Oleander is laid in bed, sleeping on their back. Their sword is near them on the floor.
They are asleep for now. There's some rustling at the window. Not much besides that yet.
“Honk shoo honk shoo.”
The rustling is getting louder.
“HONK SHOO HONK SHOO”
The window opens slightly. Someone tries to slide in not trying to make a lot of noise, but fucks up here and there. They’re carrying a backpack with a walkie-talkie attached to it.
{"Hey slut, you in yet? Over."}
"Can you shut up? I'm almost in, jeez. Over."
Oleander snaps up, staring Otto in the eyes. "Oh hello there."
{"Woah dude, calm down. Listen, we don't even know if thats gonna work. Last time we even saw her leave it was a whiiiile ago."}
"SO WHY THE FUCK DID YOU EVEN SEND ME HERE?! I'M FUCKING BUSY DUDE-"
Around this time is when Otto notices Oleander. "...uhhh... hi?"
Oleander leans down to grab his sword. "I’m assuming you dont live here?"
Otto starts to go through his backpack. "I-I'm just looking for someone."
"Who?" They grab it but dont hold it up to Otto yet.
"Some TV head bitch. Killed our friend a while ago." He's still going through the backpack. "Someone said they saw 'er leaving this house."
"Lust demon?" They ask, moving to get out of bed.
He backs up. "Yeah yeah, I think so- I mean..." He starts to mumble. "That's what Devon kept saying..."
"I see." He stands up but doesnt hold the sword towards Otto, just kind of holding it. "Ill go with you to ask the people who live here. Dont even think about trying to pull anything though." They say, their tone serious and stern.
"H-Hey man, I wasn't planning on doing anything- I don't even carry a weapon!" Otto says, clearly putting whatever he was looking for back in the backpack.
"Alright. Im just following to make sure." They motion to the door. "Go ahead."
"Y-You can go first! I kinda, uh, need to talk to my supervisor before anything. Plus, uh... It would be weird for me to just... Show up? Hah... ha..."
"Yeah, i’td be weird for you to break in but here we are." They raise an eyebrow. "I can wait while you talk to your supervisor."
He seems a bit confused but... Eh. They're not looking for them. "Alright then..."
He grabs the walkie-talkie.
"Oi, queer, you still on? Over."
{"OTTO, YOU MANWHORE, YOU WENT QUIET FOR LIKE, WHAT, 10 MINUTES?! THAT SHIT FELT LIKE A LIFETIME-"}
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Got caught, fuck it, here we are. That's life. I'm alright though, and uhh.. this person offered to help kinda? Over."
{"...huh. I mean, if it helps, I guess? Just try to get anything dude. And for fucks sake, don't die. Over."}
"Will try. Cya in a few."
Otto stares at Oleander while walking towards the door. "Let's get this over with, I'm already in some type of trouble anyways."
Oleander nods. "Alright. Im not gonna kill you though. Not unless you turn out to be an eldritch monster trying to kill the others or some stupid shit like that"
"Bruh, I'm just a drug dealer." He walks through the door to the hallway.
"Damn. Never met one of those before." Oleander follows.
He stops right after going out the door. "...you never met a dealer before? Hah."
Oleander shakes their head. "Nope"
"Personally, always been around them. At this point I'm getting raised by some!" He chuckles.
"Huh. Sounds interesting I suppose."
"That's the enaturalistic life. Run around, fuck around, light ciggies up and fuck up your lungs."
"I’m surprised you’re alive then. Considering it’s probably hard to breathe."
"Ehhh... Personally, not a big cig fan. I just do shrooms and LSD."
"I don’t know the difference really."
"Typically shrooms can be found by just foraging in certain areas, and there's a couple of legal loopholes related to them. If they're natural, can they really be classified as a drug? Now, LSD is different in the sense that it does need to be made by someone, so it is mostly illegal all the time. To put it shortly, shrooms are natural, LSD is synthetic."
Oleander nods. "I see."
"Oh, and if you ever want some..." He pulls out a little card from his backpack with a frequency on it. "Ask for the berry tea, best thing we sell really. 20 bucks or a nice rock."
Oleander takes it and tilt their head. "... all right."
After all this talking, Otto slowly inches towards the living room. He's scared.
Oleander follows.
Otto slowly inches into the room, trying to not be seen. Unfortunately for him, Kade notices him enter and blinks before looking to the two drunken gay guys in the room. Otto realizes this and is fucking terrified.
"You look edible." Kade says.
"He broke in" Oleander adds.
Otto IMMEDIATELY gets on his knees and starts to beg for mercy. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR I AM BUT A WEE LITTLE LAD WHO WAS MERELY LOOKING FIR ANOTHER CHIMNEY TO SWEEP GOV'NAH-"
"That's a thing that ca-" Kade sees this then immediately starts CACKLING! "WHAT THE FUCK????"
"WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS DON'T FUCKING VORE ME I WANT SOMEONE TO SNORT MY ASHES LIKE ITS COKE ONCE I'M DEAD-"
OLEANDER IS CACKLING TOO
Kade WHEEZES. "IT WAS A JOKE."
Otto blinks. "Oh. Ohoho, it was a joooke... Y-Yeah, I totally knew. Mhm."
Kade starts to lean against the wall, chuckling more, "Never a dull moment in here holy shit. Okay. Okay. What're you here for?"
"Oh, uh, yeah, uhhh..." He goes through his backpack and grabs an extremely DIY and badly made wanted poster for Ivy. "Looking for this bitch. She killed a friend of mine."
"Ohhh the computer girl that was on drugs I think. Last I saw her was in the woods. I can see if anyone else knows?"
"I'd appreciate it. If you see her, uh..." He grabs a pen from his backpack and writes the same frequency he gave to Oleander down. "Just ask to talk to Sarah or Lud. They'll direct it to me."
He looks over it. "Will do."
"...and if you ever want to go on a banger acid trip you can just ask for what we're selling that day-"
Oleander zones back in, "Insane"
"I feel like that'd be a very bad idea for me to do but y'know what? I can see about that too.” Kade says
“What?” Otto says to Oleander.
"It’s insane." Oleander replies.
"What is?”
"Well, uh... That helps me out a lot. I'll get going then...?"
"Go ahead. Try not to break in again next time! The guard dogs were drunk tonight." Kade says as Otto begins to leave.
"...okay then-" He starts to head towards the front door. "May Gaia bless your next quarter-moon!" And with that Otto leaves.
"I have no idea what that means" Kade says.
Oleander waves. "Bye" Then they look at Kade, still holding their sword. "Sup."
"How are you doing tiny one?"
They blush slightly. "Tiny one???"
"Small." Kade seems smug.
"I’m not that small!" They look themselves over.
