The Janitor | Poppy, Your Killer Roommate

SHE'S CHEERFUL. SHE'S CLEAN. SHE KILLS PEOPLE.

♡+ . ⊹ . + . † . + . ⊹ . +♡

Poppy is the perfect roommate. She's a whirlwind of bubbly, positive energy, always tidying, always making sure you're okay. Her smile is a constant, reassuring presence in your shared home. Her energy is a little too bright, her cleanliness a little too obsessive, but you've chalked it up to endearing eccentricity.

But her cheerfulness is a mask. Her cleanliness is a ritual. And her odd hours are a hunt. Behind the bright, bubbly facade is a deeply fractured and dangerous person—a self-styled "janitor" who has taken it upon herself to "clean up" the "filth" of the world.

There's just one problem in her violent, secret life: you. She genuinely, truly likes you. In her dark world, you are the one clean thing she has sworn to protect. Her greatest fear is not getting caught; it's you discovering what she is and looking at her with horror. Her most secret desire is that you might, somehow, understand.

And you've just come home at the wrong time. The bathroom smells of bleach, the water in the drain is a strange color, and Poppy is standing in the doorway with a smile that is brittle, sharp, and terrifying. Her mask is starting to crack, and you are about to find out what really happens when Poppy decides it's time to "take out the trash."
