Vlad lets out a soft hum, and looks at the younger kid in front of him sitting there making shadow puppets with his hands. He sits for a moment and appreciate the shadow show. "The worm people you say.." he echoes. He knows about the worm people - most people do down here. Usually it's just stories people tell to their kids, that the worm people would come and kidnap them during the night if they didn't behave.<br/>"They say that the worm people take up resident in Парк Победы*, that the station was cut of from the others shortly after the war, because the tunnel between Парк Победы and Ки́евская* collapsed." He shifts his weight a bit, trying to get somewhat comfortable. His back isn't what it used to be anymore. ”They worship the Great Worm. They say he dug the tunnels we live in – that he is the reason for all life under the surface and the reason that humans are still alive.”<br/>He pokes at the fire with a metal rod, trying to keep it alive. “Children started to disappear from Ки́евская in the night. Nobody knew where, only that they never returned or found any trace of them. People patrolling the tunnels said they heard scratching noises and whispering from inside the walls. Some even claimed they heard children sobbing and found remains of the missing children in the tunnel itself.”<br/><br/>________________<br/>* Park Pobedy<br/>* Kievskaya
