[ listens. ok, that... kind of sounds familiar. sounds like something she'd do too, unfortunately. looks from king to intensity. ]

[ changed? like... how? ]

...

[ ??? ]

Ok, are you... going to show me?

[ her phone is back at the beach, so there is no chiming here. it's with her clothes and probably being claimed by the crab she'd attempting to stomp into oblivion earlier. all your stuff is belong to crab!!! ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ... Oh.

To Intensity: ]

She left her things on the beach. Send it to mine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[SMASH CUT TO THIS. Edited by Pulse

Intensity waits, blinking for a ping that never comes.

And then.

Oh. Right.

Sends it to King instead.]

[420blazeit]

I guess I'll need to go get it at some point... assuming the tide hasn't taken it. [ or the crabs haven't stolen it. ]

[ looks to king. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He just. Wordlessly hands over the phone, picture already pulled up. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Let's be honest, you probably have a bush in your mouth in this shot]

[420blazeit]

[ 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.

[ denial,
#nailedit. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He pockets the phone and gives her arm another squeeze. ]

D.Va...

[ She's not fooling anyone, including herself ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There is no reason we'd lie to you about this.

[420blazeit]

It could just be a joke....

[ a cruel joke that’s definitely not funny. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

Seeing you upset isn't exactly my idea of humor.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And it wasn't like you were any more difficult to manage than you are normally.

[420blazeit]

So you’re telling me I just changed into that thing? Then what? How did we end up here? Beach isn’t exactly next door.

[puzzlekeeper]

There was a bit of a chase.

[ Understatement. ]

And then once we caught up to you, you picked us up and brought us here... I don't know why, exactly. But you made this nest first thing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You have an office somewhere around here?

[420blazeit]

[ sure seems like some details are missing... ]

I... see...
And that’s all?

[ looks between the two of them dubiously. ]

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. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

That's basically all. I Charmed you to calm you down -- sorry.

...

[ He points ]

You gave me a flower bush.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks over at the mangled bush]

You were overly concerned with it.

[And looking 1000% unapologetic for his laser grid. Sorry not sorry about the tail incident.]

[420blazeit]

[ she looks at his shoulder,
lifting a brow... though she's temporary distracted by the mangled bush. ]

And I gave you the bush because?
What did I do?

[puzzlekeeper]

. . .




[ SIGHS, and pulls aside his shirt, revealing the fresh bandage there. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whoaaaaaaaa.









He actually admitted to it.

This is serious stuff.]

[420blazeit]

[ 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.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He reaches for that hand as she withdraws it, defiantly lacing their fingers together. ]

I forgive you. You didn't mean to.

[ Probably. He assumes. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Can confirm you were just trying to slobber on him.

[After the fact, anyway. Why should before be any different?]

[420blazeit]

[ grips his hand tight. ]

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.

Maybe I should invest in a shock collar.
