synopsychic | Whups time for another report

I feel like I was just on here but I am having a bad night again. Worse than bad dreams this time. There's some...thing out here.

[She starts livestreaming on the network, showing you things from her point of view. It's worth noting that despite her being a psychic of fairly low to middling power, the detail and quality of the stream is incredible. It's like an IMAX where you can count the individual hair follicles on someone's head. The scene shows some sort of shadowy creature with bright blue eyes stalking around the small pool of light provided by a streetlamp Kohaku is apparently sitting under. You can also see her forearms in the corner of the stream, and they both have a handprint on them, as if someone had grabbed her arms and their skin had started ripping away her skin. Which was more or less what had happened. They were dripping blood slowly onto the pavement.]

It won't go away, but it also won't come into the light. My sword doesn't seem to hurt it and I'm way out on the edge of town. Every time it touches me it hurts.

...I could use some help. Bring lights, I don't think my cellphone light is gonna cut it.

I'm on my way.

I swear I don't normally call for help this often.

We're all having a rough week.

Well I, for one, am not going to let this fucked up town push me around like this. Once I get out of here I need a plan that's not just wandering around looking for weird shit.

I'd like to start by instituting the buddy system.

Not a dumb idea.

We're a team. We'll work together when we can protect each other and stay safe.

Well. Safer.

I guess this is what I get for wandering off on my own, then.

I saw a kid out in the mud on the edge of town and tried to go help him. Then he turned into that.

He's one of us.

We might have to take drastic steps to stop him from hurting anyone else.

If you need any back up, let me know. I can find some way to help.

I was just thinking of going looking for you.

If we stay together and bring flashlights we should be safe. Each of us covers one side.

Give me your cell phone number and I'll text you a stop-gap solution.

The light's working alright so far, but uh...

555-1234

[Or something]

(The text comes with this attachment and instructions: Point at monster. If it repels them, back away. If they lunge, toss the phone away and run.)

It was stupid but she didn't want to lose her phone. It was one of her few connections to home. She texted back: I'll save that as Plan B.

The monsters here will probably fear or hate it. If they hate it, they'll attack the Sign and not you.

Got it.

[Riddick sounds a little tired when he replies:]

Come back inside the city where it's light and let me deal with it. He doesn't like light, won't come any closer than he probably already is. He can't hurt me, and I can probably make him back down and talk like a normal person again.

I'm sorry I didn't take it all seriously.

Ain't like you had a frame of reference or anything, kid. Just get out of his range, and you'll be fine.

You got somethin' to wrap up that arm?

He doesn't seem to want to get into the light here, but I can't get anywhere without stepping into the dark, and I'm pretty sure he'll jump me if I do that.

[Oh right her arms are bleeding. She literally forgot.]

And uh...not really. Just, like, my shirt, and I'd rather keep that on. It's cold out here.

You got any electronics on you? A cell phone, or somethin'? If you do, turn that on and use that like a flashlight. It's worked on him before.

Oh.

Yeah I got a phone. I didn't think that would be bright enough.

Not surprised, wouldn't occur to a lot of people. But it's worked for other people, so it'll probably work for you. Just find a screen on it that's nice and bright. Might even have a flashlight app thing, if you can find one.

He left, but I'm not stepping out from under this light until I get backup.

My phone has a light on it, though. I'll keep it ready. Thanks.
