Someone at the Door is rather unique, or at least it's different from what I've done before. That being said, it's also the first thing I'm uploading here. I'm rather proud of it. The format it's in is similar to how Homestuck is, except without the pictures. The people giving the commands are my friends on Skype, for the most part my girlfriend Sadie and my aniki Videth, so when I post the chapters and how often I do really depends on whether they're available or not. Anyways, more about SatD itself, it's a Marble Hornets fanfic - since there aren't enough of fanfics for it - and it also has JAM, as that also doesn't have enough fanfics. The storyline pretty much explains itself...plus, I couldn't really tell you what happens anyways, because it's honestly up to Sadie and Videth what exactly happens. Okay, enough of that.

pairing(s): JAM, hinted Tim/Hoodie, possibly more

warnings: May have some violence and gore.

disclaimer: I do not own these characters.


You wake up panting. You feel hot, sweaty, and scared. You're not even particularly sure what you're scared about. In fact, you're not even sure about anything, really. You do know your name is Tim, though. Everything else is a blur. You get up from the uncomfortable bed you were apparently sleeping in, and look around the room. It was dark, the almost fully boarded up window across from you the only source of light, beams of sunlight brightly shining through the wood. You note that this isn't really a well built house, made of wood that looked almost like it was going to fall apart any second, and there wasn't even a floor, just dirt. You think you're pretty lucky for the house to have not collapsed in on itself while you were having nightmares or something.
== Inspect the outside.
You walk up to the window, still panting heavily. You peak through one of the boards, but you really can't see much of anything besides a mess of green and blue. Maybe a little….black and white? You're not sure. You grab a hold of one of the pieces of the wood, tearing it off. You are not very happy about what you find. You really regret even trying to look out now. About 20 feet away, there stands a tall man, skin unnaturally white, wearing a business suit. The thing that really gets to you is his lack of a face. He doesn't even have eyes and yet you can feel his stare burning into your skin. You immediately duck under the window. Haven't you seen that thing before? Again, you can't really remember anything.
== Look for something to drink/panic.
You pause for a moment then crawl away from the window, then getting up at a place where that….thing couldn't see you. You're now hyperventilating. Your throat feels dry, more so than before. Come on, Tim, everything's going to be okay, you're going to get out of this alive, you tell yourself, but it's not helping. It may just be making it worse. You look around, paranoid. The first thing you think of is something to drink. Anything. Though, some sort of alcohol would be appreciated. Sadly enough, there is nothing in this tiny house but dust. A lot of it. And you really don't want to go out there after seeing that faceless monster.
== Hide under the bed.
You walk over to the bed, and look under it, considering it as a hiding spot. It doesn't look like you could fit under it. However, there is a box underneath it. You grab it, being careful as you lift it up. You pull the lid off. A camera? It looks quite fancy, and new. Why would such a nice camera be in such a dirty, old place like this? Did you perhaps put it here before you lost your memory? For now these questions are meaningless, as said memory is still yet to be found.
== Check the camera for recent videos.
You sit on the bed, turning the camera on. You had never really known how to work these things, or at least you don't think you did, but you'll try anyway. You somehow manage to find the already recorded videos, and go to the most recent one. It starts off in the forest, whoever that was recording was running, and his breaths came out in wheezes. It goes on for a while until they reach a small wooden house. About the same size of the one you're in now. Except different….newer. More clean. They run inside, quickly shutting the door. Yes, this is definitely the same house. They go to look outside. The same monster you saw before was there. Then the video cuts off. Well, that seems familiar and all, but you still can't remember a darned thing.
== Check the other videos.
There are 2 videos before that one. You go to the previous one. The person holding the camera, which you note sounds like a different person now, is in a sort of….closet? He's hiding, whoever he is. You can hear sobs in the background. It sounds like a little girl. Then, you hear the most sickening sound of flesh tearing. It makes you want to gag. The person peaks out to see that….thing. Tentacles are coming out of its back. And something….oh god what is that. You shut your eyes as tightly as you possibly could. You can still hear those sobs, and flesh tearing. You hear the guy swear under his breath and then start running. You still hear the sobs. You open your eyes, to see the video has ended. But wait, if the video ended, why can you still hear sobbing?
== Look around for the sobs.
You look behind you, expecting for someone to be there. There is nothing. You feel sort of relieved, though. But that sobbing is really starting to get to you. You decide to peak outside, maybe they're out there. You sneak up to the window, and look out. The faceless man is still there, just standing, and no one or thing for that matter is with him. He does, however, look a little closer now. You could go outside, but would you really risk it? You have no idea if you can even attempt to fight it OR get past it.
== Find a weapon/keep hiding and use camera to see indirectly.
You get the camera back to the recording setting, press the 'start recording' button, and set it on the window in the big crack you made. It's just big enough to put the camera there. You pick up the piece of wood you tore from the window. It feels fairly strong, not to mention the nails sticking out of the end. That could definitely hurt someone, though you're not sure about faceless men. But if it comes to it, you need to be able to defend yourself. You sit down on the bed, staring at the window. You really, really hope something good happens soon.
== Look for an escape route.
After a few minutes of sitting, you decide to look for somewhere to escape to if it's needed. After a few minutes of crawling around looking for something, you conclude the only place you can escape to is the door next to the window. You definitely don't want to go out that way at the moment, though.
== Check for anything in the box you missed.
You pick up the box you neatly put next to the bed. Underneath seemed to be just some fuzzy stuff which you're not sure what it's called, but maybe there was something else. You lift the fuzzy stuff, to reveal a note and two flashlights.
== Read the note.
You would read the note, but it's just scribbles. It looks like….a few trees, and in the center there is a circle with an X through it. Don't you know this mark from somewhere? If only there was something else you recognized to push you to remember. Ugh, your head is starting to hurt now.
== Loot the flashlights.
You pick up the two flashlights. The larger one is a deep blue, and the smaller is black with little stickers all over it. Hello kitty stickers. You wonder whose flashlight the black one is. You do remember seeing the blue one in the last video you watched, though. How'd it get here, though?
== Check the camera.
You get up from the dirt floor, the piece of wood in hand, and grab the camera from the window. You peak outside. It's sunset, you didn't even notice before now. The faceless man is definitely closer now. Images of the monster flash through your mind, and you stumble back, falling on the bed. You catch your breath, and look at the camera. It's still recording. You stop recording. You go to the videos, and look at the most recent video. Of course, it starts off with you putting it in the window. The funny thing is, the faceless man isn't there. At least not at first. There starts to be audio and video distortion, and the faceless man is there again, closer. The video distortions make it seem like he's teleporting closer and closer. Maybe he is. Wait, now he seems closer than he is when you looked outside. Suddenly, the….flesh….it appears again. You immediately shield your eyes, only peeping out to stop the video. You don't want to see that thing again.
== Use the camera to document this.
Isn't that what you're doing already? Well, sort of. You start recording again. You look to the window. It's dark outside. And, when you say dark, you mean REALLY dark. You can barely see anything now. The only thing that lights anything up at this point is the soft light of the screen on your camera. You pick up the smaller black flashlight, and turn it on. It's surprisingly bright, and you might note the light is PINK, not like a normal flashlight. It's sort of soothing in a way.
== Look outside to see if there is anything besides the faceless man.
You go back to the window, and shine your pink flashlight out there. You are relieved to find that the faceless man is no longer there. But who knows, he could be right next to the house, but is not in direct lining of the window. Okay, you'd actually rather think he went somewhere else. You shine the flashlight to different parts of the vicinity, but there is nothing out there besides trees. Until you look closer. There is a mask hanging on a branch. You know that mask, but you're not particularly sure where from.
== Check out the mask.
You suppose since the monster is gone for now, it's safe enough to go outside. You pick up your weapon with the same hand in which you have the flashlight, and walk outside after somehow managing to open the door without dropping anything. You go over to the tree with the mask, and set the camera down. You quickly take a look around before putting the piece of wood down. You take the mask off of the branch, looking at it. Huh, were you this tired before? You take a few steps back towards the shack, stumbling as you do so. You're so….tired… You feel like you could just pass out now…
== Pass out.
It's not like you have much of a choice now. You collapse; you can feel the slightly wet grass hit your cheek. The funny thing is, before you fully fade out of consciousness, you can feel your body moving. And then everything is black. And after that, you wake up. You're on the ground again, you can tell by the textures. Damn, at least the first time you woke up in a bed, however uncomfortable it was. You slowly rise up, groaning. Your back feels like shit. You open your eyes, and you don't have to look around much to figure out you're somewhere else in the forest. And a few feet away from you, that same mask is hanging on another branch, almost taunting you. And next to you is the camera, it seems it was turned off. Or maybe it ran out of power, after all it IS daytime now, from the looks of it.
== Check to see if there are new videos.
You pick up the camera, pressing the power button. Surprisingly, it turns on. So it didn't run out of energy after all. You check the new videos, and besides what you were recording before, there was one more video added. For the little picture on it, though, is that mask, and makes you feel like you shouldn't be watching it. Nonetheless, you press the play button, mentally preparing yourself for whatever is in it.


So yeah, I hope you guys liked it. Reviews are appreciated!
