    Summary

    Frankie kept telling himself this wasn’t the worst life a person could have.

    It helped if he listed things. He did that a lot, in his head, like he was tuning something. Okay: he wasn’t starving. His stomach grumbled sometimes, sure, but he always found a way to get a bowl of noodles or some other cheap shit from the stand three blocks from the station, or could heat a can in the workshop when the boss had already gone home. He had a stable job, which was way more than some of the guys he saw drifting through the outskirts, hollow-eyed and jittery, looking like they might sell a kidney for a clean glass of water. He had a roof over his head, technically.

    So, you know. Not the worst.

    It just also kind of sucked.

    or a Fun Ghoul origin story.

    Summary

    Yesterday morning, a raid party went to the Better Living re-education facility in northeast One – the one that used to be an observatory, or something. Seven crews went in. Ten crews came out. Dracs dead, exxies axed, total success. But there have been rumors. And the Zones have been buzzing.

    Rumor had it that a Scarecrow had been killed in the raid. Rumor had it that they found another 'joy who had been held prisoner. Rumor had it that the only thing anyone could get them to say was that the Scarecrow was going to kill them. Rumor had it that the Scarecrow had been Korse. No one will say who the killjoy is. It doesn’t seem like anybody actually knows.

    Party Poison went missing last year. When they turn up eight months later in Better Living hospital whites and on a cocktail of the Batt's finest meds, no one knows what to do. It's going to take a hell of a lot more than detox to make things right.

    Summary

    Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.

    Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.

     

    Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.

    Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.
