HALLOWEEN PLOT - Start - Will o' the Wisp

[plot_time]

*After two solid days of rain and wind, the storm has finally abated. The sky no longer looks quite as dark and threatening, although light grey clouds remain hanging over the area. The yellow-green sparks that you may have seen leaping across roofs and between the clouds have vanished, as well.*

*Perhaps, though... was that one you just saw out of

Somewhere Around Town

[thegraywhatsit]

The storm may have lasted only two days instead of three, but Rem still sensed something strange in the air. This required investigation, no matter what. This was the exact reason he was wandering through town, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

Of course, Rem could fall into that category quite easily. Instead of a tall, gray man walking down the street, there was a large black housecat trotting down the sidewalk. A necklace with a red gem hanging around his neck, which might attract attention, but he didn't care. He was just so... curious! Now what was that old adage...?

Seek, and ye shall find?

For, as luck might have it, a small yellow-green mote of light danced by in the street. It flitted a few feet off the ground, bobbing up and down occasionally as it followed its ambling path.

derp lack of edit power sucks

Rem's white eyes went wide at the sight of the mote. Now that was what he was looking for! He trotted over to it and stood up on his hind legs, reaching up to bat at it with one paw.

Don't I know it. ^^;

For a moment, the ball of light hung just out of reach. However, when his paw came up, the light darted closer suddenly, brushing against it.

If Rem had breath, it would have been taken away. Suddenly it felt like he had all the answers about this town's current strangeness. He knew where to go, and he knew what he had to do. How he acquired this knowledge didn't matter - but now the motes no longer interested him.

Blinking a few times, Rem darted off down another street, seeking out an abandoned house that he knew would be there.

The light zipped off after him, zigzagging along. Hey! Wait for me!

After a journey along twisting streets, going further and further from the center of town...
