Spiffy? never heard of him in my life... Why is he doing this?

bbh: SKEPPY, are you feeling ok? what is he doing to you?

spifey: oH, that wasn't supposed to happen. My bad. This was only for the villagers

bbh: wHY WOULD YOU EVEN DO THAT!?

spifey: it's inevitable, I'm sorry. I must steal braincells from someone or I won't have any purpose in life left! I̷t̵'̸s̸ ̵m̷y̶ ̵h̴o̸b̴b̷i̸e̵ ̸a̵n̷d̵ ̵p̸a̴s̶s̸i̴o̷n̵

For the last thousands of years, Spifey has been stealing and eating braincells to gain power. He is selective though; as he usually says, "a villager has less braincells than a rock, so stealing a few more won't affect them at all".
He goes from one village to another, always presenting himself as a type of magician and stealing the braincells from anyone who watches him, being also why he calls his show a "stream"

The only thing he didn't count on, was that the villagers may loose some memory after these streams and won't remember him, so he would accidently go back to the same spot over and over again, draining the energy of the same villagers and reducing their abbilities to work on their profession.

Spifey looked at skeppy, who was still using badboyhalo as a support since he wasn't ready to walk at his own, with a weird look

spifey: wait a second, aren't you supposed to be in pain right now? you seem more calm than what i expected...

skeppy: heh, your special attack doesn't affect me at all because I already lost all my brain cells with this guy *chuckles*

bbh: HE-

Before he could finish, a really loud noise covered the entire village.
Villagers started running in panic, some of them locking themselves in their houses and others just praying

*HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK*

What is going on?

Villager: that will be 114 dollars

a6d: thanks

A6d had been buying everything they needed to continue. He even rent a small house so they could sleep there and not be expossed to mobs too much.
Checking what he was carrying in his bag, he counted a heal pool, 3 golden apples, some cheesy fries, a Dr Pepper, a baguette ofc, and a bucket

If I only had some emeralds, I could have bought some armor or weapons... The $1000 aren't that valuable here. Oh well, maybe we can try in another village

He continued walking through the village, inspecting for other traders and tents, but everything seemed... empty?

a6d: what the fuck is going on here... a second before the whole place was full and now they are gone? It's not even dark, so mobs won't appear...

Suddenly, he felt someone grab him from the shirt. The person looked like one of the customers, so he thought they might be there to ask the same as he thought OR to steal his items.
Before he could react, he felt the body of the person going forward, almost making him trip. He got even more nervious

a6d: dude, what the fuck is wrong with you!? Do you know what personal sp-

That is when he realized, the person was dead. Their eyes were blank, no expression on them, while small scarlet lines started covering their whole face. An arrow could be seen pocking out of their head, probably being what caused his death.
