You finally set off from the Bed & Breakfast with full tummies and high spirits. It's well into the mid afternoon, and you have a lot of ground to cover before the next landmark. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be possible for you sorry sons of bitches to make it there before sundown. On your way down the beaten path, you come across a dairy farmer's caravan of cheesy goods. They seem nice and homely enough, maybe they'll be willing to help you stragglers along the way.

...Situationally.

[ i'm more interested in being "good Alpha," which doesn't always coincide with "good person." ]

I've been arrested a few times in the last year. Changes your perspective on trust a little.

[fairyvagina]

Still.

[you're not like hook. we wont even go there, that kid is rotten bananas]

[thisbites]

[ snorts. ]

So what you're saying is, essentially, "you've got a good score, don't screw it up now" ?

[fairyvagina]

Basically, and believe me you'd have to really have to try to screw that up.

[thisbites]

[ or go berserk on the full moon and eat one of you. ]

[ blows on his hands to warm them before sticking them into his pockets. ]

Not to change the subject away from my track record, but are we seriously going north? In winter?

[fairyvagina]

[well i thought that was a cliche]

[she's been a scrunched stance for like the past ten minutes. cold as fuck]

Well, we're not goin' there for a vacation. I figured we sorta have to.

[thisbites]

[ it is a cliche. i'm better than that. ]

We could detour. For a month or so. Spring's not that far off.

[ if you start shivering like a chihuahua i am coming over to that side of the cart. ]

[fairyvagina]

[she's from the south. bitter dry winter isn't something she's used to so yeah. it's gonna start soon, ready the countdown]

[meanwhile keeps her hands pinned in between her legs to keep them warm]

Ever notice it kinda depends on where we are. The weather here is pretty bipolar enough as it is, it probably doesn't even matter what month let alone where we're goin'.

[thisbites]

I wish I understood the geography a little better. There has to be some kind of predictability.

[ i mean we still have a moon, looks like the normal moon. same thing for the sun. ]

[fairyvagina]

[stiffens up at the slightest gust of wind]

Yeah...but hasn't this place already proven not to be? Apart from wantin' to screw us over...

[thisbites]

Isn't that its own kind of predictability? Whatever would make the most sense, just prepare for the opposite of that to happen.

[ kind of winces at how her skinny body is starting to seize up like that. ]

[fairyvagina]

Mind skippin' ahead and sharin' the wealth? I know you're like a livin' space blanket, come here.

[thisbites]

[ ...okay so you heard my idea. should've expected that. ]

[ rolls his eyes like it's a big problem for him anyway and hauls himself through rows of cheese to get to where she's sitting. it's a lot of shuffling but winds up tucking her between his knees and dragging her into his jacket. ]
