@nightrot said "sorry, i mean, i'm in shock."

Poppy spits out another mouthful of blood. She knows what it looks like. Knows what it sounds like when she screams, the sound getting warbled by the blood pooling in her throat when the force tears it open.

Hands still shaking, she pulls out her notebook to pen a single word - handwriting wonky and disappointing.

Sorry.

@nightrot said "did you follow me here?"

"Depends, did you do something worth following for?"

It's plain to see that she's simply enjoying the sound of her own voice - they're closed in an alley between two towering brick buildings. The younger man had twigged something in her instincts, and so Hartley had come to see why that was.

"Maybe I just stopped to smell the roses."

@nightrot said "you can't escape from yourself."

He gets a small hmph for his troubles. Bella knows. Conrad must know too, albeit in a different way. Does he even know who himself is, under all that direction? Or has it been lost to time, same as Bella.

"No need to tell me, darling."

@nightrot said: aren’t you a nice boy, mutt, to remind me of that.

autumn street.

for a moment mutt wonders if this instinct to test everything anyone says for lies is another tell of madness. nice boy doesn't cut it, an identifier made for some other person. while capable of a fierce compassion, he is just that—fierce, seldom if ever gentle. kind, but not nice.

"thought you'd like to know, is all." he listens. he notices. remembers, above all. casually: "you talked about it before. so."

whatever happens, keep the lights on.

from what zora sees, this is shaping up to be a long night. potentially a rough one too if this statement to go by.

z is ensuring that they keep the lights on in their apartment and trying to make sure they don't have any reason to venture out. not at this time of night and not with any of the information connie had told them.

[sure they might have things that make them quite unpleasant to those who might trouble them, that doesn't seem to be the point. ]

"right. okay. i will keep the lights on.. is there anything else i should know? any other things that will be helpful?"

i shouldn't have shown you this. / from late bite connie!

zora had found themself seeing a lot of things as a result of spending more time with connie. they had come to know more details, to see a lot of what he had to keep hidden from so many others in his day to day life. it's something that they don't take lightly.

but even with that in mind, they find themself looking at the leftover remains.. that he had been tending to. it was one thing to know that this was how he sustained himself, to see more obvious evidence of this.. well - it brought back a lot of interesting memories.

the likes of which they hadn't really shared with anyone since working in this area, since working for the show even.

when he mentions that he 'shouldn't have shown them this.. ' z sighs.. looking at the mess and then back at him, with an odd sensation in the pit of their stomach.

it's not repulsion, it's not fear even. perhaps it should be - but it's neither of those things, and it's a lot harder to pin down. they would have to take a few moments alone later to do so .

"is it really like you had a choice in showing me this connie? i mean, sure you could try and hide it and hide it over and over.. like you do most of the time. but .. i do think at some point, when i agreed to start spending more time with you.. i figured i would see things. maybe not this necessarily. but i would see things..

i can't exactly say i'm in a position to be like how dare you show me this. "
