Re: NIGHT TIME

[kalaaveisto]

Ah... I don't know how to explain it. I don't mean anything strange by it.

[OR... DOES HE]

Re: NIGHT TIME

[jonahh]

It if makes you feel any better, I'm not into you like that.

Yeah... And we don't know how that all works - how he kills, I mean, it doesn't seem...

[pause. blink]

Er, sorry, a woodsman. I cut down trees.

I said no, didn't I?

[He can't bring himself to be mad he's bothering him though. At least someone cares.]

[Even if it's just for his own skin.]

/did you know that when you open doors they make sounds????

/turning around and--

Hey, it's you again. Were you looking for me? I haven't made dinner yet but it's okay, enchiladas only take about half an hour!

E-enchiladas?

...

Why are you making dinner for me?

[VERY LOUD SNIFFLING before a shaky voice comes from behind the door]

Who is it? I am not allowing strangers!

Re: uhn

[rationelle]

/eye roll

Um duh because it's almost dinner time? I'm making them for whoever wants them--I mean, you surely must be hungry, yeah? I'm starving! And I can't find any liquid nitrogen in here--I knew I shoulda ate before I started searching this place!

It's me! Jakub.

[feels doubt creep into his mind - what if she didn't mean it after all? maybe she was just too shocked and confused the other day]

[yes, that's a real possibility - she was terribly beside herself]

[but even so... she likes trees, right?]

[she understands him]

[maybe]

uhn

[(Anonymous)]

[blinks - whoa, she is going much too fast again]

What is liquid nitrogen? For what do you need it?

Re: uhn

[rationelle]

Well, I was going to make ice cream with it--it freezes the ice cream super fast and gives it this great texture and all! But I can't find it! Just a bunch of other chemicals that won't even be helpful. What a pain in the ass. But, whatever, I'll make something else for dessert. --Hey, you have any suggestions?

uhn

...

No.



Wait-- a-apple mush?

[well guess what, the door bursts wide open and you have a crying redhead launching herself onto you]

It is so horrible! That-that horrible man making a threat!

Re: uhn

[rationelle]

Huh? Do you mean like applesauce or something? Or oh how about a crisp? I betcha I could make some apple cinnamon rolls too if you're in the mood for that! I mean who doesn't like cinnamon rolls? Yeah, wow, you have good ideas!

/NODNOD

[uhn]

Uh--!

[struggles to keep his balance, hug her with one arm and hold on to the glass with the free hand]

...

You have been crying since you got the photo? I am sorry; I should have come to you sooner..!

[hesitantly pulls her a little closer, wondering which loved one she had threatened]

[probably a parent or sibling]

uhn

[(Anonymous)]

[rapid blinking]

Yes... that, that all sounds tasty...

[she doesn't seem very sad]

orange!anon

[(Anonymous)]

[she is shoving that photo of a beautiful, tall orange tree crossed out with a bloody red X into your face]

He cannot possibly think of it! It is too cruel!

Re: uhn

[rationelle]

Well, of course it does, and it will be great because I made it, and you need to eat, so this woks out pretty well, huh?

/frowning

I really thought there'd be some liquid nitrogen here. Ice cream would be nice right now.

[gasps in shock]

Th--that--!

[swiftly looks up and down the empty corridor, then nudges her back into her room and closes the door behind him]


I...

You...

[she does understand him]

...

My tree, too.

[looks her in the eye]

Hm...

Can we not make ice from fruit juice? We only need forms for it, and sticks... then we can put it in the...

[actually no, they can't]

[the freezer is occupied]

Eh? Your... tree? You, too?
