𝖫𝖮𝖢𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 : dolly's diner, 12:30pm 𝖲𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖴𝖲 : closed for ricardo garcia @inadeqcies
angela wasn't too happy to learn that the local newspaper had fallen under new management, not when she'd just begun to build a good rapport with the old owner. nevertheless, she persists on her journey for answers ( well, that, and content for her podcast. ) she manages to catch ricardo in the corner of a packed dolly's and, without missing a beat, slides into the booth across him. “ you're the new guy running the register, right? ” she asks, hands clasped over the table like she's in the middle of a serious business proposal. “ i have, uh — i have a favor to ask. ”

𝖫𝖮𝖢𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 : outside red creek hospital 𝖲𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖴𝖲 : closed for bronte dubois @lifekisses
sometimes the news can be full of shit. you can't trust what you read these days. words can be misconstrued and taken out of context, cut up and spliced together to make a guaranteed splash on the front page. you can never really tell if something was made in the name of journalism or public reaction, but this — this was undeniable. angela had practically stared a hole into the paper, gaze focused only on daniela, who bore an expression she'd never seen on her sister's face before. she can admit that she never truly knew her, but seeing the anger in the older woman's features made angela feel like she was looking at a stranger. the only question on her mind now is why?
she's been standing outside the hospital for what feels like hours, the newspaper like a leaden weight in her hand as she waits for bronte to come out and — fuck — is she even working today? she hasn't been able to think straight since the paper dropped on her doorstep. her mother won't stop crying and her father has been pacing the living room all day. her mind has been moving faster than her body and they had taken her outside before she could even realize. she doesn't even know what to say. just as she's about to throw in the towel, angela catches a glimpse of bronte in the corner of her eye, and once again her legs are taking her towards her before her brain gets the chance to catch up. “ i'm not going to make any assumptions if you just tell me the truth. ” her words come out more exasperated than expected; angela has to take in a deep breath to feel more in control of herself. “ i don't want to point fingers or start any trouble, okay? i just want to know what the fuck is going on. ”

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. deer lake, around 7:30pm. 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. griffin talbot. @chappcdlips
〔 🦇 〕 … 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, having gone to the sisters of the moon popup for a reading, only to come away with much more despite her disdain for the fundraiser in general. why should she give the sheriff's department her money? she doubts that they'll make good use of it, her trust in them has been dwindling with every second that passes without any updates on daniela. “ here, ” she mutters, handing griffin a hematite bracelet and a black tourmaline stone. “ it's for protection. i wanted to get you a few more things, but i thought it'd be overkill. ” she'd never admit it, but there's a small part of her that's a little paranoid. her sister is missing, her former babysitter is dead, and now her best friend's cousin is, too. despite the pattern, the killer is still unpredictable in ways, and she didn't want to risk anything before it's too late.

𝖫𝖮𝖢𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 : alaina price's backyard, 5pm 𝖲𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖴𝖲 : closed for kieran talbot @gorebound
alaina price's death had marked a violent shift in the town's collective disposition. everyone was on edge, trust became a luxury that some wouldn't even grant their own kin, and the streets at night were virtually desolate for fear of becoming the boogeyman's next victim. angela, of course, saw this as an investigative opportunity. she had no theories ( yet, ) but she had a strong feeling that this unfortunate crime could be tied to daniela's disappearance. she peers through the sliding door into alaina's home, the setting sun casting a golden hue against its pristine interior. the forensic cleaners certainly made sure that no spot was left begrimed; if she didn't know any better, she wouldn't believed that such tragedy ocurred inside of it. she wonders if — in twenty five years time — this, too, would be buried in history. “ how much trouble d'ya think we'd get in for breaking into an active crime scene? ”

“ no, sorry. ” a beat, and then, “ do . . . you need help looking for it? i've been told i'm good at finding stuff, ” good at snooping, is what she's really been told, but that's neither here nor there. teeth gnaw at the inside of her cheek, a feeling of guilt creeping up when her own question is thrown back at her despite not having any real reason to ( lately, she's been feeling guilty about a lot of things she shouldn't be, it's almost become a habit. ) “ this is the shortest route to the bar, ” she answers quietly, looking down at the ground like a child that's been caught red-handed doing something they shouldn't.
she stares down at the dropped phone , bending to pick it up but getting there only after the other had already picked it up . she snuck a glance at the screen . no crack or anything , thank god , because she could not imagine if it did break and she was suddenly tasked with paying to repair it . she could barely afford ubereats … if red creek had ubereats . all it has is murders and weirdos roaming the streets which included kirby at the moment , apparently , as she searched for candy she could just buy the next day . “ sorry about that , i didn't think anybody was still around . have you seen a little pumpkin bucket filled with candy ? i stashed it some place but i cannot , for the life of me , remember where . ” she placed a hand on her hips before quirking her eyebrow . “ what are you doing out here ? ”

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘. early rise bakery & cafe, 10am 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛. piper talbot @repentulant
〔 🦇 〕 ﹕ 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 ��� 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗱, containing files upon files about the 1999 cases that angela has collected over the years; some taken from the library's archives, and the rest, well, she'd rather not disclose. “ it isn't much, but it's everything i have. ” she sips on her matcha latte and takes the seat across piper. though you could probably count their similarities on one hand, their differences are truly stark when sitting opposite one another. where angela is unkempt, hair tamed only with a loose ponytail and pulling at the thread on her secondhand sweater that's threating to rip at the seams, piper hasn't a single hair out of place, pristine and clean cut as she's expected to be. angela will never understand why piper aligns herself with people like her when she so easily stands above them. “ why the sudden interest, anyway? ” she asks, sorting through the different newspaper clippings and photos — heather visser, ezra hastings, choi dasom, casimir parrish, tristan harlow; she could make the argument that she knows them all better than her own sister despite never having met them.

𝖫𝖮𝖢𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭 : finch's bedroom in that fuckass apartment, 6pm 𝖲𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖴𝖲 : closed for finch kiskova @t3nets
the last few days have been harsh on angela. disappearances, murders, arguments, and accusations — it was all getting to be a little too much; indifference is no longer an option when she's being forced to care. still, it can get a little overwhelming, and sometimes angela wants a reason to forget anything like this ever happened. her solution to escapism comes in the form of one finch kiskova, who sits across from her on his bed while she shuffles a deck of tarot cards in her hands. “ c'mon, i need the practice. it's been a while since i've done one of these, ” angela persuades, presenting him the shuffled deck. “ what do you wanna know? could be anything — life in general, you career . . . even love? ” she asks, an eyebrow raised in anticipation.

angela's brows furrow, if only for a moment. of all the things she's been called weird for, this was definitely new. she plucks out a band-aid and an antiseptic pad, and stretches her hand out to offer it anyway. “ yeah, but at the very least you'll avoid getting an infection from an open wound. i know it's halloween, but the septic shock look wouldn't be very cute on november 1st. ”
avery sits herself down on the curb and wraps herself in a sweater she snatched from someone on her way out the door. she watches angela curiously. “ you just carry a first aid kit in your bag? kinda weird man. " yet here she was , needing first aid. “ i’m not sure they make a bandaid that can fix this. i'll give you aura points for offering though. "

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. red creek public library. 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. matilda valdivia. @clandestone
〔 🦇 〕 … 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴. another murder means another spark of curiosity, hunger that can only be satiated through poking and prodding around. her last venture into illicit territory had rendered no leads and despite her desire explore town hall the same way she had alaina's home, its public status made things far too risky. so angela had to choose a different route. “ hi, me again, ” angela greets, a little too loudly for the library ( though, to be fair, there was hardly anyone in there given the current events. ) “ i need whatever you guys have on everyone who works at town hall — kirby, mayor talbot, everyone on the council — yes, all of them. ” was it too much of an ask? probably. but podcast views were getting low, and another episode was due.

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. red creek cemetery, a few days after kirby's death. 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. kazimir cannon. @capitclkarma
〔 🦇 〕 … 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱, especially given the circumstances surrounding it. the cemetery is solemn, as it always is, but there's a stronger sense of grief in the air following the death of yet another local. angela feels bad, not necessarily for the people who lost a loved one ( though of course she felt that too, ) but because relief coursed through her when she found out the dead body wasn't daniela. it's a feeling she keeps to herself, her selfishness almost entirely too much to bear, even more when the guilt creeps in at feeling it at all — because who was she to mourn when she spent her entire life wanting nothing to do with her sister? she's pulled out of her musing when she hears the crunch of footsteps on snowy grass, and a pang of fear hits her as she whips her head around, only to sigh with relief at the sight of kaz. “ oh, good. it's just you. ”

“ 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁, 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘀? ” angela jests, having come from the other counter to retrieve her new prescription bottle. the customer who'd just walked in shoots her a bewildered stare before disappearing into the aisles, eliciting a snort out of the young woman. she takes the book out of griffin's hands and flips throught the pages, brows furrowed as she reads aloud a few passages. “ sometimes, with a vast aching heartbreak, the great, badly contained intentions of creation, the poignant searching longings of adolescence overwhelmed her — ugh, you pretentious little bitch. all you talbots are the same, ” she teases, slamming the book face down on the counter. “ there's a silent night, deadly night marathon at polaris today, you wanna come and binge 'em all with me after your shift? ”
for? OPEN where? the pharmacy
he doesn't look up as the door swings open with another customer, keeping his gaze trained on the open book in front of him – it's shirley jackson's hangsaman. he does, though, call out (less of a call and more of something about a decibel louder than a mumble), "we're, uh... there's a two-for-one deal on gauze and band-aids right now." and the only reason he says anything at all is because it's allegedly his job to upsell. today's bogo deal seems a little too on the nose, though, considering the town's latest events, but griffin didn't come up with the sale. he just rings it up. he makes a quick, barely legible note in the margin with his fading black pen and flips the page, hoping whoever just came in doesn't need to know where anything is. or worse, want to exchange small talk with him.

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. dolly's diner, afternoon. 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. max atkinson. @tlkshowhost
〔 🦇 〕 ... 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗴𝗼𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 — words that sit on the tip of her tongue but refuse to spill out. the news had shaken the whole town, whispers heard from every corner infiltrating the bouts of silence that came with the shellshock of another violent murder. ( poor girl didn't deserve this. in town hall? where was the mayor? i heard they killed her with a typewriter. ) eventually, talks of kirby morphed into conversations about alaina, and then it turned into more conspiracies about daniela. angela wonders if it'll be a matter of time until the police discover her body as well — if she'd been dead the whole time or if all this waiting made them too late. she's not sure which is worse. “ have you been here all day? you haven't answered any of my calls, ” she settles on saying when she finally spots max in the corner both, sliding into the seat across from her. she tries not to let worry take over her inflection, but it's clear from the look on her face that feeling riddles her.

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. clementine's trailer, afternoon. 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. clementine rhodes. @outc4sts
〔 🦇 〕 ... 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮, it's that she's always on the hunt for answers. the world is so vast, with so many things undiscovered and untouched by the human mind. ange,a has spent restless nights wondering why and how things happen and if they mean anything. the last few months have only ever been questions, left unanswered despite angela's constant pursuit of them. with all other options exhausted, there's really only one way to figure out if her hunches are correct — by getting a tarot reading. she leans back on the floor against the couch, body curled and knees pulled to her chest. her dirty matcha sits on the coffee table, watered down and still half-full from when she bought it at early rise that morning. beside it, a celtic cross spread lays before her. a glint of concern taints her gaze. though her own skills are that of a neophyte's at best, she's learned enough to know when someting isn't too good — that, and she can clearly tell by the look on clementine's face. she sits up, letting her uneven bangs fall over her face, the corner of her lips tugging downwards as she takes in the cards. “ are you sure? ” she asks, as she often does when things don't go her way. “ did you shuffle it right? ”

the crisp autumn weather is not the only reason for the chill in the air. the last few days have been a whirlwind, almost fever dream-like, and now there's another gravestone to keep angela company on her shifts at the cemetery. alaina price's house has been turned into some kind of makeshift memorial, with pictures and flowers and all sorts of memorabilia left on her porch by loved ones grieving her life. angela herself had left a few amethysts in the hopes that alaina's transition into the afterlife is more peaceful than how she left. “ i wouldn't judge you if you were. ” after all, everything that's happened in the last few weeks would be enought to drive anyone mad. “ bit of a fucked up homecoming present, huh? ”
📍 the corner of norwood street, nov 4. 🗝️ open to three replies.
♤ something heavy weighs on piper's shoulders as she stares down norwood street. in red creek, secrets don't remain secret for very long. details of alaina's death have been spun into a stretched version of the truth. pulling from the very darkest corners of her mind, she can almost picture what the scene they've painted over the last few days. in her hands, she holds a pitiful arrangement of wildflowers from deer lake — all clinging to their final stage of life, plucked just before the season could take them. they're held together by a well - worn scrunchie that once belonged to alaina herself. it serves as her final ode to the babysitter who had cared for her numerous times in her youth— to a friend of piper's, who was there whenever the talbots needed to play socialite without children present. ❝ swear i'm not crazy. ❞ she's been staring so long now, people may think she's seen a ghost. ❝ —i just can't believe that really happened. ❞
