[You had avoided people. You had avoided them for over a month. You had healed, and you had avoided people. You were not able to face anyone. You had not gone to work.

Well. You had not gone to your official job, anyway.

The next time you woke up, you found a large package with your name on it. Your fully name. You had barely introduced yourself to anyone like that. You picked up the tag cautiously, preferring to know what this was rather than waiting for the inevitable explosion.]

[Carefully, you took the tag between your claws, turning it over in your hand. On it was a simple message.]

He sees you when they’re sleeping. He knows that you’re awake - Jesenia

[Perhaps if you had paid attention to the season surrounding the city you were in, you would understand the joke. But you did not, and so you tore open the package, expecting some kind of spying device.

But what you got was so much worse.

The drone whirred to life, much smaller than they were back home, but a drone nonetheless. You did not know what it did to your hive, because you were out the window into the frozen cityscape within moments.]

[Her voice is softer than she is and you relax just a little as you listen to her. There was a church around here? You didn’t even know!.. Maybe you could hide out in there when it gets cold - sleeping outside is getting harder lately.]

Honk!

[You latch onto her hand without any concerns on how it might startle the olive.]

[You jumped a little when he grasped your hand, but you held it in turn. You assumed the honk and hand-holding meant he wanted to go to church. So you would bring him to Chahut - maybe she’d know what to do.]

alright *|

[You offer him the closest thing to a smile you typically give.]

i’m polypa *|

[You begin walking in the direction you had been going. The church was a bit of a walk from here.]

[You weren’t sure if he could talk.]

“There’s more out there, you just have to be patient.”

old memes | not accepting

[You look up at the human who had caught you at a particularly vulnerable moment. You bristle at him, grimacing. You did not like to be caught when you were feeling weak. You were looking at a friend group going in to see a movie, and you must have been looking real fucking wistful for him to say something like that.]

expensiveknives liked your post:A new mini rp ad

[There were a lot of olives around here, wasn’t it? This is like the- you take a moment to count on your fingers- fourth you’ve met so far? She doesn’t seem as nice as the others, but at least you’re glad to know you’re not the only person out there without some loafers.]

[You just sort of, timidly wave at her as she walks past.]

Honk?

[expensiveknives]

[There were a lot of clowns around here, weren’t there? But this one seems young, and judging by the crease in his brow, probably a little lost.]

oh * uh * hey *|

[He’s young, very young, so you try to seem casual. You and Chahut were...Friends (?) after all, so you know not all purples are cut from the same oddly patterned cloth.]

are you * looking for where clown church is being held? * i’m actually headed towards there myself *|

[expensiveknives]

;; OKAY i kind of went hog wild on the event for her and burned myself out a bit so i’m gonna drop those threads, otherwise my drafts are clear now and here’s a starter call! capping at 3 with castmates exempt

[expensiveknives]

scorists‌:

MALLEK: sweet;

you mumble out an order to the BARTENDER, who looks at you funny considering you clearly aren’t familiar with whatever’s on the menu, but figures you’re OLD ENOUGH to be there anyway. he starts mixing you both up some more SUNSET LOOKING DRINKS, of which you’ve become very fond.

you turn back to the olive and maintain your UNRELENTINGLY CASUAL DEMEANOR. you try not to be one of those INTENSE BLUES, even though you undoubtedly are.

MALLEK: i dont actually know you; that alone = intriguing; MALLEK: but i feel like i should; MALLEK: that != a pickup line; trust; if i have to drop one itll be one that != so god damn cheesy; MALLEK: have you ever been to outglut;

[You grasp your drink in your hands and tap the glass with one claw once it is handed to you. You are unsure on what to do or what to say. On the one hand, he could be asking you because you already know the answer, and you’d prefer not to be in a situation where you lie to a blue. On the other hand, you don’t want to show your hand.]

yeah * not from around there originally * but i was staying there for a bit *|

that’s where i was * before i came here * and don’t worry * that didn’t sound like a pick up line *|

[But it did sound like an information gathering line. You were wary.]

[lifesteeler]

@expensiveknives liked

MEENAH: you good over there, definitely-not-meulin MEENAH: your signs kinda swimilar tho MEENAH: meulin but with muscles MEENAH: an hopefully less screechy

Why no, you don’t particularly care how poorly trolls who’ve maybe never seen you before might react to you. After mostly only seeing your friends and their dancestors and far too many ghosts of each, brand new faces are kind of interesting.

MEENAH: look like youve sean a ghost

You’re so funny.

[expensiveknives]

oh * good * another troll who says names and expects me to *|

[You were turning as you spoke, and you recoiled in shock as you did so. Since she did not sound like the heiress, and there was usually only one at a time, and then all of a sudden there was an heiress talking behind you.]

[Another. Fucking. Heiress.]

ah * shit *|

[You take a step back, coiled and ready to spring out of the way.]

no * i’m not meulin * whoever that is *|

[twicessected]

@expensiveknives

[It would be a lie to say you don’t like to drop down on people, because you do. Always fun to watch them wince, or jump, or even scream (you miss Eridan, he had the best screams). And yeah, sometimes you do get punched after trying that - like now, the heel of the other troll’s hand slams right into your nose.]

OW.

[Yeah, okay, you deserved it. Should’ve probably not dropped on a sister who looks like she’s already on the motherfucking edge. You take a better look at her.]

you’re that olive chick?

THE ONE THAT WORKS AT FEFERI’S PLACE.

[expensiveknives]

[You think on any other day you might feel bad for punching him in the nose, but in your defense the damn clown had surprised you. But still, you kind of wish you hadn’t, because in your current state, he could probably kill you.]

yeah * that’s me * polypa *|

[Fucking fuck. He knew the heiress. He was a clown and he knew the heiress and he knew you. And you punched him in the damn face. You tense up, holding your spear in your hands.]

you running from something? * do you need help? * can’t think of another reason to jump down so quickly *|

[dukeofcourage]

     @expensiveknives​

     With every wave of the undead that emerges from the shadows to strike at the troop, there are always a few of the living fleeing just ahead of their grasp. Dukemon barks a “Halt!” at the sight of them, and the bristling wall of spears parts to let them through.      After the survivors have been admitted to safety, the formation is clumsily realigned and the Knight calls out a second time: “Light!”      One woman sparks a lighter beneath her makeshift weapon, and the scraps of cloth bundled just below its sharpened tip burst into flames. The blaze is passed from one spear to the next, along the line until that bristling wall has transformed into a shield of heat and light.      The troop moves to form a circle around the newcomers, and Dukemon turns to analyze a horned, grey-skinned individual–she looks strong in the face of the horrors surrounding. After casting one more glance in the direction of the howling ghouls to gauge their numbers, they crouch at her side to speak to her alone.      “The enemy will soon descend upon us, and we have more spears than people to hold them. I ask that you find the strength to aid us… but if you cannot, we will escort you to safety.”

[expensiveknives]

[You take the spear from the giant wordlessly after a moment, looking down at it in your hands. Your gloves are tattered at this point, the bandages under them showing through and stained olive.]

yeah * okay *|

[You are exhausted, but you stand anyway, not using the spear nor the giant knight as support. They look like they could be from one of your shows, but your mind is too fogged to think of which one now.]

where should i stand * or i could use the spear to circumvent them * i’m better at hand to hand * than anything else *|

[expensiveknives]

@psstpocketing

[This isn’t a troll you haven’t seen before, but it’s a troll you haven’t seen here before. You lean on your spear, surrounded by the corpses of the undead.]

hey * you *|

[Yeah, you were pretty sure you’d met. But you haven’t slept in days.]

boldir * right? * it’s pretty dangerous around here *|

[expensiveknives]

@artefuquer

[You land directly on one of their heads as you jump down from the window you were in. At this point you were far worse for wear than this morning, but apparently you were too busy playing hero to relax too much. The spear you had borrowed is an excellent weapon, and since you were an expert with most weapons, you drove it through two of the shambling assholes you’ve been dealing with for a while.]

what are you doing? * pick up something * go for their heads *|

[You looked horrible. You were sweating and covered in your own olive blood and bandages. Not really the perfect example of someone to listen to.]
