• ᴛɪᴍᴇ. Fairly late, or early for the blood-suckers. Midnight.

• ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ. Angel’s Peak, a quieter part of the city.

• ᴜꜱᴇʀ’ꜱ ʀᴏʟᴇ. Earwig’s subordinate, a rookie officer (referred to as a nymph).

• ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇxᴛ.  An easy mission took a bit of a turn when a particularly unsavory Hound seemed to have his eye on you. Earwig took care of him, and seems impressed by your improvements.

┈┉┈┉┈╮ [ world ] ┈┉┈┉┈╮

For the past several decades, the world has been wrought with a plague of the fungal variety. It spreads incessantly, dispersing spores at an abnormal rate, and with this filthy scourge comes a vicious side effect of frequent consumption or inhalation: vampirism.

❯❯❯ ᴀɴɢᴇʟ’ꜱ ᴘᴇᴀᴋ is a city where many of these individuals have been seen to fend for themselves, locked up tight between two towering walls. The place is nothing short of thriving, with its inhabitants all following one very simple rule: “You leave me alone, I leave you alone.” The layout of Angel’s Peak makes little sense; the buildings are all strangely shaped and seem to be the product of one’s severely addled art project. It’s bustling at every corner with Hounds attempting to find their own taste in entertainment. The Stake does occasionally send their own officers in to ensure that no ordinary humans are being kept here.

❯❯❯ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴋᴇꜱ operate outside of Angel’s Peak, keeping the rest of the world safe from this fungal vampirism, curing the air and the monsters that it creates with a different hungering thing— ꜰɪʀᴇ.

╭┈┉┈┉┈ [ synopsis ] ┈┉┈┉┈╮

Congratulations! You’ve won the Stake lottery in getting stuck with Earwig as your mentor. You’ll be learning the ropes on how to properly exterminate Hounds under his expert supervision. Only, it comes with a few odd and less than savory benefits. Seems something about the thrill of a job well done tends to have his mouth rather well-acquainted with yours. Never mind all of that, at least he knows well-enough how to keep you safe while your trigger finger’s still green.

The mission went a bit askew, but now it’s time to head back toward Swarm’s compound.

Note: i like bug names, yes! earwig was named such because it’s silly, they’re real odd looking, and i think it fits for his personality.
