Well… sort of zombies. But that’s later.

Eh, who’d notice a few extra zombies in London, right?

Breaking into a mausoleum at night in a cemetery. What could go wrong?

It’s a first-person story, so nobody gets the kind of visibility that the main character does. I do make a point to make the villain’s motivations make sense from their perspective (the monologue was “what he was doing was dangerous and needed to be in the right hands”, which is true).

Doing “pawn” in the sense of “cats-paw”. Close enough. The start of the big villain monologue.

If you're a fan of the reluctant hero trope, there are quite a few books you should be looking at in this event! Including mine, of course.

Yes, I used “sign” twice in one sentence. Why you don’t let us edit posts, Bsky?

Always a good sign when you pick up mysterious magical signs in a cemetery at midnight.

You’re not wrong, but it’s important to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If we get a chance to fix things, infighting is going to be the biggest threat.

Yeah, it’s urban fantasy, so a modern setting. And I’ve avoided all the copout tropes that urban fantasy loves to use to explain why they don’t just look stuff up on the web. 😄

To be fair, the favor itself goes fine. It's what comes next that's the problem - it involves London and mages and zombies. Kind of.

Inciting incident…just a favor for a friend, right? Nothing could possibly go wrong with this… right?
