[bravest]

his breathing leaves him in short , sharp pants ... the gun had been so heavy . six had hoisted up the barrel with him to aim , and his trembling fingers had found the trigger . never had he handled anything so deadly , and his stomach had twisted with dread ... what if there are no bullets ? that had been his first thought , fraught with terror . subsequently , another equally horrifying question followed : but what if there are ?

they're going to kill him . ... they have to kill him . he's making them kill him .

eyes screwed shut , resisting the urge to flinch or turn away from the scene ... mono had squeezed the trigger .

the recoil knocked him back , flinging him to the floor . his ears ringing , the boy feebly attempts to push himself to standing again ... dimly aware of six talking , he shakes his head in an effort to reorient himself . she sounds so quiet . maybe it's just the aftermath of that blast right beside his ears ... the pain passes , slowly but surely , and he smiles up at the girl gingerly .

" we ... got him , didn't we ? d'you - d'you think he's dead ... ? "

stumbling to his feet with six's support , mono approaches the door , and peeks out of the shattered wooden panels . the hunter lays sprawled amidst the long grass ... unmoving . there is no rise and fall of his chest to betray any sign of life - upon confirmation , the child lets out a shaky exhale of his own , and turns back to face six . a firm , reassuring nod .

" we're safe . "

guilt does not wrench at him anymore , even with the knowledge that the monster is truly felled by their hand . quite the contrary ; it makes him feel brave . strong . six makes him feel brave and strong . they're a good team - just like she said . as long as they're together , everything is going to be okay .

mono gently takes her hand into his again , and squeezes it tenderly , expression soft and voice gentle .

" you did so good . that was - i'm - i'm glad you're okay ... that we're okay . "

he leads her forward , sparing no second glance for the oversized corpse left in their wake . they climb out of the shack's window , and approach a door by the water's edge , which the boy quietly points out . with their combined strength , they push it out onto the ocean and then quickly climb aboard ...

a moment can finally be taken to catch their breath .

mono only looks forward at the seemingly endless expanse of water briefly ... then his eyes flicker to six , and find themselves resting on her . his mouth falls open . he wants to say something to her - anything ... but nothing will come . he flusters and blusters inwardly , scrambling for some sentiment that might give cause for conversation ... before his mouth closes again . he fidgets with his fingers nervously .

“Yeah, me too.”

Six noticed Mono’s trembling, but said nothing. She was close to it, too- but more out of tiredness than terror at the moment.

The pair soon afterward made a break for a small shed, and she scarcely heard Mono holler, “hurry, Six!”

Unable to think about or remember anything that had happened just moments before, she scrambled into the structure after her friend, slamming the door shut with some effort and pulling back hard on the lock.

“Urgh-!”

As Six heard clattering behind her, she realized that Mono had pulled down another shotgun from just under the window.

Saying no more- knowing what had to be done- Six struggled with the barrel of the gun, holding it up towards the Hunter as he smashed through part of the door…

Mono pulled the trigger.

POW!!!

Both children went sent flying backwards into the floor; Six’s ears rang deafeningly, and it took several seconds for the ringing to cease.

As it did, the dazed girl nudged Mono’s knee with her pale, tiny hand. “You ok?” she rasped, suddenly cracking a rueful grin. “W-we did it, Mono! We took care a’ him, huh…?”

Her voice was little more than a hoarse whisper, but it was full of shocked triumph and near-giddiness.

Six got to her feet, slightly wobbly. But she still reached down to help Mono up, anyway.

They were a team, and she wasn’t going to let him go.

Not now.

Not ever.

" this form is just fun to wear around on earth . juuuust close enough to mostly blend in with you guys - and juuuust uncanny enough to freak out anyone who takes the time to look closer . i'm like the concept of uncanny valley walking . "

she flips upside down in midair carelessly , a lopsided smirk tugging at her lips as rue draws closer . white hot static electricity pings off the little abomination . divine energy crackles in her ichor and code . the ugly sound of rue's thrumming heart and her squelching blood under that thin veneer of skin pounds in her ears . glitch shrugs .

" because i'm bored , partly . other gods are no fun ! but it's also a part of the work i've been assigned . before i rip a planet apart at the seams and devour it's core , snuffing it from existence like a candle in the wind ... i have to check for anomalies . special things in this reality that need to be preserved , or protected , at least for now . otherwise it's a whole lotta paperwork ... also , there's the looming threat of being , like , unmade by my overseer for fucking up , and stuff . so yeah . "

a notion squirms in rue's skull . her thoughts are loud , and glitch tilts her head ... attempting to attune to whatever theory is brewing in this weirdo's mind . this ought to be good .

if she get anything from eating batteries , why even bother eating them. feels like there's some underlining stuff there but it's clear she's not gonna get any more about it. not now anyway. her pen tries scribbling down , quoting glitch's words , but honestly this is garbage. she needs REAL ANSWERS. if she tries posting something like this on her blog , no ones gonna bothering clicking.

rue stops , her face sagging with irritation as she sighs , slamming her note book shut. she knows she's a god but , seriously , can she hop down her high horse for five seconds and take give her an REAL interview.

" fine. okay. then why do any of it ? " she steps closer , making an attempt to put her and glitch on an evan level. " why use this form ? why bother talking to me ? "

her line of questioning suddenly stops , a theory pops in her head , but she doesn't say it. what if she's wrong ? that'll look look embarrassing on rue's part. but if she's right then... it won't really change anything.

she has too much time on her hands.

would a monster apologise ? mono stills uncertainly , wringing his fingers as fragmented sentiments pour from this shadow in the shape of his friend ... never has he known the crueller beings of this world to hesitate in their torment , or to manipulate where they could simply use brute force . the oversized tormentors within the nowhere cannot be reasoned with . his breathing steadies . the boy swallows thickly .

" six ... " mono is acutely aware of a tremor in his voice as he utters her name haltingly - his throat feels unpleasantly raw and scratchy . he's going to cry , he thinks , like a stupid baby . it won't help anything , but he can't help it . " i didn't - i really didn't mean to , six ... you don't have to be sorry , it was - m- my fault , "

as the girl retreats into her raincoat , he steps forward as she shrinks back , his small hand outstretched pleadingly . hot tears prick at his eyes and slip down his cheeks .

" i'm sorry ... i'm so sorry - i'm going to help you . h - her . i promise , i'm going to fix it . "

her form warps, glitches, sputters under the eye of the signal; she had to get somewhere minorly more secluded to clear her head earlier but was quick to return. the little boy, all alone . . .

perhaps she is six. perhaps she isn't. she's confused. something was done to her - she should not care about this boy, but she does. what is a leech to do? the shade has no idea why she's doing any of this, nor does she know what she should be doing.

admitting that aloud is for losers, though, and losers don't eat.

"i'm s - s i -" she sputters, glitchy. she is, and isn't. it's hurting her head. she pulls on her hood. "she's - where the man tttook... me? i'm sssorry... monooo?"

i can't take the identity v crossover seriously . because why is mono whipping out that big ass nome

glitch will look at a human trying to think and be like " aww , don't hurt yourself ! "

#HATER ALERT!!! #i love her so much

[bravest]

" it's not an addiction , rue . it's a snack preference , that's all . one that has no impact whatsoever on the nature of my being . at least try and keep up if you're going to badger me . "

human beings really are so contemptuous , aren't they ? glitch doesn't bother to mask the disdainful edge to her otherwise playful tone of voice . this particular flesh sack is funny . largely unbearable , but there's amusement to be sourced from rue's piteous attempts to uncover something interesting that'll distract her from the aching mundanity of mortal life .

" hmmm ? oh . yeah , pretty much . "

the line of questioning is uninspired , and she stifles an exaggerated yawn behind her hand to demonstrate as much . a girl can LITERALLY eat planets for breakfast , and still a human's first instinct is to question your ability to ignore the force that binds lesser beings firmly to the ground . they're hapless that way , she supposes .

playing with her hair , erratic hiccups of static mangling her form intermittently as she speaks , glitch practically drawls ,

" i don't sleep . i don't have to eat or drink ; i indulge the practice recreationally . i don't have to breathe , i don't have to blink - i don't have to assume a form you're capable of registering with your primitive eyes at all . listen . as fun as our little talks are .... i think trying to understand what i am is a little beyond something of your ... ilk . "

a raised brow shoots up at the floating eldritch girl , clutching her camcorder close to her chest so as to not drop it. she hoped trying to get her friend on camera didn't rise the risk of corrupting all the other footage she'd captured. she shuts it off tucking it away into her bag , replacing it with a notepad and pen.

" so wait , " click. " you float all the time ? don't you get tired after awhile ; or do you just NEVER get tired ? that why you have a battery addiction ? "

little nightmares anniversary on sunday… if you don’t hear from me go ahead and assume me dead

#RELEASE DATE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE… #i’m SICK of waiting #they’re just gonna announce the enhanced edition i know it 😡😡

i think runaway uncovered a lot of the maw’s secrets before meeting with his terrible fate . he exchanged messages in bottles with outsiders , and he could communicate with them ( albeit in a limited way ) about other areas of the nowhere .

during his exploration i think he pieced together a lot about the maw by looking at the nome’s drawings , asking them about things , reading loose papers / books / journals and looking at maps and blueprints that allowed him to pick his way through the depths without having to risk cutting through the deadly kitchens and the main guest area like six did .

the only place he couldn’t uncover any information about was the residence itself , hence why it ended up being the stumbling point in what was almost a clean escape . he didn’t know the layout or really anything about who might lurk within . he was fumbling through blindly . even then , he still almost got away …

#the lady probably wouldn’t be happy about him uncovering so much (if she ever came to know) #but i do think an untouched part of her would be a little impressed… #children don’t get that far in a place like the maw without being somewhat impressive in some way #so i think she then found some degree of pleasure in undoing him and warping into something helpless and forever trapped in this place #you'll do better next time . / rk headcanons
