Someone powerful wishes to recruit the protagonist for a job with a dark twist. The central plot involves a search for something, someone, or somewhere. Perhaps someone is even searching for themselves, with the outer journey mirrored internally.
We open this tale with Melanie Dowis visiting the protagonist, and she clearly wants help with something.
SUBTHREADS
No Place Like Home
A friend of the protagonist has found a new home, but there's something wrong with it. In this thread, someone goes beyond normally accepted behavior as the rest of the world looks on in horror.
Old and New
An old enemy joins forces with a new enemy against the protagonist. In this thread, a person is tempted by something that, if taken, would somehow diminish them, often morally. Their battle is thus internal, fighting against their inner voices which tell them to succumb.
