Lost Souls (Huskerdust)

Warehouse Decorating

(word count: 1905)

Cherri tells Scarlett about what Husk said to Angel and how Angel is just staying in his room. Scarlett and Cherri drag Angel from his room bringing him to the warehouse.

Cherri: *dragging Angel* "come on just hiding out in your room won't cheer you up"

Angel: *grunts* "ye cause forcing me to where we found Husk after Chaz..... Did that to him"

Scarlett: *sighs* "look. We've cleaned everything down. Chaz is officially outcasted from the gang. We don't know where he is now but for now we do want to reform the warehouse..... Please Angel"

Angel: *nods slightly as they walk in and meet up with Cleocatra* "you are aware Husk may struggle to come in here if he ever decides to show up......"

Cherri: *looks around the warehouse* "well I doubt he'd recognise it especially if we decorate everything" *tries to give a reassuring smile*

Angel: *grits teeth* "so you want to ignore everything that has happened and then lie to Husk like he hadn't been violated and who knows what was done to him and...." *tears swell up* "and....."

Cherri hugs Angel tightly.

Cleocatra: *looks down* "maybe this is a bad idea"

Scarlett: *makes eye contact with Angel* "you understand what Husk is going through right?"

Angel: *shrugs* "yes and no.... He's reacting to it in such a wro-"

Scarlett: *shakes her head* "don't say wrong. Sure it's not the best but this is a lot for him" *sighs and looks at Cleocatra for a moment then looks away* "plus you aren't the only one who understands what Husk is going through. Trust me. We all have our ways of coping"

Angel: *eyes widens and he nods* "you are right....."

Scarlett: *nods* "Husk will come around to being back to normal...... Well as normal as he can be atleast....."

Angel nods and looks around

Scarlett: *sighs* "plus wouldn't it be better to make this place completely unrecognisable so Husk can have less of a chance of freaking out..... Or having a panic attack...... Or..... A mental breakdown.... Anything"

Angel: *sighs* "I guess"

Cleocatra: *puts hand on Angel's arm* "plus this could be a great distraction"

Cherri: *smirks* "or even better. This could help win Husk back"

Angel: *tilts head confused* "how could this do that?"

Scarlett: *chuckles slightly* "well we are planning to add like certain sections to be catered to certain people. So what we were thinking was" *moved everyone to be facing the back of warehouse like they just walked through the entrance* "this area can be split into three columns. The middle column won't need any rows and will be like a general area with whatever. Then the left and right column can be split into three rows. The plan was the left column can go from Angel at the top then Husk then Donald. The right can go from me at the top then Cleo then Buffy. Then the higher like platforms can be decorated however anyone wants. What do you think?"

Cherri: *shakes head* "not even any thought about me"

Scarlett: *raises eyebrow* "you aren't even in the gang" *Cleo nudges Scarlett* "wha?"

Angel: *chuckles* "you can share my little area. Assuming you pass the gang test"

Cleocatra and Scarlett giggle

Cleocatra: *smirks* "you do realise since you are now in the gang you can just give Cherri your 100% approval and she'll be apart of the gang right?"

Angel: *scratches back of head* "oh right.... Ye let's do that instead...."
