Characters present: Ollie, Ceph
Date: 1/30/24
Season: 3

[Ollie wanders into the Astroplane, picking his way between stalagmites as he looks for Faulkner. He cups his hands around his mouth, not really shouting but still raising his voice.]

[20:38:29] <✦[rp] Ollie> Faulknnnerrrrrrrrrrr . Where the fuck are you

[20:39:02] <✦[rp] Ollie> I need to uhhhh .... talk to you about . THINGS

[The darkness of the cave seems to seep in around him. Something echos in the dark.]

[20:40:06] <✦[rp] Ollie> wow haha i sure love scary noises

[20:40:27] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh!

[20:40:31] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh-

[Fast asleep, Faulkner is curled up tightly into a ball. His body is larger than normal, and has now gone completely draconic. Fur and scales cover the creature’s body, though its face is covered by its large paws, obscuring the true nature of it.

Ollie squints, then whispers.]

[20:42:36] <✦[rp] Ollie> alright ... sleeping ....sure

[20:42:47] <✦[rp] Ollie> ...probably for the best

[20:43:07] <✦[rp] Ollie> It's fine I can . do this on my own

[Ollie backs off, trying not to disturb Faulkner, but he seems not to notice any of the noise. He appears to be deep in sleep.

Ollie returns to the house, grabbing their thickest coat, and the necessary equipment for the journey. He steps up to the door, sighing softly to himself.]

[20:46:56] <✦[rp] Ollie> if I can't be a good son then at LEAST I can be a good friend

[Ollie leaves Wisteria, and goes through the portal into the Nether. He passes through the Nether Hub, before turning in the direction of the Malfaction.

They arrive in the dark blackstone underground of the Malfaction. Ollie heads towards the stairway up to the surface, rolling their eyes at the “Do not enter: Ollie” sign before heading up the stairs.

Ollie huffs, out of breath as he climbs the third flight to the surface.]

[20:52:17] <✦[rp] Ollie> i ffucking ha.te stairs

[20:53:08] <✦[rp] Ollie> they have weird limb eating and brain altering shit but NO ELEVATOR

[Ollie steps out into the bright snow expanse of the Malfaction.]

[20:54:26] <✦[rp] Ollie> where the fuck could that thing be .....

[As they start to walk across the bridge, they see a large structure towering in the distance.[

[20:55:40] <✦[rp] Ollie> ..well I guess I might start there right

[20:55:58] <✦[rp] Ollie> and hope I don't step in some weird skulk trap or something . yeah .

[Ollie approaches the massive building, climbing up the stairs.]

[20:58:07] <✦[rp] Ollie> who the fuck needs something this big....

[He pushes open the massive doors of the church, casting a seam of light into the darkened exterior. Ollie winces as the door groans on its hinges, hoping there was no one inside to hear.

He pushes it back against it to close it, his eyes adjusting to the darkness, only to find–

The dragon egg is right in front of them, sitting on a pedestal. This is going to be easy.

Something swoops down from above, landing gracefully behind Ollie. A familiar snicker echoes throughout the interior of the church. Ollie whips around to see: ]

[21:02:32] <✦[rp] ceph> haha

[21:02:35] <✦[rp] ceph> look what the cat dragged in ~

[Ceph stands behind them, one hand touching their cheek as they scan Ollie over.]

[21:02:57] <✦[rp] ceph> ollieeeee~ how are uuuuu

[Ceph rolls their eyes at him.]

[21:04:10] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh really

[21:04:12] <✦[rp] Ollie> were you busy

[They gesture to the continuing construction on the interior of the church.]

[21:04:14] <✦[rp] ceph> this shits still a mess

[Ceph’s eyes narrow.]

[21:04:27] <✦[rp] ceph> why r u here btw ^_^

[21:05:18] <✦[rp] ceph> u wouldnt visit even if i were on my deathbed

[21:05:25] <✦[rp] Ollie> I wouldn't.

[Ollie rolls his eyes, pointing at the egg.]

[21:05:07] <✦[rp] Ollie> what do you THINK

[21:05:16] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'm sure you can use that brain of yours

[21:05:22] <✦[rp] ceph> oh .

[They gaze at the egg.]

[21:05:44] <✦[rp] ceph> u want the lil thing that princy left me

[Void ripples between Ollie’s fingers, and in a sudden blast of energy, a massive axe appears in his hands.]

[21:06:02] <✦[rp] Ollie> and what if I do

[Ceph snorts. They gesture to themself.]

[21:06:09] <✦[rp] ceph> put ur fucking axe away wtf

[21:06:19] <✦[rp] ceph> im fucking bare

[21:06:37] <✦[rp] ceph> u wouldnt threaten me would u

[Ollie seems to deflate, looking a little less menacing and a little more afraid.]

[21:06:34] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'm just trying to be safe okay

[21:07:12] <✦[rp] Ollie> there's been too much BULLSHIT happening because of this egg and I'd rather not deal with any of it

[21:06:58] <✦[rp] ceph> litteraly chill

[They rustle around in the folds of their cloak.]

[21:07:19] <✦[rp] ceph> would some booze make u feel betterrrrrrrr

[They pull a bottle of vodka from somewhere inside, and hold it out to Ollie.]

[21:07:44] <✦[rp] Ollie> are you serious right now .

[21:07:53] <✦[rp] ceph> mhmmmmm~

[21:07:56] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'm about to STEAL from you

[Ceph looks half annoyed.]

[21:08:01] <✦[rp] ceph> what

[21:08:12] <✦[rp] Ollie> are you trying to lure me into a trap or something

[Ceph looks Ollie up and down with a smirk.]

[21:12:15] <✦[rp] ceph> u may be his idk what ur into

[Ollie waves his hands up and down, getting more angry than he meant to.]

[21:12:30] <✦[rp] Ollie> there's no BITCHES HERE !!!!!!! NO ONES BITCH

[21:12:33] <✦[rp] Ollie> sigh .

[Ceph admires their nails.]

[Ceph holds out a hand.]

[21:13:56] <✦[rp] ceph> ok so

[21:14:01] <✦[rp] Ollie> UGHHHH

[Ceph approaches the axe, easily manipulating it in Ollie’s hands to pull it under their chin.]

[21:14:03] <✦[rp] ceph> ur a PUSSY

[21:14:11] <✦[rp] ceph> u wont kill me

[21:14:16] <✦[rp] ceph> u cant

[Ollie only makes a movement now, to try and pull it away from Ceph.]

[21:14:24] <✦[rp] Ollie> do you WANT me to????????

[Ceph pauses. The blade is sharp under their chin, they can feel the honed edge of it.]

[21:14:30] <✦[rp] ceph> hmm

[21:14:34] <✦[rp] ceph> do i ??

[They trail off. It’s a bit odd for their more showy nature. Ollie pulls the blade away, the handle slipping out of Ceph’s hands.]

[21:14:51] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'm too tired for this

[21:14:25] <✦[rp] ceph> ur fucking emo

[21:18:02] <✦[rp] ceph> isnt that more than what ppl do for u

[21:18:31] <✦[rp] ceph> whens the last time someone asked about ur day n that shit .

[The last few words echo around the church. They echo in Ollie’s ears. They look away, upset suddenly, something twisting in their chest. He looks at the egg, and then at Ceph.]

[21:18:40] <✦[rp] ceph> ^_^

[21:19:18] <✦[rp] Ollie> ....fine

[21:19:31] <✦[rp] Ollie> I don't want weed I just want the vodka

[21:19:43] <✦[rp] ceph> wow yayyyy ^_^

[He sighs in defeat, unsummoning his axe, and returning it to the dark void.]

[21:20:04] <✦[rp] Ollie> it's not like I can't get the egg after

[21:20:14] <✦[rp] ceph> yeah ^_^

[21:20:43] <✦[rp] Ollie> sure then, why not

[21:23:12] <✦[rp] ceph> ehhh

[21:23:19] <✦[rp] ceph> u will be ok

[A pair of long wings unfold from their back, and spread out. In a graceful maneuver, they launch into the air and sail towards a hidden opening in the ceiling. They land and wave down to Ollie.]

[21:24:04] <✦[rp] ceph> up heree

[21:24:17] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh shit

[Ollie flies up less gracefully, skidding into the ground up near Ceph and toppling over.]

[21:24:21] <✦[rp] Ollie> ow

[He pushes himself up off the ground and turns to Ceph.]

[21:24:23] <✦[rp] Ollie> okay im fine

[21:24:44] <✦[rp] ceph> follow me

[Ceph leads Ollie through the interior of the church.]

[21:24:38] <✦[rp] ceph> okay this place is a mess

[21:26:44] <✦[rp] Ollie> don't say that

[21:26:47] <✦[rp] ceph> needed room 4 them

[Food is spread out across the table as Ollie takes a seat. It looks genuinely very nice, like an expensive feast for two. Candied fruit and steak basted in butter, small courses of tundra greens and root vegetables, a fish course with whole blackened stream fish cooked in a slightly salty sauce.]

[21:27:02] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh sweet

[21:27:03] <✦[rp] Ollie> food

[21:27:10] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'm really hungry actually

[In a mocking tone: ]

[21:27:30] <✦[rp] ceph> u poor thijnng

[21:27:57] <✦[rp] Ollie> okay whatever

[They eat in silence for a few minutes, with Ollie quickly devouring any plate passed in front of him, and Ceph mostly just observing him.]

[21:27:57] <✦[rp] ceph> so ollie~ how r uu

[Ollie looks up from his plate.]

[21:28:03] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh

[He wipes some food from the corner of his mouth.]

[Ollie takes a swig of their drink, now in a worse mood than before. Ceph downs a bottle of vodka.]

[21:40:37] <✦[rp] ceph> ^_^

[Ceph leaves, and then returns with a rolling cart of food. They set more plates on the table in front of Ollie.]

[21:40:58] <✦[rp] Ollie> thanks

[Ceph returns to their seat.]

[Ceph pulls out another bottle of vodka and knocks it back.]

[21:45:18] <✦[rp] Ollie> despite how we don't get along

[21:45:27] <✦[rp] Ollie> despite how much we want to hurt eachother

[Ollie laughs to himself.]

[Ollie looks tired by the question, he lifts his glass to his mouth, but finds that there’s only ice left in the glass.]

[21:48:06] <✦[rp] Ollie> I ran out of vodka damn

[Ceph grabs another bottle, pouring him another drink. Ollie drinks as much as he can muster before the taste gets to him. He sets his glass down on the table with a heavy hand.]

[21:48:35] <✦[rp] Ollie> my type is . what . I don't fucking know

[He rubs his chest.]

[21:48:43] <✦[rp] Ollie> fucking dead

[21:49:00] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'M NOT

[21:49:15] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'd never do that

[21:49:21] <✦[rp] Ollie> I'm better than that

[21:49:32] <✦[rp] ceph> ur dead hoe

[21:49:43] <✦[rp] Ollie> hahaha

[A laugh that comes out to cover the breaking of Ollie’s voice.]

[21:49:48] <✦[rp] Ollie> great, as you can see

[21:50:05] <✦[rp] ceph> hahaaa yeaa ^_^\

[21:50:11] <✦[rp] Ollie> this is such a fun talk . I love talking about my dead fucking spouse

[21:50:23] <✦[rp] Ollie> who I don't even KNOW if they are actually dead

[21:50:57] <✦[rp] ceph> sad.

[21:50:32] <✦[rp] ceph> if it makes u feel better i think my hoe died too

[21:50:42] <✦[rp] Ollie> who?

[21:50:51] <✦[rp] ceph> the operator

[21:50:58] <✦[rp] Ollie> HAH

[21:51:29] <✦[rp] ceph> three bitches with dead unknown sposes on this server

[21:51:46] <✦[rp] ceph> we should start a club

[Ceph doesn’t seem phased by the passing of someone like that. They swirl the liquid in the glass on the table in front of them. Ollie starts laughing.]

[21:51:58] <✦[rp] Ollie> WE SHOULD

[21:52:45] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh that's- hah. thats hilarious ...

[21:53:08] <✦[rp] Ollie> I called you out . Over talking to someone who's possibly dead

[21:53:11] <✦[rp] Ollie> holy fucking shit

[21:53:36] <✦[rp] ceph> i dont get whats so funny but whatever

[Ceph brings the glass to their lips and sips daintily.]

[21:54:05] <✦[rp] Ollie> even after escaping, the Unknown keep fucking with my life

[21:54:14] <✦[rp] Ollie> oneee way or another

[21:54:25] <✦[rp] ceph> wowww uh huh

[21:54:27] <✦[rp] Ollie> it's like i'll never be free

[21:54:56] <✦[rp] ceph> and how does that make u feel

[21:55:05] <✦[rp] ceph> ^_^

[Ollie holds the glass in his hands close to his chest. The cold glass has started to become uncomfortable to the touch, his fingers have started to go numb. He doesn’t seem to notice.]

[21:55:26] <✦[rp] Ollie> maybe I never escaped that fucking prison they put me in

[21:55:36] <✦[rp] Ollie> that's ...so funny

[21:55:43] <✦[rp] ceph> wow they put u in prison

[21:55:58] <✦[rp] ceph> iv been to prison

[21:56:05] <✦[rp] ceph> like 5 times

[21:56:21] <✦[rp] ceph> its ok tho i escaped

[21:55:55] <✦[rp] Ollie> haha ... no not exactly that

[21:56:16] <✦[rp] Ollie> I felt more like, an animal put in a cage

[21:56:23] <✦[rp] ceph> wow

[21:57:36] <✦[rp] ceph> anyway that sounds like it sucked

[Ollie clenches his fist around the glass.]

[21:57:44] <✦[rp] Ollie> thanks! It did !!!

[Finally, the cold seems to get to him. He sets the glass back down on the table.]

[21:57:54] <✦[rp] Ollie> WOW I don't get to talk about that with anyone

[21:58:00] <✦[rp] Ollie> kind of an uncomfortable subject ykk

[21:58:12] <✦[rp] ceph> id imagine

[21:57:54] <✦[rp] ceph> did u try seducing an operator about it

[21:58:20] <✦[rp] Ollie> NO thanks , those were the ones who wanted me KILLED bitch

[21:58:28] <✦[rp] ceph> ok and\

[21:58:34] <✦[rp] ceph> me too bitch

[21:58:32] <✦[rp] Ollie> I don't think I could have gotten myself out of that one

[21:58:56] <✦[rp] Ollie> I don't have your kind of ...confidence

[21:59:02] <✦[rp] Ollie> and I specially didn't have it then

[Ceph is a bit past tipsy at this point.]

[21:59:08] <✦[rp] ceph> or my TITS !!!!!!!!!!

[21:59:24] <✦[rp] Ollie> or your tits no I did not have that either

[21:59:39] <✦[rp] ceph> wow damn

[21:59:17] <✦[rp] Ollie> I was just ......naive, and scared

[21:59:49] <✦[rp] ceph> no natural defenses

[21:59:45] <✦[rp] Ollie> maybe if I did everything would have been different who knows am I right

[Ollie shrugs and takes another sip.]

[22:00:13] <✦[rp] ceph> well it happened n shit ay

[22:00:21] <✦[rp] Ollie> yeahh

[22:00:22] <✦[rp] ceph> its in the past

[22:00:35] <✦[rp] ceph> no use giving it much thought

[22:00:47] <✦[rp] Ollie> mhmm

[22:00:57] <✦[rp] ceph> thats what i do

[22:01:17] <✦[rp] Ollie> I personally think thats the healthiest way to go about it

[Ceph furrows their brow.]

[22:01:15] <✦[rp] ceph> is this how ppl bond

[22:01:34] <✦[rp] ceph> maybe thats what im doimng wrong

[22:01:35] <✦[rp] Ollie> I don't know

[22:01:50] <✦[rp] ceph> im not truamadumping enough

[22:02:06] <✦[rp] Ollie> I don't know what that means ^^

[Ceph looks straight at Ollie.]

[Ollie opens his mouth.]

[22:03:34] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh okay

[22:03:37] <✦[rp] Ollie> awesome

[He closes his mouth.]

[22:03:41] <✦[rp] Ollie> no nevermind that sounds gross

[Ceph looks away at some distant point.]

[22:03:47] <✦[rp] ceph> oh i think i crushed the others

[22:03:57] <✦[rp] Ollie> of course you did

[22:08:59] <✦[rp] Ollie> rightt ...got it

[The two sit in silence for a few minutes, Ceph continues to drink as Ollie taps his fingers on his glass. They’ve never been this candid with anyone, let alone each other.]

[22:10:18] <✦[rp] ceph> r we sitting here in silence

[22:10:51] <✦[rp] Ollie> silence is nice okay

[22:13:04] <✦[rp] ceph> my pronouns r your/dad

[The familiar hateful banter seems to make both of them more comfortable again with each other’s presence. Ollie rubs their face, their cheeks have grown flush from all of the alcohol. A warm sensation burns in their chest and in their stomach.]

[22:12:53] <✦[rp] Ollie> why am i. here again

[22:14:36] <✦[rp] Ollie> UGHGHGHGHHHH

[And then face plants into the table.]

[22:15:20] <✦[rp] ceph> u look depressed like that

[Ollie reaches up from where they lay on the table making a grabby hand motion.]

[22:15:36] <✦[rp] Ollie> give me more vodka

[They sit up suddenly.]

[Ceph rolls their eyes, and they both head down to the bar together. Ceph walks behind the counter, grabbing Ollie more drinks.]

[22:21:30] <✦[rp] Ollie> YAY thanks

[22:23:12] <✦[rp] ceph> ok iv done a very responsible thing

[Ollie sips happily on his fruit punch.]

[22:23:17] <✦[rp] Ollie> yes

[Ceph leans on their elbows and watches Ollie across the bar.]

[Ceph grabs their own drink from behind the bar and sets it on the counter.]

[Ollie and Ceph set up the chess board on a smaller table near a window. Ceph teaches Ollie to play as the snow accumulates outside. Of course, Ceph wins again and again as the two play into the night…]
