    Five years ago, successful horror author Laudna suffered a trauma that proves sometimes life is stranger than fiction. After recovering physically, Laudna turns her attention to a life of quiet seclusion in hopes that it might give her mind a chance to heal.

But as cryptic warnings from the locals and a ever growing string of odd occurrences start to pile up around her, Laudna learns that she might not be as alone as she thinks she is.

    Summary

    Laudna knew that she couldn't spend all of her time holed away in her home, even if that was what she wanted most days. No, she would go out into the world, she would see the city she now lived in and she'd find placed she loved.

    Starting with the aquarium, a place that she can see flashes of in her memories that fill her chest with warmth and joy.

    She'd go there and see the animals, and she'd enjoy it. A place for new beginnings and brave visits, and a cute elf who just happens to be extra sweet to her.

    Summary

    In all honesty, Imogen thought Laudna had forgotten the conversation entirely. It had been fifteen years ago and they’d been drunk. They’d been upset and emotional and they had had hundreds of late-night talks just like that – lying close together in the dark, feeling the safest they’d ever felt.

    But now, sitting across from Laudna at the breakfast bar in their apartment, her bagel slowly falling apart in her limp grip, Imogen had the stark realisation that she’d underestimated Laudna’s memory.

    Fifteen years ago, two best friends made a drunken pact to get married if they were still single at thirty five. Now, Laudna wants to make good on the agreement, and she’s prepared a list of reasons.

    In case Imogen needs any extra convincing.

    Summary

    On a long list of terrible ideas, Imogen reflected, this particular choice on her part really took the top spot.

    Her therapy session that week had gone well. Really well, actually. So well that when her therapist had suggested Imogen "take a small step out of her comfort zone", Imogen had seized her rare confidence and decided she’d visit a coffee shop.

    A loud coffee shop. Open to the public.

    One with other people in it, to be clear.

    Summary

    When Imogen first comes across the user Fun Scary in game, they’re the DPS in the 4-man party.

    What she doesn't account for, though, is the friend request that she recieves afterwards.
