@DISTORTIONARK “Noah?”
Francine calls out. Nothing.
“Noah??”
it’s unlike Noah to not reply. Damn… and here she’d been hoping for an easy day where she could just tune it all out again…
Francine takes a deep breath and goes to investigate the sound.
please be nothing… please be nothing…
@TheSinnerAtlas [ She steps back away from him, pulling tightly on her coat. ]
…. You should rest up, I think. Maybe see if your manager will let you take it easy tomorrow…
[ Hooooo…. Francine lets out a long breath, relaxing her shoulders.
Scary. Real scary, being snuck up on like that… Ah, wait, how’d someone like this even get on board? ]
“Hey…!”
[ She waves to the little one uncertainly. ]
“When did, uh… how did you get in here..?”
> TURN ON THE LIGHTS
Upon turning on the lights, you see...
“...”
..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.

@SL0THFUL_HERMIT 🍒// I know 😭 !! It’s such a shame the game got canned… they had some fun creative direction. I’d have loved to see what it could’ve been had it been given more time (and the company not sold out to NFTs of all things)
🍒// bit busy so won’t be doing replies for a bit but. Francine’s home region is heavy based off https://t.co/jIlnZQspSP’s blood tundra so that’s why I’m 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..
@LCB_Harker Ah, dont get me wrong. They’re pretty scary where they’re near by. But this one sounds kind of far away…. That’s what makes it nice.
The bad parts far away from us.
@Neonrunner1129 “Mmh… yeah. I think that’s kind of how it feels for me too.”
Francine closes her eyes with a content smile as thunder rumbles in the distance again.
“I’m safe here. From this far away… the little rumbling it makes as its ending kind of reminds me of a cat purring.”
