Invasion of the Anzens

What: just friendly people being good neighbors
Warnings: N/A

[ Knock knock, open up, there is some number of Anzens at your door.

Good evening. Hopefully this isn't a bad time? Enough time has passed that we figured it was a good idea to check in and make proper introductions.

You'll have to forgive the lack of housewarming gift. We're a bit shorthanded at the moment, which I'm sure you can relate to.


[ From behind her peers a perfectly average guy with tousled hair dressed in sky blue slacks. He gives a friendly wave! ]

We did think about it, though.

In my experience, quiet means something is moving where we cannot see.

Possibly. Whatever that monster was, I doubt we've seen the end of it.

If it wasn't just a harbinger... then, yes, that was merely a sample of its capabilities.

... there's a number of things it could potentially be.

A powerful spirit. A piece of something much larger.

Whatever it is, it could have killed us but did not. And the fact that it didn't tells me either it was ordered not to, could not because of protections something or someone else provided us with, or... we are not yet ready to be killed.

["eaten", "sacrificed"... there's many possibilities for that "killed"]

What do you mean by not yet ready?

... depending on why it wants us here.

If we're simply prey, then we are not "fat" enough to eat. And I don't mean it always so literally. It could be something mental or emotional or even spiritual that has not been "fatten up" yet.

If it's for a ritual, then we may not have reached the proper requirements needed to fulfill the ritual.

If it's a ritual, maybe they'll just let us go after this is over.

Not optimism, just a moment of wishful thinking. It's never that easy.

I haven't.

I'll make time now to do so before I go out to check the night sky this evening.
