#beetle blitz

[silver-sting]

(A car pulls up and sits there for a while. Whoever's inside doesn't get out. There also seems to be something in the backseat, moving around a lot)

(Silver, who had just been resetting his supplies and cleaning up after a client, heard the rumbling of an unfamiliar engine outside and perked up from behind the counter. He huffs, finishing up what he was doing before taking off his gloves and heading out to see what's going on. An unfamiliar car, too. He avoids walking right up to the window, standing a few feet away and making a "what?" gesture with his arms.)

(Beetle's focused on fixing a part in her car, not quite paying attention to anything else. Xer face is completely hidden under the hood)

(He'd been working with Rig to figure out what they both wanted, and it had been... Well, awkward, to say the least. And time-consuming. It was such a big secret that's just... Out, now. Zey don't really know how to feel. So, rather than confronting all of that, he decides to take a break from the house and goes to check on Beetle, who zey know is working outside. He brings a couple bags of animal crackers and some bottles of water under zer arm, intending to make sure Beetle's staying hydrated. He stands a few feet away from xem, not wanting to startle her.)

Hey, Beetle? I got'cha s'm snacks n' water n' stuff. How're you doin'?

[rigor--m0rtis]

(Beetle rolls over. Her eyes are open but it's obvious she's not fully awake. Xey just stare for a minute)

(He was about to try and ask Scratch what was wrong, but he shuts up as Beetle's movement catches him a little by surprise. He stares right back. Scratch just glances between the two, confused and giggling a little.)

Witch, did you put on a lullaby or a horror movie, Whiskers?

(He jokes, his voice still hushed. Scratch continues to giggle.)
