Season: 3

[Dan and Punk grow closer to their destination. The sun has set behind the horizon, painting hues of orange and pink across the cold indigo sky. The cold has begun to set in, but a small house in the distance has a chimney billowing with smoke.]

[15:18:53] <?[rp] Punk> uh probably its pretty late

[15:19:34] <?[rp] DAN> the last time i knocked on a door it was way more stressful than this! ahha

[Ceph’s dreams, filled with pale imitations of the faces and bodies of the people they’ve been thinking about more than they should, dissipated as they awake to the sound of knocking at the door. Ceph sits up.]

[16:19:54] <?[rp] DAN> forgot about him for a minute

[Dan shakes his head. He thinks about all of the shit that’s been going on in Corroded.]

[16:20:13] <?[rp] ceph> im convinced he was plotting a coup btw

[16:20:39] <?[rp] DAN> a few of my faction members have striked up some brilliant plan to stop the sculk and of course finch is at the center of it

[16:20:53] <?[rp] ceph> oh ?

[16:21:14] <?[rp] Punk> i asked them and they just fuckin blew me off . not in the fun way

[16:21:27] <?[rp] DAN> honestly. i think its a horrible fucking idea.

[16:21:59] <?[rp] ceph> ah whats new. horrible plans everywhere

[16:21:44] <?[rp] DAN> they want to bring the void back to this world. to. yknow. eat the sculk. and then the rest of us with it probably

[They all pile onto Ceph’s bed, though Dan takes up most of it. Ceph kisses both of them, and the heat of all of it seems to drive away the cold for a little while. Punk kisses Dan as Ceph takes another hit from their joint, before shotgunning the smoke into a kiss with Dan. They all do this for a while, smoking and making out until all of them are pleasantly high and a tangled mess on top of the furs.]

[16:37:46] <?[rp] ceph> so.. long trek back.
