**The Neverglades: Multiverse Chronicles** is a spin-off collection from David Farrow and featured guest authors, focusing on alternate universe reimaginings of the Neverglades series.

## Official Synopsis

Pacific Glade (also known as “the Neverglades”) is a town full of stories. In David Farrow’s *Neverglades* trilogy, you followed one of these stories: a tale of homicide detectives, eldritch investigators, cosmic monstrosities, and rifts in the fabric of reality. But this is one tale among many, one timeline among trillions. Don’t you want to know what other stories are out there?

In this collection, eight talented authors take you on a journey through the Neverglades multiverse, exploring over a dozen new variations of the stories you know. From superheroes to gunslingers, from space goddesses to shapeshifting politicians, from Hollywood backdrops to apocalyptic wastelands, these stories will show you sides of the Neverglades you’ve never experienced before – and never could have imagined.

The Weird Brothers

**Shaun Sanford** and **Tom Johnson** (collectively known as the **Weird Brothers**) are a former team of bloggers famous for their paranormal investigations. They got their start after accidentally disturbing an ancient entity known as Mirror Face while filming a documentary project in college. With the help of Josephine Young, Mirror Face was presumed dead, and the duo decided to travel the country investigating other cases of the supernatural.

One of their prominent cases involved looking into the strange phenomena occurring at the Storm's End Tavern in New Orleans. Their blog attracted a large number of online fans, including Stephen Hannigan. Although they went into retirement after an incident which cost Tom his right hand, the Weird Brothers reunited for one last investigation of the Cerulean Shores Hotel, where six tourists were reported missing. They were held captive by the Backwards Woman in a strange series of pocket universes, but were ultimately able to escape thanks to the help of Olivia Marconi and Ruth Hannigan.

Later, the Weird Brothers become the target of a newly recovered Mirror Face, who wants to silence everyone that watched their documentary. It recruits the help of an entity named Nephilos who can infiltrate cyberspace and dig up clues about all the loose ends. The Brothers are alerted to the hunt and go on the run, trying to stay off the grid as much as possible, but Mirror Face executes a program to turn Nephilos into a virus that possesses its readers and makes them into sleeper agents to hunt down Shaun and Tom. Their fate afterwards is unknown.

They appear in "Seven Photographs from the Storm's End Tavern" and "Checking Out," and are major recurring characters in the "gallows hill" series.

The Caldera Paradox

*"It’s in the sky too. The clouds are black. Like storm clouds, but they’re not big and swollen. Just a flat black surface with streaks of gray. I can’t see a single person out there. Chicago is gone. Oh God, there’s no one left."*

"**Dudleytown**" (stylized as "**dudleytown**") is the fourth chapter in the gallows hill series.

Staci Gamble had heard the legends of the abandoned Dudleytown curse, but she never believed them until the curse followed her home. Now she has to find a way to free herself from its influence, before the dark forces that haunt the forest come after her too…

Mickey Madeiros

**Mickey Madeiros** was a resident of Brooklyn, New York who found a copy of *Murder at the Blue Eclipse* at a yard sale. Together with his friends, Barrett Brodsky and Jaelyn Grady, he staged a viewing party for the film. Their version of the film featured a gory scene in which the ticket collector (Stan) brutally stabs the detective Damon Knight and the rest of the patrons in the theater lobby. Mickey seemed to be hypnotized by the movie, and on subsequent viewings it burned out his eyes and left him to die.

He appears in “Murder at the Blue Eclipse.”
Libby Lombardi

**Libby Lombardi** is the sheriff of the police department in Atlantic Dale, Florida and a counterpart to Olivia Marconi from the Neverglades series. Together with her colleague Mike Hannity and the bumbling Detective Stephen Smith, she joins the investigation into the mysterious deaths around the Everglades. She is able to put down the crazed local Smith calls "Florida Man" after he kills the methed-up alligator they were chasing.

Libby later hosts a Christmas party at the Swinging Boulder, her favorite lesbian bar, along with her wife (Jamie Guterman). The party is interrupted by Sammy Vance disguised as Krampus, but Libby is apparently too drunk to notice or care.

She appears in "The Everglades Mysteries" and "An Everglades Christmas."
Nephilos

**Nephilos** is an ancient being who was summoned by "witches" during colonial times to grant them powers and curse their enemies. He delighted in violence and torturing his victims. Josephine Young made a pact with him to gain immortality, and later sealed him away to use him as a source of power in the future. In the present day, he is forced to attack Mirror Face under the orders of Josephine, although he only maims and does not kill it.

Nephilos is later stolen from Josephine and placed in a data prison by a newly recovered Mirror Face, where he is tasked to track down information on the Weird Brothers and the Hartford witch trials. The process erases his memory and he forgets his original bloodlust, instead trying to save the people Mirror Face has marked for death. He is horrified when he learns the truth, but is unable to prevent himself from claiming Josephine's soul after Mirror Face kills her. He ends up siding with Mirror Face to track down the Weird Brothers and earn his freedom again.

He has no body in the dataspace, but manifests in the real world as a tall figure in a low hat and a black leather coat. Mirror Face calls him a "possessor" because he can infiltrate living and nonliving things to exert his influence. He ends up being turned into a virus to infect Mirror Face's readers and make them into sleeper agents to hunt down Shaun and Tom.

He appears in the "gallows hill" series.

Mount Palmer Psychiatric Institute

The **Mount Palmer Psychiatric Institute** is a branch of mental hospitals that originated in Pacific Glade in the 1930s. When they were brought under fire for questionable medical practices, the asylum packed up and migrated further east, eventually resulting in a chain of hospitals across the nation. In the modern day it is a reputable organization, although Rosen Corp often draws patients from its hospitals for their human augmentation trials.

## Overview

### On the Mountain of Madness

* Mark Hannigan encounters the ruins of the original Mount Palmer Insane Asylum while pursuing Lester Barlow. After a car crash, Mark is transported to the asylum when it was fully functional in the 1930s. He manages to escape with the help of Deacon, but not before losing his mind and hallucinating old enemies from his past. However, it is unclear whether Mark was actually transported back in time or if the events in the asylum were all in his head.

### Mary Ellen's Eyes

* The serial killer going by Mary Ellen Irving is speculated to have escaped from a western branch of the Institute, although her whereabouts after the summer of 1992 were never confirmed.

### The Staircase in the Library

* A drug addict and mental patient named Dylan McAllister was abducted from the Mount Palmer branch in Minnesota by agents of Rosen Corp. His disappearance was never reported by any major local papers, and even though he was rescued by Julianna Park, correspondence within the agency reveals that he was later found and returned to his augmentation trials.

### Fleshy Sensoria

* Tom Ingram unearths information about Mount Palmer in the Rosen Corp database, confirming that Rosen Corp has the mental institute in their pocket. Because their trials are immensely dangerous and many participants don't come back alive, they prefer to use test subjects who won't be missed if something goes wrong.
Meredith Lake

**Meredith Lake** was a popular high school student from Dalton Springs, Nevada who was killed by Lacey Benedict. Known for her hair-trigger temper and shrewd persuasive nature, Meredith is the de facto clique leader of the popular girls, including Julia Maxwell. When the group sneaks out to Glendale House to get high, Meredith thinks she sees Lacey wearing her grandmother's expensive necklace and tries to violently attack the girl for stealing it. Lacey fights back and throws Meredith against the mantle, where she bashes her head and suffers a fatal injury.

She appears in "Skin Deep."
Norman Clancy

Illustration by Chris Bodily

**Norman Clancy** is an FBI agent in the Special Cases division. He comes to Pacific Glade to eliminate the Inspector, whom he views as a national threat.

## Overview

### Pre-Neverglades Series

* Clancy encounters the Inspector while investigating a string of child disappearances at a theme park called Summerland. After witnessing a child die at the Inspector's hands (and not knowing the child was possessed), Clancy makes it his goal to bring the Inspector to justice. He is recruited by Wendell Collins and the Special Cases division of the FBI to track down the Inspector and take him into custody. However, Clancy becomes convinced that the only way to save the world is for the Inspector to die. He moves to Pacific Glade and goes undercover to track the Inspector's movements, and ultimately follows him to St. Florence Hospital when the entity reappears after a year of being away.

### Red Eye

* Clancy tracks a supernatural presence in the hospital, believing it to be the Inspector, but finds the Ender instead. He kills the entity to prevent it from attacking Paul Ingram and Clara Bellevance.

### Man of the Law

* In an effort to locate the Inspector, Clancy takes Paul hostage and demands that the nurse lead him to the Inspector's room. Paul instead leads him to the North Wing, where Lola Velasquez and Georgina Prewitt are guarding the at-risk patients. They engage in a standoff until the Pacific Glade police force (and Ruth Hannigan) arrive. Clancy considers calling in a backup squad, but falters when the Ferryman appears and reveals that the Inspector and Olivia Marconi are dying. Clancy decides to lay low while the rest of the group makes plans to rescue their friends, reasoning that he'll get his chance to kill the Inspector eventually.

### On the Fringe of What We Know

* Clancy, guarded by Detective Prewitt, stays behind while Abigail Shannon and the rescue team enter the multiverse to find their friends' missing pieces.

### Brother's Keeper

* In the chaos following the monster infestation at St. Florence, Clancy is able to knock out Prewitt and attack Paul Ingram, hoping that he can kill the Inspector and end the madness. However, Prewitt comes to and shoots Clancy in the arm, eventually knocking him unconscious so he can't cause any more harm.

### Journey's End

* Months after the Inspector and Marconi's return, Clancy meets the group at the Hanging Rock, making tensions high. He says that the FBI is still cleaning up messes after reality stabilized itself, and that even though he's giving the Inspector a second chance, he'll be keeping an eye on Pacific Glade and won't hesitate to take the Inspector out if he becomes a real threat.

## Notes

* Clancy previously appeared in a collaborative story about alien abductions in Disneyland, posted on r/NoSleep in 2018. In it, he manipulated the Inspector into entering the lair of an extradimensional presence, which he hoped would kill the Inspector. However, the events of this story are noncanonical.
The Wendigo (Story)

*"These creatures, they swallow happiness. Fear. Depression. Hope. Each has a particular taste, and it feeds slowly, keeping its victims in stasis until it can suck them dry."*

The fourth story in the Neverglades series.

Sheriff Marconi has gone missing, and her girlfriend Janine believes that an entity called a wendigo may be responsible. She joins Hannigan and the Inspector as they head into the woods to investigate. As the trail grows warmer, however, it appears that a far different being may be behind Marconi's disappearance, and the Inspector is forced to confront an old enemy from his past.

## Characters

* Mark Hannigan
* The Inspector
* Olivia Marconi
* Janine Zimmerman
* Nico Sanchez
* Abigail Shannon
* The Wendigo

## Settings

* Pacific Glade Police Station
* Catamount Forest
* Pocket Universes

## Notes

* The capsule that the Inspector finds near the rift alludes to the involvement of CAPRA in letting the wendigo into Pacific Glade.
* Another empathic giant, scientifically modified by Rosen Corp, appears in the pocket universe in "Room 325."
Ghost Highway

*“Whatever you choose, Olivia, I’ll walk with you.”*

The tenth and final story in the Neverglades Series: Volume Two.

Marconi keeps having dreams about a friend she thought she’d lost forever. Driven by a desire to save them, she and the Inspector venture into the world beyond the doors one last time – but neither is prepared for what awaits them along that ghostly highway.

* Olivia Marconi
* The Inspector
* Ruth Hannigan
* Zachary Atwater
* Mark Hannigan
* The Ferryman

## Settings

* Marconi's House
* CAPRA Headquarters
* The Netherwastes
* The Ghost Highway

## Notes

* An echo of Mark Hannigan still exists along the Ghost Highway, as hinted by the Semblance in “A Neverglades Halloween.” The emissary who drives him away ends up taking him to the Golden City, as seen in "Final Rest."
* The echoes that populate the Netherwastes behave similarly to the dead memories that Morganna Lewis and Marshall Kane encounter in the patchwork world in “The Cemetery on Ashwood Lane.”
Student Body

"*Sometimes you need to endure a little heartbreak to remember the things that matter.*"

The ninth story in the Cruelest Months series.

Laurie Miller is concerned when her son comes home from school with some frightening drawings of his teacher. But when she goes to confront Mr. Holloway on conference night, an unexpected new horror awaits her.

## Characters

Timothy Lancaster

Illustration by Chris Bodily

**Timothy Lancaster** was a lead scientist at CAPRA with ties to Rosen Corp, as well as a former lover of Valentina Koeppel. He was killed by the Semblance masquerading as Zachary Atwater.

*To find Timothy Lancaster from the Nightmare World timeline, look here.*

## The Neverglades Series

### Black Valentine

* After the death of Valentina Koeppel, Lancaster became obsessed with bringing his lover back from the world beyond the rift. CAPRA's prodding at the fabric of reality accidentally revealed a door to the world where the Semblance was being kept prisoner. Lancaster freed the Semblance in exchange for it opening a door to the Netherwastes, where he was able to locate Valentina's echo. However, she came back as an incorporeal being driven by rage who could summon dark fire from her hands. Lancaster holds Olivia Marconi hostage and asks that she convince the Inspector to extract Valentina's essence from within the Ender, thus recompleting her and putting an end to her rampage. The Inspector does what he asks, but Lancaster and Valentina are fatally shot by the Semblance just after her soul reoccupies her body.

## Other Appearances

### Rising Heat

* Lancaster is the doctor treating Ramona King for her severe hot flashes, although it becomes clear that his treatments are actually making her situation worse and giving her pyrokinetic abilities. Lancaster's motivations are unclear, but he seems to have been conducting more human augmentation studies for Rosen Corp.
In Silence

Skin Deep

*"Birthmarks are like stains, except no amount of scrubbing can wash them from your skin. That’s always been my philosophy."*

* Meredith Lake
* Jason McTeague
* Lacey Benedict
* Don Remington

## Settings

* Dalton Springs, Nevada
* Glendale House

## Notes

The Chronicler

**The Chronicler** is an omniscient and near-omnipotent being (similar to the Creator of All Things) who occupies a pocket dimension that looks like a library study. Like the Inspector, they are fascinated with humans and their stories, but unlike the Inspector, they actively meddle in human affairs. Their reality warping abilities allow them to “rewrite” events as they choose in an attempt to create the perfect story.

## Overview

### Murder Mystery

* The Chronicler becomes fond of Mark and Ruth Hannigan and tries to write them a happy ending, but is alarmed to discover that any attempt to save them results in one of them dying anyway. They ultimately decide to stop trying when Ruth confronts them in their library, but give Ruth some peace by erasing her memories and allowing her to spend one last night with Mark, not knowing his fate.

### Silver Screen

* The Chronicler is revealed to have rewritten events to bolster Steve Hannigan’s filmmaking career, in order for his stories to reach more people. Steve is grateful, but afraid that without a push from the Chronicler, he’ll never be able to recapture the magic of his early career. The Chronicler assures him that the initial push was all he needed – he’s never stopped moving since then.

### Can You Hear Me?

* The Chronicler creates a beta universe that reenacts the events of The Neverglades: Volume One, but gives Mark Hannigan agency to see if he can defy his fate. Mark becomes aware of his existence as a character in a story, but is unable to break the fourth wall and escape from the narrative.

### Blood Moon

* The Chronicler takes pity on Meta Mark and offers to save him, in exchange for carrying out an important task: collecting a team of the strongest entities he can find across the multiverse to stop the Sightless before he can destroy all life in all dimensions. They had recognized the dark entity’s destructive nature before and tried to cripple it by removing its eyes, but this only heightened its rage and thirst for revenge. After the battle, the Chronicler lets Meta Mark use the books in their library to explore the multiverse, granting him freedom at last.

## Powers and Limitations

* They can rewrite reality and change how events occur, but they cannot change the fundamental nature or personality of the characters involved.
* They exist in every universe simultaneously and are capable of perceiving all realities in the multiverse at once. They can also project their voice to the people who live in those realities.
* They can understand the thoughts and feelings of everyone in the multiverse, but lack the ability to empathize on a human level.
* They can summon people to their library and return them home, but require external tools (like the Sightless’s eyes or the Creator’s books) to transport people across dimensions.
* They cannot erase matter from existence, as it will always rematerialize in the library when removed from its reality.
* They cannot perceive the Dark, the realm outside the multiverse where the Other resides.
Swing By Your Neck

"**Swing By Your Neck**" (stylized as "**swing by your neck**") is the third chapter in the gallows hill series.

The twelfth story in *The Neverglades: Multiverse Chronicles*, written by guest author Clarice Anfield.

Rory Hannigan, now a grown man, does his best to follow in his father’s footsteps and serve Pacific Glade as a detective in his own right. But when Mark’s memorial lunch devolves into a sudden crisis, Rory finds himself facing a case that might be impossible to solve…

## Characters

* Rory Hannigan (Detective)
* Ruth Hannigan
* Olivia Marconi
* Stephen Hannigan
* Mark and Maddie Hannigan
* The Inspector
* The Other

## Settings

* Pacific Glade Police Department
* The Hannigan Home

## Notes

* This universe’s main point of divergence was Mark Hannigan dying in the battle against the Plexus while his son Rory remained alive, which inspired Rory to pursue a career as a detective.
* In “Blood Moon,” the entity responsible for the sinister nostalgia trap turns out to be the Other, an eldritch version of Mark Hannigan trying to create “happy endings” for his counterparts and their loved ones.
All Things End

“*I died last week, but somehow I was still up and walking. And I wasn’t the only one*.”

--

The sixth story in *The Neverglades: Multiverse Chronicles*.

Mark Hannigan survives a fatal incident on the job, only to discover a shocking fact: no one in Pacific Glade is capable of dying. But when their bodies start to decay while still alive, Mark joins forces with the Inspector to find the only entity who may be capable of ending this plague of immortality…

## Characters

* Mark Hannigan (Undead)
* Olivia Marconi
* The Inspector
* Ruth Hannigan
* Stephen Hannigan
* Rory Hannigan
* The Ender
* The Enderling

## Settings

* Pacific Glade
* Spokane Falls
* The Rift

## Notes

* This universe’s main point of divergence was the Ender choosing to give up its assigned duty of consuming the souls of the dead. It is revealed that there must always be an entity in Pacific Glade to claim human souls after death, which results in the birth of the Enderling to take its father’s place.
* The Ender is later recruited by the Chronicler to take on the Sightless in “Blood Moon.”
Janine Zimmerman

Illustration by Chris Bodily

**Janine Zimmerman** was a resident of Pacific Glade and the wife of Sheriff Olivia Marconi. She has a counterpart in the Everglades named Jamie Guterman.

## Overview

### The Wendigo

* When Marconi goes missing, Janine believes her girlfriend has been taken by the wendigo, a monstrous entity she learned about from her uncle. She arms herself and heads into the woods to rescue Marconi. There, she meets Mark Hannigan and the Inspector. Janine uncovers the giant's first pocket universe and lights a series of flares to serve as guideposts for their journey back out. She is able to wake the dormant Marconi and help her girlfriend take out the empathic giant.

### Purple Moon

* Behind the rift, Janine's life energy manifests as a glowing, dripping orb of purple light, just like the other residents of Pacific Glade.

### Devour

* Janine takes a fall during the Pacific Glade quake and sprains her wrist, but is otherwise unharmed.

### Fallen Night

* Sometime after the quake, Janine and Marconi are married. They open their home to Ruth and Stephen Hannigan in the aftermath of Mark's death and the collapse of the Hannigan home. Eventually, the Inspector also finds a place at their table.

### Temple of the Moon

* Janine flies out with the rest of the family to see Stephen off on his first day of college. She works with Marconi to investigate Lloyd Harper and ultimately stops her wife from falling victim to the Data Entity's hypnosis. Despite being taken captive, she and Marconi are able to get free and kill the Data Entity, and she helps Ruth and Stephen rescue the hypnotized students before Richard Temple can use them as leverage.

### Body Count

* Janine is catching a ride home from work in Marconi's cruiser when Marconi is called to Catamount Forest to deal with a rowdy Larry Hogan. She is involved in the car crash that kills Laura Belmont and injures Larry. Although she tries to nurse Larry back to health, he dies due to being poisoned by John Whedon. Marconi believes that Janine is possessed by the brain jacker and is responsible for Larry's death, but Whedon reveals that there is no brain jacker. He shoots Janine before being killed by Marconi, and Janine is taken to the hospital, where she dies of her injuries.

### Fear No Evil

* The Semblance takes on Janine's form to manipulate Marconi and lead her into a trap, using a phrase that Marconi has only ever shared with her wife. Even though the Semblance is defeated and sealed away, Marconi wonders where it heard that phrase and believes that it may have been telling the truth about Janine coming to the Ghost Highway after her death.

### Final Rest

* When Marconi's mind is fractured across dimensions, one piece of her ends up in a golden city where she meets Janine again. Marconi reveals that she had turned back on the ghost highway with the intent to let Janine rest, and Janine says that she made the right choice, because she was never on that road. She takes Marconi to see Rory Hannigan and Mark's echo, and says that even though Marconi has to leave for now, she'll find her way back to the city one day.
Sebastian Vael

Sebastian Vael (*セバスチャン・ヴェール, Sebasuchan vu~ēru*) is a well known S-class mage from the guild Mountain's Oath. A powerful wind mage, he was one of the mages selected to enter the Forest of Death in an attempt to find the people who had gone missing in it.

## Powers & Abilities

### Magical Prowess

Wind Magic:

**Spells**

* Urknall Angriff: By coalescing a large amount of compressed air in his hands, Sebastian is capable of creating a wind blast of extreme power, the force of which was enough to dissipate the powerful energy cannon that the Forest of Death had used to kill multiple other S-Class Mages. Though said cannon did still manage to severely injure the Mountain Oath Mage.

Final Rest

“*It feels like I’m stuck between two places these days*.”

The sixth story in the Neverglades Series: Volume Three.

Olivia Marconi is trapped between two worlds: a snowy wasteland that reminds her of a life she lived, and a golden city that reminds her of a love she’s lost. As she struggles to piece herself together, she revisits memories from her past and comes to terms with a life-altering decision.

## Characters

* Janine Zimmerman
* Elisa Monteiro
* Abigail Shannon
* Lola Velasquez
* Mark Hannigan
* Rory Hannigan
* The Ferryman

## Settings

* North Berwick, Vermont (Pocket Universe)
* The Golden City

## Notes

* The snowy pocket universe resembles North Berwick, Vermont, where Marconi used to work as a cop in her early years on the force. It is also the setting for “The Cemetery on Ashwood Lane.”
* The Golden City is heavily implied to be some kind of Heaven or afterlife. Janine and Rory are residents of the city, as well as the echo of Mark Hannigan, who was taken by an “emissary of the afterworld” in “Ghost Highway.”
* This is the first Neverglades story since “Ghost Highway” to be narrated by Olivia Marconi.

Elias Shade

**Elias Shade** is a stage magician, famous for his “buried alive” demonstration and his baffling act of teleportation, where he traveled instantly from San Francisco to East Boston. The source of his remarkable magic actually came from a deal he struck with an otherworldly entity known as the Ringmaster, who fed on the blood and attention of Shade’s fans. Shade is responsible for the House of Doorways escape room attraction, but his true purpose for creating the venue was to lure in the Greater Orlando Escapists and sacrifice them to the Ringmaster to free himself from their deal. Shade vanishes after the Escapists are killed.

He appears in “House of Doorways.”
작업반

## 1. 개요

회식중인 1기 멤버 작업반, XCCR에서 2분간의 건배사 후 건배를 올리고 있다.

CWU 산하에 있는 정규직 노동자들로 이뤄진 일종의 다목적 노동반이다.

배달, 청소, 노동 여러 부면을 아울러 갖가지 활동을 하며 일용직인 시민의 노동과는 달리 작업반 전담의 특수노동이 존재하며 고위험 노동의 경우 노동 도중 사망시 캐밴까지 당할 수 있음에도 빠짐없이 다들 참여했던 팀이다.

팩션이 아닌 일종의 단체로 취급되며, 그로 인해 몇 안 되는 '시민'단체 중 하나라 할 수 있다.

꽤나 화기애애한 분위기로 단체 내 인물들의 관계도 제법 좋은편이었다.

## 3. 이야깃거리

CWU, UM 관련해서 각각 2명, 1명을 배출한 단체로 몇몇 서버 인원들은 에듀윌과 서울사이버대학의 중독성 강한 곡을 가져야 '연합공무원 최다합격 작업반 반 최다 연합공무원 작업반 반' 이나 '작업사이버대학을 다니고 나의 노동 인생 시작됐다' 등 여러 소소한 패러디 요소를 배출하기도 했다.

동양인과 흑인을 비롯해 다국적인 인물들로 이뤄졌던 PC(그PC아님ㅎ)한 단체이다...

CWU 구속수사건과 관련해서 작업반 관련 인물들도 같이 수사를 받았었는데 그 과정에서 몇명 사망하고 몇명은 사직, 여러 복합적인 요소들로 인해 크게 휘청이다가 한번은 작업반 명단에 작업반장밖에 남지않는 안습한 상황도 있었다... 다시보는 회식 사진이 연민을 불러일으킨다는게 주류의 반응.

그러나 3월15일을 기점으로 반장 카를이 여러 사람들과 상담을 한 후 마음을 다잡은 뒤에 작업반 인원 모집을 재개했다. 깨나 많은 신청자가 있지만서도 아직 불안정하기에 휘청거리는감이 없잖아 있긴하다. 솔직히 필자가 여러모로 조금 심란해서 영향을 받지않나싶기도하다.

시민단체인만큼 구성원의 대부분이 유저인데 자연스레 생겨날수 있는 좆목 문제에 대해서도 민감하게 다루기 위해 주의를 기울이는 중입니다. 좆목 이야기 많이 안 나오도록 많이 고려해가며 활동하려고 노력중이니, 좃목같이 느껴지심 꼭 말해주시길바랍니다...

3월 28일부로 CWU에 완전소속되었다

1. ↑ 하수도 정화, UU 전자기기 점검, 도박장 기계 수리 등등...
2. ↑ 캐릭터들 사망서술 시점은 2019 3월 13일

작업반 신청은 했으나 활동 안한 인원은 명단에서 제외함
Smoke Over Blacktooth Valley

*"Eventually, I would catch up. He always trusted that I would*.”

--

The eighth story in *The Neverglades: Multiverse Chronicles*, written by guest author Kel Byron.

In the lawless desert of the American West, a cowboy named Hannigan fights otherworldly creatures alongside the mysterious Gunslinger. Their hunt takes them to the ghost town of Blacktooth Valley, where an entity called the Blight seems to have caused the disappearance of all the townsfolk. Can this unlikely duo stop the Blight before it brings another town to ruin?

## Characters

* Mark Hannigan (Cowboy)
* The Gunslinger
* Sidewinder
* The Blight

## Settings

* Blacktooth Valley
* Widow's Creek

## Notes

* This universe’s main point of divergence was Mark Hannigan being born in the Wild West era as opposed to modern day Pacific Glade. The Inspector fights alongside him in his Gunslinger alias, who made an appearance in the Neverglades story “A Thousand Glistening Threads.”
* The Gunslinger is recruited by Meta Mark in “Blood Moon” to help take down his own dark counterpart, the Sightless.
Thomas Everly

**Thomas Everly** was an elderly pastor at the Church of the Blessed Harmony. He founded the church after years of oversea missionary work during WWII. Although he sent Theo Broderick and Chester Dawson to investigate the possession of Lucy Sable, he ultimately concluded that she was not possessed by the Devil and forbade the exorcism. He left many harsh and scathing comments in the journals of the deceased priests. He died of natural causes shortly after visiting the Sable property for the last time.

He appears in “The Exorcism of Lucy Sable.”
