MHOS Part 7: Cannibal Town (Day 2)

It's a brand new day in my brand new body in a brand new world where I can practice my brand new abilities. And what better a place to do it than right here in hell. We all know what we did to get here, my plan is to continue to do so right where I am.

The place is pretty well stocked so I don't need to worry about finding a hardware store.. or grocery store.. so.. I'm getting in my little car and taking a wander. As I begin exploring the lay of the land I cross past the clean up crew that is taking care of Gary and the two others he was with. No one upset, no shock, no horror, just another Wednesday in hell I guess. I'm going to name the car Gary, because why not? He gave it to me like a spawning gift in some twisted little way.

I drive out of my neighbourhood and see an immaculate area up ahead. Manicured lawns, paved roads, absolutely gorgeous. I simply must check it out. As I approach I see a sign on an archway "Cannibal Town"

"Oh!" I say out loud to myself as I slow down and put the car in park right at the entrance. If hell is this clearly labelled, I know exactly what part of hell I want to find.. but first.. I can't resist taking a tour of Cannibal town.. Something so beautiful couldn't be passed up. I leave Gary where he is and put my keys on my belt incase I need to make a quick get away, but I don't anticipate trouble in a place so well put together.

I begin walking my way up the main boulevard and am greeted politely by passersby and am feeling unusually safe for being in hell, but I go with it. I turn on the charm and smile back at anyone looking my way with the grace and confidence of a person who knows more than I do.

As I walk I see shops, cafe's, a delicatessen, and a beautiful park area with a lake in it and I had the urge to move further into Cannibal town to take it all in. I entered the park and followed a path leading to the lake and as I do I see a gazebo up ahead with two dapper looking people in it.

She is in a two tone, red dress, full length, with a large black and red hat decorated with skulls, feathers & lace, placed on her perfectly coiffed white hair. Her eyes are black, her nails are unnaturally sharp, and her smile is warm, she makes eye contact with me as I am passing by and smiles that smile at me and waves me over. The man that she is with turns to look at me. Smiling as well he scans me once from top to bottom, looks back at her and says, "It's been a delight as always Rosie, but I simply must be going" He kisses her on the hand and melts into a shadow in the span of a blink.

The woman notices the surprise on my face as she continues to wave me over to the table to sit with her and she says "Oh, don't mind Alastor, he's got things to do and people to see. But you, you absolutely must sit down, I have never seen you in my part of hell before, what brings a sweet little siren like you into my neighbourhood? Are we looking for advice? a favor? a tour? are we dabbling in cannibalism? Tell me sweetie, what can Aunty Rosie do for you?"
