“Well, that’s what I meant. I’m just wondering why it was so necessary for you to be so secretive, especially if you knew Lore was here, how ever that may be.”

# data[].attributes.body
"That isn't what I meant but whatever.. It doesn't matter now anyway. I'm here, get over it, now we can all hold hands and frolic in our shared childhood trauma or some shit. Whatever it is you do here."

# data[].attributes.body
“Clearly, you do, if you’ve come all this way for Lawrence.“

# data[].attributes.body
He scoffed out a small almost laugh.

"I don't really have good connections."

# data[].attributes.body
“Even if you couldn’t contact him, I don’t see why you couldn’t have made yourself at least a little less suspicious, by, I don’t know, coming by normal means?” 😐 “You’re not stealing the Declaration of Independence, you don’t need to be so weird about it. If you have connections, use them.”

# data[].attributes.body
"Aren't you supposed to be smart?? Maybe if you took two seconds to think about it you'd realize that maybe I couldn't contact him or not sneak in here."

# data[].attributes.body
“Then why do you feel the need to sneak into here? How did you get here anyway? If you’re such good friends, why didn’t you just contact him?”

# data[].attributes.body
"He's my friend?"

# data[].attributes.body
He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“The fuck do you want with Lawrence?” He scowled, stepping closer to him.

# data[].attributes.body
"He needed to see Nasya and Lawrence and there's probably other reasons, but that's all we'd gotten out of him till you two came in."

# data[].attributes.body
"To get you a personality trait that isn't just 'angrily-autistic'."

(#canon)

# data[].attributes.body
“The fuck were you ‘sneaking in’ for?” He almost instantly began pressing Eddie, his expression and tone significantly more aggressive than before.

# data[].attributes.body
"Wren caught him sneaking in. We got a few... um.. not great things out of him. I dunno if I'm allowed to tell you though.."

# data[].attributes.body
He simply husked a neutral hum in response to Kier, examining Eddie closely as if a subject of his own.

“Why is he here?”

# data[].attributes.body
"...the feelings mutual."

also locked in

# data[].attributes.body
"Thanks for coming by the way. I dunno how much longer I could stand looking at this guy."

# data[].attributes.body
"Oh- hi ||3"

# data[].attributes.body
“Yeah. I’m still here.” locked in

# data[].attributes.body
".....What is happening??"

He fix his blindfold.

"There's other people in here right???"

# data[].attributes.body
glaring back at u

# data[].attributes.body
He crossed his arms, his cold gaze never faltering, remaining locked on Eddie.

lock in lock in

# data[].attributes.body
alone againnnn 🎶 aloneeeee

# data[].attributes.body
Their gaze softened a bit at that and they studied Sketch then Eddie, before returning their gaze to Sketch again. They nodded a bit and motioned for him to follow themselves and Three into a little side room so they can talk privately.

# data[].attributes.body
"...Eddie's a friend from the Tephra institute.."

# data[].attributes.body
Now he’s just staring Eddie down like ‘right so i actually wasnt talking to you bitch’

# data[].attributes.body
He hugged onto his potted stick brushing off some of the dirt on the rim, looking up at Mango and ONLY Mango. For reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
They crossed their arms narrowing their eyes. They nodded toward Eddie.

"You first."

# data[].attributes.body
He hummed in response and helped him sit down again and went and got him his flower pot, which was set aside with his normal dried up dead stick in the dirt. He looked over at Ester and Three with another glare.

"Please explain."

# data[].attributes.body
He leaned against him a bit shooting a hard glare at Ester. He sighed and shook his head.

"Just collateral.. the normal stuff."

# data[].attributes.body
He hesitated for a moment before going over to him and helping him up.

"What happened to you??"

# data[].attributes.body
"Yes he knows me. Lore, help me out here."

# data[].attributes.body
He looked between Eddie and Mango.

"I..."

# data[].attributes.body
He narrowed his eyes at him, looking back to Sketch. “You know him?”

# data[].attributes.body
He blinked a bit, shaking off his fear. He looked up at Sketch and tried to jump up from his chair. He stumbled a bit and fell over, muttering a 'ow'. He staggered to sit up.

"Lawrence..??"

# data[].attributes.body
"US??? What do you think YOU'RE doing?!?!?!"

# data[].attributes.body
They looked over surprised as well.

"What are you two doing in here???"

# data[].attributes.body
He jumped and looked over for a second before immediately covering his eyes.

"Dammit-"

# data[].attributes.body
He didn’t have quite as much of a reaction, simply looking blank faced from one to another when he stopped near Sketch, his gaze landing on Eddie as well mainly in curiosity.

# data[].attributes.body
He was about to say something before stopping immediately. He blinked a bit and took a slight step back. He looked from Ester and Three to Kier and Eddie. He froze up as he saw Eddie, covering his mouth to stop an initial yelp of surprise.

bro really went --> 🫢

# data[].attributes.body
The minute they entered they saw Ester and Three talking to one another in seemingly rapid hushed panic.

Kier was standing right in front of Eddie who was tied to a chair and quite clearly bleeding everywhere from a long shallow cut across his back. Kier's blind fold was off, pulled back to tie up is hair and keep it out of his eyes. Kier was making direct eye contact with Eddie. Eddie seemed in a paralyzed state of extreme fear.

# data[].attributes.body
"I want to go in too honestly."

# data[].attributes.body
“Oh— there they go…” .__.”

# data[].attributes.body
“S- Lore—“ He huffed a slight breath before following suit and teleporting (glitching?) after him.

# data[].attributes.body
"Yeah whatever- I'm going in there." >:(

He do his silly gloopified teli port

# data[].attributes.body
"I just want to get back to work." 😔

# data[].attributes.body
“Well my last two concerns still stand!”

# data[].attributes.body
"I doubt they are the ones who beat him up." ,':/

# data[].attributes.body
“Why would they beat his ass, bring him back here, and then freak the fuck out?”😒

# data[].attributes.body
"For sure physically, and I don't know about mentally. No one's talked to him."

# data[].attributes.body
“…Like, mentally hurt or physically? …Or both??”

# data[].attributes.body
"He didn't look like a threat.. If anything he seemed really hurt."

# data[].attributes.body
“Is this ‘new guy’ a threat or something? Why else would they be so fuckin’ weird about it…?”

# data[].attributes.body
"No idea... 😒 but I need them to get the fuck out of my blacksmith so I can get back to work."

# data[].attributes.body
"Why are we locking up a new guy???"

# data[].attributes.body
“Yeah, we’re not all too sure what’s going on either…” 😓

# data[].attributes.body
“…’New guy’?”

# data[].attributes.body
"...Not entirely sure.. but something's definitely wrong. Ester and Three started panicking the other night about something.. and they took over my blacksmith to house the new guy,,"

# data[].attributes.body
He dragged Mango there because he'd been worried about Kier after getting a call from him that morning. So off he goes dragging Manny on over to Niko and Phrix.

"You two seen K- ...?? what's going on?"

# data[].attributes.body
He grumbled to himself, chewing on his thumb a bit as he stood outside his blacksmith shop thingy. He was frustrated. GRRR

# data[].attributes.body
Totally normal day at walmart camp half blood- NEVERMIND- Ester and a couple others who ar ein charge an wtv so Wren and Three but also Nas(although they're still away in their hidey hole), were all up early without explanation, running around and keeping order. They were.. hiding something.

Phrixus' little blacksmith was shut down completely and Ester and Three were shut inside the building. No one was allowed. Wren and a few others kept guard in front of the door.
