How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Knock)
- Ever since she opened Bradwell's gift, she has been having more memories. One in particular is a lullaby about a girl on a front porch.
- There is a knock on the door, so Pressia hides in the cabinets. Her grandfather opens the door after realizing it's a woman who needs to be stitched up.
- The wounded woman claims there is a Death Spree occurring—a twenty-four hour period where OSR soldiers form tribes and kill people for sport. Whatever team has the highest body count wins.
- It's like real life Call of Duty… which is incredibly messed up.
- Pressia and her grandfather think the woman might be crazy.
- The woman says there are new whispers about a Pure boy being spotted outside of the Dome.
- Pressia and her grandfather are still doubtful, but Pressia hopes there is a Pure out there.
- A truck then rumbles in the alley and Pressia can hear a dog get shot.
- The woman sees that it's OSR; Pressia's grandfather then gives her the signal to leave through their secret passage.
- After much hesitation, Pressia draws a smiley face on the cabinet door with ash, and then leaves through the fake panel into the barbershop.
- She decides to go to Bradwell because he still owes her grandfather a favor. Plus, Gorse survived so maybe she could too.
- On her way out, she finds a small charred bell and picks it up. Symbol alert—ding ding ding.
