It's been a number of days since Johriel and Jono first encountered that invisible monster.

She wasn't afraid of it then and she's not now.

However.

(That creature is beginning to irritate me,) she informs Jono with characteristic haughtiness. (Must we keep fleeing every time it starts up its racket?)

When a man's an empty kettle.
He should be on his mettle.


It's amazing what boredom can drive a person to do. In this case, Jono has found that there is remarkably little to do when stranded in post-apocalyptic, invisible monster filled Blackpool. Since neither he nor Johriel eat, there's no need to search for food. Neither of them sleep, so there's no need to pass the time by sleeping.

And yet I'm torn apaaaaaart.

They've been there four days now.

In Jono's case, he's resorted to telepathically singing at Johriel in the most annoying way he possibly can. He presumes her reactions will be amusing.

Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kinda human.


Pressing a hand to his chest: If I only had a heeeaaaart.

So, one moment, Jono had been in a Weapon X stronghold, waiting the second session of reconstructive surgery that would restore his face. They'd already restored his neck, and Jono hadn't quite managed to get over that yet. He kept rubbing at it, to make sure it was real and solid, not going to fall away any second.

The flash of light had been an unwelcome surprise. What he saw when the light had cleared was even more unwelcome. He was in the centre of some clearly wrecked city on the coast. No Weapon X soldiers in sight, no stronghold, no scientists. No doctors to put his face back together.

Jono doesn't speak - There's nobody for him to project his thoughts to, after all. The explosion that engulfs several of the buildings around him, however, should speak for itself.
