Exhibit B: Midnight Eclipse, Alozec's known accomplice

Slowly unlocking the bolted door, Alozec gracefully opened it...

After exposing her eyes to the bright world again, she immediately flinched from the sun's reflection on her best friend's sunglasses.

It was one of Alozec's best friends, Midnight, who didn't look so surprised to see her good pal as much as Alo did.

"Middy, baby--What're doing so early? I thought you were visiting later, tonight."

Alozec asked, unnervingly; embarrassed about her guilty pleasures that Midnight just interrupted.

"You okay? You seem... I dunno,  uneas--."

Alozec immediately interrupted Midnight, in an attempt to avoid suspicion of her secret.


"I'm fine, OK? Now, are you just gonna stand there, or are you coming inside?"

Midnight nodded assuringly as she entered Alozec's abode.

Skipping any short-trip tours of her house, Alozec immediately showed Midnight towards her living room, offering her to take a seat whilst she grabbed some beverages.

"Hey, Middy! I'm just gonna grab some ice from the basement; 'Shan't be long, sugar."

Shrugging her shoulders, Midnight rolled her eyes in impatience, and instead paid more attention toward a small stack of magazines on the coffee table.

Back in the basement, Alozec quickly got to work, immediately reopening the fragile box, scooping up a relatively large amount of human life into two small, empty salt shakers... Only to hide them in her back pocket.

Quickly returning towards the kitchen, Alozec started to work on the drinks, grabbing a few apparatuses and utensils; you see, this wasn't just any random drink, it was a smoothie, to be precise.

First came the juice: this was the easiest step,  requiring only a simple pour of pineapple juice, filling half of the shaker's contents.

Next, a secret ingredient... Humans.
Alozec began to giggle at the thought of what she was gonna do, it was just too good

For the people who didn't drown in the citric mix, they were about to be pulverised by something even worse--The next ingredient.

Alozec took out a few samples of pre-prepared fruit and fresh ice from the refrigerator, and carelessly dropped them into the brew.

Rubbing their burning eyes, the humans below couldn't even see what was happening--Much less avoid the meteor-sized fruit and ice that shadowed over them, until it was too late.

Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and finally the ice, all rained down onto them... Only a small few were lucky enough not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But, when their world of the smoothie container lifted into the air with a soft, maroon glow--their fate was sealed, there was no way to avoid what was coming next.

Slowly levitating the jug onto the smoothie mixer, Alozec couldn't help but mimic their deafened screams as she leaned inwards towards them.

"Oh, no! Please, help... The nasty unicorn's gonna kill me!"

It was too much for her, Alozec loved pushing her own limits with these humans; if there was anything more sinister, she'd instantly step her game up. Soon, her mimics transformed into giggles and laughter--Tears of joy formed from her eyes, forcing her to stop for a brief second as she calmed down.

She violently slammed her hoof down onto the 'Mix' button, and like clockwork, it began mixing the 'not-so-innocent' fruity beverage.

The lives of many were reflected in Alozec's eyes as she willingly gazed into the limbo of her own lust.

"Who the hell are you talking to?"

Speechless for an explanation, Alozec turned her head around the corner from the living room.

"I was just, Uh, reciting a quote for a story I'm working on."

Returning towards the kitchen, Alozec made clear efforts to maximise privacy; this time closing the door in advance as she looked back at the pink-coloured concoction in front of her.

Now for the extra little toppings... She thought to herself, shifting one of her eyebrows towards her back pocket, grabbing the half-empty micro shaker from inside it.

Meanwhile, Midnight was getting bored from waiting, and she was getting more exhausted as the time ticked away. It didn't take much to make her eyes slowly close, and even more effort to open them. Eventually she was too tired and relaxed to care anymore, passing out into power nap on the couch.


Alozec finally finished up in the kitchen, returning to Middy with two tall, fresh smoothies in her magical grasp, placing them on the coffee table next to her now-sleeping friend.

The scenario was near-perfect: Midnight was asleep, and Alo still had a few unused 'specimens' to dispose of.

Carefully trying not to wake her, Alozec got the shaker.

As the minutes went on, more tiny humans were scattering everywhere around Midnight, including the couch, the floor and her drink.
