Thread: Just Some Punks in the Backwoods {darkest_fate&Google}

There were nods and agreements about the nice to meet you thing all around. Sure, the girls might have had mixed reactions to Peter upon first meeting, but they were all thrilled not to be out in the rain. They weren't walking, weren't getting even more soaked, and they were on their way to get help. Spirits were pretty high all throughout. Even Andy was fine with things she'd been more concerned about the safety of the seatbelt than the daddy looking guy. Yeah, it was our driver's idea, offered Lex, shrugging. He thought we could make up some time by taking the back roads. He said he knew them, but-- But the fucker got us lost, finished Linh, flashing a quick grin toward their current driver. Lex chuckled a little at that, shrugging slightly. Crude, sure, but true nonetheless. Plus, they didn't see any reason to hide anything from their rescuer. Friendly, older, he looked nearly like he'd wandered off the set of some old time sit com. And as he mentioned the hellish hike they'd avoided, they got all the more receptive. They could, however, feel the rising heat in the cab of the truck. While it might not have initially been stuffy, having four bodies shoved into a space meant for three added a little. Plus, three of those body had been soaked. It wasn't quite unbearable, but it was certainly bordering on uncomfortable, especially for Linh and Andy, whose especially close proximity was making them even warmer. Wow, that stuff smells strong, commented Andy, wrinkling her nose as she peered over the seat toward the flask. Linh and Lex both nodded, with the latter grabbing the flask and holding it under her nose. She took a sniff, before jerking it away from her face, waving a hand under said nose. Damn, that's some--- managed Lex, blushing slightly at her reaction. That was the type of thing Andy said, and the other two knew it. For Andy grinned and Linh smirked. Lex shot them a glare before taking a quick pull. Within seconds of the stuff hitting her body, however, the tiny girl was coughing, hammering her chest with one fist. It was damn strong, and Lex hadn't quite delved that deep into the whole drinking thing yet. She drank more than her twin, sure, but not this. While she blinked water from her eyes, Linh took the flask and gave it a quick pull herself. Even the Asian coughed slightly at that, before holding it out to Andy. Andy took a slight sniff, wrinkled her nose, and took only the tiniest of sips. She ended up coughing slightly at that, blushed at the expression, and reached across her sister to give the flask back to Peter. They'd started moving in earnest now though, and the girls were glad to see road stretching out behind them. Hopefully it wouldn't be long before they reached Peter's house. He kept up the friendly act too, asking them about their gig. Yeah, we're a punk rock band, admitted Lex, nodding and smirking. Well, more pop-punk, really, ventured Andy. It was true, especially with Andy's songs. But we fucking rock, offered Linh. We were gonna hit a gig tonight, but the fucking driver, eh. You know. You probably haven't heard of us though, cut in Lex, giving the other two cutting looks. We're the Twin-Sprites and-- You'll never guess where that name's from, drawled Linh. Lex ignored her And we haven't hit it big yet. We just got a record deal at our last gig, and we're hoping to put an album out this fall. Andy's been picking our lead single and stuff. We're pretty damn good though, you know, for a group that's just starting out. Good chemistry and junk. Hey, said Andy, squirming in her seat and looking to Peter, I don't think you gave your name, right? What do you do, mister? The other two rolled their eyes at Andy's near lack of tact, not to mention the mister that sounded almost little girlish. They'd left their teens behind, and the pixie act was just that an act. Still, after a quick exchange of looks, they all turned expectantly to Peter. Might as well know more about their friendly rescuer, after all.
