[Freddy's got his eyes on the feline to make sure it's not undead or some other creepy Pet Cemetery shit. He keeps his eyes on it the entire time while backing away into the kitchen with Larry.]
Shit Pink could be in the fuckin' bowl.
[The cat's food bowl he means. That's what cats eat out of right? Kitty dishes.]
[The cat food and water are on it's own little mat - Pink is oddly devoted to that cat - in the kitchen. There's dishes that are drying so he's been there recently.
Pink follows them, and when they're standing over the cat dishes, presumably looking for pieces of him or something, he turns the faucet on]
[Device pocketed because the lights are kind of on, then WHOOSH. His gun is trained on the faucet like he's got super speed all over again. Fuck this shit, seriously.]
He could've been humpin' a ouija board for all I care I think we gotta get outta here man.
[Yes, Orange is kind of a believer but can you blame a kid who happens to adore comic books, fantastic stories, and horror? They say seeing is believing but others say believe then you will see.]
[It makes a fucking terrible noise as it moves across the floor. An even worse noise when it falls. Really though that's not as bad as a gunshot. Larry on instinct shoots it because of the big mass moving. He didn't register what it was. Just one clean shot right into the biggest cushion.
They used to fuck on that couch.]
....Fuckin'-- Who the hell is here? What the fuck do you want?
[And where the fuck is Pink? Why the fuck is this happening?]
[No. Fuck fuck fuck no. Not this again. While Larry takes care of the couch Freddy goes straight for the cat, looking to grab it and hold it hostage or something because if the cat's doing it he'll shoot the piece of shit but if not well the cat must be alive for a reason right?? He'll hold it for ransom.
It's honestly just a shot in the dark.] That's enough bullshit!
[One of those swipes manages to cut Freddy across the back of his hand. The cat goes free without losing one of its nine lives but not without a split second snarl from the kid, something ferocious and almost foaming, but then the moment's gone.]
Son of a bitch. [He shakes his cut hand out. Nothing deep--ooooookay. He saw this movie.] Poltergeist.
[Wait.] Pink? Pink that you? You motherfucker! [He goes to the TV and gives the thing a thumb from his boot.] What the fuck's goin' on!
[Somehow Larry knows Freddy's cut without looking. Well, the cat is pretty much one of the most awful animals in the City in his book. It has an attitude to match Pink's.]
Yeah we can hear you. You been fucking with us this whole damn time?
[He shouts at the TV. Regrets are at a zero.]
We been looking all over for you. What the fuck happened.
[Poltergeist is just a movie. At least that's what the old man has been telling himself. A movie like the kind of a horror show they saw at that house? Larry holsters his gun.]
[A paw darts out to grab Freddy to pull him away. The way Pink speaks with such conviction confirms all those bad feelings.]
Are you dead then?
[He's about to say shit like that just doesn't happen except they're not in their normal world. Shit happens. Weird, weird shit. And it still is a shocker.]
[Blaughrugajdgkgkdejsdfsl mommy. Oh okay daddy will do. Er, that is, Mr. White will do. Freddy's already rubbing himself down trying to shake off the heebie jeebies when Larry pulls him away.]
Jesus Christ. [Shuddderrrrrrrrr.] Who the fuck killed you man?
Mr. Pink just iced my fucking balls. [He points in the...general vicinity at Pink. Huff huff puff. He's sticking close to Larry's side now.]
If you didn't get shot in the face or whatever then I'm callin' this bullshit a fuckin' curse. [Nose rub, sigh. Wait.] How the fuck did you move the whole fuckin' couch?
