investigating the other house had turned out to be an horrible decision. they haven't found themselves face to face with the psychopath roaming these woods, but instead found more of their people entrapped by the lake. he could've gone without seeing familiar faces unable to help, at now at risk. there was one in particular he didn't want to see. ❛ what are you doing here ? ❜ stupid ass question, but he's not in his brightest mood. ❛ and please tell me you guys got wifi or something in this house. ❜

❛ how come you haven't been plotting anything ? or are you hiding some escape plan from the rest of us ? ❜ one thing is sure, no one could touch her bike and get away with it unscathed. nevermind the literal murdered friends to add to the rage he's assuming she might be feeling as well. but that's the thing about dani. he can never get the read he wants on her. when he thinks he's got her to listen, she throws a curve. when he doesn't want her somewhere, that's the spot she'll gravitate to. trying to get anyone in this damn house, let alone another full one to listen is impossible. so might as well see if she's got any brilliant ideas.

there's not a lot of silver linings to be found right now, between people not taking this seriously to others flat out refusing to cooperate and do their own things, it almost feels lie an impossible relief to hear his cousin share his own thoughts. but he doesn't want to relish in it. last he did that, he's found the other person with a gaping wound to the head. burak is not superstitious, but he also doesn't want to tempt fate too much. ❛ you're right. if we're to die, which we won't, i'd much rather do it trying than waiting to be suckerpunched by some ugly balding guy. fuck, it might do for some crazy found footage when we get out. ❜ he doesn't tell her that he wishes he could come face to face with this newspaper dude, put to work his hours at the gym and shove his camera down his throat. ❛ i think it's worth the shot. this might be the help we were waiting for, and i'm not spitting on it. ❜ it's damn nice to not hear bitching and moaning about a plan for once. ❛ do you want to grab something before we head out ? ❜ he's ready now, but he'll go when she's ready as well.

" i think we have to ." camille says instantly, although uncertainty still laced between all of her words . it didn't feel like there was a correct answer anymore, and it seemed even more impossible that the group of them would ever agree on anything ever again . " if it's not the psycho over there, then it's people . people who arrived . with cars ." cami's brown eyes are wide, like she's revealing something new and groundbreaking . " if we get there before the crazy guy takes all the gas, they can send for help . it's just ... hard to know how long they've been there . i don't know . but it does feel like it's either die here, or die trying, right ?" camille has always deemed burak to be smart, instinctive, and way more of a likely survivor of all this than she . " i just ... honestly, b ? i do what you do . do you think it's right ?"

❛ you serious about going to check out the other house ? ❜ he heard the warnings of the others, but he doesn't really think them founded. even if it was a trap to get them to move, they obviously weren't safe within their own lake house. out there or staying in, they were still sitting ducks to whoever was decimating their friends. or that's what he's telling himself so he could have an excuse to leave these bloodied walls. he's been awfully quiet since his discovery, the loss of his best friend and catalina not settling well for him. ❛ we need to get out of here. ❜ this house, this lake. it's clear to him now that family is who he has got to stick with, now that the threat has slipped under their roof.

finally, they were starting to make sense. deep down, he knew she would. it's just the moments where they both wanted to make an effort to understand one another were so few and far between. ❛ i don't know, i'm still spitballing, but we can't just stay here forever, that's for sure. if we can get a map of the trails around, maybe it could be feasible. i'm thinking about looking around in the office later. ❜ they're not ready to head out yet, that's certain. she starts laying out her own ideas, and it feels refreshing to bounce suggestions off of each other. burak's breath is less heavy, vision not so blurry in spite. he nods, liking what she was coming up with, not liking however the wave of memories coming along. there had been a reason why they'd work together once. ❛ yeah, meetups are good. but they aren't going to like a curfew, no. if they can stay in after dark though, that'd be a good start. ❜ compromises for safety, there could be worse things. ❛ i tried to get the buddy system going. but if it comes from you this time, it might work. ❜ he's seen enough movies to know there's safety in numbers. ❛ if people want to move, that's another idea. if not . . . we can switch. if it makes you feel safer to be with oli and aiden. ❜

She could feel his words starting to soften her. He thought that she had a power, a voice. It was something that meant something to Cat, she had spent her entire life making sure people heard her voice. "Hike?" She questioned, the idea of taking to the wilderness made her feel anxious. They didn't know what was out there, they didn't know the animals they'd come across. But they didn't know who and what was inside the lake house now either. "I think hiking should be the last resort type of the plan. I think that we should start with meetups during the day to check on each other and a curfew at night, keep everyone in sight of someone." The wheels beginning to turn in her head as she felt more confident in her words with the confidence Burak seemed to have for her. "People need to start sticking to groups. We shouldn't go off on our own for anything, maybe add another person to the two-bedroom rooms too."

❛ unless you've got a satellite phone, that's not happening. ❜ he doesn't know a lot of things, but the second it touches a phone or a camera, he's a nerd about specs. burak hates to be such a defeatist, but he knows his favorite technology won't just magically start up again. but hearing how scared she actually is, burak can feel a brief break in his temper. for the first time that weekend, he can look at her without nagging behind his eyes. ❛ i know you don't, it's not about controlling him or anyone — ❜ he isn't that much of an idiot to be blind to the influences within the lake house. if she's asking him what he wants her to do, his answer is too easy to give ; gather the group. he knows how easy it is to rally to her, her career alone proof enough of how captivating her presence can be. ❛ we can't be divided like this again if we have to . . i don't know, hike out of here. ❜ it's said as if she was at fault for the sides that drew up on that night, which isn't fair. ❛ point is, you can make people listen instead of fight. ❜ her voice doesn't get lost in the noise, that's a strength she can use.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Catalina stuck to the annoyance that was spread across her face. She wants to admit that she knows there are things he's right about, that everything he's saying isn't actually going in one ear and out the other. But, admitting something to him in this moment felt like a lot of weakness that she wasn't willing to show. "What if fidgeting on my phone isn't useless, what if I managed to get signal somewhere in this place?" She knew that her defense wasn't much and that it was crumbling fast against him, but she still continued trying. "I'm try-... I don't know what you want me to do here. I don't control anyone, Burak. I don't know what's happening and I'm fucking terrified right now. What the hell do you think I can do here?"

❛ you don't think that now should be the time to listen for once ? ❜ he can't be surprised that this is going in circle. this moment was bound to happen, behaving for days couldn't make up for a first real time alone in a room. this isn't the time to air out dirty laundry, the proximity makes it hard to ignore. lowering his tone to match hers doesn't diminish his exasperation, of both this argument and how he can still understand her train of thoughts. ❛ how exactly do you want to handle them, because fidgeting on your phone with no signal isn't going to work. ❜ he should know, for the amount of time he spends on that screen, it is useless to them without network. ❛ so keep your friend on a leash for all i care. but is it that fucking unbelievable that i don't want to turn the basement into a morgue ? ❜ is it unbelievable that he doesn't want to carry her down there ? a heavy huff escapes him, filled with the things unsaid, all in the name to keep pretending, like she so well put it. she gets on his every last nerves, but he doesn't want to see her lifeless just like he saw aaron.

The frustration that Catalina felt could only be made by Burak. She had to give herself a minute by turning around and walking the other way, staring out at the large windows in the room with them. She tried to take a deep breath to settle herself, not to make this fight anymore dramatic than it already was. But, as soon as she turned around and faced him once more, she felt the annoyance all over again. "You're right, I would do the opposite and not listen to you. Because that's the thing, Burak, I don't have to listen to you anymore." She walked back closer to where she was stood in front of him, not wanting her voice to raise loud enough for the others to start hearing. "I don't need you to stand here and pretend like you'd care what happens to me or whatever the hell this is right now, I just need you to back off my friend and let us handle things the way we want to handle them."

he's not interested in debating whether or not ace had aaron's body best interest at heart in that whole situation he would've done without. if that was their definition of help, maybe there is nothing he can do to rally them to his vision on how to get out of there. there's a frustrated sigh cut short by her snap, pulling the reign on his own snark, leaving him to stand in a pondering silence for a second. it's easy for them to hurt each other, but enough harm has been done inside this lake house already. ❛ because someone's dead, lina. and someone else drained all of our fucking gas, trapping us in here. ❜ stating the obvious once again, because it seems to be flying over her head. ❛ so yes, until we know who that is, i can and will stand there to tell you just that. because if i ask you to be careful, you'll go out and do the fucking opposite just to prove a stupid point. ❜ she's right, they have been making sure to steer clear of him this whole weekend. but there's no shunning possible now. not for surveillance, but to rest a little easier if he can see her alive and breathing.

The laugh of annoyance was quick on her lips, she knew that Burak wasn't one to give up a fight so easily but somehow she still thought he might. "He was trying to help too, don't make it seem like Ace wanted him to stay out there for the rest of the day." Her hand yanking from his grip the first second that she could, the warmth from his fingertips making her feel even more on edge. "Don't fucking talk to me that way." The snappiness in her voice giving him clear signs that she meant what was coming out of her mouth now. Catalina was not someone that you could just say anything to and it coming from her ex-boyfriend made it all the more worse. "We've both done everything possible to avoid you the entire time here and now you think you can stand here and tell me to get my head out of my ass? Why don't you do what you've always done best and leave me the hell alone."

❛ can you stop being such a conceited little shit. ❜ the comment is not meant to be incendiary, only to get things moving. ace might think otherwise, but he's not having the time of his life telling him what he should be doing either. instead of going into panic or shutting down, burak had to do something with his hands. he can't stay still, explaining the short fuse at the inaction that took place earlier. giving a cue for leo to lift, he can't help the groan at the surprising weight, even shared. ❛ why is this tiny fucker so heavy. ❜ stiffness, cool air and remaining water soaking clothes might have something to do with it as he heaves the body, coordinating his steps with leo's. ❛ steps are short, just be careful at the door. ❜ his tone excessively more calm with leo than it is with ace, absolutely playing favorites in the moment. ❛ yeah ? want to come put your hand in his mouth and tell us if he bites you ? until you're not a little bitch about it, go make sure we have space to place him. ❜ @leoxpark

"I don't want to wear the gloves they make my heads sweaty" he frowned as Ace shoved them against his chest. You would not think the three of them were surrounding their dead friend as they all discussed this but they were. Regardless Leo began to slip his hands into them and stretch out his fingers to make his hands more comfortable. Moving his way towards Aaron's legs he adjusted them slightly so he could step in the middle, it was only then he realised he had got the short straw with this. A groan leaving his body as he squatted down and slipped his hands under his friends legs in an attempt to grip onto him comfortably.. if there was anyway to do that with a dead body. "I'm ready" he nodded, "Well? Don't stand there looking pretty Ace.. do something at least!" @spitfirxs

the closer she got, the sturdier his feet rooted into the floor, conceding an inch not an option anymore. ❛ was i ? ❜ her touch acts like a fuse, his hand taking a hold her wrist to lower it away, the absurdity of her statement lost in justifications he doesn't owe her. ❛ was i really wrong to not want to see our friend rot under the sun or gnawed on by some wild animals ? to give him so kind of decency while we find out what the fuck is going on ? my fucking bad for dealing with it so you didn't have to see a corpse every goddamn time you passed a window. ❜ there's no sugarcoating the state of aaron, that much was not a delusion. ❛ if we're stuck here, it might be a good idea to start thinking about getting your head out of your ass. ❜ they'll all need to work together, despite his best wishes. and sadly for them, he has a knack at envisioning how things should go to be successful. it would be easier if they all listened.

Standing up from where she was sat down on the couch, Catalinas eye dug into Burak as he spoke to her. She couldn't believe that he was standing in front of her asking for support, as if the way they left things between them would ever grant him support for her. "Support you? Over Ace? Be serious right now, Burak. Ace could have been the one behind all this and I'd still support him over you." Even Cat knew that her words rang untrue, but it was the point that she was trying to make that mattered. She wanted him to know just how much she wasn't on his side anymore. Not even realizing just how close she had gotten to him until her finger was poking him in the chest. "You were wrong."

m - if i forgive betrayal.

❛ i'll forgive you if the betrayal is seeing a new movie we said we'd watch together without me, sure. i might not forgive a bigger betrayal, depends on the trust i had in you to begin with. but i don't like holding a grudge, so i might also be the kind to forgive after a while. ❜

❛ no, he was the only one being pissy about evidence, or whatever. ❜ which had been a crazy thing to think about at the time their friend was lying dead at their feet. ❛ it's aaron. shouldn't have been this hard to get everyone on the same page. ❜ there's clear frustration in his voice, exhaustion as well. he'll always shoulder the dirty decisions to make, if it meant his friends hands would stay clean. ❛ some support would be appreciated, that's all. ❜ he knows he's lost hers, but there's place for delusion in this insane situation. she'd always been a source of solace, even before their shared time. her absence is exponentially noticeable right now, which adds to the irritation. he shouldn't miss her, told himself he's done the moving on already.

Eyes glued to her phone, Catalinas fingers were typing away as if anyone in the house had been able to get a signal. A heavy sigh falling from her lips as each text message popped up as failed to her producer, clicking send once more to keep being met with the same disappointment. She hadn't even noticed her ex enter the room until his voice hit her ears. "Shut up, Burak." She snapped at him, fingers tightening around the cell phone in her hand as she glared at him. "He was trying to help. He was about the only one with a brain during that whole... whatever, anyway."

headcanons: 4 & 16.

driving headcanon

burak is a good, if reckless driver. that man has never respected a speed limit in his life and got out of one too many speeding tickets by playing the dad card. don't get it wrong he's not "winning street race" good driver, he would get smoked and can't drive manual ( 😭 ). but he's never gotten into any accident, so there's that. won't ever be late if he's your taxi. only drives with his left hand on the wheel.

anger headcanon

he's a passionate guy, which brings a short fuse when it comes to anger. he hits the gym a lot to blow out the steam when something upsetting happens, doing some lengths in the pool as a preferred method. he doesn't usually hold anger grudges, however. if an argument happens, it's one and done. he's quick to boil over and as quick to simmer down. he's going to say everything he needs to, no matter how harsh, then offer you a beer two minutes later.

spooky: raven & potion.

favorite fairytale?

❛ that's kind of charged actually. do you mean in the movie classics for kids or like any type of fairytales. because for a nice movie shrek is kind of unbeatable at this point. but for a folk tale, i've got a soft spot for the horse-devil and the witch. changing your wife into a tree and then yourself into a snake to coil around so your mother can't harm her without harming you ? crazy fucking tale. ❜

favorite horror movie?

❛ nothing is touching videodrome from the goat david cronenberg. everyone talking about the fly aren't that wrong, but they're still wrong about it. just how ahead of its time it was and the body horror in it left me shaken for days when i first saw it. every character in this is just insane. a recent movie creeping its way up though would be when evil lurks. five minutes in and they don't fuck around, worth the watch and rewatches if you don't mind gore. ❜
