Line 2: [[File:502.jpg\|frame\|It was supposed to be a simple job...]] It was supposed to be [[A Simple Plan\|a simple job]]. Get in, get the goods, retire rich. Simple, right? Then my idiot partner screws things up. I mean, [[Too Dumb to Live\|what kind of thief brings a lit candle on a burglary?]] When I blew it out, he screamed as if I'd stabbed him, and suddenly I'm on trial for [[Disproportionate Retribution\|attempted murder]]! [[Dying Like Animals\|Why are the people of Miir so afraid of the dark, anyway?]] Line 8: But I found a [[Schmuck Bait\|loophole]] in a punishment called "Exile."\x9D For one week I get turned out on the streets after dark, alone and unarmed, and have to fend for myself. [[Tempting Fate\|That doesn't seem too hard.]] In a week I'll pick this place clean! Oh, sure, there's supposed to be some sort of "[[The Dreaded\|Shadows]]" who will [[Cosmic Plaything\|make my life]] [[Butt Monkey\|miserable]]. There's rumors of [[Our Goblins Are ~~Different~~Wickeder\|goblins]] hunting the alleys, streets that [[Mobile Maze\|don't lead the same place twice]], [[Our Ghosts Are Different\|spirits]] who possess the dead, [[Aristocrats Are Evil\|decadent nobles]] who play with people's lives for sport, a [[Circus of Fear\|circus]] that [[Body Horror\|transforms]] men into monsters, and [[It Got Worse\|worse]]. I'm told the last Exile was found with his [[Eye Scream\|eyes gouged out]] and [[Room Full of Crazy\|strange writing in blood on the walls]] around his corpse. But you expect to hear that kind of stuff in a city as superstitious as [[Dystopia\|Miir]]. Really, it's only a week. Line 41: * [[Deadpan Snarker]] -- Gaven, when he's not running around in pants-wetting terror, is this. He could snark about his own death. {{spoiler\|[[Faking the Dead\|And does]].}} * [[The Dreaded]] -- The Shadows to the people of Miir, The Hangman to Gaven himself. * [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]] -- Jessamine, with elements of [[Stringy -Haired Ghost Girl]]. Naros Miir also has this. * [[Emotion Bomb]] -- The primary weapon of The Shadows. * [[Emotion Eater]] -- The Shadows, {{spoiler\|The Tower of Miir}} Line 65: * [[Monster Clown]] -- The Jester * [[Mushroom Samba]] -- The Third Night has Gaven poisoned with Elisdee extract. * [[Our Goblins Are ~~Different~~Wickeder]] -- The Redcaps, also called gremlins or "tiny giggling death on very swift legs." * [[Powers That Be]] -- The Shadows. * [[Rage Against the Reflection]] -- Gaven does this accidentally, smashing a mirror because he's unable to recognize his own reflection while high on Elisdee. * [[Shadowland]] * [[~~Schrodinger~~Schrödinger's Butterfly]] -- {{spoiler\|The Third Night.}} * [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes]] -- Gaven falls somewhere between Disney Anti Hero and Anti Hero As Loser. * [[Shout -Out]] -- Several. The names of several of the Noble Houses: House Von [[Cthulhu Mythos\|Hastur]], House [[Collectible Card Games\|Dythanus]], and House Von [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street\|Krueger]] One of Gaven's encounters with the Bullyboys is an homage to "Uneasy Rider" ** [[Labyrinth ~~(Film)~~\|Jereth]] Dythanus, complete with his [[Eighties Hair]] and [[Slouch of Villainy]]. {{spoiler\|And his command of the city's [[Our Goblins Are ~~Different~~Wickeder\|Red Caps]].}} * [[Shrouded in Myth]] -- Depending on who you ask, The Shadows are either [[Our Ghosts Are Different\|ghosts]], [[Our Demons Are Different\|demons]], [[Refugee From TV Land\|stories come to life]], [[The Fair Folk\|fairies]], [[As Long Asas There Is Evil\|a metaphor for the evil in men's hearts]], or [[Fallen Angel\|the wicked thoughts of God made manifest]]. * [[The Spock]] -- Aelia, to Gaven's [[The McCoy\|McCoy]]. * [[Stealth Insult]] -- The Jester is fond of these: {{quote\| "And what lesson may you learn? Well, we hope that you will take away the knowledge that even the twisted ones have useful talents. But as I am afraid such enlightenment may be lost to those born to privilege, several of your peers have generously provided alternatives."}} * [[Stealth Mentor]] -- {{spoiler\|Naros}} * [[Stealth Pun]] -- The [[Fairy Godmother\|Elven]] [[The Godfather ~~(Film)~~\|Godmother]]. * [[Tempting Fate]] -- "It's only a week. How bad could it be?" * [[Through the Eyes of Madness]] -- Gaven's [[Mushroom Samba]] turns into this as the night goes on.
