WEEK 3 MINGLE

[foundationmods]

WEEK 3

Week three opens like the other two weeks, but when you wake up, you know there's been a change in the area. At first, nothing is wrong - but when you look at any window, you aren't greeted with the cheery sight of the outside - instead, there's just a cold, harsh blackness. Trying to leave out the doors is impossible, too - if you try, you just find yourself back on the couches in the lobby. On top of that....The Staff are beginning to act even stranger, their glitching out becoming more obvious. Sometimes, they seemingly go blank mid sentence and walk away, as if they were reset, and slur or stutter their words.

The weather is...well, non-existent, except for the courtyard, which is still pleasantly snowy. There is still music playing in the halls, and the cover songs continue with some low-key music for the week.

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone. Another piece to the puzzle, one step closer to finding the truth of this place. Yet, it doesn't seem like you're any closer to solving this...

And time still ticks onwards, regardless if you're ready or not.

oh thank god because im not up for that either

phil do you really think i spend my days gossiping about the top or bottom status of everyone i sleep with

[imstuck]

Hey, for all I know, you might spend all day talking about how easy I am or something.

[resortghosts]

[???

More concern]

hey wait no

[Medic shifts closer to him and just kind of. Pulls Phil close. It makes it harder to write notes when you're awkwardly cuddling another man but it's fine]

I dont know what I did that made you think I'd do that or call you that but no

[He's so confused about what the fuck is going on]

[imstuck]

Huh?

[Well he doesn't mind the cuddling but he seems genuinely confused.]

You didn't do anything. I just always think that everyone secretly hates me at some level. It's a really common occurrence for me

[resortghosts]

i get that. but you're usually not as open about it???

and im used to accidentally making people uncomfortable with me so

if there's something I can do to fix that before they give up on me then I want to know

[Medic still doesn't get what's happening here but sharing his own issues helped Phil before so. It's turning into oversharing and genuine pouring-their-hearts-out hour now]

[imstuck]

There really isn't anything you're doing wrong, Medic. I'm happy with you, and the fact that you love me despite everything I've done is more than enough.

That bird thing is weird, though.

[I'm so sorry.]

[resortghosts]

[Hey what the fuck that's gay

Medic's not usually flustered by much, but he's also not used to someone being so open with him. His only long term relationships back home are a man who prefers to act instead of speak, and a man who never takes off his mask, let alone hints at his name.

He doesn't reply for a bit, too overwhelmed to actually think of anything to say. Finally:]

too bad you'll deal with my pigeons and you'll LIKE IT

[imstuck]

[Phil groans before lying back down on his bed.]

This is why I love you Medic.

[resortghosts]

what? the fact that i love my birds?

[imstuck]

No, just the way you act. You say these little things that surprise me and it's been so long since I've found myself with someone who was like that.

You're adorable, really.

blank told me to include that line so no one can blame me for it

[resortghosts]

[Medic has been called a lot of things in his lifetime. Most of them very insulting, several of them alongside physical violence.

He can't remember ever once being called adorable before. If Phil pays close enough attention, he can hear Medic make an odd strangled noise of surprise before burying his face in Phil's side.

The more this goes on, the more confused Medic gets. This is the most open anyone has been with him before, and this is after, what, three weeks together?

When he finally gets enough presence of mind to write again, it's, well.]

did i manage to literally fuck you senseless

[Because otherwise he doesn't know what the hell this is]

;)

[imstuck]

What? Medic, that's really out of left field.

[Ok that's enough to knock Phil speechless for a few moments.]

Whatever you think is wrong with me I guarantee you this isn't about sex. I would have had my senses knocked out of me years ago if that was the case.

[resortghosts]

theres nothing wrong with you im just! surprised!

people aren't usually so honest with me and if they are it's usually negative

[imstuck]

Well I'll be honest, I am madly in love with you, Medic.

[resortghosts]

[There's a long moment of silence. Then-]

how???????

[He Doesn't Get It!!!!!!!!]

[imstuck]

Because you're really smart and kind and doesn't judge me despite all the shit you know about me.

[He's just going to curl up against Medic now.]

I don't know how one could not fall in love wit you.

[resortghosts]

[Medic looks up at Phil. He considers this. He thinks about telling Phil he's wrong, and that he's made a mistake, and that Phil has no idea what kind of disaster he's fallen in love with- if he can even call it love at this point.

Not for any self-loathing reasons, really. Just common sense and a lot of failed relationships with people who couldn't handle his particularly brand of... Medic-ness, have taught him a few things.

Instead, Medic plants light kisses at Phil's side, where the bandages were earlier in the week.]

[imstuck]

[Phil can't help but laugh lightly.]

You did such a good job healing me, you know that? One of these days I need to repay you for that.

[resortghosts]

healing people is my job, you know

i'd be disappointed in myself if i wasn't at least alright at the task

[He hums a little.]

I wouldn't say no to repayment, though ;)

[imstuck]

[Phil kisses the top of Medic's head.]

Name your price; I'm all yours.
