Pix clutched his hand to its chest, he pressed hard against the skin and counted his heartbeat.
Breathe in, one, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, one, two, three, four, five. Breathe in, one, two, three, four, five. Breathe out, one, two, three, four, five. Ok, you’re fine.
It opened his eyes and the walls were back to where they were supposed to be. 
He took a deep breath in through its nose and out through its mouth a few times before he pushed off the wall and steadied himself. 
“Ok,” he whispered, “Walls are fine, you’re fine, let’s go back out, yeah?” 
It smoothed out the wrinkles in his pants and pushed the door open, going back out into the main med bay.

i am, fucking in love with your ocs. tell me more about the oh seas crew?
oh ho ho, you have no idea what youve done >:)
(heres what they all look like <2)
so first of all, this story takes place about 30-35 years after my other one, so there's a few easter eggs. like archie and kaya both knowing robert (spence's brother) and talking about echo and nyks. i just feel like that's important to state here
putting the rest of this under the cut because its going to get long
there's two main ships in the story, archie's and kaya's. they used to be co-captains but they went through Shit and it changed them both enough to where they weren't good for each other anymore.
kaya and archie are a really interesting dynamic to me bc they've been married three times and two of the divorces were jokes. the last one was bc kaya almost killed archie by. lighting him on fire. but before the Shit they were pretty much inseparable. i'm talking people woulnd't recognize archie without kaya or kaya without archie.
after the Final Divorce, kaya left the ship and took ryn and pix with him. pix is one of my favorites but he's a pretty horrible creature. it's like a fucked up scientist but cooler bc he has horns. he used to do silly experiments on beau, but then archie took him and scratch onto his ship. ryn is a little more complicated, but i love them just the same, maybe a little more if im being honest. he's like. unhealthily attached to kaya to the point where he would put his life in danger if it meant kaya didn't get a small injury. its also pretty close with pix, but more in the sense that they work together and have had to put up with three divorces and also three weddings (all more complicated than the last)
there's other people on kaya's ship too, bc no way can the three of them keep anything running, but nobody of note here. they dont have official names yet bc im still working out some kinks in the outline
in archie's ship, he's got a few more people of note. torren, holden, trinket, scratch, beau, chrys, silas, and imogen. only torren and trinket were with him for the Divorce, but they all know about it. chrysanthemum (chrys for short), silas and imogen are triplets who were run out of their hometown, trinket is a marinething, torren is like archie's ryn (but less brutal), holden is kinda pix-esque (in the sense that he's a medic and sometimes goes a little overboard) beau and scratch are the Main Guys (well not beau but he is to me) who archie basically kidnapped from kaya's ship and took in as his own. he's closer with scratch though
trinket is one of my beloveds, it's so...*holds so so gently* basically, a marinething is something that i put in my wip bc i wanted something like a mermaid but not like a mermaid. you get it. its about the size of an orca (i think i have a post of what they can look like somewhere on tumblr, i'll have to check) and stays close to the ship. for obvious reasons, it can't go onto the ship, but it learned to communicate with the crew. it named itself and also came up with a last name (scarrow). it likes to collect small trinkets (woah i wonder how it chose its name) it finds and has a small space to keep them on the ship. marinethings have hands, but there's webbing between the fingers. theres subspecies, some of them have tails and some have legs, some flippers and some tentacles. trinket has a tail, so no land for it.
the triplets are inchestering to me, mostly silas bc hes the Main Guy of the three of them. silas is the youngest of them (by a few minutes but still) but he's been the one to protect them all. he's pretty much in love with scratch and would follow her anywhere if it would let him. chrys is the cook, but they're not the best at it. imogen kinda just does everything, she's good like that. chrys and holden are together a lot bc the kitchen is right next to holden's room. imogen is pretty tight with torren since they both keep the ship floating and silas is close with scratch
torren is the first-mate. she keeps everyone alive and sane (though it is hard). she was with archie through all his time with kaya and...she hates kaya with the entirety of her being. she and ryn were pretty close at one point, but after the Shit they drifted apart and now they'd kill each other on sight.
scratch and beau are...so dear to me <2 scratch's name is actually isadora, but kaya gave it to her so she just stopped answering to it and let the crew chose her name. they chose scratch bc of the very large scar across its face. she's pretty much adopted archie as her mentor (NOT her dad though, very important to it that people know that) and will take charge of the ship once hes too old to do it. it's very protective of beau bc of the Stuff they went through on kaya's ship (that nobody knows about except them), so the slightest hint of him freaking out sends her into Kill First Questions Never mode. beau is. my sweetest boy. he's mostly quiet and the only reason he seems so sweet is bc hes been through too much to stand up for himself :( but! he is very soft and can read scratch like a fucking book. they're basically ride or die unless it has to do with kaya, in which case beau will not go anywhere but his room.
one thing abt beau though is that he is my special boy and has never done anything wrong ever <2
the magic system is basically the same as in my other wip but not many on any of the ships have magic. trinket has abilities bc of its being another species, but other than that there's not much to note. torren's mood might affect the waves a bit, but everyone ignores it and they havent tipped over yet. and if scratch should've died a few near-death experiences ago that can be ignored too because surely she'd have told them if it was immortal, right?
archie is. like a feral cat who used to live with an old lady but then the old lady died and he had to fend for himself for a few years until a kid noticed him and started to give him bits of their food but never actually did anything about him and eventually stopped giving him bits of their food. then he got caught by animal control and adopted by a person with a few other cats and is actually pretty chill now if you ignore the random bits of rage and energy. but a dog. he's got fangs (<2) and talks like his nose was broken a lot and never set quite right and oh yeah he's missing an eye. doesn't bother him much as long as nobody comes up on that side and he's ignoring it as hard as he can (it bothers him a lot)
if kaya's a bit of a witch, i wouldn't hold it against him. nothing too big or flashy, just a little hex here and there. a curse on isadora to prove to it that she'll always be alone, sure (its more tethering the equivalent of a demon to her soul). does archie sometimes feel like he's being watched? pretty much always. but that's hardly kaya's fault that archie just leaves pieces of himself everywhere he goes.
ok i think thats it for now, thank you so much for the ask! i had a lot of fun typing this out :)

Many More!
Good morning!  We've got another post packed with IBKC alumni updates today -- nine kittens total!  It's always kind of shocking seeing how mature some of our kittens are. I still think of our babies as being babies, and it doesn't seem possible that so many of them are now entering the "senior" cat stage! We've always been lucky to find such amazing families for our kittens -- it's so clear in all of these update photos that we've been sharing how happy and well-loved our these former IBKs are. Thank you for taking such good care of them! Charles Laurent Gibson  Hi Laurie!  Here's an update on Finne Amir Charles Laurent Gibson Hamilton Hammerstrom, the 150th IBKC kitten. Finne somehow grows more lovey and more silly every day. It took more than a year for him to grow into his floofy pants but, now that he's all of five years old, he seems to have reached max floof. Charlene Butterbean must have planted some fluffy kitten seeds into his grooming sessions. We call him "Vegas showgirl" due to how fancy glam he is with those yellow-green eyes, toe hawks, and his feathery tail. He used to adore bouncy balls and playing fetch but he switched to an obsession with sparkle balls and rounds of racing up and down the stairs at least twice a day. He literally flies down the stairs when chasing Viggo around. He and Viggo (also adopted from The Humane Society For Tacoma and Pierce County) are the dearest friends and adore each other more than we could have imaged. Finne is excellent at making himself available for petting whenever you're hard at work and he never met a yoga mat that he didn't like. He's taken car trips to Western Montana and Oregon, but prefers to be at home to birdwatch or lounge on the porch in his bright green harness. Finne is a little shy with visitors and will sit at the top of the stairs peering down at guests, sometime for hours, before he'll come down for pets. Where Viggo appreciates all guests and will happily hold a foster kitten down for snuggles and bath time, Finne takes a while to warm up. Once he does, he invites the fosters for constant racing, which the kittens adore. Compare his recent pics to this video from when he was smaller (http://youtu.be/rRALn2e3n94) and not a floof to be found. We're so happy he's our little orange fizz! Aimee  
____________________  Warren, Pippy, and Gaetano Fortunato They are my best buddies and I love them beyond belief. They still have all their individual quirks...and still quite playful. Gaetano going out this summer...he's good and stays close. Warren is still the wanderer, so we're trying to leash train him. Have had a few adventures thru the woods as he doesn't much care for paths! Pippy is a sweetheart, albeit chunky, we're working on that...they all still act like they are always starving! These Fortunatos have enriched my life these past 8 years!!! Mindy
________________________ Clovis and Rupert Ashby Hey there, Laurie.  Hope you're doing well. I'm really excited to hear all of the updates from other parents. Here's a little update on Rupert and Clovis. Favorite hobbies - Clovis: Sniffing dad's eye in the middle of the night, then drooling on it and running away. Plotting his escape from the vet's office (photo attached). Playing stand-in for a computer monitor (photo attached). Tub-sharking - Clovis will circle the claw foot bathtub when we're taking showers - all you can see is this black body, tail straight up, circling the tub through the shower curtain. Favorite hobbies - Rupert: Leaving mom a scrunchie on the front door rug for when she gets back from walking Kona each morning (maybe it's for Kona, not me!). Being carried around the house by his mom (pic attached). Sneak-attacking dad's lap - seriously, sometimes we do not see him climb onto Ken's lap, and Ken doesn't feel him, but all of a sudden there he is. It's kind of creepy! Some of my favorite times with them are my work-at-home days when I set up shop in the dining room. Clovis thinks my priorities are a bit askew (work vs love-Clovis-time), as he likes to park it right in front of my monitor during conference calls with our CEO. Rupert feels the same way, but climbs up my arm, head-bonks me, then gets all his fuzz in my face. All in all, we're thankful every day for the laughter and love they bring us. They're each completely hilarious and have developed such unique personalities. We're so glad we found you 8 years ago, Laurie! Kendra
_______________________________ Louise and Ambrose Anderson-Erickson My favorite story about these two is how we adopted them: we knew we wanted Louise and were certain we didn’t want Augustus, then named Ambrose, because we didn’t want a longhaired cat. But, we had a rule—the cats were going to choose us. Louise immediately came to Iris and before I knew it Ambrose hopped in my lap and started chewing on my thumb. And that was that. Fast forward seven years and these two remain a bonded pair and help make our house a home. William
_________________________ Lambert O. Lively Hi Laurie, Here are some pix for the IBKC alumni special edition! Birdie is from the Lively clan and is my big loved baby. He's 7 or 8 now and doing great. He is so goofy, especially compared to his brother Percy who is a very serious Snowshoe boy. As you can see from the pix, he's a love bug and such a joy. We are eternally grateful to IBKC! Nance
THANK YOU so much for sharing your kittens with us! It warms my heart so to see these sweet faces and hear your stories. We'll be winding up the updates soon -- I think I can fit the last of them in one more post.  And I need to share Joseph and Henry's adoption tale, too.  OH, and there will be kittens to introduce!   YES, KITTENS!  Have a great weekend!  See you Monday! from The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com/2017/08/many-more.html

whumpcember day 14
@whumpcember​
prompt: shaking
warnings: needle (not used)
characters: silas, kaya, ryn, pix
310 words
---
The table shook from Silas’ leg bouncing. He stared at it, watching as the inkwell wobbled from side to side. The door opened and he looked up.
Someone walked in and let the door slam behind them, they had blue hair and a scar all across their face, reaching from their forehead to their chin. This must be Kaya. 
“Where’s Scratch?” he asked immediately. 
Kaya scoffed, “Scratch. I hate that name. I gave it a perfectly good name and now everyone calls her Scratch.” 
Silas stared at him, eyes boring into his skull, “Where is she?” 
He sighed and shook his head in disappointment. “You’d think you’d have more self preservation. Y’know, since you’re the one trapped in the ship where you don’t know anyone.” he took a seat in front of Silas and tilted his head. “She’s fine. Just went back to the ship, if you really want to know.” 
Silas frowned. 
“Oh, don’t worry, it didn’t leave willingly.” He crossed his legs and sighed, “So. Who are you? Her boyfriend?” 
Silas scoffed, “Boy? Most of the time. Friend? Last time I checked. Boyfriend? No way in hell.” 
Kaya pursed his lips and nodded to himself. He took a deep breath and stomped on the floor once before standing up. 
The door opened again and two people walked inside the room. One carried a big needle and the other a chain. 
“Easy or hard way, your choice,” said the one with the chain. 
The one with the needle smiled and took a step forward, “I’d prefer the easy way.” 
Silas took one look at the needle and closed his eyes, “I’ll do whatever. Just get that thing away from me.” 
The one with the needle frowned, but took a step back. Silas felt metal wrap around his wrists and the heavy weight of the chain drop to the ground.

whumpcember day 5
@whumpcember
prompt: seperated
warnings: cursing
characters: ryn, pix, kaya
355 words
---
Ryn stands with its arms crossed, they glare out into the crowd, eyes fixated on Kaya. Pix stands behind him, he can hear its worried muttering and can practically see it fidgeting. They take a deep breath and close their eyes for a moment before opening them again. He scans the sea of people, looking for Kaya’s familiar blue hair, but can’t see him anywhere in the crowd.
It shakes his head and scans the crowd again. When they don’t spot Kaya on their fourth pass through, he grabs Pix’s arm and drags him through the crowd. 
Pix protests loudly, but runs after Ryn, not wanting them to rip its arm off. Ryn makes a path to a very small clearing and finally lets go of Pix. 
He hisses and pulls his arm back, rubbing the spot where Ryn was gripping. “Look at what you’ve done!” it shouts, “If this bruises-”
“You’re fine,” they interrupt. “Did Kaya tell you where he was going? I lost him.”
Pix stares at them. “I’m sorry?” it asks. “Did you say that you…LOST Kaya?” Ryn nods. “How the fuck do you fucking lose Kaya? He’s got blue fucking hair for fucks sake.” 
His eyes flash with something Ryn can’t quite place and it shakes its head. “I’m sorry.” he takes a few deep breaths and when he opens its eyes again, it smiles softly. “Let’s go find him, shall we?” 
Ryn ignores the small moment where they’re afraid of Pix (because, it’s Pix), and follows it back into the crowd. 
After nearly half an hour of searching, Pix picks up the already too-fast pace. He runs forward and nearly tackles Kaya to the ground. 
“Knew I should’ve brought a rope with me,” Ryn mutters under their breath as they sprint after Pix. 
Kaya shoves Pix off of him and stands with his arms crossed in front of himself. “I told you to stay put.”
Ryn sputters, hands gesturing to something, “I couldn’t find you.” 
Kaya rolls his eyes and turns away, waving for them to follow behind. Ryn stares as Pix follows quickly behind, nearly stepping on Kaya’s heels.
