「 REMEMBER YOUR APPOINTMENT」

[drawback]

[ It looks like you have an appointment and you have been brought in from the waiting room. There is a chair for your to lounge on--

Wait, are you seeing a shrink? Can't be! You're generally sane... Right?

Right...? ]

The doctor will be right with you. For now, I'll just conduct a general evaluation. Mind if I ask you questions?

Comments

[drawback]

Oh wow... That's quite a lot. [ He raises his eyes. Usually no teenager has the patience to do all of that. ]

I think everything I touch dies.

[unsecure]

I don't think that's reassuring to hear from anybody.

[ Not that he minds hearing it anyway. ]

Did you have a bad experience with one?

[drawback]

... Actually, not really.

I have a pretty big tree in the front of my house, but my neighbors have been taking care of it for a while. [ He just has never taken care of anything in his own house aside from the class hamster. ]

[unsecure]

Then you can't really say that everything you touch dies because you haven't really tried.

[ He's beginning to think that Cameron is just lazy with that sort of thing. ]

[drawback]

My pet hamster died once... [ Here comes the tale that isn't true.

Are you ready, Damien?! ]

[unsecure]

Did you forget to feed it one day...

[ He's not sure if he's ready?!?!! ]

[drawback]

No... It just suddenly died out of fright. I'm not sure why since all I did was hold it. [ Damiens... ]

[unsecure]

Maybe you just scared the heck out of the hamster somehow.

[ He thinks it's strange because-- ]

You're not that scary though.

[drawback]

Really? That's good to hear. I don't think it would go well for my patients if I was scary.

[ Let this tale plague you for life, Damien. ]

[unsecure]

Animals are kinda weird though. Animals never liked Frosty. Probably because he was too cold wherever he went.

[ poor polar bear ]

[drawback]

... Frosty? The snowman? [ He tilts his head while he looks over the flower bed on this side.

sad life. ]

[unsecure]

He's kind of like a snowman, except he's not white. He has black hair and blue-green eyes. He's also tall and it's cold wherever he goes.

He also handed me an urban dictionary.

[ ........... well ]

[drawback]

Oh. Is that his actual name? [ In reality, Cameron wants to say WHAT?

what


okay


what




kay ]

[unsecure]

No... I don't think it is. I just forgot his name and I usually call him Frosty. I don't think he minds.

[ cammy pls ]

[drawback]

He sounds pretty chill. [ Don't

say anything, Damien.




Cameron isn't aware which is why he ventures over to the venus flytraps. ]

1/2

[unsecure]

[ At first he just stares at Cameron for a bit, until-- ]

[unsecure]

--Why are you walking there?

[drawback]

I think they're about to be fed soon. [ While he's not a biologist of any kind, he still finds things like this really interesting.

Carnivorous plants!!! ]

[unsecure]

[ This does interest Damien, so he goes over to where Cameron is to diligently observe the plant.

mO_Om ]

[drawback]

[ The gardeners are over on the other side, placing a vented glass box and a couple of flies in it.

LET

THE PLANT WATCHING BEGIN. ]

[unsecure]

[ Damien stares at the flies whizzing about before some of them softly land on the plant.

then

CHOMP

Damien's eyes go wide from being startled because he was concentrating on the plant for so long that he didn't expect it to move so suddenly. ]

[drawback]

[ It's okay, Damien. Cameron is on the same boat and basically eyes all wide. He doesn't seem as startled, but he was not expecting. ]

Wow. This is like watching a documentary in person. [ YUP. ]

[unsecure]

[ Damien nods to Cameron's statement in agreement and his vision can't help but to stay glued onto the scene before him. It's just a venus flytrap doing its most natural thing--eating--but he stares. It's so interesting. ]

It's so fast...

[drawback]

If it's scaled to human size, that probably would have been as fast as a lightning. [ There is a grim atmosphere...

Because technically bugs are super strong and so are plants compared to us human things. ]

[unsecure]

Faster than Shinya... [ No, Damien. Maybe not that kind of speed. But he starts thinking about the comparison too, and... also starts growing a little paler. ]
