WHO: all
WHERE: all
WHEN: Day 9, evening into night

[the sun goes down; the two moons rise.

it all looks...quite different. the laundromat lengthens and transforms the silhouette of Woolietown in the distance. the lighthouse beacon comes to life for the first time, throwing strong, brilliant light and stark shadows across the meadow and into the barns. the lazy river encircles the pasture in a glittering band, the bobbing shapes of the pool toys a little bit eerie until they drift into full view.

perhaps some of you are winding down. perhaps some of you are just gearing up for a wild adventure in the shadows. perhaps some of you, regardless of if you sleep or stay up, find your dreams and nightmares crawling out beyond the bounds of your own head tonight, drawing others in...

the night is full of possibilities.]

[If you haven't quite made it to sleep yet, or if you wake from a nightmare abruptly, and are looking out past the fence to the wider expanse of meadow, you might see an ominous human silhouette against the double moons.

If you manage to catch it when the beam from the lighthouse sweeps that way, though, it's a little bit less unnerving, and you can Vicious gathering together some things to make camp by a collection of rocks on a gentle hill. He has learned exactly enough of a lesson to not go into the forest again, but not enough to seek actual shelter.]

[eonsadrift]

[ It's Clover camp-out night so he's not sleeping anyway to keep watch, and an ominous silhouette is definitely worth investigating. He keeps his distance initially, but he's now obviously watching Vicious set up his camp. ]

...oh? What do we have here?

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious looks up from gathering together some grass together for bedding.]

...What? Where?

[eonsadrift]

[ He waves! He's gotten closer now so Vicious can probably spot him. ]

Care to explain what you're doing out here?

[stirtheblood]

[Once Vicious sees him, he flops to lay back on his gathered grass.]

What does it look like I'm doin' out here?

[eonsadrift]

Making a really pathetic camp. Don't you know it's dangerous out here?

[stirtheblood]

Nah, that's further out in the forest.

[eonsadrift]

So you think you’re safe to sleep out in the open here, just because it’s not as bad as the forest?

[stirtheblood]

Yeah?

[Like ??? what else could that mean?]

Well, not perfectly safe. But leavin' a little room is what makes life interestin'.

[eonsadrift]

Ah... I see. You are as stupid as you look.

[stirtheblood]

Hey! You don't know shit about me!

[eonsadrift]

Oh, I can get a pretty good idea.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious grins, a little coldly.]

Oh yeah? Hit me. What ideas ya got?

[pictureimperfect]

[only sees the silhouette and SPOOKED]

Who's there?! If you're another hungry plant I taste terrible.

[stirtheblood]

Eh?

[Vicious lifts his head to look over at him]

What, there are man-eatin' plants out here too?

[pictureimperfect]

There are and they're terrible. Don't be terrible like them.

[stirtheblood]

Ha! Oh, I ain't. I'm terrible in all my own way.

And that's on a good day.

[pictureimperfect]

Does your way have tentacles.

[stirtheblood]

Not usually.

[pictureimperfect]

Then your brand of terrible can only be an improvement.

[stirtheblood]

Baby, there are way worse things in this world than tentacles.

[pictureimperfect]

Baby?! I'm too young for names like that. What kind of ideas are you having?? Oh no, a pervert!

Not just any pervert, if your ideas are worse then tentacles you must be some kind of super pervert!

[stirtheblood]

Eh? I'm talkin' about fightin'. If you're thinkin' of stuff like that, sounds like you're the pervert to me.

[pictureimperfect]

[i assume vicious is abs out as always]

You are a creepy half naked stranger calling a 14 year old kid baby and making suspicious sounding threats about tentacles I have been warned about people like you. Don't try and turn the tables when you're the one being so sketchy.

[stirtheblood]

[yes. he is wearing his usual clothes]

Oh, you've definitely been warned about people like me. I ain't denyin' I'm bad news. But you ain't just some innocent kid bein' victimized when you're the one who brought up the tentacles.
