ONE: THE THINGS THAT CRAWL IN THE NIGHT
You haven't thought about the spiders that roam Norfinbury in awhile. But then something happens one night. It's after lockdown and you're all alone, but you can't sleep. How can you, when every time you try to drift off you hear the sounds of scurrying little legs? The sound gets louder, it multiplies, until its all around you. But where--where? Maybe they bugs are beneath the wallpaper, maybe they're under the floorboards. Maybe they're in the furniture. Or maybe, maybe they're just in your head. The tablet is the only thing you have to turn to. Even if you're the only one experiencing these sounds, maybe someone can talk you down, convince you that it's just a brief episode of paranoia that you can unwind from.
TWO: IT WAS ONLY JUST A DREAM
You wake up late into the night. You dreamed you were crawling through a tight, closed space, your body scraping against the metal, and know you don't belong here. Where are you going? The vent is dark, and you don't have your tablet with you. You think there's someone behind you, but you can't be sure. You pull yourself forward with one of your arms. And then you pull yourself forward with your other arm. And then you pull yourself forward with a third--one you shouldn't have. One that doesn't even belong to you.
Once your eyes are open you can still feel those extra limbs extending outward from your body, thin spider legs grabbing at air, clawing for purchase--but then the feeling passes. You're just you, and now you can't get back to sleep. Maybe someone else had the same dream?

THREE: RATE YOUR DISCOMFORT
You and your traveling companion have found an easy routine. Travel, search, hunker down, try to find a semblance of warmth and comfort for the night before you sleep and start all over again. You don't question when they offer you the last of the fresh fruit from your last run to the grocery store. It's a kind gesture, and perhaps you intend to return it the next chance you get. But the food sits uncomfortably in your stomach.
You can feel it, can't you? It's not churning inside of you but moving, squirming, crawling. Nothing relieves it. It doesn't hurt but you feel sick, you find yourself shuddering, but when you show your companion your shaking hands they don't seem to notice the way that your skin ripples with something unseen just underneath. Whatever you ate isn't just in your stomach. It's inside. You can feel it tickling up your throat, reaching up up up.
FOUR: IT SLEEPS BENEATH THE SNOW
You're almost there: the building is just ahead of you, and just in time for lockdown. The coast is clear...at least, that's what you think before the ground around the building begins to move. The snow shifts, snaking in a wide, giant circle around it. And then the monster reveals itself, snow falling from its hardened exoskeleton in chunks, a giant centipede-like anomaly with too-human eyes and hundreds of legs like stilettos decorated with razor blades.
It has you and your traveling companion in your sights--you're going to have to think faster than it can reach you if you want to get around it and into the house before the door locks and dooms the both of you.

no subject
and that hugs are carefully rationed out for special circumstances like a sad girl is crying on you or a stray dad has mistaken you for the adoptable kind of orphan and you want to let him down easy
save when im dating someone which im not so thats not relevant
no subject
those are all still acceptable reasons to dish out hugs
weve just added a new one to the list
its like all the other ones are on a nice laminated card and this one is scribbled on in crayon
reasons for hugs number 3
seeking comfort while hurtling through space on a rock with extremely limited sources of companionship
im not really surprised you didnt get to cuddlebase though i mean
it was you jade and john right
so there was like
awkward dating tension or whatever
and john is the most wonderful form of human garbage so i dont think he knows how to get between that
but if ive learnt anything
its that it takes a fine balance of a lot of shit to make cuddles happen without the usual hem hawing
im not dating anyone tho
no subject
yeah
well
guess you passed that milestone before me
so congrats on beating me to the punch
wherein the punch is a warm two armed embrace in the name of space friendship
the only thing john was hugging was his own frustrated teenage malaise and sometimes his nanna
maybe if you were there you two would have been hug bumping bros by the end of the trip
but what do i know
no subject
Of course, in his eyes, Davesprite spent years chilling with his two favourite people, ticking off some Normal Teen Progression boxes by having a relationship with Jade.
Comparing yourself to other people and their accomplishments is a bad habit as it is, it feels all the more intense when the person you're comparing yourself to is actually you. It's like trying to beat your top score in Diddy Kong Racing.]
dont sell yourself short
you successfully wooed and romanced a girl using nothing but your wit boyish charm and your soft feathered underbelly
turns out that the ticket out of the friendzone is a warm orange tinge and a tail
so kudos
[Is he a little incredibly fucking jealous? Yes. Yes he is.]
yeah sounds like john
look i cant give a definitive answer there having barely spent more than a few moments in his glorious presence
the only thing i can guarantee is that he would be making everyone cringe and assuming that affection will land him a case of the big damn homos
no subject
yeah
you see
being literally the only romantically viable target on a ship full of carapaces consorts blood relatives and your sisters cat does wonders to boost your dateability stat
my echeladder was maxed the fuck out
top rung
big accomplishment right
for a while i thought nakkadile #319 was going to sweep her off her feet
you never know smug til you see a smirking reptile boast how much hes got in common with a girl on the grounds that hes got legs
its not a thing anymore anyway
so its not important
im just saying john would have been more jazzed than the 20s for a chance to spend three years with you
