billy is unbrainblocked bc steve arbitrarily said so (βΏβ βΏβ )β₯
unblocked you say??? hmm
it's a trial run that will last as long as billy's not fucking annoying π
I'll be there in five, so get your ass out of bed.
start the clock π°οΈ

( could he do that alone? sure. but why would he do it alone when he could make Billy do it with him. this castle wigs Steve out, and if he's on his own the chances are too high he'll freak at a shadow and forget what he's doing in the first place. )

[ It's a lot easier to be annoying than remember howβ how it was to hear that thing. What he thought and how he felt. ]
Why do you wanna go through a dead chick's things?

( there's a little waver. a tiny hint of anxiety wiggling through the connection, because oh. Steve has such shitty time concept rn. how long HAS it been? how many sleeps??? he doesn't even have a good guess. )
However long we've been here.
no subject
That's how I'd feel, if it happened again.

Look. I'm not trying to be an asshole here. But you don't know how she feels just because you know how you feel.
no subject
Harrington, your asshole is showing.
How many people did she kill anyway? What makes you think she can come back from that? How many arms did she have? That wasn't a person.
no subject
Look man. I don't know. I don't know if she can or not. I don't know if she's awake in there, if she knows what happening or if she'll remember any of it or ... or if there's nothing left of her at all. I don't know jack shit.
But if she is in there. We shouldn't just give up on her. If there's a chance then we gotta try. ( Steve has spent 5 fog years running back into mortal danger for slugged Dwights. as far as he's concerned, this isn't really any different. ) So are you coming or not.
no subject
I don't know what the fuck you mean 'gotta try.' Gotta try, what, Harrington? But yeah, yeah, I'll come dig through her shit with you.
I wanna see what you're gonna do when there's only one thing to try.

( while "so I can be smug about this later" is a bad reason to do something, Billy still qualifies as a warm body so Steve will allow it. he really doesn't like wandering the castle alone. βΉοΈ )
no subject
Where the hell is your room. I can't find anything in this freaky fucking castle.

instead, Billy just gets to snack on the sharp crack of annoyance. and the tiiiiiny trickle of anxiety, because... because he used to be good at this. he used to know every street of Hawkins, inside and out. he could get any girl to Skull Rock, no matter where they started around Lover's Lake. but he's so used to everything shifting and moving around him, nothing ever the same twice, it's like he forgot how object permanence works. follow the fruit paintings until you see the weird baby shouldn't be that hard. and yet... )
If you're coming, meet me at the dining hall. ( brain feed OFF. no room for rebuttal. )
A MESSAGE
When he wakes the next morning, he'll find the door left ajar and the heavy ply curtains of his chamber window pulled aside to let in a wedge of morning light.
Across the wall above his bed, right above the pillow where he slept, reads a message carved into the wall with something crude and sharp. ]
ANOTHER MESSAGE
It looks like an animal has been slaughtered in here, and stinks as such. Viscera lies scattered from wall to wall where a great violence had occurred in Billy's absence. The source of the rot lies tucked under the curtains drawn across the window — a handful of rats..or the remains of them.
Another message left behind smeared across the glass.]
