Week Eleven: Wednesday
When: Late afternoon
Where: Towers
Who: Bo – Narrative
Bra...panties....weird tank top thing that looked like sort of a bra and panties and....how did that thing even go on? Bo lifted it up, twisting it this way and that, holding it up against him like that would make some sense of the strangely made Rubik clothing that he happened to stumble onto. Shrugging his shoulders it was tucked back into the drawer and he continued on with his rummaging. Shinny thing, ruffled thing, lacy thing that she never wore but really really should.
Squinting he turned his head this way and that way, trying to peer further into the bottomless pit of a drawer. That is until he heard the door open. Then he jumped about three feet in the air, slammed the drawer shut...on his hand....and blurted out in a rush 'I was just putting her clothes away!'
The servant girl looked at him as though he'd done lost his mind.
Bo just breathed a sigh of relief. Until the pain registered, then he was a bumbling mess of trying to get his hand free and shaking it around as though that was going to still the pain. It didn't. But it did knock over an expensive bottle of perfume that nearly sprayed him right in the eyes as it hit the table. Bo jumped back to evade the smelly attacking particles, narrowly missing the servant who was working to clean up the room. By that point he realized being still was a good thing. Still...and his red hand drawn up to his chest in a wounded fashion.
He was eyeballing the dresser like it was all it’s fault.
Scowling he wrapped his hand up in his shirt, vacating the room before the dresser decided to strike again. Little did the dresser know that Bo had one. A stolen artifact was now tucked under his shirt and Bo was slipping out of the room to go hide it. He couldn’t keep his stash in Chloe’s room, she’d surely find it and then he’d have nothing. No he hid it outside of the room…but even the apartment itself was too close. One of the other siblings might find it and then they’d give them all back to Chloe too. So no no that wouldn’t work. His stash had to be kept outside of the apartment all together.
Around the apartment complex was risky too but Bo knew lots of secrete places. He had plenty of time to explore. There was the basement and the room with all the wires and stuff that shocked him when he sniffed it. And there was the room with all the pipes, and a little shed up on the roof. And then there was the hole in the wall down in that room that was before the underground. But the rats liked to try to steal stuff when he hid it there. He’d chased one down once but they were tiny and could slip away too quick.
Tip toeing away from the room he peeked down hallways and dashed across open areas to get to the front door. Quietly it was opened and barefoot, he always forgot shoes, he went off to find a place to hide it. He had to be quick though, he never liked being gone long without being told to be or letting her know where he was going. But he wasn’t sure where she was and…it would only take a second. He was quick as lightening…or so he liked to think. Rushing out and then back into the house, blindly hauling ass back to the room and plopping right down onto his bed with his hands folded like he’d been there the entire time. Innocent as can be.
“She hasn’t shown up yet.” The servant told him, Bo glancing over and breathing another sigh. See, quick. “I knew that” and then he just fell back onto his matt and curled up. But at least he lifted his legs up when the girl came by with the noisy vacuum. He hated that thing. Some noises he just hadn’t gotten used to no matter how many years he’d been around them. Not that it was just noises he hadn’t quiet adjusted to yet. He was glad she was cleaning though, Bo didn’t understand that thing. Plus he liked making messes….not cleaning them. Only time he did was when she told him to.
He could leave; avoid the whole cleaning sound and smells. But she told him to stay there till she got back. Which should be soon….maybe.
