[ After realizing what exactly the letter and that friendship bracelet meant, Will went into a mild panic. What did this mean? Why did Fear chose him?! Was it because of what his double had done? What he was capable of? Or perhaps it was because Will was constantly in fear himself?

Will wasn't a competitive man by nature, he was happy being the last kid picked in sports at school, but something about the prize the Gods were offering, really captured Will's attention. Maybe, just maybe, if his team won and they were granted a wish, Will could ask Fear to bring Abigail in through the door? That was his driving force in all this, the hope that he could see her again?

So, with that in mind, Will paced his bedroom floor, wracking his brain trying to think of a way to scare people. He didn't want to, but he was going to! As his imagination went overdrive, Will remembered the horrible things he'd seen while wandering barefoot and sleepless in the Silent Hill Zone. That place had an ability to bring your own personal monsters out of the fog. Maybe, just maybe he would be able to show people some of the monsters that haunted his mind? They terrified Will so why wouldn't they terrify others?

Grabbing his coat and making sure Winston was locked in the apartment, Will left a note for Hannibal on the coffee table, explaining where he was but not what he was doing. This way, at least someone he trusted to come rescue him would be able to find him should everything fall apart.

As the fog rolled in and the ash began to fall, Will took a deep breath and stepped forwards. It was such a strange feeling, you'd think it would be like walking over a thresh hold so clear and obvious, but it took a little while before he even realized he'd made it into Silent Hill. The air felt thick and Will could already feel the sensation of something watching him.

It was about five minutes into his wandering that the sirens finally began to call. Will swallowed the lump in his throat and turned his phone on, broadcasting to the network. He wanted to scare people, he wanted them to see the horrors he was about to face. Knowing full well how dangerous it would be, he came armed with the pistol Maketh had given him and two bullets he'd managed to scavenge. Taking a deep breath as everything went dark, he waited and there it was finally, emerging from the darkness and fog.

Clawing free, those eyes, those antlers, that ever-hungry body. Will hadn't expected to see it, he'd thought maybe the Stag or Hobb's himself, but this? No, this was more terrifying than he'd planned. ]

[Bianca applauds.]

I always love a walk in Silent Hill. Could you prop your communicator somewhere? I expect you'll want your hands free for the good part.

[ Not the reaction Will was expecting. He was a little confused by the request but still went along with it anyway. Setting his phone down and propping it up, slowly sidestepping as the Wendigo mocked his movement. ]

The good part?

[ He repeated. Last time he was in the Silent Hill zone, Will had been sleepwalking and wasn't completely aware of what he'd been going to seeing. ]

Yes. You're going to have to fight it, look. It's yours. It came for you.

[ Will turned to face the Wendigo. It was horrendous. He was both amazed and worried that he had been able to manifest with his imagination, something as terrible as this. The Wendigo didn't make a move, not yet. It was more interested in preparation. Carving chunks of the stone wall of a derelict building as it sharpened its talons, ready for a fight. ]

I'm not... I'm not sure I can fight it?... How do you fight yourself?

[She bares her teeth, almost unconsciously.]

To the death, if you can. But that's not easy, is it, dear heart? I could never make it stick.

Mine is ...much less pointed. Than yours. She never attacks me, either. Not physically, at least.

[ Will watched her curiously as he listened. Her mannerisms and behavior were strange. And what was with calling him dear heart? Was it a term or endearment? Did she call everyone that or was a play at the antlers of his Wendigo and the Stag behind him? ]

Doesn't is scare you? ...

[ Turning his phone to face the monster as it made gugrling sounds, like it was hungry. Swiping its talons out towards the device as Will pulled back just in time. ]

It terrifies me... I don't think I could fight it... To the death or otherwise.

Of course not. She's just tedious.

[This is a barefaced lie, and Bianca tells it smoothly. Bianca's personal monster is a withered caricature of her own form, one that shrieks the truths she hides from herself in the foggy streets, and she prefers not to think about it.]

He's very impressive. Do you think he'd kill you?
