...high-rises you happen to be sitting in the midst of shades a path outside of the breaking dawn's light. The immediate threat having passed, your features return to their normal, angular structure. Your jaw aches, objecting to having been unhinged so violently during the transformation. A familiar pain; comforting in a way. You'll never get used to it, but the return to a semblance of normalcy after the change is always reassuring

A doorway two rooftops over has a familiar air about it — seems as though you've been here before. You leap from one rooftop to the next, making your way to the door.

A sense of déjà-vu shocks you as you make the final leap and a stray ray of sunlight hits your left hand. You hiss in mid-air and land just yards from the door, stumbling as you cradle your injured extremity. Black, greasy smoke emanates from the wound, and you wince as you bite back a curse.

Gunshots, I can handle. But sunlight...

Throw caution to the wind and enter the doorway. You need to get back into darkness — now.

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
