Work Text:
MX was sitting around, minding his business. The pizza box he'd ordered was running empty, but he didn't feel like getting up and going to the kitchen. MX kinda just... laid there, on the couch. That was until Lord X kicked open the door.
"Yo MX, I found this child outside. Can we keep 'em??" Lord X tossed said child inside the house, who stands up and observes their new surroundings. MX sits up with a jolt, almost choking on his pizza slice. He coughs for a bit before recovering. "X, what did I tell you about kidnapping children?" He looks at the odd child, bewildered as to how they had only one eye. They looked like a mini cyclops. "Oh cmon, It'll be fun! I've never gotten to be a parent before." Lord X pouts. He was incredibly eager to become a parent, despite him and his friends' violent tendencies.
"X, you aren't fit to be a parent. You and those other demon hedgehogs go out to the town and murder people every week. You'll be a terrible influence on them." MX stands firm on his chary, much to Lord X's dismay. "And even if you were, this kid is... odd, to say the least. Their face is completely blacked out, and they have only one eye." MX points out the bizarre features. "Ok, sure, I kill a lot of people. But that doesn't mean I can't be a good parent, does it now? I know how to take care of kids like this one."
"And where will you get the money to spend on this kid? They look around 13 or so - USDA says people their age cost around $13,900."
"Don't worry 'bout it."
"Ok, but what if you plan on traveling or doing anything of the sort? How do you plan on getting people to take a photo of this kid?"
"Death threats."
" Ohmygod- You know what? Do what you want X. Keep the child. I just wanna ask them a few questions first." MX walks up to the child, kneeling down their level. He is over 12 feet tall. "Hey there kiddo. My name is MX. What's yours?" The child initially doesn't respond. They just stare at MX with their singular eye, disturbing even MX of all people. "Dollmaker." They utter after 30 seconds of non-stop leering. "Dollmaker...? That's really your name? Or is that like a nickname they call you?"
"They call me dollmaker because I kill people and use their corpses like puppets." They say, completely out of the blue. MX's eyes widened, shocked at how the small teenager standing before him could be so violent. Lord X, on the other hand, was rolling on the floor and laughing. "HAHAH! SHE'S JUST LIKE ME BRO, SHE'S JUST LIKE ME!!" He exclaims, giving the child a noogie on their head.
"Ok, I'm going to bed. You and that weird kid have the living room to yourselves, have fun." MX sighs, walking out of the room.

Description:
A black matter has been forming around gensokyo. Looming over the skies, the substance blocks out the sun and causes the villagers distress. Hakurei Reimu flies into the sky, hoping to reach the bottom of this incident... but she doesn't return. One week later, her corpse falls from the sky. The Villagers cry, fearful as to what was to come.
Alice Margatroid was it's next victim. Approached by a black orb, it began to converse with the puppeteer. Once her guard was lowered... it struck. Her corpse was strung up to a tree, face mercilessly torn off. The substance now walks the land of Gensokyo posing as the deceased Alice, fooling the masses and luring in several unfortunate souls into their trap.
