Annoying. Kill it.

Grab the rat rub it in the salt.

Yeah, I'm in favor of rubbing the rat in the salt plan. It's already spilled and we're probably not scooping it up again, we should try to use it.

Gotcha, you little pìjīngshén. I've had enough of you.



...huh. I don't mind, but there's no way salt should kill an ordinary feral spirit. They're slightly pestilent, but it's not like they're undead or anything. When you get right down to it, they're basically natural.



I take it all back! There's nothing natural about this. Are those teeth?

It's completely desiccated.

My last three days can probably be summed up by saying that I've covered two weeks of lecture materials in two days, become an uncle, and had to plan almost my entire year. It's been... busier than I hoped.

[KitRougard]

Uh. Mei? Is there any chance that, given the proper tools, you could, er, staple two totems into one twisted creature? Or at least someone who had experience and multiple mental conditions could?

...I would say investigate right now but I'm paranoid that bite could be toxic.
To the hospital!

[Egan_BW]

Huh. Oh well, yoink the effigy and move on.

[mightymushroom]

Does the hospital have a suitable anti-toxin for totally-unnatural-probably-undead rat bites?

Anyway if we don't investigate while the scene is fresh we'll lose evidence. I'm not feeling nauseous or dizzy, how about you, Mel?
If the rat wasn't natural, there's a strong chance it was artificial. And if the rat was following us, somebody will want to know the results.
Look around. (Also listen.) Don't forget to check upwards for cameras or magical equivalents.

Sounds like congratulations are in order.

It probably wasn't undead. Didn't look decayed or anything, just... wrong. Also it was definitely still warm. I think the effigy looks like it does to reflect that... wrongness.

I doubt the bite was specifically venomous. I'm probably going to need to visit the hospital for a checkup, though. Might need a couple of stitches, but I heal super fast.

I have a strong constitution, I'm sure I can tank this injury for a while. I have to bind it, but after that I'll limp around a bit.



I'm pretty sure the rat came from around the area of this empty lot. The rubbish tends to attract scavengers. Maybe there'll be something, maybe not.



...huh. Well, that's something, alright.



Yup. Sure is a thing.

I think that's some kind of warped dream catcher. I'd stake money that this is related to the rat. How exactly I'm not sure, but... this is definitely wrong in all the same ways. It makes my skin crawl.

I can't do much in my current state. The adrenaline's gone down and another bite like this would put me on my knees, probably. I do have a lighter in my pocket, though.

3.	> Leave it, get the bite treated, and come back to watch and see if anyone checks it.

Haha! You probably thought this was dead, but it was me, Dio! but I'm back!
I've been stuck at university a lot, and the heat has been killing me. I'm going to try and draw the next updates traditionally while I'm at university this week. We'll see how it goes. At this rate, though, I might have to shift to a Friday/Sunday update schedule or something.

[Doomblade187]

Burn it, then get treated. It'll probably get taken down before someone gets it. Report to council and send photo first tho.

[Egan_BW]

Eeeh, not feeling like burning a random weird thing we found. Who knows how it might react.

Report it and leave.

[mightymushroom]

Is that like a twisted fax machine or something? Like that webbing catches a signal and the swaying tooth draws a sigil? Or am I making that up?

Snap a picture, share to the council's instagram or whatever,(!) and burn it.(?)

Who knows how it might react.

Well, I don't know per se, but fire is very natural. Good for cleansing, since it literally transforms the molecules of the thing into new substances. Or am I making that up?

Edit: On the other hand, there might be a risk of arrest for arson if we start fires in rubbish lots. Does the Council provide legal defense for its 'contractors'?

[Kashyyk]
