Issue 1 Downtime

A blue-skinned mutant hopped the fence into the park. He was running from something, as evidenced by the look of pure terror on his face.

off to the side, an uninterested woman smeared with garbage and other smelly things was picking enthusiastically in a garbage can.

Predictably, the man ran by a little too close and bumped her.

He would be gashed by what appeared to be a filthy, rusted saw blade dangling from her attempt at working clothing.

"LoveLY, PRettY. PainfuLL..." she chirped, lifting up from the trashcan with a decapitated rat in her mouth.

She chewed thoughtfully.

He spun around to see what had cut him. "Please! You have to help me!" he pleaded desperately, even if anyone helping anyone was a rare thing.

"TasTY, FancY, LoveLY.." she continued, taking a bite out of the bloddy rat and advancing on the new plaything, licking her lips.

He looked nervously behind her and bolted. However, just as quickly, a barbed spear flew overhead and skewered the man by the shoulder and the retracted barbs opened to lock itself in. The chain it was attached to snapped taut and yanked the man clear off his feet.

The woman looked disappointed, watching her toy be dragged away.

"Fly away, BirDIE FLy.."

"Kill me! Please!" he cried out as he was dragged past.

At the other was a black-clad reptilian beast of a man, with blood dripping from his claws.

"Bie BY, BiRdiE!!"

She waved enthusiastically goodbye, before absently throwing and impacting a rusty screwdriver into his kneecap.

The man screamed, now in even more agony. Apophis forced him to stand, bound him with the chain, and put a black bag over his head before hauling the man over his shoulder.

"You should know better than to try to escape me," he sneered.

"And you, clown, never harm my merchandise again... not if you value your life."

But she was back in in garbage can, a swarm of cockroaches having piqued her interest.

Mister Dragon just couldn't compare.

With a deft grab, she grabbed the biggest, meatiest one and gave it a big lick with her tongue.

"FancY, YuMMy, SWeeT.."
