An already weakened whumpee thrown into an even whumpier situation
-Whumpee’s had more than a few too many drinks. The lights in the club feel so bright they’re giving whumpee a migraine and the music is distorting and thumping at the base of their skull. Whumpee is barely able to walk straight as it is. What happens when whumper slips something into their drink?
-Whumpee is exhausted, it’s been a long day at work and they haven’t been sleeping well. They drop their keys twice trying to unlock their door before they finally get in and see Whumper in the living room quietly. They figure they must be seeing things and head on to bed.
-Whumpee is sick with a cold/fever. They feel weak, can’t stop shivering and they feel like passing out every time they sit down. They’re driving home from the grocery store when a car t-bones them. The crash didn’t knock them out, but they don’t have the strength to even try to run away when they see Whumper get out of the truck and walk towards them.
-Whumpee was stabbed/shot and is now on the mend. They aren’t in any immediate danger and they’re an adult so they sign themselves out of the hospital and start to walk the few blocks back across the city to their apartment. It would sure be inconvenient for them to get jumped and mugged, wouldn’t it? Might even tear a few stitches.
-A bounty has been placed over Whumpee’s head. They’ve just narrowly escaped death for the first time that day and are limping back through the countryside, trying to find where they are. They’re walking across a bridge over a fast, deep river when they see a group of unfriendly looking people. They try to run the other way, but to no avail. They throw Whumpee in a burlap sack and tie it shut before they push Whumpee off the bridge.
Having the unique job that he does, Alabastar attracts some strange people to his work. I title this piece ‘A Summary of Alabastar’s Pursuers’, as a sort of visualisation of their aim to stop him or question him. Below the line is an explanation from left to right of each of these characters - Strata45, Roman Morosen, and Bailey :)
Strata45is an agent of ExpireAegis and she oversees Alabastar’s work sending him messages and reminders about things in a very pestering manner. She’s very evil-natured and has the ability to take over Alabastar’s mind for a short while if he goes to do something to impact his job (E.G. trying to die or telling the authorities about the ExpireAegis agency.)
Roman Morosenhas been hired to track down Alabastar, because he’s a supernatural interference with death, and a wanted murderer according to the authorities. The only way Roman can figure out how to track him down is to sign up to Alabastar’s death app to lure him in. Of course, Roman can’t die, he revives the next day, so dying my Alabastar is of no risk to him. These two have a constant rivalry, where they’re both trying to do their job but can’t complete it because of an endless cycle. (His reference is also here)
Baileyis a radio show host who interviews people who have died and are currently in the afterlife. He notices people calling in about being killed by this 'Enigma’ guy and he becomes interested in this mysterious being. He makes it his goal to search out Alabastar and interview him. He stalks his every move and pesters him for information. Usually, Alabastar is fine with talking to anyone and being their friend, but he’s been told by the agency to avoid Bailey at all costs. He likes dressing as a bee and his radio station is called 'Beefore the News’ cause it always plays before the news.

If you are unsure of Alabastar’s story you can read it here. This is of course all part of my story 'When Mourning Comes’ (readable here)
