Chapter 02: Mayfield's Hunger Games

[wyvernjustice]

[A: 1336 Benny RoadCormag woke up like what he found to be the routine in this place. Just walking downstairs to see whatever his not!parents were doing. Today was different though. There seemed to be some sort of a parcel addressed to him. That never happened, he was always too young and unimportant to get a message. Well- it's not like he'd been

action!

[tictickboom]

[She knew something was wrong when she woke up. She knew there was something really wrong when she went to blow something up to release the pent-up anxiety from knowing something was wrong. So she did what any paranoid, drugged super hero would do.

She stood in the kitchen, every single knife or sharp pair of scissors in the home spread across the counter before her. And she took time to sharpen every single one of them. She had her gun from the hardware store too of course, resting close within her reach. Just in case.

And that's where Cormag can find her now!]

[It didn't take him very long to find his not!mom with all the knives. What fortunate timing on his part.]

Did you get a letter too?

[tictickboom]

[That would be a reasonable explanation, wouldn't it be? She barely glances over her shoulder at him.]

No, but that would explain what all the ☠☠☠☠ ☠☠☠☠ phone calls are about.

[wyvernjustice]

[He's eying the knives.]

How many people got these letters?

[tictickboom]

Like ☠☠☠☠ I know. Some ☠☠☠☠ started calling at 4 AM though. [Tabby focuses on the important things in life.]

[wyvernjustice]

[Now he goes to pick up the knife.]

I need to borrow some of these.

[tictickboom]

[She steps back from the counter, allowing him to.]

Take as many as you want. Just leave the gun, and the shovel in the garage. Those are mine.

[wyvernjustice]

Gun...? [That didn't matter, he already took what seemed to be the sharpest knives and put them in his pockets.]

I appreciate it.

[tictickboom]

Don't ☠☠☠☠ stab yourself. [There might have been the slightest hint of concern in her voice- but her face sure doesn't show it, as she leans back against the kitchen wall.]

I'm going to meet up with my teammates in a little bit. Figure stuff out. ☠☠☠☠ save the day. Kill ☠☠☠☠. Whatever. You need anything before that?

[wyvernjustice]

[He wasn't so perceptive, but he noticed a bit of caring in the last question that she gave.]

I'll be fine. Stay safe, alright? [He was a little nervous. Sure, he was used to killing other soldiers, but something about this situation seemed a lot weirder. A lot more abnormal.]
