Based!! All of this! Based!

I WOULD say that this isn't very in character for the players...but now that I think about it, it is. It really is. And you even made alternate lines for things like Hyper missing a certain shot. You could have just wrote generic lines for every phinisher, but you didn't. So kudos to you!

I'm sure its so fun having a ghost breathing down your neck and judging your every error 🥰🥰🥰

Lee Jeno x Male Reader

an: based on the sex pollen trope.

—

lee jeno is a masterful spy working for the government,this time his mission is to deactivate an explosive device set in one of the stadiums in the city, which is packed with civilians today. “okay mr. lee you will be disguised as a policeman and your job is to cut the cables of the device to avoid the explosion. but in order to maintain your safety you will be accompanied by mr. ln”. “what?” jeno said surprised, “i can do it by myself” he adds. “we know” the higher up replies quickly, “but it’s just so you can do it without worries”. jeno was ready to talk back but the video call was cut off, “damn” he sighs.

the reason why jeno was so opposed to the idea of being with yn is because they had a past together that didn’t end well. they both were trained in the same academy to become top tier spies so naturally a relationship bloomed between them but the constant missions in which they had to go to different locations created a rift in their relationship which finally ended when they both had an argument. jeno sighed, he knew that sooner or later he had to talk to yn but he doesn’t feel ready yet.

“hello jeno”, yn awkwardly said, a bit flustered. “oh, hi y…n…” and as if he was in one of those cliche movies the world stopped when he saw yn in front of him, even his hair moving in slow motion. “close your mouth or a fly will enter it” yn joked trying to lighten the atmosphere. jeno giggled flustered, “are you ready for the mision” jeno asked. “mmh hmm” the other nodded, “let’s just do this fast and get over with this”, a lump forms on jeno’s throat. as much as he wants to deny it he wants to spend some time with yn even if it’s just for a mission they had to do together.

“yeah let’s go” yn leads the way, entering the black van followed by jeno. the pair accompanied by the rest of the team arrives to the stadium, trying to blend in as just simple viewers of today’s game. “the report says that the bomb is near the south entrance, let’s go there then” jeno says looking at his watch and pressing the stopwatch button that started a countdown. the pair arrived at the south entrance while the rest of the team stayed in the van to communicate instructions to them through earphones.

“we are here” yn touches his earphone waiting for instructions. “yeah umm you should see in front of you the bathroom signal, go there and turn left you should see a door” yn signaled jeno to follow him, “the door’s locked. i need a code” jeno talks to jisung, who was in charge of the technology part of the mission, a hacker you must say, “wait a second aaand… done, it’s open now but don’t let it close or else you have to wait almost one hour so i can open it again”.

“roger that” quickly jeno went towards the strange package wrapped in a black trash bag and some tape. he looks at his watch and wipe the sweat off of his forehead, while yn stands on the door watching if someone comes. jeno unwraps the package and sees a quite fancy device for it to be a bomb, “this looks tough” jeno murmurs but he then breathes deeply and relaxes his nerves, “phew.. how do i start..” anxiety starting to take over him. “hey” yn blurted out, “it’s okay, don’t worry” jeno looks at him, those words reminiscing him of their past days, “you can do it” a soft expression plastered on yn’s face that made jeno regain his confidence, “thank you” he says softly resuming his job.

out of nowhere yn hears footsteps running towards the door, “jeno i don’t want to scare you but i think we have some company coming our way.. no pressure tho”, jeno again giggles nervously, “sure” his face and arms dripping with sweat.

suddenly a pair of hunky men burst through the door, yn adopted a position to get ready to fight “focus on that damn bomb i’ll take care of them”. one of the men runs towards yn and he does the same landing a punch on the other’s face but he then is met with a punch on his face too that sends him flying to the floor, “guess this is not gonna be boring” he spits some blood and cleans his lips with the back of his hand, “come on assholes, you two are going to be my bitches today” a smirk appearing on his face.

while the three keep throwing punches and kicks here and there, jeno was still disassembling the device but he couldn’t help to glance at yn, his bloody and bruised face. he felt a rush on his body, a need to go and help yn but he knows he needs to focus and end his job. yn manages to knock one of the men on the back of his neck leaving him unconscious on the floor but the other one manages to overpowered him, throwing him to the floor and starts to choke him. desperately yn punches and scratches his face trying to get him off of his neck, veins start to bulge on his forehead a neck,his face completely red and his eyes becoming hooded. when he thought that would be his last breath he felt the pair of hands leaving his neck alone so he quickly crawled away from there and coughs a lot. his chest heaving a lot trying to catch some air then he looks at the other man screaming. the cause was that jeno threw a little knife to his thigh. “you damn fuckers” he cries in pain pulling the knife out and pressing against the wound. he then stands up and pulls out a vial out of one of his pockets he then picks up the other guy and throws the object to the floor near them, “let’s see if you both can keep focused on disassembling that shit” he runs towards the door and close it. from the vial a pink smoke comes out, “what the fuck is that” yn asks, “maybe some toxin?” jeno answers and then freaks out, “are we gonna die?” his tone was laced with worry. “i don’t think so, he said something to keep focused”, “so maybe a hallucination gas or something?” jeno says. “i don’t know man but just finish your job.

yn takes off his jacket and wraps him around jeno’s mouth and nose, “try to not breath much of that gas. you’re almost done with it.. good job” yn pats jeno’s head and sits against a wall.

finally with the last cable being cut the device turns off by itself and jeno celebrates standing up and cheering like a little kid in a birthday party. pressing again the button on his watch to stop the stopwatch seeing he also break his previous record of the time he spent disassembling explosive devices, it made him more confident on his job. he then turns around and see yn slumped against the wall, sweating a lot and his face flushed as hell, “oh my god yn, what happened?” he takes out the jacket around his nose breathing in the gas too. “i don’t know i feel weird… and hot..”, “do you have a fever or something?” jeno caresses his face surprised by how hot he was, “i think this is because to the gas jeno” yn squirms on the spot, a moan escaping from his mouth. this catches jeno off guard and the gas starts affecting him too, “yn i- i’m sorry for what happened that time”, he positions himself on top of yn, his veiny arms on each side of yn and his face turning red too. “i was a fool, scared of being with someone” his face drooping on yn’s shoulder, “i’m so sorry for telling you all those things to make you get away from me” he nuzzles his head on yn’s neck leaving subtle little kisses on the burning skin. yn moans due to the other’s actions, “jeno.. it’s- it’s ok, i’ve already forgave you” yn pushes jeno’s head harder against his neck, showing jeno that he wanted more and the latter complied, his lips sucking around the skin leaving hickeys on it, he then licks a stripe and afterwards bites that spot leaving a mark of his teeth on there. “you look so pretty like this, all flustered” jeno praises. “i need your help jeno… it’s itching… inside me” yn confesses, shy and flustered. “don’t worry i’ll help you with it” jeno kissed his lips, licking the blood that was on them.

the scene escalated quickly with them both discarding their clothes,craving to feel each other’s bodies, the burning sensation that is left on them every time their bodies touch. “i missed this” jeno declared while leaving more mark on yn’s torso. “fuck jeno” yn moaned, hooded eyes and drool coming out of his mouth, he was already a whimpering,”i barely touched you and you are already so fucked up”, jeno swear he can almost see yn’s pupils turning into hearts by how horny he was right now. jeno ripped yn’s briefs leaving them as if it was a jockstrap, his bare ass touching the cold floor. the top’s hand slid up and down yn’s pulsing hole, his middle finger moving right above said part. jeno kept on kissing yn, swallowing his moans while his fingers prepped him down there. “i’m sorry” jeno apologizes again, tears forming on his eyes “it’s not the time jeno” yn holds back a whimper when one of jeno’s digits entered his hole, “i know but i just want to tell you that i still love you”...

jeno slicked his dick with yn’s saliva, that he previously asked him to spit on his hand, and put it on the other’s entrance. pushing little by little until he stuffed yn completely with his fat dick. “i forgot how hung you are” yn express while getting used to the sensation. “but you know how to take it like a champ.. you never disappoint me” jeno praises. his hung cock going in and out of yn’s ass while his balls smacked against him. “god how much i’ve missed clapping your cheeks” jeno snickers and kisses the tip of yn’s nose, “my pretty prince”. “jeno you make me feel so good” yn claims, “yeah i know that, your body tells me everything. i wish you could see how your hole grips on my cock it doesn’t want me to leave it empty”. jeno pulls out watching at the gaping hole clenching, slapping the tip on it and putting it in to then slam himself with all the strength he has left on his body.

jeno keeps railing yn while he lays down, back against the floor, grabbing him by his legs as a way to keep himself steady. on the other side yn was jerking off at the sight he has in front, jeno’s sculpted torso all sweaty and with some marks, his chest bouncing thanks to the recoil of his powerful thrusts and his slutty waist moving as if he was dancing a choreography, in short jeno knows how to fuck, how to make yn feel on cloud 9 with his big dick. few minutes later, unable to hold it more longer and the constant abuse suffered from jeno’s tip touching his prostate, yn spurted cum all over his body with some landing on his face and hair. “wonder how long has it been since you masturbate, this seems to be a lot of jizz” jeno played with the liquid with his fingers, coating one of his digits and then smearing it on yn’s lips like a balm and kissed him immediately afterwards.

“please give it to me. fill me up” yn begged hugging jeno, one of his hand on his wide back while the other on one of his ass cheeks to try to make him go faster, “i love how your tip kisses my prostate but i need you to move faster please, go hard” his moans growing louder when jeno accelerated his pace, “yesss” yn rolled his eyes back, “fuck me like the beast you are. break my fucking ass” the sudden change on the tone of his pleas drove jeno wild, as if those simple words turned on a switch inside of him he went as fast as he could, the outline of a bulge forming on his tummy every time jeno goes in and by consequence yn ends up scratching the top’s back, “what the fuck” jeno growls, opening yn’s mouth with his fingers and spitting on it several times, “swallow it” he demanded, then sliding his index and middle finger on yn’s lips while he sucked them.

now in a doggy style jeno is doing the last thrusts when he uses the previously sucked fingers to introduce them along with his dick on yn’s gaped ass, while his cock keeps opening yn’s walls his fingers massage the rim of his red puckered hole.

“fuckk” with a loud grunt jeno empties himself on yn, every spurt followed by little grunts. jeno plops himself on top of yn, eager to feel the warmth of his body. “that was way good” yn blurted out, caressing jeno’s hair, “good make up sex” jeno adds, both snickered when they hear the door unlocking, “umm… you all can go out now, i could unlock the door again” jisung spoke to both through their earphones and then realization kicks in, yn gasps while jeno stays still with open eyes. they were so focused on each other that they forgot to turn off their earphones, so basically, jisung heard all the heated sex session. “sorry jisung” yn muttered. “it’s okay” in the van a flustered jisung was stunned, flushed face, sweaty forehead and a big tent forming on his pants, “i need a second” jisung tells the rest of the group in the van while going out of the vehicle and ran towards the nearest bathroom.

“do you think he’s gonna say anything?” yn asks jeno who just shrugged it off, “i don’t care, that way they know you’re my boyfriend now”, yn giggled like a fool in love, “i’m serious” jeno seals his words with a passionate kiss.

✦ LOST IN LIMBO DEVLOG #16 | 03.03.2025

Aaand February is gone! Obliterated! Sent to oblivion! Which means a new devlog of Lost in Limbo is here to keep you updated about our work on the game. This has been a very eventful month in our private lives, and there has been a lot of work behind the scenes—but I know that's not what you're here for!

Let's jump into it! 💜

This month, Raquel has managed to finish Amon's new expressions and I've already coded them! She has also been working on Envy's new coat and their expressions, and we can't thank her enough for her hard work. Remember she now works from 8 to 13 and 15 to 18, and is still working for LiL, too!

Our second background for the Extended Demo's prologue is done, thanks to Airyn and Astro! We may make a few tweaks to it but here it is—Master Lysander's shop from the outside! Quite an interesting place, huh? Suspiciously different from the other buildings around it, some would say...

Astro has also finished the 3D modeling of the third background, which our Kickstarter Backers will be able to see in our Kickstarter devlog! :^) Now that he's free from 3D modeling hell, he'll be free to do a few adjustments to our artbook! 💜

This time, I'm talking about writing and programming in the same section, as process has been going well but there's not much to 'show' without spoiling scenes of the Extended prologue—which is something we don't want to do yet!

Kayden is still working on the new mini-cgs for the new prologue, which I hope we can show really really soon!

Our voice actors have also been sending over more voiced names, and we've been working with them to get the best takes for y'all!

This month we have also had to focus on taxes, paperwork, and going back and forth with our manufacturer, plus a few irl things we'll tell you all about in the next section!

Our discord peeps already know, but our Raquel has found a full-time job and we are very happy for her. She finally can start supporting herself, and even if that means she can't work on LiL as much as before, she's doing great sacrifices to keep up as much as she can. Astro now has three jobs and I myself have spent half of February hosting classes in college about character design, which is great! However, I got home at 11 pm (blame it on the flood that stroke my city on October), so I've been a bit all over the place.

We want to apologize if this devlog seems a bit short, or if progress this month lets y'all a bit down. On a happier note, we've joined our first festivals this month, including The Storyteller Festival, and Steam's Visual Novel Fest! Also the Amare Games Festival 2025 over at itch—we hope we can do at least a small update for the deadline, but I'm not so sure about that T_T

Phew! This month has been hectic, and sadly not for the right reasons. As irl things keep happening, you get a bit scared of not being up to the task of developing your game at a pace that satisfies not only your supporters, but yourself. As I write this I'm itching to go back to writing the prologue, haha.

So, yeah! I hope we can keep balancing our lives and LiL as best as we can. I also hope we get a bit of good news from our counselor regarding taxes, and I hope this month is full of cool opportunities for us! 💜

As always, thank you so so much for your support! See you in the next one! 💜

FUCKIN. PHEW

doctor appointment done. I got the note my boss needed for the days I spent puking lol. Aaand I got set up with a referral to a faster than 18 month wait list holy shit diagnostic thing. The issue(s) with the therapist I had been going to was... like, I guess she was the earliest mental health professional of any variety they could get me into after I was hospitalized. But she was a student working under a psychologist and couldn't diagnose stuff and was just doing run of the mill depression+grief stuff and it wasn't helping. What sucks is apparently she actually noted PTSD symptoms in my chart but... didn't mention it to me and couldn't do anything about it and ...? I mean I am kinda like "well no shit I've got PTSD what else on top of that" but I also would've thought she would have passed me off to another better qualified person at that point, but... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

OH FUCKIN' WELL. progress Haircut tomorrow and then this getting productive stressful shit done week will be fucking complete

Toi Shiramitsu SSR Card Story 「Electrifying Fan Time」 Part 1

Location: HAMA House

Momiji: (That shopping trip was great. I was able to buy what I was looking for without any problems. What a nice day off this has been~)

I’m ba–

—ck!?

Momiji: (Toi-kun collapsed!?)

Toi: Ah…Chief…san…

Momiji: Are you okay? Did you have an accident!?

Toi: C-Chi-sama…

Momiji: Huh?

Toi: When I said goodbye to Chii-sama…he said he’d bring me back a gift…!

He even…winked at me…aahh.

Momiji: (Oh, it’s a false alarm.)

Toi: I’ve made up my mind. There was never any reason for me to think twice about it.

At the mini-live to celebrate Chii-sama’s release from prison next week, not only will I buy a new light stick, but I'm going to make a brand-new fan too!

Momiji: That reminds me, isn’t a lot of the merchandise you own handmade?

Maybe I could try making something to cheer Yuki-nii on at his competition next week…

Toi: Say…if you’d like, we could make fans together in my room?

Momiji: Are you sure?

Toi: Of course. I bet Yukikaze-san would love to see you supporting him.

Momiji: Thank you…alright, I’ll put away my things and then join you in your room. I won’t be long!

Momiji: I’m here…oh, where are the other two?

Toi: Ani-sama and Netaro-san have been out spending time together since this morning.

Momiji: (Together…that sounds a little concerning but it should be under control as long as Ryui-kun is there…)

Toi: Shall we get started then? I have plenty of fan colours to choose from so pick whichever one you like.

Momiji: There’s so many options that it’s hard to choose…I'll go with light blue to match Yuki-nii.

We’ll be decorating these, right?

Toi: Yeah! I’ve printed out a bunch of letter templates so use whatever ones you want.

I even have the kanjis for ‘yuki’ and ‘kaze’.

Momiji: Oh, perfect, I’ll use those ones. Thank you.

Toi: Help yourself! The scissors and glue are over here.

Momiji: What’re you going to put on your fan, Toi-kun?

Toi: I want to try out something different so I’m having a hard time deciding…I even ended up staying awake ‘till pretty late thinking about it last night.

Chief-san, do you think I should go with the sparkly stickers or the matte ones?

[Option 1]: How about the sparkly ones?

Momiji: How about the sparkly ones? Chihiro-kun likes that kind of stuff, right?  Toi: Yeah, something metallic and sparkly suits Chii-sama’s radiance, don’t you think? It’s amazing how well you understand Chii-sama, Chief-san! Sparkles it is then!

[Option 2]: A matte look would be nice too.

Momiji: Sparkles might be more fitting but a matte look would be nice too, right? I mean, sometimes Chihiro-kun makes mature expressions while he’s dancing, doesn’t he? Why don’t you try to represent that side of him? Toi: Mature…Chii-sama… AAAAAAH, wait, wait, if he ever looked at me like that, not even 100 hearts would be enough to keep me alive. Aah, seriously, he’s so perfect it’s gonna make my brain fry!! Momiji: C-Calm down, Toi-kun! Toi: Huff, huff, sorry, I didn’t mean to get so excited… But I’ve never thought of that before! I’ll try making something more refined this time!

Toi: …Ehehe, consulting with each other while we make our fans is a lot of fun.

Momiji: I’m glad you think so but…what about Ryui-kun? I’m sure he’d be happy to give his advice on anything you wanted. 

Toi: That’s true, it’s just—

Ryu: This is the greatest fan I’ve ever seen, Toi. It’s a national treasure.

Toi: —He always praises me.

Momiji: I see, so it’s not the kind of consulting where you exchange opinions…

(Even so, Toi-kun’s smile when he imagines Ryui-kun is filled with love…)

Toi: Aaand…done!

Momiji: Your fan looks great! I better put extra effort into mine too…!

Toi: Take your time, don’t rush yourself. I’m here to cheer you on, Chief-san!

Momiji: Phew…I finally got the tinsel attached.

I’m done too, Toi-ku…oh.

Toi: Zzz…zzz…

Momiji: (That’s right, he said he was up all night deliberating yesterday.)

Toi: Zzz…ani-sama…chii…sama…fufufu.

Momiji: (He looks adorable when he’s sleeping…I wonder what he’s dreaming about?)

(I’ll put a blanket over him so that he doesn’t catch a cold. Let’s see…)

(Oh, there’s one. I’ll borrow this and—)

Momiji: Toi…kun?

Sakyo: (I know the film industry’s a harsh place, but to think I’d get dropped because of my voice… What could I have done differently here?)

Sakyo: (Rehearsals took longer because of me, so I should apologize to the staff before leaving–)

???: Ah, you, do you have a moment?

Sakyo: ?

???: Too bad this one was a fluke. And you finally got a role with lines.

???: Like the director said, your voice makes lines stand out, so it’s not suitable for the role of an extra.

Sakyo: … This is not a part of myself I was ever conscious of.

???: … Actually, can you make your voice even deeper?

Sakyo: (What’s a role I had a deep voice for…)

Sakyo: “‘Tis an honor to meet you. I go by the last name of Kazama, first name’s Ginji. I look forward to working with you.”

???: Hmm, hmm. That’s good. Yes, good.

???: What’s your agency?

Sakyo: I belong to a theater company, but am otherwise a freelancer.

Matsui: All the better. My name’s Matsui, here's what I do—

how do you feel about ichiro x ramuda ?!

These two definitely make me smile whenever they are mentioned.

The reason for this is their simple, easy-going, positive relationship, which allows to step away from the main conflicts. Although this is fraught with a lack of their interactions in the canon, since drama is still the foundation of the plot... And although I certainly don't undertake to carefully come up with headcanon interactions and details of their connection, I always welcome official updates on these two (just think of Ramuda's charming advertisement for the Buster Bros team in Rhyme Anima!). The peculiarity of their interactions lies precisely in this simple friendship, where they seem to be not very close (after all, they are both very busy individuals), but they are comfortable enough in each other's presence.

Perhaps, I would not mind if their relationship was revealed in more depth (uh, this could potentially have already been done, but I missed a good half of the updates, phew) but for now I am very happy with this pleasant fellowship!

Aaand thank you very much for your interest if you've read this far. Yea~ahh, I really enjoy discussing the relationships between characters, and I'm grateful for the given opportunity!

That night, the "tooth fairy" comes to A1's little hut. He tiptoes in and shuts the door behind him, humming quietly to himself.

There's a little shape beneath the bed, giving stifled giggles as it tries very hard not to move its tail.

"Ooh, it looks like she's asleep," the "tooth fairy" whispers. "I'd better be careful..."

For a moment, Bad's worried that she's put the tooth under one of the many pillows she hides under the bed. Then he sees the little sign in her big shaky handwriting that says "Tooth Here" on the pillow on top of her neatly made bed.

Holy MUFFIN she's so cute. He picks up the sign.

"Tooth Here," they read carefully, under their breath. "Ah, okay. Phew!"

He carefully reaches under the pillow for the tooth and slips her present underneath.

"Aaand done!" he says softly. "I hope she likes her present. She's such a good kid. I love her a lot."

With that, he tiptoes out the door again. He pauses in the doorway.

"Goodnight, A1."

…

When she wakes up (or whenever she decides to check,) she'll find a little plush Cucurucho beneath her pillow. It's a reject from Dapper, some official Federation thing, but they've never liked it. 

To make up for the fact that it's a hand-me-down, Bad's stitched a little heart onto its chest.

From that moment onwards, Minirucho never leaves her hands.

Disconnected running thoughts on this 1911 plastic surgery book:

Ooh, retro autoclave:

In retrospect I should not have been surprised that those butterfly closure thingies were that old.

Oh wow, those are fancy:

On post-surgery care:

The strength of the patient must be supported by the free use of stimulants and frequent small quantities of nutritious food. Milk with whisky is excellent.

I appreciate that they champion local over general anesthetic where at all possible, but this bit was, uh:

In neurotic and anemic subjects a full dose of strong wine or whisky should be given half an hour before operation. Habitual drinkers should be given one quarter grain morphin sulphate.

There was a really good stretch where it was talking about the, like, fabric of skin and had a bunch of diagrams that I doubt are much different from today's practice. And then we got into "zoödermic grafts."

That is…a long section on paraffin. And vaseline. Dude was really into injecting paraffin and vaseline into people.

Okay, I'm most of the way through skimming this and it swings wildly between "techniques that definitely saved peoples' lives and/or quality thereof" and "dangerous things done for vanity." Which is kind of still where plastic surgery sits today, to be honest.

Imagine getting electrolysis with a bunch of these suckers:

Aaand fini! Phew, that was a trip. I didn't even make a little note of everything that was notable.

The 1910s/20s were a wild time for medicine. Got one good foot into the waters of medicine that actually consistently helped people (mostly by being pretty solid on the "germs bad" part), but there was still a whole lot of throwing random drugs and injections at the problem without actually like, checking if they were poison or not first.

Mr. Piranha: We're bad!

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

At the News Company building. Mira was typing an article on the Bad Guys. They stopped another criminal almost doing something drastic to an innocent family. Glad that the Good Bad Guys arrived just in time to save them. That is going in the newspaper

"Aaand… done!" She typed fast in the end, and lifted her hands from the keyboard, "Phew, the Bad Guys had done it again, huh? Now I deserve my break," Mira then saved the file of her article, and opened another one. The file is just a story that she made as a hobby if she ever got bored with her job. She continued typing where she left off.

"And so, after having to have searched through many of the thriving habitual residencies where the gentlest of wildlife reside, the lonely woman finally found her savior in khaki. Callum greeted her with a friendly hug right in front of the zebra exhibit, where the zebras themselves mimic the humans' special display of bonding by cuddling one another as well. Mirabelle looked into Callum's eyes, feeling her initial despair and loneliness fade away and only for an instant because of the special moment she was sharing with the love of her life. Both humans standing together, where only the sound of the parakeets at the Aviary nearby provided a harmonic serenity to their moment. Safe in her comrades' arms feeling as snug as a joey in his mama's pouch, as if nothing in the world could ever harm her emotions as the feelings of loneliness she resided with many many moons ago before meeting the special man. Despite many eyes of the wildlife watching, it felt as if they were the only ones on Earth together, them against the world where only the army of animals around them would protect them and guide them. For someplace as chaotic as a zoo, work chaos and craziness drive among more than the animals themselves, for one single moment as the pair laid eyes, locked in a trans as steady as the stare of an owl, and shared a gentle kiss under the bringing light that made their love shine so bright, even the bats in the darkest caves could see it. Callum was a man of many passions when they came to the protection and care of the animals around him, but the most important animal that he made sure to always care for the most was Mirabelle, who to him, was like gold, a treasure he would always cherish forever and ever."

"Mhm." Mira nodded proudly for herself at this paragraph of her story. Then, she looked at her wristwatch. "Oh, almost time for lunch," She saved her file but didn't close the window. She left the computer open just in case she'll return to make some edits for her story.

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

Later, a few minutes after Mira left, Shark came by her office, holding a pen.

"Hey Mira, I just came by to return your pen," But when Shark looked up, Mira's desk was empty, "Mira? Hello?" He wanted to make sure Mira is still around the room, but everyone else already left for lunch.

After dropping the pen into the pencil holder, Shark couldn't help but look over behind Mira's desk where the computer was on and her file was open, "'A Wildlife Lust by Mira Rose'. Wow, Mira really likes to write," When Shark took the time to read the paragraph Mira just wrote. His eyes slowly widened in shock, and gasped "Oh, my gosh, this is amazing! This is basically a guide to what Mira is looking for in a lover."

Just then, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet came by in front of Mira's desk where they found Shark behind it.

"Hey, Shark, have you caught up with Mira?" Piranha asked.

"No, but check this out," Shark said while pointing to the screen with his fin, "Mira is writing a romance novel about a woman who is unhappy with her life and begins to have a torrid affair with a lover who loves zebras. Don't you know what this is?"

"That you violated her privacy?" Tarantula guessed.

"It's a description of her every fantasy and desire. This could finally be my key to…"

"To what, making out with my friend?!" Hornet gagged, "You know, you are the worst. And I thought Snake was the worst."

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

The next day, at Mira's house, Mira was doing some gardening when all of a sudden, a shadow blocked the light behind her back. Mira turned around where the shadow came from. To her shock, she saw Shark, wearing a tan safari hat, a beige khaki shirt and shorts, and brown boots, and riding on a zebra.

"Good morrow! What is thee, uh, up to?" Shark tried to get into character that Mira wrote.

Mira stood up, and asked, "Shark, is that your zebra? Wh-When did you get a zebra?"

"Oh, I've been an Equus for a while."

"Do sharks like you can be Equus?"

Shark hopped off the zebra, and patted its side, "Just my trusty steed here. We have a special connection. Me being an equestrianist and everything."

"I-I had no idea you were into zebras," Mira was unsure of this about Shark.

"Attractive, huh?" Shark smirked.

"No, seems like a hassle, and expensive. How do you pay for it all? Did you use the stolen money?" the journalist inquired.

"Well, the costs are meager when you're able to dominate and control the beast with just... the slightest glance," Shark explained whole narrowing his eyes with his fins, until the zebra attempted to eat his hat, "Stop it," he managed to pull the hat away from the zebra's mouth.

The Bad Guys were behind him as their "wingmen" as Piranha laughed, "Ha, ha! What?! This is loco!"

"Anyway, I've been speaking to my zebra in the silent language of knowing, and I…" When Shark moved behind the zebra while explaining, the zebra kicked him, and landed in front of his friends.

"Never walk behind a zebra. You would have to hate zebras not to know that," Hornet warned.

Bu Shark got back up, and walked back at Mira and the zebra, "Being one with nature…" He was behind the zebra again as he got kicked away. Shark returned, still back behind the zebra, "A mutual bond of trust…" He got kicked once again, and went back, "Different species, same heart."

That last kick caused Shark's snout to get twisted to one side. Shark confronted the zebra from the front as he fixed his snout back to its rightful place, and said in À La Daffy Duck accent, "You're dethspicable."

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

Later in the afternoon, the Bad Guys were headed in front of a zoo where Shark was holding a printed copy of Mira's story after he had Tarantula secretly printed it for him back in Mira's workplace yesterday. When Shark was headed to the entrance, the Bad Guys followed him, and Wolf decided to pay for the visit.

"What the heck, Shark? I thought we were gonna get a ten-dollar scoop of ice cream with all the millennials who can afford ten-dollar scoops of ice cream but can't afford to move out of their parents and/or guardians' house," Hornet said.

"We are. But first I need to pick up this hat that Mira mentioned in her story. Where's that part about the hat?" Shark said as he looked down on the copy of the story as he and his friends entered the zoo after Wolf finished paying, "'Both humans standing together, where only the sound of the parakeets at the Aviary nearby'," Shark read while the Bad Guys walked near the bird aviary and see some parakeets flying around, "'Despite many eyes of the wildlife watching'," Shark continued reading as some pigeons and squirrels scattering the sidewalk, "'For one single moment as the pair laid eyes, locked in a trance as steady as the stare of an owl'," Shark read the last part as Snake noticed a barn owl at the zoo's petting zoo staring at them

"Uh, Shark, everything you read just happened to us. I think her book is about the zoo," Snake noted as Wolf, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet noticed this too.

Then, Shark turned around, and gasped with his eyes widened in shock, "Oh... my... golly."

"What?" The other Bad Guys asked.

When they looked in the direction where Shark was staring at, they saw a man in a tan safari hat on his head, a beige polo T-shirt with dark beige sleeves, and a symbol of a dove carrying grain on the left side of his chest, tan khaki shorts, and grey hiking sneakers with white laces. feeding a lovebird in his hand. His name tag was written "Callum".

"It's the guy, Callum, from Mira's book!" Shark exclaimed, "She's fantasizing about being in love with this guy. Or, who knows, maybe even is in love with him.

Suddenly, an old man approached the Bad Guys, and looked down at Piranha, "Excuse me, do you have nachos?"

Piranha was confused about what was happening when an old man asked him for food, "What? We don't work here. We're the Good Bad Guys. I... do I... Do my-do my clothes make it look like I work here?" He asked his friends.

"I think it's your suspenders, yeah," Hornet mentioned.

"They must've thought you work in the zoo's food area here," Wolf guessed.

Then, the manager of the food court appeared, with the same suspenders as Piranha, and told the little fish, "Hey, get back to work."

"I'll see you back at home, amigos. I've got to finish my shift," Piranha said as he rushed to work.

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

Later, Piranha left work after his "shift", and exhaustingly rode a cab until near the bridge to prevent the driver to know the Bad Guys' secret hideout. Piranha had to walk all the way down there to get to his home. When he made it to the hideout, only he brought was a little amount of money, and a bag of food he got from the zoo.

While they were waiting for him, the Bad Guys had been doing their hobbies, except for Shark who couldn't stop thinking about Callum for being Mira's fantasy guy who was real all along.

"Guys, I can't believe it. I mean, do-do you think Mira likes this Callum guy more than me?" Shark inquired sadly.

"Maybe you're overthinking this, Shark. I mean you and Mira are just friends, remember? You guys dated just once, and that's it," Wolf said.

"Yeah, what's your big deal on this?" Tarantula asked before guessing in a loud shock, "Are you… are you in love with Mira?"

Shark shook his head, wanting to deny it, "No, not really. I mean, a little bit. Just a little school crush. She's a nice person, and she deserves better."

"And you think she deserves you as her partner for life? I'm not against it, Shark, but you know our reputation in the city. What would other people say about Mira when she would end up with a former criminal shark like you?" Snake clarified their status.

Shark didn't like where Snake was going, but for once, he agreed with him. If Mira ended up with Shark, her reputation would be ruined, and he didn't want Mira to have that kind of life. Mira already liked her life and her job, and Shark didn't want her to lose all that because of love.

Just then, Hornet received a notification from his helmet. He wore to see what he received, "Hey guys, Mira texted me that she's going out and won't be back until later tonight."

"Why did she text you about that?" Piranha asked suspiciously.

"We're texting buddies every now and then. And also she wanted to inform me that she's okay every time she goes in and out of her work and house," Hornet smiled.

Shark gasped, "Oh no, guys, she's going out and won't be back until tonight? Do you know what that means?"

When Shark turned around, all of his friends wore disguises, Wolf dressed as a cop, Snake as a cowboy, Piranha as a treasure chest, Tarantula as an anime cutesy maid, and Hornet as a Brazillian Carnival Dancer, only with a skirt and a headdress.

"Disguises? We know it's your favorite thing," Tarantula guessed.

"No, but we should follow her and see what the hell is going on," Shark suggested.

Snake groaned as he facepalmed with his tail, "Face it, Shark, you're jealous that Mira likes someone else than you."

"No, I just want to protect her from the worst decision she'll ever make, now come on!" Shark demanded as he rushed to the elevator to get to the car. The other Bad Guys groaned as they followed him, still having their disguises on.

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

The Bad Guys, without their disguises anymore, arrived in front of Mira's house across to street to avoid getting caught by Mira. Wolf thought it was a ridiculous idea to drive and hide from Mira while Shark wanted to investigate Mira's "fantasy" guy, but the leader has no choice. Shark is his friend, and he couldn't let him down.

The Bad Guys waited for an hour until Mira got out of her house before locking the door.

"There she is," Tarantula pointed at Mira who walked towards her car, and drove away.

"Follow her," Shark demanded.

When Piranha opened a can of soda, and drank it, Wolf hit the pedal, causing an opposite reaction where the soda spilled all over Piranha's face, "Aw, great," he groaned, and noticed his clothes were soaked with soda too, "Just great."

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

The Bad Guys continued to follow Mira. It was a little bit far from her house, but then, she parked beside the sidewalk. Wolf then parked a little far from Mira's car, but near enough for the Bad Guys to watch her got out of the car. Then, there was another car coming, and parking in front of Mira. It was Callum, stepping out of his car.

"There's Callum too," Wolf pointed.

As the gang observed, Mira and Callum opened their arms, and leaned forward towards each other.

"He's going in for a hug. They're hugging! This is insane!" Shark exclaimed.

But Hornet didn't pay attention to all that as he took pictures of Callum with his helmet, "I know. This guy. This guy is a star."

"Ugh, Hornet, this is unnecessary," Piranha rolled his eyes, feeling jealous.

"I can't believe it, guys. She met up with him here. They hugged. Mira is dating this guy. We've got to stop them," Shark said worryingly as he unfastened his seatbelt, and hopped out of the car. The other Bad Guys unfastened their seatbelts, and moved out of the car. The Bad Guys rushed to Mira and Callum before something that they expected would happen.

"Mira, don't do it!" Shark shouted.

Mira and Callum were startled as Mira turned to see all 6 of her criminal/vigilante friends, "Shark? Bad Guys? What are you all doing here? Don't do what?"

"Don't date Callum! It's not worth it!" Shark pleaded.

"What are you talking about?" Mira asked confusingly.

"Look, I found your file and read it. I thought that you wrote everything you were looking for in a lover, and, if I could embody some of those things, maybe I would have a shot with you. But then I found out Callum is real, and-and I couldn't bear to see you do something like this to yourself," Shark confessed, feeling worried for her.

But then, Mira was surprised about this from Shark, and instead of feeling shocked, she made a disappointed look, "Wait, let me get this straight. You, without asking, read something I wrote? Then, thinking I was revealing all my most intimate wants and desires, you thought that you could exploit what you read to impress me? But when you thought I might be cheating with someone other than yourself, you found that, and only that, morally objectionable? And you bring your friends here, who doesn't understand what's going on?!

"Trust us, We understand a little bit what was happening," Snake chuckled.

Mira rolled her eyes before clearing her throat to introduce them to the guy next to her, "Guys, this is Callum Kalemberg, he's my ex-boyfriend."

"Your ex-boyfriend?" The Bad Guys repeated in unison.

"Wait, so that means you used to date him?" Wolf questioned to clarify this.

"Yes, but that was a few years ago. We broke up because, well…" Mira wanted to explain, but she's not the only one who decided this break up.

Callum stepped in to explain further, "Turns out it never worked out between us. So we decided to break up."

"But if he's your ex-boyfriend and you're not in love with him, why do you have to meet up with him?" Shark asked.

"I'm just here to pick up our daughter," Mira answered.

The Bad Guys gasped loudly, and yelled in shock, "YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER?!"

Mira nodded, "Yes, I have a daughter. Ever since she was born, Callum and I shared custody with her. Callum kept her from Sunday to Wednesday, while I took her in for just Thursday to Saturday. Her school wasn't far from our houses, so there's no need for longer or shorter custody time."

"Oooooohhh…" The Bad Guys finally understood what was going on.

"And yes, I have fantasies about him dominating me with his idiot charming looks…" Mira admitted without even looking back at Callum.

"Aww, and hey!" Callum felt appreciated yet insulted about two things Mira described to him.

"But it's just that... A fantasy. That's why I wrote it in a story, because I knew that I would never act on it," the journalist finished her sentence.

Callum scoffed while his arms crossed, "It's more like you wanna take that all out through writing."

"I'm a journalist. I love to write," Mira glared at Callum before glaring back at Shark, "Ugh. I never thought a shark could be such a genuine piece of human garbage."

Shark finally felt ashamed that he tried to swoon over Mira by following what she wrote in her story, which violated her privacy, then he did something drastic when he thought she was dating another guy, who was her ex-boyfriend, out of jealousy. Shark sighed sadly, "Mira, I'm truly sorry for what I thought. It all just made sense to me at the time. But now that I see what it is, I'm ashamed of myself. I hope you can find it in your heart…"

While Shark confessed his apology speech, Snake brought a zebra behind Shark, and called out to his marine friend, "Hey, Shark."

When Shark turned around, Snake let out a loud and vicious, "Hissss!" the zebra was startled and frightened as it kicked Shark from behind. Then, Snake pulled out an apple, and fed it to his striped friend, "There's a good girl," he patted its snot with his tail.

"Okay, I deserve this." Shark grunted in pain from the kick before standing up, and approaching Callum, "And Callum, I'm so sorry that I suspected you as a bad person."

"It's okay. No hard feelings," Callum understood before turning to his ex-girlfriend, "Mira, don't be mad at Mr. Shark. You're really lucky you have good friends like the Bad Guys who were just looking out for you."

Hornet gasped, "You know us?"

"Of course. Who hasn't?" Callum chuckled.

"So, you're not afraid of us?" Piranha asked.

"Please. I'm a zoologist and a zookeeper. I love all animals, even bad ones."

"That's a little racist," Snake cringed disturbingly.

"Sorry. But I also heard about your reputation, and you still balanced your criminal lives with your job as crime-fighters. So, I'm quite impressed," Callum smiled.

The Bad Guys were a little surprised that there are other people than Mira who liked their good-and-bad balanced lifestyle.

"Wow, thank you," Wolf said.

Then, Mira remembered someone very important to her, "Oh, since you guys are here, do you want to meet my daughter?"

The Bad Guys looked at each other, and they all chanted in agreement.

"Yeah."

"Sure."

"Why not?"

"Let's see the little cutie."

Callum excitingly ran back to his car, and opened the left backseat of the car. He stick his head in, and whispered to a person inside, "Sweetie, come here. There are people would like you to meet."

The Bad Guys and Mira heard Callum's soft voice as the formers tilted their head to take a peak quickly. When Callum pulled his head out, he held a small little hand, and gently guide a little girl out of the car. She was a 5-year-old girl with blonde hair, wearing a white top, a pink skirt, and a giant red bow.

"Aawww!" Wolf, Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet cooed to see the cuteness of the little girl, but Snake didn't care.

When Callum led the girl towards them and her mother, Mira grabbed her hand, and guide her to walk a little forward toward the Bad Guys.

"Guys, this is my daughter, Mariposa," Mira introduced her friends to her daughter.

Mariposa looked up at her mother, who nodded that it was okay, and she came closer to them.

Wolf knelt down with one leg to reach Mariposa's level.

"Hey there, little girl," Wolf patted Mariposa's head.

Mariposa stared up at Wolf as she touched his nose, then tried to reach between his ears. Wolf bowed down for Mariposa to reach his head, making him wag his tail.

"Doggy," Mariposa blabbered.

Wolf chuckled embarrassingly, "Eh, yeah, but I'm not a dog, I'm a wolf."

"W-w-wolfy?" Mariposa tried to pronounce it right.

"There, now you get it," Wolf ruffled Mariposa's hair, making her giggle.

Mariposa then tilted her head to see the rest of the Bad Guys behind Wolf. She gasped when she saw a familiar giant fish, "Sharky!" she rushed to Shark, and hugged him lovingly.

"Aaw, she loves to hug." Shark blushed, and embraced her in return.

"Yeah, she's definitely cute," Tarantula commented, hanging on Shark's shoulder.

Mariposa opened her eyes, and noticed Tarantula, "Toy!"

"No! I'm not a–!" But Tarantula was grabbed by the child, and hugged her tightly, "She's crushing me!"

Mira quickly made Mariposa release Tarantula from almost getting crushed to death, "No, no, no, sweet. Ms. Tarantula is not a toy."

When Mariposa released her, Tarantula crawled back on Shark's shoulder, gasping for air, "That kid didn't know her own strength."

After Shark released Mariposa from the hug, she noticed something tiny flying in front of her face, "Bee."

Hornet chuckled, "No, sweetie, I'm a hornet."

"Bee!" Mariposa turned to her mother while pointing at Hornet, and it made the other Bad Guys snicker.

Hornet groaned, "Why do other people mistake me for a bee?! I'm a hornet!"

"Cute bee!" Mariposa patted Hornet playfully with a hand, though it hammered him down, and almost touched the ground.

Hornet didn't like to be patted like that, but the girl's cuteness made him not hate her.

Then, Mariposa noticed Piranha, "Friend!" she hugged him tightly.

"Uh, do I… do-do I look like I'm some kind of kid?" Piranha asked his friends while feeling uncomfortable.

"You two have the same size, I guess," Wolf said.

"Friend!" Mariposa blabbered again.

Piranha was flattered by this gesture as he slowly released himself from the little girl's hug, and patted her head, "Awww, she is kinda a cutie."

Lastly, when Piranha moved backward, Mariposa then stared up at the tall snake. She was speechless and her jaw dropped.

Snake sighed as she knew what the girl was thinking about her, "I get it. You're scared of a grumpy ol' snake, aren't you?"

Mariposa suddenly smiled with sparkles in his eyes, "I wove snakes!" She quickly hugged Snake, and snuggled her face on his chest.

Snake was startled by the sudden hug. He was surprised that a little kid like Mariposa liked a dangerous snake like him. He was just frozen there, not wanting to move a muscle to avoid startling the kid.

Wolf knelt beside Snake, and smirked, "Look at that, Snakey, you got a new friend."

When Snake looked down at Mariposa, she was still hugging him. He didn't know what to do, but his tail slithered on Mariposa's back, and patted her gently, smiling calmly.

When Mariposa suddenly yawned and almost slept on Snake, Mira chuckled as she pulled her daughter away from Snake, "Okay, Mariposa, you can let go of Mr. Snake now," she carried her, and had her kid's head rest on her shoulder.

"Your daughter is very sweet, Mira," Hornet complimented happily.

"Yeah, just like you," Shark said, making both him and Mira blush a little, "And you're sweet enough to forgive me, and I thought I could be… you know…"

"Oh, Shark, you know that I like you. I really do. But not romantically like you," Mira clarified, making Shark frown, "And it's not because of Callum or Mariposa. He and I are through with it, and Mariposa was used to us being separated. And it's not even because you're a Bad Guy or a shark. It's just that… I don't have feelings for you…"

Shark nodded lightly, "I understand."

"But you're my friend," Mira added making Shark raise his head to look at her, "I appreciate you're trying to look out for me or even trying to impress me, but we would be better off if we're just friends."

Even though Shark felt sad that he has no chance to be with Mira in a romantic way, he was still happy she still accepted him as her friend, "Yeah. We're friends."

When Shark offered a fin to Mira, she accepted it, and the two shook hands as a sign of friendship.

Callum smiled at this sight before clearing his throat, "Well, I better get home. You guys take of yourselves," he walked back to his car with the Bad Guys and Mira waved goodbye at him, and he drove away.

When Callum was gone, Mira noticed Mariposa already fell asleep, "I better get this little one home. It's past her bedtime anyway. I'll see you tomorrow, guys."

The Bad Guys said their goodbyes to Mira as she put Mariposa in the backseat on his child seat, and she stepped inside the driver's seat before starting her car and driving off.

When Mira was out of sight, the Bad Guys decided to get back to their car with Shark's head hung down sadly.

"Sorry, Shark," Tarantula patted. a hand on Shark's face.

Shark sighed while he and the Bad Guys stepped into the car, and fastened their seatbelts, "Well, I know things weren't meant to be, but, at least, Mira forgave and still wanna be friends with me."

"Of course, Shark. Who wouldn't?" Hornet asked.

That question made the Bad Guys wonder silently while staring a each other. That is the question. Who wouldn't want to be friends with the most famous criminals-yet-vigilantes in the world? The Bad Guys snickered before laughing hysterically as Wolf drove the car back to the direction of their home. It was a little funny that everyone wanted to be friends with the Bad Guys. Not everyone should be, but not everyone can. It depends on others. Like Diane, Mira, and now, two more people like Callum and Mariposa.

So, this is another chapter focused on Mira and Shark again, but this time, with an interesting twist.

The whole chapter is a reference from Family Guy: Family Guy Lite.

The chapter revealed that Mira had an ex-boyfriend and an illegitimate child with whom they shared custody.

I named Mira's child "Mariposa" as a reference from the movie Encanto where Stephania Beatriz, the voice actress of Mira, worked in.

The Bad Guys continued keeping their alternate title "The Good Bad Guys" as vigilantes.

Special thanks to MasterClass60 and TU4QU0I53T4IAN6L3 for helping me with this chapter.

NOT AGAIN

Flat possum...

(he’s playing possum)

(E.B. is going to jail)

I crack my knuckles and start completely rearranging the storage system.

It was an over-complicated mess with too many categories, and I’ve learned how to do better

also, the workbench is extremely good and should be the centerpiece

Kimi walks in on the girls fighting (Dwarf and Krobus), ‘til daddy Wizard had to step in

barely make it back to bed after working on fixing the storage all day

Baby!!!

Theophania Garbage!!

E.B. comes over an baptizes her using her watering can, as is tradition

Growing pains learning to use the partially-reorganized storage system mean me and E.B. eat shit staying out too late, Marlon found both of us face down in the mud

(I teleport to the desert by accident, a classic mistake)

the oak trees I planted last time have grown, I can start tapping them for the resin I need to rebuild my kegs

The seduction of Krobus......

me and Kimi happen to meet by chance in the secret woods

Pierre’s Prime Produce now looms over us. it’ll be fine, right?

E.B. got some cherry bombs for me, left them in my fridge

Elliott tells me he couldn’t be happier :’)

(gently probing the skulls....)

should we keep the storage chest full of bones? (hell yes, bone chest)

Kimi finds some garbage cranberry sauce

we resign ourselves to the necessity of building a slime hutch

Pizza is a big boy now!!

strange sound in the night...........

Elliott tells me that Bartholomew called him da-da :)

blueberry harvest is here, that should deal with Pierre’s Prime Produce, right?

nevermind, he sucks! and only wants veggies! and blueberries are fruit!

I find Haley taking photos in the forest, she tries to ride one of Marnie’s cows and falls into the mud (but she takes it in stride)

There’s a weird alien egg thing on the farm!

What’s a little accidental horse theft between friends?

Marlon heard about our slime hutch and came by to get us started

he claims a slime took out his eye. how??

I got a letter from Krobus! It had the recipe for Dark Signs, which I’m now going to use everywhere

E.B. got a catfish from Linus

The Garbage Ducks are stubborn, and refuse to swim

Robin bombs Pizza’s outgrown crib

KIMI FINDS THE PRISMATIC SHARD WE NEED

I get stuck seeing Sam’s band, Goblin Destroyer

Penny calls me “an honorary member of the band”, that’s gotta be one of the most savage burns in Stardew

they weren’t very good, and I went home with my goblin fully intact

Big melon is here!!

aaand the slime hutch is gone. phew

Kimi is torn between cashing the prismatic shard in for the sword, or donating it to complete the museum

Kimi, I’ve already done that, I can just buy you one

E.B. wants one too, if it’s not cost prohibitive

Kimi wants one only if it is

Pizza has insomnia :(

new cow is born, Snurtie!

Museum is complete!! My head fills with thoughts of Garbage...

Kimi is Wild Possum’s favorite

I killed a frost jelly, and Marlon is very pleased

running into Kimi in the storage shed, both out too late to make it back, RIP

Time for some exit explosions

“gptte,”

E.B. was knocked unconscious.....

NEXT TIME:

oops, we forgot to take a picture with the big melon!

finish Pierre’s Prime Produce with some of the radishes, we’re bound to get enough, right?

Moonlight Jellies

Planting for fall!!

buncha cranbs, buncha punkins,

probably gonna plant a buncha other stuff too

Deluxe the ducks’ coop?

maybe if we add more ducks, they’ll be more likely to swim

I wanna learn about burglary......

I might get into some coffee-making around my house......
