FREEDOM IS THE GRAND ILLUSION

New Orleans, 1937: The Great Depression rages, suffering is rampant, and hope for the future is all but extinguished. William McKenna, formerly of the New York City Police Department, has blown into town looking for a desperately-needed job opportunity and finds himself a stranger in a strange land. Before long, however, he's sucked back into the world of intrigue and investigation-courtesy of none other than Tom Wilkins, a.k.a. The Showstopper.

But the reunion is far from the happy occasion McKenna expected. His one-time friend has changed, and not for the better-and carries with him the baggage of years of misfortune, including a son who'd rather be anyone else's but his. To make matters worse, Wilkins bears the news that as rumblings of war roil Europe, German spies are at work infiltrating the United States-and the estranged acquaintances may be all that stand in their way.

Forced to team up with a local mob enforcer and a spitfire Secret Service agent, McKenna is in way over his head...and the coming battle is one not one they can all survive.

Spreading (Antisepticeye, Darkiplier, Natemare, etc.) by Junebug227

{COMPLETED} The air is thick and cold. You're sitting up in a hard chair. A headache forms as you slowly blink your eyes open. It doesn't take more than two seconds for you to realize they're covered. Oh no, you think. This can't be happening again. You reach for your head, but your hands don't move. You pull again, and figure out that they're handcuffed. It's all too familiar. "No," you say, beginning to panic. "No, no!" "Oh yes," a deep voice says. You freeze. The voice belongs to whoever took you. The blindfold is removed from your eyes. You see two familiar faces in front of you. "Welcome back, (y/n)," Antisepticeye grins. He glitches in front of you. Darkiplier stands next to him. Sequel for Virus! (I highly suggest you check that one out first!) Antisepticeye and Darkiplier are back for revenge, and this time they're not alone... About a year after the incident in Ireland, you are playing a seemingly harmless game of Prop Hunt with Mark, Jack, and Nate. When you're cornered in your house less than a day later, you realize that you have to deal with some old problems...and some new ones.
