Your POV
You were running through a dark alleyway. You heard the footsteps chasing you, keeping pace with you. Your breath was heavy and labored. You knocked over trash cans to try and throw off your chaser. That didn't seem to stop him though. You panicked and ran into an abandoned building. You decided to take shelter behind some random crates.
"It's time." Your chaser said." It's time to check your vibes."
You held back some tears and bit down on your lip to make sure you didn't make any noise.
"It's vibe check time." Your chaser teased you.
You crawled between the crates trying your best to not make any noise. You then tripped a little and knocked over some crates. You swore a little bit and heard footsteps run over to you. A tall figure stood in front of you. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit and a jester mask.
"W-what d-do y-you want?" You stuttered nervously.
"Your vibes hand them over." He demanded.
He held out his hand and you shook nervously. You dug into your purse and pulled out your wallet. You then handed over your vibe card. The guy pulled out a device and swiped your vibe card. He then frowned and handed the vibe card back to you. His eyes then began to glow.
"You failed the vibe check." He stated.
"Huh?????" You replied nervously." I swear my vibes are fine."
"I, Jim Root will now vibe check you." Jim said.
"Oh shit." You mumbled under your breath.
Jim held out his hand and a baseball bat appeared in it. The wind was picking up and blowing your hair around.
"Why is this so dramatic?" You shouted over the wind.
Jim didn't reply, instead he held up the baseball bat.
"YEET!" Jim shouted.
