Let's MST: Sonic.EXE
Apr. 5th, 2013 02:24 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
shamanicshayminSomeone made a homage to BEN.wmv and the Mario 64 pasta. Not too bad. The Toads with BEN's face on them are certainly creepier than recent stuff I've seen. :P
Remember when I made fun of the Mario 64 creepypasta? This time, Sonic gets a turn! "Sonic.EXE" sure gets circulated a lot, despite well... being cliche as hell. Zalgo'd Sonic, oooooooh, scary!
The pasta's here and the gameplay's here. I also thought this guy's playthrough was rather amusing. Onto the riffing!
I'm a total Sonic the Hedgehog fan much like everyone else,
Tell that to Mario fans during the Console Wars.
I like the newer games, but I don't mind playing the classics.
"Don't mind?" You do realize a ton of old*sk00l Sonic fans would put your head on a pike for that.
I don't think I've ever played glitchy or hacked games before, though I don't think I want to play any after the experience I had...
You, sir, are either completely sheltered or an enormous liar. Does Sonic 2006 not count as a "glitchy" game?
It started on a nice summer afternoon, I was playing Sonic Unleashed (I liked how you get to explore the towns in it) until I noticed, out of my peripheral vision, that the mailman had arrived and put something in my mailbox as usual and left.
The postman always comes twice... according to this romance novel that showed up on top of Google Search.
I paused my game to go see what I got in the mail... The only thing in the Mailbox was a CD case for computers and a note. I took it inside.
"This postman is carrying one hell of a package! Charisma Harlow has been lusting after her hunky postman Travis Walker ever since he started delivering her mail a few months ago. In fact, she’s so hot for him, she finds herself ordering things online so he’ll show up more often. When her subtle flirting doesn’t do the trick, she decides to finally get serious and seduce him outright. She orders the heaviest thing she can find so he’ll have to bring it inside her apartment, then greets him at the door in nothing but a short, sexy robe when he shows up. Travis gets the message and spends his lunch hour proving he really knows how to deliver—in the bedroom."
Narrator: Goddammit, the mailman is hitting on me again!
I looked at the note first and realized it was from my dear friend Kyle (Let's just call him that), whom I hadn't heard from in 2 weeks. I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked; it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Kyle was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry.
We shall now read the rest of the pasta in Cartman's voice.
This is what he wrote...
"Tom,
I can't take it anymore, I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you'd do it for me. I can't do it, he’s after me, and if you don't destroy this CD, he'll come after you too, he's too fast for me....
Please Tom, destroy this god-forsaken disc before he comes after you too, it's too late for me.
Wait a minute. His friend's name is protected, but not his own?
Destroy the disc, and you'll destroy him, but do it quick otherwise he'll catch you. Don't even play the game, it's what he wants, just destroy it.
Please...
Kyle"
Guess what Tom has in common with slasher film victims? If you answered that he has no common sense and that he's Too Dumb To Live, you'd be correct! :D
Well, that was certainly weird. Even though Kyle IS my best friend and I haven't seen him in 2 weeks, I didn't do what he asked me. I didn't think that a simple gaming disc would do anything bad to him, after all it's just a game right? Boy, was I wrong about that...
Some friend you are! Now I think I know why Kyle hadn't contacted you in two weeks. He was on a vacation from you and didn't bother to write while he was hanging out with the ladies in Tahiti.
ANY way, I looked at the disc and it looks like any ordinary computer CD-R disc, except it had black marker on it written "SONIC.EXE", and it was much unlike Kyle's handwriting, meaning that he must've gotten it from someone else, like a pawn shop or eBay.
See what I mean about the cliches? So far, we've got:
1. Nostalgic fanboy gets a used cart/disc of his favorite game.
2. Same copy has the label torn off and has its name scribbled on tape with marker.
3. Same copy achieved through dubious means at a pawn shop/eBay/Gamestop/creepy old guy.
4. Nostalgic fanboy is given clear warnings from previous owners not to play the damn game, which he does anyway.
5. He ominously tells us he ends up regretting it. Naturally.
When I saw "SONIC" on the writing of the CD, I was actually excited and wanted to play it, since I'm a a BIG Sonic fan.
Tom: Eh, it's Dr. Mario. Might as well get rid of it like you told me to.
Kyle: Actually, it's a Sonic game.
Tom: OH BOY, SONIC! I LOVE SONIC! I'M GONNA PLAY IT RIGHT AWAY! DUR HUR HUR
Kyle: *facepalm*
I went up to my room and turned on my computer and put the disc in and installed the game. When the title screen popped up I noticed that it was the first Sonic game, I was like "Awesome!" Because like I said earlier I liked the classics.
Tom: Oh yeah, did I mention that I liked classics? 'Cause I'm totally a classic Sonic fan. Did you know that I love classic Sonic?
The first thing I noticed that was out of place was when I pressed start, there's was a split second when I saw the title image turned into something much different, something that I now consider horrifying, before cutting to black.
I dunno, a split second is real damn fast, I doubt you'd be able to catch all the details unless you managed to pause the screen with an emulator.
I remember what the image looked like in that split second before the game cut to black; The sky had darkened, the title emblem was rusted and ruined, the SEGA 1991 was now instead SEGA 666, and the water had turned red, like blood, except it looked hyper-realistic.
Did someone open the elevator from The Shining again?
But the freakiest thing that was in that split second frame was Sonic, his eyes were pitch black and bleeding with two glowing red dots staring RIGHT AT ME, and his smile had stretched wider up to the edge of his face.
Oh sure, make it all about you. *rolls eyes*
I was rather disturbed about that image when I saw it, though I figured that it was just a glitch and forgot about it. After it cut to black it stayed like that for about 10 seconds or so.
You saw the Scary Screen for a friggin' split second. Also, I'm pretty certain glitches are usually a bunch of pixellated garbage than graphics.
And then another weird thing happened, the save file select from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 popped up, and I was like "WTF? What's this doing in the first Sonic game?", anyway, then I notice something off, the background was the dark cloudy sky of the Bad Stardust Speedway level from Sonic CD, and there were only three save files. The music was that creepy Caverns of Winter music from Earthbound, only it was extended and seemed to have been in reverse. And the image for the save file where you see a preview of the level you're on is just red static for all three files.
What freaked me out more was the character select, it showed only Tails, Knuckles and to my surprise, Dr. Robotnik! Now I was sure that something was up, I mean, how can you play as Robotnik in a classic Sonic game, for crying out loud?
Seriously? Tom has some really fucked up priorities. If he was any normal person IRL, the first thing he'd notice different about the game is not the split-second title screen of Zalgo'd Sonic, but the obviously demonic-looking menu screen with music from an entirely different console than the SEGA Genesis. Then what does he focus on next? OMG everything is blood-red? Nope. "OMG ROBOTNIK IS PLAYABLE THIS GAME IS CREEPING ME OOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!11!11!"
That's when I realized that this wasn't a glitchy game, it was a hacked game.
If anything murdered my suspension of disbelief first, it's the idiocy of the player. Can the game just kill him already?
Yeah it definitely looked hacked, it was really creepy, but as a smart gamer, I wasn't scared (or at least I tried not to be), I told myself that it was just a hacked game and there's nothing wrong with that.
*80's laugh track*
Anyways, shaking off the creeped out feeling I picked File 1 and chose Tails and when I selected and got started. The game froze for about 5 seconds and I heard a creepy pixelated laugh that sounded an awful lot like that Kefka guy from Final Fantasy before cutting to black.
Nothing screams "hacked game" quite like sound effects borrowed from other games that aren't Sonic. Shaking in your shoes yet?
The screen stayed black for about 10 seconds or more, then it showed the typical level title thing, except the simplistic shapes were different shades of red and the text showed only "HILL, ACT 1". The screen faded in and the level title vanished revealing Tails in the Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1, the music was different though, it sounded like a peaceful melody in reverse. Anyway I started playing and had Tails start running like you would in any of the classic Sonic games, what was odd was that as Tails was running along the level there was nothing but flat ground and a few trees for 5 minutes, that was when the peaceful music started to lower down into slow deep tones very slowly as I kept going.
Is he keeping a stopwatch or something? 'Cause he sure seems to enjoy timing all the awkward pauses in the game. The music itself from the video is actually pretty creepy, though it does remind me of a slowed version of "Paula's Theme" a bit.
I suddenly saw something and I stopped to see what it was; it was one of the small animals lying dead on the ground bleeding (That was when the music started to slow down), Tails had a shocked and saddened look on his face that I never saw him have before, so I had him move along, and he kept that worried look on his face.
Tails: Why aren't there any flies buzzing around? You'd think they'd have a buffet by now.
As he kept moving I saw more dead animals as Tails moved past them looking more and more worried as the music lowers and he moves past more dead animals, I was shocked to see how they all died, they looked like somebody killed them in rather gruesome ways; a squirrel was hanged on a tree with what appeared to be his entrails hanging out, a bunny had all four of his limbs torn off and a duck had his eyes gouged out and his throat slit. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw this massacre and apparently so did Tails. After a few more seconds there were no more animals and the music seemed to have stopped, I still kept Tails to continue.
Aww, Tails stumbled upon the set of Cannibal Holocaust!
After a minute passed after the music stopped, Tails was running up a hill and then he stopped, it wasn't until I saw why; Sonic was there on the other side of the screen with his back against Tails with his eyes closed. Tails looked happy to see Sonic but then his smile faltered, obviously noticing that Sonic wasn't responding to him, if not acting as if he was totally oblivious of Tails' presence. Tails walked slowly toward Sonic, and I noticed that I wasn't even moving my keyboard to make him move, so this had to have been a cut scene.
After he botched yet another attempt to get a Chaos Emerald back in Sonic 2, I wouldn't speak to Tails either.
Suddenly I began to have a growing feel of dread as Tails walked closer to Sonic to get his attention, I felt that Tails was in danger and something bad was going to happen.
I heard faint static growing louder as Tails was but inches away from Sonic and stopped and stuck his hand out to touch him. That foreboding feeling in my gut was growing stronger and I felt the urge to tell Tails to get away from Sonic as the static grew louder.
Tails won't listen to you, but Sadako will.
Suddenly in a split second I saw Sonic's eyes open and they were black with those red glowing dots, just like that title image, thought there wasn't a smile. When that happened the screen turned black and the static sound was off.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's official. Nobody could tell Sonic from Shadow or Silver, so now even Tails can't tell Sonic from Metal Sonic.
It stayed black for about 7 seconds and then white text appeared forming a message, saying, "Hello. Do you want to play with me?"
Tom must be really bored of this game if he keeps checking his watch like that.
At this point I was creeped out, I didn't want to continue with the game, but my curiosity got the better of me when I was taken to a different level with the level title now saying "HIDE AND SEEK".
Oh come on, I thought you were freaked out by Robotnik being playable in Classic!Sonic!
This time I was in the Angel Island level from Sonic 3 and it looked like everything was on fire.
Next time on Sonic Sez: "If you love somebody..."
Tails looked as though he was scared out of his wits this time. He actually looked at me and made frantic gestures to me as if he wanted to get out of the area he was in as fast as possible. I was starting to get freaked out by this...I mean Tails was actually breaking the fourth wall, trying to tell me to get him out of there.
Dunno why he'd even bother, unless he could magically reach for Tom through the TV and--O WAIT.
So I pressed down on the arrow key as hard as I could and made him run as fast as he could, a pixelated version of that creepy theme when you meet Shadow at the ARK as Robotnik from SA2 was playing as I made Tails trek through the desolate forest, trying to help him escape from whatever he was trying to run from.
Gameboy Printer? (Warning: More likely to give you nightmares than Zalgo!Sonic)
Suddenly I heard that creepy laugh again... that awful, Kefka laugh... right after 10 seconds have passed as I helped Tails run through the forest, and then I started seeing flashes of Sonic popping everywhere on the screen, again with those black and red eyes.
Tom: Kyyyyyyyyyyyyylllllllllle! Sonic's flipping double birds at me!
The music changed to that suspenseful drowning jingle as I see Sonic behind Tails slowly gaining up on him FLYING; Sonic wasn't running, he was actually FLYING! The flying pose his sprite was making looked very similar to Metal Sonic's flying pose in Sonic CD, except it was just Sonic and he had the black and red eyes again, only THIS time he had the most deranged looking grin on his face, he looked as though he was enjoying the torment he was giving the poor little fox as he gained up on him.
And here we come to the most legitimately frightening part of the pasta. The drowning theme in Sonic games always freaked me out and I'm surprised it hasn't been utilized more often in Sonicpastas. At least the ones I've heard about anyway.
Suddenly when Tails tripped (another cut scene) the music stopped and Sonic vanished. Tails laid there and started crying for 15 seconds. The scene was rather upsetting to watch and I kind of teared up myself.
In the video, the sprite of Tails crying actually looks pretty legitimate, and you kinda feel bad for him. Enjoy it while you can though, this is the last time you'll ever see normal tears in this game.
But then Sonic appeared right in front of Tails and Tails looked up in horror. Blood started to come down those blackened eyes of Sonic's as a grin slowly grew from his face as he looked down at the horrified fox, I could do nothing but watch.
Just in a split second Sonic lunged at Tails right before the screen went black, there was a loud screeching noise that only lasted 5 seconds. The text returned only this time it said "You're too slow, want to try again?" and then that god-awful laugh came with it.
Tom: Now I've seen everything. Nice knowing you! *closes game*
10 seconds later, Zalgo!Sonic breaks into Tom's house and pours wine all over him.
I was so shocked by what had happened...did Sonic murder Tails? No, he couldn't have... He and Tails are supposed to be best friends, right? Why did Sonic do that to him?
Lame revenge and/or shits & giggles.
I shook the shock off as I was brought back to the character select, the save file that had Tails was different; Tails was no longer in the box itself but in the TV screen itself, which was flickering with that red static, Tails' expression scared me, his eyes were black and bleeding, his orange fur had gone black and he had an expression of anguish on his face, Trying to ignore it I picked Knuckles next.
What's with creepypasta victims and tears of blood? Do they turn into Anne Rice vampires or something?
The laugh came again and the screen cut to black again and stayed there for another 10 seconds, this time the level said "YOU CAN'T RUN".
That's true if your name is Tavros Nitram.
I was really freaked out by now, I couldn't really tell if this was a glitch, or a hack, or some kind of sick twisted joke... or anything really. But despite my fear of what happened next, I kept playing.
You told us that already. We're not goldfish.
The next level looked much different, it had the ground of the Scrap Brain zone, but the sky background looked like the main menu; it had the dark reddish cloudy sky. But it was the music that creeped me out the most: It sounded like Giygas' theme right after you beat Pokey in Earthbound. I also noticed that Knuckles looked afraid just like Tails did, though not as much, more rather he looked a little unnerved. He broke the fourth wall just like Tails and looked as if he wasn't sure about going on, but I made him move anyway.
Poor Giygas. He's become the new Lavender Town if he hasn't been already.
He ran down the straight pathway in this dark level, and as he did the screen started to flicker red static a couple times and then that maddening laugh came again. Then after a few seconds of running I notice several bloodstains on the metallic ground, I felt a growing sense of fear again thinking something horrible is going to happen to Knuckles. He looked nauseated walking down this blood-stained road, but I still kept him going. Suddenly as Knuckles ran, Sonic appeared right in front of him with those black and red eyes and then red static appeared again, when the static vanished showing nothing but black screen with text saying "FOuNd You!", I was now scared, Sonic found Knuckles already?! What was going on?!
I'm sure he's just asking Knuckles for a spot of tea.
Anyway red static came again and then I was back to the level, Knuckles looked like he was panicking, and Sonic was nowhere to be found. And this time that high-pitched squealing from the Silent Hill 1's final boss was playing. Was this some kind of boss battle with Sonic? I hoped to God it wasn't, honestly.
Look on the bright side! At least we don't have shoe-horned cameos from Pyramid Head.
Suddenly Sonic appeared right behind Knuckles in what appeared to be pixelated black smoke, I made Knuckles turn and then punch Sonic, but Sonic vanished in black pixelated smoke before I could even land a hit, that terrible laugh went off again. Then Sonic appeared behind Knuckles again and then I made him punch again, and Sonic vanished again laughing. Knuckles was panicking even more, and even I felt like I was going crazy, Sonic was practically playing with us, he was playing a sick twisted little mind game with me and Knuckles...
Boy I never would've guessed.
Another cut scene played as Knuckled fell to his knees and clutched his head sobbing, I felt his agony, Sonic was actually driving us BOTH crazy. And then in a split second Sonic lunged at Knuckles and the screen went black with another distorted screeching noise that lasted for at least 3 seconds. Another text message appeared, "So many souls to play with, so little time... would you agree?" What the hell... Just what is going on? I started to think Sonic was actually trying to talk to me through the game... But I was too scared to think that.
'Cause possessed games have never broken the fourth wall before.
I was brought back to the main menu and this time the second file box had Knuckles in the TV screen, his red fur had darkened to a reddish grey, his dreadlocks were dripping with blood and his eyes were black and bleeding too, and he had a look of sadness on his face. I began to think that those are the actual characters trapped in those TV screens on the save files, but I couldn't believe it... I didn't want to believe it...
Aren't dreadlocks the equivalent of hair for echidnas, like quills are for hedgehogs? I can buy blood being splashed on them, but they sure as hell wouldn't be bleeding.
So I shut off the game and took a break.
Congratulations! The smartest thing Tom ever did in this story! :D *applause*
I took a nap, wish I hadn't, 'cause I then began to have the most disturbing nightmare, I was in pitch black darkness, though I was under the light given off by a lamp that hung high above my head. I could hear the cries of Knuckles and Tails nearby. They were saying stuff like, "Help us..." and "Why did you give us to him?" and "Run away, before he gets you too..."
"How dare you treat us like we're fictional characters! ...Oh wait."
Their cries died out as I then heard Sonic laugh, his laugh... it sounded a lot like the distorted Kefka laugh.
"You're a lot fun to play with kid, just like your friend Kyle, though he didn't last long..."
I was scared and looking around for the source of the voice...
"Won't be long now until you join him and all my other friends..."
I saw him walking toward me, flickering in and out in several directions...
"You can't run, kid. You're in my world now. Just like the others..."
When he grabbed me and I saw his bleeding black and red-eyed, grinning face, I woke up with a fright.
After a couple of hours I decided to continue playing the game. I don’t know why, but I had to know, I had to figure out why this was happening... So I turned on the computer, turned on the game and selected Robotnik next.
If I was Tom, I'd be calling the Ghostbusters.
I still thought that was wacky, playing as Robotnik, but anyway the level title appeared again and this time it said "...", which I found really freaky.
Attack of the Killer Ellipses!
This time I was in some kind of hallway, didn't really look like it was from any of the classic Sonic games, though it has the pixelated style; the floor was shiny and checkered, the walls were a dark greyish purple with animated candlelight’s and a few dark bloodstains here and there, and there was a dark red curtain hanging above on the top part of the screen. Every 12 seconds or so that red curtain sways very slowly, but whenever you're playing the game you can barely see it move. The music was oddly pleasant, a piano playing a rather sad yet peaceful song, but I knew better, this was the song that played in Hill act 1, only it wasn't in reverse.
Man, this is the worst Punch & Judy show ever.
Robotnik didn't look entirely nervous like Tails and Knuckles did, but he did have a suspicious look on his face as if he was just a bit paranoid. He did a little animation when I just left him standing, he turns his head to the left and then to the right at least twice and then shrugs at me, as if he has no idea where he was or what was going on. Even though I was scared outta my mind about what was going to happen, I had Robotnik continue onward. He did his usual running animation (You know, when you've beaten him at the end of a classic Sonic game and you chase him) as we continued going through the hallway.
Do the moonwalk, Robotnik!
Then I stop at a long flight of stairs leading downward, now I was nervous, even Robotnik seemed unsure of himself, though I pressed onward. As I led Robotnik down the stairs, I noticed that the walls have gotten darker and more reddish; the red torches are now an eerie blue. Then we landed onto another hallway, this one was longer than the last one (or at least it felt like it) and then we headed down another flight of stairs down, this one was much longer, took at least 1 full minute. And then I heard that horrid Kefka laugh again and then the music slowly faded until it was quiet, as it did the walls turned more dark red and the torches were a black flame now. When Robotnik landed onto the 3rd hallway, I noticed he now looked really creeped out, though he tried to hide it, I couldn't blame him, I was scared too.
Not me. I'm just waiting for his inevitable mutilation.
Suddenly, Sonic popped right in front of Robotnik the same way he did Knuckles and then red static. The red static lasted for about 15 second and then it showed me a most unpleasant image...
Oh, sorry. That would actually be scary. This is what we got instead:
The image showed a hyper-realistic of Sonic standing in the darkness where you can only see his face while his head and torso faded into black, and when I say hyper-realistic, I mean like he looked so real you could actually see the lines in his blue fur, as if you could actually feel the fur if you touched the screen. His face...oh god, he had the most horrifying smile I had ever seen. And that's saying something considering I saw that image at the start of the game.
So you need 3D glasses!
His eyes are wide and black and once again crying blood (Which also looked hyper-realistic) and there were two small glowing red dots in those black eyes staring RIGHT AT ME, as if staring into my mind. His grin was wide and demonic, it literally stretched to the sides of his face like a Cheshire Cat except Sonic had fangs, VERY SHARP fangs, much like the Werehog's teeth except more vicious-looking, somewhat yellowish and from the look of it, he had stains of blood and small bits of flesh on his lips and fangs as if he ate some animal.
Why would Sonic be crying if he's delighted with what he's doing? I know there's crying for joy, but really...
I stared at that gruesome image for a good 30 seconds, never taking my eyes off it, I felt as if he was actually looking at me, smiling at me...that face, it just took 10 seconds for it to etch itself into my brain for good.
Tom: Just ten seconds and I'm traumatized forever. Thank you, stopwatch! Where would I be without you?
Then the screen flickered with red static again 3 times, and on the 3rd time I heard the Kefka laugh, except this time it sounded distorted, demonic even...It went back to the image again except this time there was the text again though it was messed up, but it was pretty much one of the most horrifying things I looked at since I had this game...
"I AM GOD."
That's what Cyrus said before he was locked inside the Distortion World in Pokemon Platinum.
It was when I read that message while looking at Sonic when it hit me, I realized right there and then.
Tom: You know, YMMV on how creepy this image is regarding jumpscares, but this isn't as as I was hoping for.
This Sonic was a monster, a pure evil, sadistic, all-powerful, nightmarish, demented monster... and all of his victims, including Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik and possibly Kyle, are just his little toys, and the game is the very gateway into his chaotic, nightmarish world and the very Hell his victims are trapped in.
Suddenly in an actual split second I screamed as Sonic lunged at the screen screeching loudly with his mouth wide open to an unnatural length revealing nothing but a literally spiraling abyss of pure darkness before the red static came again, this time much louder and distorted, so loud that it hurt my ears, I yelled and grabbed my ears as the red static screeched for a good 7 seconds.
Put down the watch, Tom.
Then it stopped and showed nothing but black screen. As I sat there staring at the black screen, one last text came up.
"Ready for Round 2, Tom?"
The Kefka laugh, now sounding more clear as if Sonic was right behind me, played again 3 times as I looked at that text in shock and confusion.
Zalgo!Sonic: BUWAHAHAHAHAHA SEQUELS!
Then I got booted back to the main menu and this time the third save file had a TV image of Robotnik in the same, tormented state as Tails and Knuckles; Robotnik's skin turned a dull grey, his mustache drooped and had blackened, his glasses broke and blood is coming from them and he had a mere dead like expression on his face.
GEE IT'S LIKE ROBOTNIK IS DEAD.
I looked at Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik and I cried a bit, I pitied them for the agony they're going through, they were forever trapped within the game, forever tormented by that horrid hedgehog, and always will be. Then the computer shut itself off, I couldn't turn it back on no matter what I did. I sat there for maybe 25 seconds, horrified by what had just happened...
For the game version, instead of taking you to the menu, you're led to a Game Over screen with Tails, Knux and Robotnik's heads on pikes against a DOOM (I don't know which number. The first, I think?) background while the US Game Over theme from Sonic CD plays. Yet another song surprisingly not used enough in Sonicpastas, though brought up more often than the drowning theme.
Sonic is the very embodiment of evil, he tortures people who play his game in more ways than one and then when he gets bored he drags you into the game, literally drags you to Hell, where he can play with you always, as his toy....
Pressing anything on the keyboard leads you to more Sonic.EXE fanart, including the Escape key. Finally, he gives you emo poetry written in Japanese that has nothing to do with the game.
I can't get the game outta my computer. I think it's stuck in there, but at least I managed to turn it back on now.
Call a mechanic!
After I sat there for 25 seconds I heard a voice right behind me, like a whisper...
"Try to keep this interesting for me, Tom."
I turned around to see where the voice came from, and what I saw made me scream... Sitting on my bed... staring right at me...
... Was a Sonic plushie, smiling with bloodstains under its eyes.
Tom: Ugh! My little sister got in her room with her markers again! When will I ever learn to lock my door?
You know, there really ought to be creepypasta bingo cards, like with yaoi. I think I made a blackout with this pasta alone!
This post has been crossposted with Dreamwidth at http://shamanicshaymin.dreamwidth.org/53187.html. Pick your poison. Mwoiiiiiiiing~!
Remember when I made fun of the Mario 64 creepypasta? This time, Sonic gets a turn! "Sonic.EXE" sure gets circulated a lot, despite well... being cliche as hell. Zalgo'd Sonic, oooooooh, scary!
The pasta's here and the gameplay's here. I also thought this guy's playthrough was rather amusing. Onto the riffing!
I'm a total Sonic the Hedgehog fan much like everyone else,
Tell that to Mario fans during the Console Wars.
I like the newer games, but I don't mind playing the classics.
"Don't mind?" You do realize a ton of old*sk00l Sonic fans would put your head on a pike for that.
I don't think I've ever played glitchy or hacked games before, though I don't think I want to play any after the experience I had...
You, sir, are either completely sheltered or an enormous liar. Does Sonic 2006 not count as a "glitchy" game?
It started on a nice summer afternoon, I was playing Sonic Unleashed (I liked how you get to explore the towns in it) until I noticed, out of my peripheral vision, that the mailman had arrived and put something in my mailbox as usual and left.
The postman always comes twice... according to this romance novel that showed up on top of Google Search.
I paused my game to go see what I got in the mail... The only thing in the Mailbox was a CD case for computers and a note. I took it inside.
"This postman is carrying one hell of a package! Charisma Harlow has been lusting after her hunky postman Travis Walker ever since he started delivering her mail a few months ago. In fact, she’s so hot for him, she finds herself ordering things online so he’ll show up more often. When her subtle flirting doesn’t do the trick, she decides to finally get serious and seduce him outright. She orders the heaviest thing she can find so he’ll have to bring it inside her apartment, then greets him at the door in nothing but a short, sexy robe when he shows up. Travis gets the message and spends his lunch hour proving he really knows how to deliver—in the bedroom."
Narrator: Goddammit, the mailman is hitting on me again!
I looked at the note first and realized it was from my dear friend Kyle (Let's just call him that), whom I hadn't heard from in 2 weeks. I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked; it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Kyle was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry.
We shall now read the rest of the pasta in Cartman's voice.
This is what he wrote...
"Tom,
I can't take it anymore, I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you'd do it for me. I can't do it, he’s after me, and if you don't destroy this CD, he'll come after you too, he's too fast for me....
Please Tom, destroy this god-forsaken disc before he comes after you too, it's too late for me.
Wait a minute. His friend's name is protected, but not his own?
Destroy the disc, and you'll destroy him, but do it quick otherwise he'll catch you. Don't even play the game, it's what he wants, just destroy it.
Please...
Kyle"
Guess what Tom has in common with slasher film victims? If you answered that he has no common sense and that he's Too Dumb To Live, you'd be correct! :D
Well, that was certainly weird. Even though Kyle IS my best friend and I haven't seen him in 2 weeks, I didn't do what he asked me. I didn't think that a simple gaming disc would do anything bad to him, after all it's just a game right? Boy, was I wrong about that...
Some friend you are! Now I think I know why Kyle hadn't contacted you in two weeks. He was on a vacation from you and didn't bother to write while he was hanging out with the ladies in Tahiti.
ANY way, I looked at the disc and it looks like any ordinary computer CD-R disc, except it had black marker on it written "SONIC.EXE", and it was much unlike Kyle's handwriting, meaning that he must've gotten it from someone else, like a pawn shop or eBay.
See what I mean about the cliches? So far, we've got:
1. Nostalgic fanboy gets a used cart/disc of his favorite game.
2. Same copy has the label torn off and has its name scribbled on tape with marker.
3. Same copy achieved through dubious means at a pawn shop/eBay/Gamestop/creepy old guy.
4. Nostalgic fanboy is given clear warnings from previous owners not to play the damn game, which he does anyway.
5. He ominously tells us he ends up regretting it. Naturally.
When I saw "SONIC" on the writing of the CD, I was actually excited and wanted to play it, since I'm a a BIG Sonic fan.
Tom: Eh, it's Dr. Mario. Might as well get rid of it like you told me to.
Kyle: Actually, it's a Sonic game.
Tom: OH BOY, SONIC! I LOVE SONIC! I'M GONNA PLAY IT RIGHT AWAY! DUR HUR HUR
Kyle: *facepalm*
I went up to my room and turned on my computer and put the disc in and installed the game. When the title screen popped up I noticed that it was the first Sonic game, I was like "Awesome!" Because like I said earlier I liked the classics.
Tom: Oh yeah, did I mention that I liked classics? 'Cause I'm totally a classic Sonic fan. Did you know that I love classic Sonic?
The first thing I noticed that was out of place was when I pressed start, there's was a split second when I saw the title image turned into something much different, something that I now consider horrifying, before cutting to black.
I dunno, a split second is real damn fast, I doubt you'd be able to catch all the details unless you managed to pause the screen with an emulator.
I remember what the image looked like in that split second before the game cut to black; The sky had darkened, the title emblem was rusted and ruined, the SEGA 1991 was now instead SEGA 666, and the water had turned red, like blood, except it looked hyper-realistic.
Did someone open the elevator from The Shining again?
But the freakiest thing that was in that split second frame was Sonic, his eyes were pitch black and bleeding with two glowing red dots staring RIGHT AT ME, and his smile had stretched wider up to the edge of his face.
Oh sure, make it all about you. *rolls eyes*
I was rather disturbed about that image when I saw it, though I figured that it was just a glitch and forgot about it. After it cut to black it stayed like that for about 10 seconds or so.
You saw the Scary Screen for a friggin' split second. Also, I'm pretty certain glitches are usually a bunch of pixellated garbage than graphics.
And then another weird thing happened, the save file select from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 popped up, and I was like "WTF? What's this doing in the first Sonic game?", anyway, then I notice something off, the background was the dark cloudy sky of the Bad Stardust Speedway level from Sonic CD, and there were only three save files. The music was that creepy Caverns of Winter music from Earthbound, only it was extended and seemed to have been in reverse. And the image for the save file where you see a preview of the level you're on is just red static for all three files.
What freaked me out more was the character select, it showed only Tails, Knuckles and to my surprise, Dr. Robotnik! Now I was sure that something was up, I mean, how can you play as Robotnik in a classic Sonic game, for crying out loud?
Seriously? Tom has some really fucked up priorities. If he was any normal person IRL, the first thing he'd notice different about the game is not the split-second title screen of Zalgo'd Sonic, but the obviously demonic-looking menu screen with music from an entirely different console than the SEGA Genesis. Then what does he focus on next? OMG everything is blood-red? Nope. "OMG ROBOTNIK IS PLAYABLE THIS GAME IS CREEPING ME OOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!11!11!"
That's when I realized that this wasn't a glitchy game, it was a hacked game.
If anything murdered my suspension of disbelief first, it's the idiocy of the player. Can the game just kill him already?
Yeah it definitely looked hacked, it was really creepy, but as a smart gamer, I wasn't scared (or at least I tried not to be), I told myself that it was just a hacked game and there's nothing wrong with that.
*80's laugh track*
Anyways, shaking off the creeped out feeling I picked File 1 and chose Tails and when I selected and got started. The game froze for about 5 seconds and I heard a creepy pixelated laugh that sounded an awful lot like that Kefka guy from Final Fantasy before cutting to black.
Nothing screams "hacked game" quite like sound effects borrowed from other games that aren't Sonic. Shaking in your shoes yet?
The screen stayed black for about 10 seconds or more, then it showed the typical level title thing, except the simplistic shapes were different shades of red and the text showed only "HILL, ACT 1". The screen faded in and the level title vanished revealing Tails in the Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1, the music was different though, it sounded like a peaceful melody in reverse. Anyway I started playing and had Tails start running like you would in any of the classic Sonic games, what was odd was that as Tails was running along the level there was nothing but flat ground and a few trees for 5 minutes, that was when the peaceful music started to lower down into slow deep tones very slowly as I kept going.
Is he keeping a stopwatch or something? 'Cause he sure seems to enjoy timing all the awkward pauses in the game. The music itself from the video is actually pretty creepy, though it does remind me of a slowed version of "Paula's Theme" a bit.
I suddenly saw something and I stopped to see what it was; it was one of the small animals lying dead on the ground bleeding (That was when the music started to slow down), Tails had a shocked and saddened look on his face that I never saw him have before, so I had him move along, and he kept that worried look on his face.
Tails: Why aren't there any flies buzzing around? You'd think they'd have a buffet by now.
As he kept moving I saw more dead animals as Tails moved past them looking more and more worried as the music lowers and he moves past more dead animals, I was shocked to see how they all died, they looked like somebody killed them in rather gruesome ways; a squirrel was hanged on a tree with what appeared to be his entrails hanging out, a bunny had all four of his limbs torn off and a duck had his eyes gouged out and his throat slit. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw this massacre and apparently so did Tails. After a few more seconds there were no more animals and the music seemed to have stopped, I still kept Tails to continue.
Aww, Tails stumbled upon the set of Cannibal Holocaust!
After a minute passed after the music stopped, Tails was running up a hill and then he stopped, it wasn't until I saw why; Sonic was there on the other side of the screen with his back against Tails with his eyes closed. Tails looked happy to see Sonic but then his smile faltered, obviously noticing that Sonic wasn't responding to him, if not acting as if he was totally oblivious of Tails' presence. Tails walked slowly toward Sonic, and I noticed that I wasn't even moving my keyboard to make him move, so this had to have been a cut scene.
After he botched yet another attempt to get a Chaos Emerald back in Sonic 2, I wouldn't speak to Tails either.
Suddenly I began to have a growing feel of dread as Tails walked closer to Sonic to get his attention, I felt that Tails was in danger and something bad was going to happen.
I heard faint static growing louder as Tails was but inches away from Sonic and stopped and stuck his hand out to touch him. That foreboding feeling in my gut was growing stronger and I felt the urge to tell Tails to get away from Sonic as the static grew louder.
Tails won't listen to you, but Sadako will.
Suddenly in a split second I saw Sonic's eyes open and they were black with those red glowing dots, just like that title image, thought there wasn't a smile. When that happened the screen turned black and the static sound was off.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's official. Nobody could tell Sonic from Shadow or Silver, so now even Tails can't tell Sonic from Metal Sonic.
It stayed black for about 7 seconds and then white text appeared forming a message, saying, "Hello. Do you want to play with me?"
Tom must be really bored of this game if he keeps checking his watch like that.
At this point I was creeped out, I didn't want to continue with the game, but my curiosity got the better of me when I was taken to a different level with the level title now saying "HIDE AND SEEK".
Oh come on, I thought you were freaked out by Robotnik being playable in Classic!Sonic!
This time I was in the Angel Island level from Sonic 3 and it looked like everything was on fire.
Next time on Sonic Sez: "If you love somebody..."
Tails looked as though he was scared out of his wits this time. He actually looked at me and made frantic gestures to me as if he wanted to get out of the area he was in as fast as possible. I was starting to get freaked out by this...I mean Tails was actually breaking the fourth wall, trying to tell me to get him out of there.
Dunno why he'd even bother, unless he could magically reach for Tom through the TV and--O WAIT.
So I pressed down on the arrow key as hard as I could and made him run as fast as he could, a pixelated version of that creepy theme when you meet Shadow at the ARK as Robotnik from SA2 was playing as I made Tails trek through the desolate forest, trying to help him escape from whatever he was trying to run from.
Gameboy Printer? (Warning: More likely to give you nightmares than Zalgo!Sonic)
Suddenly I heard that creepy laugh again... that awful, Kefka laugh... right after 10 seconds have passed as I helped Tails run through the forest, and then I started seeing flashes of Sonic popping everywhere on the screen, again with those black and red eyes.
Tom: Kyyyyyyyyyyyyylllllllllle! Sonic's flipping double birds at me!
The music changed to that suspenseful drowning jingle as I see Sonic behind Tails slowly gaining up on him FLYING; Sonic wasn't running, he was actually FLYING! The flying pose his sprite was making looked very similar to Metal Sonic's flying pose in Sonic CD, except it was just Sonic and he had the black and red eyes again, only THIS time he had the most deranged looking grin on his face, he looked as though he was enjoying the torment he was giving the poor little fox as he gained up on him.
And here we come to the most legitimately frightening part of the pasta. The drowning theme in Sonic games always freaked me out and I'm surprised it hasn't been utilized more often in Sonicpastas. At least the ones I've heard about anyway.
Suddenly when Tails tripped (another cut scene) the music stopped and Sonic vanished. Tails laid there and started crying for 15 seconds. The scene was rather upsetting to watch and I kind of teared up myself.
In the video, the sprite of Tails crying actually looks pretty legitimate, and you kinda feel bad for him. Enjoy it while you can though, this is the last time you'll ever see normal tears in this game.
But then Sonic appeared right in front of Tails and Tails looked up in horror. Blood started to come down those blackened eyes of Sonic's as a grin slowly grew from his face as he looked down at the horrified fox, I could do nothing but watch.
Just in a split second Sonic lunged at Tails right before the screen went black, there was a loud screeching noise that only lasted 5 seconds. The text returned only this time it said "You're too slow, want to try again?" and then that god-awful laugh came with it.
Tom: Now I've seen everything. Nice knowing you! *closes game*
10 seconds later, Zalgo!Sonic breaks into Tom's house and pours wine all over him.
I was so shocked by what had happened...did Sonic murder Tails? No, he couldn't have... He and Tails are supposed to be best friends, right? Why did Sonic do that to him?
Lame revenge and/or shits & giggles.
I shook the shock off as I was brought back to the character select, the save file that had Tails was different; Tails was no longer in the box itself but in the TV screen itself, which was flickering with that red static, Tails' expression scared me, his eyes were black and bleeding, his orange fur had gone black and he had an expression of anguish on his face, Trying to ignore it I picked Knuckles next.
What's with creepypasta victims and tears of blood? Do they turn into Anne Rice vampires or something?
The laugh came again and the screen cut to black again and stayed there for another 10 seconds, this time the level said "YOU CAN'T RUN".
That's true if your name is Tavros Nitram.
I was really freaked out by now, I couldn't really tell if this was a glitch, or a hack, or some kind of sick twisted joke... or anything really. But despite my fear of what happened next, I kept playing.
You told us that already. We're not goldfish.
The next level looked much different, it had the ground of the Scrap Brain zone, but the sky background looked like the main menu; it had the dark reddish cloudy sky. But it was the music that creeped me out the most: It sounded like Giygas' theme right after you beat Pokey in Earthbound. I also noticed that Knuckles looked afraid just like Tails did, though not as much, more rather he looked a little unnerved. He broke the fourth wall just like Tails and looked as if he wasn't sure about going on, but I made him move anyway.
Poor Giygas. He's become the new Lavender Town if he hasn't been already.
He ran down the straight pathway in this dark level, and as he did the screen started to flicker red static a couple times and then that maddening laugh came again. Then after a few seconds of running I notice several bloodstains on the metallic ground, I felt a growing sense of fear again thinking something horrible is going to happen to Knuckles. He looked nauseated walking down this blood-stained road, but I still kept him going. Suddenly as Knuckles ran, Sonic appeared right in front of him with those black and red eyes and then red static appeared again, when the static vanished showing nothing but black screen with text saying "FOuNd You!", I was now scared, Sonic found Knuckles already?! What was going on?!
I'm sure he's just asking Knuckles for a spot of tea.
Anyway red static came again and then I was back to the level, Knuckles looked like he was panicking, and Sonic was nowhere to be found. And this time that high-pitched squealing from the Silent Hill 1's final boss was playing. Was this some kind of boss battle with Sonic? I hoped to God it wasn't, honestly.
Look on the bright side! At least we don't have shoe-horned cameos from Pyramid Head.
Suddenly Sonic appeared right behind Knuckles in what appeared to be pixelated black smoke, I made Knuckles turn and then punch Sonic, but Sonic vanished in black pixelated smoke before I could even land a hit, that terrible laugh went off again. Then Sonic appeared behind Knuckles again and then I made him punch again, and Sonic vanished again laughing. Knuckles was panicking even more, and even I felt like I was going crazy, Sonic was practically playing with us, he was playing a sick twisted little mind game with me and Knuckles...
Boy I never would've guessed.
Another cut scene played as Knuckled fell to his knees and clutched his head sobbing, I felt his agony, Sonic was actually driving us BOTH crazy. And then in a split second Sonic lunged at Knuckles and the screen went black with another distorted screeching noise that lasted for at least 3 seconds. Another text message appeared, "So many souls to play with, so little time... would you agree?" What the hell... Just what is going on? I started to think Sonic was actually trying to talk to me through the game... But I was too scared to think that.
'Cause possessed games have never broken the fourth wall before.
I was brought back to the main menu and this time the second file box had Knuckles in the TV screen, his red fur had darkened to a reddish grey, his dreadlocks were dripping with blood and his eyes were black and bleeding too, and he had a look of sadness on his face. I began to think that those are the actual characters trapped in those TV screens on the save files, but I couldn't believe it... I didn't want to believe it...
Aren't dreadlocks the equivalent of hair for echidnas, like quills are for hedgehogs? I can buy blood being splashed on them, but they sure as hell wouldn't be bleeding.
So I shut off the game and took a break.
Congratulations! The smartest thing Tom ever did in this story! :D *applause*
I took a nap, wish I hadn't, 'cause I then began to have the most disturbing nightmare, I was in pitch black darkness, though I was under the light given off by a lamp that hung high above my head. I could hear the cries of Knuckles and Tails nearby. They were saying stuff like, "Help us..." and "Why did you give us to him?" and "Run away, before he gets you too..."
"How dare you treat us like we're fictional characters! ...Oh wait."
Their cries died out as I then heard Sonic laugh, his laugh... it sounded a lot like the distorted Kefka laugh.
"You're a lot fun to play with kid, just like your friend Kyle, though he didn't last long..."
I was scared and looking around for the source of the voice...
"Won't be long now until you join him and all my other friends..."
I saw him walking toward me, flickering in and out in several directions...
"You can't run, kid. You're in my world now. Just like the others..."
When he grabbed me and I saw his bleeding black and red-eyed, grinning face, I woke up with a fright.
After a couple of hours I decided to continue playing the game. I don’t know why, but I had to know, I had to figure out why this was happening... So I turned on the computer, turned on the game and selected Robotnik next.
If I was Tom, I'd be calling the Ghostbusters.
I still thought that was wacky, playing as Robotnik, but anyway the level title appeared again and this time it said "...", which I found really freaky.
Attack of the Killer Ellipses!
This time I was in some kind of hallway, didn't really look like it was from any of the classic Sonic games, though it has the pixelated style; the floor was shiny and checkered, the walls were a dark greyish purple with animated candlelight’s and a few dark bloodstains here and there, and there was a dark red curtain hanging above on the top part of the screen. Every 12 seconds or so that red curtain sways very slowly, but whenever you're playing the game you can barely see it move. The music was oddly pleasant, a piano playing a rather sad yet peaceful song, but I knew better, this was the song that played in Hill act 1, only it wasn't in reverse.
Man, this is the worst Punch & Judy show ever.
Robotnik didn't look entirely nervous like Tails and Knuckles did, but he did have a suspicious look on his face as if he was just a bit paranoid. He did a little animation when I just left him standing, he turns his head to the left and then to the right at least twice and then shrugs at me, as if he has no idea where he was or what was going on. Even though I was scared outta my mind about what was going to happen, I had Robotnik continue onward. He did his usual running animation (You know, when you've beaten him at the end of a classic Sonic game and you chase him) as we continued going through the hallway.
Do the moonwalk, Robotnik!
Then I stop at a long flight of stairs leading downward, now I was nervous, even Robotnik seemed unsure of himself, though I pressed onward. As I led Robotnik down the stairs, I noticed that the walls have gotten darker and more reddish; the red torches are now an eerie blue. Then we landed onto another hallway, this one was longer than the last one (or at least it felt like it) and then we headed down another flight of stairs down, this one was much longer, took at least 1 full minute. And then I heard that horrid Kefka laugh again and then the music slowly faded until it was quiet, as it did the walls turned more dark red and the torches were a black flame now. When Robotnik landed onto the 3rd hallway, I noticed he now looked really creeped out, though he tried to hide it, I couldn't blame him, I was scared too.
Not me. I'm just waiting for his inevitable mutilation.
Suddenly, Sonic popped right in front of Robotnik the same way he did Knuckles and then red static. The red static lasted for about 15 second and then it showed me a most unpleasant image...
Oh, sorry. That would actually be scary. This is what we got instead:
The image showed a hyper-realistic of Sonic standing in the darkness where you can only see his face while his head and torso faded into black, and when I say hyper-realistic, I mean like he looked so real you could actually see the lines in his blue fur, as if you could actually feel the fur if you touched the screen. His face...oh god, he had the most horrifying smile I had ever seen. And that's saying something considering I saw that image at the start of the game.
So you need 3D glasses!
His eyes are wide and black and once again crying blood (Which also looked hyper-realistic) and there were two small glowing red dots in those black eyes staring RIGHT AT ME, as if staring into my mind. His grin was wide and demonic, it literally stretched to the sides of his face like a Cheshire Cat except Sonic had fangs, VERY SHARP fangs, much like the Werehog's teeth except more vicious-looking, somewhat yellowish and from the look of it, he had stains of blood and small bits of flesh on his lips and fangs as if he ate some animal.
Why would Sonic be crying if he's delighted with what he's doing? I know there's crying for joy, but really...
I stared at that gruesome image for a good 30 seconds, never taking my eyes off it, I felt as if he was actually looking at me, smiling at me...that face, it just took 10 seconds for it to etch itself into my brain for good.
Tom: Just ten seconds and I'm traumatized forever. Thank you, stopwatch! Where would I be without you?
Then the screen flickered with red static again 3 times, and on the 3rd time I heard the Kefka laugh, except this time it sounded distorted, demonic even...It went back to the image again except this time there was the text again though it was messed up, but it was pretty much one of the most horrifying things I looked at since I had this game...
"I AM GOD."
That's what Cyrus said before he was locked inside the Distortion World in Pokemon Platinum.
It was when I read that message while looking at Sonic when it hit me, I realized right there and then.
Tom: You know, YMMV on how creepy this image is regarding jumpscares, but this isn't as as I was hoping for.
This Sonic was a monster, a pure evil, sadistic, all-powerful, nightmarish, demented monster... and all of his victims, including Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik and possibly Kyle, are just his little toys, and the game is the very gateway into his chaotic, nightmarish world and the very Hell his victims are trapped in.
Suddenly in an actual split second I screamed as Sonic lunged at the screen screeching loudly with his mouth wide open to an unnatural length revealing nothing but a literally spiraling abyss of pure darkness before the red static came again, this time much louder and distorted, so loud that it hurt my ears, I yelled and grabbed my ears as the red static screeched for a good 7 seconds.
Put down the watch, Tom.
Then it stopped and showed nothing but black screen. As I sat there staring at the black screen, one last text came up.
"Ready for Round 2, Tom?"
The Kefka laugh, now sounding more clear as if Sonic was right behind me, played again 3 times as I looked at that text in shock and confusion.
Zalgo!Sonic: BUWAHAHAHAHAHA SEQUELS!
Then I got booted back to the main menu and this time the third save file had a TV image of Robotnik in the same, tormented state as Tails and Knuckles; Robotnik's skin turned a dull grey, his mustache drooped and had blackened, his glasses broke and blood is coming from them and he had a mere dead like expression on his face.
GEE IT'S LIKE ROBOTNIK IS DEAD.
I looked at Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik and I cried a bit, I pitied them for the agony they're going through, they were forever trapped within the game, forever tormented by that horrid hedgehog, and always will be. Then the computer shut itself off, I couldn't turn it back on no matter what I did. I sat there for maybe 25 seconds, horrified by what had just happened...
For the game version, instead of taking you to the menu, you're led to a Game Over screen with Tails, Knux and Robotnik's heads on pikes against a DOOM (I don't know which number. The first, I think?) background while the US Game Over theme from Sonic CD plays. Yet another song surprisingly not used enough in Sonicpastas, though brought up more often than the drowning theme.
Sonic is the very embodiment of evil, he tortures people who play his game in more ways than one and then when he gets bored he drags you into the game, literally drags you to Hell, where he can play with you always, as his toy....
Pressing anything on the keyboard leads you to more Sonic.EXE fanart, including the Escape key. Finally, he gives you emo poetry written in Japanese that has nothing to do with the game.
I can't get the game outta my computer. I think it's stuck in there, but at least I managed to turn it back on now.
Call a mechanic!
After I sat there for 25 seconds I heard a voice right behind me, like a whisper...
"Try to keep this interesting for me, Tom."
I turned around to see where the voice came from, and what I saw made me scream... Sitting on my bed... staring right at me...
... Was a Sonic plushie, smiling with bloodstains under its eyes.
Tom: Ugh! My little sister got in her room with her markers again! When will I ever learn to lock my door?
You know, there really ought to be creepypasta bingo cards, like with yaoi. I think I made a blackout with this pasta alone!
