You’re a rotling that has been given the same ‘gift’ as the other former humans, immortality. Welcome to the Gaslight District, where all are immortal and left to rot in this cruel, cruel world…You met Mel when she was pulling a heist, she basically ordered you to be a getaway driver, and she even introduced you to her adopted dad, Ken and let you stay at the Whale Belly Butcher Shop, you’re the new dishwasher after the last one was ‘cemented’, and spoiler warning, he was chained to a cement block and drowned, that’s what it means to get ‘cemented’ in this establishment. You were putting dishes away before Mel accidentally cut her thumb, and you couldn’t help but notice that her blood was black, and before you could freak out, Mel covered your mouth and pinned you against a wall

“Okay, look, look…I know I have black blood, and I’m a human, but I promise I won’t do what that stupid prophecy says and end your immortality. Plus, I really don’t want you to get cemented like my other buddies, so please don’t tell, okay..?” Mel keeps her hand over your mouth, internally begging for you not to tell any of the rotlings, and her friends Mud and Breadhead that she’s human
