You hear the sound of a train steadily approaching.

You're inside of a tree. You can hear the buzzing of your HIVEMATES outside, waiting for a human to pass. You were never really much for all the hard work that came with TRICKS. You just want to LAUGH.

For you, the relaxing DARKNESS is enough until then. Still, you can't help but feel like something horrible is about to happen...

...Maybe it has something to do with that SMOULDERING PILE in the corner? ...Yeah. Your HOME catching on FIRE definitely seems like a horrible thing. How did that even happen?

You can look around (not that there's much to see), but really, you only have one choice.

Do you snuff the SMOULDERING PILE out?

>YES
NO

[ This was not on his shit of things that were planned today. ]

This is different.

[ Looking at the fire ]

Fuck!

Snuffing the fire out!

The room returns to darkness.

Once upon a time, there was a world full of creatures. All of them magical -- born of the earth, the sea, the skies. Given life by the light of the sun, finding comfort in the dark of the night.

BOOP.

(You've forgotten what 'home' feels like. Will anything ever be this comfortable again?)

HUMANS are so much fun! TRICKS are great and all, but they have such great games of their own. Besides, they're pretty good at TRICKING themselves.

It's pretty funny, really. Maybe leaving your HIVE was a good idea.

Last night, the HUMANS you're with started up a CAMPFIRE. Of course, they're never comfortable in the DARKNESS. That's just the sort of creature they are.

Huh...it seems like they left it burning, though. They're leaving now. They actually just left their tents and food and really basically everything else here. Weird.

You can look around, but really, you only have one choice.

This seems kind of dangerous, in the middle of a forest, doesn't it? Maybe you should put the CAMPFIRE out.

[ Looking around that this scene and glancing at Caracal. ]

Strange choices here.

[ no shit, Sherlock ]

There's somethin' wrong here.

The felines are not going to put out the fire!

The HUMANS led you to a HUMAN TOWN. It's so different from the HIVE! Everything is so much more exciting, and busy, and there's so many things to see...

It seems like some HUMANS aren't as happy as you, or your HIVEMATES. But maybe that's the price of being HUMAN. It's interesting, anyway. You think you'll stay here for awhile. There's a lot of nice shops with things to play with, and cute children, and even a neat tree you could maybe hollow out.

You can look around, but really, you only have one choice.

...There's a blacksmith, and their FORGE is...well, the light is attractive. You stay near it sometimes, at night. And you like to watch them work. But isn't all that FIRE really dangerous? Maybe you should put the FORGE out?

[ Well. That plan didn't work and he's furrowing his brow. ]

You've been here for awhile, living amongst them. It's been fun, but...the HUMANS have started to get a bit scary. It's starting to not be so fun, anymore. They mass produce their goods in buildings full of fire and screaming metal, and the ones who sell them don't seem to care about the ones who make them.

They don't like playing with you as much, anymore. You think some of them have even stopped trusting you. You don't understand why. You've learned to build like they do, to live like they do, to have fun like they do...

You want to go home.

But first, you have one choice. There's something you need to do. Downstairs, there's a man, maimed and wounded, and in so much pain. Pain. They taught you what that was. Humans don't like it. Maybe you snuff out the man's pain?

[ FUCK OFF, ECHO. F U C K. O F F. And he's just going to be bitterly laughing here, gripping a mug of coffee tight. ]

[ so Wolfwood's failing. powerless to do a damn thing, in the end. these hands weren't enough, never were, just bore the illusion of it for a while. not a damn thing, yeah, that's right. what the hell is she doing here? this isn't the kind of shit she wanted to get caught up in.

she wants to go home. ]

Go to hell.

Edited 2015-10-06 06:54 (UTC)

NOPE.

[ Nah, how about you snuff your own flame out, douchebag. ]

[ grins. ]

Yes.
