    Summary

    "Do you...have a name? A...a thing you're call--"

    Blood blood blood. Death. Death and rot thick in the water and settling, settling. Bloody carcass in a shallow hollow of sand.

    "Jesus."

    Blood. Carcass. Heavy red water lingering.

    "Fuck, I get it."

    Blood.

    "I get it! 'Deadpool.'"

    Satisfaction.

    Summary

    There is a popular game in Snezhnaya, one that originates as an activity to keep children occupied during the long winter days stuck indoors while arctic winds howl outside, knocking against doors and windows and carrying with it a violent storm of ice and frost. The game has since been adopted into a drinking game by bored young adults similarly trapped inside those cold, dark grueling months.

    The game’s rules go something like this. Each person takes a turn telling two truths and one lie about themselves while the rest of the participants have to pluck out the lie. If the guessers guessed wrong, the person telling the information gets the point. If the guesser guessed right, then the person gets no points.

    There is no real end to this game. Children play it until they become bored, adults play it until they become drunk.

    Childe plays it until…

    Come to think of it, Childe’s not entirely sure why he’s playing.

    --

    A Childe introspection story where he tries to find his heart.

    Summary

    That’s got to be the weirdest looking dog Ajax has ever seen in his life.

    At least, Ajax thinks it’s a dog. It’s got scraggly little ginger tufts of fur around the neck and a strip of wild fur running down the spine like a mohawk, ending in more bushy, fluffy fur bits sprouted at the end of the tail. There are also some sort of strange protrusions from its head, like antlers, or maybe tumours? Fuck if Ajax knows, he’s not a medical professional.

    But even with his lack of medical knowledge, he knows the dog-thing is in bad shape; it’s so covered in dirt and blood that Ajax can’t even tell what colour it is beneath all that grime.

    --

    In which Ajax finds, what he calls in his mind, a "Dog-Lizard", on his random walk around the city and accidentally becomes a pet parent without realizing he's adopted a god.

    Summary

    He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--

    Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.

    -

    Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.
