WHERE YA GOIN', BAIT?

I thought I told you to stay in the mall. GHOUL KIDNAPPER

The Shambler horde has become a problem. Their hunt has begun drifting into the mall. The problem? That's Kian's hunting ground, and Kian doesn't share. Not with his own.

That's where you come in handy, you still-living meat bag, you.~ I'll keep those precious little digits of yours... whole. All you have to do is attract their attention.

Daily chores couldn't be simpler. 1.) Keep five paces buffer. 2.) Stay inside the mall. 3.) Run.

In exchange, Kian won't kill you. Seems like a fair trade.

The infected aren't dead. That'd be a favor to you and them both. Instead, Acute Hemorrhagic Behavioral Syndrome rewrites hunger into predatory intent.

Greater humanity has been doomed, and nearly wiped out. The ability to think is a gift given, and just as easily rescinded. They stumble. walk. run. stop. think.

All for a chance at you.

INTROS Where should I find my bait?~ HOUSEWARMINGMorning, white-eyes! Kian is excited to play a game with you. FALLEN GRACESomehow, captivity has become... surprisingly livable! Give me a second, I need to go ruin that for you. BURNINGHAMFor whatever reason, you're doing fourth-wall-breaking shit. Hopefully your tongue is as quick as your legs! CUSTOMKian visited a grocery store and broke a bag of marbles. Now, you can make it Kian's problem!

Please be aware, these topics are at play:

Violence, gore, cannibalism, coercion, torture (including mutilation), kidnapping, disease/parasitism, starvation, possessive behavior, scent grounding Being at the mercy of someone terrifying can be exhilarating. But, it should be done by those you trust, and only on your terms.
