a haunting melody hummed from just beyond eyesight, down an alleyway obscured by the low light and mist. why did the song sound so familiar? it scratched at some sense just beyond her periphery- a thought that was just out of reach, begging to bury itself into her memory.

something felt... off.

an elderly spirit that victoria worked with when they first passed was lingering at the end of the walk, the tune on their lips and a deep confusion etched into the lines around their eyes. victoria offered her a hand.

You jolt awake when someone finds you wandering along a street near the water’s edge in Holy Island. You are on your way home as the voice in your mind tells you, but all you can think of is the song you just heard and the same beautiful voice that sang it to you as you put one foot in front of the other.

Oh, what you would give to hear that voice in real life again!

When you are asked by a fellow member of the supernatural community if you are okay you tell them ‘yes, what could possibly be not okay?’ There is nothing out of the ordinary that night, not even that beautiful song that promised to fulfil your deepest desire should you do as it told you to.

As the days pass, the song will be but a distant haunting memory in your mind…

You walk past an alleyway near the docks in The Shipyard and notice a lone figure standing at the far end. They are swaying on their feet, looking dazed and mumbling something under their breath.

As you draw closer and reach out to touch them, they startle and turn towards you. It is someone you recognise from the supernatural community, a fellow spirit, and the dazed look on their face clears up as their eyes focus on you. You ask them what they are doing in the alley and they tell you that they got lost, which is strange because they know this district very well. They also tell you that they do not quite remember getting to the alley and the last thing they remember was the tail end of a song before you found them in this alley…

What are you going to do about this?
