Norfork 17 - Bitten
A dumpster. A rooftop. A hidden closet. As the Strangleworm closes in on the people they love and they find allies becoming enemies, the trio make desperate moves to try and get ahead.
Kelly makes a promise. Nammi steels some nerves, and calms others. Rabbit makes a daring bid for control of their life.
Why have this power, but never use it? This could change everything.
It’s an ending, not a beginning.
Maybe it’s both.

NPCs
Officer Conrad Butte (he/him) - Police officer. Low on the proverbial ladder, mostly relegated to taking calls from subway security and petty crime. The "Abbott" in his usual team with Officer Fukfuk.
Officer Walther Polona (he/him) - City police officer who arrested Nammi at Ace Aruna's house.
Cold Moon AKA Rosa Kalyani (she/her) - Unofficial leader of the lunar witch coven in which Rabbit was raised. Former astronaut. Imposing Black woman with short spongy black hair, and an athlete’s physique. Often wears an elegant coat, even when it’s hot.
Butch (he/him) - A shadow that offered to help Kelly get out of a sticky situation early in his vigilante career. Eager to help Kelly like you’re eager to keep a fruit tree pruned and safe from deer.
Carmichael (he/him) - Arch-vampire nightclub owner and socialite in The City. Kelly owes him, and he aims to collect.
Art Young (he/him) - Red-headed white man. Former member of VaccuCon alongside Rosa Kalyani. Rosa needs him for something.
The Mothman (he/him) - Vigilante. Low-res digital facemask with two large pixelated circles for eyes attached to a black balaclava. Black turtleneck. Underneath, an extremely average looking white man with short blonde hair. Looking for Kelly.
