WHO: Sloth and Envy
WHEN: Sunday midday-ish
WHERE: Sloth and Wrath's place
WHAT: A reunion of dark souls
WARNINGS: Sins.

Sloth lay on her back on the floor of the living room and stared at the ceiling, her eyes following the cracks and counting the spiders. There was a party-sized bag of Doritos on the floor nearby and she was slowly crunching them down, barely registering the motion even as cheesy crumbs scattered across her crop top. My Chemical Romance was wailing at a very high volume through the speaker close by. She'd been out last night, got wasted, got rejected, and this was her way of dealing with it.

The guy was a fucking junkie, where did he get off telling her she was too skinny and flat-assed for him? She'd shown him flat on his ass when the Black Dog had come for him. Stupid fuck. Gerard Way had the right of it.

Envy hadn't come to see Sloth right away, and she knew Sloth wouldn't like that. She couldn't pinpoint what it was that had kept her away, and she wasn't going to look too closely into it either. But if she wanted to get all the sins together soon for a primal night out, she had to start somewhere.

She slunk up to Sloth and Wrath's place during the day, when their angrier sister wouldn't be around, and she knocked on the door. "Sloth!" she barked out loudly. "Open up!"

Sloth could barely hear the door over the sound of the music, but it began hammering into her brain after a minute. Had she ordered delivery? She kinda fancied a burrito- or that might be all the corn chips staining her fingers. Maybe she had. That banging was being insistent.

With a groan, Sloth rolled onto her belly and picked herself up, lazily brushing the crumbs off as she staggered towards the door. In bare feet, sweat pants, a crop top, panda-eyed make up from last night and lank, loose hair, she wasn't much of a sight as she pulled the door open and squinted out at the person on the doorstep.

Wait, this wasn't a delivery person. Even in her slightly-hungover state, Sloth could tell that. She blinked and rubbed one eye. "Whaddya want?" she mumbled, trying to work out where she knew this person from.

	Envy looked at her sister, and took in the state of her. Honestly it was pretty par for the course. And she wanted to say something profound, but what came out was, "can you tell who I am, bitch? Back up, I'm coming in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sloth tugged at the waistband of her sweatpants and straightened up, frowning at the visitor. After a long moment, she backed up, muttering, "You have a new face, how was I meant to know?"

Emotions were rushing around, confusion mostly, but some anger and frustration at being left behind and then no word for so long. Was this actually Envy? Was her sluggish instinct correct?

	There it was. There was a part of her that was so pleased Sloth had recognised her, even with a different face. She wasn't about to show that though. Ew. Her lips curled up into a smile and she moved to the sofa to flop herself onto it. "I had to get a new face, too dangerous to keep the old one. You change faces too sometimes, you know."

Sloth followed Envy into the living room, and looked about, trying to find her phone to turn off the music. When she couldn't immediately locate it, she just picked up the portable speaker and rolled it away down the hallway, shutting the door behind it. It could still be heard, but at least they were able to speak without shouting.

"Yeah... the fuck happened to you?" She sat on the floor, reaching for her oversized hoodie that she'd shucked off earlier and putting it over her knees. "You've been gone fucking ages."

	"Wasn't safe," Envy said with a shrug. "I went and lived in the south for awhile, but it was boring." She sighed and leaned back, staring up at the ceiling. "What have you been doing here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girl_acedia 2025-03-15 11:32 am UTC (link)
	"The... the same." Sloth's eyes flicked as she looked around the room, barely changed at all since the last time Envy had been here. Maybe more dirty? She gestured feebly at it, staring at Envy while she was looking away. "So the motel failed then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	invidiabile 2025-03-15 11:35 am UTC (link)
	Envy's face became cold and bitter then and she hissed, "I don't want to fucking talk about that." Fucking motel. It would have been so beautiful. "It doesn't fucking matter, I'm going to set up a studio here by the river and it'll be fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girl_acedia 2025-03-15 12:31 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. A studio by the river? A different direction than last time, literally, away from the lakes around wider New York state. "You're staying? In New York?" Sloth asked, picking up on the most important fact of Envy's statement. Was this something to be happy about? She wasn't sure yet, still feeling her feels about Envy's disappearance.

	The fact that Sloth seemed pleased she was staying was something Envy was glad to hear. But she wasn't going to be gay and react to it outwardly. Instead she shrugged again and said, "might as well. I got Gluttony to agree to fuck shit up with us soon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girl_acedia 2025-03-16 09:54 am UTC (link)
	Sloth pulled a face. Great, a third wheel for some shit fucking. "What shit? Why did you decide to come back?" Was it for her? No, of course it wasn't. Envy didn't care enough for that, look at the way they'd left. Nobody cared about Sloth that much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Those are two different questions," Envy pointed out. "I want to fuck shit up. Take drugs and dance and kill. And I came back because why not? Not many clubs in the swamp. I fed people to gators but it's not the same." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It sounded like there was a story to catch up on. Feeding people to gators sounded epic. Were they alive when it had happened? Sloth bit her lip, fiddling with the cuff of her hoodie, and frowned tightly. "So you can just fuck off when you like, and come back when you like, and who gives a fuck about anyone else?" she said, trying to sound like she didn't care while very desperately, deeply caring.

	Ugh, emotions were dumb. "Yeah, I can," she shot at Sloth. "Who gives a fuck? I had to do something, so yeah I fucked off?" No one actually missed Envy. Sloth just didn't like being alone was all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girl_acedia 2025-03-16 11:59 am UTC (link)
	Sloth slouched, shoulders hunched, and pulled the hem of the hoodie right up to her chin. "At least when you shot yourself I knew you were dead," she grumped, her voice turning whiny. "Why would you just fuckin leave me behind? I know losing the asylum pissed you off but fuck, man, I would've come." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	invidiabile 2025-03-16 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	Envy's face twitched, uncomfortable. This was not something she wanted to deal with right now. Or ever. "I didn't know that," she said quietly, because that part was true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girl_acedia 2025-03-16 12:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Well you never fuckin asked. So." Sloth liked New York and obviously had not left the city since Envy had gone- had barely left the room, honestly, except for that time with that guy Scully or whatever his name was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	invidiabile 2025-03-17 06:09 am UTC (link)
	Well how the fuck was she supposed to know she could ask!? "Oh my god, fuck off my dick, Sloth!" she said, even though she didn't have a dick at the moment. "I'm back now, okay?!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sloth pulled a face at Envy and fell silent, stewing over Envy's treatment of her. She didn't want to just forgive everything, but she was so bad at the silent treatment when she just didn't want to be overlooked. If she tried to sulk for too long, maybe Envy would just give up on her and never come back.

After a long moment, Sloth eventually said, "Did you really feed people to gators?"

	invidiabile 2025-03-17 09:08 am UTC (link)
	Oh thank fuck. Envy lit up at that and she nodded. "I lured them to this swamp house I had," she explained, "sometimes with sex, sometimes with art. And I killed some first and fed them to the gators, but some I watched be eaten. Mesmerizing," she sighed wistfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	girl_acedia 2025-03-17 09:19 am UTC (link)
	"Ewww, disgusting," Sloth said with great morbid fascination. This was an activity with Envy she could completely get behind and would happily hear more about. "I bet the gators fucked 'em up major. I bet they screamed. Fuuuuck, so good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	invidiabile 2025-03-17 09:53 am UTC (link)
	"It was disgusting," Envy grinned. "And the best. We could take a trip down there sometime, I still have the place. But first, we're going out like I said. As many of us as we can get together." (Reply to this) (Parent)
