THERE'S A DARKNESS LURKING IN THE SHADOWS, BUT THE TRUTH BEHIND ITS ORIGINS IS EVEN DARKER. They tell you as a child not to go wandering around at night, especially alone. That's when they come out: the Wendigos. In the daytime, they look like the rest of us. They work in the same professions, entertain the same hobbies, send their children to school alongside our own. The only thing you won't see them do is eat. Some may pretend, or sneak off just after eating to throw up while no one is watching, but they won't consume their actual sustenance in public. Instead, they wait until night. Hiding, waiting, hunting for one of us, someone drunk or stupid or foolishly brave, that didn't heed the words that'd been preached to them since birth. And then they feed.

"Some unfinished business is more important than others. For some, that business is solved immediately after their death, so they're cleared to live the afterlife of their dreams. Of course though, in the case of murder..." "You want me to solve your murder?" "What? No! I mean, yes! I mean, I don't want to put the burden on you? Where did you even get that from that statement?" --- When Eliza was accidentally locked into the Hot Topic she worked at overnight, she didn't expect to meet the ghost of a dead, emo teenager. More importantly, she didn't expect to investigate a crime that hit closer to home than she expected. (first draft: so expect little errors and things of the like. :) )

In a world where superpowers make you either a celebrity or a criminal, Aether chose a long time ago where she stands. A metahuman who can change her appearance, Aether is currently on top of the game, the public face of government-sponsored superheroes in United America. She does have her share of problems: petty criminals, annoying coworkers, supervillains who have escaped justice for far too long... and the growing sense that being on top of the game just means having a target on her back. At the other end of the scale, the villain Lucid has just been forced out of hiding and back into the game - by a reporter who paid for her nosiness with her life. Lucid reluctantly joins up with the other supervillains and is immediately sucked into a convoluted scheme that could change the definition of superhumanity. Aether is having trouble trusting her teammates as they scramble to keep innocent civilians out of the crossfire. The question is: if Lucid just wants to quit the game, why is she so hell-bent on taking Aether out with her?
