NPC Inbox: Fear

[lingeringfear]

[Fear's inbox message is simply a crackling of static, with vague thumps here and there. It goes on for about thirty seconds before cutting short, like the sound was snapped off.]

[ 'Sup, you Fabio looking god. Rose hasn't interacted with Fear as much as the others, but finding songs about fear are actually kind of easy. She sticks with a personal favorite, something close to home but also to do about being scared, so.

Here goes nothing. ]

I am a man who walks alone. And when I'm walking a dark road at night or strolling through the park when the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange. A little anxious when it's dark. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark; I have a constant fear that something's always near. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark; I have a phobia that someone's always there.

Have you run your fingers down the wall and have you felt your neck skin crawl when you're searching for the light?Sometimes when you're scared to take a look at the corner of the room. You've sensed that something's watching you. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark; I have a constant fear that something's always near; Fear of the dark, fear of the dark. I have a phobia that someone's always there

[And this pops up on her phone not long after.]

Is that all?

text

[hasitsthorns]

That's it for the music, yeah.

But. Now that I have your attention!
What's your favorite color?

text

[lingeringfear]

Why do you want to know?

text

[hasitsthorns]

I guess I should have expected you to be suspicious
it's just for a thing that I'm doing

[ So specific. ]

A secret thing.
You don't have to tell me, of course, but if you don't I'm gonna assume a color and you might not like it
which would suck because I want ya'll to like it

[lingeringfear]

I don't care about surprises.

[hasitsthorns]

[ The hottest pink she can manage then, alright. ]

Not unless they're scary surprises, huh?
That's cool.
Just makes it more fun for me. Get to be creative.

[lingeringfear]

Only when they're used on other people.

I'd rather you didn't.

text

[hasitsthorns]

Right.
Well, I'll keep that in mind since I do love a good prank.
Not the same as genuine fear but fear is fear is fear, right?

See, there's a lot of things I'd rather you guys didn't do too.
So it seems fair that I'm gonna' do it anyway.

text

[lingeringfear]

Exactly.

You know that I could stop you.

text

[hasitsthorns]

You could.
But are you really going to waste the energy smiting me over a little fun surprise?

text

[lingeringfear]

Don't underestimate the effort I can put into being petty.

text

[hasitsthorns]

Guess I won't.
And I guess we'll see.
