[alwayswillbe]

Stan raises an eyebrow at her, uncertain. It's hard to predict the direction the words mean to take, where they might lead.

"I think 'cursed' is probably taking it a bit far," he offers. Unorthodox, sure, but given the entirety of everything, that's essentially par for the course. "What do you mean?"

[burlesquer]

[ it isn't in meredith's nature, to push away what little good is in her life. and even if it was, there wouldn't be much to deflect. she lived a stifled life in the 707. dancing at the bang-a-rang, selling a little scratch on the side and dreaming of the day she'll be able to leave for good. all the while knowing that day won't come. people like her don't get more in life, that's just the way of things.

but then, men like stan don't stumble into her path all that often, and on the rare occasion they do, they tend to leave just as quickly. but he hadn't, and she doesn't know what to do with that. ]

Look around, dollface. [ raking one hand through pinup curls, an exasperated sigh passes through crimson lips. ] Nothing good comes out of the 707, it's a stone-cold fact. If you stick around... [ trailing off, she offers a halfhearted shrug, corners of her mouth quirking into a sad little smile. ] You're too good to make it here.

[ambitious]

"I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms."

hai. I saw this and immediately thought of Stan's gaydar.

[trashylittlesecret]

Don't you know too much already?

Lollllll

[alwayswillbe]

"Define 'too much,'" he counters, like any of this rests easy. It all sucks, on all sides, and it's the burden of his observation skills. "I've known you since we were in diapers, asshole, and you're not that hard to read."

High school OK?

[trashylittlesecret]

He's belly-flopped on the couch, feet up in the air, as usual not paying attention to the Uris Household's 'no shoes in the house' rule. Because in his mind, when you're an old friend of the family, you can get away with shit.

"I'm not? .... Fuck." One arm oozes off the side of the couch to pick up the can of Coke he's been nursing since they got there. "... How many people do you think can tell?"

[ Tragedy 15? Romance 19? Works in both directions 😌 Maybe they just finished a really dicey drop with a very close call, one that has them doubting what they’re doing... ]

[just_survive]

[ oof. either/or tbh, they're both great. dicey drop and close call and Doubt sounds perfecttttt ]

[dog_eat_dog]

[ wanna do tragedy 15 then? ]

[ Yessssss ]

[ ooc: SORRY the week was more obnoxious than anticipated ]

Well that's a depressing thought.

[ He frowns at her words, regarding her wearily. It is what it is, sure, this new world has made monsters of them all, so to speak, but that doesn't mean he likes dwelling on it. On how cold and distant it's made him, how casually and avidly he's taken to the new, necessary, way of life. ]

You okay?

[dog_eat_dog]

[ooc: no worries!!]

[ Tess mulls that over for a moment. No, she's not okay. Nothing is okay. How has it been twenty years of bullshit and in that time, the only time it's been even remotely okay is when she lets herself sink into the worst of it, to be the violence?

She leans against the door. It creaks a little under her weight. She has thought, many times, that it will not hold for long in a crisis, should the QZ walls fall and the people and infected overrun them and get all the way past her apartment building gates. Nothing feels stable.

Nothing but him, maybe, and even then, only just.

Tess shakes her head. No.]

I'm just thinking about how many times either of us would be dead if we weren't covering each other.

Norman | The Promised Neverland

[wagyubrain]

[This boy is a child so no romance unless you're Emma or also 11 or 12.

OTA otherwise!]

[historicalrecords]

“It haunts me every time I close my eyes.”

[wagyubrain]

Norman showed up one day looking a little worse for wear. He had nothing but the dirty clothes on his back, a serial number tatooed on his neck, and a smear of blood on his cheek from where something scratched him, but he was polite, didn't complain, and was eager to help around the bunker. It was enough to earn his place there, even if he refused to say where he came from.

But he has a lot of screaming nightmares. That's something his roommates will have to get used to.

He's had another one. This one has him springing out of bed in the middle of the night, gasping for air, and scurrying out of the shared bedroom. If history tells it, he's probably rushing to the bathroom to splash his face with a lot of water.

[historicalrecords]

Philip isn't sure where Norman came from, he kind of appeared between blinks in the dull daze of the bunker routines. A disruption in the overbearing monotony, it was...curious. The Director didn't allow this sort of unknown to happen, yet here was this boy, disheveled and dirty and in need of somewhere to be. If The Director allowed it, no one argued, so the boy was taken, given fresh clothes, food, and whatever else they could manage among their limited resources in the bunker. They were already stretched so far beyond their capacity here... one, small child couldn't make that much of a difference, right? Nightmares in a world like theirs? Not so uncommon. The screams, though. Philip notes that's different. He's so young, and he was clearly from another bunker, or something worse, Philip didn't like guessing, and Norman didn't talk about it. He supposed the kid would come around eventually. Maybe he wouldn't. Still, routine is so very part of things here, and already in the short time he's been here, the kid has formed one-- fall in line like he should during the day, chores, meals, shower, sleep. But there's always nights where this is part of it his routine, too. And being one of his roommates? Well, it's become Philip's routine as well. He doesn't mind, he doesn't sleep much or well anyway. He has been... chosen. He'll be a Historian by the time it's over, and... the training for that? It's worse than he would have expected. Harder, emotionally, than he could have ever guessed. He has pills for it, but it only helps so much. He sighs softly as he hears the familiar, soft thump of feet running out of the room. He waits, counting seconds, before he gets up and slips quietly out of the room, wandering down the hall. He didn't want to appear in the bathroom and give the kid a heart attack, so he lets him find him wandering, on his way back to the room. Philip pauses in the hallway, frowning with concern. "Hey, couldn't sleep?" He sounds so much more casual than that question even is, considering he's been watching and noting the patterns of the boy for nearly a week now. Not that he needs to know that.

[wagyubrain]

Perhaps the biggest thing that makes Norman stand out from other children from bunkers is that he's well-fed. His frame is growing at a brisk, age-appropriate pace, his teeth show no sign of damage or starvation, his body shows no scars or physical trauma, and his nails and hair are all strong, showing no history of nutritional deficiency. Yet despite the fact he seems to have had a good time of it so far, he still has those screaming nightmares, and he still has a very particular look in his eye when any of the others take him by surprise. He always has a stiff ridge to his mouth when he first sees them, like he's waiting for something, but then his lips curl in a polite smile and he's like a house with its curtains closed and its door locked, though the welcome mat is still out.

He looks at Philip like that now. Still for less than a second, taking him in with a face more serious than it should be, but then it softens with a polite smile that doesn't reach his eyes.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?"

Of course he woke Philip up. He knows that. But Norman is good at playing coy when he wants to.

[historicalrecords]

There is something far more grave in the boy's eyes, only for the briefest split second before it's gone, and he's the picture of innocence and manners. It's a sharp contrast, Philip notices though he doesn't ask. He doesn't find it to be his place to.

"I was awake anyway," he admits with a shrug. That was completely true, at least. "it's hard to sleep with so much in my head." He's not sure Norman knows what he's doing during the days that he's training, but it doesn't matter. Whether he knows the deeper point behind that statement or just takes it for what it sounds like on the surface is all the same-- he just wants to give the kid some kind of distraction from... whatever he kept dreaming about.

"Wanna go for a walk?" Not like there was much else to do, anyway.

[wagyubrain]

Norman is always watching and learning. Even when he seems focused on something else, he's always intent on learning everything about the people around him and how things work in the bunker.

He hesitates, considering the offer. Norman is a cautious child, but he's also very practical. Time alone with adults means time that he can learn things they may not tell him with others around.

"A walk sounds nice," he agrees, keeping his hands at his sides. His smile is mild, but his posture is rigid. "Do you take a lot of walks at night?"

[historicalrecords]

He nods a little at the agreement to go for a walk and he starts with easy steps, leading the way down one of many long, dull chrome hallways in the facility. Being he agreed to tag along, Philip expects the boy to fall in measured step with him, and he keeps his pace leisurely. No point in rushing, he isn't sleeping any time soon.

He tilts his head and says, in response to Norman's question, "It helps me sleep, sometimes. Gets whatever's on my mind out because I'm focusing on where I'm going, instead of whatever is keeping me up." He looks a little more directly at the boy next to him. "You have nightmares a lot." It's a statement rather than a question-- there's no denying it, nobody screams like that over nothing. He doesn't actually ask anything, but the question hangs in the air between them anyway.
