HC ENDING:

Ken, with a sleepy Jas, drove to pick up Leyla, and like he said did make Jas go to the backseat. All three then were heading to Echo Acres to drop Jas off when the car sputtered to a stop due to the snow. Of course, Ken also blamed the shitty neighbourhood for this unfortunate event. Eventually though, after many soft coos aimed at his car, it kicked back up again and were no longer stuck. Somewhere in this conversation, Ken very causally mentioned to Jas that him and Leyla were engaged.

"Rude," She narrowed her eyes over at him. "Some friend you are," She grumbled out, her words slurring as she spoke. "He won't go in if I don't. Reverse psycho-something," She pointed out as if it was obvious, though in her hazy state her point was far less strong that she would have otherwise intended it to be. "Ha. No thank you. Collect the money from Nico if you want something so badly," She murmured out as she slouched over on the seat. Her eyes falling closed as he began to start up the engine. "Why do I have to move? But, okay. You'll have to move me though."

Hair Hues of Radiata Stories

Here is the complete list of all the Radiata Stories characters (both recruitable and NPCs) taken from Fuck Yeah Radiata Stories​ and sorted by hair colour. There are a couple things I want to add. 

First off, while most of the characters fit neatly into one of the eight categories, there are some characters whose hair colour was more ambiguous (i.e. dark blonde vs. light brown hair). I placed them where I thought they were best fit.

Black and blue are the same category because some of the black-haired characters like Cairn have a bluish tint and technically speaking, black pigment is really just a dark blue anyway.

There are some characters who are either bald or have their head covered so you can’t tell the colour of their head hair. Instead of classifying them as bald or unknown, I classified them based on the colour of their facial hair and eyebrows. This is why Dynas is in with the brunettes instead of the baldies.

While I could have made a separate category for pink hair, I ultimately decided it should just belong with red/orange because pink is just light red anyway.

Overall, there is a wide, diverse spectrum of hair colours and not all characters fit perfectly into their respective category. So if you think certain characters are miscategorised, well that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it.

Long post under the cut.

There was a quick shift in the room. Noelia felt how her tense mood changed to anger in a matter of seconds. How was talking about winter plans so bad? As if Jasmine hadn't deflected many conversations before. "They didn't come here for me, now did they?" Noel shot back, raising her hands in frustration. "Our dads literally came to town because you got married, so I don't see why us talking about it isn't like okay? Or why it's suddenly an issue when I try to avoid the whole werewolf conversation? I mean, geez, I wonder why I didn't fucking tell anyone I was bitten for a fucking year." Maybe I'm just not fucking ready to talk about this, Noel thought loudly before turning their back on Jasmine. What the fuck was going on?

You've never had a problem being close to anyone else in my life, but Nico's where you draw the line, really? "What do you want from me? Like I've tried." Noel took an exasperated breath as their frown deepened. Was Jasmine trying to imply that Noel's efforts to getting close to Nico weren't enough? Because that was how they read the situation. The mere thought that Noel wasn't doing enough for Jasmine threw her out of sorts. They felt winded. Rubbing their hands over their face, Noel took a deep breath, getting ready to apologize and go outside for a walk before Jasmine spoke again. "Oh, that's rich. Yeah, no. Fuck me, right?" They mumbled before letting out a shaky breath. "No, tienen la razón. Esto no es productivo. Debemos esperar for Tommy and Nico to be here so we can all plan it out. Perdón."

A whirlwind of thoughts crashed in Noel's mind as they tried desperately to not agitate the fire. Just take deep breathes and keep quiet, they kept repeating in their head. They had a bad habit of getting upset rather quickly ever since they were young, and they learned that it was better to apologize and reconvene later than to do whatever the both of them were doing right now. "I'm sorry." They sounded mad, it was hard to not sound agitated. "I should've just said I didn't want to talk about that, and moved on. I'm sorry." Noel turned to face Jasmine as she apologized. "I'll do better with getting to know Nico too." Their chest felt heavy, and Noel couldn't help but just feel like they had failed Jasmine. "I'm sorry." They repeated before turning again. Part of them considered sitting as their dads had suggested, but they didn't want to close the proximity with Jasmine. In fact, Noel was more than happy being this far away from her sister.

"Can I leave? I want to leave. I'll just spend the night at my place, and we can meet up tomorrow." Is this mature enough? They pondered before pacing around the room. The question was clearly directed at their dads as Noel didn't really want to upset them further either.

Jas' jaw tensed as she shot a brow up at Noel who once again turned the conversation back on her loved life to try to deflect off of theirs. "Well, seeing that Nico's family's dead, it would be either our place or Dad's. Though given the hunters that are constantly trying to kill us, it's probably safer to celebrate in the Cove. Dads?" She curved a brow over at them as if to ask to confirm or deny.

"Okay, how about we pocket this unproductive conversation for later, shall we?" Sammy asked, trying to diffuse how tense the air in the room had suddenly become, only for Manuel to mutter under his breath, "You sure you don't want to see where this goes?", before he, too, cleared his throat. "Lo siento por Nico. La pérdida nunca es fácil, como ambos saben, pero-"

"But, maybe we should save any travel discussions for when the whole family is actually here?" Sammy jumped in, shooting Manuel a wide eyed look as if to confirm that was what he was getting at. "Including your husband?"

"And here I thought you were too beautiful to be modest," Jas countered, meeting Noel's eye roll with a scoff of her own.

"Why does that not sound so good?" Sammy whispered into Manuel's ears as they exchanged another concerned look between the two of them as Noel and Jas kept going.

"Oh, wow. Says the person so fucking obsessed with my marriage. But, what? We can talk about me all you want, but not you? God forbid I want the two of you to be close. You've never had a problem being close to anyone else in my life, but Nico's where you drawn the line, really? Forget it," She muttered under her breath, suddenly all too done with this conversation. She hadn't even told Noel that they needed to join the pack. Just that if she wasn't going to join, she could at least hang out with Nico. Jas had never asked her family to be close with anyone before until now and she was starting to realize that maybe she shouldn't have bothered. But, outside of Nico, she genuinely was worried about Noel. They were her younger sibling. It was her job to look after them and how could she, when they wouldn't even talk to her? "Pensé que no mentíamos en esta familia, but what do I know," She muttered under her breath, shooting both of their dad's an apologetic look as she started to up and move towards the door.

"Jasmine," Sammy started to plea to stay, only for Manuel to finally intervene. "¡Cálmate! Jasmine y Noel, siéntense ahora y ni una palabra más, ¿me escuchan los dos?" He raised his voice just enough to make it clear he meant business, waiting for them both to comply before he carried on. "Now, nobody says 'no hay que preocuparse' like that and means it. Y tú, we don't walk away either. You father and I know better than to force anyone in this family to open up before they're ready, but we are only here for the week, so either you two can put whatever this is aside or no one is leaving this room until it is all worked out. Do you understand me?"

[kenxmatsui]

"You have your moments," he said with a shrug, but reality did hold her words as truth she was easier to deal with it, somewhat, but easier than others. "Of course he does, I'm not surprised, but you doing that has me questioning things. But whatever. You both can sleep outside I do not care." He rolled his eyes at that phrase, he found it entirely stupid but did manage to let it slide without commenting since she rectified it for herself. "That's fine. As long as you don't make a mess, you can nap. Just a warning though, if you by chance throw up, I'm making you buy me a new car. Exact replica with all the details as you see now. Right down to the red thread stitching for the seats. Got it?" He wasn't joking.

Checking his the text from Leyla, he hummed a little when the choice was thrown back to him, much like Jas as well. Pondering for a bit as he sat himself in the drivers seat and started the engine, he gave a nod with the decision made. "Alright, neither of you have a preference, so we're going to see Leyla. You'll move to the back seat once we pick her up though and likely be third wheel but I don't want to keep her waiting any longer."

"Than expected? You say that like I'm not typically a breeze to deal with," She pointed out, narrowed her eyes over at him. "Eh. He prefers to sleep outside. You learn to adjust and hoes don't get cold or however that expression goes. Not that I'm a hoe, but I do have a lot of tequila in me right now," She mumbled lazily out. "Touché," She said, letting him scoop her up into his arms and lower her into his passenger seat. "Whichever. As long as you're cool with me napping here. That's cool, right?"

[kenxmatsui]

"Christ, you're going to be more difficult than expected right now, aren't you," he grumbled yet again. "Sleeping on a bench is comfortable is it? I know you married a wolf, but you didn't turn into one." What next, she say sleeping on dirt was preferred? Ken took a moment to set aside his annoyance and moved to open the passenger door of his car before returning to Jasmine's side and lifting her off the bench. "You're going to freeze to death." Five steps he counted, Jas couldn't handle that. Depositing her into the seat, Ken shut the door and settled himself into the driver's seat. Do you want to be dropped off at yours or take a ride to the Daily?"

"I don't know? And no. I tried to, but I can't seem to get to my phone," She tried to tug at her zipper pocket once more, but couldn't seem to get it open. "I don't think that's a good idea," She admitted. Shaking her head back and forth at the thought of having to stand. "You don't have to. I can just sleep right here. It's comfy," She murmured. Her eyes flicked close once more as she curled up on the bench.

"Christ." Ken felt a headache start up. Any questions that would provide clarity or context he felt would be pointless if she was in this state. "Of course, of course you're too drunk to even walk," he grumbled as he quickly texted Leyla about this problem. "Where is Nico? Did you call him?" Did he have to everything himself around here? Walking over to her side, Ken heaved a sigh, "Can you stand up at least? You can lean of me for support." It was a few steps to the car anyway, "You can manage that right?Don't make me have to carry you."

"Mhm. Sleep. Good," She nodded up and down at the thought. "One tequila, two tequila, ten tequila, more?" She guessed. Holding up her hand as she began to count off her fingers trying to recall exactly how much she had. "Mhm. Okidokie. Just one problema. I," She attempted to sit up only to shake her head back and forth at the thought. "don't think I can walk right now."

Ken gave her a heavy eye roll, "That looks like resting, sure. You're practically about to pass out." Why on Earth anyone would drink themselves to this extent and remain in such a public place was beyond him, but there she was. "How much is a little bit? One entire bottle?" With the falling snow and temperatures that would continue to dip, Ken felt a moment of generosity as he looked at her, "Come on, get in the car before you freeze to death. I'll give you a ride."

"Resting," She mumbled out as if it was obvious. Her eyelids fell close only to slowly open them back up to look at him. The snowflakes caught on her lashes as she lifted her fingers up. Holding them in front of her face no more than an inch apart as if to demonstrate as she tact on, slurring her words as she spoke, "Little bit."

Option A

With a snow storm advisory that had recently been announced, Ken's plans didn't change too drastically to accommodate to what the recommendation was. He was already indoors. A quick glance outside had indeed proved snow to be picking up but that didn't send worry to spike just yet. He knew where Leyla would be and shooting off a quick text telling her he was on the way to pick her up, Ken locked up after grabbing his coat and headed out. It normally wasn't a long drive to get from one neighbourhood to the other, and this wouldn't be a different case either even if he drove a little slower than usual, but spotting a familiar figure on a bench had Ken roll to a stop outside the Bao place, features twisted to a questionable expression when he found Jas slumped in the seat. "What the fuck are you doing?" he asked immediately after stepping out of his car, "Hang on...are you drunk?"

Option A: Outside of A Bao Time

"Imma gonna need a minute," Her words slurred slightly as she tucked her feet underneath her on the park bench outside of A Bao Time, yanking the black santa hat off of her head as she did. She had been giving ghost tours and bar crawls all day but, there was only so many times she could watch drunken knock-off santas beg the ghosts to possess them, before she wounded up getting sloshed herself. "Please?" She had ventured over this way in an attempt to get some food in her before she found herself passed out in some corner of Starlight Bar, only now, a few feet from the entrance, she was begging the person beside her to not move her for both of their sakes.

Option B: On Pitch Karaoke

The hum of eager chatter filled the air and Savannah could practically can smell the faint scent of cinnamon and pine wafting throughout the room as she stepped up to the mic with a confident sway. “Well, hey y’all! Welcome to On Pitch’s Holiday Sing-Off, where the best of the best are gonna go head-to-head for the ultimate title: Holiday Royalty. Y’all better buckle up, ‘cause this is gonna be a showdown of epic proportions! Now, ya better stomp your feet, throw on your sparkliest sweater and grab your eggnog, 'cause first up is our very own," She glanced over the card in her hand as she read out the name. "Bulldozer Bruce kickin' off the show with his very own rendition of 'I Saw Mamma Kissin' Santa Claus'. Take it away, Bruce," She flashed a dazzling smile as she passed off the mic and headed down from the stage back into the crowd.

"Well hey there! You ain't plannin' on sittin' down and missin' your turn, are ya?" She asked, fluttering her lashes over at the person beside her who she had seen enter On Pitch but had yet to sign up to sing themselves.

Noel rolled her eyes at Manny's comment. "What can I say?" It was cute though to see Jasmine and the dads agree on their boundaries. "I'm too beautiful to be modest, Jas. You can't hold that against me." As the dads feigned offense, they shook their head. "Both of them, I'm sure. They have their moments."

At Jas' words, Noel pouted, truly hating how the conversation was turning out to be. She loved when the focus was on her minus this topic, the whole wolf talk was better far, far away from her. "There's still so much to discuss, like where are we spending Christmas now that you're married. Big, serious stuff that we have yet to figure out."

She couldn't help but make a face. "Oh, do the ghosts talk about me? Can't believe they are obsessed with me too." Rolling her eyes in fake annoyance. "I'm vibing it so good durante la luna llena, pa." She replied to Manny in Spanglish. "I truly do not get your obsession with this, Jas. What more do you want me to do? Should I have weekly meetings with Nico so you're satisfied? I'm friendly with so many pack members. And Nico is great." Little by little, Noel felt actual annoyance take over her. Rubbing their face with their hands, she took a deep breath. It's not that serious, just let it go, she tried to reason with herself. Then there was the issue of what she could say to settle down their dads. She wasn't above lying, but Jas and Sammy could both read her minds, so there were some restrictions there.

"I just. My shifted side is a bit apprehensive to other people. That's all. It's not that serious. No hay porque preocuparse." That much was fine, right? Maybe she should fake a stomach ache and go home.

"Well, lucky you, but the rest of us don't exactly share so well," Jas noted as her gaze drifted between both of their dads. "What she said," Sammy let out a low whistle as he moved to massage Manuel's shoulders as if to reassure him that he was hardly going to stray anywhere.

"Nuestra hija siempre fue muy generosa en el patio de recreo," Manuel nodded from where he was sitting on the kitchen stool.

"And so modest too," Jas rolled her eyes lightly over. "Which one of you did she get that from exactly?" She posed, the corner of her lips curving up ever so slightly as she watched their parents feign offense.

"Yeah, and they've already met Nico and have all week to hang out with him, so there really isn't anything left to talk about, is there? But, now for the pack, are you? Because the ghosts whisper and that's not what I heard," She hummed under her breath, shooting Manny a knowing look.

"¿Qué? ¿Estás bien hija? Have you not been, how did you say it- vibing during the full moon?" Manuel's brows creased. Worry flooding his gaze at the idea that his child was struggling in the slightest.

"Not the mention, you're making me look bad. The alpha's your brother in law now. If you're not going to join, then I don't know, maybe you two could at least, go on a sibling-in-law outing or something? Bond and all that?"

[dvsconocvdo]

Noel raised her hands up in surrender and dramatically gasped at Jas' words. "Okay. Okay. I can give you that much. I just... don't get it. Like this should come to no surprise as I've shared partners and been in poly relationships, I'm not a jealous person. So it's kinda hard to like get it." Even after her failed relationships and being cheated on, Noel was very much not a jealous person. Still, the jealous act of Manny was endearing. "But to each their own."

"Yeah, you definitely weren't jealous, dad." She rolled her eyes before moving to give Manuel a hug. "I am always on the winning side, which is Noel's side. Thank you very much." This was a firm believe of her. Noel would side with her siblings unless she could come up on top first. Such was life, right? "Okay! Well. Now we are just airing out everyone's dirty laundry. But from my belief, our dads didn't come here because of me now did they? They came because you dropped some fun news?" She narrowed her eyes at Jas before adding, "Plus, if I don't wanna join, I don't gotta join. It's all good. We're all vibing." Noel was very much not vibing during the full moons, but those memories were deep, deep in their mind.

"What?" Jas exclaimed, rolling her eyes lightly over as Noel gasped her way. "Just because you're married, doesn't mean that you can't still be jealous," She pointed out. Luckily, she had nothing to worry about on that front herself. But, if god forbid, Nico did ever comment about anyone else, she'd probably be full on simmering in the background.

"See, mija? I'm allowed to be- hey, I'm not jealous," Manuel insisted. Only for Sammy to mouth over to Noel once more, "he totally is and he should be," which in turn prompted Manny to send Sammy a narrowed look. Sammy merely let out a low whistle and adverted his gaze. Though the love between the two was cringeworthy levels of obvious.

"Wha- now whose side are you on?" Jas gaped over at her sibling and at how quickly Noel's tune turned. Jutting her finger out at Noel, she said without missing a beat, "Noel still hasn't joined the pack. How about let's talk about that, shall we?"

[dvsconocvdo]

Noel's eyes were quite literally sparkling as Sammy spoke, but when Manuel interrupted the story, she pouted. "Not fun, dad! You already got him. He is married to you." She rolled her eyes and whispered to Sammy, "I'm dying to know." It was hard to not cringe at their father's words, but a bigger part of them just enjoyed how lovely they were, cringe and all. At Jas's words, Noel gasped. "Who's side are you on? Don't act like you weren't curious!"

Their dad's response, however, made Noel grin mischievously. "Now, now. As the unmarried person in the room, I believe I have the authority to say, we can focus on marital disputes from everyone here." She teased before nudging Jas slightly. "Come on. Spill the beans. Tell our dads what they wanna know." She knew that better than words, their dads would feel more at peace seeing Nico and Jasmine together. She knew it would all click for them once they saw the two lovebirds. It was hard to miss what a great match they were. And how bright Nico's eyes shone when he looked at Jas. Noel thought this loudly, so her dad could hear it well.

"Oh you should have seen hi-" Sammy started to gush only to catch Manuel's eyes narrowing over at him out of this corner of his eyes. Quickly clamping his lips shut before he managed to pivot to, "your father. I'm afraid I don't have eyes for anyone else but him."

"Nice save there," Manuel muttered under his breath, though his gaze shifted from a narrowed look to that of affection. While Sammy waited until his husband turned away, before he mouthed to Noel, 'I'll tell you later.'

"Oh no, leave me out of it. I'm not about to get involved in a martial dispute," Jas held her hands up in protest. Wincing as the words left her mouth, realizing as soon as she had set it that she set Manuel up perfectly for a-

"Outside of your own that is?"

A deep groan escaped from Jas' lips as she collapsed into a defeated heap at the end of the table. "On second thought, bring out the pictures of a young pizza Joe. Why the hell not?"
