What I like about them: he just... really does his best?? That sounds condescending hhghgdfkj but genuinely like, heâs suffered so much loss and he still has so much love and goodness in him, and heâs still so determined to protect Earthrealm. Heâs just.. so Good and heâs my emotional support thunder god
What I dislike about them: I canât think of anything related to like, story or personality so Iâm just gonna say uuuh. Much as I want him to be one of my mains in every game the only (relatively recent) games where Iâve really enjoyed playing him were MKX and Injustice 2. I think he plays pretty dull in MK9 and MK11 tbh :// Iâll still play him just cause I like him as a character so much but. I wish I liked playing him more, you know?
Favourite moment: I really like that scene in MKX where he talks to Jin about joining the white lotus and also says gay rights
Least favourite moment: Canât really think of one, tbh
A situation with this character that I want to see explored more: Kind of wish Dark Raiden had stuck around longer than like, two chapters. Would have been interesting to see interaction between that Raiden and the past one
An interesting AU for this character: AU where Raiden has a nice day. Just good things happen to Raiden and thatâs it
A crossover: idk. Saying DC would be too on the nose, wouldnât it?
OTP (or OT3+ etcâŚ. just⌠favourite ship): Not sure if itâs quite OTP level but itâs definitely the closest thing, I like Raiden/Sindel a lot. Idk, I guess I like the idea of them cause theyâve both lost so much and have still come out of it as kind and noble people, and I like the idea of them finding peace together? yeah......
Other ships? Nah
BROTP: Fujin!!Â
NOTP: Fujin. Theyâre brothers yâall stop shipping them. And stop shipping him with Liu Kang and Kung Lao genuinely what is wrong with yâall
An assortment of headcanons! Tbh Iâm not good at just listing headcanons off the top of my head, I kind of need a prompt to go off of so Iâll keep this kind of vague but, I really love headcanons about him being like a grandfatherly figure to Cassie and Jacqui when they were growing up

[slides into inbox] wanna talk about those elementals real quick
OH BOY WOULD I !!!
so i dunno how much detail i should put out here on the get go, especially with the whole thing where iâm still unsure as to whether or not I should use them as Mortal Kombat OCs/fan interpretations of canon characters or just OCs on their own (in which case theyâd be just ordinary elementals although i guess they can still be gods? :V)
Regardless theyâre all supposed to be ageless immortal non-humans in human form sort of dudes who are basically the embodiments of the classical elements with so much power theyâre basically deities by any other name so take your pick
Down hereâs a guide to your friendly neighbourhood elementals (cut because it got LONG):
Ohona
Earth elemental/deity
Name based on a Japanese earth god named Ohonamochi (though he doesnât really share much in common with the myths etc surrounding that guy, just the namesake)
He has control over the element of earth but also can manipulate anything under the earth so that includes metal and even minerals/gems
Heâs the definition of a âgentle giantâ like heâs well over 7ft tall and broad like an ox but heâs the chillest and loveliest guy youâll ever meet
Ohonaâs kindness is freakinâ legendary. Even the nastiest of people would be hard pressed not to admit heâs such a nice guy they feel bad going up against him. If someone pulled a knife on him and demanded money Ohonaâd fuckin give them his entire purse and then invite them for a meal and tea.
His big friendly giant thing means heâs probably classified as a pacifist, or at the very least one of those âMartial Pacifistsâ who doesnât kill or use more force than necessary
His fighting style prioritises defence, the kind of Big Beefy defence trading on speed where he aims to outlast his opponents and keep his own attacking to a minimum. Heâd much rather see his enemies give up than be forced to hurt them, sometimes deliberately letting them wear themselves out so he can approach and possibly talk it out with them without having to raise a hand
That said if he does ever have to attack he hits like a freaking bus on a train. He knows proper martial arts forms and everything so donât think just because heâs a tank he doesnât have skill or strength
He likes using his element to form shields and even armour around himself. He got the standard rock armour look down, but if the situation calls he can even scare up full metal or even diamond armour and shields
He is able to transform into a purely elemental form which is like a huge golem made of rock (like the MK Earth God). Heâs even bigger and tankier in that form, but he rarely cracks it out unless itâs Serious Business and the situation calls for being huge and strong
He can also change up his elemental form if given enough time so sometimes yâall get metal golem Ohona or diamond golem Ohona stomping around. good luck if you ever go up against that.
Something of a nomad when heâs out and about in human form. He loves travelling, mostly for the hiking and scenery. I mean yeah he can teleport (usually as a small sandstorm or sometimes in a sort of âsink into the earth and pop out elsewhereâ) but whereâs the fun in that? Heâs very much one with nature and his element and lives off the earth sort of thing, enjoying the great outdoors and sleeping under the stars
Brilliant gardener despite plants not being his domain, mostly owing to his naturally excellent care of the earth
Absolute animal lover and friend to everything that moves
That also includes the super freaky and dangerous animals. catch him treating a 13ft gator like a dog and getting it to roll over for belly rubs or calling one of them bird-eating giant tarantulas his hairy baby.
Heâs really friendly and warm to humans he meets regardless of whether they acknowledge his power or not. He likes spending time helping them out however he can with his powers be it helping them do some gardening or fixing stuff up
Heâs a talented hand in sculpting, carving, jewellery and pottery craft to name a few. Heâs got a rather infamous habit of making some incredible pieces then just giving them away and fucking off, leaving people with these beautiful pieces of art which are completely anonymous and literally priceless
He always makes time to visit Hinoka and Suijin either separately or as a get-together. Theyâre his two best buddies and he is always happy to keep Hinoka company or keep an eye on Suijin.
Hinoka
Fire elemental/deity
His⌠is actually not a real deityâs name, I think i remember seeing some fan names for the unnamed MK fire god using it and liked it. sorry oddball
(ED) o I think i found the origin itâs probably from the Shinto fire kami Kagutsuchi who is sometimes known Hinokagutsuchi or Hi-no-kagutsuchi waddayaknow - he doesnât share the same myth as Kagutsuchi tho but now we know his name isnât completely random hey-oh
As a Fire guy he controls flame but also heat, being able to thermoregulate his body and the air around him. He can also absorb fire and heat so heâs like immune to burning too and can put out fires by standing in them.
His elemental form is of course basically a humanoid bonfire, though heâs able to not make himself wholly flammable so he can walk around indoors and around people without making everything catch alight, but his elemental form can also still burn people on contact through radiating heat. itâs elemental magic man he donât got to explain
Heâs a very capable fighter in both martial arts and also swordfighting as his weapon of choice. cause you know whatâs better than a sword? A FLAMING sword. He also mixes in the classic fire-bending tricks where he can, fireballs and flamethrowers and so on.
Got a very fast and âkeep awayâ sort of fighting style where he favours AOE kinds of moves to keep people at a distance with the threat of getting barbecued or beat to hell. Expect rings of fire, explosions and sweeping fireballs sort of thing, as well as a lot of constant moving around to make it hard to pin him down.
kind of a hermit so he doesnât actually really go out and interact with people a lot save for his fellow elementals. and even then heâs pretty quiet and shy and it takes a lot to coax him out of his shell
If you do manage to get through to him heâs quite a nice guy. perhaps still not the most talkative, but heâs not going to be rude or anything
He has a thing where if he gets startled or embarrassed he sometimes accidentally lights himself on fire and Shenanigans Ensue. Itâs often a bit of a chain reaction because say you surprise him and he flares up, and then he gets embarrassed for flaring up, then he gets embarrassed that he canât stop flaring up etc.
The reason for his reclusiveness is pretty sad actually. Heâs cripplingly afraid of hurting people with his powers because he knows he can deal some serious damage with them. Thatâs the thing with fire, it doesnât need a lot to get going and can spread very quickly. But because he isolates himself and stews in his fear he doesnât have much control when he is around people and loses control when heâs stressed and then continues to fear being around peopleâŚ
And the reason why this fear started is even sadder. A very, very long time ago, Hinoka once lost control of his powers in a blind rage and made a desert. A really, really big desert. Out of land which was once fertile and thriving. And inhabited. He still hasnât forgiven himself for it and itâs really not a good idea to bring it up.
Because of what happened, thatâs why he only hangs out around the other two elementals and any other immortals, because he knows he canât hurt them that badly if something ever went wrong.
He tends to retreat to extremely remote regions and in very basic conditions, like a cabin or even a small cave, far from civilisation.
He prefers temperate to hot climates but like even if he was in the Arctic he is always warm himself so itâs not a big deal.
He spends most of his free time meditating and practicing forms in an attempt to de-stress and get some control over his powers. He also reads sometimes (though he fears for his books) and has gotten fairly good at cooking as a past time (even though he doesnât quite need to eat like a human).
Speaking of his food the other two elementals always like dropping by to keep him company over a meal or to share new recipes/try his new recipes. Always an evening well spent.
Despite popular beliefs and stereotypes, he doesnât like spicy food. Too much spice will hurt and then heâll become stressed and because heâs stressed his fire aura will flare up and so yeah he doesnât do spice.
Suijin
Water elemental/deity
Named after Shinto water kami of the same name
To put it bluntly Suijinâs like. a massive jerk.
Of all the elementals Suijin is the one with the lowest opinion of humans/mortals.
His reason is because he mostly spends more time in the sea and not integrating with humans.
And also because humans keep dumping their crap in the oceans and heâs left choking in it and clearing it all up so STOP DOING THAT YOU OIL PISSING FUCKMONKEYS
oh yeah heâs got an atomic temper and a vocabulary to match. being immortal just means heâs had more time to pick up some fantastic new curses to try out.
speaking of his temper heâs seriously got waayyyy to small a fuse and heâs so extremely hot-blooded thereâs no in betweens when it comes to chill or no chill. one moment you could be talking about ice cream the next heâs chokeslamming you because you put sprinkles on it.
fun fact when he gets mad he often literally steams with anger
He also puts zero effort into his appearance when around mortals, his robes always looking scruffy and half-undone. see if he gives a shit what you think.
He prefers being in his elemental form most of the time, which is just a human-shaped mass of water. In this form he can melt into bodies of water and travel as a puddle, letting him go pretty much anywhere he likes. However heâs also vulnerable to extreme heat or cold in this form since it will dry him out or freeze him solid
His control of the element of water means heâs also technically got power over all water in all its forms including vapour e.g. steam and clouds. Heâs also not limited to the water which is immediately around since he can call up water from any source or even move some clouds over for a top up. He could even create water on the spot from the air or dump a tidal wave on your doorstep even if you live inland. donât try him. Heâs also picked up some ice tricks, which also helps make him less vulnerable to being frozen
True to his personality and element heâs got a very aggressive and fluid fighting style that attacks on all sides and constantly moves and changes to take everyone by surprise. One minute heâs in your face with his fists the next heâs using Hydro Pump from a distance and then stabbing you from behind with his spear and calling you a bitch.
Okay so i said heâs a jerk and he is, but heâs also kind of a âjerk with a heart of goldâ guy in a way. For all his temper and foul mouth he can be decent to people when it matters. Heâs still a surly grouch even around friends but he makes the effort not to be needlessly cruel and if his yelling and cursing genuinely upsets anyone heâll dial it back and even apologise if he overstepped.
Heâs also very loyal to those he is actually friends with. He may be a little intense about it, but heâs super ride-or-die and will tear anyone who threatens, upsets or insults his friends a new one. And he might not be the best with his words, but he would want whatâs best for his friends and wonât hesitate to speak his mind with advice or criticism in their best interests.
He mostly keeps the company of the other elementals and non-mortals, though whenever he does make contact with humans who havenât ticked him off itâs by the sea since he rarely roams far from his element.
Believe it or not, he and Hinoka are best friends. Hinoka is like Suijinâs one soft spot who heâll move heaven and earth to keep happy and safe.
When Suijin is around Hinoka he basically does a 180 and becomes super considerate and careful around him. He wonât raise his voice and minds his manners, though he knows Hinoka doesnât mind him grumbling and cursing a bit and itâs more he will be more mindful not to sound all negative and get loud and mean around Hinoka because he knows Hinoka doesnât like it.
He knows about why Hinoka is so afraid of going outside and has been doing his best to support him ever since the incident. He visits often to check in on him and keep him company. He also knows Hinoka feels safer with him around because he is the only person Hinoka canât actually hurt with his fire powers (as in Suijin canât even get burned where Ohona can still) and Suijin can always put out fires quickly.
Hinoka is also Suijinâs biggest berserk button. Donât ever insult let alone hurt Hinoka in front of him or Suijin will actually tear you in half.
Heâs also just as close to Ohona despite not seeming it at first glance. He often seems like he just gripes a lot to Ohona but he genuinely appreciates Ohonaâs consideration and patience around him and being a loyal friend. Suijin will just as easily jump in to defend and fight for Ohona too like he does Hinoka, but less often since he knows Ohona can handle himself and barely has problems.
To this day you're the only person I've seen who can convincingly do 3/4ths angles of/make 3D-feeling representations of the DP cast (that don't look like the shitty Nicktoons Unite models). give me your skill
THATS SO NICE...thank u ;o;
i like to make my characters feel sorta 3d where i can :3
you have my exact opposite problem because i would LOVE to have a wardrobe almost exclusively of black but in practice i just have jeans and $5 tees :/
this isnât to imply my almost exclusively black wardrobe is not largely comprised of exclusively black $5 tees and jeans, you understand

Again, tags are empty and I am in a giving mood so letâs start December off right with some gifts. (5.7k words, Vlad Masters/Harriet Chin, college memories, no drama only good times.)
This was supposed to be her weekend off, and Lance knew that, but heâd still gotten her placed on this bum assignment because she had the audacity to suggest she should be getting more stories. She was going to kill him, sheâd decided that earlier that morning, and was now convinced no jury would convict her.
Pulling out her phone to break the news to her⌠well she wasnât exactly sure what they were to each other at this point so she decided to just go with friend, she paused as an idea took root in her mind. Dialing the personal number sheâd gotten after a turbulent first meeting, Harriet anxiously waited as the phone began to ring.
ââŚHello?â
âMayor Masters,â she said, the excitement in her voice betraying more emotion than was professionally necessary, âdo you know how rude it is to leave a girl waiting to hear back from you?â
âAh, miss Chin,â he began, loudly clearing his throat, âhow lovely to hear from you again. Calling with another enticing proposition no doubt?â
Turning scarlet in the back of her taxi, Harriet was glad Vlad couldnât see her face at the mention of their last encounter but kept her composure nonetheless. âNow, now Mayor Masters,â she said, â I wouldnât want to spoil you just yet. Besides, what you call a proposition, I call another opportunity for some old friends to reconnect, this weekend, maybe?â
There was a bit of hesitation on Vladâs end as Harriet heard the muffled sounds of arguing but she simply waited for him to give a response.âOh, well I definitely have some things to move around,â he began, the outcome of his quarrel unsure, âbut this has been a⌠stressful week for me, so⌠yes, Iâd love to get together. Do you have a venue planned or should I make a reservation somewhere so we can further, ah, discuss future arrangements?â
Mentally celebrating her victory, Harriet quietly composed herself for the negotiationâs killing blow. Â âNo,no, Iâve got it all planned out,â she said, a devilish grin spreading across her face, âyou just be ready.â
âExcellent, just send me the details when you get a chance then, but right now Iâm afraid I have an⌠annoyance⌠ to deal with. Ta-ta.â
âVladimir Sebastian Masters,â she teased, âare you embarrassed by a little exposed skin?â
Still smiling to herself as they drove over the Elmerton bridge, Harriet began composing the details. âI hope you enjoy latex and sweat, mister mayor,â she said to herself before hitting send, âbecause we have a busy weekend ahead of us.â
----------
As Vlad attempted to cover his chest for the sixth time since theyâd arrived, Harriet couldnât help but laugh.
Burying his face in his hands and shaking his head as she adjusted the straps of her boots, his cheeks flushed a deep crimson as they made their way into the crowded convention center. He knew he should have been more insistent on the details before he agreed to anything but his overconfidence in his ability to manipulate a situation had once again left him caught off guard.
âHarriet,â he began, keeping his eyes level under the brim of his hat, partially to avoid tripping and partially to avoid making eye contact with the various women they were passing, âwhen you told me to wear something appropriate, I thought weâd be going somewhere more⌠distinguished.â
âCâmon Vladdy,â Harriet said, an evil smile dancing on her face, âwhatâs more distinguished than that.â
As if on queue, a large man whose outfit consisted mostly of leather straps and knife sheaths walked past the pair of them, taking extra time to compliment Vlad on his costume and causing Harriet to finally lose her grip on her laughter as she led them away. All things considered, it would have been easy for her for just to reschedule her plans around the convention sheâd been assigned to for the weekend, but that would have been letting that prick Lance Thunder get the best of her, and sheâd sooner have died. So, here they were, standing in the midst of the stateâs second largest Comic Convention dressed like-
âA joke,â Vlad said, still hiding his face from the masses, âI feel like a walking joke.â
After receiving Harrietâs text a few days ago, he had taken extreme caution in choosing an appropriate costume for the occasion. Now though, walking past booths and crowds in such a stark contrast to his companion - who wore a simple outfit of black jeans and a red shirt with a faded wonder woman symbol on it- he found himself embarrassed.
âOh lighten up, mister mayor,â she said, hooking her arm around his in a show of solidarity, âI think itâs cute you went through all this trouble just for lil olâ me.â
Giving her a half smile for a half truth, Vlad began to relax. Being honest with himself, he knew that his reasons for going over the top with his thunder god costume were only partially about fulfilling Harrietâs desires. No, more than that he was making up for lost time. During the years of his ecto acne affliction, Vlad had missed dozens of conventions out of fear of attention being called to his disproportionately marred face. But now, being here with Harriet reminded him of the better times from college; the late nights laughing with Jack as they attempted to beat their Pac-Man and Burger Time high scores, the three of them cheering Harriet on during her track races, the time Jack threw Elmer Heart into the fountain for calling the girls âChing Chong Chin and Mildew Maddieâ after theyâd waved him off during one of his drunk episodes âŚall good memories heâd shoved into a dark recess in his mind for some reason.
Temporarily lost in actual enjoyable memories for once, Vlad allowed himself to fully smile and tilt his head up. As his unrestricted gray hair draped his shoulders and his confidence returned, he proudly fell into step beside Harriet. However, all it took was momentary eye contact with another chainmail bikini warrior to cause him to cast his glances downward again.
âOkay,â Harriet announced, looking mildly annoyed at her watch, âIâm supposed to be interviewing this guy in like twenty minutes for an online article, after that, we grab a bite, then we get you out of those clothes and go salvage what light we can out of this day. You're gonna be okay while I run this guy down.â
Sweet sugar on cinnamon rolls, he thought, blushing furiously at the sight of so much free skin around him, baby steps.
Vlad noticed that the last sentence wasnât a question so much as it was a command, but he nodded agreement nonetheless.
âGreat,â she said, pulling out a tape recorder and whipping around, ânever thought Iâd say these words again but: meet me in the food court in forty-five, Iâll even let you decide what poison we put in our body from this death trap. Aaaaaaaaand break.â
To her credit, it was exactly forty five minutes until she reappeared, striding through the crowd and only looking moderately annoyed as she pulled up the chair across from Vlad.
âI trust the interview went well?â
Glaring as she snatched the cup from in front  of him and took and long drink, Harriet sighed. âI swear, what do men have against using deodorant or showering? If youâre meeting with someone to talk about your ârevolutionaryâ new project, itâs not too much to ask that you at least have the decency to introduce yourself to soap and water beforehand, right? Ughhh.â
âAh, well at least you got your story, right?â
âOh yeah, ânerds excited for new nerd shit,â more groundbreaking news at five.â
Feeling slight pity for her, Vlad offered her the pretzel heâd been nursing since they diverged.
âMy hero,â she said, a slight smile pulling at her lips, â I also appreciate you keeping the costume on while you waited.â
The costumeâŚoh god the costume. Vlad suddenly became very aware that he was still dressed as Raiden, god of thunder in a massively crowded room with countless witnesses. Attempting some form of suave recovery for this revelation, he removed his hat to meet her eyes over their comically small table.
âI figured after our⌠disastrous last meeting,  I owed you some form of levity, besides, no one will ever believe you.â
âYouâre underestimating me if you think youâre off record right now, mister mayor. But if I were off record... Iâd like to personally apologize for getting shafted by that blonde idiot into writing a puff piece for NerdCon when we should be doing almost anything else right now.â
âNo apologies necessary,â he said, âthis is far from the biggest indignity Iâve suffered since being elected into office⌠off record of course.â
Feeling the twinges of pulitzer-prize winning hunger coming on, Harriet began setting up the killing blow. âSo, on the record now, how about an exclusive for me: why the pajamas? What does Raiden mean to you?â
Narrowing his eyes as the game began, Vlad pulled his cup back and smiled. âAh, after another mayoral exclusive, I see?â
âMaybe, maybe not, but if this nerd shit doesnât pull readers Iâd like to have a fall back to shove into Lanceâs punk ass face if he tries me again.â
He could respect that line of logic. âTsk tsk tsk, such language. But I suppose I could throw you a bone.â
God I wish, Harriet thought, her face a mask of calculation. Shutting that thought down before it could marinate longer, she refocused on the absurdity of interviewing her former college friend -who was now the mayor- while he was dressed like a video game deity.
âSimply put, itâs about power. The people love him, and in turn heâs able to protect them without the interference of their own ignorance.â
Seeing the hunger in her eyes intensify as he spoke, Vlad began to elaborate. âWhen I ran for mayor, I had one goal in mind-â
Vengeance
â-taking the problems out of the peopleâs hands and bearing the responsibility for them. And like I said, they love him for it. Thereâs no fear, thereâs no resentment, thereâs the simple understanding that a god has spoken and he knows whatâs best. Heâs also not too bad in a fight if it comes down to it, but most people know better than to test him. Suffice it to say heâs an insurmountable power in the guise of a man. â
âAnd is that what you want from this position, Mayor Masters? Power to shape to the world? Presidential ambitions maybe?â
âNo, Ms. Chin,â he said, his eyes taking on an almost dreamlike quality, making his smile sadder than it previously was but also more sinister, âIâm afraid youâve misunderstood me. Iâm rich, dear, by that logic alone I already have the power to change this world anyway I see fit, but before that, I have to show the people that I know the way.â
âHmm,â she said, momentarily stunned by the intensity in his voice, âspoken like a true politician.â
âI am what I am, Harriet,â he responded, âitâs like I told Daniel months ago⌠itâs chess really, you have to stay moves ahead.â
âMhmm, so is that why youâre dressed like Gandalfâs electrician brother while drinking an overpriced mall smoothie? Some really advanced tactics at play?â
Itâs amazing how much truth can come out when youâve made the decision to underestimate your opponent in a game you werenât aware had started. âObviously Iâm only gaining your favor to use you later once the citizens turn on me after discovering the skeletons in my closet.â
âMy mother was right then, you do only want me for my body, ugh, men⌠youâre all the same.â
âDarling trust me, Iâm an entirely different breed.â
âOh yeah,â she asked, narrowing her eyes, âis that why ghosts keep blowing up your house?â
Simply. Amazing.
âI believe thatâs a conversation for another day,â he responded, watching the cosplayers pass by then, âpreferably one where we arenât surrounded by half naked strangers draped in latex.â
âWell youâre no fun.â
âAgain, Iâm rich dear, I donât have to be fun.â
âAlright, moneybags,â she teased, taking his hat and adjusting it onto her own head, âI believe you were in charge of lunch plans, and I know olâ âVlad the Inhalerâ isnât gonna be full off some kiosk smoothie full of berries the seller canât even pronounce and a pretzel, so whatâll it be?â
âWell seeing as I doubt youâre putting yourself on the menu-â
The voice in Harrietâs head had a field day with that scenario but her face held only a minute amount of interest.
â-Iâve decided that weâre going to leave, thereâs a steakhouse near here that has a porterhouse simply beyond words, and I think weâve both suffered enough indignation that we deserve it.â
âAnd should the silverware start floating again?â
âWell⌠ Iâve always wanted to own a restaurant.â
âYou do know how to show a girl a good time,â she said, hooking her arms through his despite the embarrassed look he was trying to hide, âstill, Iâm sorry to have dragged you here and put you on the back burner.â
âPlease,â he said, holding up a previously unseen bag from under the table, âit isnât as though Iâm walking away entirely empty handed.â
Watching as she inquisitively raised her eyebrow and the corner of her mouth peaked into a smile, Vlad found himself unable to meet her eyes. âIâm allowed to enjoy myself Harriet, there are worse things in the world than a self made man broadening his horizons.â
âAre these horizons broad enough for you to keep your snazzy costume on through dinner?â
Laughing, Vlad began using his free hand to pull his curtain of hair back into its usual ponytail, already craving the feeling of being in formal wear again. âSweet caramel corn no, as soon as we exit this building Iâm finding a tailor, a furnace to dispose of the evidence and swearing you to silence.â
âJust hope that Thunder doesnât test me then,â Harriet responded as they stepped outside into the beginning of a storm, âI hear youâve supposedly got a pretty good handle on that element.â

After a brief stint with the Milwaukee Journal, also known as the only publication which would take her seriously after that incident with the New Yorker, Harriet Chin decided that she needed a breath of fresh air. Preferably, fresh air in the utterly ghost-infested gutter town that was Amity Park.
Sheâd gotten a job as a reporter at the local TV station, and was currently chasing a ghost flinging itself through the air at 60 miles per hour, after chasing it from where theyâd just spotted the Wisconsin Ghost. Which, notably, was definitely no longer residing in Wisconsin. This new ghost looked like it was fleeing â probably the only good response when youâve pissed off the town vampire â and screaming all the way. It was on camera.
And she truly knew, as it screamed that it was the Box Ghost, and that it was going to kill her for chasing it with its Corrugated Cardboard Doomâ˘, that this was the place for her.
