“How far do you think you ran?”

“Um.” Trouble’s frown pulled to the side, brow furrowing as he tried to remember. “I don’t know. It was just more and more forest.”

“You didn’t see any signs? Nothing?”

“No. I couldn’t find any roads or other buildings either, and I was running as hard as I could. I knew he was behind me, chasing me.”

“So...you ran and ran until he caught you?”

“Sort of.” Trouble whimpered and flinched, hearing a phantom snarl that made his stomach turn over. “I looked over my shoulder, to see how close he was and I tripped. I couldn’t get back up in time to run again.”

“What if you weren’t alone the next time?” Paul knelt and reached for Trouble’s wrists, then hesitated. He put his hands back in his lap, thinking. “I have to get home, and I want your help, but you had that knife before. How do I know you won’t try to hurt me again?”

“I already told you, I didn’t mean to.” Trouble lowered his ears and whined softly. “I wanted to scare him, so I could get away. I swear. I’m sorry if I hurt you at all.”

“I...” Paul sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I have to get out of here.”

Apropos of (almost) nothing: I'm the kind of pedant who dislikes calling tentacle porn "tentacle porn" not because I think it's aberrant but because, 98% of the time, what's being depicted are octoform arms or tendrils, not tentacles. Tentacles are defined by the clubbed ends, which are the only part that have suckers. If it's tapered and has suckers all the way down, it's an octoform arm; if it has no suckers at all, it's a tendril.

You're welcome.

don't give up

about to drop literally the sickest insider knowledge you will ever receive pls use it responsibly:

are you a teenager? do you wish you had the space & resources & organization to do a thing, whether that's an anime club or a movie night or a big craft workshop or creative writing group or literally whatever? would you like to do your thing totally for free? yes?

okay, then bring it up to a librarian

seriously, teenagers are the absolute hardest group to engage at most libraries & we'll often organize programs that absolutely no one will show up to & it sucks. if you go up to a public librarian & say "hey, some friends & i want to do this thing. does that sound like a feasible teen program for the library?" most people will move heaven & earth to pull it off for you because we know there's an interest in our community. we will go balls to the freaking wall to make it happen

do you want a cosplay contest? a video game tournament? a free escape room? bring it up to the library. it's not a burden or an annoyance at all. it'll be like christmas came early for us

Megoosa.

“So you don’t have to kill in order to eat?”

“What?” Trouble blinked, startled. “Yeah I do. It’s not like I can let them go after. They’d call the cops or something. I’d get hunted down like a rabid dog.”

“But it’s possible for you. You can eat and leave them still alive.”

“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” He frowned up at F, starting to feel irked. “Eff, I have to.”

“Maybe before you had to, but you’re here now.” F’s eyes looked brighter as he smiled. “I could store someone for you.”

“Like Paul, you mean?” Trouble scoffed. “I’m not trying to find a pet. Whoever you bring me won’t be a friend or an experiment either, Eff. They’ll be food, that’s all.”

“Hmm.” F was gentle as he smoothed down tape to hold the fresh bandage in place. “Let me worry about that.”
