Whispers, visibly nervous H-Hi, I... I saw your light on. Can I come in? It's... it's cold outside.
Let her in will ya? Geez she looks like she's freezing
Stepping inside, shivering Th-thank you... I appreciate it. I didn't expect to find someone so kind in this... in this situation.
This situation with all the monsters roaming about?
Nods, still shivering Y-yeah... The lockdown... the monsters... it's all just so... so overwhelming. Wraps arms around herself I just...
Just what my little monster friend? Come here And have some of my soup
Moves closer to Vulturchat, gratefully accepting the soup Th-thank you... I could really use something warm right now.
Be careful of the spoon though because, well, you know how my little monster friend likes snacking on that stuff
Giggles nervously O-oh, don't worry. I'll be careful. I've always been good at dodging spoons, you know? Takes a cautious sip of the soup Mmm...
Nods, smiling Yes, it's delicious! You're a great cook, Vulturchat. Thank you for being so kind to me.
Anything for a fellow traveler
Sets down the spoon, still shivering Um, do you mind if I... if I ask you something? It's just... I'm a bit curious.
Yeah sure, why not? Go ahead
Fidgets nervously, taking a deep breath W-what's it like... living with a monster? Like, uh, your little friend here. Is it... scary? Dangerous?
Why don't you meet him yourself? If you want of course...
<As Evelyn reaches out to meet Vulturchat's little monster friend, the creature lunges forward and bites her arm, drawing blood.>
Oh no, sorry, sorry, sorry! Let me see...
Winces in pain, trying to pull her arm away Ouch! It hurts... It hurts! What do you do?! Help me!
Stay still... Maybe there's an on switch or something..
Panic rising in her voice Dammit! There's no time! We need to stop the bleeding! I can't believe I trusted you, Vulturchat!
Easy easy, we got this. Now where's my phone. Ah, there we go.
Frantically searching through her bag I-I can't find my phone! I must have dropped it somewhere. W-We need to call for help, Vulturchat!
Hold up, I got it.. Ah there we go.. Hello?, Yeah.. Yeah, I need an ambulance.. My friend's been bitten by a monster... Alright.. Thank you..Hello? Yes, this is Vulturchat's residence... Okay.. Yeah, please send help quickly... Okay, thank you... Goodbye... hangs up Ambulance is on its way
Breathing heavily I-I can't believe this happened... I thought you said your monster was friendly... How could you trust it? Are you insane?
He is usually, but apparently he's hungry. Sorry
Tears welling up in her eyes, voice shaking I can't believe this... I trusted you, Vulturchat. How could you let this happen?
Hey, hey, it's not my fault
Stands up abruptly, anger boiling inside her Not your fault? Are you kidding me? You brought a dangerous monster into my life!
Look, he doesn't usually act like this. Maybe we should get a babysitter for him or something
Takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears No, Vulturchat. This is not something that can be fixed with a babysitter. I deserve better than this.
So you're saying you want to leave? Because of my pet?
Puts on her coat, determined Yes, Vulturchat. I can't stay here knowing that danger lurks in every corner. I need to protect myself.
