Ep 63. Crave

11/15/24

Spool asks Citrus, How about this? Citrus asks, What, A knife? Plaque says Employees Only and 621. Spool says, Yeah, Maybe not. I don't wanna kill him. Box has the word Kitchen written on it. Spray can label says Disinfectant. Citrus says, No, keep it. After I eat his life force you might have to carve him up. Spool asks, What? Why? Citrus says, The pantry is blocked off. What were you gonna eat? Spool says, Oh, uh. I don't know.
Spool says, I mean, Maybe someone left food in their room? Citrus closes the supply closet door. Text says Shut. Citrus says, Listen to me, Spool. There's a very real chance that the only things to eat in this hotel, Are you, me, and him. Text says bang as something pounds on the door. Spool screams while Citrus shouts, What the fuck? Text says Punch as Bodypillow punches through the door.
Bodypillow tries to reference The Shining, saying, Here's. He stops abruptly, noticing that Spool is brandishing a large kitchen knife. Spool and Citrus stare at the knife, then at Bodypillow. Bodypillow quickly begins to try to pull his head out of the hole in the door. Text says pull.
Citrus says, Don't bother chasing him. Bodypillow flees down the hallway while Spool stares from behind the broken door. Citrus continues, He'll come to us when he's starving. Spool asks, So what, Fight him while we're starving too? Citrus says, You get used to it. Spool asks, Do you really? Citrus pauses, saying, It's complicated. Later in a dark hotel room, Citrus says to Spool, This time is different, Spool. He has a lot of time to strategize. We need to be twice as careful.
Spool says, Yeah, okay. I was thinking too, if that bird is still around, I could eat that instead of. Citrus makes a surprised noise, Huh? Citrus says, But, it, it, It's a crow. Spool stares at him. Spool says, Uh, Well, Don't get me wrong, I love birds. I know they're very intelligent. Citrus is taken aback when Spool touches his shoulder.
But you love men and kill and eat them all the time, so. Citrus stares at where Spool is touching him. Spool says, Are you worried it's gonna get you, or? Citrus glares at him and slaps his hand away. Text says smack.
Citrus says, I knew you didn't care about me. Spool says, Sometimes I do. And sometimes I remember that I shouldn't. Citrus says, Well. Get comfortable and enjoy your complimentary water bottles. You prick.
Spool thinks to himself while trying to sleep in the bed, We've been in this room for days. First time in months I've been in a warm bed. I can't sleep. I'm too hungry. I can't make up my mind about Citrus. We're both hurting people because we have no choice. I can't hate him. Even if he dragged me into this situation. I think I.
Text says creak as Bodypillow poked his head out of the vent in the ceiling. His face contorts as he opens his eyes and mouth. He growls as he stares down at Spool.
