IC: A View of the Water [Jean Ross]

There are things that exist outside the range of human perceptions; things known only to those terrible beings who dwell between the stars and beneath the earth. We have always passed by them without notice. They have always extended us the same courtesy. And those unfortunate few who have seen, and have been seen? We call them mad.

But they have merely awakened a higher form of sight.

It is the Spring of 1928 in Arkham. And people all over Southside are waking up, setting the stage for the rise of an ancient power.

They're all clearly gathered around one person - a man sitting on the grass, his head turned away from her. The assessment of "crazy" is likely correct - he's wearing a torn, broken straitjacket.

I'm a smooth criminal and a neurotic lawyer with a crush on a pretty-boy author, and I'm being controlled by my creepy older brother (twice!) while I worry about not having a can opener.

Now that Dutch is gone, Jean finds herself standing next to an overturned trash can on an empty street.

Well, empty isn't the right word. The scene is littered with all sorts of garbage.

Feet together, elbows tucked in, hands clasped under her chin, Jean twists her body round, looking at the garbage.

It's an assortment of disgusting household garbage, with no distinguishing features other than the fact that someone threw away a perfectly good piece of pie.

Well, it was perfectly good.

Jean coughs "ahem," and kicks the piece of pie with the toe of her shoe.

The pie splats against a garden trowel lying among the garbage.

Up the street, outside the University, Jean can see the silhouette of a large vehicle - the ambulance?

Jean performs a gliding motion with her foot, wiping any pastry off of her toe upon the grass. She straightens the strap of her bag, and then proceeds to the ambulance.

There are two new additions to the crowd: the uniformed driver and passenger of the ambulance.
