w0, monday

[foreverphantom]

[ he is outside the donut shop, floating a few inches off the ground and looking very shocked by this turn of events. there is a glazed donut with one huge bite taken out of it in his hand

muttering: ]

...well, at least this is a pleasant surprise for once.

[fightolive]

[Looking at him hovering in the air.]

Do you like flying?

[foreverphantom]

...yes. When I could still do it.

[ looking very guarded as he says it ]

[fightolive]

[Her smile is soft and reminiscent.]

I did a lot of it when I was alive too... It hasn't been very long, but I miss the option.

[foreverphantom]

...well, the donut shop's right there. [ as in, the door is like two feet to his left.

he could offer her some of his donut but he's not doing that shit even with affection week in play ]

[fightolive]

[Sharing food is more intimate than holding hands.

She will go get one donut of her own and start floating off the ground. ]

How wonderful.

[foreverphantom]

[ sighs in frustration ] Of course this is as high as we can go. Can't let us have too much freedom.

[fightolive]

If we could go higher, do you think we'd loop like with the fog?

[foreverphantom]

Ugh. Probably.

[fightolive]

[ Looks up at the sky, unreachable.

A sigh. ]

[foreverphantom]

...I wonder if eating multiple donuts amplifies the effect.

[ WE GOTTA EAT MORE DONUTS ]

[fightolive]

There's nothing stopping us from getting more.

[Hands him her half eaten one.]

[foreverphantom]

[ crams both half-eaten donuts into his mouth with not even a thank you

chews on them at length while he tries to reduce the chipmunk cheek amount of food in his mouth before swallowing, and waiting for something to happen

...nothing does ]

[fightolive]

Ah... A little too much to hope for.

[ pensive... ]

[foreverphantom]

[ opens his mouth and lets all the half-chewed donut he hadn't yet swallowed fall onto the ground ]

[fightolive]

[Watches this happen.

Gross.]

[foreverphantom]

[ glares down at it in disgust ]

Food was a mistake.

[fightolive]

All of it, or just the donut?

[foreverphantom]

All of it. The donut is a little better by virtue of letting me float, but it's definitely not innocent.

[fightolive]

What did all the other foods do to you?

[foreverphantom]

Exist. Have to be eaten.

[fightolive]

Do we need to eat while we're here?

[foreverphantom]

I've been getting hungry, so I assume yes.

w1, monday

[foreverphantom]

[ guess who's at the halloween festivities, dressed on theme (including the fingerless gloves), and absolutely DELIGHTEDLY assaulting a pumpkin with carving tools

also he's rocking a fangs/pointed ears/blue skin combo rn ]

[fightolive]

[ She's in a heavy coat, suspicious ever since it was snowing.

Her skin cracked and glowing with green from within. ]

What's that?

[Pumpkin carving?]

[foreverphantom]

[ looks up and--well, first he blinks at her appearance. that looks cool as hell, goddamn.

anyway, back to business ]

It's...a pumpkin? [ have you never seen a pumpkin?? ]

[fightolive]

[Probably not.]

I haven't seen one of them before. What are you carving into it?

[foreverphantom]

[ pauses ]

I wasn't really carving anything specific. Just...general maiming.

[fightolive]

As long as it helps.

[foreverphantom]

[ blinks ] Helps?

[fightolive]

Helps... you?

[?]

You looked like you were enjoying yourself.

[foreverphantom]

[ ...huh. ]

...these are pretty satisfying to disembowel.

[fightolive]

They look pretty messy.

[Maybe that helps the satisfaction?

She'll pick out one of the medium sized pumpkins and see how heavy it feels.]

[foreverphantom]

They call the insides 'pumpkin guts' for a reason.

[ stabs into his and somehow it sends pumpkin innards flying all over ]

[fightolive]

[ Picks up one of the sturdier knives and takes a second to check it's balance before starting to cut the top open. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ that knife check is the murder flag.

anyway dan/brimstone doesn't much care what she's doing, he carries on with his own pumpkin gore, so i guess we're just. parallel playing this pumpkin carving for now? ]

[fightolive]

[ Parallel pumpkin gutting!

See you on Thursday night for the real gutting. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ yippee!!! yay!!

how novel it is to talk about planning murder together in pc bracket text

does it look like she's carving anything in particular? his is just. absolutely slashed to bits and covered in innards. ]

[fightolive]

[ It looks like the beginning of some sort of firefly (bug). ]

[foreverphantom]

[ huh. well given that it's a work in progress, and that it's a bug, he's going to mistake it for like a spider or something ]

On theme, I see.

[fightolive]

You think so?

[ Fireflies aren't totally out of season yet, she supposes. ]

[foreverphantom]

Halloween is all about what people like to think of as "creepy crawlies." So, sure.
