9. ♙ audio | desert city + slugs

[awkwards]

[ slugs, slugs and more slugs! alisha makes a really disgusted noise as she flicks one off her arm. ]

Er - What the fuck is up with all these slugs? Anyone got some repellent or whatever?

[ hear a disgusted squeal. ]

Fuck!

[ but she doesn't really know there's one sliding in her hair, making it's way to her ear … ]

[ oh lawd. ]

I don't think there's repellant.

voice;

[awkwards]

Well - There fucking should be. They're all over me - It's disgusting!

[ gross, did she just spot another one? ]

Wait, you don't have any in your city?

voice;

[invisibilities]

I haven't seen any.

[ but he's just in the apartment, so. ]

voice;

[awkwards]

Did you ever end up coming to the desert?

[ and oh, there it goes in her ear ... kind of gross. she slaps the side of her face a few seconds too late. ]

voice;

[invisibilities]

Yes.

I couldn't find you.

voice;

[awkwards]

[ hmm, that doesn't sound like simon to her. he's always managed to find her; pre-her ever acknowledging his existence and him as a superhoodie. she doesn't like to think over the lucy event, since, well, curtis was an idiot and killing a rat was disgusting. maybe the glass city was filled with shape shifters ... ]

You always could before.

[voice]

[designedtoparty]

I think think you should be letting those things touch you.

[He's assuming they are, or else why would she be assaulting his ears like this?]

[voice]

[awkwards]

[ because she loves you. ]

You think I'd let them all over me?

[ beat. ]

Right. It's you. You got any slugs on you?

[ besides being one yourself ♥ ... ]

[voice]

[designedtoparty]

I didn't say you'd let them.

[Oh, wait. That's exactly what he said.]

Maybe you need to run faster.

[He stops to check himself before he answers. You never know.] I think I'm slug-free. For the moment, anyway.

[voice]

[awkwards]

You're always fucking slug-free. It's us who always get shit thrown on them.

[ it's nothing personal, bro. just a slug in her head. the hostility, however, is all you. ]

He wouldn't be dead if you weren't such a wanker.

[voice]

[designedtoparty]

[Sob. What?]

Woah, okay. You might want to back up a bit there. I haven't killed anyone.

[voice]

[awkwards]

[ it's the slugs! alisha just feels so much grr at nathan right now. it's a pity he's nowhere near her. she has something she'd like to stab him with. and the reason why she's projecting this onto nathan is because she blames herself for what happens to future!simon. and it's so much easier to take it out on nathan than it is to admit it. ]

Maybe if you didn't say he was that stupid bloke on the video game, then none of this shit would've happened. Ever since I met you, people started dying.

[voice]

[designedtoparty]

Seriously? People die because of the shit that storm keeps giving us. I don't have a clue what the fuck you're talking about.

[voice]

[awkwards]

You - [ slug!alisha is just getting super frustrated, so, you know, different tactic. she wants to bash his head in with a bat, which isn't original, since jessica's dad pretty much bashed his head against a sink, but whatever. ] - Where are you?

[voice]

[designedtoparty]

My room. [Or at least the one he's been using here.]

Where else am I going to be?

[voice]

[awkwards]

Somewhere safe, maybe. We should stick together in this shithole, don't you think?

[ ... so she can violently attack you, bro. ]

[voice]

[designedtoparty]

[:( So cruel.]

Pretty sure this is about as safe as it's going to get.
