    Summary

    She blinks away the spotting in her vision, looking around at the horrid predicament she’s found herself in. Surrounding her are tangles of roots, composed from the same matter as Greyroot. But these have no life pulsing through them. The bark is dry, brittle entirely. She uses this weakness to her advantage, throwing her weight around as much as she is able until the wood breaks, sending her careening to the ground. Her movement seems to startle whatever was shoved into her as its movements quicken and her pain increases. She spends many moments curled around herself on the ground, choking back expletives and sobs. The creature pushes out against her shell, she can feel its tendrils wrapped around her organs, squeezing them, destroying them. She gags. Nothing comes out.

    Or: Hornet has gotten herself cursed and must find a way to survive it, cure it, and live in the aftermath.

    Summary

    Hornet pushed open the door, expecting to hear only the gentle hum of Creige the bartender and the vague drip of water from the leaking roof onto the paneled floors. Familiarity, comfort.

    She was instead greeted by a lively scene, livelier than she had ever seen in Pharloom before.

    AKA Hornet sees a familiar face at the Halfway Home.

    Summary

    There was the sound of the door shutting. A few footsteps.

    “She’s not here?” the voice asked.

    Zoey dropped her voice lower, almost conspiratorial. “No. She went out—probably won’t be back for, like… fifteen, twenty minutes.”

    A beat of silence. Then a quiet chuckle. “Good. Then I can steal you for a while.”

    There was a nervous little hiccup of laughter from Zoey. “Wait—don’t get too close, I’m still live—”

    “I’ll stay out of frame,” the voice promised, tone coaxing.

    The sound of a hand brushing fabric, then a soft shuffle—the mic catching the rustle as Zoey was pulled slightly sideways. A faint smack of lips meeting. Quick. Too quick to be mistaken.

    Chat slowed to a crawl.

    [ewhfjdjw;]: ???????

    [rumi4lifer]: wait…

    [sealoverfour45]: SHE DIDNT MUTE THE MIC OMG

    [wispawaymo]: that… that’s not Rumi’s voice???

    [qeusopullsafree]: YO WTFFFF

    [hollowjars]: no way no way no way

    or

    Zoey forgets to mute and her fans think she's cheating on Rumi but in reality she has another girlfriend (Mira) that they don't know about because she private.
