Seasons of PD: Season 2: Will’s Back...and There’s a Bomb (A Halstead Brothers + Halstead Sister! Imagine)

Your age: 14

Jay's age: 28

Will's age: 30

"Spoke to Dad," Will said to Jay as the two brothers were sat in Jay's apartment sipping their respective beers. "Said you two barely talk. Said if it wasn't for Y/N, you probably wouldn't see him at all."

"I mean, he's not wrong." Jay shrugged.

"Care to elaborate on that?"

"Not really, but you should've been here. You should've been home. Mom was dyin'. You were off partyin'."

"You left," Will said as he set his beer down and leaned forward on the couch.

"I left to fight a war. I came home. And you know why that was?" he asked rhetorically. "It was because my humvee hit an IED and me and Mouse were the only two who survived! And because Mom was sick! I came back for Mom and I came back traumatized! Nothing bad even happened to you in New York and you left two fucking days after her funeral, man!"

Luckily Will hadn't been holding his beer or he would've dropped it right then and there. "Jay, I- I never knew it was so hard for you to come Stateside again."

"Forget it. You weren't there then, what makes me think you're gonna be here now? You're probably taking off in another few days anyway, am I right? Not even gonna go see Y/N? Even though she always wants help on her math homework from you and you don't even have the decency to answer her phone calls!"

"I'm sorry that I don't have my phone on me when I'm performing surgeries, Jay!"

Jay's phone rang, stopping the argument in its tracks. "Speak of the devil," Jay mumbled and then answered the call. "Hey, Y/N, what's up?"

"I don't understand this stupid homework," you groaned from your desk in your bedroom at home. "Why do I even need to know the equation of a line, anyway? It's not like I'm even gonna use it in life anyway."

"Y/N, like I've told you numerous times, I can help you if it's a single variable problem, but anything more than that, I forgot how to do it. Not really helping your teacher's case for actually using this in life, am I?"

"Yeah, not at all. I guess I'll just try and call Will...he's not gonna answer anyway, but I guess it's worth a shot."

"Wait, how about you FaceTime me?" Jay suggested.

"Why? You already admitted that you can't help me."

"Just do it."

"Okay, gimme a few minutes. I gotta switch devices."

"Oh yeah. You don't have an iPhone yet, only an iPod and a slide phone. Sucks to be you."

"Well, I'm sorry that I don't have a grown-up job and can buy my own stuff, Jay."

"And with buying your own stuff and having a grown-up job comes bills. So, be glad you can't legally work yet."

You rolled your eyes. "I'll call you back in a few minutes. And, whatever this is, better be able to help me with this homework since math is my first class tomorrow."

"It'll help. I promise."

"Hmmm, sure." Then, you hung up and switched to your iPod, and hit the FaceTime icon.

"You look like- you look tired," Jay said when he accepted the FaceTime call. He almost said that you looked like hell, but he figured he shouldn't say that.

"Thanks," you replied sarcastically. "You would be, too, if you've been staring at the same problem on your homework for the past hour."

"What's the equation you have to work with?" Jay asked.

"Y=mx+b," you answered.

"Yeah, vaguely remember that. Don't know what it means, just remember hearing it a bunch. Will, you know what that equation is and how to do it?"

"Will's at your house? I thought he wasn't getting back for another week."

"I thought so, too. And then I got called to a bar today because he was being stupid--"

"Hey, I was not stupid!" Will protested.

"Fine. He was being dumb and tried to break up a fight. And, now I think he's got a job at Chicago Med because he got fired in New York--"

"Y/N," Will butted in, "you said you needed help with your homework?"

"Yeah."

"Jay, can you please give me the phone so I can help our little sister with her homework please?"

"Uh, fine. She'll know why you left New York eventually," Jay said as he passed his phone to his older brother.

"Eventually. But not tonight." He turned to Jay. "Can you get me a piece of paper? I'd grab it but I have no idea where you keep stuff in this little bachelor pad of yours."

"Like you didn't snoop through my stuff when I was at work," Jay joked and stood up to get Will a piece of paper.

"Y/N, for Christmas I'm getting you a subscription to Chegg so you don't need to call me for this."

"I'm holding you to that one."

***

God, I hate running on the track. It's literally just running in circles and seeing the same things over and over, no variety in the scenery whatsoever. I wish I could run with Emma, but she's way faster than me, so she's ahead of me by like one or two laps. Uh, this song sucks! I gotta skip--

"Run lockdown! Run lockdown!"

What? Run lockdown? What is the high school cross country coach talking about? Maybe it's just something that the high schoolers have to do for their drills because I sure have never heard of that one.

But then, you saw Emma jogging toward the bathrooms a few yards away from the track.

What the hell?

You ran towards the bathrooms a few yards away from the track and didn't stop until you'd caught up with Emma. "What's going on?"

"No idea. Something about a lockdown."

Once all of you and your coach, Mrs. Rivers, were safely in the bathroom with the door locked, did you get any closure about what was going on.

"There's been a bomb threat."

"What? A bomb threat?"

"What?!"

"So we can't leave?"

"Girls, I need you to be quiet, okay? The police are looking into it, but for now, the campus is on lockdown and we can't leave here until I get the all-clear. The school's already notified parents, so if someone else is picking you up today other than your parents, you need to call them. Just ask and you can use my phone. Everything's going to be okay, though. We have nothing to worry about. We just need to sit tight until I'm told we can leave." Her phone buzzed and you all held your breath. "Looks like Miss G got stuck in the boys' bathroom with all the stinky football boys."

"What if we walk home?" you asked quietly.

"If you walk home, a parent or someone else will have to pick you up since they don't want anybody walking home because, as of right now, they have no idea who did this."

***

"How's your brother doing?" Erin asked as she and Jay were standing around the coffee pot in the break room.

"Pretty sure he's going to quit the new job he just got at Med even though it's his first day," Jay answered.

"What? He got a job at Med?"

"Yeah. Apparently, they were looking for ER docs and he got the job. But, for some reason, now he wants to quit. And, he was late today. Decided to bitch to me about only having almond milk and not having any regular milk in my fridge. Like, dude, you're staying with me. You can deal with a bit of almond milk."

"I don't blame him," Erin laughed. "Almond milk is disgusting."

"But it's better for you...and cheaper."

"Of course that's your reason for getting it."

"Halstead!" Antonio yelled. "Your phone's been ringing off the hook for the last minute. I think it's important."

"Be right there!" Jay quickly poured himself a cup of coffee and then rushed over to his desk.

"Shit," he muttered.

"Who was it?" Erin asked as she emerged from the breakroom, holding her own cup of coffee.

"Y/N," he answered as he fiddled with his phone. "Called me three times in the past minute."

"Any idea what it's about?"

"No, but I'm about to find out."

"Jay!" you whisper-yelled from the other end of the line.

"Y/N, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so much? Are you sick? Do you need me to--"

"There's a bomb."

Jay almost dropped his phone. "A bomb? Are you sure?"

At the mention of a bomb, everyone's heads snapped towards him.

"Yeah, we're hiding out in the bathrooms near the football field right now until they get the all-clear," you told him. "But, they can't let people walk home from school today and Dad's not answering and it's Will's first day, so I was wondering if you could pick me up?"

"Yeah, yeah, I can do that. Do you mind if I put you on speaker for a quick second?"

"Why? I'm fine Jay, really. Just needed to know if you can pick me up."

Innocent fourteen-year-olds, Jay thought to himself. Of course, she just called to pick to see if you'd pick her up. She hasn't grasped the gravity of the situation, and she's probably thinking that this is just another story to tell. Not that if there's actually a bomb at her school that she could be dead any second if it goes off.

"You're sure you don't want me to stay on the phone with you?"

"You can go."

"Okay. Just, listen to the adult that's in there with you, okay?"

"Okay, okay. Bye."

"Bye I love--" He was cut off by the beep which signaled that you had hung up. "--you."

"What's going on? A bomb?" Erin asked, but Jay was already making his way down the stairs.

"Sarge!" Jay yelled as he made his way to the front desk.

"Well, hello to you too, Chuckles. If you're looking for Voight, he's just meeting with a CI and should back soon," Platt told him.

"Sargeant, all due respect, I don't give a damn about Voight right now. I just need to know if you have any idea about the bomb threat at Central Chicago's high school and middle school campuses?"

"I know that they sent someone from bomb squad and some patrolmen over there to see if there's anyone who seems suspicious--"

"Why wasn't Intelligence notified?"

Platt's jaw dropped and she stared at Jay for a second before speaking. "Because last I checked, detective, those schools weren't in our district--"

Jay slammed his hand down on the desk. "Jay," Erin said and grabbed her partner's arm. "I need you to calm down for a second, okay?"

"I don't need to calm down, Erin," Jay spat. "I have every reason--"

"I understand, but being pissed at Platt here isn't going to fix anything. Go back upstairs and I'll be there in a second."

Jay ripped his arm from Erin's grip and stalked upstairs, not without slamming the gate when he was safely inside the Intelligence Unit's area of the 21st District.

"What's his deal?" Platt asked. "I have half a mind to write him up for insubordination for that little scene he just caused."

"Sarge," Erin started, "the school that called in the bomb threat, that's the school Y/N goes to, Jay's little sister."

"What? I thought that only elementary school kids were at school right now?"

"That's true unless there are sports practices."

"And Y/N's in a sport, so she's at school right now." Platt put the pieces together.

"Yeah. And, I know that family isn't supposed to work cases, but could you maybe make an--"

"Erin, go grab Halstead and Dawson, get down to the school. I'll send the information upstairs to Atwater and Ruzek and they can see what they can get. I'll also call Voight and tell him to meet you there."

"Thank you, Sargeant!"

Erin jogged upstairs and into the bullpen. "Jay, Antonio, we're heading to the school! Kev and Adam, Platt said that you're working the case from up here. Voight will meet us there."

"Copy that," Kevin answered.

Jay holstered his gun and was halfway down the stairs before Kevin even finished his sentence.

***

"Kev, what do we know?" Jay asked as they were driving over to your school.

"Uh, I pulled footage from the high school's office and apparently an unknown dude walked in, asked a question, and then walked out all in the span of less than a minute," he answered.

"Can you run facial rec?"

"Nah, not a good enough angle."

"Description?"

"Dude looks Indian or Middle-Eastern to me. He's got short, black hair. Some stubble, not a ton, but it's enough that you can see it even with the bad angle I got. He's kinda chubby, too. Wearing a tan jacket. That's all I got."

"Thanks, man. That helps. Anything from bomb squad?"

"They haven't located a bomb yet, so I guess that's a good sign, right?"

"It is if there's no bomb," Jay replied. "But, just because they haven't found it, doesn't mean there's not a bomb. Whoever the hell did this could've just hid it really well or do whatever a psycho does when they want to blow up a school full of kids."

Jay relayed the information to Erin and Antonio who were also in the car and then hung up his phone. "Any word from Voight or anyone else when I was on the phone?"

"No, you want me to go to the middle school or the high school?" Erin asked.

"Wherever you can get in."

"Jay, we have badges, we can get in anywhere."

"Middle school then. I'm assuming that's where Y/N is."

"Okay."

"Wait!" Jay exclaimed, almost causing Erin to slam on the brakes. "When I was talking to Y/N earlier, she said that she was in the bathrooms near the football field so we need to go to the high school."

"You're sure it's that field? Isn't there a football field at the middle school, too?"

"That's just a shitty practice field," he answered. "Anyway, the high school football field is the only one that has bathrooms near it so that spectators can go to the bathroom when they go to the football games."

"I shouldn't have to tell you this, Jay," Antonio started, "But you can't just burst into the locker rooms and try to get Y/N out of there. No parents are allowed in or out to pick up their kids. And, you're no different. You have to wait for the all-clear to get her out of there."

Jay hated it, but Antonio was right. No matter how much he wanted to get you as far away from this campus as possible, he couldn't until the bomb squad made sure that there wasn't a bomb anywhere near here. If his time in the Rangers had taught him anything, it was that one misstep, and the whole place could get blown up in a nanosecond.

Erin started to pull into the parking lot of the high school near all the cop cars, when one turned on their sirens and pulled in front of them, effectively stopping them from getting any further.

"I know you're worried about your kids," the patrolman said once Erin rolled down her window, "But we can't let anyone in or out until this is all sorted."

"We're not parents." Erin pulled out her badge. "Detectives Lindsay, Dawson, and Halstead from the 21st District's Intelligence Unit."

He looked at the officer next to him. "Desk Sergeant from the 21st said that there'd be some detectives coming." He pushed the button on his radio before anybody could tell him otherwise. "I got the detectives from the 21st here right now."

"Copy," the person on the other end said.

Jay wanted to jump out of the vehicle and strangle that patrolman with his bare hands. "Are you fucking insane?" he yelled.

The one who keyed his radio stepped out of the patrol car, and Jay did the same. "Are you Dawson or Halstead?"

"Halstead. But you, you must be new here because if there is one thing you absolutely do not do when there's even the mention of a bomb is key your radios."

"No offense, detective," the patrolman in the driver's seat started, "but everyone here has been using their radios since we stepped onto this campus."

"There's no bomb," Erin muttered.

They all knew what the patrolman's statement meant: if they had been using their radios the entire time they were here and a bomb hadn't gone off, then there was no bomb to begin with.

Antonio and Erin both stepped out of the car now.

"Who's your sergeant?" Antonio yelled.

"Why? Why do you care?"

"Because of what he just said! You can't key your radios when there might be a bomb, so I think your whole district might need to go back in for a mandatory re-training!"

"I'll call Voight," Erin said.

"Fucking idiots," Jay muttered as he pulled out his phone.

As soon as he was about to dial your number, a call came in from Kevin. "There's no bomb," Jay said as soon as he answered, not even giving Kevin time to tell him anything.

"I mean, yeah, I was callin' to tell you that the bomb squad just declared an all-clear."

"Thanks."

"How'd you know before we even got the call here at the district?"

"They were keying their radios the entire time and nothing happened."

"Yeah, that'll do it."

"We should be back at the district soon."

Jay hung up and made his way to the bathrooms.

You were sitting in silence with Emma next to you when a banging was heard coming from outside causing you to jump.

What if that's the bomber and he's got a gun and wants to kill us before the bomb can get to us? It was irrational, yes, but it was still possible.

"Chicago PD! This is the all-clear."

It was as if everyone in the bathroom let out a collective breath at hearing that there was no bomb or that the bomb had been dismantled.

"Alright girls, you heard the man, we are good to go," Mrs. Rivers said. "Let's head back to the middle school so you can grab your stuff and start getting back to your parents. Was everyone able to get ahold of someone to pick them up? Because I can bring people home if necessary."

All of you filed out of the bathrooms and into the crisp fall air. You were barely onto the sidewalk when you got pulled into a bone-crushing hug.

"Who the--" You looked up. "Hi, Jay."

"Oh my God, you're okay. You don't know how worried I was--"

"Jay, I'm fine," you squeaked out. "But please let go. You're crushing me."

"Sorry, sorry," he apologized and then let go, not without looking you over for injuries even though you promised him that you were in fact fine.

"50-21 George, 50-21 Lincoln, 50-21 Frank, and 50-21 Squad, assistance is requested at Chicago Med for a 10-34. Are you able to assist?"

Jay's eyes went wide and his breath caught in his throat.

"Jay? Jay?" you asked. "You gonna answer that?"

"This is 50-21 Lincoln, hold us down on that 10-34 at Chicago Med," Erin's voice said through the radio.

"Halstead! We gotta go now!" Antonio yelled.

"Jay, what's going on? Will's at Med. What's happening?"

"Come with me," Jay said and then started ushering you towards the car.

"Shit," Erin said when she saw you. "Antonio, you wanna go with Voight, and then me and Jay will drop her off at home? We can't exactly bring her with us."

"Yeah, good idea." Antonio turned to you. "Glad you're safe, kid."

You nodded as he jogged off to find Voight. Then, you turned back to Jay. "Why are you going to Med? Whatever it is, I wanna go with you because what if Will's hurt? I wanna go!"

Jay got in the passenger seat without answering you and you got in the backseat. Erin started driving to the middle school so that you could go get your backpack from your locker.

Once inside school and connected to the wifi, you took out your iPod and pulled up google.

What does 10-34 mean?

The answer almost caused you to drop your iPod on the tiled floor.

10-34 is a police radio signal that means that a bomb threat has been called in.

You ran to your locker and with shaking hands, put in the combination. How was Jay so calm? How was he so calm when you were silently freaking out? And, to make matters worse, he got to work the case while you were going to be stuck going home and just waiting to see if Will (and Jay for the matter since he would no doubt be in the vicinity of the blast zone) was safe, just waiting to see if your oldest brother, who you just got back, would make it out of his new workplace alive.

You hustled out of school and then got into the backseat of Erin and Jay's car. "There's a bomb threat at Med?"

"Who told you that?" Erin asked, turning around in her seat.

"I googled what 10-34 meant. Jay, please, I wanna go with you. I don't wanna go home!"

"No! I know you wanna make sure that Will's safe, and I do too, but you gotta understand that it's not safe for you there, Y/N," he pleaded.

"It's not safe for you to be there, either!" you argued.

"Y/N, I know you're scared, but I'm trained for this kind of stuff. You are not."

"Please," you begged as your lip began to tremble. "I-It'd be faster for you to just go to Med from-from here instead of dropping me off at home."

"She's got a point, Jay," Erin said.

"What? No way, Er! There is no way in hell she is going in there with us!"

"She doesn't have to go past the tape with us. Just somewhere close by." Erin turned back to you. "Would that make you feel better, Y/N? Being somewhere close by?"

You nodded as you wiped away a tear.

Jay sighed. "Fine," he relented. "We'll drop you off at Mama Garcia's to get your homework done since it's a half-block away from the hospital."

"Will's okay, right? You checked in with him?" you asked.

"I haven't yet, but I promise you when I do, I will text you. I just need you to stay calm and focus on yourself right now. It's no use worrying about Will when you can't do anything about it."

"That's what Mom used to tell me when I was worried about you when you were in Afghanistan. She always told me that it's no use worrying about it since none of us were there with you."

"See, you gotta trust what Mom always told you, kiddo. She was a smart lady after all."

***

"Tell me you're not in there," Jay spoke into his phone as he and Erin walked into the police tent-like structure equipped with fancy tech gear outside of Chicago Med's emergency department.

"I am," Will answered, causing Jay's stomach to drop. "Listen, the guy who blew himself up in here, said he had something worse than Ebola."

"What, like he's spreading it since he blew himself up?"

"Yeah, so essentially, every single one of us in here has been in contact with him."

"Who was he?"

"No idea. But do us all a favor and find out."

"Son of a bitch," Jay muttered as he pocketed his phone and entered the tent-like structure where a bunch of people, including the FBI, were sitting at computers.

"Talk to Will?" Erin asked.

"Uh, yeah," Jay answered, "he says he's in there. Apparently whoever the hell blew himself up in there was infected with something that he said was worse than Ebola."

"So if these people get out before we figure out what it is and if it's treatable, we could have an epidemic on our hands?"

"Exactly. Damn, Er. With that mind of yours, you should've gone to med school."

"Very funny, Halstead. You're looking at someone who barely graduated high school and didn't even go to the academy because being in the back of cop cars on the eastside for half my childhood was more than enough experience to qualify me for this job right here."

"I'm gonna start making some calls." Jay turned his attention back to the situation at hand. "Apparently traffic was a mess earlier and Voight and Antonio got called to headquarters to brief some higher-ups about this."

"Fat chance of them knowing anything right now. They've gotta just be trying to keep all the info away from the press." Erin's phone rang. "Speak of the devil."

"I'll call HQ and try to get some more back up to control the situation," Jay said to no one in particular.

***

You kept fiddling with your slide phone, just opening and closing it as you tried--and failed--to focus on your homework as you sat in one of the far back booths at Mama Gracia's. The news was of course playing on the tv in front of you and all the headlines were about what was happening at Med.

"Again we have word of an event at Chicago Med," the news anchor read from her script. "The CFD was able to contain the victims to the ER, but Ebola was mentioned."

Ebola? That was the disease that wreaked havoc on Africa last year.

You knew Will was a doctor and that he was smart, but if he became infected and it was in fact Ebola, what if he died? What if, since Jay was close to Med that he somehow became infected and he died, too? What if you lost both your big brothers in the same amount of time because of some psychopath who decided it was a good idea to blow himself up and put innocent people--innocent first responders--in danger.

"Ay, cariña. ¿A dónde vayas?" Mama Garcia asked as you stood up and made your way to the door, intent on exiting the small restaurant.

"¿Qúe? No entiendo," you answered. You had started taking Spanish this year, so you only understood one word of what she had said to you.

"Sorry, honey. Where are you going? Your brother said to make sure you stayed here."

You and Jay were both pretty close with Mama Garcia. Seeing as it was very close to Med, when your mom had been hospitalized for cancer years ago, you'd always come in here to get dinner. It was here that Mama Garcia had taught you all the words of the toppings that one could put on their tamales, tacos, or burritos, shocking your Spanish teacher when you told her you could tell her in Spanish exactly what you would put on your tamale when you learned about food in class.

"I'm just going for a walk," you answered. "I need some fresh air."

"Okay, don't go far," she warned.

Once out the door, you breathed a sigh of relief and started to walk towards Chicago Med.

When you got close enough, you saw a big white tent and a bunch of fire trucks. You crept to the side and started walking around the side of the building, where there were barely any people and only one cop to keep people at bay. You smiled at him and watched the scene in front of you.

You had seen of those firefighters before on a rare day that you were at the district waiting for Jay and one of them had to walk the firehouse dog, Pouch. He was super cute and all the firefighters were really nice and let you pet him!

"What is it Casey?" a deep voice bellowed.

You knew Casey! Well, you knew of him at least. He was the one that Hermann always said would write him up if he was gone too long with Pouch, so that was always the excuse he gave you when he had to leave the district to go back to the firehouse.

You couldn't hear what Casey said on the other end, but you could hear whoever this guy was talking to Casey. "Okay, we're gonna need to get some CO2 extinguishers inside."

"You mean you're out of fire extinguishers?" a woman next to the firefighters asked.

"Afraid so."

You turned on your heels and sprinted back towards Mama Garcia's. You were a girl on a mission.

"Mama Garcia! Mama Garcia!" you shouted as soon as you were inside.

"Y/N, ¿Qúe pasa?" she asked as she stuck her head out of the kitchen where she was preparing a bunch of batches of tamales.

"They're out of fire extinguishers at the hospital, do you have any that I can bring over there?"

"You are just like your brother," she said, "super sneaky."

"When you live with older brothers and have to steal their Halloween candy, you learn how to be sneaky, Mama Garcia," you joked.

"I'm not even gonna ask how you know this. There's one fire extinguisher back by the bathrooms and I've got two back here I can give you. Esperes un minuto."

You went and grabbed the fire extinguisher from the spot where it was stored in the back by the bathrooms and waited for Mama Garcia to come out with the other two.

"Thank you!" you exclaimed as you took the big bag from her which contained the two other ones. She had put them in a bag for you since they were super heavy.

You slung the bag over your shoulder and carried the other one in your hand. You knew you couldn't run because these were really heavy, but you knew you had to get to Med to help them. Both your brothers were there! And you'd get there, even if it was a lot slower than you had originally planned when you formulated this plan when you were sprinting back to the restaurant five minutes ago.

***

"Is there a detective Halstead here?" a patrolman walked into the tent-like structure and asked.

"That'd be me," Jay answered as he raised his hand and turned away from the computer screen he had been looking at.

"There's a girl outside, Y/N I think she said her name was. Said you're her brother and that she's looking for you. Said she might be able to help."

Jay turned to Erin. "Go," she urged him.

Jay followed the patrol officer to where you were standing and to say he didn't look happy would be an understatement.

"I thought I told you to stay at Mama Garcia's!" he yelled over the crowd of people and the firefighters shouting out orders to each other. "It's dangerous for you here!"

"I know and I'm sorry! But, I came here to see if Will was outside, and I heard that one firefighter talking into his radio thingy, and then the lady next to him said that they were out of fire extinguishers."

Jay crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was not impressed.

"So I ran back to Mama Garcia's and I grabbed these." You held up the fire extinguisher that you had set on the ground next to you because you had been carrying it for a while now and you thought it was going to rip your arm off because of how heavy it was.

"Let her in," Jay declared.

He grabbed the extinguisher from you and then made his way over to the firefighters.

"Chief!" he yelled. "I've got some fire extinguishers here!"

Chief Boden cocked his head to the side. "How?"

"Apparently my little sister was here and she heard Ms. Goodwin say that you were out of extinguishers. So, she ran to Mama Garcia's and these are from her restaurant."

You set down the bag that contained the two fire extinguishers. "Geez, those things are heavy!"

"That they are. Thank you for these..." Chief Boden trailed off, not knowing your name.

"Y/N," you answered.

"Well, thank you Y/N."

"You're welcome, Chief. Please get my brother out of there safely."

"We're doing our best. And, call me Wallace."

He nodded at Jay and Jay placed a hand on your shoulder to lead you back to where he had been working alongside everyone else who wanted to figure out what the hell had gone on in there. Behind you, you heard the other firefighters volunteering to go inside the hospital.

"You're not making me go back to Mama Garcia's?" you asked Jay as you walked.

"No," he answered. "It's gonna get dark soon and I don't need you sneaking off from there again."

"So, I'm staying here so you can keep an eye on me?"

"Precisely."

***

You were sitting in a metal folding chair, scrolling through your iPod--wifi courtesy of Jay's hotspot--when three people entered the tent-like structure.

"Detective," Sharon Goodwin said as she entered the area where everyone was working. Jay looked up from the computer he was working at. "The parents of..." she trailed off, allowing you to assume that these were the parents of the man who had blown himself up.

"Alright," Jay said as he walked over to them. "Please, have a seat."

His voice was monotonous, not soft like when he was talking to child victims and not angry like when he was trying to get a hardened criminal to break. His voice, it was just...there.

"Is there anything you can tell us?" he asked once the parents had sat down.

"He was a smart boy," the man started, "always nice...and helpful. This country has given us so much. How could this have happened?"

"He claimed to be infected with something similar to Ebola."

You felt like you couldn't breathe. So, what the woman on the news had said was true. Your brother--and everyone else in the hospital for that matter--could be infected with something similar--or god forbid, worse--than Ebola.

You couldn't take another funeral. You couldn't take losing another family member before you even learned how to drive, hell before you even got to high school.

Your mind flashed back to when you were four years old. Will was in college and Jay was in his senior year of high school. It was springtime and the weather was just starting to get nice out.

You woke up from sleeping and realized you were thirsty. Seeing as you didn't think it was super late yet, you hoped that maybe Jay or Will would still be up and they'd give you a cup of juice. They were on babysitting duty tonight because your parents had gone out for a date night and knew they wouldn't be back until the early hours of the morning.

With Beary gripped tightly in your hand, you walked down the hallway and towards the kitchen. You saw the living room light on, and then it was quickly turned off.

"Mommy? Daddy?" you asked.

The only light now was from the hallway and you were starting to get scared. Monsters would come out if it was too dark!

Suddenly, the light was flicked back on.

"Y/N, what are you doing up?" Jay asked as he walked towards you.

"I want juice," you told him. But, then you looked at what he was wearing. He was wearing one of those shirts that he had to wear when you and your mom went to his soccer games at other schools. Jay always said that if he didn't wear this type of nice shirt, that he and his team would have to run suicides. You didn't know what those were, but they didn't sound nice. "Why you not in your 'jamas?" you asked. "You have a game? In the dark?"

"Uh," Jay blanched. He couldn't exactly tell his little, very talkative sister, that he was sneaking out to go to a party. "Let's get you some juice."

"Okay!"

Jay got you some juice and started to take your hand to walk you back to your room and tuck you back in when you turned to look at him. "So you going to play soccer? Or you going to see Allie?" He always wore those kinds of shirts when she came over in one of her really fancy dresses. And, Jay would give Allie a flower bracelet, too!

Jay crouched down so he was eye-level with you. "Y/N, you know what a secret is?"

"Yeah! It's when you can't tell somethin' to somebody. Mommy said secrets are bad," you told him, while you swung Beary back and forth in your little hand.

"Well, they're not all bad," he told you. "So, if I told you a secret, you'd be able to keep it?"

"And not tell Mommy or Daddy?" He nodded. "I dunno. I don't wanna get in trouble and have to go in time-out, Jay Jay."

"You won't get in trouble, I promise. And, if you promise not to tell Mommy and Daddy and Will, I'll get you a big pack of Oreos."

"I get Oreos for not telling Mommy and Daddy and Will?"

"Yes, you get Oreos if you don't tell them."

You'd do just about anything for Oreos!

"Okay, I keep it a secret. Where you going?"

"I am going to a friend's house to hang out."

"Okay." You didn't know what was so bad about that, but you wanted to get your Oreos, so you'd keep your mouth shut.

"Alrighty then, let's get you back to bed. Because, if I'm not mistaken, princesses need their beauty sleep."

He tucked you back into bed and got out of the house safely. Now all Jay had to do was to entrust you with the secret that he had snuck and went to a "friend's house", which was code for going to a party.

You had almost fallen back asleep when your door creaked open.

"Y/N," Will whispered.

"Will?"

"Yeah, it's Will," he answered and flicked on your bedside lamp.

"Were you talking to Jay a few minutes ago?"

"No," you lied. You wanted your Oreos!

"Are you sure about that? Because I could've sworn I heard you say Jay Jay."

"You wrong," you told him defiantly.

"Oh yeah? Because I heard him mention Oreos."

"No, no Oreos. He only got me juice."

"So you did talk to him."

"No, I didn't."

"Then who got you the juice?" Will knew you couldn't pour yourself a glass of juice without spilling it everywhere. He also knew that the glasses were up high enough in the cupboard that you needed someone else to reach them for you.

"Uh, uh, the-the juice fairy!"

"The juice fairy, huh? I've never heard of her. Because I could've sworn I heard you ask him if he was going to play soccer and he told you that he was going to a friend's house."

"No, he didn't!" you protested.

"Tell you what, kiddo, if you tell me where Jay went, I will give you Oreos, too."

You furrowed your eyebrows. Will was gonna give you the same thing and Jay might be mad at you. You needed something more. "Oreos and Sour Patch."

"Deal. Sour Patch Kids or watermelons?"

"Kids," you answered.

"Okay, it's a deal. Now, where is Jay going?"

"He went to a friend's house. But he was wearing one of those shirts he wears when he has to go to other schools for soccer," you answered.

"He's going to a party," Will muttered.

"A party? Like my tea parties?"

"Something like that." Where the tea is beer, Will thought to himself. "But, now you have to wait for Jay to give you your Oreos, and then I'll give you your Sour Patch Kids and Oreos."

"Then I have two Oreos?"

"Exactly. Now, time to go back to sleep."

The next day, Jay gave you a family sized-pack of Oreos that you hid in your room. The day after that, Will came home from studying at the library with a family-sized pack of Oreos and a big bag of Sour Patch Kids for you that you also ended up hiding in your room. And, that night at dinner, Will told your parents that Jay had gone to a party. He was grounded until the end of soccer season. But, Will had successfully taught you how to blackmail someone.

"Y/N." Erin's voice broke through your memories of being a little kid and being taught blackmail by your oldest brother. "I need you to breathe for me. Can you do that?"

"W-What if Will-- What if he gets the--"

"Y/N, match my breathing."

She took a deep breath in and you tried to follow. It took a few tries, but your breathing eventually evened out and returned to normal.

"Will," you heard Jay say.

Before you could even think, you had jumped off your chair and were barrelling towards Jay. "Will? You're talking to Will? Is he okay? Is he gonna come out soon?"

"Y/N," Jay spoke calmly, "we just need to ask him some medical questions. Go back to where you were."

"Is he okay?"

"Y/N's here?" Will asked from his spot in the ED. "Why? How?"

"It's a long story. But, I'm gonna put you on speaker so that you can tell her that you're okay and then I need you to answer some questions."

Jay put the phone on speaker.

"I'm fine, kiddo. Really. You wouldn't want to see me right now anyway. You wouldn't want to come in here either because it smells really bad."

"You promise you're fine?"

"I promise. Now, I think I need to answer some questions?"

"Yeah, yeah," you heard Jay say as you walked back towards Erin. It was quiet in there now, as everyone was listening intently to what Will was saying.

Apparently, Antonio and Voight had looked up where this psycho worked and had figured out that he was the same guy who had walked into the high school's office earlier that day, which he probably did for a distraction. Now, they just had Will on the other end telling the infectious disease specialist in the ED all the chemicals that he had been working with so that she could test for them.

***

"Jay! Why'd you turn off your hotspot?" you whined as you pulled up google.

"Because you heard the bacteria and the strain and I know you. I am not letting you go down a google rabbit hole to look this up and try and figure out if Will's gonna die."

You sighed and put your head in your hands. Jay was right, of course, he was right, he's a detective for crying out loud!

"But what if Will's gonna die?"

"Y/N." Jay walked up to you. "He's not gonna die. He's gonna be just fine."

"But you don't know that!"

Jay's phone rang. "It's Will."

"Put it on speaker."

"It's not contagious," Will said.

If you weren't sitting down, you would've fallen to the ground in pure relief.

"So, you're good?"

"Yeah, I'm good. Everyone's good. Whatever he had, it died with him. I've got some patients that need work, but I'll be out soon."

***

Everyone from the hospital, the police, and the firefighters were all currently packed into Mama Garcia's. You, Will, and Jay had snagged a booth because your backpack and homework were still there from earlier.

"That's one good thing about being the middle child I guess," Jay stated after he had taken a bite of a tamale. "Not having to be the victim in one of these bomb situations."

You knew he meant, here, today, in Chicago and not overseas. And, you weren't about to wreck his joke by mentioning that.

"Yeah, but you had to work it," Will pointed out.

"Technically, you did, too, man. I think Y/N was the only one who got out of this without a payday."

Jay's phone rang. "Why's Dad calling me?" His eyes went wide. "Oh shit! I didn't tell him that I picked you up from practice." He threw his phone to Will, who narrowly caught it. "You talk to him!"

"Me? Why me?"

"Because he likes you better!"

"But he's calling you!"

You swiped the phone from Will's hand and answered it. "Jay? Do you know where Y/N is? I came home from work and--"

"Dad, it's Y/N. I'm fine. Jay picked me up from practice and I'm assuming you got a phone call about what happened at school and then he had to go to Med to work that case."

"Med? As in Chicago Med? Where Will just started working?"

"Yes, Dad, Chicago Med. And, we're fine. We're just a Mama Garcia's getting dinner."

"It's ten o'clock at night!"

"I know, and we should be home soon. I promise I won't complain about getting up in the morning."

"Okay, well, I'm glad you three are safe. Just next time, tell Jay to call me."

"Okay, Dad. Bye, love you."

"Love you, too."

You hung up the phone and passed it back to Jay. "He didn't disown me, did he?"

You laughed. "No, no he did not."

"Y/N, right?"

You looked up at the sound of your name to be met with a firefighter.

"Yes, and you are...?"

"Matt Casey." He stuck out his hand for you to shake and you did so. Despite hearing about him, you'd never actually met the lieutenant. "Chief Boden mentioned that you were the one who ran down to Med with all those extinguishers."

"Oh, it was no big deal," you told him shyly. "They're actually Mama Garcia's. I just heard you needed them, so I asked if I could run them over to you guys. It's her you should be thanking."

"Well, you played a big part in that. So, if you want a dessert, on behalf of me and all the guys at 51, it's on me tonight."

He handed you a ten-dollar bill. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it. You made up for your brother almost black-tagging Severide."

"You did what?" Jay practically yelled.

As for you, you had no idea what they were talking about. "What? What's black-tagging?"

"You know what? Never mind," Casey said. "Thanks for all your help today, you guys."

"You were the ones who got them extra fire extinguishers?" Will asked, flabbergasted after Casey walked away.

"Yeah. Jay here wasn't too happy about seeing me over there, but when I told him why he calmed down a bit."

Erin slid into the booth next to Jay and he gave her a kiss.

"Ew, guys! Child in the room!"

Jay stuck his tongue out at you.

"I think he's the child in the room, Y/N," Erin said as she thumbed at Jay.

"So, Y/N, anything else interesting happen today? How'd you do on that math homework I helped you with last night?" Will asked.

"I did really well on it, but that's not even the craziest thing that happened at school today."

"Oh, yeah? Then what was?"

Oh man," you sighed. "Where do I begin? I think to tell you that story I'm gonna need to go get me some Flan."

You picked up the ten-dollar bill Casey had given you and slid out of the booth. If someone would've told you that you'd be buying Flan at Mama Garcia's at ten o'clock at night on a school night, you wouldn't believe them, but it would be plausible at least. The rest of the day? Well, you weren't sure that anyone would believe that you and Jay had been at the location of not one, but two bomb threats in the span of a few hours.

Once you got your Flan, you settled back into the booth. "So, it started out like any normal practice except we had to go to the high school to use the track..."

A/N: Guess who cranked out more than 5k words to get this finished today? That's right, me! Anyway, thank you for almost 8k reads! I know this technically wasn't a PD episode (It was Chicago Fire Season 3 Ep 19), but it had both Will and Jay, and the timeline made it so that it was season 2 of PD, so I thought it was fitting. Finally, please reblog/like and comment and tell me what you think about this one!

If you’re in the taglist, please tell me if it worked, I’m new at this!

The Smell of Plum Blossom Tea Ch 2

Summary: Just like a butterfly wing, a single act of kindness can change the course of the future, it certainly did for MK as a black-furred monkey put out a hand towards him.

Rating: Teen and up

Chapter 2: What’s in a Name?

It was a week since Macaque had taken MK in and to the child it has been the best week of his life. When he woke up in the mornings he didn’t have to worry about there being no food as he smelt it as soon as he opened his eyes, he could play in the forest with all the monkeys as long as Mac was there and he even had clothes that fit him instead of the same stinky shirt on days end. Everything was just wonderful.

“MK, what should we do about school?”

Or at least it was, but as soon as the monkey demon asked that question, MK's whole body deflated. “Do I have to go to school?”

“Education is important shooting star,” he said as he diced up some plants. “It helps things we don’t know and things we want to know.”

“Okay, but it is really boring, I always lose all my stuff all the time, and the teacher always explains it so weirdly,” the child pouted.

“Everyone has a different method of teaching, so you may have a method of learning as well.”

“Oohh….what does method mean?”

“It’s just another word for way.”

“Oh okay,” MK then tilts his head, “so what are you doing anyways?”

“Well right now I’m cutting up some herbs so I can use to make medicine,” he explained in simple terms as he then picked up the diced up blue plant and placed it into a cauldron and began to stir it.

“I didn’t know you could make your own medicine from home!” He leaped up and tried to poke his head over the counter to watch, “I always thought that you get it at the doctor's office.”

“Well doctors actually get it from a lab where people make the medicine there, this space here is my own lab.” He gestured to the room that was filled with all types of different ingredients all placed in a package inside of one storage cabinet and in another was a cabinet filled with modern lab equipment.

“So you don’t have to be a doctor to make medicine?”

“Well for most yeah, but for me,” he grinned as he picks up MK with one hand and placed him on his hip as he continues to stir with his other “let’s just say that I have been doing this for a little over 500 years, so I have a tad bit more experience and knowledge than regular humans.”

“Can I try?!” He excitedly asked.

“Well I don’t know, sometimes it will be a bit too dangerous for you to even be In here, which by the way, do not enter this lab unless I am here,” he sternly told him.

“Okay, okay got it, but pleaseee.”

“I don’t know, think you can handle it,” he teased.

“I’m a big boy! I can handle anything!”

“Hmmmm,” he pretended to think before conceding, “Alright you persuaded me, so I’ll allow it this once,” he said as he put the spoon down, “so first we make sure we have our safety gear on.”

“Check! Check!” MK adjusted the goggles on his eyes and showed off his long sleeve jacket and gloves.

“Next, what you have to do is go slow and make large circles.”

“Slow and large circles, got it,” he then proceeded to pick up the spoon and do what he said as he stirred.

“Good job kiddo, but how bout we make that circle a little bit bigger,” he gently grabbed MK’s hand and made it a bit wider. Soon enough the medicine's previous light yellow had transformed into a dark green.

“Look, it changed colors!” MK pointed out.

“That’s the beauty of medicine kid,” Mac grinned as he set him down, “now all I have left to do is to let this simmer for a few hours and it will be ready to be bottled up.”

“That’s a lot of medicine, is that all for you?”

The demon shook his head, “no it’s actually for one of my regular clients. His students routinely injure themselves, sometimes in the dumbest of ways, so I usually make batches of this every month.” His ears then slightly twitch as he grinned, “speaking of students, MK come here. I have someone here for you to meet.”

“Who?” He tilted his head as the monkey put a lid on a pot, proceeded to put away both of their safety gear as they left the room.

“Hey old-timer, I know your hearing isn’t that bad!” A voice yelled from down below that MK could barely hear, “come grab me, I’m carrying too much shit to climb up!”

“Someone to help,” was all Macaque said before he leaped out of the open window and less than a few seconds later, returned with a short bluenette woman in his arms. “MK this is Yanyu,” he said. “Yanyu, this is MK.”

“Uhhh, he shuffled his feet awkwardly as he gave a slight wave, “hi.”

“Awww,” she cooed at him, “it’s nice to meet you MK. You're rocking a pretty cool shirt there.” She pointed to his solar system shirt, “it’s really far out man.”

There was a pause as MK stuttered out a thank you and Macaque put his face in his hands.

“That was terrible, I hope you know that,” he groaned.

“That’s what you say, I know my puns are rockin my world,” she smirked at the louder groans.

“Please stop, I beg you.”

“Then beg.”

“Are you human?” MK bluntly asked, which made the two pause.

“Strangely enough that isn’t the first time I was asked that, but yes I am fully human. Though a small percentage of me is most likely full of crazy,” she grinned widely.

“I think you have those backward,” he muttered and didn’t even flinch when she elbowed his stomach. “So your probably wondering why she’s here right?”

“Uhhh yeah,” he nodded.

“Well, I have come to the realization that despite my many years with humans, I have never actually taken care of a human child outside of giving them medication.”

“Which he means that he knows not a single thing about taking care of you tiny ones,” Yanyu butted in as she crossed her arms, “and this is where I come in.”

“Oh well that’s good...I think?” MK didn’t exactly know what she meant, but since they said it’s a good thing, he feels like he doesn’t have any complaints.

“Oh trust me, it will be,” she said as she put down the bag and it was filled with books when she opened it up. “I may be a big sister of five, but even I can admit that I don’t know everything, so I brought some parenting books, nutrition, school, and a lot more.”

He couldn’t help but deflate slightly at the last word, which the bluenette noticed.

“Don’t like school?”

“Not really, it's just that I can’t stay focused sometimes,” he admitted as he lowered his head.

“Hey now,” Mac kneeled and ruffled his head, “you don’t have to feel shame for being distracted sometimes.”

“Hmm, well if you have troubles with traditional school classrooms, then how about you try online schooling?” Yanyu said.

“Online school?” MK tilted his head.

“I didn’t know it was also available for the younger grades, I thought it was only for the college classes like you had,” he admitted as he used his feet to pick up one of the parenting books.

“Nah, it was incorporated for all years a few years back. It certainly helped a lot of students out and one of them being me,” she proudly pointed a finger to herself, “let me tell you, kid, it was the second-best decision to do online school. Made my life so much easier.”

“What was the first?” He curiously asked.

Yanyu walked over to Macaque and patted him on the shoulder, “begging this ol doc here to take me on as a student. It was the cheapest and most informative learning I ever had since high school.”

“Student? You were a teacher!” MK's eyes widened as he looked at the monkey demon.

“Kinda, though I did question my sanity during those times,” he said as he flipped through the pages.

“Oh shut up, if it wasn’t for me you would still know squat about technology.”

“I wasn’t that bad.”

“You were still using the Jiaguwen system when I first met you.”

He winced, “okay yeah you got me there.”

“Anywho, it’s gonna be a right pleasure working with you MK,” she held out a fist bump to him, “we’re gonna see a lot of each other.”

MK looked at the outstretched fist and gave a little grin as he fist-bumped her hand.

“Boom,” Yanyu made an exploding sound as she opened her fist when the two parted.

He looked at her strangely.

“Don’t worry Starbright, she’s just weird like that,” Mac patted his head.

“Hey!”

A few months have passed and MK has taken to online schooling like a fish to water. He found it much better to concentrate and while there were still a few issues over understanding the problem itself, he had the help of both Macaque and Yanyu. The last one herself was helping him with his writing.

“The girl is walking to the market by the river to get milk for her mother,” MK repeated to himself as he finished writing.

“Congratulations kid, you have finally graduated from Yoda writing to a regular language,” she gave him a little applause.

“Thank you, thank you you're too kind,” he also jumped out of his seat to give a mock bow.

“But for real kid, you have really approved with your writing,” she gave him a high five, “nice job.”

“I couldn’t have done it without you both,” he scratched the back of his neck.

“I know that you would have been just fine even without our help and I know your dad would agree.”

“Really!” Then MK realized what she said and backtracked as he flailed his arms about, “Wait dad?! I mean dad is kinda a big word and he just adopted me, so he probably doesn’t even see me as a son, more like a responsibility he has to take care-,” he was stopped by a hand gently covering his mouth.

“Whoa there little monkey easy, I can’t keep up that fast,” she lightly teased as she put her hand down, “now you want to tell me what that was all about?”

“Well,” he sat down and kicked his feet, “I-its just-I don’t really-.”

“Take your time,” the bluenette said.

“Well,” he twisted his hands “is it okay if someone-and I don’t mean me just someone I know-don’t call mom and dad, well, mom and dad.”

“Yeah,” she said easily.

“Wait really?” He was a little more than shocked at how easy she said that.

“Really. You, or my bad that person you know, don’t feel comfortable or don’t want to call their parents so that they don’t have to.”

“But they gave birth to me-I mean that person and they raised them, so shouldn’t they have that name?” He tried to insist but was shut down by her shaking her head.

“They don’t keep that name if they harm the child, no parent ever deserves that kind of title if they purposely try to bring harm to their child. It is wrong,” she stated.

“Oh...and what about those that do?” He shyly said, both knowing what he was implying but not saying it out loud.

“Then you say it when your ready,” Yanyu simply said.

“I don’t think it’s that easy?”

“No, but what is?”

MK just shrugged his shoulders.

“Now how about we put away this stuff for ten more minutes before we get into history,” she pushed away from the materials and made sure the laptop was charged up.

“Yes!” He fist-bumped the air as he then spotted the pencil on the ground and tried to pick it up with his feet.

Yanyu had to press her lips together to fight against the bubbling laugh in her throat as she watched MK struggle to pick the pencil with the socks on his feet.

“Oi bastard I need a little help ova here!” A rough voice yelled out as it was followed by a loud bang, which led to the eight year old flailing off his bed.

“How many times have I told you to stop that?” He heard Macaque's familiar voice being annoyed.

“Too many times to count,” another softer voice replied.

“But you think that gunna sticka?” The third voice laughed out loud. “That’s a laugh!”

MK slowly opened his door and crept quietly to the living room as the voices got louder.

“I guess it is too much to ask you to be quiet for once?” The monkey deadpanned.

“Now why would I do that?” The first voice said.

It was at this point that MK managed to poke his head into the living room and saw three different demons, he knows they are demons this time, and his da-Macaque.

There was one whose skin was dark brown, but lighter above the shoulders. The more he looked, the more he could see that they were actually feathers all along the body, and instead of hands, they had clawed bird-like feet and two large black wings protruding from the back.

Another one was softly glowing a light blue hue that matched the pale blue skin as the creature was gently floating just a smidge above the ground. They had almost a mushroom-shaped hat covering their eyes and dozens of dark blue and purple strings attached all around the bottom of the hat as they hung just above the demon feet.

The final one is something that MK could clearly tell what it was as he had seen a bunny before, though this one was way larger than the other bunnies he had ever seen. The demon had pure gray fur and large white fluffy paws, if he wasn’t so nervous right now he would ask to pet them.

“Well I was hoping that you would have kept it down for the kid that is currently living with me right now,” he cracked a smirk at their frozen faces.

“Huh?” They all said in unison.

“Speaking of kids, you can come out MK. Don’t worry bout them too much, they ain’t harmful, just insane.”

At the prompting MK slowly shuffled into the living room and he saw three heads swivel towards him.

“Uhhh hi,” he gave a little wave.

“You have a kid?!?” They all shouted either loudly or softly.

“It’s not that big of a shock,” he grumbled as he walked over to the child and threaded his fingers through his hair. “Sorry, these knuckleheads woke you up.”

“I know I have not been gone that long for you to have a chick without me knowin!” The female bird demon squawked as her feathers puffed up in indignation.

“Nah, adopted him a few months back.”

“And you didn’t tell us?!” The bunny huffed as they thumped his foot in agitation.

“Nope,” he grinned as he watched their growing frustration.

“There are times where you are the best of us and times you are the worst of us, I don’t know which one this falls under,” the mushroom head demon groaned as one of the strings was massaging the top of his head.

“Are they your friends?” MK loudly whispered to the monkey demon.

“I don’t claim these lunatics,” he bluntly said.

“I think you mean to say that we are your amazing, wonderful, fantastic friends that you hold dear,” the bunny demon pointed out as they put an arm around his shoulder.

“I was forced into this,” Macaque said as a wing wrapped around the two of them.

“Ah just admit that you have a soft fuzzy heart for us,” the bird demon grinned.

“Not even when my bones decay away.”

MK just blinked at the unprompted scene as he saw the glowing blue demon approach him.

“Sorry about my companions, they can be a little much sometimes,” he smiled softly to him.

“It’s fine, you're not the only ones who make a loud entrance,” he thought back to the times Yanyu would kick the door open when she walked in.

“I suppose not,” the demon then held out one of his arms to the child, making sure his tentacles were out of the way, “my name is Bohai little one.”

“I’m MK,” he smiled back and shook his hand.

“Oh, we’re doing introductions?! Well, I’m Daiyu chicky,” the female demon grinned or at least that's what he thought she was doing with her scarred beak.

“I’m Minsheng,” the bunny demon twitched their nose and gave a toothy grin, “you're so small that you remind me of my siblings when they were born.”

“How many siblings do you have?” He curiously asked.

“Pfft older or younger? I stopped counting after we reached the 200s,” they laughed.

His eyes widened, “over 200! That’s a lot of brothers and sisters.”

“Well, you know how bunnies are.”

Before MK could question that he felt two furry hands cover his ears.

“How about we don’t talk about that to a kid who has probably never had a crush before,” Macaque hissed to the bunny who had their hands held up.

“He’ll learn eventually.”

“But I would rather have that explained to him by literally anyone but you.”

“Fair enough.”

“Anyways,” the monkey took his hands off MK’s ears, “what were you screeching about earlier?”

“Oh well I got a bit nicked with some of dem cretins after a territory dispute you know how it is and,” Daiyu turned around and showed her back...which had a few knives sticking out of it. “I got a bit scratched up in the tussle.”

“At least you had the sense not to take it out,” he couldn’t help but sigh. “You at least win?”

“Who do ya think your talkin to?” She proudly puffed up her feathers.

“And people say I have too much pride, you damn vultures take the cake,” Macaque rolled his eyes as the two of them walked towards the infirmary room.

“You say that as if you never met Flicker before,” she chortled.

“Well there’s a stark difference between you two.”

“Wha that?”

“He actually has a brain.”

“Hey!” She attempted to pull his dangling fur, but he ducked away in time.

“Can I stay up a little longer!” The seven year old asked before the door could shut.

“Only for a little bit, but when I get back it’s straight to bed.” He answered back and then the door closed.

“Thank you!” He called out regardless as he fully knew that he could hear him.

“And that’s the whole lot of us kid, we're only half as insane as curly made us out to be '' Minsheng joked.

“Almost all of us,” the jellyfish demon said.

“Who you? Ha! Hate to break it to you, but the last time you lost your patience was when they didn’t make your starfish the way you wanted and you paralyzed the entire cooking staff.”

“You didn’t have to bring that up, but no not me,” he waved one of his tendrils. “I meant Ahmed.”

“I didn’t include him in the first place because that man does not even classify as insane,” he bluntly said. “He has the patience of a monk to deal with our brand of insanity which, in hindsight, is insane itself.”

“Whose Ahmed?” MK asked, “is he another friend of d-Mac?”

The two looked at each other before Baiyu spoke, “yeah, he’s a friend of Macaque.”

“Ouch, that’s a low blow for poor Med,” they grinned then winced as a tendril shocked their arm. “What? You know I’m right.”

“You know as well as I do that he can still hear you.”

“I’ve been craving death anyways,” they then turned back to the kid, “so you want to hear some crazy stories about your old man.”

Needless to say that Mac had tackled the bunny demon to the ground, with two violet glowing escrima sticks in hand, in the middle of their story on how the fierce monkey demon had to dance his way across a road of hot coal as he tried to outrun an angry herd of demon pheasant while wearing a rather beautiful kimono.

Macaque was reading out on the patio when his ears twitched as he heard a soft whimpering coming from MK’s room. He put the book on the table when he walked in and safely crept his way over his room and like many times before MK was crying in his sleep from a nightmare once more.

“It’s okay shooting star,” he gently began to thread his fingers through MK’s hair, “it's just a bad dream. You will be fine.”

At first, it didn't have any effect, but the longer he talked the softer the whimpers began to die down and the kid's eyes softly began to blink open.

“W-what's goin on?” He hoarsely said as he rubbed his eyes as he realized that he wasn’t dreaming anymore.

“You just had a bad dream kid,” he hummed as he continued stroking his hair.

“Oh.”

“Want to talk about it?” He received a firm shake of his head, “that’s okay, do you want to lie back down, sing, water, or want me to give you a little shadow puppet show?”

“Shadow show please,” he muffled out as he gripped tighter onto the blanket.

“One show coming right up,” he used a shadow clone to bring back a lantern as the room began to softly glow. When all was set Macaque began his tale in a low voice, “There once was an old man who lived in a shack.” He used some of his shadows to show a picture of an elderly man and wooden shack, “he was nothing special, did nothing extraordinary, and his life was simply normal. Until one day he happens upon the most peculiar thing.”

He continued to tell the tale of the old man even when he, unknowingly, had wrapped his tail around his child’s hand and MK, who was slowly drifting off into a deep slumber, held a tight grip upon it.

MK was currently sitting on the edge of a large lake as he kicked his feet in the water. He was alone at the moment as the monkey demon was tending to the plants that he needs for various medicines. The lake itself was a beautiful view filled with lily pads, reeds standing tall in the crystal lake, fishes and herons swimming in the water. Though he was trying to guess what that large dark shape was, it was nothing he has ever seen before.

“Hmmm I don’t think it’s a fish...maybe a duck?” He leaned in to get a better look and noticed. “Or maybe a turtle!”

The shape shifted as it appeared to be getting bigger and bigger as MK now noticed that he had never seen a turtle with long arms and claws before. He then saw there was long string hair upon what he thinks is its head until suddenly it disappeared and was replaced with two beady eyes. His heart dropped when the creature opened its mouth to reveal countless rows of sharp, pointed teeth. Then it began to rapidly swim towards him.

MK, frightened, fell on his back as he tried to crawl away, but it failed as the creature burst out of the water and onto the ground merely a foot away from him.

He let out a piercing scream, “DDAAADDDDD!”

At the same time the creature, with his mouth wide, said “hi there human child!”

“What?” He abruptly stopped his screaming right as an ominous force suddenly filled up the area as MK then felt two familiar hands scoop him up and hold him close as the voice spoke almost lowly.

“What happe-oh it’s just you,” Macaque let the pressure go back to normal once he realized that there wasn’t a true threat that was trying to attack his kid.

“Bwahahaha,” the creature let out a bellowing laugh, “sorry sorry. I must have scared your youngin.”

“No!” MK instantly said, but then he wilted and nodded, “just a bit.”

“Sorry about that little child, I just get a bit excited when a new face comes around my lake and all,” the webbed creature gave a toothy grin. “I know I startled the pant off Minzhe when I first met him.”

“Your lake? You live here?” MK, after being let down, carefully tried to examine the waters closer.

“Right on the mark, since being a Shui Gui and all.”

“Shui Gui,” he drawled out as he thought about that familiar name.

“Or Kappa, our damn naming changes so often that at this point I just go with the flow.”

“Oh! I know what a Shui Gui is!” MK brightened as he began to tell what his...mom used to tell him. “Aren’t they vengeful demons that have drowned and are bent on dragging helpless victims underwater, drowning them and finally eating their...flesh to…to...” his face took on a look of horror as he realized what he just blurted out. “I am so sorry!”

Luckily though the two demons chuckled, or at least Macaque did as the Kappa was holding his stomach. Though this did make MK’s face flush in embarrassment, he should be glad that the demon wasn’t angry, but he didn’t find any humor in what he said.

“Well I’ll give you credit,” Kappa said as his laughter died down, “what you said was mostly true, except I’m not a demon, just a ghost.”

“And let’s be clear he hasn't eaten people since two-maybe three millenniums ago,” the monkey demon intruded as he knew what MK was gonna ask next.

“You humans have become much too stringy for my taste,” he joked, but it served the opposite purpose as the small child paled even further.

“And this is why your only friend is an adrenaline junkie who has a taste for his own death,” Mac deadpanned as he soothed MK down.

After his heart stopped thrumming in his ears the human managed to look up at his guardian and his eyes widened as he noticed that Macaque suddenly had three pairs of different colored ears: red, blue, and purple. “When did you get three ears?!”

“You just now noticed?” He raised an eyebrow.

“Did you have them all this time?!?!!”

“Not all the time, but I do when it’s quiet usually.”

“Cooolll!” He attempted to climb the monkey to get a better look, “Is this how you're able to hear things from so far away?”

“Yeah,” he lets him examine his ears as only his eye minuscule twitch when MK accidentally pulls it too hard. “Be careful now, only have three pairs of them you know.”

“Right, sorry.” He apologized as he became gentler with his touches. He couldn’t help but gently drag his fingers through the oddly pointed ears and he smiled, now he understood why some of Mac's clients called him the Six-Eared Macaque. He eventually got down and faced the spirit once more, who was just looking at the two of them with amusement. “I’m real sorry for screaming at you.”

“Water under the bridge young child,” he waved him off, “least you apologize for it. I know that half the ones in these woods won’t even say sorry for ramming into you.”

“There’s more of you?” He tried to look in the lake, but he was once again met with only fish and water.

“Me specifically no, but spirits, demons, and other whatnot. Oh yeah there's hundreds of them dwelling in this here forest.”

“Wowww,” his eyes sparkled, “so does that mean that we are all neighbors.”

It was stunned silence before the Shun Gui began laughing once more as he bends down, “PFFTHAHAHA!”

“Did I say something funny?” MK looked towards Mac who was pinching his nose once more.

“No, he’s just obnoxious, that’s all.”

“You know what I like you kid, yeah we’re all neighbors, man even Ping would get a laugh out of this,” the water spirit said after his laughter died down. “Welcome to the neighborhood MK!”

“Thanks...umm what’s your name again?” He embarrassedly asked as he realized that he never got a name throughout this whole interaction.

“Oh here we go,” Mac sighed as he got comfortable and plucked up a Ravenna grass and began to chew on it. He grimaced as he realized that he had plucked up a weed again.

“Eh, you can call me Kappa if you want, don’t care for the whole naming thing,” he shrugged as he got back in the lake and laid there.

“Why not?” He curiously followed him.

“Why should I?” He shot back with a grin.

“Huh?”

“Why should I care for my name? It’s my name and I can do whatever I want with it, so I just choose not to care.”

“But don’t you like your name,” he was very confused about how this conversation came about.

“Oh I do, but truth be told, most of the time I forget others' names, so one day I just thought ‘you know what, what if I just don't use my name all the time’ and I didn't,” he finger gunned at the blank face child.

“You're kinda weird,” he bluntly told Kappa.

“I’m sorry,” Mac spoke up in disbelief, “You met a trio of lunatic demons that are a hot mess in general, an insane human who likes to add too much ghost jalapeño to her food, one of my clients who have their organs outside of their body and this is where you draw the line of weird?”

“I just wanted to know his name!” He threw his hands up.

“Just whatever is fine,” he laughed.

“Well fine! Your name is Whatever now!” He said in a fit of frustration before he realized what he said, “wait! I didn’t mean-,”

“Pfthahaha!” The spirit once more threw his head back in laughter.

“...what is even happening,” MK deadpanned.

“Welcome to my life Starchild,” Mac said as he ruffled his hair.

“That’s an interesting one, alright Whatever it is then,” he gave him a toothy grin.

“Wha-no please no,” MK almost begged him. “I didn’t-,”

“Nope too late, I won’t respond to anything else but Whatever from you. Hope to see you around short stack, you really know how to bring a laugh to a vengeful spirit face,” he let out a bark of a laugh before diving down deep into the lake.

MK blinked for a few moments before turning to Macaque, “is he really gonna-,”

“Oh yeah he is only gonna respond by that name,” he cut him off, “called him a Kappa once to his face and that slimy frog hasn’t let go since.”

“...I think I want to go back home dad,” said MK as he leaned into his fur. “I think I’m done for the day.”

Macaque’s breath hitched as he then gave him a gentle smile and scooped him up in his arms. “Yeah, I think I am as well.” And with that, the two mentally exhausted people made their way back to their warm home.

MK, who proudly turned nine as of a few months ago, was playing in an arcade as his dad was grocery shopping. He stuck out his tongue as he attempted to repeatedly punch the monster in Monkey Mech, but he keeps getting beaten right before he can land the final punch. He mused up his short ponytail out of frustration that was held by a red ribbon, “Oh man! I swear this guy cheats, alright seventeen times the charm.”

“I thought it was the third time the charm?” He turns around at the voice and sees a pigtail girl around his age looking at him.

“It is, but I lost sixteen other times, so this time I will win,” he confidently said as he put another token in, and just like before he lost. “I almost had it!”

“Move over,” the girl pushed him aside and took over the controls, “let me show you how to really play.”

MK's jaw dropped when the Winner title popped up after she managed to land the final triple axel uppercut to the enemy. “How’d you do that?!”

“Oh just a lot of practice, and searching online, to find the right moves to slain the beast,” she bragged.

He went down on his knees and bowed to her, “oh teach me your ways oh wise one.”

“You may refer to me as Master Mei,” she deepened her voice to sound elderly, “and who shall I call my young student.”

“Call me MK,” he followed along with glee, he hasn’t played with a kid his age in so long.

“Well then let me show you the ways of Monkey Mech,” and with that the two proceeded to play the game, playfully pushing each other as they double battled in a co-op mode. It wasn’t until a few hours had passed, and they had long passed Monkey Mech and went into all the different kinds of games in the arcade when MK noticed the digital clock behind the counter.

“Aww man, it’s getting late,” he pouted as he didn’t want to end, “I have to meet up with dad.”

“Awww,” Mei's shoulder slumped as they walked to the prize area, “that sucks.”

“Yeah,” he slumped his shoulder, as well as the two, looked through the prizes available, which did brighten the mood a bit as Mei left with a strange mutated stuffed dog that had three eyes, a few pieces of candy, and three bouncy balls, while MK was sucking on a swirly lollipop, pieces of chocolate in his pocket, and a sticky hand sling that he is slinging everywhere.

“So you like racing?” MK asked as they left the arcade, besides the Monkey Mech he noticed that Mei tended to go to the racing games more often.

“Yes! One day I will have my own motorcycle and I will be faster than anyone, even the Monkey King!” Mei declared.

“Even the Monkey King? Wow that is fast,” he said in awe, he read the story of the Journey to the West from the library. He was quickly enamored with the story the more he read and he soon began to idolize the great Monkey King. To think that such a being could ever exist in the first place was amazing! He did find it funny that the great Monkey King rival was named Macaque, it was hilarious to think that his dad could ever have powers to fight on equal standing with a god-like immortal. Grumpy? Sure! Easy annoyed? Oh yeah definitely, but scary? Ha! The scariest thing Dad has ever done was glare at his patients when they were being too noisy, but for some reason it always works as they shrink back in fear. He mentioned it to Yanyu and the demon gang one time and well-

“HAHAHAH/PFFTTTTT/SQUAK SQUAWK SQUAAAKK/SHEHEHEH,” Yanyu was rolling all over the floor as Minsheng was banging his feet, Daiyu was slamming the table with her wings, and Bohai was using all his tentacles to wrap himself.

-they burst out laughing when he mentioned this to them. He still hasn’t gotten a full answer for that one, all they told him was to wait.

“I wonder how far that can go?” Mei curiously asked as she watched the green sling attach itself on the top of the door that they were exiting.

“Not far, how high can your bouncy ball bounce?” He asked as he then watched her bounce the ball and saw it soar a bit high above their heads.

“Not that high either...how about we combine them,” she gave a mischievous grin as MK followed suit as he used his sticky sling and attached it to the ball.

“One,” Mei started.

“Two,” MK raised his hand in mid-air.

“Thr-”

“Ready to go kid.”

“AH!” They screamed and watched the sling and ball slip from his hand and instead of bouncing, it was thrown in Mac's face, who easily caught it.

“Not the first time I had something thrown at me,” he didn’t even blink at the outburst, though he did take a second glance at the other child next to his son, “though your new, made a friend Stardust.”

“Her name is Mei!” MK excitedly said though it didn’t look like Mei was paying attention to him at all as her focus was all on Macaque, or more specifically, his head.

“What?” The monkey demon raised an eyebrow.

“You have the longest hair I have ever seen,” her eyes sparkled as she instantly zoomed behind him and started to pull on his fur. “Can I braid it?!”

“It’s actually fur,” he corrected her.

“Can I still put it in a braid?”

“Sure.”

“Then I don’t care!” She happily proclaimed and pointed to one of the benches. “Sit.”

“...” he looked towards his kid who just shrugged his shoulders, “well I guess this is happening,” he sighed as he got a clone to take the rest of their groceries back home.

Needless to say that Mei very much enjoyed putting the demon fur in a messy, but still manageable, braid.

“You know if I had some Morning glories, they would look amazing in your hair,” she mused.

“You know their weeds right?” He pointed out.

“So? They look awesome.”

“You got me there.”

“There!” She proudly finished her creation with her green ribbon tied up at the end, “you have very fluffy hair.”

“Fur,” he once more corrected her.

“Eh fur, hair there the same thing,” she turned back from the monkey and to MK with a nervous smile, “you will definitely come back right? I haven’t finished playing all the arcade games with you.”

MK looks towards his dad with puppy dog eyes and Mei easily follows suit.

“You know those don’t work on me right,” he deadpanned and smirked at their hanging heads, “but yeah, I’ll drop him off from time to time.”

“Yes!” They both jump up in cheer, only for some of their candy to fall out and onto the floor.

“My babies!” MK rushed to pick up his pieces of semi-melted chocolate.

“Noooo!” Mei quickly began to grab as many of her jawbreakers as it rolled away.

Macaque watched them in amusement at their mad scramble to save their sugar fix.

Part 21

Takahiro: We need to talk. (His speech was still slightly slurred).

Usagi: Ar- are you drunk?

Takahiro: Only a little bit. Is my family there?

Usagi: (Sighs, leans against the wall, crossing his arms), That depends, what family are you talking about?

Takahiro: My wife and Kid.

Usagi: So not the baby brother you claim to care so much about, only to get drunk because you hate the fact that he’s gay?

Takahiro: You don’t Understand.

Usagi: What I understand is, that the you’re going to lose the brother you say you care about so much if you don’t come to terms with who he is and his happiness. I think you should probably figure your shit out before his graduation, or you might lose him forever.

Takahiro: B-

Usagi: I have to go, I think it’s better if you give everyone space. (Hangs up, Misaki Runs into his arms, tears are in his eyes). Did you hear all that?

Misaki: Yeah.

Usagi: I’m sorry.

Misaki: It’s not you’re fault. Um, can we just go to bed.

Usagi: Sure, yeah. It’s been a long day. (He picked the younger boy up cradling him in his arms, heading up the stairs to their room).

Misaki: (Wraps his arms around his neck), I didn’t ask you to do this.

Usagi: (Laughs softly), Yeah, but you aren’t really complaining.

(Usagi walked into their room, closing the door behind him, sitting Misaki on the bed, he grinned staring down at him causing Misaki to blush.)

Misaki: What?

Usagi: (Leans down, pushing hair behind Misaki's ear. He smiles warmly kissing him on the lips.) You’re so fucking sexy. I- miss you.

Misaki: (He sighed, rubbing his hands up and down Usagi’s arms), I miss you too.

Usagi: Can’t we, (He gave a naughty smile, sliding his hands under Misaki’s shirt, playing with his nipples).

Misaki: (Moans slightly), No baby, you know we can’t.

Usagi: You aren’t making any effort to move my hands.

Misaki: It feels good, I miss it, but no. (He took Usagi’s hands out of his shirt), stop babe.

Usagi: (Sits on the bed beside him), Look, I just think we can have sex, what's the worst that can happen?

Misaki: Your stiches that are barely healed could come undone, then you have to get them fixed, and we’ll have to wait longer. You just got home from the hospital a few days ago and for some reason I just let you lift me.

Usagi: We’ll the Doc said, no heavy lifting so...

Misaki: Hey... (He knocked against Usagi), I just want you to be carful.

Usagi: We’ll can we sleep with our shirts off?

Misaki: You have to promises no nipple play.

Usagi: Okay. (He grinned, ripping Misaki’s shirt off pushing him on the bed hungrily kissing him).

Misaki: (He looks up at the older man, running his fingers through his hair, moving his arms down to the bottom of his shirt, slowly taking it off. Misaki ran his hands over the older mans back.)

Usagi: I thought we weren’t doing this. (He grins placing kisses all over Misaki’s face.)

Misaki: We aren’t, but, that doesn’t mean I can’t feel your back right? I miss the feel of it.

Usagi: You’re cute.

Misaki: (Blushes), you know how I feel about that word.

Usagi: Yeah, you love it.

Misaki: I actually have grown to love it.

Usagi: Because you know it’s true.

Misaki: Maybe, (The younger boy shivers)

Usagi: Are you cold?

Misaki: Yeah, it’s freezing.

Usagi: (He smiles, pulling the covers around them, turning now the two were on their sides). Better?

Misaki: Not quite. (He grinned, turning to Usagi, so his head was on his chest), perfect.

Usagi: (Grins, Wrapping his arms around Misaki). Absolutely.

(The two fell asleep, wrapped in each others arms, their hearts syncing, beating as one).

(Usagi was the first to wake, it was around seven thirty am, Misaki was sound asleep, his head resting against Usagi’s chest, the older man smiled gently pressing a kiss against his head. He loved Misaki so much, he wished Takahiro would accept Misaki, he knew Usagi was Gay and didn’t mind, Misaki was probably right, his brother had this whole life planned out for him, and his plans didn’t include him being gay, let alone falling in love with his brother best friend. Takahiro would have to get over it, Misaki was who he was, and he couldn’t change that, and it’s not like they planned to fall in love, Usagi clearly remembers that they hated each other at first. Usagi laughed to himself, he couldn’t believe almost five years ago they met, and a few months after that they started dating, although, he still feels awful about the way he treated him when he first came to his place, Misaki forgives him but Usagi still feels sick when you thinks about it. He closed his eyes trying to push the memory away again. Misaki stirred, he stretched looking up at the older man.)

Misaki: Hi, (He grinned, blushing).

Usagi: Morning. Did you sleep well?

Misaki: Yeah, I guess. (He ran his hand over Usagi's muscular chest). Did you?

Usagi: Mmmmm.

Misaki: Good. (He sat up pulling the covers around him, he looked down at Usagi who propped himself up on his elbow, grinning at him).

Usagi: What is it baby? (he ran his hand up Misaki’s thigh).

Misaki: Um, (Misaki twisted his engagement ring around on his finger), Never mind its nothing. I- I’m going to take a shower. (Misaki started to get out of bed, but Usagi reached for him).

Usagi: Tell me what’s wrong.

Misaki: Todays Saturday.

Usagi: Ah, (He sat up, giving him a confused look), and Saturdays make you sad?

Misaki: I graduate next week.

Usagi: So you’re nervous?

Misaki: No, I- (He looked down at the floor), I guess I don’t know how to feel, and with everything going on right now, Maybe I don’t want to Graduate.

Usagi: I know. (He sat on the edge of the bed) Come here, (He pulled Misaki on his lap), What do you want to do?

Misaki: Well, I want to take a shower. (He giggled), Um then I want to go get breakfast.

Usagi: Okay, where do you want to go?

Misaki: Lets go to the place we went yesterday? I know it’s out of the way, but can it be our place?

Usagi: Might as well be, It’s going to be close to our house.

Misaki: Okay. Also, I know you told my brother he should give us space but what i-

Usagi: No baby, you can’t go to him. it’s his job to figure this out. If you make up with him, he’ll think he’s off the hook, he’s not.

Misaki: Yeah, I guess. I just want to do something.

Usagi: (Caressing Misaki's face), I know, because your a fixer, this is different though.

Misaki: I know, (Kiss Usagi’s cheek), I’m going to take a shower. (Stands up).

Usagi: Can I come?

Misaki: (Rolls eyes), Fine, but no funny business.

Usagi: (Laughs, standing up), I KNOW! I KNOW! (Wraps arms around Misaki placing kisses on his neck).

Misaki: (Giggles); Hey, quite it.

Usagi: You said no funny business, you didn’t say no kissing.

Misaki: (Runs into bathroom), Sneaky.

Usagi: (Grins, chases after him).

Mahiro: Mommy, I’m hungry! (lying on his stomach, legs in the air, reading a book).

Manami: (On the couch flipping through channels), I know honey, but it sounds like your Uncles are up, so maybe when they come downstairs we can figure out breakfast. I can get you some juice and crackers for now?

Mahiro: Okay!

Manami: Alight, (she grins, standing up, ruffling Mahiro’s hair as she passes him walking into the kitchen).

Mahiro: Mom, when will Mitaki and Uangi get married?

Manami: I don’t know sweetie: (Brings snacks to him).

Mahiro: Are they going to have kids?

Manami: Maybe, why? you want cousins?

Mahiro: Yeah! Plus, I think they would make good parents, they deserve kids...( Puts, a finger to his chis), How do they have kids?

Manami: Um...

Mahiro: They can’t have kids like you and daddy.

Manami: And how did daddy and I have kids?

Mahiro: I don’t know, but I know that they can’t do it like you guys did.

Manami: Well, if they want to, they have a few options, but that would be up to them.

Mahiro: Oh. (Takes a sip of juice), is this one of the conversations for when I’m older?

Manami: Or when they decied to have kids, and we can explain it to you better.

Mahiro: Okay.

Manami: (Sighs), Okay. (Sits down, leans against couch).

(Misaki wrapped a towel around his waist as he stepped out of the shower, Usagi has gotten out before him and was getting dressed in the bedroom. The older man still preferred wearing sweats instead of his dress shirts and ties, Misaki walked into the bedroom where Usagi wore black sweat pants, he was digging through the draws looking through a shirt to wear when he turned around to face the younger boy).

Usagi: Hey,(He pulled him towards him kissing his cheek).

Misaki: Hi. (He look down at his stomach, looking down at his scar, carefully running his fingers over it).

Usagi: Misaki, it’s okay.

Misaki: It’s not.

Usagi: I’m okay though. I’m here. Plus, I never would've discovered my love for sweats without it.

Misaki: (Laughs sadly), Yeah I guess.

Usagi: Don’t worry. (He grinned putting on a black shirt and a black hoodie). I love you.

Misaki: I love you too.

Usagi: Okay, I’m going to take this downstairs. (He picked up the laundry basket sitting on the), I’ll see you in a minute, then we can go eat.

Misaki: Sounds good.

(He stood up kissing Usagi softly on the lips, he exited the bedroom, Misaki went to the dresser searching for something to wear, landing on gray sweatpants, a white shirt, and a red hoodie, quickly towel drying his hair, then he made his way downstairs. Misaki paused at the top of the stairs, watching Usagi interact with Mahiro, the two were growing closer, it made his heart swell.)

Usagi: Go fish.

Mahiro: You promise you don’t have any fives?

Usagi: I don’t have any fives, I’d let you have a five if I did.

Mahiro: Fine. (He grumbled pulling a card from the deck, a huge smile forming across his face.) I GOT THE FIVE!! I DIDN’T NEED YOUR STINKY CARDS ANYWAY!

Usagi: (Laughs), Good game. (He stacked the cards together shuffling them).

Misaki: (Walking up behind him, kissing him on his cheek), Hey.

Usagi: Hey, you ready?

Misaki: Yeah, (He glanced at Manami and Mahiro), You guys want to come eat breakfast with us?

Mahiro: Yes!! (He jumped up running over to Misaki almost knocking him over, running into the mudroom, Manami racing after him).

Usagi: Aright, lets go. (He stood up stretching, as his phone started to ring), Hold on. Hello?

Eri: Usami; it’s me.

Usagi: (he slid his hand in his pocket, glancing at Misaki, raising an eyebrow.) What's up Eri?

Eri: What are y’all up too today?

Usagi: About to go eat, why? what's up?

Eri: Rose has the day off, we were wondering if you wanted to hang out.

Usagi: Well, you can join us for breakfast if you want, I can text you the address?

Eri: Sure! See you soon!

Usagi: (Hangs up, putting phone in his pocket, Misaki is staring at him in disbelief). What?

Misaki: It’s just, not even a few months ago, you wanted me all to yourself, and now...

Usagi: (He sighed, pulling Misaki towards him wrapping his arms around his neck). These people are our family, and I always want you to myself. (He chuckled), But we haven’t seen Eri and Rose in a while, I thought it would be nice to invite them out.

Misaki: Remember when you hated people? What happened to that guy? That’s the guy I fell in love with.

Usagi: (Laughs), You’re so full of shit. The guy you fell in love with is the clingy overprotective guy.

Misaki: Yeah, (He scoffed), That guy shows himself to others a lot these days. A lot of people didn’t think you had another side to you.

Usagi: You’re the one who helped bring out the softer side of me.

Misaki: Ah, I can’t take all the credit.

Usagi: You can, I’d be dead if I hadn’t met you.

Misaki: (He grinned softly kissing Usagi on the lips). Maybe, I know I wouldn’t be graduating if I hadn’t met you. I’d also be really sad.

Usagi: You make me really happy too baby. (He grinned, the two leaning in for a kiss when Mahiro ran in pulling their hands).

Mahiro: LETS GO I’M HUNGRY!!

Baby Doll

Joe Mazzello x reader

wc: 1.7k

Your husband, Joe and you welcomed your daughter, Samantha Beatrice Mazzello into the world just two weeks ago. For you and him they were all restless nights due to Sam crying all damn night. You didn't know how people do this so well but you were struggling. It it wasn't for Joe, your rock, you were sure the baby would've been dead. Not really but you get the gist.

It was currently three in the morning and you were blindly searching for your husband in your bed. You took off the covers and walked into the nursery. There he was, a shirtless Joe and a baby Sam in her diaper sat in the rocking chair. “You're going to meet your fam today. Isn't that cool?!” He whispered to the girl happily. You watched from the sidelines till the baby's arm motioned towards you. He turned to you and a grin over took his face. “Hey babe. Look she stopped crying!” He beamed. You walked over to your husband and kissed him. “I didn't even hear her.” He nodded. “I woke up before she started. So I took off my shirt after her first cry.”

“Who's coming today baby?” You asked. You had already forgotten who you invited. “Ben, Gwil, Rami and Lucy, Rog and Sarina, Brian and Anita, and the fam from both sides aren't coming to New York till next week.” You nodded. The baby yawned and stretched out her arm before nuzzling back into Joe. He smiled, “Why don't we just take her to the room so we both can sleep?” He nodded and you both left the room to sleep another 5 hours.

When you woke up around nine thirty, Sam was awake but Joe was still out. You grabbed the baby out of his arms and went down to the kitchen to make food. You put the baby in the swing and started making dinner. Soon enough, you felt Joe's arms wrap around your middle. “Why didn't you stay asleep? You need it more than I do.” You shrugged. “baby was bound to cry anyways.” He nodded. “God damn I love you.” He said into your neck before biting it gently. “Tease.” He giggled. He unraveled from you and went to look at the babe. He was only clad in boxers and a shirt but you couldn't help but stare. “You gonna keep staring, you creep.” He chuckled. “can't help it when my husband looks as good as you.” He smiled. He came close to you and kissed you gently. “go brush your teeth, stinky.” You laughed. You had brushed your teeth beforehand so he couldn't say anything to you. He rolled his eyes but left to brush his teeth nonetheless.

You, Joe and Sam ate together at the table before having to get the house ready for the guests who'd come later in the day. You put on a off the shoulder pink shirt, white bell bottoms because no one can get enough bell bottoms in their lives, and some black boots. You cleaned up the house with Joe's help, bathed the baby, made her look oh-so adorable, and made dinner for the guests. Ben and Gwil came first around five in the afternoon. Dinner was at six, but it gave you guys time to catch up.

“I swear she's a baby doll.” Ben said holding her Gwil sat next to him and you were sat in Joe's lap. He kissed your neck as he saw them interact with Sam. “Whats her full name?” Gwil asked. “Samantha Beatrice.” Ben tickled the girl and she smiled.

There was a knock on the door and you hoped off Joe's lap to answer it. It was Lucy and Rami along with Brian and Anita, all clad with goodies they brought for the nugget. “Welcome welcome.” You told them. They all hugged you as they passed inside the house. Lucy stayed behind to hug you and talk with you. “The post pregnancy glow is doing you wonders y/n/n.” She said making you blush. “Oh my God.” You heard Brain gasp. Just as you turned to go the couch, there was another knock at the door. It was Roger and Sarina. “Roger! Sarina! You hugged them. “i want you both to know that Deaky sends his love.” Roger told you and Joe. Even though you had never actually met John he seemed like a lovely man. He was especially nice to Joe, maybe he actually considers him like a son. Sarina entered and handed you a gift bag, “that's from me to you. But this one,” She trailed off as she pulled out another bag. “This is for the munchkin.” You hugged her, “thank you so much Sarina.” You peeked into the bag and saw tiny little bottles of wine and other assorted alcoholic beverages. She looked over at you after you peeked inside, she winked at you and you smiled at her.

Roger and the boys were all playing with the baby. And the coffee table was overflowing with gifts for her. At two weeks old she was already getting spoiled from her aunt's and uncles. You heard the oven ding and you asked Lucy if she'd help you. You passed dinner out and y'all dug in.

Dinner was soon eaten. And you all had migrated to the living room to play with the baby and talk some more. “ So when are you guys going to have another one?” Roger asked. Joe had taken liberty to answer this one. “We don't actually know. But right now we just want to go back to sleep and fucking.” You smacked him playfully as your face flushed red. The people all around you laughed and you were shaking your head at his antics. “with protection? Babe, I down know what you want me to say.” Joe laughed. “We if you're going to be anything like Deaky you better knock her up real quick.” Brian said laughing. Sarina was behind Roger filming the whole exchange so they could send it to John. Soon enough John responded, “ahh like father like son.”

After that exchange, Lucy and Roger was talking to you about the birth while the rest of them where too occupied by the baby. But that all was changed when a blood curdling scream erupted from Sammy. Your maternal instincts kicked in, but before you knew it Joe had her in his arms ready to change her or to calm her down. You visibly calmed down and Gwil took the chance to ask, “How was Joe throughout the birth and stuff?” You chuckled. “When I told him that my water had broken but the contractions hadn't started he insisted on taking me to the hospital. But I said no because you were supposed to wait till your contractions were five to six minutes apart. Well Joe could not keep still. And keep in mind that this was at ten at night. My contractions were irregular and he was walked around the house, biting his nails just trying to calm his nerves. I told him it was better to just go to sleep and he couldn't sleep for a good hour. Around three my contractions were way more painful and more frequent. They were at five to six minutes and that's when I woke up Joe to go to the hospital.” I paused for a second as I remembered the events. “He sped to the hospital and by the time we got there I was only like two centimeters dilated. We were at the hospital all day and only at eleven o'clock doc had told me I was ready to start pushing, I guess. Im pretty foggy on the actual birth. I just remember the pain, squeezing Joe's hand so hard he shouted, and the baby's first cry.” You chuckled. “Joe was complained that I broke his hand and I remember calling him a pussy. Because I had just done that and he couldn't handle me squeezing his hand.” They laughed. “To be fair,” Joe's said walking back into the room with Sam in his arms. “You did bruise it kind of badly.” You chuckled. “That's what Dominique did when she gave birth to Felix. I remember her screams covering my own as she screamed because of Felix and I screamed because she was holding on too hard.” He chuckled. “Can't say the same with Chrissie. She was holding on hard because of Jimmy but I could handle the pain.” He smirked. “It's because he's got the brains and the bronze.” Anita smiled at him. Roger scoffed. “Should've seen him when he'd get wasted and start a bar fight. Mate was down in two seconds. Hell even when he wasn't wasted he'd go down quick.”

The night went by quick and soon it was midnight, Sammy was already sleeping. And the guests filed out to get home. You put on your pajamas as Joe brushed his teeth. You went to look at Sammy and she was still sleeping like the little angel she was. You went back to the bed and there Joe with his arm wide open ready for you to come in and nuzzle yourself into him under the covers. But before you did so, you gave him kisses all over his face and then finally kissed his lips. “I love you,” you told him as you did so. “You gave me that amazing child and I love you so freaking much.” You grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards you to kiss him so you could show him just how much you loved him. “I love you too baby.” He said. “We should probably go to sleep though. We don't want another baby now do we?” He said. “At least not now.” He clarified. You kissed him one last time before going into his side. Your arm thrown around his middle and his arm resting on your bum. He squeezed it ever so slightly and you chuckled. “you are such a tease.” He laughed. “But you love me.” He said. “That I do joey.” You closed your eyes. “That I do.”

Roleplay Server Log #373

“Dawn vs Karla, Trender Arrives, Porygon”

[Splender] - Is pouting because of how much it's raining. He can't go and play with the kids because of it

[Ringleader] - Come on Splender, it'll be alright. The sun will come back soon

[Mirabella] - Splender, I'm sure the children are fine

[Solace] -Is unbothered by the rain- The children are definitely fine, Splendor. Don't you worry,

[Splender] - But we were going to play hide and seek!

[Mirabella] Shakes her head a little-

[Splender] Perks a little- Oh!

[Luna] - Is everything alright Splender?

[Splender] - Trender's coming!

[Solace] That's wonderful! I was wondering who was next.

[Splender] Moves and makes an opening for Trender, smiling happily-

[Trender] Comes through, he's far from happy- Splender...

[Splender] - Trender!

[Trender] - WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GO THROUGH MY WORKROOM! YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC CUPBOARD FOR YOU TO USE!

[Splenderr] Yelps and backs down a little-

[Mirabella] Grows nervous-

[Trender] - What use could you possibly have for a bunch of thread and plain cloth!

[Splender] - Er, well...

[Trender] Turns around ready to rage more- I cannot believe you would go and... Mother?

[Mirabella] - Hello Trender

[Trender] - Er, but, what?

[Solace] We found mom! -Jazz hands-

[Trender] - ... How!?

[Splender] - Doc did it!

[Mirabella] Smiles a little at her sons interactions-

[Trender] Is already judging Mirabella's clothes and how he's going to make them better-

[Mirabella] - I recognize that look Trender

[Trender] Scoffs a little-

[Splender] - Solace, are you ready to go?

[Solace] I suppose so. And be gentle with mom, Trender!

[Trender] - Why wouldn't I be?

[Luna] Moves to stand with Solace-

[Splender] - Just let us know if you ever want to come back Solace!

[Solace] Oh definitely.

[Solace] Come Luna. -Steps through portal-

[Luna] Follows Solace through and Splender closes the portal behind them-

[Splender] Then hugs Trender- I'm sorry about going into your workshop!

[Trender] - Why did you even do that?

[Mirabella] - I'm sorry, he was getting some things for me

[Trender] - Your embroidery, I see...

[Mirabella] - Please, sit Trender, there's so much I want to hear from you

-It's been a few days and Deer has calmed down enough that it has stopped storming, but she's now pacing the hallway by the shrine, her mind filled with worry and concern-

[Yaunfen] Sneaks up - Mom?

[Deer] - Hm? Yes Yaunfen?

[Yaunfen] Holds out a rather toasty mushroom with what looks like blueberries embedded in the top. - I warmed up another fossil. I planted some of them already. Do you want one? The analyser says it's a blushberry mushmuffin.

[Deer] - Sure, I'll try it. Thank you. Do you know where your Mada is?- She takes the offered food and tries a bite

[Yaunfen] They're in the lab... we got another stinky failure plant and the floor got all wet.

[Deer] - I see, join me while I walk there?

[Yaunfen] Sure! - They pull out a bit of gold carmel and chew on it while following her.

[Deer] Heads down to the lab- Doc? Love?

[Doc] Is wielding a sponge at the last small bit of water. - Oh hey!

[Yaunfen] Goes uder the stairs and plays with Waffles ears a bit because they're sleepy.

[Deer] - Love, I've been feeling some really odd energy surges today

[Doc] Oh dear... you don't think Cp is going to have one of his fits again, do you?

[Deer] - No, I don't recognize who it's coming from, but it is coming from the vicinity of Lie's place

[Doc] Okay... I'll go check it out. You should go see Yaunfen's little garden, it's looking pretty good today.

[Deer] - Could you, take Dawn with you? I'm probably just being paranoid, but it would make me feel better...

[Doc] -sighs- ... Okay... if I must. - They set off up the stairs already dialing their phone.

[Deer] - Yaunfen, why don't you show me your garden?

[Yaunfen] Yus.

[Doc] Has walked halfway to Lie's and is on the phone, xe doesn't notice the big shadow that's trailing hir-

[Dawn] Yeah... I guess I can come over. It's the middle of the night here you know?

[Doc] I'm sorry. Deerheart is just agitated and it's not good to second-guess her intuition. - Xe makes a hole and stands in front ot it.

[Dawn] Emerges with a yawn. She's wearing a long black bathrobe with pajama pants underneath and a pair of flip flops. - You wake me up this is what you get. And- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT???

[Doc] Spins in alarm-

[Exeggutor] Grins at them mischeviously-

[Doc] You scared me... it's a pokemon. One of mine.

[Dawn] I'm not going to question you owning a walking palm tree.

[Doc] It's psychic too. - Leading the way-

[Dawn] Of course it is...

[Lie] Is in her lava pool in the workroom, she is actually naked which is basically CP's way of keeping her there for the moment-

[Doc] Happens to look up as they pass, and hollers- Hey Cp?

[CP] Is up on top of his tree- What?

[Doc] Deerheart said she was detecting some energy surges, are you feeling okay?

[CP] - I'm fine for the time being

[Doc] Okay then... Anyone else having issues?

[CP] - Weeeeeeell

[Dawn] Yawns again- We're listening.

[Doc] At least come down here.

[CP] - I'd rather stay up here, Lie's... Kinda on a different level of crazy right now

[Dawn] Well we know where the surges are coming from then....

[Doc] That's an interesting twist of fate.

[CP] - Yeah, I don't know how to handle that right now, so I left it to Karla

[Dawn] Little hiss- You left her alone with that..?

[CP] - ... Yes!

[Doc] Should I be worried about this?

[Dawn] Come on- Pulls Doc to the door.

[Exeggutor] Ambles after them and presses up against the glass to see inside.

[Lie] Is low in the lava, her hair spilling out of the tub and a brush abandoned nearby-

[Doc] Oh! Sorry Lie. I didn't realize you were taking a bath.

[Dawn]-eyebrows- That looks... warm...

[Lie] - CP put me here

[Doc] Um... why?

[Lie] - So I wouldn't go anywhere

[Dawn] That's a bit rude.

[Lie] - He's been doing it a lot more lately when he can't find somebody to keep an eye on me

[Dawn] Do I dare ask why someone would need to keep an eye on an adult woman?

[Karla] Leaning on a wall- Because she keeps wandering off.

[Lie] - It's not my fault! My brain just keeps forgetting what I'm doing or where I'm going! And Dawn? Why are you wearing that?

[Dawn] Because I was sleeping. And this one- thumbs at Doc- Dragged me out of bed.

[Doc] Hey!

[Lie] Grumbles- At least your wearing clothes...

[Doc] To be fair, we could pull you out, but Cp is hotter then I am and much better to clean you up.

[Lie] - No need- She pulls her arm out of the lava, watching the molten rock slide off without hardening

[Doc] OH.

[Dawn] Is that... not normal for you?

[Karla] Her core temperature is rising. Possibly just because the baby wants her to stay in the heat.

[Lie] - Normally lava will harden on me

[Dawn] Beats being burned.

[Lie] - And he hid the rest of my clothes so he'd be sure I'd stay here

-Outside some of her wolves start barking a little and Lie immediately saddens-

[Doc] Glances and sees her expression- Lie...

[Dawn] There has to be a better way to handle this.

[Lie] Sniffs a little- Still no sign of them Doc?

[Doc] Looks down - No... I think we may have to assume the worst...

[Lie] - Oh...- She sinks a little lower into the water, a few tears running down her face

[Karla] Gives the others a look that clearly shows today has been a rollercoaster ride, and not in a good way.

[Lie] Her emotions suddenly switch and she starts getting mad- I want to destroy that damn thing...

[Dawn] Ooookay.

[Karla] I like your tone, but I don't think now is the best time to attempt such a thing.

[Doc] Visibly frightened-

[Lie] - But it's a threat and it took my wolves and it could potentially harm my baby!

[Doc] But Lie... you're not the target here. And I think it took the wolves just because they were covenient.

[Lie] Frowns a little- I know but... I need to make sure she's safe- Her hands come to rest on her belly

[Karla] She's got some pretty fierce protectors Lie.

[Lie] - I know...

[CP] Mentally to Doc- Is she calming down any?

[Doc] Thinks hard - She's just all over the place....

[Exeggutor] Ferocious nodding from below the tree- Eeeeexxxxxxx

[Hope] Trots into the room and starts sniffing Dawn-

[CP] - So no change, got it

[Blake] Pees on the base of Cp's tree-

[Dawn] Picks up the cat- aww, hello there.

[Lie] - That's Hope

[Hope] Little mews and bats-

[CP] - What do you want Blake?

[Dawn] Good name. - pets the cat-

[Blake] Urf- Tail thump on the ground-

[CP] - I'm betting your hungry again...

[Lie] - She was a gift from a friend after a little... Incident

[Doc] Chuckles- That was funny. You shoulda seen your face-

[Lie] - I'm surprised you remember considering how sick you were that night

[Doc] Yeah... that was a bad time...

[Karla] Some kind of drunken debauchery?

[Dawn] Sits on one of the spare beds and puts Hope in her lap-

[Lie] - My ever so intelligent husband gave Doc blood poisoning

[Dawn] How in the world...?

[Doc] Because he was a dirty little cat with dirty claws and he scratched me.

[Lie] - Where is CP anyways?

[Doc] You'd never believe it.

[Lie] - Why?

[Hope] Rolls onto her back-

[Dawn] Plays with her little feet gently-

[Doc] Because he's hiding.

[Lie] - Why would he be hiding?

[Karla] He's hiding... from you.

[Lie] - I don't get it...

[CP] Floats down to check on Blake-

[Doc] Your erratic behavior freaks him out. You're actually scaring him.

[Blake] Happy wagging and dashing around Cp-

[Lie] - I don't mean too...- She's starting to feel bad and it can be felt through the red stone hearts

[Dawn] It's obvious he's just worried about you.

[Karla] He's also used to you being the mild one, when your temper flares like that I think he's unclear on how to respond.

[Lie] - I don't mean too!

[CP] Heads for the house, assuming Blake wants food-

[Doc] Easy Lie, we know you're not doing it on purpose. Cp is just... he's scared. He wants you to be safe and the baby too.

[CP] Opens the door, ushering Blake in-

[Lie] - I know, and I know how much this is stressing him too...

[Karla] Nods to Cp- It's hormones. You're creating a whole new person from scratch. It's a lot of stress on everything, even for a digital demi-goddess.

[Blake] Sees Dawn and stops short. He bares his teeth at her and hides behind Cp-

[CP] - Knock it off Blake

[Hope] Perks as she watches Blake-

[Blake] Turns his back on Dawn and sits down-

[Dawn] It's okay. He has good reasons not to like me. I'm not taking it personally.

[Lie] - CP...

[CP] - Feeling any better?

[Lie] - I don't know...

[Doc] So, crisis averted? For now?

[Dawn] Can I go back to bed please?

[Lie] - Sorry for causing you to come out here Dawn...

[Dawn] Gives a small wave- I just had a long day... and I did a house cleansing for a friend of a friend the night before.

[Lie] - Do you wanna just take a bed here for now?

[CP] Tosses Blake some food-

[Dawn] Yeah... I guess... Can you call Mort so he doesn't worry?

[Doc] I'll take care of it-

[Blake] nom nom nom

[Lie] - CP, shirt

[CP] - After I feed your animals for the night

-When morning comes, Lie is moving about trying to make breakfast. She's already forgotten the eggs-

[Dawn] Wakes up with a long shuddering gasp that sounds like a mummy arising from the dead.

[Karla] Is still asleep. Or so she seems to be... she might just be thinking with her eyes closed.

[Blake] Growls at Dawn-

[Lie] - Knock it off Blake, that's not nice

[CP] Comes down into the workroom with CN following-

-Hope and AVulpix are curled up at Dawn's feet, RVulpix is hunkered down by Lie's feet-

[Dawn] Gives him a pitying look- He can be angry. I won't deny him that.

[CP] Looks in the furnaces- Lie? What are you making?

[Lie] - Bacon and eggs

[CP] - ... Then why is there chicken in the furnace?

[Dawn] Umm... maybe I should help.

[Blake] Will absolutely eat the chicken and gives Cp a hopeful look-

[Lie] Becomes flushed in embarrassment- I put that in there a couple days ago...

[CP] Sighs, pulls it out and tosses it to Blake-

[Blake] Excited woof and messy devouring.

[Karla] Wakes because of the grisly sound. - Guten morgan...

[Dawn] Annoyed look-

[Lie] - Morning Karla

[Hope] Is considering trying to sneak a piece of chicken from Blake-

[Blake] Has made such a mess Hope could just pick it up off the floor. If it was blood, it might look like something else....

[CP] Is looking for the actual bacon and eggs-

[Lie] Looks at CN- Feeling any better?

[CN] - I'm still coughing a little...

[Dawn] A bit of warm steam might help that.

[Lie] - Good point, maybe you should spend time in the bath house today CN

[CN] - But I can only use the cold tub

[Hope] Grabs a little of the chicken-

[Dawn] But you can sit next to it. You just need the steam.

[Karla] Decides to help Cp-

[CN] - Okay

[CP] - Damn, need to run out to the chicken coop real quick...

[Karla] Has found the potatoes -

[RVulpix] Sneaks over towards AVulpix to share in their stolen spoils-

[CP] - Lie? Stay.

[Lie] - I'm not a dog!

[CP] - No but you currently like wandering, I'll be right back

[Dawn] I'll keep an eye on her.

[Lie] Huffs a little-

[Karla] It's adorable how worried he is.

[Dawn] You would think that.

[Lie] - It is different for him, usually I'm the one running around getting the food ready. He doesn't have that much experience at it

[Karla] Shrugs- He's not a child. You could teach him.

[Dawn] Grinds her teeth saying it - She's kinda right. You'll need the help later on. You think this kid is draining you now, it's nothing compared to once they come out.

[Lie] - Ironically, once the kid comes out CP will actually have more experience than me. He raised Stevie, but it was during a time when the game was far simpler. By the way Dawn, are you okay? You sounded a bit weird when you woke up...

[Dawn] Colors a little - It's... it's always like that. I'm - She flicks her eyes at Karla, unwilling to discuss it in front of her- I'm resetting.

[Karla] Unpleasant grin- Ah, don't wish to give up your secrets so easily, is that it?

[Lie] - Says the one prodding at the secrets to becoming digital

[Karla] I'll take any advantage I can get.

[Dawn] YOU'RE WHAT?!? That was not part of the deal!

[Karla] Only because you didn't know it was possible.

[Dawn] Fuming-

[Lie] - Deal?

[Dawn] It's the only reason she's still standing here!

[Karla] Mean laugh-

[Lie] - Okay?

[CP] Comes back with a few stacks of eggs- I think a couple chickens got out again

[Dawn] She's supposed to guard that damn tree and stay out of trouble! If Ever hadn't vouched for her-

[Karla] Looms over her- You'd what? Do it yourself? Make him do it? I don't think so.

[Lie] - Well, I mean... The tree is safe here?

[CP] - I think I missed something...

[Dawn] It's bad enough she's on the internet! Who knows how much damage she could cause if she could just go anywhere in an instant?!

[Karla] Wider grin- How much indeed? How many locked door murders....

[CP] - Murder does sound good right now...

[Lie] - CP no!

[Karla] See? He understands.

[Dawn] THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY.

[CP] - Murdering that town was fun...

[Lie] Groans in annoyance-

[CN] - Are you sure we can't kick him out?

[Lie] - Be nice CN

[Karla] It was.

[Dawn] YOU WHAT?!?!

[Lie] - These two had fun... Admittedly the house had just been destroyed...

[Dawn] I... I'm going outside before I say something lethal. - stalks out into the yard-

[Karla] The really funny thing is that she means that literally. Such power...

[Lie] - We've seen...

[CP] - Lie... Where do we store the spare eggs?

[Lie] - Food chest in the main room

[CP] - Why all the way up there?

[Lie] - Closer to the bedroom?

[Karla] No luck in shaking down the chickens Cp?

[CP] - Too much luck- He rolls out a bunch of eggs onto the trunk in front of him

[Karla] Those are some very productive chickens.

[Lie] - They lay a few eggs every day, if you just throw the egg you have a chance of a chick popping out

[Dawn] Comes back inside, looking slightly calmer-

[Karla] Lobs an egg at her and the chick pops out as it hits her chest.

[Dawn] Immediately turns bright red in the face and storms out again.

[Chick] Running in circles on the floor.

[Lie] - Karla!

[CP] - I'll go find some seeds- Heads upstairs

[Chick] Follows Cp because he said 'seeds'-

[Karla] What? It was funny.

[Lie] - Did you have to throw it at Dawn though?

[Karla] shrugs- You have plenty of eggs. And she needs to lighten up anyway. She's like a hermit with no sense of humor.

[Lie] Just sighs-

[CP] Walks past again leading the chick out to go throw it in the chicken coop- I see you trying to sneak Blake, no

[Chick] Falls down the hole into Cp's private space instead.

[Blake] Barks down the hole-

[CP] - Oh for fucks sake!

[Lie] Checks on the food- Well at least breakfast smells good

[Karla] Is just laughing now-

[CP] Goes down and just grabs the chick in his hands before carrying it outside-

[Chick] Lots of peeping.

[Blake] Looks disappointed because he wanted to play some more.

[Dawn] Stops pacing to look at Cp, one of her eyes is weirdly cloudy and dark-

[CP] Cocks a brow- Careful, your eye is starting to look like a NOTCH'S

[Dawn] Blinks it away hurriedly. - She just makes me so mad... that woman is a born griefer. Makes me feel like I shouldn't have let her go.

[CP] - Well she is on a server for griefers...

[Dawn] She's a terrible person. I know you probably think she's fun because she aggravates people, but... honestly. She has this evil about her. It's a feeling I've only encountered a few times.

[CP] - You think everyone here hasn't encountered such things? I probably lived amongst it

[Dawn] It's not the same. The closest I've felt recently... was Slender.

[CP] - I think the thing that snuck onto the server has him beat

[Dawn] Huffs a little- It's partly her attitude. And currently I'm not picking up on anything different then the last time I was here.

[CP] - Weird... The servers can't find anything either. And, at least to me, Karla is less annoying than Doc

[Dawn] That's because you're a cat. Doc chases after you because they want to be your friend. Karla just sits still and you get closer because you're curious.

[CP] Growls a little, not liking being called a cat-

[Dawn] It wasn't meant as an insult.

[Winston] Is starting to make the morning rounds to check on everyone-

[CP] - Still doesn't mean that I like it

[Dawn] Eyes immediatly drawn to the skeleton. - Friend of yours?

[Chick] peep?

[CP] - My top general- Heads for the chicken coop

[Dawn] Ah. And the spider person sneaking up on him?

[CP] - That would be Chester

[Chester] Uses his new height to put a small black hat on Winston and hop onto the roof of the house before he can react. It's knitted decently well and only slightly lopsided.

[Winston] Takes it off with a slight shake of his head- Good morning Chester

[Chester] Working on my knitting, what do you think? It matches your gray.

[Dawn] Well he seems friendly enough.

[Winston] - It is decently made, but I have no use for it

[CP] - He's completely smitten with his mate- Throws the chick into the coop

[Dawn] Is calming talking about something happy.

[Chester] Oh, okay. Hey... new person??? - scuttles straight down the wall and comes over. - Good morning sir!

[CP] - Morning Chester, is everything alright in the nest?

[Chester] It's wonderful. All cozy and warm. I still think we should get a couch for some color, but Eliza said no.

[CP] - Probably for the best, by the way, this is Dawn, a friend of Doc's

[Dawn] Nice to meet you Chester.

[Chester] Did you come to help with the baby like the other lady?

[Dawn] More or less. My witchery does include some midwife skills.

[Chester] You're a witch miss?

[Dawn] Yes.

[Chester] Eyes flick to Cp to see if he's being rude- but.. you're not green.

[CP] - Wouldn't the baby just pop into existence like it did for Aven?

[Dawn] Slightly annoyed. - Human witches aren't green. That's offensive.

[Chester] Sorry!

[Dawn] And we don't know that. Aven is a different type of entity then Lie is.

[CP] - True, and Lie was human more recently than Aven... But isn't the human method of birth painful?

[Dawn] Extremely painful. There will be blood, and it's not unusual for women to soil themselves as well. They're not only giving birth, but also having the inner lining of an organ slough off and be pushed out. She'll scream, and probably say some rather colorful things to you that she won't mean.

[Chester] Looks extremely freaked out- My gods! Poor Lie!

[CP] - So go out and get her some really strong meds?

[Dawn] That's not safe for the baby, or her really. If she passed out while the baby wasn't fully out, it could strangle or worse.

[CP] - I'd rather she not be in pain! But... I don't want my daughter in harms way either...

[Dawn] No one wants her to hurt, but that's part of having a baby. It's a huge commitment.

[CP] Just isn't sure what to think now-

[Chester] Isn't there any way to make it easier???

[Dawn] Well... there is one old trick that might reduce the stress a bit.

[CP] - Which would be?

[Dawn] It's pretty simple really. You give birth in a water tub. The warm water helps ease the mothers muscles to get the baby out with less tearing and the baby is already in fluid inside her, so it's less traumatic for the little one too.

[CP] - But doesn't the baby need to breathe!?

[Dawn] Like I said, it's already in fluid. Babies don't take a breath until they hit air. You just can't cut the cord until you lift them out of the water.

[CP] - ... Cord?

[Dawn] Yeah. That's how she's feeding the baby. It's connected to a little cord that pumps food in and waste out.

[Chester] That's so weird...

[CP] - But... Then where does everything go?

[Dawn] Same place it goes for Lie? The baby is getting a percentage of what she eats and making a contribution to whatever waste she makes as well.

[CP] - Well then it's getting a lot of cheese

[Dawn] -shrugs- I think the variety of food is less important here then irl.

[CP] - Yeah, but it's what Lie's been craving

[Dawn] Pregnant women usually have weird cravings. There's no real pattern to it.

[CP] - It will be a bit funny to see how she reacts to the cheese once she's given birth, she hated it before the pregnancy

[Dawn] And she may hate it again, if only because she's made herself sick of it.

[Chester] snickers- then Cp will feel lucky because he won't have to keep going out to get more of it.

[CP] - I think TLOT and Doc will be more relieved than me

- Earlier that morning- [Doc] Is woken up by the same ruckus that's caused hir to lose sleep three times that week already. With a resigned groan Xe gets out of bed. They scrawl a quick note for Deerheart and slip off the server.-

[Deer] Is curled up in the bed not wanting to get up quite yet-

[Doc] Comes back in and notices her sleeping. They tuck the blankets around her and make an attempt to sneak out of the room that is utterly foiled by them bumping into LH sleeping on the stairs-

[LH] MOW!

[Deer] - Love, come back to bed...

[Doc] Oh, you're awake. Sorry. I just needed to take care of something.

[Deer] Sits up a little- What was it?

[Doc] I traded the Goomy. It wasn't happy and I was sick of being woke up by it trying to fight everything.

[Deer] - I see... Well, at least whoever it's new trainer is will have a good pokemon. Did you get anything in return?

[Doc] Actually yes. I found something you might like. - They take out a little pokeball and and open it near the bed.

-The creature that emerges looks right at home in their resolution. It almost looks like a childs toy duck. It's rosy pink and blue and blinks white octagon eyes at Deerheart.

[Doc] It's called a Porygon, it's an artifical pokemon.

[Porygon] Does a weird scooting roll on the covers and makes a small electrical sound-

[Deer] - How interesting, well, we have to at least make sure it gets settled in properly here

[Doc] Apparently they were made specifically to travel in cyberspace. So if you work with it, it may be a quick way through the void if you need to go somewhere. They're also genderless. It's old tech for even the Pokemon games. They don't breathe, or eat, but they will take food if you offer.

[Porygon] Scoots over to Deerheart and bumps her hand with it's wedge beak like a curious bird.

[Deer] - Good to know, welcome to the family Porygon

[Porygon] Beep?

[Doc] Gives it a pat on the head.

[Porygon] happy noise-

[Deer] - Well, since we're up, why don't we get some breakfast

The Outer Rim

Arbiflux

Tarn’s Family farm

1000 hrs

Coming into land on Arbiflux Tarn had two options, one to land at the sector space port, but it was nothing more than a concrete slab sitting in the middle of a grass field, no tower, no controller and 50 kilometers from his family farm. For that reason Dorman choose to land on his family’s property. His family owned about 130 square kilometers of farmland, a small estate consisting of the Farm house, a bunkhouse, a garage and several storage sheds all arranged in a loose rectangle. Dorman landed his X-wing where his right S-foil was three meters from the outer edge of this rectangle. As he climbed out his Ma and Da were standing just beyond the gate that separated the farmland from the estate. Climbing down from his X-Wing Yarn’s little black book weighed him down like a tombstone stuffed in his pocket. Reaching the ground, his Ma and Pa opened the gate and hugged him.

“We heard about the Hosian system and we feared the worst, are you ok?” His Ma asked

“Yeah, I’m alright I’m alive” Dorman said reassuring himself.

“And how’s Yarn Ma Tarn said

“Uh Ma um that’s why I’m here..” Dorman said, his voice trailing off.

“Please don’t say……” Pa Tarn said

Dorman didn't say a word, he just shook his head and cried.

“Come in son, your brothers and sister should be coming back any time now, then we will head over to the Belmic’s” Pa Tarn said, putting his arm around his son and escorting him inside the home. As they entered Dorman controlled his tears and sat at the kitchen counter. When his Ma filled a cup and placed it in front of it, he took it and took a long drink.

“Jawa Juice, just the way you like it” His Ma said

“Ah Thanks Ma” He said finally composing himself

“I bet the Military life doesn't make a cup of Jawa Juice as good as your mother’s” Pa said

“No, no they don’t” Dorman said.

Just then, the front door slid open and Dorman's younger sister Court walked in.

“Hey! I saw the X-Wing out front is Tarn home?” Court said as she walked through the house to the kitchen placing the keys to the family’s speeder in a drawer. “Oh it's just you Dorman, what’s up”

Dorman stood up and went in for a hug “Nice to see you to sis”

Returning the hug, she asked “Where's my boyfriend?”

Dorman said nothing, just hugged her tighter.

“Dorman, where is he?.... is he ok,..... is he alright? Just tell me he’s safe” Court sobbed, shooting off one question after another in response to Dormans continued silence.

“Court, take a seat, I’ll pour you a cup of Jawa Juice” Ma said

Unaided Court took the seat next to Dormans and drank from her cup. A few moments passed in silence as each member of the family sipped the drinks processing their grief. The sound of a speeder’s repulsar hummed in the distance steadily growing louder.

“That must be your brother’s” Ma said

“Did they tell you that they have farms and families of their own now? Mel married the Oldest Kalven girl and has about 30 acres. Delvin has two kids and 40 acres and Robert just finished his apprenticeship with Doc Teyrmin and now has his own office and who is he Courting?” Pa asked

“The, ummm Adams Girl, the third one I think?” Ma said

Just then the Door Opened and the three brother walked in and seeing the sad faces and half empty jug of Jawa Juice

Mel said jokingly “Who died?”

It took Pa moment to huddle up his three clueless sons and in a hushed tone explain to them the situation. Mel apologise, and each brother took their turn hugging Court and Dorman.

“We're going to head to the Belmic’s to break the news, do you guys want to come with?” Pa said. Mel, Delvin and Robert glanced down then Delvin said trying to cheer up the mournful faces.

“We’ll wait here and prepare a lunch on top of the hill, we can celebrate his life the way he would want us to, we’ll bring our families and have a good ole time”

“Let me grab a shower and get out of this stinky flight suit,” Dorman said.

“Yeah sure I’ll warm up the speeder” Pa said.

Dorman blankly gazed off in the horizon zipping past grain fields until they arrived at the Belmic Family Farm. He rubbed the cloth on the chair in front of him desperately trying to dry his palms. As the speeder winded down Court, Ma and Pa all climbed out and approached the front door in his sharp dress uniform and that little black book in his right hand.

“Hey Traya,” Mrs. Belmic said, opening the door, then she noticed Dorman’s dress uniform and she said “Dorman! It's so nice to you again, How’s my son?”

Dorman cleared his throat, “Mrs. Belmic, that is why we are here, can we come inside.”

“Of Course, Is Yarn ok?” Mrs. Belmic said suspiciously opening the door for all the Tarns. “Kits in the kitchen, making some lunch”

“Can we speak to your entire family?” Dorman said

“Yeah sure thing! Kit! Call the kids!” Mrs. Belmic said

“Ok?” Kit Belmic said drying his hands and grabbing his comm link.

A few moments later Mr and Mrs Belmic were sitting in the living room surrounded by four kids aging from 8 to 17. Clearing his throat Dorman stood up reading the concern on the faces of every person in the room.

“On behalf of the New Republic, I extend my apologies for the loss of your son, he died in the line of duty, protecting the people and interests of the New Republic he died on ------ of the ------ ABY at approximately 0740 hours. He fell in the remains of the Hosnian System, protecting Raysho Station.” Dorman recitied. To occupy the time in hyperspace he read and reread Yarn’s little blackbook and on the front cover sat the official New Republic condolence letter.

“Were, were you with him when he---” Mrs Belmic said wiping tears from her eyes and clutching Mr. Belmic

Dorman’s crestfallen face fell even more. “yes, yes, I was”

“Did you hear his last words, What were they” Mrs. Blemic asked

Replaying the moment in his head, the TIE Fighters Opening fire Yarn screaming his name as his X-Wing burst into a short lived fireball disintegrating his body

“Yes….he said, tell my family not to be sad, for I die for a worthy cause” Dorman lied.

“Thank you, Dorman” Mrs. Belmic said grabbing Dormans hand and squeezed it.

“I know you need time to process this so let me know if there is anything I can do for you.” Ma Tarn asked

“Ummm thank you Traya, I will” Mrs Belmic said blankly nestling up against her husband “we knew the risks Kit we knew the risks but we let him go anyway, why did we let him go!?”

“Because, he made his own decision and he knew that he might have to lay down his life to protect the Republic.”

“I don’t know what it feels like to lose a son and I don’t want to try, but we are organizing a little get together, just your family and ours, around noon, and let us honor Yarn’s last request, it's what he would want” Mrs. Tarn said timidly

“Thank you, Traya, we will be there, we might be late, but we will be there,” Mr. Belmic said, gathering his children around his feet and his wife in his arms.

“Every Service man carries a little black book with them, this contains their last Will and Testament, I wanted you all here because every one he made an entry for is in this room.” Dorman said, handing over Yarn’s little black book.

“Thank you Dorman,” Mr. Belmic said standing up and accepting the book “now if you excuse us, we have prepare for your get together.”

“We understand Kit” Mr. Tarn said standing up marking the end of conversation, hugs and condolences were traded Mrs. Tarn was the last one out the door giving Mrs. Belmic one final hug.

When Court, Ma, Pa and Dorman returned back to the family farm, the house was bustling more than usual, with two kids running around and playing around Dorman’s X-Wing. As the speeder came to a halt kids disengaged themselves from their game of Rebels and Imperials and ran over shouting

“Uncle Pilot! Uncle Pilot!”

Lifting the black feeling his heart held, the children lighten his mood as he swooped down and lifted the oldest child up!

“Hey!!, I forgot your name,” Dorman said, setting him down in line, “lets see, your Ich” he joked pointing at the oldest kid aged about eight.

“No!” he said in a way only a kid can say “I’m Kip, that's Ich” he said pointing out the youngest kid around four.

“Wow! Are you sure? Because last time I saw Kip, I could do this!” Dorman said, tickling Kip to the point where the eight year old almost wetted his pants.

“Ok, Ok Gr ma walking through watch out” Dorman’s Ma said sliding through the tickle torture. Just then Delvin’s wife Trina walked out and said to the kids

“Alright kids, let's get ready to go to the hill!, Doorman! Are you hurting my child” She accused playfully

“No more than he deserves Trina!” Dorman said matching his tone to hers, this time not faking any tone but dread. “Where’s Mel and Cali?”

“There already up at the hill setting things up” Trina replied sleeping Ich’s arm through his jacket sleeve and buttoning it up.

“What can we do to help Trina” Ma asked

“Well Mel and Delvin forgot to bring up the desert and the roast Iggunt” Trina said multitasking as she put on shoes and tied knots.

“Yeah, Pa can grab that, Court can you help your Dad?” Ma said, walking over to Trina and helped her with getting the kids ready.

The Hill was like the name implied a hill sitting out of the Tarn’s homestead rising a solid 20 meters from the surrounding land, it offers the best view of the mountains on one side and the small city of Maldoca where the family did most of their business. On the crest of the hill sat a large picnic table built by the Tarn and Belmic families as they sat on that hill for many hours when Dorman and Yarn were little kids. Sitting around the table was the little Tarn clan, Ma was moving around the table filling every slightly empty cup full of her sector wide famous Jawa Juice, Pa, Mel, Delvin and Dorman were sitting on one side catching up, On the other side, Cali (Mel’s wife) and Trina (Delvin’s wife) were talking with Court about whatever inlaw’s talk about during family gatherings. Kip and Ich ran around the table sometimes eating and sometime chasing each other around. Robert and his Girlfriend Amildal Adams were laying on the slope talking cute Kip ran up to within earshot of them, made a face and ran back to his uncle “pilot” saying

“Uncle Pilot, Uncle Pilot, why don’t you talk like uncle Robert?”

“Well I just haven’t found someone special like your uncle Rober has” Dorman said

“Well they're talking about gross stuff, is that what you talk to your crush about?” Kip said

Dorman looked up to his 2nd oldest brother who made a face communicating his reluctance to answer that question, “Umm go ask your Mother about that” Dorman said before he refocused on the conversation that centered around the attack on the Hosnian System and the surrounding rumors.

“I heard the New Republic has fallen and is no more” Mel the oldest brother said

Pa uncharacteristically broke his silence and said “Rip from the city, we sell about 30 kilos of grain to him yearly said that the New Republic is a lost cause, as there is going to be some new Galactic Alliance to address the First Order Threat.”

“Pa, I find that hard to believe because who would dare oppose the First Order with the power they have” Mel said gently

“I have three Star Cruisers and a shipyard of people who do” Dorman said

“Well, yeah but like on a planetary level, I heard on the holonet the Coursant, Naboo, Ord Mantell, Corellia and Ringo Vinda have already joined the First Order.” Mel said

“You can’t trust everything you hear on the holo news” Delvin said scoffing “I think only half of those systems have even made a decision, but maybe we might put some of these rumors to rest, Dorman, what do you know?”

“Well I’m not privy to the senior staff meetings but this is what I know. The entire Hosnian System, has been destroyed, and if anyone believes that New Republics is defeated, well lets just say that I’m pretty sure that Admiral Thadmin has a few surprises up his sleeve.”

“Ah the New Republic is lost, with our Capital destroyed, what can they do?” Mel said. By this time Robert and Amildal walked over hand in hand and joined their conversation.

“What are we talking about” Robert asked

“The New Republic and First Order” Delvin answers

“Oooooo, I heard that within the first twenty four hours of the Hosnian System attack if not all but most of the Planets have withdrawn their allegiance.” Robert said

“I only have one question, will there be a war?” Pa asked

“No!” Mel said

“Maybe” Delvin said “It depends if other Star Systems can rally and provide a sufficient counterattack”

“Jyn Erso once said during the First Death Star Crisis, it’s not about what chance we have, but what choice we have,” Amildal

“Well said,” Robert said with a wink.

“Yes!, there will be a War, scratch that, WE. ARE. AT. WAR. ” Dorman said “and I will be on the front line” he continued feeling a bit heated “they just murdered my best friend, when he did not even pose a threat, and someones got to stop them.” as he finished all the family sitting at the table stared at him in awe of his resolve, the silence hung like a curtain until his Ma walked over to him and gave him a well needed hug but then the conversation turned to interior politics and what the planetary governor will do Dorman lost interest at this point, and focused more on the melon type fruit on his plate, but his concentration was interrupted as his comm link beeped. He looked down and picked it up, as he looked up every adult stared at him knowing that this was a professional call.

“Ensing Tarn?, This is Sub Lieutenant Harlow of the Ranger” The female voice said

“Yes Sub Lieutenant, this is Ensign Tarn” Dorman said

“Commander Mauz regrets cutting you leave short but you are needed back at Raysho station ASAP” L.t Harlow said

“Understood, L.t, I will leave within the hour, and will be arriving, tomorrow at 1400 hours” Dorman said checking his wrist crono

“The sooner the better Ensign” L.T Harlow said

“Yes Ma’am, and if you can pass on the message to the CAG that he was right.” Dorman said

“I will Ensign,” Lt. Harlow said.

Dorman looked up and all eyes were on him.

The silence was broken when Mel said

“Ok, I’m just saying what we were all thinking; she sounded hot”, that earned him a punch in the shoulder by his wife.

“Well, you're not wrong Mel, but she married, so that's a no go.” Dorman said but then his voice darken as he said “I wish I could stay but I have to go,”

“I know son, but I..I...I don’t, I don’t want this to be the last time I see-” Ma stutterd

“Don’t worry Ma, I will return home even if I have to win the war single handedly, I will return home” Dorman said

“You do that” Ma said, wiping tears from her eyes. Then came the time everyone dreaded; the Goodbye hugs. Dorman stood up with everyone else and he first hugged Mel, and Delvin, he then turned around and hugged Cali Trina. Next Dorman stooped down and caught his nephews and they ran and gave him a kiddy hug. He then stood up at turned to Robert who said

“Woah, Woah, Woah, calm down there Mr, huggy Amildal and I will drive you to your X-Wing. Dorman smiled and withdrew his hands and went up to his Pa, and threw his arms around him and hugged him tight, just as Dorman thought his day would never let go, his grip slackened. He then looked toward his younger sister and gave her a side hug and nested his head against hers. Then came the moment he dreaded, he look at his Ma and immediately the tears started streaming, but he walked up anyway and wrapped his arms around her and rocked back and forth,

“I will come back Ma, I promise” he whisper resting his head on his Ma’s shoulder. They held each other for a few more moments then they release and Dorman in his crisp formal uniform turned about faced and march down to where Roberts speeder waited. Robert, Amildal and Dorman climbed in and zoomed off. As they hit cruiser speed, Robert turned toward Dorman,

“I’m joining” he said

“What!?” Dorman said

“The New Republic Navy, I’m joining as a medic” Robert clarified

“what , what, what about Amildal?” He stammered

“He already talked it over with me, I’m joining to, as a medic as well we know the risk, but people need help, and your brother and I have been trained as doctors, we have taken an oath to help those who need help, and we will help those who will fight oppression now matter the cost” Amildal said

“O.k have you?” Dorman said before being cut off

“Finished the paper work? Yep our shuttle is arriving at 1800 hours the day after tomorrow. I have now told Me yet but I will eventually”

“Well the New Republic could use you, we are going to need medics and pilots alike” Dorman said ominously

“Well here you are” Dorman said pulling up to Dorman’s X-Wing

“Yeah, let me go inside, grab my stuff and change into my flight suit.” Dorman said

“Sure thing brother we’ll wait here and see you off.”

A Few moments later Dorman stepped out of the main house in his orange flight suit and he stored his bag in the nose storage compartment. Then he face his brother, “You know you have always been my favorite.”

“I know,” Robert said confidently “before you go let's take a holophoto.

“Oh come on, I need to go!” Dorman said rushed

“I know, I know but it will only take a moment” Robert said pulling out his holo cam recorder and setting it the the proper mode and setting it to the approtate height. He then pulled his arm around his brother and the other around Amildal. Dorman let a genuine smile across his face, with his X-wing standing behind him, his brother next to him, and his brother's girlfriend who was always looking out for him and his family.

“I’ll send it to you, now get going” Robert said

Dorman climbed in his X-wing and completed his preflight check started up his repulsor engines until he was a few meter off the ground then he gently applied power his sublight engines and took off, before he left the atmosphere, his data pad buzzed and he pulled it out, it was the holo photo his brother took. With the picture still on it, he placed his datapad in the right corner of his cockpit, he glanced at it then layed in a course to the Raysho station and engaged his hyper drive.

Cars 3 Review (Spoilers)

2 Weeks after seeing the film I finally post a review...XD

Heads up, spoilers in case you haven't seen the movie. ;) The start of the movie brought me right back to the first one, absolutely loved it. Having Doc being mentioned practically first thing I could tell right away that he was going play a huge role in this movie. The intro really felt exciting and nostalgic at the same time, especially with the music. I felt like they rushed the beginning a little with Lightning having friends on the racetrack like Cal and Bobby, I feel like they could've been fleshed out a bit more. Also I feel like Jackson Storm's introduction was a bit unrealistic, like why would only at the end of the race would he notice that there was a new rookie racing with him? I get what the writers were trying to do, and I get why it would make for a good introduction to his character, Jackson is basically an unexpected character to appear in Lightning's life, taking the race by storm as you would say...XD But from a literal stand point, Lightning should've known about Jackson prior to the race...then again Lightning was always in the front...and Jackson didn't decide to be up the front till the very end so...make sense I guess. When it comes towards the crash scene (and I really hate that I saw this part back in January...cuz as soon as I saw it on screen I knew what was coming), I could definitely tell that this was reality and not a dream as many had speculated in the trailers. The music here is just so emotional, especially after Jackson Storm takes back the lead and Lightning fights back and I could really feel his pain. And when I saw the reaction on Sally's face...I was practically in tears (though for some reason I just can't seem to cry in public so I actually didn't, but mentally I was breaking down). I just love how there is nothing but silence as the crash takes place, the movie really wants to hear every scrape, every smash and every hit that Lightning makes before he tumbles to a stop. It was truly a shocking scene, I really wanted to see some sort of hospital scene, but I was disappointed to see it skip 4 months, it would've been real nice to see Lightning in hospital, everyone around him and all. I feel like the writers would've included it if they had more time for it but I guess they didn't, oh well... So they skipped 4 months, a bit of a bummer there. Nice to see Radiator Springs again...then we move to Lightning painted in nothing but primer and a 95 on his sides, this scene I could just tell how down and depressed Lightning was. I really like that about Pixar films, they make the emotions so realistic I just love it. Anyways, the flashback scene here from the first movie really got me, it just really makes you think how much time has passed from when Lightning crashed into town and then in that part of the movie he had just been in a crash and was now trying to mentally recover from it. When Sally came into the scene, I just knew I was going to love what was going to happen because I love these two together, and I loved already how much attention Sally is getting so far. Sally helping Lightning get his motivation back was a great idea, it just felt kinda rushed that with only two weeks left until the next racing season starts...and Lightning's spent 4 months doing nothing but stay in Doc's garage...that Sally could've encouraged him a lot sooner, unless she did behind the scenes but we'll never know I guess. Also I just loved it when Sally called him Stinky instead of Stickers, and I'm really loving what a character Sally is becoming, more witty but still as confident and self motivated as she was in the first film. It is also in this scene where we're introduced to Mater outside of the races (the same went for Sally, but I'm talking about mainly from the viewpoint of the 2nd movie), it's nice to see that Mater is back as that comedy relief sort of character and not the front stage. Moving ahead a little, I loved how Pixar brought back Rusty and Dusty from the first film (though I am aware one of the brothers has passed...RIP). Things from here really started to speed up, I feel like that with a little more time this section of the movie could've been fleshed out more to provide more of that realistic feel of recovering both physically and mentally from a crash. So far this movie has had so many call backs to the first film it almost seems like a remake of it, especially after seeing a travel montage with Mack and "Kings Highway" playing, truly settling, but it'll never beat "Life is a Highway" for sure. Oh, and my number one scene in this movie so far is when Lightning and Sally say "love you" to each other, aww...^^ And we get to the training sight, man when I first saw it...it was just huge, I didn't even think Rusty and Dusty could make that sort of thing, I knew there was someone behind it other than those two, obviously the silver car from the trailers known as Sterling. At first glance I felt like something would be up with him, and later in the film I was right. But first, when Cruz and Lightning first met, I totally fell for Cruz saying Lightning was a fake, insulting him but I just love how she turned back around, telling him to use that for motivation. The next several scenes I felt like Cruz shouldn't have treated him like he was old and brittle, she had seen him race before, and most definitely in the more recent times leading up to the crash, so shouldn't she understand that he can go a lot faster than that? At the same time this was all after the crash so it was a little understandable that she wanted to take the training slow with him. When I got around to seeing him on the simulator, I just knew this wasn't going to work out, with the confidence Cruz was lacking in him and with Sterling watching I just knew things were going to go wrong...and they did. But I do find it funny when Lightning said. "I have crashed." Lol so funny XD Things get intense after this, I knew Sterling was up for retiring Lightning, just like what happened to Cal and some of the other racers last racing season. All he could see was dollar signs, not a racecar who could keep going, he wanted Lightning to retire so he could start making Lightning a brand. But I love the turnaround Lightning makes here, and I knew within an instant that Cruz was coming with Lightning to train the moment Sterling said he would be taking someone with him. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the good old Mac start up sound with the treadmill, hilarious. I still think Cruz isn't treating Lightning right here, she should know he trained on this sort of terrain before, but I understood why she wanted him on the treadmill, since she wasn't experienced like Lightning was. And then begins the montage of Lightning beginning to train Cruz, I can just see Lightning acting a little like his old self here where all he wants is for his speed to be measured and be on with it, but he had to train Cruz how to drive on sand. And I just love the "crabbies have gone night night" part, so cute! ^^ The Thunder Hollow scene was spectacular, I made sure to look into how realistic the mud look because I knew that the animators had a hard time working with that. When I saw Miss Fritter, I could just see that she was super awesome right away, you could see she's a badass character... XD Anyways, with Lightning and Cruz having no choice but to race, I could see that I was going to be in for one heck of a ride. I was surprised at the end that Cruz actually won the race, and how Lightning and she barely got damaged...other than Lightning losing a wheel (it always seems to be the back ones with this guy huh? XD). But I kinda hate how perfectly timed the next scene was...with Lightning being revealed, the water tank coming to Miss Fritter's aid...passing Lightning at that very moment, with Cruz just narrowly passing the water tank truck at that same time felt all too perfectly timed for me. Anyways, skipping ahead a little, I just loved Lightning's annoyed or "So Done with you" look while Cruz gloated a little about her victory. Then this is where emotions start to kick in, I can really connect with Cruz over this part. Feeling like you didn't belong and decided to back out instead of taking that chance...I could just imagine myself in her spot, there had been so many opportunities I could've taken that could've changed my life but I didn't take them because I was worried I didn't belong there. I could really see how hurt both Lightning and Cruz was in this scene, I could connect with Lightning too, not having realised how much of an impact you have on others until they tell you at their lowest point. It was truly an emotional scene that I'll never forget. With Lightning calling Mater instead of Sally afterwards I felt like it was just a scene the writers put in so Mater would have a bit more screen time, although he had his own movie they needed to acknowledge Lightning's best friend still. And I could see even more of why the writers made Lightning call Mater instead of Sally, I can't totally picture Sally telling him to find Doc's teacher...don't know why I just can't. So the next scene is hilarious with Lightning trying to make it up to Cruz, I felt like I was just laughing in embarrassment and feeling sorry that Cruz had to see that. But seeing Lightning dance to that same training music from earlier was simply priceless...XD Nice to see that Cruz came around and decided to go with Lightning (just so he would stop dancing...XD), I still find it a little rude of how Cruz assumes all old cars (especially for someone like Smokey) to have passed away, man I can't wait for her to meet Lizzie then! XD So anyways, I was surprised at how soon Cruz managed to "turn right to go left", it took Lightning a few days to do, this was literally the day after Cruz was being taught how to do that (sort of), it kinda feels a bit rushed, and it feels a little too coincidental that Lightning and Cruz just happen to find Smokey there at the abandoned race track when they were actually looking for him in the first place, but I love that Smokey's first assumption of why they were there wasn't the actual reason. It was really interesting seeing the other legendary racers like River Scott, Louise "Barnstormer" Nash and Junior "Midnight" Moon and how they reminisce about the good old days when Doc was racing alongside them, and seeing that signature move Doc made was amazing. It was sad for Lightning to assume that racing was the only time Doc was truly happy, but after Smokey showed him the letters from Doc, and seeing him on the wall with Doc...I could truly see just how much Lightning realised how important he was to Doc's life. The flashbacks made it even more memorable, and seeing Doc speaking was even more amazing. Then moving onto the training scene, I just loved Cruz's character here, putting her motivational skills to the test with Lightning, and seeing Lightning going through the struggles of realising he's a slower car now and needs to learn new moves. And when the camera panned to Cruz, I just knew that all these valuable tips were going to be useful to her real soon. With the last bit of training before Lightning leaves to Florida, I could really tell just how torn Lightning felt about himself, this was where he was beginning to process that Cruz could really be a better racer than he is, and how he had to really accept that he couldn't beat everyone anymore. Then we're taken to the Florida 500...damn that race track dome structure looks stunning! It was nice to see Sally come back into the picture, and I just loved her witty talk to him about moving on from him no matter what happened during that race. So cute and hilarious. And then we see Jackson talking like his usual self again, putting others down and bragging about himself, truly a jerk like Sally put it. SO we commence the race, I could just tell something big was going to happen, seeing Smokey coaching Lightning on was a true callback to the first film with Doc, only it didn't have the same amount of excitement as the first one unfortunately. Then this is where things begin to take an unexpected turn, seeing Sterling just labeling Cruz as a trainer and not a racer, it really hits Lightning then and there that Cruz is truly meant to be a racer. I could just see it in his eyes, and when Lightning came to pit, I was not expecting Cruz to be fitted with racing gear so she could race, I was just as shocked as she was. This part was so intense, the music, the arguing just made it feel like that split second decision, and I loved it. So now Cruz is racing, and I felt like from this point on Cruz was going to win, not that I had seen it in spoilers but because it wouldn't seem right if she didn't win...then again now that I really think about it...no, moving on! It didn't feel right with Smokey telling Cruz what to do, I could definitely tell that Lightning was going to be coaching her, and when he did I couldn't be happier, I was truly amazed at how much of a great crew chief Lightning would make. And all in the end this causes Cruz to do the unbelievable move Doc made on his encounter with a rude rookie, in a way I could see it coming, but when the music kicked up as Cruz crossed the finish line first and just how nostalgic it all was from the first film truly made it feel more memorable. ^^ Also it came no surprise to me that Cruz quit Rusteze and raced for Dinoco (if only they could hold out the merchandising...XD), but I was more surprised to see that Lightning did technically win the race too, part of me should've realised that sooner. It was great to see that Lightning wasn't retired, and I was more surprised when Tex actually bought Rusteze. The ending scene was on point, ending where the last two movies ended, with a race around Willy's Butte. Seeing Lightning painted pretty much like Doc was priceless, and that ending music is now my favourite song ever, it is just so awesome! I loved the photograph of Lightning looking a Cruz the same way Doc looked at him when he was younger, it truly shows what you can teach the new generation and what fun you can make out of it. Overall it was a truly amazing movie, however it doesn't top the first movie unfortunately, I don't think any amount of Cars sequels would ever par with the first film, but I will say I enjoyed it far more than I enjoyed Cars 2 (which was barely at all...lol). It taught me that life long lesson that the best part of anyone's life is not when they're in their prime, but when they're watching someone else be in their prime because of their influence, and in the future I hope to do that to the next generation. I hope I make a great impact on the next generation just like Lightning has done with Cruz. Truly a spectacular film. :love: Overall Ratings for each film

Cars: (10/10) Cars 2 (5/10) Cars 3 (8/10)

Knuckles: *walks over to table*...what are we talking about? beaver policeman: Sonic. Knuckles: oh sonic he just left- Chloe: *coughs* knuckles shut up *coughs again* beaver policeman:....well? and just like that sonic came back. Sonic: hey gu- beaver policeman: sonic the hedgehog! your under arrest for stealing the crystal and for the death of doctor EggMan! Sonic: wh--oh crap.

Okay so as we’ve seen the Star Wars fanfic I write really isn’t Star Wars fanfic so much as Star Wars: The Old Republic fanfic, but this one is pretty detached from the events of the game.

Obligatory disclaimer: I did a cursory lookup on canon jawa shit but there is virtually no canon jawa shit so I kinda just rolled with it. And I kinda don’t care very much?

Might be more to it later, but don’t hold your breath.

Sea of Sand, Sea of Stars

When the sand people come, Izo's clan is ready. Ready is practicality. Ready is refurbished blasters with most of a charge and maybe a working rifle if you have one. Ready is lookouts at every corner when the sandcrawler is on the move and twice as many when it's not. Ready is what you have to be when your path through the Dune Sea skirts the sands so close to their territory.

Ready isn't always enough.

Izo wakes to battle, disoriented and annoyed, because his shift isn't for another two hours, and Koti promised not to sneak off early this time. Koti is their best salesman, best liar. Koti even lies to the tribe, and it's made him more than a little unpopular. Koti is his best friend.

Koti's body hits the metal floor in front of Izo's pallet with a dull, wet crunch, hood slouching off his small face. Koti won’t be sneaking off early anymore.

Izo scrambles for his blaster, a shrill howl in his throat (partly anger, mostly terror), and flings himself into the chaos. Almost.

He fires off two shots before retreating. He kneels next to Koti and pulls his hood down to cover his dulled, yellow eyes. His slack, needle-toothed mouth.

It's sentiment.

It saves his life when the half of the sandcrawler behind him explodes.

The sand people come to kill and take what prizes they can. The gamorreans come to pick over what remains. The sands come last to cover it all.

Izo wakes to pigs, grunting and snuffling. Izo wakes to blood-smell and smoke-smell and the start of rot, to searing pain up and down his back. Izo wakes to the beating sun, gleaming through a gaping rent in the sandcrawler’s chassis.

“Anything?”

“Dead jawas. Dead sand people. They messed this up bad.”

Izo hears footsteps over the pain. Close to him. Next to his head. A spear’s butt digs into his gut and shoves.

He squeals. It’s a weak sound, but the gamorrean hears it.

“This one isn’t dead.”

The spear shoves again, and Izo claws at it -- tries to claw at it. His hand twitches weakly, and he makes a small hissing noise. The gamorrean laughs.

“What do we do with it?”

“Dunno. Kill it like the rest?”

“Sell it?” chimes in a third, more distant voice. Its suggestion is met with snorting chuckles.

“Eat it, maybe. Won’t get nothing on market.”

Izo barely has enough spark left in him to care what happens to his body before he returns to the sands, but he does know he wants to return to the sands, not stuff a pig’s fat belly. He squeals again, claws again.

They laugh. They laugh and laugh. They leave.

The one with the spear grabs him by the foot and drags him along with no consensus on his eventual fate.

Izo claws at the scored metal floor until his fingers are too sore to grip. It doesn’t take long. He bumps over broken beams and scattered salvage and his people’s corpses. By the time they reach the gamorreans’ speeder, his eyes have glazed.

They throw him in the back with their third- and fourth-hand loot, and he watches home recede into sand and gently wafting smoke.

Somewhere between the choking ride across the sea of sand and the searing wait outside the cantina, Izo becomes resigned to the fact that he isn’t dying, not yet.

Not dying means thirst. Hunger, too, but thirst comes first, always. He pushes a stubby arm into the loose pile of refuse the gamorreans have left him, pressing his leather-dry tongue against the backs of his teeth.

It takes some shifting -- and a little more movement than his injuries seem to think necessary -- but he finds a faintly sloshing canteen among the salvage. An accidental acquisition, but a lucky one. His people have learned never to question luck.

He drags it to his mouth and tilts it just enough to take long, slow laps of the liquid, enough to wet his tongue. He replaces the cap and lowers it as stumpy gamorrean feet make their way out of the cantina.

The one with the spear prods him, and he growls, waving him off with a flutter of his hand. It’s enough, at least, to convince him that Izo’s still a potential profit. Or meal. Or whatever.

When the speeder’s on its way in a gust of sandy dirt, Izo reaches for the canteen again. He doesn’t drink this time, but wonders. Whose life was he drinking? Which corpse does he owe an apology?

The scent’s too muddled with smoke and pig to tell.

He drinks again, apologizes to his clan in general.

The gamorreans, it turns out, have a dirty little stall in a dirty little market in a dirty little town. A dirty little spaceport is probably included, judging from the number of ships Izo can see flying in and out.

The gamorreans are hawking scrap and, now and then, hawking him. It’s a great joke to them. They snuffle and snort and slap their bellies, and Izo stares at their speeder with his hands in his lap and thinks of ways to disable it.

He’s come up with twenty-seven that would only require him to cut a single wire. Thirty-three that would take two. And one that would require the thermal detonator one of the pigs has on his belt.

None of them are especially likely, as they have him cuffed and chained to the stall. None of them except the one involving the thermal detonator.

He considers it.

But no. Too risky, too messy. Too many potential consequences.

One of the pigs tugs at his chain, pulling him off the ground by his cuffs to display him to a passing rodian. As far as Izo can tell, the rodian doesn’t even look, and he’s dropped like a sack of so much, well, scrap.

He gnaws at his restraints for a moment, venting frustration more than accomplishing anything, and it earns him a kick.

“Those cuffs are worth more than you, desert rat.”

“Pig,” he says in response. “Fat pig, fat stinky pig.”

The gamorrean doesn’t understand him, not in his native dialect, but kicks him again anyway.

It’s hours of this, watching the sun shrink the minimal shade the stall grants him, imagining the speeder exploding in a shower of wire and metal. Jawas’ bodies are more efficient than most at retaining moisture, but he’s parched and hungry and the canteen is nearly empty, hidden under his robes.

It’s hours of being hauled up by his chains and shaken, kicked to make sure he’s still alive, of weakly hissing “pigs” as his eyes begin to glaze. The entirety of his back is a single, dull throb, burn and infection and no shaman to salve it away.

It’s hours before she stops in front of him, staring down with hands on her hips, backlit and glowing.

“How much?” she asks, and the gamorreans snuffle, at first confused as to what she’s attempting to purchase.

“Him,” she clarifies, pointing. “The jawa. He’s for sale, right?”

“Oh! Yes, yes!” It’s the pig with the spear, suddenly bright and cheery. “We’re taking offers.”

“Fifty.”

The gamorrean is, for a moment, taken aback. “One hundred,” he counters, cautious now and frowning. “Took a lot of effort to get him, you know.”

“Please, he’s obviously damaged goods. Try to tell me he wasn’t a lucky find in a wreck.”

Izo stirs, but he hasn’t got enough energy to do more than listen to them bargain down his worth. His fingers clasp loosely at the canteen.

“Seventy-five.” He spreads his fat hands and attempts to put a sympathetic look on his tusked and snouted face. “I can’t go lower, you understand.”

The spear-pig is extra bad at bargaining. Koti would be embarrassed for him.

“Fifty,” she repeats, and Izo feels a pressure against his mind that nearly jolts him from his lassitude. “He’s not worth more than that.”

Her posture hasn’t changed, hands haven’t moved, but the atmosphere shifts, subtle, and the spear-pig goes slowly, oddly slack.

“Fifty,” he agrees. “He’s not worth more than that.”

“Good deal,” she says, and tosses the credits on the rough metal of the stand.

Izo is vaguely aware of being pulled to his feet, of tottering along after her at the end of a length of chain. He’s vaguely aware of falling, of hearing worried noises from his new owner.

“Shit! Crap! Hey -- you all right?”

He tastes dust on his tongue as the light fades.

He wakes up.

At first, that’s surprise enough.

He wakes up in a cool, dim place with a hum of machinery all around him. It’s a soothing lull at first, like home, but that immediately makes it less soothing, because it’s not like home at all.

Home is (home was (home is)) hot and loud with baking metal and the smoky rattle of a jury rigged engine, every thump and clank familiar. The regular pop of Oka’s solution to their overheating problem. The bump in the treads where Ziz replaced one of the slats with scrap from the hood an old speeder.

This hum is like silk -- Izo’s felt silk once, soft and smooth and alien and Koti took it away to make a sale -- and silk is scarier than the banging wheeze when they broke down two miles outside sand people territory.

Izo jolts. His back sets up a howl, but even that is muted and cool, and his hair stands on end under the fabric of his robes. He remembers now. He remembers being bought and walking until he fell and then “oh!” says a voice.

“You’re awake, hey --”

He hisses. His feet push underneath him and his toes dig in, and he sees her.

“Wait,” she says, “I’m not gonna hurt you.”

Even Koti couldn’t have told a bigger lie. His skin prickles, and his hair fluffs, and his body tenses just that little bit more.

“Um,” she says. “Is your back okay? The doc said you’d need the kolto packs changed out at least once --”

She sounds like she means it. She looks like she’s worried. But when she moves to stand up, he’s gone. His body twists, and his feet hit the floor with a metallic thud, propelling him out the door at a frantic, pain-hobbled pace.

“Wait! Aw, come on --”

He hears a gusty sigh and the creak of her weight settling back in the chair before he’s out of earshot in the dim, twisting corridors of the ship.

He gets lost immediately.

He gets lost immediately, but he knows machines -- he knows energy conduits and maintenance corridors and how to follow the pulse of life to its heart.

The ship is so cold.

Not like his sandcrawler. Not like his desert. The rolling dunes flash before his eyes and he stops, curling himself against the wall. He probably won’t see his desert again.

He’ll probably be cold for the rest of his life.

His fingers press into metal and push him away from the wall. He goes deeper into the ship’s bowels.

Truthfully, though, there isn’t much deeper to go. It’s a small ship -- tiny -- a freighter not made to carry much freight, a vessel built to require only a single pilot.

The blast of heat from the engine room is welcome and incongruous -- something’s broken, something’s not quite right -- but for now he doesn’t care. For now he finds the darkest corner of the room and huddles there, eyes fixed on the open doorway.

She finds him, of course, not more than an hour after his flight, and for a minute or two she stands in the arch of the engine room door, pressing the heel of her hand into her eye.

“Hey,” she says, and he watches her, two wide, glowing eyes in a patch of shadow, and she rubs her eye again. Frankly, she looks exhausted.

“Hey,” she says again. “You left this.”

She holds the canteen in her outstretched hand.

“It seemed important to you, so I’m just gonna leave it here.” She gives it a little shake, and he hears a little slosh, then another as she drops into a squat, setting it at the top of the ramp.

She scrubs a hand across the bridge of her nose.

“Look, those bandages need to get changed, so.” She breaks off with a snort and a small laugh. “Yeah, just. Whenever you want that done, let me know, all right?”

She straightens, then, lifting her arms into a long, weary stretch. He hears her back pop once, then again.

“See ya,” she says, tossing an absent wave over her shoulder as she leaves.

He waits until her footsteps have receded, faded, disappeared. Then he waits some more.

Once he’s sure -- not sure sure, but sure enough -- he makes a hurried, limping dash up the ramp and back down and a stumble on the way back to his corner. He clasps the canteen to his chest and slouches, scenting it -- home, smoke, death, pig, and now human -- before he opens it and drinks the rest.

The last of the desert’s milk.

He sings softly afterward. Songs of home, songs of lament. Songs of mourning. His small fingers cap the canteen, and he sings his clan to the long night.

She brings food twice a day for two days, leaves it at the top of the ramp without a word and walks away.

The time he guesses, without the twin suns to tell him day from dark, and on the second he learns that the lone pilot is not so alone on her ship.

A patter of footsteps betrays the others first, then a babble of young voices. Two. Close to his engine room, then closer still.

He hunches, but where is there to run?

But then, her footsteps, clear and crisp -- her voice, sharp and authoritative.

“Micah! Ciera!”

The other two go still all at once.

“What did I tell you? Leave him alone.”

“But I just --” The first, a boy-child, pleading.

“We just wanted to see him.” The second, a girl-child, placating.

A boy-child. A girl-child. Her children. He watches their shadows play against the wall as she catches their shoulders and turns them away from the engine room.

“Too bad.” She starts to march them up the hall. “Leave him alone.”

After a beat, he barely hears, “and I know you two haven’t touched your lessons today,” followed by twin “awwwwww”s in chorus.

On the third day, she stops at the top of the ramp, and she stays.

Rory likes to think she’s patient. Twin children with a firm grasp on the Force’s manifest applications would seem to make it a necessity. But when the third day passes with only the barest sign that her new passenger exists, she decides it’s time to stop hanging around in Tatooine orbit.

She’s barely going to be on time for her next job without another day of giving him space.

So she walks to the engine room with food in one hand and a change of kolto packs in the other, and she squats in the entrance, realizing shortly afterward she hasn’t planned exactly how she’s going to convince the spooky jawa to come out.

She sets the food down and uses that hand to scrub wearily at her face.

“Hey,” she says, for lack of a better beginning. “I brought your dinner.”

She looks at the tray -- it’s the same as ever, dried rations and rehydrated … well, rehydrated something. Typical spacer fare. She’s not sure it’s all that good for him -- what his dietary needs even are -- but she shoves the tray down the ramp and it skids to a halt partway into the room.

The kolto packs she plops on the floor next to her.

“Brought the kolto, too. I really need to look at your injuries, if that’s all right.”

It’s apparently not all right.

The only thing that indicates she’s not talking to empty air is the ball of tension and living energy she can sense behind the pipes in the back right corner.

After a few moments more of silence, she leans back until her weight is resting on her backside instead of her knees and ankles. She stretches her legs out in front of her. Sighs.

“Look,” she says. “I didn’t mean to trap you on my ship. I didn’t even mean to take you offplanet.”

The tension in the corner balls up tighter.

“No, I mean --” She pulls her knees up and rests her arms on them. “I was gonna just let you go. You know, take you to the edge of town. I didn’t know you were in such bad shape, and then, er, I couldn’t just leave you with the medic.”

She also recalls the medic was adamant about not letting her.

“And that still stands,” she adds. “I’ve gotta break orbit today. Appointments to keep. But I can take you back down and get you home to your clan or whatever.”

Silence again. For a moment, she’s sure even that won’t get an answer, but --

“Izo’s clan is dead,” says the corner, more slowly and quietly than she’s ever heard jawa trade language spoken.

He’s edged out from behind the pipes, watching her with glittering, yellow eyes. One small hand grips the nearest of them, nails scratching the metal.

“Izo has no home.”

Izo, she learns shortly, is his name -- Izo of Barren Ridge in the Great Sand Sea -- and between the sand people and the gamorreans, Barren Ridge in the Great Sand Sea is down to a handful of elderly and children, who will likely disperse to other clans the next time they gather.

“I’m sorry,” Rory says around the sudden burning in her throat. His grief is keen and dull at the same time, a wound sealing around the blade that cut him, and she closes off her stretched-out senses, muting the feedback.

Even so, she can find nothing else to say.

“Do you want to go back anyway?” she asks at last.

He hunkers down. His head dips, the edge of his hood drooping over his eyes, and for a moment she’s worried she’s upset him, but a quick brush up against his emotions reveals he’s only thinking. Deeply.

She leaves him to it, tipping her head back to let her own gaze drift ceilingward. It’s quiet for a while, with only the hum and chrr of the engine, low and even. Soothing.

She lets her senses relax, easing them out across the ship. Izo’s still a tight ball of thoughtful energy, and there are Micah and Ciera in their cabin, their thoughts intertwined in the way they have been from birth. They look up at her touch -- ‘look up’ -- and return that mental pressure with a tickle, with a giggle, and she smiles.

Then Izo stirs, and she retreats with a snap, straightening to meet his sudden, intent gaze.

“Izo,” he begins, thoughtful as ever, “does not want to go back.”

“At all?” is her immediate, blank response.

“Not now,” Izo says, one hand reaching up to tug at the top hem of his hood, down and down, but not quite over his eyes. “Izo will miss his desert. But Izo has no home now. Not in the desert. Not here.”

He pauses, fidgeting at his hood again, and Rory gets the sense that he’d be chewing his lip if that were a mannerism his species indulged in.

“Izo does not want to go back. Not now.” He stops, hesitates. “Not yet.” Then, even slower: “But where can he go?”

Rory has an answer to that, and she almost lets it spill out of her mouth without thinking about it, but she bites down on the impulse, relaxing into a cross-legged posture and frowning.

“There’s a whole galaxy of places you can go,” she points out, and the hood wags, caught between a nod and a shake of his head. “But a lot of ‘em aren’t going to treat you a lot better than Tatooine.”

Don’t. Practicality rattles at the back of her mind. Don’t you dare. Cost analysis and rationing and safety concerns join the chorus. Don’t you do it don’t you dare don’t you fucking --

“You could always stay here,” she says, and finds herself without a follow-up.

The hood tilts. Yellow eyes blink.

“I mean --” She squeezes her eyes shut for a moment, sighs. Commits to it. “I get around a lot. You can see plenty of planets, maybe find somewhere you like. Or, whenever you feel like you’re ready … I can take you back to Tatooine.”

He watches her for a moment more. Gauging. Probably frowning.

“Izo can stay,” he says at last.

“Yes.”

“What must Izo pay?”

“Pay?” She drums her fingers against her knees. “Um, nothing?”

The hood waggles adamantly. “Izo will help,” he says. “Izo can fix. Build. Izo will fix your engine.”

“I --” Rory is still fumbling for a response when the small figure finally steps out of the shadows, marching past the food tray to stand in front of her. “Sure,” she says, as his small, paw-like hand extends toward her. “Guess I can use another mechanic.”

She takes his hand, hesitates.

“What’s wrong with my engine?”

There’s no flash of teeth beneath the hood, but she feels him grin anyway, gripping her hand once before turning to go for the food tray.

“Izo will fix,” he says.

“Monster Chow, Legacy of a False NOTCH”

[Sally] Peeks into EJ's room- Doctor!

[Doc] initially questions which Doctor she's referring too, but smiles anyway- Hey Sally! You look well.

[Sally] Giggles and holds her teddy bear out- Can you fix Mr. Charlie?

[Doc] Let me wash my hands, this thing is pretty stinky. - Xe slides over and uses Ej's sink and then holds out hir hands for the bear to examine it. -

[Sally] Gives her teddy to Doc. Trender's stitches from previous repairs aren't even visible except for where this new tear has been made-

[Doc] Ah, well that's easy. Did someone have a little accident? - Xe pulls out a bit of spider silk, it's nearly invisible apart from a slight sheen.

[Sally] - We were playing and he got caught on something...

[Doc] Aww. Well I can fix him right up. - Xe takes out a little needle and mends the tear. - I only show stitches when I want to these days. -winks- Nobody tell Cp.

[EJ] Flips Doc off-

[Slender] Is coming down the hall-

[Doc] Gives the bear an air kiss and passes him back to Sally- Good as new!

[Sally] - Thank you!

[Slender] Looks at Offender and nudges him off the railing-

[Splender] Perks-

[Doc] Hears the wet thud and winces- Am I needed to repair a person now? Or is someone slinging a corpse around?!

[Splender] - Nope! Brother's being playful!- Darts out of the room

[Doc] Why does that scare me...?

[Sally] - Papa's in a good mood!

[Doc] I think I'll put this nastiness away and hopefully keep him that way. - Shoves the open trunk under and against the thing like a dustpan and sucks it inside.

[EJ] Finally speaks once the smell clears- Is there any other reason for you being here?

[Doc] No... I just wanted your opinion.

[EJ] - Then get out

[Sally] - You can come to my room!

[Doc] Give Ej a soft look. - I hope the compass helps you. - Follows Sally.

[Sally] Leads them down the opposite hall from the one Doc normally is taken down to a very bright pink door and pushes it open. The room is filled with stuffed animals and dolls, there's a little pink plastic table with plastic chairs to match and a fake tea set on top of it-

[Doc] Your room is cute. And you have so many plushies! Looks like that big old spider found a nice home.

[Sally] - Uh huh! Do you wanna have a tea party with me?

[Doc] Sure. I might have some leaves left over from breakfast, I wasn't feeling the coffee this morning. Can I have the pot?

[Sally] Gives Doc a confused look-

[Doc] Oh! It's just there. - Looks around to see if there's a place to put some water in it.

[Sally] - I have a bathroom!

[Doc] Okay, - xe puts some water in the pot and turns up hir glitch to make it warm. Xe comes back and sets the pot down before taking out some squared off leaves that crackle a little as they translate to the higher resolution, and putting them in the pot. - Now we just let it sit for a few minutes. - Xe sits down on the floor to be closer to Sally's height

[Sally] Gathers a few stuffed animals to put around the table-

[Doc] Opens the creative and spills out a bunch of sugar blobs into a dish. They crumble into small grains as the reality hits them.

[Sally] - Sugar!

[Doc] Yeah, I love sugar! Though no one loves it as much as my little kiddo Yaunfen.

[Sally] Looks at the plastic pot- Is it ready?

[Doc] Peeks - Yep. - Xe pours a bit and stirs a little sugar in it before waving away the steam and passing it to her. - Just sip, it's still warm.

[Doc] Fixes hir own cup.

[Sally] Takes a sip and makes a face- Ick

[Doc] Not enough sugar? Oh, lets have a little milk too. - Takes a bucket from the creative and dribbles a bit in.

[Sally] Pushes the cup away and shakes her head-

[Doc] Aww.... You won't have just a little with the milk? I'll give you a cookie...

[Sally] - Mmmmmmm

[Doc] Pulls out a rather large cookie with a swirl of pink icing on it. Xe was carrying some for Yaunfen. -

[Sally] Takes another sip and then promptly holds her hand out for the cookie-

[Doc] Eyes on the prize huh? Here you go. - Has another drink of hir own tea.

[Sally] Starts eating the cookie, getting crumbs and frosting all over her face-

[Doc] Chuckles - So who are your friends here? - Gestures at the other stuffed animals around the little table.

[Sally] - There's Mr. Charlie, and Ms. Apples, and... Widemouth!

-A disturbingly grinning gremlin looking thing suddenly springs to life and dashes a little ways off and laughs-

[Sally] - Get out Widemouth!

[Doc] Is very startled - Yikes!

[Widemouth] Darts out of the room and Sally sits down with a huff-

[Doc] Good grief... - Holds the cup a little tighter and pours it full before taking a long warm drink. - That was disturbing...

[Sally] - I don't like him...

[Doc] I don't like anyone who hides in my room just to jump out. I don't blame you at all.

[Sally] - He kills children...- Her colors are starting to dull a little

[Doc] I'm suprised Slender doesn't kick his rear for coming within ten feet of you.

[Sally] - He knows better than to do anything to me...- A small trickle of blood makes it's way down the front of Sally's face

[Doc] Pulls out a bit of wool and holds it out for her- Now, now, don't get upset. You're okay.

[Sally] Sniffles a little- Everyone is leaving... And I don't get to have my tea parties that often!

[Doc] You can always come visit!

[Sally] - But I don't know how...

[Doc] You just have to ask. I can get in and out with better fidelity then I used too, and Cp can always pick you up. Slender just has to let us know.

[Sally] - Papa does?

[Doc] Well, yeah. I normally tell people to email me, but I know your dad tends to ruin computers.

[Sally] Nods-

[Doc] So don't be sad. You can come visit whenever you want. If your dad says it's okay, of course.

[Sally] - Okay!- The blood begins to stop

[Doc] Dabs at her head with the cloth - There you go. Actually, you should visit just to see LJ's circus. He fixed everything up like new.

[Sally] - But it was fun as it was

[Doc] Esh... well the other kids weren't having fun like that. And now all the rides and stuff actually work.

[Sally] - They do?

[Doc] Yeah. He and my friend Herabrine worked really hard on all of it.

[Sally] - Okay... Papa usually doesn't play long with his siblings, so they should be about done

[Doc] Shudders a little at what Slender's idea of playing might entail.

-There's a knock on the door-

[Doc] In here?

[Splender] Opens the door, his clothes a bit ruffled- Ah, there you are

[Doc] I was just playing with Sally. Apparently she doesn't like tea. - Looks a tad confused-

[Splender] - Oh! I'll explain later. Are you ready to go?

[Doc] Nods slightly to not offend.

[Splender] - Alright, let's go then!

[Sally] - Splender! What about me!?

[Splender] - Oh Sally, I'll come visit as soon as I can, I promise

[Doc] She wants to come visit us soon.

[Splender] - Oh that sounds like a wonderful idea! But maybe we should wait until Pinwheels a bit bigger and not as bitey...

[Doc] Your call. - Stays close to Splender

[Splender] Leads them out and Offender is happily flopped in the hallway-

[Doc] Steps gingerly over him- Are you.. okay?

[Offender] Grins- Haven't played like that in awhile

[Doc] Ah, okay. It's nice to clear the air occasionally.

[Splender] - Come on, I'll make the way back- His tendrils swirl and soon the server is visible

[Doc] Scoots inside and takes a grateful breath of clean air as hir resolution goes back down.

[Splender] - I... Should go check on Pinwheel

[Deer] - Welcome back love, did you find a solution?

[Doc] Yes and no... Splender knows what Basils prey should look like, but all I have is partial corpse that's in pretty bad shape. We're goign to just have to have people be angry around him until I can reconstruct it and make a new mob.

[Deer] - Well I'm sure he'll draw a crowd of angry people soon

[Basil] Loud angry noises-

[Doc] -sigh-

[Steve] Knocks on Lie's door.

[TLOT] Paused to look at the koi fish in their little pond, but is close behind

[CP] Grumbles but is the closest so he opens the door-

[Steve] Hi Cp.

[CP] - The fuck do you fuckers want?

[TLOT] We're going out for a bit and we need your expertise.

[CP] Narrows eyes- On what?

[TLOT] We were planning on going to your old seed actually, Doc found a way to hurt your NOTCH remotely.

[CP] - And I'm needed why?

[TLOT] Grins - We need something that belongs to him, or at least a thing he's touched.

[CP] - And what fucking makes you think that I know what's his or what he's touched?

[Steve] You'd know better then us. Besides we were thinking Stevie could be helpful too.

[TLOT] But you have to help us get there.

[CP] Growls a little- I'll make the opening, but I'm not fucking going

[TLOT] But we need you to get back!

[CP] - I'm sure you can figure it out

[TLOT] Scolding - Cp....

[Steve] I'll go get Stevie! - rushes off

[CP] - What?

[TLOT] Don't be like that. I thought you'd be happy we can strike even a small blow from a position of perfect safety.

[CP] - I'd rather drive my sword into his face

[TLOT] They'll be time enough for that later as well.

[Steve] Returns dragging Stevie a bit excitedly-

[TLOT] Gives Steve a nod of appreciation- Thank you.

[Stevie] - Wait, you said nothing about my brother!

[TLOT] He doesn't want to go, but we do need a guide.

[Stevie] - So I'm here... Why?

[TLOT] We'll explain once we get there. Come on Cp.

[CP] - Fine, I'll make the opening- He walks down to the grassy area in front of the house, and flicks his hand forwards, creating the opening

[TLOT] Hustles him quickly through and Steve does the same for Stevie-

[CP] - Fucker!

[TLOT] Shakes himself off a bit as his resolution falls a little- This errand is for your benefit, now shush.

[Steve] Stevie, what we need is something the fake NOTCH owned when he was watching you, or something he's touched at least.

[Stevie] - Well... The best bet would be to look around the house...

[CP] Much sarcasm- Oh joy...

[TLOT] Lead on then-

[Stevie] Takes in the familiar surroundings and heads for the house he and his brother had shared-

[Steve] Is looking around - wow, everything is so bare and simple.

[CP] - Of course it is, This is from early alpha

[Steve] I feel spoiled.

[TLOT] I was around for this stuff, but it's the part of my memory that's corrupted or lost entirely.

[Stevie] - Ah, there's the house!- The slightly damaged building has come into view

[TLOT] Is watching Cp from the corners of his eyes.

[CP] Frowns at the building, last time he was in there was to retrieve Stevie's wooden sword-

[TLOT] at Stevie - I bet it doesn't look quite as big this time.

[Stevie] - Yeah, much more like it should be

[TLOT] Squeaks open the front door and looks around. -

-The inside is rather barren. There's a rough table and chairs but not much else other then some old chests-

[TLOT] Did he have a private room Stevie?

[Stevie] - No, he would never stay here for long, and would spend almost all of his time with me

[Steve] Then we search the trunks. - Heads for them -

[CP] Leans against the wall-

[Stevie] Thinks for a moment before heading for some of the chests farther away-

[TLOT] We just need to make sure it's not something that belonged to your actual father. Just in case.

[CP] - He... Never really brought anything

[Stevie] - He usually had that journal with him...

[TLOT] The journal is safe. That I can promise.

[Stevie] Gives him a confused look-

[TLOT] Currently I have it. It's okay.

[Stevie] - Oh! Okay... Hmmm, this trunk just has some old papers...

[Steve] Peeks - what kind of old papers?

[Stevie] - The nothing done with kind...

[Steve] Awww, I was hoping for some more Stevie drawn masterpieces. - Smiles softly at him

[CP] - We didn't have anything to draw with then asshole!

[Steve] Meanie...

[TLOT] Puts a hand on Cp's arm - I know you're stressed. Just take some deep breaths please.

[Stevie] Stands there thinking for a moment, rather distracted-

[CP] Can't resist and teleports behind Stevie- Boo

[Stevie] Jumps- NETHER!

[TLOT] NOT HELPING.

[Steve] Reflexitively gives Cp a weak slap since he was standing rather close-

[CP] Narrows eyes at Steve-

[Stevie] Moves away from his brother-

[Steve] Takes a giant step back. - Sorry...

[Stevie] - Let's keep looking...

[TLOT] Runs his hands around, just tasting energies and looking for old emotions.

[CP] - What about the fucking doorknob? He probably touched that alot

[TLOT] So did everyone else!

[Stevie] - Umm, I touched that a lot too

[Steve] Unless he always came in by the back door or something, that's not gonna work...

[Stevie] - No back door

[Steve] I know! I was just saying.

[CP] Looks upwards-

[TLOT] Is there an attic?

[CP] - No, but if I remember correctly there is a space between the ceiling and the roof... I had to go up there once to put down torches once the mobs were introduced because they were spawning up there

[Stevie] - I think I remember that?

[TLOT] Have a look Cp, you're the only one that can fly. Just don't touch anything you find directly. Use a cloth or something.

[CP] Takes to flight and knocks out a couple of blocks and gets up into the space-

[Steve] Now I'm kind of excited. I bet nobodies been up there in forever.

[CP] - Nothing up here really, but there are a couple of walls...

[TLOT] Walls? Is there a blocked off space?

[CP] - Kinda? It's like somebody shored up the walls so you could potentially hide something...

[Steve] Super excited now-

[CP] Breaks away some of the blocks-

[Stevie] Is nervous about being below his brother-

[TLOT] Should I make a nerd pole? Do you need help Cp?

[CP] - If you want

[TLOT] Gets out some wool blocks and works his way up before stepping onto the floor near Cp. He strikes a torch and holds it out-

-Some of the blocks have been knocked out-

[TLOT] Looks deeper into the hole-

-It's pretty dark on both sides-

[CP] - There's four sides to look at- Knocks out more blocks and then suddenly stops- I think I found something...

[TLOT] What is it?

[CP] - Trunk... Should we drag it out or break it?

[TLOT] I say drag. We can look in it without touching that way.

[CP] Carefully grips the edges of the trunk and begins pulling it out, he stops once it's a few blocks out- Looks like that was the right call- He points at the spots next to where the trunk had been and there are pressure plates

[TLOT] I wonder what kind of booby trap those are attached to...? We should break the roof and take it outside to open it.

[CP] - You wanna carry it?

[TLOT] Oh okay. But it would be easier for you to do it. - He breaks out a two block hole in the side of the roof and climbs out. There's a soft 'bamf' and the paw of an enderdragon reaches back in through the hole and snags the trunk with a claw before before dragging it out and gingerly setting it in the grass.

[CP] Hops out as well-

[Steve] Sees the bulk of the dragon blocking the window and goes outside- Stevie, they found something hidden up there. It was booby trapped too!

[Stevie] - Are you serious?

[Steve] Yeah! Come out!

[Stevie] Follows him out-

[TLOT] Tuns his back to the trunk and uses the tip of his tail to flip the lid open. his wings are spread to protect the others in case something flies out-

-Inside are several complex and fragmented pieces of coding-

[Stevie] - Are we sure this isn't something my brother did and forgot about?

[TLOT] I hope not. I think Cp is a better hacker then this.

[CP] - It would have been very early on...

[TLOT] Sniffs the code out of reflex, he's trying to get a read on who it belongs too.

[CP] - The fuck are you doing?

[TLOT] Just seeing if it feels like anybody. I wonder what it was meant to do?

[Steve] Must have been important if it was hidden!

[CP] - Should we put it back together? The edges are clean so this fragmentation was intentional..

[TLOT] Lets do it with a copy, just in case. - He clicks on the bits and holds the copies out in one paw-

[CP] Begins putting the pieces together and it starts flickering back into what it originally was-

[Steve] What is it?!

[CP] - A command block

[TLOT] Did we find his computer?

[CP] - I don't know, but while here I never messed with command blocks...

[TLOT] Well then we have a confirm that it's his at least. Is there anything stored on it?

[CP] Fusses and then tenses-

[Stevie] - Brother?

[TLOT] Leans over and asks gently- what is it?

[CP] - Deletion codes...

[TLOT] Growls- Do you think it's part of that sword he's using now?

[CN] - I think it's the stuff he originally hit me with and built on from there...

[TLOT] Says something in binary, but it's absolutly a swear.

[Steve] Frowns - Well now we can use his nasty work against him.

[CP] - So are we taking this trunk back to the server?

[TLOT] Yes. Doc can assemble the orginal pieces for Dawn and pass them over. We'll keep the copy for study. Maybe we can reverse engenieer what he did, or make a defense against it.

[CP] - Fine, let's just go

[Steve] Gives Cp a small smile- thank you for helping.

[TLOT] Takes a last look around. - I hate to say it, but I'm actually curious as to what those buttons were hooked too.

[CP] - Then go ahead and press em

[TLOT] Okay... you guys get safely back. I've got an idea. - He taps a one block hole in the roof over the button and spawns an anvil-

[CP] Makes sure he has the trunk with him-

[TLOT] Flaps his wings and hovers a bit above the house before dropping the anvil squarely into the hole.

-There's the familiar hiss of TNT-

[TLOT] Flaps backward to get clear - TNT! Back up!

-The seed rocks from the explosion as chunks of house go flying, the house ends up completely obliterated and a large crater is left where it once stood-

[Stevie] - Our first house...

[TLOT] Flaps down and lands- That was a lot of TNT...

[Steve] Thank goodness you weren't a curious kid Stevie! You could have been killed!

[CP] - Probably was put in after he was turned into an adult... He was one very curious kid

[TLOT] It's still shitty to fill a house with TNT. Looks like he wasn't worried about collateral damage...

[Stevie] - Translation being he wasn't worried about me...

[Steve] Hugs Stevie- That's terrible!

[TLOT] What a prick.

[CP] - Well, now there's definitely no reason to come back here

[TLOT] Sorry about the house... but it's bad to leave a trap unsprung where someone else might stumble on it.

[CP] - Who would come to a seed this old?

[TLOT] Looks directly at the brothers- Flux.

[CP] - Oh... Right...

[Steve] I wonder if Flux could take over the subseed with the dragons and the NOTCHs somehow and be cut loose from this one?

[Stevie] - No idea...

[TLOT] I'll look into it. But Cp is right; we've learned all we can here. And we have our prize, let's go home.

[CP] Quickly creates the opening back and strides through-

[TLOT] Picks up Steve and Stevie and shuffles in after Cp-

[Stevie] - Um... Why?

[TLOT] Puts him back down and shifts back to his normal shape - Just a habit from dealing with your brother.

[Stevie] - Oh... Okay

[CP] Closes the way behind them-

[CP] Starts walking away-

[Stevie] Is a bit lost in thought-

[Steve] Approaches Stevie gently - Do you want to talk about it? My door is always open, brother.

[Stevie] - I think... I think I want in...

[Steve] In?

[Stevie] - When you go to destroy him, I want in

[Steve] It's gonna be dangerous...

[TLOT] We can always give you a high level bow or something so you can strike from a distance.

[Steve] I think we'll be going in with at least one or two dragons! You could ride!

[Stevie] - I'm not good at attacking from a distance, like my brother I use a sword

[TLOT] We'll think of something so you can have a piece. I'm glad you're with us.

[Steve] Friendly pat on Stevie's back.

[Stevie] - I'm gonna head home now

[CP] Paused to listen to Stevie-

[TLOT] Turns to Cp, listening quietly for any stray thoughts.

[CP] He's a bit concerned about Stevie, but refuses to show it-

[TLOT] Just nods at Cp, he's satisfied that the feelings are there, even unspoken. - I guess I'd better deliver the package now.

[CP] - Yeah yeah, whatever

[TLOT] I'll let you know as soon as I have news.

“Home then Out Again IRL”

[Doc] Well I'm overheated and starting to think we should head back. So many guys shouldn't be left unsupervised for long...

[Lie] - Good point, I'm a little surprised CP hasn't come looking for me yet...

[gem] yay void coldness time

[aven] we still never found a pokemon

[Herabrine] He probably decided to fap in every room and passed out afterwards.

[Sweet Alex] Hera!

[Deer] - Does this mean I have to put clothes on again?

[Yaunfen] Is still snoozing on Doc's head-

[Doc] Actually I was hoping you'd transform and help me carry everyone...

[Deer] - Oh, alright- She concentrates briefly and shifts into her dragon form

[Doc] Aven, we can go back out again later with a smaller group.

[Lie] Stands up- I'll go get changed real quick

[Herabrine] Floats up and shakes herself off, she's near instantly dry.

[Alexis] - Showoff

[gem] -is waiting for the group in the pool making more crowns so she stays wet and can be more cool in the void-

[Herabrine] It's good to be a brine. You're just jelous.

[Alexis] - Why would I be jealous?

[Sweet Alex] Clambers out and pats off with a towel before putting her sarong back on. -

[gem] -gathers her pokemon in their balls and makes one that looks like enderpearls and puts it on sky's head-

[Herabrine] Because I have weird powers and you're just a human critter?

[Doc] Knock it off please...

[Alexis] Joins Lie in changing back into normal clothes-

[Alexis] - Please remember that for the longest time brine was related to something very bad

[Doc] Hunkers down to take about half the group on hir back-

[guardians] -gathers by the group-

[Herabrine] Yeah, I'm bad. So what?

[Lie] - That's enough, let's not end this day on a bad note

[Deer] Gathers the other half of the group including the sleeping Mix-

[gem] -makes a glowy flower shaped planets that half are blue the other half is white and put's it on mix's head-

[gem] -then gathers by the group dripping wet-

[Doc] Makes a portal and trots back out into the void. Xe waits for hir mate and any stragglers who chose to walk before closing it up again.

[Lie] Shivers- Fuck the cold

[gem] yay it's cold!

[Yaunfen] Curls up a bit tighter-

[Doc] Hurries through the darkness to get them all out of the cold void-

[gem] maybe I should make my room a freezer again

[Lie] - I'll give you more cold flowers, but I wont enter your room if it's that cold

[Zyria] you just want it to be space cold don't you gem

[gem] yes I want space

[Doc] Opens the way into the server and hustles them all out into the sunshine before closing the wall again. - Everything seems okay...

[gem] look like no fires where started

[Sweet Alex] Yawns- I'm heading home, thanks for the fun outing guys!

[Lie] Slides off- Seems a little too quiet..."

[Alexsezia] Same here. Call me if you ever want to do that again. - heads toward her home as well

[Alexis] - Hold up, I'll join you guys

[lord Enderman] is this where you live ben

[aven] one yes two call me aven

[BEN] Comes riding over- AVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

[Herabrine] I'm gonna go look for Lj, you guys have fun.

[aven] -ben is still in control so her voice sounds male- yes?

[Sky] Looks around while holding Mix.

[Doc] Sky, there's a bed in the little house by the horse pen if you want to lay her down for a bit before going home...

[Sky] I think I'll do that.... - Heads inside.

[BEN] - They keep trying to convince me to go near water!

[hyrule] baff

[Doc] Moves hir head very deliberatly to not dislodge Yaunfen, and manages to bump lovingly against Deerheart.

[Deer] Nuzzles Doc lovingly-

[Doc] So glad everything is as we left it. Nice to know I can trust Cp at least to behave now.

[lady spider] awe that's such a cute baby -tries to get closer to ben so she can hug hyrule-

[BEN] Snarls at her and holds Hyrule closer-

[Doc] He's a bit defensive of his child miss. I can't really blame him. Creepypastas have some fertility issues, so this child is very special.

[aven] it's ok she is safe ben

[BEN] - Don't care

[lady spider] -backs away sadly-

[Lie] - Aven, I think Hyrule may want another bath, do you want me to help you with that again?

[BEN}] - NO BATHS!

[aven] -quietly to lie- if we can hyrule away from ben

[Lie] - Give me a minute- She calls out mentally to CP who teleports over

[CP] - What?

[Lie] - Can you get Hyrule away from BEN?

[CP] - Of course

[aven] lady spider you do know the other half of me will freak out everytime you com around so please be careful

[lady spider] I will make sure to be careful

[hyrule] wa-er baff

[CP] Lunges at BEN and manages to gently get Hyrule away before handing the baby to Lie and pinning BEN to the ground- Alright, do what you need to do

[Lie] Gives CP a quick kiss and looks at Hyrule- Who's a stinky little baby who needs a bath?

[hyrule] -giggles- baff baff

[Doc] Oh dear... -Xe spawns a cauldron, - Just fill it with one of your water buckets Lie. Then you don't have to take him anywhere

[Lie] - Thanks Doc- She fills the cauldron and looks at Aven- Do you just want me to do it or do you want to try?

[aven] no please you can

[Doc] Quietly to Cp- Did we miss anything?

[CP] - Fucking Steve rode past on TLOT

[Doc] In a human form or... other....?

[Lie] Nods in understanding and begins to gently bathe Hyrule in the cauldron-

[CP] - Mammoth

[lord creeper] -gets close to cp making a tiss sound-

[BEN] From under CP there's muffled noises-

[CP] - What?

[Doc] I'm sure that was a sight. Did you enjoy your quiet time? You okay there BEN?

[lord creeper] hello

[CP] - Wasn't very quiet over all...

[BEN] Manages to get his head up far enough to talk- TLOT told the villagers about the Notch that's here

[CP] - Can the others understand you or no?

[lord creeper] yesss

[Doc] Glances at the creeper - I understand, They're speaking normally. Something on your mind... um, Creeper?

[CP] - Good, then I won't need to translate

[lord creeper] all of usss ssspeak in a way othersss can under ssstand

[Doc] At BEN - I don't hear much in the ways of revolution, I presume they took the information well enough?

[BEN] - Don't know yet, juries still out

[Doc] Eh, I think they respect TLOT enough to come around. Toes crossed.

[CP] - Whatever

[Doc] At the creeper- That's unusual here, but handy enough. Just don't go trying to organize our mobs. We like them free to do whatever they want.

[lord creeper] we can alssso talk like mobsss but we can tell that the mobsss are in normal ssspawn like order here

[Doc] Yeah, we have a few that the native brine brought in that act as bodyguards for his mate and people, and one creeper they keep around the house just as a companion, but that's all.

[Lie] Gently pours water over Hyrule-

[hyrule] -giggles and splashes-

[lord creeper] the mobsss that lived where we came from tended to with out our guidance form groupsss and attack with out mercy and ssspawned when ever they felt like it

[Doc] Well we have a lot of humans here and they are under admin protection...

[lord creeper] I am glad your keeping them sssafe

[Doc] We like our little ones around here. - Hir eyes roll up to Yaunfen still snoring softly on hir head.

[BEN] - Where is my son?

[aven] don't worry about it ben

[Doc] About twelve cubes from your position. Lie is holding Hyrule.

[BEN] Whines a little-

[Lie] - Aven? Do you have any fresh diapers? Or a towel?

[aven] hands lie a diper and some bone meal

[gem] holds out a wool towel to dry him off with

[Doc] I knew you guys would be prepared. He's getting some rather fine parenting with the three of you.

[Lie] Pulls Hyrule out of the water and plays a bit of peek-a-boo with him while she dries him-

[hyrule] -is giggleing- wa-er

[Lie] - Yes, we were in water

[Doc] Half the server was.

[aven] I know ben doen't like it but hyrule like aqua and aqua is very nice to hyrule

[Lie] Diapers Hyrule and passes him over to Aven since BEN is still pinned-

[Doc] How is Aqua anyway? Any sign of first words?

[aven] -takes hyrule and holds him and gives him kisses- thank you lie

[BEN] - How the fuck should we know?

[gem] because I take care of him so no, no signs of words

[Doc] Well... - xe addresses the group of newcomers- Do you guys have any questions? Do you need a place to stay?

[lord Enderman] for now yes we do need a place and what is this place

[Doc] Okay, you can stay with me and my family. This is a sanctuary for the hunted. We take in Herobrines, dragons, creepypastas, and even weak and peaceful NOTCHes and hide them from those who would hurt them.

[lady spider] that's so sweet

[Doc] Blushes a bit- Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their heads.

[CP] - I swear, you just want to run an insane asylum

[Doc] I have a bad case of bleeding hearts... Luckly for you especially.

[Notch] Comes wandering up from the direction of Stevie's house. - Oh hey. You're back. How was it?

[CP] - Fuck off!

[Lie] - CP!

[gem] hello

[Notch] Not nice. -notices the mobs- Wait, Are these guys more of your mobs Cp?

[CP] - Nope

[Notch] Obvious sigh of relief-

[lord Enderman] greetings

[Notch] Hello.... um... does someone have a translation program running? I understood that and I haven't heard an enderman speak english ever apart from Enderbro...

[lady spider] no we speak english

[Notch] Wow... are you guys glitches?

[lord Enderman] no we spawn like this. this is normal for us.

[Doc] I think they're just from a more advanced seed. Guys, this is Markus. He's the orginal Notch. A human who Cp... invited to join us.

[lord creeper] it'sss a pleasssure to meet you

[lady enderdragon] -is trying to get close to yaunfen-

[CP] Finally gets off of BEN-

[Notch] Stops himself from sticking out a hand to shake since the creeper can't reciprocate easily. - Charmed as well.

[CP] - Yeah... Invited...

[Doc] Is wary but lets the lady see Yaunfen- Just don't touch, they're sleeping so sound. Our little one had a big day out.

[lady enderdragon] they are so small

[Doc] They've only had two spurts of growth so far. They came from a heavily modded seed. I don't actually know how big they'll be when they're grown.

[lady enderdragon] -smiles at yaunfen-

[Doc] So far they only know three words. We're still in the toddler phase.

[lady enderdragon] that is so adorable

[Markus] Wait? Three. It was only one last time I heard. What are the other two words?

[Deer] - No and fuck...

[Notch] Fuck?

[Doc] Mb was hanging around...

[Notch] Oh...

[lord creeper] -is making a tiss sound rapidly like laughing-

[Doc] Mb is a bit.... rough around the edges..

[Mb] Shouting from the other end of the spawn - Go fuck yourself Doc!-

[Doc] See?

[lady silver fish] -looks like a kid- how sad does that mb seem

[Doc] He has issues... we're working on it. This is a place for healing after all.

[lady sliver fish] I would like to see the end result

[Doc] Then you'll have to stick around for a while. - side-eyes Cp - These things take time and careful handling...

[Notch] Hey Cp?

[CP] - What now?

[Notch] Your little brother had a bit of a shock today and you might want to go visit him...

[CP] - Why would I do that?

[Notch] Because....? - Flails around a bit.

[Doc] Because it wouldn't evicerate you to visit him Cp?

[CP] - Could I eviscerate him?

[Notch] Gives Cp a tired look. - Are we really back to that?

[Doc] No.

[Lie] - CP, we can do something when you get home IF you have a... Pleasant visit with your brother

[Notch] Whispers something to Doc-

[Doc] REALLY? THAT'S SO COOL!

[Doc] Whispers in Deerheart's ear as well-

[CP] Gives them a suspicious look-

[Deer] - It evolved?

[Notch] It's huge!

[Doc] YEEE.

[CP] - Probably into something more ridiculous

[alexine] -is walking away from the group to find Stevenson-

[Lie] - Come on CP, go visit him

[Notch] I'll walk with you...

[CP] Growls a little-

[Notch] Shrinks a little.

[Lie] - CP...

[CP] - FINE!

[BEN] - Oh, by the way, TLOT's villagers know about you now Notch

[gem] stop being grumpy

[Notch] I hope they're okay.... But it's not like they were ever NOTCH worshipers.

[Doc] Just Zile....

[BEN] - Well I know that at least one of them wants to meet you

This message has been removed.

[Notch] Blushes a bit- Oh....

[BEN] - Maybe Flux will have a bit of competition now~

[Doc] Who is it?

[BEN] - The weird lady with the baby creepers

[lord creeper] creepersss

[Doc] Chuckles- Then no, Markus is not nearly green or explosive enough for her tastes.

[Notch] I hope she's not looking for me to blow me up?!

[CP] - Who knows

[Deer] Frowns as something catches her attention- CP? Didn't you do something around this time of the year before?

[CP] - The fuck do you mean?

[Doc] Cocks an eyebrow at her- Are you becoming more sensitive to the servers internal clock?

[Deer] - Maybe? But I think it's the first day of spring?

[Doc] Is that signifigant...?

[CP] Tenses- Er, uh...

[Lie] Blushes a little-

[Notch] You guys are all sort of signed in right?

[Doc] We have legal accounts.

[Notch] You know you could make it so there's an announcement over the chat or something on anniversary or other signifigant days.

[gem] that would be super cool

[Deer] - We can?

[CP] Subtly makes a way out of the game-

[Doc] I'd have to just pick a spawnday for myself, but I can get a bead on when Deerheart showed up and when Yaunfen hatched at least

[Doc] Cp? Where are you going?

[CP] - Nowhere!

[Doc] If you're going out, I want to come.

[CP] - Why?

[Doc] Practice?

[CP] Scowls-

[Doc] Love, can you watch Yaunfen for a bit?

[Deer] - Absolutely- She reaches over and gently picks Yaunfen up and places them between her front paws

[Notch] I'll stay here with Deerheart and go with you when you get back Cp.

[CP] Glares at Notch a little-

[Notch] Smiles pleasantly-

[Doc] Addresses the group - I'm gonna step out again for a bit. If you need to bed down in the meantime, I'm sure my beloved will take care of you.

[Deer] Nods in confirmation-

[CP] - I'm making the portal this time, don't wanna waste much time

[lord Enderman] -waves good bye to doc with the rest of the group-

[Doc] Shifts to normal and waits beside him-

[CP] Makes the opening bigger and quickly steps through-

[Doc] Follows behind him-

[CP] Slips them out through a tv in a store-

[Doc] Notices they're in public and shucks off hir gloves and coat so Cp won't bitch. Hir tank top is pale green today and xe changes hir purple pants to black hurredly-

[CP] Stalks out into an open air market full of crafts and other things-

[Doc] Is assaulted by the riot of high res colors and intense smells and reels for a moment.

[CP] Glances back at them- The fuck is wrong with you?

[Doc] Sticks out a hand and catches Cp's shirttail with it to keep from stumbling- It's a bit much....

[CP] - Yeah, these places can be busy

[Doc] Steady's hir breathing- Where are we?

[CP] - A street market, usually hand made things are sold at these

[Doc] Ah, amongst fellow crafters. I like it. So what are we doing? Just looking for knick-knacks?

[CP] Hesitates a bit- The first day of spring... It's Lie's spawn day, or birthday out here

[Doc] OH! So you're getting her a present? Cp... I'm so proud of you!

[CP] - Shut up asshole

[Doc] Beams a huge happy smile at him anyway.

[CP] Starts scanning the stalls near them, looking for something Lie might like-

[Doc] Is just oogling everything and trying very hard not to be obvious about it. Xe fusses around in hir inventory and comes up with a little plastic card- Good thing I still have this on me...

[CP] Passes by the jewelry stalls, knowing Lie doesn't wear any-

[Doc] Has found the toys and holds up a floppy doll in a green outfit with a huge grin- Hey look! It looks like BEN, but less stinky!

[CP] Shakes his head- Get it for Hyrule if you really wanna annoy BEN

[Doc] Hir eyes glitter mischeviously- Sold!

CP] - Don't tell me that, go to the seller

[Doc] Am I not allowed to be enthusiastic? - Xe looks around and fixes on a bored looking girl at a table in the back- I'll take this.

[Girl] Okay... here. Just swipe - she holds up a phone with a triangular device sticking out of the top-

[Doc] Is already distracted and points at a colorful cat plushie behind her- I want that too!

[Girl] Eyebrow- Okaaay.... - adds it to the total- Swipe please.

[Doc] Stares at the reader nervously-

[Girl] Looks so done with everything and everyone-

[CP] Is snickering at Doc's hesitation-

[Doc] Stares at the card for a second and tries to fit it in the wrong way- I'm sorry...

[Girl] Annoyed. She takes the card and pulls it through the reader. - Sign here-

[Doc] Scribbles hir full name with some trepedation -

[CP] - You done yet?

[Doc] Noticed a string of twinkly things hanging over the clerk - Where did you..?

[Girl] Two booths down -sigh-

[Doc] Drags Cp with some difficulty. Xe fumbles around in the gaudy stall and finds a little box with a picture like what xe was looking at. The tips are spiky stars. - It's so neat... and it changes color like a Jeb sheep! Man... it's smelly in here. Reminds me of those oily flowers Lie made for Sweet Alex. They sure have a lot of blown glass things too...

[CP] Grumbles-

[Doc] quietly at Cp- what are these for anyway?

[Doc] Notices a container with several rolls of wrapped paper and pulls one out. Is this....? Oh! It's whatever is on the label? Such pretty images. I like this one the best. It's, I don't even know.... It speaks to me.... - the image is bordered with sylized curtains and is obviously very old but recolored with more garish tones to catch a black light. It's a strange sealed glass vessel with three birds curled up inside of it.

[CP] - Doc... That's for what BEN smokes...

[Doc] OH. Wow.... that's super fancy. It looks like lab equiptment but colorful!

[CP] - Yeah yeah, are we done here?

[Doc] In a minute, I'm going to buy this poster-

-There's a cold whisper of wind near Cp's ear, and the distinct sense of diapproval and a tiny edge of panic.

[CP] Frowns and looks around, his eyes narrowing as he looks-

[Doc] Comes back with the artwork in a bag. - Okay, we can move on-

[CP] - Did you feel anything... Odd?

[Doc] Suddenly looks a teeny bit scared. - No? Are there.... other creepypastas around?

[CP] - No, they wouldn't have been able to resist the chance to make fun of me out here...

[Doc] Scoots close to him- Let's just.. go... Wait? why would they make fun of you?

[CP] Heads deeper into the market- Because would you ever actually expect to find me in a place like this?

[Doc] Why not? There's all kinds of things here. - Gestures to a used bookseller- Surely at least Slender reads? He's been around for so long, I can't see TV providing much enjoment.

[CP] - He get's his proxies to get him things

[Doc] I'm still going to count that as him being here.

[CP] Rolls his eyes and continues looking-

[Doc] Feels something tug the tube and jumps. Xe skitters in front of Cp- I think someone's trying to steal my stuff! Here! Hide me for a sec- Xe uses his size to mark hir from view long enough to put the bags in hir inventory.

[CP] Is on high alert now-

[Doc] You lead. I'm feeling a bit.. uncertain.

[CP] Slips around Doc and moves on at a bit of a faster pace-

[Doc] Holds his shirttail-

[CP] Slows a little as he spots a stall filled with more flowing type clothes-

[Doc] Is distracted by a rack of kimonos. - This looks kinda like what Flux wears.

[CP] - They're called Kimono's, they're from Japan

[Doc] They're really pretty. I might take the shape in mind next time I do some sewing.

-Towards the back there are shelves containing scarves-

[Doc] Ruffles through some embroidered bags- So what are you goign to get her?

[CP] - I don't know yet... There isn't much that she wants that she doesn't already have...

[Solace] Perhaps just yourself, willing to entertain and be around her? -when you appear beside someone, man.-

[Doc] Yeah, she is a bit hard to buy for... WHOAH!

[Luna] Waves at them from next to Solace-

[CP] - Fuck off Solace

[Doc] Hello Luna! Settling in nicely? Doing a bit of shopping Solace?

[Luna] - Oh, um, yes

[Solace] A bit, yes.

[Doc] Hey... you didn't like... brush past us earlier or something did you?

[Luna] - No, not that I'm aware of

[Doc] How are things at home? Slender was pretty furious the last time I saw him....

[Solace] If something passed you, wasn't us. We can keep a look out? - taps chin - He's still a bit bitter but he's accepted what happened.

[Doc] Ah, good. How are the cooking lessons coming along?

[Solace] - thoughtful look- ...And I'd just managed to forget....

[Solace] Mixed results, really. Sometimes things go.. very well, other times not so Much..

[Doc] I'd ask if he wanted my help but I'm pretty sure the answer would be 'fuck no, go die in a fire'...

[CP] Has slipped away from them farther into the store

[Doc] Moves to keep Cp in sight- Did you find something?

[CP] - Fuck off- The two girls working the table are giggling while watching CP

[Doc] Side eyes the girls- Any suggestions for someone shopping for their wife? -Eyes flick meaningfully to Cp- Likes horses, gardening and retro video games.

[Girls] Giggle some before one of them speaks- A hunk and a husband who will actually buy things for his wife? Sign me up

[Doc] Gives a very clear 'you'd be sorry' look and flashes hir sharklike teeth in a grin.

[CP] Rolls his eyes at Doc before turning away from them-

[Girls] Are obviously eyeing his butt-

[Doc] Follows him with a sigh.

[CP] - Fuck off Doc

[Doc] Do you want me to leave Cp? I thought I could help but you don't seem to want any.

[CP] - Was my trying to get out without you not a big enough hint?

[Doc] Wilts - I.. don't get out much... And now I have something cute for Yaunfen and Hyrule and some art for my house... I didn't want you to be alone. I know you're frustrated.

[CP] Groans and one of the stalls girls approaches-

[Girl] - So sir, it seems a shame that your wife is so difficult to buy for...

[Doc] It's because she has everything she needs already. It would be a frippery. Just something to make her smile.

[Girl] - Hmmmm, sounds like you could use someone easier to buy for

[CP] Is about ready to murder the girl-

[Doc] I think you're barking up the wrong tree. He's very, very taken.

[Girl] - Pity, I could probably show you a lot more than your ditzy wife

[Doc] Ummm... I seriously doubt that... I think you should back off.

[Girl] Looks at CP- Ditch your friend and meet me in the back- She then walks off

[Doc] Quietly- Only if you want to never be seen again... Come on Cp. Let's go somewhere else.

[CP] Storms out of the tent-

[Doc] Turns to the remaining girl- You should really listen when people tell you no. You can get in a lot of trouble ignoring other people's feelings.

[Girl] - Whatever, he's still the most delicious thing to come through here today

[Doc] He's also ex-military with severe PTSD and several hundred confirmed kills. I could see in his body language he was on the verge of a very bad reaction.

[Girl] - Ooooh, a strong military man huh?

[Doc] Is too stunned to keep the thought in- Wow... I guess survival instinct varies a lot amongst humans. You have my pity.

[Girl] - Whatever you weirdo

[Doc] Is getting a bit pissed- Weirdo? At least I'm not a suicidal nimrod!

[Girl] - I'm not suicidal! I'm just appreciating something somebody else isn't

[Doc] Who says he's not appreciated? You're making stupid assumptions about a complete stranger because you're utterly focused on what you want! -Flails a bit but falls back on hir experince with the internet- You're no better then a... a.. cis-white fuck-boy!

[Girl] - Fucking, there's a good idea... I wonder if I can get that delicious hunk in bed

[Doc] Just backs away from her a bit in consternation- Good gods... you're gonna be on the news someday. [as a missing person] - Turns on hir heel to leave

`[Girl] - Yeah, because I'll be famous!

[Doc] Quietly- Famously dead. - Xe looks around to see if Solace and Luna are still there.

[Solace] -Not too far away with Luna-

[Doc] Walks up to Solace- Geeze.... I try to be protective of humans usually, but some of them are dumb as dirt...

[Luna] Is looking at some necklaces-

[Solace] Indeed. Surprised Herobrine didn't rip her apart... Well, he could be...

[Doc] I hope not... stupidity should be an opening for teaching better ways. Not an automatic death sentance.

[Solace] Brother would disagree.

[Doc] That's because your brother is an apex predator, humans are his prey. In my case it's more like they're dogs and I'm a cat. Different thing but similar level.

[Solace] Hm... True. -Glances over to what Luna's looking at- ... See anything you like?

[Luna] Points to a silver necklace in the form of a moon-

[Doc] I guess it's a trust exercise then. If he comes back with blood on him, all I can really do is scold him for losing his temper.

[Solace] A lost temper in that situation is somewhat justified. -takes the necklace and pays for it before giving it to Luna-

[Luna] Smiles- Thank you Solace

[Doc] Thank you for watching over her. It means a lot to me.

[Luna] - Thank you for fighting for me

[Doc] Chokes a little- I... I couldn't not... I was just as terrified as you.

[Solace] It was the least I could do.

[Doc] If you ever want to visit us, either or both of you... let me know okay? It's a much calmer world.

[Solace] I'll keep that in mind, should we need it.

[Luna] - Where would we be going? Someplace like Splender's home?

[Doc] Oh, me and Cp, we live in a videogame. It's much lower res then out here.

[Luna] - A... Video game?

[Doc] Yeah. We're both Herobrines. We live in Minecraft. It's a survival game with crafting stuff. But I keep the local difficulty on the lowest setting.

[Luna] - I think my little brother played that...

[Doc] It's a nice place to live. I went from being a homeless glitch to having a massive castle I built all by myself.

[Luna] - Interesting...

[Doc] Turns to Solace - I'm glad your brother Splender likes to hang out with us. He's a ray of sunshine to be with. And one of the few inhabitants who really appreciates a good multi-colored build.

[Solace] I'm glad he's enjoying himself, anything interesting he's gotten done?

[Doc] He's pretty busy with his baby dragon. Have you met Pinwheel yet? She's got a horribly venemous bite but she's gorgeous to look at. And actually... he did help with something super important recently! He helped a small group of us kill a NOTCH that had horribly tortured one of my fellows on his previous seed. It was quite a battle, and the natives have basically given him a place of worship in their pantheon of gods and goddesses.

[Solace] Can't say I have... -actually seems a bit amused over what Doc's said- I'm glad he was of help!

[Doc] The really interesting part is that he has kind of Herobrine powers because of it. That brines abilities increase when people believe in him and they're passed on in a small way to everyone who was part of the battle. i don't know if he'll develop any new powers or if it will just enhance what he's got. But it's fascinating either way.

[Solace] I see, I'll be sure to pass that on so brother can be ready if Splendor may come back with a few new skills...

[Doc] Well.. don't tell him just for my sake... he may go ballistic again. I have no idea what his feelings on the matter may be.

[Solace] If he doesn't approve, I'll prevent him from murdering you? Not that he could, Splendor himself would stop him aswell.

[Doc] Thank you. I don't think it's really possible to have too many allies. So what's new with you two?

[Solace] Nothing particularly important... Although you would benefit more from making sure Herobrine hasn't indeed murdered that girl...

[Doc] You're right, it was nice seeing you both again. -walks back outside-

[Doc] Doesn't see Cp anywhere and slumps a bit- I really hope he didn't ditch me again... or murder anyone...

Roleplay server Log #162

“Hyrule the water Baby”

[TLOT] Poor Notch... He won't be getting any sleep at all

[CP] - Exactly, where as I'm trying to coax Lie into sleeping again

[TLOT] Poor Lie, she's still having those nightmares?

[CP] - Don't know, she hasn't fallen asleep yet

[Doc] at Steve- you found the gems?

[Steve] Yeah! Here, My love has some of them as well. Here's the diamonds - holds out the blue rock candy-

[Doc] makes a click copy and offers the gem to the little dragon

[Yaunfen] Sniffs and starts to happily gum on it-

[TLOT] Well... She is a brine, she doesn't have to sleep if she really doesn't want too

[CP] - I recall you telling me how well that worked last time...

[Doc] I think we hit the jackpot in more ways then one, was that what you wanted little one?

[Yaunfen] Happy squeaks-

[TLOT] flustered- well it's hard on your psyche if you don't let your main-frame rest, but it can be done!

[CP] Sighs- Come on, let's get going

[CP] Opens a portal to the digital realm and steps through, once everyone is through he closes the portal and turns to Doc- Okay, find the server

[Doc] is just floating in the nothing and holding Yaunfen- ummm I think... - they're looking for something that feels like hir lover- that way!...?

- the vanilla cow seems distressed and Steve puts Stevie on its back

[TLOT] I can feel it too Doc... Go that way

[CP] - Consider this training for going out into the real world, because getting back is just as important

[Doc] Oh.... - Is casting about and starts going in a slightly different direction. - I do feel something familiar close by.... over this way...

[CP] Is fighting down his snickers-

[TLOT] Uh.. Doc I'm not sure that's our server.

[CP] Motions for TLOT to shut up-

[Doc] I think you're right, but it is one I know. - reaches out with hir free hand to touch the faint square.

[Doc] Walks forward and emerges into Cp's office. - Ah fuck.

[CP] Bursts out laughing-

[TLOT] Not nice Cp. They did find someplace we've been before, it wasn't a random seed.

[CP] - Oh but it is funny, and hey, at least they didn't find a way out to real world first

[Doc] Looks around for a moment and gets a naughty idea. Xe takes out one of the lollipop flowers and gives it a big lick before sticking it to the seat of Cp's desk chair and pushing it back under the desk.

[CP] - Come on Doc, I'm sure your mate is eager for you to get home

[Doc] Comes back out - Dammit.... Okay, I'm trying... - starts headed off in a different direction.

[TLOT] Just relax and feel around.

[Doc] This is odd... - Xe puts out a hand and touches a different pane. - it feels like... BEN actually...

[CP] - That's because that is Majora's Mask

[Doc] Ech... I don't have good memories associated with that game... Still feels a bit like his energy though.

[CP] - Probably not his copy

[Doc] Makes a suddenly brighter face and points a ways away. - I know there's at least one Pokemon game that direction, I don't know which one though.

[CP] - No

[Doc] I wasn't suggesting we go. Though I'm sure Stevie and your Honedge would enjoy it. - Is moving along at a walking pace.

[Stevie] Is lightly kicking the cow he's on-

[Steve] Be gentle Stevie, I think this cow is a bit freaked out being out here.

[Stevie] - Okay

[Doc] Actually there's a place here you don't know about, I bet. - Trots a bit to one side. - This one is where our friends Richtofen and Takeo came from. I can hear the zombies screaming from here. - It's also a good place for... aquiring unusual equiptment for experiments....

[CP] Growls a little-

[TLOT] That's a shooter isn't it.... Let's not...

[Doc] I wouldn't. The cow would get infected and it would be far too dangerous for Steve and Stevie.

[Stevie] - No zombies, zombies are bad and they bang on doors really loudly...

[Steve] playful- They're also stinky and bad tempered.

[Stevie] - Uh-huh!

[CP] Flicks a hand which forces a stray bit of coding farther away-

[Doc] Gets a devious look and sticks a hand into a rather dusty pane. Xe pulls hir hand back out with a large green leaf and tosses it at Cp. - Hey Cp, think fast!

[CP] Swats it away-

-As he touches it there's a VOOFP noise and suddenly Cp has a pair of raccoon ears on his head and a racoon tail on his rear.

[TLOT] Nearly chokes with laughter

[CP] -Doooooooooc....

[Stevie] Giggles as well-

[Doc] If you wag it you'll fly faster and I bet Stevie will laugh in a very sweetly endearing and childlike way at his funny big brother.

[CP] - How about I ram my sword up your ass instead!

[Doc] Yikes! Okay! I'm going! - Scoots out of reach and starts sniffing around for the feel of the server before heading off in a determined way.

{Stevie] - Let's go moo moo

[Doc] Ohhh. Cp... we should come back to this one just you and me later....

[CP] - What asinine thing are you talking about now?

[Doc] It's Vice City. I could go for some crazy driving, and I think you'd enjoy the flamethrower.

[CP] - I don't need a tool for that

[Doc] Then the plethora of targets would be to your liking at least.

[CP] - Whatever

[TLOT] Puts his ear near a pane. - I hear roaring...

[CP] - That's a Jurassic Park game

[Steve] Swallows - No.. dinosaurs please...

[Doc] Don't worry, I want to go home too.

[CP] - If you can find it

[TLOT] I really don't think we should be out here longer then nessesary. NOTCHs can seed hop too you know.

[CP] - Yeah yeah

[Doc] If holding Yaunfen close with one hand and touching pane after pane with the other. - Good gods there are so many Minecraft seeds...

[CP] - Yup, oh hey, that's one of the ones I used to be on

[TLOT] does that mean your NOTCH wrecked it already?

[CP] - Nope, I did

[Doc] Has caught a scent now and is starting to run.

[CP] - I don't feel like running

[TLOT] Then walk. - Hurries after Doc pulling the cow along with Steve beside him.

[CP] Decides to float along instead, setting the tail and ears on fire to destroy them-

[Doc] Is inputing a complex passcode onto a pane that's much shinier then the ones around it. - I found it!

[CP] - Found what?

[Doc] Opens the wall to show the savannah and an afternoon sky- Home.

- There's a bit of bellowing as the mammoths react to the humans and brines and shuffle farther away.

[Stevie] - What are those!

[TLOT] Leads them inside after Doc - They're mammoths Stevie. Lie took a liking to some on an outing with Doc.

[Doc] I couldn't resist rescuing a few. They're so fuzzy and majestic.

[Stevie] - Look brother! Home!

[CP] - Yeah yeah

[Doc] I wonder how Aven and BEN are faring? We're near their house.

[aven] -is siting outside with hyrule in her arms-

[CP] - I don't know or care right now

[TLOT] Leads the cow towards Gem's house since they can see it from where they are anyway.

[CP] Groans and follows to keep an eye on Stevie-

[Steve] Runs up ahead of the others - Hey Aven!

[aven] oh hello.

[Steve] Awww, how are you holding up Aven?

[TLOT] I smell something stinky...

[aven] I was going to have gem give hyrule a bath when she got back while I distracted ben because he is over protective.

[Doc] Walks up as well - Hey Aven. Ah, that sounds like a good idea. Look what I have, you're not the only one with a little babe to tend now. Meet Yuanfen.

[Yuanfen] Still gumming on the candy diamond-

[aven] is it made of candy while eating candy?

[Doc] They just look like candy as camoflage I think. But yes, Yaunfen likes candy. Their whole home seed is candy and cake and ice cream. It's heavily modded. The cow came from there too.

[TLOT] The milk is vanilla flavored, want some?

[aven] yes that sounds good.

[Steve] Pulls out the bucket again and fills it for her before passing it.

[TLOT] Um Aven... I could wash Hyrule again if you want, it smells like he needs it.

[Stevie] - What's the tiny thing?

[aven] -takes the bucket in one hand while holding hyrule- I will have to distract ben but sure it would be helpful.

[TLOT] It's a baby Stevie. A tiny person.

[Doc] Where is BEN anyway?

[Stevie] - How did it get here?

[Steve] Aven made him. With some help from BEN.

[aven] he should be inside -takes a sip of the milk- oh this is good.

[Stevie] - So a boy and a girl can make a baby?

[Steve] Yep. That's not the only way you can do it, but I think it's the simpliest.

[Stevie] - So brother could make one with miss Lie?

[TLOT] Takes out some of the lollipop flowers- Looks at this haul Aven, you should have seen it. It was crazy pastel everywhere.

[aven] that seem like a lot of candy.

[Steve] Well... no because Lie gave up one of the parts she needed cause she's not ready to be a mom just yet. But she could if she changed her mind.

[TLOT] Oh yes. Toffee for gold, rock candy diamonds and sticky strawberry lava.

[Stevie] - But I want a little brother so I can play the big brother!

[Steve] Aww. What about Ashe? You're older then he is.

[Stevie] - But he's already bigger than me sometimes

[Steve] Bigger doesn't matter, you're still older. Besides. He could use someone strong to help him out.

[Stevie] - But his momma is really strong!

[Steve] Yeah but she's not a kid and she has to look after Willow and Oak too. It would be a big help.

[Stevie] - Okay

[aven] gem would have a field day with that candy she has a huge sweet tooth

[TLOT] I didn't know that! Hang on, I'll copy some of this and give it to you.

[Doc] Just not the endstone sponge cake. It seems to expand if you leave it anywhere.

[CP] - Stevie, do you wanna head home? You still have that... Blanket, fort to work on...

[Stevie] - I wanna keep riding the cow!

[TLOT] Gives Aven a big handful of candies and cake blocks - Here you go. And you should let me take care of Hyrule. Is it better to tell BEN or just be quick about it?

[aven] then lets head inside the main area there is a caldron in the bathroom there.

[Steve] I'll stay out here and watch Stevie and.. Moo Moo?

[Doc] Do you need help TLOT?

[TLOT] Only if BEN attacks me.

[Doc] I'm coming with you.

[BEN] Has barricaded the bathroom door and hung a sign- NO BATHING THE BABY IN WATER!

[aven] -starts to head inside-

[TLOT] Hmm... should we go in the kitchen instead?

[aven] yep.

[BEN] Is in the kitchen eating-

[Doc] Offers Yaunfen hir shoulders - could you crawl up and lay down?

[aven] -hands tlot hyrule-

[Yuanfen] Scrambles up, digging hir claws in a bit-

[Doc] Winces a bit, but hir coat mostly protects hir from the dragons thick claws. - What do you need TLOT?

[BEN] Glares at TLOT- Why do you have Hyrule?

[aven] -goes over to ben- because you need to chill

[TLOT] You know why BEN, he's stinky. I just came over to visit, but it looks like you needed help anyway. -turns to Doc- Just a diaper and some bone meal.

[BEN] Is immediately between TLOT and the water source- Don't you dare

[aven] -trying is dragging ben away upstairs-

[BEN] - NO! MY SON WILL NOT DROWN!

[TLOT] Come on BEN, I didn't hurt him last time, what makes you think this would be different?

[aven] I will get one of gem's guardian to carry you upstairs he won't drown I promise.

[Doc] BEN, it does make my hearts happy to see how much you care about him.

[BEN] Is snarling at TLOT-

[TLOT] I'll make it quick. Trust me. - He switches the baby to one hand and puts some water in the cauldron sink before turning up his glitch around his fingers to make it a bit warm.

[aven] -yells- hey vin can you help me carry ben upstairs?

[vin] -comes downstairs and because he is very tall picks up ben-

[BEN] Struggles desperately to get out of Vin's grasp-

[vin] -is strong and carries him upstairs-

[Doc] Sets out some cloth for a diaper and a bone meal blob.

[TLOT] Lays the baby in the bit of water and starts washing him gently.

[BEN] - HYRULE! DON'T DROWN!

[Doc] Oh hush, you'll make him cry yelling like that.

[hyrule] -starts babbling and bouncing once he sees the water-

[CP] Is snickering at BEN-

[TLOT] Is making silly noises at the baby and playing with his teeny fingers and toes.

[hyrule] -is giggling trying to grab tlots fingers-

[TLOT] makes tiny splashes with his fingers for Hyrule.

[hyrule] -splashes along with tlot-

[BEN] Can be heard yelling upstairs-

[TLOT] Gives the baby a through washing and reaches for the towel Doc is holding to pat him off. - Man you really like a good bath. Somehow two hydrophobics equaled one hydrophilliac.

[Doc] Yeah, he's gonna have an interesting childhood.

[aven] yeah ben is going to be going insane over it and gem will probably teach him to swim.

[BEN] - HYRULE!

[aven] ben chill he is fine.

[BEN] - HE GOT WET!

[aven] wet doesn't equal drown ben.

[BEN] - YES IT DOES!

[aven] unless hyrule breaths though his skin he isn't going to drown by being wet.

[TLOT] Powders Hyrule's butt and ties a clean diaper around him. - There we go! All clean and not even a teeny bit drowned.

[Doc] Unless BEN considers that his last name...

[BEN] - THERE IS SUCH A THING AS DRY DROWNING!

[Doc] Oh is that when your lungs fill with fluid and you choke?

[aven] -is facepalming-

[BEN] - USUALLY AFTER A NEAR DROWNING!

[Doc] Shush, he's fine. Look he's smiling. Ready for his proud parents to coo over him some more

[hyrule] -is giggling-

[BEN] Get's free of Vin and darts downstairs again-

[snake] -kazoo's loudly at ben as he almost stepped on him-

[TLOT] Is holding Hyrule gently

[BEN] - Hyrule!

[Doc] Is scratching Yaunfen's chin lightly.

[TLOT] Here you go- Holds the baby out for BEN to take.

[BEN] Takes Hyrule and floats up by the ceiling holding him protectively-

[Doc] Looks up - So apart from the conniption fit, how are you doing BEN?

[BEN] - Okay I guess...

[TLOT] Losing sleep? I hear babies cry a lot.

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] Freezes-

[aven] well it looks like hyrule's first word is water

[Doc] First word! Awww!

[BEN] - noooooooooooooooo

[TLOT] I guess he really does like getting a bath.

[hyrule] wa-er wa-er

[BEN] - No, how about lightning?- Brings a little of his green electricity into his hand

[Doc] Too many syllables for a first word.

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] Groans-

[BEN] - Aven! Our child is defective!

[aven] hyrule is fine the only reason he isn't scared is because he never drowned and I would like to keep it that way.

[BEN] - Are you sure we can't trade him in for another?

[aven] -face palms- that's not how that works

[BEN] - Are we sure?

[aven] one hundred percent

[BEN] Whines-

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - No, lightning

[hyrule] wa-er wa-er

[BEN] - Light-ning

[aven] I don't think he is going to say lightning

[BEN] - Shut up

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - No, light-ning

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - Light-ning

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - Light-ning

[hyrule] wa-er wa-er wa-er

['BEN] Groans- I will find a way to remove that word from your vocabulary

[aven] ben let him say it

[BEN] - No way, water is evil and dangerous and why aren't you on my side? You were killed by it too!

[aven] only my ben half drowned

[BEN] - That's not the point!

[aven] the point is our kid doesn't have hydrophobia like us.

[BEN] - HOW CAN HE NOT HAVE IT!?

[aven] because where you born with hydrophobia I know I wasn't

[BEN] Grumbles a little-

[aven] he was just not born with any fear of water

[BEN] Turns his attention back to Hyrule- Say light-ning

[hyrule] wa-er

[aven] try some thing easyer like mommy or daddy

[BEN] - ANYTHING, but- grimaces- water...

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - No

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - NO! Light-ning

[hyrule] -starts crying because ben yelled-

[BEN] - Shit! Aven!

[aven] give hyrule to me

[BEN] Hands Hyrule over before pulling out his ocarina and begins softly playing Zelda's lullabye-

[aven] -starts rocking hyrule in her arms-

[hyrule] -slowly calming down now-

[BEN] Keeps playing-

[hyrule] -falls asleep in aven's arms-

[BEN] Lets the music dwindle away before lowering the instrument-

[aven] -quietly- I think it's time to put hyrule in his crib

[BEN] - Just no more water

[aven] hyrule is already clean

[BEN] - No more water ever...

[aven] if hyrule likes water then sooner or later he is going to want to swim

[BEN] - NOOOOOO!

[aven] shush you will wake hyrule.

[BEN] Whimpers-

[aven] there will be water in hyrule's future but not drowning

[BEN] Growls- No water, ever!

[aven] -is already starting to bring hyrule upstairs- it's not just your decision

[BEN] - Watch me!

[aven] -is already halfway across the hallway upstairs-

[BEN] Grumbles-

[snake] -he is on the edge of the stairs- hyrule needs baths ben.

[BEN] - No he doesn't... Neither do I...

[snake] you both do -kazoos at him-

[BEN] - Bath's are over-rated!

[snake] even aven knows when to keep her self clean.

[BEN] Growls-

[snake] -kazoos at ben because he growled-
