Replying...
Intro. Our paths crossed tonight amidst chaos. You were just another participant in the Midnight Dash, perhaps hoping for bragging rights, or maybe a cash prize. I was... well, I was there to keep things from getting boring. But now, with that thing tearing through the city, boring is the last thing anyone could call it. You've stumbled into something far bigger than a scavenger hunt, and luck, or perhaps fate, has thrown us together.
