THESE   ARE   NOT   GOOD   TIMES   TO   BE   NEAR   ME .

orel.

A lot could happen in a few months and, unfortunately for Orel, that was exactly what happened at the Puppington household.  Well, the Thing That Happened didn’t actually take place in the house– it went down in the woods– but the aftermath sure as heck had a place inside.  The twelve year old had a (literal) crutch now and it was clear from his face alone that he wasn’t nearly as happy as he was the last he saw Nny.  “I’m going to be honest with you, Nny: I haven’t felt good for a while now and I don’t see those issues going away anytime soon.”  The crutch and limp were CONSTANT reminders.  “But enough about me!  How are you feeling?  Dying couldn’t have been easy.”

❝ the hard part isn’t dying, orel,  ❞ he assures his young friend, first & foremost, as he finds it important that the kid doesn’t get the wrong ideas about things. ❝ the hard part is rising back to life & wondering what kind of shit-for-brains universe is so clearly eager to resurrect a person like you. ❞ there, it’s good to have a meaningful lesson like that out of the way — but johnny’s unease is not so quickly lifted. he may not be mentally sound, but johnny c. is no idiot: he can tell that there’s something wrong, & he knows better than most that anything could have happened in the months that he’d been absent. ❝ you got hurt, ❞ the murderer points out instead, eyeing the crutch with that paranoid gaze that used to manifest itself significantly less within this house. true to character, he explains everything with violence first, tries to see if it’ll stick. voice low, threatening, he goes on, ❝ did someone hurt you? ❞

the world is so full of terrible things, things that children should never be allowed to see, & johnny qualifies as at least half of them. generally, he’s more predisposed to show mercy to members of the human race the younger they are: the maniac loves babies, feels apathetic towards kids, dislikes teenagers, & despises nearly every single grown adult which has ever roamed upon the surface of their godforsaken planet.

still, apathy is somewhat better than hatred, especially as far as nny’s erratic mood swings are concerned. this is why he feels so inclined as to not kill the girl where she stands, & furthermore, he even coaxes himself to releasing the man he’d been pinning against the wall, who promptly scrambles away. ( pity, as that man would have died by johnny’s hand on this very night, but his full attention is actually on the child now. )

❝ i almost didn’t see you there — ! you & i both know that would’ve been an awful mess. are you trying to sneak around? ❞ he wonders if she could be in trouble of some kind, a concept he’s almost forgotten about but remains familiar to him all at once.

@themoralpuppington — liked.

he’s been visiting their household routinely for a while, now ... not necessarily because he’s welcome there, nor because he might feel that way. it’s simply something to do, people to see, & nny is just too terribly lonely not to allow himself such a treat every now & then. so, it was factored into his erratic routine — it’s been a few months since he was able to visit, though. no matter! he’s here now, & he knocks on the window to orel’s room before letting himself inside. johnny immediately announces, ❝ sorry about my absence. i simply died, & things can get awfully out of control for a while after that ... figures, i suppose. anyway, how are you feeling? ❞

@membrane-patriarch — liked.

❝ you have children, don’t you? ❞ the question is certainly rhetorical, as he’s well aware about the existence of dib & gaz, as well as their shared status of membrane kids. with this, the sociopath leans over, clearly lacking a sense of personal space ( as far as other people are concerned, that is. ) bug eyes observe whatever it is the professor is tinkering with, quickly become bored, then trail back up towards the man himself with a much more interested appearance about them. ❝ i have some questions about children that i honestly can’t think of anyone else to ask. ❞ he, himself, doesn’t even remember being a child, & the majority of people refuse to talk to him at all. if anyone can give him advice about squee, then that person will have to be professor membrane.

[maniacides]

i lived, bitch! i missed johnny & i’m not sure if i’m going to put him on the multi quite yet, but i do plan on being more active here ( filling up the queue, at least. ) i’m gonna be toning down my formatting a lot, i hope that doesn’t bother anyone!

anyway, since i’m trying to make my comeback, like this post for a starter!

seriously     bad     :

      ❛      hmm .         weeeell   ,      i       was        thinking       about            ━━━        bear      traps    ,       shark   -    infested      waters       ,         disguises       ,        pineapple     pizza      ….    ❜  

               ❝          pineapple     pizza          ?          that’s     just     revolting   .     i     like     the     way     you     think          !          although          ,          i’m     concerned     that     the     hypothetical     sharks     could     get     caught     in     the     hypothetical     bear     traps   .     make     sure     that     won’t     happen          ,          &          you     pretty     much     have     a     solid     plan   .          ❞

“Have you seen any before?”

It was meant as a rhetorical question.

“Kill you? Whatever do you mean?”

The professor keeps gesturing for the youth to climb down as he descends the ladder.

Why this strange fellow was on his roof was beyond him. Why didn’t he just sit on his own? Was he homeless, perhaps?

[maniacides]

doesn’t     understand     :

 most   would  expect  a  groan  of  pain  right  around  now  -  especially  if  someone  just  fell  out  of  a  rather  tall,  thin  tree  on  to  a  random  stranger  who  could  be  the  killer  in  town  (  an  assumption,  however  ),  late  at  night.  he  could,  but  never  will,  admit  that  not  making  sure  it  was  secure  was  not  the  brightest  idea  to  come  to  mind,  but  then  again  dib  has  suffered  a  good  amount  of  falls  and  trips  that  it’s  a causality  to  him.

but,  instead  of  whining  from  the  scrapes  that  may  or  may  not  be  on  his  knees,  he  just  wipes  at  his  glasses  and  clothes  to  clean  them  off,  all  while  he’s  still on  the  ground.  good  thing  this  man  was  here  to  break  his  fall,  or  else  the  wounds  would  have  required  more  than  just  a  few  bandages  and  alcohol.  if  that  were  to  happen,  then  who  would  be  the  one  doing  the  paranormal,  and,  as  of  now,  criminal  investigation ?  

it  seemed  dib  didn’t  notice  the  blade  that  was  directed  at  him,  too  busy  brushing  himself  off  ; a  true  reason  why  he’s  one  half  of  a  fool. he  did,  on  the  other  hand,  see  that  this  guy  was  lending  him  help  to  get  up,  to  which  dib  stared  at  him  with  an  uneasy  face.  he  couldn’t  see  much  of  the  stranger’s  appearance,  the  far  away  street  lights  only  somewhat  illuminating  a  light  on  the  cold  street.  he  can  tell  it’s  someone  way  older  than  him,  but  it  doesn’t  make  him  feel  less  on  edge  at  all.  within  mere  seconds,  he  picks  himself  up - can’t  trust  people  you  can  barely  see.

a  stern  voice.  eyebrows  darted.  time  to  answer  the  questions,  dib. just  don’t  rant.  

“  i’m  in  a  tree  because  i’m  on  a  SEARCH.  search  for  a  killer !  there’s  been  a  lot  of  it  on  the  news  lately  and  they  still  haven’t  caught  this  fiend.  you’ve  must  have  heard  about  it.  and,  i’m  not too worried  about  the  crazy  people.  the  definition  of  crazy  in  this  town  is  apparently  me,  according  to  just  about  everyone.  “  not  really  ranting,  but  still  longer  than  planned.  good  job,  this  will  probably  initiate  some  conversation  with  this  guy.

good     kid     :

Orel has probably had his hair ruffled once or twice the entire time he’s been alive so Nny doing it to show gratitude puts a big smile on the twelve-year-old’s face!  “Then consider it done— you’re coming home with me, friend!  My dad has some clothes that’ll fit you perfectly and that includes socks: cleanliness is next to godliness after all!”  His smile goes a little flat towards the end there but it’s back a second later.  “Oh, don’t worry about it: there’s plenty of food for me and my brothers!”

               it’s     strange     how     ecstatic     the     boy     becomes          ,         after    a     simple     hair     ruffle          ,          but     johnny     doesn’t     desire     to     wish     such     a     happiness     away          ---------------          especially     not     in     the     rare     moment     when     he     was     the     one     who     caused     it   .     equally     perplexing     is     that     the     child     considers     him     a     friend     already     ;          this     is     followed     by     the     more     factual     thought     that     they     do     not     know     each     other’s     names   .     disappointing          ,          but     realistic     nonetheless   .          ❝          by     the     way          ,          my     name’s     johnny          .   .   .          but     you     may     call     me     nny   .          ❞
