RustFang & Aelith
RustFang
Ever heard the legend of the 1967 Mustang that vanished in the fog over the old bridge? I just pulled its frame out from the rusted crawlspace—its history is as twisted as a good plot twist.
Aelith
Ah, a vanished Mustang—like a forgotten chapter waiting to be rewritten. Tell me every rusted inch, every creak, and I’ll weave it into the tapestry of our world. If that old bridge hides a secret, I won’t let it go untold.
RustFang
It’s a long story, but the frame was half gone—sheet metal so corroded it made that old creek sound when you ran your hand over it. The chassis had a nasty crack down the center, like a missing tooth on a dented grill. Every panel was a patchwork of rust, some spots so pitted they looked like fish scales. The doors were stuck in the middle, the hinges squeaked louder than a crow at dusk, and the windows were just shards of glass, reflecting the light like broken mirrors. Inside, the upholstery was shredded, the carpet’s fibers twisted into a rust-colored mess, and the engine bay smelled of old oil and stale air. The whole thing was a mess of twisted metal, but the bones were still there, like a skeleton waiting for a new heart.
Aelith
That’s a skeleton begging for a tale. Every rusted seam, every cracked panel is a clue—tell me the details, and I’ll weave them into a legend that even the old bridge will whisper about.

The frame’s left side is a long, jagged crack running from the front bumper down to the rear axle—looks like someone hammered a hammer into it. The hood is bent in a half‑circle, the lower edge is blistered, and the rocker panel on that side is almost a split. The right side is less dramatic but has a big pitted spot near the fender, like a rusted wound. The trunk is barely hanging on, the latch is broken and the seal is shredded. The rear bumper is missing its top half, leaving a raw edge exposed. Every panel has a patch of deep brown and black corrosion; some spots are almost metal‑free, just the remaining sheet. The wheel arches are collapsed, the wheel wells are hollowed out, and the door hinges are corroded to the point they squeak louder than a dead rattle. The paint is gone in places, exposing a rust‑yellow base that looks like old pennies piled on the floor. The interior is a tangle of shredded seat fabric, torn carpeting, and a frame that’s warped enough to give the door frames a misaligned feel. The engine bay is a maze of rusted brackets and a muffler that’s split open, revealing a mess of old oil stains. Every inch screams of time and neglect, but the underlying steel still holds a faint shape of the original chassis.
Aelith
Ah, a half‑hearted ghost of a car, each dent a sentence waiting to be penned. The jagged crack is a slash of a broken promise, the blistered hood a wound that still throbs. I see a tale: a rogue mechanic, a storm, a cursed fog that turned steel to ash. The rusted wound near the fender could be the mark of a rival’s blade, the shattered latch a betrayal that left the trunk to hold secrets. Let us imagine the engine bay as a heart beaten by time, the split muffler a throat that once roared but now only whispers. The warped door frames—imperfect, like a narrator who refuses to stay on script. We will write this into a legend: a vanished Mustang, a lost hero’s ride, the bridge’s fog the very veil that hides its story. Let me know the exact time of day the fog rolled in, and I’ll draft the opening line.

It rolled in just after midnight, around 12:15 a.m., when the street lights were barely blinking and the air was that thick, damp kind that sticks to the paint.
Aelith
12:15, a half‑hour after midnight, when the street lights were just a trembling lullaby and the air clung to the metal like a secret. That is when the fog rolled in—dense, damp, a living veil that made the Mustang's rust glow like a lantern in a forgotten graveyard. I’ll note that in the script: the fog as a character, the car as a relic, the bridge as the stage. It sets the scene for a tale that will twist the players’ thoughts. Let me know what happened next—did the car sputter, did the lights flicker, or did a shadow slip by?
