JRWI:UPP OC RP BLOG

//ooc and character desc under the cut

hello, my name’s ivy.. ivy starling.

i.. i got this account so i could have something to do, maybe get away from my parents.

i like bunnies, i like to write, i like nightcore music..

i’m a 15 year old girl living in deadwood! people say they don’t see me often and that i’m so quiet. do they mean that like a compliment?

my tags :

#🐇 ; sniffsniff - yap

#🎀 ; make me blush! - replying to asks if i get them

#💌 ; somebunny loves you! - int with.. gasp.. other rp blogs..

#✏️ ; starling log - plot-related ? //ill take this down if its not necessary

#🐾 ; purrfait - ooc

ivy is a meek deadwood girl who hides from most people. she has a tough home life and her parents’ actions taught her one thing: don’t be an inconvenience. this is why she treads so lightly, figuratively and literally. she’s very much based off a bunny, and she’s got a lot of projection in her so be niceys… she is a yumeship oc and i ship her with william wisp and/or norah fleetwood, however i won’t try to do ship rp unless i know the other person is okay with it

she looks like this ^^

her lore! tldr: ivy lived a sad, lonely life under her parents’ negligence and occasional violence. she met norah due to them both being library aides and she was introduced the upp by norah. the upp quickly became her safe haven. her parents’ wrath increased which lead to her running away, into the forest, not to be seen for months. during the events of season 2, she comes back but is one of the returned, as she had taken her own life. (however in this blog, for the sake of not having to kill her off, she is normal)

{ it's afternoon now. ivy couldn't focus much in her classes cause she was thinking about what ellane said to her. magic is real..? the monsters...? what do they mean by all this? what's really going on in this godforsaken town? }

{ all that and more to be answered when she gets to the house they mentioned. she very briefly stopped home to put her things down and get herself a little bit more presentable before taking the maybe four minute walk to the wisps' home. }

{ she knocks very faintly on the door before retracting her hand to rest near her chest, like little paws. }

[familiarityupp]

(Janet goes to open to door- Ivy can hear her talking through it- but is quickly stopped by a shout from upstairs as a kid tumbles down to take her place- the door swings open slowly with a creak, as Ellane peaks around it) "oh-.. um- hi ivy..?" "what're you d-doing here.." (they have completely forgotten about inviting her.. drawbacks of the disease i suppose)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy freezes. they... forgot she was coming? is she not supposed to be here then? should.. should she leave? }

{ she doesn't shake but her eyes are glued to the floor as she speaks }

" hehe.. hi, ellane.. we agreed to meet up here to talk about.. the thing.. right? "

{ she hopes she could jog their memory. }

“ sorry.. i’ll leave if you want m-me to.. ”

{ it’s like she gets meeker and meeker the more you talk to her. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- fuck- sorry.." "im um- im sick right now.. its kinda messing with my memory is all.." "i- i do-- i do remember you.. im sorry.." "you can- um.. c-come in.. if you want.." (they open the door a little wider, but kinda forget to move out the way for now ...)

[dearivysdiary]

“ it’s.. it’s f-fine, ”

{ ivy gingerly squeezes herself in, her shoes making a light knocking on the hardwood. she stands somewhat behind ellane, a habit she honestly can’t remember why she has. }

“ so.. where are we headed? ”

[familiarityupp]

"umm... basement- will probably doesnt want he taking people into his room.." (they wander over to the basement door- stopping by the side of it to wait for Ivy- making sure shes still okay.)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ellane doesn’t have a room of her own? ivy thought they would.. but it’s rude to question, so she just follows them to the door. }

{ she politely nods and waits for you to open it. }

[familiarityupp]

(they open the door and slowly make their way down) "so- um.. i have.. a lot of things to tell you.." (they're in their pajamas rn,, and they dont look very well)

[dearivysdiary]

{ it doesn’t look like ivy changed her clothes. same hoodie, same shoes, the whole shebang. only difference is she dropped off her bag save for a pink notebook and a matching pen. }

“ mhm, mhm, i have the time. m-may i sit down, please? ”

{ ivy slightly bows her head and smiles. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- um.. yeah-.. ofcourse.." (they take a seat in an armchair near the couch- presumably leaving the basement couch itself for Ivy.)

[dearivysdiary]

“ a-ah, thank you. ”

{ ivy takes a seat on the couch, close to the armchair where ellane is. }

“ so.. you know the truth about deadwood? what’s that i k-keep hearing from the woods? ”

{ ivy is sat upright, her notebook in her lap, debating if she should open it yet. she’s allowed to write this down, right? her legs are partially folded, her thighs together. }

[familiarityupp]

"um.. well it could be.. a few things actually.." [Ellane sits in the armchair in a little ball, legs close to their chest, leaning on the left armrest.. they're fidgetting with their fingers- a little nervous.] "it couldve been... the dark young?" "which-.. um.. it was... liike .. an eldritch tree monster thing.." "it could've been the entropynes too.." "im not really sure-.. um.." "i feel l-like.. i should tell you the truth about /me/ first.." "im not.. a normal... human" "did i tell you that already..?"

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy doesn’t look frightened. she’s shaken, sure. it just looks like her suspicions were proven right. she writes a little bit about the dark young, leaving a lot of space for her to elaborate in the future. }

“ entropynes? i know what entropy means, but.. ”

{ she pauses, waiting for ellane to continue from there. }

“ y-you’re not a regular human.. you said that.. something got to you. that’s wh-where the scar on your eye c-came from. ”

{ ivy nods and doesn’t write that part down, assuming it could be a sensitive secret. }

[familiarityupp]

"yeah um.." "im-.. im dead.." "or- i should be.. im technically dead..?" "its confusing.." "ive died twice.. and im not.." "really a human anymore"

[ for ref. this is because Ellane's biology has been actively changing every time they regenerate- for instance the fact that their irises and pupils have been observed to very brutally rip into two at random sometimes... ]

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy is visibly put off by hearing this. }

“ you’re.. you’re dead? ”

{ she’s unsure what to say, hugging her knees a little. }

“ haha..ha.. ”

“ if you’re not a-a human.. then what are you? ”

“ i’m sorry, that’s probably so insensitive of me to say, i’m so so s-sorry.. ”

“ that’s.. keep talking, k-keep talking.. ”

{ ivy shuts herself up, internally hoping she didn’t accidentally hurt ellane’s feelings or remind them or anything bad }

[familiarityupp]

".." (they-- do look hurt,, they cant hide it completely but..) "yeah um.. i dont... know?" "im.. still kinda a human... just not entirely... though i dont feel like a person..."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy chastises herself in her head once more for saying that. }

“ i’m sorry.. ”

{ sometimes thoughts in your head should stay in your head. }

“ y-you’re still a person to me. ”

{ ivy tries to smile but can’t, looking back at ellane and waiting for them to continue. }

[familiarityupp]

"mm.. y-yeah.." "thanks.." (they just sit there awkwardly... like they need prompting to keep going... lost a little in thought)

[dearivysdiary]

“ sorry, um.. how’d you die? do you want t-to tell me? ”

{ ivy’s nerves seem to be slowly replaced with curiosity now. she’s always at least a little anxious, but she leans slightly towards ellane rather than gasping and cowering, her little feet kicking slightly . }

[familiarityupp]

(they unfold a little, planting both feet on the ground for stability,, they take a deep breath)

"y-you sure..." "it was.. um... violent.."

[dearivysdiary]

{ she got a little more nervous, unsure if she wants ellane to tell her. it would probably eat away at her later. ultimately it’s their choice if they want to say. }

“ you don’t have to tell m-me if you d-don’t want to.. ”

[familiarityupp]

"No- um..." "i d-do... i jjust.." "its.. " "Okay-.. um im fine... " "just gimme a sec.." (they take a deeeep breath) "okay-.. you sure... its.. intense so.. i dont wanna make you..." "yknow.."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy’s hands go back up to join together at her chest. }

“ i’m.. i’m okay, e-ellane, you can t-tell me.”

{ her gaze is everywhere but on them. }

[familiarityupp]

"it.. um.." "it was in my kitchen.." "this-- monster.. the one we're investigating right now.." "it took over my whole house.. then... ch-changed me... so i couldnt see it..."

"it used me... as a hostage.." "against one of will's friends.. and when she didnt comply.." "it put a tendril through my eye.. turned half my brain to mush.." "i still remember feeling my skull cave in on itself.."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy recoils, imagining it. the sound of ellane’s skull cracking, their screams, the blood. it’s horrible. }

“ that’s.. oh my god.. ”

{ ivy wipes her eyes. }

“ i’m so sorry that happened… ”

{ she can’t really even fully comprehend it. }

“ … ”

{ she holds herself back from asking if they’re okay, because the answer is so obviously no. it’s very clear she’s worried but can’t do much. }

[familiarityupp]

"..i still remember it yknow.." "the hurting.. wa'nt the worst part.." "it was the sounds man.... my eye popped.. skull crunched in on its own edges.. my brain just.. squish"

[dearivysdiary]

“ o-oh.. oh.. ”

{ the more ivy imagines it, the more distress she gets in. she can handle hearing about monsters and ghosts and other eldritch horrors but she can’t do gore. }

{ she bends in on herself, a barely-audible squeak escaping her. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- shit um.. im .. im sorry.. i didnt mean to upset you.." "fuck--" (theyre tapping their foot anxiously now, tehy wanna hug her but,, thats kinda awkward with someone they dont know)

[dearivysdiary]

“ it’s. it’s alright.”

{ ivy sniffles and catches her breath. }

“ it’s just.. it’s so awful th-that happened to you. ”

{ ivy pauses, wondering if you’ll say any more before she slightly changes the subject. ]

[familiarityupp]

"mm.." "its.. just deadwood though.." "deadwoods.. kinda just like this to everyone.." "only reason ive died twice now.. is just cause i was the one kid who could die without... /dying/.." "i know of other kids who just... died... cause of this shitty place"

[dearivysdiary]

“ aw, i mean.. my life’s not g-great, but nothing of this sort has ever happened to me. i do notice.. that there are th-things wrong, though. i.. i remembered that rotting smell a while a-ago, even before norah told me about all of that. i-i hear things coming from the woods all the t-time. i just wish there was anything i could d-do to help.. anything. ”

{ ivy wears the same anxious expression, now fidgeting slightly with the ears on her hoodie. }

“ i-i assume you have more to t-tell me, but.. ”

“ …can i hear more about you? like.. outside of the ‘died and came back’ stuff? ”

{ she has a feeling she’d be running into ellane frequently, so she wants to learn some things about them. }

“ y-you don’t have to tell me if you don’t w-want to.. ”

[familiarityupp]

".. youre better off staying out of it really..." "all it does is get us hurt." "um-..a-anyway... iii.." "... well... i can properly introduce myself if you want.. drop in some fun facts?"

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy wipes away her tears completely. }

“ that’d be nice.. you don’t have to, though. ”

{ she says that a lot. ‘you don’t have to.’ }

{ she’s.. better off staying out of it. that may be true, actually, that’s most likely true. she’ll probably just give herself more trauma. she has awful fear of missing out, and wants to be friends with norah’s friends so bad. she hears so much about them and can’t help but wonder if they’d like her. }

{ she got a little more nervous, unsure if she wants ellane to tell her. it would probably eat away at her later. ultimately it’s their choice if they want to say. }

“ you don’t have to tell m-me if you d-don’t want to.. ”

[familiarityupp]

"No- um..." "i d-do... i jjust.." "its.. " "Okay-.. um im fine... " "just gimme a sec.." (they take a deeeep breath) "okay-.. you sure... its.. intense so.. i dont wanna make you..." "yknow.."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy’s hands go back up to join together at her chest. }

“ i’m.. i’m okay, e-ellane, you can t-tell me.”

{ her gaze is everywhere but on them. }

[familiarityupp]

"it.. um.." "it was in my kitchen.." "this-- monster.. the one we're investigating right now.." "it took over my whole house.. then... ch-changed me... so i couldnt see it..."

"it used me... as a hostage.." "against one of will's friends.. and when she didnt comply.." "it put a tendril through my eye.. turned half my brain to mush.." "i still remember feeling my skull cave in on itself.."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy recoils, imagining it. the sound of ellane’s skull cracking, their screams, the blood. it’s horrible. }

“ that’s.. oh my god.. ”

{ ivy wipes her eyes. }

“ i’m so sorry that happened… ”

{ she can’t really even fully comprehend it. }

“ … ”

{ she holds herself back from asking if they’re okay, because the answer is so obviously no. it’s very clear she’s worried but can’t do much. }

[familiarityupp]

"..i still remember it yknow.." "the hurting.. wa'nt the worst part.." "it was the sounds man.... my eye popped.. skull crunched in on its own edges.. my brain just.. squish"

[dearivysdiary]

“ o-oh.. oh.. ”

{ the more ivy imagines it, the more distress she gets in. she can handle hearing about monsters and ghosts and other eldritch horrors but she can’t do gore. }

{ she bends in on herself, a barely-audible squeak escaping her. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- shit um.. im .. im sorry.. i didnt mean to upset you.." "fuck--" (theyre tapping their foot anxiously now, tehy wanna hug her but,, thats kinda awkward with someone they dont know)

[dearivysdiary]

“ it’s. it’s alright.”

{ ivy sniffles and catches her breath. }

“ it’s just.. it’s so awful th-that happened to you. ”

{ ivy pauses, wondering if you’ll say any more before she slightly changes the subject. ]

[dearivysdiary]

{ it's afternoon now. ivy couldn't focus much in her classes cause she was thinking about what ellane said to her. magic is real..? the monsters...? what do they mean by all this? what's really going on in this godforsaken town? }

{ all that and more to be answered when she gets to the house they mentioned. she very briefly stopped home to put her things down and get herself a little bit more presentable before taking the maybe four minute walk to the wisps' home. }

{ she knocks very faintly on the door before retracting her hand to rest near her chest, like little paws. }

“…?”

[familiarityupp]

(Janet goes to open to door- Ivy can hear her talking through it- but is quickly stopped by a shout from upstairs as a kid tumbles down to take her place- the door swings open slowly with a creak, as Ellane peaks around it) "oh-.. um- hi ivy..?" "what're you d-doing here.." (they have completely forgotten about inviting her.. drawbacks of the disease i suppose)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy freezes. they... forgot she was coming? is she not supposed to be here then? should.. should she leave? }

{ she doesn't shake but her eyes are glued to the floor as she speaks }

" hehe.. hi, ellane.. we agreed to meet up here to talk about.. the thing.. right? "

{ she hopes she could jog their memory. }

“ sorry.. i’ll leave if you want m-me to.. ”

{ it’s like she gets meeker and meeker the more you talk to her. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- fuck- sorry.." "im um- im sick right now.. its kinda messing with my memory is all.." "i- i do-- i do remember you.. im sorry.." "you can- um.. c-come in.. if you want.." (they open the door a little wider, but kinda forget to move out the way for now ...)

[dearivysdiary]

“ it’s.. it’s f-fine, ”

{ ivy gingerly squeezes herself in, her shoes making a light knocking on the hardwood. she stands somewhat behind ellane, a habit she honestly can’t remember why she has. }

“ so.. where are we headed? ”

[familiarityupp]

"umm... basement- will probably doesnt want he taking people into his room.." (they wander over to the basement door- stopping by the side of it to wait for Ivy- making sure shes still okay.)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ellane doesn’t have a room of her own? ivy thought they would.. but it’s rude to question, so she just follows them to the door. }

{ she politely nods and waits for you to open it. }

[familiarityupp]

(they open the door and slowly make their way down) "so- um.. i have.. a lot of things to tell you.." (they're in their pajamas rn,, and they dont look very well)

[dearivysdiary]

{ it doesn’t look like ivy changed her clothes. same hoodie, same shoes, the whole shebang. only difference is she dropped off her bag save for a pink notebook and a matching pen. }

“ mhm, mhm, i have the time. m-may i sit down, please? ”

{ ivy slightly bows her head and smiles. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- um.. yeah-.. ofcourse.." (they take a seat in an armchair near the couch- presumably leaving the basement couch itself for Ivy.)

[dearivysdiary]

“ a-ah, thank you. ”

{ ivy takes a seat on the couch, close to the armchair where ellane is. }

“ so.. you know the truth about deadwood? what’s that i k-keep hearing from the woods? ”

{ ivy is sat upright, her notebook in her lap, debating if she should open it yet. she’s allowed to write this down, right? her legs are partially folded, her thighs together. }

[familiarityupp]

"um.. well it could be.. a few things actually.." [Ellane sits in the armchair in a little ball, legs close to their chest, leaning on the left armrest.. they're fidgetting with their fingers- a little nervous.] "it couldve been... the dark young?" "which-.. um.. it was... liike .. an eldritch tree monster thing.." "it could've been the entropynes too.." "im not really sure-.. um.." "i feel l-like.. i should tell you the truth about /me/ first.." "im not.. a normal... human" "did i tell you that already..?"

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy doesn’t look frightened. she’s shaken, sure. it just looks like her suspicions were proven right. she writes a little bit about the dark young, leaving a lot of space for her to elaborate in the future. }

“ entropynes? i know what entropy means, but.. ”

{ she pauses, waiting for ellane to continue from there. }

“ y-you’re not a regular human.. you said that.. something got to you. that’s wh-where the scar on your eye c-came from. ”

{ ivy nods and doesn’t write that part down, assuming it could be a sensitive secret. }

[familiarityupp]

"yeah um.." "im-.. im dead.." "or- i should be.. im technically dead..?" "its confusing.." "ive died twice.. and im not.." "really a human anymore"

[ for ref. this is because Ellane's biology has been actively changing every time they regenerate- for instance the fact that their irises and pupils have been observed to very brutally rip into two at random sometimes... ]

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy is visibly put off by hearing this. }

“ you’re.. you’re dead? ”

{ she’s unsure what to say, hugging her knees a little. }

“ haha..ha.. ”

“ if you’re not a-a human.. then what are you? ”

“ i’m sorry, that’s probably so insensitive of me to say, i’m so so s-sorry.. ”

“ that’s.. keep talking, k-keep talking.. ”

{ ivy shuts herself up, internally hoping she didn’t accidentally hurt ellane’s feelings or remind them or anything bad }

[familiarityupp]

".." (they-- do look hurt,, they cant hide it completely but..) "yeah um.. i dont... know?" "im.. still kinda a human... just not entirely... though i dont feel like a person..."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy chastises herself in her head once more for saying that. }

“ i’m sorry.. ”

{ sometimes thoughts in your head should stay in your head. }

“ y-you’re still a person to me. ”

{ ivy tries to smile but can’t, looking back at ellane and waiting for them to continue. }

[familiarityupp]

"mm.. y-yeah.." "thanks.." (they just sit there awkwardly... like they need prompting to keep going... lost a little in thought)

[dearivysdiary]

“ sorry, um.. how’d you die? do you want t-to tell me? ”

{ ivy’s nerves seem to be slowly replaced with curiosity now. she’s always at least a little anxious, but she leans slightly towards ellane rather than gasping and cowering, her little feet kicking slightly . }

[familiarityupp]

(they unfold a little, planting both feet on the ground for stability,, they take a deep breath)

"y-you sure..." "it was.. um... violent.."

“ mhm, mhm, i have the time. m-may i sit down, please? ”

{ ivy slightly bows her head and smiles. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- um.. yeah-.. ofcourse.." (they take a seat in an armchair near the couch- presumably leaving the basement couch itself for Ivy.)

[dearivysdiary]

“ a-ah, thank you. ”

{ ivy takes a seat on the couch, close to the armchair where ellane is. }

“ so.. you know the truth about deadwood? what’s that i k-keep hearing from the woods? ”

{ ivy is sat upright, her notebook in her lap, debating if she should open it yet. she’s allowed to write this down, right? her legs are partially folded, her thighs together. }

[familiarityupp]

"um.. well it could be.. a few things actually.." [Ellane sits in the armchair in a little ball, legs close to their chest, leaning on the left armrest.. they're fidgetting with their fingers- a little nervous.] "it couldve been... the dark young?" "which-.. um.. it was... liike .. an eldritch tree monster thing.." "it could've been the entropynes too.." "im not really sure-.. um.." "i feel l-like.. i should tell you the truth about /me/ first.." "im not.. a normal... human" "did i tell you that already..?"

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy doesn’t look frightened. she’s shaken, sure. it just looks like her suspicions were proven right. she writes a little bit about the dark young, leaving a lot of space for her to elaborate in the future. }

“ entropynes? i know what entropy means, but.. ”

{ she pauses, waiting for ellane to continue from there. }

“ y-you’re not a regular human.. you said that.. something got to you. that’s wh-where the scar on your eye c-came from. ”

{ ivy nods and doesn’t write that part down, assuming it could be a sensitive secret. }

[familiarityupp]

"yeah um.." "im-.. im dead.." "or- i should be.. im technically dead..?" "its confusing.." "ive died twice.. and im not.." "really a human anymore"

[ for ref. this is because Ellane's biology has been actively changing every time they regenerate- for instance the fact that their irises and pupils have been observed to very brutally rip into two at random sometimes... ]

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy is visibly put off by hearing this. }

“ you’re.. you’re dead? ”

{ she’s unsure what to say, hugging her knees a little. }

“ haha..ha.. ”

“ if you’re not a-a human.. then what are you? ”

“ i’m sorry, that’s probably so insensitive of me to say, i’m so so s-sorry.. ”

“ that’s.. keep talking, k-keep talking.. ”

{ ivy shuts herself up, internally hoping she didn’t accidentally hurt ellane’s feelings or remind them or anything bad }

[familiarityupp]

".." (they-- do look hurt,, they cant hide it completely but..) "yeah um.. i dont... know?" "im.. still kinda a human... just not entirely... though i dont feel like a person..."

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy chastises herself in her head once more for saying that. }

“ i’m sorry.. ”

{ sometimes thoughts in your head should stay in your head. }

“ y-you’re still a person to me. ”

{ ivy tries to smile but can’t, looking back at ellane and waiting for them to continue. }

[familiarityupp]

"mm.. y-yeah.." "thanks.." (they just sit there awkwardly... like they need prompting to keep going... lost a little in thought)

[dearivysdiary]

“ sorry, um.. how’d you die? do you want t-to tell me? ”

{ ivy’s nerves seem to be slowly replaced with curiosity now. she’s always at least a little anxious, but she leans slightly towards ellane rather than gasping and cowering, her little feet kicking slightly . }

[familiarityupp]

(they unfold a little, planting both feet on the ground for stability,, they take a deep breath)

"y-you sure..." "it was.. um... violent.."

[dearivysdiary]

{ she got a little more nervous, unsure if she wants ellane to tell her. it would probably eat away at her later. ultimately it’s their choice if they want to say. }

“ you don’t have to tell m-me if you d-don’t want to.. ”

[dearivysdiary]

{ it's afternoon now. ivy couldn't focus much in her classes cause she was thinking about what ellane said to her. magic is real..? the monsters...? what do they mean by all this? what's really going on in this godforsaken town? }

{ all that and more to be answered when she gets to the house they mentioned. she very briefly stopped home to put her things down and get herself a little bit more presentable before taking the maybe four minute walk to the wisps' home. }

{ she knocks very faintly on the door before retracting her hand to rest near her chest, like little paws. }

[familiarityupp]

(Janet goes to open to door- Ivy can hear her talking through it- but is quickly stopped by a shout from upstairs as a kid tumbles down to take her place- the door swings open slowly with a creak, as Ellane peaks around it) "oh-.. um- hi ivy..?" "what're you d-doing here.." (they have completely forgotten about inviting her.. drawbacks of the disease i suppose)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy freezes. they... forgot she was coming? is she not supposed to be here then? should.. should she leave? }

{ she doesn't shake but her eyes are glued to the floor as she speaks }

" hehe.. hi, ellane.. we agreed to meet up here to talk about.. the thing.. right? "

{ she hopes she could jog their memory. }

“ sorry.. i’ll leave if you want m-me to.. ”

{ it’s like she gets meeker and meeker the more you talk to her. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- fuck- sorry.." "im um- im sick right now.. its kinda messing with my memory is all.." "i- i do-- i do remember you.. im sorry.." "you can- um.. c-come in.. if you want.." (they open the door a little wider, but kinda forget to move out the way for now ...)

[dearivysdiary]

“ it’s.. it’s f-fine, ”

{ ivy gingerly squeezes herself in, her shoes making a light knocking on the hardwood. she stands somewhat behind ellane, a habit she honestly can’t remember why she has. }

“ so.. where are we headed? ”

[familiarityupp]

"umm... basement- will probably doesnt want he taking people into his room.." (they wander over to the basement door- stopping by the side of it to wait for Ivy- making sure shes still okay.)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ellane doesn’t have a room of her own? ivy thought they would.. but it’s rude to question, so she just follows them to the door. }

{ she politely nods and waits for you to open it. }

[familiarityupp]

(they open the door and slowly make their way down) "so- um.. i have.. a lot of things to tell you.." (they're in their pajamas rn,, and they dont look very well)

"oh- um.. yeah-.. ofcourse.." (they take a seat in an armchair near the couch- presumably leaving the basement couch itself for Ivy.)

[dearivysdiary]

“ a-ah, thank you. ”

{ ivy takes a seat on the couch, close to the armchair where ellane is. }

“ so.. you know the truth about deadwood? what’s that i k-keep hearing from the woods? ”

{ ivy is sat upright, her notebook in her lap, debating if she should open it yet. she’s allowed to write this down, right? her legs are partially folded, her thighs together. }

[dearivysdiary]

{ it's afternoon now. ivy couldn't focus much in her classes cause she was thinking about what ellane said to her. magic is real..? the monsters...? what do they mean by all this? what's really going on in this godforsaken town? }

{ all that and more to be answered when she gets to the house they mentioned. she very briefly stopped home to put her things down and get herself a little bit more presentable before taking the maybe four minute walk to the wisps' home. }

{ she knocks very faintly on the door before retracting her hand to rest near her chest, like little paws. }

(Janet goes to open to door- Ivy can hear her talking through it- but is quickly stopped by a shout from upstairs as a kid tumbles down to take her place- the door swings open slowly with a creak, as Ellane peaks around it) "oh-.. um- hi ivy..?" "what're you d-doing here.." (they have completely forgotten about inviting her.. drawbacks of the disease i suppose)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ivy freezes. they... forgot she was coming? is she not supposed to be here then? should.. should she leave? }

{ she doesn't shake but her eyes are glued to the floor as she speaks }

" hehe.. hi, ellane.. we agreed to meet up here to talk about.. the thing.. right? "

{ she hopes she could jog their memory. }

“ sorry.. i’ll leave if you want m-me to.. ”

{ it’s like she gets meeker and meeker the more you talk to her. }

[familiarityupp]

"oh- fuck- sorry.." "im um- im sick right now.. its kinda messing with my memory is all.." "i- i do-- i do remember you.. im sorry.." "you can- um.. c-come in.. if you want.." (they open the door a little wider, but kinda forget to move out the way for now ...)

[dearivysdiary]

“ it’s.. it’s f-fine, ”

{ ivy gingerly squeezes herself in, her shoes making a light knocking on the hardwood. she stands somewhat behind ellane, a habit she honestly can’t remember why she has. }

“ so.. where are we headed? ”

[familiarityupp]

"umm... basement- will probably doesnt want he taking people into his room.." (they wander over to the basement door- stopping by the side of it to wait for Ivy- making sure shes still okay.)

[dearivysdiary]

{ ellane doesn’t have a room of her own? ivy thought they would.. but it’s rude to question, so she just follows them to the door. }

{ she politely nods and waits for you to open it. }

[familiarityupp]

(they open the door and slowly make their way down) "so- um.. i have.. a lot of things to tell you.." (they're in their pajamas rn,, and they dont look very well)

[dearivysdiary]

{ it doesn’t look like ivy changed her clothes. same hoodie, same shoes, the whole shebang. only difference is she dropped off her bag save for a pink notebook and a matching pen. }

“ mhm, mhm, i have the time. m-may i sit down, please? ”

{ ivy slightly bows her head and smiles. }
