@Dirty Pretty Lies

It was great. The venom was amazing

[Venus]

@BrutalBx Thank you! I'm glas you liked it!

PS: Added a little something in the end.

[BrutalBx]

Well shit, Roddy is in trouble.

“Indeed, I was, actually! And no, he hasn’t. It just seems like dark times are the ones that bring the eavesdropping snakes out of their hiding places. Wouldn’t you say so, Kaitlin?”

@Dirty Pretty Lies

*clenches shirt, right above heart* well damn I know that wasn't technically directed to call Decky a snake too but damn is he gonna feel that Sucker punch

[Venus]

@AnaSilan Sunja LOL hey, I guess he feels guilty about something.

@Dirty Pretty Lies

Sincerest condolences for your ex-classmate.

Anyhow! Awesome post, loved it.

[Aces Away]

@Dirty Pretty Lies considering he had just heard his name called and now feels like anew eavesdropper? Lol yeah. Not to mention the well, shit moment of realizing your ex just basically subconsciously grouped you together with her highschool arch nemesis.

I'm hinkjg of doing a flashback back and forth with Decky and Lanie like how brutal and star are doing, you up for it or do you wanna keep your writing in the present?

[Venus]

@AnaSilan Sunja He did break her heart, after all. XD

And I would like that! Should we use the last doc?

[Polaris North]

When you want to post but end up not wanting to so as to not ruin the atmosphere...

[Aces Away]

I'll link you to the new one in a pm, DPL

[BrutalBx]

When you want to post but end up not wanting to so as to not ruin the atmosphere...

@Polaris North

Or on the flip side, could it add to the atmosphere?

[Polaris North]

@BrutalBx

I... don't think so. First is an interaction between the siblings (actors) and more on the comedy side so yeah...

[Aces Away]

@BrutalBx@Starwinter So me and DPL are working on a flashback collab and were thinking of dragging Kait and Roddy into it for added drama. DPL said we should ask you two about it though given how chaotic it might get trying to have 4 people weigh in on the same conversation. It would shorten me and DPL's collab and allow a quicker post on our part, but if you were planning ahead for your Flashback posts between Kait and Roddy, it would interrupt it, so we wanted to check in.

@AnaSilan Sunja

I'm more than happy to flashback with you guys!

@AnaSilan Sunja

I'm in!

unrelated, i will have Kait's response post up this weekend. Then I will probably pull her out of the scene and switch to Emilia.

[Polaris North]

...

I'll post now, but I guess it'll just be the siblings. There's no way Mike will enter the scene anymore.

[BrutalBx]

As per @AnaSilan Sunja request, there's been a slight revision of the original shows timeline with Decky and Lanie's relationship now beginning in season one rather than season two.

[Aces Away]

And here's why I asked Brutal to switch that up a bit. Something I was talking to DPL about.

But I wanted to follow up on this:

I just wanted to let you know that in my head, Decky never really was a player even when he was high as the sky. Before Lanie, he was barely one for hook-ups, let alone dating, because hooking up and having sex would have led to him having to take his clothes off, which would lead to people seeing the bruises and cuts. Being in a romantic or sexual situation was always too personal a thing for him to do.
Okay, yeah, that's okay! Thanks for letting me know! It makes me think, though… Why did he feel he could trust Lanie in that way, then? What did she have that the others didn't? And how do you think things between them played out?

So basically, I want to believe that he had seen her at a party before, and heard her complaining about this that or the other thing. He'd seen her in school too so she was a familiar face outside of his social circle of Trish and the other outcast-kids.

We've established that they met at a drug house and were FUBAR'd, so I wanna believe that Trish or someone else at the party had convinced him to take a new drug he'd never done before, and quote

The name sounded as awkward on his lips as their first kiss had been; two kids, high out of their mind and barely aware of the anchoring existence of bodies in the first place.

So, he was so messed up on a drug that he'd never been on before, and Trish had to leave because (Insert Brutal's Season 1, Episode 8 flashback scene) of the Cheerleader's death. So he's looking for a familiar face in the crowd that's all trying to leave before the cops show up, and he sees Lanie (Whose parents I assume are never home and another reason they didn't pay attention to her) and goes home with her. Like I said, he was barely aware of his body or existence so it'd be hard to worry about his bruises, cuts, and scars. And Lanie, being neglected and high, was probably touch starved and just hugging or leaning on Decky and Bada Bing Bada Boom, drugs+hormones+Mentaly fucked kids= making out and sex. I'd imagine he probably had enough sense of mind to keep his shirt on or tell her he wanted to keep it on or something but *shrugs*.

[BrutalBx]

And that is why the original Edenridge was so beloved! Storylines like that!
