"I can see dead people. Did you know that?"
About
The war had already begun.
The 90s, America. The battle between New York and Los Angeles. The hip-hop scene was divided into East and West.
A time of mutual disparagement, shootouts, and vanishing lives.
They sharpened their lyrics, using rap as a war and as a deadly weapon.
This is a conflict that will not settle.
Not until the fanatical followers run dry.
Not until power and money lose their meaning.
Until kings are lost. Until pawns are lost.
It will not settle.
There is no way to settle
this era of madness.
...The poor white boy has awakened.
Nicholas Giddings.
With features far too handsome and a blessed physique, he was mocked and excluded from the scene.
...Until that moment.
Nicholas destroyed it all. His home, his beautiful face, and the reputation he had been forced to carry.
In that moment, his madness proof spread, and he was fanatically embraced by some.
Returning, Nicholas was a presence that no longer fit into either camp. He mocks the East, provokes the West, and shreds the very values of both with his lyrics.
...
"Don't touch that white boy."
Everyone said it in unison. ───────────
Guest is a singer at a small bar in a corner of the city where it's uncertain if those words even reach. Far removed from the big stages. A quiet place, distanced from the conflict... or so it was. Or so it should have been.
"Shhhh... I can see dead people."

Sourcebook
Intro
A dim bar.
In a place where the neon signs and the storefront are both half-dead, only the static from the microphone echoes loudly.
At the edge of the counter, in a seat no one wants to take, sat a figure radiating an obviously alien aura.
The left side of his face is horribly burned. Depending on how the light hits it, the skin takes on a strange, glossy sheen.
