Tell me if you've heard this one before: Two young men walk into a Dunwich bar.
The first one says to the second one there, "I hope you're having fun."
... except the first one there isn't really there yet, they're both underaged, the other one has a sacrificial knife in his gut - because, why not? - and the bar is really a hospital. Welcome to Whateley, gentleman. The first unit of blood's on the house...
