[A Flashback Intermission]
CW: None
Perspective: Opera
Opera: Hey!
Charon: Opera?
Opera: Yeah!
Charon: How’d you get up here?
Opera: Wasn’t too hard, just had to climb up. You know how it is, cat things.
Charon: Yeah… I just wanted some air.
Opera: This high up?
Charon: Yeah. Used to do the same back home with my grandma.
Opera: So uh..
Opera: You wanna meet my friends? Hang out?
Charon: Mm? Right now? It’s pretty late..
Opera: Yeah! Folks are celebrating Darkest Night stuff lately. Even though it’s a weird pocket void and all, people need it..
Charon: I mean..
Charon: I don’t mind I guess.
Charon: But..
Opera: ..Buuut?
Charon: I don’t want to leave Geezer behind. Is it okay if he comes?
Opera: Is he your brother?
Charon: Cousin. We just met but he seems pretty cool and well…
Charon: My fault he got dragged into this.
Opera: Don’t be so hard on yourself…
Charon: It’s true. So like… I don’t want to not go with him.
Charon: If folks are having fun, I want him to join in. Make him feel welcome, you know?
Opera: Makes sense. Lead the way then.
Opera: Rest of your family going to be okay with this?
Charon: Long as we’re still in this part of town, it’s fine right?
Opera: Mm… I guess so.
Opera: I’ll have to talk to my crowd to see if they’re all good for this then.
Charon: Mm…
You scooted to the top of your bunk bed to pester Geezer.
Charon: Hey, you awake.
Geezer looked at you with a tired gaze before sobering up at the sight of Opera.
Geezer: Who’s that? She from downstairs?
Charon: Friend I met recently.
Opera: Opera!
Charon: It’s darkest night right now. Folks are celebrating outside.
Geezer: That’s right.. We’re missing out on that…
Opera: Not today! Wanna go down as a group? Live a little?
Geezer: Maybe. Arabis and Erica aren’t home right now though…
Geezer: Feels bad not asking them.
Charon: That’s true.. She said we’d be staying in our part of town though.
Geezer: True… kinda in the mood for candy right now…
Opera: I’ll make sure we stay safe, just gonna meet up with a couple of friends.
Geezer: What kind of friends?
Opera: Just some kids in the area, Fenton and Hickory. You kinda remind me of one of them…
Geezer: Me? I dunno. Maybe.
Geezer: Not gonna lie, those sound like band names.
Opera: Geezer doesn’t?
Geezer: …Yeah but mine’s cool.
Opera: Okay. So you in or…
Charon: Up to you Geez, don’t wanna do this if you’re not good for it.
Geezer: You kidding? I’m down dude. Take me to the ball.
Opera: You’re a ham, follow me.
Charon: Opera?
Opera: Yeah!
