Hello! My name is Iris! I am a Kith, not a Stagehand. We have all come here from a different Remnant of reality after we received these [item]Shadow Stage Pamphlet[/item]s inviting us here for a performance. It was, um, an interesting show. It was much more... uh, violent than I think any of us were expecting. Thank you for helping all of us. I think everyone is just a bit taken aback by everything we've seen here. Let me introduce you to some of the other Kith! I'd love to explain more about our homes and-

SHHH! Hold your tongue, we aren't alone. You may not be a Stagehand, but [i]that[/i] certainly is. [center][img]https://tatteredweave.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/kiths/kith/color/stage1_image/213/lantern_black-1.png[/img][/center] When did it even get there? Grrr, I've let myself get distracted. You, Stagehand, since when is the Wolf a role the Narrator has ever needed watched? Leave us! Go and actually serve the Creator elsewhere. You'll find nothing to report here! I'll keep the order as I always have. Leave my pack and prey be. … …... There, it's gone. Those of you still without a mask are lucky I was here. Anyone caught out of their role is taken to the castle to be dealt with by the Narrator himself. That Stagehand was just watching, but if it's reporting back on your involvement, we can expect one of the [i]aggressive[/i] ones to show up next. You all better hurry and get a mask on. I might clothe you, but I'm not stepping into a snare just for your sake.

That... THAT WAS A KITH! What happened to it!? Why did it feel like... it was [i]wrong[/i]? Like it's been twisted into a mere shadow of its true self. Is that how this Narrator person treats his Allies?! Those poor little ones... I...I won't stand for this! Where is this Narrator? I'm going to give him a piece of mind over what it means to be a proper Ally! If he can't treat his Kith well then he doesn’t deserve to be bonded with them!

[i]You don't understand.[/i] No one goes against the Narrator's will and lives to tell the tale. Didn't you see what happened to Hero? Did you learn nothing?! If you go storming up to the castle, that is [i]it[/i], it will be curtains for you and all those you prowl with. Do you really want to doom everyone else in your pack? I don't know what you're going on about with "Kith" and partners, but I can promise you that everything here is by the Narrator's design. It is as it has always been and always [i]meant[/i] to be. If you choose to go against that then I want nothing to do with you. Go back from whence you came, back to nothing. Clearly you do not belong here on the Narrator's stage.

No! I am not going to leave any little ones who are suffering behind! I have to save them! And if you won't help me, I'll find someone else who will! It's not my intention to cause you any trouble Miss Wolf, but I cannot just stand idly by and watch this play out. Students, I'm not sure what is going on, but after everything we've seen here so far I am certain it's not safe. I know some of you may wish to return home to Hope and I understand that you have to protect yourselves and your Allies. But any of you that can stay to give me aid and help that poor Kith, I welcome wholeheartedly. For now I'm going to look for someone else who can help us here on the Stage. -- [url=/forum_subcategories/86/forum_topics/5835][Continue to next Event post][/url]

Ok fine I'll put on a mask and ruin my costume, happy?

What- What you're told to do, [i]what you are expected to be,[/i] isn't always right. I'm not, I won't, I can't just sit here and watch these people suffer. C'mon guys, we've got a job to do. We're going to help these people, and those, those poor kith.

These kith need our help. And maybe Wolf and any others still surviving could use a hand, too. I'm staying to do what I can.

I'm bringing out my scalyx pack, fairly certain I'll need all the barking backup i can get. ...those poor kith...

Oh, those poor darlin's. What in the world happened to them? They don't even [i]look[/i] like Kith anymore..
