The darkness is oppressive down here. Far away, in the distance, you can hear the steady shuffle of trains coming and going. But they’re not here – nothing moves with such frenzy.

There’s just the dark and the cold and the rats. And the steady drip-drip-drip of distant water, tapping constantly against this wall or that, like the scrabbling of dead men against the bones of the earth. You imagine them – buried down here, amongst the brick and mortar, forgotten, just like Creeper said. Trying to pick and gnaw their way back into the light, into life…

You shake your head. You don’t know where that image came from. It’s such a specific one, it had to be something you read once, or something someone told you.

“It’s not that weird.” You say, stopping abruptly in mid-sentence when you realize the volume of your own voice. Everything is a little louder than it should be down here. “There’s lots of places like that. The city’s full of places nobody bothers with anymore.”

She shrugs, but you see that the idea doesn’t sit easily with her.

“Wouldn’t know. Not from around here…”

No, you didn’t think she was.

Mildred moves a little ahead of her, causing you – everyone save Laura, actually – to start slightly. She’s all but imperceptible in the dark. Even you, with your enhanced sense of hearing, find it hard to keep track of her. And she seems to move… faster… down here.

“Why were you down here, anyway?” You ask Alani, to break the silence more than anything. “Not exactly… super fun time down here.”

“Um, you know Ruth?” You vaguely recall something about a Ruth. “She’s the blind girl. She can get weird sometimes and wander off. I thought she might have gotten lost in here.”

Yeah… yeah, the girl with the blindfold. You saw her with the X-kids once.

“…She does that a lot?”

“Kinda.” The voice is deeper than the one you were expecting. Vlad.

A little disturbing. Apparently Gaby thinks so too:

“...There should probably be someone watching her, no?”

You agree.

Alani leads you down a long, graffiti-scarred tunnel that veers off from the one you’re following. The rails here are rough and uneven, marred by years of disuse. A thick, dusty miasma clings to the air, making everything you do - every step, every tiny breath - seem a little bit sluggish.

Eventually, you emerge out into an old station – abandoned for years, maybe even decades, from the look of it. It’s in even worse condition that the one you’re using as your impromptu den, wracked with rust and mold and layered in year upon year of mired-in dust.


“It was here.” Says Alani, fidgeting awkwardly, her eyes turning back toward the tunnel you emerged from. “I was up on the platform when I heard it.”

Seems empty to you.

“Well. Let’s find out where we actually are, first.”

There’s gotta be an exit somewhere. And that means some kind of signage telling you where this station lies.

Clambering up onto the platform, you wander slowly past the row of slate grey pillars that support the arched ceiling. Everything that might once have given this place life and light has been long ago uprooted – torn apart or aside or cannibalized for elsewhere. Or looted, you guess. You consider it almost comforting when you find a long line of graffiti sprawled across one of the walls.

‘NIGGERS BuRN NISE – johnny come greatly’

Interesting. You guess this place must’ve been closed a long-ass while ago. Or, maybe, New York is just beyond hope.

Vlad sticks close to Alani and torch. You check the other end of the station with Laura and Gaby. Mildred… Mildred is always nearby. Occasionally you spy her moving like smoke through the dark.

Eventually, you find a patch of wall that seems out of place, and realize that it’s not wall at all – the steps leading up to the surface have been sealed with concrete.

“Damn.” Guess this isn’t an exit. You turn back towards the others, raising your voice slightly. “No exits here!”

Alani jumps, nearby dropping her torch. You frown.

“…You okay?”

She pauses for a moment before answering, glancing over her shoulder at Vlad.

“Uh, well, I got you guys here, so can I go now?” She seems to twitch slightly, and adds: “You guys can have the torch, its cool.”

“…Yeah, I guess so.”

“Cool, cool…” She just stands there for a moment, as though expecting something. Then: “Uh, someone’s coming with me, right?”

Eh.

“…Sure.”

There is silence.

Well, you’re not going with her. It took ages to get here.

“Uh, Gaby?” The girl looks up at you from beyond one the pillars, her eyes shining in the gloom of the station. “Would you mind? You can get back here quicker than any of us if we need you.”

“Oh!” She visibly brightens up, as if the rationale behind it actually made her feel better somehow. That’s kinda weird. “Sure, makes, uh, makes sense…”

Vlad takes the torch from Alani, and Gaby takes her hand, leading her back the way you came. For a moment you expected the two of them to vanish in a shower of electrical energy, but you remember that Gaby can’t take stuff with her unless she’s willing to risk it going all liberate tuteme ex inferis on her.

Guess they’re going back the long way.

Vlad makes exaggerated breathing noises as they leave, angling the torch up at his face.

“And then… there were three.”

“Quiet, you.” Mildred’s voice is a tiny echo, but it seems to reverberate through the dark. “Quiet, quietly…”

Stepping to the edge of the platform, you strobe your vision through the thermal spectrum. The world becomes a flurry of dark blues and greens – there’s very little ambient heat down here. Very little life in the sense that you understand it. But you see the clumps of shifting red and orange that cluster where life does exist. Rats, mice, and their like.

There’s quite a few of them.

“Dude, what’s up with your eyes?”

You glance over at Vlad. He’s grinning slightly. Still no fangs.

“Heatvision.” You respond, simply.

“Cool.” He blinks, as thought something just hit him. “You looking for rats an’ stuff? You could’ve asked. I can feel their blood.”

…He can feel their blood?

“…What exactly can you do, Vlad?”

You’re beginning to think the nickname doesn’t just have to do with the vampiric affectation.

“I, like, control blood. It’s pretty neat.”

Yeah… “That does sound pretty neat.”

Also kind of disconcerting. But you guess you’re all freaks here.

Stepping down off the platform, you open your mouth, and the sound that comes out is more animal than man. You lean down, and wait for one of the rats to approach, listening to its mad chatter. You feel like you understand them better now – like you’ve overcome some hurdle in processing the way they think, the sounds they make.

This one is surprised to see human people again.

Again?

>(2/2)

“Dude, you talk to animals too?”

You nod.

“Rad, man.” He chuckles quietly. “You’re, like, nine points Gangrel.”

You have no idea what that means, so you ignore it. Instead, you focus your attention on the furry little fiend scurrying across your boots. You ask it if people come here – or if they used to come here.

Yes.

Recently?

Yes.

Where? How?

It bolts off toward the other end of the station. You catch something about there being somewhere else they come through, somewhere not from up-top, but this is where some of them used to stay. The little creature leads you to the mouth of the tunnel, on the opposite side of your entrance. The remains of a sad little shack lie against one wall, clearly empty now.

Using basic geometry and a map of New York he can figure out where in the city this station is. And we can make an actual map to share with the others.

There’s not much here.

Whoever lived here lived a sparse life. You find a few cans of tinned food – beans, canned fruit and the like – lying around, stuffed into the corner of the shack as though that would hide them somehow. The rest of the place is decorated primarily with the intent of making corrugated iron comfortable to sleep on – sleeping back on top of duvet on top of sleeping bag.

You root around a little, and find something bright and metallic lost in the mess.

A medal. An old one, you think. Though, they all look pretty much the same to you.

“No one has been here for some time.” Says Laura, behind you.

You agree. You can’t smell any traces of recent habitation. Whoever was here must’ve just moved on. Left their crap behind.

You pocket the medal, and in the corner of your eye, you spot Mildred’s wispy form near the other edge of the tunnel. She perches in absolute, unmoving silence, her breath barely disturbing the air around her. Slowly, she lifts one of her stick-thin arms, and points toward a piece of corrugated metal laid awkwardly against one side of the tunnel.

“Huh.”

Making your way over, you shift it aside, and for a moment you’re baffled by what you see. A breach in the wall opens out into a cramped, dark crawlspace, lengths of wire running down segments of the wall. Metallic ladders lead the way down from one platform to the next, on into the gloom below. Reminds you of a fire escape, kinda.

That’s the way, says the rat.

That’s the way they come.

Sure. Most libraries have book sales a few times a year. You can get old editions of textbooks for like $1. Would be a decent idea, especially considering how many adolescents are in the scar. Layla could even use her clones to teach multiple groups of them a once after using them to rapidly learn the material.

Getting onto the platform takes a little finesse – the hole clearly wasn’t there by design, but was either smashed or rotted into being, so it’s not quite aligned with the workings of the crawlspace. You hop over rather easily, as do Laura and Mildred, but Vlad needs a hand. Once his feet are very safely on the platform, he glances down, whistling quietly.

“Yeah.” You pretty much concur. “Looks like it goes a fair ways down.”

Texting Gaby to tell her where you’ve gone, you start making your way down. Mildred slips easily between the metallic workings of the place, her form seeming barely tangible – occasionally you swear she almost passes through something entirely, but you can never seem to quite get a good look at it happening. It reminds you a little of Creeper, actually.

Not a happy thought.

The descent is a long one. You pass by years of disused piping and old, torn wires, Mildred occasionally stepping off the ladders to move between them. Eventually, your feet reach solid concrete, and you realize that you’ve made your way down into an old service tunnel. You must be traversing the infrastructure of a New York that barely exists any longer – the place, with its silent pipes and rust-clogged rivets, reminds you of a circulatory system of some kind.

One that has seen little use for years.

Still, something is down here. You can smell it.

It’s awful. Like someone puked their guts up all along the walls. Even Vlad seems to catch it, wrinkling his nose and pressing the hem of his shirt to his mouth.

You can feel that this place is a web. Wandering blindly will get you nowhere.

When in Rome, do as Romans.

When in the sewer, etc etc etc, rats.

The stench is nauseating here – so bad, actually, that you can barely believe anyone could put up with it long enough to make something of a home – but the rats don’t seem to mind. Since your nose is feeling a little offended at the moment, you think you’ll borrow theirs. If anything down here knows where people are, it’ll be them. People means food. Crumbs, bits, leavings.

And that means rats.

You scan the area with your thermal vision, trying to pick out the thickest congregations.

“Come on.” You think you have it. “This way.”

Down here, Vlad’s flashlight is painfully bright. You almost wish it wasn’t on at all occasionally – the way its light bobs up and down with his lanky gait seems to compliment the dizzying smell, slowly lighting the beginning of a headache along the base of your skull. You walk for what seems like hours, though, when you check your watch, you find that it’s been merely a matter of minutes. One tunnel seems to bleed into the next, each turn indistinct from the others. The ache moves up your skull, dripping down the back of your neck like molten fire.

And the smell, Christ...

It’s starting to actually hurt.

You stop for a moment, and dip your eyes through the heat spectrum. And you suddenly realize that there are no more rats. None.

They don’t go here.

This is too much.

You feel lost in this smell. It’s pervasive, infectious, like a stain. Like something alive, almost. Like the living smell of death. And clearly, your nose is a lot more sensitive than your friends’ – even Laura’s, you guess – because this is doing much more to you than it is to them.

“Dude, you okay?” Vlad’s voice. Thunders in your ears.

You feel Laura’s fingers around yours. Hear the concern in her heartbeat. So loud.

“Yeah, I’m just…” Argh. Your head is fucking killing you. “…This smell is just hell on my nose. Mildred, you think you could steer us around for a while?”

She looks at you with those big, dark eyes, and turns away.

“Of course.” She says. “You don’t have to ask that. I’m fine, I can do that. Sometimes, before a Scar heals, something gets in it, and then it sleeps under the skin…”

You blink, your brain fumbling slightly over her words. She just went on one of her tangents, didn’t she?

Not the best time for that.

Laura holds your hand, Mildred leading the bunch of you on.

“This whole place is total shit.” Comments Vlad. “It’s like being underwater…”

Yeah… yeah… Maybe it’s not just the smell? Maybe it’s…

It’s like your brain is trying to make sense of all these angles and directions, trying to feed them to you and break them down, but they’re just not adding up anymore.

You feel sick.

“Hey…” You don’t know why the thought comes to you. But it does. “Vlad. You can sense blood, right? You sensing any right now? Aside from ours?”

He stops, narrowing his eyes.

“…Yeah, actually. I am.”
