y'know . the cool decked out chevy ?

ah - that's unimportant . need more focus on the margs .

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 (PARODY) @DREADMISTRESS__]

Bozo brothers with the haircuts..?

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" chances are , i'll hear 'im comin' . "

he's getting pretty good at this hunting business. and if that damn book *did have anything to do with ol' boogeyman, he's sure it'd *warn him.

" don't let the pretty jawline fool ya , missy . i ain't met a scrap i can't saw through . "

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

I can get to your line..

it's more time to get to me. I'll do the best I can to not freak out or anything.. or, you know. I could just run there, but he drives, so aha- that's .. something. "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" sure . haddonfield seems pretty uh . . . " the man eyes left to right. dead silence, deafening.

" cozy . "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

excellent point, something the numbskull did *not think about. he's a man out of place, possibly out of time.

" uh . didn't get that far . look , inflations kind to me , I'll get a crappy motel across the way . " he shrugs, as if it was so simple to figure out.

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

and attempt to make me the upcoming season's porch display? I don't think the first thought would be using the phone in my own house if he's there, unless it's at a neighbor's house, if they decide to think it's not a prank. "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

ash isn't ready to drag any others into this mess. definitely not qualified to babysit, either.

" how's about we uh — keep in touch . 'case that bastard manages to crawl outta whatever sewer pipe he's hiding in . good deal ? "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" I'd ease up on the courage there , laur' . sounds like your plate is plenty full . "

when she puts it like that, he almost looks like he can't believe himself. " dunno if its the reason for that but . hell , good a guess as any . "

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

I don't know what to do from here, sounds nuts! But.. I'll try to help you find this creepy book you speak of. "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" this book , it's made of human flesh . contains evil you couldn't even dream of . and for some reason , me and *it got some connection , and it keeps yankin' me from place to place . so . . . here i am . for what , where , hell if i know . "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" hey , i ain't a scientist , i'm just puttin' pieces together . " he's throwing shit at a wall, hoping it sticks. but the damn book didn't have rhyme or reason, just chaos.

" you're talkin' to a guy luggin' a chainsaw for a hand about a guy who exploded and walked it off . "

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

" No, that man wasn't human... that was the Boogeyman. " She shook her head speaking with a matter of fact tone of voice.
She knew a little about him just from Dr Loomis explaining to her, his name, how evil his was.. it was only fair he did because well.. what else are you

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

ash shrugs, not exactly looking too *afraid of the situation he may be in the middle of.

" been through my share o'shit too , lady . plenty of monsters and freaks that won't die so easy either . " the man lifts the chainsaw again. " hence the hardware . "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

whatever the case, guess now isn't the worst time to ask.

" hey - i know we're gushin' about tall , dark , and terminator . but you ain't seen a book with a creepy face 'round these parts , have ya ? this all seems a little... too connected , y'know what i'm sayin' ? "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

christ, this guy really was a walking tank. or a deadite?

" you sure this guy was human ? soundin' a little too familiar for my comfort . " now, ash is having doubts he's in the wrong world at all. maybe the book just shot him up north for the colder air.

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

" He fell from a second story window.. was shot six times.. and he just walked away.. like nothing happened.. I stabbed him in his eye, his side and his neck. He just... Kept getting up. "

A pause as she combed the painful memory.

" all I remember was hearing his doctor

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

ash lost that jovial tone he carries as confidently as his chainsaw.

" sorry you went through that . " maybe this sorry S.O.B happened to be the key to why ash ended up here.

" so, this masked guy, still runnin' loose ? "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

well.

loaded as it was, he shows some kind of empathy for the moment. hard thing to go through, and not very unlike something close to what he's gone through.

" lady , I seen some boogeymen in my day. hard as they are to kill, y'find a way. "

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

" Sorry- it's just not exactly something you see around here. "

Laurie went quiet, glancing away from the other..

" No.. well.. yes.. but... " She's picking at the sleeves of her cardigan now.

" He didn't die.. you can't kill the Boogeyman.. "

She chewed the inside of her

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

/ ash u clueless badass ily

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

he takes his hand back with a puzzled look. quiet, eery, like people hid rather than relaxed in their homes.

" someone get shot ? "

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" don't gotta judge a fellow so harsh over his choice of prosthetics now , laur'. "

he feels some odd sense here. like evil had followed him, or, maybe it just was thick with it before he had even arrived.

" place seems kinda dead . "

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

" Mm. " Was he new around here? As of late nobody really stuck around after the events of Halloween.. perhaps he's not aware of the masked psychopath wandering around God knows where.

Then again it was everywhere, wanted signs, Newspaper clippings..

" Laurie. " She stares at

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

he extends his good hand for a courteous shake.

[𝑯𝑨𝑰𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 , 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀 @SLASHINASH]

" haddonfield . right . "

he's doing mental gymnastics to figure out what state that is. and looking around to get an idea of what *year it is.

" handsome mug like this is bound to get some stares . chainsaw just gives the extra shine . ash , by the way . "

[Ｌ． Ｓｔｒｏｄｅ @sclesurvivcr]

" Dunno. I honestly assumed it was one of those... costume pieces people wear at those comic conversations. "

Eyebrow raise.

" Well... You're in Haddonfield. It's a surprise other people haven't noticed you. It's a small town, word travels fast around here. "
