Interesting... the serum seems like quite the marvel of science if it can do so many things. How did it affect the bots? Barley in particular?

"Ah, I do adore the recognition of my efforts. Truly.

I believe Barley would like to answer that second topic. (You should see his 'subtle' hints.) Thus, I'll let him take center stage, Anon."

...

"Wonderful question!"

"A Robot's element can be rounded out with other abilities. Darryl and Nani (to some people's surprise) can bulk themselves up and take a hefty hit.

Rico and I can heal ourselves in different ways, and so on and so forth.

Just like non-metallic Brawlers, it all comes down to personality."

"I can manifest bottles with either searing liquids or delicious healing tonic for my allies. Quite the handy ability, for both a brawler and a bartender!"

Biggest fear? Probably zombie apocalypses. They're the number one thing in my nightmares-

"I hear that stress does a number on the mind. I'd offer you a pastry, hon, but sugar makes things worse.

I'd advise preparation. Have you considered learning how to handle a range of guns? I can give you a few lessons~

...By the way, I appreciate your candid response! Not a lot of folks around here like to open up. Can you believe that?"

[townsfolk-triad]

byron, how does the serum work? like do the non human brawlers like ruffs or crow take it as well?

"Have I piqued your interest?" He asked with a hint of delight on his face.

He was right in the middle of giving his pet snakes their feeder mice when he saw this, so he continued to take his time on finishing said task.

Once Tox and Ton were nice and full, Byron went to go wash his hands. He dried them, and then sat down.

Then, Byron begun to speak.

"While I won't reveal everything about the Serum, I will still give you a general rundown. The Serum is what makes a Brawler a Brawler, so yes. Everybody does take it. It gives us the ability to heal quickly, as well as gradually give us what may be referred to as 'soul powers.'

"Some Brawlers have more changes than others. Our very own dear Piper, for example, gained the power to let herself glide high when she's feeling particularly jovial. You can see this in battle after many accurate shots.

"Crow exhibits more of a physical change. He's a man turned into a... crow, in case you couldn't guess."

Byron looked around subtly.

"If you buy into Starr Park's marketing, Ruffs is a canine alien who happened to land here, nothing more, nothing less. If you're vigilant, you might hear whispers among the crowd that he's actually an old military dog who was picked up and given the serum. In other words, a complete reversal to what Crow is; an animal turned into a man."

The snake owner's gaze sharpened. "The Higher Ups were playing around with the extent of what my creation can do, and Squeak and Eve came from his altered DNA."

He sighed softly and adjusted himself in his seat. "Only baseless rumors, of course, ones of which you didn't hear from me."

Hello! I was wondering how old all of you are? If you don't mind asking, of course!

"I believe I possess the equivalent knowledge of a human in their late 40s to early 50s, however, as a Robot who is constantly learning about experiences, I'm... nowhere near that age. Perhaps one day.."

~

"My turn to ask you a personal question~! Hmm, what's your biggest fear?"

#brawl stars #brawlstars #piper #barley #byron #ask #bs #doodles #byron doesn't stop info dumping about the serum so i see him as ~44 #which would make Belle 47 (and Gray 40) #but that's a rough age range- not set in stone. #anyway please note the different ways i wrote the townsfolk's dialect.

[townsfolk-triad]

Oh?

Oh???

"What a pleasant surprise seeing you here, R-T!

What a warm welcome too... Of course, you needn't worry about what I do! It's not like I was trying to elude you. Trust me! ♡

Byron on the other hand... hee hee! Just kidding."

"I... lost?...

That doesn't seem right at all."

"You gave your best fight, Lady Piper. Shelly's a formidable opponent. In any battle, it seems."

"Yes, yes, congratss! We can't all be winners in this world, Piper. Not even in this Trio. You cost us a Townsfolk Sweep, Dear."

"Give your lingo parroting a break, Byron. It's so unbecoming."

"Right. As unbecoming as whining about losing is on you."

"I seem to recall all of us agreeing this popularity contest is frivulous. Casting our votes would be for fun. Now you two are both squabbling over it. The most unbecoming, I'd say."

"........"

"........"

"I also recall beating my own opponent by the largest margin, eh, Byron?"

"Oh, that's right~ Squeak giving you troubles, Byron?"

"Laugh it up, laugh it up. Hope we don't face off in Round Two, Barley. For your sake."

[townsfolk-triad]

Piper blinked.

"I want you to be Colette," she told her with a light smile.

The lady picked her arm with the basket up, and looked down as Colette reacted to that.

"I got you something, my dear. For you and your trio." She put the bat plush on the counter so Colette can scan it whenever she got the chance, and reached into the basket.

Three tasty cupcakes stored safely in a tin, all Halloween themed.

One was chocolate, and emulated a tombstone. A sugary, skeletal hand was popped out, and a miniature chocolate tree completed the image.

One was red velvet, and looked like a murder scene. Red topping flowed down sharp, clear shards of candy glass and cascaded over white frosting.

The last one was a pumpkin cupcake, with green frosting and odd bits and pieces sticking out, like a bat wing, an eyeball, a spider. It's a Witch's brew!

Piper placed it on the counter as well, looking at Colette expectantly.

"You get first pick, Colette. Which one's your favorite?"

The giftshop's bells rung when a certain blonde baker walked into the store.

Piper hummed a delightful little Halloween tune as she made her way through the store.

She carried a basket of sweets at hand and looked over the cute and spooky Halloween decor. She was heading straight to the counter... but then a delightful little bat knick-knack did catch her eye. She stopped at an aisle, picking up the critter decoration.

How adorable!

The bell ringing alerted the cashier to hide her scrapbook and wait until the customer came to the counter.Whenever Colette was alone in the giftshop, she would be doodling or writing fanfics of other brawlers as a way to kill time without her boss knowing that she isn’t on task. Thanks to spooky month there are more things to do, like decorating the giftshop or doing things with her friends, like jack-o-lanterns, but she has already decorated the store, she’s working at the moment and the prank of the year can’t be prepared while at work, so all left to do is to estimate how long it’ll take to prepare it when the time comes.

#Piper #Colette #I'm xD #Now im just thinking of shrek #(pretending it's still halloween)

[townsfolk-triad]

As soon as Piper felt that the bat ornament was a soft and slightly heavy plush, she knew she was going to buy it.

Halloween was splendid. Spooky pastries were always a blast to decorate! Shame it only came once a year, unless somebody wanted a creepy cake for a sporadic reason in the middle of the year. Those were silly.

She turned to make way for the counter again, and saw one of the teens at the register, staring straight at her. "Oh!"

Piper quickly placed the gourd-wearing worker as Colette. The horns jutting out of the pumpkin was an easy giveaway. She's dressed up!

The sniper smiled in amusement and arrived at the check out center with the bat at hand.

"Hello. I'm talking to Edgar, aren't I?" She jested lightly.

Well ya se-

Falls

3 small rats emerge from the coat

Told ya we shoulda just shut up!

Jeez not like I-

…

RUN!

AND DON’T LET ANYONE CATCH YA.

Barley blinked as he watched the trio of little critters scurry off. What just--?

Were those rats? Actual talking rats? The poor bot could only muster confusion, not even disgust as anyone would consider the norm for any establishment owner... or anyone who lived in Starr Park.

(Of course there ARE talking dogs and birds, and sentient, organic lifeforms that shouldn't be sentient, but... um, well, this was different, somehow. Barley was sure of it.)

Oh, just wait until Ash hears about this.

If he wasn't the one who trained those rats to talk in the first place??

#Brawl Stars #Barley #Ask #//Super late <3 #but what else is new with me? #anyway i hope you guys like the revamp!

[townsfolk-triad]

So that's how everything led up to this moment.

Byron had the essentials he needed packed up in his kit on his back. Everything for sample collecting, testing, a few basic ingredients...

He ran through a mental checklist as he locked the entrance to his store. If need be, he could pick anything else he required from the Biodome. He was sure that Rosa wouldn't complain, even if she weren't compromised at the moment. Bea said it was possible to leave anyway, so--

"Closing for the day, honey, or have you finally filed for bankruptcy?"

Byron finished locking up before turning around. "Oh, Piper. Still holding onto that silly assumption of yours? Obviously, the answer is the former option."

Piper placed a hand to her cheek. "Oh, but you usually lament over every penny lost. What's so important that you'd willingly miss out on fifteen dollars?"

"My dear, you haven't heard?" Byron looked at her, 'surprised.'

The Southern belle put a hand on her hip. "Heard what?"

"The Biodome and its current patrons are in peril. Here I thought you were always up to date..." Byron shook his head in disbelief.

"Why, of course, I've heard about that." Piper tsked. Oh, that man was doubly as irksome today, wasn't he?

"Then, you should know where I'm headed." He shrugged, then began to walk off. His cane tapped against the streets as he stepped away.

Piper fell into pace beside him, far from done with her interrogation. "Oh, so they're paying you handsomely, is that it?"

"I'm appalled at you, Piper." Byron said. He couldn't believe it actually slipped his mind to inform Bea about his prices. She should know his services wouldn't be free, but he wouldn't be surprised if the scientist thought he was performing charity work. Byron cleared his throat. "Is it really so difficult to believe that I have 'common decency?'"

"Hmm..." Piper smiled, putting a finger to her chin as she pretended to really think about that question. There was some little hint there, she knew. "Yes!"

Byron looked ahead with a curling smile. "It isn't my place to judge if you're simply that heartless."

"Oh, spare me." She chuckled.

"I, am the martyr of this Park." He said, "I understand if you fail to see things the way I do, my dear, but do not mistake your greed for mine."

Byron could be somewhat amusing if he tried. Piper's laugh rung out as they continued walking together.

It took her a minute to regain her composure with one final sigh.

Then she looked up and saw the glass structure of the Biodome not so far away. So he was indeed headed there...

She glanced over at him fleetingly. Deep in thought, staring straight ahead to his destination. He was serious about the situation.

Something personal, perhaps. Or... blackmail? But who could have anything on him?

"Byron! Oh, and hi, Piper!" Bea greeted. She was sitting at a bench.

"Hello," Byron muttered a greeting.

Piper waved. Not blackmail. Incapable of it. "Good afternoon, Bea. I hope you're as well as you could be, given the dreadful situation. I'm so sorry..."

The assistant smiled, feeling a tiny bit better at that. "Thanks, Piper." She looked between the two. "I'm ready to go in when you are, Byron. ...Are you going to join us too, Piper?"

"...I'm afraid not." Piper shook her head. "I'm sorry. I feel unbefitting for this venture. Of course, if you find you need use of my skillset, simply let me know."

Bea nodded. Some relief off her shoulders. It was comforting to be reminded that she wasn't alone. "Thanks so much." She said genuinely.

Piper smiled at her sweetly.

Byron and she exchanged a look.

"You'll succeed." She said, matter of factly.

"I know." he replied.

With curt nods, Byron addressed Bea with a gesture towards the Biodome. "Lead the way."

Piper watched the two disappear into the foliage-themed building.

#Brawl Stars #Hostile Snake-Over 🐍 #Byron #Piper #//two assholes <3 #I guess feel free to send in any more asks now #its biodome time but all three are available now! I'll just.. change the theme later :3

[townsfolk-triad]

Byron hummed after Bea finished the summary of her plight over the last few days. They were in his office, both on opposite sides of his desk. He was sitting in his chair while she had been pacing.

If this were anywhere but Starr Park, and he were anybody but Byron, his head would be reeling. Thankfully, those weren't the cases.

But, there was one thing that bothered him out of all of this.

"So, you came to me as a last resort?"

Byron sighed silently, leaning back. She asked Belle for help first? Clearly, a way to reverse this mess is an anti-serum to what caused their transformation, not brute force or thievery. But he supposed that sneaking out was what Bea was looking for in the first place.

Bea looked at him incredulously, before shaking off that surprise. She felt like making an outcry on that statement wouldn't do well to win him over.

"Well," she answered instead. She felt like a kid in front of a principal. "I didn't want to risk any of the affected Brawlers getting out. Some are nocturnal, some aren't, so it wasn't easy sneaking out. There's a hole in the ceiling, and I think the only reason why none of the others have gotten out is because Belle's been on the lookout. She's not letting anyone past her. " Bea rambled, her anxiousness getting the best of her.

He swiveled his chair to face the side, feeling the loss of interest grow over this case.

"Well, insects are your thing, aren't they? You're a clever gal. You'll figure something out." He said nonchalantly.

The entomologist let her mouth fall open in surprise at his dismissal. And disgust. And she was fed up.

"How could you be such an asshole!?" Bea exclaimed, astounded by how much force was in that outburst. There was so much built up on her side. She hasn't had a chance to let anything out.

Byron was side-eyeing her with a passive look. Eyes just slightly more narrowed than usual. He said nothing.

The audacity to be the one offended! She continued, full force.

"I shouldn't have to be begging you to show some common decency. Rosa and Sprout, and Meg, and Belle, and Mr. P, a-and Edgar, and Rico...." Guilt trailed from her frustrations. "Oh, Gods," she buried her face into her hands. "They're all mutated because of me!..."

Byron blinked.

At the back of his mind, he was glad that Bea wasn't noticing his brief loss of composure, but quickly shoved that down.

He turned his chair to face the wall behind his desk, running through the tale Bea told him.

He knew Edgar had grown to taking with sparring with Rosa, El Primo and Fang, but he didn't think the fondness had grown to participating in the Biodome's grand opening.

And Belle? Since when has she ever shown an interest in learning about natural properties of flora, or even appreciating things like colors and scenery?

Oh, like you know her so well.

...

Byron frowned. How maddening. That one piece of information to truly turn his outlook around. How dreadfully typical.

Here he was, following along with this trite circumstance. At the very least, he could add another tally to the 'inventing another substance for an impossible goal' count.

He swiveled back around to face Bea, who was still treating herself to a mental beatdown.

"Fine, Bea."

"Why did you change your mind?" Bea asked.

The assistant looked up in confusion.

"I'll help you out." He leaned on a hand. One of his fingers tapping impatiently against his cheek. "Are you happy?"

"You've touched my heart," Byron said in the driest tone Bea has ever heard.

She was upset, because he still had the same inconsiderate tone, but she was also confused, because how much truth did his sarcastic statement hold? Since, embarrassingly enough, she was so close to crying in front of him.

It frustrated Bea to have to work with as insufferable as Byron. Nevertheless, she commented nothing further. With how finicky he seemed, it would be in her best interest.

This was for everyone in that Biodome, and she could be a little tough if it meant one step closer to resolving this mess.

#brawl stars #Hostile Snake-Over 🐍 #Byron #Bea #//lowkey i forgot about this storyline until i saw the ivy belle countdown and i am 👀👀👀 #so fucking excited #so i decided to buck up and get this out #So yall get this! #a lesbian talking to a gay

[townsfolk-triad]

To be successful, one should know when to take up responsibility, when to let it lay on the ground, and how to pin it on a different party.

Byron knew how to do all three.

He'd be lying if he said if he didn't enjoy it, though you'd never be able to tell. You see, words were akin to... mixtures. (Pardon the livelihood-specific metaphor.)

He could make mention of his strict parents who brought him along to social events, where he honed his silver tongue and was the start of what crafted him into the man he is today...

Mere drops to garner sympathy.

It was no lie either. Yes, his parents were strict. Yes, social events as a 'bright young man' were his beginning. Did he dislike who he was today, as a whole? Absolutely not.

As for the minute details, deep digging would be needed to secure the facts, but you should have the common sense by that time to know that no matter what words were exchanged between yourself and him, you would never truly uncover what you needed to know. Not unless Byron decided you could have that intel.

In this Park, he could count the amount of people that could hold a light to the mastery of his conversation control on one hand.

His fellow members in his Trio, as a topline example. Mortis himself makes a third. Look at that, he could even count them all on only the fingers that didn’t possess rings. Hilarious.

For all the others, they varied. He didn’t have to put forth much effort for one reason or another. Naiveté, stubborn, they didn’t want to play his games, or even simpler, they were not worth his time. (And for the very rare few, they were on a safe list.)

Today, one of the Brawlers who fit in the naïve category stood before him. She looked absolutely bedraggled, fatigued, and very frazzled.

“Bea,” he smiled, as if nothing were out of the ordinary. If she wanted comforting words, she visited the wrong Townsfolk member. “Welcome. What can I interest you in today?”

She sighed. Her usual bright demeanor wasn’t present. “Have you heard about the Biodome, Byron? Please say you have.”

Oh, this had his name written all over this, didn't it?

#Brawl Stars #Byron #Bea #Hostile Snake-Over 🐍 #//Asks can now be sent in for Byron #but the next two or so posts will be focused on driving a plot forward! #don't worry #i have it planned it out! #..kind of :3 #As for the color coded words...~ #🤭

[townsfolk-triad]

...Don't you think you're making light of the situation?

"I take it you're new around here, Sugar?" Piper asked, "We're Brawlers. There's always one dastardly thing or another happening in the park. Whatever it may be, it's downright impossible to kill us."

It was a matter of fact.

Just because a little bit of gossip is exchanged between her and Bea regularly, or that Rosa would provide and even started to grow a few plants at her request for pastry ingredients didn't change anything about that detail.

Everyone would be involved in one way or another come different Seasons. The couple she was on good terms with (or the rest of the tour group for that matter) was no different.

...

"...Oh, well if you're worrying about it so much.." She sighed, "Perhaps I can check in on the place..."

She contemplated this, and her current state of being. Regardless of her earlier jest, Piper enjoyed not being a mutant.

"Or perhaps, I'll go a step further. I'll seek out a certain salesman and see if he can do anything about this. I'd say it's about time he be pulled out of hiding, wherever he is."

Her mind was made up, and when it was, there was no stopping the sniper.

#Brawl Stars #Piper #Ask #Through The Vineyard 🍇

[townsfolk-triad]

I wonder if Rosa's last lucid thoughts becoming a flower-mantis mutant was "I ****ing told you soー" (I hope the bar stays non-brawler bug free, Barley!!)

"...It sounds like something she would say," Piper placed a hand on her cheek in thought. "It wasn't entirely their decision to open up their labs, according to what Bea told me last time we met up..."

The Southern lady cleared her throat after admitting that. "Although, you know, we are expected to have a certain degree of.. adherence around the park."

Piper felt uneasy, which is something she hasn't felt in some time.

As soon as she realized this, her expression was free from any slip once again. "Thank you, for the bug-free wish. I'll pass your message along, sugar."

Piper sighed. Then she called out to the robot in the back of the bar.

"Barley! I believe I saw something scurry out here!"

"Excuse me!?"

It was only a little difficult to hold her giggles back over her fib.

#Brawl Stars #Ask #Piper #Through the Vineyard 🍇 #//fun fact i hate the word adherence due to it being used as a means of strict regulations in a place i was at once. #therefore starr park higher ups will now use it 🙄

[townsfolk-triad]

Hmmph. You think bugs will be a problem?

Just wait until you hear about the things inside the snowtel walls.

"You know, it isn't polite to gossip." Barley said.

With that said, he opened his eye.

He and Mr. P were on relatively good terms, from one business owner to another, but his curiosity was piqued. What could be worse than bugs?

"So, what is residing within the Snowtel walls?"

#Brawl Stars #Barley #Ask #Weathered Walls ❄ #//You can't tell me he's a part of the Townsfolk Triad AND a Bartender and isn't prone to gossio #..I mean you CAN but i wouldn't agree with you /lh

[townsfolk-triad]

piper barley! What do you two think of the biodome update?

"It's a bug infestation," Barley huffed. "How am I supposed to feel about it?"

Piper laughed. "Barley's upset, because he thinks they'll get into the Bar."

"I'd say being upset is an understatement." Barley shook his head. "What are you even supposed to use in this situation? Fly paper is so unseemly. Bug spray...? Oh, the smell would be horrid. I won't even consider weedkiller."

As Barley continued to fret, Piper giggled. "I think it's lovely that Rosa and Bea finally made their Biodome open to the public. They've always said that it'd be too dangerous for anyone to get into their lab and interact with their experiments... Looks like they were right!"

She laughed again. "And to think, I considered going to the first tour. Could you imagine? I'd be transformed into a bug too."

"A butterfly, no doubt." Barley pointed out her hairclip. "Though I wonder if that means you'd be in a cocoon for some time before emerging."

"...." Piper considered that. "I'd be lying if I said that didn't sound appealing. Could you imagine me with wings~?"

"Lady Piper!" Barley scolded.

"I jest!"

"It's just as well. I wouldn't think it'd look good after scraping you off the walls..."

"Off the walls..?" Piper asked.

"Well," Barley said matter-of-factly. "I'll have a very nice fly swatter special-ordered just for you."

Piper mock-gasped. "You wouldn't even keep me as the first addition to your new butterfly collection?"

"Heavens, no." Barley said. "That'd be odd. However, I may keep the flyswatter in your memory."

"Now that's odd!" Piper laughed. "You'd display the murder weapon of one of your dearest friends!"

"With respect," Barley tutted. "You mustn't undermine my efforts to preserve your dignity. Even if you were a mutant creature in your last moments."

"A very dignified and graceful mutant creature," Piper corrected solemnly.

The two nodded seriously, before breaking into a playful fit of laughter.

Piper sighed as they calmed down after a while. "Now, half-seriously..." she said, smoothing out her dress. "I would have thought that if ever there were an apocalypse of some kind, Byron would be in at least partial blame for it. Where is he, anyhow?"

"Hmm," Barley hummed. "I couldn't give you an answer. It's been a day or three since I've seen him, now that I think about it."

"Strange," Piper frowned. This really only rose questions for her. "Not out of character, I suppose, but strange."
