“The monster—it calls to me,, Ok the animatic is basically, Finnegan (Lake) found out about this monster—kind of like the Nessie but they’re different— that lives in a lake based on a first hand encounter, and wanted to study it more but needed funding for this,, project or study or something. His friend, Xander (Alexander) is the head of a research department. He attended Finn’s speech, and although Finn is really persuasive and charismatic, he doesn’t have very solid evidence on what he wants to do other than a couple pictures and papers he’s written. This causes skepticism in Xander and therefore doesn’t fund his project. Finn felt betrayed and didn’t understand why Xander would do this. They were close acquaintances for a while and he thought that he could rely on Xander for circumstances like these. Instead of moving on, he was fueled by rage and a greater passion to find this beast, causing him to leave his apartment less and less by researching more every day. He finally made a breakthrough one day when he found runes, specifically vague patterns that occurred on artifacts such as stones or shells that have been pressed onto it. Studying all of them and finding where the objects were found, he noticed that it was located near the same place he encountered the beast, knowing that there was a connection between the two. One day he had a vivid dream of the beast, its low cries echoing throughout the foggy yet heavenly environment he had been placed in. Above the creature’s head lay the same rune, but composed with a dark, murky water. Waking up moments after this—dream of his — his impulsive self thought that if he could etch the same pattern onto his arm, he could potentially lure the beast above the water’s surface where he could document their interaction. Little does he know, he had awaken an entity—one so potent, that it would cause one domino to fall, then another, until whole tower came crashing down, unleashing everything within the core of the earth. Basically Finnegan is an insane researcher (me when I grow up fr) I wish scratch could double space text bcs this is so hard to read ;0;
