*somewhere in the swamp, a quickly flash of light accompanies a grinding sound. When it fades a clown is standing there mid stride. Jimbo wanders through the woods in search of the inconvenience... Just over an hour later there's another flash and Jimbo returns. Each time the clown reaches the inconvenience there is nother reset and another so on and so on....*

Hey Jimbo! it's been a few days... are you still getting the cheese?

Its ok if you can't get it. I think it will be ok if you take your time too. Just try to avoid my mom when you get back. She wants me to eat other things than cheese.

Also what do you mean minutes? I've slept since then.

*the towering clown ducks through the door, looking around the seemingly empty store before going over to the cooler of snacks, grabbing as many packs of American cheese as possible*

*Lilly pokes her head out from the cooler*

Oh, hey there! I was wondering if we'd get any customers today, I'll be over there on a minute...

*Lilly scoots past Jimbo careful not to hit him with her crutches as she gets behind the counter*

Hey, have we met before... Wait...

[jarringjimbo]

*Jimbo's eyes track Lilly as she walks past him, his pin prick pupils trained on her with focus and hate. His head and heart start pounding in synchronized rhythm. He stranded every muscle causing a blood vessel to burst from the sheer stress of seeing her. She wasn't like the kind man who he saw in the shop last.*

*she was human*

*After what felt like decades of being frozen in place Jimbo couldn't keep it in any longer, his feet suddenly pulling from the spot he seemed to be stuck in, cheese scattering across the store floor as in two long strides jimbo was atop the counter, hunching over with is thin clammy fingers wrapped tightly around the girls neck, shoving her back against the cigarette case*

[interdimensional-inconvenience]

*Lilly is caught off guard by the sudden attack, clattering backwards and crashing into the reinforced glass behind her. She desperately grabs at the clowns wrist, dropping one crutch then the other. She tries to reach a stone or phone sitting on the counter but can't quite reach. She grabs onto the knob of a drawer behind her as she clatters to the floor, sending the contents scattering. *

*Bullets and weapons litter the floor now and she tries to grab ahold of something, anything. She grabs onto some sort of energy charge, but without anything to load it into she does the only thing her oxygen deprived brain can think to do, and thrusts it hard against the chest of her attacker.*

*A bright flash of light like that of a small star fills the store spilling out the windows into every dimension. A singed clown shaped body is tossed against the cooler he was standing against moments ago, glass shattering as cheese and eggs topple from the cooler all over his unmoving body. Then the store is quiet.*

We can hang out any time! Kids or no kids!

Do you like tea? I can set us up some tea a cookies for lunch!

[xxxsoulreapergoddessxxx]

I’ll bring tarts! How does pomegranate and cherry sound? I’ll also bring blueberry and carrot milk.

[bunnylocamsh]

Those tarts sound nice!!! Not gonna lie, those sound like odd drinks, but they sound very refreshing and I'd like to try them.

I'll see you at lunch!

[marymouse4053]

My forest has blue, and stretches to the swamp... But don't go there. There is a big clown zombie troll thing there that came out of the muck to get me. I ran away too fast for it to find me.

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(I don't want to see a zombie clown!!) If I saw a zombie I'd...punch it in the face! Y-yeah! I'm not scared!

[marymouse4053]

How would you be able to reach it's face??? It's like 10 feet tall!!!!

[bioluminescent-reflections]

Well, I could flap some like this and then punch him!

*Ah, yep, they just flapped a whole lot and got a few feet off the ground. I wouldn't call it particularly effective but it could probably punch someone that way. Maybe*

(Noooo, let's go somewhere else!)

[marymouse4053]

I guess. But I don't want to attract @jarringjimbo the zombie troll clown monster back to my house. He's scary.

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(me either.....let's just go see something else) Yeah! Ummm what else is there?

[marymouse4053]

Want to throw things on the blue side of the forest and watch it get eaten by the weird blue parasite?

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(Ummm is it going to chase us too? A blue forest sounds really pretty) That sounds EXTREMELY COOL!!

[marymouse4053]

The blue stays on that side of the forest. We can get really close but we can't touch directly. Only with sticks. It is really pretty too!

[bioluminescent-reflections]

Let's go let's go! (Ok:))

[jarringjimbo]

*As they play near the blue, the forest breathes, leaves slowly swaying. Accompanying the swaying of the leaves theres the sound of something snapping branches. It seems to get closer... Then stop. Looking back at the woods one might notice a bit of stained yellow and sun bleaches blue strip fabric. Slowly something bends down and peaks round the tree they were hiding behind, the bending of their joints sounding like stretching rubber as they look at the trio with a smile*

When he reaches the tree he reaches his long pale arms up easily reaching past the lowest branches to find one sturdy enough to pull himself up by. Jimbo moves like a trapeze artist meets a contortionist, his body bending and twisting making a sound like someone making a balloon animal. He scales the tree with shocking ease, looking up at the kids with a genuine smile*

Anyone watching would see a lens flare effect, feel the light flowing through the leaves of the trees, the melancholy of watching the landscape shift by on a road trip, and knowing you'll never be able to go back. Life is infinitely precious and achingly worthwhile. All things, so bright and beautiful. Whatever you're doing can wait, go wander with that feeling, experience it, before it's too late*

*Jimbos wild eyes dilate with the flash of light as he feels himself being overwhelmed with the sensation, a feeling that was familiar but hard to pin down in his cotton candy spinner brain. His persistent smile falters and he seems to look at the kids instead of threw them for a moment*

OH MY GODS DID YOU KILL HIM?? IS HE DEAD??! (NO! ..I DON'T KNOW!)

He looks kind of sad when he's not chasing us...

[marymouse4053]

Technically he's already dead since he's a zombie...

*Opens eyes to stare at Jimbo*

[jarringjimbo]

*If he was a zombie, the clown seems to no longer be a zombie due to the fact that they are laying face down in the mud and not moving*

[marymouse4053]

Oh.... Did you guys kill him!?!?

*get's a stick ready to poke this guy*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(no! not on purpose!!) Maybe he's like one of Momma's zombies and he needs help so he can go back to being dead? Or a friend!

*Lucretia is crouched down squinting at the mud guy. They nod sagely at Mary* You should definitely poke him and see what happens

[jarringjimbo]

*The clown flinches slightly at the poke if the stick but seems to be unconscious. With his face buried in the mud and being unable to get up it seemed the zombie problem would sort itself out shortly*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

We should flip him over so he doesn't drown. That's when you can't breathe *More wise nodding from the learned sage* (what if he starts chasing us again??) Ummmmmmm, well he won't because we're being nice! Like Momma's zombies! *Ah, sound logic. The two bat kids clamber out of the tree and start pulling on an arm, trying to puuuuulllll the terrifying stranger, turned potential new friend, out of the mud*

[marymouse4053]

We can just, like, turn his head?

*She turns his head so he doesn't drown but it only uncovers, like, one nostril. So she keeps trying to flip him by the shoulders.*

You better be a nice zombie clown.... You scared me earlier.

*She looks to the pair for friends.*

Wait you Momma makes Zombies???

[jarringjimbo]

*Despite how tall he is the clown is thin and easily turned onto his side by the trio of explorers. Once his mouth as mostly freed from the mud he coughs up filthy water. His pinprick eyes are blurry as they shoot open, dizzily looking from bat to mouse to bad as he lay sprawled out on the marshy ground.*

[marymouse4053]

Oh.... Did you guys kill him!?!?

*get's a stick ready to poke this guy*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(no! not on purpose!!) Maybe he's like one of Momma's zombies and he needs help so he can go back to being dead? Or a friend!

*Lucretia is crouched down squinting at the mud guy. They nod sagely at Mary* You should definitely poke him and see what happens

[jarringjimbo]

*The clown flinches slightly at the poke if the stick but seems to be unconscious. With his face buried in the mud and being unable to get up it seemed the zombie problem would sort itself out shortly*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

We should flip him over so he doesn't drown. That's when you can't breathe *More wise nodding from the learned sage* (what if he starts chasing us again??) Ummmmmmm, well he won't because we're being nice! Like Momma's zombies! *Ah, sound logic. The two bat kids clamber out of the tree and start pulling on an arm, trying to puuuuulllll the terrifying stranger, turned potential new friend, out of the mud*

[marymouse4053]

We can just, like, turn his head?

*She turns his head so he doesn't drown but it only uncovers, like, one nostril. So she keeps trying to flip him by the shoulders.*

You better be a nice zombie clown.... You scared me earlier.

*She looks to the pair for friends.*

Wait you Momma makes Zombies???

[jarringjimbo]

*Despite how tall he is the clown is thin and easily turned onto his side by the trio of explorers. Once his mouth as mostly freed from the mud he coughs up filthy water. His pinprick eyes are blurry as they shoot open, dizzily looking from bat to mouse to bad as he lay sprawled out on the marshy ground.*

[bunnylocamsh]

hiii! Would you like to hang out? I can bring my kids over for Mary to play with. - Wisteria 🥀

We can hang out any time! Kids or no kids!

Do you like tea? I can set us up some tea a cookies for lunch!

[xxxsoulreapergoddessxxx]

I’ll bring tarts! How does pomegranate and cherry sound? I’ll also bring blueberry and carrot milk.

[bunnylocamsh]

Those tarts sound nice!!! Not gonna lie, those sound like odd drinks, but they sound very refreshing and I'd like to try them.

I'll see you at lunch!

[xxxsoulreapergoddessxxx]

See you soon!

@bioluminescent-reflections

[bioluminescent-reflections]

Waiwaiwait I wanna play with Mary! Adult snack time is boooring. (we could draw? or color or... hide?) Or explore! (or explore)

[marymouse4053]

Oooh! You like to explore too!!! Let me show ypu the woods! Its super fun and big and good for exploring!!!!

[bioluminescent-reflections]

We're basically like professional adventurers, mhmm! We made a map of all the best forts and hiding spots near our Poppa's house and- (what have you found in the forest?)

[marymouse4053]

My forest has blue, and stretches to the swamp... But don't go there. There is a big clown zombie troll thing there that came out of the muck to get me. I ran away too fast for it to find me.

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(I don't want to see a zombie clown!!) If I saw a zombie I'd...punch it in the face! Y-yeah! I'm not scared!

[marymouse4053]

How would you be able to reach it's face??? It's like 10 feet tall!!!!

[bioluminescent-reflections]

Well, I could flap some like this and then punch him!

*Ah, yep, they just flapped a whole lot and got a few feet off the ground. I wouldn't call it particularly effective but it could probably punch someone that way. Maybe*

(Noooo, let's go somewhere else!)

[marymouse4053]

I guess. But I don't want to attract @jarringjimbo the zombie troll clown monster back to my house. He's scary.

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(me either.....let's just go see something else) Yeah! Ummm what else is there?

[marymouse4053]

Want to throw things on the blue side of the forest and watch it get eaten by the weird blue parasite?

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(Ummm is it going to chase us too? A blue forest sounds really pretty) That sounds EXTREMELY COOL!!

[marymouse4053]

The blue stays on that side of the forest. We can get really close but we can't touch directly. Only with sticks. It is really pretty too!

[bioluminescent-reflections]

Let's go let's go! (Ok:))

[jarringjimbo]

*As they play near the blue, the forest breathes, leaves slowly swaying. Accompanying the swaying of the leaves theres the sound of something snapping branches. It seems to get closer... Then stop. Looking back at the woods one might notice a bit of stained yellow and sun bleaches blue strip fabric. Slowly something bends down and peaks round the tree they were hiding behind, the bending of their joints sounding like stretching rubber as they look at the trio with a smile*

ØH HellØ ItS MY LittlE MøusE FrienD @rE YøU @lL Pl@yinG @@ G@mE II LøvE G@meS!

[marymouse4053]

*screams the highest of pitch screams and grabs on to her friends!*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

*Oooh so it looks like that didn't feel great on their super sensitive bat ears and the world's creepiest clown ever showing up, threw them into a bit of a panic, and there was a three word, lightning-fast argument, but wow those kids can move, cause they each grabbed an arm and now they're all up in the lower branches of the tree. Phew that was a lot. Oh now Lucretia is all fluffed up and trying to be scary* Nice try zombie! We're too fast and awesome for you to get us, HA! (don't make it mad!!!!)

[jarringjimbo]

DiD YøU S@Y ZømbiE ØH ThiS IS @@ FuN G@mE WelL TheN IM GøinG TØ CømE @nD GeT YøU!

*Jimbo jogs towards the trio with long, heavy strides while his dangling arms sway side to side. When he reaches the tree he reaches his long pale arms up easily reaching past the lowest branches to find one sturdy enough to pull himself up by. Jimbo moves like a trapeze artist meets a contortionist, his body bending and twisting making a sound like someone making a balloon animal. He scales the tree with shocking ease, looking up at the kids with a genuine smile*

[marymouse4053]

*noticing that she hurt her friends' ears, she covers her mouth to scream. Then takes a breath and asks.*

What do we do??? We're stuck in. A treeeee!!!!!

[bioluminescent-reflections]

Uhh um we uh *Lucretia looks like it's maaaaybe regretting her bold words but catches sight of a determined look from their brother. It screws her eyes shut and covers Mary's too* Don't look!

(L-leav-ve us al-lone) *Oh wow.... One by one, the little speckles on Firefly's wings blink on. Anyone watching would see a lens flare effect, feel the light flowing through the leaves of the trees, the melancholy of watching the landscape shift by on a road trip, and knowing you'll never be able to go back. Life is infinitely precious and achingly worthwhile. All things, so bright and beautiful. Whatever you're doing can wait, go wander with that feeling, experience it, before it's too late*

[jarringjimbo]

*Jimbos wild eyes dilate with the flash of light as he feels himself being overwhelmed with the sensation, a feeling that was familiar but hard to pin down in his cotton candy spinner brain. His persistent smile falters and he seems to look at the kids instead of threw them for a moment*

...WherE @rE WE-

*his mind overcome by his sudden compulsion his tight grip between two branches of the tree suddenly falters. One hand slipping then the next causing the clown to spiral as he falls down the tree hitting every branch on the way down and landing face down in the mud with a wet thud*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

OH MY GODS DID YOU KILL HIM?? IS HE DEAD??! (NO! ..I DON'T KNOW!)

He looks kind of sad when he's not chasing us...

[marymouse4053]

Technically he's already dead since he's a zombie...

*Opens eyes to stare at Jimbo*

[jarringjimbo]

*If he was a zombie, the clown seems to no longer be a zombie due to the fact that they are laying face down in the mud and not moving*

[marymouse4053]

Oh.... Did you guys kill him!?!?

*get's a stick ready to poke this guy*

[bioluminescent-reflections]

(no! not on purpose!!) Maybe he's like one of Momma's zombies and he needs help so he can go back to being dead? Or a friend!

*Lucretia is crouched down squinting at the mud guy. They nod sagely at Mary* You should definitely poke him and see what happens

[jarringjimbo]

*The clown flinches slightly at the poke if the stick but seems to be unconscious. With his face buried in the mud and being unable to get up it seemed the zombie problem would sort itself out shortly*
