Hello? Is There Someone Else Here? -Anon-Google

Hello jims! Do you guys each of a number like Jim 1, Jim 2, ETC?

°Hello. CJ glances at the mattress again before looking back at you. Well at this point in our lives we go by CJ or RJ, it's just easier and more informative to go by the letter of your profession or interest followed by the J. We just use Jim for eachother or other family, really it's outside of realatives that anyone calls us by nicknames like that.°

°He pauses. Though with nicknames like Jim One and Jim Two it'd be perfect Halloween costume as Thing One and Thing Two. He smiles. Though if you're asking specifically if we're numbered? No, we are all just Jim and any nicknames we get along the way.°

*the kitten looked him dead in the eye, feeling his soul moving inside.* mew *they hopped. this kitten is a different kitten*

*the intensity in their eyes was somewhat unnerving, not to mention it had actually heard what he said and acted on it. He glanced behind him through the 'window' (it was really just a rectangular hole that let him see the front door)*

"Hey Jim? Could you come here?"

°CJ slipped into the kitchen, looking inquisitive. Yeah?°

"...I think this cat actually figured out door knobs."

°I mean yeah, they did get in. What do you mean?°

"...I asked them if they wanted raw or cooked, said hop for cooked and sneeze for raw. Bean looked dead at me and hopped."

°...Guess they want cooked?°

"Well yeah I got /that/ part I dunno, I think I've been up for to long..? Everything feels off now."

°He pauses for a moment, then pulls out a pocket recorder and trains the view onto the kitten. Maybe, it is late after all... Might as well give the little one some meat for now.°

*a nod*

"Yeah- here. Hope it's good Bean."

*he puts the plate in front of the kitten. There's a medium sized burger patty on it now.*

°Is their name 'Bean' now?°

"I mean, unless you can think of something better?"

°Not really, are they ok with the name? If not I'm calling them Snow Ear°

"...Isn't that a fungus you liked in middle school or something?"

°...Not what I meant.°

"..Host? Host is that you?! Are you ok? Where are you?!"

*the question is reflexive, not like there are any landmarks or obvious places the reporter can see, but it made sense just in case he could follow Host's voice*

°CJ stops staring at the snake for a second. The Host? He's ok? There's a spark of hope in his eyes.°

"Void Residents? Who are-"

*CJ manages to land on their back, still curled protectively around his camera, RJ lands on his end*

"Ow-! Wait, unconcious? Why would we be-..Jim?"

*CJ hands over his camera to RJ, who's more than a little shocked to be actually holding it. CJ looks directly at the snake and begins to sign.*

°Ok you look here you vantablack worm, you aren't getting away clean with this. I don't care who you work for, especially if you're so wrapped around their fingers that they've got you doing their dirty work, all I care about is that you're out here, stealing people and bringing them to lose who they are. My name is Jim, my brother is Jim, and we'll get out of here one way or another.°

((Admin check! ... ~Mun))

(∆Doing ok at the moment! Better now that I'm home, thanks, you doing well?∆)

"Ok, we're in a light patch too but no papers. And yeah, CJ is here too- where are you Google? Have either of you guys heard anyone else?"

meow *he nuzzles in his hair and starts to sleep* mew mew mew. mew mew mew mew mew. mew? mew mew mew mew mew mew mew. *He is The Void. The. Whole. Void. but, he just wants a nap*

"Ok-

-ok, I, I don't speak cat, so I'm going to draw from that, that you are but you're not going to hurt us, I'm trusting this conclusion for now."

°Is- Is my hair really that comfortable??°

"It is soft Jim."

*there's a moment*

"Wow these past- I don't even know, it's been... wow."

°...yeah.°

*...*

°...I think I'm going to move very slowly and sit down on the couch. Would it.. would you be... Is it ok if-?°

"..Yeah?"

°Do you think you could, maybe, run to the store? We probably need cat supplies...?°

"Oh, yeah, right, will you be ok?"

°I will be ok, I'm an adult Jim.°

"Yeah, ok, I should be back soon, stay safe, call if anything happens, you know where the flashligh-"

°Jim?°

"Yeah?"

°It will be ok, I promise.°

*RJ gets an odd look about him for a moment, looking like that reassurance had hit a little harder than intended, but he blinks a few times and straightens up*

"Ok, yeah, I'll be back soon."

*RJ heads for the door, unlocking each lock before going out*

"See you, bro."

°See you, brother.°

I.. I couldn’t see what street he was on initially.. I’ll look around. *She goes back to RJ and tried to look for a street sign* -Neb

*The street signs looks like it says Ashworth and Ridge, but you can't completely tell, as for some reason they seem to blur and shift, letters missing or a new word. Ashworth, or at the very least "Ash" is the most common, and the "R" never leaving from the other*

*the sirens are muffled, the world is muted, a fog that settles over everything like an illusionary blanket. RJ stares into an allyway, opening up and gaping like an infinite serpent's mouth. Does he stay here?*

*...It seems strange. What even happened? He'd been on a bit of an untitled wild goose chase, and had ended up in the city to buy supplies for.. a cat? He'd been heading home when... Something... Now he felt weird, like a dream, like he was both very alone and being watched. Something with reflective eyes peaked out from behind a trashcan lid, and he starts spying more collections of eyes watching him from every dark corner, not all were coming in pairs of two.*

*Oddly enough, the allyway lacked the weird peering eyes that the area behind him was rapidly filling with. Not sure what he's supposed to be doing, he moves forward a little towards the dark maw, not quite catching on to the fact that he can't feel the few footsteps he took.*

Me:

*There's an exaggerated "R U N" from the living room as CJ tries not to laugh. No emergency then. That was a weird day if it actually happened.*

*a wild demon appears*

*A wild Jim blinks in confusion.*

°Hello there?°
