03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
It had been just a couple of days since Milo had ended up at Journey's house after a beating from his father. He hadn't meant to unload on her like that but he had naturally found his way there because it just felt...right at the time. He didn't regret it. It had ended up being just the distraction he needed and she was so sweet to take care of him. He couldn't remember the last time someone had actually taken care of him in that way. They'd ended up falling asleep and he woke up in the early hours of the morning to sneak out so she wouldn't get into trouble.
They'd still be texting since then but he'd felt the urge to take her out again, partly to repay her for how sweet she'd been but mostly because he just wanted to see her again. So he'd sent her a text the night before.
9:47pm: I want to take you out tomorrow. On a real date. Let's say 6pm? What do you think?
Waking to Milo that day had been unreal. It felt like a dream as he untangled himself from her bed, their clothes all wrinkled from how they held each other. Her hair was a mess, she already knew. But he had woke, and as they rushed to get him out the house before anyone could find him, she found herself grinning shyly once back in her room.
He texted her over the next several days. And she texted him just as much… if not a little more. Mostly banter, a few of her checking in on him. Once she had wrote up a text that she would up falling asleep on. It went unsent, as she deleted it the next morning when she saw it. ‘I wish you were sleeping here’.
But it was the sudden text once she had settled into her bed that had her bolt upright, heart pounding. Her thumbs hovering over the keyboard.
9:48pm: A real date? 9:48pm: You’d want that?
But then she was scrambling, nerves settling in… as always.
Milo chewed his lip as he stared at the text 'you'd want that?'. Had he given her the impression that he wasn't up for that kind of thing or was she not really up for that? He was overthinking it surely. When she agreed to the date a minute later he felt a bit of relief that at least she was up to try and he decided he was determined to prove that he was interested in that.
9:51pm: Anyone would be crazy to not want to treat you right, Journey. 9:51pm: I can pick you up or we could meet at the library?
He didn't know if maybe she wouldn't want him at her house and the library had a nice big lot she could park her car so he could drive with her to their location.
