                                     so                                    there once was   a       ch         il          d       fraught and harried they fought,             and carried their heart on their sleeve.           they bit and chew, choked and swallowed        every bit of story, tale they wrapped in sugar.      tied up strings, spit embers, family friendly fire      cotton candy, lemon bitter, applesauce carmel-        oh! this sickly shade of yellow and sour wine          swirled worlds meant for only adults to tell.            put the Fates in their hand so to enact             revenge on those too young to know.                slowly seek a little bit of comfort                   and aim to find a new home.                          Oh,                Apollo

EVIL birthday

“it’s not my birthday!”

[mnahn-hlirgh]

skibidi toilet

“okay yeah”

[mnahn-hlirgh]

(Distantly, there's something sweet. Or... perhaps not so distant at all, just faint. Something's baking, and it doesn't smell quite like bread, but close. There's the soft clicks of ceramic footsteps against wooden floors to accompany the smell. The nameless doll is in the kitchenette.)

[[Apollo slowly got out of bed, following the smell. Shit was… weird and off right now, but they were home, so it was probably fine. Clearly some time had passed, had they just.. run on autopilot for a bit?]]

[mnahn-hlirgh]

you’re three now boy

in more ways than one lmao

“…What? No, no, no I’m not. I just turned thirteen, I’m not-“

[mnahn-hlirgh]

Boy you were out for a long time...

“whuh”

[[They sat up now.]]

“..????”

[mnahn-hlirgh]

[[Apollo blinked, then squinted at the anon and furrowed their eyebrows.]]

“no, no, that’s not right-“

[[They whispered their response.]]

“my birthday was a while ago- not too long ago, but.. not recently.”

[mnahn-hlirgh]

[[ . . .

. . .

Apollo jumped awake.

How long had they been asleep? What was going on? They looked around, finding themself at.. the lighthouse. Home.

Deep inside, they knew they had missed something. There was a big gap right in their chest, and they weren’t feeling the stab wounds. Something was supposed to have happened- they were supposed to meet someone, weren’t they?- but.. it was just.. static.

They don’t even remember coming home. Maybe they’d just disassociated too close to the sun. It couldn’t have been that long. They didn’t know what day it was anyway. Who cares.

They took a deep breath, realizing they were shaking- why were they shaking? They’d likely just.. had a bad dream and gotten startled awake. That’s it.

Apollo laid back down, trying to will themself back to sleep.]]

[mnahn-hlirgh]

You’ve got people worried sick about ya you know?

[[They laughed.]]

Worried? About them? HA! Must be a fool to care in the first pla- [[Which quickly cut off into more laughter as they leaned against a tree.]]

[mnahn-hlirgh]

your mom is worried about you

[[They laughed, covering their face with one hand and the other clawing at their hair.]]

[mnahn-hlirgh]

[[After a decent amount of struggle, they finally manage to get up, realizing The Beast has left.]]

[[And they immediately delve back into cheery arguing.]]

[mnahn-hlirgh]

[[There was a moment of silence before, tone drowned in happiness, they all started trying to incomprehensibly scream at each other at the same time- which was a painfully horrible sound that slowly dissolved into laughter.]]

{You hear the faint clattering of shackles and chains against the ground. A vampire BEAST prowls around, his tail swinging behind him. He's hunched over like some kind of animal. Even in this posture, he stands quite tall in comparison to you. It looks like xe hasn't seen you...yet.}

- @hes-in-a-cage :>

[[They dragged themself behind a tree, laughing quietly.]]

ohhhohohohoho look what you’ve gotten us into now-

[[And then, wings flaring out-]]

ME?! HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?!

[[All said in a cheery tone, a bright smile on their face despite the numerous injuries.]]
