my favorite thing abt futuristic sci-if shows set in fugkin 2514 is like,,,they have everything we have also. like do they have warp speed and silly phasers and teleportation and space wars? yes,,,but they also have weezer and spn and the littlest pet shop show and the concept of furbys. they have all our shit also

I was browsing the American Girl doll website the other day looking at something to get my niece for her birthday and I saw one of the girl of the years for the 80’s and 90’s and I got a flashback to that one ask about the reality tv show that NB and Rockstar!eddie could have had, and eddie’s reaction to the 70’s historical one, could you imagine them going with their grandchildren or something and Eddie having a cow about the 80’s and 90’s and Nepobaby is just like, “let’s maybe just go to build-a-bear so grandpa doesn’t pop a blood vessel today”

omfg not the 80s and 90s ones. american girl doll is so lethal. wasn't there one about the challenger explosion?

i think rockstar!eddie and children's toys throughout the years would just make his head spin. definitely has a geezer "back in my day" moment. but also the evolution of toys? he really got to experience it first hand because the girls are so spread out.

a tamagotchi was the beginning because "it's not real, sephy, it can't die it's not alive. it's a game. a game."

furby scared the shit out of him and reminded him of the gremlins movie. "kensie cried for a week straight because she killed a lady bug but has this in her room?"

really didn't like polly pocket much either because they were always just thrown in the floor, and stepping on them??? those sharp ass arms and hands??? but it was less messy than an easy bake.

was a huge fan of a lite brite and zahra used to play with it all the time. he loved them but there was always a piece missing so he kept having to go get more.

sephy was a barbie fan, kensie liked polly pockets, the twins liked the barbies that were like fairytopia/ special kind of ones, zahra was not a big doll fan until american girl dolls (because they had cool stories and backgrounds and stuff), and vega was ofc a monster high doll fan.

by the time vega was born, toys were so digitalized but he did make the mistake of getting her zhu zhu pets (the robotic hamsters?) and she did in fact get it stuck in kensie's hair because sicily and sienna told her to.

Sir Pentious headcanons because I am cringe but I am free

fair warning this is gonna be long because the autism is peak RN and i am increasingly sleep deprived, ENJOY!!!

He is half indian half british

Was white passing and his face was covered in moles and birthmarks 

He was an orphan boy who worked in a textile mill as a kid

He got out of the textile life when a mechanic was looking for a new apprentice. Sir Pentious wasn't the first choice but runner up, and willing to do anything, he shoved the kid that was gonna be chosen into a machine that ripped their hands off. The kid being unable to work anymore, Sir Pentious was chosen.

As a teenager he was drafted into the army, he was never unable to climb ranks 

He died from lead poisoning (that’s why he is a poisonous snake, get it? Poisonous? Lead poisoning? I’ll see myself out) 

Sir pentious wasn't a sir in life, he only got that title in hell

All his shirts are button ups because he cant fit anything over his frill 

The egg bois are basically furbys 

All the egg bois do have names, given to them when they were first invented, but they never get called by their names. They barely remember because they have the memory of a worm 

Sir Pentious makes food hate crimes, not on purpose but still

The first time Alastor made jambalaya Sir Pentious started crying because the air was too spicy for him

Yes he has the worst pallet in the world (i mean ofc he’s british/j) 

This dude will be happy just eating bread from the bag for dinner

He was never married in life 

I know the son was a throw away line, but like what if? He had one? Out of wedlock?

MF is so old fashioned about romance 

He has autism because i said so

User vobomon has the theory that Sir Pentious has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, i agree

When he sheds (it’s biannually) he hides for like a few weeks until everything grows back (the scales on the ends of his frill are the first to fall out and take the longest to grow in) 

He’s not inept at slang but he knowledge dose stop at 2007

Angel tried to pull an updog with Pentious but it failed and Angel was about ready to strangle the man on site 

(played out like:

Angel: he pen, smells like up dog in here no?

Pentious: smells like what?

Angel: up dog.

Pentious: what is this, up dog you speak of?

Angel: you know, up dog.

Pentious: no, i do not know what this up dog is, what is it?

*it carried out for like five minutes of this back and forth*)

He watches people sleep because he saw to many of his friends die in his former life (living on the streets and all) so he keeps a close eye on his new friends out of habit 

He and Niffty are banned from the coffee pot 

His egg bois were trained on lucky charms 

Charlie is is best friend in the whole wide world (they even have friendship bracelets to seal the deal)

Nifty used to leave the mice she caught in front of Pentious’s door for hime, they were asked to stop and now treat it like a drug deal 

Was really good at holding down his alcohol, gotten soft over the years

Both his fangs are sweet fangs

Once ate an entire container of sprinkles in front of the others

Man can and will choke on water 

He’s got the immune system of a victorian child (ie gets sick like once every other week)

He paints his claws 

Skills he learned living in hell: sewing, baking, computer science, rocket science, speaking indian and french, anthropology degree, book binding, toxicology 

Parrots slang he hears even if he doesn't know what it is 

(ie: Vaggie: I am about to kill Angel if he doesnt shut up.

Pentious: oh! Is this your villain era?) 

Stims by flapping his hands and frill 

He need chewelry or he will gnaw on his hands 

His hat is not alive, it acts like necomimi

Is immune to exhaust fumes at this point

Discovered hyperpop and scares Angel Dust when he tries to get the radio to play songs he actually knows and likes 

In his early years of having the egg bois he would eat eggs in front of them to scare them when he was upset at them, they never caught on because, well they are the egg bois 

Is a cat person

Runs a youtube channel where he swings between building tutorials and gossip commentary he’s got five followers and four of them are the egg bois and each video will rake up about 20 views 

He and emily are best friends (also with friendship bracelets) and they are like sugared up three year olds together 

They warrior cats roleplay together because let me have this

He goes around saying he kins victor frankenstein 

Ate a plastic bag once 

NEW FURBY!!

Their name is Bee-Boh (means "Dancing Machine" in Furbish) and she goes by all pronouns

We got him for 20 Euros because that's how much Furby Booms cost in all toy stores now apparently (in Slovakia, idk about other countries) so that's pretty neat

I love this Furby's colors and pattern, there were a few ones to choose from in the store and me and Kamila (my sister) instantly agreed on getting this one lmao

Anyways here are some facts about Bee-Boh as a character

It likes electronic music and FNaF (ofc because that's my and Kamila's main interests respectively lol)

His favorite song is Cinema (Skrillex remix)

They're generally very hyperactive and loud (she mostly has either the "rocking" personality or the "hyper" personality)

It hasn't met most of our other Furbys yet because we're on vacation rn and only took a few of them with us, but he is very excited to see them, especially the other Furby Booms

I would like to bill you for the next few years worth of my therapy sessions after reading how we break. I live in the US so healthcare coverage is shit.

Ok but for real tho my heart broke for y/n and everyone involved. Nobody was a bad person, it was just a situation where heartbreak was inevitable. But like, at least toji still has someone, but y/n lost everyone. And poor Megumi, just a kid, but he hates seeing someone he loves leaving and the guilt he feels for something that’s not his fault—

That ending was perfect though, because like, the most unlikely element to this angsty, sorrowful story is GOJO, the human furby with a larger than life personality, making an appearance, and yet it’s weirdly perfect?? Does gojo know right away that y/n is the one? Does he approach her right away while she’s discussing her breakup with her ex (an objectively bad decision but one that is also in character w him). How does their relationship start? How do they grow closer and fall in love?? Sorry for bombarding you with questions!!

GENUINELY CRYINF WHEN YOU MENTIONED US COVERAGE AHDJWKLE HELPP

but thank you so so much for liking the fic!!

and yes!! it’s a shit situation that pitted two people whose love are just vastly different.

toji loved you, but his love ran out. and you love him, but it’s a love not meant to be.

the relationship was beautiful and your time as a family with megumi is a blessing in its own right, but it ended and that’s that.

megumi, himself, would know what it meant losing you. he may be young and his mom may have returned, but when neither of his biological parents were there to take care of him, you filled in the spaces.

megumi may not be your blood but you loved him as dearly, and no one will ever take that from megumi.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

and yes!!! gojo’s appearance is much needed!

i am SCREAMING at you calling gojo a fucking long furby fuck i think i have a pic of that hold on-

okok op said no repost so i can’t repost ofc but here’s the link pls give a like to the beauty of long furby gojo hdhshsnab

satoru would not know you are the one, mostly because he does not know what love is. no one’s ever taught him what love is or even showed him love.

friendship is different because, yeah, he wants to hang out with you the same way he feels for suguru and shoko but he doesn’t want to smash his lips on theirs. i mean he experimented with them, sure, but he never felt such a strong pull as he does with you.

his heart had beat so fast when he saw you, but he doesn’t know why. and when gojo satoru doesn’t know what the fuck is going on in his body, he does what any normal person wouldn’t do: he goes to the damn hospital.

suguru tells him he’s got a crush but gojos don’t get crushes (they’re not allowed to) so satoru doesn’t listen to him and visits the doctor. suguru and shoko are there for support (and to tell him “i told you so” when the dr marks his heart burn as love sickness), and as always, suguru and shoko are right and satoru’s wrong.

satoru, in all his shining white haired menace glory, doesn’t know how to cope.

but that’s fine. it’s to his stumbling affection that you both relearn what love is. together.

ok but back to answering your ask:

￫ when he met you at the diner, he actually does approach you. it’s more of a “hi, what’s your name?” situation that kickstarted his crush.

￫ he usually lacks social cues (blame the way of his upbringing) but he’s also not dense. he knows you and toji are going through something.

￫ also, shoko and suguru are his voices of reason. they help him through his feelings for you.

to be honest, i was going to leave how yn and satoru’s relationship started to the readers but here’s a vague rundown of what i imagine (it doesn’t have to be this way, it’s just what i think happened):

￫ after the scene in the diner, it takes a month before you two meet again. you meet at the cafe close to jujutsu high.

￫ it was afternoon, satoru’s classes have long ended and his friends have departed for the day when you came in, eyes studying the shop in amazement.

￫ satoru freezes from where he sat, throat immediately parched even as he’s sucking on his milkshake.

￫ you meet his eyes. for a moment, satoru’s afraid that you wouldn’t recognize him but then you send a smile his way and satoru feels sweetness flood him whole. it was far better than all the desserts he just devoured.

￫ you were about to walk to a different table when satoru beckons you to his. when you sat down and exchanged greetings, he helps you order. it’s a secret menu option, one that you absolutely liked.

￫ he asks you why you’re in the area. you tell him you were just looking around, but in reality you were there because you do not want to go home and you do not want to return to the diner. satoru knows you are lying but he does not probe.

￫ this is how you guys start meeting. once a week, you come to the shop, smiling every time you see satoru waiting for you.

￫ sometimes suguru and shoko are there, sometimes it’s just the two of you. either ways, it’s always fun hanging out with satoru.

￫ once, satoru asked if you want to do something else other than eat at the cafe, but he’s still in school and you do not want any scandals or issues so you say no. satoru reluctantly agrees, thus you two spend the year in the tiny cafe, trying out all their menus and secret menus.

so you see, life with satoru was mundane but not boring. he craved normalcy (craved what it is to live just to live, and to love just to love) and he found it in you. the humanity coursing though your veins ground him, and satoru realizes that he’s never felt more alive until he met you.

in a prev ask, i answered that this is how you will know you are in love. and you will not regret confessing to him.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

AAHHH NO DONT BE SORRY FOR THE LONG ASK!! I ENJOY READING YOUR BRAINWORMS AND RESPONDING TO THEM!!!

i dont know if ive managed to answer your questions right, but hopefully i did!!

random jjk hcs ☁︎

characters; yuji, megumi, nobara, yuta, inumaki, junpei, maki, panda, satoru, suguru, mahito (derogatory)

content; headcanons

warnings; none

word count; 1.2k

Yuta loves tea and drinks a lot of green tea because it helps him stay awake. He has very precise recipes with carefully measured amounts of milk, lemon, honey, or sugar, and loves making them for his friends whenever they feel bad. He started and sort of picked it up as a side hobby, and now it's sort of his passion. He has a tea for everything and is in his element whenever his friends have a scratchy throat. Loves sharing his knowledge with friends and always brings tea

Junpei has decently popular Tumblr blog

Yuji is the 'im not cold tho?' kid who walks around in shorts and t-shirt in January

Megumi feels comforted by the smell of clean clothes and books

Junpei's favorite food is tacos and pizza, and he eats latter with pineapple.

Yuji is extremely good at just dance, mainly bc he knows a lot of cheating tricks

Maki does kickboxing

Megumi has an obsession with lemon bonbons and they are the only sweets he eats, but if he always eats them, he eats like three packages in two days.

Yuji can skate, he actually learned to skate a bit in middle school, so he knows like a few tricks

Megumi finds intelligence attractive

Junpei picked up magic as a side hobby which is why he knows a few card tricks

Yuji always cries at the sad part in movies, they don't even have to be that sad, but the music does it for him most of the time anyway

junpei draws and is pretty good at it

Nobara is deep into astrology and says stuff like, "ofc you wouldn't know. You're a pisces" to Yuji and he really doesn't understand what that means. She's also obsessed with mbtis and types everyone

megumi is into poetry and philosophy and has a few books on philosophical theories and history

Yuji really likes banana bread

Junpei has a coffee addiction, and often buys iced coffee before and after school, even though it actually started with pure black Coffee, and he can somehow drink it without sugar

Yuji has a passion for shit conspiracy theories and knows concerningly much on the topic, he started watching YouTube videos about it bc he was bored and became addicted, and now is really invested. He can talk about them for hours, and honestly, regardless if it's just dumb shit, the amount of knowledge he holds on it is impressive.

Maki is good at chess and won a tournament in her middle school

Yuji had a Furby which he ended up forgetting about and negletting, leading to it becoming literally demonic, he ended up breaking it to the point it was half dead and the creature in that half-passed away state was the most horrifying thing he had ever seen - even though it was years ago, he still has nightmares about it

You wouldn't expect him to but Toge actually secretly gets everyone christmas presents and they're very personal most of the time too. It's really important for him to look out what would be a good present for someone he knows and find something that suits them - it might be an expression of his affection towards his friends since he can't talk to them as much. The presents are actually really important to him. To him they have deep meaning.

Panda plays GTA and Fortnite and is a really good but aggressive and loud player, spend some money on expensive skins

Megumis favourite season is winter because he likes staying in to read, drinking hot chocolate and the peacefulness in the mornings

Toge listens to gangster-rap and hip-hop

Yuji's passwords are always either anime related or something random he can think of like waffleWarrior300 which is why he always forgets them

Toge lives off iced tea, mainly lemon and peach, and never drinks water which his friends scold him for

Maki enjoys going to the gym a lot and lifts

Megumi enjoys calligraphy, not doing it himself, but he follows a few artists on Instagram and enjoys the calming effect it has on him. He just likes when everything's clean and finds that art form to be calming. Yuji calls it "that fancy writing stuff you always watch on your phone"

Panda and Yuji eat everything with 3× cheese and always get weird stares whenever they order something together

Yuji tried out a dancing class once which, wasn't for him, but bc of that he has a few basic skills and had also always been kinda good at hiphop/breakdance

Inumakis Phone is full of horrendous and, (some really old) memes, his gallery is Literally a treasure of memes and vines and he's always annoying someone with it. He's deep in the meme culture and always is up-to-date with even the newest ones

Inumakis humor is actually elite but a lot of people don't get it - but he's famous on Twitter and has a fair amount of social media following in general

Junpei likes asmr videos and sometimes saves them on his phone so he can watch them offline

Yuji doesn't know what lip balm is and thought Megumi was using chapstick the first time he saw him use it

Megumi actually does make jokes, and is really sarcastic, they're even really good ones because he has good humor, sometimes murdered under his breath and most of the time people just don't notice, so it's really lucky if you catch it once

Yuji eats a lot of fast food and instant Ramen, even though he can cook, which might became a habit but somehow his health doesn't seem affected by it, which might be because he burns abnormally many calories with how fast he can run or maybe because of the curse living inside his body

Maki did ice skating and gymnastics when she was younger and was really good at it, she didn't pursue in it when she started at Jujutsu High, but she could've worked her way up to the Olympics and still has some medals in her dorm.

Gojo wears a sleeping mask which, you could say doesn't make much of a difference to his everyday outfit, but it actually looked hilarious and everyone who saw him with it made fun of him for it

Yuji wears the same pajamas with a dog on it he's had since he was 12, and they're obviously child ones and too small but he still likes them, and he doesn't really see the use of changing clothes when you still 'fit' in them

Junpei is an animal lover and volunteers at an animal shelter

Megumi always wears gloves in winter bc his hands get really cold

They're also sensitive to soaps or the weather which is why he uses lotion on them a lot

Junpei always wanted to try eyeliner but was too scared to do so, once he actually did though he really liked it

Wether you're into astrology or not, Mahito has the worst placements everywhere and the most horrifying combination you can imagine.

Yuji has absolutely no clue about any make-up product and continuously is amazed at the many different things and products Nobara buys, and he's actually really fascinated with 'how complicated make up is'

Megumi likes spicy food but it's nothing in comparison to Yuji. He once ate what was called to be "the spiciest ramen in Japan" and puts hot sauce on literally anything he eats.

Megumi heavily dislikes too oily food and generally prefers healthy food over fast food, he gives Yuji disgusted glares when he's at his weird food combinations again that probably hold the calories for three whole days.

Yuji drinks soy sauce.

Does everyone remember the absolutely filthy furby I got last month? (His original listing photo is at the end of the post for comparison.) After a long makeover, he's finally ready to debut as a whole new furb - Meet Draco!

This poor fella had a lot of issues when I got him. He was not working, and his face was partially ripped off of the robot base and had been hot glued back on. He has also been skinned, and his replacement ziptie was for some reason glued to the bottom of the furby skin. His poor ears had also been glued to his ear bones. Since fixing him or even reattaching him to his robot properly would have been difficult to impossible, I plushified him! Externally, his fur was clumpy and weirdly textured. His ears were colored or dyed pink, and his feet were colored yellow which had bled onto the nearby fur. He was a light brown when I got him, but after the first of numerous baths the brown washed out somewhat and he started showing signs of a failed attempt to dye him purple. The bottom of his fur was also covered in what I initially thought was mud but ended up being clumps of brown paint. After washing out as much as a I could, some nice blue dye and a lot of brushing has restored his fur back to presentability!

His outer faceplate area, eyes and eyelids were messily scribbled on with markers, and his eyelids covered in poorly sealed glitter, which ofc went everywhere. His eyelashes colored unevenly, also presumably with marker. I'm pretty sure whatever "decoration" that was inflicted upon him not done by markers was done by nail polish 💀 I removed what I could and painted over the rest, taking apart his entire face to do so. Overall this has definitely been the most extensive refurbishment I've ever done, but I'm really thrilled with how he came out! 💙

Makoto 🤝 Chihiro

their arms being COVERED in bright colored bracelets

Mondo and his embroidery ❤️ we stan a king

he and Taka have quiet afternoons where they just both do them (either working together or separately) and it’s so nice n softttt??? Comfortable silence ishimondo,,,,,,,,,m love

And Taka with his Rubik’s cubes oh my LORD he probably knows the secrets to most styles!! he can do them pretty quickly, and usually asks someone else to mess it up for him again, but literally give him like a couple of minutes and complete and total silence and BAM there u go

also highkey he could probably solve it with one hand if u asked him to because that’s just,,,,,literally how much of his spare time he’s spent with these damn things dndnsbdbdw

everyone else watches him playing with it like,,,,wow king I am so sorry

he’s also definitely dropped it on the floor of his dorm room bathroom AT LEAST twice, which ended up shattering the tile (and possibly a ball, as well) so he’s just kinda :’)

Sakura 🤝 Makoto

Making bracelets as a coping skill and giving a shit ton of said bracelets to their classmates because they like to see them happy

hdbdvsvdvdv byakuya totally does!!

He hides it in his dorm; nobody must EVER know about it okay if they find out he’ll die. But it’s really really fun to fidget with and he finds himself using it after particularly taxing or rough days!!! Plus the visual satisfaction,,,,,shit can’t be beat

TOKO AND HIFUMI MAD LIBS!!!!! oh my god they have solidarity so they give each other words if other people are unavailable/not cooperating hdnsbsbsv

and they both crack up when the other person reads the story, too 🥺 Like Toko will try to pretend that she doesn’t find it funny, but she’s snorting and trying to keep a straight face by the third sentence. They both get such a nice fluttery feeling at making others laugh, too!

Jill has tamagotchis!!! A bunch of them!!!!! And she’s really good at taking care of them; she acts like they’re her children dhsbdvsbs everyone else in class 78 is always like how are they all still alive you’re not even fronting most of the time???

Kyoko has maybe two or three or so furbies that she carries around with her and treats like her literal children wnnssnnsdbdb she’s literally the embodiment of the “do you care if I take the skin off this furby” meme no I won’t take it back it’s true

she does shit like create long furbies and other weird ass stuff like that because sometimes she’s awake at 3 in the morning and gets Ideas™️

Makoto is horrified ❤️

HELL YEAH junko loves the Lisa Frank aesthetic ngl like????? bright ass colors!!!!! holographic visuals!!!! oh my god she definitely carries around the little backpacks even though they’re too small for her bdbsbsbs

like she can’t fit anything useful in there and then gets frustrated because of it shdhnssbsb Mukuro is just kinda “why don’t you get a normal backpack” “bECAUSE IT’S NOT FUN, MUKURO”

And Mukuro with the glow in the dark starsssssssssss waaaaa oh my gosh she loves them so much they’re so calming to look at ??? prettyyyyy and also she has solidarity with Kaito because he has them too hdbsbdbd

Episode #3 - “I Stand For The Flag, I Kneel At The Cross” - Amanda

https://survivorunfinishedbusiness.tumblr.com/post/175489103003/immunity-challenge-3

Moral of the story, never trust a weeaboo goombitch

Audaux or whatever that fucking tribe's name is is dead to me. They are worth nothing. SCUM. Scum is what they are. Liars. Their word is worth nothing in this game and neither are they. Unlike them I've got an idol. Time's ticking. And sooner or later their times gonna be up.

im overwhelmed

https://survivorunfinishedbusiness.tumblr.com/post/175491921028/announcement

Amanda is removed from the game.

I’m not a Christian but I know who Monique Heart is. “Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.” Luke 12:3

oh wow. This game really took a turn for the worst huh. Nicholas left, Dani exploded, one world and a swap happened, tea was spilled, my closest ally was removed from the game, and Athena is ending after this season. I would like it to be known that I had absolutely no idea Amanda was so problematic and would not have gotten so close to her had I known! I'm taking this whole night kinda hard because it's like a punch in the face for me, not only because it hinders my game but also because it's so sad that I had gotten so close to Amanda these past few days and it's honestly super tragic what happened. I literally had no idea she was problematic and I had grown to care for her. I'm def just gonna take the night off and try to gather my bearings before I try to focus on the game or anyone else in it for now. Today has been insanely exhausting. Tomorrow is a new day and I fully intend to play just as hard (if not harder) as I was before, but I'm probably gonna have to start back at square 1. Wish me luck!!

So, tribal went exactly as I planned, and the swap happened... just as planned. However, Amanda wasn't something I had planned or even considered happening. Like, it's crazy when you think you know somebody, but then it turns out they are actually a 180 of what you think they are... Naturally this throws the Night Owls into serious haywire, and honestly, it might as well be a new game only with less allies at this point.

Well, Dani as it turns out is the Abi-Maria type, you know "fuck with me, you're dead." Good news is that I'm on a different tribe. Bad news is that I went in that tribal with 6 people willing to work with me, and walked out with 2.

https://youtu.be/BKWTR3cUibk

As time goes on, I'm slowly feeling a bit better about my tribe, but we'll see how I'm feeling when/if we go to tribal. Bodhi surprisingly seems less upset than Dani, almost makes me glad I got him instead of Dani. (Though having Colin and Timmy would have been ideal for me.)

Hi hosts I haven't made a confessional yet. honestly last night was wild like. i was drinking because i'm on vacaytion and that's what you do and like i started drinking like RIGHT when ryan sent the letter so i knew this was gonna be an interesting night so i kept on doing it and i was definitely gone. so yeah my tribes cool i like dani a lot. hopefully her drama will keep us alive. i don't know who's from what tribe but i do know anna and i are the only ones from talio on a tribe of 8 so that's really cute!

Okay so... last night was a hot mess. We tribe swap but then get put on One World with a scary pairs challenge, but then everyone fights Amanda Lynn for blindsiding Nicholas, THEN she gets exposed and quits the game. Omg Dani’s mind... So now I’m on a new tribe so let’s assess them! Super happy Andrew is with me. My closest ally from the old tribe that I can trust. Nathan and Nicole are here too, but they seem like a tighter duo with each other than us. I just hope they don’t do any shady business. Super happy to be reunited with Bodhi, we were a duo in B.B. pokémon but it might be known with Julia on this tribe. Speaking of Julia, don’t think we’re on good terms. She doesn’t like me so I’m not gonna bother messaging her. I played furby with Colin, we didn’t talk much there though. He tells me he lead the blindside against Nicholas and Kori was with him too so they’re probably working together. And then there’s Isaac, don’t have an opinion of him. Let’s just hope this phase of the game goes swimmingly.

OK WOW THAT AMANDA LYNN DRAMA I THINK SORTA SAVED ME! I WAS PAIRED WIHT JAKE!

Bc i know for a fact he was lying to me i know he was also turning right. IM NOT DUMB JAKE! sooo i was shook! bc like i didnt know all that wud play out. BUT THEN QUEEN JAY B. EXPOSED AMANDA LYNNS ASS! WHICH GETS HER PRETTY MUVH REMOVED/WALKED FROM THE GAME! which means no dumb pairs! sooo now we r on this one world tribal beach for like no reason ! ahah. but yeah i pretty much trust no one on my tribe like at all. BESIDES DANI A FUCKING QUEEN ! DANI I FUCKING LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AN BACK! <3 well im on the ugly audax tribe now. and i need to make  a video DR about other stuff   

ali and emily TY TY FOR PUTTING ANNA on my tribe after the swap! SHE  IS A GODDESS ON THE UNDERWORLD <3 (mean this in a good way) she is definitely a slytherin sooo cunning! ME AN HER BOTH BEING POTS AND VILLAINS OF OUR GAMES AND BEING ON THE SAME TRIBE <3  wow ty for rigging us together <3 SHE IS MY QUEEN! LIKE i hope she is bein genuine wiht me right now bc i want to work with her sooo bad!

Before my first tribal https://youtu.be/RfsGDjeD9_w   After my first tribal https://youtu.be/NDCkPgw75II 

https://youtu.be/M4bMaLxzwpY  Update on what I said about Blake though: we both like the same shows so that’s amazing because they’re Netflix shows which are my favorite.

Ali won't tell me where the idols are. That fucking snake this is why I told the hosts I refused to play with him.

Well, now that the Amanda fiasco has been said and done, I feel good about AJ and Julia in my tribe, meanwhile I still have Colin and I'm trying to work on a potential 5th, if we can get 5 that's a majority in a possible vote, and then I can move through this tribe fearlessly.

I dunno how I feel about the challenge, because it feels like one that if I'm in, I could definitely drop the ball, and as a result be the target, which would SUCK like majorly.

Hi My name is john coffey And yes I drink coffee.

https://survivorunfinishedbusiness.tumblr.com/post/175523828513/immunity-results-4

Talio wins immunity, sending Audax is sent to tribal council.

I'm a little late with this confession but Amanda got removed cus sis, she's homophobic, bye.

17 more to go.

So theres some annoying beef going on between Timmy and Dani and I mean I might as well be annoying and call them out about it in the tribe chat. It's the last season of Athena we gotta spice shit up.

So much is happening, I wanted Dani out, Dani wanted me out, Mo was trying to instigate stuff in the tribe chat. Once the challenge results were posted Ryan was messaging me saying that we should keep the 4 of us who were in the challenge safe because we need strong competitors and I agreed. Then after that I heard from Anna that Dani was saying my name, which is fucked up because she (Dani) had just said last night that she wants to put the past behind us. But honestly, and this is going to sound really stupid, after the Mo thing in the tribe chat, I'd much rather have him gone. The way to do that is to work with Dani and just let everything out into the open. Especially since Mo said, both in PMs and in the tribe chat, that he is trying a more assertive and bold strategy. Don't reveal your strategy, that's stupid. So Dani and I have been talking and we want Mo out because that seems like the best idea right now because he is trying to personify that there is an issue between us. I can get Anna on board and she seems like she would agree to it based on a small talk about it and Dani said she got John. But also John hasn't responded to my last message so....that's something. Trusting Dani could be what gets me out of this game and I really could be booboo the fool, but sometimes risks need to be taken. I'm just hoping that I can convince Ryan that this is the smarter plan, or maybe he can talk some sense into me and then Dani goes. Either way I don't want to be the one leaving tomorrow and I'm going to try everything to make sure that that does not happen. But right now it is 1am and I can get nothing accomplished this late, so that will have to wait until tomorrow where hopefully I don't wake up to a tribe chat on fire.

ofc my tribe loses. Tribal council loves "ana" ;) @ emily anyway dani and timmy are fighting which makes it sooo easy to just sit back and vote one of them BUT i really like timmy. and Dani is close to Blake and Ryan who I have an alliance chat with so I don't think they will vote her. Naturally I threw out the idea to keep BOTH of them for the drama and since Dani is going to go after Colin, Kori AND Timmy she will make such a great meat shield even in the future. So I threw out Mo's name. We were originally not going to vote anyone who competed in the challenge but Mo took literally so long, 5 minutes longer than the person on the other tribe and Ryan had gotten him a beautiful lead. Ofc I was 2 minutes slower but hear me out. Apparently in the jeopardy challenge he had bad internet or something and flopped and let everyone down. So thats kinda 2 in a row. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a super nice guy and I get why everyone loves him BUT him and I's convo's seem to run dry. Compared to people like Blake or Ryan who I want to talk to all the time, I don't see myself working with him closely in the future. So we will see. Looks like its gonna be one of those three!

it's me again. SO last night mo was like stirring the pot or something and tried having like an intervention with dani and timmy. or like, relationship therapy i guess. BUT it seems like little mo's fun backfired because mr timmy came to me this morning and it appears he and dani have kissed and made up and now they want little mo out. gay gagging! anna's on board i think. and it doesn't seem like vindicta is united. i know john said he didn't really connect with everyone so that's good. and timmys gonna pull in RTP so we can vote out mo. so that's fun!

The numbers to get Mo out seem to be there so I am thrilled! We don't need someone who is going to try to cause drama just so they can then hide in the shadows. The difficult part comes next and that is telling Ryan that Mo is the target, but I am hoping that will go well because the numbers are already there, and I'll phrase it in a way that is me asking him rather than saying it is already happening...even though it is.

Kori is literally.... like... insane. Every single time I'm on a call with him and one other person he offers a 'voice chat' alliance to f3. We've had one with Timmy since night 1, made one with Nathan yesterday, and he also offered one to Isaac. It's literally too much I'm screaming. Straights are WILD.

LAST MINUTE DR.... I WON IMMUNITY WOOOO BUT I THINK THE FIRST TIME I DONT IM GONE GBVFDJGNVFD

Mo is sent home by a vote of 6-1. You can watch his preseason interview here.

aight, so about what happened to Froot Salad’ beak recently 

Unfortunately, I can’t show pics rn, but their beak got even more cracked, so they now have a pretty large pointy hole around the right of their beak :( 

i had to go to new mexico for a weekend for some family-related tragedies, so i brought some furbs with me since I knew I’d badly need comfort. while we were there, one of my cousins thought it funny to try to piss me off at every available moment, which among other shit included throwing/punching/kicking/dropping/basically trying to damage all of my furbs (and pretty much all my shit in general tbh)

it eventually got to the point where he decided it’d be funny to just kinda, y’know, fuckin grab a furby and literally fucking hurl them all the way across a (pretty big, might I add) room onto the fucking wall across (altho they actually hit the fucking window and as a result it got like a tiny crack, I’m surprised it didn’t fucking shatter)

initially Froot Salad lost the entirety of their upper beak, but a different cousin was an angel and tried to find as much of the beak as she could so now Froot Salad just kinda has a bigger crack

they initially didn’t even function at all, but thank fucking g o d eventually I got them to work again (altho they restarted and have a new furbish name but i don’t care about that I’m just happy they still work), altho their gears are slower and louder and i think their microphone got fucked up kinda? idk but they still mostly work

I feel so bad about it, I wish I had tried to fucking do something so they wouldn’t have gotten hurt so badly ; _ ; (ofc i tried to tell his parents but they never did shit and got more mad at me if anything and i didn’t wanna just fucking scream or hit him)

but anyway, my baby did unfortunately get injured :( they’re still working tho, and they’re ofc still just as beautiful and I still love them all the same

Caparezza ft. Al Bano | Vieni A Ballare In Puglia

This song contains lots or Italian culture references, so I am going to mention a few here just to generally give you a background story. This is a song of denunciation for many of the wrong things that happen in Puglia but that only people living there know of. Tourism is still huge in this Region, and oftentime tourists don’t know what’s going on cause they generally see the good side of this place (which is indeed very beautiful). ILVA in Taranto is a steel mill that has been accused in 2012 of lacking and not following several safety norms and laws both for people and environment (among which, it produces dioxin). Milva is a famous singer and La Pimpa is a very famous old cartoon you may know too or watch on Raiplay. ENI is an Italian Association that is in charge of electric energy and marsh gas but also fuels, and in Puglia there’s probably the biggest refinery in our whole country. Many times there are fires caused by people either to mantain their seasonal job or to have more fields for their sheeps (it happnes all over Italy sadly). “Grattarsi le palle” is done to try and push away bad luck. It’s another thing we (Italian males) touch when there’s something wrong around, together with iron stuff, and our left tit (Italian females). When he mentions “romanians”: he’s mentioning the “caporalato” which is basically a way people especially in the south uses to recruit foreigners (in particular) and make them work for many hours in their fields and pay them nothing and treat them worse than beasts (used also abroad ofc).

det. AU 15

Arsé-kun: Arséne: Now that it has been a full week from the paper revealing Glaaki, I'm going to make sure our notes are correct.

Sheepy: Sheepy: Great. Go ahead. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Starting there, I sent you to gain information. You easily dealt with this, then managed to uncover a murder case not yet known to the public and acted immediately, even if the way the information was gained was.... Not what I'd have preferred. It gained us part of a name, which was of use later. Arsé-kun: Arséne: I have to fail you on the "Reporting death to loved ones" category, though, from what I was told. Sheepy: Sheepy: Hey, I did it! That's what counts. Arsé-kun: Arséne: *he sighs* I suppose so. *he straightens his papers out (again)* Irregardless, you still managed to reach the crime scene, even if it took convincing a city pig to drive you and you being last to arrive. Once gathered there, we confirmed the identity of the killer twice-fold- Once by forensics, once by... Him. And like usual, he only gave half the needed information about our Byrd. ... And the list of people who know him seems to just keep multiplying, doesn't it? Arsé-kun: Arséne: ... Then you did the Incredibly Risky Thing™ for the second half of the information. That is how I wrote it and I am not changing it. According to the source himself, two Byrds were one prior, and the second is the personality of a rabid bear in the shape of a human, roughly. The FIRST Byrd I had already interviewed about the crimes, so we can now pin them all on the second for sure. I certainly want to interview the first Byrd again, though. Arsé-kun: Arséne: As a final note, there seemed to be a fixation on canines for.. Some reason. This will likely be important later. Sheepy: Sheepy: Huh. I wonder why. Sheepy: Sheepy: Good idea. It's important for later potentially. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Now, is that all, or is there something I missed? Sheepy: Sheepy: That seems like it's all. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Wonderful. *he puts the papers into his desk, and then pushes the newspaper off with a dramatic flourish* Then for the rest of the day, we are off from work! Sheepy: Sheepy: Great! Arsé-kun: Arséne: And with that- *he pulls two gift-wrapped boxes from under his desk* Merry Christmas. Sheepy: Sheepy: I see...I must choose wisely. Sheepy: *Sheepy chooses the gift on the right* Arsé-kun: Arséne: Non, you get both. It just wasn't wise to put them in the same box. Arsé-kun: *this box is heavier. Like a box of books or a bunch of rocks* Sheepy: Sheepy: One's alcohol and the other is a lighter for a molotov cocktail of a gift. Arsé-kun: Arséne: You don't need a gift to make those. You do it anyway. Sheepy: Sheepy: Yes. Sheepy: *Sheepy opens the gift* Arsé-kun: *it's a bunch of books. They are all cosmic horror. They are not all Lovecraft, but still in the inner circle of canon. They're all pretty thick.* Sheepy: Sheepy: Oh! So I can understand Nyar better! Sheepy: Sheepy: Like a book on how to take care of your pet rat but for taking care of your pet eldritch horror. Arsé-kun: Arséne: You're the expert on the subject, so I figured it would help. Sheepy: Sheepy: I appreciate it. Thanks. Arsé-kun: Arséne: I doubt I'll get the same response for the second box. Sheepy: *Sheepy opens the other box* Arsé-kun: *It's a Furby. ... It WAS a Furby. It's too long to be a Furby. Why is it so LONG? How many Furbies had to die for this sin?* Sheepy: Sheepy:......What did you feed this thing? Furniture varnish? Arsé-kun: Arséne: Twenty feet of synthetic fur and enough stuffing to fill a carnival prize booth. Sheepy: Sheepy: It's ugly. I love it. Arsé-kun: Arséne: *relief.* Sheepy: Sheepy: I bet you can't guess what your gift is. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Did you finally get me the Hope Diamond? *he's kidding, ofc* Sheepy: Sheepy: Better. Arsé-kun: Arséne: The English Crown? Sheepy: *Sheepy leaves briefly before returning with a wrapped gift. It's mostly flat.* Arsé-kun: *Arséne carefully opens it* Sheepy: *It's a sweater with a bunny on it! Arsé-kun: Arséne: You're right-- This is much better! Sheepy: Sheepy: Good! Sheepy: Sheepy: I worked hard on it! Arsé-kun: Arséne: I'm going to proudly wear it! Sheepy: Sheepy: Good! Sheepy: Sheepy: What's the plan for today? Arsé-kun: Arséne: There is no plan. It's Christmas. Sheepy: Sheepy: So we just sit around all day? Or are people coming over? Arsé-kun: Arséne: With how many people live here? Sheepy: Sheepy: It's guaranteed... Sheepy: Sheepy: I'm guessing... Mycroft, his two kids, Barok... Eh... Sheepy: Sheepy: That's all I've got. Arsé-kun: Arséne: I hope that's all, but I highly doubt it will be. Sheepy: Sheepy: Yeah. I have a feeling a loud and obnoxious person will be invited. Arsé-kun: Arséne: That does not clarify much. Sheepy: Sherlock: It's Christmas! Merry Cbrismas! Sheepy: Sheepy: I was right... Arsé-kun: Arséne: Yes, Merry Chrystler. Have your gifts been good? Sheepy: Sherlock: Yes! Sheepy: Sherlock: Santa deemed me nice this year... Arsé-kun: Arséne: Fantastic. The Status Quo has been preserved. Sheepy: Sherlock: Harley said he didn't want anything and didn't care if he got something. I didn't get anything for him. Sheepy: Sheepy:...Eh, that's what you say when you want something and refuse to admit it... Arsé-kun: Arséne: I bought him a joke candle. I fully expect to be yelled at by the evening. Sheepy: Sheepy: Uh? Arsé-kun: Arséne: I can't just give the Great Detective something outright. Where's the fun in that~ Sheepy: Sheepy: Oh, you're good. I'll give him a bar of soap with his house keys inside next year. Arsé-kun: Arséne: I already put them in gelatin. Good luck getting them next year. Sheepy: Sheepy: Really?! Arsé-kun: Arséne: Ask Impey to see the secret gelatin. It's real, I assure you. Sheepy: Sheepy: I want to see! Arsé-kun: Arséne: Nothing's stopping you. Sheepy: Sheepy: I'm going to go look now! *he goes* Arsé-kun: *Impey is trying to cook without getting Interrupted. It is going in a way of sorts* Sheepy: Hansel:........*stare* Sheepy: Hansel: ............Sweets........ Arsé-kun: Impey: I need to FINISH it before you can eat it! Sheepy: Hansel: I'm hungry.... Sheepy: Sheepy: I desire to see the forbidden gelatin. Arsé-kun: Impey: If you sit down and wait, I'll let you have the extra frosti- Who told you? Sheepy: Sheepy: Arsene. Sheepy: Hansel: Hmmmmm... Sheepy: Hansel: Pan-tree.... Arsé-kun: Impey: Of course he did. Second shelf, don't take it out yet. It hasn't hardened fully-- No! Sheepy: Sheepy: Thanks. *he goes to look* Arsé-kun: *it's a bowl of gelatin. there are plastic-wrapped keys inside. wow. much shock.* Sheepy: Hansel: Food is forbidden here, sister...This is truly the witch's house... Arsé-kun: Gretel: Have patience for once! Sheepy: Sheepy: Amazing. *he closes it* Sheepy: Hansel:....... Sheepy: Hansel: I'll ask Saint-Germain for food. Arsé-kun: Gretel: Lets see how that goes. Arsé-kun: *Germain is lounging and already drinking wine. wine aunt.* Arsé-kun: Germain: And here you are again, Hansel. Sheepy: Hansel: Saint-Germain....The kitchen...has no food. Sheepy: Hansel: I'm hungry.... Arsé-kun: Germain: How queer. *he picks up a large plastic bag. it's very big* Come get your sweets. Sheepy: Hansel:?... Sheepy: Hansel: That's a plastic bag. Arsé-kun: Germain: You fool. *he drops it. candy comes spilling out.* Sheepy: Hansel: It says not to eat on its packaging, so I have observed from other plastic bags...Hm? Sheepy: Hansel: I see...This must be my gift. Sheepy: Hansel: I didn't get you one. I have no money. Arsé-kun: Germain: I understand. Your presence is enough Sheepy: Hansel: I see. Many people say this. My presence is more than enough. Sheepy: Hansel: I will now be a presence in your life. Merry Christmas. Arsé-kun: Germain: How kind of you. Happy Holidays. Sheepy: Hansel: ............*loom.......* Sheepy: *Suddenly, loud obnoxious shouting!* Arsé-kun: *distant glass breaking. It scared Impey. the volume did not shatter glass. yet* Arsé-kun: Rom: --And stop yelling for five minutes! Sheepy: Crow: Eh? How else is he going to know it's me!? Arsé-kun: Rom: Who else looks like you?? It'll be fine. Sheepy: Crow: Hey! You're right! Nobody looks as perfect as me! Heheh! Sheepy: Aion: This accursed rodent is blind to the truth..........as foolish rodents usually are. Sheepy: Crow: Oi! I'm no rodent! I'm a hedgehog, not a rodent, Wimpion! Sheepy: Aion: Hedgehogs are rodents... Sheepy: Crow: I've never met a hedgehog that's a rodent. Sheepy: Crow: Although I've seen ones that live in the lap of luxury but get kept in cages.....like milkless cows in barns...... Sheepy: Crow: At the pet store....... Arsé-kun: *Yaiba's prattling on in the background and like 4 topics ahead. Typical* Sheepy: Crow: Eh? I don't get what you're talking about! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ... They're rodents! Sheepy: Crow: N-no! Rodents have uh..... Sheepy: Crow: .......... Sheepy: Crow: Y'know....! Sheepy: Crow: Disease! Sheepy: Aion: Hedgehogs carry disease too. You are a rodent. Sheepy: Crow: Eh!?! Sheepy: Crow: I shower every day! I'm not diseased! Sheepy: Aion: Hedgehogs carry a disease that causes the very depths of your soul to yearn for escape. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba is STILL TALKING.* Sheepy: Aion: ...............Hm.......... Sheepy: Aion: ....................A guardian beast............... Sheepy: Aion: It is commonly referred to as............"Garden Gnome". Sheepy: Crow: Garden gnomes aren't alive, Dumbion! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: --And gnomes are SMALL, this is clearly not small OR wearing a pointed hat- Sheepy: Aion: It is an ascended garden gnome. Arsé-kun: *The "gnome" moves suddenly, pushing Crow over easily before picking his shovel back up off the ground and shaking the snow off* Arsé-kun: Adam: I do hope I am not a "gnome". Sheepy: Crow: *scream* Sheepy: Aion: Stay down there like the lowly rodent you are. Arsé-kun: Adam: I wouldn't be so cruel. After all. *and he stANDS BACK UP. PLEASE REMEMBER HE IS VERY TALL.* You are lower to the ground. Sheepy: Aion: ..........!? Sheepy: Aion: *he begins trembling......* Sheepy: Aion: Oh.....! Oh.......! Arsé-kun: Adam: ... *it takes him a moment to realize that could be understood as a threat and squats back down* Sheepy: *Crow sits up and shakes himself off* Sheepy: Crow: Sheesh, it's cold.....! Arsé-kun: *Yaiba has 2x increased the motor mouthing. He was given minor fright, give him like 20 minutes* Sheepy: Crow: You startled me! Sheepy: Aion: *tremble, tremble* Sheepy: Crow: To surprise someone as cool as me, you gotta be good! Arsé-kun: Adam: Then I suppose I will call this a success. Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God.............................Has been overshadowed...........his light will be consumed....... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: --And that's no good, hence, let me throw you into the sky to regain your power! Sheepy: Aion: Dragged within the deepest depths of the abyss...........a sad little bird, singing for freedom within its cage....... heard by deaf ears...... Sheepy: Crow: We came because you invited me! The others decided to come because it's no Christmas without Crow! Heheheh! Arsé-kun: Adam: I see. I apologize for startling them. You can go inside, the door's open. Sheepy: Crow: Great, thanks! Sheepy: *Crow goes inside* Arsé-kun: *in THIS room, it's just Germain and Hansel (and Gretel) watching a charlie brown christmas . Aza is stuck behind them and trying to watch and failing several times per minute. The fun shit's a room over, Crow* Sheepy: Crow: *he goes to the other room* Arsé-kun: *That's where the party is! Look at that tree. It's very tree. Look at all that wrapping paper everywhere. Who's cleaning that up? Who cares!* Sheepy: Crow: Oh shoot, a tree! Where's the angel? Sheepy: Crow: I suppose I could do it... Arsé-kun: Watson: *in Sherlock's usual chair* Do not. It can't support your weight. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Then this is no Christmas tree, right? The Christmas Angel won't visit you! Sheepy: Crow: He won't know how to get here. Sheepy: Crow: I've seen him before! He's got an X-shaped scar! Just like Uncle...! I wonder what kinda Krampus he fought, huh?! Arsé-kun: Watson: I thought that was a remnant from a duel... On your uncle, I mean. Sheepy: Crow: Oh, yeah! I bet he fought a super strong enemy and ended up with that. Sheepy: Crow: But why would the Christmas Angel have it? Arsé-kun: *... There's a sound from above, before a sack drops down the chimney and neatly lands in the fireplace. h uh* Sheepy: Crow:?!?!?!?! Sheepy: Crow: The Christmas Angel is here! Sheepy: Crow:...No...but wait... Arsé-kun: Watson: Wait. I don't trust this easily. Someone more durable can check. Sheepy: Crow: Dad told me that the Christmas Angel goes down the chimney to give good angels gifts... Sheepy: Crow: Could it be...a knockoff Christmas Angel? Arsé-kun: *Van starts loading his shotgun. Watson lowers the shotgun without looking at him* Sheepy: Crow: Like maybe that Santa guy! What a faker! As if some old guy could ride reindeer across the world in one night. Hah! Arsé-kun: Watson: At this point, I'll accept anything. Sheepy: Crow: Really? You'll believe anything!? So you're that kinda doctor! Sheepy: Crow: That means you can help me! Arsé-kun: Watson: I am stuck living with, in no particular order: At least one vampire, Nyarlathotep, both Holmes, a "Frankenstein's monster", and whatever the hell the Saint is. So sure. It's possible. Sheepy: *Crow reveals his wings! They're a dark gray and somewhat ragged. all 2 of them* Arsé-kun: Watson: *without missing a beat* Have they been like this for long? It may be far too late for anything. Sheepy: Crow: Uh.... Sheepy: Crow: They were worse when I first fell a few years ago... Arsé-kun: Watson: Hm. What I will say is not using them will let the muscles atrophy and waste away, but don't overdo it either. A little bit each day. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Even though it hurts to use 'em? Arsé-kun: Watson: You don't need to get into the air. Even just moving them. Sheepy: Crow: Huh. Sheepy: Crow: I have 6 in all but when I fell... Arsé-kun: Watson: The remaining two are trying to do the work of six. Sheepy: Crow: I got super weak compared to where I was before. They're symbols of our power in a way. I can't make the other 4 show up no matter how hard I try! Sheepy: Crow: By the way, I'm not evil! I didn't commit any crimes. I was wrongly accused of one and they quickly decided to get rid of me! Arsé-kun: *Van goes to check the fireplace sack. It's legit, and VERY nicely wrapped gifts. One for Crow is on top* Sheepy: Crow: Eh? What is it? Arsé-kun: *Van tosses the gift to Crow* Sheepy: Crow:? *he catches it* Sheepy: Crow: How did the Christmas Angel know?! Sheepy: Crow: *he opens it* Arsé-kun: *it's a cow model. but wait, it's one of those hyper detailed japanese model kits. for a cow. this is ridiculous and probably cost mad cash* Sheepy: Crow: ...Eh? Sheepy: Crow: The heck? Why does the Christmas Angel always give me cows??? Sheepy: Sherlock: The case is solved! *he busts in wearing a santa outfit, dragging Barok with him* Sheepy: Sherlock: I found the person who tried to take my Christmas role! Sheepy: Crow: Satan?! Sheepy: Sherlock: San-ta! Arsé-kun: Watson: He's just dressed like Santa. Sheepy: Crow: Uncle wouldn't be Santa. Arsé-kun: Watson: Holiday tradition. Now, Sherlock, what do we have here? Sheepy: Sherlock: Barok von Zieks was on our roof! Arsé-kun: Barok: How ELSE would one access the chimney? Please, do tell me. Sheepy: Crow: Of course! To catch the Christmas Angel in the act! Sheepy: Sherlock: Eh? Who drops through a chimney? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... *he just sighs into his hands* Sheepy: Sherlock: That's dangerous. Sheepy: Crow: Uncle, did you see the Christmas Angel? He gave me a cow...again. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... .... No. Sheepy: Sherlock:...I didn't see anyone other than von Zieks...? Sheepy: Sherlock: And he was dropping gif- Arsé-kun: Barok: Shush. Sheepy: Crow: 'Course not! You can't see the Christmas Angel! Sheepy: Crow: Only good angels can. Arsé-kun: *Watson shoots Harley a quick text. He says nothing.* Sheepy: *Harley shows up soon after receiving the text* Arsé-kun: *Arséne shows up right after, with Pepper under his arm. Pepper has a little bunny sweater on.* Sheepy: Harley: ...Why does he have wings?? And why does that gremlin looking teen have wings? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Arsé-kun: Watson: "Fallen Angel" was not a figurative term, it turns out. At least, in Crow's case. *he's so unfazed by this* Sheepy: Crow: My name is Crow! C-R-W-O! ...Shoot! C-R-O-W! That's it! Sheepy: Crow: Like the bird! Sheepy: Crow: But with a C! Arsé-kun: Watson: ... Thank you, but not the priority at the moment. Sheepy: Harley: It doesn't make much sense to me. Sheepy: Harley: I suppose it should... Sheepy: Sherlock: All crows have a c! Arsé-kun: *There's an expression of dawning realization and horror on Barok's face as he realizes that yes, his wings ARE still completely out and showing. Oh No. Oh No. Ohhhh No.* Sheepy: Crow: Did you not know that, Uncle? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Of course I did. Sheepy: Harley: I assumed you were human... Arsé-kun: Barok: That was.... How I preferred it. Sheepy: Harley: ...Then again, I assumed this kid was human too despite him being completely open about it... Sheepy: Crow: I'm not a kid! I know I'm short, but I drank milk every day to grow tall and it NEVER worked! Sheepy: Crow: The good thing though is that I have so much calcium that my bones are probably plated with calcium armor. Arsé-kun: Barok: .... Can you let go of me now?! *he tries to shake off Sherlock* Sheepy: *Sherlock lets go* Arsé-kun: *Barok shuffles his wings before folding them down. much better* Sheepy: Crow: This doctor guy told me stuff to do to make my wings hurt less. Maybe if I keep working on it, the other four will come back. Arsé-kun: Barok: *his glare softens a little when he turns to look at Crow* Well. You had better work on that, hm? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! I'm gonna be back to my usual tough state before you know it! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Oh, like that'll happen. Henyway, we've gotta cancel Rom, Crow, it's important, of legendary proportions and I think I lost my soul upon witnessi[omitted] Sheepy: Crow: What did Rom do? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Snogged the Trichonika freak and pretending no one saw it! Band leader, you have to deal with this! Sheepy: Crow: Ehhh?! Sheepy: Crow: Seriously, ihop crayon hair guy?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Easter egg pastel hair guy, yes! Sheepy: Crow: We have to stop him! Sheepy: *Crow joins Yaiba* Arsé-kun: *Barok goes into the gift sack, goes around Yaiba, and hands Aion a gift. The wrapping paper is purely black. for you* Sheepy: Aion: *he's trembling all over* Sheepy: Aion:............The Reaper....The Reaper... Sheepy: Crow: Oi, Wimpion! He's not evil! He's my Uncle! Arsé-kun: Barok: *he sighs, and plucks one of his own feathers* Does this look rotted and abyssal to you? Sheepy: Aion:.....No. It's not like the rodent's feathers. Sheepy: Crow: Oi! They just are naturally this color! You're just jealous because they look cool! They looked cooler before, but still! Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Go deal with your drummer, Crow. Sheepy: Crow: Uh? Alright. Sheepy: *Crow leaves to go bother Rom* Arsé-kun: *Barok brings Aion aside, out of the room full of people* Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God...Has left his peaceful sanctuary... Sheepy: Aion: To enter unknown territory... Arsé-kun: Barok: Too stressful? *he's lowered his voice* You don't need to stay in there if you don't want to. Sheepy: Aion: .......... Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God... *his hand in front of his face is tightening* desires the quiet of the sanctuary...Ah...Even the squeaking of that rodent is preferred... Sheepy: Aion: But the strangers...And that piercing gaze...oh...The abyss stares into this soul of mine... Arsé-kun: Barok: Do you want to go home? Sheepy: Aion:....The rodent...Yaiba. Rom. Are familiar and comforting... Sheepy: Aion: But the crowding....The eyes....The knowing eyes... Arsé-kun: Barok: It is very crowded. I am not a fan of it either. Sheepy: Aion: The Black Monster will be dragged back into his cage by those knowing eyes... But being without ShinganCrimsonZ strikes fear into the heart of the Black Monster. Arsé-kun: Barok: .... You're not going anywhere you don't want to. Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God feels great warmth from ShinganCrimsonZ...A guiding light...A symbol of freedom... He wishes to stay... But the eyes...The eyes will cage him away... Arsé-kun: Barok: .... I will speak with him about it. Sheepy: Aion:....You do not fear him? Sheepy: Aion: But those eyes... Arsé-kun: Barok: I have worked with him before. The man tends to look that way when he is trying to make an observation. A resting bitch face, if you will. Sheepy: Aion: So they are deceiving. Sheepy: Aion:....Horrifying. Arsé-kun: Barok: Yes. He has a good heart under all that ice. Sheepy: Aion:.......You're warm... The Dark Sun God finds comfort in your presence. Sheepy: Aion: The rodent is fortunate to have someone like you. Sheepy: Aion: Despite this...he seems entirely unaware of it...Why? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... It is not my place to answer that question. Sheepy: Aion: *he seems frustrated* But... if he’s aware... They must’ve told him. It was as though my existence was a mirage before this... A fantastical creature... Ever doubted. So why now... Arsé-kun: Barok: ... They're worried about you. If the Detective Prince can be brought down, nothing says the Dark Prince of the Sun can't be next. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... But you won't be. Sheepy: Aion: ....... Sheepy: Aion: No, as long as the Dark Sun God remains within his sanctuary... Nothing can happen. Arsé-kun: Barok: Is it not safest to have multiple locations in case one is unavailable? Sheepy: Aion: Un...available...? *his hand tightens and his eyes widen* U-Unavailable? The sanctuary... Can be unavailable? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Perhaps that was the wrong thing to say. Arsé-kun: Barok: What I mean to say is that sometimes, the things we need are just too far away. Arsé-kun: Barok: I may have a shortcut you can use. But I will speak to you about it in privacy, not here. Sheepy: Aion: .......Alright. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... We don't need any stragglers knowing the things I want to tell you. Speaking of which... *he whips around the doorway and smacks Arséne with his scabbard* Mind your privacy! Sheepy: Aion: ?! Arsé-kun: Arséne: I reserve the right to be concerned about things and the fact that it's in my office..! *he nearly gets smacked again* Sheepy: Aion: *tremble, tremble* Arsé-kun: Arséne: ... Ah, I see. I'll leave you be. *and he wisely bows out* Sheepy: Aion: *he stops trembling* Arsé-kun: Barok: ... *he goes to pat Aion's shoulder and pauses* ... Do I have the permission of the Dark Sun to make holy contact? Sheepy: Aion: Yes. Arsé-kun: Barok: I am honored. *he gently pats Aion's shoulder* It'll be okay. Sheepy: Aion: .........Hopefully. Arsé-kun: Barok: I'll see what I can arrange. *pat, pat* Now go catch up with your friends. You're best off with them right now. Sheepy: *Aion seeks out the others, only to find...!* Sheepy: Crow: Why're you kissing the Easter Bunny, huh?! Arsé-kun: Rom: What?! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Look at him! He's clearly the Easter Bunny! Sheepy: Crow: Uh...! The hair! Sheepy: Crow:....And those rabbit ears (?)! Arsé-kun: Rom: .... *he looks at Shuzo and back* I can't deny the hair part, but the rest! What?? Sheepy: Shuzo: Have you ever seen a rabbit? Sheepy: Crow: Rabbits...! *he puts his fingers up on his head like rabbit ears* Have horns like this, and then fluffy ears, don't they? Sheepy: Shuzo: Sometimes exploring your imagination too deeply distorts reality ⭐ Take a break, Dream Traveler ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: You've both started speaking but I can't understand you. Sheepy: Crow: He's about as comprehensible as Wimpion! Your type is awful...! Arsé-kun: Rom: Shuu, can you speak like the rest of us for five minutes? I can't deny some of these statements. Sheepy: Shuzo: Force of habit ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I'm going to deck the halls with your face ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: How's he sparkling on command like that? Arsé-kun: Rom: Practice and at least two layers of curses. Sheepy: Shuzo: I was saying that he was delusional. Arsé-kun: Rom: Ah, that makes much more sense, I agree! Sheepy: Crow: Oi! No! I'm Crow! C-R-O-C! Sheepy: Crow:....W! CROW!! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Croc? The shoe brand specifically named Crocs? Were those horrendious fashionpieces named after you, henceforth warning the world at large of their malevolent nature?? Sheepy: Crow: No! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Croc and the legend of removing the second C to avoid being called the crocs boy Sheepy: Crow: Eh?! Eeeehhh?! Sheepy: Crow: *extremely anxious tail swishing* Wh-what?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Have I unlocked your tragic croc-based backstory?? Are the legends of ancient horrible footwear true? Sheepy: Crow: H...How'd you know, huh?! Sheepy: Crow: Oh, oh...! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *doing the glasses shine thing* You were removed from the Heavens for inventing Crocs, I see now! Sheepy: Crow: Now everyone's gonna know that I've got some nerdy name and they'll- Eh?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: What? Sheepy: Crow: I don't even know what a croc is! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I'm just messing with you, don't tell me I henceforth actually got something legend of correct! Sheepy: Crow: Uh...uh.... Sheepy: Crow: Uh..... Sheepy: Crow: This is no fair! Angels can't lie! Arsé-kun: Rom: How did we get here Sheepy: Shuzo: I don't know... Sheepy: Crow: Rom, Yaiba's bullying me! Arsé-kun: Rom: Yaiba, shut up. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *sputters* Arsé-kun: Rom: Now where were we? ... Right. Shuu, you really do look like a bunch of peeps were melted and dropped onto your head. Sheepy: Shuzo: Is that how I ended up being the Easter Bunny? Arsé-kun: Rom: It's very likely. Sheepy: Aion:........... Arsé-kun: Rom: Welcome back, Aion. You aren't missing much. Sheepy: Aion: *he tilts his head upwards, staring at Rom* I see... Arsé-kun: Rom: ... And no, I am NOT possessed! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God distrusts this. Sheepy: Crow: Then why would you date ihop crayon hair over here? Arsé-kun: Rom: Because that's not his real hair color!! I don't like it either! Sheepy: Shuzo: I'll change it to anything for you ⭐ My Dream Traveler ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I request you stop that before I hit you with a gingerbread house! Sheepy: Shuzo: How romantic ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: You're hunting for a dream house already...how mature ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Stop that!! Sheepy: Shuzo: *smug grin* Arsé-kun: Rom: You... Youu..!! Arsé-kun: Rom: I can't threaten you! You'd probably like it! Sheepy: Shuzo: Hahaha~ It's fun to press your buttons! Sheepy: Crow: Hey, don't be a jerk to Rom! Or I'll fight you! Arsé-kun: Rom: I'll punch both of you out if you try! Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh, dear, no, I wouldn't fight you. Your vibes are absolutely atrocious. Arsé-kun: Rom: I can't punch you anyway. You would enjoy the experience and then what am I supposed to do?? Sheepy: Shuzo: I wouldn't enjoy it. Don't assume that about me. I might like causing problems but I don't like dealing withthe consequences. Sheepy: Crow: If you anger a cow, expect to get gored! Sheepy: Crow: If you need stronger bones, drink milk! Sheepy: Crow: I have maximum defense because I drink milk and get punched by Rom! Sheepy: Shuzo: Worry not. I can see your weak point ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: But my survival instincts tell me that if I ever am put into a situation where I have to fight you, I should flee with my tail between my legs. Sheepy: Crow: Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm the strongest! Sheepy: Crow: Hahahahahahaha! Sheepy: Shuzo: Really? But Rom always wins anyway? Arsé-kun: Rom: Don't- Don't encourage it. Sheepy: Shuzo: My apologies. Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Of course. Sheepy: Crow: Someone as manly as Rom would never lose in a fistfight. Sheepy: Crow: But when it comes to tending cows...! I'd win every time! Sheepy: Shuzo: I have little knowledge on cows... Sheepy: Crow: You should know more! Sheepy: Crow: Every Holstein cow has a unique pattern! Sheepy: Crow: They're very cute! You know, a cow will stand up and lie down around 14 times a day? Sheepy: Crow: I liked petting my cows and talking to them. They're very affectionate! Sheepy: Shuzo:...If I go natural with my hair color, this kid is going to compare me to a cow... Arsé-kun: Rom: He asked me if I was a cow. It's inevitable. Sheepy: Shuzo:...I'm keeping this hair color, I can't risk the embarrassment of being called a cow ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: I wouldn't call you a cow. You're too lame to be a cattle. Sheepy: Aion: Yes....That is why...Rom must be possessed. Arsé-kun: Rom: Oh, we're still on that?? I'm not possessed! Sheepy: Aion: Are you certain? Then why him? Arsé-kun: Rom: Because I liked him BEFORE he was in this sparkledog band. Sheepy: Crow: Before? Sheepy: Crow: What, was he a nerd back then? Arsé-kun: Rom: .... I can't say yes OR no to that! Sheepy: Crow: Huh? You don't know? Sheepy: Aion: Cryptic... Sheepy: Shuzo: It's a secret ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: But I'll say that I was good competition for him in ping pong. But now I'm rusty ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Then practice!! Sheepy: Shuzo: I'll consider it just for you. Sheepy: Shuzo: Perhaps you have stagnated too. Arsé-kun: Rom: Absolutely not!! Sheepy: Shuzo: Would you like to prove it? Arsé-kun: Rom: Of course I would!!! Sheepy: Shuzo: Then I suppose I should let you face me ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I'll kick your ass! Sheepy: Shuzo: We'll see! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: No wonder they get along, they've got the same level of co[omitted] Sheepy: Crow: They're both really competitive! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I JUST said that! Sheepy: Crow: I stopped listening. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I wasn't even one sentence in! Sheepy: Crow: Huh. Sheepy: Crow: ........ Sheepy: Crow: That's a long one sentence! Sheepy: Aion: The rodent has no attention span..... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: None at all! He'll stop listening at five words! Sheepy: Crow: That's not true! Sheepy: Crow: I have a great attention span! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence? Would you like to test this? You certainly know I can speak for long periods of time, a talent you could never possess even if you tried, for I am t[omitted] Sheepy: Crow: You just talk way too much! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence, but I had to listen to the entire 27 cow facts for three days in a row! And you have a problem with my amount of speech? Legend of hypocrite! Sheepy: Crow: But that's actually interesting! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It was so legendarily boring! Arsé-kun: *Rom grabs both Crow and Yaiba before pushing them down* Arsé-kun: Rom: Both of you ramble excessively! The only thing it's good for is supporting plant life and stealing valuable oxygen from the people who need it! Sheepy: Crow: !?!?! Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Incredible..... What wise words! Arsé-kun: *Yaiba is equally as stunned as Crow* Sheepy: Crow: Amazing!! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: So inspirational..! Sheepy: Aion: As to be expected by a man with a full time job! Sheepy: *Aion is awestruck... as usual* Arsé-kun: Rom: Now stop fighting! I'm going to beat my man's ass in ping pong and he's going to feel the pain of defeat well until tomorrow! Sheepy: Shuzo: *squint* Sheepy: Aion: But where is this ping pong table? The Dark Sun God has seen it not. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: There might be one around here! We never asked! Sheepy: Crow: Hah! I could beat Rom! That's why it's hidden! So I don't unleash my full potential! Arsé-kun: Rom: *he just smirks at Shuzo* Sheepy: Shuzo: I won't lose ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I won't go down without a fight! 🔥 Arsé-kun: *To their great joy, it turns out Saint-G does in fact own a ping pong table. Nobody ever asked about it.* Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God has little interest in this sport, so he will watch. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Rom, you cannot lose this battle! The fate of our band's name is at... No, the fate of the world is at stake! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! It'll be embarrassing if you lose to the Easter Bunny! Arsé-kun: Rom: It'll be embarrassing if I lose, period, full stop! Arsé-kun: *Rom's fired up! With the aim and strength befitting a mature man that works a full-time job, he bounces the ball over the net. #hypesquaaad* Sheepy: *Shuzo passes it back with grace! As the Dream Prince/Prince of the Stars/Black Swan would!* Arsé-kun: *... They're playing a normal game of ping-pong, outside of the extreme effects* Sheepy: *It doesn't take long for Shuzo to bump the table wrong, suddenly stopping and clutching his chest* Arsé-kun: *Rom "accidentally" smacks the ball off the table, leaning forward on it* Arsé-kun: Rom: Shuu, are you okay?? Sheepy: Shuzo: Ugh-! *he winces* I-I'm just...dreamy ⭐ *cringe* Sheepy: Crow: Rom won! I knew he would! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Victory by disqualification. Legendary as always! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God disagrees with this. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Wh-what do you mean? The opponent can't[omitted] Sheepy: Aion: The gosling is clearly injured. A true man like Rom would not prey on the weak nor injured. Sheepy: Aion: And so...! Rom will certainly punch his bones back into place! Sheepy: Crow: What?! Amazing! Arsé-kun: Rom: I was about to commend you but Aion! No! They're already broken, I can't punch them into one piece! Yet! Sheepy: Aion: ? Sheepy: Shuzo: Something as s-small as this won't stop- *wince*- stop me. Arsé-kun: Rom: Sit your ass down before I kick it to the next galaxy. Sheepy: Shuzo: How cruel ⭐ Sheepy: *Shuzo does sit down, though!* Arsé-kun: Distant Watson: -- And I absolutely do not trust you near my patients! You may be better than your son, but that is an extremely low bar to clear! Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh, he's fast... Arsé-kun: Rom: Wasn't... Wasn't that man here when we got here? Sheepy: Shuzo: What do you mean? Arsé-kun: Rom: What was there to misunderstand? Sheepy: Shuzo: Dr. Watson lives here. But he's fast to recognize someone needs his help ⭐ How talented ⭐ Arsé-kun: Watson: I was told. *there he is!* But thank you. Sheepy: Shuzo: Hello. It seems I need you. Arsé-kun: Watson: I see. What part of "No physical activity" did you miss out on? Sheepy: Shuzo: Haha... ⭐ I can't help but to get fired up around Rom~ ⭐ Arsé-kun: Watson: It's bad enough you walked here. *he goes to make sure Shuzo didn't actually injure himself more* Sheepy: Shuzo: Sorry. Arsé-kun: Rom: ... Arsé-kun: Rom: So which of you kids wants to try and dethrone the king from his ping pong throne? Sheepy: Crow: Oi! I'm no kid! Sheepy: Crow: You'll lose if you treat me as one! Arsé-kun: Rom: You can barely ride a roller coaster, you absolutely are. Sheepy: Crow: H-Hey!!! Arsé-kun: Rom: :3c Sheepy: Aion: Someone as short as you definitely is a child. Sheepy: Crow: No!!!! Arsé-kun: *Yaiba is saying words* Sheepy: Crow: Eh....Eh.... Sheepy: Crow: At least 102? Maybe more, maybe less! I don't know! Sheepy: Aion: This is the fifth age the rodent has given.... Sheepy: Crow: Hey, that's because I don't know!!! Sheepy: Crow: I raised cows all my life! I didn't do competitive aging! Arsé-kun: *The great daemon sultan Azathoth has been lost this entire conversation. He's just watching what Watson was doing but, but. Wings? Wings on a furry child? Competitive aging? ???? he's very lost.* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ... What is COMPETITIVE AGING Sheepy: Crow: ? Sheepy: Crow: You don't know? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: What in the legend of hell is that supposed to mean?? Sheepy: Crow: It's when you brag about being older than someone else. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: You win, old man Crow! Sheepy: Crow: I never knew any angels around my age so I assume that's a game they play....Huh?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: If you're really that old, you beat all of us combined, hence, you're actually an old man! Sheepy: Crow: I'm only like 16 or 17 in uh... Sheepy: Crow:.... Sheepy: Crow: Uuuuuncle! How old am I?! Arsé-kun: Barok: In human years or enochian? Sheepy: Crow: I'm not an echidna! I'm a hedgehog! Arsé-kun: *barok does not respond to this, instead slamming down another drink* Sheepy: Crow: In whichever one is more accurate! Arsé-kun: Barok: [text: to Crow] 16 in human years, 128 in Enochian. Sheepy: Crow: I'm 16 in human years! Sheepy: Crow: You're like 10 in human years, right? Sheepy: Aion:.......... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: [omit] Sheepy: Aion: The Black Monster's age....Is impossible for a rodent like you to comprehend. Sheepy: Crow: 11? Arsé-kun: Watson: --Take one now, and one right before you leave. Do not take them together under any circumstance. Sheepy: Shuzo: Don't worry. I won't. I have experience with these things ⭐ Arsé-kun: Watson: Unless you want to text your ex several more times. Sheepy: Shuzo: Worry not, Watson~ I have no ex to text ⭐ I've eliminated my ex! *laugh- he covers his mouth. he coughs a few times before wheezing. he flinches* How unattractive ⭐ So sorry. Arsé-kun: *Rom smirks again* Sheepy: Shuzo: Although I suppose you've seen this side of me before, Dr. Watson. No need for me to be embarrassed ⭐ Arsé-kun: Watson: I can understand it. Your boyfriend is present, as are children. Sheepy: Crow: Oi! I'm no children! Arsé-kun: Watson: Teenagers count as children. Sheepy: Crow: I bet I'm older than you in human years! You're like 15, right? Arsé-kun: Watson: ... I'm 37. Sheepy: Crow: EH?! Sheepy: Crow: The heck?! Since when do humans grow that old?! Arsé-kun: Barok: [text: to Crow] Humans can live to 100. on th e other hand i am 234 and unstoppable Sheepy: Crow:?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *i wanna see* Sheepy: Crow: It's a special text from my uncle! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *he is taller than Crow so it is not a hard task to read over his shoulder* ... Well, nevermind, HE'S the legend of extremely old! Sheepy: Crow: Hey! Don't look at his texts! They're super secret! Stop being taller than me! Arsé-kun: Barok: [text: to Crow] I MADE A DRUNK ERROR. ENOCHIAN YEARS ARE THE LARGER NUMBERS BECAUSE HUMAN YEARS ARE MUCH SHORTER. PLEASE SWITCH THE AGES I GAVE AROUND. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: :v Sheepy: Crow:?!? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Wow, old man Crow, how's it feel to be over 100?? Sheepy: Crow: I'm not old! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: He just said the big number is the right one, so you're over 100. Old. Arsé-kun: Rom: ... ... Arsé-kun: Rom: ...... So are we going to ignore the part where I was called Shuu's boyfriend? Sheepy: Aion: You wouldn't kiss someone you aren't dating. Arsé-kun: Rom: I. Arsé-kun: Rom: I can't come up with a counter to that. Sheepy: Crow: I'm a boyfriend too! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence, have none of you been kissed on the cheek by a grandmother?? Did any of you have grandparents? Did Crow even HAVE parents? Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Arsé-kun: Rom: ... Crow, we mean the romantic dating kind of boyfriend. Not a friend that is a boy. Sheepy: Crow: I never met my mom but my dad disappeared when I was 6 so I've really only ever had my uncle... Sheepy: Aion:........ Arsé-kun: Rom: ANYWAY Arsé-kun: Rom: The statement of me being Shuu's date, his romantic partner... Doesn't that sound ridiculous? Sheepy: Crow: It does because I can't imagine you having taste that bad! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I was starting to think you really were possessed by his cosmic powers! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God believed you the type to date someone working a full time job.. Arsé-kun: Rom: I know, right? But it's... Arsé-kun: Rom: TRUE, sike, you thought I was gonna say it wasn't true! Sheepy: Aion: ...... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ........ Sheepy: Aion:......But you wouldn't kiss someone you aren't dating upon the lips... Arsé-kun: *Yaiba has 404'd.* Sheepy: Crow: Wow! April Fools came early this year! Arsé-kun: Rom: ... *he makes eye contact with Crow, leans down and gives Shuzo a quick kiss. He never lets it up.* Sheepy: Shuzo: How romantic ⭐ My pain is gone thanks to your magic ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: *smacks a star out of his face* You have got to get that under control. Sheepy: Shuzo: My apologies. Sheepy: Crow: Huuuh? But why someone as lame as him? Arsé-kun: Rom: Shuu, do you think we could maybe update some of those old tracks and show them why? Sheepy: Shuzo: Hmm...We don't have the other members...but it'd work. Arsé-kun: Rom: We'll make do. Sheepy: Shuzo: I'll enjoy it. Of course...we only released one...so we could do that one. Arsé-kun: Rom: I doubt they'll recognize it, but I'd enjoy it. Sheepy: Shuzo: I suppose I have to heal first so Dr. Watson isn't disappointed in me~ How sad~ Arsé-kun: Rom: Well, I have an alternative. Sheepy: Shuzo: Huh? Arsé-kun: Rom: >:3 *he pulls out his phone and fiddles a bit with it. the first notes trickle on..* Sheepy: Shuzo: That's your ringtone? How embarrassing. Arsé-kun: Rom: I still like it. Now shush. Arsé-kun: Rom: *he waits a decent bit into the vocals* ... Not the words, you guys. The vocals. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Isn't this the Easter Bunny? Arsé-kun: Rom: Yes. Yes, it is. Sheepy: Crow: It's less sparkly than the other lame junk he sings. Arsé-kun: Rom: I prefer it over those. Sheepy: Aion: Much less artificial. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: h-h-how are we being so casual about this, and is that Rom's drumming? ?? ? Arsé-kun: Rom: :) Sheepy: Aion:....?? Should the Dark Sun God be surprised? Sheepy: Crow:...Eh? Ehhhh? Rom played with this loser before our band?! Arsé-kun: Rom: Do you want to fight over it, right here, inside a guest's house on christmas?? Sheepy: Crow: I'll show you my crimson fist! Arsé-kun: Rom: But what can it do against the mature adult man?! Sheepy: Crow: Hah! It can break through anything! Even wood! Arsé-kun: Rom: *he picks up the ping pong ball* But not through this! Sheepy: Crow:?! Oh? You want to challenge me? Arsé-kun: Rom: Yes! I'm calling you out! Sheepy: Crow: On this holy night as I burn with crimson passion? Sheepy: Crow: *he picks up a ping pong paddle* I'll take you on! Arsé-kun: *they proceed to play ping pong. no one dies* Sheepy: *a surprise* Arsé-kun: *Watson decides that's enough nonsense for the afternoon and leaves the room to get another cup of coffee* Sheepy: *Nyar is eating an avocado in the shell while listening to Barok. Sherlock is fascinated by Barok. Harley is horrified by everything* Arsé-kun: *Barok is also horrified by what Nyar is doing but is completely ignoring it in favor of retelling the history of japan. also, he's very drunk. on purpose.* Arsé-kun: Barok: -So, the Mongols came over ready for war and died in a tornado. (The year is now 1281) But, they tried again and had a nice time fighting with the Japanese but then died in a tornado. Sheepy: Nyar: That's relatable. Arsé-kun: Barok: Tornadoes have a history of ruining things. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Then the emperor overthrows the shogunate. Then the shogunate overthrows him back and moves to Kyoto and makes a new shogunate. And the emperor can still dress like an emperor if he wants; that's fine. Sheepy: Sherlock: What's a shogunate? Sheepy: Harley: I'll tell you later. Arsé-kun: Barok: A military king, more or less. Sheepy: Sherlock: Like George Washington! Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Yes? Sheepy: Sherlock: Wow! Sheepy: Sherlock: I didn't know George Washington was from Japan. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... ... Arsé-kun: Barok: I need another drink. Sheepy: Harley: Sherlock, can you not be incompetent for two minutes? I'm trying to work and you're dropping my IQ. Sheepy: Sherlock: Eh? He's not, huh... Arsé-kun: Watson: Who's IQ is playing limbo today? How low can it go? Sheepy: Harley: I imagine down to 120 and no lower. My apologies, I'm not skilled at limbo. Sheepy: Sherlock: Tell me more about Japan! Arsé-kun: Barok: Right, yes. It’s time for "Who’s going to be the next shogun?" Usually, it’s the shogun’s kid, but the shogun doesn’t have a kid, so he tries to get his brother to quit being a monk and be the next shogun. He says "Okay". But then the shogun has a kid. So, now who’s it gonna be? Vote now on your phones... And everyone voted so hard that the palace caught on fire and burned down. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Was under the idea that phones were invented much later... *he slightly pushes Nyar off the seat to also sit there. you could Not Do That, sir* Arsé-kun: Barok: .... They were. *the vibes here are now uncomfy* Arsé-kun: *... and there's muffled grumbling from the sack Nyar brought back with him. Watson takes particular notice of it* Arsé-kun: ??: .... and I thought Azathoth had no focus, but now his kid forgets about me. Like father like fission. How long am I supposed to wait to meet mine, a thousand eons until death dies..?? Sheepy: Nyar: Oh geez, my bag is talking! Sheepy: Nyar: Why?- Hey, chairs are built for one person! Arsé-kun: Aza: .... That matters..? Sheepy: Nyar: ... Eh, I break all other rules! Sheepy: Sherlock: What’s in your bag? Sheepy: Sherlock: Is it a child in your Krampus sack? Sheepy: Nyar: You think I eat children? Sheepy: Sherlock: Yes. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... Sheepy: Nyar: No! I don’t eat people! Sheepy: Nyar: They’re probably like sloths. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... You're not y'g-- What Sheepy: Nyar: You don’t know? Sheepy: Nyar: Sloths are blind, slow, and have basically no intelligence. Sheepy: Nyar: They survive by being not worth eating. Arsé-kun: ??: *still muffled by the bag* You're not worth it either! Sheepy: Nyar: Hey! Sheepy: Sherlock: Who is in the bag? Arsé-kun: Aza: .... 'y is M'les here...? Sheepy: Nyar: Why not? I’m spending Christmas with you so he should spend Christmas with Watson. Whatever. Maybe I’m growing soft! Arsé-kun: *Watson slowly. Puts his cup down so he doesn't inevitably drop it* Sheepy: Nyar: *he opens the bag* Arsé-kun: Miles: *visibly frustrated with Nyar. this boy looks like Watson. This should not be as shocking as it is.* Sheepy: Nyar: Hey, you should’ve said something sooner. Sheepy: Sherlock: Hey, your bag really is a Krampus sack. My deduction was correct. Sheepy: Sherlock: But why does he look familiar? Arsé-kun: Miles: I'm not that young, Uncle Holmes..! *the frustration continues* Sheepy: Sherlock: Mycroft has a third child?! Arsé-kun: Miles: No!! Sheepy: Sherlock: ...Aha! The second guess is always right! Sheepy: Sherlock: ...Harley has a child?! Arsé-kun: Miles: *he just slowly looks at Nyar* I thought you told them already! Sheepy: Nyar: I did. Sheepy: Nyar: Holmes is just an idiot. Sheepy: Sherlock: I’m not. Sheepy: Nyar: Oh, he has close competition. Arsé-kun: Aza: :I Arsé-kun: Watson: ... Sherlock, may I suggest an alternative solution? heepy: Nyar: The brains is the other one who doesn’t seem interested in you. He is, but he’s nervous around children because he never was one himself and doesn’t know how to interact with them. Sheepy: Nyar: This one’s an empty suit. Sheepy: Sherlock: What is it? Arsé-kun: Watson: He's mine!! *he goes over and, with the tables assistance, gets down to Miles' level. He starts to say something, but Miles throws himself onto Watson. Aw. Finally united.* Sheepy: Sherlock: Huuuuuh? Sheepy: Sherlock: But you only have Iris... Sheepy: Nyar: I explained this to you. I explained this to you! Arsé-kun: Aza: .... .... Free fetus in the morgue. Sheepy: Nyar: Hey, that’s not why. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... But it was free. Sheepy: Nyar: I got fascinated because that old witch decided to assassinate the mother. Arsé-kun: Aza: free Sheepy: Nyar: Was that really your reason? Arsé-kun: Aza: .... No but it isn't wrong. Sheepy: Nyar: Sheesh, try to think towards the future a little more...Oh. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... ... *he starts considering tomorrow. time may be a construct but he can think about it. it will be a day. and he's bored already* ... The future exists, I can certainly say. Sheepy: Nyar: That’s it, huh... Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Do have a single idea. Merely one. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... *he reaches across the table to snag a blank piece of paper from Harley and starts sketching something. you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a human arm. it is not. he is focused on this One Task, he's gonna Do Something* Sheepy: Nyar: What is that? Arsé-kun: Aza: Saw something. *he adds a few feathers. oh. it's a wing. well, the skeletal structure of one* Sheepy: Nyar: What, a bird? Arsé-kun: Aza: No. Sheepy: Nyar: Hmmm...Wings... Arsé-kun: Barok: *he leans forward for a better view* Ain't mine, I'll tell you that much. Sheepy: Nyar: Maybe that gremlin. Arsé-kun: Barok: *visible alarm* Sheepy: Nyar: What? It’s not your problem. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... Fixing is morally "good", yes..? Is that how this works...? Sheepy: Nyar: Yeah, I guess so! Sheepy: Nyar: You break something and fix it and people will consider you good for fixing it, huh? Arsé-kun: Aza: .... But if I didn't break it... Sheepy: Nyar: I could! Arsé-kun: Aza: Not this. Got something else for you. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh? I can’t shatter the kid? That’s no fun. Arsé-kun: Barok: Try n' I cut you into tiny pieces! Sheepy: Nyar: Oh, you’re more fun when you’re drunk! Sheepy: Nyar: Although his Dad’ll kill me if I do... Arsé-kun: Barok: I'll do it sober--- Arsé-kun: Barok: THAT'S what you meant, you dog?! Sheepy: Nyar: Huh, you didn’t know? Sheepy: Nyar: Of course I know the guy. I’ve worked with him. Arsé-kun: Barok: I figured, but never thought you'd be outright! *his hand's on his sword hilt. Nyar? you're in danger* Sheepy: Nyar: Huh. I didn’t do anything to the guy, you know? Sheepy: Nyar: I didn’t make him sign any unfun contracts. Sheepy: Nyar: Maybe. Sheepy: Nyar: ...With the reward of granting a wish. Maybe. Sheepy: Nyar: Who knows! Sheepy: Nyar: But sometimes the people you hold dear are capable of unspeakable things. Perhaps they aren’t forced into it as you may think. Arsé-kun: Barok: *he starts getting up irregardless. He's so completely done with Nyar's shit* Sheepy: Nyar: Oh? You’re approaching me? Arsé-kun: Aza: *without looking up* Don't get blood on my studies, children. Arsé-kun: Barok: I can't beat the hell out of you without.... Actually, I can, but it's not fun. You deserve my sword. Sheepy: Nyar: Then come as close as you’d like! Sheepy: Harley: Don’t get blood on my work. Go stab him over there if you want. Arsé-kun: Barok: I won't. No guarantees he won't. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh? Can’t handle a little show and tell? Gotta get all stabby? Arsé-kun: Barok: Absolutely not. Perish. Arsé-kun: *Barok lunges over the chairs at Nyar, but both of them suddenly just Stop in place. No color, no movement, it's very eerie and obviously not right. Azathoth glances up at this and mumbles something about his grandson. The paused individuals are warped out back and dropped face-first into the snow. The Christmas tree- or something on it- quietly laughs.* Sheepy: Nyar: Huh! Sheepy: Nyar: That's unique. Sheepy: Nyar: You can try to kill me, but you're shutting up a pretty good resource, you know? Not to worry, though. Sheepy: Nyar: Accidents happen. Sheepy: Nyar: So even if you do cut off a valuable resource, you'll learn what I know, huh? Just...There'll be more... Sheepy: Nyar: ...Accidents. Arsé-kun: Barok: *he glowers at Nyar from the snowbank he landed in* You can't die yet, certainly, but I can make you shut up for the evening at least. Sheepy: Nyar: Can you? Arsé-kun: Barok: We'll certainly find out! Sheepy: Nyar: Greater foes have tried to shut me up in the past with no avail. Sheepy: Nyar: But, you know, I'm kinda petty, huh? Someone bats me around and I think...Huh! Sheepy: Nyar: Their toy train looks pretty cool. It'd be a shame if something happened to it. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... *he slowly pulls out his undoubtedly holy sword. On Christmas, the Holy day of Jesus' birth. 5x damage mod.* Sheepy: Nyar: But that toy train could easily mow down a few innocents on its tracks thanks to its destructive potential, huh? If its safety brakes fail enough times, it may end up dismantled. Sheepy: Nyar: Maybe its safety brakes have failed before. Arsé-kun: Barok: Maybe you crushed the safety brakes for a thrill. Sheepy: Nyar: Oh, no. Sheepy: Nyar: Not yet. Arsé-kun: Barok: Not "yet" you say, actively trying to annoy me. Sheepy: Nyar: Right now little Thomas the Tank Engine is just tooting on his merry way, you know? Sheepy: Nyar: But what if I shatter the safety brakes? Sheepy: Nyar: I wonder what would happen? Would you let little Tommy go on a rampage? Or stop it yourself, risking damaging the frame? I'm a little petty. A little curious. Arsé-kun: Barok: I don't think your father would like you messing with his subject. What would he think? You could ruin his entire study. Sheepy: Nyar: You'd let him get studied by my Dad? Sheepy: Nyar: Wow. Arsé-kun: Barok: If he keeps his word, I may permit it. Sometimes stupid works, as you prove. Sheepy: Nyar: You really trust too much. Arsé-kun: Barok: You think too lowly of him. Maybe that's why you have daddy issues. Sheepy: Nyar: Once Dad gets bored with his toy it's my toy. Leftovers, perhaps, but I like you. You fascinate me. So maybe I'll want that toy. Sheepy: Nyar: Daddy issues, huh? Sheepy: Nyar: But he's slowly getting better at that. Arsé-kun: Barok: "I hope dad~dy says I did a good job!" Sheepy: Nyar: Ah, but do you have anyone who even cares about you enough to give you loving praise anymore? Sheepy: Nyar: I find value in it because I care about him. Arsé-kun: Barok: But I thought you didn't want to "Go soft", and here you are caring. Cute. Sheepy: Nyar: I've been going soft for a while. Sheepy: Nyar: It'll make things worse when I inevitably cause trouble again! Arsé-kun: Barok: IF you do! Sheepy: Nyar: If I don't, that's better for you, huh? Arsé-kun: Barok: A tad boring, but easier. Sheepy: Nyar: I can't let things get boring. Arsé-kun: Barok: Then quit yapping and actually do something! Sheepy: Nyar: But I can't be predictable either, huh? Sheepy: Nyar: Dad won't mind if someone else breaks his toy...Hm. Hmmm. Sheepy: Nyar:....Hmmm, it'll take a bit of setup, but it'll work. Sheepy: Nyar: I hope you like my surprise. Arsé-kun: Barok: Already don't! Sheepy: Nyar: Haha, you haven't seen it yet. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Shut up and fight me already. This is the best fight I'll get all year. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh? But I'm having fun trashtalking. Arsé-kun: Barok: Then multitask! Sheepy: Nyar: Pshaw, I can't multitask....UUUGHHH, fiiiiiiine. It'll be your Christmas gift. Arsé-kun: Barok: Thank you. I'll be sure to stab you in your little black soul. Sheepy: Nyar: Huh? That doesn't sound fun. Arsé-kun: Barok: Oh, it will be. For me. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh, I'm real rusty, you know? This won't be fun. Arsé-kun: Barok: Somehow, I don't trust that. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh, fine, I'm not full power 'cause I lost a lot of it to some old lady. Arsé-kun: Barok: *snrk* You wot? Sheepy: Nyar: So don't laugh at me when I don't pulverize you with one swat. Arsé-kun: Barok: That'll make it more fun. Sheepy: Nyar: Hey, it makes sense in context. Sheepy: *Nyar shifts into a tentacle creature. effervescent* Arsé-kun: *arséne, watching from upstairs, dies instantly. 1hko. big fear. help him* Sheepy: *Offscreen Crow is wondering how much sushi can be made out of Nyar* Arsé-kun: *Aza sees the issue with this about 15 seconds late and censors the yard from the outside. Go Wild!* Sheepy: *Nyar engages in a battle with Barok!* Arsé-kun: *there's enough flashy lights and big meaty tentacle THWAPS to call it anime. but it isn't, and the THWAPS are barely audible. thanks aza.* Sheepy: *Crow is disappointed because he wanted to watch his uncle be cool* Arsé-kun: *He can go into the yard, but it is not recommended* Sheepy: *he is, surprisingly, not that stupid* Arsé-kun: *SHOCKER* Arsé-kun: *aza, taking Excessive notes on crow's wings in the bg. In Ter Est Ing* Sheepy: *Crow feels watched but he isn't sure why* Arsé-kun: *CROW YOU HAVE EYES AND A NECK THAT ALLOWS SWIVELING. USE THEM* Arsé-kun: *Randy is trying to pull Mysterious Orb Ornaments off the tree. With oven mitts. It is not going well. He's gone through four sets of mitts so far.* Sheepy: *thank you randy. Crow looks around* Arsé-kun: *Aza's right there, taking a lot of notes. Can't see his eyes but you damn well know he's staring* Sheepy: Crow: Eh? What is it? Arsé-kun rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 20 Arsé-kun: Aza: Your wings are damaged. I like fixing things when I am aware enough to not mess up. You follow, yes? Sheepy: Crow: Uh... Yeah? Arsé-kun: *he is ACTIVATED. The band is dead. Respawning in 20...* Sheepy: Crow: Uh? Sheepy: Crow: ...Hey, you’re kinda scary. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... I have not heard that for a while. Thank you. *dumbass, that is not a compliment* Sheepy: Crow: Y-You’re welcome?? Sheepy: Crow: ...Hey, how do you inow about my wings being damaged? Arsé-kun: Aza: Given that I am awake, I can see it with ease. Sheepy: Crow: Oh, uhhh... Great. Arsé-kun: Aza: Now. I can trace the damage to some bone fractures on your right side, and the inconsistent shattering on your left. Don't ask for bone names, I don't know them yet. Sheepy: Crow: What do you intend to do about it? Arsé-kun: Aza: I would like to see if I can repair it, as a human hospital would not be able to do it. Sheepy: Crow: ...? Sheepy: Crow: Human hospital?... You can see the bones?! Sheepy: Crow: Hey, that’s pretty cool! Arsé-kun: Aza: ... ... Thank you. Arsé-kun rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 1 Arsé-kun rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 2 Arsé-kun: Aza: ... No matter your say, it will have to... wait... Arsé-kun: *Aza starts sagging against a wall, and recognizing this, tries to make it back to his chair. This goes about as well as you'd expect. Two steps and dooooown that wall he goes. The band has resumed. (Un)fortunate.* Sheepy: Crow: Huh. He’s dead. Arsé-kun: Randy: N-not exactly.. *he joins Crow, clutching the Mystery Orbs like a lifesaver* Just sleeping. S-sorry if he scared you, he's... Just like this. Sheepy: Crow: I’m strong so I don’t have to worry that much. Arsé-kun: Randy: Y-you keep that train of thought. Sheepy: Crow: You don’t seem so sure... Arsé-kun: Randy: He's, um. On the "Mad" side of "Mad Scientist". Among others. Sheepy: Crow: Like... uh... Sheepy: Crow: Frankenberry! Arsé-kun: Randy: ... Like the original man, yes. Sheepy: Crow: Original? Sheepy: Crow: Like Kellogs? Arsé-kun: Randy: ... No wonder he liked you. *smh* Sheepy: Crow: What? Arsé-kun: Randy: .. I meant the original Frankenstein. The man had a family, after all. Sheepy: Crow: Isn’t that the green guy’s name? Arsé-kun: Randy: It would also be the dead man's last name, yes. Sheepy: Crow: What, he’s dead?! Sheepy: Crow: Sheesh, that’s scary! Ghosts are terrifying! Arsé-kun: Randy: Well, obviously. Men can only survive so long in the Arc- what Arsé-kun: Randy: ... Just use a salt circle for ghosts. Arsé-kun: Randy: Unless it's extraordinarily powerful, in which case... You're an angel, can't you just fight it? Sheepy: Crow: Eh?... Sheepy: Crow:...L-Listen, at one point I was really strong, okay? Sheepy: Crow: When I fell, I lost a lot of my power. I don't know why. Sheepy: Crow: You don't just suddenly lose things and have it dissipate. It must go somewhere! Arsé-kun: Randy: It probably went towards keeping you alive. Sheepy: Crow: That's why I only have two wings right now. I'm hoping the other four return. It doesn't feel right like this. Arsé-kun: Randy: I can relate. I've lost things before as well. It's never a good feeling. Sheepy: Crow: One time my favorite cow got loose and I cried a lot. I probably felt as much distress about losing my wings as I did about losing my favorite cow... Sheepy: Crow: She came back later that day because cows want to be milked at a specific time and get upset when they aren't. Arsé-kun: Randy: Good to know... Sheepy: Crow: It turned out that I forgot to lock the gate the night before and she got curious about a cat wandering around. Sheepy: Crow: I suppose I should've trusted her after all. Sheepy: Crow: I miss her and all of my other cows. I'd give them hugs and they liked cuddling. Arsé-kun: Randy: This is.. Probably why you got more cow merchandise. Sheepy: Crow: Huh?! Arsé-kun: the orbs: *cheerfully* That is correct information! *they sound like wind chimes mixed with the bgm of heavy metal, but only the bassline like 4 houses away* Sheepy: Crow: Woah! A talking gumball! Arsé-kun: orbs: Wow, that's a new one! Sheepy: Crow: Is it? Sheepy: Crow: What's your name, gumball? I'm Crow! With an r! Arsé-kun: orbs: Yog. Pleasure to aquaint. Sheepy: Crow: Yogurt gumball...Hmm... Arsé-kun: Yog: I do not recommend trying to taste me. It will go poorly in all timelines. Sheepy: Crow: I won't. You talk, so it'd be gross to taste you. Arsé-kun: Yog: Thank you. It would be uncomfortable for all involved. Sheepy: Crow: Including me! Arsé-kun: Yog: Especially you. Sheepy: Crow: Uncle probably would have some choice words for me too...Hey, I wonder what happened to him. Arsé-kun: Yog: I could tell you. It has already passed, so it would not be "Spoilers". Sheepy: Crow: I bet he won! Arsé-kun: Yog: ... ... Yeah, in about four out of a million timelines. This is not one of those four. Sheepy: Crow: Eeehhh?! He LOST?? Sheepy: Crow: But he always beats that guy! Sure, that guy never really fights back... Arsé-kun: Yog: He got rekt. Sheepy: Crow: But on such a holy day!? Sheepy: Crow: That guy must have cheated, right? Right? Arsé-kun: Yog: Oh, very likely, given its Nyarlathotep. But there is not much cheating when being told to go all out. Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Arsé-kun: Yog: ... The archangel was only level 50 in comparison to Nyarly's 200. Sheepy: Crow: How strong could that guy b- EH??? Sheepy: Crow: Not even Dad could've beat him if that's true...!!! Arsé-kun: Yog: Correct. In a group, perhaps, but not in a solo. Sheepy: Crow: Then why does he always just mouth off? Arsé-kun: Yog: It's more fun, he says. Sheepy: Crow: Like a cat with a mouse... Arsé-kun: Randy: His bite is actually worse than his bark, shockingly. He just plays around. Arsé-kun: Yog: "Careful" will not be enough. I can wish you luck, but luck is only a mathematical odd. Sheepy: Crow: What does that mean? Arsé-kun: Yog: No spoilers. Sheepy: Crow:...? Arsé-kun: Randy: He's being a smartass. He said good luck. Arsé-kun: Randy: You might, uh. Want to get the healer from upstairs. Your uncles in a... Well, um. Sheepy: Crow: Healer? Arsé-kun: Yog: He ate shit and got assblasted six ways from sunday. Sheepy: Crow: Is he- ? Sheepy: Crow:?? Arsé-kun: Randy: *ignoring Yog* He's alive, yes. Sheepy: Crow: Who's the healer? Arsé-kun: Randy: the Saint. White hair, never has his eyes open. Last I checked, he was going upstairs. Sheepy: *Crow doesn't find him.* Arsé-kun: *Arséne is not the Saint. Watson, Iris, and Miles are not the Saint. Tom staring at Crow from a window is not the Saint* Sheepy: Crow: This guy simply doesn't exist! Arsé-kun: Randy: I, um. I meant the stairs a room over that way. *he gestures and almost drops several Yog Orbs.* Sheepy: Crow: What kinda Saint is even alive anymore? Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: Oh!! Sheepy: *Crow goes the directed way.* Arsé-kun: *That goes a lot better* Sheepy: Crow: There you are! Saint...Saint... Sheepy: Crow: You seem Saint George enough! Arsé-kun: Germain: ... Hm, I'll allow it. May I help you? Sheepy: Crow: I need you to heal my uncle. Arsé-kun: Germain: Is that who unwisely fought the Haunter of the Dark? Terrible idea, but I will lend my assistance. Sheepy: Crow: He lost against the noodle man. Arsé-kun: Germain: Noodle man... If you want to insult him, suggest his brain is shaped like a doughnut. Sheepy: Crow: It's no insult. Sheepy: Crow: He has noodle arms. Arsé-kun: Germain: Inflatable tube Nyar... *he pats Crow's head and goes downstairs* Sheepy: Crow: Hey! Sheepy: Crow: *he follows Saint* Arsé-kun: *Germain sticks his head out the back door, through the censoring field and says Something before pulling back in* Arsé-kun: Germain: It's very bloody out there. Stay here, good angel. Sheepy: Crow: But is he okay?! Arsé-kun: Germain: :) Sheepy: Crow: Is he?! Arsé-kun: Germain: Well, I can't revive the dead, so me going to help should be a clear answer. Sheepy: Crow: ? Arsé-kun: *Germain goes out and makes sure to close the door in Crow's face* Sheepy: *Crow is waiting anxiously bythe door* Arsé-kun: *Barok eventually drags himself back indoors. Blood free!* Sheepy: Crow: Y-you're alive...! Arsé-kun: Barok: Yes. In absolute hellish agony, but alive. Sheepy: Crow: That Saint Joe guy didn't heal you? Arsé-kun: Barok: He did. The wounds are gone, the pain is not. Sheepy: Crow: ?....... Sheepy: Crow: Like my wings! Arsé-kun: Barok: ... I suppose so. Sheepy: Crow: You know what eases pain for me? Arsé-kun: Barok: .... cows. Sheepy: Crow: Sleeping. Arsé-kun: Barok: ... That does sound nice, but not here. Sheepy: Crow: The beds at the old man's place are comfy! If you lie in the snow near his home he might give you one like he did for me. Sheepy: Crow: Although I don't remember a thing about that past what I've been told. Arsé-kun: Barok: ....... I think I may just head home soon instead. Sheepy: Crow: Is that far away? Arsé-kun: Barok: Within walking distance. Sheepy: Crow: Eh, seriously?! It's that close and I've never gone over to visit?! Arsé-kun: Barok: .... I do not like this concept. Sheepy: Crow: You don't want me to visit? Arsé-kun: Barok: Not tonight. Sheepy: Crow: But eventually? Arsé-kun: Barok: Eventually. Sheepy: Crow: Great! I'm looking forward to this! Sheepy: Crow: But for now, you should recuperate! Arsé-kun: *Impey has discovered the free vampire snowcone supply and risks Nyar obliterating him for it. After all that cooking, he can have a little treat* Sheepy: *impey NO* Arsé-kun: *IMPEY YES* Sheepy: *impey that is probably poisonous* Arsé-kun: *So is caffeine, what's your point* Sheepy: *true* Arsé-kun: *Finis notices Sheepy reading (wow!) and goes to look over his shoulder* Arsé-kun: *Finis immediately develops the most splitting headache he's ever had in his life. The kind where there's knives through your head and behind your eyes. But on icyhot.* Arsé-kun: *Yog, having left Randy, settles on Sheepy's lap, all uncountable varied orbs and one big orb. Hello. Look at me, not the book. But not too hard.* Sheepy: Sheepy: *he looks down at the orbs* Oh, hi. Arsé-kun: Yog: Good afternoon. I must ask out of social respect, but how did you receive this book? Sheepy: Sheepy: Christmas present. Arsé-kun: Yog: Interesting. *the orbs pile up so the biggest orb can see over the edge of the table. they small.* Sheepy: Sheepy: Do you want to read it? Arsé-kun: Yog: Not in its entirety. At least, not yet. Sheepy: Sheepy: Oh, alright. Arsé-kun: *OK CHRISTMAS OVER IM BORED LETS GO NEXT NIGHT BC HECK THE YOU* Sheepy: Crow: --I usually eat the head first so it doesn't smile at me as I eat it. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Finally, you say something with a lick of sense! Sheepy: Aion: They're inanimate objects. Sheepy: Shuzo: I eat the head last so it can give its last wishes to its fellow friends before it inevitably perishes ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: How romantic ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: .... *he wordlessly just pops one into his mouth. Whole.* Sheepy: Crow: The ultimate level of cruelty! Arsé-kun: Rom: A quick and easy death. Sheepy: Shuzo: They say that's the best way to eat vegetables. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Who is "they"? Who says that? Sheepy: Crow: You sat near me and somehow I ended up with more vegetables than usual... Sheepy: Shuzo: Well, parents say drinking nasty medicine quickly makes it go down easier. Sheepy: Shuzo: The same would probably go for vegetables. Sheepy: Crow: I wonder how my vegetables duplicated... Sheepy: Shuzo: It's a secret ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Shuzo, you coward. I would have eaten them and still asked for more! Sheepy: Shuzo: Really? Maybe you'll end up with more next time. Sheepy: Shuzo: Such a serious tone, however ⭐ I guess if I don't eat my veggies you'll refer to me as a stranger would ⭐ How cold... Arsé-kun: Rom: What kind of man are you if you don't?? Sheepy: Shuzo: One that gets his nutrition from other places. Arsé-kun: Rom: Oh, so the hospital. Sheepy: Shuzo: Haha, how cruel ⭐ I suppose I'm in medical centers quite a bit, but that really digs deep... Arsé-kun: Rom: ... Sorry. I'm not really thinking about what I'm saying. Maybe I should get to bed so I can be up for work tomorrow.. Sheepy: Shuzo: How romantic ⭐ You look at me and stop thinking ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Oh, like you're any different. Sheepy: Shuzo: We can have our heads in the clouds together ⭐ My dream prince ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: Eh, you really don't make much sense, do you? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I don't think we're meant to look too deeply into it. On the contrary, there could be hidden meanings that we aren't picking up on... Sheepy: Crow: Maybe he can grow real tall and put his head in the sky. Sheepy: Aion: No. Arsé-kun: *Rom gets up to go to bed. He steals another peep before leaving, though* Sheepy: Shuzo: No good night...how cruel... Sheepy: Shuzo: He forgot to brush his teeth... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence, he isn't going to do that in Here, in front of us!! Sheepy: Shuzo: I suppose. Sheepy: Crow: There's drinkable toothpaste. Sheepy: Crow: Maybe he's gonna use that. Arsé-kun: *Cyan looks up from her phone to stare at Crow* Sheepy: Crow: You've seen it, right? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: You mean mouthwash?? The liquid you spit out after twenty seconds to remove excess junk? th[omitted] Sheepy: Crow:...... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: .... Sheepy: Crow: Spit out? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Crow, no!!! Don't swallow mouthwash! Sheepy: Crow: It cleans your teeth, right? Your teeth're bones. Sheepy: Crow: So if I drink it it'll clean my skeleton. Sheepy: Shuzo: You know what? It's too stupid. I can't argue against that. Sheepy: Crow: I didn't like swallowing toothpaste so I swallow mouthwash instead. I use toothpaste but I spit it out after cleaning my teeth because it feels gross. Sheepy: Shuzo: You hurt me. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Oh, trust me, this hurts all of us greatly. Arsé-kun: *Rom quietly starts passing back through.* Sheepy: Aion: What a foolish rodent... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ... Even Rom, who's probably back to punch Crow for this! Sheepy: Crow: Rom! Do you drink mouthwash? Sheepy: Shuzo:......... Arsé-kun: *Rom doesn't answer* Sheepy: Shuzo: Ah... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Um? Are we being ignored on purpose..? Sheepy: Shuzo: My dream prince ⭐ Your vibes are less of a dream and more of a nightmare ⭐ Arsé-kun: Cyan: *she bats a star away. haha shiny thing go whoosh* Shu-zo, what's that supposed to mean? Sheepy: Shuzo: It's difficult to explain but that doesn't feel like Rom. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: H-hence?? A fake Rom?? Sheepy: Shuzo: How sad. I wanted to give him a good night peck and he went and got an evil creature in his body instead ... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: EEEHHH?? Sheepy: Shuzo: You didn't notice? Arsé-kun: Cyan: What do you think it is? A ghost? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: D-d-don't, don't say thaaa-aaaat!! Sheepy: Crow: Hey, Mr. Ghost! Get out of Rom! Sheepy: Shuzo: How sad ⭐ I was hoping to go surprise you, but you surprised me ⭐ Unfortunately, this surprise isn’t so dreamy. Sheepy: Aion: How can a ghost be removed? Sheepy: Shuzo: We don’t know if that’s what it is- Crow, no! Sheepy: Crow: Have a taste of my crimson fist if you refuse to leave! *he attempts to punch Rom* Arsé-kun: *It easily connects, since Rom is ignoring(?) Crow completely. The fact that he just got punched was ALSO ignored entirely. Rom just keeps going. Crow not immediately getting punched into the floor is Key Evidence that Shit's Fucky* Sheepy: Crow: Oi! Come back! Sheepy: Crow: *he chases after Rom and tries to tackle him* Sheepy: *...but misses and lands on his face.* Arsé-kun: *Rom just leaves. No acknowledgment for Crow failing miserably* Sheepy: *Crow picks himself up and chases after Rom* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: :v Sheepy: Aion: That foolish rodent is endangering himself. Sheepy: Shuzo: Well, we did let him leave. Arsé-kun: Cyan: He's usually okay, nya~n! He's not st... Well, er. Sheepy: Shuzo: His vibes are warm and otherworldly ⭐ I can tell if he feels endangered by Rom, the one who will be in danger is Rom. Arsé-kun: Cyan: *she tilts her head* Then why don't I hear Crow yelling? Sheepy: Shuzo: ...? Sheepy: Shuzo: He never really lowers his voice, does he? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Abs-solutely not, he never does, [omitted stuttering] Sheepy: Aion: That rodent ran away like the insignificant creature he is... Sheepy: Aion: He’s scared of ghosts. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: O-oh, l-like you're n-not! Sheepy: Aion: ........... Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God despises your slander. Sheepy: Shuzo: Ah ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: How strange, he disappeared ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: E-eh?! What do you mean he DISAPPEARED?! It's Crow! He can't just stop existing whenever he wants!! Sheepy: Shuzo: Well, I don’t feel him anymore. Sheepy: Shuzo: If we go out as well we may be at risk of ascension to heaven Arsé-kun: Cyan: Mrrrooww?!?!!?? Sheepy: Shuzo: ...It’s a joke ⭐ Arsé-kun: Cyan: *she bats at Shuzo's ear* That's not funny! Sheepy: Shuzo: My apologies. Sheepy: Shuzo: We could look out the window. Arsé-kun: *Cyan bounces off the couch and up to the window, pressing her face up against it.* Arsé-kun: Cyan: Rom yes, Crow no! D'ya think he went up? Sheepy: Shuzo: We should bring Rom in. Sheepy: Shuzo: ...But Crow wouldn’t just ditch him. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence, this doesn't add up at all.. Sheepy: Aion: ... Sheepy: Aion: Twinkle, twinkle, goes the light in the darkness... A little fish approaches, hungering for its warmth. But behind its glow is the maw of the beast, snapping it up. Sheepy: Shuzo: I’m glad we had this conversation where I don’t understand what you’re saying⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: He said "It was a trap like an angler fish", which is actually a really effecti[omitted] Sheepy: Shuzo: I see. Sheepy: Shuzo: I don’t feel anyone out there currently. Arsé-kun: Cyan: So it's safe! Sheepy: Aion: ...But if th-that rodent got snapped up... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Then we go together! Sheepy: Shuzo: Okay ⭐️ Let’s let Rom freeze to death ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: No!! Sheepy: Shuzo: Then let’s get going. Arsé-kun: *Everyone coats up and goes to get Rom. He's STILL just going in a straight line through the snow, so he's easy to catch up to* Sheepy: *Shuzo grabs Rom* Sheepy: Shuzo: I wonder what’s causing him to act this way. Arsé-kun: *Rom just tries to keep going forward. No force, just going like a wind-up toy after it's been picked up* Sheepy: Shuzo: How peculiar... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: If we turn him around, will he go back in on his own..? Sheepy: *Shuzo turns him around* Arsé-kun: *Rom does, in fact, blankly start walking back towards the house.* Sheepy: Aion: Where is his key? Perhaps if we manually turn it he’ll run out of steam. Sheepy: Shuzo: If only we knew the problem... Sheepy: Aion: He’s like a windup toy. So we have to find his key. Arsé-kun: *Rom successfully makes it back! ... Before tripping on the step INTO the house and falling straight onto his face.* Sheepy: Shuzo: ...Hey, we should grab him before he trips on something and gets hurt- Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh. Sheepy: *Shuzo rushes over to him. The sickly guy breathing in cold air with recently broken ribs. Yes. Smart* Sheepy: Shuzo: What’s causing you to walk in a line like this... Arsé-kun: *Rom is trying to move, but it isn't working at all. He's Stuck* Sheepy: Shuzo: ... ... Sheepy: Shuzo: Haha... It really doesn’t make sense. Arsé-kun: Cyan: Lets figure it out inside! It's cooolld! Sheepy: Shuzo: Right, fine. Sheepy: Aion: Ah... Twist his key.. Snap it off. Let him be free... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: That sounds like snapping someone's neck as a mercy kill... Sheepy: Shuzo: I’m really glad we had this conversation ⭐️ I learned a lot ⭐️ *He shifts Rom to the sofa* Sheepy: Aion: You must remove it. You must. Sheepy: Aion: It consumes him. Twist it. Break it. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba brushes Rom's hair out of the way. There is, in fact, a little metal thing on his neck. It looks sorta like a ladybug, but all silver* Sheepy: Aion: It consumes him... Ah... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: A-ah... You saw this before us! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God... sees all. Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Sheepy: Shuzo: What is it? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I've got no idea. I'm almost too scared to touch it. Sheepy: Shuzo: I can try calling the weirdest person I know ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: Or we can try removing it with no ideas? Arsé-kun: Cyan: We can try just pulling it off like a bug? Sheepy: Shuzo: Let’s do that. Gently. Arsé-kun: *Some of it moves, but the head is firmly stuck* Sheepy: *He gently wiggles it* Arsé-kun: *With a little *pop*, it comes right off!* Sheepy: Shuzo: I need something to put it in. Sheepy: Shuzo: We don’t know what it is so we should keep an eye on it ⭐ Arsé-kun: *Yaiba goes and gets an empty tupperware* Sheepy: *Shuzo puts the bug in it* Sheepy: Shuzo: Thank you. ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: *he nudges Rom* Arsé-kun: Rom: AH! *he's very suddenly startled out of his trance and jumps up onto his feet, accidentally, knocking Aion over in the process* !! Sheepy: Aion: Ugh! Sheepy: Shuzo: Hmm. Sheepy: Shuzo: Not very elegant ⭐️ Arsé-kun: Rom: ... ....??? *he looks around before helping Aion back up* Sheepy: Aion: ........You notice not the Dark Sun God... A crime... Sheepy: Shuzo: Good morning ⭐️ Arsé-kun: Rom: Morning...? But I thought I was... *the leopard tries to process complex abstractions* Sheepy: Shuzo: Hmm. I suppose we should explain. Sheepy: Shuzo: You said you were going to bed. You didn’t. Sheepy: Shuzo: Instead, you went outside. Arsé-kun: Rom: ....????? I didn't... Did I? Sheepy: Shuzo: Crab followed you and was kidnapped ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo: It seems a little ladybug was controlling you ⭐️ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: This one. *he lightly shakes the tupperware* Arsé-kun: *Rom doesn't seem entirely convinced until he realizes his pants legs are covered in snow. And nothing else.* Sheepy: Shuzo: How are you feeling? Arsé-kun: Rom: Tired and cold. Sheepy: Shuzo: Please rest. We should probably call his uncle soon, as nice as the quiet is ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Wait... That was serious? He's really missing? Sheepy: Shuzo: Yes. Arsé-kun: Rom: !!! Sheepy: Shuzo: You were bait ⭐️ He took it hook, line, and sinker ⭐️ Arsé-kun: Rom: Will you PLEASE stop doing that?? Sheepy: Shuzo: My apologies ⭐️ Force of habit. Arsé-kun: Rom: I'd hate to see you during a fire alarm. Sheepy: Shuzo: Why? Arsé-kun: Rom: I can already see you giving double peace signs and throwing stars into the fire. Sheepy: Shuzo: Hmm. Sheepy: Aion: Who could possibly want that rodent? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: That's what I don't get either. Who really would be? Sheepy: Shuzo: We should call his uncle. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I hope he answers.. Sheepy: Shuzo: Do you have his number? Sheepy: Shuzo: Just call until he does if you do Sheepy: Shuzo: Or I might have it. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ... Hence, I, of course, don't have it. Sheepy: Aion:.......*he's trembling, but takes out his phone and calls Barok* Arsé-kun: Barok: Good evening, Black Prince, how may I help you? Sheepy: Aion: *he nervously mumbles for a bit* Arsé-kun: Barok: Take your time. Sheepy: Aion: Ah....Ah...........The rodent... Arsé-kun: Barok: What happened? *he's very serious suddenly* Sheepy: Aion: He's been stolen... Oh...But who did it? ........ Arsé-kun: Barok: *he's quiet for a few moments. something is slammed against* .. I'll be right over. Sheepy: Aion: Yes...Good. Do so. Sheepy: Aion: *nervous mumbling* Sheepy: Aion: *he hangs up* Sheepy: *Aion waits* Arsé-kun: *There's a little beam of light outside, for just a moment. There's a knock on the door seconds later.* Sheepy: *Aion goes to open it. that's a first* Arsé-kun: *It's Barok! Already! He rushed.* Sheepy: Aion: The rodent...He's snatched away...Ah... Like a mouse hunting for cheese...But the cat's paw is on the other side... Sheepy: Aion: Rom...as bait. Someone who knows to use our bond against us... and knows our personalities well. Arsé-kun: Barok: I see... Lets sit down, and you can tell me about it. Sheepy: Aion: ..... *he goes and sits* Arsé-kun: *Barok pulls up a chair and joins the circle* Sheepy: Aion: Behold...Behold... Sheepy: Aion: The key. The instigator. So little, yet so effective. Arsé-kun: Barok: How quaint. *he picks up the tupperware for a better look. it doesn't help much.* Sheepy: Aion: Do you recognize it? Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God feels distress at this silence...The rodent is like a permanent fixture...So to have him gone... It's wrong... Arsé-kun: *Rom is Uncomfortable™* Sheepy: Shuzo: That thing feels very wrong to me ⭐ Arsé-kun: Barok: I am inclined to agree, unnecessary glitter aside. Sheepy: Shuzo: I suppose it gives us hints to whodunnit. Sheepy: Shuzo: But it's not familiar to me. Your vibes are familiar, though. Sheepy: Shuzo: They're warm and otherworldly, just like Crane ⭐ Arsé-kun: Barok: ... You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Sheepy: Shuzo: Hehe. Sheepy: Shuzo: Maybe ⭐ Arsé-kun: Barok: *he bonks Shuzo with the star and goes to make a phonecall or two* Arsé-kun: *boopdiboop* Sheepy: Sheepy: Ew, a phone call. At this time of night? Arsé-kun: Arséne: .... Yeah, yeah, I'll ask. *he stifles a yawn* Gimme a minute. *he puts his hand over the receiver* Yes. Can you or Randy make sure Nyar is still here? I need to minimize options. The little fallen angel went missing. Sheepy: Sheepy: Randy, Nyar's causing problems again. Arsé-kun: Randy: .... *he looks insulted, shocked and upset that he has to remove a cat from his lap and move* You didn't even check.. Sheepy: Sheepy: He's guilty until proven innocent. Arsé-kun: Randy: Ugghhhh. You hurt me. *he takes Shaggy off his lap and goes upstairs.* Arsé-kun: *Randy comes back a few minutes later, limping from a knife in his leg. It's a very nice knife, so it must be Saint's.* Arsé-kun: Randy: I hate you. Look what you've made me deal with. Sheepy: Sheepy: Oh, maybe he was innocent. Arsé-kun: Randy: He's still there. He just laughed at me. Sheepy: Sheepy: You got a nice knife out of it. Arsé-kun: Randy: I get to keep it. Arsé-kun: Arséne: .... *on the phone* It wasn't him. Had to be the other one. Yes. Yeah, I told you about... Yes, exactly, so good l-- Um? No?? Certainly not? Sheepy: Sheepy: What is it? Arsé-kun: Arséne: *he mutes the phone again* Can I ask if we know his father's whereabouts? Sheepy: Sheepy: He's not on the couch so I'm guessing he's gone. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Thank you, captain obvious. Sheepy: Sheepy: I wouldn't know. Arsé-kun: Randy: Do I have to do everything in this house? Sheepy: Sheepy: Yes. Arsé-kun: Randy: Ugggghhhhhhhhh. Sheepy: Sheepy: I'll check next time. Arsé-kun: Randy: Fiiiine. Arsé-kun: *Randy drags himself out* Arsé-kun: *Randy comes back a few MORE minutes later. The knife is gone, but now there's a big cut across his face. He looks irritated* Sheepy: Sheepy: That's a new look for you. Sheepy: Sheepy: It's not a good look. Arsé-kun: Randy: Shush the hell your face. The answer is yes. The Sultan has him for now and promised his return. Don't ever ask me for anything again. Sheepy: Sheepy: Sorry. I guess my comment............... Sheepy: Sheepy:...cut deep, huh? Arsé-kun: Randy: If you die, I'm not saving you, you slut. Sheepy: Sheepy: You're mean. Arsé-kun: *Arséne relays this information over. Barok makes A Face probably closely associated to the Excalibur face™* Sheepy: Aion: Yes? Yes? Sheepy: Aion: Go on. Arsé-kun: Barok: He's.... Safe, in a manner of speaking. I hope. Sheepy: Aion: Safe? Sheepy: Aion: Good....So we must wait... Arsé-kun: Barok: It wasn't malicious, I'm being told, despite the messenger getting slashed at with dental tools. Sheepy: Aion:......D...Dental tools....Oh....Ohh...Scary... Sheepy: Aion: But if it's a dentist...That rodent should be fine. Arsé-kun: Barok: I wish it was. Sheepy: Aion: He drinks mouthwash. Arsé-kun: Barok: He. What. Sheepy: Aion: So he has said....he was unaware he shouldn't swallow toothpaste... Sheepy: Aion: He says...he must keep his skeleton clean. Arsé-kun: *Barok slowly puts his head in his hands* Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God already misses his foolish remarks... Sheepy: Aion:....... Sheepy: Shuzo: I can't imagine why... He seems better in small quantities... Sheepy: Aion: He is already in the smallest possible quantities. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Isn't he burned enough from falling? Arsé-kun: Cyan: Please stop roasting Crow behind his back! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: :3c Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh, how cruel ⭐ Perhaps he should have gotten flying lessons ⭐ Arsé-kun: Barok: Not funny, try again. Sheepy: Aion: There is no other way to speak of the rodent. He certainly has positive traits, but he's incredible at shoving his negative traits in one's face... Sheepy: Aion:...To the point they instantly are used as his defining traits. Arsé-kun: Barok: I was referring to only the last statement made prior to my interruption. Sheepy: Shuzo: It wasn't a joke ⭐ Arsé-kun: Barok: *he gives Shuzo a patent-tested Death Glare* Sheepy: Shuzo: Falling is literal, yes? Why didn't he just use his wings? Arsé-kun: Barok: Wow! Why didn't any of the fallen angels think of that!! *he's still very bitter* Just undo the chains and fly away after going past the terminal velocity! Sheepy: Shuzo: Chains? Sheepy: Shuzo: I see... Arsé-kun: Barok: What, did you think they'd be thrown with full flight access? Sheepy: Shuzo: Of course. Arsé-kun: Barok: It's not a light punishment. Sheepy: Shuzo: He's pretty young though, isn't he? Arsé-kun: Barok: That didn't matter at the time. Sheepy: Shuzo: What kind of crime could he possibly have committed? Arsé-kun: Barok: We are not discussing this. Sheepy: Shuzo: My apologies. Arsé-kun: *Shuzo is sloooowly compacted by the Rom that's fallen asleep on him* Sheepy: Shuzo: I guess this is my punishment ⭐ Sheepy: Shuzo:...Although I don't mind it that much. Sheepy: Shuzo:... ... ... *a serious expression forms on his face* ... ... Sheepy: Shuzo: It's horrible! Arsé-kun: Rom: ??? *this, of course, woke him up* Shuu? Sheepy: *Shuzo is shaking all over! He's gone pale like he saw a ghost. Or something worse.* Arsé-kun: *Rom pulls Shuzo in close and warily looks towards the door.* Sheepy: Shuzo: He's here! He's here! He's going to kill us all! Kill us! Arsé-kun: Barok: ah. *he's not too thrilled either* Sheepy: Aion: There's nothing there. It's just a door. Arsé-kun: Barok: No, no. He's here. With Crow, I hope. Sheepy: Aion: Hm? Hmm... Sheepy: Aion: Do we open the door? Arsé-kun: Barok: Got no choice, do we? Sheepy: Aion: But who opens it? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Sheepy: Aion:... Sheepy: Aion: If the gosling panics at a mere door...The Dark Sun God wishes not to approach it. Arsé-kun: Barok: If his son was as bad as I experienced, and he's doing this in a human guise... .... *he's absolutely not thrilled* Maybe it's best we let him open it himself. Sheepy: Aion:....? Arsé-kun: Cyan: Someone has to do it! *and she bravely, heroically, goes to open the door* Sheepy: *Shuzo is sobbing. New look! New look! And talking quickly and incoherently.* Arsé-kun: *Rom is Trying to comfort him, but this is outside his usual range* Sheepy: Aion: Oh...Oh...Scary...Strangers... Sheepy: *it's the thought that counts, Rom!* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Are they really gonna....?? That can't be right... Sheepy: Aion: It is possible.... Arsé-kun: *Cyan opens the door! and is immediately given Crow to hold. Awkward* Sheepy: *Crow seems dazed.* Arsé-kun: *Cyan leans down and nuzzles him before thanking the inevitable Aza on the other side and shutting the door with her hip.* Sheepy: Crow: Oh...I'm lookin' into the sun...*he lifts up a hand to the ceiling light* It's so close.... Arsé-kun: *Cyan tries to juggle Crow and turning the light down* Arsé-kun: *it does not go in a good way* Sheepy: Aion: I see...A difficult task...The rodent is in the way and yet he demands change... Sheepy: Aion:........ Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Arsé-kun: *Cyan eventually places him down on the floor to turn the light down, and then loafs up next to him* Sheepy: *Crow mumbles something about night and forgetting to milk the cows. local angel is barely cognizant of anything* Sheepy: Crow:... ... ... Sheepy: Crow:... ... ... Sheepy: Crow: Holy cow, my wings are totally gone! Where did I put them?! Arsé-kun: Cyan: Myaa? You still have them! Sheepy: Crow: Eh?!?! Sheepy: Crow: My head is killing me... Arsé-kun: Cyan: See? *she picks up a feather that was already there, but listen, Crow doesn't need that information* Sheepy: Crow: And I can't feel my back at all....! Sheepy: Crow: Eh? I guess that is mine... Arsé-kun: Barok: ... *concern* Sheepy: Crow: Why'd I put this here? Arsé-kun: Cyan: That's just where the feather fell, silly. Sheepy: Crow: Eh... Sheepy: Crow: I better do somethin' about that... *he gets up, completely forgetting the feather. he takes one step and falls on his face* Arsé-kun: Barok: *he gets up and carefully scoops up Crow, easily avoiding his wings, which are bandaged up completely* Sheepy: Crow:...? Sheepy: Crow: The heck is touchin' me...? Arsé-kun: Barok: .... *he doesn't answer Crow, softly humming and opting to bring him to his own bed* Sheepy: Crow: *he relaxes a bit* Arsé-kun: *Barok helps him get ready for and get into bed. Aw. He really does care.* Sheepy: Crow: You... Sheepy: Crow: ...look like Uncle. ......Dad?...*he looks happy briefly, before grimacing* ...Must be seein' things... you're dead. Arsé-kun: Barok: .... *he looks around. He doesn't see anything, but he can SWEAR...* ... You must be. Get some rest. You've been through a lot. Sheepy: Crow:...Alright. Sheepy: Crow: Good night... Arsé-kun: Barok: Good night, Crocell. Sleep well. *he goes to turn off the light, but briefly stops to pick up a stray, pure white feather. Without further comment, he turns the light off and softly closes the door* Sheepy: *Crow falls asleep pretty quickly. Sonic speed sleeping. hedgehog fast* Arsé-kun: *The sun is shining, birds are chirping, flowers blooming. And kids like you... Should get up soon.* Sheepy: Shuzo: *he yawns. 5 more minutes...* Sheepy: Shuzo: Mm...I'm wiped. Sheepy: Aion: *snore* Sheepy: Crow: -Guysguysguys! *he busts in. his tail is wagging at a million mph. gogogo* Guys!!! Look! My wings are covered in paper machete! Sheepy: Crow: I can move 'em without pain! *flap flap flap* Ouch! They're still sore! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Wh.... You're already yelling...?? Sheepy: Crow: Isn’t it great?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence, all is normal.. *he rubs his eyes and groans.* But stop yelling, for five minutes, please, f[omitted] Sheepy: Crow: Hahahah! I gotta show everyone with pride!!! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: And with yelling. Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Yeah! I should go show Uncle too! Maybe even the old man!! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: .... So go back upstairs? Legend of Crow going blind. Sheepy: Crow: Eh!? Sheepy: Crow: He's here!? One sec! This better not be a prank! *he runs back upstairs* Arsé-kun: *It isn't. Crow finds Barok in his own room after turning the light on, seated in a chair and still sleeping on the end of the bed.* Sheepy: Crow: Oh shoot, how'd he get here? Arsé-kun: *By travelling on foot like most people. Probably.* Sheepy: Crow: Eh, I guess I should just let him sleep... Sheepy: Crow: But I really want to show him...... Sheepy: Crow: ............... Sheepy: Crow: Hey! Uncle! Look at my paper mache! Arsé-kun: *Barok sleeps through Crow yelling. He's so used to this.* Sheepy: Crow: Eh...Now what? That didn't work... Sheepy: Crow: I guess I could go try the others again... Sheepy: Crow: *he goes to bother the others again* Arsé-kun: Rom: *he drowsily eyes Crow* Please don't. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Aion: *snore* Arsé-kun: Rom: We know. Your wings are bandaged. Trust me, we know. Sheepy: Crow: Well did you know they've been almost painless?! Sheepy: Shuzo: I think you were shouting about that earlier. Arsé-kun: Rom: He was. Sheepy: Crow:....Why's nobody excited except for me, huh? Sheepy: Shuzo: You're loud and it's early. Arsé-kun: Rom: Not that we aren't... But that too. Sheepy: Crow: *headtilt* Eh... Sheepy: Crow: Loud, huh... Hmmmmm... Oh, yeah, there was something loud last night, wasn't there. Sheepy: Crow: But if nobody's excited, there's not much I can do about that. Oh well. Arsé-kun: Rom: ... We'll talk to you about it at breakfast. Sheepy: Crow: You haven't had it yet? Arsé-kun: Rom: We only got to sleep like... .... Five hours ago..? Sheepy: Crow: Why? Sheepy: Crow: Oh, yeah, did you get over that ghost thingy? Arsé-kun: Rom: .... Yes, thank you. Sheepy: Crow: Next time I won't miss, so don't get possessed again! Arsé-kun: Rom: ... Next time, make sure I'm not being run like a wind-up doll first. Sheepy: Crow: What's that supposed to mean? Sheepy: Crow: I don't play with dolls. They freak me out. Arsé-kun: Rom: ... *he sighs, and pulls himself off of Shuzo* Let's get fed. I think I can explain some of it, at least. Sheepy: Crow: Fine! Sheepy: Aion: *snore* Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh? Who's cooking? Or is it just cereal? Arsé-kun: Rom: Whatever we find. Sheepy: Crow: Milk is a great way to start the day! Sheepy: Shuzo: That sounds like you have very little food... Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh well ⭐ It isn't hard to make a nutritious breakfast ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: why do you hurt me this way Sheepy: Shuzo: You make it fun with your reactions. Sheepy: Crow: I'm gonna eat cheerios! Sheepy: Shuzo: You do that. I believe in you ⭐ Arsé-kun: *they don't have cheerios, but they do talk about the previous night. aion is praised for how he handled his part. rom approves* Sheepy: Aion:....Of course...The Black Monster would never fail his task... Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Sheepy: Crow: *he's visibly annoyed and tapping his foot to get nervous/annoyed energy out* Sheesh! Sheepy: Crow: I can't believe I let that happen...! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It was a mess of legendary proportions. First Rom, then you, and then Shuzo. I'm still surprised Aion and I got out unscathed! I mean, of course I did, b[omit] Sheepy: Crow: And then I had to go and act all embarrassing too... You guys're never gonna take me seriously ever again! I'm just gonna be the guy who tried to touch a lightbulb and was completely incoherent! Sheepy: Aion: Of course. The Dark Sun God is greater than some puny rodent. Nothing can get to him. Arsé-kun: Rom: You didn't send me over thirty messages asking for a snack at 8 in the morning. You're excused. Sheepy: Crow: Huh? The heck? Why would I? I'd get my own snack! Sheepy: Shuzo: You're so cruel, Rom ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Thank you. I do my best. Sheepy: Shuzo: I noticed. Sheepy: Crow: If I get strong again I can prove my innocence! I just gotta keep working hard! Arsé-kun: Rom: ... Still, I gotta ask. Cyan got the door fine. Was it really THAT awful to you...? Sheepy: Shuzo: I looked into the abyss and it looked back ⭐ I'd rather not think about it, okay? ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Fair enough. Sheepy: Crow: Eh...But when I DO prove my innocence... Arsé-kun: Rom: Kick their asses, dude. Sheepy: Crow:...I don't really have any reason to go back. I'm happier here. Sheepy: Crow: The only one who gets called a monster here is Wimpion and he calls himself that. Sheepy: Aion: A rodent like you has no roar. Just little teeth for gnawing. Sheepy: Crow: So you guys're much nicer than anyone I met before falling. I have no reason to go back. Arsé-kun: *And now it's awkward. Rom just pats Crow's shoulder.* Sheepy: Crow: Oh, sorry. I should'a said somethin' else...Hmm. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Behold! *he puts the tupperware down. the little bug is just kinda moving around doing it's own thing* Sheepy: Crow: What is that? Sheepy: Crow: It's a bug, isn't it? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: This was the cause of the initial problems. So don't take it out. Sheepy: Crow: It's just a ladybug, right? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: No. Sheepy: Crow:? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: This is what we pulled off of Rom. Sheepy: Crow: Really? Huh. Arsé-kun: Rom: So don't play with it. If it can do that to me, it'll surely be worse for you. Sheepy: Crow: But you're just a buff guy, right? If I can't even control myself, it's not like some bug can! Sheepy: Crow: I'm a Fallen Angel! Nothin' can control me! Except the law! Arsé-kun: Rom: This is how you got kidnapped in the first place. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: Isn't like it was on me, though. Sheepy: Crow: You're just making me want to poke at it! Arsé-kun: Rom: :v Sheepy: Crow: Give me one good reason not to poke it. Sheepy: Shuzo: I will make you regret it ⭐ Crane ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I'll let him do it. Sheepy: Crow: Oi! I've got the advantage! I'm strong! I'm fast! You look like a twig! Sheepy: Crow: Rom's got muscles but you don't seem so scary. Arsé-kun: Rom: *he says nothing.* Sheepy: *Shuzo gets up and goes to punch Crow. Unfortunately, he's cut short by pulling something in his chest and yelps, clutching his ribs. Shuzo. You had one order from Watson. Crow laughs at Shuzo* Sheepy: Crow: Ahahahaha! You're a milion light years away from defeating the great Crow! You could never penetrate my crimson passion! Sheepy: Shuzo: *he grimaces* Light years... are distance! Not time! Arsé-kun: *Yaiba grabs the bottom of Crow's chair and dumps him off. begone* Sheepy: Crow: Ouch! Sheepy: Crow: ....Owowowow! They're still sore!!! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I thought they didn't hurt. Sheepy: Crow: This is a different pain! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: [omitted] Sheepy: Crow: Hey! Rom, Yaiba is being mean! Arsé-kun: Rom: That's a shame. Sheepy: Crow: You guys’re jerks! Arsé-kun: Rom: What do you want me to do? Stop eating? Sheepy: Crow: You’re so slow...!!! Arsé-kun: Rom: You really want me to do something about it? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Arsé-kun: *Rom picks up Yaiba's coffee and chugs it. Yaiba stares* Sheepy: Shuzo: Haha... You’re going to regret that. Arsé-kun: Rom: Oh, absolutely. Sheepy: Shuzo: How careless ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Better me than him. Sheepy: Shuzo: Hm? Arsé-kun: Rom: We don't need him motormouthing at triple speed while we try to survive. Sheepy: Shuzo: I suppose so. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *he pulls out a hidden shot...bottle? of 5hour energy and uses it to take anxiety medication. slowfast, incredibly bad* Sheepy: Shuzo: ... Arsé-kun: Rom: ..... Sheepy: Crow: I don’t need coffee! I have milk. Sheepy: Shuzo: But milk is poisonous to hedgehogs. Sheepy: Shuzo: Whatever. Should we be concerned about Yaiba? Arsé-kun: Rom: Nah. It'll probably cancel out or something. Sheepy: Shuzo: Well, alright ⭐ Sheepy: Aion: What is today’s plan? Arsé-kun: Rom: Fantastic question. Sheepy: Shuzo: I'm going to get rid of my hair dye ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: That's a good idea. Baking soda is in the cabinet under the sink. Sheepy: Shuzo: Oh, how convenient ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: As for the rest of us... *he takes a small schedule book out to check* Sheepy: Aion: Ah....! The book of destiny! Sheepy: Aion: Incredible! As to be expected by a man with a full time job! Arsé-kun: Rom: It may not seem like it, but this is the peak male form! *he flips the book open* Sheepy: Crow: I base my day around cow time! Arsé-kun: Rom: Seems we're clear today. Tomorrow is band practice, followed by a troupe meeting. Sheepy: Crow: I could show my wings to everyone today. Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God feels little excitement. Sheepy: Crow: Who to start with... Sheepy: Crow: Eh, but if I try to make the muscles in 'em strong enough to fly again, people're gonna look at me weird when I actually do..... Sheepy: Crow: Hey, I could be the very first actor to fly without special effects or the stringy thingy! Heh! Man, I'm the coolest! Sheepy: Aion: No. You're just a simple rodent. Sheepy: Aion: You overestimate your greatness because your body understated the need for height. Sheepy: Crow: Oi! Shaddup, Wimpion, you NEET! At least I've got enough confidence in myself that I don'thave to pose when I talk! Arsé-kun: Rom: NEETs typically have no employment, but carry on. Sheepy: Crow: Anyway, I'm gonna show them off to everyone! ...One sec, I gotta remove the paper matche! Sheepy: Aion: Those are bandages. Not paper mache. Sheepy: *Crow tries to remove it. He partially does before giving up.* Sheepy: Crow: This is good enough! Arsé-kun: Rom: Come here. Arsé-kun: *Rom pops out a claw to tear off the bandages... Those are some STRONG bandages* Sheepy: Crow: Is it off yet? Arsé-kun: Rom: Not yet. This is like running my claws on sandpaper Sheepy: Crow: It's not paper mache after all! Sheepy: Aion: Hah. Of course the Black Monster could do it. But he will not. Arsé-kun: Rom: Of course not. This is too menial for the Black Monster to deal with. Sheepy: Crow: If my other four were here, I could...I dunno! I guess they'd be all over six instead of two. Arsé-kun: Rom: That's likely to be correct. What IS this made of, rocks? Sheepy: Crow: I don't know how it got there. It's starting to get itchy and claustrophobic. Sheepy: Crow: Is there a knot or somethin'? Arsé-kun: Rom: I'm barely making any marks. Sheepy: Crow: Really? Even you can't? Sheepy: Crow: Maybe Uncle can remove it.... Sheepy: Crow: *he grabs Rom and runs upstairs. Crow no* Arsé-kun: Barok: ... I was genuinely hoping you would forget I was here. Sheepy: Crow: Huh?! That's mean...! Arsé-kun: Barok: I half expected it. But yes, good morning. Sheepy: Crow: Look at my paper mache! It's itchy! Arsé-kun: Barok: ... You haven't taken it off yet? Sheepy: Crow: We can't. Arsé-kun: Barok: I see. Sheepy: Crow: It's too hard. Arsé-kun: Barok: Let me see the back. Sheepy: Crow: *he turns to show Barok his wings* Arsé-kun: *crow you might be in danger* Arsé-kun: *click* Sheepy: Crow:? Sheepy: Crow: What's that sound? Arsé-kun: *Barok, with absolutely no warning otherwise, smoothly cuts the "bandages" off of Crow's wings without harming a single feather.* Sheepy: Crow:?! Eh?! Arsé-kun: Barok: Now lets see here. Sheepy: Crow: How is it? Arsé-kun: *Barok starts checking over his wings, rustling feathers here and there* Arsé-kun: Barok: ... A marked improvement. Sheepy: Crow: Really?! I wonder what happened! Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Do you actually want that answer? Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Sure! Arsé-kun: *rom is dead on the floor but not really, dont mind him, he's getting out of dodge* Arsé-kun: *Barok carefully explains what he knows about it. Crow doesn't need the more nightmarish parts.* Sheepy: Crow: So that guy fixed them? I guess I can forgive him for what he did to me, but Rom... Arsé-kun: Barok: That's up for him to decide. Sheepy: Crow: Right, I guess so. Sheepy: Crow: But I'm not happy about what he did to Rom. Arsé-kun: Rom: Neither am I!! *nevermind, he came back. herd u were talkin shit* It was mostly harmless, sure, but it sucked! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Arsé-kun: Rom: Couldn't the guy do like the rest of us? Make phone calls, schedule, actually tell others what you're doing??? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah!!! Arsé-kun: Rom: And not whatever THAT was! Sheepy: Crow: What a jerk! Arsé-kun: Rom: And inconsiderate! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah!! Arsé-kun: Rom: That happens again and we punch him out! Sheepy: Crow: I'll show him my crimson fist!!! Arsé-kun: *barok's just quietly shaking his head. He Knows Better™* Sheepy: Crow: You can join us! Arsé-kun: Barok: As much as I'd like to, I wouldn't like those odds of survival. Sheepy: Crow: Let's send his cattle soul to EDEN!!! Yeah!!! Arsé-kun: Barok: *what does that even mEAN* Sheepy: *Crow looks fired up...* Arsé-kun: *And so does Rom. This absolutely cannot end well* Sheepy: Crow: We don't know where he is but we can find him! Arsé-kun: Rom: And kick his ass! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah!!! Arsé-kun: *barok sighs* Sheepy: Shuu: Please think before you act, Rom ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I have thought about it, and I'd like to prevent a repeat. Sheepy: Crow: Who's this anyway? Sheepy: Crow: Ah! Must be one of my cattle! Sheepy: Shuu:... Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Arsé-kun: Rom: I told you he looks better when he doesn't look like an easter sunday pastel punk. Sheepy: Crow: Uh? Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: Nah, that's not him. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba and Aion get front row seats for Crow being thrown down the stairs for his stupidity* Sheepy rolled a die with 20 sides. The die showed: 20 Sheepy: *Thanks to actually getting a good roll on the d20 for once and his improved wings, Crow sticks the landing really well!* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Well! That was moderately impressive for you. Perhaps it was even a first that I've ever witness[omitted] Arsé-kun: Rom: *from the top of the stairs* Don't give me ideas! I have the high ground! Sheepy: Aion: This rodent brags about little achievements because they're small like his stature. Perfect size for him to be able to comprehend. Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Arsé-kun: Barok: *he skips the stairs entirely, having casually jumped down. Casually.* Let him have this one. Sheepy: Crow: Wow! Sheepy: Crow: You look so casual when you do that...! That's really cool! I gotta try it once my wings get stronger!! Arsé-kun: Barok: ... I normally wouldn't recommend it. Your ankles are best in one piece. Sheepy: Crow: Ankles? Sheepy: Crow: Actually, it'd hurt the knees! ...Although, I've rolled an ankle before and it hurts... Arsé-kun: Barok: *he wasn't expecting a reply* Sheepy: Crow:...And one time I hit my knee on a table... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I've gotten headphone wires on a door handle and ripped off my head, and al[omit] Sheepy: Crow: Sounds painful...! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It was! Sheepy: Aion: Hah. The Dark Sun God experiences no pain. He never makes such foolish fumbles. Sheepy: Crow:.... Arsé-kun: Rom: The well begs to differ. Sheepy: Aion: Hah. Sheepy: Aion: You fail to comprehend the thought processes behind his actions. *pose* I gazed upon it and contemplated its innards. So, the Black Monster had to delve into the abyss. Sheepy: Crow:.... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ..... Sheepy: Crow: But weren't you crying? Sheepy: Aion: *his hand tightens* Th-this foolish rodent...Cannot tell the difference between rain and tears. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: "What is tact" for 300, mr host Sheepy: Crow: Tact? Sheepy: Crow: It's a game! Tic Tact Toe! You, uhh... Sheepy: Crow:..... Sheepy: Crow: *shrug* Arsé-kun: Barok: .... Why are you children like this? Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Sheepy: Crow: I don't know what the game is, okay? I'm guessing it's a three player fighting game where the main three characters in the roster are Tic, Tact, and Toe! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Not even close, but I'll admit liking the sound of this. Sheepy: Aion: Hah. Of course the rodent knows not what it is. Sheepy: Aion: He knows nothing of games to play with friends. That is how rodents are. Sheepy: Crow: Hey!! That's not true! Arsé-kun: Rom: You're both bad at connect four, understandably because neither of you can count that high. Sheepy: Shuu: Oh, how cruel ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: What?! Sheepy: Crow: I can count higher than 4!!! Sheepy: Aion: No. Rodents cannot count. Arsé-kun: Barok: Most animals do not have enough brain matter to understand numbers. You're lucky you can count at all. Sheepy: Crow:? Sheepy: Aion: Hah. The Dark Sun God can count with ease. Sheepy: Crow: But you can count! Why couldn't I? Arsé-kun: Barok: That is not what I said. Sheepy: Crow: I'm not lucky. Even cattle can count! Arsé-kun: Barok: More than them, though. Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Sheepy: Crow: I paid a bill a few months ago. That requires counting skills. Sheepy: Shuu: No it doesn't. Sheepy: Aion: It's simple. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I mean, it kind of does, h[omitted] Sheepy: Crow: Have you ever paid a bill, Wimpion? I bet not! Sheepy: Aion:.... Sheepy: Aion: *pose*..... Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God needs not to pay bills. Arsé-kun: Rom: Not when autopay exists. Sheepy: Aion: Hah. Sheepy: Aion: Hahah. Sheepy: Aion: You don't need to pay bills... Sheepy: Aion: When you have no money... Sheepy: Aion: And make everyone give sacrifices to you...! Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Sheepy: Crow: You're such a sponge! Arsé-kun: *Yaiba has a breakfast egg. This would be fine if it was hardboiled. Or cooked at all.* Sheepy: Shuu:.... Sheepy: Shuu: ........... Sheepy: Shuu: Ah ⭐ There goes any appetite I had ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Don't act like it's weird!! Sheepy: Shuu: Raw eggs carry disease. Sheepy: Crow: I carry disease, too! Sheepy: Shuu: That's nice. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It's better than anything Crow's got. Sheepy: Crow: Salmonella, according to Wimpion. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Don't you get that from salmons? Sheepy: Shuu: No, you get it from raw eggs. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: then why is it named like that?? Sheepy: Shuu: I don't know. Sheepy: Shuu: It's rare in raw eggs but reptiles along with hedgehogs carry it too ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: *throwing a coat onto Crow* Gross. He should put that down. Sheepy: Crow: Where're we going? Arsé-kun: Rom: Didn't you say you wanted to beat up a man? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Arsé-kun: Rom: Then put your damn coat on. Sheepy: *Crow puts it on* Sheepy: Crow: I'm gonna punch him! Arsé-kun: Rom: We both will! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah!!! Arsé-kun: Rom: Yeah!!! (fire) (fire) (fire) Sheepy: Crow: I'm all fired up!!! This is my crimson passion!!!!! *he runs out* Arsé-kun: Rom: ... We're not gonna find the guy, but any excuse for exercise is good enough. Sheepy: Shuu: I would join you if my ribs were healed ⭐ I'd like some exercise ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: We'll figure something out afterwards. Arsé-kun: *but he goes to catch up to Crow. or try* Sheepy: Crow: C'mon, you're so slow!! Arsé-kun: Rom: I am not slow! Sheepy: Crow: Right now you are! Arsé-kun: Rom: I! Am! Not slow!! Sheepy: Crow: Are too! Sheepy: *Crow is too focused on making fun of Rom to pay attention to his surroundings...Like the large hound running at him - which just knocked him clean off his feet by jumping on him. ouch* Sheepy: Crow: Ugh-! Arsé-kun: Rom: Crow!! I'm coming, hold on! Sheepy: *The dog goes for Crow's throat! Crow shifts, causing the teeth to hit his shoulder instead.* Arsé-kun: *Rom charges in to knock the hound off!! he trips over Crow instead* Sheepy: Crow: Ugh...! Arsé-kun: Rom: Sorry..! Sheepy: *The dog seems unsure of itself... It's begun sniffing at Crow.* Sheepy: Crow: You sh-shouldn't eat me! I have salmonella! Arsé-kun: Rom: How is that going to help?! Sheepy: Crow: Do you have any better ideas?! Arsé-kun: Rom: Push it off?!? Sheepy: *The dog seems hesitant to continue its attack...* Sheepy: Crow:......Hey, I wonder why it stopped? Arsé-kun: Rom: Do something, you idiot! Sheepy: Crow: He kinda looks like my childhood dog...Except, y'know, with bloodier teeth because he just put them in my shoulder. Sheepy: *The dog gets off by choice.* Arsé-kun: Rom: ...?? *he gets off of Crow* Sheepy: *....It playbows!* Arsé-kun: Rom: Did we just scare it..? Sheepy: Crow: That's no reason for it to put my teeth in my shoulder...! Sheepy: Crow: Ouch, ouch...It hurts a lot... And Uncle's gonna kill me for getting injured right after I'm fixed up... Sheepy: *The dog licks Crow. It seems to recognize him!* Sheepy: Crow: Hey, hey, don't act like this makes up for you biting me, Balmung! If you wanna greet a friend you haven't seen for a while, you don't bite them! Owow... Arsé-kun: *Rom just looks back towards the house. Please tell him y'alls seeing this shit* Sheepy: *Shuu has his hands in his face. can everyone stop being embarrassments for two seconds? No* Arsé-kun: *Yaiba is just watching this and making no move to help. That's a very large dog.* Sheepy: Crow: *he gets up, clutching his shoulder. Balmung is crowding him as dogs usually do, wagging his tail. He's excited!* Sheepy: Crow: I guess we should go on and put something on this, huh... Arsé-kun: Rom: We're turning around and dealing with this. Sheepy: Crow: Just my luck...But if I hadn't moved..He would'a... Sheepy: Crow: He was going for the kill... Arsé-kun: Rom: Not letting that happen. Take your dog with you. Sheepy: Crow: Uh, alright. Sheepy: Crow: *he heads back in the direction of the house, Balmung following closely and wagging his tail* Arsé-kun: *Yaiba opens the door and backs off, warily staring at Balmung* Sheepy: Crow: *he enters. Balmung follows. He looks at Yaiba but pays him little mind.* Sheepy: Shuu: This isn't a normal dog either... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Yeah, seeing that he likes Crow. Sheepy: Aion: Most dogs would eat rodents. Sheepy: Shuu: He did attempt that, didn't he... Sheepy: Crow: You guys're jerks...Ouch...! It hurts a ton and you're making fun of me on top of it! Arsé-kun: *Barok absent from scene because he went to get medical supplies from the bathroom cabinet* Sheepy: Shuu: My apologies ⭐ You make it too easy to make fun of you ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Try not to trip over him, Crow. Sheepy: Crow: Hey, don't expect me to give you pets! You bit me! Sheepy: Aion: You must sacrifice yourself to him if he ever comes near the Dark Sun God. Sheepy: Aion: So the Dark Sun God may make his escape. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Maybe we'll throw you to it first! Hence! You're dark god meat, you've gotta be better! Sheepy: Aion: No....No....! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God is awful tasting...Poisonous...! Sheepy: Crow: We had practice tomorrow too.... Arsé-kun: *Barok returns with some supplies, spots Balmung, and just Stops.* Sheepy: *Balmung stops circling around Crow to look at Barok* Sheepy: *...before trying to jump on him!* Arsé-kun: Barok: ... .... Excuse me? What do we have Here??? *he isn't knocked over by Balmung* Sheepy: *Balmung licks Barok* Arsé-kun: *He surprisingly allows this* Sheepy: Crow: He bit my shoulder before expecting love and affection from me. He was going for my throat. Sheepy: Crow: I don't get it...And his collar is missing too. Arsé-kun: Barok: I see... Very suspicious. Sheepy: *Balmung knows not what suspicious is. He's instead showering Barok in affection. Circle circle circle* Sheepy: Crow: How did he get here? He disappeared when Dad did... Arsé-kun: Barok: One thing at a time. The wound first, this second. Sheepy: Crow:...Alright. Arsé-kun: *Barok patches it up while dealing with Dog* Sheepy: *Balmung is very happy around both of them!* Arsé-kun: Barok: But if Balmung is here, then that means... Sheepy: Crow: But Dad's dead, isn't he? Sheepy: Crow: I feel like I saw him yesterday, but...I... Arsé-kun: Barok: ... Well, I found this. *he takes out a feather that does not belong to Crow nor himself- because it's pure white. Neither of them have white feathers* So I'm going to beat him into the ground. Sheepy: Crow: ...! That's his! Arsé-kun: *Rom has firmly subscribed to "Having lost track of what is happening". Today's issue is "It's not my business"* Arsé-kun: Barok: I hope it is. Sheepy: Crow: If we have Balmung sniff it, he can track Dad down! Like in detective novels! Arsé-kun: Barok: It might work. But this time, you're going to stay behind me. Sheepy: Crow: Ah? I'm really strong... Arsé-kun: Barok: I said. To stay behind me. Sheepy: Crow: ....Fine. Sheepy: Crow: I'm not going to get in the way. Arsé-kun: Barok: You better not. We don't need a third event this week. Sheepy: Shuu: Strength means nothing if you don't use it properly ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: There's not gonna be a third event! Arsé-kun: Barok: Good. Put your coat back on. Sheepy: *Crow puts his coat back on* Arsé-kun: Barok: Balmung. *he leans down and offers Balmung the feather* Track him down. Sheepy: Balmung: *he sniffs at the feather before heading on his way to track down its owner!* Sheepy: *Crow follows Balmung* Arsé-kun: *Barok hurries after him to get in Front* Arsé-kun: Barok: *what the FUVCK did I JUST say, Crow? ? ? ?* Sheepy: Crow: You're slow! Arsé-kun: Barok: We JUST talked about this. Sheepy: Crow: But if we dwaddle, we may lose him! Sheepy: Crow: We can't afford that! If I hadn't moved at the right time, I wouldn't be around anymore potentially! I need to know why he sent Balmung for my throat like some wild animal he's hunting! Arsé-kun: Barok: That's why you're staying behind me! No repeats! Sheepy: Crow:...Fine. *he seems annoyed, but he actually does stay behind Barok this time.* Arsé-kun: *and they continue following Balmung* Sheepy: *Balmung quickens the pace* Arsé-kun: Barok: We must be close..! Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Really? Sheepy: *Balmung rushes up to a tree and stops by it, barking. boof boof* Arsé-kun: *Barok stops behind another tree. Stealth Mode* Sheepy: Balmung: *boof, boof!* Sheepy: Crow:? *he follows Barok* Arsé-kun: *a few dog treats drop from the tree. a reward.* Sheepy: Balmung: *he seems pleased by the treats!* Sheepy: Crow:....??? Sheepy: Crow: *he lowers his voice* That tree dispenses dog treats... Arsé-kun: *Barok just sighs* Sheepy: Balmung: *he's looking up expectantly* Arsé-kun: *Surely enough, someone does climb down and kneel down to pet Balmung. There he is. The bastard himself.* Sheepy: Crow:....! Sheepy: *Crow disregards the one rule Barok set and jumps on the man. He has never thought. Ever* Arsé-kun: *He never saw it com-ingggg♫* Sheepy: *Balmung doesn't help.* Arsé-kun: *Barok casually joins in and stomps down on them. Hard. there may be some pent up anger here* Arsé-kun: Barok: Klimt. You bastard. Sheepy: Crow: You jerk! First you up and disappear, and now this?! I tried really hard not to give up on you! I thought you'd come back and that the only reason why you wouldn't is if something happened to you - like you dying! *Crow, despite his anger, sounds closer to tears than anything.* Arsé-kun: Klimt: ....... *he's moderately panicked, but also pinned down and very much at their mercy* I was really hoping we wouldn't meet like this! Sheepy: Crow: You could'a just stopped at disappearing, you know! Sure, I was sad, but I was getting over it! Then you try to kill me?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: What?! I disappeared to keep you alive! *he turns his head to stare at Crow incredulously* Why on [censored]'s green earth would I do anything to you?? Sheepy: Crow: You tell me! You tell me! Balmung tried to tear my throat out like I was some animal to be hunted! He wouldn't do that without being told to! I know he wouldn't! Arsé-kun: Klimt: I am telling you! I am- OW! *Barok stomped on him again* It wasn't supposed to be you! Why were you here? Sheepy: Crow: What do you mean?! I LIVE around here! Why WOULDN'T I be here?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: >:I ?? ? Sheepy: Crow: All I did was leave my house with my friend and you're blaming me for being somewhere I shouldn't?! Sheepy: Crow: Why was he even going after anyone, huh? Maybe deer, I can understand deer! But why PEOPLE? It wasn't supposed to be me?! So it'd be okay if you killed someone who wasn't me? Arsé-kun: Klimt: It's a long story, okay?! I have to pay back a favor! You shouldn't have even survived! Sheepy: Crow: What? Sheepy: Crow: I only did because I moved before Balmung stuck his teeth in my throat! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Not that! Before that! Sheepy: Crow: ...? Sheepy: Crow: What're you even talking about? Arsé-kun: Klimt: .... I'll tell Azathoth he did a wonderful job on your wings though. I didn't even ask for that. Sheepy: Crow: I don't understand what you're going on about. Arsé-kun: Klimt: When you got kicked out, Crocell! Sheepy: Crow: ...?! Arsé-kun: *Barok slowly removes his foot from Klimt once he's sure a fight isn't gonna break out* Sheepy: Crow: I wasn't ... supposed to live? ... Sheepy: Crow: But...I... didn't do anything wrong. Arsé-kun: Klimt: I know! Don't you think I'm angry about that?! Sheepy: Crow: I...But.. Sheepy: Crow: I thought... ...I don't get it! Why would they hate me that much...?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Whoever didn't fit in got treated like garbage! Sure, maybe it's better NOW, but it doesn't make up for anything they've done! Sheepy: Crow: But how does you trying to kill someone have anything to do with me not dying...? Arsé-kun: Klimt: Because if I don't do what I'm told, you'll be assassinated! Sheepy: Crow:... Sheepy: Crow: *he looks near tears...* Arsé-kun: *the only one here who ISN'T is Barok, who looks about the same as he does in court- Ice Cold Alright alright alright al* Sheepy: Crow:....But I didn't do anything wrong. Arsé-kun: Klimt: It's leverage against me. I don't even know if she'll act on it, but I don't want that! Sheepy: Crow:...She? Arsé-kun: Germain: ... I was going to ask if you needed help. *oh no. its you* But you seem to have encountered a family member. Good luck. Sheepy: Crow: You're... Sheepy: Crow: Saint....Saint... Sheepy: Crow:.... Arsé-kun: Germain: *he waits to let Crow finish* Sheepy: Crow: Martha? Arsé-kun: Germain: :) I've been called worse. *he ignores Barok glaring daggers towards him* Let me fix that shoulder for you. That was not meant to happen. Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Arsé-kun: Germain: A certain squid decided to change the information around. On purpose. Arsé-kun: *Klimt looks alarmed* Sheepy: Crow: Oh! Squid is tasty! Arsé-kun: Barok: .... I'd wring his neck, but he's already devastated me once. Arsé-kun: Germain: I saw! Terrible idea. Don't do that. Sheepy: Crow: Uh? Sheepy: Crow: Squids don't even have brains, do they? Sheepy: Crow: They're like edible jellyfish. Arsé-kun: Germain: No, they do. It's shaped like a doughnut. Sheepy: Crow: Really? Sheepy: Crow: I'm hungry... Sheepy: Crow: I wonder if they get tired of losing a fraction of their thoughts through the hole... Arsé-kun: *Germain stops sidetracking and puts his hand on Crow's shoulder. Healed* Sheepy: Crow: It feels better already! Sheepy: Crow: Thanks! Sheepy: Crow: I have practice tomorrow so I needed that arm! Arsé-kun: Germain: Klimt, we need to speak sooner rather than later, but take the week off anyway. I may not be active, but I'll get your section covered. Arsé-kun: Klimt: :O Arsé-kun: Klimt: :OOOOOOO Arsé-kun: *Like father, like son. Gremlins, the both of them.* Arsé-kun: *Germain tips his hat and proceeds to just... Leave. And start talking to someone else, despite being perfectly audible* Arsé-kun: Germain: ... yeah, it went through-- We'll recruit for the rebellion later on-- What? You donut-brained octodick, don't do that again-- *real classy and informational stuff. and very intentional* Sheepy: Crow: ?????? Sheepy: Crow: I don’t get it... rebellion? Week off? ... Eh, week off? Where’re you gonna go? Sheepy: *Balmung is just busy doing dog things. Sniffing at things. Looking at things. Usual dog things* Sheepy: Crow: You don't know where to go now? Arsé-kun: Klimt: I... Have no idea what he was talking about. Or that. Sheepy: Crow: I gotta ask the old man, but maybe you can stay with me temporarily! Arsé-kun: *Barok's staring over his shoulder. Someone (Cyan) is clearly visible despite her best efforts. Her sacrifice is not in vain* Sheepy: Crow:...Eh? Cyan? Sheepy: Crow: Oh shoot, you followed us? Arsé-kun: Cyan: You've been gone for so long! It wasn't hard to find you, with you yelling so much... Sheepy: Crow: H-how much did you hear? Arsé-kun: Cyan: Hmmmm... Is "not much" a good answer? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Sheepy: Crow: D'ya know where the old man is? I gotta ask him something. Sheepy: Crow: It's super cold out.... So if you don't know, I'll just go inside. Arsé-kun: Cyan: *she looks around* Y'know, I'm not sure! Lets get in before we catch cold! Sheepy: Crow: *he finally gets off of Klimt* Let's go find the old man, Dad! He looks even older than you! Arsé-kun: Klimt: I don't think that's all that difficult! Arsé-kun: Barok: *very quietly* you don't think, either Sheepy: Crow: You've got white streaks so you're close! Arsé-kun: Klimt: *he runs his hand through his hair* You don't need to tell me! Sheepy: Crow: The old man is fully white! Sheepy: Crow: C'mon, let's gooo!! It's so cold! Arsé-kun: Cyan: Yes, please! Brrrr-brrrr-mrrrr! Freezing! Sheepy: *Crow drags Klimt with him while rambling about all the stuff he's going to show Klimt* Arsé-kun: *Klimt just lets this happen. He's still working everything out, slowly.* Sheepy: Crow: I'll show you my super cool Red Tomahawk too! *he drags Klimt inside* Arsé-kun: Klimt: I'm not getting much of a choice, am I?? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Sheepy: Crow: Rooooom! Do you know where the old man is? Arsé-kun: Rom: *he looks up from giving Shuu attention, but not TOO much attention, but* No idea! Sheepy: Crow: Darn. Sheepy: Shuu: *he looks over at Crow and Klimt* He feels like Crane. Sheepy: Crow: It's CROW!! Sheepy: Crow: With a C!!!! Arsé-kun: Rom: With a sea? A whole ocean? Sheepy: Crow: Noooo!!!!!! Arsé-kun: Rom: :) Sheepy: Crow: It's a letter! The third one! After B! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Th-there's a bee?! Sheepy: Crow: No! No! Sheepy: Aion: ........... *groan*....... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: And you've gotta stop falling into the snow when you do that! It only makes it worse! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God...feels no warmth... Sheepy: Aion: Just heaven's embrace...Oh...Oh.... Sheepy: Aion:......... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *he's so done* That's my arm. Sheepy: Aion:........Warm....Cozy...*lean* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: You'd be warmer off the floor. Sheepy: Aion:....... Sheepy: Aion: *he gets up* ........ Sheepy: Aion: *...before noticing Klimt and hiding behind Yaiba.* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: T^T Sheepy: Aion: Ah...Ah...An intruder in the Dark Sun God's temple... Sheepy: Crow: He's not an intruder! He's my dad! Arsé-kun: *Rom almost spits* Sheepy: Crow: What? Arsé-kun: Rom: I envy you being able to just say words! Sheepy: Shuu: I have to say, you two barely look alike... Sheepy: Crow: Eh? What did I say wrong? Sheepy: Aion: Oh...So frightening.... Arsé-kun: *Barok makes eye contact with Aion, and gives his older brother and senior idiot bunny ears, all with a completely straight face* Sheepy: Aion:.....? Sheepy: Aion:.....Rabbit.... Arsé-kun: *Klimt is looking everyone over before deciding yes, this is good company before greeting everyone, patting Crow's head, and then whipping around to Totally Own Barok.* Arsé-kun: *behold, the legendary older brother noogie. never before seen by anybody in this room bc yall are boring* Arsé-kun: *Barok expires. Or pretends to. Hard to tell.* Arsé-kun: Klimt: What's all the weird looks for? I don't bite! That's Balmung's job!! Sheepy: Shuu: Haha ⭐ Most people here are shy ⭐ Sheepy: Aion: Bite.... *pose* Ah... That is what rodents do... Sheepy: Crow: I've never bit anyone, Wimpion! Don't spread any wrong ideas! Sheepy: Aion: Doubtful. That is what rodents do. Arsé-kun: Klimt: Hold up, hedgies aren't rodents! Sheepy: Aion:...What? Arsé-kun: Klimt: ... Or was that the point? Sheepy: Aion:..... Sheepy: Aion: Any miniscule squeaking thing is a rodent. Sheepy: Aion: He talks like a rodent. Eats like a rodent. Runs around like a rodent. Is the size of a rodent. Arsé-kun: *Klimt actually considers this. Aion does have a point* Arsé-kun: Barok: This is where Crow gets it from. Thank him for his services. *he's rolling his eyes* Sheepy: Shuu: What a crime ⭐ Arsé-kun: Klimt: I'll give you the middle two and we'll call it good. Sheepy: Shuu: He's like your friend's little brother who you hope grows up soon so he's less loud and inconsiderate ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: and then doesn't. Sheepy: Shuu: Yeah. Sheepy: Aion: *pose* The rodent has proved...again and again, he is a rodent. Sheepy: Crow: At least I don't hide and cry at the sound of thunder like you do, you scaredy-cat! Sheepy: Aion: Hah. The Black Monster is no cat. He is a proud lion. Sheepy: Shuu: Lions do nothing for a pride except eat food and fight potential predators. However, they're perfectly willing to slaughter their own children if it suits them ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: Otherwise, they just laze about and sleep all day ⭐ Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Lies and slander against the Dark Sun God will cause the light to be blotted out. Sheepy: Shuu: I read it in a National Geographic. Sheepy: Aion: What a cursed thing...Ah...I must fight this Mr. National Geographic... Sheepy: Shuu:...Hm, but there's one thing I'm wondering. Sheepy: Shuu: Crow's a hedgehog. His dad isn't. Sheepy: Shuu:..... Arsé-kun: Klimt: Oh, he got everything from his mom. Sheepy: Shuu:....Eh. I've seen weirder. Sheepy: Crow: Right! I haven't told you their names! Sheepy: Aion: You mess up your own name. Sheepy: Crow: I do not! Sheepy: Aion: You're fine when you sing it, but the second someone else gets it wrong you butcher it further. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba is waiting to Speak. He is planning his words. Unfortunately.* Sheepy: Crow: The tall jerk is Wimpion, the guy with glasses is Yaiba, the manly guy is Rom... Sheepy: Crow: Eh... Sheepy: Crow:.... Arsé-kun: Rom: It's still Shuu, even without the dye. Sheepy: Aion: Ah...The Easter gosling was a black swan all along... Arsé-kun: Rom: You too?! Sheepy: Aion: He looks nothing alike... Sheepy: Aion: Oh....There is an air of mystery about him... Sheepy: Shuu: Oh, I wouldn't say that. Sheepy: Crow: Yeah, that guy's Shuu. Which is short for Shuzone. Sheepy: Shuu: But it's not. Arsé-kun: Rom: Shuzone, auto parts and repair Sheepy: Shuu: No.... Sheepy: Shuu: I do have my experience with cars though ⭐ Racecars. Sheepy: Shuu: For work. Sheepy: Shuu: It's taking your life into your hands for a meaningless trophy ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: But since you now know butchered versions of two of our names and two actual versions of our names, I suppose we should find out yours ⭐ It's social courtesy ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: I'm expecting some fascinating name from someone who names their child Crane ⭐ Arsé-kun: Klimt: ... Eh? Sheepy: Shuu: Hm? Sheepy: Shuu: Well, he's a hedgehog, isn't he? Not a crane. Sheepy: Shuu: It's like naming your dog "Cat". Sheepy: Crow: My name's CROW!!! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Oh, you've shortened it? Would you rather it over Crocell? Sheepy: Crow: E-eh?! Sheepy: Shuu:.... Arsé-kun: Rom: Oh, is that it? I was expecting something like... Crocycle. Crowchella. Sheepy: Aion: What a nerdy name... Sheepy: Shuu: Hehe ⭐ I was expecting Crownathan. ... Just kidding ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: *pout* Arsé-kun: Barok: ... This is never going to end. *he pinches the bridge of his nose and just sighs* His name is Klimt and I am not sure how he is the elder here. Sheepy: Shuu: Klimt... Sheepy: Shuu: Ah...if his last name were Stone, I could say I met a modern stone age family. Arsé-kun: *Rom snorts* Arsé-kun: Klimt: ... Well, that's a new one. Sheepy: Crow: I don't get it! Sheepy: Crow: But if it's an insult, I'll fight you! Sheepy: Shuu: I'm too fragile ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: I'm cozy right now too ⭐ I don't want to move. Sheepy: Crow: I'll fight you later! Don't try to run away! I'm super duper strong! Sheepy: Shuu: No thanks ⭐ Arsé-kun: *Yaiba's ominously doing the glasses-shining thing. Can't see shit because of it but you don't need to see to breathe* Arsé-kun: Rom: ... Arsé-kun: Rom: Yai-better fuckin not. Sheepy: Shuu: Oh no ⭐ Arsé-kun: *Yaiba starts Speaking. Very fast. Oh No. It Begins* Sheepy: Aion: *pose* Sheepy: Aion: Ah....Yaiba is very knowledgeable...amazing...! Arsé-kun: *Klimt tries to understand but gives up somewhere between Evang... what? and Beats. whatever those mean* Sheepy: Crow: *annoyed tail swishing* Sheepy: Crow: I don't get it...!! Sheepy: Shuu: *his tail is wagging* How exciting ⭐ How talented ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: How awful. At least he's excited. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba doesn't shut the FUCK up until he's literally unable to say another word and falling onto his butt from lack of balance. BREATHE MOTHERFUCKER* Sheepy: Crow: Triangle? Sheepy: Crow:.... Arsé-kun: Klimt: An indecipherable pyramid isn't too far off from at least one superior. Sheepy: Crow: I haven't seen anything like that. Arsé-kun: Klimt: Good. Me neither. Arsé-kun: Barok: What I gleaned out of that entire thing was that he's watched far too much anime. Sheepy: Crow: People talk about angels having true forms that're rings with a bajillion eyes. Sheepy: Crow: But I'm no ring! I'm a hedgehog. Arsé-kun: Barok: You're not an ophanim. Thankfully. No one wants to see that. Sheepy: Crow: But sometimes I use it to sneak into the fridge at night without waking anyone to get a snack. Sheepy: Aion:...Th-The Dark Sun God does no such thing. Arsé-kun: Rom: Is that why we mysteriously don't have any shredded cheese, Crow? Sheepy: Crow:?! Sheepy: Crow: That question isn't fair! Angels can't lie! Arsé-kun: Rom: You're the only one in the room who exclusively goes for dairy at 3 am. Sheepy: Shuu: Why shredded cheese...? Sheepy: Crow: Y-yeah, but I was hungry! Sheepy: Shuu: Why shredded cheese...? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It's good at 4 am? I - I guess? Sheepy: Shuu:...It's a secret ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: the entire box of fruit gummies I bought two days ago. Where did those go, hmmm? Sheepy: Shuu: I never could have sugar in my diet at work ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: So you ate the entire box. Sheepy: Shuu: Mostly vegetables ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: *flat stare* Sheepy: Crow: At dinner you looked like you wanted to cry upon seeing the veggies on your plate... Sheepy: Shuu:...I won't do it again ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: It's artificial and nice but my body is hating me for it. Arsé-kun: Rom: Then you better not do that to the gummy bears I JUST bought. Sheepy: Shuu: I won't. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba looks like he is considering this to be a personal challenge* Sheepy: Shuu: I have to keep a good healthy diet just in case I change my mind about leaving the business ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: I usually work out every day and eat right. Sheepy: Shuu: I have to if I'm going to stay an idol ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: And not like a certain someone here. A certain non-rodent. Sheepy: Crow: Huuh? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: You've eaten three times between lunch and dinner. How? How? Sheepy: Crow: 'Cause I'm hungry! Sheepy: Aion: And yet...we know you're not growing taller anymore. Sheepy: Crow: I'll grow tall and embarrass you! Sheepy: Aion: He eats like a rodent... Sheepy: Crow: I'm not a rodent! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: The cycle of stupidity has been completed. We have reached the new beginnings o[omit] Sheepy: Shuu:...This guy's compared to me on the occasion despite putting no effort into his appearance, hm... Sheepy: Aion: How talented you are, Yaiba...Bringing us to our beginnings... Arsé-kun: Barok: *sarcastic* In the beginning, God made life- Sheepy: Crow: No, I heard this enough! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Then he made the word "fuck" and eeeeverything went downhill real quick! Sheepy: Crow: Eh?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: I mean, it's true? Arsé-kun: Klimt: In some kinda way? Sheepy: Crow: You said...a forbidden word...! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Absolutely no where on angel rules does it say I can't say "fuck" when describing a scene. Sheepy: Crow: Eeeeh?! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: But he said it again... Sheepy: Crow: Eh?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Listen, swear words are not sins unless used in specific ways! Sheepy: Crow: But...! Arsé-kun: Klimt: We're in a closed private space. It is not a sin. Arsé-kun: Klimt: No one is speaking of the action or doing the action of. Well. You know. Sheepy: Crow: 'm not gonna risk it! I'm a good angel! I didn't do anything wrong so maybe I'll unfall! Sheepy: Crow: Then I can get my other four wings and my power back! Arsé-kun: *no one tell him it doesnt work that way* Sheepy: Crow: So I gotta keep working at it! Arsé-kun: Klimt: You'll get somewhere one day! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! I’m all fired up!!!! Sheepy: Crow: I’m gonna be the goodest angel! Through my crimson passion! YEAH!!! *his tail is wagging at a million mph. wag wag wag wag* Sheepy: Aion: Rodents will stay rodents. Sheepy: Crow: I’M NOT A RODENT!!! Arsé-kun: *Cyan s verrrrry slowly coming into scene with dumbass cat eyes focused on Crow's tail. aaaaaand SMACK* Sheepy: Crow:?! Sheepy: Crow: Eh?! Sheepy: Aion: Your tail flails like a squirrel, fearfully dashing from side to side in a dazed attempt to flee an oncoming car. Arsé-kun: *Cyan tries to catch it. she does not* Sheepy: Crow: I-it's not a cat toy! Arsé-kun: Cyan: Anything's a cat toy to a cat! :3c Sheepy: Shuu: If you attached bells to it it'd work really well as a cat toy. Sheepy: Crow: Eh...I guess so, huh... Sheepy: Crow: I'm no cat...I don't know what's considered a cat toy and what isn't... Arsé-kun: Cyan: If it exists! Sheepy: Crow: Anything that exists?! Sheepy: Crow: I saw a video once of a cat batting at a peacock...Even peacocks are toys... They're so big though. Sheepy: Shuu: You don't worry about me ⭐ I don't have interest in such things. Sheepy: Shuu: But you look more like a cat than a hedgehog. Sheepy: Shuu: Hedgehogs don't actually have tails, do they? Arsé-kun: Barok: No. Not like that. *smirk* Sheepy: Shuu: I'm guessing you know why he does? Arsé-kun: Barok: It's certainly possible, but it isn't my place to answer. Sheepy: Shuu: I understand. Sheepy: Shuu: My species... is a secret ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: So I can relate. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: Naw, those hedgehogs at the pet store haven't grown their tails yet. Sheepy: Crow: All hedgehogs have tails like mine. Sheepy: Crow: Even the goofy looking ones at the pet store. Sheepy: Crow: They're so little, too. What do they eat? Grass? Like a cow? Arsé-kun: Barok: ... *he just sighs* Sheepy: Crow: What? Sheepy: Crow: I tried talking to 'em but they just kept running on their hamster wheel and running around. Sheepy: Aion: Of course. They are incapable of speech. Sheepy: Crow:? Uncle, is that true? Arsé-kun: Barok: They don't know english. Sheepy: Crow: Amazing! I'm super talented at talking then! Sheepy: Crow: Even as a Myumon I can speak English really well! And I can talk better than those hedgehogs in the pet store in general!! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: But can you speak pet store hedgehog? That's what matters here. Hence, you're failing your own language. Sheepy: Crow: Eh?! How do I learn pet store hedgehog?! Sheepy: Aion: Try Duolingo. Sheepy: Crow: I don't know what that is! Arsé-kun: *Yaiba snorts* Sheepy: Crow: Yaiba, what is that? Sheepy: Crow: Is he making fun of me? Sheepy: Crow: I'm gonna fight him! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: A cursed app by a cursed creature, rumored to fly through the night and threaten you when you miss a language lesson. Sometimes it has a gun. Sheepy: Crow: E-eh?! Sheepy: Crow: S...Shadow....has an app... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: N-no! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I said fly! It's the duolingo owl! Cursed bird of the night! Sheepy: Crow: Huh? Sheepy: Crow:.... Sheepy: Crow:..... Sheepy: Crow: Batman? Sheepy: Crow: I don't get it! Sheepy: Shuu: I thought that angels inherently knew any language ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow:.... Sheepy: Crow: I dunno, I only know, like...two angels other than me. Arsé-kun: Klimt: Eh... Doesn't mean we can remember em all at once. Don't get me started on the difference between the spanish variations. Sheepy: Shuu: That's understandable. Sheepy: Shuu: But do you know petstore hedgehog? Arsé-kun: Klimt: .... That'd be base hedgehog? Not fun on the vocal cords, but doable. Sheepy: Crow:?! There's a hedgehog language?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: :v Sheepy: Crow: The heck?! Is that what Mom spoke?! Is that why you knew that??? Sheepy: Shuu: I imagine it sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Arsé-kun: Klimt: It's not Chipmunk, and those are a stereotype! Sheepy: Shuu: Chipmunks have a language, too? Sheepy: Shuu: Do you speak with animals in your free time? Sheepy: Shuu: Oh dear. Maybe you've even spoken to my family. That's embarrassing ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu:...Although they aren't exactly animals even in the Myumon sense, I suppose ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: But I also have to wonder. Sheepy: Shuu: Are there Myumons in Heaven? Arsé-kun: Klimt: Welllll. Getting with a mortal is still considered a sin, sooooo. Sheepy: Shuu: Huh. Sheepy: Shuu: I knew he wasn't a Nephilim because they're known for being tall ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Arsé-kun: Barok: That's harsh. Sheepy: Crow: I'm a hedgehog! Sheepy: Crow: I'm no...whatever that is! Sounds like some kinda lizard! Sheepy: Aion: It's when you hire a family member. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: Dad doesn't have a business. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I thought it was a type of lilim. Sheepy: Crow:?! Sheepy: Crow: Really? Sheepy: Crow: But I've got no movie about me! Sheepy: Shuu: Do you want to take a shot at it or should I explain it myself? My dream prince ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I think I just got whiplash from Crow making that mistake, so you do it. Sheepy: Shuu: A nephilim is a child born from an angel and a human coming together in union. Although some believe it to mean "fallen angel" instead ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: Yeah, I'm a fallen angel!! Sheepy: Crow: But I didn't do anything wrong! Sheepy: Crow: Heh! They must'a been jealous of how cool I am. Sheepy: Shuu: That's the kind of optimistic denial you need ⭐ I'm no stranger to using optimism to ignore the facts, haha~ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: *very quietly* and you're no stranger to love, Sheepy: Shuu: I'm very lucky in that respect ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: But if you keep lying to yourself about everything, you'll start seeing a different face in your mirror. How scary ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: Like a gh-ghost?! The heck, you're gonna send a ghost after me?! Sheepy: Crow: I knew you looked like a ghost wizard! Sheepy: Aion: You dare invade this god's sanctuary with your accursed spirits, black swan? Ah, your soul will be rotted away. Arsé-kun: *Rom just sighs* Sheepy: Aion: Hah...First that whisperer's prying eyes, gazing deep into the Black Monster's soul...Now, this black swan dares spread its wings against the Dark Sun God's sanctuary...Darkness will reign down upon all who oppose the Black Monster, clawing within them a scream of fear at the punishment they have wrought against themselves! Sheepy: Crow: Yeah, Wimpion, you tell 'em! I don't get a lick of what you're saying but it sounds good! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It's a threat. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? What's Wimpion gonna do, cry on 'em? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Maybe his tears are acid, you don't know! Sheepy: Crow: He won't lift a hand for manual labor. He's not gonna lift a hand to slap someone. Sheepy: Aion: Hah. Sheepy: Aion: Of course! Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God needs not raise his hand against a puny rodent like you! Sheepy: Aion: In the blink of an eye your life will extinguish, leaving naught but unfulfilled hopes and dreams! Sheepy: Aion: A rodent like you thinks in seconds, a god thinks in years, millenia! You dare utter that this god should raise his hand upon you? What nonsense! Sheepy: Crow: Those are some big, fancy excuses from someone who's gotta beg for spiders to be killed for him! Sheepy: Aion: Hah.... Sheepy: Aion:..... Sheepy: Aion: Hah...You dare speak against the Black Monster... *pose*... Sheepy: Aion: And yet! You don't even fulfill your quest! What a rodent thing to do! Sheepy: Crow: I don't know where the old man is!! You think I'm gonna run all around shouting for him? Arsé-kun: Rom: Yes. Sheepy: Crow:.... Sheepy: Crow:....Old maaan!! Sheepy: Shuu: How predictable... Arsé-kun: Rom: He's not running. Sheepy: Crow: I can't run indoors! Sheepy: Crow: Unless....!!! Sheepy: Crow: I outspeed anyone who tries to stop me! Sheepy: Crow: Old maaaan! Where are you?? Sheepy: *Crow runs into another room, still shouting. amazing* Sheepy: Crow: Old maaaaaan...!! Arsé-kun: *Klimt starts to say "Yes??" but Barok smacks him first. Sibling culture.* Arsé-kun: Shadow: *on a megaphone, most likely on the complete other side of the building* Crow, what the 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 could you possibly want now?? Sheepy: Crow: Do you know where the old man is?! Arsé-kun: Shadow: *this is very obviously sarcasm* Oh, I have no idea! It's not like he's in the same area as I am! Sheepy: Crow: Oh! I'll just come over there then! Sheepy: *Crow runs over* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Hence, temporary relief. Arsé-kun: *Madarame is patiently waiting for Crow to show up. He is ready for the yelling. He always is.* Sheepy: Crow: Hey, Old Man! Arsé-kun: Madarame: Yes? How may I help the fallen this afternoon?? Sheepy: Crow: *he spreads out his wings* Look at my wings! They were covered in paper mache! Now they aren't! Arsé-kun: Madarame: Oh? They've finally healed? Very nice. :) Sheepy: Crow: I got kidnapped last night, and when I came to, they were fixed. Sheepy: Crow: There was another thing, too...what was it... Sheepy: Crow: Oh yeah!! Sheepy: Crow: My dad showed up today! Arsé-kun: Madarame: So it really was someone else yelling with you. Sheepy: Crow: He needs a place to stay for a bit. Arsé-kun: Madarame: Will he make trouble? Simple yes or no. Sheepy: Crow:? Arsé-kun: Madarame: Let me try again. Will I have to clean up his messes until he wishes he were reciting the scottish curse? Sheepy: Crow: I dunno. I haven't seen the guy for like... Sheepy: Crow:...10 angel years or so? Sheepy: Crow: I can't say I remember too well if he causes trouble... Arsé-kun: Madarame: ... ... *he shakes his head, unsure what he expected* Then it is now your responsibility. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: I dunno how to keep dads out of trouble. Only cattle. Arsé-kun: Madarame: I'd suppose it'd be similar enough. Sheepy: Crow: Y'gotta show just a bit of dominance...But with Dad... He'd probably decimate me. Sheepy: Crow: Hey, wait. You didn't ask that about Shuzone... ... ... Sheepy: Crow: *he's thinking* Arsé-kun: Madarame: Rom already introduced him to me. Sheepy: Crow: Huh... Sheepy: Crow: I don't really get it...Dad's an adult, so he wouldn't cause trouble, would he? Arsé-kun: Madarame: I don't know. Being an adult doesn't stop many people. Sheepy: Crow: What? Really? Sheepy: Crow: I'm called a troublemaker too. I don't get why. Arsé-kun: Madarame: It might be due to the trouble you make. Sheepy: Crow:? Sheepy: Crow:???? Sheepy: Crow: I'm not causing trouble. I'm embracing who I am even though no one else will! ...Heh! That sounded really cool! *pose* Of course the great Crow says such cool things! Arsé-kun: Shadow: Even if the world turned against you, you'd still be as you always have. *... Unsure if that's actual, proper respect or if he's trying to out-cool Crow. It's one of them. One, the other. Not both.* Sheepy: Crow: Yeah! Yeah! Sheepy: Crow: I've been chained up, accused of crimes I didn't commit! Punished mercilessly! Kicked around just 'cause I'm different! Arsé-kun: Shadow: And are you still kicking? Sheepy: Crow: Yeah!!!! Arsé-kun: Shadow: Are you gotta beat down those who've done you wrong, and show them?? Arsé-kun: Shadow: That they're stupid and wrong? Sheepy: Crow: Yeahhh!! Sheepy: Crow:...Eh, but if I beat 'em up, it'll prove 'em right that I'm violent... Arsé-kun: Shadow: ... I didn't plan that far. Sheepy: Crow: Old man, do you wanna meet my dad? He's actually older than you somehow! Arsé-kun: Madarame: How impressive, but not quite yet. Sheepy: Crow: Alright! Sheepy: Crow: You can meet him later! I don't think he's got any theater talent, though. Sheepy: Crow: Oh yeah. Oh yeah! Sheepy: Crow: Something happened to Rom last night but he's alright now. Arsé-kun: Madarame: :v Arsé-kun: Madarame: Very well, I'll speak to him as well. Sheepy: Crow: Good! I'm gonna work real hard on making my wings strong again meanwhile! If I do, the other four may come back! Arsé-kun: *Madarame doubts this, but doesn't voice the concern* Sheepy: Crow: Then there's nothing to worry about when Im around because I'm super strong! Sheepy: Crow: I'll go tell Dad I told you! Sheepy: *Crow rushes out* Sheepy: *...Shuu has managed to start napping in the brief time that Crow was gone. Not for long* Arsé-kun: Yaiba: --- And that's what Evangelion is about, but only the first one Sheepy: Aion: Amazing...You know so much about Evangelicalism...! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: That's not what I... But yes, I do know of that as well, hence I will take the compliment! Sheepy: Crow: Hey guys! I finished talking to the old man- Are we talking about soap? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Of course not!! Sheepy: Crow: Really? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: For the last time, Evangelion is not a soap brand! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: ... And One Piece is not about jumpsuits! Sheepy: Crow: Hmmm...These names are too hard.... Sheepy: Aion: The Dark Sun God praises your otherworldly knowledge! Sheepy: Aion: Where do you learn such things? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Wouldn't you like to know? Sheepy: Aion: Hah. Of course. Teach me this forbidden knowledge. Sheepy: Crow: It's google, right? I bet it's google! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: It's from actually watching the damn show, hence something you, Crow, don't have the patience for! Sheepy: Crow: Weh! I don't wanna watch something super long to figure out what happens! Sheepy: Crow: Tell me the ending and I may wanna know how we get there! Sheepy: Crow: But why would I wanna start a journey that I don't know the destination of!? Sure, it's all about the journey, but the destination totally changes my feelings over the journey! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Fine. The intended destination is stopping evil angels from starting the apocalypse. But with gigantic robots, which is cool as hell. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I won't tell you if it succeeds or not. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: ......... Sheepy: Crow: What, really? Arsé-kun: Yaiba: That's the plot. Sheepy: Crow: I've seen some green-haired creep messing with robots before. I tried talking to him once and he insulted my intelligence and turned his attention back to his work... Sheepy: Crow: A guy like that's probably next to be blamed for something he didn't do now that I've been used up. Arsé-kun: *he's absolutely right but doesn't know that yet* Sheepy: Crow: But...How're robots supposed to defeat angels? We can just blast 'em to pieces. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: With fictional technology, next question. Sheepy: Crow: Psh! Robots don't have any mobility anyway! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: What kind of lame robots are you looking at? Sheepy: Crow: There are different types? Sheepy: Crow: They're metal. Metal doesn't bend... Sheepy: Crow: 'Specially like this! This is the movement of a fallen angel! Sheepy: Crow: *he leg slams on the nearest table* Arsé-kun: Klimt: *reappearing, having been "summoned" by this* Is that all? Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow:...It's pretty good, isn't it?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: It is very good, but does not prove the flexibility you want! What you want is..! *he slams his leg REAL high up on the wall, right beside Crow. Almost a leg kabedon except also exactly not that* Sheepy: Crow: I want to try! Arsé-kun: Klimt: If you hurt yourself, I don't wanna hear it. Sheepy: Crow: Heh! You'll see! I won't hurt myself! Sheepy: *Crow slams his leg on the wall. Of course, he's short and new to Wall Leg Slam so it doesn't go as high as Klimt's* Sheepy: Crow:........ Sheepy: Crow: ?!?!?!?!? Arsé-kun: Klimt: Wonderful job, but what is that face for? Sheepy: Crow: *fighting back tears* Of course the great Crow is capable of it! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Crocell, what did you do? Sheepy: Crow:...I broke it! Sheepy: Aion: Hah. The rodent does things out of his capabilities and ends up paying the price... Such is what rodents do. Sheepy: Aion: This god will pick up your bones. Arsé-kun: Klimt: That is... Incredibly ominous, thanks. Sheepy: Crow: *annoyed tail swishing* It hurts a ton! Don't taunt me, you NEET! Sheepy: Aion: A god does no manual labor. Hah. His accomplishments cannot be put on a resume. So a resume he is without. Sheepy: Crow: Oi! Shaddup! It's not like you even...Ouch, ouch! It hurts a ton!!! Sheepy: Crow: How do you do this without pain?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: Habit, mostly? Sheepy: Crow: So if I do it every day... Sheepy: Crow:...I'm gonna become even stronger?! Sheepy: Crow: Heh! I can already tank Rom's punches! I'll be absolutely unstoppable!! Arsé-kun: Klimt: That's the spirit! Sheepy: Crow: Then I can even fight you and win! But not yet! My power hasn't returned yet. Sheepy: Crow: I lost it in the fall! I have to work hard to get it back to prove that I don't do evil things with it. Arsé-kun: Klimt: Maybe start by not doing evil on a daily basis? Sheepy: Crow: What evil do I do? Sheepy: Crow: I never commit evil... Sheepy: Aion: Hah... Sheepy: Aion: *pose*... Sheepy: Aion: Day by day...Day by day...Yes...That is how the Dark Sun God thinks... Sheepy: Shuu: Never give up on your dreams ⭐ Keep striving, reaching out beyond the limits of our galaxy, until you find your own shiny star ⭐ Crane ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu:....*he yawns. elegant way to finish that* Sheepy: Crow: It's CROW!!! Sheepy: Crow: And anyway, not even Rom has arms long ebough to touch the sky! Sheepy: Crow: I can't touch stars! They're actually beyond the sky! In space! Sheepy: Shuu: Just use your wings ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: Spread your wings and reach for the stars ⭐️ Pelican ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: The heck is a pelican?! Sounds dumb! Is this intentional? It’s gotta be intentional!! Arsé-kun: Rom: .... *he thinks about this for a minute before making the excalibur face* Sheepy: Shuu: Hehe ⭐ Arsé-kun: *Klimt is offended FOR Crow. How Dare You???* Sheepy: Crow: No, no! What is it?! Really?! Arsé-kun: Klimt: A bird that could easily swallow a myumon whole. Sheepy: Crow: EHH?? THEY CAN BE THAT BIG?! Sheepy: Shuu: No ⭐️ You’re just small enough ⭐️ Arsé-kun: Klimt: They've tried to eat human children. Hell, they'll try to eat people. Sheepy: Crow: What?! Where do they live?! Sheepy: Shuu: By the water ⭐️ Sheepy: Crow: What water, what water?! Can they show up in the bath?! Sheepy: Shuu: ....Hehe ⭐ Sheepy: Crow: ?!?!?!?!?!?! Sheepy: Crow: Rom, is this true?! Are pelicans real?! Arsé-kun: Rom: What do you mean "ARE THEY REAL"??? *he dope smacks Crow* Yes, of course they are! And they don't go indoors, so go take a shower or something! Sheepy: Crow: Ouch! Sheepy: Shuu: Wow ⭐️ So cruel ⭐ Sheepy: Aion: Of course the black swan knows great many things about birds... he is one. Sheepy: Shuu: ... Sheepy: Shuu: No ⭐️ I’m a- Arsé-kun: Rom: Big problem. Sheepy: Shuu: So mean ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: I do my best ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: People have a difficult time figuring it out ⭐️ My manager has banned me from revealing it ⭐ Arsé-kun: Rom: Not that it applies to before that manager. Sheepy: Shuu: Like you know ⭐️ Sheepy: Crow: I assumed you were a sparkle dog. Arsé-kun: *Yaiba snorts* Sheepy: Shuu: No ⭐ No ⭐ No ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: No, he's got a point, hence perhaps he may be correct this once, what with your tendency to sparkle and obnoxious color schemes. Sheepy: Shuu: I removed the dye from my hair. What more do you want? Sheepy: Crow: There's still a rainbow... Sheepy: Crow: It's not as bright as before...... Sheepy: Shuu: That's natural ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I mean whatever that outfit you were wearing for the heroes and villains series. My eyes still cry for mercy. Sheepy: Shuu: ?...... Hehe ⭐ That's the wrong theme ⭐ That one was fine ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: To you, maybe! Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Not the black one! The... Stupid curly hair! Sheepy: Shuu: Oh, that one was awful ⭐ But I don't pick my outfits. My manager does ⭐ Sheepy: Shuu: ...Occasionally I influence the decision ⭐ Arsé-kun: Yaiba: How dreadful. Even the Black Monster dresses better than you. Hell, Crow dresses better and we're not even sure who lets him dress himself! Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Sheepy: Crow: Me, obviously. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Legend of proving my point. Sheepy: Aion: ........Hah......The Black Monster has little knowledge of dressing himself.. Arsé-kun: Yaiba: Y-you weren't supposed to bring that up! Sheepy: Aion: ? Sheepy: Aion: But you said... Arsé-kun: Yaiba: I can't tease Crow when you admit to being lower than him! Sheepy: Aion: Ah... Arsé-kun: *In the background, Klimt is personally kicking out someone who should Not Be Here, and they (Azathoth) just throw Balmung a bone before being thrown outside. The tupperware is thrown out after him. With no context, "How fresh is fresh, mad king, and where did you get that?!". Thanks. It is recommended Shuu doesn't look.* Arsé-kun: *And also? That "bone" isn't just a dog toy, a rawhide, or even a leg bone. That is, without any doubts, a spine. The dog is chewing on a presumably human spine. Kids, if you'd like to be traumatized, now is the time.* Sheepy: Crow: Hey, I know what that is! Sheepy: Crow: It's a snake skeleton! Arsé-kun: Rom: ...... Arsé-kun: Rom: I've decided we should do something else immediately and right now. Sheepy: Crow: Eh? Why? Arsé-kun: Rom: Are you asking the one with a full-time job why he's making an executive decision? Sheepy: Crow: N-no! Arsé-kun: Rom: Then lets go. Mr. Madarame should have something for us to do. Sheepy: Crow: Uh...okay. Arsé-kun: *Rom herds a bunch of animals out. Shoo. Go. Don't look at the DEFINITELY HUMAN SPINE that Klimt is trying to get from his dog. That's BLEEDING on the FLOOR-- DON'T LOOK AT IT!* Sheepy: *Shoo, Shuu* Arsé-kun: *the mad god feels Unappreciated. he came bearing Gifts and he was Removed for it. But he knows who does appreciate him!!! ... If he can FIND his son. One in particular. you know.* Arsé-kun: *speaking of, whats happening in the locale that nyarly frequents* Sheepy: Harley: I'm busy. Leave me alone. Sheepy: Nyar: But I can totally help! I'm bored! Arsé-kun: *Randy, come get your cat. Shaggy is getting 1000% in the way. it is cat time.* Sheepy: Harley: *he tries to shift Shaggy off of his paperwork* Arsé-kun: *Shaggy mews and sploots across the desk* Sheepy: Harley:... Sheepy: Harley: *he sighs and pats Shaggy* Arsé-kun: *mew* Arsé-kun: *... and Nyar is "under attack" from the shadows. or is it an attempt at human affection? pay attention to your father. appreciate him and regale him.* Sheepy: Nyar:? *he looks over* Sheepy: Nyar: What's going on? Do you need help? Arsé-kun: Aza: ... *has no fucking idea what he's doing, obviously* ... You do best with human emotions. I have concepts I need you to explain. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh? Go on. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... Gave Kliff's companion bone. ... It was not appreciated for some reason, before removing me from the premise. Sheepy: Nyar: What? Really? Oh, maybe it's because I messed with him a bit. Sheepy: *Harley's hand is hovering by his side...* Arsé-kun: Aza: ... Thought it was something I did. Sheepy: Nyar: Well, you say you gave him a bone. But some people find certain bones creepy. Arsé-kun: Aza: The canine was enjoying it. Did I maybe scare him by mistake..? Sheepy: Nyar: Maybe. Sheepy: Nyar: Maybe try store brand next time? Sheepy: Nyar: Store brand can't go wrong. Arsé-kun: Aza: I thought fresh was best for animals. Sheepy: Nyar: Too fresh scares the owner. Arsé-kun: Aza: What a waste, then. What am I meant to do with failed projects? Sheepy: Harley: *he's beginning to look very antsy* Sheepy: Nyar: Ehhhh... Arsé-kun: *Shaggy rubs on Harley* Sheepy: Nyar: Secretly give them to Klimt's dog anyway. Sheepy: Nyar: Or Lilith. Arsé-kun: Aza: I was able to repair the child's wings, but humans don't take too well to the addition-- Hm? Lil would like them... Sheepy: Nyar: Yeah, but the kid was born with wings. Six of them, in fact. His body is structured to be able to handle it. Sheepy: Nyar: But humans aren't built for it. Arsé-kun: Aza: I see. So it is a unique case. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... ... Would it work for a smaller being? Sheepy: Nyar: Maybe. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Ah. You. *he FINALLY notices Harley. somehow. blind idiot god everybody* The brave one. Sheepy: Harley: The one whose brother you could've killed. Sheepy: Harley: You hurt my friend, too. ... Arsé-kun: Aza: Unlikely. Human resilience has proved that is difficult outside of circumstances... Sheepy: Harley: You nearly killed me. Arsé-kun: Aza: ..... ...... You're here. Sheepy: Harley: Yes, thanks to my friends and family. Somehow, we're still here. Despite you. Sheepy: Nyar: Cheer up. That can change. Arsé-kun: Aza: ..... ? ?? Sheepy: Harley: *he shoots a nasty glare at Nyar briefly before looking back to Aza* Do you even care how many lives you've ruined, how many families you've crushed? Arsé-kun: Aza: .... ...... What? Sheepy: Harley: Every single person you stole away...maimed...killed...they all had a story. All of them. Sheepy: Harley: And you....you- you ended it prematurely! They had LIVES! Loved ones! And YOU...! Arsé-kun: Aza: ..... *he's got no words. he even pushes his hair out of his face to better see Harley. There is Genuine Confusion* Sheepy: Harley: They never asked for what you did to them! Never! But because of your own selfish ideals, you used them as tools! And all you can say to me is that I'm still here?! *he's shaking from rage* What about the people who AREN'T? What do you have to say about them?! Arsé-kun: Aza: I had already accepted that any death by my hand was my own doing. However, seeing as death has never been a permanent event, I.... Truly don't see the problem. Sheepy: Harley: Those people are never coming back! Arsé-kun: Aza: ?! Sheepy: Harley: We aren't LIKE you! We don't just die for a bit and come back! Sheepy: Harley: Once we're dead, we're dead! There's no second chance! Arsé-kun: Aza: *he stares. This is new information. How this is new information despite his bodycount is absolutely beyond me and anyone present* Sheepy: Harley: I'm here because I'm lucky...! Not because I revived! Arsé-kun: *Azathoth is genuinely trying to understand this, but his three brain cells are playing ping pong with the fourth brain cell. For scale, it's like a human trying to understand an ant. But not like that* Arsé-kun: Aza: .... When humans die, that's.... It? Nothing else at all..? Sheepy: Harley: There's nothing else. Sheepy: Harley: All that lives on is their memory. That's it. Arsé-kun: *Azathoth has gained insight! He hates it a lot.* Sheepy: Harley: It's only because Watson, Sherlock, and Mycroft helped me that I survived. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Nyarla. Is this, possibly, similar to the Great Race of Yith, without the technological advancements? Am I understanding this? Sheepy: Nyar: Yup, basically. Arsé-kun: Aza: That would..... Have been... Very good to know. Sheepy: Nyar: Oh. Whoops. Sheepy: Nyar: I knew it but didn't care enough to think of it. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... ..... hanguur’fhalma, y-mka. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Nyarla, I request a new.. Um. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Can you explain why a human heart tends to alter its weight without the permission of the owner? Arsé-kun: Aza: ult kadishtu gof n’ghft? Yes? You understand? Sheepy: Nyar: Eh? Sheepy: Nyar: Like a heavy heart? That's guilt. Sheepy: Nyar: It's a feeling they get when they've done something wrong. Sheepy: Nyar: Honestly, I've never felt it. Sheepy: Nyar:...Dad, are you- are you feeling guilt? *he seems bothered by this* Arsé-kun: Aza: If I knew, I would either tell you or get it wrong. Arsé-kun: Aza: The last time I experienced something like this... .... I don't remember. You'd only been borne recently, and humankind hadn't existed yet. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... But oh. An emotion. I thought I lost this when the human solar system lost most of its planets. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... This is more uncomfortable than having them normally. I don't want this. Sheepy: Nyar: *he tilts his head* But why are you having them? Arsé-kun: Aza: As.... An autonomic response to a provided stimuli of sufficient force? Sheepy: Nyar: Huh. Arsé-kun: *... Someone knocks on Harley's door. At least SOMEONE in this house is polite* Sheepy: Harley:....? Sheepy: *Harley opens it hesitantly* Arsé-kun: Germain: Is everything okay in here? Sheepy: Harley: I lost my temper. I apologize for the disruption. Arsé-kun: Germain: No, no. I thought it was quite interesting that it was you yelling, and I now see why. Shall I take this off your hands? Sheepy: Harley: Please do. Sheepy: Harley: I need to work but he makes this difficult. Arsé-kun: Germain: Certainly. Nyar, we're going to be shaming this. *he gestures to Azathoth* Come help us be horrible people. Sheepy: Nyar: Uh...okay. Arsé-kun: *Germain personally drags Aza downstairs for some Group Shaming* Sheepy: Nyar: *he follows Saint* Sheepy: Nyar: This is a huge group... Arsé-kun: Randy: Good afternoon. :) :) Sheepy: Nyar:..... Sheepy: Nyar: Uh...Hi. Sheepy: Sherlock: We have beeves with both of you. But especially him. Arsé-kun: Randy: Nyar has been given his share of shaming already, but over time. Sheepy: Nyar: I'm immune now! Arsé-kun: Randy: You still have the self-ego of a potato mixed with my depression and a bowl of stale pudding. Sheepy: Sherlock: So we just shame Azathoth? Maybe I should even call Mycroft over...he has a reason to be mad... Arsé-kun: Germain: Why not? We have to get it out somehow. Without inciting violence. Arsé-kun: *van keeps his shotgun out anyway* Sheepy: Sherlock: Harley did a good job at that. Arsé-kun: Germain: I certainly agree. Sheepy: Nyar: Hey, maybe Dad has learned enough human nature for one day. Arsé-kun: *Randy cracks his knuckles* Sheepy: Nyar: Hey, hey, hey! Without inciting violence, huh? Arsé-kun: Randy: Learn sentience, whether it's enjoyed or not. Sheepy: Nyar: You can't teach sentience by punching people. Can you? Arsé-kun: Randy: Cthulhu learned it after being hit by an ocean liner. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh... Sheepy: Nyar:....I guess I'm just a messenger, huh...So maybe... ...Oh. I've got places to be! Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Order for the messenger. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... Inform Cthugha to turn it down a few degrees. Kelvin. I can feel it from here. End message. Sheepy: Nyar: ................ Sheepy: Nyar: .........................Haha. I realized I actually DON'T have any place to be. Sheepy: Nyar: So I'll hang out here. Arsé-kun: Aza: .... Proper order for the messenger. Arsé-kun: Aza: ..... Inform Aphoom-Zhah to do the prior instructions. With vigor. End message. Sheepy: Nyar: ........Uh............. Sheepy: Nyar: .........I'll go ask Phil to ask Aphoom-Zhah to ask them. Sheepy: Nyar: That should work. Arsé-kun: Aza: ... Permitted. Sheepy: Nyar: Great!! Arsé-kun: *and then the bad and powerful Demon Sultan, the Mad God, th(etc) gets shamed by a bunch of mortals. If we showed it to you, we'd have to kill you, bury you, and kill you again. And then Randy ends with complaining about how the "man" does not understand the concept of privacy or KNOCKING before sending him to the Cornfields. BEGONE THOT. ... Aza could have easily no-selled it, but he didn't bother. Probably too tired to care about corn. Karma served. Azathoth probably got punched like 6 times. Y'know* Arsé-kun: Arséne: *He pokes his head out from behind his desk* It's over, right? No more weird stuff? It's gone? Sheepy: Sherlock: I think so. Arsé-kun: Germain: He's gone. Nyar, you can come back out now. Sheepy: *Nyar comes out of hiding* Arsé-kun: Germain: That should be the end of that. I hope. Sheepy: Nyar: I don't want to be a part of that again. Arsé-kun: Germain: What, you didn't have fun picking apart someone's flaws? Sheepy: Nyar: But it's my dad... Arsé-kun: Germain: Aren't you such a family friendly octopus? *he squishes Nyar's cheek* Sheepy: Nyar:?! Arsé-kun: Germain: How sweet of you~~ *he's teasing Nyar* That's so cute. Sheepy: Nyar: H-hey!! Arsé-kun: *Van is wiping blood(??) off his shotgun and making a Face. It Smells Like My Cooking.* Sheepy: Iris: Where did Azzy end up anyway? Arsé-kun: Van: Something about a cornfield. Probably the States. Sheepy: Iris: Maybe he'll come back with a postcard or two. Arsé-kun: Van: And a few new gunshot wounds, most likely. Sheepy: Iris: He should heal like Nyarly, right? Arsé-kun: Van: ... Right. *frown* Probably. Sheepy: *Harley has poked his head in curiously* Arsé-kun: Germain: Welcome back. We finished what you started and sent him to Corn. Sheepy: Harley: Corn? Does that require a shotgun? Arsé-kun: Van: Shooting the sonofabitch absolutely required a shotgun. Sheepy: Harley:...It's just you. Arsé-kun: Van: Assume it's me unless I am dead. Sheepy: Harley: It startled me. Arsé-kun: Van: Sucks. *pauses, looks at Iris for a second* .... Fine, I'm sorry. Sheepy: Harley: Thank you. Arsé-kun: Arséne: So I suppose we can say Twilight will be dismantled now that he's gone? Sheepy: Nyar: Eh? Arsé-kun: Arséne: You were never the leader, and he was what kept it running. Sheepy: Nyar:.......... Arsé-kun: Watson: I for one adore the idea of dismantling it, but the sheer amount of work is what is stopping me from suggesting it. Sheepy: Nyar: Eh... Sheepy: Nyar: Too much work. Arsé-kun: Watson: ... But if it'll annoy Nyar, I'm in. Sheepy: Nyar: Hey!!! Arsé-kun: Watson: What's wrong, Dearie? Can't take a little bit of clean-up? Sheepy: Nyar: I don't want to do it. Arsé-kun: Watson: Then give me access and I'll do it. Sheepy: Nyar: You'll mess everything up. Arsé-kun: Watson: It's already a mess. We need to free every single person, one at a time. Slowly. Sheepy: Nyar: Whatever. Arsé-kun: Watson: And I can let Naoya come with. I can see the articles already. Maybe I can ghostwrite a few... Sheepy: Nyar: ... Sheepy: Nyar:......Sheesh. Sheepy: Nyar: You really want attention because you saw someone else's work? Arsé-kun: Watson: Only that first half, thank you. If you're going to analyze me, do it right. Sheepy: Nyar: But it's not your work. Arsé-kun: Watson: Perhaps not, but it is still interesting. Credit where credit is due, of course. Sheepy: Nyar: Wow. Arsé-kun: Watson: ... What I am saying is, if you had went for my sense of fame and attention immediately, you'd have won months ago. Sheepy: Nyar: You desire fame? Why? Arsé-kun: Watson: Because being referred to as "The Partner" REALLY grates my goats! I wrote the novels..! I'm a doctor, I'm not some... Sheepy: Nyar: Huh. Sheepy: Nyar: But it's only the blond one. Right? That other one doesn't seem to treat you as such. Arsé-kun: Watson: Don't tell him I said this, but in that relationship, Harley's the partner. Sheepy: Nyar: What makes a partner a partner? Arsé-kun: Watson: Well, they're not in charge, but still willing to help however they can. Maybe calling Har a partner is pushing it, hmm.. Sheepy: Harley: Partners are meant to be equals who work together. Sheepy: Nyar: Snooping isn't right, you know. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Name one time that's applied in this building. Arsé-kun: Arséne: So that's really it, eh.. Sheepy: Harley: You seem let down. Arsé-kun: Arséne: It felt so... Inconclusive. We know the answers, but it didn't feel right. Sheepy: Harley: I suppose so. And the damage still remains. Arsé-kun: Arséne: We'll just have to do our jobs and help clean up, huh. Sheepy: Harley: Right. Arsé-kun: Arséne: ... Am I forgetting something? I feel as if I'm missing something. Sheepy: Harley: What are you forgetting? Arsé-kun: Arséne: *flat look* Now, if I knew that, it wouldn't be forgotten, now would it?? Sheepy: Harley: I guess not... Arsé-kun: Arséne: Arrest my memory and subject it to good cop bad cop, or... ... *thonkang* Wait. Arsé-kun: Arséne: .... ...... Arsé-kun: Arséne: .... :I Sheepy: Harley: What? Arsé-kun: Arséne: Hey, I have to make an excuse, what's the best you have? Sheepy: Harley: "I have better things to do with my time". Arsé-kun: Arséne: I have better things to do with my time than get dragged to jail by you!! *and he Promptly Bails, knocking his chair over in the process. He remembered.* Sheepy: Harley: ?..... Sheepy: Harley:........ Arsé-kun: Germain: Harley, did you not tell him that you would arrest him once this was dealt with? Sheepy: Harley:....... Sheepy: Harley: I don't remember. Sorry. Arsé-kun: Germain: How unfortunate. I'm sorry for prying. Sheepy: Harley: No. You aren't prying. Arsé-kun: *Arséne slowly comes back, somewhat disappointed.* Sheepy: Harley: I don't understand. I'm sorry. Sheepy: Harley: I still have gaps in my memory. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Non, it's fine. I shouldn't have expected it to go smoothly. Sheepy: Harley: It isn't personal. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Of course. Completely understandable. Arsé-kun: *He's still disappointed, though. He fully expected Harley to remember agreeing to arrest him once Twilight had been dealt with, and he hadn't planned for any alternatives. He steps over his kids (one reading and one dead in miami from exhaustion) to return to his desk* Sheepy: *Harley takes advantage of Arsene's disappointed and distracted state and handcuffs him to the chair!* Arsé-kun: Arséne: EH?! Sheepy: Harley: You can't let your guard down so easily. Arsé-kun: Arséne: You think this- *he yanks his arm* Is gonna stop me so easily?? I can break these cuffs! Sheepy: Harley: You can't break those cuffs. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Either give me three sets or none at all! Sheepy: Harley: How unfortunate. I'm fresh out. You can buy me some later. Arsé-kun: Arséne: *he throws his hands in the air* What, am I supposed to just walk in and ask "Heyo my neighbors a lazy bastard so I'm buying handcuffs for him??" D'you know how bad that sounds?! Sheepy: Harley: Well, you do want to be picky. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Well, obviously! But I can't say THAT! Sheepy: Harley: Then what do you want from me? Arsé-kun: Arséne: A list of the brands you use, because these..! *he picks up the broken cuff* Are absolutely terrible quality! Sheepy: Harley: I haven't a clue. I'm not in a line of business where I usually buy handcuffs. Arsé-kun: Arséne: *he sneezes into his arm* Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit. Sheepy: Harley: Tell me one reason why I would need handcuffs. Arsé-kun: Arséne: To restrain a criminal? Obviously? Sheepy: Harley: Oh? You wouldn't just do it with your bare hands, huh. Sheepy: Harley: I'm kidding, of course. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Yes, because I have the time to rig a train car full of string and making sure the idiot in question doesn't have idiot friends. Sheepy: Harley: ...Haha. Sheepy: Harley: I want to see you confused and just on the verge of defeat. That expression of yours gives me a thrill. Sheepy: Harley: I'd only drag you to prison if I could trust you to break out again. Arsé-kun: Arséne: And obviously I would! Who do you take me for? Sheepy: Harley: But right now... Sheepy: Harley: I have other responsibilities. Sheepy: Harley: You'll have to wait on me. Too bad. Arsé-kun: Arséne: I also have a lot of work, so you'd be waiting to. So much paperwork, opening time for the inevitable interviews, your brother, getting everything all sorted out, cleaning Pepper's cage... You know. Sheepy: Harley: How unfortunate. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Oh, yes. I recommend opening a few timeslots, no doubt Naoya will want to speak with you also. Sheepy: Harley: ....Why? Arsé-kun: Arséne: You're involved. Sheepy: Harley: *he has tensed up some* ...Thank you for the warning. I'll make sure to be out when he comes over. Arsé-kun: Arséne: You'll be first to know when he is. Sheepy: Harley: Thank you. Sheepy: Harley: I'm of no interest. No need to mention my part in the whole thing. I did very little. Sheepy: Harley: Watson can explain everything. Arsé-kun: Arséne: Lucky him. Sheepy: Harley: He wants fame. He can talk about how he saved the day. Sherlock can ramble about his accomplishments. They're partners so them both being interviewed makes sense. Sheepy: Harley: I'm not his partner. I have no need to be a part of the interview. Arsé-kun: *A granola bar is flung at Harley's head. shut up and food* Sheepy: Harley:?! Sheepy: Harley: What...? You can't just hand me things? You have to throw them at me? Sheepy: Harley: I'd expect better from a doctor such as yourself. The second rule of being a doctor is to not injure your patient. Arsé-kun: Watson: My leg hurts. Watch this. *he flings another granola bar across the room and smacks Sherlock in the face before landing perfectly in his lap* Parkour. Sheepy: Sherlock: Ow!! Arsé-kun: Watson: That's what you get for not eating today. Sheepy: Sherlock: Yoi could ask me kindly to come over... Sheepy: Harley: It's more than just pain in your leg, isn't it? It's what I said. Arsé-kun: Watson: For you it was. But did you eat today either? Sheepy: Harley: ...Haha. Sheepy: Harley: I've been busy. Arsé-kun: Watson: I'm going to stand here and watch you until you eat that. Sheepy: Harley: Really? Your leg won't give out first? Arsé-kun: Watson: You're so cruel. Sheepy: Harley: And you aren't? Sheepy: Harley: Maybe I learned it from you. Arsé-kun: Watson: .... You may be right. Sheepy: Harley: Hahaha... But at least Sherlock didn't end up that way. Sheepy: Harley: Perhaps that's why he ended up your partner. Arsé-kun: Watson: ... Maybe. Maybe not. Sheepy: Harley: You seem hesitant. Arsé-kun: Watson: I know what I'm not allowed to discuss in public. Sheepy: Harley: We can discuss it later then. If you want. Arsé-kun: Watson: I'd love to. Sheepy: Harley: I see. Well, just for you I will. Arsé-kun: *Watson appreciates this!* Arsé-kun: *Meanwhile on floor level, Sheepy's trying to read a book but the book is trying to eat Randy's sleeve and Tom, and Tom is just quietly screaming this entire time. Absolutely nothing is being gained here, but everyone's alive and that's what counts. anyway*

NOOOO he’d introduce him to lucas like “this is my nestling!! me n otto are raising him :)” and lucas is Soft for that bc logically and rationally he knows it isn’t a nestling or anything, it’s a toy, but he is absolutely uwu for awsten because YES that IS your and ottos nestling! it has horns and everything! and aws is :DDD and nodding and telling lucas all about the furby, when his Birthday is (“it’s a thing otto showed me! there’s cake!”) and how much he n otto Love him :(
