Yestermonth — First month in yesteryear!

BETWEEN THE DARK COLORS that make up his outfit  ,  and the way the shadow of his hat masks his face  ,  one would think that The Spine fit right into Luctenmire. In fact  ,  he’s had a few denizens wave to him or engage in polite conversation as he passed by  ─  which was something he really wasn’t used to. The assimilation  ,  the way they welcomed him without batting an eye  ,  it really was all rather strange.

If there was any doubt in Irving's mind that this is all some sick joke, some further punishment ( death would have been too much of a mercy, in Lumon's eyes ), that doubt is banished the second he steps foot into Glacier's Peak, grey skies and ice and snow. It's fitting, he'll give them that; sending him back to Woe's Hollow to work the rest of his days. He stands in front of the suspiciously house-shaped building he's been directed to ( he double-checked the key many times to be sure, thank you ), closing his hands into fists and then reopening them. Whatever he finds in there, whoever he's working with—

But it's empty.

Well, not empty empty. It's furnished. Extravagantly so, in fact. There's an office with just one desk and shelves and shelves of books ( manuals? some new guidance from Kier he's meant to follow, as though there weren't already enough? ) and a kitchen with a stove and there's beds. It's all very, you know, long-term arrangement-like. Dread starts to sink in.

He steps back outside in a hurry, looks left, then right. Next door a man is stepping out onto a porch very similar to his own and Irving rushes to him, pointing over his shoulder at his own office space. House. Whatever it is they're calling it.

Thank you for completing your paperwork in a timely manner! Now, let's see here…

The eccentric figure takes back the clipboard and reads through your answers carefully, polite interest in his expression as he nods.

"You know, I feel like I missed a memo or something with what you've written here.. but I can respect the desire to put on a good show! Or, parable, I guess. Either way, given your answers, I think you'll fit right in at GLACIER'S PEAK, where oddities are as many as the snowflakes falling from the ice-blue sky. The ethereal landscapes almost distract you from the terrifying creatures lurking around the snow. I'm sure you'll do just fine - just watch your step!"

With that, they hand you a gift bag containing the following items:

A house key for EQUINOX AVENUE 102

A palm-sized cellular device, complete with access to the internet!

A singular wrapped butterscotch. Enjoy!
