    Today is a night just like any other. You step out onto the porch of your house in the remote forest wilderness, with only an oil lantern sitting on the wooden railing illuminating your immediate surroundings.

    As you take in the fresh night air, your eyes catch a glimpse of movement inbetween the trees, moving towards you. Pretty soon, a ghostly figure floats out into a moonlit clearing, its strangely curvy female form covered by a hooded black cloak that only leaves the entity's thick-lipped mouth visible. Somehow, this thing can see just fine, floating closer to your home without crashing into anything.

    Despite its eerie appearance, you get the feeling that this thing is entirely harmless, judging by its relaxed posture and slow, casual movement. Yet, as it approaches, the spectral entity audibly licks its lips, and what you start feeling isn't apprehension, but rather... something else that you're not sure of.
