“Of course, ya got it.” He grins, hatch on his back opening with moth wings unfolding from within “see ya soon, I s’pose.” He takes off, loud buzzing filling the air and sweeping away with it the scent of blood.

Alex is sitting on a bench, staring blankly at those passing by.

Despite the two showers he has taken and the industrial amount of chewing gum she has chewed, she still smells faintly of smoke and cigarettes, as if the smell itself has stuck to his skin. And then, there's the itching of hunger in the back of his mind, like a caged animal.

She feels like a caged animal, too.

“Thanks, now I’m gonna go get som’m ta eat.” He says, standing and stretching. He flashes Alex a smile and winks. “Ya know what ta’ do if ya need me. Yer welcome, by th’ way.”

“Ya betcha do. Told ya you was hungry.” He remembers his little cigarette and takes another drag, then bustles with a pocket on the inside of his jacket, pulling out a business card for an exterminator. “If ya need me, my direct line is on th’ back.” He grins. “I’ll need a way t’ talk t’ you, too.”

Matthew tskes a deep, steadying breath. “Well, I know that now… yer welcome ya bastard.” He chuckles, giving Alex a playful smack on the arm, luckily missing any spiders.

A choked whisper slides through his lips “I—— don’t” his terror flows freely like a man made lake breaking through a weakened dam. Matthew doesn’t know how long it lasts before he’s able to rebuild his walls and shuts out his fear.

A shiver runs down Matthew’s spine, he’s gently shaking as the spiders cloud Alex’s form. His shoulders tense

AhshitwhydidIofferthisgoddamnitfuck

His jaw clenches as the shaking intensifies, any insects that were inhabiting his skin before this rush out before the inevitable final crack… all he needs to come crumbling down is one little push…

Matthew suppresses a chuckle, hand flying over his mouth and dropping after a few seconds.

“‘Might jus’ be good at hidin’ my fear, ‘Ave ya’ considered that?” He says, letting a bit of said fear creep through his composure, and then closing off again. “Anyway, I doubt I could terrify you, ya’ seem far more fearless then lil’ ol’ me.” He shrugs, giving Alex a once-over glance and shuddering slightly, more fear seeps through the cracks in his composure, Alex can tell that he’s about to break.

“If ya don’t, well, ya could… die? Just kinda wither away.” He looks at you, eyes full of sympathy as he takes another drag off his cigarette.

“S’ somethin’ we’ve all got ta come ta terms with, it was hard fer me too. Sorry kid.” His voice breaks, and before Julian notices it, he takes off, leaving nothing but a business card behind with a phone number on it and four words scribbled on the back

“So, in this world there’re these… bein’s outside our full understandin’, an’ they either are or feed offa, our fears. Most people say there’re fourteen of em’” he says, gesturing with his hands to articulate his point and taking a drag of his cigarette.

“That’s what ‘Chou think, ever consider th’ fact that other avatars can feel feat too?”

He pulls a cigarette out of his pocket and strikes a lighter.

“Wait, you… don’t know about the entities? Odd.” His whole demeanor shifts, it seems he feels… more comfortable, and his speech shifts completely. “D’ya want ta know?”
