Unfamiliar Faces

Oct 21, 2011 23:09

Some pumpkins scream; some cry; some beg for mercy; some whisper cruel words. There are, however, two pumpkins that differ. One, a man, sits on a stake outside the library. The other, a woman, is set outside along a pathway leading to the Great Keep ( Read more... )

Just because the keep is slowly descending into some cheesy halloween mystery doesn't mean Sollux is going to cut out his normal activities. So he's headed to the library to go play the video games, but pauses on his way there. That male pumpkin's voice is different than the others...

The pumpkin's eyes lock onto Sollux. For a few seconds, it stares, unblinking, and then it speaks.

"Get out while you can," it whispers.

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 04:27:33 UTC

"You say that like I have somewhere to go."

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 04:33:45 UTC

"You do. There's more. This is a prison."

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 04:35:17 UTC

"No shit? Of course this is a prison, but I don't have anywhere else to go."

He sighs and shakes his head, then looks up to the sky. "Besides, its not like there's a way out of here. Unless you want to tell me one."

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 04:39:32 UTC

"There's always a way. I found it."

The pumpkin grins. If a pumpkin could look smug, this one would.

"It's in the words."

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 04:42:44 UTC

Sollux scoffs. "You're a fucking talking pumpkin, if this is getting out I think I'll pass. I like having a body and the ability to move."

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 04:55:08 UTC

The pumpkin sneers. "This isn't getting out, stupid. I'm here. But you don't have to be."

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 05:00:13 UTC

"So you found a way to get out and instead decided to stay around and give people cryptic warnings about how they should leave. Like you didn't do. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, you certainly don't sound untrustworthy at all."

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 05:10:02 UTC

"You'd believe Deior over me? Over anybody?" The pumpkin scowls. "Fine. Make your fucking choice."

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 05:12:56 UTC

SIGH.

"Just because I don't believe you doesn't mean I believe Deior instead. It just means what you're saying is stupid.
In fact I'm pretty sure I didn't mention him or the shit he says at all. You wanna tell me why you jumped to that conclusion?"

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 05:29:21 UTC

"Because you would." It grits its pumpkin teeth. "Because everyone does, until they can't, and even then they don't try to leave."

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 05:33:10 UTC

"Okay, I'm going to tell you this one more time and I'll go slow for you. I. Don't. Have. Anywhere. Else. To. Go. Even if that shit about our universes being unmade isn't real mine is still gone."

And he may have somethings here he doesn't want to give up yet, anyway. Sollux sighs and shakes his head, "I'm not really looking forward to aimlessly wandering through the multiverse, so unless you have directions to the nearest universe that doesn't have a problem with trolls and has actual modern conveniences you're not really fucking helping."

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 06:07:38 UTC

The frown disappears, and the pumpkin raises its eyebrows.

"If you don't have one, make one."

thii2ii22tupiid October 22 2011, 06:09:07 UTC

"How the fuck am I supposed to make a universe?"

keep_hallways October 22 2011, 07:21:58 UTC

"Beats the hell out of me." If the pumpkin could shrug, it would - but sadly, it has only a post for a body. "But Deior can remake them, or so he says. It's possible."
