[Envy] Instruction for a Life

[jmlevitt]

A new time rising up on us.

He slipped away while they were fighting, while the mad pirate shot at them. He was injured. Slow. Exhausted. Bringing them down. Burdening them. He was sure of it. Better to leave. Better to hide. Nobody else to slow down with his pain and his tired.

It's all going to shit.

Another cycle end and another cycle begun.

And into this scene from another direction, without a hazmat suit or anything, comes a figure in yellow, looking about with a look of growing apprehension. Hastur is finding this place stranger and stranger, and he really does not like it.

He's human-looking again, and clean, but his wild look and tattered robes do not do anything to dispel reminders of The King In Yellow at all.

Gabriel is with him, also without a suit. He keeps up a thin teke shield which keeps out the spores for now. Habit.

"I think we're safe if we don't interact with any of them," he's saying to Hastur as they get closer. "They seem harmless, but everything so far has had a dark side." And hey, he sounds sane.

[Why wouldn't you want to talk to them, though? It might be helpful to know what to expect from the people that live here.]

You think so? They look like zombies, only without the rot.

[Never mind that. Look ahead. Isn't that Kint, from the Nexus?]

And so it is. With the man who had been selling food [is he part of this, you think? he and his wares to attract the un-a-ware?].

[Stay on your toes, Gabriel.]

Of course.

To Hastur he asks, "Do you think they might have something to eat? My stomach's a hollow stone."
