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."

After reading the comments here, I'd be kinda surprised if anyone else attempted another ambitious site-wide event with a plot like this for a while. Yikes.

I want to thank Jester for the wonderful event they created and the staff that helped him/her out. I loved the pets, the soul-collecting, and the story line. Can't wait for the seasonal shop to open, but overall, I had a great time with this event. :) Thanks again.

The plot would be more interesting if we actually played a part in it. Like, find a certain amount of clues in the adventure area or some junk like that. As it is, the plot is interesting, but it is just turning into an M.Night movie towards the end where every five seconds there is some huge twist that just leaves you wanting the thing to be over because there are so many.

Sigh... Complain about it taking too long or complain about the bad plot: pick one or the other. I'm already running on a highly condensed version of the plot because I wasn't really well enough to take care of the event as well as I wanted to and because people were complaining about it being long almost as soon as it started. I would have loved to actually make the damn thing long enough to have everything make sense without being left field plot twist after left field plot twist, but between people's gotta-go-fast expectations and my health that wasn't exactly possible to make everything smooth and coordinated. I already feel embarrassed enough that I have to put out such a watered down version of what I wanted to do, you guys don't have to make it worse. Also, keep in mind this is a user event, meaning aside from coloration submissions I made EVERYTHING and wrote EVERYTHING as a volunteer. Meaning I don't get a dime for my work. I ran a bunch of contests, wrote a story, had (and still have to) draw a bunch of art for said story, make pet colorations, and 50+ items, many of which are wearable.
I'm not usually a "NO CRITS, YOU WILL HURT MY FEELINGS" kind of person but I kinda spent 200~ GP and countless hours on this event. You don't have to participate or read newsposts if you don't want to.

How is this story going to have a happy end? I'm just dying to see how the contest between the cultists and resistance turned out, and whether/how it'll affect the storyline.
