the campfire is warm , but no amount of heat can chase away the bone - chill that permeates everything in the entity's realm . at least here , it's safe ..... as safe as you could be , at least . beezy shakes her head slightly at tai's restlessness , the glow sticks she's wearing moving with the motion like a target around her throat .

' you really shouldn't just go wandering around all willy nilly , ' beezy warns , a vague gesture to the almost physical darkness that looms outside of the camp boundaries . ' we aren't the only ones out here , remember ? even if you're , like , super sneaky , i seriously wouldn't recommend it . especially not at night . ' it's a lesson stubborn new survivors have to learn : bz just hopes tai's smart enough not to learn it the hard way .

you can tell she's put effort in her appearance today, adorned in a dark-grey ensemble and skinny jeans with layered necklaces and a subtle tan, but as digits run through bleached tresses, she welcomes tai with a smile, dragging her frame upwards to invite a conversation. ❛❛ hm. ( 🇦​ 𝚜hrug ) both, i guess. ❜❜ everything's a little grainy, and there's a certain buzzing she can hear to the back of her head, ── reminiscent of how it feels to be in the heat for too long, surrounded by things that peck on your flesh. [ LIKE ᴛʜɪɴɢs THAT ᴍᴀʏ BE ᴘᴇᴄᴋɪɴɢ ON ʏᴏᴜʀ BFF's ᴄꮻʀᴘsᴇ ... ] she feels her head feel a little heavier than usual, and instantly her digits grab tai's water bottle, flicking it open & throwing back water like a shot. it's dribbling in the corners of her mouth, 🇩​🇷​🇮​🇵​🇵​🇮​🇳​🇬​ 🇩​🇴​🇼​🇳​ to her neck, but the coolness only makes her want more ─ anything to block her thoughts. ❛❛ yep, you guessed it. hungover. 𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝚆𝙴'𝚁𝙴 𝚆𝙰𝚃𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙴𝚅𝙸𝙻 𝙳𝙴𝙰𝙳 𝙸𝙽 𝙲𝙻𝙰𝚂𝚂 𝚃𝙾𝙳𝙰𝚈 ─ which i've seen like, thirty times. ❜❜ one of them being with charlie, so she immediately wipes her lips and tries to subtly change the topic. ❛❛ where did you disappear to yesterday? what, did you get lucky or something? ❜❜

"Tai!" Shauna practically screams as she tries to catch up with the girl. She had promised to go out for ice cream with Taissa, just to have a chat. In fact, she had been the one to suggest it and yet... It took one complaint from Jackie for Shauna to delay. She almost didn't show, almost left it all behind. But she managed.

Not that it wouldn't have repercussions. Surely, Jackie would weaponize this sometime later, Shauna reminded herself. But, at least, here she was, she made it. So, once she caught her breath, and though she was a little hesitant, she glanced over at the girl, apologetically, and spoke.

' shit . i'm fucking this up . look , there's a reason dwight is the one who usually shows newbies the ropes and not me . ' a small huff of frustration escapes , directed to herself . ' i'm not trying to be patronizing . it's not that i don't think you're , like , tough enough or whatever . i'm just trying to prepare you for some really fucked up shit you're gonna see . ' of course , no amount of there's a monster out there can properly brace someone for the truth of the entity , the screams of pain it draws out of the very people you're trying to save .

through the hatch bianca tumbles , headfirst into the darkness & then the hazy gray light of the campsite . she's bleeding badly , a knife wounds slashed across her body ---- but she's still alive . still able to groan in response when tai appeared above her like an angel with a medkit . it's a solid few moments later she can finally speak , smiling with bloodied teeth . ' give you one guess , ' she rasps before dropping her head back to the ground . eyes flutter closed and a painful sigh is heaved . ' god , i'm tired . '

𝒮ee, the thing about Nikki [ and there are, regrettably, many things about nikki ] is that she has never learned the respectable art of leaving well enough alone. Most individuals arrive into this world furnished with boundaries, property lines, sensible little hedgerows separating one person's interior from another's. NIKKI DID NOT POSSESS SUCH EQUIPMENT. Whether by defect or design shall remain anybody's guess, but she encounter these walls with a little pickaxe.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀╵╵ [ today was one of those days. ]

They'd argued for the better part of an hour. Nikki pushes because this is what she does best, Taissa refuses because this is what she does best. TWO UNSTOPPABLE FORCES, both discovering that much to their collective irritation, that they have once again chosen the same narrow highway. That is, until, Taissa had firmly planted herself & her tongue, speaks. & suddenly the room changes shape. For once, Nikki stops. WHICH OUGHT TO BE CLASSIFIED AS SUPERNATURAL ON ITS OWN. she's stood with the backpack strap dangling from one shoulder, fingers curled around the strap. you can practically see it, thought colliding behind her eyes. THE TRULY MISERABLE FACT: Nikki likes Taissa enough to be angry, to be pushy, to notice. Finally, ⠀“ Y'know what ? Fine. You really wanna know ? ” She turns, steps closer. Close enough now that this has stopped being an argument and has transformed into autopsy.

The backpack slips from her shoulder and lands at her boot with a soft, defeated thud. Her attention has moved elsewhere, fixed now upon the other with the particular intensity Nikki reserves for very specific places. ⠀“ I think you're, like, trying so hard to be good at pretending shit just doesn't get to you. Like ... ” she continues, words gathering a momentum now, emphasizing the syllables with her hands. ⠀

⠀⠀“ So good at it, that you think everybody else should do the same thing. ⠀⠀And maybe that's just so great, and so super awesome and maybe you're ⠀⠀so super really good at it. ”

Au început să se certe după ce au decis să taie sporurile bugetarilor

Au apărut mai multe discuții în spațiul public după ce s-a decis eliminarea sporurilor bugetarilor care nu sunt justificate de performanță. Cu toate că s-a luat această hotărâre repede, coaliția de guvernare a decis să nu le taie prin Ordonanță de Urgență, înaintea adoptării bugetului, pentru că ar putea fi contestate la Curtea Constituțională. Urmează o analiză în Parlament, dar liderii…
