⠀⠀it was a slumber without dreams , without consciousness , without joy , and without pain . it was a strange sensation . an absolute state of peace and emptiness .
@DANCDNCE Once they’re parked, Everett climbs off of the bike - stumbling, a bit, before getting their bearings together. Turning back to him, eyes wide and happy. Excited!! That’s what they’re feeling. So happy!!! They might explode!!
…Someone, somewhere, is watching them. Which is GOOD. SO GOOD!! and also, scary. really scary. because whoever it is hasn’t made themselves known.
chewing on their nails, aggressively enough to make little pops as they break through with their teeth. blood in their mouth.
Gagging - hands clawing at the others’ arm, trying to pull them away until they’re released. Gasping for air, sweating a lot. Scary.
“GHH,,” teeth grinding against teeth. “I don’t like that.”
@DANCDNCE There’s a reason they’re so malnourished. Doordash doesn’t deliver to THE ARK apparently— or inside of Rosswood, for that matter.
They actually felt… Happy? Calm? Their heart pounded. Maybe not that. Maybe, just… A lot. They felt A Lot. Yay.
@DANCDNCE McDonalds! Well, that’s definently within their price range. They hadn’t had McDonald’s in…………. ever? Maybe ever? How long had they been in Rosswood Park?
…Wind in their hair. It’s nice.
HAHA. ha,
staring up at them, eyes wide and unblinking. Then, a smile crept up their lips and - oh they’re doing the thing again. Grinning. “Came back.”
“ACK—!”
Is crushed into the ground. IMMEDIATELY squirming, like a bug. Features pulled into an alarmed, pained expression. Staring up at- oh! It’s Friend. Relaxing… Minutely.
