《The Friendly Neighborhood Nightmare Caller》Prologue
Advertisement
My-Our name was Ai Nakamura. We were a Japanese girl, until recently. Confused? I can see why. After all, how can a single person be a "we"? The answer is simple: we **were** one person, now we are two.
Still confused? Well, let's start from the beginning then. Don't worry we'll be quick. Ai Nakamura, daughter of Kenji and Kazumi Nakamura; born in a small, peaceful village in the countryside. We were an only child. Mother died of an illness when we were seven years old; father started coming home drunk. **No**, he did not abuse us, didn't really take care of us either. Although he *did* leave us money so we could take care of ourselves.
Once we were old enough, Dad sent us to a pretty good middle school, in Tokyo. We didn't have many friends, and our school life was rather uneventful. Honestly, the most eventful thing that happened, occurred in our first year of high school. The resident school bullies thought it was a good idea to harass us during club activities. Well, we were a member of the cooking club, and it was our turn to cook that day. Let's just say the bullies didn't appreciate the scalding hot cast iron pan-to-the-face. The school couldn't really suspend us since we lived on campus, so we got detention for a month. Totally worth it, by the way.
Well, anyways a few months after graduation, some little girl came by and informed us of our father's death to some monsters the government calls Fiends. The Fiends had first appeared somewhere towards the beginning of senior year and had been attacking humans since, although they tended to avoid large population centers. Well, this little girl told us that we had also been chosen to be a hero if we wanted to be one. I think the term she used was "Defender of Humanity" but we honestly weren't listening to her speech. We were given a choice of races to be changed into and an extra perk, or "Tattoo" as she called it.

We chose Kitsune and the "Split" tattoo. What? We always liked foxes and wanted a sister and best friend. Yes, we were lonely. So what if we are weaker than most of the other heroes? Now we go by Taiyo and Tsuki. I am Tsuki and I am a gray/black fox girl; my new sister Taiyo looks almost exactly like me except she has golden fur.
Well, we've just arrived at Savior Central for our training and to find a proper team. Seriously, who named this place? Sure it's catchy, but it's so unimaginative! Oh well, time for Boot Camp!

8 1205The Right Place At The Wrong Time
"What will you feel if, by inevitable circumstance, you never see your most beloved ever again?" ~~~ In the year 2000, 18-year-old Steven Vincenzo moved from the Philippines to the USA due to his father's promotion. They settle down in a small neighborhood known as Izzaya, in a city called Haggrew. Just a few days after moving, he finds out about a dark past from the Prohibition Era that still haunts the neighborhood, a dark past full of grizzly murders and kidnappings. Determined to know more about it, he finds out that there are ties to an old abandoned house he always passes by in the neighborhood, seeing it as a lead. Hesitant at first, due to the fear of breaking and entering. In order to find out more, he needed to go into the abandoned house where he finds a mysterious door that isn't like any other in the house. The infamous door that was presumed to be "The Culprit's Room." He enters the room where he suddenly got sucked in by an unstoppable force. He wakes up outside the abandoned house, to a confused girl in front of him trying to get him back into his senses. This girl was wearing vintage clothing and had quite a distinct accent that Steven had never heard of before, except in movies and TV series. Looking around, he knew something was definitely wrong. The abandoned house looked newly built along with other old houses in the vicinity. Trying to understand the situation he's in with all the clues he has, he eventually asks the girl what year it currently was to confirm his speculations. To this, the girl replies with a serious tone, "1927." Steven doesn't know what to do with all this information. Will he be happy that he could know more about the dark past and possibly try preventing it? Will he be distressed in trying to figure out how to come back to his own time?
8 187The one Player

With his extensive knowledge of the game, of the mods, of the playstyle... He knew that he would thrive here, in a world so similar to the virtual one where he had spent so many hours of his life.
8 119The immortal snail problem
“You get 10 million coins, but a magic immortal snail will spawn within 10 kilometers of you. It is as fast as a regular snail, but it will always be chasing you. If it touches you - you die. Do you take the deal?” This obscure message is the first thing you see along with a gun near your head. What will you do if you don't even know where or who you are? Problem...Yeah... I would even call it 'The immortal snail problem'. Improvisational writing. I will try to make small irregular updates. There may be polls. Enjoy.
