| one. video. 16th oct. just not what you seek of me.

[meatbrained]

( at approximately 7 am, Hadriel Local Time, the residents of Upset Dweeb Until Dawn house may just find themselves woken up by the yelling from Matt and Emily's room.

(sadly, this is not because of good sex. Matt wishes.)

for the fortunate residents of Shitpost Shithole Cavetown that don't overhear this commotion, there's a helpful post a few minutes later.

... is that...?

yep, that's a severed hand on the bed. )

This- um. Does this belong to anyone?

( WHAT ELSE DO YOU SAY ABOUT THIS. )

( Matt has found Rosie's severed hand! Have fun with this. )

( no judgement here. he just wants to never have it turn up in his bed again. )

Sure. Do you wanna come by the house or should I meet you somewhere?

Video

[meatbrained]

( he's been a lot better but. you know. no one's dead. )

A little shocked but I'm okay.

( the sensation was gross but. you know. didn't actually hurt. )

[skelebro]

Yep. Sans. Sans the skeleton. Nice to meet'cha.

[Sadly not a costume. Real live skeleton right here, in the not-flesh.]

[ she nods. ]

Gore will ruin your morning every time. Trust me.

Are you sure it's real?

[unfollowing]

[NO SHIT IT'S DISGUSTING.]

No. What, like that would be better? [Emily is the Most Helpful, staying by the door as she watches both of them go over the same shit and leave the hand there to keep defiling the bed.] Ugh, god, one of you do something!

[Always look on the positive side of things, Matt.]

Good, good. Take it easy today.

[iustitiae]

It's a little bit funny.

[meatbrained]

( B( MAYBE IN A FEW DAYS. )

... No.

( his thigh, Connor. his very naked thigh. )

[meatbrained]

( he knows, Sam. and ugh finefinefine. let's just. move that off the bed. )

We've gotta move it. ( let's just talk like it's a particularly big spider he needs to extract to the outside, hmm? and maybe he's just gonna bundle it up in a sheet off the bed and move it to the drawers for now.

... what else do you do with a severed goddamn hand at 7am? ) Think we should, um, put it on ice?

video

[meatbrained]

( dang it. :| )

Have you been here long?

( hey may as well get the lay of the place. he's still only been here a month. every little helps and all of that. )

Video

[meatbrained]

( well he was initially planning on hunting things in the cave-- nah who are we kidding he's probably just gonna see if he can find any sports equipment in the shops again. )

Will do.

( a beat; ) You doing alright? ( how's everything been since you rescued his ass from the caves, Jojo? )

video

[skelebro]

Couple months, give or take. Time is a funny thing 'round here.

[And it's linear too. Fancy that!]

video.

[meatbrained]

( he can't think of anyone who would do that. )

I don't think so. ( although. maybe there are some weirdos and Em can be... abrasive. maybe it was meant for her. ) Em told me this kinda shit happens. ( well. not specifically this. but still. )

[meatbrained]

I touched it.

( it felt. not... fresh. )

video

[meatbrained]

Pretty sure. ( or a really good replica. ) It, uh, feels--

( real.

he needs twenty showers tbh. )

audio.

[meatbrained]

( he's just. gonna try and not judge. and probably fail. )

Yeah, they have.

[Video]

[meatbrained]

( WELL UH. ) It's hers.

( :| because. yeah. that's a great answer. )

[voice]

[meatbrained]

( HMMM. )

I think I can do that. Would a, uh, sheet work?

( somehow he doesn't think a hand is meant for the Tupperware. )

video

[meatbrained]

( well, it's not a message, as Allison put in his head? that makes it better, right?

at least Matt can breathe out a laugh. he's recovering. ) Yeah. Just- definitely not how I wanted to start my day.

( sobs. )

[Video]

[dogsanddaughters]

Oh. Literally?

[That's different.]

video.

[gymnast]

...that makes me even more excited about being here. [ She's going to obsessively check every spot in her little apartment now. Many times a day. ]

audio.

[bheidh]

I wouldn't have expected that.

Do they want it?

[voice]

[circumitus]

Do you have anything plastic around? That would be better. Some cloth might just end up clinging to the flesh, and then you'll have another problem on your hands.

[Pun not intended.]

[repelling]

[ All right. All right. He's got that minute.

He's calming down. ]

Fine. You should've warned us.

video

[unknowable]

Yeah. I'm more a coffee guy myself.

[Though Adam has woken up to strange things - more often, recently - he can't say a single detached hand is one of them. He doesn't envy Matt the experience.]

Whose was it?
