>>36425749

This party is kind of lame anyway.

The one thing we have to keep in mind is we have to stick with rosa

I lean down and kiss her forehead. "It's fine, lemme just grab the others and we'll go check on her."

"O-kay" Mia nods and waves me out the door, wiping the corners of her eyes again and pushing me out the door.

I slam my palms on the table as I arrive, getting the other girls attention. "Mia's mum woke up." They both gasp happily, "Now this ball is shit, so let's go check on her."

They nod and follow, Mia emerges from the bathroom and meets us outside. It's a quick walk to the hospital, and we kind of stick out in our fancy clothes, but we stride up to the bench.

"Janine Wick?" The nurse asks, spotting Mia, who nods. "She's feeling a lot better... but maybe just don't all go in at once? It could... overexcite her." Mia nods and wanders down the hall, determined stride.

The nurse runs off, as some guy is carted in with severe acid burns on the left side of his face, being wheeled down the other hall.

"D-dad?" Claire gasps, staring after to the cart, being wheeled away down the hall. "Was that my dad?" She starts trying to jog in her heels after the cart, "Hey! I THINK I KNOW HIM!"

>What do?

>>36425851
Shrug.

Have Rosa go with Mia and us go with Claire.

>>36425851
>>36425860
this

>>36425851
"Fuck every time someone wakes up from a coma someone else falls into one. Rosa you stay with Mia I'll go see if Claire needs help."

>>36425851
Ask the Nurse if that was Mr Miller.

>>36425866
This, muttering "Bloody hell..." under our breath

>>36425851
>>36425869
Seconding that

>>36425851
>>36425869
Seconded

"Every god damn time someone wakes up, someone new goes into a coma." I whip around to Rosa. "Go with Mia, I'll go see if Claire needs help."

She nods and flounces off, as I run after Claire.

I find her banging on a door of bulletproof glass, screaming at the nurse on the other side, the door clearly only opens with a button from the other side.

Through the door, a red sign flicks on, saying 'Now Operating' over a set of double doors.

"That's my dad you piece of shit, let me IN!" Claire vents, punching the glass again. The glass cracks slightly and her hair rustles around her head. "I! WANT! TO! CHECK! ON HIM!" She pounds on the glass again, as the nurse on the other side picks up a phone, looking scared.

>Write in

>>36425924
Put a hand on her soldier and try to pull her in for a hug. Try not to do anything that would give her the strength to break the door though.

>>36425924
Pull Claire back.
"Claire! Calm down, you're not helping! They're operating on him right now, and you're not even sure if it's your dad!"

>>36425924
>punching through bulletproof glass
>WITHOUT us giving her extra strength
Claire stronk
We should probably stop her though, with a hug or something

>>36425924
>>36425938
This, calm her down, soothe her

>>36425924
Grab Claire
"Bitch can't you see the operating sign? That means they're doing surgery, surgery means if they fuck your dad's going to get fucked up too."
"Besides, what makes you think it's Master Miller?"

>>36425924
Calm down Claire. Don't disturb working doctors, that is really not helping.

>>36425924
If that is your dad, going in there is just going to get you in the doctors way and slow them down. Besides they need a sterile environment to do their work, you go in you could make it worse.

>>36425946
Thing is I think the more time they spend with us the more powerful they get, at the beginning of the story i'm pretty sure she wouldn't be able to do that.

I grab her from behind and try to pull her back into a hug. "Calm down Claire! You aren't helping. Okay? He's being operated on now, and besides, you're not even sure it's him."

Claire growls and bucks in my grip for a few seconds. "I have to-" She loosens my arms and rushes back to the door, "I need to-" She pounds it one more time, "I want... my dad." She finishes it by slumping away from the door, as the glass rattles in it's frame, the nurse staring in fear at us.

"Going in there would only slow them down." I tell her gently, walking over and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

Claire gives me a sidelong look, filled with a black anger. "You think I don't- RRRRRGH!" She shoves me off again and starts strutting away down the hall, before kicking a door open and locking herself in some random room.

Knock on the door. "I'm going to go check on Mia. Text me if you need some to talk to... Claire he's gonna be alright."

>>36426009
We have Mr. Miller's numbe right? trying calling him first.

>>36426009
Go to the nurse's station and ask for the name of the person who just went into the OR.

>>36426009
>>36426020
this then
"Claire, open the door, come on, sulking isn't going to help, come on out and let's go check up on Mia's mum, the docs will let us know about your dad as soon as theres any news."

>>36426020
>>36426031
we should do these first

>>36426020
i dont think we have his number

>>36426051
Yeah, last time we tried to reach him by phone, we went through Claire.

>>36426051
He called us earlier? I think? Wit the whole ""Where is my daughter thing." Idk it that was our, or Claire's phone tho. Can someone not lazy check.

>Call Mr. Miller on the off chance Claire cant recognize her father. Double check this stuff.

>>36426009
Ask the nurse if she knows/has he been identified, then try calling him whist talking Claire out of the locked room.

I sigh, grasping my head. "It's always something."

I walk back to the entrance and find the nurses station. "Hi, sorry, the guy they just wheeled in with the acid burns.... I think I know him, could you tell me his name?"

The nurse clicks through the computer. "Reports say he..... Oh. Classified. Sorry kid." He makes a zipping motion across his lips. "Big stuff, can't talk. His next of kin will be notified... when the situation is resolved."

I stare through the window, biting back the choice insults I have, and pounding a fist into my thigh. Fucking great.

I lament the fact that I don't have his number. What kind of shit boyfriend am I? I pace up the hall again, trying to make a decision.

>Go check on Mia and Rosa
>Knock on Claire's door
>Check operating area

>>36426083
Yes, he did call us before. Giving it a ring would be the best option since the nurses might not know who they're operating on yet.

If it goes through we can put Claire on a settle this whole mess.

Of course, that isn't going to happen so let's try finding someone to ask who's in the operating room whilst it's ringing.

>>36426095
>Knock on Claire's door

>>36426095
>Knock on Claire's door

>>36426083
FUCK. He did call. Rosa's phone...

>>36426095
Yes Claire saying if she wants to talk she can call us. Then go check on Mia and rosa

>>36426095
>Knock on Claire's door

>>36426095
>Remember that his number will be in your dial history. You can easily work out which is his since you barely have anyone you call
>DIAL IT

You ain't getting out of this one Chuckles

>>36426117
He didn't call rosa's phone, why'd he even know her number?

>>36426119
He called Claire's phone when she was in the bathroom...we answered it

>>36426119
>>36426117
>>36426099
he called claires phone guys

captcha was opbless son sooooooo

>>36426132
Claire's phone whatever

>>36426133
Ah true, better get claire's phone then

>>36426095
>Knock on Claire's door
Right now we can't do shit for Claire's dad. What we can do is help Claire cool off, and be rational.

>>36426174
She's gonna try to rape us again. And this time I doubt she'll stop.

I hope I'm not about to intrude on some dying cancer patient, as I knock on the door I think Claire went through. "What?" She asks sullenly.

Thank Christ. "Claire? You okay?"

"Dandy. Fuck off." She says flatly, something slams into the other side of the door. "Think ya so fucking smart." I hear her mutter through the door."

"I asked the nurses at the front, and they said whoever that was, they were gonna call his next of kin soon." I tell her, hopefully.

"Boy that sure is super neato." Something heavier slams into the door. "Now, fuck OFF!"

"Claire baby please, I know you're hurting, I just want to hold you and be with you, please, I want to be in there with you."

if she doesn't open the door then

"Look, if that is your Dad, then he'll be alright, it was only some acid burns and the docs are taking care of him right now, so please just calm down. I'll be checking up on Mia and Rosa if you want me."

>>36426198
"Claire will you marry me?"

>>36426198
> You'll have to break my legs because I'm not going anywhere.

>>36426235
Made me laugh.
But still No, this is really not the time for that.
(also we marry Rosa for money, and keep Claire as family mistress)

>>36426198
"How about we call your dad, he doesn't answer then we show up and see what happened. That way we know for sure if it's him, besides if someone else did this don't you want to beat the shit out of them?"

Maybe this?

>>36426259
This followed by "Also, you've got your phone right? I wanna ring your dad incase it's not him in the room across."

"Claire... I'm sorry. Call me if you need anything? I'll check in on Mia, okay?" Silence, broken by a grunt of acknowledgement.

I take a few deep breaths, waiting for any response, but none comes. I sigh and walk away, back to Janine's room.

Mia sits by the top of the bed, fluffing her mother's pillows and practically glowing with happiness. Or maybe she is glowing.... does Mia glow? I don't think soooo. Besides the point.

"Ah there's the boy." Janine smiles and waves me in. "Mia says you've been ttaking good care of her while I was out."

I sit on the arm of Rosa's chair and stare at the blue haired women.

>>36426307
"Anything for a friend, do you know how long they're keeping you here for?"

"I'm trying my best."

Also ask Mia to draw a teddy bear for Claire and manifest it in her arms

>>36426307
"I'm trying... God I'm trying..." Then put our head in our hands and try not to cry.

"I'm trying my best." I manage to smile back.

Janine smiles. "Glad to hear it. Dave is... well he's not exactly parenting material, despite our attempts, isn't h Mia?" Her legs still aren't moving, lying flat on the mattress, as Mia grunts quietly in assertion. "Either way, thank you, you're a lovely boy." She makes a flickering motion of her eyebrows at Mia, and her daughter blushes.

I take the chance to check my phone. Holy shit it's almost ten thirty already. I guess that walk to the hospital wasn't as quick as I thought it was.

>>36426374

I dont

Its been so fucking long since we last did any SoL funtime stuff at home

>>36426428
>Check on Claire
Most important. Mia can stay with her mom and I trust Rosa to go home alone, hell she can take a taxi home. Also call our own mom and dad and tell them that we and Claire will be staying the night at the hospital as Claire's dad is in surgery.

>>36426428
"Mia. Can you check on Claire for me... I gotta get Rosa to her place but she needs someone."

>>36426428
>Take Rosa home
>Check on Claire on the way out.

>>36426442
Yeah luke a whole thread ago !

>>36426428
>>Take Rosa home
>>Check on Claire on the way out.

I stand again and wave goodbye to Mia and her mum. "Glad to see you're feeling better, but Rosa is supposed to be home soon."

Janine waves us to the door. "Go ahead, you crazy kids. I'm just sorry for ruining your ball."

I shake my head, as Rosa joins me. "Not at all, it was actually kind of boring anyways. Have a good night's sleep."

Mia purses her lips as we step out, shutting the door behind us. Out in the hall, I nudge Rosa in the ribs. "I'll get you home, but I think I shoul check on Claire first... She was kinda freaking out."

Once more, I knock on the door, "Claire?"

"Mrrm?" She grunts, sounding annoyed still.

"Has anyone called you?" I ask, hoping it might have resolved itself.

"No." Her answer is brutally short. "Go point out how smart you are somewhere else, okay? Stupid Claire is gonna wait here."

Rosa winces at this. "Claire, you're not st-"

"Yeah I am." She cuts in. "Just leave me alone."

>What do?

>>36426564
come on get we are gonna walk rosa home then we are gonna go and talk

>>36426564
"Claire you're not stupid at all, but I've got to get Rosa home now, you should try calling your dads phone. I'll come back here when I've taken Rosa home, I'll be back soon, love you."

>>36426564
"I-I'm taking Rosa home now. If you want to come back to my place I'll wait for you out side. If not... Claire..." Then head off holding back tears.

>>36426564
Go take Rosa home, then come back here afterwards.

Claire wants to wallow in self pity telling her she is not stupid might just piss her off more so try to get her moving have her help take rosa home

>>36426604
yeah nah we're not doing this, we're coming back after dropping Rosa off

stop being so much of a faggot

>>36426564
"Okay, I'll be back shortly, I have to get Rosa home."

>>36426564
Claire you are far from stupid and we both know. Look I have to take Rosa home, i'll be back after ok? Love you.

>>36426564
"help me take Rosa home i'm not as strong or athletic as you and i don't want to get injured again; so come help me"

"Claire... you're not stupid, okay?" She snorts inside. "You're not! Listen, I have to take Rosa home, but I'm coming right back and we can sort this out."

"Go then. Leave me the fuck alone already." At least she didn't throw anything this time, r-right?

I sigh and start to walk away, tugging Rosa along. "What's going on, why's she so convinced she's dumb?" Rosa asks, leaning on me.

I sigh, "I think she got pissed when I tried to treat her like an idiot, she was trying to break into the operating room, and I talked down to her when I was trying to calm her down."

Rosa winces "Ouch. Mighta screwed the pooch on that one." She flicks me in the ribs slightly. "Probably not a good idea to piss off a girl who can snap you like a twig." She reprimands as we step outside.

"Yeah I know that... it's just, it's hard okay?" I brush my hair up my forehead and take a few more deep breaths.

Rosa nods. "I know it is. I'm sorry we're all crazy and messed up in the head. We expect to much of you... even me. And I'm sorry for that." She leans up and kisses my cheek softly. "But we all do appreciate you helping us out. Claire would do anything to keep you alive, and Mia... well I don't think I need to say what her life would be like without us."


I nod. "Mmm. Thanks Rosa."

She just winks as we start to walk up the footpath to her house. "You know me, someones gotta try and be the level headed one, right?" She stretches a grin on her face and slugs me on the shoulder lightly.

I check my phone. "One minute past Eleven. Shit, and we were so close."

Rosa smiles and tiptoes forward briefly, kissing me on the lips. It's chaste, and sweet and brief, and in a whiff of flowers, she dances back. "One past Eleven and thirty seconds." She corrects me." She glances upwards, pointing at the window to her room, "Unlesssss?" She asks, eyebrow quirked.

>>36426801
"I can give you a boost up, and your magic powers should be enough to get you up there. That's one way to avoid your Dad who is undoubtedly waiting in the foyer."

>>36426801
Resist temptation to lewd, back to claire.

>>36426872
i think your right but but the Claire thing fucked with us

>>36426872
That's what I also thought.

>>36426801
"I'll give you a boost up to your window but then I gotta run back to the hospital."

I clap my hands on her shoulders. "I would love nothing more than to fuck you until you can't feel your legs anymore, but I really need to check on Claire, alright?"

But Rosa nods and smiles, patting me on the cheek. "Good boy. I woulda smacked your shit down if you said yes." She steps back and looks at her window, one eye closed. "Now if you don't mind..."

She leaps upwards, catching the ledge of her window, even as her dress flutters in the breeze, offering an admittedly pleasant view of her squirming her way through her window.

"Niii~iiight" She calls out. I wave back and set off, trying not to think about how hard Rosa could probably smack me if she tried. I don't think my spine could handle it.

I shudder at the mental image of my head spinning like a top on my neck, as I run through the warm night air, starting to sweat through the suit.

The nurse buzzes me back into the hospital main, under the impression I forgot my keys.

I dash back to the room and knock, "Claire? I'm back, do you want to talk?"

Silence. Nothing, not even a grunt now.

>What do

>>36426952
Is it locked?

>>36426952
She's likely fallen asleep.
Check the OR, and see if the operation is completed.

>>36426952
Text her. There's probably a cancer patient in there.

>>36426952
Test first then if no response try to open the door. If she isn't there look for her.

>>36426952
She probably left, ask the nurse about it, then text her.

>>36426872
You might be right, but THIS IS chuckles buttTickler,the pope of slaanesh, the corrupter of minds, the anus poker, jester of porn and pervert extraordinare.

>>36426952
Open the door slowly, if no one is there ask a nurse about the acid burn victim again. Claire might have gotten a call.

>>36426952
Call/text her. Probably text, as calling tends to be not allowed in hospitals.

>>36426986
Don't forget he's a nazi who got heat exhaustion from all the Jews he killed. Fact.

>>36426952
ask a nurse if that saw her leave

>>36426996
where did this come from?

>>36427012
He got heat exhaustion from standing in front of an oven all day. We know what he was doing.

>>36427012

>>36427017

He works in the grammar section, so not in the nazi bakery.
Also, he cuts the sphincter of his victims and uses then as rings and bracelets.

>>36426996
Dude he was baking CAKES. It just sounded racist due to the Oz accent.

>>36426952

Man why do all Australians except for the Crocodile Hunter sound racist.

>>36427073
cuz they are full ya cunt

>>36427073
great no im thinking of that quest sentinel runs

I whip my phone out and dial Claire quickly. If I hear her phone ring, I'll al least know she's pissed off and inside still.

Nothing sounds inside the room, as the call connects. "What?" She asks, still sounding grumpy.

"Claire, where'd you go?" I ask, trying to keep the sound of desperation out of my voice.

"What do you care?" She sulks bitterly.

"I care, because I love you, okay? Now please... just tell me you didn't break into the OR or anything."

"Yeah... that's what stupid Claire would do. Isn't it. Just break everything and kill everyone." She sighs. "I went home Daniel." I wince at the use of my full name, she hasn't called me that, ever. "Leave me alone." The call drops, and when I redial, the connection doesn't go through, she's turned her phone off.

"God dammit Claire, really?" I mutter, stowing the phone again.

>What do?

>>36427135
go to the trailer park if shes not there head home

>>36427135
Ask a nurse or doc about the guy, check on his status.

Text her that we're sorry and that we love her.

Then swing by the trailer park to see if she's there on the way home.

>>36427135
Alright, time for a jog.

Jog all the way there, knock on the door and do the trick we did with Marie.

>>36427165
Which one?

>>36427135
Go home. Bugging her is just gonna make her more upset. Go home. Lie in bed. And pet shoe.

>>36427185
Staying outside the door and waiting

>>36427135
Go home, and feed Shoe. Give Claire her space, because all we do is remind her of how stupid she gets when she's emotional.

>>36427249
>>36427192
These leave her alone

I text Claire one last time, telling her I love her, before stopping by the nurse's station. "I'm sorry sir, but unless you're immediate family, we can't divulge any information on that patient for some time." The nurse gives the typical reassuring smile of the medical profession.

Of course.

Well, time for a run. I loosen my tie and sling my jacket over my shoulders, before taking off towards the caravan park on the far side of town.

It's nearly midnight, by the time I arrive, huffing and puffing at the gates to the park. Using an old trick Claire showed me, I hitch the bottom of a saggy section of fence up and haul myself under it, dirtying myself severely in the mud in the process, but I'm in.

Wandering through the caravan park at night is intimidating in it's own way, the smell of greasy take out meals rot from bins everywhere, and the sounds of public television blaring out state approved news.

Finally I find Claire's caravan, and walk up to the door. The lights are on, but her Dad's car is gone.

One last deep breath, before I knock.

The inner door opens, revealing Claire, barefoot and wearing a tattered pair of old clothes she left behind. "What?" She asks, I spot her ball dress, balled and thrown on the counter.

The thin fly wire door still stands shut between us, her face unreadable, as she stands back lit from inside.

To be honest we didn't talk down to her. We said what ducking everyone says when your loved one is in the hospital. Calm down we cant hekp now. She's feeling guilty over the time spent with Danny and ignoring avoiding her dad. Now he might be gone.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for talking down to you. I didn't mean it. Really, I just wanted to calm you down a bit." I admit.

"And?" She asks, crossing her arms.

"And I'm here if you need anything. At all. Promise. You stuck with my bitch ass for thirteen years, so I'm sticking with you."

She unfolds her arms, tilting her head slightly "And?" She asks, sounding amused.

"And I think you're even more beautiful in what you're wearing right now than you were in that dress." I tell her, resting my forehead against the door. "So can I please come in?"

With a sigh, she unlocks the fly wire door. "Well when you act like such a pathetic little bitch, how could I possibly say no?" She asks, and I think I make out a smile on her face, before she turns and walks deeper into the caravan.

I let myself in. The place reeks, and some pans have something molten and black melted in to them. Claire tried to make something to eat.

She walks into the bathroom and shuts the door behind her quickly. The lock doesn't click. Wait does that door lock?

>What do?

>>36427301
"You have anything to drink in here?"
If yes - proceed to silently drink with her till the call comes or you both drift off to sleep.

>>36427590
talk to her through the door tell her about the about the abandoned gym with it equipment still in it

>>36427610
Find something to drink. Pour glasses. Stay mostly silent. Just be there for her.

>>36427590
Fall asleep

>>36427590
Call for pizza delivery.

>>36427590
First, get the pans into the sink, and start them soaking with some dish detergent and hot water; we can clean them later.
Lay out her dress so it doesn't wrinkle, and do the same with our clothes.
The pants will need to go to the dry cleaner, but the shirt we can at least start soaking. We don't want it to stain.

We've probably still got mud on us, so go into the bathroom with Claire. Tell her we found a gym with still intact equipment for us to loot before it all gets demolished.

>>36427590
Make something drinkable (coffee, cacao, whatever they have there).
Also see if you can get rid of tings causing the stench, and ask if she wants us to make snack for her?

>>36427669
Potential for "I am so dumb I can't even cook without failure" thoughts. Is not really good in this situation.

>>36427669
Are we going to become the house wife in this relationship.

>>36427626
This i guess. You might need a drink after all the emotional rollercoastering.

>>36427713
>Potential for "I am so dumb I can't even cook without failure" thoughts.
Those thoughts are already there, seeing as how there's something burned onto the pan already.
Getting the pans started on soaking isn't going to make it any worse than it already is.

I decide to give her some space, leaving her in the bathroom, I walk back to the kitchen. I shift the pans into the sink and squirt some detergent over them, before heading for the fridge, laying the dress out a bit more evenly along the way.

It's nearly empty now. Two cans of beer remain, some old packets of that green workout sludge Claire likes to drink apparently 'just add water' and some bottled water, looks cold, even if they are a store brand.

>What do?

>>36427766
Order pizza. I'm sure someone works 24/7
Drink beer.

>>36427766
>'just add water'

>>36427766
fuck it make the green sludge

>>36427766
Get as much mud off of us as we can.
Knock on the bathroom door, ask Claire if she wants any of the green stuff.

>>36427778
We can't order pizza, we don't have any money.

>>36427828
Haven't we got some for the ball from the parents? I thought we had.

Sludge!
Also we should get some instant coco packets and hide them at Clare place for emergencies.

>>36427985
ohhh look tree shit

>>36427985
Other things we need to get and hide at Claire place for emergencies:
Canned food
Toothpaste
Brushes
Balloons
Dragon dildoes
???

I bite two packets open and pour them out into empty glasses, left on the bench. They smell like old booze, but a good rinsing out leaves them workable.

I pull my phone out and order a 24 hour pizza place, ordering Claire's favourite, Hawaiian with added capsicum, feral food, but she loves it.

I pour her drink out and leave it on the bench, sitting at the still disintegrated table, in the terrible seats, sipping the vomit flavoured and consistency drink.

Eventually Claire walks out and skulls her whole drink in one. "I'll pay for the pizza." She murmurs, sitting opposite me. Crooking one leg up on the chair, she starts to pick at her toenails.

"It was in here, where we first... well no that was the library, but in here was more... proper I guess." She glances up, with a faint smile, "Even if you were molesting me."

"I wasn't mol-"

She waves a hand, "Semantics. Look dude. Point is... I kinda miss this place. And my dad. I barely saw him even before we started fucking like rabbits, but I didn't see him for a month straight this time, nearly two." She gestures to her phone, now turned back on. "And now I don't- I don't even know- know if-"

She's hiccuping as she tries to hold back her tears. "Claire." I lean forwards, resting a hand on her leg.

She just shakes her head. "Sh-shut up, I'm not crying- hic- cryings for pussies."

I move across to the opposite seat and hug into her. "Okay. You're not crying. Let's just say it's raining."

She glances at me sidelong. "Sh-shut up." She cuffs the back of her fist upwards into my shoulder.

I just nod into her shoulder. "Hey, I have an idea, when ya feel up to it. Instead of spending your money on equipment... there's this old gym in the abandoned district, fulla shit. Bet we can steal it."

Claire snorts back a few tears, wiping her eyes. "I do like stealing." She giggles quietly. "Must be genetic." She whips a few more tears off her cheeks and pats my grip lightly, to get me to let go. "C'mon, pizza'll be here soon."

She grabs her wallet and leaves, returning with a pizza, covered in greasy cheese, ham and pineapple, soiled with capsicum. "Mmmmm. Capsicum." Claire purrs. She rips a slice out of the box and wags it in my face. "Want some?" She asks. "I mean... I paid. But I guess you deserve something nice for being a nice little bitch tonight." She winks, tossing the box down on the bench and setting into her own slice, mouth shiny and strings of cheese hanging from her teeth, as she waves it in my face.

She and I both know I hate capsicum, but at least she cracked a proper smile.

Bite off as much capsicum as we can, kiss Clare, and push it in her mouth?

Otherwise just put your capsicum on hep piece.

"Well at least it isn't raining for your little bitch tonight, huh? AND you would have denied a man, practically dying from hunger a tiny bit of deliciousness? How cruel.
Whatever, less talking more sharing pizza."

>>36428661
Well, pizza puns ARE kind of CHEESY

I take it and bite down, wincing emphatically, as the horrid grainy texture of it crunches between my teeth, bitter flavour ruining anything enjoyable about the pizza.

Claire, for her part, snickers and leans down, leaving a greasy kiss mark on my cheek. I eat it as slowly as possible, oh god I think it's giving me indigestion.

My stomach heaves and gurgles, as I set mine down, hiding the half eaten piece back inside the box. "Good boy." She pats my cheek and kisses me again.

I guess it's okay when she condescends to me, is it? What the fuck ever. I quickly duck into the bathroom, purposefully throwing it up before the indigestion really sets in.

Finally, I emerge, gargling away the last of the flavour and vomit in the sink.

"I hate you." I grimace at her, forcing a smile.

Claire, for her part, just throws up a peace sign and saunters away to her bedroom. There's that lovely bitch I know.

I move to follow her, only for the caravans door to fly open in my face.

Claire's dad walks in. "Oh, ssyou. Evenin'." He reeks to high heaven of cheap whiskey and sex.

His face is unblemished, skin smooth and unburned, barring a few scars he said he got in the war, but Claire said a whore gave him with a smashed open bottle.

He leans down and hauls me to my feet. "Why youse in me house then?" He slurs, kicking his boots off and rubbing his temples. Some mud spatters on my shoes as he kicked his own off, but it's not like I'm getting any dirtier. "An' whass with the geddup?" He asks, reaching into the fridge for the beers.

"I was bringing Claire back from the school Ball."
Go over to Claire's bedroom door and knock.
"Hey Claire! Your dad's home, doesn't look like he was in hospital."

>>36429027
Living while other die during the war.

>>36429027
We can probably google that.

"I was bringing Claire back from the ball... speaking of which, you might want to brace yourself. CLAIRE!"

Mr Miller just looks befuddled, cracking a beer open, only for Claire to barrel through the 'door' of her room, spot her father and rush across the room.

She jumps in the air a little, as she's about to reach him, and socks a punch at him, aiming for his jaw. "Why didn't you pick. UP!" She screams.

Mr Miller, for his part, catches her fist in midair with his free hand, locking his wrist.

Claire's forward motion ceases completely, and she locks in place in the air for a few seconds, growling impotently as her Father lowers her to the ground, gently placing her down.

"Was... busy. Why?" He asks between sips.

Claire slams a fist on the table and shakes her head. "I kept trying to call you! I thought you were in the hospital!" She points at me. "I treated my boyfriend like shit, cos I was scared about you and you were just fucking some prozzy?"

"Yup." He burps and crushes the can, tossing it at the bin. "Sorry. I'm a piece of shit, yeah yeah, let me have it. I know, your mother told me all the same." He takes a deep breath and looks Claire squarely in the eyes.

>Let Claire rant

>>36429316
Give Claire a look but don't stop her. Just have her loosen up a bit.

I step back, I doubt I could stop her anyways.

"You piece of shit, I hate you! I thought you were dying, I thought you were gonna end up like mum!"

Claire tries to punch again, but her dad grabs her fist and she locks in place for a few seconds. Mr Miller just sags inwards as the words flow over him.

"Stop IT!" She howls. "LET ME HIT YOU!" She swings again and again, each time she gets caught and locked in place. "You let her die! You could have stopped them!"

Mr Miller just shakes his head. "If I had, you'd be dead. That's just how your mother wanted it. You think I don't hate that too?"

Claire gapes at him. "Did- did you just?" She takes a step backwards.

Mr Miller shakes his head, a bolt of clarity piercing his drunken stupor. "Wait, no, Eileen- CLAIRE, that isn't what I meant." He reaches out, but his palms are starting to glow red.

Claire steps back further, staring at him with disgust, I try to step in and intervene, when Claire turns, bolting through the door and into the night.

"Shit." Mr Miller sags inwards on himself, slapping his temples again. "I- SHIT!" He kicks out at a box, cursing as it proves to sturdy, jarring his toes.

>What do

>>36429549

Claire's pissed because he accidentally said that he'd have preferred his wife to be alive over Claire

I shake my head. "Jesus Christ." Best Ball ever Danny 10/10. "I'm going to get Claire and calm her down. You and I... are going to have to have a conversation at some point." I jab a finger in his direction.

He just nods, staring downwards impotently, before shuffling to his 'bedroom'. "Jus'.... treat her right." He mumbles.

I slip out the door and look around. "Goddamnit Claire, where'd you go now?" There's no sign of her other than the fence on their chainlink gate swaying in the breeze. Of course she would leave her phone behind. I slip it in my pocket and consider.

But fuck, i was getting a lot if miss on that one.

Chuckles will be ending it within 1-2 posts.

Stupid time zones.

>>36429958
Nooo! the cliffhangers!

I'll check the arcade. Just in case, I text Rosa, asking her to come find me near the arcade if I don't show up tomorrow.

Another run through town and my suit is practically falling to pieces, mudstained and reeking of sweat in the late spring air.

The arcade's been shut for years, killed by consoles, but Claire and I figured out an entrance in a few years back. She used to climb up on the roof, hauling me up after her and we'd drop in.

Thanks to a growth spurt and getting fit, I can mostly get myself up top without much trouble. Much trouble being I feel the shoulder seam of my shirt tear. Fuck.

I clamber in through the vents and drop into the arcade graveyard. The building still has old machines, eerie now that the place is dark and empty.

"Claire?" I call out. I walk around, getting no answer, eventually finding her curled up in an abandoned photo booth by my phones light.

"You heard what he said." Claire says, quiet. "He hates that I'm alive. Rather than her." She just shakes her head. "And here I was worrying about him. All. Fucking. Night."

>Write in

>>36429958
> stupid timezones

>>36430023
That's not what he meant. He loves you, in his own way, and you know it. He is just drunk and has hard time expressing himself.
He hates that She is dead, not that you are alive.
(Woman logic much?)

>>36430023
"Calire if your father hates anyone it's himself, from what he said I'm guessing he had a choice, you or your mother."

Something like this?

>>36430023
i don't know he was drunk maybe he meant that maybe not but i am more then happy that you alive

>>36430023
Claire it isn't that he hates you. He ahtes himself. Remember he was once a big powerful strong man who could tackle anything the world threw at him. Then the woman he loved died and there was nothing he could do and no one he could really blame. It ripped him to shreds. Why do you think he's so self destructive to himself? It isn't because he hates you, it's because he hates himself for failing to save her.

>>36430023
Go over to her, sit down next to her and lay her in our lap while we pet her.

Claire is the muscles! It all makes sense!

>>36430023
Sit next to her.
"No, he just hates that she's dead, not that you're alive. And I thought I had problems expressing myself. Never getting drunk."

You ask a man why he didn't save his wife, and he says that he had to in order to save his daughter, and you take it to mean that he hates his daughter.

>>36430225
Claire can't understand a man's heart.
Losing something you love is hard as fuck.

>>36430278
Out of all of this I'm not getting, "Can't understand a mans heart!"

I'm getting a... Claire.. you're fucking stupid.

Granted she's strung out and worked up on an emotional high.

"I don't think that's what he meant." I tell her, scooting into the photo booth. I sit next to her and gently ease her into laying down, head on my legs as I pat her. "He loves you in his own way. And you know that. He's just drunk and has a hard time expressing himself." I lean down and kiss her in the dark, think I got her ear. "He hates that she's dead, not that you're alive."

Claire just grunts in the dark. I can hear her smear her eyes again, sniffing in the dark. "God look at me, I'm literally being crazy daddy issues girl right now."

I reach down and hold her hand in the dark, hot and wet from tears. "It doesn't matter to me, got it? I love you no matter what." I remember when you pulled that shit coming back from the school trip, it was like.... my heart froze. I would have done ANYthing to fix that."

Claire nods into my knees. "I know. I'm sorry. It was a cunt thing to do." She stands suddenly in the dark. "Alright. We're two lovers, crying alone in an abandoned arcade, the night of the prom-" She begins, sounding playful.

"Don't call it a prom." I scold her lightly

"Two young lovers, after a night of heaving emotions. What should we do?" She leans in and kisses me, her lips are wet and salty.

>Write in

>>36430322

>>36430322
"We should head home, where its safe and private and comfortable, so we can really enjoy the night properly."

>>36430322

>"Considering this isn't a slasher film, I'm assuming you mean go somewhere nice and get dirty."

"Not sure. I think we should get a good nights sleep. After some good food." I tell her.

"But we had pizza." She whines.

"I repeat. GOOD food. Besides, I'm sure Shoe's missing us." I remind her.

I can hear her lips part in a smile in the dark, the delicate separating of her lips, her cheeks stretching. "Oh yeah." She leans in and kisses me. "Thanks for my kitty too. I never properly thanked you."

I just kiss her forehead and lead her to the back door, one that only swings open from inside. Better than clambering through the vents.

I check the time briefly, nearly three am now, old me would still be shitposting this time of night, but after all the running and crawling I did tonight.... I just feel exhausted.

Claire swings by some all night chinese place, scoffing spring roll and handing me one. The greasy meat, dipped in the oversugared sweet chilli sauce.

Heaven.

Claire kisses me, licking the last few flakes of crust out of my mouth before we head home.

I let us in, creeping through the house quietly, I pull her in to my room, feeding Shoe some leftovers we stole from our fridge.

I throw the muddied and torn clothes aside gladly, the back of my brain working on a way to explain that to mum and dad, but for now.... all I want is Claire.

She shoves me back on my bed, kissing feircely, she moves to run her hands through my hair, pressing softly, right on my crotch, when suddenly she pulls back, looking confused, "What's...."

She goes pale as she reads the card she withdrew.

"Uh, Danny?" She flicks the card over and I read it.

"I know what you did." It reads simply. That on it's own would be scary, considering the variety of illicit activities I partake in. But the capper is the signature.

"Richard Mishone."

WELP.

Yelling and belittling a man who is by all accounts smarter, stronger, richer, and better than us?

>she was running her heands through dannys hair
>she moves to run her hands through my hair, pressing softly, right on my crotch, when suddenly she pulls back
>right on my crotch

>>36431032
as in she was lying on top of him

>>36431032
just because some is all of those things doesn't mean you cant belittle some one he obviously couldn't care about his daughter happiness if he did engaging her to the douche lord is an interesting way to show it

We don't know what he really knows. He's trying to scare us. We'll probably have to deal with it, but lets be reasonable about this. It's just like the Doctor being an arsehole to see if we are.

Guys, do we have any good guess what the Parents powers are? For everyone's parents?
