Well, he still did have Blythe's card and name. Or they're probably around, doing whatever weird stuff that warranted whatever strange things they say. ...still, it can't hurt to ask if they got eggs to sell.

{ @local-sane-farmer.bsky.social } “The farmer? Oh, that reminds me… Mom told me to pick up eggs on the way home.”

Blythe stared at Adam, eyes a bit wide now and for a moment, they thought he was joking... Until they realized he wasn't and the farmer went silent. "...werewolf? Like actual shapeshifting to a wolf creature kind?" They ask, their defenses raising but they just...don't see themselves hurting Adam.

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

He made a whining noise, fearing more. But he had to trust them. After one more piece of chocolate he would swallow that and that anxious feeling. "I did this to myself... I- I'm a werewolf... P-please don't be afraid of me though! I-I don't wanna hurt anyone!"

Blythe chuckled and nodded, handing over the bag, "Okay, okay. You worry too much, I'm just trying to be a good neighbor is all but I'm glad to have a kind and optimistic person like you around." They smile and continue to take them to their house, looking a bit embarrassed as they gestured to it.

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

"You're awesome for this, really! My daughter's gonna love them. And I'll try to befriend your pets while I stay here— I'll probably get along with one of them for sure." Adam then offered his hand to help carry the bags. "Please let me carry those for you. I'd feel bad if I didn't help."

Slips—

"Nothing to apologize for." Blythe stated firmly, looking over and smiling a bit, "It's okay, Adam. Seriously. You're my friend and it's only right that I help you. Besides, I'd feel terrible if I don't." They sigh and move to sit beside Adam this time, taking some chocolate for themselves.

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

He was so stressed out over something back at home. Of course he bites himself to ease it... He wished he doesn't sometimes. "Hey, I wanna just.. I wanna say thank you for helping me and I'm sorry for being a bother."

"I hope so. My cat loves to bite and my pink brain loves to hide in my laundry." Blythe sighed and smiled, "Also, don't worry. I bake sometimes and make candy for myself. I don't mind making you some and maybe you can share them with your daughter too."

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

Adam frowns, pouting over there possibly not going to be many sweets around stores and dining places like he had hoped. But then he perked up once he heard Blythe making homemade sweets! "Yay! That'll be wonderful! But as for your pets... I'm sure they'll get along with me eventually!"

Blythe nodded and groaned, getting up and leaning into Proton's hold for support. They are positively shitfaced "Mm... They always come in anyways... The rats, the creeps and shit... Doesn't matter h-how safe I try t-to make it..." They sniffle, frowning, "They always come in..."

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 2d ago

[Hovering over the farmer, he can't help but chuckle.] That's the muscle. Dense, right? C'mon, lets get you up. Gotta close the window before something gets in. [He gets off of them, and offers a hand.]

"Perfect. Just give them a good stab and we can skin them later. For now, I'm gonna water the plants." Blythe paused and looked at the knives, frowning before handing him a...spiked bat they picked up sat against the farm fence, "Also, if you spot something strange, call me immediately."

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 2d ago

Does it matter how? Got some knives on me, I could slice them up. [He takes out one of his knives for emphasis, and holds it out so Blythe can see.]

Blythe paused and sighed, holding their hands up, "Yeah, sure, fine. Whatever you say. Get out then." Rolling their eyes, they began to check the corpse and got some money, some weird bottle, and- "Woah. Soulfruit seeds." They grin and pocket it immediately, soon covering the body with a cloth.

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 2d ago

Who said I have to help you? I don't need to tell you anything. [He crosses his arms, definitely not helping with this.] Told you my job's done...

Blythe nodded and smiled, leaning back in their armchair while adjusting the strap of their tank top, "Of course. Just don't eat too much, yeah?" Looking closely, Blythe had a binder on and wore sweatpants. Multiple scars littered their body, some deep and others recent.

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

Piece of chocolate at the same time. "Yummy! The chocolate is delicious! Thank you for the drink and sweets."

"Oh, right." Blythe smiled, "Well, we have a saloon and a mall but they're not exactly big on sweets. The anomaly shop comes by sometimes so let's hope he comes when you're around." They soon picked up the bagged goods and said goodbye to the cashier, leaving the store.

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

"Mmm coffee with both..." He was lost in thought for a moment before he shook his head. "I was here visiting. Wanting to see what local sweets you have to offer."

I can't sleep. It's getting harder to do so with so much noises outside... ... I'm actually scared.

"Uh, I got a box of chocolates." Blythe nodded and hummed, "And some nice, cold beer. We'll have those." They headed for the kitchen, grabbing the beer and chocolate. Looking at Blythe, it's strange to see them out of their usual coat and scarf as they handed the goods.

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

"Do you... Uh, have any alcohol that would go great in hot chocolate?" A strange request, but he wanted alcohol and something sweet. "But if you don't, I can have a beer and something to snack on. If that's okay."

"Then, I'll get both and we can share them later," Blythe smiled and picked up the box of creamers, "Here we go. Let's buy some spices too and we can go." They brought the stuff back to the cashier, paying up, "Anyways... What did you say you wanted to do here in Elderfield again?"

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

Adam ended up following Blythe like a lost puppy, trying to stay out of their way at least. "Heh.. um... I'll take vanilla or caramel. I'm not too picky! But it's your money too, so get what you like!"

"Good." Blythe sighed and frowned, genuinely worried as they finished up fixing up Adam's wounds. People of Elderfield are used to all the things happening so in some way, they know how to defend themselves. So Blythe couldn't help but be scared that a new friend might just die out there...

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 2d ago

You present..."

"Hey, it's nothing to apologize for." Blythe laughed and actually petted his head, "If anything, I seriously appreciate it. As for not buying..." The farmer looked around and made sure they steered clear of the stranger parts of the tiny shop before finding the aisle, "Vanilla creamer, right?"

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 3d ago

"Ah, sorry, I get that way at times. Not sure why though..." He then looked around as he stood there, shrugging. "I don't think I'll buy anything just yet. I'll come back tomorrow to look again for something!"

"What?? Did you attempt the Silly Dog ritual or something????" Blythe stared, bewildered and concerned now as they kept treating Adam's wounds, "That is so dangerous. Granted, I've done it before but that's because I can beat it by myself. But you??? Or a normal citizen?? You're lucky you got away."

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 3d ago

He's shifting in his seat as he's trying to figure out the best lie to tell about the bites. He really should say what did that. "It was a dog-creature. Um, not so friendly under stress I guess." He's definitely describing himself at this point. But he seems to keep his gaze to the floor.

"Uhh...sooouuuullllfruit wine I maaade...?" Blythe slurred, face red, eyes staring at the ceiling, and their hand pointed at a bottle of wine on the bedroom center table. "...it's...powerfulll..." They mutter, "And expensiivvee.... I shoulda sold it and...I coulda gotten more shtuff..."

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 3d ago

[He was thrown off-guard being pulled so suddenly, he didn't have any time to react or brace himself. He slowly sits up, shaking his head to clear it.] Augh... What did you drink? I can smell it all the way over here... And do you have any more?

"Yeah... I suppose. Some company is always nice." Blythe paused and slowed the bike, spotting the fields from afar. They hummed, staring before spotting little silhouettes moving around the other crops. "Yeah, there they are... Some of my crops are wandering now. Uhh, you wanna handle them?"

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 3d ago

That time of year, I guess. But we got each other to keep warm, right? Not so bad if you think about it like that. [His eyes were on the changing scenery as they sped down the road. He's not very familiar with the area, so this is all new to him.]

Blythe nodded and paused, frowning, "Hey, wait a minute, you wanted to kill the fake doctor... Why? And plus, you have to help me clean this all up." They sighed and crouched, taking their knife out and beginning to...actually decapitate the head of the shapeshifter. "Come on, let's hurry."

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 3d ago

I don't usually have polite conversations with things that want to kill me, no... [He kicks at the body curiously.] Weird thing. But I guess my job is done here. [He shrugs and sighs, not really regarding Blythe anymore.]

Why are we suddenly sexually charged? Or is it just me?

📱 ur lcly u r cutteee 📱 Ommw And suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps tumbling around in the darkness. Out of nowhere, the window opened and a hand reached out to pull Proton in— "Oof!" A groan came from Blythe's lips, not meaning to pull so hard that they got Proton falling ontop!

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 4d ago

📱— If you don't want to help me, I might break your window open... 📱— If I was a shapeshifter, how would I even text you anyway?

But Blythe can be dumb and honestly, they thought that Proton just wants to hang out. Not go on dates but the way the other man is holding their waist... The farmer turned as red as a bloodberry, tensing slightly as they balanced the bike, "O-Okay, hold on tight." And they began to ride.

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 4d ago

[Proton hops on the back, grabbing onto their waist as he gets comfortable.] I make no promises~ [He only teases. He wouldn't do that, especially after asking for a date with no ulterior motives.]

Although the body went limb, already suffering from the agony of the poison, the head was still moving... And Blythe slipped their knife across the shapeshifter's jugular—cut through it like butter. Blood spurted and the head finally began to fly around, twitching and screaming.

Deadly Rocket@dropofblood.bsky.social · 4d ago

Without missing a beat, Proton rushes in from the side while it was distracted by the prey in front of it, and he jabs his syringe in the base of its neck, and pushes the plunger all the way down.] What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?

"Oh man..." Blythe frowned as they helped Adam sit on the sofa of their living room while pulling their bag closer to the injured man, "What happened to you?" Immediately, the farmer is thinking of where Adam probably wandered off to... The Old Woods? The Sewers? The Mall?

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 4d ago

But now he's with Blythe, hoping they could help him out with bandaging his arm. He's trying to hide a secret, but it might come up in conversations today.

"Peach and lemon tea. I'll buy two of both." Blythe nodded and smiled, chuckling, "You're...really excitable, huh?" They didn't mean it in a bad way but it was just refreshing compared to the usual interactions they had with the locals on Elderfield. "What are you buying?"

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 4d ago

Adam walked over as he heard Blythe talking about peach, and it made him curious. He approached and would look over their shoulder. "Peach? Ohhh, you should get that! A little bit of sugar and it should be perfect with some cookies or scones!"

And Blythe looked too, surprised that there is actually a restock of things to buy other than the dull and usual. "Huh, what do you know... They got chocolate bars now. Oh, and here's the sugar... Hmm, and some tea here." They smiled, checking out all the tea blends available, "Ooh, peach."

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 4d ago

Adam jumped and stepped back a little upon seeing and hearing it crumble. A little timid at times... But then he would walk into the store, looking around inside after waving at the cashier to be friendly. He was already trying to find the creamer, hoping there's a caramel or a new flavor to try.

"You'll be a bit disappointed." Blythe chuckled and led them to it, passing by a tall row of fences that separated them from what seems to be a large lake... Ahead, the road actually crumbles and breaks towards the foggy lakeside with a tall drop. "Yeah, I don't know why they haven't fixed that."

Adam Sorrell@ascaryw0rld.bsky.social · 4d ago

"Ohhh, chocolate... That makes the coffee a mocha! Hehe." He looked over at the store and would already walk right on over— he is a little impatient. Guess he just wants to shop! "C'mon let's go in! I'm excited to see what's all here!" And now he's jumping like a excited puppy—
