(Video is attached to the article. It's a Skype window, showing a slight bit of dialogue between the filmer and the person chatting on the other end. The picture tears along the bottom and statics. A voice in the background sounds off, along with the creek of a chair.)
Midwife: Shoo.
(The static stops and the picture returns to normal. The person on the other end responds, so Midwife clicks the call button. The screen changes to her green swan icon and a blank icon for the MotherMal account. After a couple of dial-tones, Mal (on the other end) finally answers.)
Mal: (the sound on her end echoes a bit, an

"Some Dance To Forget"
Ask: (SomeDanceToRemember)
Hey Mal, I know it's been two months and we've only talked over Tumblr in private chats and maybe talked on Skype once, but there's something I gotta ask you. Something that I've been thinking about for a long time and feel really nervous about asking you outright. First of all, I just want to tell you that you're an awesome musician and I've never heard anyone play the guitar like you do, and how you like a wide variety of music and I've never seen that in anyone. Then again, I don't have a lot of friends, so shows what I know doesn't it (ha ha). Anyway, what I wanted to ask is (cont.)

(The video opens in the field at night. Cars are rushing by the highway not too far away. Jason pans the camera around before turning it back to himself.)
Jason: Hey guys, it's Jason. First of all, I wanna apologize for all this footage stuff. See... I've been getting threats to keep shooting this stuff. They're after Rachel. Looking back, at the photos we took and such... I've only seen Slenderman in the photos she's in. He showed up in a video she shot, and I haven't seen anything of him at all. So...

Video: Introduction & Vampires
(Camera opens to the smirking face of a young woman with straight black hair, slightly dark make-up wearing an Avenged Sevenfold shirt. She's sitting on a bar stool across from her kitchen counter, which overlooks the wide angled TV room. To her right is a picture window, adjacent to that is a sliding screen door that opens to a small side yard It's a bright, sunny day, and she's completely alone.)
Mal: What's up, YouTubers? Call me Mal. I live in beautiful Northern California and it's a beautiful day out today.

Video: Creepypasta, Internet campfire stories
(Video opens at Mal's kitchen counter. It's nighttime, evident by the crickets, but she has the curtains drawn anyway. She sniffles and blinks her eyes a little.)
Mal: Hey, scholars. Welcome back to Sword And Legend. The name's Mal, and I totally caught Val's flu bug.
(Edit cut, she blows her nose into a tissue)
(Edit cut, she peeks into the tissue)
Mal: Yeah, it's that nasty yellow color. Yep. I'm sick.
Mal: As much as I love that little squirt, I feel like I've been hit by a truck and I'm blowing yellow crap into my tissues. I usually make her snacks and

Video: Scariest sound in the world
(Video starts with Mal sitting at the kitchen counter, and is staring intensely at the screen. It's a bright sunny day outside, evident by the view outside Mal's open windows.)
Mal: Scholars. I am about to play you a sound that has kept me up at night. The statistics and facts and charts don't make any sense to me, the girl with an IQ of 160. Guys... turn your volume up, lean in reeeeealy close to the computer... get your headphones, you'll need 'em. I'm gonna play this sound right now.

(Mal turns on the camera, leaning against the side of her car.)
Mal: Hey, scholars. Welcome to the first ever recess of Sword And Legend. Now, for everyone following my vlogs, you know that there's some... personal tragedy that's bogged down everyone around me. It's hard to concentrate on schoolwork, and life in general... I called my mom, and she told me to take a day to clear my head.
(Mal pauses, looking around for a moment as she thinks of what to say, then back at the camera.)
Mal: Uh... let's just say that staying in my house all the time is starting to drive me cr

Video: I'm not scared of you
(The camera is turned on and focused on Mal, who's wearing a sports bra and jogging pants, and is filmed in what looks like a basement or empty gym room. She's quickly striking at a punching bag, with swift punches and jabs. She starts using combinations of punches, jabs and kicks, shaking the bag around quite a bit.)
(After a while, text comes up in the usual Movie Maker style.)
Text: I like to pretend I'm beating up my worst enemy. I guess I got carried away this time.
(After staring at the punching bag for a moment, Mal growls and viciously starts punching at it where a head

Sword And Legend – Off camera
Tell me a story – Mal
Silence would always get on her nerves. The still quiet of a house where only she dwelled always made her hair stand on end. There was almost always some kind of noise: either a YouTube playlist on her laptop or the TV turned onto some random channel just to generate noise. And without them, there was something cooking on the stove, the hum of the oven fan, or on cold nights the gentle humming of the heater. And even still, the wind would blow the leaves softly outside or the chorus of a single cricket on the back deck, or the occasional chirp or screech of a ghost owl was almost

(The channel has been going for about a year, mostly showing music videos of the couple dancing about or acting in their costumes in remote locations. If by popular demand viewers ask how they made a certain costume or make-up, Jason and Rachel will make a video detailing what they did and how they did it. They also attend conventions and interview certain cosplayers about their costume job and attempt to get their secrets. They give the impression they

Title: Another Bird Allegory
While There Are Those Who Possess Slightly Better Skills And Knowledge Than Others, A Human Is Only Capable Of What A Human Can Do. Just As A Dog Can Only Do What A Dog Can Do And A Fish Can Only Do What A Fish Can Do, And So On And So Forth. When They Have Capabilities Of Something Else, They Cannot Use Them To The Extent Of That Something Else.
The Best Example Is The Parrot, Or Any Bird Known For Mimicry. Given Time And Effort, The Parrot Can Speak Human Words, Or Make Other Animal Sounds. However, Even After Learning Human Words, The Parrot Cannot Communicate With Humans. They Can Only Repeat What They Have

Text: I've gone back to the field a few times during the week, day and night. I found I got the most interference at night, and I think it happens in certain places.

(Video begins in pitch black. Camera settings are present, but are mostly mixed numbers. A glowing red dot in the bottom left corner indicates that the camera is recording video. There is darkness for five minutes, then something shifts, and then some distance from the camera is the sound of loud coughing as someone comes to.)

Voice: Good Evening, Mallory.
