Carmen’s interested in archaeology, but she’s never heard of a place becoming overgrown ruins overnight. How could the city have fallen apart in such a short time? She’s been using a wrench she picked up to get through the vines, as well as a weapon in a pinch. What she couldn’t have been prepared for, however, is a figure coming toward her-- through the plants, as if they aren’t even there!

“What the-!” She instinctively points the wrench at him; could this guy be with VILE? How did he do that?

“Sorry, you startled me. But how did you pass through the vines like that?”

It hadn’t taken long to realise there was no hidden abode or allotment for her to discover and they had quite literally dumped her on the beach. It’s not that she was offended- beyond the offence cause by this entire scenario but that was a digression that had become a constant background buzz- she spent most of her time in the water, it was simply the tone.

So she’d heaved herself around the area in some search for answers or entertainment and potentially found one of those at least. A large dome like structure which had attracted her with the sound of music. Well if you found yourself in another world why not sample some of its culture? Things couldn’t get much worse. 

Is what she’d thought before being told she’d need to purchase three tickets to account for her bulk. Ridiculous! She could barely afford two! The situation was as humiliating as it was infuriating and she would have pulled the clerk through the glass where it not for the number of people around. Turning to leave after a minor scene she almost slithered right into the next in line, a rather tall and well built- if aged- human.

“Oh I wouldn’t bother, they’ll rinse you for everything you have.” Was he... Hovering? A magic she couldn’t detect or more of the technology here? Curious. “I’m sure there’s better entertainment elsewhere. Are you new here? May I ask you your name?”

The young brunette seemed to be minding his own business amidst the chase the rest of the city was in. That didn’t seem to be any notable behavior, except dark alleyways were no ideal places for a casual walk. He’d been following someone from a distance, you see – some meters ahead was an NPC stumbling his way through the path.

“I’d take care in walking too close, if I were you.” Goro looked at the new arrival from the corner of his eyes, a smile both welcoming and sharp gracing his features. “He would attack you upon sight.”

just hang on, okay?

The god looked at him curiously. What a strange being... Nevertheless, their injury, though minor to them, was enough to have them complying. It was a gash from an unfortunate fall, and while it wouldn’t kill them, it certainly stung.

They eyed the scientist curiously, tilting their head. Why was he helping them? They hadn’t even met before!

District alpha was not the part of the city that Lion remembered, however vaguely. They were lost almost immediately, and trying to use their almost-familiar cellphone computer didn’t do much to help. Were there always this many dimly-lit caves, populated by moving shapes Lion didn’t want to be able to see clearly? Was this what “seedy underbelly” meant? The first humanoid figure they spotted seemed like a godsend. Lion rushed forward to take shelter next to this stranger and his muscular arms.

“Excuse me, but do you know the way to the lighter part of the city? I don’t think I’ve ever been here before, and it’s... slightly intimidating.”

While he didn’t  generally bother to deal with human foods, he figured it wasn’t a terrible idea to try them.

Standing outside a shop that sold a variety of human sweets, he wondered what exactly they tasted like, and if they brought any sense of sating to his hunger. He highly doubted it, but he was willing to try.

The only issue being he didn’t exactly have any money.

Grabbing a hold of the nearest bystander, he made sure they weren’t able to get away. Turning the man in a blue jumpsuit towards him, he simply pointed at one of the treats in the display.

“I have no money,”

“Would you mind purchasing that for me?”

Get Into the Spirit

His life had become a living hell.

Why did it have to be this time, this place...?

Why, of all the people in the world, did it have to be her, and why, of all the days in the year, did it have to be now...?

He thought he could escape. Just one year, just once...

But not even being kidnapped by the Hive could help him...

‘Happy Halloween, Siggy!” she said with a tip of her witch hat, amidst the groans and horrible shrieks of who knows what she had put into his apartment.

Webs lined his home, too many to even move properly... the blood on the walls looked a little too real, the way she had managed to fix up an ever present fog amongst the floors was both impressive and concerning, and all the while he couldn’t help but worry about what she put into the bathroom this year.

Why... why did it have to be now?

It was like a bad dream, every year... no matter where he was, she managed to find him. She, she really was a demon.

“Do you like it?” she said, picking up a skull off his coffee table and posing with it against her face. “I tried to work hard to make sure our favorite time of the year was special, even if we’re not at home.”
