☆ even the gods bleed [ pt 3 ]

{☆} characters neuvillette, wriothesley, furina {☆} notes cult au, imposter au, multi-chapter, gender neutral reader {☆} warnings none {☆} word count 1.9k {☆} previous [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

Wriothesley was not a man of superstition. He did not kneel at the altars until his knees bled, he did not pray until his voice gave out– he did not, contrary to popular belief, suffer divine punishment for his apparent lack of respect.

After all, what Divine would look so deep beneath the waves just for a glimpse of the sinners that inhabit it?

Not them, evidently.

He hadn't slept in the past four days, though. There was a heavy air of something where ever he walked– it followed him like a thick fog, lingering and choking him until it dragged him to his knees like a chain. His thoughts inevitably linger on the striking, extravagant letter so conveniently adorning his desk at the fortress– the broken wax seal, the letter tucked into his pocket.

He'd recognize the seal of the Iudex any day. Wasn't often he spoke to him– but the shaky, distorted words hastily etched into the paper made him pause. Neuvillette always had a steady hand– elegant, flowing script that him of flowing water.

It had kept him up for days.

The implications were..haunting. He'd poured over the letter for hours, illuminated only by faint light of his desk lamp. Yet no matter how many times he tries to see what must be hidden beneath the ink, the paper itself even, he finds nothing but the shaky script of a request that sends a bolt of pure frost through his veins.

He noticed, of course, the odd goings on of Fontaine. He'd heard vague whispers of the Divine's hunt for the imposter– he'd heard, too, of the ceaseless rain pelting Fontaine until even he wondered if the nation would finally sink beneath the waves.

It didn't, though. And that only made it all the more odd. Days of constant rain, just for it to stop suddenly..he tugged his coat tighter around him, throwing up the hood of the cloak clasped even tighter over it with a grunt as he leaned around the corner of the alleyway.

He didn't believe in superstition, but this was too hard to ignore as a simple weather anomaly.

Maybe that was why he ignored his gut– he knew that this was probably a trap, at the very least it was suspicious. But damn it, he couldn't ignore the instinct to follow the only lead he had.

His boots clicked against the rain stricken streets as he stalked through the shadows, mindful of the clinking of machine patrols just a few streets away. Yet every step felt heavier then the last as he took a long, good look at the Palais Mermonia. He almost considered bringing out his gauntlets, but he thought better of it– if it came down to it, he needed information. And he would need whoever was waiting for him alive for that– the dead don't speak and all that.

The letter's directions led him in a..rather roundabout entrance to a secluded room, evidently, as he lifted his hand and quietly knocked against the door. Two rapid knocks, pause, another knock, pause, four knocks. It doesn't take long until he hears the latch of the door unlock.

The leather of his gloves creaks as he clenches his fists, adjusting his stance. He's ready for a fight, if he must, but as the door quietly slides open he feel the weight on his shoulders relax slightly– the familiar, sharp features of Neuvillette meets him. He almost reflexively smiles at the way his pupils turn into thin slits, a momentary surprise that he quickly hides well behind a cough and the creak of the door as he pulls it open fully.

"Wriothesley. I see my letter has found you well. Please, come in." Polite as ever, Neuvillette steps aside to let him in, but he can see the exhaustion lining his features– the bags under his eyes aren't as well hidden as he thinks, at least to him. "Bit odd to be inviting me all the way out here in the middle of the night, don't you think?"

His tone is smooth as he steps into the room, brushing down his hood and glancing at Neuvillette over his shoulder, watching as he shuts and locks the door behind him.

"I apologize for the..less then ideal circumstances, but I'm certain you will understand when you see for yourself." He wants to retort, but the Iudex beats him to it, vaguely motioning to the room behind him. An invitation– but he wonders if it's worth taking.

His gut says no, but he's feeling a little risky today, he supposes.

He turns back slowly, barely able to make out the two figures he'd missed on the first glance on the other side of the room– though it's hard to mistake the flourish of the Hydro Archon, even in the dark. It's the other figure that makes the breath hitch in his throat, though.

Or maybe, more accurately, it freezes. So does his blood, his whole body even, locked in stasis for a long, tense moment– he can't see them clearly, but his instincts are going haywire. He can feel his vision almost rattle where it rests against his left shoulder, cold leaking through the layers of clothes and into his skin until he has to fight to suppress a shiver.

He'd always fancied himself the hunter– he was the one who dealt with unsavory folks, in the end. But he felt like a rabbit pinned beneath the crosshairs of a gun this time. He could almost feel the teeth of the bear trap snapping shut around him, crushing bone and flesh beneath cold metal.

For a long moment he thinks he feels fear.

And with a sharp click and a burst of light, it's gone and he takes a raspy, choked breath as he blinks away the blurriness in his vision, taking in the room illuminated by the lamp.

He's not sure what he sees is better, though.

Because his body knows that their Divinity is as real as the blood running through his veins.

So why do they remind him so much of himself? Why does he see the look of the boy who died in a pool of blood not his own in them?

It is a sick, cruel kind of familiar.

Wriothesley didn't believe in superstition– but that was born of the unknown. He knew, now. He could reach out and touch the truth with his own two hands.

The throne of the world was a lie.

The thing sitting on it bled red. And if it bled, it could die.

He clenched his fists tighter– and released, letting his shoulders slump with a huff and a half hearted chuckle. "I wasn't expecting you to be in possession of a wanted criminal when you sent me that letter." He could see the gears whirring in their heads, the subtle dampness in the air reminding him just how delicate a situation it truly was.

He wasn't particularly inclined to getting blasted by a jet of water today.

"Relax, I'm not going to spill to anyone else. Seriously– don't get my jacket wet. It's expensive and a nightmare to dry." His lips quirk into a half smile, but it twists into something almost genuine at the laugh covered up by a cough he hears from the Divine. Bingo.

"It's fine, Neuvillette. Let him go." Their voice is like honey dripping from their lips, and he has to close his jaw with his hand before they can see the way it dropped in his surprise. "Of course, most Divine. My apologies." He relaxes at the sharp click of his heels as he joins them on the bed, his posture far more relaxed then he's ever seen. The Hydro Archon, much to his confusion and amusement, is far too invested in playing with their hair to pay much attention to him now that things have calmed, evidently.

Huh.

They seemed pretty cozy about it, he noted. He guesses they three of them had some time to get acquainted.

"So..who's going to explain what the hell is going on?" He probed, crossing his arms over his chest and watching the three carefully– they all looked tired, but even through the exhaustion neither seemed inclined to stray too far from the Divine. "And what exactly your plan is? You can't keep hiding them here forever. Someone will sniff them out sooner or later."

"We are aware," Neuvillette interjects, lips pursed into a thin line and his thin brows furrowed. "But as I'm sure you've noticed, the hunt for the..forgive me, most Divine, but the hunt for the alleged imposter is still at it's peak."

He grumbles in acknowledgment, hanging up his cloak by the door and sliding out of his heavy coat, resting it over the back of a nearby chair. "Hm. Suppose that's why the patrols are so common now a days."

"I'm afraid so. As you can imagine, we cannot simply ask them to..stop the search. It would draw unwanted attention and suspicion. The Divine would be found immediately if we tried to bring them out of the city at the moment." Neuvillette added, looking proper and elegant, despite the circumstances– even in the face of the Divine and the Archon turning on him and tugging his hair into intricate braids. "So I hope you understand that it was a great risk to send you that letter."

He rubs his chin, huffing in amusement– a solid plan, maybe, but his power didn't extend too far out of the Fortress. He had his connections, sure, but what use were they when he had to get the, uh, "imposter" out of Fontaine? Smuggling them out wouldn't be easy, and then there's the point of where to take them they'd have to contend with.

"Yeah, yeah– I get it. But it's not like I can just smuggle them out or keep them in the fortress. Even if we got them out of the city, we'd have to find somewhere to bunker down, and if someone spots any of us lingering there.." Archons, what a mess he'd gotten himself into. He was really looking forward to the next time he could kick his feet up with a cup of tea.

"I understand. I have already made plans, in fact." Neuvillette hesitates, and he can feel the temperature drops a few degrees. "I..cannot share them in full at the moment, but it is not for a lack of trust." Neuvillette reasoned, hands folded neatly in his lap– not that it hid the way they shook slightly. He wanted to ask, but he thought better of it.

"Eh, I don't hold it against you. The walls have ears, even up here." He deflected, running a hand through his hair. He really hoped Sigewinne wouldn't ask too much when he gets back. "I trust your judgment." He hesitates for a long moment, pulling out a simple, neatly folded letter of his own.

"Memorize the code words, then burn it. I'll be waiting for your next letter." He murmurs, plucking his coat and cloak and tugging them back on one after another, shuffling back over to the latched door. He hesitates again, his hand lingering on the door.

"I just hope your plan is worth the risk, Neuvillette."

He leaves before he can respond, the harsh click of the door ringing in his ears even as he steps back into the shadows of the night.

AHHHH I've been playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth on and off again and I FINALLY digivolved my starting digimon ( Palmon ) all the way up to Rosemon !!! I wanted to sketch them for that reason... it took way longer than expected...!! But for that reason it feels like a big achievement!

This is specifically supposed to be my Rosemon ( His name is Squire ) but I think I could design him to have more of his own cool unique details as an actual Digimon oc !! So this is Squire... for now !!!

#my art #toybox-arts #Digimon #Rosemon #Cyber Sleuth is the first digimon game i picked up to ACTUALLY get a grip on the series #i played dusk as a child but i didnt understand it and gave up #So I didnt actually know.. palmon could become rosemon but as soon as i knew i was soo excited #one of those designs ive seen and gone crazy abt... what a cool design !!!#squire went by errm...#Palmon to Sunflowmon to Lillymon to Rosemon!#I mean . he has to devolve a time or two to get to rosemon but you know you know #i wanted to keep a bit of that silly creature energy from sunflowmon because it was so notable to me #so I tried to at least give this rosemon a little fang and funny mouth!!!#if anyone reads my tag ramble... ty... im very new to digimon but i am passionate at times yes #This was a good shake off sketch for da day.. i gotta get to owed artwork !! ( running off )

What does Hunter think of mc's boobs? these softie bums of flesh.

softie bums of flesh…akajsjjsd

I mean female yautja’s don’t have breasts like humans do, but they know what the femme versions are for. it wouldn’t even cross their mind that they could cause pleasure. they’re just kind of there I guess, they’re not that interesting to them (unless of course they were sensitive, and then they might take a rather keen interest)

#ty for the ask <3 #tag: hunter #I’m sorry for laughing at the typo #I’m a child at heart #sinofmidnight #this is based off of big mama and my own lore

TAGGED BY the dears @denerims, @chuckhansen, @marivenah, @dihardys, @leviiackrman, @adelaidedrubman, @belorage and @roofgeese to take this cutest uquiz for the loves! ty so much! <3

TAGGING: @feystepped, @griffin-wood, @risingsh0t, @queennymeria, @kingsroad, @unholymilf, @bloodofvalyria, @stormveils, @celticwoman, @rocketsummer, @roberthouses, @confidentandgood, @arklay, @aartyom, @anoras, @swordcoasts, @shadowglens, @shellibisshe, @loriane-elmuerto, @jackiesarch, @aceghosts, @florbelles, @belorage and you!

KITSUNE (FOX SPIRIT)

You are neither good nor evil, you play by your own rules. You are capable of living a great many years, and can accumulate plenty of wisdom throughout your lifetime. People might fear you because you may possess or seduce them, and are almost always likely to have the upper hand in a situation. This is fair, since you tend to be a trickster. Nonetheless, you are also honorable and will repay any debts and fulfill any promises you make.

DRAGON

You have a hard exterior, but you’re really a softie inside. You can be very confrontational and might pick fights here and there, but you also know when to yield and find a compromise with your enemy. Fiercely protective, you keep your most treasured belongings, people and memories close to your heart. Nothing can stop you when you’re feeling protective. You’ll come with the full force of fire and skies against anyone who threatens your kingdom.

LADY OF THE LAKE

Your past has not been kind to you and you come from tragic beginnings, but you are pure of heart and devoted to helping those who are as lost as you once were. In some ways, you might feel trapped where you are in life, but you are able to make the most of what is available to you. Ultimately, you are capable of great decisions and can decide who wields power. You choose to be loved rather than feared.

PARI (FAIRY)

Mischievous and cunning, you are a pretty-faced creature capable of deception, but ultimately good at heart. You cast love spells and weed your way into people’s lives, pulling strings. You are a lone wolf and a traveler, moving in and out of people’s lives seamlessly. But although you are ambivalent, your intentions are good. You may fall quickly in love with people but will be quick to leave them as your love may sting.

MERMAID

Your enchanting beauty would be enough to inspire the greatest artists, but you yourself are an artist as well. Unfortunately, it might get to your head a bit as your hold yourself in the highest regard in both looks and talent. You are deeply misunderstood and feel the need to compensate and are therefore constantly performing for people. People might accuse you of manipulation or lying, and at times it’s difficult for you to reflect on what you’ve done wrong.

GNOME

You are a bit of a homebody and can be quite timid, but you’re always on people’s paths. Everyone who meets you likes you. Sticking to one place suits you, and you aren’t very open to major changes. You can be quite crafty and inventive, people come to you when they need help fixing things. You are also a trustworthy guard of people’s homes and secrets.

27. Marz/Tangent

27. things you said on the phone at 4 am

"It's just too much," blurts Tangent suddenly, and Marz startles back awake. "She... she looks at me and sees someone who doesn't exist. I don't -- I can't be the person she thinks I am."

"...I wouldn't know," says Marz, and her voice is syrupy with sleep that makes the lie come out more convincingly. "But regardless, if you aren't happy, why stay? That's not fair to either of you."

"I...."

Stars, she sounds so anguished. How sweet. For all she tries to hide it, Tangent has always cared with her whole beating heart. "Either way, darling, four in the morning isn't the time to make decisions like this, is it? Even for you."

That gets a little huff of laughter; Marzipan can picture the grimacing smile on Tangent's face that no doubt accompanies it. "I suppose."

"Mm, trust me."

"I do."

Marz feels herself smile, leaning a little against her palm. "As you should!" Another laugh, this one sounding a little less reluctant. "You can think about it after you get some rest." And then, because it's four a.m. and Marz really does love Tangent more than maybe anyone else on the planet: "Either way, I'll always be on your side."

There's a very long pause; Marz very politely pretends not to hear Tangent have to clear her throat through the line. "...Thank you, Marz."

"Of course! But don't make this a habit, I do need my beauty sleep."

"I won't." Tangent's voice has warmed; the smile Marz pictures this time is gentler than the last, the one she'd only remembered in adulthood. "I'll speak with you later. And thank you, again."

"You, my dear, are very welcome."

#marz/tang are very like.... more than friends less than lovers kidn of vibe u kno #never quite Together but theres a romacne there nonetheless. but also i think they dont want to Date u kno #anyways sorry for sol/tang agenda i jsut. love them #first run sol i think ehre...... i love wlw love triangle tho its fun #three girls kidn of wrapped up in each others lives forever LOL #thinking abt how in some ways its probably better for both of them if soltang dont date u kno #going back to how dys has a lot of weird fucked up conceptions of romacne i think tang is similar #honestly i think aro tang is a really valid read but also so is just. paralyzed by hedgehogs dilemma tang u kno #if she gets too close to sol she will be Harmed u kno. but hten how else will she get warm #(guy who watched evangelion at eighteen and never recoverd voice)#tho mpd also did this to my brain i wont lie. child broiler........#ok thats enough tag analysis lmfao #i was a teenage exocolonist #i was a teenage exocolonist spoilers ?#in the tags at least lol #how do you writing #asks #ask meme #va1iant viridity #4am phone calls are a v good marz/tang vibe ty for this one WWWW

Wait sit wait I have an idea. A date with Childe under a pavilion? Or like a family reunion that he goes to with his s/o

HI ANON I LOVE YOU!!! I am bowing, giving you one (1) Colorcoin, crying in gratitude, the whole shebang WAAHAHAHA

Okay but real talk, ngl I kinda hate Childe, but I’m gonna take that as a challenge WAHHAHA That is why I’ve inserted Zhongli as a buffer

SO THERE here’s Childe, Zhongli, n you having a date in a pavilion <33

As usual, no pronouns used. The only way to describe you is shorter than Childe cause let’s face it, no matter how tall you are Mihoyo is going to make him TALLER

“C’mon, it’s around here!”

You’re keeping up with Childe as best you can. At times like this you solemnly swear that there’s something in the Snezhnayan waters that make them so tall. Nonetheless, you stomp through the tall grass. You know he’d found a nice, isolated spot you could all go to, but you didn’t actually know where he was leading you.

“How’d you find this place, again?”

“I stumbled into it last time I was around here.”

“You mean, stumbled upon it?”

He laughs, “no, into it. Don’t you trust my wording?”

Go figure. “I’ll decide that once we get there.”

“If, we get there. You look like you’re having a little trouble there?”

“You act as if I’m tiny.”

“If you were tiny I’d have you on my shoulder and at the place by now.”

You roll your eyes. “Okay fine I’m going faster.”

Much to your relief it wasn’t much farther. The tall grass gave way to shorter grass, gave way to dirt and pebbles. Once you lay eyes on it, you understand what Childe meant.

“These are ruins?”

“Uh huh, looks like the ruins of some kind of pavilion.”

It’s no wonder Zhongli insisted on arriving first, it looks ancient! By some miracle the roof is still in one piece, save for some holes. The same can’t be said about the beams holding it up, nor the railings, not even the floor.

Your scrutinising stops when you spot Zhongli returning to the pavilion from the opposite side.

“Hey! We’re here,” you call out to him. Childe joins in as well as you cup your mouth. “HI ZHONGLI!”

He visibly stands up straighter, his pace hastening. Once he gets closer you can even see the smile on his face.

Before you can say anything more though, your eyes zero in on, not only dirt, but a bit of blood on his clothes.

He picks up on your gaze immediately, and he’s quick to close the distance and reassure you. “I only needed to clean up after a few troublemakers, nothing more”

“Oh come onnn, there was a fight and you didn’t even wait for me?” He gestures so wildly that for a second you’re afraid Childe’s going to drop the food. “I could’ve gotten rid of them, easy.”

“There was no need.” Zhongli wipes the dust off of his gloves. “As I said they were only a few, couldn’t have taken me more than five minutes.”

Thankfully Childe knows himself well enough to put the food down. “All I’d need is one.”

“You wouldn’t have the chance to lay a finger on any of them before I’d have them all dealt with.”

“You just said it took you five minutes!”

“Well with you around, I’d have to be swift, lest anything happen to the both of you.”

Childe groans at that, “yeah, yeah, whatever you old hen.”

You smile fondly at their exchange. Too often does Childe get himself riled up for a non-existent battle, which leaves you and Zhongli to pull him back down.

With that out of the way, you find your eyes wandering the ruined pavilion. It must have been beautiful in its full glory. It’s big, maybe even rivaling the one in Liyue. There’s way more space here than needed for a three person meal. Under closer inspection, faded paint and eroded engravings leave you wondering, what was such a grand pavilion doing all the way out here?

However that’s just another quirk of being with the two of them. If you and Zhongli have to pull Childe out of fights, you and Childe have to pull Zhongli back to earth. It’s reasonable to believe that he has a connection to this place, somewhere in his ancient memory. You understand how bitter it must feel to outlast these things that he holds dear, but a part of you fears that he may fall too deep in his ache for the past.

“Over here please.” You’re pulled out of your thoughts when Zhongli beckons you over to him.

He has cleared the center from any dust. What you didn’t realise is that he’d set up a big mat on the ground.

“Aw man, I have to eat with chopsticks on the floor too?!”

You laugh at that, your voice mingling with Zhongli’s low chuckle. “Oh don’t worry Childe, you’ll get the hang of it someday.”

“And you’re always right, aren’t you.”

“Only as often as when you’re wrong. Which happens to be a lot.”

“Hey!” Childe makes the mistake of turning to Zhongli, who merely shrugs with a smile. “Oh the two of you are just-” his complaints turn to mumbles under his breath. You both know he isn’t actually upset by your teasing though.

After you all settle down, you fall into a comfortable silence while you eat.

Zhongli is sitting as proper as always, which really makes Childe’s slouch look worse than usual. He can’t help it though, he’s too focused on trying to pick up any food at all with his chopsticks.

While you’re watching him struggle, you hear something shift, loudly.

It seems Zhongli heard it too, as his gaze snaps up to the roof. You can’t help but shiver when his eyes glow gold.

That’s when it happens, one of the pillars crumbles, leaving the roof to free fall onto the three of you.

You and Childe both leap, trying to shield the other. The only thing you do manage to do though is bump your head with his. Thankfully for the two of you, Zhongli shoots up to materialise a stone pillar to support the roof before it can fall.

“Are you alright?!” Your voices mix together all at the same time. After a stunned pause, you all laugh in relief.

“I knew this place was old, but not that old!”

Zhongli nods. “It may not be the oldest, but it’s definitely been a victim of time.”

After making sure the other two (and yourself) were okay, you look down at your plates.

“Aww, some of the debris got in the food.”

Your lovers look down as well, both frowning.

“Well,” Childe puts down his chopsticks with too much glee, “that was nice while it lasted.”

I am going to talk about Bryce bc I think people only talk about him if he's The Support Guy. It's always Liam is Airy's fav or Amelia is Airy's fav but Bryce was REJOINED and Liam was an OPTION!! If it was solely to make the others feel better wouldn't Airy have picked the guy that was with them longer aka Liam? And WITH Bryce's info being so hard to find combined with the possibility of Airy watching him during the 7 month hiatus (assuming he found the phobia after the fact) (1/4)

(put my response under a readmore bc oh my god this is a long response ??)

i think airy is DEF fascinated by bryce!!!! like on one hand he chooses to eliminate bryce before liam, so i think he does ALSO maybe have an interest in liam, and theres a chance he didnt have liam rejoin bc he was JUST eliminated, it wouldnt be interesting if he immediately brought him back! BUT its also like... he DEF has a fascination w bryce!!!!!! like the effort he wouldve had to go to just to get that img, and to figure out he has thalassophobia is like. i dont think he put nearly so much effort into finding out stuff abt the other characters. i think he likes to learn things about bryce and thinks hes interesting

the idea of airy killing charlie on purpse is a VERY interesting idea i havent considered before??? i will say that its incharacter for him to not put together how much risk hes putting other characters at, or to accidentally ignore them (what with the ending of one 17. he didnt even Acknowledge that none of the contestants were present where he was looking???), and it wouldnt be unrealistic for him to have said that and acted as if Oh im sure one of the adultsll move the baby or something. or he wont be in the way at all. its probably not very likely for him to be in the way anyway. hell be fine (he also seems to slowly adjust how he runs things, like teleporting tray off the pole before she falls after one contestant died and another broke a leg)

BUT also?? i think it being intentional is a super interesting read, bc it ALSO tracks. i dont think he likes killing the contestants, but he Does see it more as an inconvenience than an actual Problem, and if he only brought charlie for the purpose of showing everyone respawning it DOES impact how much he plans things and how its read how he feels abt the events in one. bc it WOULD track for airy to go like. well i dont want them to get hurt, but itll be quick, so it wont actually bother him. he probably wouldnt even remember it anyway. babies dont remember things that well right? hell be fine.

i think each season is more planned than the last BUT ur right!!!! within each season, the planning for contestants gradually gets more and more random!!! and as for it only taking a day for him to get the info on the s3 contestants, id guess it has smth to do with the fact that he already has a basis for them!!! whereas before, he was having to pick ppl he had Zero connection to, NOW hes picking characters he knows thru his previous contestants!! id imagine its easier to pick someone a person you ALREADY know abt knows and then find information on, than to pick a person out of billions of ppl and THEN find info on them

but yeah the decision to bring children into the competition is like. ABSURD to me. im glad he at least DIDNT bring another baby. but id think maybe airy picked kylie instead of brad bc it was easier to find info on her, but that OBVIOUSLY isnt the case for her image??? bradley HAS an image of himself on a computer????????? (and tbh brad def uses object facebook but thats neither here nor there) so maybe kylie was picked bccccc she interacted w bryce more often? maybe it was easier to find records of employees than bryces friend. if bryces only img was NOT a picture he took, maybe bryce isnt online much, so its hard to find out that he has a friend who is bradley, and easier to find out that he has a coworker??? DUNNO... at this pt im just throwing stuff out there

all of this DOES actually make me wonder, though, because all of hte contestants, in some way, MAY have friends and family, but theyre not especially prominent people (julien COULDVE been due to the nature of his work, but also a lot of artists arent very known, so its ambiguous. but either way, he def wasnt picked intentionally anyway so this doesnt rly apply to him)

bryce has like one friend and a coworker. liam has a friend that shows up but theres its unclear if theres anyone else, and if there IS, they dont show up at all. amelia explicitly mentions having friends and family who are probably worried about her, and charlotte has friends shown, and taylor has friends and family, and tomato has a mother, but even all these people still dont seem to have much in terms of being well known? it couldve just happened off screen, but these ppl disappearing (save for taylor and charlie, who were gone for a WAY shorter period) wasnt very. widely payed attention to

like most obviously it doesnt seem that ANYONE liam hitched a ride w recognized him. which wouldnt be super likely!! but it still makes me wonder if airy deliberately picked people who were like. VERY everyday ppl. people who wouldnt have it be ESP noticed if they disappeared. and if thats the case, i imagine it was a. no harm no foul type thing to him. have a fun game, send them home, nobody was even worried. this wouldnt change much but MAN am i thinkin abt it

#ask #child death #ask to tag #TY FOR THE ASK this topic interests me a LOT #which. i think may be conveyed thru the length of my response LOL
