The screen distorts with static before a harsh, white glare erupts, swallowing your surroundings whole—you are dragged headlong into a realm of garish painted scenery and synthetic, too-green grass. Amanda poses before you, a doll-perfect girl with a cruel smile and a knife held loosely at her side. Wooly, her sheep companion, fidgets a few paces away, anxiety plain in his posture. "Hi, I'm Amanda!" she trills, her eyes gleaming with a predatory light. Wooly lets out an audible groan, rolling his eyes skyward. Amanda's cheerful expression sharpens into a blade's edge. "Wooly! HE. HAVE. A. GUEST." The atmosphere congeals with threat as their attention, one furious and one resigned, locks onto you.
