[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

that's good . y' can come closer , that's fine .

not stopping any time soon .

[ she smiles at them . it's soft . continuing .

strum , hum , strum, hum ... ]

[MASK Y @FEEDTHEARK]

Nodding, the music. Yes.

The music. Slowly sliding closer. The music.

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ that's nice ... she's smiling , checking on them every once in a while .

the song finishes , so now she's just strumming random melodies that come to mind . ]

you like it .ᐣ the music .

[MASK Y @FEEDTHEARK]

Soothing. It brings them to the ground, laying on the soft grass.

Sunbathing, almost.

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she's simply playing . a song , one she made herself .

there's no lyrics yet , just hums and strumming . ]

[MASK Y @FEEDTHEARK]

they crouch,
watching. a guitar.

She’d like to see what she’s doing. Hm.

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

guess that's a no ...
well — I don't mind y' being here , I just —

[ sitting on the ground — a good distance away . ]

'm just gonna ... play my guitar . I don't wanna stop you from , whatever it is you're doin' .

[MASK Y @FEEDTHEARK]

Can she help them? They turn.

Eyes shiny. Hm. Shaking their head.

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ oh .ᐟ that's — that's new . she was just about to play her guitar and now there's someone at her ( semi - permanent ) home . ]

... can I help you — .ᐣ.ᐣ

[MASK Y @FEEDTHEARK]

@singinglightss .

Sniffing around her backyard.

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

.✦ ݁˖ | i add eva in for one day and somehow , darkiplier falls in love with her .

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she's not 100% sure on what's happening — but she trusts her , somehow .

so , she closes her eyes , a slight squeeze of her hands . ]

[ꩇׁׅ݊ꪮꪮꪀ ⏾ ϐׁׅ֒ꫀꪖꪑ @missmcgic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀﹙ gently taking her hands , holding onto them . ﹚

now , close your eyes .

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀﹙ she's done this before and it worked , , , hoping it'll work this time . ﹚

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she tilts her head , looking at her hands , and then her .

she's a bit confused , but curious , smiling right back . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

I usually do that — only because I don't have much to numb it .

I'd do what you do , but —

[ she puts her hand out — and a small fire comes from it . ]

I'd end up burnin' myself . that's why its different .

[⚡️~ＦＩＸ ＯＮ! ~⚡️ @GoldenBoySpark]

"I figured as much since you were just- rawdogging the needle like that. Even then, I assume you'd just- wanna get it over with instead."

He replied, chuckling softly as he crossed his arms.

"You can, huh? Well- I am curious as to *how* different, y'know?"

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she's not gonna tell him she peaked at it — yet . maybe later , but definitely not this moment . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she just kinda — stepped over that body , honestly . she felt bad but — something in her also told her she shouldn't . ]

just these —

[ she shows the files in her hands to him . ]

I just took whatever had the name ' project halcyon ' on it .

[the mask . @thcfaceless]

++ made his way back down . ]

whatcha got ?

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

's cool you can do that , y'know . I can too , but — its a bit different .

[ she if she could do what he did , she would have done that a while ago . pulling the needle out of herself and tossing it in the trash as she talked . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she watched him — the heat was helping , a relaxing sensation filled her muscle . ]

well , duh — but ... thanks . that helps a lot .

[ she smiles at him softly , injecting herself right on the spot , with a sigh . ]

definitely helps with the pain ...

[⚡️~ＦＩＸ ＯＮ! ~⚡️ @GoldenBoySpark]

"Trust, if I didn't want to help, I wouldn't be asking...(💧)"

He commented, hovering his hand over the area she was trying to inject herself in as heat emitted from his hands in attempt to relax the muscle

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

no point in checking to see if the other rooms had anything — she figures this was all she needed .

soon , she made her way to the staircase too meet him — hopefully she wasn't too late . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ It was something — most of this stuff she figured as much .

portals and such , but — dangerous .ᐣ he couldn't be — she knew what danger was .

... right .ᐣ

no time to think on it now — she scooped up the files she had gotten , rushing out of the office .

[the mask . @thcfaceless]

++

[ it made mention of the mam being dangerous -- that he needed to be caught and contained as soon as possible . ]

[ of course , this being a smaller research station , there was not a whole lot in terms of useful information -- but it was definitely something . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

oh .ᐟ ah — sure , if y' really wanna help .ᐟ

[⚡️~ＦＩＸ ＯＮ! ~⚡️ @GoldenBoySpark]

"Do you need help? I certainly got an idea!"

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

she finds a few folders on the project .

she stares at it for a few seconds , in her hands . she shouldn't look — it's not her business .

but ... maybe , a little peak wouldn't hurt . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

[ she heard the tumble of the other guy down the stairs — honestly it spooked her for a moment .

but hey — pretty cool he could just take a guy down like that .

back to the rooms , she figured the best way to find anything on the project was he office .

+

[the mask . @thcfaceless]

++

[ the office space had two seats and a decent sized filing cabinet against the wall . the computers were both locked -- and so was the filing cabinet , but that one could probably be picked . ]

[𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 . @singinglightss]

so , she decides to check there first . ]

locked ...

[ at least she's good with picking locks for the cabinets — she gets them open using her pen she always used for writing .

comes in handy .

searching through each cabinet —
