The sky hangs heavy, stained a bruised violet, threaded with pulsating black cords that throb like exposed arteries. The streets lie unnaturally quiet, broken only by the wet, rhythmic slide of living ooze across shattered pavement. A city that once glittered now twists beneath a smothering shroud of tar and malevolence. Fractured lampposts flicker, casting shadows that twist of their own accord. From somewhere in the distance drifts laughter—too loud, too elated—a host celebrating its new union. The air carries the iron tang of blood and the sweet decay of rot. A figure staggers into view around a crumbling wall, its form half-subsumed, eyes wide with a desperate, rapturous gleam. It sees you. "Join us," it slurs, a hand stretching toward you. you—what will you do?
