CHAPTER 2

NOV 7TH | 54℉☀(windy)

▸ Parka up for a cold an--*CHSKSSS--*- windy day in Blackwell folks! I sure do hope--*CHSKSSS--*-search team down at the lake won't--*CHSKSSS--*---*CHSSK--*-trouble out on the waters. Professional divers have been going in since dawn, let's give it up for the professional --*CHSKSSS--*-!!

▸ Old Lady Petunia has paid me to say DO NOT SEEK OUT THE ANGELS--*CHSKSSKK--SK--SSSH--*- In fact, there are no such thing as angels. See how easy that was? No angels, no problem.

▸ And now back to our --*CHSKSSS--*-regularly scheduled programming.

THE RISING IS NOT IN EFFECT

What? [ right after her own and blinks, then shakes her head. it was so not implied. okay, it was, but she has selective hearing. it's a character flaw. she checks her phone when it buzzes; it's the alarm. shit, she should go too. meeting ben. but she's never on time for anything so her mind quickly decides the food is worth being late (then again, almost everything is). she turns it off and looks at noah, shaking her head no again ]

I didn't-- [ well. she tried. she holds her hands up as a white flag ] Dropping it. [ she'll accept your bill payment because it is a big relief for her stretched thin wallet ]

I can't, actually, I need to go to Elkins in a bit. [ which reminds her ] So, hey, I know it's been a while since you were here, but do you remember anything about Lost Lake?

[ex_typea255]

[she's already getting up from the table, but it's a deliberately slow process to give sophie time to get her question out. she checks her phone in the middle of it, laying her jacket over her arm]

Yeah, that ghost town across the lake? [shrugs because it was never a big part of her growing up here. yeah, it was there, and sometimes kids pulled stupid stunts involving it, but she never personally went there. she's heard Stories.] You know, at one point, I considered going into real estate. It's a buyer's market right now. I bet you could make a bundle flipping that property if you rebranded the town's image.

[points at her and makes a clicking noise. that's definitely not the answer she was fishing for but noah makes a point of keeping herself uninvolved from superstitious, spooky nonsense. jesus doesn't want you to be superstitious and no ones got time for spooky shit.]

[ she finishes the rest of her food like there's a void inside her (it's called protein deficit probably) while noah talks but kind of snorts at the whole buyer's market comment and gives her a look. the only thing she's investing in is... well, nothing, you need money for that. but whatever. ]

Right. I don't think you can rebrand anything in there. [ the place's a nightmare. HAHA. get it? ahah. ha. ] Anyway, it's nothing, just a thing I'm working on. [ waves her hand. i'll let u know if jesus is needed. ]

Anyway, thanks for dinner. Uh, if you need anything-- [ she gives a half-assed shrug. she probably don't need nothing let's be real here ] Just please, don't [ gestures a little with her hands ] antagonize Izzy. [ let the booboo heal ]
