LEXI KILLS

⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣⌣

“THERE’S GHOSTS WE TALK ABOUT, AND.. GHOSTS WE DON’T.”

The Grim Reapers come to collect your debt. The Grim Reapers come to collect everything, really. From bones to tears, from souls to fears. Everything finds its way back to the Earth is what people like to say, but to the living? To the living, who finally met their ends, and stayed dead, everything finds its way back to him. Naturally, people whisper bad things about him. Misery, despair, bad luck, of course- death. Nobody really associates him with anything more than the end of the line. The Grim Reaper doesn’t care. Doesn’t slow down to hear the chit-chat, doesn’t bother responding to the rumors. He could. He’s an ethereal being, he’s completely capable. But he’s above that. As vile, and dirty, and un-steady as people want him to be or he may actually be, he’s better than that. So is Lexi, isn’t she?

A pebble tumbled in front of the entrance to a grave yard, The Wind nudging it just a bit closer to enter. Of course, as stubborn as the Earth is, the pebble stayed. Lexi, did not. The blonde stared at the ground with mild interest before putting one foot into the other, entering the marked territory. She didn’t have much of a reason, no doubt. Didn’t have a reason when she first came here. But alas, there’s comfort zones that are certainly peculiar to most. Certainly, it’s fitting for a peculiar, rotten girl.

It clears her mind and lets her forget about all troubles at hand, The Operator included. Here, the afterlife protects her. Lexi does not need to explain that to anyone but herself.

MY TAKE ON LEXI KILLS

Her and the Grim Reaper have never interacted. Not outrightly. But the Grim Reaper watches, and observes, and finds himself looking over a living creature. He wonders if she’s excited for death, if she’d ever be stupid enough to try and summon him. Sally sometimes delivers messages to Lexi- the little girl proclaiming herself as the “right hand man.” It's always.. vague. Weird. Rocks, bones, shredded paper with nothing written in a glass bottle. ..Lexi doesn’t bother speaking her questions aloud to anyone. She sees the Reaper as more than his job. Sees him as a cycle, inevitable, a soul, a seal and deal. He’s more than bones in a raggedy black cloak, and Lexi forever respects that.

If I had to assign her three mythical creatures, the Phoenix, the Ammit, and the Basan. The Phoenix, representing renewal, rebirth, and resurrection. They stray far from death, especially the resurrection part- but it still aligns. Not to only center Lexi’s character around death, but cycles were hinted at in the first paragraph of Lexi’s story part one- “go to school, graduate with mediocre grades, get a mediocre job, live a mediocre life, and die.” “slowly you decay, skin from flesh, flesh from muscle, muscle from bone. crowd pick at your eyes, flies lay young underneath ur fingernails, and the earth reclaims what it has lent to you.” ending the first paragraph with “once again.” I like to center Lexi’s character around cycles, though barely mentioned or.. being mentioned once, as far as I’m aware. I like to center Lexi’s character as breaking the cycle. her life isn’t mediocre- she’s a murderer, living with ethereal entities or just.. beings that wouldn’t be able to be understood by the sane human brain. she hates it, yes, but she DIDN’T get that mediocre job. Didn’t live that mediocre life. Her life is everything but regular, and I think this miserable path just strayed her from being different than anyone else. “YOU MUST BREAK THE CYCLE TODAY, OR THE LOOP WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW.” putting a character who made something of themself, though fairly bad, and putting them with beings that symbolize things inevitably being the same.. The Ammit represents guilt, punishment, and the weight of our choices. The devoured of the dead- eats the heart of those unworthy. Lexi has a guilty conscious for her so-called “wasted potential”, (which made me pair her up with the Basan, representing hidden anger, silent passion, and un-noticed power.) Feeling as if she’s let others down, even if those feelings are deeply suppressed and buried, like she could’ve been much more than this. Her childhood has made her unable to see that though this life is miserable, this life still does outshine all the rest. She is the odd one out. She is the perfect one out.

Lexi lives in the Appalachian Mountains. Her rebellious nature against the Operator led her to, obviously, wanting to stay far away from any reminders of her life. That being said- and previously said, “people with close relations to the Operator live in these mountains due to his birth being here,”- as a proxy, she MUST live there if not the Slendermansion. A very known one, at that. Of course, it’s considerably better than living in that realm- in a crowded fake mansion. In an illusion. Still, Lexi would have definitely chosen something else. Maybe Maryland, West Virginia.. Maine. She’d always wanted to live in Maine- the one thing she was certain about as a kid, when she’d planned nothing else out for her life. ..It’s fine. This is fine. Lexi is trying to live the best she can, and she can blend in with the crowd. She’s fine until the static burns into her mind and she’s out on another mission.

I, personally, can’t change much of her relationships. They’re all perfect- and do line up with the characters in my AU. Whether it be for the same reasons or not. However, I can add on. Lexi and Tobias don’t hate each other- strong dislike, yes, but for their own reasons outside of the Operator. (if I recall, proxies are made intentionally to hate each other in creator’s au) Lexi has very LITTLE respect for Tim and Brian, but it’s still notably there- and more evident for Tim. Sally and Lexi are actually pretty close, or as close as Lexi will let herself get to the little girl. Sally is the closest being to ever be towards the Grim Reaper, and Lexi.. well- I went into a rant just earlier. Their friendship doesn’t just consist of death, it’s about meaning, silent conversations, and the direct change of pace and un-intentional comfort right after. Being with Sally heals an inner child.. as bratty as that little girl can be. Helen and Lexi are.. actually, already written so perfectly. Ben and Lexi are fun to explore, like elder sisters with annoying ass middle school younger brothers but they don’t EXACTLY see each other as family. (lexi just finds BEN.. a dickhead. stop I just realized how many people dislike/hate BEN STOPAPO WE(as in YOU and ME)NEED TO TURN THAT AROUND) and so so SO much more. I think I’d be here forever if my brain could figure out all my thoughts at once.

FINE. Call her weird. But she watches Jude from a distance. Lexi makes sure they’re alright, makes sure they’re fine.. leave when Jude starts visibly mourning her sudden disappearance. Lexi’s right here, out in public, if she could just.. she’s chasing false dreams, anyway. Whatever. Anybody who may remind her of Jude she grows distant, paranoid, just… don’t. Really, really don’t.
