Lucille and her cultists, Toshiba, Maryanne, David, and Sylvia are hanging out at some beach in Mississippi by a hotel they're staying in. Maryanne wades in the water, as Toshiba watches her closely, sitting on the sand. Lucille's bathing in the sun and texting her group chat, David and Sylvia staying closeby to her. And then it begins to rain.
Lucille looks up from her phone, up at the sky. "Didn't expect it to rain today, huh."
"Hm, yeah that's... strange." Sylvia looks up at the sky. Something begins to happen to a certain area of the air over the ocean.. it starts to become empty. A hole in the sky. A tear in reality, gaping open.
Lucille gets up from her chair, shoving her phone down in her pocket. She yells out to her cultists, "VAN, NOW." The fuckers get off the beach and pile into the van like it's a fucking clown car and they book it back to the Church that Lucille took over. Once they arrive, they see more holes in the sky, continuing to open. "Get inside," Lucille says to the others as they do as she says. She climbs on top of the van and stares at one of the holes. Deep within her mind, she feels like she remembers something. Something... involving demons... or whatever. God, she doesn't have time for the silly edgy demon bullshit right now. She needs to focus.
Lucille stares at the holes, lifting herself up more with tentacles that protrude from her back. They're black, inky, and have bones sticking out from them. Like an edgy tumblr slendersona. Her skin crackles with blue distortion as she stares up at one of the holes, and, like an idiot, focuses on trying to close it with her mind. Oh my fucking god, Lucille. She begins to bleed from most of her facial orifices as the hole, one of maybe like twenty in the visible sky, slowly closes. Lucille finally manages to close it, as she falls to the ground weakly before passing out.
Toshiba runs out the door, "OH MY FUCKING. JHVJBEKDVCJBH!!?!?!?" Toshiba runs up to Lucille, trying to pick up her slightly heavy body. Toshiba's like, 5'1, a twig, and wearing a box television on her head. Trying to carry a 5'6 chubby lady. I mean, sure, go ahead. She does actually manage to her her inside but soon falls down the stairs, cracking pieces of her TV.
Toshiba, sobbing, takes out her phone and begins texting the group chat. A 5'10 man with ginger hair, glasses, and a Three Days Grace t-shirt appears before Toshiba.
"Hello there," Photo says to Toshiba, "I'm here to fuck up Lucille's good time."
"She's not having a good time she's probably dead," Toshiba sobs.
"Someone did my job for me, damn. That's not good." Photo frowns, "What the hell is happening?"
"Sky opened up, Lucille closed the hole, something happened, I don't know!!"
"What a hero."
"It's all so confusing and everythings happening so fast," Toshiba sobs.
"Sounds like an apocalypse I'd want front row seats to," Photo smiles.
Toshiba gets a message on her phone, and she removes her TV. The message is followed by a knock on the door of the church. Toshiba heads up to the door, and looks through the small window. There's something outside. A tall, dark, goat-like figure with a human girl's face. Toshiba walks back down the stares with a D: face, and looks to Photo.
"You've never been scared until you've seen a 6ft tall black goat on its hind legs staring at you with its slightly human face," she says.
"Oh that's awesome I gotta see that," Photo responds, looking in the direction of the door. "Need me to talk to it?"
"If you want.??"
Photo teleports outside, connecting to a call with Toshiba.
"Oh wow everything here's all fucked up," Photo says, looking around. The sky's become a sanguine red, and it's pouring rain. "Like a sunset, but everywhere." Photo looks up to the sky, "There's no hole."
"Yeah, Lucille closed it before passing out,,"
"Sounds like she pulled an iron man."
"I've only been alive for 2 years half of which I spent in hell," Toshiba sighs, "What does it mean to 'pull an iron man'?"
"She closed a hole in the sky and then became unconscious"
"Oh ok"
"I'm stopping the rain around me this is annoying"
"Ok so, what do we do about Ava?" Toshiba asks.
"Is her name Ava?"
"That's what the name on the Instagram message said, yeah."
The Photographer approaches Ava, flaring tentacles from his back and making his eyes shine a bright white. Ava becomes sightly frightened and flees into the woods, followed by a crackle of black distortion. Photo chuckles to himself and walks inside the church. There's a trail of Lucille's blood on the stairs.
"Where are you now?" Photo asks Toshiba.
"Basement, with the statue of Lucille," she replies, seeming out of breath.
"Oh I've been there, bet she'd love to see me there again."
"Oh?"
The Photographer appears next to Toshiba in the Worship Room of the basement. "Yeah I fought her here. Kicked her ass."
