deathcarded ☀️ noah czerny :
❛ some days i just feel more... ❜ he was hesitant to say it, a innate wish to be R E A L, B R E A T H I N G, ( alive ). those days came with friends, it came with a strength to pretend to be one in the same with the rest. ❛ what about you ? do you need to eat ? or does it all taste like dirt ? ❜
blue listens to what noah says as he looks at her with his pale face. he was a raven boy from aglionby, she remembered. seeing him and the others initially at nino’s.
they were at monmouth manufacturing, where gansey was talking with athena ( about the english king alfred ). as they rebuild henrietta ( a model restructuring of the town ). they had brought along a takeaway container of foam with pork and chive dumplings 🥟 ; sticky residue as paste for roof of buildings. and in this moment,
she saw athena get a popstick from a chocolate ice cream block she ate with the stickiness ( water like soup and pink rosewater pork rubbing between her fingers ). she then sticking it onto the stick and then pressing firmly onto it in the space between two short poles ( with the top being squares ). ‘ a see-saw, ‘ she says to gansey.
noah was describing his ghost consciousness to her, wishing to feel in the present and more human ( and less with the pain of his death liquefying over in his head with whelk killing him ). as he got to know blue more over time, they had become friends. he mentioned he felt a skeleton at times, despite also knowing he was dead. he mentioned a time of pain where he truly could feel a peculiar sensation of flickering in and out at quickened intervals even within the living world.
‘ I do eat, ‘ she says. yet she saw ghosts quite a lot, especially at saint mark’s eve, and that sometimes lessened her appetite. ‘ sometimes it does taste the same, like if I eat too much of it. yet working at nino’s, there is a variety of food. ‘
