    Summary

    The delay is... more strange than the presence of the house itself. Raising a brow, Arthur prompts; "It's?"

    I don't know, John murmurs, almost mystified. It's not quite a cabin. It isn't...rustic, exactly, but it's-- simple. Straightforward. It has a... purpose.

    "What?"

    What? Oh. He huffs. I don't know, Arthur. It's a house.

    (Or; bad weather delays them from reaching Albany and continuing their trek downstate. There's something off about the house they stumble across. It wants to give them what they want, which is unfortunate, considering Arthur is less and less certain about knowing what that is.)

    Summary

    Both of them remain slack, curled up like a child in the midst of Carcosa’s ruins, as the first sun sets. Carcosa has been described in many ways. Ominous and unnatural and alluring, yes, but never lonely until this moment.

    “I’m sorry,” John says genuinely.

    “I don’t care,” Yellow lies.

    Summary

    John knew that, by now, he really, really should have developed a better way to communicate direction to Arthur.

    ‘Left’ and ‘right’ clearly did nothing. Perhaps he should have started saying the exact opposite of where they needed to go, since that was what Arthur always did. Might be best to cut it off at the head.

    John swore that he would design a better solution for them… eventually.

    Being on the run from gods and monsters for months gave him much more pressing and deadly issues to think about during the long (yet still too short) nights of rest. And now that they were somewhat stagnant, living in Noel's apartment and learning how to settle, the issue didn't seem pressing. Not when Noel had the advantage of a full body, and could lay a gentle hand on Arthur's shoulder to guide him through the city.

    There was very little opportunity to remember the plan, almost no need to actually set it in motion to begin with. So John kept pushing it back. It just wasn't a problem.

    Until it was.
