7 [voice]: Complications Arise For Czeslaw Meyer When Fairy Tales Are True In The Worst Way

[tiny_schemer]

[A small, frightened voice, echoing off of the hard walls of an enclosed space: Czeslaw is trapped after sirens, and currently taking refuge at a bus stop.]

I - I saw something out there in the darkness. Something bad. A creature with hollow eyes and big teeth and a big, round head. I b-barely escaped with my life

Did the man also appear to be a creature of the Darkness?

[tiny_schemer]

No, that was the strange thing. I thought he was a real man, that's why I stopped in the first place.

He was carrying a sword, it was all very strange. M-maybe I was just dreaming...

[oooh_specimens]

Interesting. What did the sword look like?

[tiny_schemer]

[sharply:] It looked like a sword, I guess! A great big pointy one, like a hero in a book.

[oooh_specimens]

Tch, no need to get fussy.

What do you suppose the man was doing with the creature?

[tiny_schemer]

I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy but it seemed like they were connected. Maybe the creature was possessing the guy or something.

[oooh_specimens]

In what way did they seem connected?

[tiny_schemer]

Well, for one thing, they were together in the darkness. When the man started approaching me, the other thing showed up with it.

[oooh_specimens]

And then what happened?

[tiny_schemer]

I saw it and I ran away and hid in a bus shelter.

[oooh_specimens]

That's not very useful to me. Can't you remember anything more specific?

[tiny_schemer]

[deadpan]

No. I was really scared.

[oooh_specimens]

[Muttered:]

Feh. Useless.

[tiny_schemer]

Are you some kinda scientist, sir?

[oooh_specimens]

Tch. Why else do you suppose I am interested in what happened to you?

[tiny_schemer]

You might've just been curious. I would've preferred that.
