| 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. )

[ Yeah, that. That won't happen again. She'll make sure of that. ]

If it isn't too weird, I'll head to you?

[ Everything about this situation is weird, Rosie. Who are you kidding. ]

video;

[wendigoner]

Yeah...

[ Hannah offers her sister a Significant Look before showing her the feed... and the hand. ]

It's pretty nasty...

[meatbrained]

( well. he's used to that. as far as he knows. apart from this place, oddly enough. )

I've noticed. ( a pause, and then; ) All my friends are from... different times. ( that's still weird to say. )

[meatbrained]

( yep. he still wishes he'd had that warning too. )

Yeah. I- uh, I know. I wasn't thinking clearly. Sorry.

( thank you Rosie you are good people. )

No. That's. Um. Fine.

( as fine as this can be, he supposes. )

video.

[meatbrained]

( ... W E L P. whatever gets you through the day?? )

You're excited about being here?

( with the zombies and the getting lost and stabbed by tonberries...? )

audio.

[meatbrained]

Um. Yeah, actually.

( he isn't asking why please don't ask him why. )

[voice]

[meatbrained]

( they might. )

Uh, let me check. Think- uh... think we have boxes. Downstairs.

video

[meatbrained]

At least oatmeal.

( sighs. :( )

Um. Someone I've met a couple times. ( he feels weird saying "yeah this girl claimed a severed hand"... >> )

[skelebro]

Hey, mine too.

[Some of 'em even come from points in time that haven't ended with the death of literally everyone he knows and cares about. Fancy that!]

Seems like there ain't really a manual for that. Linearity's overrated anyway.

audio.

[bheidh]

( SOUNDS SUSPICIOUS )

Hopefully that isn't a cause for concern.

[voice]

[circumitus]

[Eh.]

Good enough.

[No, it's not suspicious that Rey would have any knowledge about how to store corpses.]

[ Allison just stares at him for a moment, wondering if he's serious. But then, lips pressed together in a somewhat amused look, she shakes her head. ]

No. That was supposed to be sarcasm. [ Either it really didn't come across, or he's in shock because of the hand, she figures. ]

video

[unknowable]

Well... I mean, at least you can give it back to them?

[Granted, that's a pretty weird prospect all by itself. 'Hey, here's your hand that turned up in my bed.']

If they want it.

audio

[iustitiae]

You must be so disappointed.

private video -> action

[hasitsthorns]

Right-o. See ya' soon.

[ She doesn't actually ask for his location since she can just track him by his scent. That's... probably not helping her 'I'm totally not weird' case, is it? Thankfully, Matt doesn't actually have to know about that part.

Still, a little time later there's a knock knock on the door of their house. ]

Video

[knifecollecting]

Yeah, I'm doing fine. [Up and down. Such is her life.]

[Text]

[hearthebell]

Do you have experience identifying the stages of decomposition?

[sedula]

Oh - yeah, that might be a good idea. They do that with transplant organs, don't they?

[It sounds legit, probably from TV or movies or something like that.]

That's kind of creepy, that something like that got in here and nobody knows how.

[No shit, Sam.]

[unfollowing]

No shit, Sam.

[Now that it's out of sight, Emily feels... slightly better, except, you know, pissed off because someone thought it'd be a good idea to put a fucking severed hand in their bed, ew ew ew gross.]

Put it in the freezer or something, I don't care, just get it the fuck out of here. I'll go get new sheets from one of the shops.

[Because the ones on the bed right now are getting thrown out, sorry not fucking sorry.

Also, she's going to take a scalding shower.]

[meatbrained]

( well, using the sheets is the quickest, but probably not the wisest idea. )

I'll go get a box from downstairs. ( they have tupperware, right? old tubs cleaned out from the food they contained?

right now it seems like the best option. he'll be right back. )

audio

[meatbrained]

Wasn't exactly the wake up I wanted.

( there are better hands for his thigh. )

video

[meatbrained]

( hey ... opposite! some of his friends have had that ending. not that he knows that. he's still an innocent flower. )

You think?

( he likes it, it was simpler that way. )

video

[skelebro]

I mean, time is pretty much an illusion. It's kinda completely arbitrary.

[Honestly, once he came to that conclusion, his life became exponentially easier.]

action

[meatbrained]

( thankfully, Matt is a simple pup. and a simple pup still trying to get over shock, so when the knock comes, when Rosie turns up, he just kind of assumes she knows one of the others or something.

really, he doesn't care one way or the other, just that it can now be out of their freezer. so, after a short moment, he appears at the door with said hand. )

Hey. ( and, offering a tupperware box with it... sort of squashed a little inside. okay, they didn't have anything of the right size. ) Didn't have much else for it. Sorry.
