That’s aight lol

((It was ur turn to continue uwu

“Yeah I know it’s not the nicest of places.. I stayed here for a few months so I’m quite used to the smell and dirtiness but.. it safer then being at your guys place,” He mumbled

“Hm..? Yeah no problem..” He mumbled as he put a cigar in his mouth, lighting it with a lighter he pulled from his pockets.

“We can just bunk here for as long as we need.. we just hope they don’t find us here..” He said as he took the cigar out of his mouth and puffed out smoke, his bandages around his eye turned a smoky gray color from the smoke.

“We should be well hidden.. and I’m sorry to break it to you guys but I don’t really have food here.. or water.. or much for that matter.”

“I didn’t pack any.” Tord mumbled, Edd shook his head.

Ringo: give me attention

Edd glared at him angrily and Tord rolled his eye, “Good thing I brought a gun.. little hunting wouldn’t hurt anybody.”

Ringo: meow meow meow meow >:(

“Ehhh I don’t trust you with a gun.” Tord huffed. Edd grabbed Ringo and placed her on his lap.

Ringo: *sticks up the bird*

Ringo: *purrs*

“Matt. I’m hoping you won’t be a dumbass for once like I knew you as and will help me hunt.”

Ringo: *the fuk they doin over dere?*

Ringo: *hungry Ringo noises* *looks up at Edd* foooooooooooooooood

Edd watched the three of them. This was just like how they used to be.. back then. Tord and Tom always arguing, Matt doing something stupid.. “C’mon Matt. I hope you know how to work a shot gun.”

“Of course I do dumbass.” He grumbled. He grabbed the shotgun from where it was leaning against the wall, loading it.

Ringo: *jumps off of Edd's lap and goes to Tom and sits next to him*

“Alright Matt. Come along.” He marched out of the barn, the shotgun in his arms.

Ringo: *purrs and rubs against Tom's legs*

Ringo: *just vibin'*

He scented around the air, listening for any sound of animals they could eat, the shotgun ready in his arms.

Ringo: *plz don't eat me if you can't find any food*

Edd snapped out of his memories, “Well as of now we just have Ringo to entertain us.” “No, no you don’t. I need you to be live bait..”

Ringo: if im live bait will i get pats?

“You’re not going to die.. you’ll be fine. Don’t worry I’ll keep you safe.. now you see that herd of moose over there.. off in the distance? I need you to go piss them off.”

Edd pat Ringo on the head softly as he waited. He waited for him.

*ringo has the thing Snowball from Rick and Morty has. "Where are my balls, Summer?*

Edd raised a brow.

Ringo: what does....................... shit mean

Tord facepalmed in annoyance but aimed his shot.

Ringo: yes perish

He aimed his shot and timed it perfectly. Shooting. The moose fell limp from the shot. It was dead. The rest of the herd had fled from the noise.

Ringo: *tramatic veitnam war flashbacks*

“Ah! Nice shot.” He complimented himself.

Ringo: *dies*

Ringo: goodbye son, we'll meet again

He walked over to the dead moose, grabbing a pocket knife and cutting it open.

He took the part of the inside in which they would be able to eat, “Matt, you better help me carry this shit.”

The grabbed what they needed and made their way back to the barn.

Both of them were a bloody mess, but Tord didn’t really care as much.

“Matt go clean yourself up.. there’s a pond nearby..”

He cleaned himself with his hands.

“Tom.. would you shut up..” he grumbled.

((Tord lmao He rolled his eyes, “Well the least you could do is not be a dick and share.”

He flipped him off, walking over to him and smearing what blood was left on him onto Tom.

He chuckled evilly.

Tord blinked in surprise.

He chuckled, “He’s on his man period.”

He chuckled as he lit another cigar, resting himself on a haystack.

“OW WHAT THE **** TOM-“ He grunted.

((Oops sorry ^^ He growled as he punched him back.

He growled as he stared down at him angrily.

He glared from behind him, watching him go.

He puffed out smoke.

He sighed to himself quietly.

((Oop He overheard Matt, who sounded scared. He raised a brow.

He jumped at the loud noise.

“Matt? What’s wrong?” He asked curiously.

He looked out at the barn door, confused.

His eye widened in surprise.

He slowly grabbed his shotgun, “What.. is.. that..thing..”

“OH GOD-“

((Lmao

“OW- BAD TOM!”

((Watching, eating popcorn lmao He loaded his shotgun in fear, shooting the monster in the arm.

“MATT!”

He growled as he gripped onto the large monster tail.

He grabbed his pocket knife, stabbing him in the tail.

He was slammed into the barn wall, his head began to bleed as he fell unconscious.

He was limp, his breath short.

“...”

His body was limp and cold in Matt’s arms.

“...”

((Hahaha Tord’s dead. “Hey what’s going on in he-“ Edd stopped at what he saw.

Edd’s eyes widened.

“I-is he..?”

((😎😎 Edd stared at Tom in surprise.

((quietly does anywAY- we’ll bring him back somehow lmao Edd leaned down besides Tord’s body.

“I-is.. he.. dead..?” Edd gulped.

Edd slowly shook his head, tears fell down his cheeks.

“No Matt..” He grabbed his shoulder softly, “He’s gone..”

Edd stared down at the lifeless body.

((Ack okie lmao

Edd slowly nodded as he continued to stare.

“W-what even happened to him..?” Edd asked in concern.

“Nobody gonna tell me then..?”

Edd raised a brow, interested in what Matt had to say.

Edd’s eyes widened, “T-Tom?!”

Edd stared at Tom in disappoint, he understand Tom still couldn’t quite control his monster form but.. now his friend.. who had finally just returned was now in front of them. Dead.

“W-wait Tom!” He called after him but he was gone, he grunted as he got up and chased after him.

He chased Tom into the woods as quick as he could.

He finally caught up to Tom and grabbed his shoulder.

He glared into his black eyes.

“Tom..” He pulled his friend into a hug.

He hugged him tightly, “Why did you kill Tord,.” He asked quietly.

“It’s okay..”

He gently hugged him for a few minutes until releasing him.

He smiled at him, as he followed.

“Well.. would should we do about his body.. there’s no way to bring him back..right..?”

Edd frowned as he pat Matt’s back sympathetically.

Edd hugged Matt gently as Tord’s body laid in front of them, cold and limp.

Tord’s eye looked like as if it were looking at something faraway.. like right through the three of them.

Edd frowned at Tom.

“Yeah..”

Edd glanced back at Matt one more time before waking away.

“There has to be some way to bring Tord back..”

He bit his lip nervously.

“I’m pretty sure he’s dead Tom..his body was ice cold plus.. he just had that glazed dead look.. plus he already smells rotten.”

He frowned as he looked away from the body.

“Mm.. maybe..”

He just plopped down his head down on his backpack.

Edd stared up at the dirty barn ceiling tiredly.

Edd slowly fell asleep, but he swore.. before he drifted into sleep he almost saw some sort of red hooded ghost looking down at him..

Edd was already awake, petting Ringo.

Edd sighed, “We should really do something about it before this whole barn smells like the dead.”

“I don’t really want to touch it though..”

“Hm?”

“Really Matt?”

“Alright then..”

“Anywhere.. just out of here..”

“That might be the smartest thing to do..” A silhouette watched them from above. Staring down at the three of them, their ghostly body hidden in the trees.

“I will..” Edd suggested as he grabbed a shovel out of nowhere, beginning to dig. The spirit floated over to them. None of them could see him as he tried to get their attention.

After awhile the hole was perfectly fit for the body.

((Aight

((Ayeeee Edd stared down at the body as he began to cover it back it in dirt.

He pat Matt on the back sadly as the job was finished.

((Ahahahaha Edd put both his arms around their necks softly as all three of them stared down at the grave, sprinkles of rain fell from the sky.

“Yeah.. I think we should..”

“I’ll go next.. Tord has been my friend since I can ever remember.. we’ve had our disagreements and fights but in the end he did things that would make me happy after upsetting me.. even if he did destroy the house.. he still has a place in my heart and always will.”

((Heehee

Edd patted his back as he cried quietly.

Edd touched the grave softly with his hand, crying.

((Lmao He wiped his eyes and agreed with Tom, slowly walking back inside.

The spirit quietly watched over the three of them, mumbling to himself quietly.

“What do you mean..?” He raised a brow.

The spirts eyes widened, they could feel him! His plan was working, now all he had to do was get into one of their dreams.

“Huh..? I swear I saw something red watching over me before I fell asleep last night..”

Edd nodded.

“I think we should,”

Edd nodded. The spirit circled around them, waving its ghostly arms trying to get their attention.

The spirit stopped, realizing Tom was looking straight at him.

Edd raised a brow and looked where Tom was looking, not seeing anything.

The sprints eyes widened as he waved his hand in Tom’s face.

((*Spirits lmao oops The spirit backed away in surprise, staring at his ghostly pale hands.

“Are you seeing things again Tom?” Edd asked, worried.

“I can’t..see anything..?” Edd said, confused.

The spirit looked around nervously, this was the first time he actually tried speaking, “Hello?” His voice sounded distant and like a faded echo.

“I-I heard it too!” Edd exclaimed in surprise. The spirit covered his mouth. That accent sounded very familiar to all three of them.

“Yeah.. that sounded a lot like Tord- wait.. do you think-“

The spirit gathered it’s energy again to blurt out, “it’s Tord stupid!”

Edd’s eyes widened, “T-Tord is that really you?”

“You know what happened! Some monster thing killed me!” He said, not realizing that the monster was Tom.

((Crap I gtg, I’ll be back tomorrow so we can continue ^^ goodnight

He stared at them both, raising a brow. Edd just face palmed.

“What? Nobody gonna talk now?” He echoed in confusion. “Tord uh.. about that monster..” Edd started but trailed off, staring over at Tom.

“You know! We’ll have Tom explain!” Edd said as he smiled nervously at Tom.

Edd shrugged as he chuckled nervously.

Tord’s ghostly white eyes widened, “W-what?! Seriously? Don’t be ridiculous!”

Tord stared at Tom, realizing he was serious.

Tord stared down at the ground, his eyes wide. He reached his arm to grip where his heart would be but it just went through his ghostly body.

“Do I look like I would know..” His voice was low and echoed with sadness.

He looked away, not saying anything else.

“Yeah! There has to be some way.” Edd exclaimed hopefully.

Edd nodded, agreeing with Tom.

Edd shrugged, “Beats me.”

“Well.. all I remember after dying was some strange place.. it sure didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen.. all I can remember about it is that it was very gray and there was a huge rock that was pink, it was glowing..”

Edd shook his head.

Tord jumped at Tom’s sudden anger, “I-I don’t know!”

“I-I’m sure there is but for now.. I really wouldn’t know..”

Edd and Tord both shook their heads.

“EXPLORING MONTAGE!” Edd said excitedly. Tord just stared at the two with the “wtf” expression.

Edd stared at Tom, wondering where he is getting all this bread but ignored it. Tord floated up in the air lightly, ready to travel.

Edd followed them, Tord floated through the trees next to them.

((Dude I badly wanna do like a detailed drawing from a scene in this rp on procreate but I dunno which one lmao “Well.. it did sort of look like one.. I never really got the chance to look at my full surroundings.. only what was in front of me.”

Edd nodded, “Yeah that might be our best bet.”

“Do I look like I know?” Tord huffed.

He glared at Tom angrily.

He mumbled quietly to himself in anger, floating behind them.

Tord raised a brow as he slowly floated in.

He looked around, “I mean... I guess it’s looks sorta familiar..”

“Hmm.. well this stone isn’t really glowing.. it’s pink but..”

“Hmm.. I dunno..”

((Aight
