“The Three Suits Contained Separate Bodies” s5, e4 | Party At The World’s End | Mythpunk Serialized Fiction

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.

Adam Trevino comes home suspended after his run-in with Nyssa over a year previous (the machinations of bureaucracy are slow) and tries to disappear into an ordinary night. Then he hears the message on his answering machine: he’s been appointed a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal and ordered to report at 7:00 a.m. to Room 101. 

On the news, footage from Pennhurst paints Dionysus and Jesus as unstable patients who staged a violent breakout and took a hostage. Trevino watches the broadcast and catches what it leaves out.

In a federal building basement, three near-identical suits lay out the real assignment. They hand him a classified file, tell him Loki is still out, and make it clear the escape is not the whole story. Trevino’s job is to watch, map the connections, and wait for the moment they can cut this budding insurrectionary network at the throat.
