two time was a silent, reclusive person.

they hardly reached out to anyone else in the group. they didn’t socialise, didn’t quite… mix in with the group, per se. sure, they protected their teammates, but that was just on an aliasary basis. they seemed withdrawn, not even choosing to socialise when cordially invited by the others at social events like bonfire nights & the occasional party. however, two time did interact with one person—& as disbelieving as everyone found it, that one person was taph. taph, the person that seemed more bird like than man. taph, the failed former ROBLOX admin. taph, the trap-setter, the one who couldn’t even speak, let alone socialise with the group. shedletsky & dusekkar deemed the duo to be perfect for one another, even cracking the occasional joke that they were lovebirds, taking a dig on taph’s bird like nature. two time simply shrugged at these jokes, meanwhile they would try to stab anyone if they dared to joke about two time’s personality. the group found it weird, but they didn’t question it much.

one afternoon, two time was out on a solo stroll through the woods surrounding the survivors’ cabin. they twirled their trusty dagger idly on the end of their index finger as they wandered, a smile creeping onto their face as they saw taph’s usual traps dotted around here & there to protect the base from any potential killer ambushes. it was thanks to taph that they were able to take walks such as these without the risk of being harmed nor taken on by a surprise attack.

suddenly, two time paused. they’d heard a sound—a branch, creaking under considerable weight far too heavy for it.

“..hello?” two time called out into the dusk air, stopping to turn around here & there to look for the cause of the noise.
