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!

[ The moment the punch comes his way, it's caught by a gloved hand as a faint smile pulls at his mouth. ]

I'm not your enemy.

[He tenses, but at the lack of a retort, his shoulders slacken a bit.]

Ah, sorry. [He wants to appear confident despite all of this fear, so that's the sort of air he exudes, smiling a little sheepishly, politely, at the comment.] It's dark and there are strange creatures coming out of nowhere, so when I heard something approaching, I thought I'd have to strike for my life. Woops~.

[ He drops his hand, letting it rest at his side. ]

It's not the wrong idea.

[ However, the execution of it could use some polishing. ]

Next time, play to your strengths more.

[ Which isn't throwing a punch. ]

That's a rule I often play by, but there are few skills I could use in that moment, alone as I was. After all, what could a sickly idol do on his own? Unless you suppose they have some sort of love for music?

[Maybe he'll sing a nice song.] I work better from the back, ordering those in front of me to take my hits and be my shields. Unfortunately, I'm all alone, so would you mind helping me for now?

[ He's been alone for years, so the off-handed words drive deeper than they're meant too. Still, his composure remains. He's long lost the ability to feel sorry for himself. ]

I'll escort you back to the residence area.

[ It's not like he could leave him alone out here to fend for himself. ]
