Dreaming Together With You - A Fading Memory Experiment - On Hiatus

Audrey raised an eyebrow at Sidney's answer. Or, rather, at the apparent internal back and forth before she gave it. All she said in response was, "Cool! Maybe tomorrow, if we're not too tired."

Sidney had a brief text exchange with William, who Audrey mainly knew as another artsy friend who hung around sometimes. He was alright, but they didn't see each other much unless there was an intermediary friend, like Sid or Toby.

At the suggestion of eating, Audrey grimaced, but answered, "Sure, if you're buying," without a hint if shame, pulling her pockets out to demonstrate their emptiness. "Work at the ole mill dried up. I can getcha back in maybe a week, though. Don't let me forget."

@psych0pomp You telling me Ambrose knows who David Cronenberg is?

Oh no, seeing things from Sydney's perspective makes Audrey seem like a weirdo!

Not one for daydreaming, Audrey was ready to catch Sydney by the shoulders, but the girl righted herself before colliding.

"Doin' good. Literally, if you count breaking up a Bilica squabble. Oh, Syd, listen," she smacked her friend excitedly on the arm, "There's a dead tree fallen in the forest. It's got all kinds of mushrooms and bugs and shit eating it. Very, like, 'ashes to ashes,' you know? Thought you might wanna draw it or something. Rowan did, but y'know, more of a Darwin's journal scientific sketch. I can show you tomorrow, if you like."

Cheeseman and I aren't popular. That's a bummer.

What. You guys don't like someone that has never known hardship in their life?

@psych0pomp

Audrey likes Ambrose more than you'd expect, but less than he'd probably like.

Audrey is free if anyone else wants to interact a bit before things kick off.

Is it possible for one's eyes to fall out from rolling too much? First Damon turns up with his creepy "m'lady" bullshit. Audrey looked at Odaya and said to her, in a serious tone, "Otter, if a guy talks to you like that, you run the other way, okay?"

As if that isn't enough, Weasel turns up and tries to play the black knight to Damon's white. Still acting like he resolved the situation, as if his brothers' behavior isn't a direct result of the example he sets.

Audrey bit into the apple, not once acknowledging Weasel's remarks, and spoke with her mouth full, "Find better role models, girlie. Everyone here sucks, and I think you know it."

Without further word to the Bilicas, she stalked away through the crowd.

Gonna wait for FadingMemory to post, but I'm sorry to tell Silver that Audrey is absolutely going to make fun of the way Damon is talking.

Forgot to mention folks. Your call if Rowan sticks with Audrey, but I figured we could make new scenes, you know?

Audrey was about to voice the opinion that it was probably about time to head back for the festival anyway, but Isaac Moore turned up quite suddenly. She supposed she shouldn't be surprised to find him out here. Actually, if anything she was the one who was out of place. At least, until Isaias revealed himself. He looked incongruous basically anywhere that his older brother wasn't, and in fact his presence prompted Audrey to glance around, half expecting Weasel to emerge from the underbrush. But Mr. Moore explained that he had gotten separated.

Good, Isaias was a little shit, but without Weasel around he knew better than to cause trouble in front of Audrey, let alone a responsible adult. Audrey liked Mr. Moore, he minded his business and didn't push a lot of crap on the younger generation. Hell, even Hick had his expectations that she found herself having to live up to.

They walked back as a group, Audrey briefly thinking about her father's car parked nearby, but deciding she could go back for it later. Nowhere in town was that long of a walk, anyway.

"I actually like the old rituals and stories, did you know there's almost nothing written down about them in the library? It's all oral history."

As they walked, she chattered with Isaac and his daughter(sparing little attention to the ferret they had hanging on).

~~~

Somehow in the throng that they arrived to, Audrey ended up stuck with Isaias. She wasn't sure if he was following her, or was simply bring pushed by the crowds in the same direction, but either way, she pricked her ears up for the sound of kids being aasholes, and sure enough, she spotted the rest of the Bilica children gathered around the apple bobbing trough.

Audrey marched up, matter-of-factly, and grabbed the back of Odaya's sweater, pulling her out of the water and firmly onto the ground.

"Trade ya," she said, shoving Isaias forward toward his brothers once Odaya was safely on her feet.
