Description

 
THE HANGED MAN'S MACGUFFIN
THE HANGED MAN'S MACGUFFIN
There is no such thing as fate. It is simply a combination of one circumstance with another.
        
 
Humans aren't the only ones who live in this world. Mysterious man-eating beings, ghouls, exist alongside mankind, and run rampant all around. "Hey did you hear? The police found another half eaten corpse in one of the alleyways this morning." They're dangerous creatures who prey and feed on humans, "Yeah, I heard from my brother that the culprit was a ghoul named Ragdoll."  but their innate ability to imitate humans, is one of the sole reason why they pose as a threat to mankind. "Ehh? Excuse me for interrupting.. but who's ragdoll?" They are able to conceal their true natures behind a mask,  "Haaah? Don't you know? Ragdoll's this ghoul who just appeared out of nowhere and has been hunting like crazy!" and live hidden during everyday life by masquerading and blending in as perfectly functional members of our society."Oh my gosh- hasn't the CCG caught the ghoul yet??" The existence of ghouls, "Nah, they've got no leads. They don't even know whether Ragdoll is a male or female but apparently Ragdoll only targets girls which may mean, you're next, Yooyi! Better watch out, ahahah!", whose true identities remain shrouded in mystery, "Hey, that's not something you should joke about! Besides, if 'ragdoll' were to target anyone from our school, they'd target you!" permanently terrorizes our city's residents.
 
"Now, now, don't get ya' in a knot, I was kidding. Anyway, do you wanna know why Ragdoll was given the name by the CCG? My brother told me that its be-"Because all of the victims of 'Ragdoll' have had their eye sewn wide open and their mouths sewn tightly shut, resembling that of a ragdoll." "Wha- hey! Why'd ya have to steal my line??? That was the best part, man!"
 
An explanation because the author feels as though the description above is really confusing and vague :-(((((((
 
okay, so this fic was inspired by tokyo ghoul, and is also a tokyo ghoul au. the description above was supposed to explain how both humans and ghouls existed in the world, so if you didn't get that while reading the aforementioned, both humans and ghouls exist in the world(that this fic is set in). the things written in italics is supposed to describe the current events that is taking place in the city, also known as seoul(I forgot to mention it above though) so as of present, there is an unknown ghoul, ragdoll, going on an eating spree around seoul. ragdoll basically plays the role of the catalyst and the characters(applicants) who appear will more or less be related to them one way or another. long story short, the ragdoll ordeal will set off a domino effect and that my friends, is what this story will be about. oops, does this count as spoilers??
An author's note because that's what other fics have on their page?? anywho, welcome to my humble abode :-))
 
let me just inform you all now that I am an amateur and this is my first time attempting to write something involving dark themes so I'm not that confident that I will excecute it well or nail it down to a T so please be a lil' lenient. the story probably won't turn out as thrilling as I'd want and planned for it to be, and it won't be up to your expectations either, but I'll still try to write to the best of my ability so let's all have fun writing and reading respectively!
 
warning. this story will contain and mention angst, blood, death, canibalism & many other related topics and genres (which will be poorly written because I'm the author and it can't be helped) but either way, if you don't bode well with any of the aforementioned, it's best if you leave this page for your own safety :-)) 
story inspired by tokyo ghoul, layout credit.
