Author's Notes: I'M BACK BITCHES! Technically I never left but you know what I mean! Anywho, I want to apologize if this drabble isn't up to par. I haven't written Kinzie in a while. Just the same, I hope you enjoy it!


"What's up, everybody?" Kinzie began as she glanced into the camera as an ominous game menu loomed on the computer screen. "My name is Marble Onyx and today I'm gonna be playing Slender: The Eight Pages with..." She adjusted the camera just slightly to reveal Jasper sitting next to her. "My dear precious lovely friend Jasper. Jasper, say something to the nice people."

"The only reason I agreed to be in another one of these things is because the Onyx said she'd be the one playing this time," Jasper said before facing away from the camera and grumbling. "Still can't believe I was bested by a piece of bread."

"Yeah. The I Am Bread playthrough was an interesting one, to say the least," Kinzie agreed. "And I know what you lovely viewers are thinking. 'Onyx, Onyx! This is the original Slender game! Shouldn't you be playing it with Amethyst?' Well, my duckies, that was my original plan, but then I decided that there were more than enough Slender maps for me to play one with each of the other Marble Gems and, since it's the most complex of the games, Amethyst and I will be playing Slender: The Arrival together instead." She took a breath before continuing. "I asked Jasper to be in this particular playthrough because it is exactly midnight as we are recording this and I'm...kind of afraid Slendy's gonna find me and spear me on a tree or something and, if that happens, Jasper's probably the best chance I've got for surviving." She gestured to the orange Gem's arms. "Look at those guns! Slendy won't stand a chance! And if he's anything like me, he'll be way too mesmerized by 'em to actually fight you."

Jasper quirked an eyebrow. "I thought you were into nerdy girls."

"I am," Kinzie confirmed. "Doesn't mean I can't admire gorgeous muscles when I see them."

"Well, I appreciate your admiration but you've got a game to botch," Jasper replied.

"Darn tootin'!" Kinzie chirped. "Let's get started!"

"So your only objective is to walk around this forest in the middle of the night to look for...notebook pages?" Jasper asked.

"Something like that," Kinzie replied. "You also have to avoid being captured and horribly disemboweled by the bizarre entity that's stalking you for some reason, but that's neither here nor there."

"Just another day in the life of the Marble Gems," Jasper snarked.


"Why does your character make that crunching noise as they walk? It sounds like you're walking in cereal," Jasper said as Kinzie began to move forward.

"I like walking in cereal. It's the most important floor of the day," Kinzie pointed out as she grabbed the first page from a large rock formation. "Well, let's see, it's the middle of the night, we've got a flashlight with limited battery power, we don't a map or any sort of means of guidance, and by the looks of it, there aren't any other human beings for miles. I'd say we're all set for our moonlight picnic fun-time extravaganza!"


"This game's about as fun as a screensaver," Jasper complained as Kinzie headed toward the truck and quickly nabbed another page. "I don't understand why you're so freaked out by-" She was abruptly cut off a sharp scare chord and the sound of static as the computer screen grew fuzzy. "What?! What?! What does that mean?! I didn't even see it!"

"It just means he's nearby," Kinzie pointed out, far too amused by Jasper's reaction to be scared. "I might have turned in his direction without shining the flashlight on him. Still, I'm gonna get out of here for now."

"Why are you running from it?!" Jasper demanded. "Turn back around and charge that thing!"

"Jasper, it's a game-over if he catches me," Kinzie explained.

"Doesn't matter!" Jasper insisted. "You've gotta take that freak head-on! Look him dead in the eye, charge him, and assert your dominance!"

"He doesn't even have a face!" Kinzie exclaimed. "How am I supposed to look him dead in the eyes he doesn't have?!"

Jasper shrugged. "You're the game expert. You figure it out."


Kinzie and Jasper continued their trek through the game, having been caught multiple times due to Jasper's insistence that Kinzie charge Slenderman whenever she ran into him. Jasper was also repeatedly frustrated by the player character's inability to run for more than a few seconds.

"You know, this game kind of reminds me of that Blair Witch Project movie you had on a while back," Jasper commented as Kinzie collected her seventh page and headed off to find the eighth.

"What makes you say that?" Kinzie asked.

"You do nothing for a long time and then at the end you just feel really confused and disappointed. And angry," Jasper elaborated.

"Don't act like you're not enjoying yourself a little bi-" Another loud scare chord and an immediately fuzzy screen forced Kinzie to jerk her head back toward the computer, only to see that she'd been captured yet again.

"Okay. You can't blame that on me this time," Jasper said. "That one was because you weren't paying attention."

"Fine, you play next time and then you can tell me how easy it is," Kinzie replied before turning toward the camera. "Anyway, it looks like we're out of time for this episode. If you guys liked watching us play, leave us a like and let us know. Feel free to do the same if you've got any suggestions about which of the Slenderman's Shadow maps I should play with the other Gems. This is Marble Onyx and Marble Jasper signing off! We'll see you guys next time! Stay golden!"


Ending Notes: Yay for the start of the Slender series! I also have plans to write out Jasper playing I Am Bread as well as Kinzie playing more Yandere Simulator with Lapis. If I can decide who she should play it with, I'll probably also do Undertale. And I haven't forgotten about Kinzie and Amethyst's trip to DIDNEY WORL! The only thing I can't tell you is when I'm actually going to get around to these.

If you guys have any ideas for tags or challenges you'd like to see Kinzie and the Gems do or any scenarios in their daily lives outside of Let's Plays, feel free to let me know!

Thank you guys so much for reading! As always, feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated! Geekinthepink, out!
