her     smile     could     cut     glass .     eyes     as     SLITS ,     watching     his     every     move ,     his     every     reaction .    𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆     𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓     𝐇𝐈𝐌     𝐈𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 ,     but     the     power     of     it     is     thrilling     all     the     same .

“     need     i     remind     you     what     happens     if     you     refuse ?     ”

she     holds     tightly     to     the     book     in     her     arms ,     a     prop     and     a     weapon     at     once     ──     wondering ,     𝐍𝐎𝐓     𝐅𝐎𝐑     𝐓𝐇𝐄     𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓     𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 ,     how     penny     would     feel     if     she     learned     of     this     usage .

smuggld started following you

     “Okay, so I can absolutely explain.”

     The cause for concern should be obvious. He wishes it wasn’t but, unfortunately, it is. Robot, without a care shown on their glimmering faceplate, stomps back and forth with their arms out as they chase after a poor, unsuspecting, little red chicken. 

      “I was teaching him about jokes, starting with ‘how did the chicken cross the road,’ and he first didn’t get what a chicken was so I showed Debbie to him and then I had to explain what a road was and I think he’s trying to figure out what the rest of the joke is but I promise that he won’t hurt her!”

      And, since catching a chicken is very hard for those unused to small fowl, the Robot has yet to actually put their claws on the little creature. It has yet to ‘cross’ any sort of road that they see, preferring circles, so they’ve got work yet to do.

her     tone     is     deceptively     casual     but     there’s     a     𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐒     𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐓     in     her     eye ,     a     threat     she     won’t     vocalize     just     yet .     she     leans     against     the     wall ,     arms     crossed ,     makes     a     show     of     looking     him     over .

       things maureen’s apparently FORGOTTEN about living on a planet: weather and seasons are things. in her defense, she’d also lived in california for years before leaving for alpha centauri, but she also had grown up in the midwest so... really, she has no excuse. her arms are crossed tight across her chest as she and don are making THE LONG TREK back from the solidarity. another thing to remember: don’t walk places when you’re going to be coming back at night. she’s just about to see what she can use for a makeshift heat pack when she feels cloth drape around her shoulders. blinking once then twice, she turns to look at don, STARING at his coat and then back at him. it’s such a gentle, chivalrous gesture, it catches her off guard. ❝ thanks, ❞ she murmurs, the smile on her face warm and genuine. ❝ are you sure ? aren’t YOU going to get cold ? ❞

it’s     a     semantic     difference ,     of     course ,     and     probably     not     the     right     part     of     the     sentiment     to     focus     on     ──     not     something     that     matters     in     the     long     run ,     not     REALLY ,     but     she     selfishly     wants     to     hear     him     say     it .     wants     to     hear     him     say     that     their     time     together     has     bonded     them     in     some     way .

@smuggld​ spoke: “Only you can turn a drinking game into a parable.”

       ❝ hey ! you were the one who asked the question ! pick a better one next time. ❞ maureen’s going to take one more drink and then SHOVE the bottle back into his arms, leaning back against the wall with a small sigh. her head is spinning a little, but it’s fuzzy in a way she’s honestly grateful for. having don here has been a godsend in a way maureen doesn’t even know how to begin articulating. so she just gives his foot a small kick. ❝ your turn. TRUTH OR DARE. ❞

"-- A noise is a sound, but thank you for the clarification." Dry sarcasm is probably not what Don was looking for right now. Fingers pull away from the zipper, ceasing any unnecessary noise. "No. Where did you hear it from?"
