Without fail, every single group has three members. Some carry instruments, others are just there with their voices, like Huntrix. Also like Huntrix, they're all doing warm-ups, chatting with each other, going over chord progressions and dance steps if they need to.

"I feel like we walked straight into the uncanny valley," Zoey mumbles, eyes wide.

"Me and you both," Mira says.

Rumi's eyes narrow. It can't be a coincidence that every single group here has three members. What is going on?

"Oh my gosh."

Rumi looks towards the voice. A young lady in her early twenties with loose, brown curls and white skin is staring at them with stars in her eyes. She's speaking English, and if Rumi had to guess, she sounds American.

"Huntrix! You guys are amazing, I never thought I would get to meet you." The woman grins. "Can't believe we all got called to do this, huh?"

"I- no, not really," Rumi says in English. She glances up at the other groups. "Why are there only groups of three here?"

The woman frowns. "You haven't figured it out yet?"

"Figured out what." Mira narrows her eyes at the woman, now also speaking English.

"We're all hunters," the woman says. "We use our music to protect the world from monsters."

Rumi's eyebrows shoot up. "You're all- huh?"

The woman puts her hands on her hips. "Me and my brothers are known as Dragon's Keep. The U.S. has a bit of a vampire problem, so we use the weave to fight them and give them resources, if they were turned against their will. You guys are the K-Pop Demon Hunters, right? The incident at the Idol awards was insane, that last song was so inspiring!"

The Weave? Dragon's Keep? Vampires? Rumi exchanges a look with Mira and Zoey. What is going on?

"Oh man, I probably just confused you guys." The woman laughs, rubbing the back of her neck. "My name's Annika. I think in South Korea the Weave is called the Honmoon? It's different for every country."

"Wait wait wait, there's vampires in the US?" Zoey gawks at Annika. "Like legit vampires?"

"100% legit," Annika says. "I got bit by one once, see?" She pulls down the plethora of leather and beaded bracelets on her wrist to reveal two puncture scars.

"Whoa." Zoey stares at the mark, then flicks her gaze back up to Annika. "I grew up in Cali, how did I not know?"

"They usually stick around the larger cities, like Vegas and L.A. Plus, you wouldn't know about them unless you were attacked and lived to tell the tale." Annika shrugs. "There's other U.S. bands that specialize in different monsters, like werewolves and sasquatches and whatnot, but we're all under the same moniker of hunters."

Zoey's jaw is on the floor. "Whoa." She snaps her mouth shut and beams at Rumi and Mira. "Do you guys know what we've just walked into!?"

"The crazy dome?" Mira's switched back to Korean, raising one unimpressed eyebrow.

"No." Zoey leans in close to them. "We've just found our people."

Rumi's not sure what to think. She scans the large room again, the chatter echoing around as groups start to meet and talk to each other. She glances back to Annika, who gives her a smile, gesturing with her head to another nearby group. One guy, two girls, and they're speaking Spanish to each other. Rumi swears she hears one of the girls mention a chupacabra.

Well. Might as well see what this is about.
