If we sleep in the Ikea, does it count as haunting the place?
[ hi alex we're in the ikea and it's just the massive bed section, a sea of a showroom with various bedroom sets on display. his jacket rustles and out pops a tiny head as he takes a drink from a mcdonald's to-go cup. ]
[ he flops down immediately on a bed to sit, leaning back on his hands. meanwhile, topper is happy for attention because he is Baby and clambers out of eiden's jacket to say hello! secret baby. ]
His name's Topperβa friend from home. I woke up with him.
[ because eiden is here at the basketball court watching topper just aggressively get his zoomies out. he is just running tiny circles and occasionally hopping back up on the bench to squeak aggressively and cuddle for a bit. off to the side, there's some folded up receipt paper and an ikea pencil. ]
[ smecks cola on the head welcome, we are gathered here at the canal where it's maybe early afternoon. watching one of the slowly-moving gondolas, eiden gestures at alex with a wave. ]
The new park? Heard there are huge squirrels there.
[ how can he pass up huge squirrels. topper is also here because he wishes to be set free in the park for his own fun. he squeaks hello at alex cheerily. ]
[ because we already sense the dread in this week. as alex says this, because i imagine the changing rooms are open on the top of the stall, eiden pops out from one with a very kim possible outfit on. ]
Yeah, you know, I'm liking it better than last week. [ adjusting his belt. ] I was thinking greaser, but I kind of like this more. Lowkey, y'know?
[ ohhh so fashionable... she is in a giant hoodie and jeans. it's fine. ]
The greaser look would be pretty cool though. [ she's looking through racks of dresses, generally unimpressed. ] And yeah, last week was likeβtoo much of it looked like costumes. Clothes should be more comfortable!
[ whoa well that's jarring? wtf pig. eiden blinks a little at seeing that and squints for a moment, takes it in. sometimes, you can kind of hear the hesitation in someone's voice. ]
[ alex is certainly good at talking around things. but terrible at telling direct lies. so it is with the exact same wobbling, obvious-lie tone that she replies: ]
[ alex can be found at the park, sitting on a swing, slowly pushing back and forth a bit. man what else do you even do when a bunch of people die except. sulk somewhere. but she'll wave to eiden when she spots him. ]
[ literally what else can you do it's another friday, woohoo! he's just laying at the bottom of the slide staring upwards waiting for the earth to just swallow him whole. he does hear alex though and turns his head, sitting up a little bit. ]
Hey.
[ the thoughts are miserable and over-thinky about just. so many details. ]
It's like you see it coming because it happens every week, but it just keeps hitting closer to home. [ flops back ]
[ he is just sitting somewhere eating a bunch of cookies from a napkin in outer park. this is our sad little picnic time. topper is here and steals a cookie and races past alex's feet to disappear so i don't have to play him. he'll turn a little and wave. ]
