT!" "IT'S EATING A POOR CHILD!". I ran back to the entrance to the outside to go to my car and get my pocket knife. I looked back and I saw blood all over the windows. I quickly ran back and saw blood all over the hallways. I went by the play room and saw that the creature also killed it's own kind. I heard gunshots and screaming upstairs. I quickly went up the stairs. I saw it down the hallway. That CREATURE. It had blood all over it. It's body parts were skinny and long this time. Like it was evolving. The smile was so long and the eyes we're a deep black. It was laughing.

I hided in one of the rooms and peeked to see what was going on. It ran to the right and it was FAST. I ran out of the room and found a gun. It was loaded. I planned to shoot the thing. Once I was trying to find it, I heard cries coming from the rooms. I slowly went inside one of the rooms, to find it munching down on another worker. I stomped my foot to get it's attention. And it quickly looked at me. I was pointing my gun at it. Just silence for 3 seconds and it attacked. It's sharped claws scratched my leg so bad it started to bleed. Then I started shooting. The room had a window, so my plan was to get it to break the glass and fall down. I noticed that it wasn't taking damage, and it just backed off whenever I shot.

And just how I predicted. It fell. I looked down to see foot prints leading to the forest. It was gone. It escaped. I looked up to see helicopters with lights that we're showing brightly at me. "This is the police! Drop your weapon and don't move!" They said while holding me gunpoint.

2013, November 11th.

To hear the news about how Erick died broke my heart. Surprisingly enough, David survived that whole thing. But, he's depressed. I didn't got arrested because there was no evidence. I tried to tell them about that creature, but they thought I was crazy. I quit ROBLOX that day. And most of the workers who survived also quit. I'm still horrified about that incident today. I just can't stop thinking about it.

But hopefully,

that thing died 8 years ago.
