action / text / video / etc.
NOTE: I am forever backtag friendly and absolutely open to doing things from past events that won't really have an effect on things at any given time. For example, if you'd like to do something with Peter aged down or when he was his spider dream guide, etc.

Ruby, hey
It's good to hear from you

[ Good that you're still here. ]

I'm hanging in there, but what about you? Are you doing okay?
And no, I'm just kind of sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing

[onekindsoul]

Good to hear from you too.
You aren't getting rid of me that easy.

[Or at least she's not planning on going home anytime soon.]

I'm glad you're doing alright. You and Luna keeping busy?
I'm doing okay. Just been doing the whole trying not to die in a crumbling world thing.
It's working out pretty okay so far.

I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk or something?
Maybe hit up the ruins of the school with spray paint???
Could be our last chance to do it.

[ There's a secret little smile to himself at that. Peter's... not accepted what's happening, not exactly, but he isn't fighting it. He's never been one to fight against it. Everything's ending, fading. Soon, he will too. ]

Yeah, I'm still staying with her, and we're helping out anyone who still needs it around here
I'm glad the crumbling world hasn't gotten you yet
But I'm not surprised, you're one of the toughest people I know

[ He wants to ask Ruby the question that's right there in his mind, but he can't. Not yet. ]

Oh
Oh yeah, I'd really like that
I can meet you up at the school in like an hour or something, if you want me to?

[onekindsoul]

You know what? I'm glad to hear it.
You two have been really good for one another. And it's pretty awesome the two of you are helping out other people around. It says a whole lot about the both of you.

Not yet! A couple crumbling buildings tried but they have to get up pretty early in the morning to get the jump on Ruby Rose!
I guess that does make me pretty tough. Like a super tough cookie. With big flexing arms.

Yeah.
That would be great. I'll be there in a jiffy.
I'll get my backpack and we'll hit it up.

[And she's there before the hour is up. Sitting on some rubble with a backpack just filled with spray paint cans. Go big or go home, right?]

Thanks, Ruby
You too, you know? I know you're out there running around helping people, too
A giant cookie with big arms, saving people who need to be scooped up

[ It's nice to be dumb sometimes, even when the literal world is ending. ]

I'll meet you there
Be safe

[ Peter'll grab a backpack too, toss in a couple of bottles of water and snacks for them. And a single spray paint can of his own: the sole one that he'd taken from his house, one of Henry's. Bright, bright orange. It made him think of her the most. With that, he heads out, carefully, but the fog has all lifted now, and those monsters seem to be gone, too. The town is so silent and still; the skies are strange. There's an odd calm to it, despite everything.

Peter takes a deep breath as he nears the high school. He hasn't been here since the nightmare that was prom happened, and it only looks worse, now. Crumbling in, all but ruined. The boy soon enough spots a flash of red and heads to where Ruby's perched on some rubble, offering a grim little smile — but there's a warmth in it. He really is glad she's still here; it feels that little bit like home, still, having a friend with him. ]

You ready to live the delinquent life?

action!

[onekindsoul]

[After everything they along with all of their friends had been through in Deerington, it said a lot that they could still joke around like this. It made it feel more worthwhile to know that glimmer of hope was still there.

Ruby's nibbling on some cookies while she waits but she hears his voice and looks up with a bright smile. Her mechanical eye glows a few shades brighter when she sees her friend there.

She stands up and quickly reaches up to put a hand on his shoulder. She was glad he was still there too.]

Of course I am!

Kind of a shame there isn't going to be anyone around to freak out about it. But- We get to leave our mark here anyways.

So it all works out, right?

[possessum]

[ Cookies. Of course Ruby has some. Peter's smile grows a little as his friend greets him, reaching his hand up to briefly touch hers in exchange, a little affectionate gesture. And then he extends that further, actually taking the girl's hand and giving it a soft, comforting squeeze before letting go. ]

Yeah, you're right. At least we'll know.

[ Leaving his mark isn't typically Peter's style; he's almost the opposite there. He doesn't like to leave evidence that he was ever somewhere, likes to live as... lowkey as possible, sticking to shadow. Preferring to be easily looked over.

But this is.... different. This is something he wants to do for Henry, and with Ruby. The boy smiles gently again before sliding his backpack around to tug his sole orange spray can out. ]

This was uh, one of Henry's. I know she'd approve of spraying up the high school. She hated it here.

[ She'd still go, though. To keep an eye on him. ]
