My current Head of Security recommends that you close the Todash on that day.
ARRIVAL
The thick, ghastly haze of the mist, once practically opaque to the naked eye, fades and opens up to a nostalgic homegrown New England town. A friendly gazebo, freshly painted white sits on a neatly mown lawn at the center of the town square. Vehicles stop at the redlight while locals cross the street, birds chirp in the trees, and a school bus stops to pick up a few children in oversized backpacks. Pedestrians walk by you without a second glance. Did they not see you suddenly appearing out of nowhere? How could they not have noticed that all encompassing fog? And why doesnβt your obviously otherworldly attire catch their attention? This appears to be a small, close knit community. And itβs clear youβre not from around these parts.
But these are simply the first of many mysteries youβre about to discover.
The further you investigate your new surroundings, the more ominous this seemingly quaint and colloquial town becomes. Thereβs something dark beneath its pleasant guise. You canβt shake the chill at the back of your neck and the sense that someoneβor somethingβis watching you. Then thereβs the odd graffiti on the alleyway walls and the way the locals talk about certain locations. And while the mist is gone, there are places in town that make you reminisce about the mist. Places that feel supernaturally thin. Thin enough to let in whispers from the other side. Or maybe even screams.
And donβt worry if you hear laughter or the jingling chimes of carnival coming from the rain gutters in the street. Thatβs just your imagination. Thereβs nothing down there.
Nothing that floats.
