Charlie — LC:SD #12

☀️ ┇ I woke up one day and the〔 Light 〕was gone . This is how my story begins .

@LACKLUSTERDECAY her. ]

Here. Want to borrow this for a bit?

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@LACKLUSTERDECAY not a surprise when it comes to Lacey, and they do not wish to overstep her boundaries. But, without fail, each and every time they still wish to help her.

So, after a brief pause, they tug at the hoodie around their neck to loosen its knot before holding it up in front of—

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@LACKLUSTERDECAY to remain within sight for the both of them. They aren’t lying. A rather silly video plays back. Another random post by another random citizen. Nothing of particular importance. Even still, no hints of anger ever cross their tone. ]

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@LACKLUSTERDECAY [ But they catch her staring anyway, for their eyes remain on her, or perhaps because they had simply expected her curiosity. Yet, instead of wrath and ferocity, a friendly chuckle reaches her ears. ]

Pfft— it’s just a silly video.

[ Charlie tilts their screen enough for it—

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@Raincandy_05E their ears with a piercing shriek. Like the others, she joins the masses as they take a step back. ]

Did that sound like someone who wants to be here to you?

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

on nothing but themself.

Their stomach drops as they double over, the sudden wish to retch rushing up their throat before— nothing. Lavender reaches their senses. It calms them. It should not calm them. Why does this sickening scene brush against their cheek with such a—

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@Raincandy_05E silent, snaps back to reality. Their hands, which found themselves clutching their head, drop back to their side.

This is different. ]

Paradise?

[ Charlie speaks with a scoff. ]

Don’t be fucking ridiculous.

[ Another Ame descends before them, her scream rending through—

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@LACKLUSTERDECAY sitting. It’s an unspoken offering to give her company, something they did quite often. ]

Hey, Lacey.

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

@LACKLUSTERDECAY [ Charlie had been staring into the dimly lit screen of their own phone, eyes looking off distractedly into the display before feeling a tug at their sleeve. ]

Hm?

[ Their gaze snaps back to focus, drifting to look at the other as they pat the space beside where they were—

[𝓀anade! @malevolentmauve]

is it really worth it ?

Sayori's Nightly relief

painting, framed by gilded wood instead of leaking into their reality.

As they trudge through the morass of flowers, they feel the hairs on their neck stand. Every grin stretches wider before them, every eye, even when covered in vegetation, feeling as though it were trained—

heat. A squelch accompanies each step, yet their feet still drag them forward. Closer and closer. Further and further towards the center.

She’s here. Ame’s here. Not one, no, but thousands upon thousands of her. A myriad of bodies stretches as far as their peripheral vision—

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

grants, rotting flesh giving themselves to the blossoming earth. Colours blur the line between beauty and gore, trees shift in and out between a red and pink hue. The grotesque scene before them feels unreal, something that ought to remain within the confines of a macabre—

[Charlie — LC:SD #12 @TheLightVanish]

[ Who knew paradise can be so vile?

Charlie cannot quite recall how they found themself in this foreign realm. Their mind often finds itself lost, wandering, and them wandering with it.

Their vision blurs, causing the world to shift in and out like a mirage against the desert—

[Ame | LCSD Victim 4 @Raincandy_05E]

Take in the sight of our new paradise, and approach carefully. For behind that tree waits somewhere there for you. To take you to your new Eden.

She's smiling at you. She's proud of you.

Bless.
