The Army of Gluttony - Aftermath

[phantommods]

The Compound

As the team leaves the Metaverse, they are near enough to the compound to hear loud screaming as it erupts into chaos, with children and adults running around.

Those that stick around will hear the sirens of Fire Engines within minutes, followed soon after by Ambulances, and then after that by police. Those with access to James will see a truly gruesome sight - his eyes have gone completely white and black fluid is streaming out of his eyes and mouth. His body is stiff, his hands like claws as they clutch his throat. He is lying on the ground in a puddle of black fluid, neither moving nor breathing.

As the paramedics arrive on the scene they move to give aid with strict professionalism, but they can be seen making phone calls. When the police arrive, both Tamara and Bartholomew, as well as the other adult workers, are being led away in handcuffs, with social services descending upon the compound to liberate the children, including any Phantom Thieves who are willing to linger.

The Safehouse

For those returning to the safehouse, Shinji is grim when he hears the news. He orders in some pizza and puts some tea on before getting out of the way and letting the Thieves debrief in the living room.

"Killed..." He repeats softly, all the color draining from his face, a dozen questions bubbled up but he squashes it, realizing Locke was not in any shape to really to answer them.

Sinbad goes to get a cup of Tea for the an. "Here," he stated, almost putting Locke's hands around the cup.

"Thanks."

Locke sits back.

"There's another group out there. They don't want to reform people, they want to eliminate them."

His expression darkens at that, leaning against the counter. "So there's someone running around - who can murder people without warning." Sinbad murmurs.

"Now we're going to have to divide our scope, between finding our targets and keeping this group from murdering them."
