I'm Not Drunk Enough For This. / For Poor Carys Omg
❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜ / for poor carys omg <3
sadie’s words shot an immediate spike of adrenaline down carys’ spine. she could feel the anxiety wash over her, mouth clamping shut for only a few moments as her mind raced a mile a minute. it wasn’t unheard of for carys to talk more than she really should, so why would now be any different ? she just knew that she needed to at least try to rectify the situation.
“ oh, um— ” she floundered, before pausing to collect herself. “ i’m—i’m sorry; am i talking too much ? i don’t mean to, really, i just— ” she barely managed to bite back going on a ramble about her mother. sadie definitely did NOT want to hear about that.
“ i’m sorry, ” she apologized again. “ we can just drink in silence. ” and by ‘drink’ she really meant sit there at the bar while sadie drank and carys nursed a beer, trying not to appear too repulsed at the taste.

KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE (1989), dir. Hayao Miyazaki
for all of my t/wdg moots: today is katjaa's bday! she'd be... 61 today (with the game taking place in 2003)
🎲 lee & carley :3
29: a kiss to the back of the hand ...
life as it was now was becoming more and more normal for them and was almost alarming. carley, as much as she missed the days of being able to sink into the couch of her apartment and watch reruns of old 90s sitcoms after a hard day of work, found the memories were also becoming fuzzier; replaced with old musty motel rooms and the smell of mold and decay. it was true what they said: once you smelled a dead body, you’d never forget that stench for the rest of your life.
she also didn’t think she’d forget all the times lee, kenny, and mark would leave to go hunting and foraging, only to come back with some bad news—be it an injury, no food, or another mouth to feed. they’d hit the BINGO that day: lee cut his hand, they didn’t manage to bring back any food, and a band teacher and one of his students became two more mouths to feed—or would have, had katjaa been able to save the man.
it had been a lot to deal with. carley had gone to her dingy room to decompress, surprised to hear a knock at the door and even more surprised to find lee standing there.
“ hey, ” carley greeted, eyes dropping down to lee’s hand. “ i’m alright; you sure you don’t wanna keep that jerky for yourself ? ” it was so like lee to worry about the needs of the others of the motor inn before himself. carley didn’t know how he did it; especially to the likes of lilly and larry.
she only ended up taking the jerky upon lee’s insistence, before changing the subject to ask about his hand.
“ how’d you manage that ? get it while trying to save those other two ? ”
‘something like that…’
“ always so cryptic with you, ” carley said, rolling her eyes, before reaching for his injured hand and bringing it up to eye it, ignoring lee’s hiss of protest. “ but it doesn’t look too bad. you’ll live. ”
a thought crossed her mind then, and before she could think better of it, carley brought the back of his hand to her lips, pressing a featherlight kiss to the scratchy bandage for a moment before pulling away. still, her hold on his hand remained, and her gaze lifted once more to meet lee’s, holding it in a lingering stare for a few moments too long before she suddenly released his hand and averted her eyes.
she shoved down the butterflies fluttering in her stomach, and willed her cheeks not to flush as she made a show of clearing her throat and said in a preemptive warning, “ not. a. word. everett. ”
in one swift moment, she guided him out of her room, standing in the doorway as she added, “ it’s supposed to make it feel better. you should be thankful i even thought enough of you to do so, y’know. you’re welcome. ”
then, she moved back into her room and closed the door, prepared to spend the rest of the day kicking herself for behaving like a silly school girl with a crush.
me: imma write! it’s my day off! i got nothing planned!
life: well, actually…
