Resources: Map: i.imgur.com/trVLXnD.jpg (embed below) Discussion: vitcon.boards.net/thread/2899/oz-discussion-topicSign-ups and Character sheets: vitcon.boards.net/thread/2900/return-oz-character-sign-upsSomewhere out there in the multitude of realms and alternate universes there is one where technology and magic are the same, and reality and imagination come closer together than ever. It also happens to take card games very very seriously. The cards of that realm/universe can release characters from stories and legends of limitless power, and bring any person's notions of to life. This world is called Oz, an oasis in a sea of darkness, floating through the void on the back of the celestial space turtle-god Roshi.
Oz used to have two ruling classes. There were the Wordsmiths, who wrote epic tales of heroes and villains, of monsters and machines, of gods and men. The technology they used to write commands a magic so powerful that their scripture is infused with magic that through psychic matter transmutation gives anything they write about the ability to come to life. The magic of their stories remained, even when alchemically reduced into a film-like digital storage called "Cards". Then there were the Dealers, who wielded the cards. Their rituals extracted the magic of the Wordsmiths to release them from their small rectangular transdimensional quantum computer films. This allows the characters of the works to be brought to life.
Sadly the primary intent of interactive fiction was quickly lost when the destructive potential of these cards was realized. In the next war to occur on Oz, Wordsmiths were called on to write the most devastatingly malicious and powerful characters ever imagined. The Dealers took these horrible stories to rain the hellfire of pure twisted imagination upon each other.
Obviously this didn't last long. Not because of mutually assured destruction, but because suddenly an incredible amount of deities of utter chaos and destruction were brought to life, and were told they were to fight on behalf of obviously inferior beings. Oops.
Now the world of creators belongs to their creations, who have spent the last centuries either mindlessly destroying everything or being oppressive jerks for fun because that's how they were written. At some point, the people of Oz risked destroying their own world to end their horrific fate, but all this did was wake an even more unholy force of nature, with a vendetta specifically against the Wordsmiths and Dealers. In the following years, every single Wordsmith was wiped out, and with them, the ability to call forth any new characters able to fight. Without the powerful scripture of the Wordsmiths, the structure of the old world finally collapsed, and the world took its final tumble into darkness. New governments were formed.
In a final attempt to reclaim their world, the Dealers of Oz found another. One which still contained stories of hope and peace, of benevolent gods and mighty heroes. And so with their last bit of magic energy, they reached out towards the most powerful scriptures of this world, to form the very last set of cards that would bring forth the heroes that are needed save them.
But they missed and instead they got this website.
OzSt. Elne, YuleiaQueen Glinda occasionally spends some time early mornings standing out on the palace's highest balcony. Looking off to the capitol town a short distance away. Seeing the vague outlines of her people hustling and bustling about as the day begins. The only slightly unusual thing about this morning was how much longer than usual she stayed up. Her hand on the stone railing tensed up as she heard footsteps approach from behind her, and the familiar voice of her general. "Your majesty? It's almost time." Glinda hummed in acknowledgement and nodded. She didn't move, still looking out to the town as she began to speak. "...A fine day, isn't it? Slightly cloudy, perfect for a stroll... Shops opening... Pets on their early morning walks... Some rushing through the street to avoid arriving to their workplace late... I bet a few down there are blissfully dreaming, unaware that they've overslept." She smiled slightly at the amusing thought. "Seems like a fair, largely ordinary morning..." Her shoulders rises and sags as she takes a deep breath. "They are unaware of what is about to transpire. The consequences will be far-reaching... Drastic... Not only in regards to this kingdom, but perhaps altering the fate of the entirety of Oz itself." She lifts a hand and looks down on how it trembled. "I have put much thought in this decision over the past several months, and I fully believe it is the best opportunity we have to truly save our people, yet... I feel nervous... Terrified, even. What if this is a mistake? What if I'm inadvertently signing this world's death warrant? What will history say of me? Will there even be a future generation left to curse me?" Alvis walks up to his Queen, and places a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "There is no shame in fearing uncertainly, Glinda. We've observed the possibilities. The potential ramifications of this ritual, as well as the potential ramifications if we don't. I know approving this was not a thoughtless decision, and that you would not have approved it without faith in it. Know that I, Cia, and others, will gladly put our every effort in ensuring a bright future for the world." Glinda looked over at the town once more. She nods slowly, closes her eyes for a second, then turns away from the balcony. "Let us go to the altar. Commence with the ritual." |

June swings herself up onto Marth, adjusts her crown, and draws Armads. "With me, knights of Carcina! We ride for the docks! Shatter every Risen from here to the sea! Ride down every cultist, cut down every traitor! Forward!"
June kicks her horse into a gallop as the gates open. A wall of animated corpses bar the path. She doesn't slow down, riding over one and cleaving through a pair that were too close together with one swing, turning to slam the flat of her axe into another on the other side as she passes. She doesn't break pace, turning to throw a dagger at another as the other knights press through the opening she created. She lets out a yell as she approaches the next wave. They ready their bows, only to be scattered as a group of wyverns swoop down and crash into them. June cuts through one before it can rise and continues charging to the east.
"Here you go, little ones." Mareena adds another two scoops of birdseed into the bowls of the birdcage. She double-checks the pigeons have plenty of water and their toys are all set. "What do all you little cuties think? Another day with no customers? Or will today be a bit more interesting?"
Mareena twirls and drops the scoop back in its place as she returns to her table. A deck of cards lies waiting. She flips the first as she passes. The Hermit. Death. The Ace of Swords. "Oh?" Mareena takes a seat, legs kicking with excitement as she expands the reading. Coins, more swords, and the Empress. Mareena nods to herself, returning the cards to the deck and shuffling idly. "An interesting day, indeed..."
The Undine witch pokes her head out of the sewers. She takes a brief look left, then right. The road looks clear, so she throws the cover aside and swings drags herself up. She lets out a satisfied sigh, enjoying the fresh air for a moment as she stands up and dusts herself off. She freezes at the sound of heavy footsteps behind her. She whips around, but no one's there. A fluttering sound back in the other direction catches her attention, and she's quick to look back. Standing in the middle of the road, staring down at her, is a full-grown red dragon, a snarl pasted across its face, fangs glittering in the flickering flames spurting from the sides of its mouth. The Undine smiles awkwardly. "O-oh. Hello."
The Undine dives back into the sewers as a claw swipes at her. She takes off sprinting through the water as she hears something massive shifting overhead. She can barely make out the sound of the dragon slamming its face into the opening behind and above her. She suddenly realizes what's coming and whirls around, performing a quick series of ritualistic, dance-like motions. A wall of ice shoots from the floor as the water freezes and expands just as a wave of flames flows into the sewer.
"December? December, where are you?" Alice pounds on the door to the dorm basement, recently converted into a soundproof studio for band practice and subtler corpse disposal. "It's time for us to start preparing to leave, before Ines finishes gathering her power."
"Leave?" The door swings open to reveal a brown-haired young woman wearing a scowl. "And where do you think you're going?"
"Oh, um, hey June," Alice mutters. "I was, uh, I mean... Have, uh, you seen December?"
"She's already inside, but you ain't slipping away that easy. Uta is your fault. If I have to deal with her, so do you."
"Oh, no, that's-" Alice tries to retreat, breaking into a full run back up the stairs as she sees the look on June's face. A lasso flies over her head, slipping down before cinching around her ankles. Alice grabs for anything she can, latching onto the handrail as she's slowly dragged back down into the basement.
Sybil looks around. Nothing but darkness.

---M---
M reappears in Central Town, his hands behind his back. Slightly amused, with a hint of disappointment, he walks through the generic townspeople, ignoring them. He glances at the character orb in the sky, thinking that maybe it's time for another tournament to have a user gain a new fighter. But that last crossover world he just visited didn't really satisfy him... When he even showed up, the characters already seemed to be inactive. Lifeless statues. All of them. But M is probably to blame for showing too late. Still... He craved for more. M passes by his own personal fighter, The Guard, currently guiding a user somewhere, then takes his decision. His fighters can handle the users for a while!
M activates his floating digital computer screens to look into if there's any active worlds out there... "What's this? Oz? About to start? Hmm... Very interesting..."
M gets lost in his thoughts, reading the sign-up sheets.

Sophie and Anna
Sophie and Lana were taking a leasuirly stroll around the kingdom. Sofie just getting done her shift as head of the royal archers for Lord Chrom's army. She met Ann just outside the castle gates.
Ann having closed up her shop for the evening was standing by the gates waiting for Sophie to arrive.
It's been a couple of years since the incident that linked Ann and Sophie's world with that of the Mushroom Kingdom. Sophie and Ann after the great war settled down and eventually had a couple of kids of there own. A little girl they adopted when they found her in a basket along with a note on their front door. They also had a little boy that was biologically theirs.
Ann made sure the kids were with Sophie's mom. Sonia couldn't wait to babysit her grandkids. Sophie's younger brother and sister couldn't wait to spend time with their niece and nephew.
"Is everything set?" Sophie asked.
"Yep, kids are with Mama Sonia,". "Everything is all packed and ready to go,". "Now we are just waiting for our escort to arrive," Ann says.
"Nice, I still can't believe he agreed to come and escort us back to the Mushroom Kingdom," Sofie says.
"Well when he heard it was a special request from Peach he couldn't help but volunteer," Ann says with a giggle.
"I know he would do anything for her,". "Oh remember when we saw him singing a song about her," Sofie says while laughing.
"Oh he was so embarrassed," Ann says while holding back a laugh.
"Yeah good times, good times,". Sophie replies.
"So mom knows that we will be away for a while right?" Sophie asks.
"Yeah she knows,". "Mama Sonia said have a good time with all your friends,". "Besides she seems to be thrilled to spend time with the grandkids," Ann says to Sophie.
"That's good to hear,". "I know everybody wants to meet them,". "But still not sure how traveling through the Outrealm gates would effect them," Sofie tells Ann.
"It's all good," "They got a chance to meet them earlier when our son was born,". "They already met our daughter upon coming to see our son,". "Besides it just means we get more time to ourselves,". Ann says mischievously to Sofie.
"True it's been a while since we got to spend time alone," Sofie says reaching for Ann's hand.
"Is Lord Chrom okay with you taking a vacation though?" Ann asks.
"Yeah he was all for it,". "He said to go and enjoy my vacation and to give my best regards to the others," Sofie says to Ann.
"How about the shop?". "I know how you are when it comes to running the shop,". "And your very particular when it comes to how your shop runs," Sofie asks Ann.
"Oh don't worry sis agreed to help out,". "Besides our brother and sister agreed to help out to,". "I made sure to leave very detailed instructions," Ann says to Sofie.
"VERY DETAILED," Ann repeats with an intensity to her voice.
"Well at least Anna is looking after it,". "Just hoping your not trying to use our younger siblings for free labor," Sofie says to Ann.
"Why I would never," Ann replies very mischievously.
Sofie just shakes her head and sighs at the response.
Ann and Sophie make there way towards the outskirts of the city. They pass by the town guard and greet him as they pass bye. Waiting for them outside of the gate appears to be a strange creature. It looks like a green turtle like creature with an extremely spiky shell. He has red hair that sits upon his head in between two horns. He appears to be very unhappy and seems to be stomping his feet impatiently.
"Grumble Grumble, you two chumps took your sweet time,". "Can't believe an awesome and powerful king like me gets stuck being a babysitter,". "I'm king for crying out loud,". "I was all like I will be the nice Koppa for once,". "The way Peach was just pleading with me,". "Saying she has an important task that only I can do,". "Humph didn't think picking up you two was the all important task," Bowser grumbles.
Sofie and Ann just wave towards Bowser and giggle. The guard seems to be relieved to no longer have to deal with the grumpy turtle creature.

Morgan
was running around her apartment a whirlwind of clothes and emotions. Finally, her big day was here, the day she was looking forward to the most. The day Morgan and her best friend/lover Julia would go on their first date. After months of begging and pleading Julia agreed to go on a date with her. Morgan feeling anxious about the date decided to soak in the tub and relax. What Morgan, forgot to do was set an alarm on her cell phone. What was supposed to be a 30 minute turned out to be 2 hours. When, Morgan finally looked at her phone, the words oh Sh*t could be seen coming from her.
Now with about 45 minutes at most to make sure everything was ready. Including making sure her pets were fed, she had everything in her purse, she made it to the bus on time. Morgan was extremely frantic.
“Why now?” Why today?”. “One job to do and of course,”. “Sigh Julia would understand right?” Morgan thinks to herself.
Morgan after finally settling down and finishing getting dressed and making sure she looked her best. She did a final check and saw that her pet ferrets were safely in their cage and had plenty of food. Meg and Bret were sound asleep inside the cage while their owner was a complete mess. Morgan looked through her purse and saw here house key, wallet, fully charged cell phone, and her soul key.
“I shouldn’t need it right,”. “The portals and the commotions haven’t been too bad lately,”. “Plus it's not like we are going to the other world tonight,”. “I should probably keep it home,”. “Morgan thinks as she went to remove the key.
As she went to grab she dropped it back into her purse. A feeling came over her like she was going to need it. Morgan couldn’t shake this feeling like she should hold onto it. Like it was going to be important later. Morgan then let the soul key fall right back into her purse. Morgan took one quick look around her apartment. After being satisfied with how everything was, Morgan wished her ferrets good night. Morgan turned off the lights, locked the door, and ran off towards the date site as fast as she could.
Catie
Catie and Sam were taking a stroll outside of the Midnight Cathedral. With Baron and Barry off on a mission with Baron’s dad, Silvia was in the middle of her own training with some of the other ladies of the midnight Cathedral. Catie was left to her own device for once. When she mentioned she would like to take a stroll and get some air. Sam volunteered to go with escort Catie as she went for a stroll. Baron was hesitant at first since he knew how Catie could be. He did feel a little better when Sam agreed to go and keep an eye on Catie since Sam. Baron shared a quick kiss with Catie before seeing her off. Catie waved goodbye as her Sam set off.
Catie had no place in mind where she wanted to go. Catie just wanted to get out and explore the world. Between raising the twins, her own duties, and being with Baron. Catie needed some time to herself.
Catie with Velvet key in hand and Sam by herside took her first step into the sun in what felt like ages, Catie forgot what the warmth of the sun felt like. Well, since being inside the Midnight Cathedral and since most of the denizens were vampires and well Vampires and sunlight don’t mix.
“Where are we off to first?” Sam asked.
Catie takes a moment to think, not really sure. Catie then closes her eyes and begins to spin really fast. Catie then stops spinning and points in a random direction. “There,” Catie says, pointing in a random direction.
Sam nods in response as he hops onto Catie’s shoulder, as the two take off on their own impromptu adventure.

Mario and Peach
Mario and Peach were taking a lovely stroll throughout the castle. It has been sometime since the incident with Dimento, Ann’s Sister and her adopted sister, and the strange wander. Peace has finally returned to the Mushroom Kingdom. Rosalina and Ann’s sister Anna performed a ritual afterwards that linked the two very different dimensions with one another. Two very different dimensions had their destinies forever intertwined. Despite the two worlds being forever linked, everyday life made it impossible for everyone to see each other. Anna became busy running a very productive shop and raising her two kids. Sophie being a part of Lord Choms army as his personal royal archer. Peach having her own duties to attend to while Mario was busy aiding Peach. Yet today was different, Peach received word she’s been waiting for. Sophie and Ann would finally be stopping by for a bit of a vacation. Upon hearing that news Peach gathered everyone, Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Rosalina, and even Bowser, and gave them each a task to do.
Starlow upon hearing the news couldn’t wait to meet up with everyone. “So Peach are you excited?” the young star spirit asked Peach.
“Why yes, it’s been a while,”. “I know Rosalina was very excited upon hearing the news,”. “She couldn't wait,”. “She’s currently at the Comet Observatory, working on something she says is very top secret,” Peach tells Starlow.
“Oh right Rosalina was the very first person to find them,”. “She’s been with Ann and Sophie since the beginning,”. “They were probably the closest thing she had to sisters,”. “I know the time has been the toughest on her,”. “Even though I know Rosaline frequently visits them in their home world,”. “How do you feel princess?” Starlow asked.
“Excited for sure,” Peach replied.
“But,” Starlow replied.
Well you know how parties and gatherings usually go at my castle,” Peach tells Starlow.
Mario replies by giving a thumbs up.
“I know how you feel Princess,”. “The castle doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to hosting parties or events,”. “To be fair though most of the reasons involve you know who,”. “And from what I heard he’s not even in the same dimension of Mushroom Kingdom,” Starlow tells Peach.
“Yeah as soon as he heard I had a special request for him,”. “He was more than happy to volunteer,”. “In fact he almost seemed too pleased to run off,” Peach says while giggling. Starlow,Peach, and Mario shared a nice laugh.
“Honestly, at least with Bowser involved it’s,” Peach says while trying to find the best word to describe it.
“Predictable,” Starlow says to Peach.
“Something like that Peach replies.
“At least with Bowser I know what to expect,”. “It’s when others get involved that’s when it’s more chaotic,”. “Whether it was the Shroobs, Fawful, Dimento, etc,”. “It wasn’t just the kingdom but the entire world, existence was at stake,” Peach says very somberly.
“I know how you feel Princess,”. “But just like always, everyone is here,”. “Ready to take on whatever appears”. “Heck even Bowser is here willing to throw down,”. “Anyone who would dare interrupt this party better be ready for a beat down,” Starlow says.
Peach smiles upon hearing Starlow and gives her a reassuring nod. Yet, something is still in the back of her mind, keeps gnawing at her.
Carleen
Carleen sits in the challengers locker room getting ready for her big match. Carleen is surrounded by her trusted Pokemon. They have been through so much these past few years, with being on their own, to encountering a group of trainers on an island of legendary pokemon, to their encounter with Nova. Yet, for some reason all this pales in comparison to what she was about to do. Carleen was about to face off against her mentor, someone she idolizes again. Carleen was nervous to face off against Cynthia again after all this time. Carleen knows shes much different from the young trainer that first went off against her. Yet, something about facing Cynthia again made her knees weak.
Carleen’s pokemon, being able to sense their trainer's nerves, began to huddle around her and gather for a group hug. Mellody the Meloetta placed herself onto Carleen’s lap, Pika the Pikachu hoped onto Carleen’s shoulder and gave her a nuzzle, Bob wrapped up the three in a vine as to mimic a hug, Ashley gave out some Delphox’s as a form of motivation. Greninja just stared right towards Carleen and gave a thumbs up. Paul wrapped up everyone in a big group hug.
“Thank you everyone,”. “I needed a little reminder,”. “It was because of not just me but because of all you guys,”. “We made it through everything because of all you guys,”. “Plus because of all of our friends and because of a special someone too,”. Carleen blushes at the mention of a special someone.
Carleen sits with her Pokemon waiting for the announcer to call her name.
Jessica and Paul
Jessica wakes up getting ready to open her dojo. It was another day with another group of students eager to learn from the legendary Warrior of Light herself.
Hilda the adorale dwarf Hydra that’s been around since the beginning looks at Jessica while waking from their slumber.
Mica and Mike have already taken off for the day off, probably off on an adventure or quest or two.
Just as Jess was starting to prepare breakfast a knock at the door catches her attention.
“Where closed right now,” Jess replies thinking it’s one of her students.
The door opens anyways and a middle age man dressed in all red steps in.
“Good your home,” Paul replies.
Jess takes a moment to look at Paul before returning to making breakfast.
“The usual,” Jess replies to Paul.
“Yeah the usual,” Paul says, taking a seat at the table.
“I guess she isn’t here,” Paul replies.
“Probably took off around the same time Mica and Mike took off,” Jess replies. Jess hands Paul a plate of eggs and toast along with a cup of coffee.
“Well as long as she’s with them,”. “Ann should be okay with it,”. “So anything new today?” Paul asks.
“Nothing really, you know how it goes,” Jess says taking a seat next to Paul.
“So I take it no one heard about the whereabouts of Mike,” Paul replies.
Jess slams her fist on the table before taking a sip of her coffee.
“I’ll take that as a no,” Paul says as the two enjoy the rest of breakfast.

Lana and Charlie
Location: Royal gardens.
Lana was laying in the middle of the garden staring at the sky. Charlie who appears in his “German Shepard” form is lyin next to Lana curled up. Lana seems to be daydreaming but there’s something on her mind. Like something important she needs to remember but the thought escapes her for the moment.
“What’s on your mind master?” Charlie askes Lana.
“You know I hate it when you call me that,” Lana says to Charlie.
“Well you're the one who summoned me,”. “I am duty bound to serve you after all,”. “But you already knew that Master,” Charlie teases Lana.
“Hmph,” Lana huffs towards Charlie.
“Anyways, I’m sure there is something that’s supposed to happen today,”. “I know Arvis and mom mentioned something was supposed to happen today,”. “Geez I’m sure staring into the sky will help me remember,” Lana sighs.
Charlie just rolls his eyes as he turns away from Lana.
“Remember the day we met?” Charlie asked.
“How could I forget?”. “I remember I asked mom and dad for a puppy for the longest time,”. “They eventually agreed I could have one,”. “I ran over to Aunt Cia’s room and couldn’t wait to summon one,”. “Imagine how surprised when you appeared,” Lana says to Charlie.
“Not as surprised when Cia, your mom, and dad were when I appeared,” Charlie replies.
“True they didn’t expect such cute lil puppers,” Lana says.
“I think you mean Hell hound,” Charlie says.
“Well that and plus when you asked who’s your new master?” Lana said.
“Never expected one so young to be able to pull off such a summoning ritual,” Charlie replied.
“I didn’t expect you to talk,” Lana said.
“Really a talking dog was what surprised you,”. “You think after all of the crazy stuff that we see in Oz,”. “A talking dog would be the least surprising,” Charlie replies.
Lana then turns towards Charlie and has a wistful look in her eyes. Suddenly, an important thought crosses her mind.
“So what do you think about that summoning ritual mom, Aunt Cia, and Arvis were talking about?”. “I know they were serious about this being Yulliean’s last chance,”. “But I can’t help being worried,” Lana says to Charlie.
“Don’t blame your master,”. “Summoning magic isn’t to be taken lightly,”. “You were just lucky when you performed it that we were highly compatible,” Charlie says to Lana. Charlie makes his way to Lana and places her head on her lap.
“I know,”. “Mom and Aunt Cia wouldn’t make a decision like this without thinking about all of the possibilities,”. “I just worry though,”. “So much can go wrong,”. “What if this ancient ritual summons creatures worse than what we are dealing with?”. “What if I lose?” Lana begins to trail off.
Charlie, sensing the sadness in Lana’s voice goes to Lana and licks her cheek.
“When you summoned me did you expect the worst?” Charlie asked.
“No, because I honestly thought I was summoning a puppy, an umm normal dog?” Lana replies.
“So when a hellhound appeared asking for it’s master, did you recoil in fear?” Charlie asked.
Lana begins to smile and she wipes away the tear that was forming in her eye.
“Quite the opposite, I was so happy,”. “I ran right up to you, gave you a big hug,”. “Named you Charlie as soon as I laid eyes on you,”. “If anything mom, dad, and Aunt Cia were more worried,” Lana replies.
Charlie nods in response as Lana begins to sit up. Lana looks over towards the hallway and she sees the guards running around in a frenzy. Suddenly, the thing Lana was trying to remember smacks her like a brick.
“The ritual is happening today,” “D’oh how could I forget such an important event,”. “Come on Charlie we need to find mom,” Lana says springing to her feet.
Lana takes off in a panic searching for her mom.

---Zack---
Zack, as Volcano, was looking at all the vehicles on fire, the convenience store which was now a gigantic pile of rubble and the remaining puddles of fuel, which somehow did not burn, covering the surface under his feet. He sighed heavily, feeling the glare of the policemen on him...
"I'm so sorry guys... Hum... What can I do to help... You know... Hum... I have basic super strenght... Haha..."
He couldn't believe the superhero organization left him alone to deal with all this mess... They gave him lava related powers! What did they think would happen sending him to fight criminals at a gas station for his first mission? Yes, Zack felt guilty. This was his fault at the end of the day... But what was he supposed to do? Not fight the bad guys? Now he was stuck putting pieces of a building inside a truck, while judged by policemen whom probably hate him or even superheroes in general! Hell, if the organization wasn't a thing, they'd probably arrest him right now...
Zack gets lost in his own thoughts, wondering if anyone ever had a worse "first days as a superhero" than him...
---Kendra---
Complete darkness... Her white eyes, devoid of any humanity pierces through it... They would if there was anyone to see her at least... But there is no one, nothing. Simply her and her own void. She cannot die... Not definitely die at least... But wether she comes back or not depends on the next time the prophecy will loop... Which might be never. Despite this, she's smiling, slone in the darkness, patiently waiting, convinced The Engineer will show up and bring her back...
---Ice Age---
Silence... Complete silence... Except for the humming of the machine itself... Ice Age exits resting mode, examining her collection of frozen humans. It isn't enough. It's time to collect some more! The door of the abandoned arena opens, as the zamboni departs for yet any lethal trek in the city.
