@puzzlepcice sent: * plants the firecrackers gifted from mitch in marlon's room as he sleeps, and sets them alight before making her quick, but silent escape. * how's that for "next level"?
CLEMENTINE DIDN’T NEED TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT BEING SNEAKY, rather infamous for his insufferable snoring, the leader was zonked. it was rare for the leader to go under as deeply as he did, let alone felt the ease to fall asleep. laid on his mattress, his letterman jacket discarded over the back of his office chair and boots lazily sat at his beside; holey, worn socks sat over the end of the bed ( toes almost touch the floor from his rather generous growth spurt ) and his forearm draped across his face subconsciously to block out the sun from the balcony door when it’s beams finally reached his form, his chest lifting and falling with each buzzsaw-- breath.
MARLON never even sawed through the next log when the crackers went off. THE FRENZY of snaps and bangs that sound off in his room shot him up so fast he was surprised he didn’t get whiplash; blue eyes snap open, he shrieks, still delirious with sleep and the adrenaline could only clear your cotton-filled head so fast and his back slams into the wall, instinctively his arms come up to shield himself from the smoke and sparks. ❝ – WHAT THE FUC-- ❞ FIRECRACKERS!? he thought they ran out of those years back, an effective walker bait to draw them to one location to the next. when the last of the explosives had finally popped and nothing more than a cloud of grey smoke and strong smell of black powder. his forearms lower, and a hand is placed over his panicking heart to soothe it, it feeling like a bird trying to flit out of it’s cage. it didn’t take long for the shock, to turn to ANGER.
his nostrils flare and jaw tightens as he exposes his whites matching that of a terrier and he gets to his feet, sharp blue eyes glare at the door that never shut all the way in the prankster's haste to get out. ❝ – MOTHERFUCKER-- guard duty, two-- NO THREE WEEKS! YOU HEAR ME!? ❞
