i calld shiro dad

i mean we were getting attacked and i was freaked out but it still happened

idk i just spent the past week hiding from these hungry bastards not knowing where my friends or anyone else were not eating, sleeping or even getting a damn shower

maybe im still exhausted or something but right now id rather think i have famil here than being stuck in this hell alne

[openminded]

You do have family here, sweetheart. And I know things are very strange with Shiro right now, but I also know he cares about you and your brother very much.

Besides, if he makes a huge deal about you calling him 'Dad,' I'll just kick him or something. Might not change much, but it'll give him a small bit of what he'd deserve for that!

[keepsthefire]

he was a little more worried about the zombie that was trying to chew on us so he didnt say anything but

... thanks

im guessing if youre all worried about me you managed to get out of reverything okay?

[openminded]

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm worried about you and Yukio more than myself right now. I can't get a hold of Yukio ...

... There's probably something else you should know, though.

[keepsthefire]

the techs took him...

idk if hes gonna come back

maybe its better if he doesnt


what is it?

1/2 (she pressed send too soon in her freakout)

[openminded]

... Are the techs going do to anything to him??? What if they're torturing him or something?! Rin, maybe we should try to fi

2/2

[openminded]

[ and then, instead of finishing her freakout ... ]

... Shiro is dead.

[keepsthefire]

[Wow what the hell just happened...]

what he

fuck

fuckfuckfuck me

he got bit he got fucking bit and was hiding it from me goddamnit

[openminded]

Sweetheart, don't blame yourself! Shiro's always like that, always prioritizing others over himself. He was going to hide it from you anyway.

He'll be back, though. He will be. You can kick his ass for it when he's back.

[keepsthefire]

oh im gonna kick his ass for that

he saved my ass from that zombie and got bit for it!!!



also yukio will be fine when the techs nab people they never do anything to them they just toss them back after a week or whatever

[openminded]

You're free to kick his ass. I won't stop you. I'll stand by and look the other way and just let you do your thing.


Well, you would know better than I would about that, but I'm still going to check and make sure he's got all his limbs and a still-beating heart when he gets back, mark my words!!

[keepsthefire]

feel free im gonna be making sure of that too

hopefully hes actually able to find us since we had to leave the house...

[openminded]

Well, you've said it yourself. Yukio's smart. I'm sure he'll find a way.

Is everyone else in the household safe, too?

[keepsthefire]

i got separated from anna...

but i found kohaku and armin

ichigo moved out a while ago though so hes got his own strays to worry about

[openminded]

I really hope Anna is all right ... I'm glad you found Kohaku and Armin, though. And I'm hoping Ichigo and his band of merry men are all right as well.

I've never met them, but if they're your friends then I'm sure they're wonderful.

[keepsthefire]

you kinda met them though you were pretty drunk

then again we all were...

[openminded]

Oh, I did?

.... I must have been REALLY drunk. I barely remember a thing from that night! I kinda remember you carrying me into the kitchen, though. That happened before I had a drink, right?

[keepsthefire]

yeah it did

everyone was there but there was also a lot of alcohol

[openminded]

Where did you kids get all that alcohol, anyway?

[keepsthefire]

ichigo's friend scored it at foodland over a couple of runs

[openminded]

That sounds fortunate. Really fortunate. If that ever happens again I totally want an invite.

[ Yuri Egin. Biggest kid. ]

[keepsthefire]

do you really wanna get that hungover again?

i had to play mommy to everyone that was still on the floor the next morning and make sure you al drank water and didn't get sick

[openminded]

Totally worth the hangover. We all need to just get drunk off our asses every so often. Especially in this place.

Or at the least, we need to drink enough to have a good time.

[keepsthefire]

... youre encouraging your son to drink

i cant tell if that makes you the worst mom ever or the best mom ever

[openminded]

Things might be a little different if we weren't in a murder box.

And if I were actually alive.
