That was strange. That was very strange. But I think I'm going to worry about that another time. For now, I'm going to pick up my knife, put it in my pocket, and press down on the cut on my arm with my palm.
"Is that what happens when they die?"

Before Malo can answer, you hear the wail of sirens in the distance.
"HALT! YOU'RE BOTH UNDER ARREST FOR THE MURDER OF A MS. FINKLEBURG, WELL KNOWN FLESHKNITTER AND MEMBER OF SOCIETY!"

How the fuck would they know who killed who so fucking FAST?!
Seriously, this place is nuts
Ok, time to run the fuck away.
I grab the hand of the girl and try to run further down the road, away from the fucking coppers.

Wait, the both of us are under arrest? But the weird skull guy is the one who killed her!
I run with him, if only because I like the idea of staying attached to my hand. "So there's Fleshknitters, Paperboys... What are you, a Skull Kid?" I yell at him as we run.

"Dunno, are you a fucking Knife Gal?"
Trying to find more populated regions. Or better - a door to the real world.
Fuck, I don't really smoke that often (cause it messes with your lungs yo) but I know I fucking need a cig now.
"You know where should we go?

As you run, you can see someone running up behind you. He's a giant police officer with... A clock for a head? He has a mouth full of gears instead of teeth.
"HALT! IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!"
His voice has a thick scottish accent.
You should probably find somewhere to go if you're not gonna stay and fight.

"Look for a door!" I yell to the Skull Kid. "Something that looks more real this place or at least that looks like it has a big sturdy lock on it!"

Oh fuck a giant clockface copper. I curse my luck under my breath as we run like we would have a devil at our heels, which is precisely what is happening.
Not gonna stay and fight cause we will fucking lose.
"So you know something about this place! You were here before? Or you live here?" I ask as we still run, a bit closer to the city proper, and maybe hopefully, safety.

As you run, you can slowly hear a voice droning on.
"This is the time, And this is the record of the time. This is the time, And this is the record... Of the time. This is the time..."
You can hear a single ringing noise.
BONNNNNNNNNG!
Officer Tock seems to slow down a bit, the gears in his mouth stop turning so fast.
You're back in the Air Fort
You can see someone approaching you ridiculously fast. You can't quite tell, but it's almost as if they're literally dissapearing and re-appearing a few feet away from where they were.

I start to respond, but stop when the ringing starts. And prospect of answering that question is ended when I see the vanishing person.
Great, someone else to worry about. And that clock guy's still after us. I reach down to grab my pocketknife, just in case this new person is as bad as the old woman fleshknitter was.

Fuck no. Just. I had enough bullshit today. A vanishing fucktard is just what I had needed.
"HEY, YOU! STOP WHERE YOU STAND, NOW."
If he won't, I will slip between seconds again. I hope I would know how to.
... Man, I need a fucking break, really.

As the disappearing person draws closer, you can see that whenever they teleport, there's static. Eventually, she reaches you, and before you can react she grabs you both by the arm. She starts teleporting away from Tock, and as you teleport you start feeling colder.
"Calm down. I'm here to help."

"Hey wait what, what the fuck, HOW?!"
My brain draws a fucking blank.
Yeah, it's definetely too much to process on one take.
"Where are you taking us? Why it's getting colder?"

"I'm taking you to the other Awakened. It's getting colder because we're teleporting through a void of pure static, and apparently it's damn cold there. Also, it's safer than running."
She turns to Reka.
"After all, the Roof Rats are looking for you right now. They'll kill you if you come back without killing any Paper Boys."

Well that just figures. I try to decide what I want to ask about first. I don't remember hearing anything about anything called Awakened before, but that someone's looking for me in particular is concerning.
"Just how dangerous are Roof Rats? Would the Paper Boys be wiling to offer me protection from them? Or would it be better to actually do what they want me to?"
