Sparrow gets up and starts looking through some drawers for something.
"What are you looking for, Sparrow?" Chris asks.
"Reese puffs, Reese puffs, Reese puffs.” Cole mumbles, doin a little dance.
Sparrow makes a writing motion before returning to searching.
"I mean, I have pencils," Chris says. "Also, why that song in particular?"
"I have no clue but it's a bop.” Cole says.
Sparrow finds a paper and walks over to Chris.
Chris pulls out a pencil from his pocket and gives it to Sparrow. "Hello?"
Sparrow puts the paper on the wall for a flat surface and begins writing
"OK, hmm..." Chris says.
"Chris they can't speak.” Cole says.
"No, I know, but... they seem familiar." Chris says.
“Cause it’s Terminal.” Cole says.
"... say what?" Chris says.
“It is just Terminal but clean blooded and a cyborg.” Cole says.
"... but…Isn't he, like..."
“Supposed to be dead? Yeah."
Sparrow finishes writing and picks up a pillow from the sofa. he sets the pillow on the floor with the paper on top.
Cole walks over to the pillow and bends down to read the note.
It says, “we need to have a group therapy session every night in the living room, this is the therapy pillow, whoever has the therapy pillow gets help from everyone in the group and gets to pick who they pass it on to.”
“Nope fuck that, nope no.” Cole says.
Sparrow picks up the pillow and tosses it at Cole.
"HMM..." Chris says.
Cole catches it and grumbles. "I fucking hate this."
Sparrow smiles ear to ear.
“You’re a gremlin and I'm not going to say anything, fuck you.” Cole says.
"HMM..." Chris says.
Cole throws the pillow at Sparrow. “Fuck you"
"So this is straight up a pillow fight, OK." Chris says.
Sparrow holds the pillow and begins to make horrid noises. "ACACCAACCCCKCKCKCCKKKKK-” He throws it back.
Chris plugs his ears. "Lord, no."
"Wait hang on, I'm confused. Since when did Terminal encourage therapy?" Luna asks.
"I mean, we all need some form of therapy," Chris says.
“Luna catch.” Cole catches it and fucking beams it at Luna aiming to hit them in the face.
Luna dodges.
“Fuck.” Cole says.
"Nope." Luna says. "I don't need any therapy."
"Sure, mate." Chris says.
"I wanted to hit you with a pillow.” Cole says.
"Oh ok." Luna grabs the pillow and shoots it right back at Cole's face. "And yeah you're right Chris but like... this is Terminal we're talking about."
Cole catches it and throws it directly at Chris's face.
"Like he was completely against it previously." Luna says.
Score! Chris hits his head against the wall. "Ow!"
“Did not mean to throw it that hard.” Cole says.
"Also, no, dear, you reap what you sow." Chris throws the pillow-like one would a frisbee at Cole.
“This is fun.” Knight says.
Cole catches it and stares at Knight.
Luna sighs then disappears.
“Oh?” Knight says.
"Dodge, mate." Chris says.
Cole beams the pillow at Knight.
Knight dodges the pillow. “Ha, better luck next time.”
Sparrow looks annoyed as he picks up the paper and starts adding something.
Cole extends his hand to the pillow and it flies back to his hand. "Something wrong?"
Sparrow then sets the paper back down.
“Oh my god, It’s the mythical pillow of theropia!” Knight exclaims.
Cole bends down to read the paper.
“It’s said whomever wields it has to get therapy.” Knight says.
Sparrow had added, “you have to say something before you can pass it on.”
As fast as they left, Luna and Spider appear.
“Dammit-” Cole says.
"Cole?" Chris asks.
"Oh for god's sake." Luna reads the paper.
“Gotta do it mate.” Knight says.
“So I hear this place has gone to Hell.” Spider jokes.
"When isn't it?" Luna asks.
"Eh, it's always been." Chris says.
Sparrow folds his arms and waits.
Cole sits down and sighs. "Hi I'm cole and I'm an alcoholic, fuck wrong thing uhm."
“Hi, Cole.” Knight says.
“Fuck off.” Cole says.
Chris whispers. "Throw it at Spider, it'll be funny."
Luna nods.
"I'm Cole and I have suppressed internal rage from Joshua making me a cyborg anyways, think fast." Cole throws the pillow at Spider.
Spider ducks. "Twat."
Luna sighs.
Cole flicks his wrist and the pillow flies at the back of Spider's head as Cole smirks.
Spider flips him off as it hits her. "Now here's a question, does that count? Cause I'm not holding it.”
Luna claps and the pillow appears on Spider's lap. "You are now haha"
“Now you are." Cole says.
"Yep." Chris says.
“Cunts, the lot of yous.” Spider sighs.
Sparrows sighs and sits down.
Cole just smiles.
Luna vibes.
Spider rolls her eyes. "So what am I supposed to say?"
“Well, your feelings, I reckon." Chris says.
Luna nods. "Just play along Spider, for Term's sake."
“Well I'm not feeling anything at the moment so.. kinda sunk there.” Spider says.
“Surrrre-” Cole says.
"Any stressors?" Luna asks.
Spider laughs. "Well I'm human again"
"Anything else?" Luna asks.
Spider mutters something. "Well still feeling out of it, and as I'm sure will come as a shock to nobody still struggling to sleep and a few other things.” She chuckles grimly.
"I'm sorry Spider. I can't imagine not sleeping." Luna says. "Well whenever you're ready to pass the pillow on, go for it."
Spider tosses it at Cole.
Cole catches it. “Why back to me? I already said my thing."
“You can always say more and also, revenge.” Spider says.
“Bitch, anyways one of my stressors is that the voices have been strangely quiet and I'm worried at what they are going to do to me.”
"That's terrible Cole." Luna says.
"Eh, what am I going to do about it?" Cole shrugs.
"I'm not sure either. Sorry dude." Luna says.
"Eh, it's fine.” Cole throws the pillow at Chris.
Chris catches the pillow. "OK, where do we start?"
Sparrow shrugs.
Cole shrugs.
Luna shrugs.
"Well, let's start with that, I guess..." Chris says. "It's been rather quiet around here, which makes me worried because it's usually never this calm. And it makes me worried because it leaves me wondering whether it's only setting up for a raging storm that we're gonna be swept away in." Chris pauses. "Are there any follow-ups?"
"I’ll drink to that,” Cole says.
“God same here,” Spider says.
Sparrow nods
“Yep.” Knight says.
"I admit, the intense silence, especially during the full moon last night, has me extremely worried." Luna says.
"Agreed, this new DATRRS thing as well is odd shall we say.” Spider says.
"Oh, to make this a true, like, therapy night, erm... I'm gonna call the others." Chris throws the pillow at Luna.
"Right. Very well. I am a depressed, lonely person who feels underappreciated often. Always feels like despite living with everyone, and don't get me wrong, I love you guys a lot, it feels like I'm just left alone or unable to help in a task. I recognize that we all have our strengths, but there are times when I wonder what mine are. I'm sorry for going so long." Luna exhales. A couple of tears accidentally fall out. "Any followups?"
"Not to invalidate your feelings or anything but that's a load of bollocks, I mean I'd of been sunk without you these past few days and you're decent in combat, plus you care about everyone here which I would say makes you incredibly valuable to the group.” Spider says.
“What Spider said but with a little spice.” Cole says.
“Yeah.” Knight says.
Sparrow nods.
Luna sighs then throws the pillow to Knight. "Thanks y'all"
Knight dodges the pillow.
“Take the pillow you little shit.” Cole says.
"Oh come on." Luna says.
“What? You guys are more important than me. Makes more sense for you guys to go for more turns than for me to have one.” Knight says.
"No, the fuck we are not, take the goddamn pillow.” Cole says.
"And that's exactly why you need this mate.” Spider says.
“Ah well, I can’t reach the pillow so.” Knight says.
Sparrow grumbles.
“Fiiiine.” Knight grabs the pillow. “So what am I supposed to talk about Hmm?”
"Well, how about you start with why you think we're more important than you?" Spider offers.
“Let’s see: All I really do around here is heal, cook, and fight. I’m basically an NPC with ~spice~. Compared to you guys, I’m just not that important.” Knight says. “Anytime I try to, I don’t know, help with something it tends to end in failure.”
“Ah yes because healing, cooking, and fighting are very useless skills, silly me.” Spider snarks.
"That's... no. We work as a team, and so comparing our importance in the group feels like undermining the idea of working as a team." Chris says.
Luna stays silent. "Just know that I appreciate you a lot. Cooking, cleaning, and fighting is insane and we'd be in a lot of trouble without ya."
Chris nods grimly.
“I guess so,” Knight says.
“There's no guessing about it.” Spider sighs. "I mean look at it this way, you're the reason those of us who can get hurt aren't dead or amputees so I'd say that makes you extremely valuable.”
“Yeah.” Knight says.
Cole nods.
Sparrow nods.
Chris nods.
Luna nods.
“Alright,” Knight lazily tosses the pillow at a random person. “Thank you for your time.”
Luna catches it somehow. Might as well get it in the open. "I feel really guilty for not stopping Spider from hurting Sparrow a few days ago. I never wanted to take something back so badly before, and I just wanted to um... apologize to the house for it. None of this should've went that far and next time I will take a stand to stop something and not sit frozen in fear." Luna pauses. "And um I'm sorry for not stopping her Sparrow."
Spider stays quiet eyes locked on the floor as she moves a hand into her pocket.
Cole says nothing as he takes a deep breath.
Chris nods. "Apology... well... I accept. How about the others, Sparrow especially?"
Sparrow nods but seems uncomfortable.
"Um... right. Sorry for making things awkward." Luna says.
“It’s okay.” Knight says.
"Anyone erm... want the pillow? Not sure who wants to go next..." Luna's eyes close as she concentrates.
Spider expression goes neutral and it looks like she's fiddling with something in the pocket.
Luna throws it randomly.
It smacks Cole in the face and he sighs. “To be honest, I have been feeling more like a fucking idiot recently and that is no one's fault but mine and I have been feeling like I'm going backward mentally so eh I don't know what to do with that and I'm stressed all the time because my stupid ass made it my mission to protect all of you and now I'm stressed all the time.” Cole says.
"I mean asides from...one or two people everyone here can take of themselves, so just focus on the ones who need it until you find a way to deal with the stress."
“Cool." Cole throws the pillow in the center and takes a deep breath.
Spider grabs the pillow gritting her teeth. She takes a minute before speaking. "So in the spirit of trying to improve myself, I'm gonna be brutally honest ok?"
Sparrow nods.
Chris nods encouragingly.
Cole nods.
"Go for it." Luna says.
"I'm feeling... conflicted and there's some..let's just say nasty habits vying for my attention right now." Spider chuckles grimly. “And I'm both liking and hating being human again.”
Sparrow stays quiet.
Cole is quiet.
Luna is silent, listening to Spider's words.
"I mean I'm pretty much useless now and it's both terrifying and amazing to have my mortality back.." Spider trails off and takes a deep breath before continuing. "You know I never realized how annoying hearts are, just feeling every beat I swear it's driving me insane.” She chuckles.
Cole stares at the floor and mumbles. "I can turn my heart off,”
“Anyways that's my lot, for now, any follow-ups or however it is you phrase it?" Spider asks.
Cole shakes his head.
Luna stays silent, mostly because she's unsure what to say. "Anyone else?"
Spider slides the pillow back into the center gritting her teeth again.
Cole scoots back over to a wall near Chris and sits against a wall and leans his head against it.
“So on that note, I'm guessing we're done here?" Spider asks.
"I guess so." Luna says. "Ready to head back Spider?"
"I'm gonna stay here tonight, it's probably safer.” Spider chuckles humourlessly.
Luna smiles. "Alright, I gotchu. Um here." Luna claps her hands. A blanket and pillow appear in front of Spider. "At least be comfy while ya sleep alright?" And with that, Luna climbs up to the top bunk. As soon as her head hits the pillow, she's out.
"Good night, y'all." Chris says.
Cole leans his head against Chris's shoulder and falls asleep quickly.
Spider sighs and picks up the pillow and blanket heading over to the wall furthest away from everyone and sitting against it placing the stuff down next to her. "Night.”
