As Spots seemed to relax more, noticeably his upper half shifted a bit and he seemed to try to bury his face in the pillow he held against his chest. He seemed to curl ever so slightly, but in a very different way from prior. Instead of doing so as though cold, it looked like he was trying to wrap himself around the pillow. Or more aptly around whatever he thought it was in his dream. -🐆

Noel finished prepping plates for the boys since they were home at the time and plating two plates for he and Spots before walking over and siting on the couch.

He placed a hand on Spots and gently shook him, “Doll, dinner’s ready.”

[OOC: Yo this is the person who runs the Geo annon and I have made a just a few adjustments to lore, so I’d like to give an update!!]

[Geo effectively is the same person as he was, however he doesn’t have his classic powers. The magical box on his head is now just a regular box. (Except for the expressions the box make, that is the only thing remotely magical about it) Meaning technically if someone were… to take it off… well who knows… Anyways from the time between the “incident” and now Geo vaguely remembers. Everything after that is blurry as hell, jogging his memory would take months or years, so best not try.. He really is just a husk of what he was, think of a washed up god with no memory or sense of their power. I mean Geo was a minor god before so no one really would care if he came back.]

[The only biggest issue would be what would happen if he got his memories back fully. New!Geo is already insistent on leaving the home so imagine Old!Geo’s reaction? Either way helping him remember would be catastrophic, so uhh let’s avoid that. Also he’s canonically Aroace so yea 💞]

-📦

-ah Geo my beloved, what are we supposed to do with you.-

[askourthur]

As Spots was given the pillow he held onto it tight, pulling it close to his chest. He didnt react to the blanket, but as Noel kissed his forehead he made a sort of chirping sound, like what might be expected of someone attempting to befriend a cat.

The longer the blanket was overtop him he gradually uncurled himself as though it may have been a product of being cold, but also in a hard to explain way he appeared to relax. As though something about him had tensed and the blanket and pillow were helping. - 🐆

Noel began cooking in the kitchen while occasionally looking over to Spots as they made soft snores in their sleep.

Noel slowly prepped everything while trying to be as quiet as possible to make sure he didn’t wake Spots up until he absolutely had to.

[askourthur]

Awh, why is no one talking to you? You're like, the best character????

-💫🎉

Character? I feel as if I am in a sitcom. -John

[askourthur]

As Noel eased Spots onto the couch within a matter of seconds by himself he curled himself up, hugging his midsection and bringing his knees halfway up to his chest. He looked like he was trying to cover himself like someone might when cold. But interestingly his right arm was loosely cradling the left. It seemed to be a sort of default position when he didn't have anyone to latch onto, but a very oddly specific and unique one. -🐆

Noel looked down at Spots lovingly before grabbing a blanket and a pillow. He stuffed the pillow in Spots’ arms and threw the blanket on top so that they were properly covered before placing a kiss on their head.

[askourthur]

[Geo put up his hands in pity.]

“It’s fine! I don’t think you’d want to see the ghost of someone you knew. I know I’d hate it…”

[And with that they were off, slipping through the door. It was humiliating to not remember any of these people. It was more humiliating just staying there.]

“Stupid self… Shouldn’t have been so selfish..”

-📦

Noel yelled for Geo as they disappeared through the door leaving him alone in the room with the note in his hand. He looked around before hanging his hand a bit. “This is- I never thought I’d be heartbroken but, I am..”

[askourthur]

Heyyyyy... uh. I was gone for like... a while. Ignore that. But hi! So like, what going on with yallll?

-💫🎉

Welcome back! Hm, well it seems like all of us are pretty busy excluding me. So, hello, I’m not doing anything… -John

[askourthur]

“I think we should be homosexual more often”

- Smelly

I’m not arguing with this statement. Thank you uh, Smelly. -Noel

[askourthur]

Spots took the opportunity to flip himself over and kiss his way down to Noel's neck where he promptly decided to bury his face. With his hands holding tightly onto Noel's shirt and his eyes closed, he could almost forget he had stitches and gauze wrapped around him, but most importantly, it made it so much easier to nod off. Gradually Spots breathing slowed, his his head began to press further against Noel as he no longer held it upright and his hold on his shirt grew loose. - 🐆

Noel sat there while Spots kissed him while he squirmed a bit under the affection until Spots stopped and slowly started to fall asleep. “Oh darlin’ sleep okay….”

He rubbed their back until he felt like they were properly out; he rolled them slightly to the empty aide of the couch so they could properly lay down and he could get up and make dinner.

[askourthur]

The small girl didn't say anything, but it's clear that she at least mildly expected this outcome. Her steps were light, almost inaudible, but the thick fabric of her clothes rustled against each other. ".. You're... certain you do not know where the lake is?.. sasha said it would be..." she trailed off, mumbling.

-D&S

Oscar followed behind her as she started to wonder off, keeping his distance. “I’m still unsure of who Sasha is and why you’re looking for this lake…”

[askourthur]

ah, well… easy enough anyway. You’ll get the hang of it. You seem like the type of guy who understands. Let’s get going. If we catch a cab right now we can get to the next gravesite before sundown.

Arthur, if you don’t mind me asking, how much of your sight do you have left? Have you always been blind or is your sight something you’re losing?

-nines

“I agree let’s grab a cab and head out.” Arthur followed Nines into a stopped cab and started talking again, “well, I wasn’t always blind. It’s a long story but my vision was taken from me by a piece of a fragmented god- who now happens to be my partner.” Arthur paused, “I know that’s sounds weird but I have gained some of it back but it’s only partially.”

[askourthur]

[Again they flinched, but not to much. A small twitch perhaps, nothing to be bad.]

“I think I should go. Really, doesn’t feel right being here and this already a very sensitive topic..”

[Geo sighed, handing the note towards Noel gently. He stepped backwards, trying to give him enough space.]

“I’m so sorry…”

-📦

Noel took the note and watched Geo step back, “where are you going?” Noel immediately became concerned, “geo-“

[askourthur]

"Thank you.", they smiled. "And no, I don’t particularly enjoy hurting people, and especially not someone I admire, nor someone I count as my friend."

- V

Arthurs gaze softened, “friend, huh?” He looked down at his feet almost shyly. “Can’t say I have too many of those so thank you for that.”

[askourthur]

"Oh-- t-that’s, thank you ...", they said, getting a little red. "I very much hope that I'm a bit more of a ... positive experience than ... them."

- V

“Hm, a very positive one I’d say.” Arthur smiled, “you haven’t attempted to kill me or mutilate me in some way but even regardless you’re so kind and loving.”

[askourthur]

[Geo didn’t know what to do. I mean how could he even possibly fathom this very moment? He is the Geo they know, the one who disappeared only to come back. They are inherently an echo of the friend they all once knew.]

“…Noel… I didn’t know.. I didn’t..”

[He murmured quietly, the note in his hand crushed in between his fingers.]

[What the fuck is Geo going to do?]

-📦

“It’s- it’s okay Geo….” Noel felt helpless, how could he solve this one, how could he fix this?” He walked up to Geo and gently placed a hand on their shoulder.

[askourthur]

Spots nodded, but the moment Noel suggested getting up he whined and squeezed him lightly. "Just a couple more minutes of this?" He asked.

On one hand he was no doubt hungry. But on the other he was comfortable like this and didn't want to let go so soon. The only thing really missing right now was the others being here as well.-🐆

Noel let out a sigh and nodded before placing himself against Spots’ back, gently placing a kiss there. “Anything you want doll, anything for you.”

[askourthur]

Nines tried to catch their breath, still looking out for Thomas who was fast on their heels. Nines waited on top of Thomas’s grave, pulling out another frosted glass knife like the one they gave Arthur.

Thomas’s spirit form was loosing corporeality, falling apart like threats were being pulled from frayed edges. He looked less like a man and more like a monster as he lunged for Nines again.

Nines rolled out of the way quickly and threw their knife at Thomas. It acted like Thomas was a real man and pinned his coat to the grave.

okay, buddy. YOU ARE RELEASED.

Thomas disappeared into the earth with a shriek, and Nines sighed, collecting the knife.

sorry about that, Arthur. But it’s easy, right?

-nines

“Easy?!” You find this easy?” Arthur let out a sigh, “I suppose I’ve grown too comfortable in domesticated life…”
