Gonna write some more stuff soon

Introducing a character to the paranormal can be a really cool scene and it can lead to some compelling consequences and challenges, but it’s also hard to do on the fly. Part of the intrigue inherent to pulling back the curtain, so to speak, is that different people will react in very different ways. This makes for a diverse range of possible consequences as well as a way to reveal more about a character through their actions. However, this diversity also makes it hard to discern reactions on the fly, especially for characters that have just recently been introduced. Characters having to explain things on the fly to an innocent bystander endangered by the monster they’re hunting is really cool, but thinking up how the bystander reacts to this information off the top of your head is really d
