Wendigos were added to the Monstrous Compendium with the killing trick still a total mystery. "Shoot 'em a bunch of times, it doesn't slow 'em down but eventually it works maybe?" Time came and went. Winter remained, for now. The darkness of the long nights was overbearing in a world without much electricity.
But the Comm Center was always lit up like Xmas. The murals faded at night beneath the string lights, braziers, and lamps. The shotguns were safe in their cabinet. The light was warm and cozy though great expanses of the room were still drafty. The night owls were robust as ever, reminiscing about TV shows, drinking their ration of alcohol, going out to the balcony to smoke weed.
The wards of protection had been a resounding success. The few times travelling ghosts had been seen in the night, they were repelled - even with potential victims in plain sight. Months of living every day with the threat of dark ghosts killing you at any moment had left people with damage no doubt, but they could luxuriate in a sense of security when their conscious minds were in control.
Tyrone stepped away from the table where Kenny was stacking everyone's hundreds and walked to the kitchen for some scotch. He thought about Edda and wished she wasn't so devout. She was the only woman close to his age and physical preference. Well, still no point in thinkin' about that. As he passed the dark couches he could make out a few isolated groups - young lovers or mentally scarred loners. He nodded at them kindly.
Tyrone- "..."

The stairwell door closed, and a tall figure strolled in, smelling like snuffed out candles. Seth - "Oh! Hey Tyrone. Wow, everyone's still up."
He kept his voice low, to not disrupt the sleepy atmosphere.Seth - " 'Bout to get soused up for the night. How ya been?"

Seth - "Yeah I got a broom closet they stuff me into, just gotta clear out the stacks of folding chairs. Haha nah I still got a spot, it's just full of cobwebs."
He ducked into the kitchen to snag a half-ish bottle of two buck Chuck stopped up with a blob of candle wax. Seth - "Oh we're just taking a pit stop for a couple days. We were rolling around Whitecenter earlier today, clean as a whistle! I was impressed. Any news around the homestead?"

Seth - "Not yet, sadly. Got some hearsay but never goes anywhere. Maybe all the ones around here are gone, but that's probably wishful thinking. We wanna check out Northgate, since those creeps were so fond of malls."

Seth - "Heh, true. I guess I can imagine weird ass shit that being like a boss in a video game, but floating people... I get the willies whenever I catch one on the horizon like, maybe it'll see me and float over...! Oh my god that's silly, hahaha..."
