#the logic being if he's dead her fumbles will die with him? lmao

[mister-bloom]

Readying himself to take a shot at her chest, fishnetted digit gingerly aimed at her head to make it quick, no reason to leave a loose end. But just before he sends it jutting toward her, his finger twitches as his target is on the move--and taking yet another tumble, seeds shooting out from under her heel skitter across the ground toward him, spinning on it's side at his feet.

Bloom falters briefly, almost in disbelief that she'd gone and fumbled so spectacularly again. How pitiful, how embarrassing-

--how amusing. A chuckle bubbles up from him, he shifts to raise a hand as if to smother the sound escaping from him, hovering over the lower half of his 'face'.

"You think?" There's a hint of a laugh in his voice now overflowing with mirth. He tilts his head and considers her for a moment, how her hand hovered over her belt, clearly still trying to be at the ready. A click of a tongue before he steps back, retreating into the shadows of the unlit warehouse where no light filtered in through windows from streetlamps could reach. His monstrously large form disappeared, swallowed up by the darkness and copious stacks of wooden crates that equally matched his large stature.

He moved without a sound, the entire building except for River's own breathing was deafeningly silent.

It'd be a few tense minutes before the quiet would be broken by a distant scraping sound, shortly followed by a broom and dustpan that had been sent soaring across the warehouse to clatter on the floor a few feet from her.

"Clean up your mess then." drifted his voice from the dark, "Pick up every single last kernel you spilled. "

mister-bloom:

“Well I suppose I should start labeling my things–lest a two year old wander in and get confused.” he snarks but without much kick to it. Honestly he doesn’t really care that there was someone in his makeshift hideout snooping through his things. Because really, no one posed much of a threat to him.

Bloom watches dully as the stack of crates topples over, it collides with the ground and bursts open, an avalanche of his insidious seeds following.

“Sure you did.” he remarks dryly, the very epitome of apathetic, he even sighs. 

Crawling from his perch and growing to a monstrous size as he went to meet the floor more easily, now at least clocking out around twelve feet tall, at least. Moving closer to reach one of the undamaged boxes among the mound of seeds. 

“If you meant to be a nuisance, than you’ve done a fabulous job.” He lifts and places the crate elsewhere with surprisingly little effort before casting what you’d assume would be a glance in her direction, hard to tell with the flower and all, “Not sure you’ll like what I do with nuisances though.”

Well, she DOES aim to please. Fiendish flinger of knives, and things most toxic she may be, but one must always do their best to satisfy those silly little expectations in the work and character they put forward… Even if the situation in question is more than a tad ‘unexpected’.

That’s what she tells herself. That, and that it’s not at all ‘uncool’ to be startled by giant man-plant…Things. It’s not as if encounters like this are listed in the assassin’s job manual, after all; and with concern steadily flaring in her chest, River takes another tentative step back for each foot he stretches. Just how big was this guy, twelve feet? Thirteen? Could he continue to grow more?

She isn’t given the luxury to ruminate much on that thought though. Poor thing, it’s so hard to afford much attention to creepy seeds strewn across the floor like marbles, when there’s a guy filling the room like some kind of Hell-tree. Her back-slip onto the floor is as unceremonious as the box she’d knocked-over.

“Ehm…” Stupid mistake. River you idiot. Fingers twitch near one of the pockets on her utility belt, “Well I certainly hope it’s that you toss them a broom to sweep-up their little accident… It definitely occurs to me that I’m at the wrong warehouse, now.”

That’s probably the worst sting so far.

oops I slept all day again but i had some really cool ass dreams and I wanted to finish them lmfao

1) i was al and he had killed himself and came back as a ghost and the majority of the dream was just floating around random places and into them. we did so many home invasions.

i went to his old school to traumatize his old bullies with his ghostly form

i think he comes back to life maybe at the end im not sure because i remember rosie supporting him walking cuz he wasn't too stable on his feet for some reason

also we went to sheldons house for some reason and he lived in this gas station looking thing and you had to go down stairs and through security and gates like damn dude who's coming here

2) ame was in octo ex except she skipped levels so this one was like, practice which was bullshit

anyway we were in a mall and we got to explore around and it was a reused brain location it was cool as hell i wish it was real! anyway it was all a simulation and no one could actually interact or see her but she had a really fun time running around the mall, couldn't really buy anything though. all the exits and shops were barried off invisible force field style

she got some money for bao to eat before she started the test

the test was weird it was timed and the tasks were like "pet this frog" "brush this turtle" warioware ass shit...

the one I remember specifically was the final one where she had to finish this meal which was a burger. she (me) asked if she could not eat the tomatoes and tartar disembodied ai voice was like sure but you have to eat all of the rest of the burger. and like she dropped some onion rings on the floor somehow and had to eat it off the floor as per the rules 😭

also there was a side of bulgolgi with the burger idk why. No rice just meat. She took it to go it was good i think

anyway she successfully passed but was obviously grossed out by having to eat public floor onion rings, but she got money and food for passing so...

also for some reason as she was on her way to the elevator to leave the mall testing area she was chased by a creepypasta sonic that was kinda scary as shit okay!

also there were ads for the bulgolgi burger place in the elevator LMAO

3) same setting, ame is in octo ex, but the task this time was to like, scoop as much random shit from these barrels with a pair of tongs as u could. however this was knockout style, there were 3 other people, and one of them was ame's mom. Actually my mom in the dream but via dream logic it was ames mom. the other two were random hs classmates i think they're unimportant and I forgot lmao. anyway the winner got to move on but everyone else would be executed...

the supermarket was like hmart but one that doesn't exist. it was kinda like one i frequent but the layout was fucked up. anyway the shit in the barrels was literally random, there was sushi and watermelons and bottles of tea and frozen food but if u could pick it up you won and also you'd get to keep it although the stuff in the barrel was decoys. Allegedly. It was definitely real food being fumbled around but whatever.

anyway I developed a method to pick them up fairly easily which was to actually just balance them instead of using the giant ass tongs which thinking back should be a worse strategy but whatever 🤷🏻‍♀️ dream logic ig

i had piles and piles of stuff while the two randos were fumbling and my mom was doing fine, but ended up helping me instead of finishing hers

i ran out of stuff to pick up and started picking up random shit from nearby shelves and tartar yelled at me

in the end i (ame) won and so everyone else was to die and then I got distracted thinking about how i could incorporate these dreams into ame's canon story somehow bc they gave me emotions but i don't think it would make sense for her to have a dead mom in my story idrk. anyway cuz of that I never really finished that dream properly and that's probably a good thing bc it'd be weird to see your mom die via goop telephone

that's it I think lmao it's pitch black now oopsie. i actually woke up at 10 and then went back to sleep #fuck

wait bonus dream from proper sleep hours:

4) i was chasing my friend mozzy around in alterna, she had a squeezer and i had this fucked up in-between gun of splash and jet squelcher and it looked like a hand drill. moz could self heal but it was like potions so she was kinda fucked if it ran out HOWEVER! some dude who was a capybara came over and set me on minecraft fire and i was so flabbergasted I just stood there and died 👍

and that was the entire dream it was the shortest one I've ever had
