“Explain something to me. This town...what exactly happened? I mean, I walk in, and all of a sudden my Brand starts bleedin’. Then, everyone here is tryin’ to kill me. They were annoying at worst, but still.
“Their blood went bad.” A BOOT PLANTED FIRMLY on the ribcage of the carcass before her for purchase, the Hunter heaves the Saw Cleaver out from where it had been buried in its neck. Cold blood spatters across her legs but she pays it no outward heed, ignores the THRILL that passes through her at the sight of it. She does not bother to make a move to wipe or flick the blade clean of the macabre memento.
“It drove them mad.” She continues, sharing what little history she has pieced together from cryptic clues left scattered amongst the ravaged hell the city has become. “Turned them into beasts. The hunters rose up to slay them…” Trick weapons and firearms, arcane arts and quicksilver bullets… so many tools of the Hunt. But by now, she is the only one left to use them. The lone DREAMER left within the nightmare. “Until they turned themselves.”
TRAPPED. They are, the both of them, trapped here, within this night. Two OUTSIDERS, aberrant and unwelcome- and the city makes sure to never allow them to forget that. “This place is cursed. The blood is a plague… and their gods are HORRORS beyond reckoning.”
And all of it- each and every last beast and abomination and nightmare- is to be her PREY.
