Well, if there was anything here, the presence of Wrench most certainly wouldâve scared them off. Heâs not really sure where he is â he just knows that heâd wandered here on his mission to hunt down some creepy church cult and take them down, and then heâd stayed too long. He hadnât had any money so he couldnât really stay at the hotel, and .. well, he just chose the next best thing he could. Thatâs right, a totally abandoned building! Heâs slept in his fair share of them, but something about this one seemed downright spookier than usual. He kept hearing groaning, and he could have swore that shit kept moving, but heâs also tired as fuck and not really in the mood to investigate.Or ⊠is he? Wait, wait a sec, this place might just have some older tech he can salvage and / or some good ol Blume security system parts. People never seemed to fully remove âem these days, after all!
But âŠ. he ends up working himself out to exhaustion again, and the next thing he knows, heâs waking up later in the night. He doesnât know what time it is, other than obviously Really Fucking Late, and he gets up  and dusts the debris off himself. A shiver runs through him as he looks around him at all of the rotting building, taking a sec to stretch before heâs moving on his merry way. But he KEEPS shivering. Itâs not even cold, but it KEEPS happening! He should have wore a thicker hoodie, probably⊠Anyways, he proceeds to wander through the building, and .. well, he swears thereâs SOME kind of ghost or something here. If thatâs what keeps making him shiver despite the lack of breeze. Now Wrench is getting aggravated â  ( \  / ) âOkay, look, if there are any demons or ghosts or whatever have you, could you fuck off? Stop making me cold! Go get a life! Oh â ( /  \ ) ah, er, fuck, THATâS probably a shitty choice of words, but. Well. ( .  . ) You know what I mean. Just. go away! Shoo! Git!â ( \  / )
Whatever he does seems to work, because now heâs not constantly shivering as he works his way over and through debris. And itâs actually not cold out! Maybe it WAS a ghost after all? Meh, who knows, who cares. Heâs just grateful it stopped. He didnât hear Sal come in, though, or speak â well, he catches the tail end of what he said, but he doesnât react or process it until he bumps into Sal himself.
( ! Â ! ) Â â AH! â Â ( ; Â ; ) He cries out and tries to throw a punch as a reaction when Sal runs into him. Heâs clearly surprised, so the semi-colons blink from that to two solid blocks as he takes in the man before him. Blue hair, Â black shirt .. a mask? A kinda creepy one, if you asked Wrench, but hey â he canât criticize. He wears a considerably spooky mask himself. He tries to calm down his breathing, the hand on his chest slowly falling slack and heâs standing at his usual posture again.
âOh ⊠Itâs just you. Dude, if you wanted to talk, you coulda just said so.â He finally says, weirdly casual and acting as if he knows who the hell Sal is. He pauses, though, tilts his head to the side, crossing his arms as his mask changes to ( ?  ? ). âWait a goddamn second. ( *  * ) I donât know you. Who the fuck are you?â ( ?  ? )
âAH!!â Sal shouted back in surprise, the punch caught him off guard; it briefly connected with his right arm and sent him stumbling back. Thankfully he managed to keep a hold on his super gear boy. It wouldâve sucked if that had gotten damaged. âDude!â Sal gripped his arm, rubbing it a little to douse the pain. This had just been an accident, but he could feel the blood rushing to his face and his legs tensing up; a fear response. Who was this guy?
âIâm...Iâm Sal, Sally Face.â For a split second he glanced back down at his super gear boy; not enough time to get any other readings, but it was obvious the guy in front of him wasnât a ghost. âDid I scare you? Sorry man, you startled me too.â Plus that punch fucking hurt. âAre you squatting here?âÂ
With tensions slightly dissolved, Sal was able to properly get a look at the guy and his entire...get-up. One electronic mask, and a...punk-rock kinda vibe? Huh, this guy was definitely new to Nockfell; he wouldâve stuck out like a sore thumb otherwise.
