[. . . july showers bring august ghosts]

[sevenhorrorsmods]

Who: EVERYONE
When: August 3, wobbly hands
Where: Around the school!
What: some things happened. the school is suddenly a lot more crowded
Warnings: references to blood and bite injuries, but otherwise, non! unless you bring something to the party yourself

[August 3 stars off. . . weird.]

[The morning bell chimes at 6 a.m., as it usually does! But there appears to be a very thin layer of fog settled against the ground outside. Some of it seeps into the school's hallways, before dissipating in a few wisps of haze. Weird??]

[As the day goes on, you feel like you can hear strange whispers echoing in the air-- a voice, hissing the word miiiiiiiine over and over again. Also weird!]

[And by the time the afternoon hits, you may find yourself running into some very unwanted guests. You've been here two weeks, and this is the first time you're seeing these guys?? Where have they been??]

[By the way, the nurse's office is unlocked!]

Oh? Perhaps that makes you interesting, then. I've never met someone proud of being boring.

[ordimame]

There's a first time for everything, isn't there?

[eonsadrift]

When you say it like that, it makes me think you're hiding something.

[ordimame]

[his expression doesn't even flicker]

Or maybe I just don't think "boring" is as much of an insult as people say it is. There's nothing wrong with wanting to live a quiet life.

[eonsadrift]

I suppose the world wouldn't continue to turn if there weren't boring humans like you, toiling away in the background.

[instead of being offended. . .]

Exactly. Who do you think makes your food at every restaurant you visit? Or keeps society's infrastructure running in a perfectly smooth way? Boring humans, that's wha--

[. . . . . . .]

[ordimame]

Are you not human. . . ?

[eonsadrift]

Oh, how observant of you~. Perhaps there’s hope for humanity yet.

[ordimame]

[jiiiii. . .]

Don't be so patronizing. . . you look human enough to me.

[a small sigh]

I really should start rethinking that assumption, though.

[eonsadrift]

Clearly. Don’t you know what they say about making assumptions?

[ordimame]

Yeah, yeah. Makes an ass out of "you" and "me," but mostly me.

[a sharp exhale that almost sounds like a laugh]

Are you only here to poke fun of me?

[eonsadrift]

What typical human arrogance...

No, I came over here to investigate the blood. You're just an easy target.

[ordimame]

[WRYLY]

Thanks.





While you're here, get me an ice pack.

[SO DEMANDING]

[eonsadrift]

Oh..? And if I do that, will you regale me with the story of how brave you were in the face of danger?

[. . . . . . . . . .]

[ordimame]

I was unconscious the entire time. Clocked on the noggin with a freakin' train gate.

[eonsadrift]

[ He can't hold back his laughter at that revelation, but as his snickering dies down he grabs an ice pack and tosses it over. ]

Here, I'll do you a favor since you amused me.

[ordimame]

[he is still a bit woozy, a bit uncoordinated, so he. . . completely misses the ice back. which smacks against the wall next to him, before dropping uselessly to the floor. cue a startled noise]

Thanks for your magnanimity.

[grumbles and plops the ice back on his poor, aching head]

. . . you can ask one of the others, though. They were awake the whole time.
