Atton's woken up by the sound of a drum banging.

"By order of the Grand Vizier!" Somebody yells from the street outside. "Any and all heroes willing and able to undertake a dangerous quest to fight the Infection should report to the Vizier immediately!"

Atton groans, sitting up.
"I can never figure out if it's the Infection or the Corruption."

"So, here's your map," handing a scroll to Atton. "And you all have an absolutely delightful time, won't you?"

"Aye, 'opefully willna be too many monsters to fight."

"Hopefully there'll be lots of monsters."

"I'm gonna vote for moderation."

[will_scarlett]

"But ye can take 'em down with yer blackbeltin' skills, Guppy."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Guppy. Don't you want that?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"When I visited the bar as a kid, I met a hero who said that 'With great power comes...' oh, wait, I forgot it, I'm sure it'll come to me. I'm good for whatever."

[will_scarlett]

"Anyway will be fun, 'dventures usually are."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Guppy. It'll be an adventure. We're going on an adventure, Guppy."

Beat.

"Okay, let's go."

"Going on infection hunt... gonna get a big one..." Guppy sings quietly to himself.

Alex likes that song, especially when he does the sound effects. He feels around his neck and discovers that the locket has been digitised too, which is somehow comforting.
