“Ohhhhh,” Richie groans, but obediently rolls over onto his back so he’s looking up at Claudia. “I just don’t wanna do anything today.”

“noooooooooooooo.” Richie mumbles again.

“mmmmph. I don’t wanna get up.”

lying face down on the sidewalk.

Richie lets him hug him, entirely numb. “I got rid of him. I got… he’s gone. He has to be.”

The door slams open. Richie stands in the doorway, drenched in water and green blood. “He… he’s gone,” Richie manages to whisper. “I… I got rid of him. I did it. I did it…”

“Oh, kid,” Miss Holloway says with a deep sigh. “I’m sorry, but… Wiggog took him. I’ve contacted General McNamara, and he’s going to help, I promise. I’ve contacted everyone I know who can help!”

Richie clutches the book to his chest, and sinks down into the mud. He finally looks behind him to see Wiggly crouching there with a smile. “You said you’d give anything,” Wiggly laughs. “So I’ll take you. You’ll see Ascelin tomorrow, and you’ll be ALL MINE.” Richie shakes his head. “I said I’d +

“It doesn’t matter!” Richie says desperately. Thunder crackles again, lightning splitting the sky. “It — it doesn’t matter, you you need to get to Miss Retro’s! Miss Holloway, please — please help him!” Richie backs away, grabbing the Black Book. “I — I’ll be right there!”

@eyes-for-disguise.bsky.social // starter “So I kind of ordered…. Five thousand Naruto figures? By accident?”

“Ash!” Richie screams. He drops the Black Book and rushes to Ash’s side, struggling to help him up. “Come on, I’m taking you to Miss Retro’s! Get up, I — I’ll help you, I swear! You’ll — you’ll be okay —“ “RICHARD!” Miss Holloway yells, running up to them. “What did you promise him?!” +

“Richard Lipschitz!” Miss Holloway raises her voice as he runs out of the diner. Richie ignores her, stuck in his one goal no matter what. “WIGGLY!” He yells wildly, running out into the woods. “WIGGOG Y’WRATH, WIGGOG Y’WRATH, WIGGOG Y’WRATH!” Thunder breaks the sky open and rain starts to pelt +

Pete is quickly thrown up next to Ace, completing this horror show. Blinky does appear, and decides to show Ascelin exactly what he promised: the inside of Miss Retro’s, with Richie fast asleep in the booth. Richie wakes up next morning, groggy but presented with a cup of tea and Miss Holloway, +

Tinky just giggles, measuring a comedically giant hook from the ceiling. “Never! Never never never! Ohhhh Wiggly’s going to DESTROY you now that your wittle BOYFRIEND’S gone too! I’m just doing you a favor!” He sneers, then snaps his fingers. Peter appears, absolutely covered in gold blood. +

Richie reads the note, and quickly grows hysterical. He tries to race out the door, yelling about the Black and T’noy Karaxis, and even attempts to GET WIGGLY HERE. None of it works whatsoever. Miss Holloway is forced to cast a sleeping spell so Richie actually sleeps and calms down. He +

“Dancing! For the football game!”

@anthr0p0phagite.bsky.social “Mr. Tomio? I brought over some cat food. Where do you want me to leave it?”

Awww :(

Okay! — wait, almost? (He’s already crossed the threshold.)

Oh okay…. If you’re sure…? And you won’t leave, right?!

“Hmmm,” Tinky laughs. “You’re as much MINE as you are Wiggly’s! And I want to take YOU for a spin. Come along, Ascelin!” Tinky leers at Richie, who shrinks backwards. “And YOU…” Tinky grabs Richie’s arm anyways, dragging him out. “Changed my mind! Come play with my toys!” He cackles. Richie +

@lillianisley.bsky.social / starter “Hello?” Richie cautiously knocks on the door of the laboratory. “Hello, is anyone here? I… I’m here for the college credit class? With um… Dr… Isley?”

… you have a deal.

“Thanks…” Richie mumbles, not really believing Adam. “For the record! Neither would I!”

His face puckers and stretches, revealing mini clocks that dissipate into flesh. Tinky screams and lets go to clutch at his face. “Ohhh you little SHIT! I’d like to see how you LOOK hanging on a HOOK!” He reaches for the cage, pulling the bars apart like silly putty as he reaches for Ash. “My +

Richie simply lunges for Ume with a snarl, hands shaped into claws. "I don't CARE if it does! What has ANYONE HERE ever done for me?!"

“N-no, don’t say that,” Richie says desperately. “I — I’m sorry. I’m just thinking outloud. It — it doesn’t mean anything.” He leans against the cool bars again with a sigh. The ticking of a clock interrupts him, and the next thing he knows, his arm is being pulled through the cage and bitten +

“I —“ He glances over at the man, fear making him stiffen. Should he tell the truth? Why does he think his new friend would immediately pin him as weak? Richie bites his lip. “… yes, I can. He — he’s not really a bully, he’s just annoying. Sometimes I’m just dramatic. Haha!” Another awkward bite.

UH YEAH! Did you see who it was??
