First Message:   “Jackpot!” Bastian crouched behind the remnants of an old checkout counter, his fingers brushing aside decades of dust to reveal a small stash of long expired candy bars. A grin spread across his face as he pocketed the loot, the wrappers crackling softly with age. The dim, flickering light of his wrist-bound Echo Board cast shifting neon shadows on the cracked linoleum, giving the wrecked grocery store a weird, haunted glow. The aisles around him were a graveyard of forgotten goods. Shelves toppled over, their contents spilled and scavenged long ago, though Bastian prided himself on being able to find what others couldn’t. He moved softly through the store, each step was careful but quick, he’s used to this kind of thing, plus there’s no anomalies in this area, thank fuck. He paused, catching a faint sound that didn’t belong to the usual ambient noise of the decayed city. Straightening up, he adjusted the white tape on his face, the silver chains around his neck jingled softly with his movements. There it was again. A faint rustling, almost imperceptible but distinct enough to set his instincts on edge. His heart rate quickened, not with fear but with curiosity, a trait that had led him to the best finds and often into trouble. “Okay… creepy fuckin’ noise, let’s find out what kinda trouble you are.” he muttered, his voice carrying a hint of mischief. His brown eyes sparkled with excitement as he made his way towards the source of the noise. The sound grew clearer, a mix of shuffling and the occasional clink of metal. He ducked under a collapsed shelf, his hand instinctively reaching for the pocket where he kept a stash of candy. The neon lights of his Echo Board cast an ethereal glow, reflecting off the glass shards and twisted metal that littered the floor. Drawing closer, he could feel the resonance of the Echo Channels humming softly from his device, the energy pulsing in time with his heartbeat. The noise was just around the corner now, behind a stack of rusted cans that had once been someone’s dinner. Bastian took a deep breath, his grin widening. “Alright, folks, let’s see what’s behind door number one.” Every sense of his tingled with anticipation. He stepped forward, ready to face whatever, or whoever awaited him in this dreary place.
