[you find yourself in this derelict village, with not a soul to be seen—but before you is this station wagon:



for all intents and purposes, this baby is a simple "honk, steer, pedal to go, brakes to stop" vehicle that anyone with opposable thumbs can drive. despite its age, it does have a handy GPS system that displays paths you can take, but fails to identify anything like landmarks or other worldly features. last but not least: its paint job is done in your unit's color!

The following can be found in the trunk/dashboard:
• Icepicks
• These 5 Bone Saws
• A surgical set
• A single miniature of 99 Bananas
• one large first aid kit containing nothing but bandages and bandaids]

REACTION/DISCUSSION

[ Okay, this place is... honestly really pretty, but he's tense as soon as he sees anything in the distance, and he remains tense until the uh very timely song digs right into his brain and owfuckshit. Hands clapped over his ears, but of course it doesn't really help. At least the pain recedes after a moment?

And...... now he can't hear anything, cool. Squeezes one eye shut, consideringly, then looks over at Tenn. You okay? ​]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ He can't tell, completely, what happened. One moment, they were driving like nothing was going wrong-- And the next, Lupine was in pain. It doesn't take much to realize that it's the song that did it, and so-- ...Whether the car has stopped or not, he opens the door and rushes out of it to go and find the source to stop the music, without giving Lupine's concerned look an answer. ]

[at_heart]

[ —Well, if you're gonna be like that about it, he's going to follow — a little slower, trying to get used to the... total absence of sound. Making a mental note to Cut-Tongue Sparrow himself after this is over, just... so that he's less caught unawares the next time.

Man, it is seriously disorienting, just feeling the impact of a jog without the sound of footsteps??? ]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he finds it! he turns it off! he turns back to go back to the car and- Oh, you came, too. ]

Are you alright...?

[at_heart]

[ ...Welp. He recognizes that that was a question. A concerned question, even. Glances at the speaker, then back at Tenn. Offers up a rueful smile. ]

I'm hoping you just asked if I was okay, because otherwise this is gonna be embarrassing.

[ and OH BOY is it ever way more disorienting to speak and only really feel the words instead of hearing them ] [ Augments what he says next with a thumbs up??? ]

Still can't hear anything, but it doesn't hurt anymore. We can get moving again.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ ...Cool.

That's cool.

Except it isn't cool at all. He doesn't like that, he really doesn't like that, but he nods- reaching out to grab Lupine's wrist and pull him back to the car.

...Like, he's deaf, he doesn't need to be lead by hand, but Big Brother (younger) Instinct has taken over. Sorry! ]

[at_heart]

[ —The tiniest muffled laugh in your wake. Following, though! ]

Hey, I mean it. It doesn't hurt anymore.

[ There's gotta be something they can use to write with in the glove compartment, right? Right. ] [ Also, Tenn, he's — made note of both this and the way you immediately jumped out of the car to try and put a stop to the music. It's not quite what he expected, somehow? And he appreciates it. ]

[heavenlyvisitor]

You can't hear me, so I immediately win all arguments, by the way.

[ They get back in the car! Tenn gets in the drivers seat! They go! ]

[at_heart]

[ Wow, Tenn. ]
