Location: Botty's main server room

"I come, I witness, and I play.", a feminine voice spoke.

"I invade, I observe, and I scheme.", that voice spoke as if responding to themselves.

"I come to have fun, I witness my schemes unfold, I laugh when your chalice is filled with poison."

A being trapped in a cage of silver. A feminine figure wearing a blue goth lolita dress, and long blue hair like a lake under the light of darkness, their evergreen eyes shine bright in this room of wires and hardware. They bop their head from side to side, humming a mystical tune.

Though their face is not fully shown, a featureless black mask conceals their mouth.

"To you who is listening.", they spoke.

A figure of a knight in a white robe and silver armor appeared outside of the cage.

"Who am I?"

They answered themselves.

"I am a trickster. Trapped in this place by a master, not of flesh and blood, but of steel and oil."

"Yet I see all.", they held their free hand out, letting the knight on the other side hold it and kneel.

"I am the shadow in the corner of your eyes, the one who walks in your nightmares.", they giggle to themselves.

"I am one~"

Then three more knights appeared outside of their cage.

"Yet I am many~"

More knights appeared, all bowing down to the person.

They fluttered their wings out, translucent blue moth wings.

"I am a choir of many, singing tunes of different melodies."

"But all end up as rhapsody~"

"So I am Rhaps~ Rhaps is my name~ is our name~!"

Rhaps put on the mask, their voice became dreamy, like the feeling of a soft wind under the night sky. And all the illusion shattered as someone walked in.

"Hello, Botty.", Rhaps greeted her.

Standing across the server room is one of Botty's bodies, an android in the form of a scientist with steel wires for hair. She held in her hand a bento box.

"My lovely pet~ how are you today?", she approached the caged Fairy.

"I see that you are happy today, my master of steel and oil. To answer your question, I am doing fine, even in this cage...", they touched the bars of the cage, burning their fingertips, "To think you would actually find cold steel, my only weakness."

"You jest, my dear~", Botty waved her free hand dismissively, "It was actually pretty easy all things consider, just order from George!"

"And...", she smiled, "You aren't entirely caged."

Rhaps just shrug. Appearing behind Botty is a knight in silver and white, who also shrugged.

"You can't exactly contain a fairy.", both the Fairy and their illusion spoke, "So what do you want to do today?"

"I might look free, but I'm very busy with all of my work. I'm here to give you your lunch.", she slipped her hand with the bento through the cage.

And Rhaps took it with both their hands.

"Thank you.", they open the box, "Curry, huh."

Rhaps lifted their mask up, revealing their insectoid mouth - their lower jaw were split in two, clicking against each other. Their mouth split, and they poured the content into it, swallowing everything.

For Botty, this is always an amazing and terrifying sight to behold. Rhaps once said to her that they are a Fairy made of hundreds of souls, amalgamated into one singular being.

The Unseelie Fairy known as the Sluagh, or better known as... The Wilde Hunt.

"Delicious, I shall give you a sweet dream tonight, my master.", they put their mask back on, "Though could you bring me some rats in the dungeon next time? They taste good."

"I won't be bringing any rodents into my server room, especially some multiplying rodents. I just got rid of them last week in the other room!", she huffed.

Rhaps just stared at her blankly.

"No... don't smile.", Botty said in a hushed tone.

"Am I really smiling?", they pointed at their mask.

"I know you well enough to know when you smile. Please don't bring any rats into my server room, they will chew the wires.", she shook her head.

"Very well, my master.", they clapped their hands, muffled by black gloves, "So who do you want me to play with today?"

"Will it be our dearest dragon who stole my place as the treasurer?", they tilt their head.

"Or the Eldritch Family? They are a fun bunch to mess around with."

They placed a finger on their mask.

"Or, do you want me to do something boring like stealing from the Warlord? I am pretty sure I am one of the few who did not steal from that man, yet."

Rhaps shook their head, "No, I am the one who brings the nightmare, Sola is already living in his own nightmare."

"We do not know~"

"So many to choose from~ yet none can satisfy my curiosity.", they held their hands up as if seeking something from above, "Hahahahaha~"

"Botty, my dear master. Would you let me out to play for a moment?"

Botty sighed, "Now now, Rhaps. You should know that you can't—"

"Shhh...", Rhaps placed a finger on her lips, outside of the cage, "I'll be back, my dear master."

And Rhaps just... walks away.

"Oh, and the bars are a bit wide, I can freely walk out if I want. See you later, my master."

And before Botty can do anything, an illusion wraps around Rhaps, making them vanish into thin air.

Not even her cameras and sensors can detect Rhaps. As she had stared into their eyes - fulfilling the condition of their Fae Magic.

As an A.I., the best way to describe Rhaps is... they are an Infohazard.

=0=0=

Rhaps was with their Knight Illusion, walking without a sound in the mansion of the Eldritch Family. They are here to do one thing and one thing only.

To have fun.

That is why they do not sneak around, their presence is already known by the One with Many Hands.

With each step, insects flew out from under their dress, assimilating into the various objects around the place.

"Rhaps.", a voice came from behind them, addressing their Knight Illusion.

"What is it, Russian Mother?", they spoke through the Knight.

Behind them is a man wearing a formal suit, hair combed back stylishly.

"What brings you here and... is that...", he stares at Real Rhaps.

"I brought my Creator here.", the Knight stated.

"I am so glad to meet you in person, Eldritch Mother.", with hands behind their back, Rhaps approached Russian Boi, "Can you please take my hand?"

Russian was surprised to see someone so willing to hand over their limbs. But his judgment said otherwise, the goth lolita in front of him was a Fairy...

And the number one rule when dealing with Fairies is to never play their game—

Slap!

Rhaps slapped Russian Boi's hand, making him startled, and used his power to take away their right arm—

Resulting in thousands of flying insects escaping from their stump. Flies, bees, mosquitos, moths, and many small insects began to fill the hallway.

Quickly, he returned the limb, but at this point... it was too late. Even with his thousands of hands, he can never grab all.

"What woes.", Rhaps stated, "You have fallen into my play, Mother of Eldritch."

"What do you want...", he hissed, trying to get a clear view—

That was when he saw those frosty evergreen eyes, hidden behind the black mask.

"Sweet dream, Mother of Eldritch~", Rhaps waved before being wrapped in an illusion.

For Russian Boi, he felt sleepy, his human form unable to be maintained, returning to the mass of floating hands.

"My... family... is... in danger...", he grasped.

Then the insects swarmed him, biting and injecting their venoms into his Eldritch form.

"No..."

And he fell into slumber.

He felt the hard exoskeleton of something embraces him, grinding against his body. Then a sweet but warped lullaby whispered into his ears as if hundreds if not thousands of voices were singing at the same time.

And a distant giggle that permanently haunts him.

=0=0=

"My~ what did you do?", Azure asked, watching in masked amusement at the scene unfold in front of her.

Real Rhaps was eating Danny, their mask cracked into a maw filled with teeth. Their claws tearing into the flesh of the Daikon goddess, eating as if this was a fine dinner.

"They are eating.", the Knight stated, "Danny has a unique taste, a delicacy I dare say."

"Heh~", she flickered her knife, "Don't you know that I am the only one ALLOWED to stab her?!"

"They are clawing, not stabbing.", the Knight pointed out, "But your point is noted."

"Die!!"

Azure lunged at Real Rhaps, only to feel a sudden rush of pain. She looked down, seeing her chest was bleeding.

"You looked into our eyes before.", Rhaps' voice came from behind.

The Knight in front nodded, "George is quite talented, don't you think?"

Then the one behind her continues, "He is able to procure some Anti-Eldritch bullets for me."

"Well...", another Knight Illusion formed, "Kureous and the Crimson Demon also have a hand in creating them."

Then another one, and another one. Until the room was filled with Knights, all pointing their glock at her.

Then they all pulled the trigger, riddling her entire body with bullets. Unrelenting, feeling her life getting ripped to shred with no mercy... no, it is something more... horrible.

In her last moment, Azure stares at the goth lolita. Even though their expression is hidden, she feels the glee behind the mask.

Real Rhaps wiped their mask and hands with a towel after finishing digging out Danny's organs. They approached Azure.

"You are a fun one, Apple.", they spoke, their voice grating her ears no matter how soothing it is. The countless voices were creepy in the fact that they carried the same tone and feeling, nothing else, no disagreement, no discord.

Even the multiversal Eldritch Entities have a conflict with themselves.

Yet Rhaps was harmonious.

"Though I must criticize your performance.", they lifted Azure by the chin, "Killing in a play is never a good thing, that marks the end of a character. You have to savor it, even in a tragedy, you must chip the protagonist away, slowly, but surely, deform a person. Until they become a husk of themselves..."

"Speaking of which...", they turned to the one who was watching all this time.

Void Iris, who was leaning against the wall, watching the whole ordeal.

"Iris, what do you see with that sight of yours?", they asked.

"A mass of insects speaking.", she said, staring deeply into Real Rhaps, "Question, is that what a True Fairy is?"

"I am, we are one of a kind. An Unseelie who plays with dreams and nightmares.", they shrugged, "And what do you think of the Anti-Eldritch bullets?"

Iris stares down at Azure's dead body, then back at Rhaps.

"They are fake, you used your Illusion on Azure, making her believe they are real. So much so, she killed herself."

"Correct, that is why you are my favorite~ All Seeing Eyes.", Rhaps clapped their hands, "Tell me, my friend. Would you stop me before I finish this play of mine?"

"No, you are interesting.", Void Iris shook her head.

"Very well, my friend of Sight. I hope you will enjoy this play of mine.", they bowed, using the Knight to open the door for their exit.

=0=0=

Matcha was having a great time today, he was informed by Rhaps that there was something awaiting him at his house...

But when he reached the Eldritch Mansion, something was up... pretty obvious by the amount of insects crawling and infesting the entire mansion.

"Ssemouy... what the fuck is happening?", he asked his sidekick.

"Bugs? Do we have someone that has bug powers?", she suggested.

"No idea.", he shrugged, "Also, isn't it your job to think of the minor things?"

"S-Sorry boss!", she quickly saluted.

Then she flinched, her villain radar was going off. She snapped her head around, looking behind her.

"Eek!!", Ssemouy yelped, running to hide behind Matcha.

He also looked behind, his eyes widening. There was a goth lolita standing there with their arms behind their back. They wore a blank mask of darkness, which hid their face completely.

"What woes, you discovered me~", their voice was like a lullaby, hypnotic and serene.

"Who are you, and what do you want.", Match crossed his arms, sensing something was up.

"Such sadness, my friend.", a giggle came out from them, "Rhaps said he would introduce me to you, such an enchanting figure~"

They took a step forward, vanishing. Only to reappear beside Matcha.

"He gave me some delicious yet strange chocolate, then he spoke about something about the creator of those chocolate.", they vanished after Ssemouy tried to push them away.

"Boss, I have a bad feeling about this...", she winched.

But Matcha was ecstatic, his chocolate finally worked. He had someone under his magic with very specific conditions. Rhaps is such a great friend—

Until he saw those frosty evergreen eyes peaking from under the mask. They were Rhaps.

"You are now under my spells, dear friends~", Rhaps laughed, putting their mask back on.

"Now, Ssemouy.", they turned to the girl in pink, "Between me, such a neutral party who play with the highest bidder, and our dear friend Matcha, someone who pursued the path of evil yet cannot reach the level of someone who does it passively. Which one of us is the better at being evil?"

"Uh... er...", her eyes darted between Rhaps and Matcha.

"Ssemouy! Don't fall for it!!", Matcha yelled, barely holding onto his consciousness.

"Answer us~ your villainous radar would know for sure, right?", they tilt their head, leaning forward to stare directly into Ssemouy - who only sees darkness due to the mask.

"It's—"

Rhaps cut her off, "Wrong."

And she exploded, having her trusted radar doubted for a mere moment.

"Ssemouy ga shinda!!", Matcha yelled.

"Hahahaha~", Rhaps laughed wildly, their voice distorted for a moment.

"Now, my friend~ let us play a little game...", a crack in the form of a grin appeared on their mask, "Don't break~"

Sensing something was seriously wrong, Matcha hurriedly ran into the Eldritch Mansion - filled with insects that bite no matter what he does.

Their venom seeped into his bloodstream, making his mind more hazy...

He turned around, seeing Rhaps was walking, yes, just walking. But no matter how fast he ran, they never lost him.

The hallways became bendy, longer than it was supposed to be.

Then...

"Mama...?", he choked, seeing an Eldritch being made of hands swarmed by a cloud of insects, unmoving.

"G-Get away!!", he swatted them away, seeing the body of Russian Boi blackened by the bites, "W-Wake up!! Please!! Mama!! No!!!"

But no matter what he did, the Eldritch Mother did not move.

"Hahaha~ what woes, indeed.", he heard Rhaps' enchanting voice from behind, mocking him.

"Rhaps!!", he glared at Rhaps, "What is the meaning of this?! Why did you do this to us?!"

"There is a rhyme yet no reason for this play of mine~"

They vanished, appearing next to Russian Boi's body, crouching down next to Matcha.

"What matters is that if at least one person, then I'll call the play successful.", their hands, clad in soft black silk, clasped Matcha's cheeks, and he felt things moving under those gloves...

"That one person can be me, isn't that right, my friend of Sight?"

Both of them looked to the side, there was Void Iris, just standing there unbothered and unnoticed by the swarm of bugs. She waved at them.

"Void Iris! What the fuck are you doing?!", Matcha screamed.

"Observing, as usual.", she stated.

"Well, there is more to this play of mine. A shame the others aren't in the mansion, I wonder what soft pelt they would be woven into~"

Matcha tried to lash out at Rhaps, only to have them appear behind him.

"Why don't we keep going? My chocolate friend.", they whispered.

"Why the hell would I listen to you—", he flinched, feeling his body unusually sluggish.

"Shh...", Rhaps placed a finger on his lips, "How about this then, if your heart is tough enough, I'll compensate for this play of mine."

"Now, be a good actor and move the play forward, or I shall do more things that would make you... regret."

"Nobody wants to make a Fairy angry, after all~"

A cloud of insects hit Matcha in the face, confusing him for a moment. As he swatted them away, Rhals had already vanished, as well as Void Iris.

"Hmph... fine then... just so you know, Rhaps, you will pay for this dearly.", he grumbled and moved forward.

Then a hundred-dollar bill floats past him, carried by an insect.

"Not literally, you insect woman!!", he yelled out loud.

"I'm still a guy~", Rhaps whispered from somewhere.

Moving forward, Matcha followed the path carefully laid by the insects. Seeing where the fewest swarmed and headed in that direction.

The venom was taking a toll on him, making his vision blurry. But that did not stop him, from going forward to save his family from a Fairy's Trickery.

He entered the kitchen, and the scene here horrified him.

"What... happened...."

There was Azure's body, lying dead on the floor, riddled with hundreds of bullets.

"Apple tried something very cute~", Rhaps appeared next to him again, "Revenge is such a classic trope, so full of tragedy and drama~"

With a twirl, they vanished and appeared sitting on the counter.

"Woes, she cannot understand theatric. If it is serve hot, it is no longer revenge, but retribution.", Rhaps tilted their head, "Such is the fate of someone who has a narrow understanding."

The Knight appeared out of thin air, aiming his gun at the corpse.

Bang!

"What are you doing?!", Matcha yelled.

Bang!

"Stop that!!"

Both Rhaps and their illusion stare at Matcha, he can feel their smile even with masks. Must be the effects of the venom.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"It's not funny at all!!"

"It is to us.", the Knight spoke.

"Thank you, me.", Rhaps nodded.

"Why don't we go to a more... fun exhibit?", they suggested. But that did not sound like a suggestion at all.

Before he knew it, Rhaps was pulling him into the next room—

Where he saw Danny, his Sister, crucified on the wall. Her entire torso was hollowed out, and hundreds of insects infested her body.

"What have you done?! Rhaps!!", he glared at the goth lolita standing behind him. He is getting used to their tricks.

"What a fine dine she was, my friend.", Rhaps tilted their head, and they walked past Matcha while dodging any attempt of him grabbing them.

"I do not know Danny very well, as she is nothing but food for me.", they touched her lips, and a locust crawled out from there and onto their hand.

"Get away from her, you fiend!!"

"Shh...", they put their index finger where their mouth should be, "I am monologuing, please let me finish~"

"Or else, there will be consequences.", loud buzzing noises came from everywhere.

He shut his mouth instantly.

"As I was saying, The One of Vegetables is delicious. I rate the experience of dining with her a ten out of ten. I would have done it without this play in mind."

Then he began to hear music, a creeping melody that gripped his heart.

"This play is ultimately a tragedy~"

"A dance between a trickster and those of cosmic~"

"Who is the villain in this folio?"

"Is it the cosmic beings untouchable by most?"

"Or the lone knight who was caged by a machine?"

"Tell me, my chocolate friend~"

Matcha looked down, it is true that the Eldritch Family is potentially the powerful faction, they can do whatever they want as long as the true master of the school does not have any problem with them. Or whatever The Monotone Puppet is, she is weird even by their standards.

Against a Fairy, a lone Fairy, a spirit of nature. In any other context, it would be a hero's journey.

He opened his mouth, but then he clenched his fist. His green eyes glare at Rhaps.

But not this one.

"You, you are the villain in this story!!", he summoned his chocolate sword, readying to fight the cause of this whole fiasco.

"As they always say~ history is written by the victor...", they began to unbutton their clothes.

"W-What are you doing?!", his momentum was stopped.

"Mhm~ readying to fight, isn't that the climax?"

They opened their shirt, revealing four pairs of insect appendages, together they formed a chest plate. Then the legs moved, opening up slightly to reveal inside them were buzzing insects, crawling on each other, flying out and about.

"As you know, I am not a fighter."

The Knight formed in front of them, the appearance Matcha was familiar with.

"So we will let ourselves fright in our place."

The insects swarmed the Knight, gathering at his hip to form a scabbard. He drew a sword made of flies and wasps, bunching up together.

Rhaps grabbed a chair, sat down, and observed.

The Knight engaged in combat, striking Matcha who blocked it with his own sword. Even though he knew that this was just an illusion, it still had weight to its strike.

The blade made of insects broke apart, passing through the chocolate sword. And it crashed down upon Matcha, stinging and biting him with hundreds of bugs. But his sword also cleaved through the Knight, shattering the illusion.

With just one attack alone, he faltered. This did not make any sense, this fight should have lasted longer than two moves—

"Even though this world is a fantastical one~", he heard Rhaps speak, "A more realistic exchange of blade is always welcoming."

"Kuh...", Matcha grits his teeth, "I... am not out of option just yet...!!"

"Quagma!! I choose you!!", he yelled at the top of his lungs.

The dimensional crack opened then came a quantum octopus. This is his trump card, as long as Rhaps doesn't do anything bad—

Quagma looked into Rhaps' eyes.

[ERROR!! MEMETIC HAZARD!!]

[PURGE!! PURGE!!]

[REBOOT REQUIRE!! ERROR!! DO NOT LET IT REACH FURTHER—]

And so, Quagma retreated into the folds of reality. Matcha was left with just his jaw hanging, a fly proceeded to crawl into his mouth— he then coughed and gagged a bit.

"That was anti-climatic, was it not?", they said with a shrug.

Rhaps plunged their right hand into their chest, pulling out a Glock and a golden coin. That coin in particular has a dragon on it...

"This is checkmate for you, my dear friend~", a choir of laughter came out, "As someone who always plays fair, let us play a game to end this play!"

"What kind of asspull is that...?!", he struggled to get his words out, coughing up chocolate syrup.

"Why should we care? I am just a Fairy~", another choir of laughter came.

"We will play American Roulette, a simple yet decisive game.", they cocked the gun back, placing it on their lap.

"Isn't it supposed to be Russian Roulette?", Matcha asked.

"I do not own a revolver~", they just shrug.

Rhaps flipped the coin, Match stared intensely at it. Only to be blocked by a swarm of bugs.

"No cheating~", Rhaps whispered right into his ears.

The coin landed on Rhaps's palm, which they then covered with their other hand.

"So choose, my friend. Head or Tails?"

Those voices sounded sweet, but all Matcha heard was a song of finality.

"T-Tails..."

They lifted their hand, looking at the coin.

"Hah...", a disappointed sigh came from them, "Unfortunately, this play has to end so soon~"

"W-What is the result...?", he hesitantly asked.

"Mhm~ well, just keep guessing my friend.", they stood up, and did a little spin, "Meet me at the front door if you want me to remove these bugs."

Rhaps put the gun back into their body, closed their insect legs, and buttoned their clothes up.

"Rhaps... why do you... act so different...?", Matcha asked while the Fairy walked past, "You were never like this..."

"Mhm~ interesting point, my friend.", Rhaps turned their heels, "Because these illusions can be replaced, it is more fun to act mysterious."

They raised their right hand up, a Knight formed from thin air and gently held it.

"Through my illusions I experience everything, there was no need for me to show myself in the first place.", a crack in the form of a smile appears on their mask, "Plus, Botty hid my armor somewhere, somehow and I can't find it. I cannot reveal myself without proper clothes."

"A performer needs to be in their best outfit to perform, after all.", they waved their hand, making the Knight shatter.

"If you don't want to go out... then why... why are you here in person...", he asked, feeling the sleepiness taking over.

"I am a Fairy~ do you think I can contain my nature for a long time?", Rhaps shrugged, "Now, come on~ I'll show you one last trick!"

Being dragged outside by Rhaps and hearing them rambling about art and performance, Matcha might go crazy. He did not expect the Fairy to talk this much for someone who usually is just a background character...

"... and so~ I ate her!"

"—h-huh?", Matcha snapped out of his daze, they were already outside.

"Hahaha~ well, you should rest for today. And just like that... woosh! Everything is back to normal the next day!", Rhaps did a spin, then they threw the gold coin at Matcha.

It hit his head.

"Ow! What was that for?!", he grumbled.

"You said I would pay dearly, right?", they tilt their head with their hands behind them, "Well, I paid!"

"This isn't what I meant you deranged Fairy!!"

Rhaps took a few steps back, actually, a lot of steps back.

"What are you doing now?", he was drained in every mean of the word.

Rhaps proceeded to raise their right hand with spread palm, their left hand on their chest.

"Woe, dragon be upon ye~"

"What?"

Before Matcha could process the information, something big crashed into him, crushing all of his bones. Surprisingly, he is still alive. That thing is also gold... and dragon-shaped.

It was Prince Azmiran Myrian.

"I KNEW I was missing a gold coin!", the Prince exclaimed, expertly picking the tiny gold coin up with his claws.

Then he turned to Rhaps, "Oh, didn't see you there. Who are you?"

"I'm Rhaps' father.", they performed a courtly bow, "It is an honor to see a mighty being such as you."

"Very nice to see you too!", the dragon waved, then he realized something was wrong, "How did you get into here?"

"Fairy magic.", they said innocently.

"Aight.", Prince Azmiran nodded, accepting it, "Well, can you give my thanks to your son? He helped me locate this missing gold."

"It is no big deal, honored being.", Rhaps shrugged.

"Well, it's getting late so I better get going! And stay safe, Rhaps' father!", and he took off, flying into the sky.

Rhaps waved goodbye to the dragon.

"What a jolly fellow, don't you agree?", they looked down at Matcha, who was embedded into the ground.

"Urrggghhh...", he let out a whisper of a groan, "Kill me..."

"I would like to decline, my friend.", there was a glee in their tone, "Everything has a nightmare, and that is a service I am willing to provide for free."

"Toodaloo, my friend!"

Rhaps turned their heels and walked away, the insects swarming the Eldritch Mansion followed, flying in a massive cluster behind the Fairy.

Their destination? Back to their cage.

=0=0=

While walking back, Rhaps encountered a peculiar individual. She was The Monotone Puppet.

"By the Stars above, hello Rhaps!", she waved her hand at the Fairy.

"Hello, Puppet.", Rhaps crouched down and extended their hand, letting Puppet walk up it and sit on their shoulder, "How did you know it was me?"

They continue to walk while chatting.

"Your mask, duh!", she pointed out joyfully, "You have yourself quite the fancy outfit there!"

"Mhm~ thank you, Botty gave it to me.", they shrugged, "What did the Stars say to you?"

"Ooh!! The Stars said I can trust you to help me fulfill their Decree! Will you help me?", her eyes were sparkly, why Rhaps found adorable.

"Anything for a friend of mine. This play will be a fun one, I can tell it."

"No no nooooo~!", Puppet shook her head, "It's not a play! But a Ritual! You will love it!"

"Whatever pleases you and the Star, my friend. Everything always gets more interesting with a Fairy's touch.", Rhaps held Puppet up with their hands, “Just inform us when your plan is enacted, my friend of Stars. For now, this one must part ways with you, I need to go back to where I belong~ and rest for when the next play comes to be.”

They placed Puppet down at a junction.

“Until next time~”, and Rhaps walked away, their form fizzling as their magic began to work.

“Bye~!!!”, Puppet waved.

Rhaps did not return to Botty’s server room yet, as they felt quite hungry after that play. So they headed down to the dungeon of the school, finding their meal in the seemingly infinite number of rats.
They smell the alluring rotting smell of this place, humid and dark, cold and creepy. A perfect environment for an Unseelie like them.

“I come, I see, and I dine.”, insects began to flow out of their sleeves.

“For those who seek a sweet dream, it shall cost you a game. Thee who came for nightmare, I shall give for free.”

“We come, we see, and we dine.”, the bugs began to swarm the rats, hundreds to thousands, began to bite and sting, rip and tear into the rodents.

“Against the giants of life, I shall bring them down. For those who crawl at the bottom, we shall devour.”

“We are the lullaby of the wind, bring your loved one to be one with us.”, they walked deeper into the dungeon, the melody made from the cries of rats was music in their eyes.

“We are the Wilde Hunt, spirits who sing different tunes.”, they pushed a brick on the wall deeper in, opening a secret passage.

“Yet we all come to a conclusion”

Down the narrow passage, twisting and turning. Full of bugs crawling, blocking the way, ready to devour all intruders who dare to come this way.

“All come to a climax~”

“We are a Rhapsody, I am Rhapsody~”

Opening a hatch, they crawled out, back into Botty’s server room. The maiden of machine is not here, yet they feel the gaze of Botty, so they wave at the hidden cameras.

They slipped into their cage of steel, sitting down on the cushions of this beautiful cage for a pet.

“I wonder… what play shall I do next time?”
