Slyther: About To Eat Now

Don’t be mean to him

I keep remembering a run of Hamlet I saw a few years ago, where the Ghost was costumed in full plate armour which was very noisy, and instead of muffling it, they had him crash across the stage, stomping so the whole set rattled, and he said all of his lines in a bellow, like he was furious with Hamlet.

And the thing that made it absolutely terrifying was that Hamlet was the only one who reacted. He was cowering, and covering his ears with both hands, and yelling to be heard over the noise.

And no one else seemed to know why he was doing that. The other actors didn't even raise their voices.

That's scary, something so loud and painful, and REAL, and the people around you don't even notice it, and think that you're the crazy one.

A restaurant named You're Not Supposed To Be Here, where the whole point is that the vibes are unnerving. The lighting is weird, the whole place has a faint scent that's not a bad smell, but it's certainly not food smell and you can't quite identify what the hell it is. The music is weirdly janky and you can't quite tell what's wrong with it, the vocals aren't exactly garbled but sung in a language you swear you've never heard anywhere and couldn't name if you tried. Only hiring staff who have anxiety and they're 100% permitted to show how much your presence here stresses them out.

It's already been a long day for them, but looking down and seeing these two arrive together was probably the weirdest part somehow

One rescuer tries to be encouraging with Omi's little reassuring smile and thumbs-up, while the other half of this rescue team is just Chase Young sending up a death-glare like he doesn't even want the trapped kids to come down

And poor Dojo's just confused, as he so often is

Drifter, you confessing to me?

Eido: Guardian, Welcome! I need your Help for something-

Guardian: For you, anything.

Eido, blinks: So you will go and collect things to possibly help my father?

Guardian: Yeah, That's what I said.

Ghost: They don't have a romantic soul.

Eido: I have seen the posts on intaguardian saying otherwise.

Guardian: Oh, I mean it when I say things. No one can see my face under this mask and tone gets garbled. Also where is your father?

Pulled Pork and his Guardian made it to the Tower from the Dreaming City, what a resourceful duo
