* ❪ 🦇 ❫ : 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁. 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 with the notion; the ability to financially rely on others just by the mere fact that they had to, if they wanted a roof over their head. an advantage that he takes with a monthly pleasure. but. each of them had dug their way here, underneath his skin. a glowing ember within the coal mines of someone who had put that fire out a long time ago. tired, strung out, muscles aching with every passing breath. ready to retire at an early age, life insurance comp for anyone who needed it. disappointed in absolutely fuck all he had to offer, at absolutely nothing he would leave behind. this was his sole concern. surviving day by day. there was no reason to feel antsy about something that nipped at his heels as he slept, as he woke, as he left a slug trail behind him. death was a promise mere inches from finch kiskova's reach. the apparition of elyse isn't enough to alarm him, choosing to lay there with the high that envelopes his mind like a warm gauze tucked into the ridges of his brain. luckily for them it meant he was in a good mood, good enough to entertain their query. ❛ nope. ❜ he answers, plain and simple. as if expecting her to ask that very same question all along. ❛ i think whatever happens is what you deserve. ❜ which only pertained to adults, of course. even finch believed that children and animals should be kept off limits. ❛ especially that old fuck at redstone who wouldn't let me get my FUCKING COAT ! zmorshkuvata pyzda. ❜ a yell at no one in particular, as if the individual in question would hear him from there. redstone, the same establishment that offered him warmth, a shelter from redcreek's paranormal bullshit. the cocktail of opioids seep into his bones like a heavy weighted blanket, goose flesh rising along his bare arms in the body's automatic response to its biology. ❛ let me guess. something happened and you're on the hunt for an excuse so you can feel good about being a loser. is that it ? ❜ free of any true malice in his voice. instead, a matter of fact air that continues to exist even when he's inevitably, completely fucking wrong.
to elyse, stranger danger was nothing more than a tactical method, one whose purpose was to suppress and illicit that specific fear of the outside that kept kids at the compound in line. to them, now, was a whole world was out there for exploration. danger was the cliff one must leap from to cross over to the side of connection — it was necessary for all things real, all things human. it was why she sat here now, intentionally occupying a seat directly beside a face only obscured by the shade of night, attuning their ears to the ringing of crickets and splashes of freshwater fish. the more self-doubting parts of elyse hoped that her fidgeting and lack of words wouldn't be mistaken for meekness. instead, she remained, silence interjected with momentary glances over at the other, some that lingered while others did not, hoping to not startle them. “ do you — ” they began, voice adding to the subdued chorus of nighttime noises. “ do you think people can - can be cursed ? ”
LOCATION — deer lake, sat around one of the crackling firepits
TIME — early nighttime

@inhal4tion : nico
date : 24.12.2024
fingertips press against cold glass , the contrast of cool to warm always reminding her where she was ... still here . everybody knew that she loved to drink with the best of them , inevitable alcohol tolerance heightened from years of wars waged against her own body . it took a lot for her to be pushed over the edge now ... the past ten years a time where perseverance had seemed to rally against any attack she had decided to launch against the natural biological systems inside of her . she had a theory that her and her family lived fuelled solely by spite , even her father seeming to survive day by day , clinging onto his fading life force while everyone waited for him to kick the bucket . impressive yet scary . there was a reason she was drinking here and there was a reason that it was tonight , the festive revelling in the familiar location singling her out as she sat there . a central seat as her gaze finds him through the slowly decreasing number of celebrants who file out the bar half cut , grabbing onto each other in joy and warmth that makes a small part of her slow beating heart tremble in its constructed chamber . she didn't come here to celebrate or even commiserate ... she came here for him . and god ... it couldn't have been any more obvious in everything but words spoken . he would never hear gabi say that she came to find him ... even as she sits there watching him like a hawk , an invitation not offered but so explicit that it might as well be written in bold font on a piece of paper . but she would never say a word ... not that she came for him ... not that she wanted him ... not that she needed him . even if there were times where she could have sworn , if she looked a little too closely , they had needed each other . fleeting moments , her chair moves slightly , eyes catch , over the quieting music . " last call ? "

★ ⋰ i shouldn't be here. that's all santiago can think tonight, from the moment he stepped into the bar. i shouldn't finish this. he thinks, even though he's staring down an empty glass. he's been here before— evading the harshness of life at the bottom of a bottle. something looms beneath his skin in sobriety ; maybe the ghost of his past self. it stifles between these familiar walls, elbows on the bar & sat on his favorite stool— or it used to, at least. now, his mind races with red creek's grim reality this winter. at the unsolved murder looming over the town. at the disappearance of daniela. at the friendships slipping out of his fingers. i should stop here, he thinks. ❝ let's find out if the next one will start talkin'. ❞ is what he says instead. ❝ wanna take your chances with one too ? on me. ❞
for those who found religion at the bottom of their glass, nicolas could easily be conflated into something akin to a pastor — a priest, even, offering someone just a hint of salvation … two ounces of it, at least. isn't that why it's called a spirit ? semantics aside, this bar top, stained oak whose probably seen just as much blood as any living member of red creek provided ample surface for every admission that slipped past vodka-glistened lips. every fight, skirmish, and accidental knick was immortalized in its unyielding frame, touched by patrons both of this realm and those now of another. the white towel in hand, buffing off the stickiness of your typical nighttime rush, sanctifying it for yet another confessional. “ can i get you anything else, or are you just gonna keep lookin' for the meaning of life in the bottom of your glass ? ” he doesn't blame them, not for the vacancy or whatever it was that muddled a once-lively visage. nico saw it in everyone, more and more with each passing day, that specific draining of life he had only witnessed once, a while ago, and under a lesser, more blameless state of mind — childlike naïveté, the best chaser to all things real. “ i don't think you're gonna find it there - i've stared at enough of ‘em to know that, i guess. ———— or maybe you’ll just be the lucky winner. ”
CAPPING AT FIVE REPLIES or maybe more idk ... — 0 / 5 .

★ ⋰ the voice of another pulls santiago down from whatever cloud he's floating on. he blinks himself back into reality, directing his attention over as if he's just noticed another's presence. ( he's rolling on something. one last hurrah, if you will — though it's █████ ██████ ███ ████. ) ❝ people ? ❞ he mulls over the question in his mind, hopes that the silent pause isn't as long as if feels. there's an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach as he considers it. ❝ dunno about like, a curse on one person. seems like a lot of energy for like, a blip in the timeline. ❞ he lets his head lull back to look at the sky. ❝ places, though— think dead creek might have it covered. ❞
