------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The year is 1884, and the world has just been invaded by demons.

Or... so most Americans claim.

Walter Roy Buchanan, aspiring naturalist, instead believes these creatures-- known in his mind as "Neofauna"-- to be far more fascinating than your average demon would be. They wield supernatural powers borne only from their willpower, able to strike down their foes with lightning or conjure up illusions to scare their opponents with, and seem willing to cooperate with humanity... as Walter's electric-sheep companion, Mary, has proven.

Mary is not Walter's only companion, however, as the proper politician Thomas J. Steele can often be found by Mr. Buchanan's side. He's along for the ride temporarily, seeking to make a fortune in Sacramento by cashing out some investments he made during the height of the Californian Gold Rush, but seems fond enough of Walter to offer him a permanent place by his side once that golden money finds its way into his suit's deep pockets.

As of now, the trio reside in Redding, California, temporarily spending half an early-August week in town to heal an injury Buchanan gained on the way there. This healing process is being impeded greatly by the strange influx of poisoned townsfolk taking up the town clinic and their icy reception to Mary's arrival.

In trying to find the source of this unwarranted hostility, Buchanan has just learned of his uncanny resemblance to a group of madmen in New York City who've taken over the Big Apple with creatures like Mary by their side. This group has caused panic in Redding through their constant appearances in newspapers and panic in Walter, with his home state's stability now in doubt, and the townsfolk's sole exposure to these "demons" being negative has only stressed the situation further. So has the invasion of the local mines, turning the already-toxic Iron Mountain Mines into deadly pits of despair...

So responsibility calls for Walter once more, to do as he did in Shenanigan's Gulch-- to help Redding recover from such great attacks and to find out whether New York state and, by proxy, <span class="mu-i">his family</span> has fallen to ruin.
