team building exercise (event)(archived) / the-lake
a beautiful blue lake that sits at the end of a branching path in the trail. none of the employees were told to bring swimwear so there (likely) won't be any swimming going on. that being said, it is still a gorgeous locale and would be an excellent spot for two employees to share a nice moment
Rose is here, and takes off her hoodie, getting in the water to fish.Bug is here too!
R- rose, wait—!
Ah, crud… you know that’s gonna take forever to dry, right?
“If I cared I wouldn’t be fishing like this.”
Fine.
250 then gets a stick that was close to him and drew a little heart in the dirt
....heh............
...........
...
He then hugged his knees close to his chest as he continued looking at the lovely sight(edited)
shed sing here to the fish for hours, she didnt care if they didnt know what she was singing, she was just glad they saw her and appreciated her talent
18:38
shed got an idea
18:39
shed get out a water protector from her phone and put it on, shed play youtube videos for her and the fish
250 then lays down on the ground, staring up at the sky, something stirs up in himWas it loneliness yet again? He could easily get up and go to where everyone is, have a nice time, but then again, it would be too much for someone like him.Though if it starts getting too dark, how could he find a way back? He couldn’t, he has no sense of direction after all, he’ll probably get mauled by a bear or a wolf soon, hell, there’s probably one near him right now just waiting for the right chance.Those thoughts, kept him petrified as he couldn’t help but lay there, too scared to move, too scared of everything.
(LMAO FINALLY GETTING INTO IT AFTER SIX FUCKING HOURS-)
it’s been a while since iris had seen so much nature in one place. ever since escaping that…institute, really. it was really nice to see the sun flowing through the trees, to hear the sounds of many wild animals moving on with their lives, and to experience many other small moments that she greatly admired. in this admiration, though, she had mostly been distant from the others, watching rather than interacting with the group (despite sticking to the majority for most of it). she hoped that no one noticed that.
in fact, she hoped no one would notice her moving away from the warmth of the firepit, towards the lake. she needed time alone, to get lost in her thoughts.((although technically i frikin gave her that by being afk for 5 hours)
( @Magnus⁎⁺˳✧༚ is 250 still here? might interact with them if that’s alright(edited)
iris walked down the path over to the lake, watching the sky darken as it reached closer to night.
she felt…alone, yes. she understood that this was her choice, to leave behind everyone else—at the time, the firepit was loud. she couldn’t focus due to the number of people talking, the “yipees….” but the silence of the trail was unsettling. in a way, it seemed like a curse.
…but again, this was her choice. she might as well head down there. and who says she’ll be alone at the lake?
as she walked down, she noticed another person laying on the ground, looking at the sky. they seemed…scared?
”hey, good thing i’m not the only one who needed to stop here,” iris said, as she sat somewhat close to them.
20:20
(i couldn’t figure out what to type part 2)
20:20
(and i had to afk to violin practice in the middle of it)
He sat up quickly, honestly mistaken 614 to be a wolf, then realized they weren’t-kinda sadden over that fact
...oh hahah, yeah yeah!...it’s quite nice here, especially since i never been to a lake before..

”yeah, it’s honestly been a while since i’ve been to one as well….” she said. she paused for a moment. “i haven’t even stepped out of the office in a while, heh.”
20:41
after a few seconds, iris realized that she never told this person her name. “oh, uh, i think i forgot to introduce myself. the name’s iris.”

..i haven’t really been out of the office either, but, i don’t mind, it’s nice, nice people in there as well. (casually gets ptsd about sheryl).......yep, real nice people....heheh..
iris heard june somewhat trying to…reassure himself(?), and she couldn’t agree more with that feeling. “yeah, most people are pretty nice.” most. (casually thinks about 649. possible serial killer silly guy) “i- i haven’t met many people though. it’s been about four days or so since i started working here, so…” she took a sip of her thermos (which obviously, had coffee in it. the skrunkly).(edited)
(uh sheryl had an encouter with 042 (toast's oc) and they made a deal with them. Sheryl got to read 042's mine for 10 seconds in exchange for info. 042 asks what oliver's real job is. sheryl explains that hes techinically MCF but hes techinically not because he's still under mind control. Oliver is an experiment/prize pool for HR. Oliver kinda finds this out. fight between 042 and sheryl. Oliver gets shot by 042. Oliver runs away.)

He then smelt the coffee

”hah… yep. if you couldn’t tell already, i’m kind of a coffee addict.” iris laughed awkwardly. “if you want some i can ask alph for you, but…” maybe later. once it’s quieter over there.(edited)
...heh, no, i am too, can’t live without it, the caffeine rush just feels so nice, everything feels more clear? not to mention the rush, heh...it always feels so familiar, like crushing over someone, heh... He kinda drifts off thinking about that goddamn pink highlighter then snaps back to reality oh-oh uh, sorry i trailed off, my bad...

Oliver pants as he hauls himself towards the lake. He could wash the blood off his leg there. God. Being shot sucked. His mind was racing. He didn't even notice the pair talking at the lake.
i have a slight feeling that June and Oliver might not get along well cuz if Sheryl’s ever brought up it just be like-
Oliver: “Hate them.”
June: “OMG LOVE THEM MMMM GWEHEHHAHSSGEHGS❤️❤️❤️❤️”)

iris heard footsteps behind her. they seemed heavy, with each step seemingly struggling—was someone injured? she looked behind her, seeing oliver panting as he limped towards the lake. she couldn’t see very well in the dark, but she could swear he had an injury in his leg.
she got up, a concerned look on her face, and ran over to oliver. it was then that she saw the bullet wound.
“oh my god, oli, are you alright?” she exclaimed. what the hell happened?—oh to hell with it, i need to heal him first.(edited)

iris was still somewhat shaken up. she stood there in silence for a couple of seconds before realizing that june just spoke to her.
“….he’ll be okay.” she said. “i need to heal him though.” i hope the wound isn’t infected…
she set him down near the lake and got to work.
(okay i’m doing double roll. if first doesn’t work i’m just gonna roll for iris damage)
thank god she had an advanced medkit available in her backpack. she had brought it in case anything happened, especially since she didn’t know what to expect for going with a group like this.
she pulled out the bullet really carefully and quickly focused her energy to cast a healing spell on his wound.
(16) it closed over completely, completely mending the tissue back together. iris sighed, incredibly relieved.
obviously there was some remaining blood that hadn’t been cleaned, so she used some soap and the available lakewater (which seemed clean) to rinse it off.(edited)
21:46
(btw the spell was like seconds after removing the bullet. i assumed she would have to do it really quickly so that the removal of blood clots around the bullet wouldn’t have time to cause more blood loss)

Oliver now felt so much better. "Oh god. Shit. I'm so sorry Iris.. I-I didn't want you to see me like this. Thank you but I'll leave now-" Oliver didn't want to leave. All he wanted was to be near his friends.
”hey, wait,” iris said, stopping him. “i…”
she fell silent before bringing him into a quick embrace. “just, be safe for me, okay?” she said. “i’ll be here. you can talk to me.” her voice was soft. i don’t know who hurt you, she thought, but they’d better have an explanation.(edited)

Oh great. And now Oliver was crying. God. He hated crying in front of his friends. He hated feeling vulnerable. He hated the people who helped him. He tries his best to lock up his own heart or break other people's before they can hurt him. Oliver wanted to hate Iris at that moment, but he couldn't. All he could think about is how much he valued Iris being here for him right now.
"I-I'm fine.. Really, I'll be fine. I just.. need some time to think about what happened."(edited)

”…yeah. take all the time you need, oli. i’m here for you, got me?”
iris… although she didn’t know what exactly oliver went through, she recognized the feeling.
she knew that she couldn’t force him to instantly recover; the most she could do—and knew how to do—was to just be there with him. give him time to process, and support him as he did.
(…after all, that’s exactly what she needed as well, although she hadn’t gotten to it yet.)
iris glanced at the lake. although she wasn’t the best at using words to convey it, her support for oliver was genuine.(edited)
(and also hmmm idk how to end it either. cause assiel and stanley wanna do a scene with sheryl at the lake but i dont wanna interrupt june and iris's friendship time.)(edited)

Reluctantly, Oliver allowed himself to wrap his arms around Iris. He silently cried into Iris's arms. He was shaking but hoped to god Iris didn't notice. After a while, he promptly pushed himself out. His face was a total mess. He swiped at this face and tidied himself up. Ugh. He hated the fact that he cried so easily. And he hated the fact that he felt safe crying in front of these two. Stupid friendship.... "Uhg,... thanks Iris. That must've been pretty scary for you seeing me stumble in like that.. And uh-" Oliver turns to June. "-Sorry for interrupting the conversation for you two."
Oliver is just.. yep. Yeah. Alcohol will do that to you. Oliver would probably laugh in normal circumstances, but he was too emotionally drained. He simply stared.

“anytime.” she smiled, and hoped to god that he didn’t notice her tear-filled eyes. (girl just as broken help her-) “and don’t worry about it.”
and THEN the drunk peeps waltzed in.
iris saw most of her friends literally going feral in the lake, as each one passed by and started running around.
”….oh my god they’re drunk.” she said, matter-of-factly. she didn’t know whether to be disappointed or amused.(edited)

Oliver doesn't notice. He took off his glasses to wipe his face, and he's actually far-sighted so he wouldn't have been able to see. "Yep.. They sure are. Oliver mutters. Makes me reconsider putting in vodka in my coffee like I usually do." Oliver greets Louie. "Hi Louie."(edited)
"Oh no. Don't call me out like that. Tis me. A woeful sad drunk." Oliver kinda smiles at June. "I don't think we've met actually. Again, not the best first impression, hah. I'm Oliver. It's nice to meet you."
"Hey, hey. Don't worry about it. June huh? It's uh. It's a nice name." Oliver knew about June from Sheryl, but he didn't want to think about them right now. And god oughrg awkward small talk time. He forgor how bad he was at social interactions.
”you two already know me. no need to introduce myself, heh.” iris raised her hands slightly. “i’m a little worried about ted and the others though. i’m hoping whatever just…happened doesn’t harm any first impressions.” she laughed a little. “i guess alcohol can really do that to you, huh?”

“…wait.” iris realized after the awkward silence. “shouldn’t we be back at our tents? it’s probably like, midnight…” oh god. i need to stop losing track of time.(edited)
Oliver blinked. Oh right. They were literally standing in the middle of the darkness. The stars were nice though. "Oh right. We do need to go back. June? You comin' with?"

iris looked kinda concerned. did they… not prepare one?
(i’m gonna pretend that i wasn’t afk while y’all were actually setting it up)
“…i guess… you could share a tent with me if you want to. i think i have enough space for another person.” she smiled.
…then she realized what she said- ()
(panik) “i- i mean, that’s if you’re okay with it! i understand if you don’t want to share a tent with a person you met like, an hour ago, haha…”(edited)

....yep, sweet ground...
just sits there
...got a uhhhhhh... stick and the stars to uh...lull me to sleep.
Oliver stared at June. He was concerned. June kinda reminded Oliver of his own cowardice. "June, I'm not going to force you to, but I think it might be better to go back where the others are? We'll walk back if you're afraid of getting lost. I can protect us as well." (sjdef oliver has a gunnnnnn for self defense reasons)

”…i was considering doing something too,” she whispered back, “but uhhh… i kinda don’t know anything of that type? i guess i could knock him out and physically drag him over, but that’s it…”(edited)

"Fuck. Fuck. I really didn't want to do this." Oliver sighs. He then takes in a deep breath to steady himself. "Sheryl. I know you're listening. Get your demon ass out here. Now."
[Sheryl teleports in.] Awh, you miss me~? Oli-
"I'm not talking to you. Just teleport us back to the campsite. June here's being stubborn."
Oho~? Making more friends now are we? I suppose I can indulge you in a simple favor. Consider it an apology. :)

[There was nobody around that they could see, but the solitude, this time, was strangely comforting. Never thought I would think that.]
[Did... Did Florence not notice that Sheryl was right there...?? Oh, wait. They were looking at the dumb and large body of water. People were so weird. Or maybe they just had horrible vision in the dark? Well. That'd make sense actually. Florence had glasses for a reason afterall. Sheryl still had their horns, wings, and tail out, but it honestly didn't matter. They suddenly got an idea..... Sheryl teleported behind Florence.]
Boo. :)
[Florence practically jumped at the sudden arrival of Sheryl directly behind them. They made a completely undignified noise of surprise before whipping around to face them.]

"Jesus, you scared the sh- Oh. That's new." [Florence raised a finger and gestured at the horns, wings, and tail.]

[Stanley had been wondering around the lake side for a good..idk...while. He was swimming and...then got fucking lost again. Man was he bad with following directions. He had heard voices before, but they disappeared, but then he finally heard more!!! Oh!!!! Oh my god! It is his good friends! Florence and Sheryl! Woohoo!! He called out for them] SHERYL!!!!!!! FLORENCE HIIIIII!!!!!! [He waves!!!]
"How come I've never even seen you with 'em, then??" [Florence quirks an eyebrow. Oh, wait, was that Stanley over there? They turned and immediately started waving... and smiling. Like full on, open mouth grinning. Not just a tight-lipped little smile. A very rare sight from Florence.]

[Second of all, damn. Damn. Florence got Sheryl beat in a certain department. It was kinda irritating how much pretty Florence could be. Sigh. They could appreciate Florence from an aesthetical standpoint.] Soooooo... what's got you so smiley? It's making me sick to my stomach, actually. What?

mike has a sudden thought — they cant help themself to it. they peel off their hoodie and place their headphones&phone ontop of it. they quickly make a mental note on where they placed it. mike starts walking towards the lake (they r wearing a t shirt and jeans (yeah jeans))
[Sheryl's just full on laughing now. They lazily fly over to the edge of the water, hovering above them.] Florence. You have the balance of a newborn fawn. It's fantastic. Didn't know you were a literal pushover. [Sheryl laughs again.](edited)

(roll for magic drying off. but you guys could totally just splash sheryl again.)
mike kept swimming to the bottom and grabbing various colorful things (mostly just legit crystals and Pretty Rocks) (no trash here) and setting them down in a neat pile on a patch of grass they wont be able to find later.

Listen, it was supposed to do something. Trust me on this. The sky god still seems to hate me. [They sigh, resorting to shaking off the water like a dog.]
[Man. Fuck. Ok yeah. Sheryl can definately appreciate Florence from an aesthetical viewpoint. They turn to Stanley.] ... Ugh.. Fine. But only because you asked so nicely. [They lower themselves into the water.]
(I HOPE THIS DOESNT ACCIDENTALLY MEAN THAT FLORENCE ACTUALLY BAPTIZED SHERYL CAUSE I THINK FLORENCE WOULD LEGITIMATELY BE SO DISTRAUGHT IF IT SOMEHOW HURT THEM)
You metaphorically baptized me. You basically called me a slur in demon language. [Sheryl huffs with no aggression involved.]
(JAHF IMS FROSRYR YOU CAN LAUGH I FEEL BADJFWAHEF)
[LOOUUD over dramatic gasp] "You monsters!! I can not let this slide" [He puts both of his hands together, and PUSHES the water and a HUGE fucking splash of water washes over them]
(OW :C ))
[Florence laughs before they are immediately hit directly in the face with a huge thing of water. They accidentally breathe a little bit of it in and start coughing. Oh, shit. Shit. Shit.]
[Wait. It just occurred to Sheryl that they can use their wings as shields. Hello??? Did the metaphorical baptizing from Florence actually work and make the stupid?? They noticed Florence coughing.] Careful there Flo~.
Ah. Well yes. Congrats on that too, Flo. [Sheryl smugly grins.] I mean, there was practically horns sprouting outta my head. Nice to properly meet you in my demon form though~. :)

No actually~. I can just usually dry myself off. [They gesture to stanley.] This is how you're normally supposed to do it. There's clothing specifically designed for frolicking in large bodies of water. Seriously.. humans and their weird inventions. It's convenient though. You should look into it~.

[Florence wades over to the edge of the lake and starts to walk out onto the shore. They are absolutely sopping wet, their clothes clinging to them for dear life.]
02:54
"Oh, yeah, Stanley, that might be a good idea to go find those. Haha."
................................[He stares at the clothes ] "Did I walk around the entire lake." [He had taken off his shirt when he first got to the lake and spend hours wondering around. He walked around the entire lake without even knowing.]
[And then BOOM. Another awful, awful migraine hits them like a freight train. Florence is physically unable to suppress the cry of pain that's torn from their throat as they involuntarily fall to their knees, clutching their head in pain. Fuck, not now!!]
[He was about to hand his shirt to Florence, and then he watched them double over. He gasps in shock and quickly runs over next to them, getting down on his knees in front of them. He talks softly, but in a panic] Florence- Whoa hey hey- What's happening? Is it the headaches again??
[Florence wants to say something so badly, but they... can't even get the words out. And then the coughing starts. Literally on their hands and knees now, they start hacking up that absolutely awful-looking black fluid again onto the ground beneath them. They are literally fighting for their life right now.]

Excuse me for a sec~- [Sheryl teleports over. They put their hand on Florence's back. This subsequently causes their mind reading to activate. Florence is thinking about....:]
[A concerning amount of fluid comes out this time. A lot more than the last time, and certainly a lot more than the little splatters that Stanley saw earlier.]
[He is freaking the literal fuck out, but holding it together since he knows that actually freaking out would Not Help the situation. He's just . trying his best to say comforting words and kinda patting Florence.] I-I don't..I don't know. It happened a few hours ago, a bad headache and before they were just coughing? N-not like this- [He looks up at Sheryl and it seems like he is about to cry. He really does care about his friends] Do you know anything about what could be happening..? I don't want them to be in pain-!!
in the far distant view of the woods, a bright flash of Unknowable powers occurs.

[Sheryl offers what the closest thing can be to sympathy.] It's okay angel. Just breathe. I don't know what caused this either. I could try and heal them but I honestly don't know if it's going to work.
[The coughing subsides... finally. After what feels like an eternity. Florence stares in utter horror at the ground dyed black beneath them, before trying to turn to look at Stanley and Sheryl. Their voice is so, so weak.] "I... I'll be... f..." [And then right after that, they hit the ground, out cold.]
Florence-??? Florence??!!? H-Hey!! Come on!! Stay with me come on-- [He catches them, holding on tight] Heh.. th-is is the second time I've caught you today haha!! Right? Funny?? ...Come on... [He is ..shaking. He knows they aren't dead but Man is he worried](edited)
[Florence is unresponsive. Their bottom lip and chin is covered in black splattering, which stands out starkly against their somehow still intact red lipstick.](edited)

(I UNDERSTAND BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MADE ME FEEL SO SAD)
03:20
[Florence's breathing eventually returns to... semi-normal. It's ragged, and it feels like they could pass right back out at any moment, but they're awake. And alive, for that matter.]
03:21
[It takes them a moment to process that they're being. Held. But it's not an entirely unwelcome situation. All that matters is that they just came back from what they THOUGHT was probably going to be the end of the line.]
Rise and shine, Flori. No need to speak. Just think. Oh uh, yeah bad timing but I can also read minds. Hope I'm not intruding. Tell me what you need. Why is this happening to you? [They place their hand on Florence's.]
[Anyways. This has been happening to me since we got here, and it's been getting worse as time progresses. At first it was just a minor headache, then a worse one, and then an even worse one... and then the coughing started.](edited)
03:26
[I have no clue what is coming out of my lungs, but it's so... bitter. And awful. And it just LOOKS sickly. I hate it. I hate it so much.]
03:26
[So far, I've had... four episodes. No, five, including this one.]
03:27
[I don't know what's going to happen to me next time I have an episode.]
03:27
[It can't be good, though.]
03:27
[If you guys weren't around, I might've kicked the bucket. For real. So, thank you for that.]
03:28
[Also, they glance down at their shirt, which is now just a LITTLE bit more unbuttoned as a result of their struggle (scandalous), can you button my shirt up. Please. Haha.]
Okay, Stanley they're okay enough to make jokes. All you need to know is that ever since we've left on this trip, Florence has been getting these "attacks" and they're getting worse. This was the 5th time. Headache to this liquid death stuff. [They reach out and swiftly button up Florence's shirt. No booba in serious conditions.] Florence. Do you need me to take you back to the office? Is there some sort of medication you forgot or something? You can't be allergic to nature, can you? Wait, are you even human at all????,
[I... I don't know. I don't know if there's a fix for this, to be honest.]
03:32
[I don't take any medication or anything, so that's obviously off the table.]
03:34
[I don't THINK I'm allergic to nature? I have a bit of a sneaking suspicion that I've been outside before. Even if I don't remember it. And I didn't die, obviously, so, therefore, I'm gonna rule that out.](edited)
03:34
[Am I human? They pause for an uncomfortably long amount of time.]
03:35
[It's complicated.]
03:35
[Thank you for allowing me some dignity, by the way. Florence smiles weakly as they think that.]
[Sheryl sighs.] I seriously can't believe you're still being stubborn while basically being on death's row. The grim reaper is nice but they are not taking anyone's life today. And you're welcome. Your honour is protected. And ah. No running away. Answer the non-human or not question. I'm 100% sure that's where the root of the problem is, dear. I'm pretry sure you aren't but I just need the yes no.
[Florence looks up at Sheryl with frustrated eyes. Their thoughts go a little crazy before spitting out a single answer: ...No. I don't think so. Not anymore, at least.]
[Florence coughs weakly. Thankfully, there's no weird black fluid this time.]

[Florence looks up at Sheryl with frustrated eyes. Their thoughts go a little crazy before spitting out a single answer: ...No. I don't think so. Not anymore, at least.]
Knew it~. Finally, we can put off that awkward game of "are you a non-human too" chicken. Well hm.... if you don't take any medication and you're not allergic to nature... This is gonna sound crazy stupid but- Maybe you need to be in the office? Ah... Think it like a barrier. That specific barrier once you go past it, you'll be exposed to everything that you aren't protected from. As long as you stay in the barrier, you'll be fine. This is a far stretch though. I don't know how you or the office would be connected.... Wait. Don't tell me you have magic or powers too.
[Florence couldn't help but try not to laugh. They knew laughing would hurt them (physically) even more.]
03:44
[Yeah. About that.]
03:45
[Nothing huge, though. It's all tied to the office, so it's not really... spectacular. And it's not like I can use any of my 'abilities' here.](edited)
03:45
[Wait, fuck, you're right. I think this is because I'm so tied to the office. Not in a figurative sense for once.]
... If you weren't on death's door I'd seriously smack you right now. Not cool hiding powers from people, Flori. My Satan... So it is a barrier/cage scenario. I've seen situations like these in my years. Things where a person and an object spend for too long become stuck with eachother. They form a bond and subsequently are tied to eachother. Florence, you're tied to the office.(edited)
(ALRIGHT im gonna write a little something in here @cherry🎞📽 (#🧦666/💛125)@STANLEY🧸☕#427 don't feel pressured to respond quite yet if you don't want to i'm just tryin to get the ball rolling LOL)

[Fuck. You're right. They sigh. It's shaky, and labored, but it's still a signature Florence Sigh.]
(starting right back off from here!) [Florence coughs a bit more and clears their throat. This is also when they realize that Sheryl has their hand on their own, and their eyes widen a bit. They pull their hand away, a bit startled.] "Uh... thanks, you two, for sticking with me through... this." [Without even realizing it, they start to shiver a bit.] "I'm kinda... cold, though, not going to lie. These wet clothes aren't doing me any favors. Hah... Can we... can we go back to the camp, maybe?"(edited)
[Sheryl grins.] Consider it a favor. You'll have to pay me back sometime~. [Sheryl winks while saying this.] Soo~ Didya wanna walk or am I gonna have to carry you? I'm stronger than I look I can assure you. [Sheryl says with full confidence as if they didn't have their ass absolutely dragged while in the water.]
[Florence blushes just a little bit at the mention of being carried and weakly smiles up at Sheryl.] "I... I think I can walk, thanks." [They try to get up, but they realize that Stanley is still holding them in a death grip.] "Ah, Stanley, you might need to let me go."
(but yeah if louie is gonna do a huge thing at the lake we could always move to somewhere else to keep doing our little storyline. ofc whenever cherry is able))(edited)
(nodnod.. i did make a thread so we can still technically be in this channel at the same time as everyone else while keeping it separate from the other storyline :3)
O..okay..! He then just looked back at the water, testing it out still with his hand, before splashing it 0-0?! He jumped up W..whatwasthat- Ted did it again Woah..
It isn't long before Alph shows up with Narrator, the two of them calmly and quietly approaching. "What are we gonna be doing, Lou? Unless it's a surprise." Alph asks, walking over.

Narrator looks over the lake, watching how the light shined off of it. "Canoeing, huh?" He finally speaks. "Yes, I suppose I can take part. I used to be quite good at it–though, it has been quite a while." He rolls up his sleeves, definitely feeling the sun in this open area. Perhaps he'd take off his vest soon, too.
Ted then realized a new person is here… and he got visions of his boyfriend… yep.. gay panic I- His face went red while visioning, yo what is he visioning…. As a top of course
”….oh god,” she exclaimed, seeing the dagger in spooc’s ribs. “also, no, spooctus. it’ll just make it worse unless i heal it right after you do.”(edited)
…. He was silent.. thinking of some stuff, then seeing the incident, that broke the vision - His red face changed back to normal, seeing Spooctus fucking stabbed

Due to the running, Zen is now panting and at the verge of death of exhaustion, but managed to be at the edge of the lake and dip their legs in it"where the fugue did he get that from..?"

”….just….just, i’ll walk down over there. let me heal it.” she was incredibly tired, but this was just a stab wound. she should be able to heal it even in this condition.

after iris carefully cleans and extracts the knife, she focused her energy to mend his wound really quickly. it leaves a scar, but the actual wound should be fine. however this takes a lot of energy on iris’s end, adding on to her already low energy from staying up last night.
“it should be fine now.” she said, before stepping back and literally downing the coffee in her thermos. damn it, i really need a nap after this, she thought.
"...I see." Not quite as bad as he had thought. Of course, he knew someone who's died an innumerable amount of times.
"I hope you don't die on this trip, though. You already got possessed." Alph chimes in.(edited)

"why are people talking about death- oh well"Zenith carefully dips into the water, not minding much as they packed extra clothes just incase."Are you guys going to stay or..?"They said to the remaining people

"I may just watch." Alph hums, preferring to stay out of the water. "Not a fan of going out onto the water."
Narrator glances down at them, seeing their warm smile stay up. He knew why, of course.
Waitwhattheheckisthat- Ted was looking at the creature
Alphonse!
"I may just watch." Alph hums, preferring to stay out of the water. "Not a fan of going out onto the water."
Narrator glances down at them, seeing their warm smile stay up. He knew why, of course.
"Y-yeah they really didn't..tell us to bring swimming clothes aha-"Followed by a chuckle, Zen proceeds to transform into some mutated betta which looks normal but has human-based sensations of temperature, and better gill filtering. They followed the canoe, though taking their time in the deeps
Zen notices the odd direction of pedaling, causing them to poke their head of the water, and soon understood what they were going for. Still following the slightly tipping boat, only to come in a halt."why did they stop?"
She looked back at Toast, making hiccups as she shook her head. "You're not fine! Why are you even here? I didn't know if you would go into shock and needed help! If you left, we could have never found you and- and- It would be my fault if you died!"
trying to use 2 paddles instead of one at the same time was very difficult, even with the extra arms to hold them. on a couple occassions, louie sped them up but it was usually a hinderance more than anything else
after a solid chunk of time, louie and ted arrived at the new shore
Alphonse!
"I may just watch." Alph hums, preferring to stay out of the water. "Not a fan of going out onto the water."
Narrator glances down at them, seeing their warm smile stay up. He knew why, of course.
Zen noticed that they were already at another shore, they remained their distance from the land and waits for Ted and Louie to leave so they can leave the water too
~| Sonya #286 | Beetle #435 |~
She looked back at Toast, making hiccups as she shook her head. "You're not fine! Why are you even here? I didn't know if you would go into shock and needed help! If you left, we could have never found you and- and- It would be my fault if you died!"
"Nonono-" he approached her, catching his breath, "Sonya I'm okay! Don't worry." He finally managed to catch his breath, still holding the tea in his hand! By now it had spilled out to the point only an 8th was left. "I'm not allergic to tea, I'm okay," he admitted, looking a bit guilty, but mostly worried for Sonya. Was she really this concerned about him?
(i was like “you know what iris has rarely talked to them there’s like no way that she just kinda waltzes in like ‘HI HE’S OKAY-‘
(and also she too tired to actually interact with people so it makes sense
(sorry though. just my decision based on the circumstances at hand lmao)(edited)
(if you want to pester her she’ll be watching everyone LMAo(edited)
16:11
not wanting to get anything wet, iris sat somewhat far away from the lake and watched everyone’s interactions from a distance. she then noticed light from the opposite side of the lake, where ted, louie, and the others were headed—was sonething there?
checking her phone, she saw text messages from the others about an amusement park. half of her wanted to stay here, alone, but another part wanted to explore it a little bit. she hadn’t decided yet.(edited)

Was she really this concerned about him?
She stopped in her tracks, looking back at him, tears staining her face. "You're... You're not?..." She felt a wave of relief flow over then she went over and hugged him in a big hug. ". . . I would have never forgave myself if I had hurt you, let alone killed you..." She stood there for a while, then squeezed tighter, letting out a sob, albeit a small one.
"So, according to Louie, there's an amusement park across the lake." Alph announces. "I can make a portal for those not willing to risk getting wet."

She stopped in her tracks, looking back at him, tears staining her face. "You're... You're not?..." She felt a wave of relief flow over then she went over and hugged him in a big hug. ". . .

He flushed, looking down at her as she hugged him. He slowly returned the hug, patting her head awkwardly. He wasn't the best at hugging, but he enjoyed this. "It wouldn't of even been your fault," he chuckled slightly, "I was the one who asked for and drank the tea." He hesitantly started trailing his hand through her hair, trying to comfort her.

"An amusement park? In the middle of the forest? They're going to get murdered." Narrator sighs, facepalming.
"Exactly why we should go. I'd prefer to not see my coworkers dead. Ruins the fun of the trip, though I think it got ruined like four times over already." Alph hums.

(it’s the situation with eros, ted, and iris again but this time with iris and alph in the background as y’all are doing an emotional scene
He flushed, looking down at her as she hugged him. He slowly returned the hug, patting her head awkwardly. He wasn't the best at hugging, but he enjoyed this. "It wouldn't of even been your fault," he chuckled slightly, "I was the one who asked for and drank the tea." He hesitantly started trailing his hand through her hair, trying to comfort her.
She pulled away quickly, flushed slightly. "Oh right! I left my stuff at the fire! I'm going back to clean up, you can stay here and hang out with everyone else, I'll be back!" She waved then ran off, again. Gosh- Stop being so dense.
Well- now Toast had to wait here, or maybe he'd try to chase after Sonya again. Ahhh he had no clue! He was left in shock when she ran away again, standing there, with his arms still in the position of a hug. He was processing what in actual hell was going on.
"Either way, I'll make the portal now." They unzip the space in front of them, humming, and stepping through, just to check. Sure enough, far in the distance, Alph waves from the other shore. "Come on through!" He calls, sticking his head through the portal before retreating again. "I... I'll be right back!" They sound worried as they run off, which makes Narrator immediately follow.
although iris didn’t hear alph and narrator’s conversation, her thought process happened to be very similar: —this is an amusement park in the woods we’re talking about. most likely abandoned as well. if something happens, ar least she’ll be there to… do something.
hoping that she doesn’t collapse by the time they get back, iris follows alph and narrator through the portal, mentally thanking alph as she went through.(edited)
Toast watched the two go through the portal, skeptical of whatever wizardry was happening over there. He was honestly just sat to bargain in his own thoughts, and it sucked. He wanted to hug Sonya again, he wanted to comfort he again. Why does he?
Sonya returned, now dressed up to go swimming. "Hiya!" She waved then noticed how empty it was, especially with how Toast was the only one left. "Oh- Did everyone leave already?" She frowned, slightly disheartened as she clutched her towel and clothes.
"I um- yes, I believe so- it was crazy actually," he chuckled a bit, "there was a portal- and they just- walked through it?? I don't know- well, I'm still here, I can erm.. keep you company?"
She sighed then smiled at Toast. "You know what, let's make the most of the day! Let's have so much fun that the rest of the office would be jealous!" She giggled happily as she hung her towel and clothes on a nearby branch.
He liked the sound of that, nodding his head. "Yes- sadly I didn't bring any swimming gear- but I don't think I'd mind if my clothes get wet," he watches her get ready, smiling at this. She was so prepared for everything.
She turned to him, hands on her hips. "Lucky us that we can be swimming partners, I wouldn't dare with if I was alone. Anyways, any swimming depth limits? I don't want both of us to swim off too far in deep water."
"Swimming partners hm?" he smiled, he was happy his mask would be able to work, even in the water. "And nah, I don't got any limits- here lemme just-" he took off his hoodie, tossing it to the ground, and did the same with his under-shirt. He was wearing shorts, so this would be decent to swim in. "What's your limits?"
From the air, Zen could now see the remaining people, and thought of an idea. They quietly dipped into the water, once again turning into a fish, watching Sonya and Toast cautiously. Dont want to dip in at the wrong time(edited)
"Me? Oh, well I can't exactly swim all that well in water above my head so I'll stick to more shallow water. Maybe you can teach me how to swim better." She teased him then chuckled happily, mostly because she was able to hangout with someone she likes.
"I'm not that good of a teacher, so if you drown it's not my fault," he teased back, smiling at her. Not that he was shirtless, it was more obvious that he has been in multiple fights. Though, the most prominant scars were just below his chest, curling under it and identical on either side, suggesting he was transgender.
She flushed slightly at the sight, but kept smiling as she dramatically posed. "Oh, so if I died because of you, you wouldn't care? I see how it is! Hmph!" She turned away in a faux anger, arms crossed over her chest.
Zen let out a silent chuckle on Sonya's reply, but still kept their cover. They swam from corner to corner, making sure a part of the lake was fully explored. They then look up and noticed how nice the sunrays pierces the water looking at a fish's perspective, this place gotta be Zenith's favourite so far in this trip
Toast rolled his eyes, deciding to play along with the act. He pretended to act like he was being falsely accused, and gave an audible gasp, "I never said that!" He walked up to her, stopping when he was behind her, "I would die just at the mere sight of you dead!"
"Then perish. You have broken my heart! I will run into the sea and become seafoam like the little mermaid!" She laughs as she pushed him aside gently and ran into the lake.
"Nooooooo!" he chuckled a bit after she said that, running after her and diving into the lake. He then took her into his arms and lifted her up, smiling up at her. "Gotcha!"
Zen then does a "chirping fish" noise, as they were laughing their asses off deep within, too bad this is starting to be diabetes for them, but decided to just silence the bitterness of theirs
Toast tried to avoid the water as it splashed into his face. "But Sonya!" he pleaded, "please forgiveth me!" Eventually, he ended up dropping her, the both of them ending up splashing into the water. He perked back up, getting his hair out of his face.
~T o a s t (#042/#888)~
@cherry🎞📽 (#🧦666/💛125) You wanna ruin this moment with Sheryl? lmao))
Sonya laughed even more as she re-emerged from the water while grabbing her hat and pushing the hair out of her face so happily. "I will forgive you if you give me something valuable, something as valuable as me to you." She teased, making a mocking but friendly grin.(edited)
Toast snickered, deciding to try and go with the demon's advice now. Let's hope this doesn't fail. Just... be yourself Toast. He built of the courage and grabbed her again, holding her bridal style while he stood in the water. "I won't be able to find anything," he teased, "nothing is as valuable as you, unless you want me to give you yourself."
Her face flushed a bright red as her eyes widened, surprised by being swept up by Toast and his words to her. She felt her heart blazing inside her chest as she stared in shock. Unfortunately before she could respond, she snapped her head at the talking fish and let out a scream, flailing like mad. "THE FISH SPOKE! IT CAN TALK!"(edited)
"Ayo chill out girly its just the peep you gave tea too"Zenith dips into the water again then turns into a human"Its just me but yeah, i understand the fear"
Her constant flailing made Toast drop her again, he fell backward into the water with another splash. He rises above the water again and stares at whatever she was talking about, then Zenith caught his eyes. He gave a groan, fixing his hair again, for once you could see both of his eyes. "How long have you been watching us??"
"I have been here since you removes your hoodie, i was already in the water when you guys talked about not being able to swim :/"They then sit on the shore, next to the 2"Look- I didn't want to disturb you guys so i didnt say anything"
"You said a lotta things!" Toast was frustrated, he was having a good time! And someone was here just to- take it away again?? That's some repressed trauma right there, but we're not going to talk about that. Don't worry Zenith you did nothing wrong, Toast is just not in a good mood today.
"Anyway, I'm feelin sort of tired so I'm going back to the tent area to go rest, I had enough swimming and flying today"Zenith stood up from the shore, a cheeky smile plastered on their face as they walk back to the tent place, their clothes being oddly dry for someone who has in water for almost an hour(edited)
Sonya resurfaced a bit later, pouting a bit as she kept low with her hat covering most of her face. "Welp, looks like our private time wasn't so private... Oh lord, do you think he'll tell the others? I don't wanna get doted on with questions!" She makes a half-joking wail as she sank under again.
Toast looked back at her, oh he couldn't keep the frown on his face after seeing her. He laughed a bit, slowly moving in the water over to her. "Nah, if they do just come and get me, alright? I'll make sure that little bastard regrets it," he huffed, shaking his head in his own annoyance, "and what's wrong with people seeing me with you? Hmmm?" His last question was a tease, he loved messing with her.
She snickered then stood up fully, leaning over him. "Well I don't know about you but if the office found out, we would never get a chance to be alone together like this again, and I rather enjoy spending time like this with you, so that's why I want peace." She then booped his nose. "Anyways, you can't gift me myself, goofy." She teased back, having her own fun.
He flushed when she booped his nose, making him rub the area she booped him at. He gave a huff, looking up at her from where she stood... "I've never realized how much taller you are than me, maybe I should get myself my own gift, so I'm taller than you!"
"You should see me in heels then." She snickered then got on her back to float in the water. "Oh no, I'm drifting awayyyy, forever to be lost in the beauty of the world. Goodbyeeee..." She joked as she casually just floats around.
Toast smiled, shaking his head in response to her little dramatic escape. He nudged her shoulder, making her now float away and spin at the same time. "I hope you're enjoying yourself Sonya," he chuckled
"Oh noooo..." She tried to hold back her laughs but gave in and just burst into laughter. "I am enjoying myself, and I hope you are too, Toast." She quiets down then fell silent as she just spun in the water, a content smile plastered on her lips.
He watched as she spun in the water, sighing in disappointment while he watched her just slowly drifted away. He nudged her back to him by slightly tugging her arm, making her drift back to him. "I am, I am," he smiled, deciding to ignore what was on the horizon, since well, he'd rather not see that. "I think I should tell you something Sonya," his voice with a little quiet, a little shakey.
Her interest was peaked, leaving her looking up at Toast before her face twisted as she covered her nose. "What is that smell? Oh lord-" She stood up in the water, looking over at Richard. "Dick! What happened?!"
Toast groaned, looks like he will have to pay attention to the horizon, maybe this could be saved for later. "THEN GO TAKE A SHOWER YOU TWAT!" Toast yelled over at Richard.
"The only place he can bathe is here... I don't think I wanna be in the water anymore..." She continued to hold her nose as she wadded her way out of the water. What a ruined moment.
Sonya went over to her things and grabbed her towel as she started drying herself off by the lake casually. "I wasn't expecting someone being covered in shit to be on the trip bingo, guess I'll have to mark that off."

Sonya went over to her things and grabbed her towel as she started drying herself off by the lake casually. "I wasn't expecting someone being covered in shit to be on the trip bingo, guess I'll have to mark that off."
Toast looked back over to her, shaking his head, "oh you're hilarious aren't you? Pfft- but yes, that was very unexpected... I er- Don't have anything to dry myself off, so I'm going to head back to the tents, you can join if you'd like." He said this, taking his hoodie and shirt off the ground.
Sonya smiled, mid-nod when she noticed Richard falling into the lake. "Oh my god! Dick!" She tossed her towel at Toast and went back to the lake, diving in to go help Richard get out of the water.
Toast was once again left in shock, though he did catch the towel, watching as she rushed to save Richard. If it was Toast, he would of let Richard drown if he was being honest, maybe that's why Sonya caught his eye. He shook his head, walking over to the comossion. "Need help??"

(the contextless is just getting better and better)
She swam over, trying to get Dick back onto land. She was doing her best to pull Dick out. "Geez, Dick! You should be more careful!" She huffs as she awkwardly dragged the drowning shitbaby partially on land.

Toast squinted at the sight, feeling himself shiver from how... disgusting this all was. "Here Sonya- we should erm- get you washed off, or cleaned off. Try tah rinse off in the water and I'll get some rags with soap to clean the rest off when we're back at the tents."
"Rodger that..." She saluted at Toast, making a weak smile. "I'll meet you at the tents when I'm done, okay?" She was trying so hard to not retch as she stumbled back into the water and violently scrubbed herself in the water.
She relaxed when she felt that she had cleaned herself to the best of her abilities, now moving to getting back onto land and dry off without a towel. But first, she has to check on Dick. "Hey Dick? Are you feeling okay? You're sagging..."
(you do not control him
(anyway
richard is so dumb. so silly. but dumb

In the distance, across the lake... There was a bright flashing light in the woods. Time dilation seems to have made the area nearby darker than usual.(edited)

"Yeah, let's get going." Alph jogs towards the distorted space. "Come along!"
Thank christ things were happening. there was a big fuss and then everyone left, so now they were continuing.

iris jogged towards it as well. she was honestly scared, especially after seeing the others (namely ted and trevor’s) reactions, but here she was, walking towards it. she hoped to god she wouldn’t die or anything (cuz that’s be a shame smh)
Zenith, even if they were toppling over due to the scattered trees and branches on the road, managed to get to their destination. They sat on a near by tree stump, munching away the muffin thinking about the nightmare they just had. It was weird, it was just a glitchy red butterfly going over a guttated blue flower that has the light of being in a sunset."Odd. Why does it feel familiar somehow.."Their breathing slowed staring at the dark bluish sky above as they put the wrapper of the blue muffin in their pocket. They stood up, not knowing exactly what to do, but slowly and surely, Zen's body moved on their own, as if coming to a decision. They went closer and closer to the water, hesitantly dipping their feet into the liquid, but they still did. The white hared took their time on dipping on the cold water and began to float, drowning isnt a worry as they can subconsciously turn into an aquatic creature and breathe. It felt calm, felt peaceful, but not too peaceful. They closed their eyes, focusing on the temperature of everything and being aware via hearing. Perhaps being here isnt too much of a nuisance.
The sudden summoning of ripples and waves made Zenith snap their eyes open. They procced to dip their whole body in the water and poked out their head, noticing Shed. Realizing that they're just swimming, they continued their floating, until they noticed the slight scent of pancakes, which made Zen hungry. Not wanting to scream, they swam towards the swimming fellow"Breakfast's ready?"They said in a slightly hoarse voice
"Oh no, it's alright i can make some myself, I'll see you later uh.."Zenith tilted their head, not knowing the other's name, which is quite embarrassing."Apologies for my behaviour, what's your name?"

"I see, thanks for informing me Monika, I'll see you later"They swam back to shore and was on their way back to the tent area, only to look back for a few seconds just to engrave it into their memory. Sighing, they turned their back from the lack and planned to make pankeki
