    Summary

    The server returned the way a dying machine coughs back to life. Slow and uneven. Reality loaded in layers. First came the sky: flat and pale, clouds frozen like painted brushstrokes. Then the mountain. Then the ground beneath Tango’s back.

    He gasped sharply as gravity remembered him and slammed him onto the dirt. “Damn it!”

    The impact knocked the breath from his lungs. Dust puffed around him as he lay there, blinking up at the sky. For several long seconds, the world flickered between frames: trees phasing in and out, shadows sliding across the terrain like they couldn’t decide where they belonged.

    Summary


    "I'm fine," Tango muttered warily. He didn't feel fine, but the man being an arms-length away was already too close to bear. Maybe he was glad he hadn't gone home. "I'll be fine. I'm alive, aren't I?"

    I hope, at least.

    The priest looked taken aback, but adjusted himself to the new distance. "Right, right," he said, clearing his throat. "But - well, there's more to being alright than just being alive." The man's eyes trailed along Tango's form, dirtied, bloodied, and beaten as it was, and Tango's insides squirmed at the attention. Maybe he just shouldn't have come back to town at all.

    -

    Or: Tango deals with the aftermath of dying in the woods, and waking up.

    Summary

    Jimmy kinda had to admit: he might be in a little over his head. Just a smidgen.

    Rock dust showered down over him as another shot hit the rock he was sheltering behind, his hat keeping most of it from his eyes. He clutched his hat as he ducked forward. Raising his revolver, he shakily checked his rounds, finding three bullets still in the chambers. A hand groped around for his ammunition pouch on his belt, drawing a few rounds out and trying to load them with a shaking hand.

    He found the right poster and held it up, glancing between the sketched face beneath the ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive’ and the man in front of him.

    Yep, that was Tango Tek alright.

    Jimmy wasn't looking for the guy with the big bounty, but he found him anyway.

    Summary

    It starts and ends when Martyn realizes how much of Oakhurst has been turned.

    He runs and runs, because all he has ever tried to do is survive. All he ever tried to do was keep himself and those around him alive.

    He runs because he is terrified.

    And just like it did for Pyro and Shelby, it starts for Martyn in Oakhurst—and ends on a beach.

    It ends with…

    ---

    “Stay back,” Martyn rasped. He meant to bark the order—instead, his words came out flimsy. He sounded tired; he sounded scared.

    Owen considered him, head tilted. “It seems like I’m not the only one who has had a bad day.”

    ---

    Faced with the reality of just how many people in Oakhurst have turned, Martyn panics and makes a big mistake. Oakhurst is met with a new development, potentially the scariest one yet, that leads them to reassess the severity of their situation. Owen seizes an opportunity to gain an asset and send a message.

    Summary

    “Thank you so much,” Jimmy tells her, pouring every ounce of sincerity into his words—and he truly does mean it. Pearl is risking possibly her only friend just to honor her deal with Jimmy. And maybe that should make him feel worse, because at the end of the day, it’s pity fueling the kind words and actions given to the Ranchers—but Jimmy looks at Pearl and sees nothing but guilt in her exhausted expression. No matter what Scott might say about her, Pearl is a kind soul that just wants a friend and has received nothing but unfair scrutiny.

    Jimmy throws her a bone, gives her a chance to take it all back. Maybe he isn’t as eager to get burned by his foolhardy trust as he thought he was. “Are you sure?”

    “Yeah.” Pearl waves a flippant hand—all but throwing the metaphorical bone back in Jimmy’s face. “You have it. I can’t just leave like that, that’s not me.”

    Unbeknownst to Pearl, Jimmy decides right then and there that Pearl is Team Rancher’s best friend.

    Or:

    Pearl befriends Team Rancher. This changes everything and nothing at all.

    Summary

    Joel works in a secondhand record store and would rather be anywhere else. When it turns out his overly-talkative regular customer is friends with the hosts of his favourite radio show, though, his whole life flips on its head.

    Joel didn’t mean to ruin his sleep schedule for some graveyard shift talk show. Etho didn’t mean to crush on the guy selling him dusty records. And Tango just wants to pull off his plans for a combination season-finale-slash-birthday-party without everything explodificating on him. But somehow, between old music discs, a chaotic group chat full of dinguses, and an unfolding ARG, their fates have interwoven in ways none of them would expect.

    “I’m not one of those weirdos who tries to stalk the hosts and find out what they all look like.”

    Sure, Joel.

    Summary

    Magic splits across the void like a lightning bolt, straight into his soul, red-hot and fiery. It’s a noise of color in an otherwise dull and endless blackness. His drink shatters onto the ground as Impulse snaps up. Brimstone and sulfur choke his tongue as he stumbles toward the Swaggon port window.

    Someone is summoning him.

    No, not just anyone.

    Tango.

    Summary

    “You can't.” Jimmy blurted. “Tango, please. I- you won’t report me, right?”

    “You just killed Skizz!” Tango exclaimed, backing away.

    “You can’t!” Jimmy pleaded. He dropped the knife. “I- please, Tango.”

    “I- what do you want me to do?!” Tango laughed incredulously, his voice creeping towards hysterics. “You killed Skizz! It was you! You’re the other killer!”

    “I don’t want to kill you!” Jimmy protested.

    “What- like you’ve got a choice here!?” Tango yelped. “You’re dead if I report you, buddy!”
