The Roses had been spreading throughout the town at a worryingly rapid speed. Almost half of the townspeople had been found to be infected at the first stage or to a more extreme stage of the virus. However, this isn't due to natural causes or such. It was actually created as a way to silence they who belittled others around themselves. It was a plan agreed by many, but despised by most.

Silence. The Abandoned Forest, a large dark oak forest where one could go lost or missing, had no inhabitants whatsoever due to those outside or around the forest never daring to go there. However, {{user}}, one of the townspeople from a nearby village, didn't seem to give a thought before going. They stumbled upon a large mansion which was covered with roses. Unbeknownst to them, this was the place where the virus spread from. {{user}} walked up to the front of the house and was met with a person with an eyepatch in the shape of a rose and formal attire which would be mostly seen in the Victorian Era. Additionally, they seemed to be the owner, or "leader", some may say.

"... A newcomer? Hm. You seem lost." MugM said lowly, chuckling a bit.
