1: The beep of his alarm awakens Sal in the backseat of his car, covered in a thin sheet. Thin scars litter his chest. His snake necklace is hung safely from the neck of a blue plush toy.
2: He drives along a dirt road. On the side of the road is a wheeled, wooden cart selling fireworks and other less-than-legal goods like ivory pocket knives and flashdrives full of pirated films. An elderly horse runs the stall.
3: In a drive-through, he’s being handed a bag of food.
4: He sits with legs hung out the open door of his car, eating fast food. He is parked somewhere in the desert, overlooked by a dead, barren tree.
5: Sipping on a milkshake, he pops open the trunk of his car.
6: Within his trunk is a collection of survival gear including a first aid kit, car repair packs, blankets, and a megaphone. There is also a pair of large speakers and a heavy subwoofer. A pack of fireworks have been recently squeezed into the trunk.
looks like he is in for the long game. hard to find a bull horn unless you know there to look.
love Sal’s character so much so far + love that he might be trans. i get the feeling he might have a bigger part to play beyond this issue but even if not it’s been nice to see the hints of his life and relationships outside everything else
He’s adorable; hope he does end up dead, or twisted beyond all recognition.
Doesn’t* damn it.
Glad to see it was someone else’s first thought too.
Also oh heck his being trans would both explain the scars AND potentially ‘Cassie’.
I am intrigued more now for this character who is being manipulated into unmaking the whole world.
Huh, I hadn’t even considered the possible implications there. The plot definitely thickens!
