Stella was incapable of evading the vivid machinations of her subconscious recently, it seemed.

She’d never been particularly prone to fatigue or tiredness, and even what she was, the woman always seemed able to draw from a somehow endless pool of motivation. But recently, the trials had become so frequent she almost thought the entity was conspiring against her. She’s wake up at the campfire from a trial with a horrible ache in her hand where Frank had stabbed through the ligaments, or a feeling of vacant pain through her shoulder where The Shape had run her through on a hook. And though Stella would never, ever admit it, the constant tinge of pain was taking a toll. The curse of heavy eyelids met her at every quiet moment, and quick naps brought utterly visceral visions.

Her face might contort ever slightly, her brow might wrinkle on what should be a peaceful, slumbering expression. No one around during ever really seemed to want to intrude, only giving each other, nervous concerned looked. Except Marie, that empathetic girl.

Stella jolted awake, startled out of her sleep by a tentative hand on her shoulder. It took a moment of fumbling over her words, sounding our nothings as she quickly regained her barrings.

“Wh-What’s goin’ on, what’s happening?? Is something wrong? What’s up?” She pushed out, but the words still melted together a bit.

Vantablack glanced up at the survivor propped up against the nearby ledge. Before them on the hook, the body of a now-significantly-less-cocky Jake Park, knuckles bared white as he struggled against the claws of the Entity.

“Heh, I’ll say,” They chuckled as they glanced back up to admire their prey. All throughout the last few trials he’d toyed with them, sabotaging everything his grubby hands could grasp. It was all-too satisfying finally catching him with his pants down (for a turn of phrase), and stringing him up to bleed like a pig.

It was funny, at any other moment they wouldn’t be bothering to hesitate before spinning around and having Marie join him, but considering the pain Jake had caused them they were feeling rather generous now.

[ pin ]   your muse forcibly pinning my muse beneath them.

Meg grunted loudly as she was forcibly shoved back against the nearby tree. She glared at Marie, mouth opening to yell at her in retaliation... but she stopped before she could utter out a word.

That gleam in Marie’s eyes, fierce, enraged, accusatory... she knew it all too well.

“Meg’s” expression softened, her shoulders shaking as a low, cruel chuckle purred from her throat. The flesh of her cheek split apart, three gleaming white eyes staring down at the girl before her.

“Congrats, you found me~” The faux-survivor sneered, a crooked, menacing grin curling across her features.

[ spit ]   your muse making mine spit blood. 

“AUGH-!!”

The Shadow stumbled back, the prey they were carrying slipping from their grasp as the hard metal frame of a locker door suddenly slammed open into their face. They held their face with a clawed hand, clenching their eyes shut as they regained their senses from the blow. A low growl rumbled from their chest in growing rage and irritation, catching sight of the survivor responsible for them losing their well-earned catch.

They straightened back up, cracking their neck with a hard, sudden jerk. The Shadow then cocked their head back and spat out a glob of glistening, iridescent blood onto the dirt.

“Where are you going? Why are you running??”

They manically barked, making haste across the map toward their newfound target.

Vantablack chuckled at the survivor’s question, at her angry and accusatory tone. She always was a bold one, even now she not only stood her ground against a creature like them, but she even confronted them without a drop of regret.

“I’ve seen plenty,” They sneered at the young girl, “Your family, your school, your friends. What of those you actually had that is. ‘Course I’ve yet to see your whole life, every formulative detail that makes you who you are. But I can say I’ve seen more than enough...”

A sweeping roll of black flesh overtook them from head to toe. Facial features morphed, body type shifted, clothing replaced. A discolored, corrupted reflection of Marie stood confidently before her. Lips curled up in a sinister grin, pale eyes leered from beneath the mask of her faux face.

Affection || @chubbymarieuwu || Accepting

✩  Grooming, brushing, or tending to their hair.

It wasn’t well known to most survivors what the Shadow did in their off-time, not that it was something at the forefront of anyone’s imagination in the first place.

In truth, the Shadow was almost always about. If not with their killer companions, in the midst of the very survivors themselves. Often this led to turmoil and discord between the survivors as they gleefully spread rumors and lies to create rifts in their relationships, though this was not always the case.

Tonight, survivors and Shadow alike were more than exhausted in equal rights. “Meg”, as they went by tonight, sat against the ground, leaning back against one of the logs they used as a makeshift seat. Copper hair unbraided and flowing as Marie absently brushed through it with her fingers. It was soothing, relaxing for the both of them, no doubt. For now they didn’t mind; the relaxing energy was all they needed to recuperate. It was what kept all of them going.

Vantablack couldn’t help but chuckle at the threatening tone of the survivor before them, corners of their mouth turning up in a cruel grin.

“You’re just now starting to realize that?” They sneered, “I was always here just to waste your time. Just to spite you, waste your energy and resources.”

They neared Marie, eyes glinting dangerously in the moonlight. Edges of blunt human teeth narrowed and sharpened cruelly within their mouth, if though every cell in their body was mocking her for ever falling for their facade.

Spill Your Secrets || @chubbymarieuwu || Accepting

🖤- For something they secretly wish they could do with your muse

“I have some plans, but don’t tell her. They’re supposed to be a secret after all.”

“I’m watching her. I wanna see her get nice and close to a couple of her companions. If she gets close to a crush, that’ll be even better. I’m gonna take my time, nice and slow, move the pieces around to get them closer than ever…

…then I’m gonna plant some seeds of betrayal and distrust between them behind the scenes, and watch them all break and crumble into dust.
