i. WELCOME HOME

So you've made it home without being maimed, mauled, or otherwise lost! Isn't that lovely? You've scoped out your room and everything seems to be in some strange kind of order. There's a distinctly lived in sort of feel about the whole of the house with every basic amenity afforded it, but what's this? What's that? What are these other doors beyond the usual staples of a living room, bathrooms, and the like? What, you didn't think you lived all by yourself, did you? Say "hi" to your roommate! Or perhaps they're just more family that you've forgotten you had?

ii. BUMP IN THE NIGHT

For whatever reason, you find yourself too far from home to return safely before nightfall, which leaves you with two options. You can either brave the vicious creatures that rise from the swamp when the sun sets or try in vain to hide in one of the rundown buildings scattered throughout the town. There are no locks and no more than a few panes of glass or wood between you and that which roams the streets. Or perhaps, by chance, you've lucked out and are close enough to the Library to seek shelter. For even if you are being chased, the moment any creature steps within a few feet of its walls, they burst into flames and die. How fortunate for you! Now, please mind your manners. You wouldn't want to activate the protections of the location and find yourself out on your butt with the monsters, would you?

iii. MIRROR MIRROR

It's a flickering icon that catches your attention in the centermost piece of the smooth surface that appears as some strange sort of screen. Touch it and the surface of the mirror ripples and reveals what appears to be some sort of interactive message board that appears to be going so strong. Perhaps you aren't so alone after all. Will you reach out through a post to the network?

iv. NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST

The sun has finally risen and you know what that means! Time to go exploring! With eighty percent of the town burned down or otherwise uninhabitable, there are lots of places to go wandering in search of answers and items. Too bad you're more likely to find a bunch of junk and more questions than answers, but you know what they say: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." From suspiciously human bones to broken old appliances to priceless jewelry and everything in between, if it's something someone would have in a house or shop, there's a good chance you can find it charred and-or buried somewhere around town.

Why don't you take a look around?

v. WILD CARD

Alternatively, feel free to choose your own adventure and do something else within the setting!

Sorry.

[Oops. You didn't mean to get blood on them, so it doesn't even occur to you to protest. One of your sleeves is pretty badly bloodied up already, but the other one is still pretty clean.

You're still careful as you make your way over, but you waste no time in using your clean sleeve to rub off as much blood as you can from both the liger and it's supposed master. You pause as you examine your work, because while it got most of it up it still kinda just smeared. You're filled with Determination to fix this.]

I can give your friend a bath, and clean your clothes later, if you want.

[ Annoyance smolders to the surface as the piece of shit smears the the blood making it worse than before. He's about to kick the shit away when they pull back before he can follow through. ]

Fucking scum.

[ Annoyance has turned to irritation. ]

Clean this shit up, now.

Blood's not easy to get out.

[You would know.]

How do you want me to do it?

[Becuase if the man wants it done now, you're open to suggestion.]

[ What does he look like? Some kind of shitty tutor. ]

Figure it out.

[You are not intimidated, but you get the feeling this person is stubborn. You can be stubborn too and you're filled with Determination to complete this task.

With a huff, you put your fists on your hips and give the best mature look a tiny eight-year-old can manage.]

If it's up to me then this is what I say. I'll come home with you, you take off your pants, I'll wash them, and then I'll give your friend a bath and that's how we'll do it.

[ Xanxus stares down at the piece of shit and watches as it tries to stand up on its own. Fucking trash.

Yet, after a moment, he turns around to walk away, the liger stepping after him. Better hurry, Frisk. If Bester's not looking his best in an hour you're turning to dust. ]

[Yes! You take this as a victory, and the smile returns as you decide on a little trot to keep up. Your legs are considerably shorter than your new acquaintance's, but you've been growing faster for a while now and it really pays off in times like this.]

What's your name? And his?

[Because to you, the liger's name is just as important, if not more so.]

[ His pace doesn't change, letting the kid keep up on her own. ]

That. [ Master and weapon keep on walking. ] You'll have to earn. Do a shitty job and you won't live long enough to earn it.

[ A warning. The only one he'll give. ]

[Not the first time someone's threatened to kill you and you're sure it won't be the last. But it's not fun, so you may as well point out the futility of the action. You've noticed your loads seem to work differently here, only affecting you instead of the entire timeline, so you might as well be blunt.]

You'd be wasting your time. If you kill me, I'd just come back and try again. But that doesn't mean I'll do a bad job. I'll do my best, promise!

[ That answer only gets him a sidelong glance as Xanxus continues walking down the dirt road. Whatever he thinks of that statement remains with him as he stops in front of a large building and enters. He makes his way to the top floor where he takes over an opulent suite with a high rise overview. Any unlucky inhabitants get kicked out as the Varia Boss settles himself on a French sofa while the liger leisurely walks through the suite. ]

[You were expecting to be lead back to the lines of houses where you've seen most people staying, so you're a little surprised to end up elsewhere. But, that's still pretty cool.

The only problem is a place like this doesn't have a washer and dryer, you're pretty sure. But that's fine, you'll take it one step at a time.

You just so happened to have a bottle of shampoo in your pockets, picked up while you were out and about before sunset cause it said it smelled like cinnamon on the bottle, and you figure that'll be good enough to get out a little blood from fur. So your first task is following behind the liger and catching hold of a small bit of its mane. You give it a gentle tug, not wanting to pull too hard, to try and lead it to the bathroom.]

C'mon, this way.

[ There's a low rumble from the back of its throat, a warning, as the child pulls at its mane. Bester doesn't move until he lets go then he'll step into the show-stopping bathroom. Now the question is - bath or shower?t ]
