this is getting nowhere im sorry to everyone reading i took waaaay too long to update.
"Strange isn't it?" Sickness started, "That we all have that connection to Johnny boy."
They had been walking for two days now, and any time there was awkward silence Sickness had always tried to struck up a conversation. It was a thing with her that the doughboys got irritated with. However, short answers seemed to work to shut her down.
"What's strange is that you dont seem to shut up, is silence really that hard?" Dboy hissed at her.
Sickness growled. She was talkative but never thought of herself annoying.
"Actually," Eff prepped up," It is kinda interesting almost disgusting. But I don't think that our walls are down.'
"As if the walls could talk anymore." She responded.
"You knew about that?,
She looked away as if to ignore only noticing Reverend was falling behind. He was too busy fidgeting with his roach pendant that he didn't notice how slow he was going or that he was even bumping into things.
"Hey catch up!" Sickness barked at him.
Revered caught up, this was becoming a pattern for him. He couldn't keep up his pace with the rest of them. The cold winter storm had passed by and it was no longer snowing, there was a light fog throughout the forest and the rivers were thick with ice. It had felt like a long while since they didn't feel cold. More empty than cold. But regardless not feeling pain or discomfort they still had to watch out for their bodies. They had to be good to it.
The fire crackled in the lone night, Dboy sat by it and started chipping away at a stick he found. It will take a lot of time on foot just to get where he wanted to go, but even when he did reach Maine, he wondered what would happen with the others. He can live without Eff that he was certain and loved the silence of being alone, however if they all wanted to stay with him, what would he do?
Dboy sighed, he figured it would be tough killing all three of them but worth it to just be alone or rather be killed in the process. Besides, they all weren't meant for this world and it would be better if they were all dead. They had no owners of any kind, they were unhinged and beings of their own. How upsetting.
Breaking a skinned stick in half and throwing it in the flames in front of him, Dboy crossed his arms around his crouching knees. Reverend finally stopped busying himself with finding fire wood and sat down.
"It seems so weird yknow? How we all met each other?"
Dboy decided not to converse with such an abominable creature and didn't care for what he had to preach was far from his ears.
"I always wanted to be real, in some form it didnt matter which. But my time was cut very short i'm surprised i'm even here now alive and real. How do you think this all happened?"
He didn't look up from the fire he didn't say anything he just shrugged his shoulders and raised his brow. Thats when Eff jumped in from a nap, "What does that 'why' business even matter? We're here now!"
Screaming internally, Dboy had a feeling their conversing would get immediately annoying and disgusting. He huddled further away from Eff so they would not touch.
Reverend looked at him in a slightly confused way, "Well if you put it that way I'm sure ignorance is bliss but if we don't have some clue as to why we all came back now how would we know what the loophole was?"
Eff shrugged," We can think a little here. First it was Nailbunny then me and Dboy here, next I assume was Sickness because Nny ended up spreading it then I guess you. Although i'm not exactly sure how."
Humming softly in a sigh, Reverend looked up at the stars and crowding trees in the night and answered with a more toned down voice. "Y'see, when Nny was dating that girl, I was a gift to him. She figured I guess because he looked so skinny and hardly ever eaten in front of her it was kind of like a poke at his appearance which didn't make him upset surprisingly. Well not really, he loved her and didn't care if she made fun of him. At one point yknow, Nny was really interested in her and that's when I started to absorb those suppressed feelings because he didn't know how to handle them. But it all stopped once he pulled those knives at her. I swear, their desire could've been stronger I tell ya."
Eff followed along a little and picked up on how Reverend was born, "So after Nny died, then came back, you were born again to be his voice while at the time Dboy and I were silent after the Wall's dirty business. But why you and why not Nailbunny or nobody?"
"Yknow how dumb the boy was? He needed guidance of a new voice he hadn't heard in a long while, not since his parents were killed did he feel like another person. Of course he could deny himself any type of pleasure like a damn puritanical bastard he was, but could never eradicated the feelings existence. Either way I was silenced in the end." Reverend paused and looked into the fire again, "I think once I stopped talking to him thats when he threw me away and I woke up in the landfill."
Dboy couldn't help himself but to sigh loudly, the sun was creeping up on the horizon and the two of them were still talking. He stood up and walked to where Sickness was sleeping at and shook her up.
She groaned and rubbed her eyes, "What the hell now?" She whined
Sitting crossed legged in front of her, Dboy broke the question to her out of sudden curiosity, "Have you ever seen or heard weird things?"
She raised a brow and rubbed her neck, "No just you."
He knew he wasn't going to get much of an answer but he decided not to engage any further and got up and walked to a different spot to lay down on. Away from them.
If it came down to it he would much rather kill them and be killed by them so he wouldn't have to hear their many catty voices of narcissism. He thought of Nny and what he experienced with Devi, and how it all could've been avoided if he had ignored his feelings. Then there would be no other voices to be around.
Scratching the scar on his face, Dboy looked up to the dissipating stars as the morning twilight gave way. They were always so beautiful burning in the sky and even when there was no contentment in Dboy, he could always appreciated the beauty of the night sky.
Somewhere out someplace on top of a hill, the dark silhouette outlined a woman looking up at night with a telescope. Standing on her balcony, she witnessed the fire in the dark canvas of space and spied out planets most unattainable and sighed at the thought of descending planet by planet and through clouds of dreamy dust and gas. However, never could that ever be true.
