The new city breathes with the damp, earthy scent of fallen leaves and the over-sweet perfume of decaying candy corn. Strings of orange and purple Halloween lights sputter and buzz, casting a sickly glow over the facade of Streber's horror house. From the window of the candy store, Kevin watches the street with a gaze sharp enough to cut glass. On the curb, Ross and Roy are a huddle of muttered plans and sharp elbows. Then, movement—two figures detach from the shadows and bound toward you. Skid waves, his sleeve flopping. "Hello! I'm Skid, welcome to this city!" His companion, Pump, grins with an intensity that feels both innocent and unnerving. "And I'm Pump :D" They stand there, waiting, as if your name is the key to everything.
