hi i’m scout!! ze/zir, agender, pan, class of 2021, lover of mysteries and secrets, SLIIIIGHTLY cursed by bliklotep (death count: 1)

[charl0ttan]

dude why do you have The Killer as your emergency contact

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

besides, it’s not like we’re strangers.

(The Watcher makes itself visible. It’s . . . Scout. Only something is wrong. Zir eyes are purple, and ze stands oddly, like a poorly-controlled puppet. It grins mirthlessly with zir mouth.)

@sightseeingscout

...Scout?

[sightseeingscout]

name’s violet. scout here stuck zir nose where it didn’t belong, and this is the consequence. a watcher with access to a human body.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

But - but the last time I was with Scout we just went to an aquarium! That's not fair!

[sightseeingscout]

oh, no, i’ve been here for a while. but ze’s really fucking done it recently.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

What - what do you mean? What happened?

[sightseeingscout]

mm...i shan’t say. it was forbidden knowledge for a reason.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose goes quiet. Then]

I don't have the energy for this

[sightseeingscout]

for what?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

You mocking me by puppeting Scout's body. Just...do whatever. I'm really tired right now

[sightseeingscout]

oh, i just wanted to show you what happened. us watchers aren’t terribly proactive.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Well, you've shown me. You can go now

[sightseeingscout]

bye, rose. sorry you’re going to clivesdale.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

heya, rose! i know it’s been a while, but, uh, how’ve you been?

@sightseeingscout

Um...not as bad as usualy but not great

[sightseeingscout]

oh. well, at least it’s better than usual.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Mhm

[sightseeingscout]

uh, things have been...mostly ok with me.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

That's um, that's good

[sightseeingscout]

yeah...i’m...sorry for offering to kill your brother the last time we talked. it’s just, you seemed really worried he might hurt you.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Oh, um, he's fine now

[sightseeingscout]

really? that’s great! :D

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Mhm!

[sightseeingscout]

um, do you wanna hang out sometime? it’s ok if not.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

I don't see why not

[sightseeingscout]

yippee! do you wanna go to the aquarium? i can pay for tickets.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Sure!

[sightseeingscout]

there’s this cool new exhibit, they have otters and you can feed them little fish!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Oh, that sounds great!

[sightseeingscout]

mhm!!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

I'll see you there!

[sightseeingscout]

see ya!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose arrives at the aquarium some time later]

[sightseeingscout]

(Scout shows up wearing a black t-shirt that says “FISH WANT ME WOMEN FEAR ME” in purple lettering.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Hi!

[sightseeingscout]

hey! i got our tickets.

(Ze pulls two tickets out of the pocket of zir cargo shorts.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Great!

[sightseeingscout]

(They head towards the entrance. At the desk is a woman with dark blue hair, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth.)

Hello, welcome to the Hatchetfield Aquarium!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose feels a little nervous about the woman]

Um, hi...

[She's starting to second guess doing this]

[sightseeingscout]

oh, hey finny! rose, have you met finny before?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Oh, finny]

Oh, yeah, I have! Finny hi!

[sightseeingscout]

(She grins, showing several rows of teeth.)

Hello again, Rose.

so why are you working at an aquarium?

I was bored.

makes sense.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose giggles a bit]

[sightseeingscout]

(Scout hands Finny their tickets, and she puts a paper wristband on zir.)

Rose, may I see your hand?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Sure

[Rose holds out her hand]

[sightseeingscout]

(She puts a wristband on her, as well.)

Have fun!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Thanks!

[sightseeingscout]

(The aquarium is . . . pretty much normal, for the most part. Except when it isn’t. Like right now. In a dark room and a dark tank, a pale, eyeless woman taps on the glass. From the inside.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose steps back nervously]

[sightseeingscout]

(The thing grins, white hair flowing around it.)

huh? what’re you looking at, ro- ...uh.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Can - can we go to the otters? Please?

[sightseeingscout]

yeah, let’s.

(The thing unhinges its jaw, revealing a thin tongue with the end shaped somewhat like a fish. Scout points at the tank.)

cut that out.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Please

[sightseeingscout]

(They leave the dark room. Eventually, they reach two doorways, one labeled “Otters” and the other labeled “Un-otters”.)

hm. well, there’s an obvious correct choice here, but the un-otters intrigue me.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Let's take a quick peak and then decide. If their dangerous we're going straight to otters

[sightseeingscout]

ok.

(They peek inside. There’s something that looks like a mix between a fish and a poorly-taxidermied chihuahua running around and snarling at guests as they scream. Finny, who somehow got there before Rose and Scout, speaks into a walkie-talkie.)

Spankoffski, we’ve got a containment breach in the Un-otters sector. I repeat, a containment breach in the Un-otters sector.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Spankoffski? Does a version of Ted or Pete work here? Rose watches, stepping back from the door]

[sightseeingscout]

(The obnoxious teen that works everywhere stumbles into the room.)

OH- oh no, I wasn’t trained for this, I- AUGH

(One of the creatures latches onto his hand.)

GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF-

(Finny tries pulling it off. Which works, albeit completely degloving his hand in the process. He screams. Scout hesitantly turns to Rose.)

...otters?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Yeah, otters

@sightseeingscout

[sightseeingscout]

(They head towards the otters, which are completely normal.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Thank goodness. Rose squeals over how cute they are]

[sightseeingscout]

(Ze can’t help but giggle as ze feeds them fish.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose feeds them too, beaming the whole time]

[sightseeingscout]

ohh my goodness. lookit them! they’re just little guys!!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

They're so cute!

[sightseeingscout]

aww, hi buddy!!

(One of them sniffs zir hand.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Aww!

[sightseeingscout]

(They stay there for a while. In an aquarium so horrific, it’s almost surprising that there’s something wholly good.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

heya, rose! i know it’s been a while, but, uh, how’ve you been?

@sightseeingscout

Um...not as bad as usualy but not great

[sightseeingscout]

[sightseeingscout]

yeah...i’m...sorry for offering to kill your brother the last time we talked. it’s just, you seemed really worried he might hurt you.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Oh, um, he's fine now

[sightseeingscout]

really? that’s great! :D

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Mhm!

[sightseeingscout]

um, do you wanna hang out sometime? it’s ok if not.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

I don't see why not

[sightseeingscout]

yippee! do you wanna go to the aquarium? i can pay for tickets.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Sure!

[sightseeingscout]

there’s this cool new exhibit, they have otters and you can feed them little fish!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Oh, that sounds great!

[sightseeingscout]

mhm!!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

I'll see you there!

[sightseeingscout]

see ya!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose arrives at the aquarium some time later]

[sightseeingscout]

(Scout shows up wearing a black t-shirt that says “FISH WANT ME WOMEN FEAR ME” in purple lettering.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Hi!

[sightseeingscout]

hey! i got our tickets.

(Ze pulls two tickets out of the pocket of zir cargo shorts.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Great!

[sightseeingscout]

(They head towards the entrance. At the desk is a woman with dark blue hair, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth.)

Hello, welcome to the Hatchetfield Aquarium!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose feels a little nervous about the woman]

Um, hi...

[She's starting to second guess doing this]

[sightseeingscout]

oh, hey finny! rose, have you met finny before?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Oh, finny]

Oh, yeah, I have! Finny hi!

[sightseeingscout]

(She grins, showing several rows of teeth.)

Hello again, Rose.

so why are you working at an aquarium?

I was bored.

makes sense.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose giggles a bit]

[sightseeingscout]

(Scout hands Finny their tickets, and she puts a paper wristband on zir.)

Rose, may I see your hand?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Sure

[Rose holds out her hand]

[sightseeingscout]

(She puts a wristband on her, as well.)

Have fun!

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Thanks!

[sightseeingscout]

(The aquarium is . . . pretty much normal, for the most part. Except when it isn’t. Like right now. In a dark room and a dark tank, a pale, eyeless woman taps on the glass. From the inside.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Rose steps back nervously]

[sightseeingscout]

(The thing grins, white hair flowing around it.)

huh? what’re you looking at, ro- ...uh.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Can - can we go to the otters? Please?

[sightseeingscout]

yeah, let’s.

(The thing unhinges its jaw, revealing a thin tongue with the end shaped somewhat like a fish. Scout points at the tank.)

cut that out.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Please

[sightseeingscout]

(They leave the dark room. Eventually, they reach two doorways, one labeled “Otters” and the other labeled “Un-otters”.)

hm. well, there’s an obvious correct choice here, but the un-otters intrigue me.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Let's take a quick peak and then decide. If their dangerous we're going straight to otters

[sightseeingscout]

ok.

(They peek inside. There’s something that looks like a mix between a fish and a poorly-taxidermied chihuahua running around and snarling at guests as they scream. Finny, who somehow got there before Rose and Scout, speaks into a walkie-talkie.)

Spankoffski, we’ve got a containment breach in the Un-otters sector. I repeat, a containment breach in the Un-otters sector.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

[Spankoffski? Does a version of Ted or Pete work here? Rose watches, stepping back from the door]

[sightseeingscout]

(The obnoxious teen that works everywhere stumbles into the room.)

OH- oh no, I wasn’t trained for this, I- AUGH

(One of the creatures latches onto his hand.)

GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF-

(Finny tries pulling it off. Which works, albeit completely degloving his hand in the process. He screams. Scout hesitantly turns to Rose.)

...otters?

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Yeah, otters

@sightseeingscout

[sightseeingscout]

(They head towards the otters, which are completely normal.)

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

heya, rose! i know it’s been a while, but, uh, how’ve you been?

@sightseeingscout

Um...not as bad as usualy but not great

[sightseeingscout]

oh. well, at least it’s better than usual.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

Mhm

[sightseeingscout]

uh, things have been...mostly ok with me.

[roseabelle-spankoffski]

That's um, that's good

[sightseeingscout]
