In the first page of the comic, we’re set within the imaginary house of one of my friends for a Halloween party. There’s five people currently inside celebrating. In the front near the left bottom side of the image is Emily and her partner Kamilah, chatting. Behind them stands the owner of this house, Max, talking with Fayth. On the right by himself is Josh. Everyone save for Josh is dressed up in costumes, with Fayth being dressed as Rosalina, Max in a dinosaur onesie, and both Emily and Kamilah dressed as a cat and dog respectively. The front door slowly freaks open, as if trying to not draw attention. Fayth and Max don’t notice the door; either Fayth wondering where Kirby is and Max suggesting they were picking up Cajmere and got stuck in traffic. Josh however notices the door ajar, and walks towards it off scene.
In page two, Kirby Gomes through the front door humming and wiping off some red substance from their mouth. Josh scares them accidentally though saying “Good morning! Welcome to the party.” Whilst flipping Kirby the bird. Kirby whispers back “A warning next time Josh…” to which she apologizes and questions them on not being in a costume since they had stated they were working on a costume months in advance.
In page three, Kirby stands still as they buffer; wondering what Josh meant about the costume. They then realize that the party got moved up onto actually being on Halloween as opposed to the week after the group agreed upon initially. “I came totally unprepared! Looks like I won’t need that fake blood for another week.” She cries. He then adds “At least I’m not the only one dressed in normal clothes.”. In the background, Cajmere finally appears. His face is a bit pale and he seems to be a bit lightheaded; suggesting from the blood on Kirby’s lips that it drank his blood.
In page four the original cast from the first page stands in shock and slight fear. Emily drops their drink onto the floor, spilling it everywhere. A few people have their own responses to Kirby’s information.
“Oh so that IS real blood, ok-“ Josh blurs out.
“So you’re telling us that NOT fake blood?” questions Max.
“Uh…I think we all have a few questions” adds Kamilah, staring in worry.
