[ she takes the phone and looks at what's on the screen. it sure is a... thing. she'd call bullshit, but the coloring and the tentacles make it kind of obvious. not to mention she's got a couple of witnesses. ]
[ so she got drunk, went for a swim, blacked out, turned into a monster, and then... ended up here. ]
[ confused. scared. in pain. s- scared. ]
...
That can't be me. [ shoves the phone back in his hands, grabbing the edge of intensity's trench and pulling it tighter around herself. ] I'd turn into a snake or something. Not whatever the hell stupid thing is.
I used to have a few rooms here before I got my shop. For my woodworking stuff, but then when that upgrade came through I packed up my shit and left. Didn’t make sense to keep anything here, so no.
I know *you* do, Intensity, on a floor full of nothing but cameras and laser beams. [ makes a face. ]
[ frowns, reaching out toward it, but hesitating a little bit in case he doesn't want her near it. ]
A bite or a scratch or... Iguessitdoesntmatter.
I'm sorry.
[ her fingers curl into her palm, hanging in between them before her hand drops back into the pillow pile. ] ... [ so she is a monster. ] I'm sorry I hurt you.
And that's probably because you charmed me. Who knows what might have happened if you didn't. [ hnnnnnnnnng. ] I'm glad I didn't do anything else though, since I feel awful enough knowing that... [ her eyes flicker to his shoulder. ] this.
[ flops straight into the pillows. maybe if she tries hard enough she'll suffocate and never have to face either of them again. #perf. ] ...thanks for helping him wrangle me or... whatever, Intensity.
