Flag colors have no meaning. Requested by no one.
[Flag ID: A horizontally striped flag with 7 evenly sized stripes. From top to bottom, the stripe colors are dark blue, medium purple-tinted blue, pale pink, white, pale pink, medium purple-tinted blue, and dark blue. End ID.]
[Divider ID: A transparent divider with a large purple star shape in the middle. Two smaller stars are on either side of it, with purple lines extending outwards from the smaller stars and getting thinner towards the end of the divider. This appears below the flag, and again between the flag information and the image descriptions. End ID.]
You’re a daycare worker, watching over toddlers, when the imminent end of the world is announced. It becomes increasingly clear none of the kids’ parents are going to show up as the end inches nearer.
[Audio starts]
“Mom has been texting me for the last twenty minutes. She wants me to come home. It’s a four hour drive, when the roads are clear, and from what I hear everybody is trying to get somewhere right now. There’s no telling if I’d even-”
“Everybody else has left. All the other kids were picked up, the other staff left. They gave me all the keys. I promised to stay and wait for as long as- well. Even if some of the parents show up, I guess some of them won’t, so I’m just waiting. Until.”
[Clears throat.]
“A couple of people came after everybody left. Peter, one of Aidan’s fathers, gave me three hundred dollars for staying. What am I going to do with money? It’s- anyway. I kind of get it. He wanted to give me something.”

“They’re all between 2 and 4.” Sniff. “They’re so little. Too little to really- maybe if they were older, I’d have to tell them something. But um. I’m just- trying to stay calm and keep them happy and occupied. I think that’s the best thing, right now.”
[Heaving breaths.]
“I normally use this recorder to help me remember stuff. It’s just, uh, habit to talk to it. I don’t know. They’re napping, right now. I’ve got the baby monitor, they know that if they talk into it, I’ll come, so-”
[Sobbing.]

“Mom keeps texting, so I blocked her. I sent her a text telling her goodbye, first, but. I do. But these kids need me.”
[Sniff.]
“I tried calling their parents again, but I can’t get anybody. It’s just busy signals. I called the firefighter station, 911. I can’t get through to anybody.”
[Shaky breath.]
“I went out into the yard. Um, I think they can play. It’s nice out, and you can’t really see it yet. Little bit of a glimmer, if they ask I’ll just tell them it’s a plane, but it’s nice out and we’ve got hours before-”

THE 420 SUN AND BURRITO TOWN MOON MOON I’M—

I think I made that gravity falls reference in our original planning convo for the chapter. XD
Sun has picked up a lot of bad habits, but Protag was able to break them within a week. (he’s just really stressed and under a lot of pressure at the moment. Your brother almost dying and having a panic attack he’s going back to “old killing habbits” before protag sets you right does that to an animatronic.)
