Watching NASCAR for the pile-ups

Late February to Early March: Open Thread (CW: Hypothetical gore involving a fetus.)

Red Rock Stadium is the name of the purpose built football and athletics stadium for Southwest Red Rock High School. It is home to the Rattlers football team, as well as the Rattlers athletic team. The view from the stadium is notable, as the backdrop of every game is Red Rock Canyon, which can be clearly seen from the stadium itself. Much like the gym, the stadium is free for students to make use of outside practice times. The stadium also hosts graduation ceremonies at the end of every school year.

Watching NASCAR for the pile-ups

Post by EllisWilson »

((Wade Colter continued from Getting Ready To Rumble ))

Wade'd already eaten his lunch, leaving him without much else to do besides wander around aimlessly waiting for class to start. Said wanderings brought him up the stadium bleachers, where he started getting ideas he hadn't for maybe two months now; stuff to write about. It came to him after he finished hauling his big body up the bleacher steps and found a place to sit. He had a good view of the place, high up as he was, and his schools namesake was staring at him right back.

The rocks are red... Cool.

That's where the idea came from. Why were the rocks red? Wade understood that it was probably because of some rock science thing he couldn't have cared any less about, but what if it wasn't? What if someone painted them like that? What if they didn't use paint? That's the point when his phone came out and he made a new Google Doc:
  • Psycho artist decides to paint a nearby canyon with peoples insides.
  • Wife probably cheated on him or something
  • Have him pull fetus out of pregnant woman and swing it into canyon wall to paint it.
Wade put the back of his hand to his mouth to stifle his laughter. His cheeks were hurting already, the strain from his grinning pulling them tight. It was such a disgusting concept that he couldn't help himself, and it's not like he was gonna show that to anyone. He actually knew people here, for gods sake. It'd be equivalent to walking up to people and showing them your own spread open asshole; it would disgust them and Wade would probably get in trouble for doing it. Not really worth the cheap laugh.

...
  • Have him yank a guys rectum out.

((Rozlyn Dolor "continued" from Here We Are Now, Entertain Us))

The rosebush girl stops herself, she sees someone in one of her usual haunts, an oddity. She likes to hang around here since it's somewhat big and she can avoid people for the most part, a balance now disturbed.

(Kay... someone else is here... uh, fuck? Guess I'll just, stick over here and brood about it.)

Rozlyn sits down towards the other side of the bleachers, watching Wade curiously for a bit.

(The hell's he gigglin' to himself about?)

She shakes her head and ignores him, mostly. She glances a few times as she passively opens her phone, chewing on a granola bar. Her phone, upon opening, continues to play a song she was listening to on YouTube, blasting at full volume.

"SOOOOOOOOOOO CARRY ON! LOVE THE SUBHUM-"
"SHIT FUCKIN'-"

She growls and quickly tries to remedy the situation by closing the video, dropping the granola bar in the process and accidentally stepping on the snack in the process of trying to save it as she swipes away the video and tosses her phone to the side.

"FUCK! Granola bar ass, fucking, shit, goddammit!"

She picks up the squished granola and stares at Wade, knowing she's already fucked the social interaction before it's even started.

(...5 second rule, right?)


She eats the granola bar.



"...Yo."

The sudden, jarring sound of music made Wade jump a bit. No more than he usually would when accosted by sudden loud noises but, in this case, you have the added issue of him writing about horrible shit on his phone. The phone which he shut off as soon as he stopped having his mini heart attack, leaving him no choice but to actually look around and locate the source.

He watched with a straight face while the girl he didn't know swore a lot and ate a granola bar off the ground.

"Hi, I'm Wade."

He didn't know if he should say anything about the granola bar.

(Oh thank god he didn't say anything about the granola bar)

She nods and her eyes look around for a moment in hesitation, pocketing her phone and then keeping her hands inside of her pockets.

"Rozlyn."

(Well guess we're doing this.)

She swallows the last bit of granola bar in her mouth, her face scrunching up slightly as she registers the sensation of gravel tumbling down her throat.

"So uh, you hang around here much? 's quiet."
She shrugs while continuing to pretend to be attempting eye contact.

Wade put his own phone in his own pocket, more just to mirror what Rozlyn was doing. He made a note to himself to hold off on the floor food though. Rocks tasted bad no matter what they were jammed in. Wade scratched at his cheek before looking away, since it seemed like Rozlyn didn’t care for eye contact that much either. Maybe she did with people she knew better? Not like Wade would know, and the canyon looked cool regardless.

“Not really,” He answered. “I didn’t have much else to do besides wander around. Wound up here.”

Wade thought for a second. Should he keep going or let the conversation die? He decided on the former.

“It is pretty quiet. You prefer quiet?”

(I prefer no people really)
(Nope. Wrong answer. Improvise)

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
She shrugs and nods slightly, her hands fiddling in her pockets while her left foot slides back and forth slightly, her tongue passively rubs against the inside of her cheek as she formulates her words

"Yyyyeah I guess so. I mean... don't go to many like... social... things. Don't hang around people a lot. Rather make my own noise."
She half-heartedly chuckles and looks Wade up and down a little, her foot sliding slows down a little and her left hand comes out (good for it, we're so proud) of its pocket to limply gesture at Wade.

"What uhh, you were laughin' to yourself, you good?"

Yeah, I’m lying.

“Oh, uh,” Wade started, turning his head to look at Rozlyn. “It was just some text my friend sent me. Kind of an inside joke. I don’t know how to explain it any… good.”

Wade shrugged and scratched his cheek again. He really felt like he was fucking the pig here, whatever that metaphor entailed. The chance to make a new friend and she comes in while he’s laughing about a guy being de-rectummed. God is a hell of a comedian, that’s for sure.

Wade looked back to the canyon, his hand clenching his knee to keep it from bouncing. “Nice view, right?”

What a smooth transition. Fucking brainlet.

Rozlyn looks towards the canyon to humor him.

(Shit, actually yeah, kinda)

She nods her head and examines the scene, scratching her head limply with her shoulder. This is a very, weird conversation, if you can call it that, neither of them are sure of what to say to the other, she's gathered that much.

"Uhh, yeah, kinda actually. Been here a bunch but don't really like... fuckinnnn... take in the scene. 's pretty groovy."

("Groovy", thanks dad.)

She visibly tightens her expression and inhales at her choice of words, before exhaling in defeat knowing she can't undo that.

"...Haven't really thought about sorta, like, fuckin'... "sightseeing" here, y'know... might be worth it."

She shrugs and uses the canyon as an excuse to avoid eye contact, glancing at Wade as briefly as possible just to confirm he's both real and standing there.
He is.

Fuck.

Wade squinted at the use of the word 'groovy', but he was wearing sunglasses so it probably wasn't a huge deal. There was a benefit to that. For example: He won't get yelled at for looking at someone wrong. He figured that was probably a boon with Rozlyn, who he barely knew and seemed about as tense as he felt.

Regardless of that, Wade nodded along at her observations, still staring at the canyon.

"Yeah, might be worth it..." He thought for a moment. "I guess we gotta take in the sights we can. Senior year and everything. Won't have the chance soon."

Fuck, this is awkward, I gotta go.

Wade, as casually as he could force, started getting up.

"Fuckin'... poetic."

Rozlyn chuckles slightly and then relaxes a bit, probably out of relief

(Oh thank god, are we ending this? Sweet)

"You uhh, headin' off? Guess I should probably do that too. Guess I'll like... see you around then. Maybe. Or not."

She shrugs.

Wade, still in the process of standing up, gave Rozlyn a quick thumbs up before he started down the bleacher steps. He didn’t know what else to say to her and, if he were being blunt with himself, he didn’t have the inclination either. He didn’t know her. She was probably waiting on her own friends anyway.

When he got to the bottom of the bleachers, he turned stiffly and waved up at her. “Have a good one.”

Of course, he didn’t want to be rude about it before heading out, which he did without a any further delay.

Rozlyn sighs mostly in relief but she'd never admit to herself there was a tinge of disappointment in there as well. She looked out at the view again.

(Well... what now I guess? Fuckin'... probably worth just heading back in or something. Not like I'm waiting for someone)

She shrugs and puts her earphones in, resuming her music full blast as she heads down and on her own way as well.

((Rozlyn Dolor to continue elsewhere))
