It’s probably a good thing Marty doesn’t sleep much anymore; he’s only dozing when his homemade police scanner crackles.
“We, uh, we got reports of a 10-103 on Kennedy Drive… 1646 Kennedy Drive. Possible 10-64.”
He feels for the aluminum baseball bat by their bed and closes his fingers around it as he stumbles upright, his foot tangled in the blankets. Beside him, Jennifer stirs.
“Marty?” she asks. He looks over his shoulder, catching her, all half-lidded eyes and messy bedhead, lit up by the moon. God, she’s beautiful. He can spare a moment to kiss her.
“Somethin’s goin’ down at Doc’s,” he tells her once he pulls away. Immediately alert, she sits up.
“Do you think it’s—”
“I don’t know,” Marty sighs, running a hand through his hair. “But I’m gonna find out.”
“Copy that. 10-44,” the scanner continues.
“10-4. 10-76.”
“Go,” Jennifer urges, “They're on their way. But Marty, be careful.”
“Yeah, you got it.” Marty pats the sides of his pajama pants. “Keys.”
“On the nightstand,” Jennifer reminds him. Marty swipes them, stuffing them in his pocket before sprinting out the door.
The truck roars to life and he floors it down the abandoned streets of Hill Valley. Though there may not be an actual groove worn in the asphalt— something he’s always kind of surprised by— there’s a map of this road etched somewhere inside him, he thinks. Asleep, awake, it doesn’t matter. He can always find his way back home.
The young man grabs the walkie talkie on the passenger seat.
“Jennifer, any updates?”
“Nothing yet, Marty,” his wife replies. “Can you see anything?”
“I’m pulling in now.” He puts the truck in park and abruptly cuts the engine, which responds by jerking forward. From the Burger King parking lot lights, he can just make out a figure by the fence surrounding @doctorbrown ‘s garage.
Marty clips the walkie talkie to his waistband and grabs the bat with both hands, holding it high, quietly making his way across to the garage. He has to think of how stupid he must look barefoot and shivering in the cold night air.
He’s about to call out something to interrupt the almost frantic attempts to pry open the padlock on the fence (thankfully, they hadn’t reached the electronic keypad lock he’d installed on the door yet) when he catches a glimpse of the figure in profile.
All of a sudden, he’s a kid again.
“…Doc?”

carrd update. basic information is up for desire & rapunzel, though their verses are still pending, because i’m itching to write write, & so am putting them off until another day ! rapunzel’s verses you can probably guess, & desire’s have some overlap with regal’s, but she’s also fairly flexible anyway, so !
desire’s information does come with a content warning for explicit alcohol & substance abuse, as well as mentions of miscarriages & stillbirths, so please be aware of that before you read.

life update
Hello buddies, you guys deserve an explanation for my absence these past months ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ
Remember my job I had since November? I no longer work there for reasons that exhausted my physical and mental health ( My right shoulder blade flares up often and my depression spiked up. ) and the work environment in general was unfair. ( The manager was bias to some workers than others and for enduring too much labor, I was paid the least. ) I am wholeheartedly content to say that I’m out. I may not be making $$$ anymore, but I’m optimistic for opportunities to come and for myself to be able to heal.
If there is anything that I learned, it’s to not stay at a job that will drain you. It is not worth your health.
Now that I’m out, I’m glad that I am able to return to my hobbies, roleplaying included :) I have big plans for this blog, and in one big breath, I want to thank everyone who stayed with me up to this point. Admittedly, I took incentive behind the scenes to take action for my mental health such as soft-blocking blogs that I couldn’t foresee interactions with and unfollowed blogs that did not reach out to me at all. I am not going to be following for following anymore; I’ll spend my time and energy with those that show incentive and care. I will continue to do this hereon out. If you want me to follow back, simply reach out to me ic or ooc!
Thank you for reading this far if you did. I missed my muse that never really left this whole time, and most of all, I missed the interaction that happened on here ♡

VAMPIRE.
you had been wondering why you felt so tired after moving into this house. when you discovered the bite marks, you had your answer. now that you've used some garlic to establish clearer boundaries, they're actually a pretty interesting roommate. they tell you stories from centuries ago, and you teach them how to use a computer. it's a nice enough balance, although it gets a little annoying cleaning up the occasional bloodstain.
