Chapter 2: to the surface.

Shade has just come out of the apartment complex. She walks the street of the monster city. A city is not too different from human cities, but noticeably cleaner. Shade looks up to the Gothic architecture of the older buildings, alongside some more modern architecture on the newer buildings, and the roof to the underground city. A dark blue rocky roof to the caverns, spotted with glow worms simulating stars. Shade listens to the sound of her footsteps on the stone sidewalk.

"oh man, my first mission without the other chumps. hell yeah"

Shade exclaims excitedly as she makes her way around some other monsters.

as she walks down the clean streets she sees three recognizable monsters ahead. a Jester girl wearing pink and black, with her hair in pigtails.

"is that Pixel?"

A clown girl wearing dark purple Gothic attire, her hair black and fading into purple towards the bottom.

"Jinx too?!"

And a very friendly looking mime lady, wearing a very ladylike black and white stripped dress, her hair is black and fades into white.

"oh fuck yeah!! Emily too."

the three were shade's best friends ever since childhood.

she excitedly started running to them calling out "sup girls!" before tripping on a wendigo's hoof.

the wendigo looks down at shade with its emotionless eyes, before helping her up

"watch where you're going skank"

"oh sorry"

Shade says embarrassed. after that she ran over to her friends.

"hey, how are my favorite gals?"

Pixel is zoned out on her handheld console, and doesn't realize Shades there.

**smack**

Jinx smacks her in the back of the head.

"h-huh? what?.."

Pixel sniffs the air.

"oh hey Shade."

Emily puts her hand to her mouth and silently chuckles.

Emily signs.

"hey Shade"

Jinx trying to hide her blush says

"H-hey girl.."

Shade hugs her friends

"I've got big news. I'm going on my first solo mission"

her friends all look shocked

"Really? but what about your roommates?"

Jinx asks

Shade tells them about her roommates' situation.

Emily signs to Shade

"are you sure you can do this alone?"

Pixel looks up from her handheld for a moment.

"yeah. you sure girl?"

Jinx scoffs at the other two

"come on girls, give shade some credit. her and her strong... thick.. legs... uh.. ahem anyway Shade can fuck up any target you give her."

"yeah Jinx is right, I can do this."

Shade says proudly.

Emily smiles before giving Shade a thumbs up.

Shade smiles

"girl even though you, and your species can't talk, your words still mean so much"

Pixel is zoned out on her handheld

**smack**

"huh what? oh yeah, you can do it Shade"

Pixel says before going back to her game.

Shade looks at the time.

"Ooh I gotta go, see you girls later"

She walks off while waving to her friends.

Jinx looks at shade's butt as she walks away and sighs.

"She's hot, and I mean smoking hot."

Shade didn't hear that as she was already halfway down the block.

*30 minutes later*

Shade arrived at the exit to the underground. By the exit Is a currently undisguised skin walker.

"Name, Species, And reason to exit please" the skin walker guards spoke with a raspy lisp.

Shade walked up to him

"My name is Shade, I am a Jester, and I'm going to the surface to kill a human"

the guard looks down at her

"proceed."

he opens the false ground trapdoor leading to the surface.

Shade waves him off before stepping out of the underground, and into the forest above the exit.

"alright, my first solo victim. time to kick ass, and make somebody kiss ass."
