Am I in the fridge? Yes? Sstay away from me. Am I in the fridge? No? I hope you get losst trying to find my farm. #psocalypso ---- ((Ask and Submit will be open only when Pso is actually in the fridge, or with someone from the fridge, they will be...

psocalypso:

I wouldn’t be surprised, not many have heard of me.

… Mm, I’m… jusst sstaying at a frriend’ss housse right now. I won’t be around long.

#Sso… whatever.

Well… Do you want to get gelato like tomorrow afternoon? It’d have to be vegan gelato, if that’s okay. It’s kinda fun though, I could tell you anything since you’re leaving sometime and not have to worry.

[psocalypso]

That’ss what I got, well, part of it anywayss, nicce little placce called Fiassco. -stands and pulls hair back with a hand- Fine... meet at the edge of The Fridge tomorrow?

[rocking-rockstar]

psocalypso:

Ah…. -counts off the replies on a hand- yeah, I’m twenty, no, I have too bad sstage fright for that, three, I doubt it, and…

Milo.

Oh God, sorry, was that too much? I talk a lot so… But Milo? Hm… Yeah, maybe I haven’t heard you before. I wish I had, though. Wouldn’t mind having you on my ipod. Um… //He glances at Pso./ Do you.. want to hang out sometime? Or we could just leave this as a one night thing…

[psocalypso]

I wouldn’t be surprised, not many have heard of me.

It’ss kinda what you get. …….. -lowly sings- About time for anyone telling you off for all your deeds, No sign the roaring thunder stopped in cold to read

No time

Get mine and make no excuses waste of precious breath

No time

The sun shines on everyone, everyone love yourself to death

Hmh… You should be the one on stage singing. How old are you? Like twenty…? Pfft, you should be the one taking the spotlight when I retire. Your voice is pretty familiar too, but I’m not sure where I’ve heard you.. //He shrugs./ Whatever, it doesn’t matter. You’re good, that’s all that counts. 

What’s your name, by the way?

[psocalypso]

Ah.... -counts off the replies on a hand- yeah, I’m twenty, no, I have too bad sstage fright for that, three, I doubt it, and...

Milo.

psocalypso:

-studies his face but simply raises eyebrow again- Then let thiss fucking sstranger tell you they can at leasst play along to being a devil’ss advocate.

Fuck off. Essspeccially with that woe iss me attitude. You really think you’ll make every one in thiss world happy? Bullsshhit. Bodiess have hormoness too, you think fucking with thosse, magically or not, iss not going to messss you up a little before you feel better again? Try again. You can’t blame everything on one party, be that yoursself, another being, or a change to your body, but a combination of that if not all three allowss for the picture to be fully realizzed. In a true ssucky but factual way. One party is never fully to blame, but a grand part of it, you bet it ssometimess can be one thing, but never iss the whole painting jusst one colour.

#You’re sstupid. But it issn’t jusst you that hass ssstupid timess.

The thing is, I know it’s not just one thing. It’s difficult not to have an attitude like that when everything just piles on top of each other and just never goes away. One thing happens, then another and another and it keeps going and all I want is like one day where I don’t have to worry about myself or other people or things I’m supposed to do or things I didn’t do or have done. I need a break or I’m honestly going to snap, but a break isn’t something I can have. I can go to the most luxurious island on the planet and there will always be something wrong or chewing at my mind…

//He presses a hand to his head./ God, let’s stop talking about this. Enough of my dumb as fuck problems. Talk about yourself, like anything honestly, just talk or leave or something.

psocalypso:

Probably no where, not until morning, or ssomeone around you iss awake and hass ssome already. -looks at him and raises eyebrow- Really? Why didn’t you take the sshot at them?

Because that’s not what I want. I mean like… if they deserve it, then sure, but… //He looks at his hands./ I dunno… I’ve been getting on everyone’s nerves recently. I’m just //He shakes his head./ ..I have no idea what I am. I don’t want to be around people, I don’t want to talk because I don’t want to piss anyone else off–like I feel s o bad, but I’m trying s o hard, but it never makes a difference. And here I am telling a fucking stranger my problems… Probably going to piss you off too and I don’t even know you.

I needed air. Thought that not many would be out ssincce it’ss late. -makes a mental list of the constellations when they’re spotted- You?

I’m going to cry, where the Hell am I going to find gelato this late? //He closes his eyes./ Mm… Same actually. I’ve been just over the top stressed out and needed a breather. I also kinda feel like a major douche. I think I almost blew up at someone and I didn’t want to.

psocalypso:

-settles on the bench beside him and raises a leg to rest bent on the other- Mm, I think I’m alright. I jusst got mysself gelato not long ago.

-turns head up to look at the stars-

Really? God, now I want some. I’m like honestly salivating just thinking about it. //He covers his mouth for a moment then settles into the bench with a quiet hum./ What brings you to the outdoors? If it’s not a horrible thing to ask… //He glances up, curious as to what Pso’s viewing./ Oh, that’s cute…

-half shrugs- I can pick up a magazzine every oncce in a while. Even a glancce and one can ssee you on a few. -gags but passes it off for a tickled throat cough- Yeah… I… get that a lot. I’m insside mosstly.

//He folds his arms overtop the back of the bench and rests his head on them, yawning a bit./ Hm… You wanna sit? I have an extra water bottle if you need some. Just like chill and talk for a bit, y’know? 

[psocalypso]

[rocking-rockstar]

psocalypso:

I’ve been walking a while, I thought I’d find a place to ssit. You looked half out of resst already, Rocksstar.

Yeah well, I’m pretty exhausted these days. //He looks Pso up and down and tilts his head a bit./ So… You know who I am? Not sure if you’re a fan or anything, but.. I haven’t seen you around here before. A little unfortunate, because you’re kinda cute… 

[psocalypso]

… -leans on the back of the park bench- You know, generally people go home to take a nap.

[rocking-rockstar]

Huh…? //He sleepily looks up./ You know… generally people don’t come up to people napping on benches. //He sits up./ Do you need something?

[psocalypso]

[psocalypso]

I need to get out of the house. -puts phone beside Caly- Don’t answer it.

[caly-calypso]

I… okay…. -holds up a note- If you feel up to it, can you grab this list from the grocery store?

[psocalypso]

Mm... -takes the note, flips up sweater hood, and swiftly heads out-

[psocalypso]

I need to get out of the house. -puts phone beside Caly- Don’t answer it.

[psocalypso]

What are you going to do for the night?

Nothing.

[psocalypso]

A placce few otherss besides ssurfers know the exxact location of. Undersstand? -gradual scents of food waft around-

-rounds another bend and the clouds shield the sky off in the distance on an otherwise clear night, a small fire is settled in a pit with Ahn watching some of her other dogs play in the water- One of the few thingss I know how to make well, clamss and chipsss. It issn’t much of a ssnack for you, but A, I’m not Caly, and B, I don’t do beef. -pats Ahn when he growls low at Monster and he simply stares-

The deal with thiss iss’ssimple. If you are alright, you have my resspect. If we have a problem, you’ll have a problem.

[wicked-monster-deactivated20210]

….Aight. Simple, easy to remember.

[psocalypso]

Good.

-inhales and exhales deeply- ... -corner of her mouth twitches into almost a smirk- Now relaxx, an’ take a sseat. You can let Ahn ssniff you or elsse you and he will be having a sstaring contessst however long we sstay here. -flop-sits onto the sand and ruffles the top of Ahn’s head-

[psocalypso]

You wouldn’t want to get lossst in here. -hops through more cave-

-knocks a board out of the way around a corner and jumps out to a beach-

Keep up. -immediately kicks off shoes and slings them over a shoulder-

Wait until you meet the family. Not today, but just wait.

[wicked-monster-deactivated20210]

Woah. Where…. even is this.

No. That’s not why. -rolls eyes- You’re dating my sssisster. If I didn’t make ssome sssort of effort to get to know you or drag your assss through mud every sso often, what ssort of ssisster would I be?

-disappears into shadows behind rocks- Pluss, a ssort of reminder to never -voice comes from behind him- fucking -around to the side- messsss with hherr. -pebble stirs from where she hid- Or you won’t know what hit you. -pebble drops from above him and hits square between his eyes- … -hops down from rock ledge ahead of him and continues down the route-
