then what the fuck are you trying to say
just forget about it ok
you're not coming over anymore so you're not gonna see it

[oraculum]

we don't have to talk abt it esp since ur being sketch anyway
let me know if anything strange happens
don't keep it to urself bc that would be such a stupid u move
sometimes my presence is enough to fuck up a space temporarily

[touchwood]

what does that mean
fuck up a space

[oraculum]

i told u i aggro things just by existing, 1 of my many charms
it's possible i could've unintentionally pulled him closer to the edge of the veil though i am not saying that is what has happened before u freak out on me

[touchwood]

in theory if this thing died in the apartment then what would it be trying to do anyway
if it got closer to the edge of the veil

[oraculum]

depends how it died and how pissed off it is
ill just say that appearance-wise it looks like the dude had a fucked up death and his vibes were super no bueno
him touching u made me uncomfortable bc it was rly bold

[touchwood]

he fucking deserved it and now he's fucking mad about it
the fuck

[oraculum]

[ yike ]

u do know him

[touchwood]

i know him in theory
we only met a couple times but he was the worst fucking one
he beat the shit out of my mom one time and did the same thing to me
anyway i never touched him

[ technically ]

[oraculum]

he died in ur apartment ashe

[touchwood]

so
maybe he tripped and fell and broke his fucking neck
karma's a bitch
what does this have to do with me

[oraculum]

he didnt break his neck
he was burned alive and asphyxiated on the smoke
im not saying he didnt deserve it but he died in ur living room

[touchwood]

[ how tf ]

this is officially none of your fucking business
fuck off

[oraculum]

don't ask questions u don't want actual answers to
i wasn't accusing u of anything

[touchwood]

you want to though
you think i killed him
can't you see me getting pissed off enough to snap

[oraculum]

lighting someone up like the 4th of july doesn't rly seem like ur style esp if we're not talking premeditated
one doesn't just set a person on fire in self-defense. that takes effort.

did u kill him

[touchwood]

how would you know

i'm not saying yes but what if i did

[oraculum]

bc it is much easier to grab the nearest sharp object and go to town vs taking a lighter to someone's clothes and hoping theyre flammable
idt he was doused in lighter fluid either but i didn't get a good read on him

u said he deserved it

[touchwood]

i didn't touch him

my mom has a scar at her hairline from when he slammed her face into the bathroom mirror
doubt we were the first single mom and son duo he fucked with but we were definitely the last
he was a piece of shit and i don't give a fuck about his angry fucking ghost

[oraculum]

someone touched him unless he set himself on fire

u say u didnt touch him then drop a shady confession
im not going to judge u for whatever happened dude
i just want u to be careful rn in the present

[touchwood]

it's fine
it's all stupid anyway
i don't give a fuck about this i'm trying to get high and build a sandcastle

[oraculum]

sry

[ not really that sorry because warning him felt right but he will apologize every time to keep the peace. ]

lets get fucked up
promise u wont ditch me

[touchwood]

ok i'm at the beach already
if you go past the bonfire there's a little stretch of beach kinda by the woods
promise you won't send me any more fucking emojis

[oraculum]

sweet ill be there in like 15 mins
need to get gas real quick
that is a promise i cannot make

[touchwood]

ok

[ it's all he sends because he's starting to overthink this and needs to put his phone down. delta knows too much, but the details are still a mystery to him. that's good. ashe can continue to play this off and do his own research on how to get rid of an angry spirit. no need for delta to ever know what he really did that night, and he's not sure why he's in this specific location on the beach because it's far too close to where he dumped the body into the ocean.

it's stupid. it doesn't matter. he idly heaps sand around him while he waits for the edible to take effect, forming the base of the castle and quietly enjoying the balmy breeze moving through his hair.

he doesn't remember when he plopped down onto the sand and started stargazing, but the castle is wholly forgotten while he tries to find pegasus amongst the constellations. ]
