Lester reeled from pain and shock. He wanted to ask why all this was happening, but between the bullet hole in his abdomen and the knife being brandished at him by his coworker, he was at a loss for words.
"If you do a damn thing, your liver is next." Putman growled at him.
The caretaker crossed her arms. "Leave the kid, dear, we have more important things to attend to."
Putman turned around. "Of course... are you alright, my lady?" Putman asked softly, barely audible over Lester's pained gasps.
"I am. Thank you, dear." the caretaker replied.
They gazed at each other for a time before she gave him a small kiss.
Lester could hardly process what was happening at this point. It was surreal and dreamlike, watching his partner kiss the Mother Hound in a dank room of decomposing livers. His fingers twitched as he drew them away from the bleeding wound and moved them towards the gun he had dropped, only for the caretaker's heeled shoe to painfully come down on his hand.
"Mind your hands, boy, or you might lose them." she said, digging her heel into his palm as she bent over and took the gun from Lester's reach. As she took the gun into her hands, the metal withered away at her touch, as if rotting, until it was nothing but dust in her fingers.
"Prime," she said, turning her head towards Putman. "It is almost time. I have to hurry and make the preperations. I have two of brothers and sisters coming to make sure you get the job done." She spun on her heel and headed out the door.
"Wait---Magdelena, what do you mean? Do you not trust me to get the job done?" Putman replied, sounding strained.
The caretaker gave a forced smile. "I trust you, dear... but I can't take any chances this late in the game. I'm sure you understand." Lester felt the weight lift from his bruised hand as Magdelena picked up her heel and headed out the door, leaving him and Putman alone with the livers.
Putman advanced towards Lester, knife in hand.
"But... why...?" Lester wheezed, shakily propping himself up. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because," Putman replied coldly, "she is the mother of my children."

Chill, some of you are so rude. Many people put effort and money and time into this and all you can do is whine, bug off, don't catch the pets, don't get the souls, don't sign up with a group stay off for 2 weeks and *POOF* event never happened grouches

FFS, will people stop acting as if not liking something makes a person scum of the earth and having the audacity to voice a negative opinion is on par with murder? I'm getting more than a little tired of all the snooty, unneeded white-knighting going on in these comments. If I were Jester, I'd be far more insulted by the users assuming I'm such a delicate snowflake/flower hybrid that I can't handle anything less than glowing praise than the people who assume someone who puts this much effort into an event would actually like honest feedback. Calm the eff down or get off the internet, because you're certainly not acting like you're mature enough to be here.

Does this mean more pets are coming out? (I hope)
or hounds we can catch?

Being rude will only get things taken away/look bad on the community. If you have honest complaints about the length of the event there's always the suggestions area of the forums. Jester has already addressed that things didn't quite go as planned, things were delayed etc. I do agree that at the least the soul collecting went on for far too long, but Jester admitted that as well. Acting rude/hostile/etc about it will do -nothing-. Acting like it's the end of the world will do -nothing-. Yes people have some valid complaints, and yes they are right to voice them. But please at least keep it civil when you make complaints, or nothing will ever be done. People will only see you as rude/immature rather than someone with an honest concern about how something was run and nothing will improve next time.

I for one am glad that this event was more drawn out, with a job and school I can't be on every day. So I thank the staff for that, actually. And it was a cool event :)

Is it bad that any time a news post is posted, I wait for the fighting? It's inevitable and shouldn't amuse me this much... I'm a bad person sometimes...

You've got 3 choices, Pheobe- you can ignore it, you can get pissed at it, or you can enjoy it. You just chose the most entertaining of the three.
