User blog:TownofSalemMurders/The Sockpuppets (A sequel to Zed's)

Time: Unknown 

'''Setting: Salem, Massachusetts, Salem Bar. '''

Chapter 1: Aftermath of the Ooga's. 

ZedKiller13 wipes sweat off his forehead. "You sure that was the last of the sock-puppets?" He said, spitting out the last word as if he despised the word's existence. In another place, another time... that would've been a word for child's play. Here, it was another name for criminals. Vandals, revivers, de-railers, the lot. They were unrelentless and unforgiving to even the tiniest mistake.

"Hopefully so" Salem replied. Salem was a newcomer to the Town, but a helpful one. He alerted Zed to most of the new threats, such as Ooga Booga, Ooooooga Booga, PHAT NIBBA, and more. However, there was peace at a cost. A friendly among them, a casualty, Thatsmuggamer. The Wikia deeply mourned his loss...

Suddenly, a man barged in. It was Thatsmuggamer. He had been running, since he was breathing heavily and nearly collapsed. Zed and Salem got up, came on each side of him, and helped him sit on a comfy chair nearby.

"Nearly died out there" Smug groaned. Zed looked at a worried Salem.

"How'd you get out?" Zed inquired, looking back at Smug.

"had to use a damn VPN to get out, hopefully it'll work." Smug replied.

"It won't, especially since they are rallying up again." Salem says.

"How do you know?" Zed replies to Salem, confused.

"I did one of my rounds recently, and I noticed whispers.,. They mostly have been in and around the FG zone, but the weird part is they have randomly generated letters like jndvesckwlskprvstea. Could be to throw us off maybe?"

Zed picks up his ban-hammer. "Time for a mass-ban. Salem, come with me. I need you to be my lookout."

"What about me?" Smug wheezed, physically lifting his head to make eye contact with Zed, wincing horribly.

"You can't even lift your head, what makes you think you're battle-ready?" Zed snapped.

"Sorry Smug, but this one, you can't help" Salem solemnly replies.

Some guy who looked like Satan with a beard, another with a knife and rifle hanging motionless over his green shirt, a small boy with a red shirt that had a 1 on it, who walked everywhere upside-down, some guy cosplaying as a wild west sheriff, a solosis with a top hat, and more.

The truth was, he wanted to stay, but he was slowly losing interest in ToS. He could still be reached on Discord, but his heart was with DRRPS wiki, not with ToS.
