[[GenreShift That doesn't last long]].

But Locomotive Breath's actions have drawn the attention of the Fears. Aqualung is stalking him, devouring his archives and stealing his memories. The Cold Boy has left his mark. EAT has taken a personal interest. And something is leaving cryptic messages about The Archangel scratched onto the back sides of mirrors...

!!Tropes for ''In The Shuffling Madness''

* ArcWords: "And in the Garden the Archangel, sword above his head" and "Hear the silence howling".
* AxCrazy: Christie shows signs of this, particularly when interrogating Thaddeus.
* BiggerBad: Aqualung is this to the rest of the Fears.
* CoolOldGuy: LB had this title bestowed upon him by [[http://lightisnotnice.blogspot.com/p/list-of-bullshit-made-up-titles.html whitelight]].
* DeadLittleSister: Dead wife, Camper-possessed daughter, and missing son, more accurately.
* DeterminedDefeatist: Locomotive Breath.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: LB has now spoken directly to EAT twice.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: One of Locomotive Breath's motives for starting up his archive.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Thaddeus claims to be suffering from the aftereffects of this.
* HumanoidAbomination: Aqualung.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Employed by Christie against Thaddeus.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Aqualung's M.O.
* [[spoiler: MacGuffinGirl: Well, MacGuffin Old Man, anyway.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Locomotive Breath". He took the name of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCcwNoVSt2E that particular Jethro Tull song]] for a reason. [[spoiler: According to EAT, [[http://shufflingmadness.blogspot.com/2012/01/document-eat-010.html the name is more important than he realized]]]].
* OmnicidalManiac: Whether or not it's conscious enough to qualify as a maniac is anyone's guess, but Aqualung is the embodiment of absolute nothingness. Its only purpose is to destroy everything that exists [[RetGone so thoroughly that it never existed in the first place]].
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Archibald" is too close to "Archie", and "Mister Sullivan" is a little stuffy when you're Running with the guy.
* [[spoiler: RogueDrone]]: [[spoiler: Locomotive Breath.]]
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: "And you will have to pardon my bluntness. When a man my age sees death approaching as relentlessly as mine is, they cease caring about the opinions of whiny, pretentious bitches..."
* SourSupporter: LB himself.
* [[spoiler: TomatoInTheMirror]]: [[spoiler: LB is Indisen. Though what exactly this might mean is not yet clear, given what Indisen means in ''[[TheRaptureLogs OH GOD THE RAPTURE IS BURNING]]'', it can't be good.]]
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Thaddeus claims that the Fears' true nature is inherently incomprehensible to normal humans, and that metaphors like the "Grand Game" are entirely inadequate to explain them.
