Megan felt a heavy weight in her chest. That boy was most likely dead, and all the intel she had pointed to cannibalism. The Harbingers' nickname for their boss, how they called them 'faction cows,' everything on the radio since Zone 2 opened, Gretel's theory... If the entire city was being forced to rely on air drops for supplies, there was no other explanation for the apparent abundance of food and drink here. Either they had a farm that was miraculously still healthy and thorn-free, or...
An involuntary shudder passed down her spine. She didn't watch the kid die, not really, but knowing that her choice was a direct cause of his death was bothersome. It didn't stick like the images of last night's... casualty, but it bothered her. People killing each other felt less terrifying, maybe. Human beings could be counted on to be terrible to one another. And now they were all tasked with keeping themselves alive. It wouldn't really surprise her if everyone was going for their own survival first; they still had five more days, it was too soon to give up the fight.
But after trying the slots and seeing all the people desperately trying to buy their own freedom from the tables, she wasn't particularly optimistic about her chances. But would she rather be here, or back out in Zone 1? Her thoughts took a darker turn there, and she could feel the panic rising again. No, this was a bad place for that. See? No undying here. All these lights. Nowhere for the thing to hide. But OH MY GOD WHAT IF--
She slumped against a wall, head in hands. There was a lot to work through.

It was, perhaps, not the best time for 888 to appear, still in full costume and holding an absolutely ridiculous-looking drink which he did not appear to have touched. He took a step toward Megan, and -
- dumped the entire drink, cup and all, into the potted plant beside her.
Maybe he didn't know her well enough to know her name, but anyone in a Halloween getup was definitely a Mall Rat. 888 tilted his head a little at the sight of her practically curled in a ball. All around her were lights and cheering and the permeating smell of cigarette smoke, people celebrating, or pretending to, anyway. "Is something wrong?"

The sploosh of the drink landing beside her snapped her out of it, and she looked up to find 888 standing over her. It took her a second to pick herself up again, she hadn't noticed how far she slid. Stupid wall, some support you are!
"Did you want the long or the short version? Between the monsters and this place and this stupid-" she yanked at the collar. It didn't come off.

"Long version. I've got time." 888 brushed off his hands and joined her against the wall.

Megan wasn’t really expecting him to come lean on the wall with her. She held up her battered radio and stared at it a moment before she started. “You have a radio, right? You might’ve heard what I said when Rebecca died. She was helping us with an undying… it wasn’t supposed to end like that. We were supposed to take it down, rip off a couple limbs, show them off to the bandits, maybe get some food for our trouble. Instead, she wound up being food. It was fast, and it came out nowhere.”

"Yes, I heard." 888 didn't really move much until she got to the part about Rebecca feeding the wildlife. The slightly robotic voice grew a little more serious. "What did you see, exactly?"
He'd turned the expressionless mask toward her, giving her as close to his full attention as anyone had probably ever seen before.

Megan tensed noticeably. "When the undying went down, there was a shadow on the ground just behind her," she tried to gesture with her hands to show what she meant. "A piece of that shadow sort of... came off, sort of like two drops of water combining together, but backwards. And then it... it took shape. It wasn't even a normal shape, but it was full of white things that looked like teeth, and it came at her. It was done before any of us realized. All of that, in less than a second, and all that was left of her was legs. I didn't stay long enough to see if it wanted another bite, I just took Granny and ran, screaming into my radio. I've been watching this play over and over in my head ever since. Even seeing them slice the guy I didn't redeem, that didn't even hit me as bad as this."

"Has anyone else seen it?" he continued questioning, in the same cold and curious voice. "Has it killed anyone else?"
"Those things are impossible to get rid of." He added, which was probably of little to no comfort on top of everything else. "And we still don't know if those bandits were lying about their weapons. There's a lot of rumors out there and we don't know what's true."

"No, Granny Smith was there, but she had a head injury and couldn't see clearly. She might've gotten a blurry version but I haven't seen another since then. Unless you count my imagination."
Wait, what? Those things? Way to go eights, now she's shaking violently. "You mean there's more of those???"
