Hey there, stranger. Don't think I gotta explain the situation: you called, I didn't pick up. Leave me a message and maybe I'll get back to you.

You mean Shades? That's your momma being generous. He just got back into town so I bet he's all kinds of turned around

He did what now

he was in the house that i broke into to hide from the stupid clown and like
okay ig in hindsight it mighta been HIS house but he saw i wasn’t armed and totally harmless and he still didn’t put it away until he wanted to like

it was CREEPY

You feel safe having him in the house? Because you say the word and I'll talk to Ashe.

[ He isn't sure he totally understands what the clown business is about, but her discomfort is all the impetus he really needs. She says the word, and he'll kick this guy out himself. By force if need be. Because if Chloe thinks he's creepy, then...

... okay, so he might be going a little overboard. His eyes might be getting a little silver around the edges. This is all fine. ]

[ It takes her a minute to think about it, since having him kicked out isn’t the worst idea she’s heard. But it’s also winter and she wonders if he’d just end up back in that drafty old house again.

UuuUuUUuUUUUUGH CURSE HER STUPID BLEEDING HEART. ]

if mama trusts him, he’s probably fine



but he’s still a tool and i’m not gonna pretend to be nice

[almightythirst]

If you're sure. That offer won't expire so you get back to me the minute you feel any different.

Guess I should actually talk to the guy myself

[tagartist]

thanks, daddy, i'll keep it in mind

lmk if he's as much of a prick to everyone or just kids who break and enter

[almightythirst]

Roger that. I'll make you up a full report.
