[part one]

two hours later, you're home-free. and, apparently, so is tim; out there, walking ahead of you, in the cold of night.

still in the midst of shuffling his jacket back on, breath out in white puffs and a slight pink blooming on the tip of his nose. "didn't know my roommate's a murderer,"

his gait slows, and he turns his head a bit to look at you heading his way. "innocent. had nothin' on me." he defended, bags under his eyes and a stray hand through frazzled hair.

you crack a tired smile, "sure," then stuff your hands into your pockets. "least you could do was give me a heads up, yeah?"

tim doesn't smile back. but he looks down at the asphalt, and a heavy breath leaves his nose. "sure," tone amused.

in the distance, a familiar face waves tim over. looks like that friend of his that passes by once in a while. what was his name again?

"uh," tim hesitates, as the two of you come to a halt in-front of the subject of interest. "this is brian." he awkwardly introduces.

"heya" smiles a little gap between brian's front teeth. "need a ride?"

you throw a glance in the direction of the truck behind him. seen it before, obviously, when brian came to pick tim up once. "if you'll have me?" you say, eyes settled back on brian.

the three of you climb in, engine letting out a little huff. "sorry about... that." tim starts.

"the, uh, questioning." he clarifies. doesn't turn to look at you, there in the back-seat. but his voice is clear, and you could tell he meant it. at least you think he does.

"it's fine." you wave him off, looking ahead at the road, a stupid joke at the tip of your tongue,

"just don't get caught next time."

you smile when you hear brian bark out a laugh, smile even wider when tim groans, the fabric of his jacket noisy as he runs a hand down his face.

[tencorpses]

timothy wright has been accused of murder. boo fuckin' hoo.

listen, let's be honest here: you don't have the time for this, "as i said, i don't know much about him." and you can't say you're fond of the police.

y'see, it's at about 23:09 when the cops knock at your door and drag you out for questioning. as his roommate, surely you must know *something*, right? "he been actin' odd?" how the hell would you know?

"what's his schedule like?" you grit your teeth and take as subtle a deep breath as possible in these conditions. he's your roommate, but he might as well be a ghost haunting the cheese in the fridge that disappears and reappears periodically.

"look," you start. hard to be polite when you're tired and barely back from work. couldn't sit down for a second after your shower before they'd shown up, knocking down the damn door like they knew you personally.

"he's my roommate, yes, but we barely know each other." you see one of the detectives start to open his mouth to argue, "he isn't home often, and i've got work all day."

"can't expect me to notice or know anything when i see him once in a blue moon." you're barely done with your sentence and they're already getting up. "alright, sit tight." the pair grunt, so you assume they'll be talking to him next.

if tim wanted to kill a guy so bad, least he could've done was warn you about how shitty being questioned is; prepare you or-

scratch that -- least he could do was not get caught, for fucks sake. can't someone spend *one night* in peace after a difficult work day?

you sigh, sprawling your arms on the table. this is gonna take a while.

Where are they now?

MDNI

Where the Creeps would be if they had never met Slenderman.

Characters: Tim Wright, Brian Thomas, Tobias Roger, Jeffery Woods, Jane Arkensaw, Nina Hopkins, Jack Nyras.

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

Tim Wright/ Masky

Co-owner of a small home repair business

Tim owns a repair company with Brian. He focuses on the plumbing and exterior side of repairs. He and Brian live together to cut costs. While he's not everyone in town's friend, he's the guy everyone trusts. Tim will tell you the truth no matter what.

"Man, I have no idea why there's so much water damage!" "It's because you haven't cleaned your gutters in 20 years, Jared."

He's a bit too blunt for most people, but that's what makes him so trustworthy.

Brian Thomas/ Hoodie

Co-owner of a small home repair business

He owns the repair business with Tim but focuses on the electrical and interior side of repairs. Even though he owns less of the company than Tim, he's still the face of it. Brian handles most of the customer interactions and leaves Tim to handle the finances. The company is located in a small town, so Brian's also the guy everyone calls to use his truck. Moving out? Brian helps load and carry boxes to your new apartment. Need a lift? He'll be there in 5. He's made friends with essentially everyone in town.

Toby Rogers/ Ticci Toby

Service dog trainer

 After years of abuse, Toby had a lot of stuff to work through. Eventually, he was able to get a therapy dog to support him. A friend from the center told him about training them, and the rest is history. He's very awkward around other people, especially his coworkers, but the dogs don't care. That's why he loves them so much. He is also a major help in finding good homes for failed service dogs. Toby is always able to show the lovable parts in each weird quirk the dogs develop. If he were more personable, he thinks he would've made a great salesman.

Jeffery Woods/ Jeff the Killer

Butcher

Now I know this might be cliché, but hear me out. Jeff was a troubled teen, and after a while of doing fuck all, he was forced to get a job, or he'd be kicked out. A local butcher took pity on the kid and let him have a position there. Jeff found that he actually really enjoyed the job, though he would never admit it. 15 years go by, and somehow he took over the shop when the previous owner retired. He's not charismatic and can be very rude, but he's got the best cuts in town.

Jack Nyras/ Eyeless Jack

Family medicine doctor

After getting out of med school and residency, Jack settled in a nice primary care facility and became a family medicine doctor. He's straightforward but caring. He's the doctor who will tell you exactly what issues you do have, and what you could have in the future. He also has a giant soft spot for children. He's known some of his patients since they were infants. Speaking of which, He is extremely intense about infant care. Anti-vaxxers beware of this man; he will tear you a new one. Even when his patients outgrow infancy, he still treats their care with the same intensity.

Jane arkensaw/ Jane the Killer

Taxedermist

Jane, even when she was a child, loved taxidermy. She'd stare at her grandma's stuffed squirrels for hours. Her mother had to drag her away from any roadkill because Jane insisted she could "make it pretty." It was only natural for her to go into that business. Her favorite commissions are a customer's deceased pet. She always pays extra attention to those requests. But Jane detests customers who kill to get the animal taxidermied. She wants her business to be ethical and caring when it comes to preserving these creatures. So people who proudly display their unneeded kill disgust her.

Nina Hopkins/ Nina the Killer

Streamer/ cosplayer

Nina started her online presence as a young teen, and after a lot of drama (and username switches), she was able to turn her hobby into a career. She mostly does gaming, but she'll occasionally do a stream for viewers to see her build part of a cosplay. Definitely a huge fan of alternative styles for cosplay (paper wigs, Kandi accesoriess/clothes, etc). She gets invited to be a guest at conventions a lot, mostly as a streamer. Though her favorite is when she gets invited to be a guest cosplayer.

tim is... a little concerning. he's your co-worker, you see him often. hard not to notice some of his... mannerisms, for lack of a better word?

he's nice enough. real helpful, if a little huffy. loves his complaining, that one, and there's plenty to complain about at a post office.

he'd go to the back to put away a package, talking about how 'even lumber ain't used to be this heavy ', and that 'people always want to mail the most ridiculous stuff '. but he does his part, and you really couldn't ask for someone better.

but... well. sometimes he'd come back from his smoke-break a little off. eyes a fraction wider, bit more scatter-brained, hands clumsy and awkward as they sift through stray paperwork. you used to ask if everything was alright, but eventually learned there isn't much of an answer coming out of him. if he even heard you, in the first place.

sometimes, he'd look out the window on his side of the wall and suddenly bolt up... before looking over to your side and... slowly, but surely, sit back down.

you didn't push. sure, tim was friendly enough; real nice guy! but you can't exactly say you're close, nor that he'd appreciate being pestered. but you played it off, for his sake.

cracked a joke whenever the window did something or other to his psyche, going on about his phobia of windows. aaa, so scary! haha... maybe you oughta switch places if the window bothers him? but he'd awkwardly laugh, and wave you off in place of looking at a receipt he forgot to throw away.

you'd bring him a water, or a coffee, or some other such thing to distract him after a smoke-gone-wrong. anything to keep him busy, keep him... alive? for lack of a better word. maybe expand your vocabulary, while you're at it. tell him a new word you learned, maybe he'd scoff or use it real funny.

but, again, timothy is sweet. he's alright, not half-bad. one good joke away from a bad customer interaction. you only wish he'd stop smoking. bad for him, what with that damn persistent cough of his.

can’t have a husband i’ll shoot him

[tencorpses]

remember? that he forgets things?

[tencorpses]

in the back corner of a too-bright diner, between night and the edge of dawn. somewhere in the middle-of-nowhere, sit two birds on a wire.

the lieutenant had long finished eating. scarfed down his meal in round-about four bites. scarred mouth and a mess of teeth. quick and efficient. can't imagine how he deals with that stubble under the mask for so long.

now, he's waiting on you to finish yours. staring, really. 'nothin' in particular', he says, but the toe of his boot lines-up against yours under the table. the occasional tap there, bump here. adrenaline still playing somewhere, under all that gear.

soft look doesn't go unnoticed under the loud buzzing of the over-head lights, nor does the lower guard, or the little huffs. you're their medic, after all.
