Rise Of The Immaterial Man Hunt
Camden Town was one of the most vibrant and eccentric areas that London had to offer and that was no more obvious than when we were driving down the main high street, stuck in traffic. The buildings were all brightly coloured and the shops that lined the street leading up to the main marketplace had all gone incredibly over the top with their sign designs. One building had a giant dragon on the front with blinking red eyes. Another featured a giant shoe, one had an aeroplane nosediving toward the ground and a third was bright yellow with a massive ceramic elephant’s head poking out of the front. It was also incredibly busy, especially considering today was a random weekday and still the early afternoon. Nevertheless, there were hundreds if not thousands of people hustling and bustling along both sides of the street, which meant that it was only going to be a matter of time until we witnessed a crime. That being said, we weren’t waiting for a crime to be committed on the street.
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Feed
If I had thought Sophia looked like a predator as she was moving through the narrow passageways of the Camden Market it was clear that I hadn’t actually seen anything yet. Sophia leapt up as silently as a light breeze and grabbed onto one of the walls. Her fingers bit through the brick the wall was made of and anchored her in place. Like a spider, she skittered up the wall so no one below would see her coming. Even with my enhanced Immateria senses I struggled to see her up in the shadows that were present in the alleyway. I could have joined her, I felt that I had the power in my fingers to do the same thing, but I didn’t want to make a mistake and ruin the hunt. I was content, at least for now, to let Sophia take the lead. A few moments passed and then a shadow dropped down from the rafters directly on top of . Only it wasn’t a shadow, it was Sophia. She was on the men like lightning and, before they could even react, she’d plunged her fingernails into each of their necks. T
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Aftermath
We walked back to the car without saying a word to one another. It was as if Sophia was giving me a little bit of space after what had happened, though how long that was going to continue I had no idea. In a way, I wasn’t sure if I wanted it to continue. All I could think about were the memories that I had absorbed from the man I had drunk dry and then thrown into the river. They were separate from my own memories, my new Immateria brain could pick apart which memories I had made myself and which ones I had absorbed from someone else, and they were already beginning to fade from my mind. I could feel that when they had faded completely was when I was going to need to feed again. “So what now?” I asked as I sat down in the driver's seat. With no job to rush back to and my newly acquired vampiric thirst sated I felt a bit like a leaf blowing in the wind. “Now we get you registered with the Immateria Council,” Sophia sighed, “Right now you’re basically illegal, so we need to sort
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Undercity
Sophia strode through the park with purpose and I struggled to keep up with her. When I had been human I hadn’t spent much if any time at the park, but walking through it now with the sun beginning its descent into the evening I found myself wishing that I had. It was a beautiful location, running alongside the River Thames itself, one of the rare few big green areas in the city of London. The location we were headed toward was the Old English Garden, a sort of park within a park. Where most of the park was wide open green spaces that were curated but mainly left to nature, the Old English Garden was a heavily looked-after space with a small podium at its centre. And everything about it felt… off. Clearly, the other people who were walking through the garden didn’t feel anything, it was likely only because I was an Immateria now, but I could intensely feel that something was strange about the podium and the sculpture on the top of it. “That’s the entranceway,” Sophia said, as i
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Waiting Room
The undercity was a marvel. I had been expecting a dingy and disgusting place, with leaking walls and rumbles from trains passing overhead, but I couldn’t have been further from the truth. Magic, it turned out, was just as magical in reality as it had been in all the storybooks. While my scientific mind was having trouble understanding everything my eyes were seeing, the little boy in the back of my head was whooping with unbridled joy. The ceilings were high and had been charmed in some way to display what was essentially a holographic display of the outdoor sky. Though unlike my technology there weren’t any telltale signs that what I was seeing was fake. I’d never managed to eliminate the slight shimmer that occurred whenever an image updated itself, kind of like scanlines on an old CRT, there was nothing like that present in the illusory sky. Alongside that were all the different types of people that I was seeing. It was hard not to want to run away screaming the first time
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Council
Sophia and I waited for what felt like hours, in reality, it probably couldn’t have been anything more than thirty minutes. In the short time that I’d known her, I’d never seen Sophia flustered or worried. She’d always been the peak of British femininity and grace, holding herself resolutely in the face of any potential problem. The way she was pacing back and forth now, her heels clacking against the flagstone floor of the room, betrayed how nervous she was really feeling. “It’s going to be okay, Sophia,” I said, “I’m sure you’ll be able to convince them of the worth of my creation.” Her head snapped toward me so fast that if she had been human her neck probably would have severed and allowed the skull on top to bounce away to a corner of the room. “It’s not just your life on the line,” She all but snarled, “If they find that I’ve broken the rules it’ll be my head on the block just as much as yours, understand?” I was cowed into silence by the outburst by that primal connection
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Success
Sophia shot me an ugly glare as I stepped forward to speak, but she didn’t order me back in line so I felt free to continue in my course of action. “While you may be safe hiding down here now, I know through first-hand experience how easily all of that could come tumbling down,” I said, “And while the Immateria are the strongest thing in the world right now that may not always be the case.” “Preposterous!” The Immateria at the centre of the table said, “Not even their nuclear bombs could threaten us, in centuries or millennia in the future that won’t change!” I crossed my hands behind my back and shook my head, I needed to play this just like I was trying to explain technology to some tech inept businessman back in London… because that was basically my entire plan. “What do you know of technology, sir?” I asked the man, “I imagine in this world of magic that you have crafted for yourselves the mere notion of mundane human technology is something that barely even crosses your mind,
Rise Of The Immaterial Man Plan
“That was a foolish and dangerous move you made in there,” Sophia said as she walked out of the council building and back onto the flagstone street of the undercity. I rolled my eyes and stuffed my hands in my pockets. “It worked though, didn’t it?” I asked rhetorically, “We’ve got free rein to do what we want now, the council are going to be off our backs, and neither of us is dead.” “It worked by the skin of your fangs,” She said with a short sigh, “If I’d known you were going to be this reckless I would have left you to bleed out on the steps of that club.” I grinned at her, she was talking a big talk but there wasn’t any heat behind her words. It seemed like she was more relieved than anything else. “Yeah right, I bet you’ve loved having me around so far,” I said cheekily, “So, come on, what’s the plan now? We’ve dealt with the immediate crisis, we’ve fed on some humans so the thirst is gone, what are we doing next?” Sophia was silent for a moment as she considered my questi
