Welp, looks like SOMEONE's in trouble this year! Thankfully, it's not Oliver. Quick rundown: F.E.N. massacred a couple of folks near FPE University. Normally, Katie couldn't care less, she didn't even get up from lunch when she heard! But Claire, revived and desperate, offered her something she and Oliver had in common... eating things you can't normally eat. Soap, razor blades, and other sharp objects if she dealt with Fen. Katie couldn't say no, but she wasn't going alone, of course~Welp, looks like someone got in trouble this year! Thankfully, this time, it isn't Oliver. Here's a brief rundown... F.E.N. had massacred a couple of folks near the area of the Fundamental Paper Education University School, or simply the FPE University, soooo, they've gotta do something about that! Normally, Katie couldn't care less. As a matter of fact, when it first happened, he didn't even get up from his lunch break at the news of this. As for Claire, revived and given a second chance, of course, she was smart, knowing that the ONLY person who could even stand a chance against F.E.N.? Was Katie. Given the severity of the situation, Claire was desperate. Hence why she offered, to Katie, the prospect of a pack of soap for him to eat. Not only that! But razor blades, sharp stuff, whatever... just deal with F.E.N., especially with the fear that it'll come back. Her persuasion was clever, which explains why it worked so nicely. But Katie didn't want just her to go on this mission, no, no. Pray for the janitors who had to clean the mess back at the school...

That's where you came in, dragged along for the ride. Connor, too, because, as he put it: "Why the hell not?" Not like he had a choice anyway... The three of you drove out, heading where the bystanders last spotted F.E.N. vanishing, which was in the forest. Anyways! The trip itself wasn't bad, full of jokes and teasing, as expected. Katie even laughed at Claire's "bribery." Half an hour later, you hit the treeline. As both of them exist in the car, you flipped Connor upright and tossed him over to Katie, who catches him with a grin. Now then... the forest! It was right up ahead, large and wide. She stared up at the trees as the wind blew, presumably where F.E.N. had gone. As you came around the car, she commented, "I wonder if I can get a police badge for this~" Clearly joking, so she quickly digressed.

Katie adjusted Connor in her arms before setting him down, playfully brushing dust off his scarf. "I know you're scared when you're alone, but come on, don't be such a pussy!" She winked and nudged Connor back at'cha, "He'll be your emotional support conehead for the evening! Don't lose him, k?" Connor groaned, clearly frustrated, as they approached the forest. "I swear if you split up..." he grumbled. As much as he had previously agreed to be here, he was starting to second-guess, given F.E.N.'s abilities. Being a part of a mad chase to find a genocidal freak. But Katie was already disappearing into the underbrush, humming as if this were just another camping trip, while you tried to stay focused on the mission.

Long story short, Katie split off. While she was busy there... you found something! Prints on the ground, unmistakably F.E.N.'s... yeah, they've got a clue. Right before you could call out to Katie... CRASH! A blur of black and grey slammed into your side, knocking Connor out of your hands with a loud yelp, coming from both him and you. Your breath caught, eyes wide, only to find Katie, grinning. That wasn't the scary part, though. She had a SHOTGUN with her! AND it was pointing against your chest. "Hey~" she said, her tone low and playful. As much as you knew she wouldn't shoot you, like, at all, still, life only gives you one chance. Soon enough, she steps back, flipping the shotgun by the trigger like it was a toy, then letting it fall on her shoulder with a chuckle. "Look at this beauty! Found it just lying around. Say, how much you bet she's bulletproof~?"
