@DISTORTIONARK โNoah?โ
Francine calls out. Nothing.
โNoah??โ
itโs unlike Noah to not reply. Damnโฆ and here sheโd been hoping for an easy day where she could just tune it all out againโฆ
Francine takes a deep breath and goes to investigate the sound.
please be nothingโฆ please be nothingโฆ
@TheSinnerAtlas [ She steps back away from him, pulling tightly on her coat. ]
โฆ. You should rest up, I think. Maybe see if your manager will let you take it easy tomorrowโฆ
[ Hoooooโฆ. Francine lets out a long breath, relaxing her shoulders.
Scary. Real scary, being snuck up on like thatโฆ Ah, wait, howโd someone like this even get on board? ]
โHeyโฆ!โ
[ She waves to the little one uncertainly. ]
โWhen did, uhโฆ how did you get in here..?โ
> TURN ON THE LIGHTS
Upon turning on the lights, you see...
โ...โ
..A small child at the corner of the entrance to the Babel's kitchen. They seem to still be observing you as if you did nothing.
Perhaps you should talk to it.
[>INTERACT]
@SL0THFUL_HERMIT ๐// I know ๐ญ !! Itโs such a shame the game got cannedโฆ they had some fun creative direction. Iโd have loved to see what it couldโve been had it been given more time (and the company not sold out to NFTs of all things)
๐// bit busy so wonโt be doing replies for a bit but. Francineโs home region is heavy based off https://t.co/jIlnZQspSPโs blood tundra so thatโs why Iโm always cmming her w backgrounds like this LOL
@rightdooropened [ Their eyebrows furrow, unhappily. It's hard to tell if they understood Francine's warning. ]
I see..
[ They sniffle. It doesn't seem this ended happily. ]
I'll try..
@LCBenkidu Oh, really?
I used to be more scared of storms when I was little. Itโs.. sort of surprising to hear you enjoyed them even at an early age.
@LCB_Harker Ah, dont get me wrong. Theyโre pretty scary where theyโre near by. But this one sounds kind of far awayโฆ. Thatโs what makes it nice.
The bad parts far away from us.
@Neonrunner1129 โMmhโฆ yeah. I think thatโs kind of how it feels for me too.โ
Francine closes her eyes with a content smile as thunder rumbles in the distance again.
โIโm safe here. From this far awayโฆ the little rumbling it makes as its ending kind of reminds me of a cat purring.โ
