[ below are made up notes to add 'story' to the channel and it's themes. everything you see here was made by ME, TheVintagePotato ]
Crytpid: NightShade
Original Home: Unknown- they seem to be all over.
Base: The Potato Patch
[ above are my notes ]Night 1:
We set up base deep within the forest after hearing rumors about
mischievous little creatures sneaking into people's homes.
They seem to be scavengers. So far there are no signs of them.Night 3:
After a few days of hunting for these cryptids, a few started to sprout around the camp!! Unknown potato-like leaves have popped up around the base. I swear I hear faint giggling coming from the ground.Night 5:
These creatures have started crawling out of the ground!! They are absolutely adorable!! They like snacks... I should leave a note for Zeph to hide the goldfish crackers.Night 10:
More keep sprouting?! I can't keep track. They seem to follow us around. I'm debating about making this camp our permanent base. It's quiet, hidden in a forest & these little critters like to bring us trinkets and old tech. It could prove useful!Night 30:
These new cryptids are harmless, but they have a very unpredictable side. Lovely one moment, then like a switch they're chaotic as all hell.I've decided to name this place "Potato Patch" Considering the potato-like shape of these Cryptids, I think it's fitting. We agreed to call them NightShades to keep with the theme. Below, I'll make a list of the NightShades traits I've discovered. [ more will be added when more information is discovered ]β’ They Sprout randomly. Numbers are in the thousands now, but I cannot keep track.
β’ They find it amusing when I play games with them. They like the "Bean-Boozle" one a lot. Note: They enjoy chatting with me for hours & yet mock me if I talk TOO long...
β’ Many of them are nocturnal. They do a lot of their scavenging at night.
β I followed them around for a whole week. They seem to sneak into people's homes and take forgotten tech and vintage trinkets.
β They also enjoy moving people's things around... It must be their mischievous nature.
β The NightShades enjoy taking snacks and goodies as well.
β’ We have a bot in the camp to help control the more rowdy bunch. I named it 'MisterBones_Bot'
β’ They seem to argue with it more than listen to it. However, I did program it to make dad jokes. The NightShades seem to enjoy that.
They sleep underground & crawl out when they want to say hi or cause mischief.
β’ A group of them tend to stay within the patch and hang out, I enjoy their company! I've noticed a few have knives in their 'heads'. The other NightShades seem to acknowledge these spuds as 'authority' figures!
β’ I gave little badges to the ones that go out and scavenge... helps me keep track of them.
β’ Some of the more rambunctious ones have been 'scavenging' items from crypts & graves. I gave them skull stickers for their badges- this way I know which ones to keep my eyes on... they seem more unpredictable.
β’ There are a few that deliberately look for more haunted items. These prove very useful for our paranormal investigation! I gave them ghost stickers for their badges! Helps me know which ones are willing to do more dangerous work.
β’ the ones with the knives in their heads tend to hide in basements a lot, I'm not sure why. They're convinced I've sent them down there despite my pleading for them to leave.
β’ Sometimes when they're scared they scream "BALLSmic!!" and scurry off. I can't help but feel as though I'm being mocked...
β’ They've grown a love for Mothman!! I find it adorable... mothman seems annoyed as they consistently wake him up trying to play. He created a game with them--> If they bring him a specified amount of coffee/items [often depending on his mood] then he'll wake up and try to bother ME instead; they seem to get a good laugh at that. If I don't do as Mothman says, the NightShades start getting rowdy. However, if they don't bring him enough items by the time he counts to 3 minutes- he gets mad and throws them... yes... throws them. Straight up... into the sky... They tend to stay up there for 5 minutes or so while the others are forced to stay silent for 2 minutes. You'd think being flung into the sky like that would make them stop pestering him... but... I think a few of them enjoy it. Either way, mothman gets new items for his collection and gets to pester me, OR he lets out his annoyance by tossing them. They all seem to have fun with this new system.
Crytpid: Mothman
Original Home: Point Pleasent, West Virginia
Base: The Potato PatchNotes:September 24th
We found the Mothman!! He's real! I cannot believe it!
We were searching the area- hunting down this legendary beast deep in the forest of West Virginia. During our 7th night, a screeching sound echoed throughout the forest. We darted back to our camp to see a 7-foot-tall shadow looming above us. It stood in front of the campfire, the light desperately tried to seep from behind the creature only for its jet-black coat to prevent such a thing. Haunting red eyes peered into ours.Fear struck our bones as this shadow stretched its wings and completely swallowed the light from the campfire. A small halo of light managed to outline the shadow's antennas."Would you like some coffee?" words crawled out of my throat before I could process what I said. The shadow coked its head to the side. With one swift motion, it crouched down. What I presumed to be its knees tucked close to its chest. Its wings draped to the ground, like it was wrapped in a large blanket.
The creature gestured to the fire where the Kettle and French press sat.Stunned it served what I now know to be the Mothman coffee. Who knew that's all he wanted?over 1 year later//Mothman's stayed close to us since that night... I presume it's the coffee keeping him around, however, I think he's found a love for the little NightShades. I don't think he will admit to it... however, they do feed his obsession with collecting old antiques and objects. He also gets a kick out of being worshipped by these little cryptids.... and myself...
He seems to have made friends with another creature that goes by the name "Blood God." This friend of his seems to also have a bizarre cult-like following, their leader being Xtraliana. They all tend to sacrifice themselves willingly to him. Mothman and BloodGod seem to get a good giggle at this.
Some amazing Teams I have the honor to be apart of!
COMING SOON!
