Guys who’s gonna read Rust can’t get out of the ravine now? ME
EEEEEEEEEE -Tetley/Rowan
Omg yay yay yayayayay ohmygoodness!!
I know right?? Imagine getting stuck in a ravine, right, and essentially calling the. Government. Like she’s essentially a high-ranking government official of this commune and it’s (veeery small) government
Maybe a better analogy would be calling your boss that you hate that hates you back? Funny either way -Rowan (frog) & Rust (Different Rust from the story obvi)
Lemme look through and see if I can find some of the siiiigns /lh -Rowan (frog)
Hmmmms. Short and introspective,,, Could be Penrose? Probably not but someone adjacent to them eheh
I’m so glad you enjoyed this oneee! It’s the shortest from our batch of snippets but we still wanted to include it because well. It’s a funny situation! I think we maaay have forgotten the establishing part though. Oops!
Anyhoo!!! You read another one too :DDD I’m so joyous
oooh so we actually have,,, a thingamajig in the works,,, for heavy-handed parallels,,, (Even after the collapse, Leafton is still a ‘monster they cannot hide from’, just in a different way. It can sniff out its missing pieces like a blood hound. Here! this is the first of the two pages! (A WIP) -Rowan/tetley & Rowan (frog)
It’s sure coming along somehow! And the thing you’re loooking at in the bottom panel is an endless array of library shelves that will be stretching off into the abyss :> -Rowan/tetley
Ooh! Wait, i can give you the parallel snippets too, they’re drafts obviously, but!
"Meorey, this world is a monster you cannot hide from. It is everywhere you will try to go. Every rock you will turn over in your path and everything under it. It is the very spaces where you will try to hide." She nervously picked at the edge of her nail, stopping herself quickly as to retain her composed façade. "Please. We need you for this. We need you for this."
2. "Me? Well! I'm a monster you cannot hide from! Isn't that right, Luni?" She paled, sickened that she didn't place the familiarity before. She should have placed the familiarity before.
"Everywhere you go, I will be there. Not because I am there, not anymore, no. But I will be! In fact… Forget taking you!" It relished in the way the weariness in her eyes lifted for one hopeful moment, walking a circle around her.
"If I really want to have enough to come back for real this time," It was behind her now, gripping her shoulder with one hand as it panned the other across her field of view. "I'm going to need your whole world!"
You can’t reeeeally tell that we recruited a Scary Guy ™ in our system for the dialogue,,, right,,, /lh/silly -Rowan/tetley
(You can! You absolutely can :) -“Scary Guy”)
EHEHHE YES she appears in this one as herself,,, you get to Meet her character,,, eeeehehehehee
Now you know who she is for real!! :> :3 -Rowan/Tetley
She is certainly a character! Aren’t we all a little scrambled in the head?
But yeah, I don’t see why like, anyone else in Leytown would want to do that?? As their job? -Rowan/tetley & “Scary Guy” (Is that my moniker now?)
”Unsafe for consumption by most sane standards” Buddy, I’ve got some really bad news for you about the cuisine Meorey seeks out. Like, really bad news. Catastrophic news. -Tetley/Rowan & “Scary guy”
She doesn’t! Who would? Certainly not me. Or her. I think that her idea of “normal” is warped. At best. What really is “normal” anyway? I’ll say it! I don’t believe it exists! I think it’s another social construct. Nobody is “perfectly normal” and the idea of normal changes! Everywhere! You! Go! How terrible :( -“Scary Guy” & Tetley/Rowan
Oh, I love that bit; I have a feeling they could’ve kept it going forever if it weren’t for… well, everything. -“Scary Guy”
I must admit it has a certain je nais se quoi that I also quite like. It’s the kind of thing that gets better and worse at once as time goes on, really a contradiction! I love contradictions.
Happy you liked it all. I didn’t have a hand in most of it but it entertained me as well. It’s nice to have these little chats :) [/ominous]
