Dying Light

A Long Day

It had been a long day of fun and they finally made their way home with Foolish carrying the tired sleeping kids. It was starting to get dark and so they hurried to their rooms and crashed for the night. Everyone happy to get some rest after so much fun running and swimming with the little ones. That and Tommy had challenged both Purpled and Foolish to a swim race only to lose both. It was an eventful day but super fun once Tommy got past his flashbacks and trouble breathing. It was great and the kids keeping his mind away from those things helped even more as they laughed and ran calling out to the teen asking him to play with them. Ghostbur would soft nudge him to go play and Friend would not so nicely shove him giving him little say but to go play. It was sweet watching the teens and kids play and just simply be the children they should have always been. Ghostbur, Friend, and Foolish both sat laughing and yelling out to the four children as they played making sure to encourage them get up, shake it off, and go keep playing when one of the four would trip or lose a game.

After some good sleep they woke up preparing to begin their build. They let the teens work on cutting down the trees and clearing the area needed as Ghostbur went to town with the kids to keep them busy and Friend overlooked the teens and Foolish continued drawing up how they wanted to go about the house. They would rotate position sometimes Purpled would take the kids off and Ghostbur would help in the house efforts and so all taking a turn for a break with the kids. They enjoyed it this way no one was feeling overworked or overwhelmed. They listened to eat other and communicated while doing their tasks. Where before they would simply kill or destroy each other's things until it was out of their way. This was way preferred by all of them as they were finally at peace not worrying about possibly dying every day. They got through most of the clearing and drawing up the plans they day and the children had fun they had managed to sneak 4 ice cream trips one with Ghostbur, one with Foolish, one with Purpled, and one with Tommy! They were bouncing off the walls for a while before getting to their room and crashing pretty hard from all the sugar they had that day. Not before brushing their teeth of course. It was overall a good day with a lot of progress and they had felt so at peace doing their task they definitely did not miss the SMP or any of its stressful atmosphere at all. None of them said it but they all clearly shared the same feeling on the situation and they all clearly preferred their lives now. The one that they were building themselves the ones that they probably should have had to begin with but was taken from them by fights and so much war and so much spilt blood. But not anymore not now and definitely not here. This was their peace and their safe space.
