Various macrocosmic variables currently prevent us from establishing contact with Liverlife, however, recent reports that a corridor in the Ancient Labyrinth leads to Liverlife have given ARGO hope that contact can one day be established.

 

Description:

 

The year is 1996.  It is a time of dial-up Internet, video rentals stores, and pogs. The Y-Cases and Larry Singer are on television. Street Food Fighter II is a hit at the arcades. Space Slam is the highest grossest film in the country. Chromamon, the collectible colored monster franchise, takes the nation by storm in a media blitz with a cartoon, action figures, and video games. Burger Teen increasingly gains on its fast-food rivals through the Burger Teen Teen Club.

 

It’s a time of peace and prosperity, a quiet, uneventful time.

 

It is the calm before the storm.

 

Up and down the west coast of the United States, reports

 

Teenager Bally’s life is turned upside down one night when she finds herself chased by a strange dog and later finds that its bitten her schoolmate Bate. Taking Blake back to her house to recover, she discovers that exposure to moonlight causes Blake to glow bright argon blue from her eyes and mouth and then transform into a werewolf, a luminous creature with massive muscles, tree trunk like arms, snapping jaws, thrashing claws, and teeny-tiny teenager legs.

 

The werewolves of Liverlife are very different from the werewolves of our world. The shapeshifters of Occitania don’t glow. Even the tarrasques blessed by the angel Michael with power over fire don’t glow like the werewolves of Liverlife. But though unconventional in form, they possess the conventional strength of werewolves.

 

To make matters even stranger for Blake, her friend Andy ran into something on the way over to help Bally with Blake–that something being a little green alien named Nismo, who due to the collision with Andy’s bicycle developed a case of amnesia.

 

An alien and a werewolf–and shortly after, another werewolf and way more aliens!

 

Guy, Blake’s cousin who years ago left Liverlife, returns to Liverlife and reveals that he is the reason behind the strange happenings up and down the west coast. He was bit by the same dog that bit Blake and can transform into a bright green werewolf just as she can turn into a bright blue one. But ever since his first transformation, he’s been hounded by the same aliens Nismo belongs to, and their brawls have destroyed several diners and small towns. And now he’s brought the aliens to Liverlife…but with another werewolf at his side, with the Space Pack, Guy thinks he can finally defeat the aliens and force them to use their technology to cure him and his cousin!

 

Our ARGO probe is unable to make out the exact physical mechanics behind the transformation, but a lack of odic radiation suggests that it is grounded in physical laws suggesting a technological origin rather than an Astral one.

 

There exists in our reality Fox echoes of the Space Pack in the for of a mid-90’s toyline called Laser Werewolves. These toys greatly resemble the werewolves of Liverlife and this is how Liverlife got the appellation “Laser Werewolf World.”

 

ARGO COMMUNICATION FILE:

 

Oh, I remember the Laser Werewolves! Man they were fun. You had the figures, and then you had these big plastic shells you put over them to transform them, I’d have them fight my old Kingdom Cosmos toys all the time. I’d put the shells over the Cerberean figures and turn them into super wolves…

Contact With The Ancient Labyrinth

 

While we can’t access Liverlife beyond sending an ARGO probe, we have learned that it’s somehow connected to the winding, spatially twisted corridors of the Ancient Labyrinth.

 

Individuals of Note

 

The Space Pack

 

 

After going back-and-forth on what their alien-fighting suburbs-protecting team should be called the group finally settled on Space Pack, because with two werewolves they had a pack, and with Nismo they had an alien from outer space.

 

Bally

 

 

An adventurous girl with a love of pinball, sports, and daytime tv, Bally takes the weirdness happening around her in stride, and is even somewhat grateful for it because its stirred up her sleepy suburbian life. She’s the lynchpin of the Space Pack and the one who carries around Nismo, often disguised as her novelty backpack.

Blake

 

Blake is naturally high-strung, being a middle child who feels she has to compete with her older and younger brothers for attention, and her natural stress was compounded by being bit by a strange dog, cursing her to transform into the werewolf Blue Jaws!

 

Blake is the school’s track star and strongly dislikes having a boy’s name.

Andy

 

Andy is Bally’s close confidant and friend (but not boyfriend!). He’s somewhat forgetful and oblivious, but a hard worker. He matches Bally’s enthusiasm and love of the unusual and strange.

Guy

 

Slightly older than the other members of Space Pack, Guy left Liverlife at a young age to his family’s financial difficulties. When he was bit by a strange dog, he discovered that he could transform into the werewolf Green Claws…and that small green aliens were hunting him down. Guy fled up and down the West Coast of the United States until his travels took him back to Liverlife where he reconnected with his cousin Blake and learned that she to had been transformed into a werewolf. Due to his greater experience as a werewolf, he is something of Blake’s tutor in the finer points of being a werewolf.

 

Though somewhat nostalgic for Liverlife, Guy ultimate isn’t fond of it or any other suburbs. He finds places like Liverlife dull and uninspiring, and looks on recent extraterrestrial shenanigans as something of a blessing. At least its bringing excitement and life to Liverlife.

 

He likes to wear sunglasses at night.

Nismo

 

Formally known as Super Cadet Nismo, Nismo was a member of the aliens pursuing Guy until Andy hit him head-on with his bike giving the little green fellow a short-term headache and a long-term case of amnesia. All that he could remember was that he was alien, his name was Super Cadet Nismo, and that he had the special ability to grow and shrink…a couple of inches in either direction.

 

Nismo approaches the world with a childlike sense of wonder and earnestness. He likes swimming, hamburgers, and being with his friends in the Space Pack. He’s often carried around by Bally who through convenient straps on the back of Nismo’s spacesuit can carry him around in disguise as a novelty backpack.
