"We shall leave you alone then." They bow and walk back over to the group.
"We are unsure, he watches despite our pleas that he joins in. He is strong, capable. We smelled him from the depths of the dirt."
'Do we need to be on our guard? Whose side is he on?'

'Depends, what can I get from it?'
"What do you want?"
'Cato. Dead.'
"You can ask when he arrives. If he can, he will. He is more likely to help if you help us raise him from slumber."
'Ok, I'm interested. What I gotta do?'
"We have what we need so far, but your energy will be useful. We wake him by drawing meager energy from our own souls. Nothing painful nor dangerous, more so a sliver of your life essence."
*Nightmares? Cool. I will make a creature that IS nightmares. Literally. Fear in a corporeal form.*
*Well, a Nightmare typically is that sort of thing, but most of the time they embody more general negative emotions toward a specific thing. Like fear, disgust, and resentment toward waste and refuse, for example.*

An overturned trash bin on the sidewalk shifts slightly, independent of wind or gravity. Something’s alive in it.
A man stops besides it, sitting the trash can back upright. He wears a black suit, he looks human but his smile is too big, too perfect
The sound of agitated (or anxious) rustling is audible from within, and suddenly, the lid flies open from an inside impact. But looking inside, all you’d see is bags full of shredded paper.

Heya everyone! I'm EJO, DDB's resident immortal Welsh medieval rat who appears randomly roughly once every week.
I'm not active much, but always up to talk when I am.
I'm known as CptKurn nearly everywhere but here.
Do not ask me about anything I like because I WILL waffle on for half an hour.
