BB

> *"HEy y'all— Welcome to the new issue of my zine of strange occurances. I'm sorry that it's been a while. Please forgive me. I had to finish my exams. I've also been busy at work due to the events I shall relate."*

**BB** is the protagonist of the series. She is frequently subjected to bizarre occurrences in her hometown of XX City, and chronicles them in an independently-published "zine".

## Design

BB is a young woman with pink hair and yellow skin. She wears an orange blouse with black spots and a yellow hair bow. Due to the art style and her unusually squat proportions, she appears considerably younger than she is, a fact attributable to her origins as a character in an unreleased RPG Maker game. By improbable coincidence, her appearance is identical to that of the "My First Strangle Victim" doll line seen in Hands of the Killer.

In Drool of the Killer, she wears a blue one-piece swimsuit and light-blue swim cap.

In Flesh of the Killer, she wears a white toga and black sandals as part of a group disguise as the Virtues.

In Blood of the Killer, she wears a distinctive red coat.

in Ears of the Killer, she wears a green overcoat during her time at the convention and at the Beach District.

## Personality

BB seems rather jaded and casual in her interactions with the world around her, and seems to just want to make her own way. She seems quite desensitized to the nightmarish aspects of her hometown, casually dismissing news of thousands of corpses being found on the local beach and instead focusing on the radio. She is generally passive and prefers to stay out of people's way, but nevertheless is occasionally prone to strong bouts of anger, as first seen in Drool of the Killer when she beats up Tammy with a bottle of chlorine.

## Story

### Voice of the Killer

BB gets a job as a telemarketer for Life Contracts, calling potential customers with increasingly odd scripts. While trying to find the dialler room after a coffee break, she gets lost and inadvertently discovers the insurance company's plot to exploit the town's high murder rate for profit. After reading a series of seemingly-disconnected syllables in the second dialer room, she experiences a nightmare in which she eats seemingly-living flesh with the company executives before waking up in a cold sweat.

### Hands of the Killer

Having lost her job at Life Contracts, BB and her sister ZZ are selling nostalgic items online to make ends meet. While searching within the walls of her apartment building for merchandise to sell, she is captured by Dr. Zoo and the Murder College. During her escape, she witnesses the Killer murdering Dr. Zoo and barely escapes through the vents.

### Drool of the Killer

Intrigued by a bus marked TAMMY that has been making the rounds about town, BB rides it and is taken to a mysterious water park. Immediately upon entering it, she is nervous, but goes for a swim anyway. While inside the park, she begins to lose track of time and where she is, eventually making her way to the upper floors and breaking free of the park's mind-altering effects. She encounters Tammy, who chases her through the facility, eventually cornering her in a supply closet. BB, enraged by the realization that she has been swimming in an unsanitary pool, kills Tammy by soaking her with chlorine and is washed out of the park through a pipe, eventually returning home safely.

### Eyes of the Killer

BB is drafted into the Immersive Theater's production of *Melmo the Wanderer*, in which she is assigned the role of Potsy the Mop Girl. Frustrated by the play's incomprehensible plot, she wanders off to try to find out who kills her character. After narrowly avoiding several encounters with Prisonman and witnessing his abduction of the actor playing Count Masko, she stumbles into a trapdoor and discovers the police chopping up numerous corpses. She escapes and tries to report to Director Bosso, but discovers that she is a member of the Art Appreciators' Club, a second cult of the Killer. BB enters a dark stage where she watches a sacrifice ritual featuring the dance troupe, News Serf, Prisonman, and Mappy, ending with the murder of the actors playing Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon by what appears to be the Killer himself. BB is sent off by Bosso after the show, but is only paid a measly twenty dollars.

### Flesh of the Killer

BB, alongside three of her companions - Max, Claude, and Ray - break into the Museum of Moral Art for a community college group project, and to see whether the urban legends behind it are true. She wanders through the museum, noticing the strange phenomena and the disappearance of some of her friends. Eventually, they all encounter Lamassu and all but Claude are trapped within the paintings of the museum - BB manages to escape, and with Claude hurries to find the others. The four are trapped within the work "Garden II", where she manages to devise a plan to distract the monster using its obsessive pattern recognition while Ray stabs it from behind. Afterwards, they manage to locate a fire escape, and are assumed to have successively completed their project.

### Blood of the Killer

BB launches an investigation into the disappearance of her friend Clarice. During her time in River Town, she discovers Clarice transformed into a murderous cyborg and eventually tracks down (or rather stumbles upon) the parties responsible: the crazed conspiracy-theorist Concerned Citizen and his nurses, Mandy and Handy. Thanks to a coincidental intervention by the Killer, Clarice breaks free of Concerned Citizen's control and saves BB.

### Ears of the Killer

BB, having been sleep-deprived for 3 days due to someone on the floor above incessantly playing "Midnight Sex Party At Dracula's House" by Blue D. Hans at night, finally has had enough and goes to investigate. Unbeknownst to her, the song has a subliminal mind-control effect that quickly takes control of her, causing her to experience a bizarre hallucination in which the Killer turns into an amorphous monstrosity and force-feeds her a bird made of liquefied flesh. Some time later, BB discovers that she has built a successful music career under the influence of the mind control without even knowing. Determined to figure out why this is happening to her, she investigates several locales throughout XX City, eventually encountering Weepster, who attempts to kill her while performing his song "Weepster's Lament". However, the music triggers BB's mind-controlled state and she goes berserk, tearing Weepster apart with her bare hands.

BB awakens on the beach and reunites with ZZ, who had previously found a job with Positive Way. Upon discovering that ZZ is attempting to sell a vinyl copy of "Midnight Sex Party At Dracula's House", she accompanies ZZ to the Planetarium, where they are both ambushed and kidnapped by Blue D. Hans. The two find themselves on a stage on the beach, playing instruments alongside Blue, several corpse performers, and the Killer, as a massive wave of blood rises up, threatening to consume the city. As the band begins playing one of Blue's old singles, BB's mind control begins to kick in, but in a hallucination in which she travels inside her own body and crushes the flesh-bird with her shoe, she breaks free of the mind control. The New Wave collapses, and BB and ZZ narrowly outrun it.

## Trivia

* BB's name is short for Bebe.
* She is a fan of new wave, but doesn't entirely know what it means.
* According to garmentdistrict, BB is "older than Tintin". Considering Tintin is said to be between 14 and 19, it can be theorized that BB is likely in her early twenties.
