(one in the morning and i haven't done any of my hw yet woooo)
(@/starlight we blame qpp for this one
@/ghost i am happy you enjoyed the great wall of text)
endri pulled up, watched, received wrist burns via his own stupidity, watched some more, and left to have meaningful conversations with fundy. they only exploded things a little bit. aren't we proud of them for learning what 'limiting yourself' means?
(the yap consumed me again sorry gang)
Speaking of the blue blur, Fundy and Endri had gotten away from the fire. This has nothing to do with Sonic. I've fooled you. Moving on. Luckily enough, it seemed contained to the stage area. Would that last? So they both hoped.
Fundy had flopped down onto the shitty assembly he called a bed the second they reached the van. En doubted he was sleeping, but any form of his rest was victory enough.
Admittedly, it was hidden well, but Endri knew how to spot when Fundy was overworking himself. For an outside observer, it would probably just be seen as putting in effort. Fundy was smart, obviously, way smarter than En could ever hope to be. That didn't mean he wasn't human. As if to prove his point, Fundy grabbed some crumpled papers he'd written about potential policies and tossed them aside.
As for Endri themselves?
Waiting until Fundy was at least too distracted or too sleepy to notice, En slipped out, not noticing the eyes that followed them until the door shut. His own bits of green went to the sky. Stars and smoke. Even when the latter went away, the former never really shone the same.
From there, it was a familiar trail off to his secret cave. No, not secret, because Edith knew. His friend, who could've killed Fundy today. His fire, who'd run off without a word and left him in the dust. His.. he didn't know what the fuck she was anymore, okay?
Endri screamed. They ranted, yelled, cried, kicked, clawed, and tried to get the feelings out. Not for the first time, he wished he had come out right - no excessive emotions, no dithering on matters when the writing was already on the wall.
Then, like clockwork, it was over. For the most part, the tears ceased. En crawled out of the little hole with a strange tranquility about him. Calm before the storm, sure. But what about after it?
(parents. always foiling their children's devious plots of listening to yaelokre songs
@/temp yeahh that's my boobee buddy eat that pushpop show it what's what leave no trace behind murder is legal if you let it be gravity falls reference goes here if ykyk)
(and i saw cole's response!! saw it when it came out (happened to be on their channel) and clicked at impossible speeds)
(i was, in fact, not the leveret in hiding)
(me when potentials for endri trying to give mel a shot because edith and mauve like her but he can't seem to find a place in this new family dynamic for a bit and he stares at mel wondering if she really was what they needed and if he should just let this one go and it manifests in jealousy he tries to kill but can't because he already thinks edith replaced him and mauve but if mauve also likes mel better maybe he's the rotten root in this fucked up family tree and maybe he needs to be cut out and maybe dream wasn't wrong
cue inhale
unrelated to anything but let it be known that kid & leveret goes so hard)

(@/tmmy figured as much, yeah. at this point i'm more up to date on alex-ghost lore than edith-mauve lore /silly)
freaky channel is known to escape confinement and show up in comment sections sometimes
(they're the punching bags yet somehow i feel like i'm the one who got hit)
Endri, who'd been pacing and debating running into the flames themselves for the past few minutes, stopped the second Mauve dropped Fundy off. He watched her go, then shifted his attention to his friend.
Neither of them were injured. But they could've been. A simple realization that hit them both like an anvil.
Briefly, there was a pause. Fundy hugged first. Before long, they were both crying, thanking whatever deities came to mind, apologizing for things neither could bother to care for anymore. They were alive, and they were together. The world couldn't be better.
(good morrow)
(no i know what defenestration is i love defenestration broken windows so many bills i should probably head to bed now)
(i don't even really know what a toaster strudel is it's just really fun to type)

(did you wash the sink out the first time??)
(if a toaster strudel could toaster strudel then it would toaster strudel sadly a toaster strudel cannot toaster strudel so there is no way to know how many toaster strudels a toaster strudel could toaster strudel)
