Keep The Lights On (K.T.L.O)

What's Your Name?

"What happens if we run into that monster?"

"I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. No more questions, remember?"

"I remember..."

"Why do you sound so sad? Do you want to fight it or something?"

"No! I don't. In fact, I never want to see those things again. Just wanted to see if there was a way for us to live."

"There is. It's called running and keeping the lights on."

"I guess that's true."

"Nice! I like you already. To tell you the truth you're one of my longest-surviving friends."

"Longest surviving!? How long!?"

"A couple of hours. They weren't fast enough and natural selection does its thing."

"That's cruel."

"It is. Anyways, heal up so we can leave this spot. I don't like to stay in one place for too long."

"Alright... Man?"

"Right, we haven't exchanged names."

"We haven't."

"That's still technically a question."

"No, it isn't."

"Yes it i-" The wind started to pick up as the torches inside their makeshift hut slowly lost their flame.

"Well. Shit." That's when a similar looking monster from the one for earlier ran in their little hut and darted stright towards them. Tetsu then pushed Yuto to the side of him and stabbed the monster with a long wooden spear before kicking the monster out of their hut.

"Pass me that steel bit right next to you!" Tetsu yelled to Yuto. Yuto looked down to see a steel bit that had a slight curve in the middle of it and passed it to Tetsu. In a haste Tetsu grabbed a smaller wooden steak before grabbing a rock off the ground. He proceeded to slide the rock across the steel lining and onto the wooden steak causing it to immediately catch on fire.

"Seems you took to long to recover from that spear. I'll be taking that back now." Tetsu smiled at it before ripping it out the head of the monster before laying the on it's body causing it to erupt in flames. Tetsu then put rocks around it's body and two sturdy planks on its side before axing it down to have a small slit in the middle.

"Pass me that silver piece right there." Still in a fright Yuto passed over the silver piece next to Tetsu before he slid it in the middle.

"What are you doing?"

"What? You don't want to eat or something?" That's when Tetsu grabbed plants from the corner and a stack of bugs and threw them onto the silver plating.

"That's going to take some time. Oh I totally forgot to ask, are you okay?"

"What is wrong with you!? I can't read anything about you! You're either mad, sad, happy, calm, and more emotions I can't even think of!"

"What have you not talked with somebody before this or something?"

"No! Well I have but inside my head! I don't know who I am. I think my name is Yuto. That's basically all I know."

"That's weird. You can't remember anything, yet you remember the basics of our language?"

"You're... right."

"You wouldn't know the answer as to why that is... At least, I don't think you know. Do you know?"

"I- I do not."

"You better not be lying to me."

"I'm not! I swear!"

The room went silent as the only sound that could be heard was the agony screeching throughout The Darken Plain.

"Welp I'm hungry and this doesn't take long to cook at all. So let's eat it!"

"What are we eating exactly?"

"Bugs wrapped in this plant I found. It sounds terrible but it honestly great. You can fit around 5 of the big ones in one plant and wrap them up and they give you enough to feel full."
