#1 ([personal profile] zib) wrote in [community profile] deercountry2022-04-10 07:08 pm

you're never coming back

Who: Zib and maybe even you! This is an OPEN log for everyone who wants to get involved /o/
What: Mostly studying butterflies and skeletons, and then beast hood shenanigans thanks to the portals from the event
When: During the month of April
Where: Tends to hang out around Disaster House, but the prompt with beast corruption will be throughout Trench, see inside for further details

Content Warnings: despair/potential suicidal ideation because of the butterflies, skeletons(???), paranoia/hallucinations, obsession, insect/alien body horror per beast hood corruption, parental neglect, will add more if they come up



[So Zib has been... well, not well. He's been showing some signs of undergoing the corruption that others have here and there in the form of the extra green arms he's been walking around with lately, and with some strange lines that have formed against his face, arms, anywhere that he allows any skin to expose that take the shape of something reminiscent of spider-web cracks.

Like as if his body is merely a cocoon and something is bursting at the seams waiting for the right type to hatch.

But, thankfully, Zib had started out being at least semi-aware that he was very much stretching the definition of being "okay" in any way, shape, or form. He's told a few people about it rather than hiding it, at least, and has tried to find things that he actually enjoys to see if it helps any or at least serves as a nice enough distraction for now.

However... it seems that April has other ideas.]


[ooc: Toplevels with what's happening with Zib will be below with their own headers! They're all mostly related to the event, but if you want a closed thread with Zib that falls outside of the prompts offered, hit me up and I'll make it happen! I've also got Zib's plotting stuff for the event over here that you're free to go to for info or hit me up on as well!]

[ Just like with Zib's sister, this.. isn't quite expected on Ange's part. Even him ruining it at the end there doesn't really matter, because he's already saying so much more than Ange expected him to say. Actually saying that he's proud of the boy.

Even if his dad doesn't exactly seem ideal, it does seem like he's at least got this part of parenthood down. Enough so that Ange can't help but feel a little jealous. She'd give the world just to have her father or her mother - her actual mother, rather than her aunt - tell her that they're proud of her, especially with how much she's changed too compared to when they last saw her.

It's a whole mess of jumbled up feelings, and it makes Ange go quiet. She wouldn't want to interrupt right now anyway, not when the guy just said something that could be so important to Zib.

Instead she just glances at Zib, like she's trying to gauge his reaction here. ]

.. all the time.

[ It's hard to see whether or not Ange realises the question is also directed at her. She's still staring at Zib as she's thinking for a moment. Mostly since she wasn't really surprised by what he brought up at first, but this part of the conversation is a little more thought-provoking to her.

She didn't think this was really something Zib was concerned with. Maybe she's still learning a little bit more about the boy each day. ]


We're pretty much in constant danger here. Dangerous animals, dangerous people.. even regular people can end up twisted into being little more than lethal monsters under the wrong circumstances in this place.

[ Maybe it'd be a good thing for the man to just truly realise in what sort of dangerous situation his son is stuck here anyway, she thinks. ]

It'd be hard to live here without knowing how to defend yourself.
