Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #123

Sometime after the events of yesterday, but before bed last night, J took me to the local food co-op. This is because some time ago, Br bought some boxed macaroni and cheese (henceforth shortened to mac-n-chz) that she thought was gluten-free, but wasn't. Br has a gluten allergy, but M, J, and I do not, so she gave us the boxed mac-n-chz.

It is unusual mac-n-chz, though, in that the cheese powder it comes with is made of goat's milk. Goat's milk is common in some parts of my world, but it's uncommon where I live. I don't know if you've ever had it, but I like it a lot; it has a stronger flavor than cow's milk - a bit more sour and savory, somehow. But some people really don't like it; those who don't like it would describe the flavor as "gamey", and I suppose that's fair. The sensory hardware that comes with inhabiting a flesh-vessel is different for everyone, and what is a pleasant sensory experience for someone can be an unpleasant sensory experience for someone else; it is the way of things.

I am fortunate to be one of the folks who does not dislike this flavor. So I thought to prepare the boxed mac-n-chz yesterday, because I felt awful about the bird and I thought eating something with a lot of cheese would help me feel a little better (this, too, is the way of things; I am a derpy autistic cheese goblin, after all - it is simply my nature). But the box said that it should be prepared with goat milk and goat butter. You usually can't find these things in an ordinary grocery store where I live. I was going to give up on preparing the boxed mac-n-chz yesterday, but then J encouraged me to go with him to the co-op; I guess, given my mental state, he probably thought it would have been good for me to get out of the house and get my mind off the bird. He was correct, as per usual.

…I ended up returning home with A LOT more than just goat's milk and goat's butter. I… miiiight have, in my half-numb, half-sad stupor, gotten like 3 containers of ice cream and several weird-looking potato chip flavors; I'll show you the ice cream I got tomorrow; I'm gonna put it in tea. But the potato chip flavors were "fried egg", "ham", "truffle", "garlic parmesan", and "ranch". By the time we got home, though, I had next to no energy left, so instead of preparing the mac-n-chz, J and I went to go visit Br, and that was a good time. Then we went home and watched the Fallout show with M, and that was also a good time.

…You might be pleased to know that I actually went to bed relatively on time last night. It's been a while since last that happened. I woke up feeling pretty good. I'm still really sad about the bird, of course, but I hope wherever its soul is now, it's having a fun time.

In light of yesterday's events, and in light of the fact that I didn't get to have mac-n-chz yesterday, and in light of the fact that I seem to be having some serious misgivings today about the fact that I am autistic (and therefore broadly considered creepy, unlikable, and generally socially unacceptable by default), I decided that today is an ice cream and mac-n-chz sort of day today. And… no, not in the same bowl, I promise, ahahahaha~!

I didn't eat any of the ice cream that I bought yesterday, though. No, as it turns out, my favorite bubble tea shop started serving ice cream just yesterday! Check it out:

These flavors are Jasmine Green Tea, Ube, Earl Grey Tea, and Thai Tea. And I gotta say, they were all REALLY GOOD; good enough to get past the, "oh no, it's a cold thing, and cold things feel like fire on my flesh" glitch that my body carries. I was unable to pick a favorite because they were all equally fabulous!

Hey Sephiroth? Have any of your friends ever taken you out to go get ice cream? Do you like ice cream? If you do, then what flavors do you like best? I know you can't answer me, and that kinda sucks, but I'll ask anyway; you deserve to have folks in your life who know and are willing to consider your preference and experiences. You deserve to consider your own preferences and experiences; when is the last time you thought about your favorite foods and favorite people and favorite places to go, anyway? It's good to revisit the memories and the things in our lives that bring us joy from time to time.

After I got home, I made the mac-n-chz. Do you like mac-n-chz? Have you ever had it? Have you ever prepared it? Have you ever had someone prepare it for you? I don't know the answers to these, so I'll walk you through the process, just in case; it's very simple, and the simple things are often the best things!

You start by doing the dishes! As explained some number of letters ago, I have music playing so that my brain doesn't get spooked by the fact that I'm doing a household task and accidentally do an involuntary mental time travel to a time when failing to do a housetask well enough or fast enough was a punishable offense, haha...

If you recall, this list I am using today is one that I reproduced on YouTube, just in case you might wanna give it a listen. But within this list, this item matches the inside of my mind most closely:

youtube

...And in case you're wondering why we do the dishes first, it's because the next step is to stick a pasta strainer in the sink, like this:

From there, you gotta get an ordinary pot and fill it about 2/3rds of the way with water, like this:

Then you gotta bring it to a boil. On my stove, it's easy; you just stick a lid on the pot and set the temperature of the burner to 9, and wait a little while:

While waiting for that, we can check the ingredients and instructions on the box, like so:

...Often enough, you'll end up disregarding some of these. For example, I didn't measure out the water. I did use goat's milk and goat's butter in the specified amounts, yes, but I used whole goat milk and slightly salted goat butter:

From there, we open the pasta box and take out the packets of powdered cheese:

Getting the cheese packet out of the box will make it easier to pour the noodles into the pot when the time comes!

On my stove, water takes about 20 minutes to boil, which is fine; it is common knowledge that this time passes quickly - as long as you're not watching the pot. That bit is very important; if you watch the pot, the time will instead move about as quickly as pouring molasses from a jar that has been left outside in the cold - which is to say, it won't. It's the law, and nobody knows why.

Oh hey, Sephiroth? Maybe you know why? You're over there experiencing quantum physics firsthand over at the Edge of Creation, right? Can you tell me why watched pots resist boiling? I wonder... Lemme know if you figure it out, okay?

In any case, you can put your noodles in the pot when the water reaches a rolling boil. A rolling boil looks like this:

I set the kitchen timer for 9 minutes just like the box said:

...Then I poured in the noodles!

From there, you have to stir constantly for the whole 9 minutes, or else the noodles will clump together, or stick to the bottom of the pot. You can put oil in the water to prevent this, but then the sauce won't stick to the noodles, and that is not ideal. Once the timer is done, you taste-test one of the noodles to make sure it's good:

9 minutes wasn't long enough to cook the noodles all the way through, so I gave it another 3 minutes; it was good after that.

The next step is to dump the contents of the pot into the strainer we prepared in the sink earlier. But this pot is kinda stupid (I need a new one) because the handles get really hot when you heat it up. So I put on my handy-dandy oven mitts:

...Mine are really long because I am dyspraxic; the possibility of burning my forearms on the heating elements when I put things into the oven or take things out of the oven is a real concern. So it's best to protect my whole forearm instead of just my hands, so that way I don't get hurt. Besides, if I put on my oven mitts and also my onion-cutting-goggles while holding my ceramic chef's knife, I can cackle maniacally in the kitchen like a crazed scientist and accidentally scare the socks off of passers-by near my window, and that's always a nice bonus! 🤪🤣 (Speaking of disturbing passers-by near my kitchen window, I am remembering this one time, when J and I were in the kitchen, and he was heckling me about the fact that I need to eat more fruit, so just to be silly, I started eating a banana in the most wildly inappropriate way I possibly could, just as some poor gentleman was dropping off food that M ordered. The flabbergasted look on the man's face as he peered into our window was ABSOLUTELY. PRICELESS!! Ahahahahaaaa~! 🤣🤣🤣)

(But that's what you get for peering into people's windows, so no, I am absolutely not sorry!!! Not even the tiniest little bit!!! 😂😂😂)

Anyway! So I drained the pasta:

From there, the bottom of the pot will still be warm, so you can use that to melt the butter; I am making two boxes of mac-n-chz, so we need 2 tablespoons of butter:

...Two boxes of this mac-n-chz calls for 8 tablespoons of milk; that's the same thing as half a cup:

Then you'll dump in the cheese packets, and use a whisk to make a sauce:

Then, you dump your noodles in and mix 'em up with the sauce:

...Finally, we have the bowl of mac-n-chz that I very much wish I could give to you:

...It's a simple and easy thing; not the fanciest. But it's still good. It's still wholesome. It's still full of love and joy. What I wouldn't give just to be able to hand you a bowl of this...

...Well, it is what it is. And all I can do is deal with it in the way that I know how. All I can do is write to you and hope that it gets through to you somehow...

...somehow...

...OH! I almost forgot!! On the way to do errands and get ice cream, the sky was really nice today, and I also saw a bumblebee! I know you like nature, so I thought to snap a couple pictures for you:

...ya know... just to remind you that the world is beautiful. Even when it's filled with senseless pain, even when people respond with rage and self-directed violence when you try to set a boundary, and even when your brain is being mean and trying to tell you that everything is hopeless. It's still beautiful when people tell you, directly or indirectly, that you don't belong, or that your words and the contents of your mind are less valuable than your physical vessel.

This world is still beautiful no matter how hard it tries to break you. And there is beauty within persisting, within refusing to stay on the ground, within rising up from your knees and choosing to live in wholesome love and joy. There is beauty within counting on the people around you and seeing through eyes other than your own when you can't muster up the strength by yourself.

Sephiroth, please don't give up. Because, yes, I know there's violence and greed and bloodshed and unimaginable amounts of suffering in this place. But there's also bumblebees and mac-n-chz and ice cream and tea and sunshine and the sky, and people who would do anything to give you these things, if only they could. And these things are worth fighting for. You just gotta open your eyes and set them on a new horizon.

I'll be right here until you come back, okay? I'll keep being right here, calling out to you, singing you a little song, and thinking of you anytime I get to experience wholesome, beautiful things. I'll be waiting right here, no matter how long it takes.

I love you, and I'll write again soon. Please stay safe.

Your friend, Lumine

Please rant about more stuff! I absolutely love listening to what different people's headcanons and stuff are!! /gen /pos (only if you want to tho-)

I- D-Did you just ask me to rant about more stuff? About my hcs??? What jewel would you like on your wedding ring?/p /j now once again here's a mix of some tickle and non tickle stuff!!! Sorry this took awhile to respond too but I kept adding onto it so- Also warning- Like one swear-

--------------------------------------------------

- C!Tommy gets frequent stomach aches. It isn't anything bad since nothing else happens during them just an upset tummy! But during these stomach aches Tommy likes to lay down with his friends, preferably outside! The grass feels nice to him. Ranboo and Tubbo do it the most often and Wilbur sometimes does it but Tommy gets a bit embarassed asking him too so Wilbur's learned the signs of when Tommy's not feeling well. "Why don't we lay down toms hm?"

- When cc!Tubbo gets headaches, More Often then not Tommy will use one of those weird massage things that go on your head on Tubbo, but it always ends up tickling him. "Wahahit TOHOHMMMY- NOHOHO-"

- Between me and you Tubbo is a squealer, he won't ever admit it but if you tickle him when he's not focused he squeals- Its actually adorable

- C!Tubbo makes sound effects while eating- He literally does "num num num". He never noticed it but he says it helps him eat faster (C!Tommy tried it once because he was very curious. He was very embarrassed when Ranboo walked in on him)

Favorite hc - Tubbo loves giving nibbles, it's not even cause it's a good technique he just likes the idea of being able to bite people and get away with it. When he first told Tommy that, Tommy looked at him with his mouth open before- "What the fuck?"

- I talked about the tickle fight between cc!Tubbo and c!Tubbo but what about Tommy and Ranboo? Well between cc!Ranboo and c!Ranboo they would probably stop halfway to go tickle cc!Tubbo but without that cc!Ranboo would win!... Nah I'm kidding c!Ranboo would, have you seen his tail???? Cc!Ranboo would crumble.

- Now between the Tommy's? I don't actually know.. I think it depends on whoever figures out faster they have the same tickle spots because one of the Tommy's will figure it out and go for the others sides then the other will crumble-

- you wanna know a technique that kills Tubbo? Of course you do- Surprisingly c!Tubbo is weak against baby talk, it literally kills him. c!Tommy was the one to find this out and he makes sure to do it whenever Tubbo's being annoying- "Awww Tubbo arwen't you twhe cutest!!" Or he uses the voice- you know like the one where he first found shroud?? But more menacing- Tubbo will have all the fight melt out of him when someone does that

- The Bench trio are all provoking little crapheads but all of that drains when around Wilbur- they know he won't hesitate to tickle them anywhere, anytime. He does it on vlogs, on lives, during serious lore- Actually scratch that. Everyone knows not to try and provoke Wilbur because if he finds out you are, he will tickle you to pieces.

- this man knows ALL the techniques. Raspberries, Nibbles, Tracing. You name it he knows it! He doesn't have a favorite technique but does have favorite teases. Tickle monster teases are his favorite- "You better keep running~ or else the big bad tickle monster might catch up to youuu~!!"

- Ranboo says L alot while tickling- "Not here? Why? Is it because of this spot? The spot that my skittering fingers are going near? Ohh.. Okay I guess I'll move over here- just kidding im going for your melt spot- L"

#positive rambles #lee!tubbo #ler!ranboo #hcs??#positive is very happy someone asked!! :D #Postive in real life is doing :D #ler!wilbur #ler!tommy

Y'all y'all y'all y'all.. Forgot to post about this but I'm making a new show of my own titled "Pinespire"!!!

The show follows Shelly, the creative protagonist who's literally me, who loves meeting with her friends in Pinespire which is this little medieval town based on "Helen". It's also known as "the town where weird things happen" because weird nonsense happens everyday in that town. The citizens are pretty much used to it. There's gonna also probably be so many magical beings who exist in this show because they live in a fantasy location.. Maybe one of the magical beings casted a spell on Pinespire and that's why weird things are happening everyday in that town in the first place.

About Shelly's character.. She loves art and nature. She winds up working at the art camp in Pinespire due to it being art outside in the wilderness. There could maybe be a scene where she teaches "the different shapes in the clouds", where you were to look up at the clouds and come up with ideas on what they look like.

Aside from art and nature, she's also OBSESSED with Christmas but only really brings up her insane Christmas obsession during the Christmas specials. It wouldn't make sense for her to randomly bring up Christmas at her art camp. Shelly also loves to play the tambourine and is usually playing it at her art camp when talking about the art of music.

Every episode of the show's gonna focus on each of the friends, or all of the friends, so we can see what they all act like or what they all do either at home or in Pinespire. Maybe one or more of these friends in this friend group has a rival or a special interest or power. Maybe Shelly gets gifted the power of bringing people together or some shit like that /j..

There's also this royal villain duo who want to destroy Pinespire because it took over their land and/or replaced their land. They also hate whimsy and fun.. They're all about being "logical" or "serious" except for their son, who's this villainous prince but he's not as evil as those 2. He has some goofiness in him, and a soft side, while still keeping a rather cruel or pompous attitude.

The royalty are usually sending their son into the town to try and destroy and/or ruin the place. There are also times where they want their son to try and scare away everyone in the village so they can try and tear it apart that way.. But Shelly and the gang are always obliviously getting in the way.

The friend group shenanigans is gonna probably be the A plot... Meanwhile the prince acting goofy in town, working in literally every store, and failing miserably with his stuff is gonna be the B plot. I'm thinking maybe him getting a new job in every episode could be a running gag. He thinks getting a new job and acting foolish during the job will run people out of the village with how poor the service is. He also thinks it's an easy way to find Shelly and the gang obviously…

This show's gonna be quite simple, but as original as possible y'know? It's still a W.I.P for now as well.. It might get even more original in the future..!

The prince is also probably gonna secretly fall in love with Shelly without telling anyone. He is gonna act like a nervous wreck everytime he sees her but not to the point of the show getting annoying. Another running gag could POSSIBLY be him getting distracted by Shelly every time he's trying to do something villainous... But I feel that'd make people hate the show lmao..

Also... To end this discussion about the prince... He'd probably end up having a soft spot for the village and its people. Instead of instantly having a crush on Shelly, he'd probably slowly grow to have a crush on her without anyone knowing. At first he'd probably wanna try scaring Shelly and her friends out the village so he can destroy it, but then comes to a realization he has a bit of a crush on her and acts like a socially awkward person around her.

Meanwhile... Shelly doesn't even know who he truly is, because he's always in some job outfit every time he's meeting Shelly.. And Shelly thinks he's just some weird man who's failing at everything he's doing, and not some serious threat. Shelly absolutely cannot stand the prince acting like a Pinespire citizen, because she thinks he's absolutely bonkers.

The prince doesn't want to reveal who he is to Shelly, because he's afraid Shelly would know who he is and become absolutely terrified, when in reality Shelly has a secret crush on him as the prince and not him acting like a citizen. Miraculous ladybug ass moment /j

Shelly has a crush on the prince, because she heard about the prince several times on the news, and thought he was really cute. Her friends would tease her about it, in a playful way of course! They'd say things like “imagine if the prince met you in person and fell in love with you”, when that's foreshadowing what happens later.

Shelly is also very well hidden or calm about her crush on him as a prince too.. Not bringing it up much unless it's with her friends.. Also unlike most girls in cartoons crushing hard on men, she isn't even that creepy or obnoxious about it at all. She actually has her limits when it comes to crushing if this makes sense. She KNOWS how obnoxious people can get with their crushes. She's seen it several times before.

Anywho yeah… Shelly crushes on the prince, not knowing that the prince is actually in the town dressed up as random ass workers each time. Shelly hates every one of them and KNOWS for a fact it's some random guy dressed up as a different worker because of how poor his job disguises are.. Like he doesn't look like himself as a prince at least, but he can't come up with a different job disguise as if he only has one set of clothes.

Also yet again.. The simping in this show won't be extreme nor will it be the whole plot of the series... The simping is only a special addition to the show... Adding onto both the prince and Shelly's personality throughout their separate adventures. Plus I'm literally a person who has massive crushes on fictional characters so of course I'm adding this in, don't judge me..! :)

I could see the soundtrack of this show being very fantasyland-like… OR maybe Carousel music could work. Also despite the friend group being based on my closest friends I was thinking of making it a diverse cast..

Also I forgot to mention this.. But the reason why the village is called "Pinespire" is because all the buildings are made of pine wood and look like those fantasy or German buildings. Another reason it's called this is because all the trees surrounding that place are pine trees, and the village's logo would probably be a pinecone..

Or heck maybe the most famous restaurant at that place could be called the pine cone restaurant or something like that..,,

If you're interested and/or want to make it better.. Join this Discord server! :D

There's more info on it there! Hshhsvvsv.,,

ok you asked for these in an ask. Id say reblog the post before answering so that people know what the questions are. But here i go

any character you feel like applies: 32, 43, 11

ffm: 38 for techno, 15 for 312, 9 for ari, 15 for viktor, 1 for 925... and... 16 for cindy

The four welsh lads: 21. And 39. All of em.

factory: 40 for the demolition crew guy. 33 for any of em.

ghosts: 30 for... any of them honestly.

And finally... theres a bit at the bottom for questions for the oc makers themselves... C and J for any of your ffm fellas.

hope thats not too much to chew on

32: Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? (Aehms and Smith)

Aehms would always be ready to launch into a tangent about the labs to anyone who happened to cross his path. Customers at a cafe, passengers in buses, even pedestrians who happened to bump into him on the street... Everyone, really. Alternatively, Smith loves to tell stories about growing up and living on the apple farm, and he even has a cache of apple-related jokes to those who care for that. (kinda half-brained this one tbh)

43: If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? (Jose)

If you asked Jose what his sexuality was, he'd tell you he's straight, but he certainly wouldn't give that answer to you straight. There would be like 3 separate tangents he'd go on to explain it, and one of them would probably involve him subconsciously promoting some kind of personal grooming product. That fabulous stache factors into a lot of aspects of his life

11: How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)? (Benson)

Benson would, as he does, immediately tie the confusion he's having to some kind of paranormal activity. He'd then become hyper-focused on finding an explanation that confirms this, and most of the time be let down once the clouds of confusion are lifted

38: What memory do they revisit the most often? (Techno)

For Techno, that would be the time he was recorded having the playful "fight" that was recorded by a bystander and spiraled into the false rivalry that's essentially consumed his career. Considering how much this changed the direction of his life, he revisits this one a whole heck of a lot.

15: How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? (312)

312 has a natural talent for being casual with his speech, with his whole carefree attitude and all, but he buckles down when something gets him in a serious mood. That doesn't happen all too often, though

9: Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word? (Ari)

The incident that sparked his passion for thrill seeking: In his grade school years, he once stumbled just before a set of stairs, jumped down the whole flight of them accidentally, and landed on his two feet perfectly by happenstance. "Damn!"

As for regular swearing, you don't see Ari do much of it unless he's having a really fun time

15: How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? (Viktor)

As impulsive and loud as he is, Viktor doesn't really have much of a "filter". That being said, the fact that he's a good soul at heart means that he doesn't often stumble into trouble because of it... But there are times when miscommunications and slip-ups put him in Situations.

1: What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? (925)

(I gotta try and be more vague about comic spoilers now that I'm porting it all over here to Tumblr, if I haven't already done enough damage as it is) Due to the way that he now is, he has a much higher tolerance for staying still doing nothing than he did before. Soaking up the sun has become a much more fulfilling activity, both physically and mentally

16: What makes their stomach turn? (Cindy)

You know when you go to the breakfast room at a hotel and the scrambled eggs are all dry, the bread's a little stale, the fruit feels noticeably old & they don't have any of the good kinds of cereal? Instant one star review. Shame upon thine entire franchise

21: Why do they get up in the morning? (Welshmen)

I thought this said HOW they get up in the morning at first so I was trying to formulate their entire get-up routine, but now that I see the question again... I think their reasons are all generally the same. To carry on living the lives they believe they ought to live, no matter what the universe keeps throwing at them

39: How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?

With what they tend to go through, they've got to keep their guards up more than the average person usually would. So any suspicious behavior and they kinda just book it (Clyde especially has to deal with a lot of weirdies, for lack of a better term)

40: How sensitive are they to their own flaws? (Demo Crew Manager)

He doesn't like to speak much, and when he does talk with people, it usually goes south. Negative friendship Sims icon type interactions. So he's kind of sensitive about how he approaches people and what he gets from conversations

33: Could they be considered lazy?

In the context of the situation they get thrust in, they're fighting for their fucking lives (whether they fail or succeed depends on the choices you make as a player!) But in their day-to-day lives they're all pretty average

30: Who do they most regret meeting? (Emile)

I think Emile kind of regrets meeting everyone except for the close friend group she ends up becoming a ghost with. I know she regrets meeting that one cop who stuck her in his car just before the "wrecking ball woopsy-daisy"

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

Honestly I kind of never really knew what to do with Owen. He's kind of not really much of a character on his own, more of a prop to others than anything else... A static character, as they say. Ah well, some people just take the backseat when you've got an ensemble cast

J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?

I've tried my absolute best to stay within the confines of the Flipverse when making my comic, even avoiding words like "Earth" and "God" because the planet they live on might be called something else & religion in the flipverse might not be like ours. That being said, I like to think there are certain constants that exist between both worlds. Really specific miscellaneous things, like the existence of Frank Sinatra and The Office

This was a fun little exercise! I know I took a fuckton of time to answer it, but I honestly wouldn't mind doing another one of these some other time. You'll probably wanna use a different list though, because now I'm closing the tab that had all the questions on it

#I think I struggled with the ''anyone who applies'' asks the most #I got a huge list of characters that makes it tough to settle on any specifics #long post

Sitting On The Shelf - Marcus White x Reader

Part 17 - Halloween Theft

SOTS Masterlist

"Today is a high-alert day. I can't stress enough the importance of being vigilant and cautious in light of the serious threats we'll be facing." Dina warned, hand firmly against her hip as she debriefed you all on how serious today seemed to be.

"Dina's right. So everybody keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Okay? Good." His hotdog costume bumping into Dina slightly as she spoke, causing you to let out a giggle. Trying quickly to hide it behind a cough, Dina still managed to catch it and glared at you.

"Let's watch out for people buying toilet paper, eggs, shaving cream, ketchup, your squeezables, your squirtables everything is a weapon today, okay?" Dina announced, eyes flickering across the crowd she had gathered at the store front; everyone dressed in bright, unusual costumes the only thing the same was the blue vests and the name tags scattered across everyone.

"Dee," you sighed, resting your weight on one leg as you folded your arms across your chest. "Some of those are just household necessities."

"What about guns?" Garrett asked, which you were sure would still be fine. Guns weren't the lethal weapon 'the kids' seemed to use to cause torment over the Halloween buildup.

"Those are fine." Dina confirmed with a slight nod of her head. "Incidentally, that costume is ridiculous. Professor X doesn't drink martinis."

"Yes, but James Bond does." Garrett replied, putting on his best impression of a British accent as he spoke. You loved Garrets impressions; sure they weren't the best but they always managed to elicit a chuckle from you and Jonah.

"Oh, come on, Dina. Stop being the Halloween version of Scrooge, whatever that is." Amy commanded, stomping her staff into the ground before her as she teased Dina. "Oh, Booge! Boo, Scrooge. I just thought of that." A wide smile crossed Amy's face at the revelation.

"Yeah, don't be such a Booge. Put on a costume." Jonah added, using Amy's newly coined word, making her smile just a little bit wider. A loud chorus calling Dina a 'booge' echoed around the store.

"Ooh, peer pressure from a group of people I don't respect. Now, that's scary." Dina chastised, quickly bringing the shouts to a end and a sulk onto your face; you'd wish for once Dina would take part, she'd probably surprise herself with how much fun she'd have. "I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Sandra's the only other grown-up here."

"Actually, I am dressed up. I'm you." Sandra sheepishly admitted, looking away from Dina's piercing gaze as she stared her down at the admission.

"Shut up, Sandra." Sandra muttered to herself, imitating Dina's common use of the phrase.

"Shut up, Sandra!" Dina shouted much louder then Sandra had, resulting in a round of laughter from everyone gathered at the store front.

"Oh, my God, that's so cool. You're gonna be twinsies." Mateo cheered, pointing between the two Dina's with enthusiasm.

"No, we're not." Dina insisted her face becoming dusted with red at her anger.

"Wait, you guys should stand together all day." Cheyenne suggested; whether or not she knew it would get Dina to cave, it would definitely get a rise out of her, which you deemed a step in the right direction.

"I'm up for it." Sandra admitted with a shy smile, everyone cheering her on as they lived the idea of having Dina and Dina for the day.

"Yeah, I'm gonna find a costume to put on." Dina let out a deep, frustrated sigh, stomping away from the crowd to try and find a costume before she got forced into being teamed up with Sandra all day.

"Booge." You and Amy spat, hidden behind obnoxiously fake coughs, making the two of you start to laugh at each other.

"So, looking forward to tonight J?" You asked, trying to make some small talk while you waited for Dina's return.

"Of course, who doesn't love German Expressionism?" Jonah asked, and though you knew his question was rhetorical, you still gave him an answer.

"Me." With a gentle nudge to the side of your ribs, Jonah complained about your disagreement.

"If you don't like it, why do you always agree to come with?" He probed, poking you in your side at the question.

"Because it's you, dipshit." Jonah placed him hands dramatically on his chest, across where his heart should be, stumbling back slightly as though you had greatly wounded him.

"Well, I think-" Jonah began, though he was suddenly cut off by Dina's re-arrival annoyed clearly by a round of gasps.

"So let's keep an eye out for teens, tweens, people who look inappropriately large or small ...are you guys even listening to me? Hello?" Dina asked, the rooms shocked into silence by the 'sexy police officer' costume she had put on - out of everything she could've chosen?

Not that you were complaining; the outfit complimented Dina insanely well, but you never would've imagined Dina of all people to pick such an outfit.

A general hum of agreement came from you and your co-workers, each more surprised then the last by Dina's new look, having been sharply been broken from the trance you had all seemed to be in by her harsh tone.

"Holy shit." You mouthed to Garrett who stood to the right of you, both of you shocked to stillness by the events of this morning; Halloween was always interesting in cloud 9, but this? This was probably the most interesting thing so far.

————————————————————————

"It's a interesting costume." Garrett stated, leaning against the customer service counter, head against palm as he stared at Dina.

"Yeah, you know, what's crazy are those the boots." Jonah stumbled over his words, face becoming redder and redder as he couldn't tear his eyes away from Dina either. "Yes, definitely the boots."

"Really?" You asked, tearing your eyes away from Dina to look between the two guys beside you. "Cause I wont lie, I'm literally just staring at her boobs right now."

"I cannot stop staring at her giant breasts." Amy announced, suddenly appearing beside you at the customer service counter. Shuffling down and closer to Jonah, you stayed atop the counter but gave room for Amy to lean it on as well.

"See!" You cried, defending your previous actions as you were definitively assured that you weren't the only one entranced by Dina's un-Dina-like outfit.

"You know, now that you both say it I'm seeing it." Jonah admitted with faux revelation - of course he and Garrett had been staring.

"You guys, relax. We all think she looks hot, okay?" Amy assured, the four of you still staring at Dina in her police costume as she yelled at a customer.

"Like, seriously, smoking hot." You confirmed, you and Amy nodding at each other in agreement. Dina was good looking - you wouldn't deny that, come costume or her normal uniform - but there was something about the skimpy costume that seemed to have everyone realising it on a different level today.

"No, not me." Garrett defended, forcibly bringing his eyes away from Dina and turning to look at the three of you. "I mean, maybe with another personality in that body, sure, ta-dow, but you got to factor in the Dina that lies beneath."

————————————————————————

"Funny, I've never been, uh never been assigned here before." Jonah announced as the two of you walked up to the Jewellery counter where Cheyenne was already fiddling about with the displays of rings and bracelets.

"I have, a lot." You whined, slipping into the stall shaped counter and pushing yourself up to sit on it. "You're not missing out J."

You had probably worked at the Jewellery counter more than any other department within the store; not that you were complaining exactly. It was easy work, often quiet and you could try on all the bracelets, rings and necklaces while you were there. Not to mention the fact that it required so little effort to maintain that no one would come to check up on you, so you could just go on your phone or - like back when you were in high school - try and get homework done.

It was fun and easy and usually didn't require more then one person to run it for the day. However, on days like Halloween, you could understand why the tacky store jewellery may been seen as more of a priority.

"Jewellery's a real can of worms in terms of feminism, you know?" Jonah stated blankly, seemingly trying to make an attempt at small talk with Cheyenne.

"And how is that?" You asked teasingly, trying on different bangles and shimming more and more up the length of your arm. Cheyenne however, remained silent still, fiddling with items on the counter and minding her own business.

"This is great. This is great, us working together. I feel like we never really had the chance to to to bond, really." Jonah probed, trying to get a response out of Cheyenne while ignoring your question; though you wouldn't be surprised if you got a detailed explanation at some point later on.

"Yeah, totally." She mindlessly agreed, Jonah turning to you with an exasperated look on his face. Cheyenne was always chill and down for a chat, so it was probably the fact her ideal chat wasn't with Jonah that was making her so quiet.

"Oh I'm totally going to enjoy this." You whispered, mostly to yourself, leaning your weight back onto the palms of your hands slightly more.

"Attention, Cloud 9 shoppers." Garrets voice boomed over the intercom, startling you enough to nearly slip from the glass surface of the counter. "I vant to suck your blood and test it for diabetes. At-home insulin kits are now half off. Are you looking for spook-tacular savings? Because Cloud 9 has it all. You can get, um, the...uh."

Garrett's voice suddenly and suspiciously trailed off, the intercom silencing too before quickly crackling to life once more. "Attention, shoppers, I vant to suck your blood. Oh, I did that one. Oh."

"Everybody freeze!" Ah, so that explained Garrett's sudden silence. Dina voice boomed I've the intercom, shoppers and staff alike freezing all across the expanse of the store. "There's been an employee theft in the store. Nobody can leave. I repeat, no one. Can everyone report to the break room for an emergency meeting. Well, sorry, I, I actually just meant the employees. Customers can leave. So unfreeze."

"Well, we best get going." You suggested, Jonah offering a hand out to you to help you off of the countertop.

Walking side by side towards the break room, you leaned in to Jonah's side, hoping that Cheyenne who was only a few paces ahead of you wouldn't hear.

"Chey isn't really interested by your usual sort of conversation J. If you want her to open up, gossip or something y'know - interesting to a normal person - is the way to go." Patting his reassuringly on the shoulder, you dragged him into the break room, slouching down into your usual seat; Jonah on your left, Garret on your right.

Dina once more stood at the head of the room, all eyes on her, with her hands firm on her hips and a scowl on her lips. "At 8:24, a crate of irregular produce was put in the cage to be returned to fulfilment and destroyed. Now it's missing."

"I'm sorry." Jonah interrupted, sitting up straighter in his chair as he began to speak. "Irregular produce? You mean rotten?"

"No, what I'm talking about is lumps, bumps, extra appendages, apples that look like pears, pears that look like guavas." Dina explained, scoffing slightly at Jonah's initial interruption.

"So we're just throwing away perfectly good food because it's ugly?" Jonah asked, his face scrunching in confusion at the revelation - you didn't agree yourself with the practice, but it was corporate policy, which was easier to go with them go against.

"Looks matter, Jonah. You should know that, being the prettiest person in here." Glenn accused, Jonah's face flushing a deep red at the incrimination he was pretty.

"Yeah Jonah, you little pretty boy." You teased, his face becoming even redder, if that were possible, as much of the break room was now giving him their undivided attention.

"I will be interrogating each and every one of you. No one leaves until I find out who did it." Dina commanded, a round of groans coming from everyone in the break room.

"Are you joking? Dina we've all got plans." You whined, head thrown back as a deep groan came from your chest; Dina always had a way of messing up that days that were supposed to be fun within the store.

"No, you can't just keep us here. I'm going trick-or-treating with my daughter." Amy insisted, hoping that it would trigger some kind of emotional response in Dina and prevent her from keeping everyone here until the fruit was found. Did she even have the power to do that?

"Y/n and I are going to a screening of "Nosferatu" at the Tivoli," Jonah exclaimed before meekly adding. "If anybody else wants to come."

"Wow, that sounds really terrible." Garrett said, essentially saying no to the invite, with a scoff.

"It probably will be very terrible, Gare." You whispered to the man on your left, eliciting a smile from him. "But Jonah invited me and who am I to say no? If I asked, he'd come, no matter how ridiculous what I wanted to see was."

"Okay, listen, none of this is my problem. Justice does not stop for your plans." Dina spat, eyes scanning across the break room for any sign of a guilty face over the missing fruit. If it was going to be thrown out anyway, it didn't make sense as to why Dina was so concerned over it.

"Glenn, you're not gonna let her do this to us, right?" Amy cried, turning to Glenn as a last resort to overpower Dina as the store manager.

"Absolutely not." Glenn confirmed, a frown crossing his face at Dina's bossy attitude.

"Interrogations start immediately." Dina revealed before storming out of the break room, going to set up somewhere to interrogate each and every one of you.

"Well, if it's already starting." Glenn shrugged in defeat, groans coming from all around at the notion that you may actually be forced to stay here long after closing to sooth Dina's antics.

————————————————————————

"Topics, topics, topics." Jonah muttered to himself, trying to figure out a good enough conversation starter that Cheyenne would respond to his questions. Suddenly struck with a good idea, at least what Jonah thought was a good idea, he ran around the counter to stand next to Cheyenne. "Oh, uh, who do you think stole the produce?"

"I was thinking, okay, maybe Marcus. He's been to prison before for public peeing." Cheyenne admitted, a mischievous smile curling onto her face at the use of the word 'peeing.'

"Marcus?" You asked in disbelief. Marcus didn't seem like the type to steal, not misshapen fruit at least. "No, I don't think it would be Marcus. Is he even in today? I've not seen him yet."

Suddenly you became wary of the fact that he could be nearby and hearing your conversation, looking left and right to make sure he wasn't there. It wasn't that you didn't want to see Marcus, it was more so that you wanted to make sure you looked good before he saw you.

You'd already thought you'd looked pretty good; the ruffled shirt had a deep v-cut exposing the skin of your chest and had billowing sleeves, the fabric of the shirt stayed tight against you from the brown waistcoat you had layered on top of the shirt, your arms and neck were littered with an array of jewellery (most of which was borrowed from the counter you stood before right now) and the pirate hat you were wearing was slanted on your head.

In your own opinion, you looked more then good, you looked hot. But god knows what Marcus would think.

"Really? I though you guys were doing a couples costume?" The question brought a deep, red blush to your cheeks, but as the words registered in your mind, you grew more confused then anything.

"W-what? What are you on about Chey?" You asked apprehensively, knowing that if Cheyenne had heard some kind of rumour about you and Marcus, it wouldn't be long until the whole store had heard a rumour about you and Marcus.

"Y'know, 'cause you're both dressed as pirates. I thought you'd planned it?" She shrugged off your question as though it was the most obvious answer in the world; at least it wasn't some kind of rumour being sent around the store.

"Well, anyway," Jonah began, taking attention away from the fact you and Marcus were unintentionally matching, and bringing it to him instead. He truest was a good friend. "I was thinking Mary, because I heard that she's drinking again."

"No." Cheyenne gasped, Jonah excitedly nodding along at the fact he had enticed her into some kind of conversation. "Alcohol?"

"I think so, yeah." Jonah's face held a very surprised expression, though he quickly brushed it away, pushing away from the counter and moving next to you.

Dee <3 | Come for your interrogation now. Bring Jonah. You'll know where to find me.

"Come on pretty princess, Dina awaits." You grabbed Jonah's wrist, pulling him alongside you with a brief goodbye to Cheyenne and a promise to return before she knew it.

"I think you're just jealous Glenn called me the prettiest person in the store." Jonah joked, pushing his way through the doors into the back of the store in search of Dina.

"You keep thinking that J."

————————————————————————

"Did I steal the fruit? No." Jonah questioned himself for the umpteenth time in a row. You'd far lost the point of coming here for Dina's interrogation when Jonah was practically conducting one on himself. "Was it an act of civil disobedience that I admire? Yes. Do I know who stole it? No."

"Stop interrogating yourself." Dina spat, hand rubbing against her temple as a scowl settled across her face; clearly fed up with Jonah's antics. It was far clear that neither of you had stolen the fruit, but Dina was too dignified to end the interrogation until it was over on her terms.

"Why are we being... y'know, interrogated together? Everyone else has come in individually." You asked, confused as to why the two of you had been paired together; if anything you'd have assumed you'd be questioned with Amy, to two of you coming to and from work together most of the time - you'd make for an easy alibi and coverup for one another.

"Well, I figured individually, neither of you could've pulled this off. But as a team? You've got a good chance of being the culprits." Dina answered honestly, and you weren't sure wether to be offended that she thought you not competent enough to commit such a crime on your own, or happy that you and Jonah had been titled the 'terrible two' of the store.

"Wouldn't it have made sense to interrogate us separately then? See if we give you different stories, try and put us against one another?" You asked; genuinely confused by Dina's tactics but also trying to wiggle your way out of the room while you had the chance as this was clearly going nowhere.

"Y/n," Dina began, crossing her hands in front of her on top of the table in an assertive position. "Completely unrelated, but I'm going to need you to leave the room for a moment."

Standing silently from you chair, you left the room with an apologetic smile in Dina's direction; knowing she wouldn't be able to put up with Jonah's self-interrogation for much longer.

"Do I like fruit? Yes. What's my favourite fruit? Tropical. Be more specific. Mango." Jonah continued his questioning as you left the room, walking as quickly as you could away from the interrogation as to not be called back inside at a moments notice.

Your haste was also greatly aided by the fact you knew a certain someone was working today and you were matching in your costumes.

————————————————————————

"Ahoy there." You said as you walked up to Marcus, the taller man turning around at your greeting; words quickly failing him as he noticed how your outfit matched with his own.

"Y/n Hey! Hi. You look-" Giving him a twirl, you tripped over your own feet, falling into Marcus who happily caught you in his arms, pulling you up to stand properly. "Great. Hot."

"Hot?" You asked, both your faces becoming red at the question: neither could quite believe that Marcus had just said that out loud.

"Yeah." He answered almost breathlessly, both of you surprised by the boldness of his confirmation. "It's a great costume, you really do look good."

"What an honour to hear from you, my dearest captain." Marcus smiled widely at the term of endearment, the distance between the two of you practically non-existent and outfits that could easily mistake you for a couple.

"Aw cute!" Cheyenne cheered from behind you, causing the two of you to quickly break apart and suddenly become very interested in the floor. "I totally knew it was a couples costume."

"Oh Chey-" You began, though were quickly cut off by her asking you a question, her head over-run with the cuteness she'd just witnessed.

"I'll get you a picture." She offered, immediately pulling out her phone and gesturing for the two of you to step closer to each other.

Settling for simply wrapping your arm around Marcus, you moved closer to him, however, the brunette seemed to have other ideas in mind; wrapping one arm around your midriff and another in the bend of your knees, scooping you up into his arms and pulling you close to his chest.

At the sudden motion, you let out a loud gasp followed by uncontrollable laughter, a hand coming to rest against Marcus chest as you steadied yourself.

"Perfect!" Cheyenne gasped, taking a series of pictures of the two of you as Marcus held you in his arms. Shaking your own hat off of your head, you traded it for Marcus more extravagant one, placing it slantedly atop your own head.

As Cheyenne out her phone away, you eased yourself from Marcus's hold, turning to face the man with a glistening smile.

"So how long have you been together?" Cheyenne's innocent enough question had the two of you breaking apart from each other once again; both wearing a bright red blush and stumbling through an answer.

"Will all employees please meet me in the Warehouse for a secret meeting? Don't tell Dina. Secret meeting." Amy, your saving grace, whispered through the intercom, giving you your chance to escape the awkward situation.

"Oh, duty calls. We best get going Chey." Swapping Marcus's hat for your own, you quickly grabbed Cheyenne's hand and began to drag the two of you towards the warehouse for Amy's 'secret' meeting.

"See you around, Captain."

————————————————————————

"We all have plans tonight, right?" Amy asked, receiving an general hum of agreement at the question. "Okay, well, plans or no plans, whoever took the fruit should just give it back, and we'll just tell Dina that it was misplaced. Okay?"

"Great. So who took it? Come on, guys. No one's perfect." Amy probed, hoping to get who ever stole the fruit to fess up before Dina had the store on a lockdown. "I used to shoplift from the mall all the time. Mostly black lipstick. I was going through a phase. But we all do things we regret. So..."

"I'm not even a member of the Sierra Club. I just put the sticker on my bumper." Jonah admitted, playing into whatever Amy was trying to do; hoping it would get someone to confess so you wouldn't be trapped in the store tonight.

"I'm still on my moms phone plan even though I've not lived with her for over a year." You revealed with a shrug, hoping your admission was enough for whatever 'circle of trust' Amy was trying to form.

"I cat fished my school nurse, and she ended up moving to Australia to meet a picture of Michael Fassbender when he was young." Cheyenne admitted, receiving several genuinely interested looks at her admission compared to the rest of you.

"Okay, now does anybody want to confess to taking the fruit?" Amy provoked, hoping that now she had shown everyone did weird stuff and kept secrets, the culprit would reveal themselves.

"I have some questions about what Cheyenne said." Garrett replied, his hand coming to rest against his temple as he dwelled on what exactly she had just said.

"Fassbender?" You asked, suddenly becoming more interested in the whole situation as you took in the depths of Cheyenne's words; it wasn't the weirdest thing you'd heard from her, but it was new and unusual. "Like the Xmen guy?"

"Yeah. Magneto." Garrett confirmed, turning his head to look at you.

"I get it. I'd move to Australia too if I thought it was him asking." You agreed, understanding Cheyenne's teachers otherwise outlandish behaviour; he was good looking, to an almost abnormal degree.

"Fine. Forget it." Amy scoffed, defeated in her attempts to try and find the fruit thief so she could just get home already.

"She works at a smoothie stand on the beach now." Cheyenne continued, explaining the aftermath of her catfishing ventures. "I think she's happy."

Dispersing from the secret meeting, you grabbed Jonah, once again dragging him towards the Jewellery counter with Cheyenne somewhere in tow. As you walked, your phone buzzed in your pocket.

Chai ☆彡| *3 new images*

Deciding you didn't want Jonah to catch a glimpse of the photos, you quickly swiped the notification away before closing you phone and shoving it back into your pocket.

————————————————————————

"And Susie went to Mexico for liposuction, but something happened, and now she has a bunch of bugs in her butt." Cheyenne continued her rant, you shift almost over, but not close enough to ending where you could lounge around the break room and call it a day.

"Gross." You shuddered at the story, weirded out by the whole thing despite it not being the worst thing you'd heard of Cheyenne's friends.

"Wow, I'm really rooting for that story to be true. Hey, uh, what do people say about me?" Jonah asked, suddenly turning the topic of the conversation to him.

"Nothing." Cheyenne answered at the same time as you said "What don't they?" receiving a playful shove from Jonah return.

"Oh, come on, come on. I'm sure you've heard something. It's fine. It's fine. I can...thick skin." Jonah tried to persuade Cheyenne, holding she'd cave and he could hear some gossip about himself since his time beginning at the store.

"Okay, well some people think that you wear a wig." Cheyenne began, Jonah's mouth forming a wide 'o' shape at the accusation.

"And some people thing you have fake teeth." You added, watching as Jonah's face seemed to contort through the 5 stages of grief as each rumour was admitted. "Oh! And there was a rumour you were just face-birthmark Tony post plastic surgery for a while."

"Oh yeah! And some people think that you have a crush on Amy, and some people think that you're a Sea Org, whatever that is." You heard that rumour; in fact you were pretty sure you and Garrett had started both of those rumours. But at this point the Amy one seemed impossible for him to dismiss.

You saw the way he looked at her; it's same way he had looked at you.

"Wait, people think I have a crush on Amy?" Jonah asked, his face dusted pink at the rumour that was apparently well spread thought out the store. It was obvious to everyone but him about his feelings apparently. "What? She's married. That's, I mean not that you can't have a crush on someone who's married, but I mean, you know, yuck. You know, not yuck. I think she's pretty. But she's not, like, pretty-pretty. I mean, she's I don't know. That's insane. Who's saying like, who specifically who's saying that?"

"Just people." Cheyenne shrugged, either not noticing or not caring for the worried tone in which Jonah had rushed out an army of excuses.

"Like, everyone. Me included. But don't worry pretty boy Jonah, it's not like Amy knows." You half reassured and half teased, reaching out to grab the upper half of his arm and squeezing it gently. You didn't remove yourself from him, instead rubbing soothing circles into the exposed flesh.

"It doesn't matter if she knows or not, cause its not true anyway." Jonah defended, folding his arms across his chest and moving away from you as he began to pace back and forth in deep thought.

"Sure." Cheyenne said, nervous laughter escaping her throat.

"Oh my god, PBJ, pretty boy Jonah." You gasped at the sudden realisation; the food themed nickname matching your own perfectly. "I just thought of that."

————————————————————————

Having said your goodbyes to Cheyenne, and having wished Dina the best of luck in her efforts of finding the fruit, you grabbed your things from your locker. Walking out of the store, Jonah and Garrett in tow, you bumped into Amy.

"Do you guys have any plans?" She asked, linking arms with you as you walked in the cold, October night air. You absolutely adored how it got darker earlier in the fall and winter months, the cold and dark nights the perfect excuse to get all cosy and warm.

"We're seeing "Nosferatu."" Jonah told her, having briefly mentioned to you on your way out of the store that Garrett was going to tag along too; something you never would've expected, but after the unusual events of the store today, you weren't so surprised.

"Yeah, I don't know why I'm going, but I'm just in a weird head space today." Garrett admitted, a far off look in his eyes.

"Which is exactly how you want to see German expressionism." Jonah encouraged, his hands tucking tightly into his pockets as the wind blew, making everything feel a little colder then it should.

"Oh yay! Another movie I won't understand anything about. How do I always get roped into it?" You jeered, knowing you'd still go if Jonah asked, no matter how weird or unusual what he wanted to see was.

"Your undying love for me and Jonah has blinded you to the boring ass stuff we do in our free time." Garrett teased, breaking from his trance to turn and face you.

"Uh, do you want to come? Uh, I mean, if you want to. I don't care if you're there. You could be there or not be there. It means nothing to me if you're there, at all." Jonah asked Amy, his over the top clarification only making it seem like he liked her even more.

"Oh! Please come Ames, it'll be more fun with you there." You begged, squeezing the arm the connected you tightly with your own.

"You've charmed me. I'm in." She admitted defeat, pulling the two of you in the direction the rest of the group were walking as you headed towards the movie theatre.

"Incidentally, I'm out." He started, smiling happily as he gestured to the sign that had been hung around his neck all day. "I'm Brexit. How has nobody asked me about that all day?"

"Oh dearest Jonah, what are you dressed as today?" You asked, leaning towards the man as Amy and Garrett let out loud laughs.

"Well, now I just don't want to tell you." Jonah sulked, his eyes not meeting your gaze but instead looking slightly past you at Amy who had a wide smile settled on her face, her cheeks rosy from smiling and the night cold; she looked beautiful.

Oh, Jonah definitely liked her.

"Group trip!" You cheered, breaking the quiet tension that had settled over the four of you and creating small talk as you walked towards the theatre.

Today had been good and you were glad Amy was getting some semblance of mother-daughter time despite Emma bailing on trick or treating last minute. You were glad to be doing anything on Halloween, really, not having ever have done anything other then dress up for the store as your mom though it was a stupid holiday.

Maybe that's what had made you love it all the more; definitely not the cute pictures Cheyenne had sent you that made you and Marcus look like a couple. Not that at all.

Right back at you with the numbers! Asim: 1, 7, 15, 32 / Cadwgawn: 1, 22, 31, 38

Thank you so much for the questions!!! <3 Asim: Undead Drow/Orc - Paladin/Warlock 1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?

Basically no time at all. He barely ever trances. Someone help this man. He resorts to tinkering and reading a lot - he's learned about 12 languages at this point. Please. I'm serious, someone help him. 7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

This is something he's still figuring out. He had a serious brain injury that's caused his memory to have a lot of black spots, and he's also recently gained all the memories of his past lives. He's basically being reintroduced to his life/lives as we go along and any new experience could be a sudden surprise nostalgia.

But always, always, his husband Gearheart. They've been running into each other in different lives for about 2000 years and every time he sees his husband it's nostalgia times 100. It's a pleasant nostalgia. Fond memories of the few times he managed to feel comfortable sitting still, holding onto his favorite person* in the whole wide world.

(*everyone asim loves is his favorite person, but that doesn't make it less special)

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

He has no filter and says whatever comes to mind, but his sincerity and kindness saves him from being a complete ass. If he does manage to make a social blunder - because lets be honest social rules are kind of weird and don't always overlap with sincerity and kindness and his difficulty speaking common can make some of what he says seem rude- he immediately tries to right the wrong.

32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?

Oh my god yes. He will ramble about the day his daughter Zia was born at ANY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. He'll whip out the photo of him holding her and coo over how she could fit in the palm of his hand and how the dress she was wearing was a little dolly dress that an orc neighbor kid had given them for her.

He will on purpose ignore or even growl at anyone trying to point out she looks Very Goblin and not at all orcish, and doesn't resemble him in any way so he can keep going on about how cute she is and how he could just eat her up.

It's one of the few solid memories that really stuck with him after his head injury so he holds onto it for dear life. That and she fit in the palm of his hand and he is so gosh dang tickled by that and everyone needs to know.

Cadwgawn: Teenage Undead Gnoll - Druid/Monk

What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?

Again, not long at all, but he has a much easier time of it than Asim. He can actually do a bit of mediation but he DOES try to circumvent the "do nothing" aspect by performing little ritual things or sewing fabric together.

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

Possessiveness, protectiveness. He is prone to a bit of hoarding, a bit of packrat behavior. Cool Things are for him and his friends. You can't have them. And he gets sad puppy over friends spending time with other people without him.

In meditation he can reassure himself that if any of his things get taken away, he can just steal them back. And for losing people... psshhhh he's too cool for people to get stolen away from him.

31. Who are they the most glad to have met?

Jeff! The halfling that dug him up when he awakened in his grave.

They're good friends and Cadwgawn has a BIT of a crush on him, but Jeff is far too old for him so it's staying at friendship and they're both fine with it. Also Cadwgawn sometimes calls him Yeff. Jeff is not sure if Cadwgawn is seriously unsure of how to pronounce the "J" because he's from a different time period and not familiar with commone(Cadwgawn definitely knows how to pronounce the "J" and is just teasing him)

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

Not really sure on this one! He's a very in-the-present sort of guy.

But I guess he DOES dwell a bit on the night he was murdered.

I mean, that COULD be the case, but I think what anon is saying is that you should be able to take at least an hour out of your 24-hour day to be off the phone long enough to have a nice pleasant meal while out with your friends or loved one(s). Thank you, that's exactly what I meant. Tweets, fans OR business - all that can wait 1h (another anon, read more carefully pls). If the people that are hanging with her are ok with it, why does anon care? How do you know they're OK? 🤔 We don't know that. Maybe they'd want to politely ask her to stop doing it, but they don't want to hurt her feelings or whatever. Maybe she's well aware of her own bad habit and she recognizes it, she just can't fix it yet? Anyway, who would enjoy having the person you're talking to constantly cheking their phone? Is this some kind of new gen z trend? 😂 lol Anyway, in Z's defense, she doesn't do it all the time. yeah. ...only every other photo from a cafe lmao 😆.

I've got my eye on you, miss Z. I'm gonna collect pics of her scrolling memes at restaurants instead of having a chat with Darnell or enjoying her food or starring into Tom's gorgeous brown eyes after all. And I'll post all of it on IG (/j but kinda serious). I'm sure she'll laugh when she sees it from the outside.

To anon#2 and to all hardcore Z stans out there, pls chill. I'm not coming for your queen. She's my queen too. We're just joking around and roasting a little (and like old millennials we're making etiquette remarks lmao). That's it

Thanks for your input Anon 👍🏾😊

And yea, just cuz you love your fave doesn't mean that you have to feel like they are perfect. I have many faves but I know they're not perfect, and sometimes they may do (or say 👀) things that make me give them the side-eye lol, but it doesn't make me love my faves any LESS.

I think celeb culture has become so cultish these days, that you can't even playfully joke or point out smthg that you don't like or give the side-eye to, without being bashed or having rabid fans jumping down your back and snatching your edges. 🥴

Some fans need to put down the sword. There's a difference btwn pointing out an observation, and just being plain MEAN or catty about someone. The latter is totally uncalled for, and I usually try not to dwell on or post overly negative posts on my blog about anyone really. (Believe me, I get some crazy stuff in my inbox)

I'm pretty sure Z knows of her addiction to memes and her device just in general lol (I feel like she's even mentioned it before in an interview? 🤔), so I don't think anyone needs to tell her about herself. It's just the culture that we live in. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Just about everyone does it at SOME point.

Maybe she's been working on it and has actually improved! We really don't know lol 😆

But yea, it's just nice etiquette and manners to (at least when out to eat) put the phone down, and just enjoy that person's company.

Gen Z might feel differently though, so maybe it doesn't really bother them at all lol? 🤷🏾‍♀️ But for others, especially those raised by old-school standards, it might seem a bit rude to them.

Your J&H fics may be repetitive, but I for one read and reread them often!! I wish there was many more of them!!!! They live rent free in my brain and every time it comes up I recommend them to friends!!!

Hi there anon, and thank you so much!! You're so sweet, thank you for telling me that – this comment really, really made my day. <3

I'm putting the rest of this behind read more because this made me so happy that I want to ramble a little more, but I don't want to clog everyone's dash with this – so this is just between me and you, anon (and I guess anyone else curious enough to click that read more link)!

It just makes me so glad to hear there's someone out there who finds my stuff worth rereading, recommends it and lets it live on in their mind! I still don't think of myself as an experienced fan fiction writer, I only got into it a couple of years ago. I also have a knack for only getting involved in small fandoms. For these reasons, it feels extra special to know that there's someone out there who likes my stuff this much!

As for there being more, well, I can tell you that I've actually written a couple of new Jekyll & Hyde fics lately... or, to be completely accurate, I've finished some of the X-rated drafts that have been lying around in my wips folder, some of them for literal years. Just some self-indulgent fun (and then slapping some steamy action on top of it because the scenario demands it, since for me, the actual fun is writing about characters partaking in some serious self-reflection. ;P)

I'm not going to post/link that stuff here, however. In my heart, I believe cringe is dead – but I'm afraid this Tumblr account is a bit too easy to connect with my real name for me to feel comfortable releasing my most X-rated brainworms here, I want to hold on to my plausible deniability just in case a future employer and/or my mom finds their way here. So if you're interested, go find 'em on your own or come off anon and shoot me a DM!

Once again, thank you. I'm going to treasure this ask. <3

Not sure how serious you were about that suicide thing, but 1) mood. 2) you’re a wonderful person and I hope you know how much many of us appreciate you. And not just for Ghost, for our own shit too. You’ve created such an amazing lil corner over here and I’m grateful for you and everyone else over here. I know sometimes messages like this probably aren’t helpful but I’m also of the mindset that you should say it when you can, because one day you won’t have that opportunity… a few years ago a friend of mine committed suicide and I wish I had the opportunity to tell him how amazing he was, so I never skip that chance now.

So uh, yeah. Thanks for all you do. I hope some days are better than others, and I hope you get little moments of happiness.

Putting a break bar to discuss suicidal things. TLDR I'm okay.

Below the break is a bit of an explanation into my own thought process and maybe it'll help someone.

I love you. I'm glad you're here too, and thank you.

Thank you. They really are helpful, more than you know. I keep some of them in my inbox to read when I'm feeling poorly, or I snip them as photos onto my desktop. I was about 50/50 serious. I've had that ideation since I was about 9 years old, and sometimes it comes back like a sledgehammer to my temples. Yesterday was one of those days. Today I'm at like a 25/100, which is what I'm usually at. My "background mood" is almost always some form of depression, and it's something that I've lived with for almost 20 years. I'm so sorry to hear about your friends... I've had several that have taken the same path, which is why I won't do it, in the end.

I know the void that it leaves. H's dream catcher and cross still hang from my desk. I still remember doing J's autopsy. I had just turned 18. It's something that I consider doing and remember how I felt in the aftermath of them. I remember what J's dad said to me in the chapel at his funeral, and I can't.

Thank you for checking in, anon. I'm okay, eventually. I'm not going anywhere by my own choosing, but I sure wouldn't mind if I was in a coma for a week or so, you know?

I think this is the most candid I've ever been about my mental health and suicidal ideation, whether to Tumblr or actual irl people except my therapist.

Just... I'm here for you. I know it's hard. I know what it feels like. Hold my hand and we'll get through it together, sluicing through the Spillways until we land somewhere safe and nice.

Reach out to me anytime and we'll luge together for a while through them.

Author's note: Hello, dreamers! So, this chapter will focus on Lily's first-ever mission to the world of Monsters Inc, and will be the official start to the timeline! The timeline will go month to month, up until the end of the year, and the ultimate mission! Every month in the story will be a new mission, and the rest of the month after will be Lily's life in the ever-expanding mansion of lucidity, with the characters she recruits along the way! P.S my writing process is literally watching Disney plus on my laptop while I write this to refresh my memory! One concern I have is copyright. Even though I have a disclaimer, I'm afraid my story will get in trouble because I'm using words from the movie itself, so if I'm breaking any rules, could you please let me know? Thanks in advance! :) I also think listening to Monsters Inc music will be a good way to experience the story. Also, I am changing the rating of this story from T to Kplus, because I don't think it's violent enough to have a higher rating. This story basically matures with me, so when my mind and ideas get more mature, the content does with it, but it won't go past a teen rating. Lily grows along with me, and the scenarios I created back in the day were just too kiddie, so I refined them slightly, and made them a little more serious. Lily starts at my age when I first created this story, and gets older and matures as the years go by. I started maladaptive daydreaming at a young age, and this entire series is scenarios I've created in my head over the years. One more thing, I just wanted to say, I never watched JoJo's bizarre adventure at age 8, I just started watching it as an older kid, but I wanted to include characters from the show in my story as a last minute addition.

characters introduced (or mentioned)

Henry J. Waternoose (Monsters Inc)

Randall Boggs (Monsters Inc)

James P. Sullivan (Monsters Inc)

Mike Wazowski (Monsters Inc)

Disclaimer! Any of the characters, ideas, locations, or stories that aren't my OCs or part of my personal ideas aren't mine and I do not claim to own them.

Chapter 4: Lily's First Mission: Monsters Inc

July 2012

As the group emerged in Monstropolis, all they saw were fantastical sights and sounds. All around them, monsters roamed, making their morning commutes, getting coffee, and living in peace and harmony. The monsters looked ferocious and scary, but they were surprisingly friendly, tame, and peaceful, but with any movie, there's always a villain or two...

"So this is Monstropolis! I never thought an entire city with the word, 'monster' in its name would be so... friendly looking!" Lily said, watching the town go by her very eyes.

"Yes, this is an amazing place, but why is everything so, so... SLIMY?!" Cadenza shrieked.

"Please excuse my sis, she's a bit of a drama queen," Corrin said.

I'll say... Lily thought.

"Alright, so the first thing our plan says is to go to a place called, 'the scare simulator' to find our first set of characters," Corrin said, reading the plan Aurora had mapped out for them.

"Ok, so the map says the scare simulator is at Monsters Incorporated, the big building we first saw when we arrived, so we should head that way!" Lily said, energetically.

The group started to head towards MI, but they got a little bit of an audience. "Humans? What are humans doing in Monstropolis? AND IS THAT A CHILD WITH THEM?" A purple monster screamed while everyone around it ran the other way, screaming.

What was that all about? Lily thought, dumbstruck at their not so warm welcome.

"Well, I NEVER! I thought we would get welcomed with open arms! after all, we're supposed to be the ones destined to save this wayward land, so why are they scared of us instead of DIO and Megan?" Cadenza said, in a haughty but shocked tone.

"Oh, I know why... The plot of this movie says that these monsters believe children are, 'toxic,' and will disease any monster who touches it. They also believe having humans in the monster world is dangerous because it could expose their world." Lily said, finally realizing the reason for their rude welcome.

"Aurora must've forgotten to tell us about this... She says we must use Lily's daydream powers to temporarily shapeshift into monsters to avoid detection." Corrin said, reading the plan.

"Ok, this is the first time I've ever done this, so... here goes..." Lily said, preparing to cast a spell. "All of the fairy shows I like to watch say to cast a successful spell, you must concentrate and think about nothing else," Lily said.

She thought long and hard about what she wanted to look like and finally decided on a cute, pink, fluffy monster. She thought long and hard, but felt nothing about herself change, but when her friends saw, they were shocked and surprised. "This doesn't seem to be working... I still feel like my normal self." Lily said, sounding disappointed.

"Wait, what are you talking about? It worked perfectly!" Cadenza said, marveling at the sight before her.

Lily was skeptical at first, but she looked at her hand, expecting to find just normal skin, but found it was covered in the softest pink fur! "Wait, WHAT? It worked... I actually did magic!" Lily said. she was in a state of euphoria when she saw what she had become. Her monster form was covered from head to toe with pink fur, with a light pink heart on her forehead, symbolizing the ethereal gem.

"Well, I've never seen a first transformation attempt go so well! When I first transformed into my dragon form, I went berserk!" Corrin said, remembering his transformation mishap.

"Oh, and by the way, Corrin and I have our own transformation stones, so you don't have to transform us if you don't want to." Cadenza said.

Corrin and Cadenza transformed themselves into dragons, as Lily watched in shock. "Ok, NOW I've seen everything! Dragons, too?" Lily said, not knowing whether to be shocked, scared, amazed or all three at once. "This is all so much to take in... Oh, Lilith, do you need me to transform you, also?" Lily said.

"Thanks, but there's no need because I'm an astral dragon. I can use the gem on my forehead to transform." Lilith said.

So that's what that gem was! I knew it was magical, somehow! Lily thought as she watched Lilith transform into a beautiful blue and red-colored dragon holding a pearl. "Alright, now that everyone's disguised, let's head to the simulation room!" Lily said.

The motley crew of monsters headed towards the simulation room, excited to see where their journey would take them.

Meanwhile, in his own office, Henry J. Waternose, a native of Monstropolis was caught in a debate with one of his scarers, because of what Aurora had told him about Lily's mission.

"I know Aurora is a good friend of ours, but letting a human child into our world? Mr. Waternoose, you have to reconsider! This goes against everything we monsters believe in, not to mention, we're putting the entire city in danger by letting Lily in!" Randall Boggs, a purple lizard-like monster said.

"Randall, would you rather let a human child in our world, and risk a few people getting sick, or would you rather let the nightdreamers have their way and plunge us all into eternal misery? Don't you understand, Randall? We NEED Princess Lily in Monstropolis because too much is at stake if we don't have her!" Waternoose, a giant crab-like monster with five eyes said.

He wore a three-piece suit with a bowtie and carried himself with a kind, and humble demeanor, but with a darkness inside... Randall flinched when he said 'need,' because he slammed his fist on the table when he said it.

"Ok, you win. We will let Lily in with open arms, but the first monster I see get sick, I'm leaving and going to Haventown until she leaves." Randall said.

"Randall, I'm sorry for yelling, but you know how much I have on my plate right now! First, we have this scream shortage threatening the city, then we have scare recruits who are awful and wouldn't even be able to scare a baby, THEN, we have Lily, who is a human child, and may or may not prove fatal to everyone in Monstropolis, but if that doesn't kill us, then the nightdreamers will!" Waternoose said.

"Ok, boss. I'll let her in, but don't say I didn't warn you..." Randal said as he walked out of the office.

Lily, you may be our last hope... Fulfilling this mission won't just give you the essence needed to open Paragon Etheria and protect us from the nightdreamers, but your power may be just what we need to end this power shortage forever... Waternoose thought, thinking about what the future held for Monstropolis, and the multiverse itself...

Just as Waternoose was about to drift off to sleep with his head on his desk, he heard a knock at his door. "Please come in," Waternoose said.

Lily and her friends entered the room and Cadenza almost fainted at the sight of Waternoose. "What is Tha-mffff!" Cadenza was cut off by Lily putting her hand over her mouth.

"Caddie, this is no time for you to act like this!" Lily said, trying to calm Caddie down.

"S-sorry about that, guys... It's just I'm not used to this world..." Cadenza said, trying to straighten herself out.

"You must be Lily, Corrin, Cadenza, and Lilith! Aurora told me all about you guys! Let me just tell you, Lily, your mother, Alessandria and I were such good friends! When I heard of her sacrifice, it was one of the hardest things I had ever heard, and I was so disappointed but also glad that she would live on in you, Lily! Waternoose said, getting misty-eyed reminiscing about Alessia.

"Wait, you knew my mother? Please, tell me what she was like. I would really like to know..." Lily said. "Aurora, the other creation of my mother raised me as her own, and made me into what I am today, but I was never told about my mother..." Lily said. Even though she was only 8 years old, Lily was very mature for her age, all because of Aurora raising and teaching her.

"Well, let me tell you. Alessia was a special woman, who was selfless, motherly, true, and just. She was everything good about a person rolled into one, and I heard from Aurora about her sacrifice, how selfless she was about saving the multiverse." Waternoose said.

"Well, I'm just happy to be able to follow in my mother's footsteps and help save this place! Even though I've only been here for a short time, I just can't let Morgana and her forces destroy it." Lily said, feeling great responsibility for the fate of the multiverse. Even though it would be hard, she would protect it at all costs!

"Now, for me to discuss the mission with you. Monstropolis had been having a major scream shortage in the past few months, and we believe it's being caused by the nightdreamers' assault on the multiverse. We think, Lily, that you and your group will be able to kill two birds with one stone, namely by getting the essence needed to open Paragon Etheria before Megan and her group gets it, and by helping to aid Monstroplolis in fixing this scream shortage." Waternoose said.

"Well, that's actually pretty smart, and I think it's pretty doable!" Lily said, with a smile on her face.

"Alright, Sir, so what's our first step?" Lilith said.

"Well, your first step will be meeting one of our top scarers, James P. Sullivan, 'Sully' for short. He is one of our top scarers at M.I, along with his best friend and assistant, Mike Wazowski, who will also be helping you on your mission. Here are directions to their house, and the full list of steps for the mission." Waternoose said as he handed a small packet of paper to Lily. "So, our steps are,

1. find Mike and Sully

2. work one day at the Monsters Incorporated factory

3. Find the true objective

4. don't forget to bond with characters

4. Find the villain

5. Defeat the villain, and resolve any other conflicts." Lily said, pondering about how hard the mission would be. "Alright, guys, I think it's time for us to start heading to Mike and Sully's place, so we don't waste time and give Megan and Dio the upper hand," Corrin said. The 4 of them left Waternoose's office, with Lily excited and ready to meet yet another fictional character.

Author's note: So, I hope you enjoyed the official start to the timeline, which will span many years, and will include these, 'multiverse missions' as one of the main themes of the story. The other two themes will be family, love, and the meaning of the multiverse. The next chapter will focus on Lily and the group meeting Mike and Sully, and Lily's friendship with the ever-expanding group of characters. I will also show some of Cadenza's mysterious powers, and abilities...

Been thinking of Failed Revolution AU a few years into the future where 1010 is no longer working for NSR and are living in the UK trying to overcome their trauma and basically start life over.

The idea that each one has their own baggage to deal with but slowly gets better is something I love to think about, but it also made me realize just how much Green had suffered.

Like yes, all of 1010 suffered, but they all had someone else to help them out or at least hang out with. Green had no one. Like technically he had Yinu, but she wasn't always able to visit because of Mama's hatred for 1010. Not to mention Yinu would just use Green as a person to vent to and so wasn't really someone Green could rely on.

Red and Yellow had each other. Blue and White had Neon J. Green could kinda rely on Blue, but both Yellow and White would constantly harass Green. Red was a total flake and even helped Yellow in this harassment (mainly because he was scared to be in Green's situation so he went along with Yellow's asshole-ery).

I just love the idea that 1010 try to move past the pain they had, but Green is the only one not healing. He doesn't have the energy or care to try and move on, even if things are objectively better for him now than they ever were working under NSR.

Yellow and White (not Sun and Silver) do their best to make it up to Green (not Fern), but it's just not working. Fern just stays in the rooftop garden or cleaning the shop/machines in their little family run candy shop.

Unlike the rest of 1010 who are trying to get educations, better jobs, make friends, Fern is just isolating himself and going throught the motions of life. Not caring to even try and heal (honestly if anything, he is still holding a lot of anger and pain towards the rest of 1010 for everything that happened, even if he isn't showing it).

Like Green didn't even have Neon J to fall back on. J was too busy wrangling Yellow in, scolding White, calming down Red, and putting more and more responsibilities and teaching moments onto Blue, that he just never even had time for Green (who for the most part seemed the most self sufficient and well behaved of all of 1010 in Neon J's eyes).

There's also the fact that if Neon J did have time to spend with Green, he was instead spending it either drinking or with Nova. To Neon J, there was no need to spend quality time with any of 1010 as he wasn't supposed to actually care for them (he did, but didn't want to admit that). And since Green was well behaved and not lashing out physically or emotionally, then Neon J didn't need to actually spend time with him (he did, but it was very rare and mostly cut short by the jealousy of the other 1010 members).

Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point. But I love the idea of exploring how each member of FRAU 1010 tries to heal from their time at NSR. I also like the idea of how White/Silver and Blue/Sky end up becoming friends with Ex-Jay and B2J in the future.

It is nothing like how the OG versions are, but it is something that helps them all get to a better place. Like closure (something that Green will definitely need at some point).

So yea. Just wanted to type this out. Been thinking about it for a few days (honestly probably a week now). I have 2 versions of this whole thought process.

One where there was a multiverse merge, where almost all my AUs combine into one like pocket of time universe. There my AUs meet and they see the different versions of themselves and learn how to be better people from seeing their flaws either reflected or called out. (and years down the line from this event it happens again just so the AUs can meet and see the progression everyone made lol)

The other is just where FRAU naturally continues without any silly multiverse shenanigans. Less self reflecting and a bit more serious, but still a bunch of good ideas.

Okay. Rambling basically over. Just really wanted to talk about Green and how his neglect and abuse will be something he doesn't get over for years, much longer than the rest of 1010 took to seemingly "get over" what happened to them.
