The therapy pillow awaits. Luna sighs and gets up. She grabs the therapy pillow and hands it to Cole. "Here ya go." It just lays on Cole.
"I have just been working on my halo armor and new watches and trying to improve my armor and myself, but there's just nothing and my mind spirals until I fall asleep. There, happy now?" Cole huffs.
Luna continues to monch on pocky. The box is seemingly endless, what the hell? "I feel it Cole. Ya do what you need to do and then... there's nothing else. I'm sorry. You're doing a really awesome job and I'm sure everyone here is glad for ya."
"Thanks I guess," Cole puts the pillow in the middle of the room and just kinda lays there like a wolf.
Luna grabs it. Might as well, "So the silence as of late has been driving me nuts. Feels like I wake up, do maybe one thing, then go back to sleep. Is this what depression's like? Past that, things are going... alright. Can't really complain, but there's this odd sense of dread that I cannot escape and I fucking hate it."
"Probably doesn't help that I put foam in the walls, but I feel that, Luna, and trust me, you're no less of a person because of how much you sleep or how much you do," Cole says.
"Honestly, the foam in the walls is an amazing improvement. I've never been able to sleep well due to the 'always on' nature of my hearing, but it forcefully being taken away from me within the house has been incredible. Thank you for allowing me some peace of mind."
Cole perks up slightly and smiles a little, "Not a problem Luna, I'm glad I could help." There's a knock at the door.
"You help quite a bit Cole, even if I don't show it all the time, just know that I... really appreciate you. You're a damn good friend." Luna puts the pillow back down and opens the door. Is it Fenrir? Is it an Egg? Who knows?
"Thank you, Luna!" Cole is smiling all the way now, and his tail is wagging slowly.
Lock is standing in the doorway with a skeleton hoodie and a firepoker strapped to her back, "Ayo what's t- oh wait, you're not my neighbors!"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Luna says, "Guys you might wanna... get over here." Sparrow leans over to glance at the door.
Cole's eyes light up as he sees Lock and he fucking leaps from where he is laying down, jumping on Lock! He seems very excited. Lock crumbles.
Luna fuckin dodges Cole's huge figure, "Jeez dude. Also... are you Lock?"
"I missed you so much! And I have so many things to show you! And I'm so glad you're alive!" Cole is so happy and excited, his tail is going wild.
Harmonia gets up, walking over, "Wait- who?"
"It's Lock!" Luna says.
"Oh! Cool!!"
Lock is on the ground, "Ow."
"Sorry! I'm just very happy and excited" Cole gets off of Lock and sits down in the middle of the room with his tail still going wild.
She pulls herself up and dusts herself off, "You're more of an animal than anyone I know, jesus."
Harmonia smiles and waves at Lock, "Yo."
"Yo," Lock waves back.
"Sup Lock. Been a while." Luna says.
Knight walks in and, “Oh.”
"So I take it I took a wrong turn somewhere?" Lock asks.
“What’s uh, what’s happening here?” Knight asks.
"I'd say you took the wrong turn at Alberquerque." Luna chuckles.
Lock looks down to the side, "What's alberquerque?"
“A city.” Knight says.
"In New Mexico. It's a looney tunes joke," Luna smiles.
Cole giggles, "I get that reference!"
"Oh, New Mexico's largest city?" Lock asks.
Luna pulls out her phone and checks... "Huh, yes it is."
"So, going to invite me in or what?" Lock asks.
"So um... come on in Lock. It's kinda chilly out there." Luna says, as Lock steps in.
“So how’ve ya been Lock?” Knight asks. Luna closes the door then returns to the top bunk. Cole is still staring at Lock with a huge smile, his tail going so fast it's almost a blur.
"I've been ok, can't complain," Lock has a calm smile.
“Want anything to drink?” Knight asks.
"Anything you have really," Lock sits down with her legs crossed on the ground. Knight grabs a Ice Cold can of White Monster out of his bag and hands it to Lock. Cole is faintly mumbling about how much they missed Lock and how much they have to show them, but it's all kinda mashed together because he is so excited.
"Thank you," she takes the monster, "And uh Cole? You good?"
Cole nods excitedly, "Mhm mhm! Happy as can be!"
"That's great," Lock gives him a pat on the head as she goes to read the label of the drink.
"It's really nice seeing ya again, Lock. Been what? Six years since the carnival? Still got the plushie too." Luna shows her the foxy plushie she gave her.
"About that long, yeah, havent seen that carnival in a while either"
Luna takes a sip of her drink. "I see. So how's life treating ya?"
"Life is going great, getting things figured out," Lock keeps reading the label.
"Ah right on right on."
"I dont know if I can have this," she keeps staring at the label. Cole is clearly thinking about something, his eyes darting between his pant pocket and Lock.
“Oh shit, I’m sorry. I can get you something else?” Knight says.
"You don't have to, I just said sure cuz, well, I don't know," she sets the drink down on the ground, "Funny social conventions hehe.."
“Okay,” Knight smiles.
