Silica
Still pissed off from before I sit on the driver's side like I see them do, put my hands on the wheel and look out the glass. I lean way down to one side to look under, yeah... they use their feet a lot. I push the pedals a couple times whic…
Silica
I lean there against the cool cab of the truck. Well, I was gonna just sit there and mope until everyone was finished but the flatbed smells of fresh blood and I'm not patient enough to sit still that long. Glancing back towards Hadden and …
Silica
She keeps her distance, makes me feel a little surer of myself, I lower my foot to the ground. My mouth moves a little bit and I kind of look at her like I'm trying to say some smart ass thing but can't get the words together, "I... you..."
…
Silica
She approaches and that makes me nervous, I'm not exactly in the best state of mind here. I'm lookin' her in the face though, trying not to get spooked again. Kinship? I don't fuckin' feel it.
"You don't know what I got," I shake my head sl…
Silica
Takes me a few seconds to decide if I even want to say anything more but I gotta, "whattya talkin' about? What the..." I gesture at Melancholy, "she say she wanna take my fuckin blood or some crazy shit..."
Silica
Yeah, of course Rosie doesn't think I got hurt, wouldn't give a shit if I was... but somewhere in the corner of my brain I did hear my sister telling her to leg go of me... didn't I? Or did I... imagine that too.
Hadden walks past on the wa…
Silica
Hard not to be skeptical at what Bond is saying, I just quietly complain, "yeah... a little..." And the fact that she's telling Rosie to take care of me is not what I want to hear. But other than that I keep my mouth shut and mostly keep gl…
Silica
I start out almost yelling, "Yeah it..." but Bond is bein' all nice about it and my tone drops, quiet like, "it... doesn't fuckin hurt."
I clench my hands at my sides and look at Rosie shootin' me looks and Hadden mopin' around looking sud…
Silica
My eyes are on Hadden until he speaks, and then its like some kind of spell breaks... and Hadden is there asking a very ordinary old bitch a very ordinary question. And my sister's there... ok that's way not ordinary, but she's saying very o…
Silica
The greenish snow hangs in the air around us, my eyes locked onto Hadden's as time seems for a moment to slow... the monster which grabbed me shows her true colors, though and I recoil from her, shaking my head as a press my back again the c…
Silica
The bitch has me, what's wrong with her.... her fucking face! Shit... I pull at my arm, pull and scream at her, "fuckin' let me go you piece of shit!" I barely listen to what she's saying... the blinding storm inside my head is closing in on…
Silica
Makes me cry out, a frightened yelp.
The fear in my head ust be getting to me, you know... I'm freaked out here already and it's like she's got the face of a dead thing... an echo of the skeleton I spoke to just before.
In panic I pull bac…
Silica
This is not helping, the graveyard, the fuckin skull face and now creepy lady. I'm on edge all right, kind of holding myself as I walk further in. I'm half-listening to what the others are saying as I approach Melancholy.
Again I answer in …
Silica
She's getting all creepy on me, this old bitch.
I do take a couple steps in but I'm not playing along. I point over at Jester with an extended arm and kind of hiss-whisper, "that's not my deal, ok? I got nothin' to do with that shit..."
Silica
I've shoved the stuff in my pack, clicking the flashlight a couple times to see if it has any juice (likely not) before hurrying over to the mausoleum turned family home.
And yeah, standing just outside, one hand on the cold stone wall, my …
I found some stuffs!
You find the following in a small pouch in his pants pocket:
- A small yellow flashlight
- A multi tool
- Small crescent wrench
- A center punch. Wrapped with tape for ease of use with a gloved hand
- A yellow crayon inside a ci…
Silica
I stare at the guy, "you know... fuck you... stop lookin' at me," I glance at the others, about to open the place up and shove at the soldiers head with the heel of my shoe. Just to stop his fuckin' stare.
(Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 2, 4. Total…
Silica
Little creeped out walking through the graveyard. Yeah, for no fucking reason, but I can't help but think why they buried 'em all in clothes... probably in case they wake back up.
"Hey look at this..." I say weakly, they may not even hear..…
Silica
Jester doesn't look great. Well, he's not in pain, that much is obvious, so... yeah i did good.
I hop out of the truck, they come over and get him, didn't ask... I didn't offer either. Whatever... but this place is kinda creepy. Once I got …
Silica
Just a little note:
I spend the rest of the trip, back up against the cab of the truck. I'm watching Jester, kind of. End up with the back of my fingers against the side of his forehead, just to make sure he's allright. But it's under the b…
Silica
I pause as he looks, relfexively look towards the window to see if anyone's watching. Then back to him, I quietly say "make ya hurt less." I nod my head a couple times sort of asking for him to say go ahead... people don't trust me. He proba…
Silica
Fuck it.
Sitting there looking at the painful grimace on Jester's face I pull my backpack onto my lap and fish out the little mini-syringe of pain meds I got for Footie. Don't know when I'll see her again anyway... I get up on my knees and…
Silica
Rossie doesn't bother me, I do... fuck I shouldn't of said that... but you know, heat of the moment shit, tryin' to be funny. Rossi just fuckin' pisses me off, threatening me now. Fuck her.
Instead I snap the window shut as Rossi's finishin…
Silica
I turn back to Jester and scoff, "I still got two fuckin' feet, you can have the bitch..." I keep looking at him though... isn't he fucking cold? "The fuck you doin' out here?" I ask.
Silica
Hadden's giving me eyes something fierce. I keep looking back.
I snicker a hissy little snicker showing teeth and glance at my sister, "pretty much did... the fuck are you doin' ambulancin' round with Hadden? "
Speaking of which, what's H…
Silica
In the mirror, Hadden can see my little satsified smile at how mad Rossi's getting. Going to keep it up, "Poppy's pearl, Rosie. Said if ya don't come home she's gonna adopt me instead all proper like... gimme your fuckin' room and shit." I s…
Silica
"Dice..." I say softly, like it's a relief.
I look up over my shoulder towards the cab of the truck and the little open window. "Fuck you Rosie!" I call back. Then I stand, settling my elbows in the edge of the little window to look inside…
