Cheep-Cheep! | Chapter 1 | Psalm + Imoo
m0rstuavitameaā:
Psalm may not be the actual La llorona, but by golly, she sure wants to be some day. Sheās got the eerie inhuman wailing down pat, though her hair could probably stand to be stringier. The biggest challenge would be to walk around sopping wet all the time. Or, you know, to find someone to put up with her long enough to have children to grieve in the first place, but sheād cross that bridge when she got to it.
āReally?ā She says, apparently not considering her own talent in her surprised delight that someone enjoyed her food. It shouldnāt exactly be a shock to her at this point, but hey, whatever makes her happy.Ā āThatās great! I could totally make you a better one, though. I wish I had the resources I have on set. Iād totally blow your socks off.ā
Pausing, she looks around, as if confused.Ā
āUhā¦yeah, I guess so. What else is there to do around here? Iām not a musclehead so the cave maze isnāt any fun, and nobodyās gotten ripped to shreds in like, a day or two. Thereās nothing going on down here.ā
So her solution is walking? Times are hard. Kids have no idea how to have fun without cell phones.
Imoo nods sagely. Heād never had a sāmore before that point, so he has nothing to compare the one she had given him to. But he assumes that if she really is a chef, she probably knows better about that than he does - he can cook, sure, but itās not his specialty. Grandma usually took care of that.Ā
āBlow your socks off... I get it. Haah.ā
The laugh is toneless, so itās anyoneās guess if he actually finds it funny or not. Imoo crosses his legs where heās sitting on the rock.Ā
āIf I could actually catch anything here, you could make sashimi... but thatās not happening. Lakeās empty.ā
Oh yeah, the labyrinth. Imoo absentmindedly rubs at his arms, still lightly bruised from the dungeon crawling theyād gone on with their respective group. Theyād managed to make it out okay, with an expensive flashlight in tow, but that didnāt mean they werenāt still a bit sore.Ā
āOh, yeah, the cave maze. I almost got run over by a boulder down there. Like in that movie...ā
They canāt remember the name, so they donāt elaborate.Ā
āYouād really want to see someone ripped to shreds...?ā
