Hallowslice - The Life of a Demonic Possession Victim

[merry!]

Current Cast

Our two faceless narrators The Chronicler and the Anecdotist


Our protaganist Elroy


A Mysterious Stranger Zanith




So, recently I've seen a lot of pet journals, most of them have little or no plot (although, I realize they aren't really supposed to), but I have to admit are pretty cute and funny.
My brother, FireSword, and I have decided to try our hand(s? I don't know, maybe we're conjoined twins?) at something similar. This story will read sort of like a visual novel in thread form.
The art was done by me, and the writing was a joint effort (although I typed it all! Ha ha!).
And so without further ado, digression, or dilly dallying of any sort we present to you the first segment of this series! (We humbly appologize it's so short we really just wanted to get something up for you guys as soon as possible.)




???
The year is 1736 in Caralmelot, Chicken Smoothie.

???
The best year ever!

???
Actually, no, Anecdotist, this is a fairly boring year for everyone in Caramelot.

Anecdotist
You're forgetting our protagonist, Chronicler!

Chronicler
Yes except for our protagonist.

Anecdotist
Speaking of our protagonist here he comes now!

Chronicler
Elroy's visiting his mothers grave like he does every Saturday.

Anecdotist
Aw, poor baby.


Elroy
Hey, mom. I brought you these flowers. They're carnations, your favorite.

Anecdotist
I thought her favorite were camellias.

Chronicler
Shh, you're ruining the mood.

???
Oh, flowers? For me? How sweet.

Anecdotist
Woah, who's that?

Chronicler
Could it be our protagonist's dearly departed mother?

Anecdotist
Or perhaps something much more sinister?

Chronicler
Find out in the next revealing installment of-

Anecdotist
Hallowslice!

Chronicler
Hey, that was my line!

[merry!]

Chronicler
Hello once again, and welcome to another thrilling installment of...


Chronicler + Anecdotist
Hallowslice!


Anecdotist
When we last left of our protagonist was visiting his mothers grave when a mysterious stranger appeared, and took the flowers he planned to give to his mother...



Elroy
H-hey, those are for her! Give them back!



???
And who perchance is she?



Elroy
That's none of your business! A-anyway, I'm the one should be asking who you are, on account of you stealing my mom's flowers!



Zanith
The name's Zanith. Zanith, Destroyer of Souls.


Elroy
...That's....That's an... odd name.



Zanith
I know. It's uh... Greek?



Elroy
Oh, okay. My names's Elroy King. Could you give her the flowers back now?



Zanith
Sure thing. Here you are, ma'am.



Elroy
Thank you. I'm sure she appreciates it.



Zanith
No, thank you.


Chronicler
Well that was... Peculiar. But really, how can Elroy trust that guy? He seems sort of shady to me.


Anecdotist
Probably because of his sweet top hat.


Chronicler
Yeah, sure. Uh, anyway... Uh... Join us next time for the next segment of...


Chronicler + Anecdotist
Hallowslice!

Hey, Merry here! My brother and I decided to start accepting character submissions. We just have a few criteria.

• The year is 1736 so old fashioned-ish clothes are preferred. Yes the land of Chicken Smoothie is pretty nontraditional, and even was then, but try to keep the items relevant.
• Keep in mind I will be drawing these guys, so please, please, please don't submit your most complicated pet. I really cannot stress this enough.
• As for the names please just no super modern names.
• One entry per person, please!

If your character is not accepted please do not be upset. It either did not follow the suggested criteria, or I simply had no place for it in the story.
