" .....mhm."

[She just slowly peels Sam's hand off her shoulder but held his hand noticing he might keel over before she does ]

" It's on the left right? I practically know most of this apartments pathways "

[ she was doing most of the walking making sure Sam didn't suddenly kick bricks and hit the floor ]

[ once approaching the door she glanced further down the left side of the hall seeing a red trail and frowned ]

" ....Huh. "

[ before she turned around back to Sam stepping back to let him unlock the door ]

*He gently takes his hand back-*

I'll be fine- I'm uh- more worried about you Madison. . .

*He just quietly walked along, opening the door and gently welcoming her in*

Make yourself uh- home! I'll get you a air mattress out later- Y-yeah.

[madison-apt32]

" It's so.."

[ She blinked, looking around. The ringing still going off in her ear. Before she walked inside fully and just sat on the couch ]

[ she glanced at the wall on her left before just staring at the ground ]

" ...It's a lovely apartment! Uh.."

[ She needed to nap so bad her hands are still shaking even after she set her purse down ]

[sams-home-33]

You don't have to flatter me- it's pretty basic....

*he heads into his bedroom, coming out a couple minutes later with a deflated air mattress, he sets it up in the corner of the room and starts blowing it up-*

[madison-apt32]

" The carpet two tile ratio is a bit odd but I assume Mr Henderson picked it out as default for most of the apartment..er.."

[ she finally seemed to calm down, but she's side eyeing that wall so hard, she had a feeling in her bones but she couldn't figure it out so she just sat silent ]

[ before flinching looking up seeing Sam bring out a mattress ]

" Did that wall always have a hole in it or did that also show up with along with this...mess. "

[sams-home-33]

Huh-? Oh uh- no..... It popped up last night- . . . Strange but- can't do much against it .... I tried covering it up, something keeps removing it-

[madison-apt32]

" Well as long as nothing has tried crawling out of it you should be fine....unless it's termites. "

[ she recoiled visibly as she itched her arm fixing the bandage wrapping delicately as she leaned over to remove her shoes neatly setting them to the side of the couch ]

[ she went quiet checking her phone staring at the voice mails.. she'll deal with it later placing it face down on the couch space beside her ]

" ...Has anything in general happened to it or has there been nothing but the noise from between the walls like the pipes? "

[ she turned her head to fully look at him, glancing down at the mattress then back up at him ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh- yeah no- it's definitely not termites. And uh- no nothing has crawled out of it- it just doesn't like being closed up or something..... It's been dead silent in there, not even the sound of pipes- which is kinda nice, they're always super loud-

*The mattress is nearly done!!*

[madison-apt32]

" Are you sure you don't need my help? "

[ She blinked slowly her focus drifting visibly ]

" If your not using a air pump, breath in deeply before blowing into the tube. Exhale half before exhaling again. "

[ she gestured while tiredly trying to stay awake the teeth in her skin clinking together with each breath she took ]

[cosmic-visit0r]

Hey Visitor, do you have any knowledge of the word skedaddle?

I don't have anywhere I'm going with this I just thought it was a funny word you should know about :3

" Skedaddle?"

" ....Is this a food? "

[ it looks more directly at you, tilting it's eyestalk more ]

" ... We'll take note of this, thank you for this new addition, anon. "

Totally not advertising my other lorp blog but .......

Throws Madison at you!! RAUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

( blogs called madison-apt32 )

Will reblog this post in case there's a struggle

[krestick-art]

I finally finished the sketches for my AU

It's Toothy Family in this tiiimeee💥💥💥

Honestly, I'd to tell you about each one with my headcanons separately, but I understand that this will take A LOT OF TEXT and your time— so I try be short—

Sooo. Let's start with the head of the family - Clint

I don't think he and Madison would have liked what happened in their family very much. Unlike the children who don't even fully understand what's going on.

I think the first meeting with him in this AU would be the same as in the game, except Clint wouldn't be insane and for the first part of the dialogue with Sam he would try to hide his hand behind him so as not to scare him.

In my headcanons, Clint is a really caring and worried father. I think he would be very worried about the safety of his family in this apocalypse. And maybe not only about family(Like, I have a headcanon that Sam is actually a family friend to Madison, Clint, and Benjamin. and god, according to this headcanon, only Joel knows the absolute least about Sam). Considering the fact that uninvited guests could show up on their third floor and harm someone.

I think the mere thought of someone in the family being hurt sends shivers down his spine—

Also, while I was sketching him, I thought about how he would really dislike his 'new hand' at the beginning. Like, I even imagined the moment with apartment 13 where the wall asks to be fed a hand and then Clint and Sam are like::

-" . . . wait what if—"

-"Clint, NO— D:<"

-"WHY NOT, SAM??? >:("

Damn, I think their interactions would be like typical brothers relationship in a family—

SORRY THIS IS JUST A FUNNY SKETCH FROM MY HEAD. AHEM. NEXT—

Madison!!!

ISN'T SHE A SWEET CARING MOOOMMM??? — I think she would try to take care of all the children and teenagers she could find lol. I also think she might be acquainted with Harriet, so if Sophie came, she would take good care of her.

Actually, I think she and Sam would have a lot in common. So I think They would be households besties or something :D It's would be pretty funny :3

SO— NEEEXT

I didn't make separate sketches for each child in this family. I think everything is clear with them.

Rosie could be a danger in terms of spreading tooth blight. She is very small and all she has on her mind is tasting everything she sees. And in this case, biting.

Joel would be almost no different from the original. The only difference is that he is no orphan now :D

Benjamin. I've thought of many headcanons for him, especially since he was given so little time in the game. Especially since all this time makes me cry for this little one ╥﹏╥

I think Joel and Ben would constantly argue about something. And it absolutely doesn't matter what it's about, even if it's some trifles.

I could say more about all of this if there wasn't already a lot of text here

So, as a conclusion, I'll throw in another sketch

Yes, I think that against the background of such naive sweethearts as Madison and Sam, Clint would seem like a very, very stern man suspecting absolutely everyone.

... Okay, now that I've thought about it, maybe MAAYYBEEE Clint has gone a little bit crazy after all.. little bit 🤏🤏🤏🤏

Note to blog, you can not put eyeliner over teeth..

Specially if the teeth are growing where a eyelid is at.

.. really close to trying to pluck it off.

@sams-home-33

[madison-apt32]

Hello..... I got some bad news unfortunately-

- @sams-home-33

" Mm? Oh it's you!....Also..bad news?"

" ...Is the mailbox broken..? Or did I forget to give you my key for the mailbox downstairs? "

[sams-home-33]

Nope... I can't without going outside-

[madison-apt32]

" ....Outside?? Am aware? Is it thundering? "

[ Madison snorts thinking her neighbor is afraid of rain or something before she side steps warmly inviting him inside ]

[ it feels eerily cold inside the apartment but she seemed to not care exactly even if she's fidgeting with her cardigan ]

" I swore it said it'd be warm all week! Had planned to take the boys to the public pool too..and Rosie. "

[ she sighs in defeat before looking back up at sam ]

[sams-home-33]

No.... There's some- thing- outside transforming everybody-

Just- uh- . . . .

*He falls quite, knowing that he sounds insane-*

*he steps inside the apartment, thankfully the sweater helps!*

[madison-apt32]

[ Madison looked confused thinking he might be coming down with something, she pats his shoulder before closing the door ]

" Haha..Yea right.."

" Well..If something dangerous is happening outside am assuming your fine or..did something happen? "

" Actually hold that thought. "

[ she heard the cries of Rosie again. Just now remembering she was in the middle of getting Rosie her food and exited the living room to tend to the infant. ]

[ ...She's gone! Look around? ]

> yes

> no

[sams-home-33]

Uhh huh .... Yeah I'm fine-

*He shudders at the sound of the baby crying- that sound has always given him the chills-*

. . . . .

*he rubs the back of his head awkwardly and starts looking around!*

[madison-apt32]

[ there's not much out of place, other then the cries that sounded chattery and warped at the lowest of volumes ]

[ then again your not the one having to care for a infant. But focusing more on the living room it looks warm.. welcoming. That's what you'd expect from a family home right? ]

[ photos of her current 3 children, all look like they have been taken at early times except for Rosie's. ]

[ There's some toys scattered as well. Army looking toys, a tank.. scattered soldiers. And a few others still in the packaging that haven't been taken out yet ]

[ Wood creaked with each step. Before a door swings back open and slammed closed. Madison was sweating visibly and panicked!.. ]

[ what could have possibly happened in that room..? ]

[sams-home-33]

*he's owned out for a moment, particularly at the army toys- before immediately flinching, tensing up and immediately turning to Madison-*

Wha- what's wrong!?

[madison-apt32]

" That's...that's.."

[ It's hard to tell what she exactly saw but it was enough to make her just slowly slide down to the floor ]

" I..she's..is she sick? I don't remember her having any illness or any signs of it I..I.. "

[ She looked up, visibly terrified trying to calm down given she didn't want this to the absolute first impression her neighbor had of her ]

" Y..You said there was something going on outside? Oh god..I should have closed the blinds if whatever you said was true ..SHES..SHES .there's...so many ..teeth.!! "

[ She wailed and winced fanning her face feeling her eyes burn from holding back tears ]

[sams-home-33]

*his eyes widened as he took in a sharp breath*

Oh god-

. . . . . Y-yeah....

*he slowly walks up to her, crouching down besides her-*

Did something- happen-

*he pauses, he doesn't even know what to say, he just feels a deep sinking weight in his stomach and heart....*

[madison-apt32]

" I left her in her crib that has the window and the curtains open!! "

[ she practically screams and freaked out harder hearing the chittering noise of what use to be Rosie's babble ]

" What have I done?? I left her in the room for a few minutes..WHAT DO I DO?! "

[ She doesn't know how to explain this to Clint let alone to her two other kids before she paused ]

" They're.."

[ she trailed off, it's visible with her expression her world is crumbling actively in the most emotionally damaging way possible. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He freezes, taking a step back, his mind slowly stuttering- I don't know how to handle this- I don't know how to comfort-*

I-i. . . .

*do something do something do something-*

Where are they- I can- I can go try to find them-!?

[madison-apt32]

" I..They left to go to the dentist I.. "

[ She just stood up, breathing hard and shivering and pacing. ]

" They should be...fine right?! "

[ She looked bad news away from bursting into tears ]

" Wehh..!! This is horrible !"

[ she just sighs moving away from the floor having to sit down again on a nearby chair just to get back up out of being frantic ]

" ...Am...so sorry you had to see me...like this? I.."

[ she kept itching her neck before she kept pacing like crazy. Exhaling heavily ]

" Is....is there anything I can do for you?? "

[ she honestly needed anything to do right now to stop her from losing her mind even more ]

[sams-home-33]

*he quietly listens, nodding and walking along with her actually-*

I uh- . . . . . .uhhhh, I guess we can try to board the windows in your house without looking outside-? Why don't we at least try something for it-

[madison-apt32]

" I don't think Mr Henderson wouldn't too nice about boarding windows.. "

[ She stopped pacing looking up, wincing a little as she itched her collar bone ]

" I could...uh.. "

[ And...more pacing...pacing ]

" What about duck tape?? "

[ She's already digging in drawers for a pair of scissors and tape. Sure she wasn't sure how she's gonna explain to Clint and the kids when they come home ]

[ that's IF.. they come back in one piece ]

[ Search...search. She found at least 8 rolls of duck tape ]

" I hope this doesn't make the both of us look insane.. "

[ she brushed her hair back and fixed her heart locket. Taking it off and setting it in her pocket ]

[sams-home-33]

*He quietly watches*

Yeah that would work.....

*he grabs a roll of duct tape and starts pulling it out-*

We can't be more insane than the people who are cursed...

*he gave a nervous yet comforting smile, tilting his head slightly with a sense of irony....*

[madison-apt32]

[ finding scissors she starts cutting moderate pieces and taped the sides of the curtains to the window ]

[ being as physically careful as she could to duck tape the window itself closed by taping the mechanism that unlocks down ]

[ She seemed nervous about even putting anything on her curtains but then again...she's been meaning to get new ones ]

[ but that'll have to wait ]

" Do you need some scissors or are you able to rip the tape on your own? "

[ she glanced at Sam a few times waiting on a reply while moving past him twice already ]

[sams-home-33]

*hi I'm ripping the tape with my teeth casually 💜*

Oh- nuh uh-

*he starts quietly closing up the windows as well! Immediately gets to taping shut the window curtains-*

[sams-home-33]

*He glances over at Madison here and there .. making sure she's doing okay*

[madison-apt32]

[ she has stopped moving for the past 20 minutes just staring at one of the mirrors in the living room. Dragging one finger across her collar bone. ]

[ She recoiled feeling something prick her finger, which also snapped her back for reality ]

" H..Huh? Did we finish duck taping? "

[ she seemed to be out of it, then again any mother or parent would freak out seeing the baby actively turn into a teeth looking hulk Infront of their eyes ]

" ... "

[sams-home-33]

Madison- oh- us yeah..! Yeah where done in here .... Are you feeling okay..?

[madison-apt32]

" Am..Am fine! Nice and dandy see! "

[ she turned around, itching her neck. Before she fixed her sweater which did honestly nothing given there's a red stain spreading from her side ]

" I think might have slipped down worry am fine!! "

[ ...You could barely catch a glimpse of teeth creeping from the side of her shoulder. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He gasped- eye widening as he stared where he saw the teeth-*

M-madison- you have- teeth on you-

*He shivers, goosebumps spreading on his body as he takes a step back...*

[madison-apt32]

" Yea...? We all have teeth where our mouth is– "

[ she paused looked down, back up.. then back down ]

" That...That is not normal! "

[ she stared before trying to shake off the nervous twitch in her system ]

" Ok so I may have forgot to say I did kinda see out the window for a tiny short second or two?? This isn't infectious right? "

[ it didn't seem to be infesting quickly and she didn't look like she was losing her mind completely]

[ She recoiled visibly since only now she mentally caught on to the condition she's in ]

[sams-home-33]

*taking a sharp breath, wincing visibly-*

I don't know- God I hope not. . . .

*blink blink-*

I mean you seem to be doing fine so far-? I think it'll be alright-

[madison-apt32]

" U...Uhuh..."

[ She looked so tired as she went near the sink to get herself a cup of water. Leaning on the sink counter ]

" So...Is this whole apartment in ruins? I vaguely remember coming across a live vending machine one day...unless I was so tired.."

[ she mumbled before going to her for he to add ice cubes to her drink. Sipping it slowly, might as well try to communicate while she had her mind intact ]

" Don't know how I am going to explain this to Clint...if he even comes back at all.."

[sams-home-33]

Yeah.. from what I've seen- it's been insane honestly. . . I didn't even recognize Lyle when I saw him-.

*He rubbed the back of his head nervously- ever so slightly avoiding eye contact- he's always been off about that*

Hey let's uh- Do something nice for awhile! Play a board game maybe?

*He smiled slightly, holding out his hand as an offer-*

[madison-apt32]

" I got Jenga..and uh hungry hungry hippos since all the other board games are still in storage since most of the games we have are because the kids asked it for Christmas..Joel absolutely LOVED candy land! "

[ she snickered before walking off to go find any game in the closet, come back with at least 3 board games and she changed into a different sweater ]

" These might have dust on em...do you play any games with your uhm...uhh ."

[ she barely knew sam besides when he had a job st a place she visited occasionally, she couldn't grasp any form of idea if Sam lived alone or not ]

[sams-home-33]

*he chuckles, quietly listening, while responding here and there....*

Oh no. I don't mind dust- and uh- I don't play much beyond Super Jumplad- haha

*he looked down, slightly embarrassed-*

[madison-apt32]

[ she just paused and stared ]

" Li...Little jump lad? Ouh..Joel plays that too..am still confused on what's the hype on it, thought kids liked flappy bird or something.. "

[ She isn't fully caught up on the trending games as she sets the board games down and sat on the couch drinking the rest of her water ]

[ she winced a little hearing the rattle in the now locked room ]

" Maybe when this all blows over me and Clint can come over mm? Funny enough I haven't made close friends with any of my neighbors given you know..having to care for three kids! Not enough time to be alone myself..."

[ she starts rambling as she's setting out the game board on the coffee table ]

" Clint does mechanic work, maybe you two could bond over fixing cars...Or do you have hobbies besides video games Do you not? "

[ she smiled looking up at him waiting for a reply ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh- yeah yeah! Haha- it's..

*hand flapping hand flapping hand flapping- oh wait pause.... He abruptly shows his hands in his pockets, getting a little embarrassed-*

Uh yeah it's... A pretty decent game-

*he also winced hearing the rattling.... Oh dear-*

I don't think I really know any of my neighbors either- but it has been awful nice talking to you- ha-.

*he stayed quiet, listening to her talk*

Uhh- I don't really own a car- much less know how to fix one.... Ha- ha. . Yeah-

*he paused, uhhhhh, how do I tell this lady I don't have any hobbies other than Jumplad 😭*

. . . Uhhh-

[madison-apt32]

" .... "

[ She tilts her head unaware of how unemployed this man really was ]

" Y..You do go outside right? Like before the outside became this...? "

[ Her smile weakened as she had to nervously sip her cup before she finished setting up the game board. Or well.. the puzzle since she was better at puzzles than monopoly. ]

" Hah...haha..."

[ she wasn't gonna get weirded out by him and just went to get him a cup of juice and patted his shoulder before handing it to him ]

" It's fine..most of my hobbies are indoor hobbies too!"

[sams-home-33]

Y-yeah- I do I do-. . . . Most days-

*he just fell quiet, sitting down on the couch anxiously-*

. . . .-!!

*Oh hey he loves puzzles-*

*he gave a quiet thank you, immediately sipping on his juice- he's ngl, he hasn't had stuff like this in a while...*

Uh huh- Y-yeah....

[madison-apt32]

[ she fixed her posture and started doing the puzzle ]

[ seems like side tasks are the only thing keep her from remembering the reality of the situation]

" Honestly it was really nice for you to stay and come over here..even if we rarely speak unless we're going down the same hall every Friday when rents due.."

" Weh!! That reminds me I need to pay mr Henderson... I'll do it later. "

[ she sips her water as she starts doing one side of the puzzle ]

[ she kept tensing up looking at the door, still having the maternal urge to check in rosie even she knows if she goes in there she might not come out. ]

[ she almost looked feverish as she had to sip her water with a shaking hand she's trying to hold still ]

[sams-home-33]

*He's quietly working on the puzzle as well.. He's already comes with his juice*

Oh- Y-yeah! It's really nice to be down here honestly. I hardly talk to anybody now and days- hahah. . . Yeah. I need to pay 'em to.

*He gave a deep sigh- tensing up slightly... She's really starting to concern him honestly-*

Hey- are you feeling alright-? You dont- you don't look good at all ....

[madison-apt32]

[ she seemed to stop responding, her chest started to hurt and she couldn't focus on the puzzle anymore as she stood up smiling. It felt uncanny and forced. ]

" Well! Thank you for stopping by......Samuel?? I have to get back to caring for rosie till Clint gets back with the others! "

[ Her survival instincts have been overran by her maternal as she moved towards the locked door]

" If you...need anything, you know where to find me. "

" And I know where to look. "

[ she smiled sweetly as she walked back into the room which was now dim due to the curtains being closed in there ]

[sams-home-33]

*he immediately grew concerned-*

Madison-? Wait- but. . . .

*I thought she couldn't go in there because something bad happened to the baby..?*

*he certainly feels very sick in the stomach-*

Ohkay....

*Yeah..... Blink blink. . . .*

*he frowned deeply, something is off something is definitely wrong-*

*he sits down on the couch for now, he'll stay here, just a little longer to make sure everything's okay....*

[sams-home-33]

*He twiddled with his thumbs, slowly looking around again. . . . God he prays that Madison is okay...*

[madison-apt32]

[ Sputter.. THWACK. ]

[ The door opens. As she just silently wipes her face and closed the door behind her ]

" I had to put Rosie to...sleep sorry for the sudden walk off. "

[ The room smelled like copper and iron, abit rancid but Madison just went to the kitchen sink and washer the face and hands. ]

[ Removing her cardigan she fixed the shirt under it before rummaging in her cabinets for tweezers ]

" Do you plan on staying Samuel?..Sa...Sam! I Don't think my apartment is going to be suitable for hospitality for much longer..."

[ she winced, her grip on the tweezers tightened as she sighs ]

[sams-home-33]

*immediately stood up when the door slammed open, mustering a gentle "you fine" at her reasoning.... He cautiously followed her, staying in the doorway-*

I mean ... I don't want to just leave you alone either-. . . I wouldn't want to leave anybody just alone in this kind of situation... Even if it's incredibly unreal-

[madison-apt32]

" ....I can go with you. I don't think I have anything left to recover here. Other than maybe home supplies. "

[ she turned around having finally removed the teeth chunks, she....really did put Rosie to sleep. ]

[ she just dumps alcohol over the wounds and wrapped her arms from the wrist up to the elbow ]

[ She really looked shaken up given this apocalypse was throwing horrors beyond her recognition at her all she could do was just blink and stare. And smile ]

" I can call Clint later.."

[ She exhaled and just dumped the contents into the trash ]

[sams-home-33]

*he flinched, looking away as he became sick to the stomach..... Internally repeats to himself that the baby would have only suffered if left 'awake'. . . .*

Yeah I got uh- plenty of space in my apartment.... I don't mind you moving in- or something.... It's definitely not going to be safe here- I've seen some wild stuff happen to the other apartments...

[madison-apt32]

" G... Great! "

[ she just wandered off, grabbing her purse and car keys, it was mostly a muscle memory instinct since she usually does this exact thing whenever she leaves. ]

[ and grabbed a coat to pull on, stuffing her cardigan in her large bag ]

" Uh...Where..is..Yea right the apt 33 no? "

[ the adrenaline was still rushing through her system as she kept panting and shivering still reeling from the fact she just used a broken bed frame leg ]

[madison-apt32]

Hello..... I got some bad news unfortunately-

- @sams-home-33

" Mm? Oh it's you!....Also..bad news?"

" ...Is the mailbox broken..? Or did I forget to give you my key for the mailbox downstairs? "

[sams-home-33]

Nope... I can't without going outside-

[madison-apt32]

" ....Outside?? Am aware? Is it thundering? "

[ Madison snorts thinking her neighbor is afraid of rain or something before she side steps warmly inviting him inside ]

[ it feels eerily cold inside the apartment but she seemed to not care exactly even if she's fidgeting with her cardigan ]

" I swore it said it'd be warm all week! Had planned to take the boys to the public pool too..and Rosie. "

[ she sighs in defeat before looking back up at sam ]

[sams-home-33]

No.... There's some- thing- outside transforming everybody-

Just- uh- . . . .

*He falls quite, knowing that he sounds insane-*

*he steps inside the apartment, thankfully the sweater helps!*

[madison-apt32]

[ Madison looked confused thinking he might be coming down with something, she pats his shoulder before closing the door ]

" Haha..Yea right.."

" Well..If something dangerous is happening outside am assuming your fine or..did something happen? "

" Actually hold that thought. "

[ she heard the cries of Rosie again. Just now remembering she was in the middle of getting Rosie her food and exited the living room to tend to the infant. ]

[ ...She's gone! Look around? ]

> yes

> no

[sams-home-33]

Uhh huh .... Yeah I'm fine-

*He shudders at the sound of the baby crying- that sound has always given him the chills-*

. . . . .

*he rubs the back of his head awkwardly and starts looking around!*

[madison-apt32]

[ there's not much out of place, other then the cries that sounded chattery and warped at the lowest of volumes ]

[ then again your not the one having to care for a infant. But focusing more on the living room it looks warm.. welcoming. That's what you'd expect from a family home right? ]

[ photos of her current 3 children, all look like they have been taken at early times except for Rosie's. ]

[ There's some toys scattered as well. Army looking toys, a tank.. scattered soldiers. And a few others still in the packaging that haven't been taken out yet ]

[ Wood creaked with each step. Before a door swings back open and slammed closed. Madison was sweating visibly and panicked!.. ]

[ what could have possibly happened in that room..? ]

[sams-home-33]

*he's owned out for a moment, particularly at the army toys- before immediately flinching, tensing up and immediately turning to Madison-*

Wha- what's wrong!?

[madison-apt32]

" That's...that's.."

[ It's hard to tell what she exactly saw but it was enough to make her just slowly slide down to the floor ]

" I..she's..is she sick? I don't remember her having any illness or any signs of it I..I.. "

[ She looked up, visibly terrified trying to calm down given she didn't want this to the absolute first impression her neighbor had of her ]

" Y..You said there was something going on outside? Oh god..I should have closed the blinds if whatever you said was true ..SHES..SHES .there's...so many ..teeth.!! "

[ She wailed and winced fanning her face feeling her eyes burn from holding back tears ]

[sams-home-33]

*his eyes widened as he took in a sharp breath*

Oh god-

. . . . . Y-yeah....

*he slowly walks up to her, crouching down besides her-*

Did something- happen-

*he pauses, he doesn't even know what to say, he just feels a deep sinking weight in his stomach and heart....*

[madison-apt32]

" I left her in her crib that has the window and the curtains open!! "

[ she practically screams and freaked out harder hearing the chittering noise of what use to be Rosie's babble ]

" What have I done?? I left her in the room for a few minutes..WHAT DO I DO?! "

[ She doesn't know how to explain this to Clint let alone to her two other kids before she paused ]

" They're.."

[ she trailed off, it's visible with her expression her world is crumbling actively in the most emotionally damaging way possible. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He freezes, taking a step back, his mind slowly stuttering- I don't know how to handle this- I don't know how to comfort-*

I-i. . . .

*do something do something do something-*

Where are they- I can- I can go try to find them-!?

[madison-apt32]

" I..They left to go to the dentist I.. "

[ She just stood up, breathing hard and shivering and pacing. ]

" They should be...fine right?! "

[ She looked bad news away from bursting into tears ]

" Wehh..!! This is horrible !"

[ she just sighs moving away from the floor having to sit down again on a nearby chair just to get back up out of being frantic ]

" ...Am...so sorry you had to see me...like this? I.."

[ she kept itching her neck before she kept pacing like crazy. Exhaling heavily ]

" Is....is there anything I can do for you?? "

[ she honestly needed anything to do right now to stop her from losing her mind even more ]

[sams-home-33]

*he quietly listens, nodding and walking along with her actually-*

I uh- . . . . . .uhhhh, I guess we can try to board the windows in your house without looking outside-? Why don't we at least try something for it-

[madison-apt32]

" I don't think Mr Henderson wouldn't too nice about boarding windows.. "

[ She stopped pacing looking up, wincing a little as she itched her collar bone ]

" I could...uh.. "

[ And...more pacing...pacing ]

" What about duck tape?? "

[ She's already digging in drawers for a pair of scissors and tape. Sure she wasn't sure how she's gonna explain to Clint and the kids when they come home ]

[ that's IF.. they come back in one piece ]

[ Search...search. She found at least 8 rolls of duck tape ]

" I hope this doesn't make the both of us look insane.. "

[ she brushed her hair back and fixed her heart locket. Taking it off and setting it in her pocket ]

[sams-home-33]

*He quietly watches*

Yeah that would work.....

*he grabs a roll of duct tape and starts pulling it out-*

We can't be more insane than the people who are cursed...

*he gave a nervous yet comforting smile, tilting his head slightly with a sense of irony....*

[madison-apt32]

[ finding scissors she starts cutting moderate pieces and taped the sides of the curtains to the window ]

[ being as physically careful as she could to duck tape the window itself closed by taping the mechanism that unlocks down ]

[ She seemed nervous about even putting anything on her curtains but then again...she's been meaning to get new ones ]

[ but that'll have to wait ]

" Do you need some scissors or are you able to rip the tape on your own? "

[ she glanced at Sam a few times waiting on a reply while moving past him twice already ]

[sams-home-33]

*hi I'm ripping the tape with my teeth casually 💜*

Oh- nuh uh-

*he starts quietly closing up the windows as well! Immediately gets to taping shut the window curtains-*

[sams-home-33]

*He glances over at Madison here and there .. making sure she's doing okay*

[madison-apt32]

[ she has stopped moving for the past 20 minutes just staring at one of the mirrors in the living room. Dragging one finger across her collar bone. ]

[ She recoiled feeling something prick her finger, which also snapped her back for reality ]

" H..Huh? Did we finish duck taping? "

[ she seemed to be out of it, then again any mother or parent would freak out seeing the baby actively turn into a teeth looking hulk Infront of their eyes ]

" ... "

[sams-home-33]

Madison- oh- us yeah..! Yeah where done in here .... Are you feeling okay..?

[madison-apt32]

" Am..Am fine! Nice and dandy see! "

[ she turned around, itching her neck. Before she fixed her sweater which did honestly nothing given there's a red stain spreading from her side ]

" I think might have slipped down worry am fine!! "

[ ...You could barely catch a glimpse of teeth creeping from the side of her shoulder. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He gasped- eye widening as he stared where he saw the teeth-*

M-madison- you have- teeth on you-

*He shivers, goosebumps spreading on his body as he takes a step back...*

[madison-apt32]

" Yea...? We all have teeth where our mouth is– "

[ she paused looked down, back up.. then back down ]

" That...That is not normal! "

[ she stared before trying to shake off the nervous twitch in her system ]

" Ok so I may have forgot to say I did kinda see out the window for a tiny short second or two?? This isn't infectious right? "

[ it didn't seem to be infesting quickly and she didn't look like she was losing her mind completely]

[ She recoiled visibly since only now she mentally caught on to the condition she's in ]

[sams-home-33]

*taking a sharp breath, wincing visibly-*

I don't know- God I hope not. . . .

*blink blink-*

I mean you seem to be doing fine so far-? I think it'll be alright-

[madison-apt32]

" U...Uhuh..."

[ She looked so tired as she went near the sink to get herself a cup of water. Leaning on the sink counter ]

" So...Is this whole apartment in ruins? I vaguely remember coming across a live vending machine one day...unless I was so tired.."

[ she mumbled before going to her for he to add ice cubes to her drink. Sipping it slowly, might as well try to communicate while she had her mind intact ]

" Don't know how I am going to explain this to Clint...if he even comes back at all.."

[sams-home-33]

Yeah.. from what I've seen- it's been insane honestly. . . I didn't even recognize Lyle when I saw him-.

*He rubbed the back of his head nervously- ever so slightly avoiding eye contact- he's always been off about that*

Hey let's uh- Do something nice for awhile! Play a board game maybe?

*He smiled slightly, holding out his hand as an offer-*

[madison-apt32]

" I got Jenga..and uh hungry hungry hippos since all the other board games are still in storage since most of the games we have are because the kids asked it for Christmas..Joel absolutely LOVED candy land! "

[ she snickered before walking off to go find any game in the closet, come back with at least 3 board games and she changed into a different sweater ]

" These might have dust on em...do you play any games with your uhm...uhh ."

[ she barely knew sam besides when he had a job st a place she visited occasionally, she couldn't grasp any form of idea if Sam lived alone or not ]

[sams-home-33]

*he chuckles, quietly listening, while responding here and there....*

Oh no. I don't mind dust- and uh- I don't play much beyond Super Jumplad- haha

*he looked down, slightly embarrassed-*

[madison-apt32]

[ she just paused and stared ]

" Li...Little jump lad? Ouh..Joel plays that too..am still confused on what's the hype on it, thought kids liked flappy bird or something.. "

[ She isn't fully caught up on the trending games as she sets the board games down and sat on the couch drinking the rest of her water ]

[ she winced a little hearing the rattle in the now locked room ]

" Maybe when this all blows over me and Clint can come over mm? Funny enough I haven't made close friends with any of my neighbors given you know..having to care for three kids! Not enough time to be alone myself..."

[ she starts rambling as she's setting out the game board on the coffee table ]

" Clint does mechanic work, maybe you two could bond over fixing cars...Or do you have hobbies besides video games Do you not? "

[ she smiled looking up at him waiting for a reply ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh- yeah yeah! Haha- it's..

*hand flapping hand flapping hand flapping- oh wait pause.... He abruptly shows his hands in his pockets, getting a little embarrassed-*

Uh yeah it's... A pretty decent game-

*he also winced hearing the rattling.... Oh dear-*

I don't think I really know any of my neighbors either- but it has been awful nice talking to you- ha-.

*he stayed quiet, listening to her talk*

Uhh- I don't really own a car- much less know how to fix one.... Ha- ha. . Yeah-

*he paused, uhhhhh, how do I tell this lady I don't have any hobbies other than Jumplad 😭*

. . . Uhhh-

[madison-apt32]

" .... "

[ She tilts her head unaware of how unemployed this man really was ]

" Y..You do go outside right? Like before the outside became this...? "

[ Her smile weakened as she had to nervously sip her cup before she finished setting up the game board. Or well.. the puzzle since she was better at puzzles than monopoly. ]

" Hah...haha..."

[ she wasn't gonna get weirded out by him and just went to get him a cup of juice and patted his shoulder before handing it to him ]

" It's fine..most of my hobbies are indoor hobbies too!"

[sams-home-33]

Y-yeah- I do I do-. . . . Most days-

*he just fell quiet, sitting down on the couch anxiously-*

. . . .-!!

*Oh hey he loves puzzles-*

*he gave a quiet thank you, immediately sipping on his juice- he's ngl, he hasn't had stuff like this in a while...*

Uh huh- Y-yeah....

[madison-apt32]

[ she fixed her posture and started doing the puzzle ]

[ seems like side tasks are the only thing keep her from remembering the reality of the situation]

" Honestly it was really nice for you to stay and come over here..even if we rarely speak unless we're going down the same hall every Friday when rents due.."

" Weh!! That reminds me I need to pay mr Henderson... I'll do it later. "

[ she sips her water as she starts doing one side of the puzzle ]

[ she kept tensing up looking at the door, still having the maternal urge to check in rosie even she knows if she goes in there she might not come out. ]

[ she almost looked feverish as she had to sip her water with a shaking hand she's trying to hold still ]

[sams-home-33]

*He's quietly working on the puzzle as well.. He's already comes with his juice*

Oh- Y-yeah! It's really nice to be down here honestly. I hardly talk to anybody now and days- hahah. . . Yeah. I need to pay 'em to.

*He gave a deep sigh- tensing up slightly... She's really starting to concern him honestly-*

Hey- are you feeling alright-? You dont- you don't look good at all ....

[madison-apt32]

[ she seemed to stop responding, her chest started to hurt and she couldn't focus on the puzzle anymore as she stood up smiling. It felt uncanny and forced. ]

" Well! Thank you for stopping by......Samuel?? I have to get back to caring for rosie till Clint gets back with the others! "

[ Her survival instincts have been overran by her maternal as she moved towards the locked door]

" If you...need anything, you know where to find me. "

" And I know where to look. "

[ she smiled sweetly as she walked back into the room which was now dim due to the curtains being closed in there ]

[sams-home-33]

*he immediately grew concerned-*

Madison-? Wait- but. . . .

*I thought she couldn't go in there because something bad happened to the baby..?*

*he certainly feels very sick in the stomach-*

Ohkay....

*Yeah..... Blink blink. . . .*

*he frowned deeply, something is off something is definitely wrong-*

*he sits down on the couch for now, he'll stay here, just a little longer to make sure everything's okay....*

[sams-home-33]

*He twiddled with his thumbs, slowly looking around again. . . . God he prays that Madison is okay...*

[madison-apt32]

[ The door opens. As she just silently wipes her face and closed the door behind her ]

*he looked down, slightly embarrassed-*

[madison-apt32]

[ she just paused and stared ]

" Li...Little jump lad? Ouh..Joel plays that too..am still confused on what's the hype on it, thought kids liked flappy bird or something.. "

[ She isn't fully caught up on the trending games as she sets the board games down and sat on the couch drinking the rest of her water ]

[ she winced a little hearing the rattle in the now locked room ]

" Maybe when this all blows over me and Clint can come over mm? Funny enough I haven't made close friends with any of my neighbors given you know..having to care for three kids! Not enough time to be alone myself..."

[ she starts rambling as she's setting out the game board on the coffee table ]

" Clint does mechanic work, maybe you two could bond over fixing cars...Or do you have hobbies besides video games Do you not? "

[ she smiled looking up at him waiting for a reply ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh- yeah yeah! Haha- it's..

*hand flapping hand flapping hand flapping- oh wait pause.... He abruptly shows his hands in his pockets, getting a little embarrassed-*

Uh yeah it's... A pretty decent game-

*he also winced hearing the rattling.... Oh dear-*

I don't think I really know any of my neighbors either- but it has been awful nice talking to you- ha-.

*he stayed quiet, listening to her talk*

Uhh- I don't really own a car- much less know how to fix one.... Ha- ha. . Yeah-

*he paused, uhhhhh, how do I tell this lady I don't have any hobbies other than Jumplad 😭*

. . . Uhhh-

[madison-apt32]

" .... "

[ She tilts her head unaware of how unemployed this man really was ]

" Y..You do go outside right? Like before the outside became this...? "

[ Her smile weakened as she had to nervously sip her cup before she finished setting up the game board. Or well.. the puzzle since she was better at puzzles than monopoly. ]

" Hah...haha..."

[ she wasn't gonna get weirded out by him and just went to get him a cup of juice and patted his shoulder before handing it to him ]

" It's fine..most of my hobbies are indoor hobbies too!"

[sams-home-33]

Y-yeah- I do I do-. . . . Most days-

*he just fell quiet, sitting down on the couch anxiously-*

. . . .-!!

*Oh hey he loves puzzles-*

*he gave a quiet thank you, immediately sipping on his juice- he's ngl, he hasn't had stuff like this in a while...*

Uh huh- Y-yeah....

[madison-apt32]

[ she fixed her posture and started doing the puzzle ]

[ seems like side tasks are the only thing keep her from remembering the reality of the situation]

" Honestly it was really nice for you to stay and come over here..even if we rarely speak unless we're going down the same hall every Friday when rents due.."

" Weh!! That reminds me I need to pay mr Henderson... I'll do it later. "

[ she sips her water as she starts doing one side of the puzzle ]

[ she kept tensing up looking at the door, still having the maternal urge to check in rosie even she knows if she goes in there she might not come out. ]

[ she almost looked feverish as she had to sip her water with a shaking hand she's trying to hold still ]

[sams-home-33]

*He's quietly working on the puzzle as well.. He's already comes with his juice*

Oh- Y-yeah! It's really nice to be down here honestly. I hardly talk to anybody now and days- hahah. . . Yeah. I need to pay 'em to.

*He gave a deep sigh- tensing up slightly... She's really starting to concern him honestly-*

Hey- are you feeling alright-? You dont- you don't look good at all ....

[madison-apt32]

[ she seemed to stop responding, her chest started to hurt and she couldn't focus on the puzzle anymore as she stood up smiling. It felt uncanny and forced. ]

" Well! Thank you for stopping by......Samuel?? I have to get back to caring for rosie till Clint gets back with the others! "

[ Her survival instincts have been overran by her maternal as she moved towards the locked door]

" If you...need anything, you know where to find me. "

" And I know where to look. "

[ she smiled sweetly as she walked back into the room which was now dim due to the curtains being closed in there ]

[sams-home-33]

*he immediately grew concerned-*

Madison-? Wait- but. . . .

*I thought she couldn't go in there because something bad happened to the baby..?*

*he certainly feels very sick in the stomach-*

Ohkay....

*Yeah..... Blink blink. . . .*

*he frowned deeply, something is off something is definitely wrong-*

*he sits down on the couch for now, he'll stay here, just a little longer to make sure everything's okay....*

[sams-home-33]

*He twiddled with his thumbs, slowly looking around again. . . . God he prays that Madison is okay...*

[madison-apt32]

[ Sputter.. THWACK. ]

[ The door opens. As she just silently wipes her face and closed the door behind her ]

" I had to put Rosie to...sleep sorry for the sudden walk off. "

[ The room smelled like copper and iron, abit rancid but Madison just went to the kitchen sink and washer the face and hands. ]

[ Removing her cardigan she fixed the shirt under it before rummaging in her cabinets for tweezers ]

" Do you plan on staying Samuel?..Sa...Sam! I Don't think my apartment is going to be suitable for hospitality for much longer..."

[ she winced, her grip on the tweezers tightened as she sighs ]

[madison-apt32]

Hello..... I got some bad news unfortunately-

- @sams-home-33

" Mm? Oh it's you!....Also..bad news?"

" ...Is the mailbox broken..? Or did I forget to give you my key for the mailbox downstairs? "

[sams-home-33]

Nope... I can't without going outside-

[madison-apt32]

" ....Outside?? Am aware? Is it thundering? "

[ Madison snorts thinking her neighbor is afraid of rain or something before she side steps warmly inviting him inside ]

[ it feels eerily cold inside the apartment but she seemed to not care exactly even if she's fidgeting with her cardigan ]

" I swore it said it'd be warm all week! Had planned to take the boys to the public pool too..and Rosie. "

[ she sighs in defeat before looking back up at sam ]

[sams-home-33]

No.... There's some- thing- outside transforming everybody-

Just- uh- . . . .

*He falls quite, knowing that he sounds insane-*

*he steps inside the apartment, thankfully the sweater helps!*

[madison-apt32]

[ Madison looked confused thinking he might be coming down with something, she pats his shoulder before closing the door ]

" Haha..Yea right.."

" Well..If something dangerous is happening outside am assuming your fine or..did something happen? "

" Actually hold that thought. "

[ she heard the cries of Rosie again. Just now remembering she was in the middle of getting Rosie her food and exited the living room to tend to the infant. ]

[ ...She's gone! Look around? ]

> yes

> no

[sams-home-33]

Uhh huh .... Yeah I'm fine-

*He shudders at the sound of the baby crying- that sound has always given him the chills-*

. . . . .

*he rubs the back of his head awkwardly and starts looking around!*

[madison-apt32]

[ there's not much out of place, other then the cries that sounded chattery and warped at the lowest of volumes ]

[ then again your not the one having to care for a infant. But focusing more on the living room it looks warm.. welcoming. That's what you'd expect from a family home right? ]

[ photos of her current 3 children, all look like they have been taken at early times except for Rosie's. ]

[ There's some toys scattered as well. Army looking toys, a tank.. scattered soldiers. And a few others still in the packaging that haven't been taken out yet ]

[ Wood creaked with each step. Before a door swings back open and slammed closed. Madison was sweating visibly and panicked!.. ]

[ what could have possibly happened in that room..? ]

[sams-home-33]

*he's owned out for a moment, particularly at the army toys- before immediately flinching, tensing up and immediately turning to Madison-*

Wha- what's wrong!?

[madison-apt32]

" That's...that's.."

[ It's hard to tell what she exactly saw but it was enough to make her just slowly slide down to the floor ]

" I..she's..is she sick? I don't remember her having any illness or any signs of it I..I.. "

[ She looked up, visibly terrified trying to calm down given she didn't want this to the absolute first impression her neighbor had of her ]

" Y..You said there was something going on outside? Oh god..I should have closed the blinds if whatever you said was true ..SHES..SHES .there's...so many ..teeth.!! "

[ She wailed and winced fanning her face feeling her eyes burn from holding back tears ]

[sams-home-33]

*his eyes widened as he took in a sharp breath*

Oh god-

. . . . . Y-yeah....

*he slowly walks up to her, crouching down besides her-*

Did something- happen-

*he pauses, he doesn't even know what to say, he just feels a deep sinking weight in his stomach and heart....*

[madison-apt32]

" I left her in her crib that has the window and the curtains open!! "

[ she practically screams and freaked out harder hearing the chittering noise of what use to be Rosie's babble ]

" What have I done?? I left her in the room for a few minutes..WHAT DO I DO?! "

[ She doesn't know how to explain this to Clint let alone to her two other kids before she paused ]

" They're.."

[ she trailed off, it's visible with her expression her world is crumbling actively in the most emotionally damaging way possible. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He freezes, taking a step back, his mind slowly stuttering- I don't know how to handle this- I don't know how to comfort-*

I-i. . . .

*do something do something do something-*

Where are they- I can- I can go try to find them-!?

[madison-apt32]

" I..They left to go to the dentist I.. "

[ She just stood up, breathing hard and shivering and pacing. ]

" They should be...fine right?! "

[ She looked bad news away from bursting into tears ]

" Wehh..!! This is horrible !"

[ she just sighs moving away from the floor having to sit down again on a nearby chair just to get back up out of being frantic ]

" ...Am...so sorry you had to see me...like this? I.."

[ she kept itching her neck before she kept pacing like crazy. Exhaling heavily ]

" Is....is there anything I can do for you?? "

[ she honestly needed anything to do right now to stop her from losing her mind even more ]

[sams-home-33]

*he quietly listens, nodding and walking along with her actually-*

I uh- . . . . . .uhhhh, I guess we can try to board the windows in your house without looking outside-? Why don't we at least try something for it-

[madison-apt32]

" I don't think Mr Henderson wouldn't too nice about boarding windows.. "

[ She stopped pacing looking up, wincing a little as she itched her collar bone ]

" I could...uh.. "

[ And...more pacing...pacing ]

" What about duck tape?? "

[ She's already digging in drawers for a pair of scissors and tape. Sure she wasn't sure how she's gonna explain to Clint and the kids when they come home ]

[ that's IF.. they come back in one piece ]

[ Search...search. She found at least 8 rolls of duck tape ]

" I hope this doesn't make the both of us look insane.. "

[ she brushed her hair back and fixed her heart locket. Taking it off and setting it in her pocket ]

[sams-home-33]

*He quietly watches*

Yeah that would work.....

*he grabs a roll of duct tape and starts pulling it out-*

We can't be more insane than the people who are cursed...

*he gave a nervous yet comforting smile, tilting his head slightly with a sense of irony....*

[madison-apt32]

[ finding scissors she starts cutting moderate pieces and taped the sides of the curtains to the window ]

[ being as physically careful as she could to duck tape the window itself closed by taping the mechanism that unlocks down ]

[ She seemed nervous about even putting anything on her curtains but then again...she's been meaning to get new ones ]

[ but that'll have to wait ]

" Do you need some scissors or are you able to rip the tape on your own? "

[ she glanced at Sam a few times waiting on a reply while moving past him twice already ]

[sams-home-33]

*hi I'm ripping the tape with my teeth casually 💜*

Oh- nuh uh-

*he starts quietly closing up the windows as well! Immediately gets to taping shut the window curtains-*

[sams-home-33]

*He glances over at Madison here and there .. making sure she's doing okay*

[madison-apt32]

[ she has stopped moving for the past 20 minutes just staring at one of the mirrors in the living room. Dragging one finger across her collar bone. ]

[ She recoiled feeling something prick her finger, which also snapped her back for reality ]

" H..Huh? Did we finish duck taping? "

[ she seemed to be out of it, then again any mother or parent would freak out seeing the baby actively turn into a teeth looking hulk Infront of their eyes ]

" ... "

[sams-home-33]

Madison- oh- us yeah..! Yeah where done in here .... Are you feeling okay..?

[madison-apt32]

" Am..Am fine! Nice and dandy see! "

[ she turned around, itching her neck. Before she fixed her sweater which did honestly nothing given there's a red stain spreading from her side ]

" I think might have slipped down worry am fine!! "

[ ...You could barely catch a glimpse of teeth creeping from the side of her shoulder. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He gasped- eye widening as he stared where he saw the teeth-*

M-madison- you have- teeth on you-

*He shivers, goosebumps spreading on his body as he takes a step back...*

[madison-apt32]

" Yea...? We all have teeth where our mouth is– "

[ she paused looked down, back up.. then back down ]

" That...That is not normal! "

[ she stared before trying to shake off the nervous twitch in her system ]

" Ok so I may have forgot to say I did kinda see out the window for a tiny short second or two?? This isn't infectious right? "

[ it didn't seem to be infesting quickly and she didn't look like she was losing her mind completely]

[ She recoiled visibly since only now she mentally caught on to the condition she's in ]

[sams-home-33]

*taking a sharp breath, wincing visibly-*

I don't know- God I hope not. . . .

*blink blink-*

I mean you seem to be doing fine so far-? I think it'll be alright-

[madison-apt32]

" U...Uhuh..."

[ She looked so tired as she went near the sink to get herself a cup of water. Leaning on the sink counter ]

" So...Is this whole apartment in ruins? I vaguely remember coming across a live vending machine one day...unless I was so tired.."

[ she mumbled before going to her for he to add ice cubes to her drink. Sipping it slowly, might as well try to communicate while she had her mind intact ]

" Don't know how I am going to explain this to Clint...if he even comes back at all.."

[sams-home-33]

Yeah.. from what I've seen- it's been insane honestly. . . I didn't even recognize Lyle when I saw him-.

*He rubbed the back of his head nervously- ever so slightly avoiding eye contact- he's always been off about that*

Hey let's uh- Do something nice for awhile! Play a board game maybe?

*He smiled slightly, holding out his hand as an offer-*

[madison-apt32]

" I got Jenga..and uh hungry hungry hippos since all the other board games are still in storage since most of the games we have are because the kids asked it for Christmas..Joel absolutely LOVED candy land! "

[ she snickered before walking off to go find any game in the closet, come back with at least 3 board games and she changed into a different sweater ]

" These might have dust on em...do you play any games with your uhm...uhh ."

[ she barely knew sam besides when he had a job st a place she visited occasionally, she couldn't grasp any form of idea if Sam lived alone or not ]

[sams-home-33]

*he chuckles, quietly listening, while responding here and there....*

Oh no. I don't mind dust- and uh- I don't play much beyond Super Jumplad- haha

*he looked down, slightly embarrassed-*

[madison-apt32]

[ she just paused and stared ]

" Li...Little jump lad? Ouh..Joel plays that too..am still confused on what's the hype on it, thought kids liked flappy bird or something.. "

[ She isn't fully caught up on the trending games as she sets the board games down and sat on the couch drinking the rest of her water ]

[ she winced a little hearing the rattle in the now locked room ]

" Maybe when this all blows over me and Clint can come over mm? Funny enough I haven't made close friends with any of my neighbors given you know..having to care for three kids! Not enough time to be alone myself..."

[ she starts rambling as she's setting out the game board on the coffee table ]

" Clint does mechanic work, maybe you two could bond over fixing cars...Or do you have hobbies besides video games Do you not? "

[ she smiled looking up at him waiting for a reply ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh- yeah yeah! Haha- it's..

*hand flapping hand flapping hand flapping- oh wait pause.... He abruptly shows his hands in his pockets, getting a little embarrassed-*

Uh yeah it's... A pretty decent game-

*he also winced hearing the rattling.... Oh dear-*

I don't think I really know any of my neighbors either- but it has been awful nice talking to you- ha-.

*he stayed quiet, listening to her talk*

Uhh- I don't really own a car- much less know how to fix one.... Ha- ha. . Yeah-

*he paused, uhhhhh, how do I tell this lady I don't have any hobbies other than Jumplad 😭*

. . . Uhhh-

[madison-apt32]

" .... "

[ She tilts her head unaware of how unemployed this man really was ]

" Y..You do go outside right? Like before the outside became this...? "

[ Her smile weakened as she had to nervously sip her cup before she finished setting up the game board. Or well.. the puzzle since she was better at puzzles than monopoly. ]

" Hah...haha..."

[ she wasn't gonna get weirded out by him and just went to get him a cup of juice and patted his shoulder before handing it to him ]

" It's fine..most of my hobbies are indoor hobbies too!"

[sams-home-33]

Y-yeah- I do I do-. . . . Most days-

*he just fell quiet, sitting down on the couch anxiously-*

. . . .-!!

*Oh hey he loves puzzles-*

*he gave a quiet thank you, immediately sipping on his juice- he's ngl, he hasn't had stuff like this in a while...*

Uh huh- Y-yeah....

[madison-apt32]

[ she fixed her posture and started doing the puzzle ]

[ seems like side tasks are the only thing keep her from remembering the reality of the situation]

" Honestly it was really nice for you to stay and come over here..even if we rarely speak unless we're going down the same hall every Friday when rents due.."

" Weh!! That reminds me I need to pay mr Henderson... I'll do it later. "

[ she sips her water as she starts doing one side of the puzzle ]

[ she kept tensing up looking at the door, still having the maternal urge to check in rosie even she knows if she goes in there she might not come out. ]

Hey let's uh- Do something nice for awhile! Play a board game maybe?

*He smiled slightly, holding out his hand as an offer-*

[madison-apt32]

" I got Jenga..and uh hungry hungry hippos since all the other board games are still in storage since most of the games we have are because the kids asked it for Christmas..Joel absolutely LOVED candy land! "

[ she snickered before walking off to go find any game in the closet, come back with at least 3 board games and she changed into a different sweater ]

" These might have dust on em...do you play any games with your uhm...uhh ."

[ she barely knew sam besides when he had a job st a place she visited occasionally, she couldn't grasp any form of idea if Sam lived alone or not ]

[sams-home-33]

*he chuckles, quietly listening, while responding here and there....*

Oh no. I don't mind dust- and uh- I don't play much beyond Super Jumplad- haha

*he looked down, slightly embarrassed-*

[madison-apt32]

[ she just paused and stared ]

" Li...Little jump lad? Ouh..Joel plays that too..am still confused on what's the hype on it, thought kids liked flappy bird or something.. "

[ She isn't fully caught up on the trending games as she sets the board games down and sat on the couch drinking the rest of her water ]

[ she winced a little hearing the rattle in the now locked room ]

" Maybe when this all blows over me and Clint can come over mm? Funny enough I haven't made close friends with any of my neighbors given you know..having to care for three kids! Not enough time to be alone myself..."

[ she starts rambling as she's setting out the game board on the coffee table ]

" Clint does mechanic work, maybe you two could bond over fixing cars...Or do you have hobbies besides video games Do you not? "

[ she smiled looking up at him waiting for a reply ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh- yeah yeah! Haha- it's..

*hand flapping hand flapping hand flapping- oh wait pause.... He abruptly shows his hands in his pockets, getting a little embarrassed-*

Uh yeah it's... A pretty decent game-

*he also winced hearing the rattling.... Oh dear-*

I don't think I really know any of my neighbors either- but it has been awful nice talking to you- ha-.

*he stayed quiet, listening to her talk*

Uhh- I don't really own a car- much less know how to fix one.... Ha- ha. . Yeah-

*he paused, uhhhhh, how do I tell this lady I don't have any hobbies other than Jumplad 😭*

. . . Uhhh-

[madison-apt32]

" .... "

[ She tilts her head unaware of how unemployed this man really was ]

" Y..You do go outside right? Like before the outside became this...? "

[ Her smile weakened as she had to nervously sip her cup before she finished setting up the game board. Or well.. the puzzle since she was better at puzzles than monopoly. ]

" Hah...haha..."

[ she wasn't gonna get weirded out by him and just went to get him a cup of juice and patted his shoulder before handing it to him ]

" It's fine..most of my hobbies are indoor hobbies too!"

[sams-home-33]

Y-yeah- I do I do-. . . . Most days-

*he just fell quiet, sitting down on the couch anxiously-*

. . . .-!!

*Oh hey he loves puzzles-*

*he gave a quiet thank you, immediately sipping on his juice- he's ngl, he hasn't had stuff like this in a while...*

Uh huh- Y-yeah....

[madison-apt32]

[ she fixed her posture and started doing the puzzle ]

[ seems like side tasks are the only thing keep her from remembering the reality of the situation]

" Honestly it was really nice for you to stay and come over here..even if we rarely speak unless we're going down the same hall every Friday when rents due.."

" Weh!! That reminds me I need to pay mr Henderson... I'll do it later. "

[ she sips her water as she starts doing one side of the puzzle ]

[ she kept tensing up looking at the door, still having the maternal urge to check in rosie even she knows if she goes in there she might not come out. ]

[ she almost looked feverish as she had to sip her water with a shaking hand she's trying to hold still ]

[madison-apt32]

Hello..... I got some bad news unfortunately-

- @sams-home-33

" Mm? Oh it's you!....Also..bad news?"

" ...Is the mailbox broken..? Or did I forget to give you my key for the mailbox downstairs? "

[sams-home-33]

Nope... I can't without going outside-

[madison-apt32]

" ....Outside?? Am aware? Is it thundering? "

[ Madison snorts thinking her neighbor is afraid of rain or something before she side steps warmly inviting him inside ]

[ it feels eerily cold inside the apartment but she seemed to not care exactly even if she's fidgeting with her cardigan ]

" I swore it said it'd be warm all week! Had planned to take the boys to the public pool too..and Rosie. "

[ she sighs in defeat before looking back up at sam ]

[sams-home-33]

No.... There's some- thing- outside transforming everybody-

Just- uh- . . . .

*He falls quite, knowing that he sounds insane-*

*he steps inside the apartment, thankfully the sweater helps!*

[madison-apt32]

[ Madison looked confused thinking he might be coming down with something, she pats his shoulder before closing the door ]

" Haha..Yea right.."

" Well..If something dangerous is happening outside am assuming your fine or..did something happen? "

" Actually hold that thought. "

[ she heard the cries of Rosie again. Just now remembering she was in the middle of getting Rosie her food and exited the living room to tend to the infant. ]

[ ...She's gone! Look around? ]

> yes

> no

[sams-home-33]

Uhh huh .... Yeah I'm fine-

*He shudders at the sound of the baby crying- that sound has always given him the chills-*

. . . . .

*he rubs the back of his head awkwardly and starts looking around!*

[madison-apt32]

[ there's not much out of place, other then the cries that sounded chattery and warped at the lowest of volumes ]

[ then again your not the one having to care for a infant. But focusing more on the living room it looks warm.. welcoming. That's what you'd expect from a family home right? ]

[ photos of her current 3 children, all look like they have been taken at early times except for Rosie's. ]

[ There's some toys scattered as well. Army looking toys, a tank.. scattered soldiers. And a few others still in the packaging that haven't been taken out yet ]

[ Wood creaked with each step. Before a door swings back open and slammed closed. Madison was sweating visibly and panicked!.. ]

[ what could have possibly happened in that room..? ]

[sams-home-33]

*he's owned out for a moment, particularly at the army toys- before immediately flinching, tensing up and immediately turning to Madison-*

Wha- what's wrong!?

[madison-apt32]

" That's...that's.."

[ It's hard to tell what she exactly saw but it was enough to make her just slowly slide down to the floor ]

" I..she's..is she sick? I don't remember her having any illness or any signs of it I..I.. "

[ She looked up, visibly terrified trying to calm down given she didn't want this to the absolute first impression her neighbor had of her ]

" Y..You said there was something going on outside? Oh god..I should have closed the blinds if whatever you said was true ..SHES..SHES .there's...so many ..teeth.!! "

[ She wailed and winced fanning her face feeling her eyes burn from holding back tears ]

[sams-home-33]

*his eyes widened as he took in a sharp breath*

Oh god-

. . . . . Y-yeah....

*he slowly walks up to her, crouching down besides her-*

Did something- happen-

*he pauses, he doesn't even know what to say, he just feels a deep sinking weight in his stomach and heart....*

[madison-apt32]

" I left her in her crib that has the window and the curtains open!! "

[ she practically screams and freaked out harder hearing the chittering noise of what use to be Rosie's babble ]

" What have I done?? I left her in the room for a few minutes..WHAT DO I DO?! "

[ She doesn't know how to explain this to Clint let alone to her two other kids before she paused ]

" They're.."

[ she trailed off, it's visible with her expression her world is crumbling actively in the most emotionally damaging way possible. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He freezes, taking a step back, his mind slowly stuttering- I don't know how to handle this- I don't know how to comfort-*

I-i. . . .

*do something do something do something-*

Where are they- I can- I can go try to find them-!?

[madison-apt32]

" I..They left to go to the dentist I.. "

[ She just stood up, breathing hard and shivering and pacing. ]

" They should be...fine right?! "

[ She looked bad news away from bursting into tears ]

" Wehh..!! This is horrible !"

[ she just sighs moving away from the floor having to sit down again on a nearby chair just to get back up out of being frantic ]

" ...Am...so sorry you had to see me...like this? I.."

[ she kept itching her neck before she kept pacing like crazy. Exhaling heavily ]

" Is....is there anything I can do for you?? "

[ she honestly needed anything to do right now to stop her from losing her mind even more ]

[sams-home-33]

*he quietly listens, nodding and walking along with her actually-*

I uh- . . . . . .uhhhh, I guess we can try to board the windows in your house without looking outside-? Why don't we at least try something for it-

[madison-apt32]

" I don't think Mr Henderson wouldn't too nice about boarding windows.. "

[ She stopped pacing looking up, wincing a little as she itched her collar bone ]

" I could...uh.. "

[ And...more pacing...pacing ]

" What about duck tape?? "

[ She's already digging in drawers for a pair of scissors and tape. Sure she wasn't sure how she's gonna explain to Clint and the kids when they come home ]

[ that's IF.. they come back in one piece ]

[ Search...search. She found at least 8 rolls of duck tape ]

" I hope this doesn't make the both of us look insane.. "

[ she brushed her hair back and fixed her heart locket. Taking it off and setting it in her pocket ]

[sams-home-33]

*He quietly watches*

Yeah that would work.....

*he grabs a roll of duct tape and starts pulling it out-*

We can't be more insane than the people who are cursed...

*he gave a nervous yet comforting smile, tilting his head slightly with a sense of irony....*

[madison-apt32]

[ finding scissors she starts cutting moderate pieces and taped the sides of the curtains to the window ]

[ being as physically careful as she could to duck tape the window itself closed by taping the mechanism that unlocks down ]

[ She seemed nervous about even putting anything on her curtains but then again...she's been meaning to get new ones ]

[ but that'll have to wait ]

" Do you need some scissors or are you able to rip the tape on your own? "

[ she glanced at Sam a few times waiting on a reply while moving past him twice already ]

[sams-home-33]

*hi I'm ripping the tape with my teeth casually 💜*

Oh- nuh uh-

*he starts quietly closing up the windows as well! Immediately gets to taping shut the window curtains-*

[sams-home-33]

*He glances over at Madison here and there .. making sure she's doing okay*

[madison-apt32]

[ she has stopped moving for the past 20 minutes just staring at one of the mirrors in the living room. Dragging one finger across her collar bone. ]

[ She recoiled feeling something prick her finger, which also snapped her back for reality ]

" H..Huh? Did we finish duck taping? "

[ she seemed to be out of it, then again any mother or parent would freak out seeing the baby actively turn into a teeth looking hulk Infront of their eyes ]

" ... "

[sams-home-33]

Madison- oh- us yeah..! Yeah where done in here .... Are you feeling okay..?

[madison-apt32]

" Am..Am fine! Nice and dandy see! "

[ she turned around, itching her neck. Before she fixed her sweater which did honestly nothing given there's a red stain spreading from her side ]

" I think might have slipped down worry am fine!! "

[ ...You could barely catch a glimpse of teeth creeping from the side of her shoulder. ]

[sams-home-33]

*He gasped- eye widening as he stared where he saw the teeth-*

M-madison- you have- teeth on you-

*He shivers, goosebumps spreading on his body as he takes a step back...*

[madison-apt32]

" Yea...? We all have teeth where our mouth is– "

[ she paused looked down, back up.. then back down ]

" That...That is not normal! "

[ she stared before trying to shake off the nervous twitch in her system ]

" Ok so I may have forgot to say I did kinda see out the window for a tiny short second or two?? This isn't infectious right? "

[ it didn't seem to be infesting quickly and she didn't look like she was losing her mind completely]

[ She recoiled visibly since only now she mentally caught on to the condition she's in ]

[sams-home-33]

*taking a sharp breath, wincing visibly-*

I don't know- God I hope not. . . .

*blink blink-*

I mean you seem to be doing fine so far-? I think it'll be alright-

[madison-apt32]

" U...Uhuh..."

[ She looked so tired as she went near the sink to get herself a cup of water. Leaning on the sink counter ]

" So...Is this whole apartment in ruins? I vaguely remember coming across a live vending machine one day...unless I was so tired.."

[ she mumbled before going to her for he to add ice cubes to her drink. Sipping it slowly, might as well try to communicate while she had her mind intact ]

" Don't know how I am going to explain this to Clint...if he even comes back at all.."

[sams-home-33]

Yeah.. from what I've seen- it's been insane honestly. . . I didn't even recognize Lyle when I saw him-.

*He rubbed the back of his head nervously- ever so slightly avoiding eye contact- he's always been off about that*

Hey let's uh- Do something nice for awhile! Play a board game maybe?

*He smiled slightly, holding out his hand as an offer-*

[madison-apt32]

" I got Jenga..and uh hungry hungry hippos since all the other board games are still in storage since most of the games we have are because the kids asked it for Christmas..Joel absolutely LOVED candy land! "

[ she snickered before walking off to go find any game in the closet, come back with at least 3 board games and she changed into a different sweater ]

" These might have dust on em...do you play any games with your uhm...uhh ."

[ she barely knew sam besides when he had a job st a place she visited occasionally, she couldn't grasp any form of idea if Sam lived alone or not ]

[sams-home-33]

Oh no. I don't mind dust- and uh- I don't play much beyond Super Jumplad- haha

[ she just paused and stared ]

" Li...Little jump lad? Ouh..Joel plays that too..am still confused on what's the hype on it, thought kids liked flappy bird or something.. "

[ She isn't fully caught up on the trending games as she sets the board games down and sat on the couch drinking the rest of her water ]

[ she winced a little hearing the rattle in the now locked room ]

" Maybe when this all blows over me and Clint can come over mm? Funny enough I haven't made close friends with any of my neighbors given you know..having to care for three kids! Not enough time to be alone myself..."

[ she starts rambling as she's setting out the game board on the coffee table ]

" Clint does mechanic work, maybe you two could bond over fixing cars...Or do you have hobbies besides video games Do you not? "

[ she smiled looking up at him waiting for a reply ]
