blood and thunder

[pm] You've got quite a lot of interesting lawn item issues. Gnomes and flamingos? Are the flamingos dangerous too?

[...] Alright.

It's a weak argument if someone wants to blame me for nature being nature. It's always been cruel and deadly.

But it stayed on his mind so much that he decided to go run the route himself. When he reached the area where he thought she went off course, he stopped his run to look around and look around. Maybe see if something grabbed his eye. Most of the earth was beaten with hiking boots and tennis shoes--nothing atypical for the trail. He knew it was a long shot investigating so long after the fact, but he still searched for ... he wasn't sure what he was searching for. A flash of reflected sunlight drew his attention towards a knife, lodged into the mud with only the tip of its blade poking out. Another glance around and he found another knife partially buried in the mud. Could just be some random knives. They didn't necessarily mean anything.

He stood back up and went back to look at Eve's strava post. He looked around to try to find the exact path. Off to one side, in the direction he thought she ran, he noticed a couple young trees had been toppled down into the earth. He followed the path, or whatever was left of it for him to track. Too much weather and rain had washed away most of what may have been here. The trail ran cold, so he pulled out his phone and guesstimated which direction to go.

Tree's nose was practically planted to the ground as she sniffed out something that interested her. He followed after her, while still scanning the area for anything that caught his eye. Not too far ahead of him, Tree let out her loud hound dog bark, alerting him that she found something. (Probably a squirrel, knowing her.) He found her sniffing at a tree. He didn't immediately see anything at first until the stench hit his nose. He crinkled his face and looked at the tree more closely. He spotted claw marks along the opening into the tree, as if something was trying to rip it open to get inside. He ducked his head inside the tree, and the smell of weeks old blood clinging to the bark overwhelmed him. He covered his nose with his hand as he snapped a few photos of the inside of the tree and also a few photos of the marks on the outside of the tree. He followed a similar path back to the main trail. He took photos of the two knives before grabbing them and taking them with him.

Not much is.

LOL! I hope you know I'm picturing a tiny mini you instead of an actual kid while talking about this. It makes it cuter, I think. Maybe one day, you never know! [user has a moment where she wonders if saying rawdogging would be insulting to Daniel's partner, she scraps the thought] I was always more into the idea of being a cool auntie. Unfort, none of my 4 (!) siblings wanna make me happy, I guess :/ And then being like, solid with Regan finally made me consider them for myself. But we already agreed that it's not happening.

OOOH! Wait, in the words of my queen Celine, it's all coming back to me now. This was Clem's masterpiece, you're so right. I love that gal. She's a terrible runner, but still agreed to come with me to find the Wienermobile. That's a real friend right there. Sadly no Wienermobiles were caught. But #wemove. But yup, that has all the vibes of a Worm Row special. There's a mime motel, btw. Also in Worm Row, so... be careful. Or Are you seriously not interested or just like playing it sa

Oh god. Sure, just imagine some weird mini version of me. Doubt a kid would have a mustache, but why not. They'd probably end up similar enough to me anyway. [...] Yeah, maybe. I don't think Talia I don't know if Talia wants It's probably for the best that I don't bring a kid into this world [User has a sudden realization that he'll never be an uncle. Unless Talia reconnects with one of her siblings or something.] You'd think with four siblings that at least one of them would have a kid. They better hurry up, just for you. I could see you as a cool aunt. And that makes sense. Having that sort of conversation with Regan and figuring it out. What made y'all decide against kids?

Wienermobile? She mentioned something about that to me. But I can't keep up with any of that stuff. Are you aware that she's a shifter A mime motel ... I hate that. That's stupid. What is with all these mimes in this town?
