Hello there! I’m your secret santa! I’m excited to create for you and I hope I make something you’ll enjoy. To sorta break the ice, I wanted to say hi and also ask you, a) is there anything that you’re really feeling recently and b) what is off-limits for you? I’m not planning on doing anything crazy or gross but I’d like to know if there’s anything you /don’t/ want to see.
Hope you’re well and to hear from you soon. :)
Hey there!! Aw this is so sweet, and I think I can safely say I’ll thoroughly enjoy whatever you come up with :D to answer your questions-- 
a) shipwise, I think Brad/Nate and Nate/Mike are occupying the most brain real estate at the moment, haha, but I’m passionate about having all the other guys be present regardless! In terms of themes/premises I’ve been feeling, I think generally anything set in the canon/post-canon timelines? Also lately I’ve been gravitating towards more gentle fic I think--not that I need absolutely zero angst but probably angst at a minimum
b) probably just nothing bordering on dubcon and no noncon; also this might sound strange but I’ve not been feeling high school/college AUs recently? But otherwise I don’t have a lot of hard nos within what most of GK fandom already produces normally!
Tbh mostly I also want this to be fun for you! I’m not sure if this makes it easier or harder for you, but ficwise I feel like I can give you a clearer idea if you let me know what stuff (ships, premises, tropes/AU ideas, etc) you had in mind that you might want to make, and then I can respond with how I feel about those? If you mean art or graphics/edits/anything else like that, then I wouldn’t mind being asked more specific questions about those too in terms of, idk what song lyrics I like that would go with the visuals or something! And if none of what I said was helpful please by all means ask me more specific questions haha! <33 Thank you again!

I asked for a friend of mine to watch GK a couple of weeks ago, and he told me something like "I don't know if Tsurumi is a manipulator bastard or just bissexual. Maybe both." Now i can't stop thinking about it. Do you have any opinions or if there's any possibility for Tsurumi be bissexual?
Hum...
I’m not sure about the connection betwen ‘manipulator bastard’ and ‘bisexual’.
Tsurumi is, without a doubt, a manipulator. He was a spy, then he was moved in the intelligence section of the army, being a manipulator is part of his job description and has nothing to do with his sexual orientation.
Now, Tsurumi had birth in 1866 by a highly exteemed family of former samurai that fallen into disgrace after the battle of Hokuetsu (1868), one of the battles of the Boshin War. This means Tsurumi’s family was on the losing side of the Boshin war (basically Hijikata’s side).
Why all this is relevant?
WARNING: for the sake of brevity I’ll be oversimplyfing things a lot so if you’re interested in this topic I’ll suggest you’ll research on it as I’m not the most qualified source.
Anyway...
Prior to the Meiji restoration among samurai families it was considered normal for samurai to marry (marriage was mandatory, really, part of filial duties as well as the production of offsprings) and to have both male and female lovers and people who didn’t show interest in both sexes were considered ‘odd’.
It’s actually very complicate , it didn’t work the same in all the social classes of Japan and, among samurai, male lovers were tied to the practice of the bidō better known in the west as wakashudō a male-male relationship between a samurai and his apprentice (who had to be below 25. When he turned 25, although the love could stay, the sexual intercourses had to stop).
Things change with the Meiji restoration as Japan decides to adopt the west mentality to better present itself in the eyes of the western powers.
From 1872 to 1873 Japan adopts the sodomy laws which technically punish anal sex with 90 days of penal servitute taking inspiration by the Qing Legal Codes (the Penal codes used back then in China).
Technically because practically a lot of people still engaged in it but only 20 cases in which this was punished are registered.
In 1880 though they decide to change things and take inspiration by the Napoleonic Code (the Penal codes used back then in France). As a result anal sex at large isn’t criminalized anymore but it’s only illegal and punishable when it involves coercion or minors were involved.
The idea is that the punishment will come by the disdain and loathing of the civil society as Japan will starts a campain to persuade people that male-male sex is abnormal.
But male-male relationships will continue being more or less openly practiced for many years, especially in student dormitories, where seniors would starts relationships with juniors.
So yeah, this includes also the Army Academy.
Long story short, considering Tsurumi’s background, he probably saw nothing wrong in Usami or Koito crushing on him or in having a relationship with them.
Said this, I’ve not the slightest idea if it happened, if Tsurumi liked them or if Tsurumi just acted indulgently and let them delude in their fantasies, humouring Usami until his last breath.
As a personal opinion I don’t think he loved Koito, and, at most, he might have had a fondness for Usami that pushed him to let him die in peace as he knew Usami from when Usami was really young.
At least, those are my two cents on this. Of course I might be wrong. We’ll see.

Uncharacteristic; Josh Ray Person
Fandom: HBO War; Generation Kill
A/N: I have, no joke, been trying to write this for almost a week. Anyway, I haven’t written any GK imagines, so I figured I’d try my hand at it. I guess I wasn’t in a romance mood so this is mostly platonic, but read it as you like.
Warnings: language
Taglist: @liebegott @hannahbear1
__________
The sun had set, but with the layers you were in, you were still sweating. You were only ever warm or uncomfortably hot. There was no in between here. As if that wasn't enough, you were growing more tired with each passing day.
Growing up, your family had always pointed out that they could tell when you had gotten little sleep. Your typically upbeat personality did a full 180, and you were to be avoided if people wanted their feelings spared. Into your adulthood, especially after becoming a Marine, you had worked on this. Of course, these days you ran on less sleep than ever, so it was a constant effort to keep up your smile and focus.
Ray was on Day Whatever of his nonstop chatter, and you had been holding out pretty well. Normally, Ray's bullshit monologues and theories would not fail to make you laugh—or at least, keep you entertained in the monotonous periods of your mission.
But you could feel yourself growing more irritable.
"So what I'm saying is..." His voice trailed off as he glanced at you. "Y/N, I don't think you've been listening. I can't believe you aren't taking in my genius. You know what? I'll just-"
"Do you ever shut up?" you huffed. "Have you tried doing that, ever?"
"Were you-" He looked genuinely confused. "Were you just mean to me?"
"Ray, right now, nothing would make me happier than your silence."
He turned to Brad with a look of disbelief plastered across his face. "Can you believe that? Y/N, the only person I can consistently count on for moral support was just mean to me."
"Maybe they've come to their senses," Brad suggested. "Congratulations, Y/N. You've finally become a sane human being.
Rolling your eyes, you just shifted yourself to face away from them.
The nice part of your brain was faintly whispering in the back of your mind. It reminded you that what you had said was unnecessary, but you were too deep into your sulking by now.
Ray was uncharacteristically quiet for the first few hours. Not totally silent, but he maintained a low tone and was only loud enough for whomever he was speaking to hear him.
That made you feel even worse.
You took brief naps over the course of the next couple of days—mostly just your eyes closing momentarily before your head hit the vehicle window, waking you up again. However, you were still brewing in your previous exchange with Ray. You felt bad, but you weren't sure how to fix it. A large part of you was hoping (and knew) that Ray would do something.
You were right.
It had been a couple awkward days of you keeping to yourself, unsure of how to approach him, and finally, Ray caught you alone.
“There was this kid on debate team with me in high school that wouldn’t talk for two whole weeks before a debate.” He glanced at you before continuing. “I’m dead serious. He thought that he would lose his voice during a debate if he didn’t let his voice rest, and that would make his argument less legit.”
You were confused, to say the least, but the smile that sneaked onto your face was one of relief. “Two weeks?”
He nodded vigorously. “Two full fucking weeks. Not a damn word out of the kid.”
“What did his friends think of that?”
“How the fuck would I know?” he shrugged. “They weren’t my friends.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Well, I can’t shut up for two weeks, but I’m tired of you being quiet. Can you please just be normal again?”
You cracked a goofy grin. “Aw, Ray, you said ‘please.’ You must have missed me.”
“Maybe you’re the one that needs to shut up,” he joked. “And yeah. Who do you think I’m trying to make laugh out here? Brad?”
“No, I thought you were going for Trombley.”
He blinked at you, not a smile to be seen. “That’s not funny.”
You got up, ready to rejoin everyone. “It’s absolutely funny.” Just to prove the point, you managed a little laugh.
His smile returned upon hearing it.
Suddenly the whole reason for this issue slapped you. “I’m sorry for snapping at you. It was really out of character for me. I’m just... I needed some fucking sleep.”
“‘Really out of character,’” he snorted. “You got that right, but it’s not the worst thing anyone’s said to me.”
“Yeah, but it’s the worst that I’ve said to you.”
“I can’t lie, Y/N,” he said, his voice lowering. “It really hurt my feelings coming from you.”
For a split second you felt awful before recognizing the teasing tone in his voice. “I’ll ignore you for two whole fucking weeks if you don’t stop.”
“You couldn’t ignore me if you tried.”
You furrowed you’re eyebrows, pretending to think. “Hmm... who was the one that missed talking to each other so bad they came up with some dumb story just to talk?” You gave him a pointed look. “Wasn’t me.”
“That story was absolutely true,” he insisted. “I can’t wait for Brad to be disappointed in you for liking me again.”
“You make it seem like I have a crush on you.”
He cocked an eyebrow. “Don’t you?”
Digging your elbow into his side, you shoved him. “You wish.”

Categorizing Precure by Hair Types (Cure ver.)
Why I subject myself to these weird little projects is an unending mystery. Something I’m sure I’ll never find the answer to.
Anyways, this version more or less follows the same reasoning as the civilian version does. But again, there are still some I’m not totally sure of. I mean, c’mon. It’s magical girl hair on top of anime hair, for god’s sake, so honestly, who can ever be sure? :P
More comments under the cut.
Note: This will be continually updated as new additions come along.
(mostly) Straight:
Tumblr media
* - Rouge, Chocolat
? - Berry, March, Cosmos
Wavy:
Tumblr media
* -  Blossom
? - Peach, Happy, Soleil
Curly:
Tumblr media
* - Sparkle
? - Ace
Other:
Tumblr media
Again, yes, magical girl hair is simply too abnormal to categorize them under regular conditions but it doesn’t mean I can’t try...oof, even if it’s highly debatable whether these can be called “hair” at all.
In any case, I’m basing most of my judgement on how much texture is shown. In other words, how close do their transformed hair actually resemble normal human hair and such.
(mostly) Straight - These I don’t think I need to explain much in general.
Rouge, Chocolat - Much like Rin and Mana in the civilian version, Rouge and Chocolat just had their hair flared (gelled, whatever) up during transformation. Well, Rouge was always like that but yea.
Berry - Since it’s up in a high sidetail, it’s hard to tell but Miki has straight hair. Here, however, Berry’s sidetail is quite twisted. Maybe she needs to be moved to the curly section after all.
March - It’s just crazy how it looks that I’m this close to relocating her to “Other”. What’s “Other”, you’re asking? Read below!
Cosmos - Her civilian form remains unsolved for me so I find it strange that I’m more sure about her Cure form instead. That is unless she takes the braids out (which will likely never happen) to show otherwise, I’m pretty certain it’s straight.
Wavy - I believe it’s fair to say they carry a lot of their physical traits and qualities from their civilian forms into their Cure forms unless the difference is noticeable enough.
For example, Inori’s hair can be either straight or wavy (or both) but in Cure form, Pine’s is obviously wavy.
Blossom - With the exception of Moonlight, the Heartcatch girls seem to be edging out to inhuman territory in the hair area but I chalk this up to character design more than anything. Now for Blossom, Tsubomi’s classified as wavy in the civilian version. Blossom’s ponytail suggests it’s mostly straight with waves closer to the ends. But that’s only because it’s up. If you watched the movie where her hair falls completely down, Blossom doesn’t look at all different from how Tsubomi normally is.
Peach - Ever since I saw this GK set which shows Peach’s twintails in very intricate curls as opposed to just a mass of waves, I’m always questioning if what I’m seeing with my own eyes is really what it’s meant be.
Happy - Another ludicrous style. Should she be moved to “Other” or not?
Soleil - Curiously enough, Soleil’s hair looks a little too straight to be curly? When in civilian form, Elena has more waves in hers.
Curly - Not much to comment. The curls speak for themselves.
Sparkle - Her twintails are poofy but during the transformation sequence, you can see how her straight hair gets twisted into curls.
Ace - Well, yes, as unbelievably enormous as they may be, those are curls alright. But because the overall thing is so improbable, I’m tempted to put her in the “Other” section as well.
Other - A special section for these girls because there’s no way I can see their hair as actual hair, ok?
I mean, call it whatever you want but that’s just out of the realm of ridiculous. When I first saw the DokiPre transformations, I was convinced twisting balloons shot out of their heads!
And Mermaid can’t belong anywhere but here because her hair is literally a giant blob of water.
Whip’s is just...I don’t even want to get into that. (@_@ ;; )

Do you think Vlatko will keep Long? She’s pretty useless on the NT. Also do you think he will put Dunn up at forward or midfield and seek natural defenders? And yes! 3rd string has to go. Bledsoe and Murphy are 100x better but I see Naeher and AD going to Tokyo unless he wants Murphy and Naeher.
I mean I think long will likely stay in the nt pool overall but not for the olympics. i think he needs to have a conversation with himself about horan too. carli’s last cycle is coming. it’s hard to say with hybrid players like ko and dunn, he’ll probably keep her defensively for now. the nt doesn’t lack forward capability, but a new take on that capability would be nice. dunn herself has even said she’ll feel a sense of relief if she got moved back up and out of left back. idk how much he’ll experiment, as he doesn’t tend to experiment with club rosters too much once he knows his talent, but when you’re in control of such a large nt pool i’m not sure how you couldn’t. but I think he’ll def bring in rookies and nwsl players who have been looked over before. he found a lot of new talent - and useful talent who stuck around and carried the season for the reign - mostly bc of all the injuries we had - but was able to bring in a successful rotating group of almost triple the amount of normal roster players this year. and he found balcer - way under the radar and on no division teams - and look how she’s flourished. interesting who else he will scout and invite - players that would never be found unless they played for top ncaa teams otherwise. it just reminds me of what hope and others have said about the importance of grassroots youth talent and how ussf is notorious for being saturated with only elite top division or wealthy soccer communities. 
im also hoping the overall style of play of the nt shifts a little. it can be so stagnant and boring sometimes. but im not holding my breath. the fed will always want results and wins over style or substance, like thats been pretty clear over the years. on that note, it makes sense for harvs not to be named the next coach (by personal choice or not) bc, while she can obviously produce results, overall her mentality is geared more towards chemistry and the brand of football being played, always over the immediate results. but both vlakto and harvs are guilty of continuing to play certain players who need to be benched once in awhile or shifted on the field (taylor for reign currently and mathias for past tense reign under harvs). we’ve had to watch two seasons now of vlatko continuing to start taylor over others while she’s more often than not held the offense back rather than contributed to it. defense and gk wise I think he will bring in new talent and test them. i mean the nt is pretty solid in all levels right now if you really step back and look at it, but natural defenders to build around your centerback foundation is always nice. I miss the days of a solid centerback pairing in broon and cap. master and apprentice. and while the nt defense has managed to get by the years with jello’s relentless experimenting, its obvious that is the first line you want to solidify. it needs to happen again. im not really sure why the nt gk coaches all these years have been so adamant in keeping mediocre backup talent like ashlyn but hopefully vlatko sharpens that blade. some players just do not translate talent over to the nt from club and thats just the way it is. move on and get better. its been necessary long term for awhile now. over the next few years and after the olympics players are going to retire and be phased out. and another cycle of nt growth begins. I’m just hoping the mentality and culture of the team grows with the departure of jello and some older players too.

Roleplay Server Log #390
"Mirabellla Hunting, Grinny's Dinner, Dino in Town, Hide and Seek, Visitation”
[Mirabella] Wanders near the shore, following the faintest trail of loneliness, she normally wouldn't have gone this far from her children, but she was in need of food-
[Mb] is sulking quietly on the shore, and doesn't hear her approach. Celine is nowhere around and he throws a cobble into the water with a plunk.
[Mirabella] Stiffens at the sound and looks around nervously-
[Mb] Let's out the faintest little huff of air, the bit of loneliness is coming from him and it hangs over his demeanor like a small dark cloud.
[Mirabella] Moves a bit closer, drawing the emotion towards her to feed, but she won't get to close. To be fair she's also never really had to hunt for food like this before either
[Mb] Is just wallowing in the emotion since he thinks he's alone.
[Mirabella] She's silent but does gasp as she feels a burst of power from Splender who is in the village-
[Mb] Shoots up and looks around, then up and up. He floats up off the ground and hovers near what would be her eye level. - Humph. I'd offer to fight you, but I hear you people just use sneaky disortion blasts.
[Mirabella] - I...  I didn't mean...
[Mb] What? I like to fight. But getting zapped in the first few seconds isn't any fun.
[Mirabella] Backs off alittle, MB's loneliness having disapated since he noticed her presence-
[Mb] What's wrong with you? You look like you could swat me.
[Mirabella] - I...  I should be going- She quickly turns around
[Mb] Flies in front of her and settles on the ground again- Surely you ain't scared of me?
[Mirabella] - Ah...- Shrinks back a little
[Mb] Why are you sneaking around anyway... From what I've heard you're welcomed here.
[Mirabella] - I...  I was simply...  Looking for food...- Her voice gets quieter as she speaks
[Mb] Food? Just raid someones garden. Or fuck, ask anyone in the castle. Half the server can copy shit and just hand it out like candy.
[Mirabella] - That...  Is not what we feed off of...
[Mb] Oh you're a demon thing right? Is it something weird?
[Mirabella] - Ah, well...  I feed on...  Loneliness...
[Mb] Goes quiet - And you found my ass... - he looks at his feet- Well fuck... I guess that's the way it fucking goes. When the kiddo is of playing... aw who am I kidding...? You don't care. Why should anyone give a shit anyway....
[Mirabella] - You have...  A child?
[Mb] Shifts uncomfortably - She's a tween... A bitty dragon. But smart as a little human.
[Mirabella] - I see...  If you don't mind, I should be returning to my children...
[Mb] Hmmph. - He suddenly perks and looks up at the sound of wingbeats.
[Celine] Dives out of the sky and bowls him over in a big hug, wrapping him in her wings and rolling over and over in the sand- Master!
[Mirabella] Takes a quick step back out of fear-
[Celine] Stops rolling and licks Mb's face playfully- I missed you!
[Mb] Is licked- Cut it out Celine!
[Mirabella] Knows there's no chance of feeding now-
[Celine] Leans on her front claws- Hello! You're pretty. How come you don't have a face? That's a little spooky.
[Mirabella] - I...  I'm a slenderbeing...
[Celine] Oh like Splendy? He's so nice!
[Mirabella] - Yes, he is one of my sons
[Celine] You're his mom? Whoah. Hey... wanna see something neat? - She fumbles in her inventory a little and pulls out a beautiful flower bloom. - Lie gave me a flower. Have you met her baby yet?
[Mb] Ho boy....
[Mirabella] - No I have not, my kind give off an energy which might harm so small of a child
[Celine] Oh... well she's really cute!  
[Mb] Is obviously resigned to just letting the little dragon chatter happily.
[Mirabella] - I see, well, I must be going
[Celine] Okay. It was nice to meet you Slendermom!
[Mb] Mouths while thumbing at the dragon 'Celine'
[Mirabella] - A pleasure to meet you too, Celine
[Celine] Huge grin and some happy tail thumping that sends up a decent sized cloud of sand under the spiked block on her tail.
[Mirabella] Walks away-
[Alexsezia] Is outside fishing with a slight frown-
[Grinny] Is pacing on the bed inside, he's hungry and irritated-
[Alexsezia] Pulls up a clownfish and scowls at it, before throwing the line back in the water.
-The other cats are avoiding Grinny because of his bad humor.
[Grinny] Finally slinks out into the main room and jumps into a window to glower at Alexsezia-
[Aqua] Is rolling about in the waves-
[Alexsezia] Pulls up a regular fish and tosses it over her shoulder-
-several cats in the yard scramble to rip it to bits playfully-
[Grinny] Yowls-
[Alexsezia] Looks back worriedly- I'm trying!
[Grinny] Scratches at the glass-
[Aqua] Chases a sea dragon towards Alexsezia-
[Alexsezia] Gets soaked as the dragon splashes towards shore trying to get away- Dammit!
-Glass schreeching noises-
[Aqua] Trills-
[Alexsezia] Wringing out her hair. She sits firmly back down and tosses the line in the water again-
[Grinny] Pops the glass and a flood of cats comes out the hole pushing Grinny along with them-
[Alexsezia] Gods dammit.... - she's suddenly surrounded by cats.
[Grinny] Growls as he gets closer- Food.  Where is it?
[Alexsezia] I'm working on it. - she gestures towards the pole - I have plenty of chase but no lobsters left.
[Grinny] Swats at another cat- Then hurry up!
[Alexsezia] Gets a tug and pulls up another regular fish. She tosses it backwards and the other cats tear it apart too. - I can't hurry. Jerking the line around just scares the prey away.
[Grinny] Growls and jumps off of Alexsezia's back-
[Alexsezia] Yelps in pain and drops the pole- Why??? You're a cat! You know you have to be patient to catch food!
[Grinny] - No I don't, you humans are supposed to provide it
[Alexsezia] Picks up the pole again - Well I have regular fish, chicken and beef. Pretty sure you won't eat that though.
[Aqua] Swims up near the shore-
[Grinny] Irritated tail flicks-
-There's bit of a ripple as a very big shape swims up alongside Aqua-
[Alexsezia] Peers suspiciously-
[Aqua] Noses the hook of the pole, looking for treats-
[Alexsezia] NO! Don't mess with that!
[Herabrine] Bumps Aqua from below so Alexsezia can pull the pole back-
[Aqua] Is surprised and splashes-
[Grinny] Hisses as he gets wet-
[Herabrine] Churgling at Aqua - The gist seems to be fish for watch out for hooks!
[Alexsezia] Pats Grinny with a carpet square-
[Grinny] Attacks Alexsezia's hands-
[Aqua] Loops around Hera-
[Alexsezia] Tosses the fiber square on top of him instead- You're being an ass!
[Herabrine] Is suprised and pops up in the middle of his coils like a slippery piece of soap-
[Aqua] Nudges Hera-
[Grinny] Angry cat is angry-
[Herabrine] Shifts and hovers over the water- You be careful!
[Alexsezia] Huffs at Grinny in annoyance and dips her scratched up hands in the cold water- Hera!
[Aqua] CIrcles Hera from below-
[Herabrine] Hmm? What?
[Alexsezia] Any chance you could scare up some lobsters for me?
[Herabrine] Looks down into the water- Maybe?
[Grinny] Yowls-
[Alexsezia] Someone's being picky...
[Herabrine] Ah, got it. - She dives straight down into the water with a hard splash.
[Aqua] Chases after Hera-
[Herabrine] Skims around the bottom and forces a small wave with several lobsters crashing up on the shore-
-Other cats scatter and leap away from the water and little snippers-
[Grinny] Focuses on the lobsters before attacking them-
[Alexsezia] Well let me boil them first! They're kinda pinchy!
-Crunch-
[Herabrine] Smiles- Gross. I don't think he minds.
[Alexsezia] Walks around and puts the other lobsters in a bucket- Sheesh...
[Grinny] Tearing the lobster apart-
[Aqua] Squirts Hera-
[Herabrine] Hey! - She lifts up a skinny tentacle of water and squirts Aqua back-
[Aqua] PLayful noises-
-Lots of splashing back and forth-
[Alexsezia] Regards the destroyed lobster- Did it taste good at least?
-A bit of lobster goes flying through the air-
[Alexsezia] You're a mess.
-Even some of the other cats have stopped to watch Grinny savage the crustaceon.
[Grinny] - Give me another
[Alexsezia] I'm going to cook it first. That can't be good for you. At the least I don't want you to barf everywhere.
[Grinny] - Little late for that don't you think?
[Aqua] Squirts Alexsezia-
[Alexsezia] Darn it! I was just getting dry. -She hustles inside to boil the lobster-
[Herabrine] Regards the cat- Little griefer.
[Grinny] Starts following and then it dawns on him, he's outside, he can cause even more chaos-
[Alexsezia] Is mixing up the cooked lobster with chase and other goodies, it's making a rather enticing smell from inside the open door -
[Grinny] Wavers with indecision-
[Herabrine] Is still playing with Aqua but shoots Grinny a look - I've seen that face before. Gk makes it when Sweet Alex starts baking treats. He wants to go run and annoy people, but the temptation is too strong.
[Grinny] - Oh shut up you bitch
[Herabrine] Better a bitch then a pussy. - She sticks her tongue out at the cat and changes back into her Guardian shape before plunking back down into the water-
[Grinny] Would attack her if she wasn't underwater-
[Alexsezia] Has finished the plate of food and walks by the door to put it in it's usual spot. She calls from inside - Grinny? Dinner?
[Grinny] Gives in and heads inside, but uses the still broken window to get in-
[Alexsezia] Backs off so he can eat and goes to fix the window.
[Eliza] Is sitting in the shade of Lies giant tree weaving her silk into a large piece of fabric-
[Chester] Staggers by in her range of sight. He's smiling and obviously a little dizzy.
[Eliza] Frowns a little- Chester?  Is everything alright?
[Chester] Smiles rather stupidly and hicupps- Eliza! You're so pretty.
[Eliza] - Oh dear, did you...  Did you have alcohol?
[Chester] Nods a little too fast- Yep! Sammmmmm gave me a drink.
[Eliza] - How much?
[Chester] Moves his hands around in a noncommital way and then just gives up- More then one?
[Eliza] - I see, well enjoy the feeling for now, you may regret it later
[Chester] I mostly feel dizzy...
[Eliza] - Then come rest by me
[Chester] But I think I'd rather dance! Everything seems to be moving anyway. - He does a few steps to one side and then the other, kind of stumbling but still relatively graceful. It's like he saw a bird doing a mating dance and is trying to drunkenly imitate it.
[Eliza] Sighs and fires a bit of her silk to draw Chester closer to herself- YOu're going to hurt yourself...
[Chester] OH NO! I'm caught! - He makes a show of ineffectively scrabbling-
[Eliza] Simply shakes her head and parks Chester down next to her before returning her attention to the fabric she's weaving-
[Chester] Nuuuuuuuu. - He's dramatically flopped.
[Eliza] - You're fine, just rest, it's a pleasant day and there isn't much to do
[Chester] Flips upside down with his spider legs in the air and his arms flat and wide. His human fingers brush what she's working on- this is sooooft.
[Eliza] - Thank you, I'm hoping to replace ENdrea's clothes with this cloth
[Chester] Just making her something nicer or did her stuff get wrecked?
[Eliza] - Well, one of my jobs has always been to provide clothes for the generals when in their human forms.  It has been some time since I replaced hers
[Chester] Awww... that's nice. - He takes out a bit of yarn and plays it around his fingers until it's a slightly lopsided cats cradle.
[Eliza] - Careful to not get yourself stuck
[Chester] Wiggles his fingers until he has a sort of rope with a loop around each thumb. - Hmmm....
[Eliza] - Are you okay?- She reaches for a nearby chest which is full of dyes
[Chester] I'm good! No problems here! - He wiggles around and now the braid is around one wrist like a friendship bracelet - Um...
[Eliza] Begins applying the dye to the fabric, turning it a lovely shade of royal purple-
[Chester] Ohhhh , can you make it a second color too? Fade-y like? Steve taught me a word... ombre!
[Eliza] - Yes, I can, but that is not my plan for this piece
[Chester] Is very focused on her face and it's obvious he's just lost in watching her work and talk to him- what's it gonna be?
[Eliza] - A new dress, and then I will also need to make her a cloak.  I know water does not effect her much in her human form, but it does rain here often, and I want to make certain she's happy
[Chester] Can you make it waterproof??? That's neat!
[Eliza] - Well yes, our silk does repel water
[Chester] Twiddles his feet - I feel silly... you should let your hair down.
[Eliza] Laughs a little- Not right now, I need it out of my way while I work, perhaps later
[Chester] Twiddles his feet at her some more- But I want to play with it. Your hair is lovely.
[Eliza] - Chester...  I have to concentrate
[Chester] Scoots over closer and hugs her thorax with his feet, she's warm and fuzzy- Okay... I'll be as quiet as a silverfish.
[Eliza] - You do realize that they are not usually quiet, correct?
[Chester] Tries to make a silverfish noise and just suceeds in spitting a little on the tiles under them-
[Eliza] Smiles at him and continues to work, she's long since used to young spiders crawling all over her to learn how to work their own silk by watching her-
[Chester] Snuggles up close, his eyelids look a bit droopy and his glasses slip down his nose a bit-
[Eliza] Reaches over and takes his glasses off for him, setting them atop the chest next to her-
[Chester] Soft snores into her shirt hem-
[Eliza] Continues her work, eventually covering Chester with her finished fabric for the time being-
[Chester] Snuggles up and mumbles into the fabric- I love you Eliza....
-There's quite a bit of psychic disturbance and some screams coming from the village-
[Lie] Flinches as she feels it and glances at her husband who sighs and starts pulling his clothes back on to go investigate-
[Steve] Has Aether and is outside the wall. Which now has a big hole in it-
[CP] Lands near him having just flown over- The fuck is going on and why do you have my daughter?
[Steve] TLOT's in damage control mode. He sent me out so Aether would be safe.
[CP] - What happened?
-more screams-
[Steve] I... uh...
[CP] Long exasperated noise and heads into the village-
-Lots of kids and Testificates running-
[Jaam] Come running forward with a cake in one hand-
-A large head full of teeth emerges from behind a building. The Testificate is knocked down and screams as the Fruitcake patterned t-rex steals the dessert from his hands -
[CP] - Are you fucking serious?
[Yaunfen] In their dragon shape, but trying not to step on anyone- Bad Fru!
[TLOT] Is trying to do his weight trick but the animal is moving too fast to be easily caught-
[CP] Just goes for a nut shot on Fru-
[Fru] Licks the screaming Testificate and then makes a BLA! face before standing up again. The shot glances off one leg- mrr?
[CP] - Fuck off!
[Yaunfen] Keeps trying to corral Fru with their long body, but the dinosaur just steps over them-
[TLOT] Just help me get him out of the village!
[CP] - Fine!- He spawns some rope and manages to snag Fru-
[Fru] Just tugs it hard and the lead breaks-
[Yaunfen] Tries shoving them with their blunt horns-
[CP] - You know...  I could still be fucking my wife you know!
[TLOT] Shouts back- It's not like I decided to ruin your day on purpose!
[Yaunfen] Sorry Big Fire!!!!
[Fru] Sticks head in the window of the gay bar and shatters it-
[Yaunfen] Fuck!
[CP] - Oh for fucks sake...  Can we just not? [Ding Ding] Goes barrelling past mooing-
[Fru] Stomps over to Cp and licks him, looking for more sugar-
[CP] Punches Fru-
[Fru] Is punched. It kinda sounds like someone hitting a bag of coathangers and has the same relative effect. The dinosaur roars at Cp and basically covers him in somewhat sticky spittle.
[Yaunfen] Is trying to pull the dino by the tail and having no luck-
[TLOT] Is just trying to keep his villagers out of harms way now-
[CP] Sets himself on fire-
[Fru] Curious noise, and then just walks past Cp to stick their nose into the flower shop-
[CP] - TLOT...  Deal with the fucking dino
[TLOT] WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO DO??? PEOPLE COME FIRST.
[Yaunfen] Does a bull run at Fru and knocks them sideways towards the hole in the wall-
[Fru] Scrabbling to get up-
[CP] Panics, knowing his daughter is in that direction and bolts towards her-
[Steve] Is farther down the path and ready to bolt for Markus's house if the rex comes towards him-
[CP] Relaxes a little seeing his daughter is nowhere near harms way-
[Fru] Stumbles around a bit and nearly steps on one of the skeleton riders trying to get out of their way-
[CP] Flies up and launches himself at Fru's back to knock them out of the village-
[Fru] Is shoved forward and stumbles back out onto the path toward's Lie's house-
[Steve] Makes a dead run for Markus's house-
[Notch] Pokes his head outside- What the hell is going on? HOLY SHIT. IS THAT A FRUITCAKE MONSTER????
[Lie] Threw on one of CP's spare shirts- [Aether] Starts crying-
[Yaunfen] Runs out after them- Fru heel!
[Steve] No! Don't cry Aether!
[TLOT] Stomps out of the village and transforms in a billow of bedrock fog. A vast enderdragon emerges from the cloud and roars a challenge at the dinosaur-
[Fru] Mrrr???!!
[Yaunfen] Don't hurt him please!
[TLOT] Charges the dino and grabs it in his paws before headbutting them rather violently-
[Lie] Teleports to her child-
[CP] Moves to place himself between his family and the dinosaur-
[TLOT] Wrestles with Fru and gets them in a headlock-
[Steve] Sorry Lie, she got scared!
[Notch] Runs out to help-
[Fru] -Huge roar-
[Lie] - That's not surprising!- She takes her baby and cradles her, trying to calm her
[Yaunfen] Dancing around unhappily, not sure what to do.
[Notch] Tries his Fus on Fru, yelling at the top of his lungs-
[TLOT] Freezes in place and then thrashes sideways because it hurt his ears too-
[Lie] Looks around for a clear spot and spawns a bunch of her purple flowers which smell like chocolate away from the group-
[Fru] Excited sniffing!
[Mix, in chat] What is all that racket??!!
[Notch] Sorry TLOT...
[TLOT] Clutching his head with his paws.
[Yaunfen] chat- Fru's being bad!
[Fru] Goes for the flowers and chomps them up before spitting them back out in irritation- RRRRRAAAAAA!
[Mix] Pick Fru up like I showed you???
[Yaunfen] chat- Too big!
[Mix] Did Fru grow????
[Yaunfen] YES.
[Mix] OH OKAY. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS, I'LL  BRING HELP
[Yaunfen] By the village!
[Mix] Okay I'm coming, keep Fru busy!
[TLOT] Shakes off the headache and pounces on Fru, the two roll into the pen of honesty blossoms and crush the fence.
[Chain chomp] Gets loose and flees towards Cp with a lot of unhappy barking-
[Blake] Has heard the commotion and is also barking wildly-
[Yaunfen] Okay....
[CP] Goes to check on Lie- Take Aether inside, it's safer
[Lie] - I know, just, help TLOT deal with this.  Are you coming with me Steve?
[Steve] Yes please. I don't think I can be much help here since we're not actually trying to kill it.
[Lie] - Notch?
[TLOT] Gets kicked and swats Fru across the nose-
[Notch] I'm coming.
[Lie] Leads them inside, shushing Aether while CP turns his attention back towards Fru-
[TLOT] Swats at the dino with his wings, he's trying to knock them out-
[Yaunfen] very upset-
[Mix and MA]  - Come running,  MA has his staff out. -
[TLOT] Bites at Fru. They're just trading blows like boxers now-
[Mix] Hi TLOT! -Pulling some of her rock candy blocks out, knowing Fru likes them- Let Fru come here, please?
[TLOT] Backs off with a huff, still growling-
[Fru] Sniff... sniff... SNUFFLE!
[Yaunfen] That smells good....
[Fru] Advances on Mix with open jaws and overly sweet breath.-
[Mix] - a bit shaky but standing tall and holding the rock candy to Fru- Hey buddy....
[MA] - Standing beside Mix with his staff out incase Fru doesn't stop. -
[Fru] Grabs the whole block and slobbers on Mix in the process- NOM
[Yaunfen] Sneaks over - can I have one?
[Mix] Yeah, you like those right? - Pats Fru's chin with her hand and starts stepping back, popping another block into her hand. This one's green, still very sweet- If you want, Yaunfen. Where do you want Fru? Because I can tell not here.
[Yaunfen] Takes the block and licks it- I don't know... they broke out of their pen.
[TLOT] Angry dragon loaf- Somewhere not my village.
[Yaunfen] Big Fire could build something. Mada says they like big builds. No lie.
[Mix] -gets another block out to lure Fru with - You'll need somewhere really big. Fru is still gonna get bigger.
[MA] I'd say it has... Two? More growth spurts? Unless it was a runt then maybe three? - scrunching face in thought-
[CP] - We could put it in the cage, just tnt a path to it
[TLOT] roars - Fuck no! My whole world is in there!
[CP] - But I really don't feel like building, besides you can probably build a pen faster
[TLOT] Growls-
[Yaunfen] But you're so good at it! Mada said your office alone was huge!
[CP] - Yeah, but I'm tired...
[Yaunfen] Tiny sad whine-
[CP] - Besides, it just needs stronger walls most likely
[Fru] Lots of slurping like it's eating a giant jawbreaker-
[Blake] Barks at Fru-
[Chain Chomp] Sits on Cp's foot.
[CP] - How about this, as soon as you actuallt figure out what sort of walls it needs, then you can come talk to me
[Mix] For walls... I think it's iron? Is that what was in the King's place? - looks at MA questioningly-
[MA] Yeah it was iron to keep him in there.
[TLOT] Annoyed tail lashing- what about the desert? There's a clear spot beyond the gym. Before you reach mix's area
[Yaunfen] Iron...? That's so... Ugly and cold...
[Mix] Ah yes i can see Fru every morning. I can feed Fru if you want.
[MA] I know. We usually covered it with stone in a pattern.
[Mix] Hmmm... But it might need to be iron from your seed Yaunfen...
[CP] - It would have to be from TLOT's, anything that comes from Yaunfen's seed Fru can eat. Besides, the mod originates from TLOT's seed
[Mix] But the variant is candy based. Mmm. Maybe we should get both...
[CP] - Mix up the ingots? I don't know if that will work.
[Mix] Maybe use half and  half blocks? Use some of both in each wall and see what lasts?
[CP] - We could try, but what do we do with Fru in the meantime?
[Mix] Fru should be content for now, just find somewhere open and keep some sugar stuff to keep them busy.
[TLOT] You could do a checkerboard pattern with both types. - he's calming down but still annoyed. There are a few Testificates that have crept up behind him and are peeking at Fru from behind his massive wings.
[Fru] Happy cooing noise and the sound of them sucking on the very hard candy.
[Yaunfen] holding a block in one paw and licking it occasionally- I just don't want them to be sad...
[TLOT] At Cp. - We're all painfully aware that you want to fuck your wife, Cp, but that doesn't make the things that need to be done go away.
[CP] Groans and sets himself on fire-
[Fru] Wanders over to the greenhouse and sniffs around the roof-
[TLOT] Simmer down hot stuff
-assorted Testificate gasps- [Basquet] Shouldnt we have put him out?
[CP] - Hold on a sec- He goes off in the direction of the bay
[TLOT] He's fine
[CP] Returns and throws somebody down. It's Stevie, and he takes maybe half a heart of damage from the fall-
[Stevie] - Why!?
[Notch] From the window- don't throw your brother around!
[CP] - Oh shut up!
[Stevie] - So what's my brother trying to push off on me now?
[Yaunfen] Hi Stevie!
-Friendly Testificate waves-
[CP] - You'd just be doing something you're good at
[TLOT] Toothy grin- it's one of the things Steves are best at...
[Yaunfen] blowjobs?
[TLOT] shush.
[Stevie] Turns bright red- What!? No! Yaunfen, I don't do that!
[Mix] Find things they shouldn't?
[MA, under breath] You definitely did a lot of that...
[CP] - You need to go digging
[Stevie] Very suspiciously- For what and where?
[Mix] Iron.
[Fru] Notices Stevie and stomps over to sniff him. Still drooling around their huge teeth.
[Stevie] Ice spikes in defense-
[Mix] Hey!! Don't do that. Fru's just smelling.
[Stevie] - It's terrifyingly huge!
[Mix] And? Half the things i grew up near could have killed me by stepping on me. Fru is friendly for now, if hungry and curious.
[Stevie] - Yeah well I didn't grow up with that stuff!
[Mix] ...Mmm... fair, I guess.
[CP] - Just go to TLOT's seed
[Stevie] Looking at TLOT- Is my brother somehow going to be tormented during this?
[TLOT] Well considering that you can't fly, he'll likely get stuck assembling the raw materials you find.
[Fru] Dodged back from the ice spike but then curiously bites one off. They immediately spit it back out though, as it is not actually a Popsicle  with any flavor.
[CP] - I'm not helping you dig if that's what you're getting at
[Stevie] - Where's Lie?
[CP] - Why?
[Stevie] - So I can get her to tell you to go with me
[Yaunfen] She's in the house with Aether.
[Stevie] Bolts for the house-
[CP] - Get back here!- Chases after him
[Yaunfen] go Stevie! Go!
[Stevie] Scrambles into the workroom but is tackled by his brother-
[Lie] Is sitting near the lava with Steve and Notch. She's feeding Aether who is still a little fussy but covered by a blanket as she suckles-
[Steve] Points at Lies boob- I always wondered what those were actually for.
[Notch] -Sighs- Please do not flatten your brother either.
[Lie] - The same thing as all female mammals?  Producing milk?
[CP] - Oh shut up
[Stevie] Is trying to escape his brother-
[Steve] Yeah, but you don't have grab cows and suck on them. You just use a bucket?
[Notch] Do I have to seperate you two?
[Lie] - Steve?  Calfs drink like this from the moms
[Stevie] - He's trying to send me somewhere!
[CP] - Oh it's perfectly safe!
[Steve] I've never been much for keeping cows... chickens are easier.
[Notch] Wait, send you where?
[Aether] Finishes and fusses-
[Lie] - Oh alright, just hang on and I'll burp you
[CP] Is clamping a hand over Stevie's mouth to prevent him from saying more- It's nowhere too dangerous!
[Notch] Just let him talk.
[Steve] Oh! TLOT says he'll go with anyway.
[Lie] - CP, let Stevie go- She covers herself and puts Aether against her chest, lightly bumping the babies back to make her burp [CP] Grumbles but does back off- [Stevie] - They want me to dig up iron on TLOT's seed?
[Steve] It's not a big deal. It's not much more dangerous then here.
[Stevie] - I filled that one city with snow...  And last time we went there were giant things that could kill us
[Steve] No one minded. A lot of them had never seen it before. And that was that one chunk, that's not normal.
[Stevie] - Still...  That's why I'd prefer brother come too, so I can concentrate on digging and he gets the fighting out of his system
[Notch] Sounds fair to me.
[Steve] Smiles - Come on Stevie. I thought you liked mining with me?
[Stevie] Thumbs at his brother- Yeah but if he's making me do this then he should participate too
[Aether] Burps and spits up a little-
[Steve] Well yeah, we can both bring our brines! It's safer that way.
[Notch] Helps her blot the baby-
[Aether] Burbles and reaches a hand out towards Notch-
[Lie] - Aww, do you want Farfar?  And CP?  You should go, a bit of murdering things would probably be good for you...
[Notch] She wants me to hold her? -He looks touched.
[Steve] Thumbs at Lie - there you go, you even got permission.
[CP] Aggravated noises-
[Lie] Holds Aether out to Notch- You'll be fine CP, Aether and I will be here when you get back
[Notch] Takes the baby and coos at her.
[Steve] Come on Stevie, it'll be fun!
[Stevie] - Fine
[CP] Is grumbling-
[Aether] Happy noises!
[Notch] Very happy-
[Steve] Yes! Oh! Cp, you should bring your black tools, I never see you use them.
[CP] - How about no
[Steve] aw man...
[Stevie] - Actually, the last time I genuinely saw him use them was...  Damn, how long ago was that? [CP] - After Aurum's passing
[Steve] Stevie... you know Aurum is still around right? I just saw him this morning. Actually, seeing Aether put him in a really jovial mood.
[CP] - You mean that old fucker knows about her now too!?
[Stevie] - I...  Never met him before...
[Steve] Well yeah... we were in the forge. We figured the heat would keep Aether happy. And if you want to meet him, go ask Tungsten or Drillby in the village.
[Notch] Someone got warm and sleepy like a little kitten, yes she did!
[Stevie] - Okay?- He doesn't understand Aurum's significance
[CP] - So are we going to fucking go or what?
[Lie] - That...  Actually raises a good point Notch...
[Steve] He's the guy. The one that made Cp's obsidian stuff. He's a super old Testificate. I mean old, like even for a dead guy.
[Stevie] - Okay then.  Surprising that brother ever actually befriended one...
[Steve] He's funny, kind of an old perv too.
[CP] - Why don't you both shut up [Aether] Plays with the front of Notch's shirt a little-
[Steve] You should have seen his face when he found out Cp had a wife...
[TLOT] Can be heard giggling outside because he's listening.
[CP] - I said shut up!
[Lie] Goes over to CP and gently pulls CP into a kiss- Calm down, once your done with this we can have a nice meal and cuddle
[Steve] Awww.
[Yaunfen] Is keeping Fru entertained outside and the two run past-
[CP] - Fine, lets go get the stuff for the god damn fucking cage
[Steve] That's the spirit!
[Sally] Is playing hide and seek with Splender and Slender and she's run over by Lies place to find a hiding spot-
[Francis] Makes the smallest grunt of suprise as Sally runs into his legs at full force- rrrk?
[Sally] Oof!- She looks up- Oh hi big piggy!
[Francis] isn't sure if she'll understand so he keeps a friendly tone- you're a bit small to be running around alone. Do you need help?
[Sally] Doesn't understand- Can you help me find a hiding spot?  I'm playing with Papa and Uncle Splendy!
[Francis] I see... Okay. - he decides to lead her to the bathhouse and shows her a spot behind a trunk near the door - Moth is swimming in one of the pools and gives him a curious look. - just keep the little one away from the lava.
[Moth] Understood.
[Sally] Giggles and ducks down behind the trunk- Thank you!
[Moth] Watches her curiously for a little bit and climbs out of the water. She turns away to shake off and slips on a robe before walking over- I hope you haven't chosen a hiding spot that's too good. We wouldn't want your guardians to be upset...
[Sally] Looks up- Sorry, I don't know what you're saying...
[Moth] Just sighs and sits down next to her. She fusses in her inventory and offers Sally a cookie instead.
[Sally] Her face lights up and happily takes it- Thank you!
[Moth] Just a smile and a nod
[Splender] Is teleporting about, searching for his quarry but for the most part avoiding Lies place to not upset the baby-
[Moth] Catches sight of his sparkle trail outside and makes a little surprised grunt.
[Splender] Teleports around a bit, genuinely getting concerned that Sally may be hiding at Lie's place-
[Moth] Is unnerved by the slender so close to the house and indicates them to Sally-
[Sally] Giggles- I'm playing hide and seek with him!
[Moth] forgets the child can't understand her- Oh dear... Maybe not so close to the baby? Emp could really hurt her. - her tone is one of obvious worry-
[Sally] - It's okay!  He always finds me!  He's really good!
[Moth] Indicates that the child should stay put and goes outside to find a mob that can speak common.
-Unfortunately most of the mobs are busy at the moment and the generals are having a meeting- [Splender] Worried noise and wonders if he should get Slender-
[Moth] Gets frustrated and waves at Splender-
[Splender] Spots them and waves back-
[Moth] Ventures closer to him and speaks quietly- Can you understand me?
[Splender] - Do you need something?
[Moth] -facepalm- She waves her hands around to indicate 'female' and 'small' and then shades her eyes like she's looking for something.
[Splender] - Ah!  Yes!  I am looking for a child right now!
[Moth] Points at the bathhouse.
[Splender] - Oh dear...  I...  I can't go there right now...
[Moth] Spreads her hands, like she's at a loss.
[Splender] - I don't wish to risk leaving any traces of emp where it could effect the baby...
[Moth] Both hands open and forward and then points at the ground like 'stay here'. She backs off and heads for the bathhouse again. Looking around inside for the little girl.
[Sally] Is still in her hiding spot-
[Moth] Taps her lightly and then holds her arms open for a hug-
[Sally] Shakes her head- I can't!  Splendy might see!
[Moth] small swear word. And then goes back outside. She stands in the doorway for a long moment and then climbs onto the roof. She looks around from the higer vantage point and searches the sky with narrowed eyes. There's a bit of movement high above and she pulls out a torch before waving it wildly in the air.
-There's a bit of a grumpy roar and Gk flaps down and lands in the yard with a huff. -
[Gk] Oh, it's you. What you want?
[Moth] There's a little girl hiding inside who can't understand me and a Slenderbeing looking for her who also can't understand me and doen't want to get closer to the house because of the baby.
[Gk] Taps over to the door and squeaks it open with his head, tasting the air with his tongue- Sally?
[Sally] - Shhh!  I'm hiding!
[Gk] Swishes his tail a little- Yeah, I know. You're hiding too close to Lie's house. Splender won't come any closer because his waves might hurt Aether.
[Sally] - Awwww, but I found a really good spot!
[Gk] Yeah... but he can't find you here so.... stalemate. I guess you won?
[Sally] Finally comes out with a pout-
[Gk] Why so glum?
[Sally] - Because I thought I had a really good spot!  But now we can't play...
[Gk] You can play, just play in a different spot. Why don't you go play in the castle? That monstrosity was made for hide and seek.
[Sally] - But Splendy said we could only play one round!  Then I have to take a bath...
[Gk] Meh... baths. I'll ask him myself. - The big dragon saunters up to Splender, his face is actually level with his. - Hey Splendy. The kid picked a spot too close to Lie's house. You should let her hide somewhere else since this was out of bounds.
[Splender] - Oh dear, I was worried she'd done that...  Well, I suppose one more round can be arranged, just so long as brother doesn't find out
[Gk] Well I ain't gonna tell anyone. - He gestures with a wing at Moth, who has climbed down and walked over near one of his feet. - And neither of you can understand her nether-talk. This is Moth by the way.
[Splender] - Greetings!
[Sally] Is still in the bath house-
[Gk] So just yell for her, I know your big bro is pretty loud.
[Splender] - Sally?  Come here please!  We need to restart our game!
[Sally] Finally comes out and runs over-
[Gk] There you go.
[Splender] - Thank you for the help GK!- He takes Sally's hand and starts leading her off-
-Night falls softly and the shadows creep across the desert. The moon sails serenely across the sky as Ma turns uneasily in his bed. His dreams are troubled and leave him feeling nauseated and unsure. He recoils under the sensation of being watched and wakes with a sudden start. The house seems darker then it should be. The mobs seem distant and muffled but everything else magnified to an uncomfortable degree. A drip of water here, a torch suddenly crackling more then it should. A few stray particles in a shadow, too small to be anything he knows. and then, a soft knock on his front door-
[MA] - Shudders in his bed after waking up so suddenly. He extends his hand toward his lamp and the thing lights up dully. He almost doesn't hear the gentle knock on the other side of his home. He slides out of bed and throws a shirt on before padding through the building to the front door. - Coming...
-He opens the door a little bit -
[Doc] is standing outside with a somewhat vacant look. The only light is the pale  glow of hir eyes. Xe's weaponless despite the night and the mobs are curiously absent considering  the ripe opportunity to strike. - ...
[MA] Doc? Why're you here?
[Doc] sounds bad, like hir glitch is worse then usual- I heard you found something on TLOTs seed...
[MA] Uhh.... - thoughtful look- Yeah actually... Why do you ask?
[Doc] May I... Have it?
[MA] I don't know Doc, it made TLOT pretty sick when it was out? What if you get sick too?
-there's a certain thickness in the air and a hot wind like something large breathing...-
[Doc] That's a chance... I'll have to take... If it makes him sick I need to study it. He is one of our strongest brines.
[MA] - is a bit sleep foggy so he doesn't notice much off. - You for sure? It made him pretty sick... - hesitant -
[Doc] Seemed to get closer without moving- yeeesssssssss.
[MA] - backs up a bit, unnerved - If you're sure... I put it away, I'll go grab it. You can... Come in if you want... - steps back and leaves the door open a bit for hir before going to retrieve the item-
[Doc] Smiles in a really unnerving way and pauses at the threshold before stepping deliberately over it -
-The entrance way is cluttered with knick knacks, including a string of shiny gemstones hanging along the ceiling. A few bookshelves along one wall with a few ratty old books. MA is digging through a chest near the door to the next room, throwing several odd things around. -
[Doc] Seems to be in a bit of a trance and touches things idly, just exploring their surfaces. The room seems darker then it should be as well-
-They've left the door open behind them as well, and stand silhouetted in the moonlight. Just eyes in a shadow.
[MA] Hmmm... Let's see... Not this... This? Yeah. - He pulls the white object out of the chest.- Doc? Here it is.
[Doc] Hir eyes sparkle and xe takes it greedly. There's no reaction, they merely nod and turn to leave.
[MA] - grabs Doc's coat gently absent-mindedly- Be safe out there, Doc...
[Doc] Stops short as their hand contacts the fabric, a crackle rippling across what's obviously a skin as empty as a fresh Steve. The head of the figure turns slowly all the way around on the shoulders to face MA. The voice is wrong and gutteral.- why did you have to do that? We were having such a peaceful... transaction... - Suddenly the darkness seems to leap forward with icy tendrils out of every crack and shadow. It blinds the Alex as even the texture clips through his fingers. He's falling, screaming soundlessly into a cold airless void as his very soul is torn apart in the center of a black hole. And then...
-He wakes with a start in his own bed. It's morning.

Intermittent Fasting (and Feasting) At the Holidays: 6 Ways to Do It
The holiday season is notorious for unwanted weight gain. Although the average weight gain isn’t all that high—1 to 2 pounds—the real danger is that people rarely lose the weight they gain during the holiday season. So, if you go through ten holiday seasons, you’re looking at a very realistic and permanent gain of 20 pounds.
But it’s not just the weight you gain. Even if you manage to avoid gaining any weight, the onslaught of sugary foods you’re not used to consuming will play havoc with your blood sugar and insulin levels, leave you bloated and fatigued, and generally make what should be a joyous time a sluggish, low-energy one.
Imagine having your full measure of energy over the full holiday season. Imagine putting on a Santa suit and clambering around on the roof and shimmying down the chimney, giving your kids a real show. (Not recommending this literally of course.) Imagine enjoying the winter weather, rather than holing up indoors with a box of cookies waiting for it to pass.
One thing I like to do in suboptimal food conditions is use it as an opportunity to fast. If I’m traveling and my choices are airplane food or McDonald’s, I simply don’t eat. If I’m at a hotel where the idea of a complimentary breakfast bar consists of bagels, orange juice, and those tiny boxes of cereal, I don’t eat. Quite honestly, the holiday season is one big block of suboptimal food conditions.
Sure, it’s delicious. Sure, some of it is even nutritious, if we’re talking roasts and gravies and veggies and large crispy birds. But the quantity of food we consume and the frequency at which we consume it—combined with the prevalence of delicious treats and the “emotional” context—makes for an impossible situation. It really is the perfect scenario to pack on some mass—or the perfect opportunity to employ an intermittent fast.
How should you do it? Are there any tips, tricks, or strategies particular to the holidays that make fasting easier and more effective?
Skip Breakfast
Breakfast around the holidays can get quite ridiculous. How many of you have done this or know someone who has done this: having pumpkin pie/a half tin of Danish butter cookies/big bowl of mashed potatoes for breakfast? Even if no one is digging into the leftovers (although a turkey leg is a nice way to begin the day), you’ll see the likes of pastries, quiches (heavy on the crust), bagel spreads, pancakes, and waffles, etc.
So, just skip it, particularly when treats abound and beckon. You’ll avoid the problem entirely, give your digestive system a rest, keep the fat-burning going, and make any subsequent feasting later in the day more rewarding and less damaging. Have some coffee and cream instead. Heck, you could even whip the cream if you want to feel like you’re having a “treat” with everyone else.
Don’t Snack
Snacking kills during the holidays. While in more normal times I recommend against constant or absentminded snacking, at least then it usually just means a handful of nuts, a few pieces of jerky, a cup of broth. During the holidays, snacking means candy, cookies, and pie. There are mountains of junk almost everywhere you go and dozens of evangelists scurrying around foisting it on you. I don’t see it because I move in a curated culinary environment at my places of residence and work, but back before I went Primal, I can remember the ubiquity of treats during the holidays. If you’re the snacking type, you’ll likely make some bad choices.
Simply “not snacking” doesn’t sound like much of a fast, but going those 4-5 hours between meals can allow you to slip into a mild “fasted” state multiple times per day.
Don’t Nibble As You Cook
Whoever’s in charge of cooking the myriad holiday feasts and meals needs to understand how to handle themselves behind the stove. Quality control is one thing. Checking how things taste is understandable and necessary. But that’s not what gets you into trouble. What gets you into trouble is the constant nibbling and gnawing and chomping throughout the cooking process.
Spoonful of gravy here. Handful of mashed potatoes there. Oh, how’d that turkey skin turn out? Gonna have to try that. Oh, I wonder how it tastes dipped in the gravy. Boy, that dark meat sure is looking nice. Hmm, does the breast look a little dry to you? I’m going to try it. Now with some gravy and cranberry sauce—yeah, that does the trick.
By the time dinner is served you’re 800 calories deep, and you’re not even very excited about eating more (but you still do). Imagine if you’d fasted during the 4-5 hours you were preparing dinner. Not only would dinner be more satisfying and taste better, you wouldn’t have spent 4-5 hours in “fed mode.” Rally others to do the sampling. It’s never too hard to find takers.
Make Fasting a Tradition
Our success as a civilization rests upon our traditions. Heck, the Primal Blueprint is about respecting the oldest human traditions around, the “informal” and natural ones established by hundreds of thousands of years of hominid evolution. And yes, specific traditions can become outdated or run counter to currently accepted modes of thought and behavior, but the idea of tradition—a foundational behavior whose utility and importance has been tested through time—remains essential.
If you don’t have any traditions of your own, if they’ve been lost or ground down to pathetic shadows of their former selves, what do you do? You make your own. Fasting is a good choice, and it’s one that many other populations and cultures have performed. Pick a time frame—maybe a single 24-hour fast every Saturday, or “fast before each big holiday feast,” or “skip breakfast the week before each major holiday”—and suggest to everyone that the entire family get on board.
Do Leangains Style Fasted Training
Skip breakfast. Train around midday, lifting hard and heavy. After training, break the fast. Eat your last meal by 7 or 8 P.M. Aim for a 16-hour fasting period and an 8-hour eating window. Fast every day, train every 2-3 days. There’s even a book if you want more details.
This intensive method of fasting and training allows you a little more leeway with the food choices when you do eat. Much of what you eat will go toward repairing and rebuilding what you’ve broken down during training, and the everyday fasted periods will help you minimize fat gain. It can be quite intense, and people may have disparate responses to the rigidity of the schedule. If hard boundaries work well for you, if you like establishing rules and then sticking to them, this is the holiday fasting method for you. If you’re more fluid and balk at hard lines, you may have trouble. Women may have more success using 12-14 fasting windows.
Pair Your Dietary Transgressions With Fasts.
Are you the type to really go all out during Thanksgiving—dropping the Primal guidelines and just going for it? Mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, that weird sweet potato dish with marshmallows on top, pumpkin pie, the works? A one- or two-day fast right before or after the meal can mitigate the damage of the meal.
Even if there’s not much of a physiological benefit other than reducing your calorie intake to balance the overindulgence, the psychological boost we get from not eating will stave off the potential guilt of abandoning the Primal guidelines. I don’t support guilting or shaming ourselves because of what we eat, but I know it does happen. This can be a powerful antidote.
Whatever You Choose, Stick To a Schedule.
Once you figure out which fasting plan seems to work for your holiday situation, stick with it. Skip meals if you like, but try to eat at roughly the same time each day. This conditions your body to expect food (and get hungry at the right time, not before), and it improves the metabolic response to eating.
This applies whether you’re fasting in the morning or at night. In one recent study, the authors actually tested the effect of breaking your eating habits by separating overweight women into habitual breakfast skippers and habitual breakfast eaters and then having them either skip breakfast or eat breakfast.
Habitual breakfast eaters who skipped breakfast experienced way more hunger at lunch, had worse blood lipids, and higher insulin levels. They had worse blood lipids and their insulin skyrocketed. Habitual breakfast skippers who skipped breakfast experienced none of these deleterious effects.
Meanwhile, habitual breakfast eaters who ate breakfast were more satiated at lunch. They had better blood lipids and normal insulin levels. Habitual breakfast skippers who ate breakfast were still hungry at lunch. Eating breakfast didn’t inhibit their regular lunch-time appetites.
Regular eating schedules also improve insulin sensitivity, increase energy expenditure, improve fasting lipids, and result in the best metabolic effects.
Fasting isn’t a magic bullet. IF won’t fix all your metabolic issues and counteract every cookie, cake, and slice of pie you eat during the holidays. But it is a strong bulwark against the worst of the holiday excesses.
Are you going to fast this holiday season? Have you used IF in the past? What do you do to get through the holiday season without unwanted weight gain?
Thanks for reading, everyone. Take care!

Intermittent Fasting (and Feasting) At the Holidays: 6 Ways to Do It
The holiday season is notorious for unwanted weight gain. Although the average weight gain isn’t all that high—1 to 2 pounds—the real danger is that people rarely lose the weight they gain during the holiday season. So, if you go through ten holiday seasons, you’re looking at a very realistic and permanent gain of 20 pounds.
But it’s not just the weight you gain. Even if you manage to avoid gaining any weight, the onslaught of sugary foods you’re not used to consuming will play havoc with your blood sugar and insulin levels, leave you bloated and fatigued, and generally make what should be a joyous time a sluggish, low-energy one.
Imagine having your full measure of energy over the full holiday season. Imagine putting on a Santa suit and clambering around on the roof and shimmying down the chimney, giving your kids a real show. (Not recommending this literally of course.) Imagine enjoying the winter weather, rather than holing up indoors with a box of cookies waiting for it to pass.
One thing I like to do in suboptimal food conditions is use it as an opportunity to fast. If I’m traveling and my choices are airplane food or McDonald’s, I simply don’t eat. If I’m at a hotel where the idea of a complimentary breakfast bar consists of bagels, orange juice, and those tiny boxes of cereal, I don’t eat.

The sad news of Kentaro Miura's death have shaken the world of manga (and I dare say of comic books or even pop culture). I was wondering how do you think his masterpiece, Berserk, compares to Golden Kamuy and if an influence of sorts of the former can somehow be found in the latter. The theme of ambition is certainly there, as the topos of the tough and scary main character briken by trauma but with a heart of gold. What do you think?
Well...
I honestly wouldn't compare the two because to me they're two very different works although both are seinen who won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.
"Berserk" was monthly first then semimonthly, "Golden Kamuy" is weekly, which might seems irrelevant but the release date affect the pacing of the story greatly.
"Berserk" belongs to the Dark Fantasy genre while "Golden Kamuy" is an Historical manga, which means the authors have to worry about completely different things when crafting their story which allows them to pursue their themes in different ways.
Even the way the manga are structured is different, although both have many characters, "Berserk" for a long time has tended to focus the most on Guts, while GK shows itself to be a coral work from very early on.
There are some things that are similar, war, ambition, wish for a place to belong, trauma, but exactly because one is a dark fantasy while the other is historical, they're handled very differently.
In a dark fantasy you can view situations as metaphorical, in real life no one can experience "the eclipse" the way Guts and Caska do or sacrifice people to the God Hand's "apostles" the way Griffith does, but such situations can stand for real life experiences if you're willing to engage in the text as such, you might even enjoy how it's tinged in themes that reminds Nietzsche's ideas... or you can keep distance from it and just view it as a dark fantasy in which there are monsters that do terrible things to the humans and that need to be destroyed but none of this will happen in the real world so you can just enjoy the ride.
In an historical manga the experiences of the characters are things many people experience in real life. The Russo-Japanese war happened and, while now wars are more 'modern', there are things that still are the same. Sugimoto's experiences during the war, his coming back from it psychologically scarred are things that happened to tons of men, an experience that will continue being done as long as war exist. It's more difficult to keep distance, because even if the characters are fictionals most of what is mentioned is so very real it's easier it pushes you to think.
Mind you, I'm not saying this to say one is better than the other, just to say the two are so very different it doesn't seem fair to compare them.
In their genres I think they're both very good works, very solid and well studied, which tackle strong themes but in different ways and that the reader of one might not necessarily like the other but that they both deserve to be read.
"Berserk" is what I consider to be a classic in the manga world, "Golden Kamuy" is too new to be considered a classic but I expect it to become one.
Did "Berserk" get to influence "Golden Kamuy"?
Berserk started in 1989 (LOL, I've been reading it from 1996, it was a lifetime ago... I even watched the first anime series and brought the cd... "Forces" is still one of the songs I love the most), which places it close to "Hokuto no Ken" (which started in 1983) and "JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken" (which started in 1987) while GK is comparatively a newborn, as it started in 2014. We know Noda referenced both "Hokuto no Ken" and "JoJo". Right now I can't remember him mentioning "Berserk" (but it can be he did) and we don't know how old Noda is but I think there's a chance those are works he grew up with and if you grow up with something that's on this level of good, chances are it will directly or indirectly influence you.
So yes, it's definitely possible Miura's work influenced Noda, but as we can't know for sure it's hard to say.
The tough and scary main character briken by trauma but with a heart of gold is a common trope in storyteling but honestly, although Guts and Sugimoto live some similar experiences, to me they look as very different characters.
Guts had a tragic birth, as his mother was hung while she was pregnant and he was found by a slightly insane woman under her hanging body. His adoptive mother loves him but dies of illness, his adoptive father is a monster who mistreates him and sells him out to another man while Guts is desperate for his love. After he kils his adoptive father he continues to live alone as a mercenary untill he'll stumble into Griffith who'll force him to join him.
Sugimoto is instead for most of his youth a normal boy who lives a normal life with his beloved family and his friends and would have continued to live a normal life hadn't his family died due to sickness whcih caused him too to be ostracized. As a result Sugimoto does a couple of bad but understandable choices which lead him to lose Umeko to Toraji. He ends up in Tokyo, accepts to work for Kikuta and ultimately decides to join the army.
Of course the stories of both characters progress but they'll keep on progressing in different ways.
Sugimoto's life isn't a bowl of cherries but, compared to Guts' is litterally heaven on earth.
After the Eclipse Guts will become bitter, when Guts met Puck he cares little about how the citizens will be killed, all he wants is to deal with the Snake Lord. He doesn't want companions, he doesn't want to be touched, he's a ball of rage and desperation.
Sugimoto will never reach this level of bitterness, rage or desperation. Although he becomes more murder prone he never deliberately sacrifices innocents for his goal, he remains friendly and when he keeps other away is to protect them.
Again this is not about who of the two is better.
As main characters they're both awesome and they both will make you suffer a lot for them... but in very different ways.
So, long story short, I think both Miura and Noda did an awesome work with their masterpieces but that "Berserk" and "Golden Kamuy" are ultimately very different and wouldn't do justice to neither to compare them.
To who has gotten curious about it, "Berserk" is one of the manga I find is a MUST READ, however it comes with some warning as not only it's a seinen, therefore a work for adults, but it's very explicit in showing sex and violence RIGHT FROM THE FIRST PAGE, and that includes scenes of rape, monsters and situations worth of a horror story and other terrible things, so it's definitely not for soft hearted.
The art is beautiful and detailed, albeith dark but this fits with how "Berserk" has often a dark atmosphere (lighter scenes often have lighter art), the characters are well studied and there are strong themes. As said before you can find in it references to Nietzsche and his philosophy which makes for interesting points to ponder.
For me the story started to get really cool around the end of Vol 3, with the beginning of the Golden Age but there's who loved it from the start.
So... hum... sorry, this isn't exactly the analysis you wanted but I still hope it can be of some interest to read it.
Thank you for your ask!

1534 Nendoroid Hyakunosuke Ogata is finally available!
So, since Goodsmile finally made him available for preorder, let me ramble a bit about him (and how to preorder him).
Tumblr media
Yeah, I know I already did it for the prototype but a little more can’t hurt.
Warning, I’m gonna use the images that are on the Goodsmile site page for him... but also the ones on Kahotan’s Japanese blog because they capture him better.
So let’s start by seeing him in full colour.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The colouring is not bad, we were already familiar with this pose as it was used for the prototype as well so I won’t really comment much on it. I’m not sure why they’ve chosen the ‘standard expression’ instead than the grinning one for this photo as he actually was grinning in the image that inspired this but whatever, the grinning expression is included and that’s all that matters.
We can see an improvement in the definitive version, which is that his eyebrows are drawn in manga style (we can see many lines form them) and not in anime style (were they’re made with a single, large stroke).
This was something I know many fans has requested so I’m glad Goodsmile listened them... even though they declare that their official inspiration is his anime version.
They also added lines below his eyes so I’ll say they’ve tried their best in reproducing his expression.
Kahotan’s blog allows us to see him from behind as well.
Tumblr media
I love how they had drawn some rebellious strands of hair and hadn’t made them all slicked up, and his little hood is very cute.
It’s a pity it can’t be pulled up though but this would require three more additional pieces and it’s kind of clear Goodsmile wasn’t that invested in his cape as we can see in the images only one version of it.
Why this is relevant?
Because the right side of it is pulled up to allow Ogata to move his arm while the other is kept lowered. In hindsight probably it was better to include a cloth cape instead than a plastic one as I think this could limit Ogata’s mobility.
I’m not sure if he’ll be able to shoot with his cape on and the difference between the two sides might be too marked if he’ll keep his right arm down.
Oh well, this is something we will be able to judge only when we’ll have him and I understand this was a BIG problem for Goodsmile as they clearly couldn’t give him a dozen of plastic capes and pieces in cloth or in other materials that aren’t plastic are included only in rare occurrences.
The plastic cape is still VERY CUTE.
Okay, going on.
As Nendo’s arms are simply too short it was impossible to reproduce Ogata’s iconic gesture of hair grooming so I think, according to Goodsmile, this is the  compromise they could reach... whcih shows also the grinning face we could see in the prototype.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s nowhere near the hair grooming but, as I said, that one was IMPOSSIBLE TO GET so I really apprecciate their attempt to find something that could work as equivalent.
I think this image might give an even better idea of hair grooming (it reminds me of when he did it after Asirpa told him not to shoot the woodcocks), but maybe it’s just me.
Tumblr media
This image shows us they also gave him a left hand which can hold the rifle, which is nice.
We continue with something that left me a little perplex, Ogata’s shooting position.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t know if whoever placed him and Kahotan also made a mistake in positioning him... but it seems his right hand is not holding the rifle at all... when Ogata normally does.
Tumblr media
It wasn’t something problematic as Nendoroid Tanya Degurechaff can do it just fine.
Tumblr media
Even Nendoroid Springfield seems to hold the rifle with her right hand more than him.
Tumblr media
Still, it’s possible they just wanted to show that hand. In the initial image there’s a right hand that can hold the rifle, so maybe that’s the trick.
He still looks really cool when shooting.
Tumblr media
Goodsmile gave Ogata a butterfly to try to reach. I’ll say even if they said they were taking inspiration from the anime, they definitely have considered the manga as the butterfly scene isn’t in the anime, just in the manga.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOL, here they would have needed the standard expression and not the grinning one but whatever, Ogata reaching for the butterly is ADOURABLE.
Tumblr media
Yes, the butterfly is not very detailed, but keep in mind it will be really, really tiny. You won’t see all the details and it’s a complete new butterfly as the ones included in the “after parts part 2″ set were different
Tumblr media
The last image Goodsmile shows us is a very special one as THEY INCLUDED PARTS TO MAKE THE CITATAP SCENE!
Tumblr media
I’ve sent requests and pictures for this one so I’m delighted they had included it... which was not an easy feat as it means this Ogata will come with an additional sitting body (in addition to the little wooden stump and knifes) which is really not so common.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wish I could see his expression better but I still love him.
Overall I think they paid more attention to him than to my poor Nendoroid Asirpa (I made a full review here).
Tumblr media
Asirpa came with two more expressions, but despite all her pose being based on her being seated, she didn’t have any sitting part and she came with very few accessories (the hand with the chopsticks, the bown and the spoon with the otter head), she couldn’t hold her knives to make citatap and there was not a single possibility to have her use her bow and arrows, with not even her walking stick being included, although, credits when it’s due, due to the intricate Ainu patterns, she was probably hell to make for Goodsmile as there’s the chance that one had to be handpainted.
Also, her bent arm was a single piece, meaning you couldn’t rotate it, while both Ogata’s arms are two pieces. this makes for a lot more poses.
What worries even more though, is how she’s not being re-released with Nendoroid Ogata. Asirpa was released in 2018/09. Now, when Goodsmile release a new Nendo of a series for which they had already released Nendo, they often re-release them. It’s the case of how Tamaki Iroha gets a new release because they are releasing Nanami Yachiyo.
No re-release might mean my poor Asirpa didn’t really sell well, so Goodsmile either has still some of her old copies or doesn’t feel like investing in her again.
This means we got Nendoroid Ogata merely due to the HUGE amount of requests... and we might not get any other Golden Kamuy Nendoroid unless he sells really well.
Due to this I encourage you all to preorder him, to show Goodsmile an interest in GK Nendo. This not only because the Ogata Nendo is beyond cute but also because only in this way we can hope to get new GK Nendo as well.
How can you do it?
There’s of course, the Goodsmile on line shop. You register and place your oder. You will have to pay additional fees such as import taxes if you’re not residing in Japan.
However preordering in a shop near your home might be important in this period due to the Coronavirus affecting mail services so what can you do?
You can also order at Goodsmile online shop USA if you’re in Canada or in the United States as they don’t ship him out of them.
So what if you don’t live in Japan, USA or Canada?
Many of Goodsmile partner shops allow for pre-order.
You can search for one in your country or close by.
I use and can wholeheartedly recommend the Neko no Koe shop as they always offered me a great service. You can pay after your Nendo reaches their shop and they can send it to you when you’re ready to receive it (which for me is an imperative as there are periods in which I’m not at home and they just hold my Nendo for me without any additional cost and wait to send them until I’m back). They offer their services also to who’s not Italian so you can mail them to ask for info ([email protected]).
BE VERY WARY if you try to pre-order him from a shop that’s not one of the Goodsmile parters one. I never heard of someone managing to get an Asirpa bootleg and it’s possible they didn’t make them as she wasn’t popular but they’ll know Ogata was ugely requested so yes, chances to find him as a bootleg are higher.
Bootlegs often have a horrible quality (they rage from them being very ugly to their parts not staying together or being missing) but, what’s more, harm the original producer (Goodsmile) and the copyright holders (Geno studio and Noda himself).
I wholeheartedly recommend to stay away form them.

Ramblings and crazy theory time about GK chap 230 “Ienaga Kano”
So with the new chapter we get a split in the fandom on how to nickname Tsukishima. While the Japanese fandom goes for ‘Surekill-man’ a reference to a fanassigned nicknamed for a character in the ‘Jojo no kimyō na bōken’ universe, the western fandom went for something obviously more ‘western’…
Tumblr media
…to be honest with various variations of the nick, from purely ‘The Terminator’ from the homonymous movie to ‘The Tsukishima’ or ‘Tsukishimator’ and so on (I went with the one that would fit better in the space in the image, that and Merdopseudo liked it, my apologies to the nicks not used, you’re all cool but ‘there can be only one’).
But let’s start with the chapter and with how Tsukishima gained this nick.
We left him having been injected a sedative by Ienaga and yet still managing to shoot her to death. It’s worth to point out Ienaga’s sedatives need some time to affect people and our Tsukinator is trying to take advantage of it to make a short work of Tanigaki.
Really, we knew Tsukishima, pardon, the Tsukinator was good at hand-to-hand combat but not really how much. Tanigaki is supposedly good as well, bigger than him and not drugged and our supposedly sedated Tsukinator is literally wiping the floor with him without even breaking a sweat and Tanigaki manages only narrowly to have him miss shooting his brain off.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luckily for Tanigaki when it looks as if the Tsukinator will get better luck with his next shoot, the sedative kickes in (with the Tsukinator’s veins becoming rather visible as if they were some sort of monster crawling on his face)
Tumblr media
and the Tsukinator’s falls, his face flat on Tanigaki’s ample chest.
Ienaga, still alive, tells Inkarmat, who’s naively trying to stop the blood pouring out of her, about how the Tsukinator wouldn’t SUPPOSEDLY be able to move for two hours.
Tanigaki, always the righteous, gives Ienaga a look that Ienaga correctly interpret with ‘why would a selfish, evil criminal like you do something like that?’.
Tumblr media
Tanigaki represents that sort of naïve people that divide the world in two blocks, the purely evil ones and the purely good ones and misses how actually there’s a lot of middle ground in between the two groups and purely evil and purely good hardly exist if not in fairy tales.
As Ienaga did PLENTY of terrible deeds Tanigaki doesn’t care for her motivations nor expects her to feel also positive emotions like love or care and do something good like helping them. He put her in the box of the evil people and thinks there’s no way she would get out of it and do something good.
On the contrary side he perceives himself as being among the good guys, as proved by the previous chapter in which he said he wasn’t cold blooded enough to kill a friend, Sugimoto, conveniently forgetting he wanted to do the same to Kenkichi and that he did the same to Kiro (who saved his and Inkarmat’s life by the way) and doesn’t realize the ‘greyness’ in himself, feeling free to judge negatively Ogata and Nikaido for betraying Tsurumi but thinking instead that he is entitled to do the same.
This, of course, doesn't mean Tanigaki is evil, he’s merely human and therefore flawed.
I love this side of him as a character, I love how human Tanigaki is in his own good sides and in his own bad sides but, on the other hand it clearly makes me angry when he acts like a blind hypocrite. It’s human... but it’s no good at all.
Anyway Ienaga explains her own reasons which are… very simple.
Inkarmat, who’s about to give birth, is, for Ienaga, about to become ‘perfect’. Evidently the trauma of her mother’s abort, which twisted Ienaga and turned her into a bloody murderer and cannibal, rules her life not only pushing her to do heinous acts but also in a positive way. She wants to save this pregnant woman, she wants her to attain the ‘perfection’ neither her or her mother could attain. And it’s clear Ienaga is completely content with giving up her life for this, in fact she’s smiling and telling Tanigaki to not lose this moment.
Inkarmat is touched. Tanigaki just pulls Inkarmat up and tells her to leave without even a word of thank you for the person who gave her life so that they could escape. Inkarmat’s gaze instead is still on Ienaga and since she doesn’t seem to really try to get up I wonder if this is because she feels bad for Ienaga, for leaving her behind.
Tumblr media
Not that she can be saved.
This, mind you, doesn’t mean Ienaga is now a good person or that she gets redeemed by this single heroic act. Ienaga is a terrible person who did terrible things and who’s helping Inkarmat only because, for her own reasons, she had come to care about her.
It’s entirely possible Ienaga doesn’t regret a single terrible thing she had done in life and, had she survived, she would have continued to try to chop people and eat them for their own purposes… except Inkarmat for whom she had grown fond.
On the other side the cover of the chapter, placed here and showing Ienaga’s body, depicts the sprays of blood that came out of her as forming a halo and wings, while the writing points out that Ienaga became perfect in that very moment, by giving her own life for someone else.
Tumblr media
If this is Noda nodding to Christian faith again, the implication is that yes, Ienaga regretted what she did in the past and that she would be forgiven, not by men but by God.
After all, according to many, ‘Who saves a life saves the world’.
Yeah, yeah, among fans it’s a controversial topic.
The tropes of ‘death equals redemption’ and ‘redemption equals death’ are overused to the point they feel cheap and that’s due to fans themselves. As James Norrington said ‘The problem with a 'redemption' gig is, well, no one wants to see it. They all want to believe in it, sure, but to do it... it's as good as signing your own death warrant. Audiences don't want to see you redeemed, living a normal life. They'll never truly forgive you for your flaws as long as you're alive.’
Long story short, authors who decide to portray that EVERYONE can do a heel-face turn, that you can stop doing evil things, that is never too late to become a good person which is a great message really, also end up heroically killing off characters who decide to do something good for a change, so as to appease the fans who can’t forgive them and just want them to never realize the errors of their way and die a miserable death (or, when they feel merciful, spend their life being miserable).
Well, if that’s your kind of story, you’re free to roll with it.
De gustibus non disputandum est.
I’m personally not sure that, had Ienaga survived, after this heroic act of her, the trauma that pushed her into becoming the person she was, would be magically healed and she would become a morally perfect person... or at least as morally perfect as a human can be (not much really unless you’re in air of sainthood) and OF COURSE there’s no way she could ‘pay back’ all the people she killed as... well… they’re dead (I know there’s a lot of confusion about it but redemption isn’t about being forgiven, nor is about giving your life in a heroic way, redemption is about paying back the people you wronged... unless of course you use religion and have the character atone for his sins against God by redeeming himself to His eyes and not really by redeeming himself to his victims)  but I like the idea Noda is hinting this could have helped her to change their ways.
A perfect world would be perfect if all the criminals just were to change their ways and become good people, not if the jails could contain them all or if they were to drop all dead in a ‘Death Note’ style (though, when we talk about fictional works, there’s a bit of Yagami Light in all the fans… :P ). We need good men more than we need jails filled and corpses.
But well, this of course is just an utopia, sinning is addictive and changing your life is hellish hard. It happens even in real life, but is sadly very rare.
Anyway Tanigaki and Ienaga leave Inkarmat’s room only to meet up with Koito, pointing his gun at them. Tanigaki, who was pushing ahear Inkarmat, now places her behind himself but Koito is clearly torn. He’s sweating and chewing his lower lip as he lower his gaze as well before lowering his gun too and telling them to leave.
Tumblr media
The two run away, always without thanking him, but then Tanigaki wonders why Koito left them go.
Inkarmat points out that when Koito was bedridden she spent a lot of time telling fortunes to him but Tanigaki rejects the idea. The Second Lieutenant Koito he knows wouldn’t have shown mercy to a person who had shown kindness to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While this is partially true, as part of Koito’s actions are clearly motivated by how he had lost faith in Tsurumi and Tsukishima due to discovering how he was used by them, I still think him letting Inkarmat go is also part due to him growing fond of her.
She was with him and cheered him up when he was wounded and weak and, in a way, in enemy ground. I think this was precious to him and Inkarmat, who’s clearly not a naive person, probably realized it. Koito knows he can’t escape, he doesn’t take that chance to run away as well, but it’s worth to mention if Tsurumi were to realize he let them go, Koito could end up in troubles as well and maybe he’s afraid Tsukishima too could put him in troubles since he warned him if he were to betray he would kill him. Koito also is risking his own life to help them, and, I think, is something he’s not doing solely out of the kindness of his heart but out of genuine care for Inkarmat.
She won him over a little.
It’s also sad how Tanigaki thinks that Inkarmat’s kindness should have gone unrewarded on Koito. He doesn’t think the time she spent with him would affect Koito, that he would grow to care for her. He sees Koito as a lost cause, a man uncapable of showing thankfullness and apprecciation for the kindness he received.
Koito is in another box for bad guys from which Tanigaki didn’t think Koito should have been able to get off and instead he did. People don’t change to Tanigaki, he has no hope for them to get better, to improve themselves, to develop positive relations or to do good thing. Once evil, always evil.
It’s a sad, hopeless and cold view.
I think even Nihei would be hurt by it.
Meanwhile Tanigaki put in action his ‘bright plan’ of escaping with Inkarmat on a horse a mean of transportation surely perfectly comfortable for a pregnant woman who could give birth at any minute and whose speed wouldn’t resent at all of the fact it has to carry two people, one of which at the nth month of pregnancy plus whatever Tanigaki has in those bags he hung to the horse and his own backpack.
Now… remember when I said the Tsukinator was meant to be out of commission for supposedly two hours?
Well, we wished.
The Tsukinator, despite the sedative, manages to get up, grab a rifle, shoot in Tanigaki’s direction and recharge before… falling again. Honestly I’m not sure if he has fainted or he just slipped off the bed due to lack of coordination. Nothing stop the Tsukinator as we’ll see later on.... but after all we knew it.
Tumblr media
‘Listen, and understand, Tanigaki. That Tsukinator is out there, it cant be bargained with, it cant be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop... EVER, untill you are dead!’
Too bad Tanigaki can’t hear me lecturing him about the Tsukinator....
Meanwhile as Tanigaki and Inkarmat escape, as it was easy to predict, the rocking of the horse of course starts to affect Inkarmat. Tanigaki realizes he was going too fast and, since they managed to make to the edge of the Otaru he thinks they’re far enough and safe enough they can stop there in an abandoned building.
As Tanigaki lights a fire, Inkarmat notes there’s blood coming from his head so he uses the Matanpushi (the headband Huci gave him) to bandage it, claiming he’ll be fine.
Tumblr media
Honestly I don’t really find respectful to use that headband as a makeshift bandage as the Matanpushi has a religious meaning among Ainu, in fact it tells Gods where they are and calls their protection on the wearer. I can understand Huci using it as such, to ask the Gods to protect Tanigaki, but, as I doubt Tanigaki is now an Ainu Gods believer, it just feels a bit inappropriate.
On the other side in desperate times people would beg at whatever altar they would find and I also wonder if, in a way, this makes Tanigaki feel as he felt when he was escaping from Ogata and Nikaido so in a way he is hoping Huci’s headband will give him protection not so much through the Gods in which Huci’s believes but just because it’s Huci’s headband... which again is very human and also rather sweet.
(Besides there are huge chances Tanigaki has no idea of the religious meaning tied to it...)
We can also see that Tanigaki’s irises recover their light colour now that he’s wearing it so yes, I think it has a good psychological effect on him and it’s not just something he picked up at random.
Anyway Tanigaki plans to have them rest only a little and then escape farther.
Inkarmat notes Tanigaki is losing blood from his leg also, which Tanigaki thinks is the result of Tsukishima shooting at them earlier and which he notices only now since he was so busy escaping he didn’t even felt the pain it should give him.
While this is kind of normal and points rather well to Tanigaki’s inner state, so completely focused on escaping he basically didn’t even felt pain, not checking on his own conditions is a huge mistake. Not only loss of blood makes him weaker and could have caused him to faint, making him useless and giving Inkarmat more troubles but his dripping blood left a convenient track the Tsukinator followed till there.
And that’s why I think Tsukishima didn’t faint, he only fell because, on his feet he basically reached Tanigaki and Inkarmat who escaped on a horse in no time as they only apparently had time to light the fire before being discovered. The Tsukinator is even faster than Jason Voorhees in tailing after his victims despite being on his feet and drugged… but Noda has already assigned the comparison with Jason to Sugimoto so I’ll stick with the Tsukinator…
Anyway the Tsukinator tries to shoot Tanigaki but he narrowly misses him.
Tumblr media
Either Tanigaki is lucky, due to the Matanpushi the Gods are really protecting him or Tsukishima is still partially affected by the sedative. Anyway Tanigaki tells Inkarmat to escape from the back as he tries to shoot the Tsukinator and… miss him despite the Tsukinator being only few steps from him as the Tsukinator lowers himself, pushes Tanigaki on the ground and then punches him hard.
Tanigaki, taking advantage of his superior size and strength, grabs the Tsukinator up and tosses him against a wall so hard the Tsukinator crashes through it.
Think this signs a score for Tanigaki? Think twice.
The result of Tanigaki’s efforts is that when Tanigaki grabs his rifle and tries to shoot him, the Tsukinator had all the time to hide, protected by the walls.
Tanigaki looks out, and luckily for him the Tsukinator isn’t into position yet as Tanigaki’s head would have been a beautiful target right then.
Way to go, Tanigaki, really.
Inkarmat calls him so Tanigaki reaches her and again they escape on a horse. Again.
The Tsukinator shoots Tanigaki in the shoulder...
Tumblr media
...before faithfully ‘hopping’ after them at a leisurely pace with a calm and a determination that betrays how he took lessons from Pepé Le Pew only, to Pepé and Tsurumi’s displeasure, what pushes him forward to chase and attempt to kill Tanigaki, is clearly not ‘love’.
Anyway morning as come and Inkarmat and Tanigaki are still escaping on a horse, conveniently leaving blood track on the snow that the Tsukinator can follow. They might as well leave direction signs.
Tumblr media
Tanigaki though is optimist. Now he has a rifle so, he thinks, the Tsukinator will keep more at distance (he wishes) and besides since he’s more at home in the mountains than him they will easily lose him if he will hide there with a pregnant woman about to give birth and for whom all those emotions and the horse ride clearly aren’t good.
Tumblr media
As on cue and strictly following Murphy’s law, Inkarmat’s water breaks and Tanigaki’s oh so perfect plan to slowly reach the mountains and lose the Tsukinator there crashes when facing the logistics of how to deal with an impending childbirth that Ienaga had warned him was about to happen. But no, do not listen to the amazing doctor when the latter is also a criminal who just died to save your ass.
Tumblr media
So Tanigaki APOLOGIZES TO THE HORSE because he is leaving him behind and mind him, this is nice and everything but what about thanking Ienaga, who died for you and Koito who risked his ass for you?
Tumblr media
Meanwhile the Tsukinator moves closer following the trail of blood he can notice also in a bamboo grove… to discover Tanigaki’s horse which now has a wound on his leg, likely made by Tanigaki as the horse before seemed perfectly fine.
The Tsukinator understands he was misleaded into chasing the horse and his brain computer analyze the situation to set on a new course… and soon it’ll become obvious it’s not really difficult to get which one.
Meanwhile Tanigaki, who’s about to become father, carries Inkarmat bridal stile running through the snow repeating the classic sentences Panicky Expectant Fathers says to their wives when they’re about to give birth to a baby: ‘you can do this, grit your teeth and bear it, it’s gonna be okay, I’m with you, you can do this, everything will work out… yadda, yadda’.
Tumblr media
Mind you, it’s nice from them as it’s not like there’s something they can do except saying such things and being of moral support with their presence but it’s a trope so abused seeing it in this scene somehow made me laugh instead than feel the drama that’s obviously looming over him and Inkarmat due to them being in an obviously very dire situation.
And it’s worth to mention that Inkarmat, same as all the other pregnant women, appreciates a lot Tanigaki’s efforts to reassure her.
Tumblr media
Moral support might seem nothing much but sometimes it can also do miracles and it’s great to know there’s someone with you that encourages you when you’re in such a desperate situation, a rock against which you can hold so as not to be dragged away by waves.
So she smiles and hugs Tanigaki tightly and tries to hold on.
It’s a good moment.
Yeah, Tanigaki went into this without the sliver of a decent plan but at least he decided to stick with the people that were important for him and not leave them alone at the first sign of trouble.
Tanigaki has plenty of faults and flaws but, despite this I think it’s so IMPORTANT how he decided to stay with Inkarmat through thick and thin when so many other men would have washed their hands clean of her and the baby.
Maybe Tanigaki can’t give us lessons about planning or about not being hypocrites but sure as hell he’s trying his hardest to be a good companion and a good father and this is GREAT, really.
He’s wounded, he has lost blood and yet he’s running in the snow with all their luggage and Inkarmat, who’s pregnant, in his arms.
The Tsukinator can be scary in the way he doesn’t stop his chase but Tanigaki, who’s instead moved by love, is amazing.
Sadly though, Tanigaki isn’t really good at planning things and this definitely plays against him.
So Tanigaki, running like a madman, reaches the most predictable destination in the neighbourhood of Otaru in which he could hope to get help, Huci’s house, where we can see next to her the son of Sakamoto, the Lighting Bandit and O-gin who now had grown enough he can sit on his own.
Tumblr media
While yes, in this place they can find someone who’ll help Inkarmat, it’s not like The Tsukinator couldn’t guess Tanigaki would take this course, it was obvious enough that escaping with a woman who’s about to give birth they should find a place in which said woman could give birth and Huci’s house is close enough so I expect the Tsukinator to figure this out and reach them in no time. I honestly doubt Tanigaki will manage to repeat the same trick he used with Ogata as, first of all, at this point it wouldn’t be wise to move Inkarmat for a while and this includes also just after she gave birth and he can’t leave her behind or she and her child will become hostages Tsukishima and Tsurumi can use against him or kill off in retaliation for his escape and this now includes Huci as well since Tanigaki has ended up involving her.
Due to Tanigaki’s huge involvement in Kiro’s death (Kiro died of blood loss mainly caused by the wound Tanigaki gave him) he’ll likely be a victim of the tiger curse and condemned to live an unhappy life meaning there are chances he won’t be the one to die here but that he’ll lose everything here.
Tsukishima is in no better position as he also contributed to Kiro’s death albeit in a smaller manner (the wound Tsukishima inflicted him did negligible harm compared to Tanigaki’s although it clearly didn’t help, actually it only speeded up Kiro’s death) so let’s talk a bit about him.
Tsukishima didn’t need to become The Tsukinator, as I called him through this whole rambling.
He attempted to stop Tanigaki, he was drugged, they went away, he could have told Tsurumi he just passed out, Koito kept on sleeping and be done with the whole business.
Tanigaki is just a man who wants to go back home, he isn’t interested in the gold hunt nor in stopping Tsurumi, he wants to get the woman he loves and have a family with her. Inkarmat is a woman who due to her past with Wilk ended up becoming a pawn to him and now she apparently merely wants to have a family with Tanigaki. The incoming baby has no fault of his own and can’t prove to be a threat.
Why just not letting them go? Why do they need to be killed or captured at any cost?
Is the baby’s actually Tsurumi? Did they experimented on the fetus so as to create the perfect soldier or the antichrist himself? Does Inkarmat know earth shattering  secrets that can’t be revealed to anyone?
Tsukishima was willing to let go Gansoku, a criminal. When Koito unveiled the truth Tsukishima let it slide as long as Koito played along with Tsurumi.
So why not letting go Tanigaki, Inkarmat and the baby?
Just because they aren’t okay with being used as a pawns like he is? Just because they want to have the ordinary happy life Tsukishima was denied? Or it’s because in this way it won’t come out Koito let them go?
I don’t know but I can’t say I like what Tsukishima is doing. He could turn the other way to save three lives, he could turn the other way as he does each time Tsurumi commits a crime and instead he decided to stick with Tsurumi against three people who, apparently, can’t really do Tsurumi harm. I’m really sad he chose to be that way.
On another note there’s something I wanted to remark in the past chapter but forgot about it so I’ll mention it here. I love how Noda handles Inkarmat’s pregnancy.
In many cases in manga a pregnant woman is often moving around like a not-pregnant woman, using her protruding belly like a hand rest and maybe being a little slow and fatigued but overall acting as she usually do.
Inkarmat moves exactly like a pregnant woman instead, not using her belly as a hand rest but protecting and holding it with her hands, taking it into consideration when she moves around and even when she’s in a seating position she clearly have to adjust it to make it comfortable for herself now that she’s in her 9th month. Noda really did his homework with her.
Anyway with this chapter we end volume 23, with Tanigaki coming back to Huci without Asirpa and with a woman about to give birth and a Tsukinator tailing after them in a situation that really sounds like it will become a déjà vu of volume 5.
Ogata back then didn’t want to shoot Tanigaki in Huci’s house so as not to have to kill her too and ended up allowing Tanigaki to get an advantage over him. We’ll see what the Tsukinator will do… and we’ll see what Tanigaki will do now as well, so as to ensure Inkarmat, his kid and Huci (as well as Sakamoto and O-gin’s baby) will get out of this safely.
Hopefully maybe, being back on the mountains will give him back his planning ability.
Using the horse to lead Tsukishima in the wrong direction wasn’t a bad idea even if the course he took afterward became then far too predictable. On a sidenote… in that circumstance Nikaido was there as well and Tsukishima watched as Tsurumi cut his ear. I do wonder… was Nikaido still at the hospital? Does he know what’s going on? Will he join them? And with whom he’ll side?
Tanigaki who caused him to be attacked by a bear or Tsukishima who stood by as Tsurumi cut his ear and would have let the latter kill him without blinking?
It would really be interesting to have Nikaido join the party with a ‘personal’ position instead than just the one of the soldier who has to obey to Tsurumi’s orders.
As the tiger curse said they’re supposed to live an unhappy life, unless I’m misinterpreting something, the curse won’t attempt to their lives, just at making them miserable. Still, we’ll see. I don’t want Inkarmat, the baby and Huci to die but I get this could be appropriate karmic retribution for Tanigaki. We’ll see.
In a way, while the previous chapter pushed forward a comparison between Tanigaki’s escape plan (or lack thereoff) and Ogata’s escape plan, this chapter is all a comparison in strenght and endurance between Tsukishima and Tanigaki. They fight, they keep on going even when other men would just give up, with a desperation and a determination that makes me think of Kiro in his last moments and that might be done on purpose in case the tiger curse is looming on them.
Kiroranke is looking down on them from above, seeing them as they struggle like he did, seeing them, who in the past had a good relation, fight without mercy like Tanigaki did with him.
We’ll see how it’ll end for both of them but sure thing the irony in all this is big.
Last but not least a question that’s going to stay unanswered for now. Who between the Tsukinator, the killer rabbit of Caerbannog, the 6 million yen man  and Jasonmoto would win should they come to a hand-to-hand fight? We’ll probably discover this in the future.

Roleplay Server Log #251
“Chaotic Breakfast”
[Doc] Gets up early for once and stands in the front doorway for a while, just watching the rain and deep in thought. After a while Xe ventures back down to the lab to see if Lie has awakened yet, only to find her sleeping in Cps lap- Cp... Did she remember?
[CP] Shakes his head- She couldn't sleep last night and accidentally slipped into the lava a little
[Doc] At least she feels safe with you. You know, she is a brine as well.... There's a strong chance she may fall in love with you all over again before her memories return. She may choose you this time instead of the other way around.
[CP] Narrows eyes at Doc-
[Lie] Stirs a little-
[Doc] Cheerfully - well I guess I'll go feed my critters, you two relax. - Xe walks over to the slime block enclosure to tend to them
[Lie] Yawns before opening her eyes.  It takes her a moment to realize what position she's in and she jumps and flushes a little from embarrassment- I'm sorry!  I didn't mean to fall asleep on you!
[CP] - It's fine
[Lie] Stands up and brushes herself off, still embarrassed and then she spots Doc- Oh, hello...
[Doc] Is distracted for a moment and an endermite slips by hir and runs down the hall - Figgy! You get back here!
[Lie] Quickly steps away from the endermite, remembering what Doc had told her the previous night about the mobs-
[Figgy] Runs over her foot and steals a piece of food from her inventory before skittering towards TLOTand Steve's room -
[Doc] Chases after- dammit!
[Lie] Nearly falls back into the lava but CP pulls her back-
[CP] - You okay?
[Lie] - I think so...
[CP] - Stay still, you got more lava in your hair- He combs his fingers through it again to free it
[TLOT] Comes upstairs with Figgy in his hands - did you lose this? It was trying to steal one of my boots.
[Doc] Yes. Sorry. Can you put them back please?
[TLOT] pauses to look at lie and Cp before doing as he's asked
[Lie] - What is it?
[TLOT] Nothing... I was just curious. How are you feeling?
[Lie] - Rested, finally.  I had some difficulty sleeping last night
[CP] Finishes getting the lava out and stands up so he can stretch-
[TLOT] Ah, well that's good.
[Lie] - So what is the creature that escaped?
[Doc] It's a type of bug, they bite so they're dangerous in swarms and they steal things from players and chests.
[Li] - Then why do you keep them?
[TLOT] Comes back- Figgy is okay, just saw an opportunity and took it. Little bugger.
[Doc] They're interesting to me, and I don't mind the little noises they make. Keeping them like this also means they'll live a lot longer then they would in the wild
[Lie] - Oh, I see.  So I'm guessing breakfast will be soon?
[Gk] Settles down in the librairy, watching the kids read and play. He's grateful Mb got bored after a bit and took Celine home. Though the flappy little dragon did play with the others a little bit.
[Endrea] Stumbles in, still wounded and exhausted-
[Gk] Endrea! What happened?
[Endrea] - An ambush- She lays down, wincing a little
[Gk] Oh gods... - He sniffs her, looking her over for wounds-
[Endrea] - Winston thought CP's NOTCH had stopped attacking because he had confirmed that the Master was no longer there, but he was wrong...  Both Lie and I were attacked
[Gk] You look hurt. Poor thing... - He snuggles up next to her.  - Is Lie hurt too?
[Endrea] - She...  She was deleted...
[Gk] Starts to cry despite himself. - Lie...
[Endrea] - Flux managed to capture her code, and Doc went to work on her
[Gk] Oh, thank goodness... considering what they had to work with when Liu was the one on the table. She should be up and around in no time.
[Endrea] - I hope so too.  The Master seemed, defeated when I last saw him
[Gk] I imagine so... I've seen him brought pretty low just because she was mad at him.
[Endrea] - But to lose her...
[Gk] Nah. If Doc has any part of her, I think she'll be fine. I've seen them do some far out shit since I got here.
[Endrea] - There was another thing which happened...  Do you remember the nightmare Ashe had some time ago?
[Gk] Vaguely?
[Endrea] - I fear it may have come true...  The NOTCH had a diamond sword...
[Gk] Bah. Diamond swords aren't that unusual.
[Endrea] Snuggles into GK, even though it hurts a little-
[Gk] Lays a wing over her as much as he can. - It's okay kiddo. You're safe now.
[Endrea] - It was a close one though
[Gk] Eh, that's how it is when you run with Herobrines. You want me to call for Sweet Alex?
[Endrea] - Perhaps...
[Gk] All over it - he sends a message that just says that Endrea is hurt and depressed and requests her presence.
[Sweet Alex] Arrives shortly after. She's got an inventory full of dry cookies and she's wearing her enderdragon kigirumi since it's a bit late. - I heard someone needed cheering up?
[Endrea] - Hello Sweet Alex
[Sweet Alex] Hello Endrea. It looks like I'm dressed just right for the party. - Indicates the little ones running around.
[Endrea] - Yes, I'm just glad they are safe
[Sweet Alex] Sits down next to her head. - Are you feeling poorly?
[Endrea] - I made a very grave mistake...
[Sweet Alex] Well I don't know about mistakes. But Gk told me you needed a hug. - She wraps her small arms around as much of the dragons head as she can reach and gives the warmest loving squeeze. It's almost as if it releases a healing burst that clears the bad energy from the air. Making everyone feel a bit lighter and more hopeful.
[Endrea] - Sweet Alex, I got my Mistress deleted...
[Gk] Her code was saved. But she's likely in a weakened state at least.
[Sweet Alex] I sincerely doubt you did it on purpose Endrea.
[Endrea] - But it was my job to protect her
[Sweet Alex] What happened?
[Endrea] - We went to the Master's seed, Winston told us that he believed the NOTCH had left, he hadn't.  I did what I could to protect her, but she ordered me to return here, and she ended up harmed
[Sweet Alex] Then you did what you were told. And it sounds like she wasn't entirely lost.
[Endrea] - I can only hope the Master forgives me
[Gk] He'll come around eventually. Besides, it sounds to me like you'll be considering yourself just Lie's body guard and a free agent otherwise pretty soon. I hear there aren't many of Cp's mobs left....
[Endrea] - Which saddens me, the mobs became his family after Stevie rejected him.  He truly does care for them
[Gk] Then why doesn't he bring them here?
[Sweet Alex] It's not like having more would really be noticable.
[Endrea] - I cannot guess my Master's mind
[Gk] Me neither. Cp's got a head harder then one of TLOT's kookoonut pods.
[Endrea] Huffs and curls up a little- I just hope that bastard is taken care of soon
[Gk] We'll figure out a way.
[Sweet Alex] We just have to work together!
[Gk] Rolls his eyes, but he is smiling.
[Endrea] Yawns-
[Sweet Alex] Sits up against her. Her kigi is a dot of warm fuzziness against Endrea's scaly neck.
[Endrea] - I believe I should rest for now
[Gk] Sounds like a good plan.
[Sweet Alex] Is is okay If I stay? I had to make a rather mad dash amidst the mobs to get here.
[Endrea] - Yes, absolutely
[Sweet Alex] Thank you -little yawn and she cuddles up to Endrea.
[Doc] Is making breakfast, it's a bunch of different things because xe's out of sorts. Xe walks around the counter to give Yaunfen their own plate of candies and pastry, before slipping back behind the counter to mind the pots.
[Yaunfen] Is in human form and eagerly grabs at the food-
[Lie] - Umm...  Why are they just eating candy?
[Doc] Hmm? Oh, it's because my little one is from a modded seed. Everything there is like that. It's super pastel and cute.
[Deer] Is making the coffee-
[Lie] - Moded seed?  I don't understand...
[Doc] It's a texture pack. All the usual stuff is there, but it's made out of different materials. Here, Deerheart can you watch this for a sec so nothing burns?
[Deer] - Sure
[Doc] Xe pulls things out of a trunk and sets them on the counter. - This is a bread loaf [looks like a big chocolate bar], some grass [colorful popsicles], and this is rabbit meat [chocolate bunny] and this... wait, this dosen't belong in here at all. - in hir hand is a single dim sum bun, still warm from it's stasis in the box.
[Lie] Looks at it curiously, kinda wanting it-
[Doc] Looks it over. - I totally forgot about this. I wonder if it's the last one?
[Lie] Leans forwards and gives an awkward noise as she suddenly shrinks-
[Doc] Lie? Oh dear.
[Lie] Is panicking as she realizes she's now a cat-
[CP] Reaches down and picks her up- It's alright, this is normal for you
[Doc] I guess you really want this if it made you pull your cutest face -  xe makes a quick copy and sets the bun in front of her.
[Lie] Gives a confused mew, not sure how to eat it in this form-
[Doc] Just eat it, you'll be fine. You may look like a cat, but you still have a brines stomach.
[Lie] Leans over and starts nibbling-
[CP] Tiniest of smiles-
[Buff] Enters the room from the shrine side. He's shirtless with a towel around his neck. - Ah! Such a lovely morning for a jog! Hey, we have company!
[Lie] Spooks and hunkers down in CP's arms-
[CP] - Not so loud asshole!
[Buff] slightly lower volume - Sorry! Aww you got a cat! What a pretty little white kitty!
[CP] Growls at Buff-
[Buff] What? She's adorable! - snags a lemon off the tree and starts eating it like an apple.
[Doc] Uh Buff? You might not want to do that.
[Buff] It's okay! It's sour but good for feeling awake!
[Lie] Is beginning to wonder how she's supposed to get back to normal-
-Liz slinks in after Buff, blepping slightly
[Buff] Ruffles Liz's head crest- Nice to have a jogging buddy!  Yaunfen, you should come with us tomorrow!
[CP] Leans down and gathers Lie's current clothes before taking her into the other room and begins walking her through how to change back-
[Liz] -Smiles brightly and nuzzles the ruffle hand- Good for exercise! Skee doesn't run much! *pout
[Doc] You guys are waaaay to energetic for first thing in the morning.
[Sky] -Slowly trailing in, panting and sweating, clearly got rounded into the jogfest-
[Lie] Yelps a little as she turns back and is naked-
[CP] - Calm down, I've seen you naked plenty of times before
[Lie] Slightly embarrassed noises-
[Buff] There's the slow poke! You shouldn't teleport so much - pokes Skye in the belly - Makes you soft!
[Sky] -Soft hissss-
[Sky] -Wheeze-
[Lie] Puts on the basic Alex clothes and follows CP back into the other room-
[Sky] I haven't run in centuries, I regret that--wheeze- intensely
[Doc] Skye? If you can drink anything you should. You look ready to pass out.
[Liz] That's why you should! *bleps and sits down, curling tail around legs
[Buff] There's the wife! Good morning Lie!
[Lie] - Er...  Hello?
[CP] Hands her the bun so she can finish it-
[Buff] Was the big guy tossing around too much in bed? Had to wait for him to get up so you could get some shut eye?
[Doc] Good grief...
[Lie] - Huh?
[CP] Is muttering and cursing under his breath-
[Doc] Leans over the counter. - Liz? Skye? If either of you want food feel free to take some. -Indicates several different things on the counter and table.
[Sky] I barely got to eat before shi ran off after him, finally eating sounds good...
[Liz] -Leans up and looks at everything to eat, still blepping-
[Buff] Takes another lemon and munches on it - Bracing! I like what you did with your hair Lie, looks nice.
[Lie] - I... I'm sorry...  Who are you?
[Buff] What? Did you get hit on the head?
[Doc] She has amnesia... Lie, this is my NOTCH, Buff.
[Lie] - Hello
[Liz] -Tries some of everything, including the pastry Sky had picked up-
[Sky] Liiiizzz....
[Deer] Trips and falls with a yelp-
[Doc] Whoah! - helps her up - Are you okay? Do I need to tend your hooves again?
[Deer] - No, just a few bumps and bruises
[Sky] -Gets another pastry and eats it, slouching at the table-
[Liz] -get up and strut around-
[Doc] Forgets for just a second- Lie can you make me a healing flower...? oh... I'm sorry....
[Lie] - A healing flower?
[Doc] Looks rather sad. - You've made so many of them, it's just a habit. Never mind....
[Lie] - I...  I could try?
[Doc] If you want... They're green and white and kind of cup shaped. - Indicates with hir hands.
[Lie] - Okay...- She looks down at her own hands and tries visualizing what Doc described-
[Buff] Stands up and corrects Liz's strut as if xe were a prize horse.
[Liz] -Strut strut continue, proudly- I did good!
[Buff] Hold your head up high, it's good for your back!
[Lie] Yelps as a burning red flower erupts into her hands-
[Liz] -Shi's strutting good, but having hir tongue hang out in a blep really ruins the whole image-
[Doc] quickly grabs a wool square and wraps her hands to try and extinguish it-
[Lie] - I'm sorry!
[Buff] Pokes Liz's tongue -
[Doc] It's okay. At least something came out.
[Liz] -Blep- -Tongue is very cold- Why touch? -Retract tongue-
[Buff] It's too cute. I couldn't resist!
[Lie] Looks away, a bit ashamed-
[CP] Subtly takes her hand-
[Doc] Gets a healing potion for Deerheart instead. - Here you go love.
[Buff] Loudly crunching toast-
[Lie] Looks over at CP- Can we...  Can we go see where we live?
[CP] - Absolutely
[Liz] -Steals another pastry from Sky-
[Sky] You are definitely like your elder. -folds hands-
[TLOT and Steve] Are outside coming back from town. The repairs are all done and the Testificates filled in on what happened.
[Stevie] Is being dragged along since he was up most of the night repairing the wall-
[CP] Leads Lie outside-
[Steve] Pats Stevie - Thanks for helping. You really made a good impression. I think you can definetly expect a warmer welcome anytime you venture into town now.
[Stevie] Yawns- It's not the first time I've had to fix dragon damage
[TLOT] Well it was just an accident this time.
[Stevie] Yeah I know- He tenses a little when he see's CP
[TLOT] Sees Cp and Lie and gives them a small smile - Good morning.
[Steve] Waves-
[CP] Is so tempted to flip them off-
[Lie] - Hello
[HG] -zips by but notices the others and zips back to stop next to them-
[Lie] Is surprised by HG's sudden appearance and so takes a step behind CP-
[TLOT] Why the hurry Hg?
[HG] I just wanted to run around a water as many gardens as a I could to see if I could get them all but I can't seem to find any others at the moment
[Steve] That's really helpful Hg.
[Stevie] - Lie?  Are you okay?
[Lie] - Ummm...
[CP] - She doesn't have any memory Stevie, at least, not at the moment
[Stevie] - Wait, seriously?
[TLOT] Oh, Hg. I have something for you. Our cheerie tree gave up some seeds. The resulting plants will be glitchy and affect the seasons for a few blocks around them, but I thought you might like them anyway. - holds out a hand with two pink seeds. - Plant them close togeather.
[HG] -take the seeds- thank you tlot I have been making islands to get more plants so it should help with the seasons thing
[TLOT] They'll cycle randomly, so don't put them near anything that might die from a bit of snow.
[Steve] sadly - Still nothing Lie?
-Big ole bear just starts meandering after them. It's like, a bigass polar bear with darker fur on it's back and a set of flowers on it's neck. Flowers form underfeet as it wanders along to them-
[TLOT] Turns and then double takes- What the heck is that?!
[hg] -tries to water the water the bears flowers on it's neck-
[Flowey, but a bear] -Slight grin- ... ?? -Turns head to look at HG-
[Steve] Hg be careful!
[Lie] Shakes her head-
-Flower growth-
[TLOT] Essh....
[Flowey] -Shakes head, dislodging now too big flowers. A few new ones bloom and grow in the same spot.-
[Steve] Is that okay..? That looks like a bear?!
[CP] Just sort of goes fuck this shit and starts leading Lie off-
[TLOT] Is a little distracted but notices Lie's clothes haven't changed and the collar is still missing.
[Flowey] -Meanders up toward Steve-
[Stevie] - Brother where are you going?
[CP] - None of your fucking business
[Steve] Full body shiver-
[Lie] - Brother?
[TLOT] Moves to protect Steve if nessesary-
[Flowey] -Plops to sit infront of Steve in a very human manner-
[Steve] Looks nervous- Hi?
[hg] -tries to pet flowey-
[Flowey] -Wave paw-
[Steve] extremely quiet- help...
[Zly Wilk] - strolls up the path with his thumbs hooked into the pockes of his waistcoat, his long duster billowing out behind him like a cape. He pauses a little ways off as he takes in the scene before him with an amused grin. - ....huh.
[Flowey] -lean snout in-
[TLOT] Skeptical look at the bear-
[Flowey] Boo.
[Steve] EEK.
[CP] Snorts in amusement-
[TLOT] Probes the bears mind -
[CP] Gets closer to Zly while leading Lie-
[Flowey] -Snickering as he turns- -The mind is definitely Flowey, mostly just thinking about who to be a dick to next. A bit on the fringes involving his past and several attempted murders of Firebird, although the bird's name is different in the memories-
[Flowey] -Looks at HG, who is still petting him- ...
[Zly Wilk] - waves a hello to the couple. To Cp - So who brought the walking rug?
[CP] - I don't know, and I don't care
[HG] -is smiling because flowey is a bear covered in flowers-
[Flowey] -Content bear noises-
[TLOT] Aloud - Not nice Flowey. And be nice to Hg, you and him have some common powers.
[Zly Wilk] -shrugs- ah well.... Nothing would surprise me around here. Lie, going for a new look?
[Flowey] I could've licked him. I thought about it. -Nod nod-
[Lie] - Er...  Well...
[CP] - She was deleted and currently has no memories...
[TLOT] No licking. That's my job.
[Steve] Still a little shaken up-
[Flowey] Pretty sure  your licking is more downward than I was going to.
[TLOT] Snorts-
[Zly Wilk] -oh.... I'm so sorry. That's not easy to deal with.... I know first hand. - to Lie-  Just take things slow and remember you are amongst friends. It will get easier in time.
[Lie] - Thank you, I'm afraid I don't know who you are though
[HG] -doesn't know if flowey would like some of the water but because they are half plant hg overs some to drink-
[Flowey] ..., -slurp-
[TLOT] At Hg - You realize that's another Herobrine right? He's not really a bear or a plant.
[HG] oh -doesn't know how to respond any further then that-
[Zly Wilk] That's ok. We haven't seen much of eachother around anyway. I'm Zly, a fairly new arrival to the seed. Came here with almost total memory loss.... Well, more of a memory block... But same effect.
[Lie] - Oh, I see.  How did you get yours back?
[Flowey] -Slowly gets up and trots after where Lie went. Time to cause more mischief.-
[Zly Wilk] My companion, Lazur, found me and used a password to unlock them.
We ran from a rather bad situation, it's complicated.... but it was necessary that i not know who i was in order to escape undetected.
But even now, the accident that made me a Brine erased some memories I'm still slowly working on getting back.
[Lie] - I see, I hope your memories return completely soon
[Flowey] -Definitely not slinking up behind Lie. Nope. Not at all.-
[Zly Wilk] Thank you. I hope yours do as well.  CP, how are you holding up in this?
[CP] - None of your business
[Steve] He's a liar, he's just as upset as the rest of us.
[Flowey] -Ever so slowly leans up over Lie, opening mouth-
[CP] Angrily flips Steve off-
[Steve] Sticks his tongue out-
[Zly Wilk] yeah, that's my problem... Always getting involved in things i shouldn't. Cant help myself. - pats CP companionably on the shoulder -
[CP] Growls at Zly-
[Lie] - CP?  Are you okay?
[Flowey] -Breath heavily on Lie-
[TLOT] I think we all just need to calm down....
[Zly Wilk] oooooh. I forgot. 'No touchie!!!'  - makes a show of brushing off CP's shoulder and smoothing his shirt sleeve - better, big guy?
[CP] Lunges at Zly, ready to attack-
[Lie] Yelps in surprise and turns around quickly, her power spiking through the ground and causing thorny black vines to erupt from the ground around her-
[Flowey] -Chittering laughter as he jumps back a bit-
[TLOT] Is so shocked he turns into a squid and swats Steve away from the vines-
[HG] -runs behind a tree from the vines-
[Lie] - I'm sorry!
[Steve] Falls in the dirt- Ow!
[TLOT] Flails for a moment and changes back laying on the ground himself-
[Zly Wilk] - quickly dodges back out of the big Brine's grasp-
[CP] Chases after Zly, summoning his sword-
[TLOT] Make them go away Lie. Please?
[Lie] - I don't know how
[Steve] You have to want them to go away! No one else can control them!
[Flowey] -Noses head up by a vine curiously-
[Lie] - I'll try...
[Flowey] -Sniff-
-The sharp thorn digs into Flowey's nose-
[Zly Wilk] - summons his staff - EASY NOW... CP... We don't have to do this right now. -takes a defensive posture
-Angry bear noise, followed by immediate attempt to bite a vine cin half-
[CP] - Then stop fucking butting in!
[Lie] Her fear spikes a little and a pod begins forming-
[Steve] Scuttles backwards- Nooooo.
[TLOT] Flowey don't do that!
[Flowey] -Growling, looks back at TLOT, still bity biting-
-The pod forms completely and lunges at Flowey, biting at him-
[TLOT] Is ready for battle if it's needed-
[Flowey] -in true fashion, tries to bite the pod as it tries to bite him. Vines of his own form and jab at the pod too.-
[Zly Wilk] -small smile- Sorry, problem with being made to help is.... Yeah, you can't not try to help. Even if it causes you an ass kicking. Ok.... I'll butt out.
But honestly, CP... I've been exactly where you're wife is. If I can help at all get her back to you, I'd be willing to do what i can.
-The pod pumps it's lust creating venom into Flowey-
[Flowey] -Weaker bites, and a noise faintly similar to a whine-
[Zly Wilk] -looks behind CP at the chaos unfolding behind them - Uh..... Yeah... Good talk, but i think we best turn our attention to what the neither is going on back there....
[CP] Glances back- Oh for fucks sake
[TLOT] Flowey is in for a rather rough ride....

[BEN] - Oh face it, you and Jeff wanna fuck

[BEN] Growls darkly- Don't you lay a finger on Hyrule...
[liu] she has a right to be mad about being burnt
[BEN] - Yeah but it was years ago...  Are you even aware of how long you've been dead?
[liu] no not really just that it was a long time but she still has the right
[BEN] - You'll see what I mean eventually

[Jane] - Fuck this, I'm out of here
[liu] -follows jane-
[Jane] - Why are you still following me?
[liu] because I care about you
[Jane] - Well stop it, I need to think
[liu] are you sure you can stay at my place for now if you need to so you don't accidently get caught out in the dark when the mobs come
[Jane] - Positive...
[liu] then I will be heading back to my place -starts heading to his house-
[Jane] Heads towards the roots of the giant tree-
[Jeff] Enters the bar with Grinny, putting the cat on the counter- Something strong, now
[Sam] Obliges and hands Jeff a bottle of whiskey-
[Gk] Stirs from a shadow - Well look who came slinking back...
[Jeff] Scowls at GK- The fuck do you want?
[Gk]Nothing really. Though I am curious.... what's with the little naked cat in the sweater?
[Jeff] - That would be Grinny, and he normally has fur, but after that Damn Doctor got to him, the poisoning that was done to him started having an affect again
[Grinny] - Stupid LJ
[Gk] Ah. So another creepypasta cat. And that looks like the handiwork of a certain overly friendly Steve...
[Jeff] - I don't know, he was like this when  I got here
[Gk] Doesn't he talk or anything? Cp can at least write on stuff.
[Grinny] - That damn doctor made it so I could be understood
[Gk] Heh, sounds like a favor to me. You like drinking?
[Grinny] - No, I rather dislike the taste...  Unless it's wine
[Sam] Eyeridges go up.
[Gk] Wine? Don't it make you sick?
[Grinny] - No...  At least, it didn't...  I don't know about now...
[Gk] It's all free here if you wanna try.
[Sam] Looks at the cat curiously.
[Gk] Cp gets in the rumchata pretty frequently when he's in his cat shape.
[Grinny] - He could never pull off being a cat
[Gk] What, like behavior-wise? He seems to have the scratching the shit out of people down pat. He's also no stranger to peeing on people and things that anger him. If you listen close when he's happy he purrs too. Even in his human shape.
[Grinny] - Those are easy to replicate, our natural grace however, not so much
[Gk] Haha, yeah, he ain't too graceful. Unless he's making Sam nervous.
[Sam] Huffs-
[Gk] He likes to do shit like sashay around the bottles like he might knock em all down.
[Grinny] - And if he were a real cat, he would be knocking them down
[Gk] Shame! That's a waste of good shit. Red wine or white?
[Grinny] - Red
[Sam] Fusses around and pours a bit of red wine in a shallow bowl.
[Grinny] Sniffs at it before licking it- This will do
[Gk] Well Jeff? You gonna join us? Or just jet off again because you 'hate it here'
[Jeff] - That fucking bitch Jane is here
[Gk] Can't you talk about anything else? You're obsessed. It ain't healthy man.
[Jeff] - And why shouldn't I talk about the bitch?
[Gk] Why should you? Nothing going on in your life except talking about her?
[Jeff] - Well Slender hasn't been letting me out to kill recently...
[Gk] How come? You grounded fer not cleaning your room?
[Jeff] - It's because Insanity isn't there anymore...  He's worried that I'll die
[Gk] Dummy.... you won't, you'll just respawn here. And Doc ain't gonna stop you running right back out again if you want.
[Jeff] - Plus there's fucking Liu...
[Gk] So? Cp avoids his brother all the time. Seems to be a bad creepypasta habit.
[Jeff] - But Mine won't leave me alone
[Gk] Eh. Family is annoying. My brother pisses me off too.
[Jeff] - I can drink to that
[Gk] Cheers!  Know what I do about it?
[Jeff] - Kill him?
[Gk] No! I fucking hide here! This is a great place to go if you want to be left the fuck alone. You can always strike out and find total wilderness less then a days walk in any direction.
[Jeff] - Yeah I have no interest in that- Starts chugging his whiskey
[Gk] You would if your brother was a digital diety with a sadistic streak like mine fucking is....
[Jeff] Scoffs- Sounds like CP's father
[Gk] Huh? Oh! You don't know!
[Gk] Cp's dad wasn't the one that tried to scrag him. It was an imposter. Fucking Insanity actually prevented his real dad's girlfriend from saving him.
[Jeff] - Well that sounds like a complex story
[Gk] Takes a long drink - Yeah... his real dad died recently... seemed like a nice enough guy. Poor bastard.
[Jeff] - And this imposter?
[Gk] Grins horribly - Not dead yet. But he will be. The brines here sharpened their swords quite recently on TLOT's NOTCH. Obliterated him with a team effort.
[Jeff] - Can they erase a bitch for me?
[Gk] She just ain't that into you man. You need to wake up. Seriously.
[Jeff] - What makes you think I'm into her!?  I hate her guts!
[Gk] Then why are you talking about her again?
[Jeff] - Because I know she's around and I can't help it!
[Gk[ Obsess much?
[Jeff] - Shut up!  It's not like I feel guilty for what I did to her or anything...
[Gk] You should. Even I think it's a dick move. At least here if you set someone on fire they respawn with no lasting damage. You fuck somebody up like that in the real world...
[Jeff] - Hey!  I gave her her clothes, and wig...  and mask afterwards...
[Gk] Whoopty shit. That isn't any kind of apology, not that that would suffice anyway. I would have put you through a meat grinder.
[Jeff] - I gave her a new life...  She wasn't happy with her old one...  Any idiot could see that!
[Gk] Bullshit. This wasn't some agreement you made. Stop acting like it wasn't a crazy act. Selfish as hell too.
[Jeff] - Shut up!- He throws his bottle at GK
[Gk] Deflects the bottle and it shatters on the floor-
[Sam] Gives Jeff a hard look-
[Gk] Oh you wanna fight since I told you some shit you didn't wanna hear?
[Jeff] - I just... I just...  I didn't want to be alone...
[Gk] Tough shit. Most people don't wanna be alone, but that ain't the way to make friends.
[Jeff] - BE QUIET!
[Gk] Fuck you! I ain't some kid you can boss around. I'll roast your ass like a sausage. You need to grow the fuck up.
[Jeff] Lunges at GK-
[Gk] His hands burst into twin fireballs and he holds them up in Jeffs way. - How about a little fire for you asshole?
[Jeff] Immediately halts, his mind flashing back to when he was set on fire-
[Gk] Heh... It's not so fun on the recieving end huh? Now back the fuck off, or you'll regret it.
[Jeff] - Fuck you, it was fire that made me like this in the first place
[Gk] Then why the hell would you do it to someone else, you arrogant little shitstain?!
[Jeff] - So she'd be beautiful...  Like me
[Gk] You're delusional.
[Jeff] - What?  I'm fucking gorgeous!  Why wouldn't I want to share that?
[Gk] You're nuts... even without Insanity.
[Jeff] - Go to hell
[Gk] Idiot. That's where I was born.
[Jeff] Growls in frustration and heads for the door- Grinny, you coming or staying?
[Grinny] - I am quite content here
[Jeff] - Fine, whatever
[Gk] Huffs and snuffs out his hands - I didn't used to be much for defending the weak...but babysitting kids.... it changes everything.... Shit. If he set one of our little dragons on fire I'd, flay evey pixel of skin off his body and roast him alive.
[Sam] Nods in agreement-
[Grinny] - Ironically, he's better partnered up with Jane even though BEN is his partner
[Gk] That's probably just because they're similar pastas, it don't mean he gets to date her ass.
[Grinny] - They really do have a love hate relationship, we have a running bet as to when they'll fuck
[Gk] Okay, even I think that's gross. But then... I'm an ace too. I ain't into all that relationship and sexual shit.
[Sam] Scribbles on a sign and holds it up - She just needs to find someone who'll treat her better. Mal or fem or herm.
[Grinny] - As far as we can tell those two were sweet on each other before everything happened, but after being burned alive, bullied, watching family go to jail for them...  Well, shit happens
[Gk] Yeah... he's carrying a torch for something that's long since dead. Reminds me of fucking Steffan. People need to get over shit. Nobody owes them love.
[Grinny] - Oh?  So this makes me curious, what do you think of my brethren with mates?
[Gk] Eh. BEN and Aven seem to have a decent thing going. Cp and Lie.... well.... I feel like she deserves better. But it's kinda too late. She traded her freedom for Cp's hostages. So I'm just helping the others try to force him to be a decent husband. Knowing that if she punched him he'd probably lose his head helps motivate the affair as well.
[Grinny] - I see...  I saw how he was with her at the manor, it was far more protectiveness and emotion than I'd ever seen him show before
[Gk] He's improving, he just needs to get over his weird possessive thing. She's her own person, that's how it should be.
[Grinny] - That might be the pasta part of him, from what I've seen, all pasta's are very possessive of their mates for their mates safety.  If they were to show disinterest, the other pasta's might try to attack the mate
[Gk] Anyone who attacks her is in for a nasty shock even if he's not around... Herobrines, even weak brines, we're powerful. She's no exception.
[Grinny] - Interesting...- He stretches a little and yawns- Well if you ever want dirt on my housemates, do not hesitate to ask
[Gk] Haha awesome. I like a good gossip session! Blame Sweet Alex. She always knows way more then she lets on.
[Grinny] - I may have to visit her then
[Gk] Go for it, she loves cats,and she'll totally go bananas over your cute little sweater. Her house is the purple one and she'll always feed strays...hah, myself included.
[Grinny] - Duly noted, but for now, a nap is in order
[Sam] Gives Grinny a gentle scratch around the ears with hir bony fingers
[Gk] Sounds good to me. - Flops in a booth -
[Sam] Discrete eyeroll
[Grinny] Hisses at Sam-
[Sam] Is used to this and goes for the chin scratch instead.
[Grinny] Tries biting- STOP THAT!
[Sam] Chuckles and backs off to go polish the other end of the bar.

Roleplay Server log #184
“Shopping Spoils, Baff Time, Mb vs BEN”
[Gk] Comes walking up. - Hey Doc... according to the tag this is your cat. He was sleepy and I saw you come in, so I brought him back.
[Doc] That was nice of you, thank you.
[Gk] Hey Cp. Have fun out in the big wide high-res yonder?
[CP] - It was annoying this time around
[Gk] Oh, so you ran into some friends?
[Doc] giggles-
[CP] - Not exactly
[Doc] Slenders actually, three at once. But thankfully all in relatively chill moods.
[Gk] Hence you coming back with Cp not via respawn. Heh!
[CP] - Hey GK, we have something for you to try, Doc's going to try it too
[Gk] I'm suspicious of that....
[CP] Pulls out two of the peppers- One for each of you.  They're not the spiciest there is so you'll be fine
[Gk] From one griefer to another... no. You forget, I've spent time in the multiverse. - Hands the cat to Doc. - Have fun.
[CP] - Your loss
[Gk] Mmmhm.... - heads off into the woods.
[Doc] Is holding Grinny with a suspicious look.
[CP] - Your mate is waiting for you
[Doc] Moves Grinnny to hir shoulder and picks up the bags with hir free hand-Can you open the door at least? I can't phase this stuff or Grinny through the wall.
[CP] - Fine- He goes and kicks the door open since his own hands are full
[Doc] Heads down and towards the kitchen- Love, I brought company!
[Deer] - Oh lovely!  Hello CP.  TLOT and Steve just stepped out to grab some more ingredients for dinner
[Doc] Sets Grinny down on the table and starts fussing around the bags and hir inventory. - I got a bunch of oddball things and Trender gave me the stuff on my list too. Look at this. I can make a new mob- Shows Deerheart the cage with the mouse.
[Deer] - It's so tiny!
[Doc] They're a natural prey for cats, So I'll be really sparing and not let them run amok.
[Grinny] His ears flick as he hears the mouse-
[Doc] This is for you, I realize the irony. But I thought you'd think it was cute. - Xe pulls out the umbrella with the smiling cloud and demonstrates it for her.
[Deer] - What is it?
[Doc] You put it over your head when it's raining to stay dry.
[Deer] - Oh, that's creative!
[Doc] I got a new plant too. The pot it's in seems to be made of dirt as well! - Sets the lavender on the counter.
[Deer] - That smell, it reminds me of Lie's calming flower
[CP] - It's one of the ones she based it off of
[Doc] But the whole thing smells, not just the flowers. Isn't it odd?
[Deer] - Yes, it is
[CP] Just shakes his head-
[TLOT] Comes back up from the direction of the lab with Steve following- I see you shaking your head. What's the problem now?
[Steve] Hi Cp!
[CP] Puts his bags on the counter- Their fascination with rather common things
[TLOT] They're only common for you because you lived out there.
[CP] - Whatever, pepper?
[Steve] What's that noise?
[TLOT] I already fetched it, here- Presses a jar of black flakes into Cp's open hand.
[CP] - Not that kind of pepper- Holds up the ghost pepper
[Steve] Is examining the mouse cage- It's so small. And it kinda sounds like the baby dragons.
[TLOT] It's not normal for you to offer someone else food...
[CP] - I'm bored, that's why
[TLOT] Skeptical face -
[Doc] Why did you want me to try this again?
[CP] - You didn't have a proper word to describe what my lightning tastes like.  I think the word you wanted was spicy, so, this is spicy so you'll know what spicy is
[Doc] Takes the pepper and hesitates before taking a bite of it. There's a moment of pregnant silence-
[CP] A grin splits across his face-
[Doc] Turns rather red and starts crying - OOOOOOOWWWWWWWW
[TLOT] Has a rather angry look-
[Doc] MAKE IT STOP
[TLOT] If you just poisoned Doc....
[CP] - What?  I didn't give hir the spiciest one out there...  And must we make it stop?  And no, I didn't poison them
[Doc] Drops everything and runs up the steps-
[Deer] - CP FIX THIS!
- The door bangs open and closed upstairs before they have a chance to react-
- / Admin server command initiated_execute InfamousDoctorF /-
-There's a huge crash of lightning above them -
[TLOT] Growls- Cp....
[CP] Is snickering- Well that's a little over dramatic, a bottle of milk would have fixed it
[Deer] - CP I swear, I will make your life hell
[Doc] Comes back down the stairs- You're evil...
[CP] - I know, I'm a brine
[Doc] So am I. So's he. So what? That was really mean-spirited.
[CP] - Really?  Because I found it very entertaining
[Deer] Sighs- Should we get Lie to catify him?- She snags the black pepper out of CP's hand so she can keep cooking
[Doc] No he'd just go pee on something to get me back. I don't need any more aggravation today.
[TLOT] Is peeking in the bags Doc threw down- Hmmmm
[CP] Is feeling rather smug at the moment-
[Steve]Hands Deerheart the salt as well.
[Deer] - Thank you Steve
[Steve] You're welcome. What does the squeaky thing eat?
[CP] - Various things, seeds, fruit, vegetables
[TLOT] whispers over the chat - Hey Lie? You should come over, I think Cp has something to show you.
[Lie] - Oh, um, okay?
[Yaunfen] Is trying to climb up onto the counter to sniff at the mouse-
[Steve] Offers some wheat seeds to the mouse and watches it nibble them. - Hey Yaunfen. - Scratches between their horns-
[Yaunfen] Squeaks and loses concentration as they slide back onto the floor-
[Steve] Reaches out to catch them and put them on the counter.
[Yaunfen] Sniffs the cage-
[Doc] And for your information, no. Your energy does not taste like pure agony. I can't believe that even qualifies as a food item.
[CP] Shrugs- Eh, there are milder ones
[TLOT] Copied the jar Cp is holding and put it away-
[CP] Stretches a little- Well, if I'm not needed here anymore...
[TLOT] Oh no, you should stay. Lie's already headed over. I was talking to her earlier.
[CP] - About what?
[TLOT] Oh, just things. Nothing you'd be interested in.
[CP] Looks at TLOT very suspiciously-
[Doc] Makes some copies of the huge box of chocolates and pulls one out. - Deerheart? Cp told me about something neat. A human holiday called Valentine's day, it's for showing your mate that you love them. I brought you a tradional gift- Offers the heart-shaped box.
[TLOT] I like the sound of that.
[Steve] What's in it?
[Deer] - It looks like our hearts!
[Doc] I know! It's weird.
[CP] - That particular one has chocolates
[Doc] It says there's nuts and fruit whips in there too. Open it!
[Deer] Opens the box- Of, these smell interesting...  And there's a diagram?
[Doc] They're all different shapes too.
[Deer] Takes one and tastes it- Mm!  Delicious!  Try one love!
[Doc] Finds one with sticky carmel in it. - Mmmm! You guys can have some too. I copied the whole box already, here. - Xe sets another box on the table
[Lie] - TLOT?  Where are you?
[CP] Perks a little at his mates voice, forgetting about the bags he put down-
[TLOT] In the kitchen, and we have chocolates!
[Lie] Comes down- Sorry, but I'll have to pass on those
[TLOT] I wasn't sure...
[Doc] You could have some of this maybe, there's some plain pieces. -Sets down a copy of the cheesecake box- Sorry to thwart you when you're cooking love.
[Lie] - Oh!  Cheesecake!
[Deer] - The food will keep in trunks
[TLOT] And Cp has a suprise for you....
[CP] - I what?
[TLOT] Perhaps it's also a Valentine's thing?
[CP] - I DO NOT!
[Lie] - Oh, is it almost Valentines day out there then?
[TLOT] Force equipts the harness and posing pouch on under Cp's clothes.
[Doc] You got Lie a suprise Cp?
[CP] Is surprised- FUCK!
[Lie] Is confused-
[TLOT] Makes an evil face, - give him a nice big hug Lie.
[Doc] Is also confused-
[Lie] - Okay?- She approaches her husband and her eyes narrow as she gets closer, noting the bumps from the straps- CP?  What is that?
[TLOT] Just a little something to hang on to while riding...
[Lie] Turns scarlet-
[Doc] Oh yeah! We went to a sex shop. They had lots of neat stuff. Did you wear something back Cp? That's kinky as hell.
[CP] - NO!  I DIDN'T!  I would say I don't know where it came from but we did run into Offender...
[Doc] And Trender and Solace....
[TLOT] I guess it went okay since neither of you are hurt.
[CP] - FUCKING NETHER WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU PUT ON ME!?
[TLOT] It was in your bag. And obviously too big for Doc or Deerheart. Plus the banana hammock wouldn't do anything for Deerheart or Lie. So it's gotta be yours.
[CP] - Doooooooc....
[Doc] I did nothing! You saw what I bought, I grabbed it right in front of you and Offender.
[CP] - I don't completely believe that
[Doc] Hmmph. That's not my problem. Offender bought your stuff.
[TLOT] A Slender bought Cp some sex toys? That's both icky and generous.
[CP] Growls- Fuck this!- He starts walking off a little awkwardly to find a place to remove the items-
[TLOT] Better go after him Lie. It looked pretty sexy in the bag at least.
[Lie] - Ah...  But...
[TLOT] Go quick so you can see at least. He won't move too fast with that G-string-
[Lie] - G-string!?
[TLOT] Makes a shooing motion at her - Go!
[Lie] Follows CP as he goes down into the lab- CP?
[CP] Many grumbled curses as he works on removing the equipment-
[Lie] - CP, there are buckles on the back
[CP] - Then fucking undo them!  Fucking piece of shit harness crap!
[Lie] - Hang on- She approaches him, certainly appreciating the sight of her mates well muscled body before working on the buckles- So, Valentines day is soon?
[CP] - Yeah, I fucking hate that holiday
[Lie] - We don't have to do anything for it if you don't want to
[CP] - That would probably be for the best...
[Lie] Loosens the last buckle and lets the piece fall to the floor- I understand, don't worry about me either, okay?
[CP] - Done- He quickly tosses off the G-string as well before turning to face his mate and cups her face- I will apologize to you though if the others bombard you with questions about it
[Lie] - I don't mind
[CP] - Are you sure?
[Lie] - Positive
[Grinny] Yawns and stretches a little-
[Doc] Aww, hey Grinny. GK brought you back over here after you passed out.
[Grinny] - Not necessary
[Doc] I bought some cat toys while I was out...
[Grinny] - I hate those things
[Doc] Oh. Well LH will play with his at least. I got a big rawhide bone for your buddy Smile too.
[Grinny] - Oh joy
[Doc] Soldiers on- And Trender gave me a mouse...
[Grinny] Ear flick-
[Doc] Turns away to look at the little cage. - I'm going to make it a new mob since so many of us have cats...
[Steve] Oh, cool.
[Grinny] - And I should care why?
[snake] -kazooing is hear as snake tumbles down the stairs then sees everyone as he reaches the bottom- oh hello everyone
[Deer] - Oh, hello Snake
[Doc] You are a cat? I know you like to kill things. Insanity or no. I'm suprised you haven't been out murdering rabbits already.
[Grinny] - To cold
[TLOT] Looks over the table- Snake? Did you get lost again?
[Doc] Oh. I'm sorry. Are you still itchy? You look a bit fuzzier.
[Grinny] Hisses-
[snake] nope I was just exploring again so anything new -slithers over to tlot-
-Lie and CP return and CP immediately throws the equipment at TLOT's face as hard as he can-
[Lie] - CP why
[TLOT] Catches the tangle deftly and turns it back on Cp. Re-equpiting it - That wasn't enough time. Try again. Go worship your queen in the manner she deserves.
[CP] - YOU FUCKER WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
[snake] well cp being angry is the same
[TLOT] Well I was going to let it go and just bitch at you later, but you decided to throw it at me.
[CP] - STOP FUCKING PUTTING THIS SHIT ON ME!
[Doc] I brought in some new foods Snake, and this little mouse.
[snake] is it on the table because I can't see it i'm too short?
[TLOT] Makes a shooing motion- Go play. Come back when Lie is satisfied. Then you can play with the rest of the stuff in here, which unless you have some really deep secrets from me, has to be for her.
[Doc] Picks up Snake and puts him on the counter next to Yaunfen and the cage.
[CP] - I'M GOING TO GO FUCKING THROW THIS SHIT INTO THE FUCKING LAVA POOL!
[TLOT] Makes a little hand movement that Cp knows is a wheel click.
[CP] - You fucker!
[snake] -looks into the cage- hello little mouse -notices the box of chocolates- why is there a valentine's day box of chocolates?
[TLOT] Makes a show of examining his nails and blowing on his fist as if to say 'yep' - I'm a brine.
[CP] Is growling and ready to lunge at TLOT-
[Lie] - TLOT really, this isn't necessary...- Lie is red with embarrassment at just the thought of what TLOT wants CP to do
[Doc] I got it for Deerheart, but there's enough for everyone. I made lots of copies. If you have an inventory I can give you one to take home.
[TLOT] Sits down casually and puts his gold boots on the edge of the table- Don't do it.
[CP] - I will murder you
[TLOT] Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to get you laid, stupid.
[CP] Growls-
[snake] I don't have a inventory but gem would love one because it's chocolates I bet I could try and carry it home well try steps will be hard.
[Doc] Are you sure? Even the mobs usually have a slot or two. Maybe you don't know how to use it?
[snake] well I am only two inches tall an made of mist
[Lie] - TLOT, you do realize he's just don't this to spite you now, right?
[CP] Is giving TLOT death glares-
[TLOT] Then he's just being dumb and not hurting anyone but himself.
[Lie] - Besides, I told Stevie i'd watch Notch for a bit so he and CP can have a break, plus I need to work with the new vulpix some more...- She is clearly making excuses
[TLOT] Gives her a skeptical look as well- Okay Lie... it's up to you. I was just trying to help. - He pushes the bag towards her across the table. Have your stuff. It looks like Cp was planning for a rather exciting Valentine's Day.
[Doc] Shrugs at Snake. - Do you want me to check?
[snake] sure if you would like
[CP] Growls again- I didn't choose anything in that bag.  That one- Motions towards Doc- Conversed with Offender about it
[Doc] If you don't have one I could probably set you up with one slot?
[TLOT] Doc? You actually had a civil talk with Offenderman?
[snake] I would love a slot if you could give me one
[Lie] Turns bright red as she looks in the bag-
[Doc] We were talking about sex toys... Oh! Sure. Give me a min-
[CP] Gives TLOT snippets of the conversation-
[Doc] Pulls out hir command block and starts fiddling around.-  Geeze...  Okay, I can give you one. You just don't have enough pixels for more then that.
[TLOT] Why were you so pissed off while they were talking Cp?
[CP] - Because she doesn't need anything other than me...
[Steve] Why so insecure Cp? You're a huge guy and Doc said-
[Doc] Shut up.
[Steve] Shutting up.
[CP] - Dooooooooc
[Doc] Is busy and ignores him-
[CP] - I will murder all of you
[TLOT] Are we back to that?
[snake] but I didn't do anything
[Lie] - CP, please calm down.  There's no need for blood
[Doc] Makes a very tiny ball of code and offers it on the tip of one finger. It's a staticky pompom smaller then a pixel - Here you go, it will dissolve when you take it, that's normal -
[snake] -takes the ball of code and it disappears in his tiny arms-
[Steve] Comes back to the table and gives Grinny a scratch around the head and ears-
[CP] Teleports down to the lava pool to dispose of the force equipped items on him-
[Doc] Is moving hir fingers on the block- Just kinda do this - Makes a little gesture - and it should pop whatever you have out or suck it in.
[TLOT] Sorry Lie.
[Lie] - Why are you apologizing?  You didn't do anything wrong
[TLOT] I don't want to pressure you, but his attitude is a bit annoying. You deserve to be able to pleasure yourself if you want.
[snake] -claps his hand- thank you doc
[Doc] You're welcome Snake. Try hoovering up the unopened chocolate box, I bet it will look funny too.
[Lie] - Heh, well, I'm not sure how good it would feel considering I have him instead.  Plus I haven't used one in so long too
[snake] -does the gesture on the box and it goes into the slot- yay it worked!
[TLOT] Meh. I guess it depends on how attentive he is to your pleasure vs his own. I hope he's not selfish in bed.
[Lie] - Oh no!  Not at all!- Is turning a darker shade of red
[Doc] There you go. And it will stay that temp too. So no worries about melting if its hot out.
[Lie] Her thoughts flash back to the last time she and CP had sex and how much rope was involved-
[snake] -is so happy he starts making kazoo noises and slithering around Yaunfen and the mouse cage-
[TLOT] Ah... I see. Though I still think he should take a turn being the helpless one from time to time.
[Lie] - Ah!  I'm...  Really not good at being dominant.  I'm sure Doc's told you how much they had to walk me through it...
[Doc] Hmm? Well.... it was fun to watch... I think you could learn.
[Deer] - I wouldn't mind seeing you being dominant Lie.  I've seen you do it with your horses
[Lie] - Deer!
[Doc] Laughs - You are quite the bossy boots with them. You go into a kind of mode we don't usually see.
[TLOT] Is chuckling at the idea of Cp dolled up like a stallion with harnesses and a saddle and shoots the image to her-
[Lie] Literally crouches down in embarrassment-
[Deer] - Come on Lie, show him that side
[Doc] You could if you wanted too. I understand it's your defiance that drew him too you in the first place.
[Lie] Muffled embarrassed noises-
[CP] Senses his mates discomfort and teleports back up now that he's free of the items-
[TLOT] Makes a whinnying noise-
[Doc] Turns red trying not to laugh-
[Steve] PFFFT.
[Lie] Mentally shouting- TLOT NOT HELPING!
[TLOT] Just smiles and turns to the bigger brine, with a honeyed voice- we love you Cp.
[CP] Flips TLOT off before crouching down next to his mate to check on her-
[Doc] Starts scanning the mouse since xe already has the command block out - I wonder what it should taste like?
[CP] - Bloody
[Doc] That's it?
[Lie] Just kinda slumps over to lean against CP, still hiding her face-
[Doc] Turns to Grinny- Are you awake?
[Grinny] Grumbles-
[Doc] What does a mouse taste like? Just blood?
[Grinny] - A bit of fur, kinda similar to rabbit
[Doc] I can do that... - Xe pulls up the creative and sets a rabbit spawn egg on the block as well.
[snake] -is trying to climb on top of the mouse cage-
[CP] Rubs Lie's back and  mumbles soothing things to her-  So the fuck were you guys doing to make her like this?
[TLOT] She's just embarassed. And it's silly. We're all friends here. And most of us have seen at least half the room naked.
[Lie] Long embarrassed noise-
[snake] I am always naked
[Deer] - I usually am to
[Doc] Fashions a super tiny item from bits of the rabbit code, Its only four pixels and two of them are red. The other two are shades of brown. Xe makes a couple of copies and offers one to Grinny- See if that's accurate. At least sniff it.
[Grinny] Bites down, aiming for Doc's fingers as well-
[TLOT] You're very comfortable with yourself Deerheart. I admire that.
[Deer] - Now if only somebody else would be...
[Lie] More noises-
[Doc] Yipes! - Xe gets a bit of a compression nip from the cats humaniod teeth and one of the red pixels gives a wet squelch as it's bitten into.
[Grinny] - Eh, close enough
[Doc] Yow... Okay... Sassy cat..... - Xe turns back and mixes the mouse code with the item. - This will be the item drop, I'll call it a morsel. Just so it's identifiable in an inventory -The codes form into a small white and brown egg-
[Steve] Oh! Make one!
[TLOT] I'll nab it if it looks like it's going to escape.
[snake] -is trying to get down from the counter to meet the mouse friend that will be made but he can't-
[Doc] Makes a small stack and taps the table beside Grinny. A little pixelated mouse spawns in and freezes for a second-
[CP] Has calmed Lie down enough that she isn't as red in the face anymore and is showing her face again-
[Doc] Snake, you should stay here. Grinny might attack you
[Grinny] Waits for it to run off just to annoy Doc with a mouse running lose in hir house-
[snake] but i'm not tasty
[TLOT] Shifts into his cat form, his pupils are super dilated as his tail tip twitches ever so slightly-
[CP] Gets Lie into a chair at the table, continuing to murmur things to her-
[Grinny] Glares at TLOT- Not amusing
[TLOT] Is creeping across the table and suddenly pounces nabbing the mouse with one huge paw and knocking the bag of toys off the table with his tail. Most of the contents fall in Lie's lap.
[Lie] Returns to being super embarrassed, especially as the butt plug rolls onto the floor, the tail flopping onto the ground as well-
[TLOT] Sorry Lie! - He's got the mouse in between two of his toes- Man... it's only got half a heart. So tiny....
[Doc] A good swat will dispatch it. I don't want them overrunning the place.
[CP] Creates a ball of fire in his hand as he prepares to destroy the butt plug-
[TLOT] Rolls over a bit to see what fell out and he's clicking furiously to save it all - Some of the copied items pop back out of his inventory because it was too full and now there are several copies of each thing on the table and floor- Dammit!
[Lie] Hides face again-
[Deer] - Oooh, some of those look fun
[Doc] Agreed. I bought some stuff too, but....
[Deer] - You got me stuff?  Do tell~
[CP] Kicks the sex toys away from Lie-
[hyrule] baff
[BEN] - No! Never!
[hyrule] wa-er baff
[BEN] - NUUUUUUUUUUUU
[BEN] - AVEN! OUR KIDS IS EVEN MORE BROKEN!
[aven] he isn't broken hejust doesn't have hydrophobia like us he never got it
[BEN] - IT'S WRONG!

[BEN] Is now broken-
[aven] -to mock a little bit- do you want to give hyrule a baff baff

[BEN] - FUCK NO! NO BATHS!
[aven] but hyrule wants a baff baff
[BEN] Elongated distressed noise-
[aven] would you rather gem give hyrule the baff baff
[BEN] Hisses-
[hyrule] wa-er baff baff!
[BEN] - Over my dead body
[aven] do you want to take a lava baff baff with me ben?
[BEN] - Not funny
[aven] I think it's both very funny and adorable
[BEN] - No it's not! Water hurts...
[aven] -only if we are not careful and it's Minecraft he is safe here
[BEN] - No.... Just.... No water
[hyrule] baff baff!
[BEN] - Hyrule... No
[hyrule] baff baff
[BEN] Groans- Why don't we go for a ride instead?- Heads out the door with Hyrule
[aven] wait for me ben -follows after them-
[BEN] Saddles up a horse, missing Epona some, he's still holding Hyrule-
[aven] -gets on one of the other horses ready to follow after
[BEN] Climbs up- Alright Hyrule, let's go for a ride- He urges the house onwards
[hyrule] -giggles as wind goes through his hair everything they pass water he says wa-er-
[aven] -is right behind ben and hyrule-
[BEN] - Hyrule please, enough of that
[hyrule] baff baff
[BEN] Just keeps riding-
[BEN] - Hmmm, where to go...
[aven] the bar?
[BEN] - No, I don't feel like drinking right now...
[aven] we could go bug someone.
[BEN] - Like who?
[aven] i don't know cp doc lie someone.
[BEN] - Didn't CP and Doc go out?
[aven] i though i saw them come back in in chat
[BEN] - Oh, guess I missed that
[aven] maybe you where to busy dealing with hyrules need for a baff baff
[BEN] - Shut it
[aven] -laughs at ben's reaction-
[aven] so should we check if they are in the castle or at cp and lie's
[BEN] - My bet is on the castle since they have someone sick at CP's
[aven] then lets go -heads towards the castle trying to beat ben there-
[BEN] - HEY! NO FAIR! I'M HOLDING THE BABY!
[aven] -giggles and slows down a little so she stays ahead of ben but in his sight-
[BEN] Puts on a burst of speed and overtakes Aven-
[aven] -laughs before getting her horse to do a full gallop to get back to being neck and neck-
[hyrule] -is giggling as they go-
-They race towards the castle and it ends up being a tie-
[aven] -leads her horse into the horse pen before dismounting-
[BEN] Follows suit before cooing at Hyrule a little-
[hyrule] -is grabbing a handful of ben's tunic-
[BEN] Replaces the tunic with a finger-
[hyrule] -wiggles ben's finger-
[BEN] - Yeah, that's my little boy
[aven] -kisses ben's cheek before kissing hyrule's-
[BEN] - Come on, let's see what they brought back this time
[aven] which room do you think they will be in?
[BEN] - Kitchen is usually a good bet
[aven] then keep up -heads down into the kitchen-
[BEN] Rolls his eyes and follows-
[aven] -sees all the sex toys on the floor- what is going on in here
[Deer] - Oh hello Aven, BEN
[hyrule] wa-er baff baff!
[CP] Snickers-
[BEN] - No Hyrule
[aven] hello deer. ben hyrule likes baff baffs.
[Deer] - Aw, he has a second word now?
[aven] yea water and bath.
[Deer] - How adorable!
[aven] it is but ben hates it.
[BEN] - Is wrong!
[aven] we do say water and bath a lot so hyrule picked up those words faster
[BEN] Groans-
[aven] hyrule when he is older will love baff baffs
[BEN] Turns Hyrule away from Aven- No
[aven] he will want one every day
[hyrule] -reaches for aven- baff baff
[BEN] - Shhhh, you don't know what your talking about Hyrule
[hyrule] baff baff!
[BEN] - Shhhhhh, no
[hyrule] BAFF BAFF!
[BEN] - No, baths are bad
[hyrule] -starts sniffling- baff baff
[TLOT] I sense impending tears.... Please just bathe the baby. - Is still in cat form and holding the mouse as he lays on the table.
[BEN] - No!  Water is bad!
[hyrule] -starts to cry- wa-er baff baff
[Steve] Please don't cry Hyrule...
[hyrule] -is still crying- baff baff
[Doc] I think you're going to have to bite the bullet eventually BEN...
[aven] -tries to take hyrule from ben-
[BEN] - I refuse to touch water!- He pulls away from Aven, refusing to let go of his son
[TLOT] But he's crying, doesn't that bother you?
[Steve] Yeah, it's not like he wants something unreasonable
[BEN] - OF COURSE IT DOES!
[hyrule] -is still crying and trying to get to aven-
[BEN] Shush's at Hyrule before floating up towards the ceiling-
[hyrule] -won't stop crying- baff baff
[TLOT] Sighs- BEN.... just give him what he wants, he's only a baby. He'll just cry and cry until you do it.
[BEN] Whines-
[CP] - Do I need to pull him down?
[aven] ben give me hyrule
[BEN] - No
[TLOT] I'm not going to do it. Not after he freaked out so badly last time.
[Steve] Yeah, everyone got hurt.
[Doc] Just sits down with hir elbows on the counter. - Hello Yaunfen.
[CP] Clears throat- BEN, look up
{BEN] Does so, shrieks, and rockets as quickly as he can to the floor-
[hyrule] -is still crying- wa-er
[TLOT] Shows how distracted he was.
[snake] -climbs on to doc's shoulder-
[Yaunfen] Walks to the edge of the counter to get a better look-
[Grinny] - Heh, idiot
[aven] -tries to take hyrule from ben-
[BEN] Curls around his son-
[aven] please ben give me hyrule I don't want him to keep crying
[BEN] - He'll calm down in a little bit...
[hyrule] -is crying and squirming in ben's arms-
[Doc] Gives Snake a pat with two fingers so as not to knock him down-
[Steve] Looks really distressed- Make him stop please-
[TLOT] Steve... just go if you can't take it.
[snake] -his head scrunches down a little as he is pat-
[Steve] Thank you. -Leaves the room
[BEN] Hums Zelda's lullabye-
[hyrule] -is still crying the humming is helping at all-
[BEN] - You wanna go for another ride?  You were giggling all throughout that...
[TLOT] Lets the mouse go and it skitters across the table towards Lie
[hyrule] baff baff baff baff
[Doc] Give Yaunfen a hug - Just bathe the poor child. I know you don't want to.
[Lie] Catches it before it can completely run off- Hey there little one
[BEN] - No...  No water
[Mouse] Has barely any programming and just makes a small squeak-
[Lie] Holds it in her hands, petting it-
[aven] please just give me hyrule so we can bathe him he want it so badly he has been saying it nonstop since he figured out how to say bath
[BEN] - No, you can't make me
[TLOT] You know it's important when it means they learn a new word-
[BEN Whines-
[hyrule] -is still crying- baff baff baff baff
[BEN] - Hyrule please...
[CP] - BEN...  Do I need to get LJ and Jeff?
[BEN] - Don't you dare!
[aven] if they can help please get them cp
[CP] Sends out a quick mental burst for them.  After a few moments LJ teleports in with Jeff-
[LJ] - OH BENNY BOY~
[BEN] - FUCK NO!- He starts running off
[hyrule] -is still crying in ben's arms-
[Doc] Turns to Deerheart- It always something isn't it?
[Deer] - Indeed it is
[Yaunfen] - Burp!
[aven] -puts her head in her hands-
[Doc] What? Did you say something?!
[Yaunfen] - Burp!
[TLOT] Their first word is burp?
[BEN] Is quickly caught by Jeff and LJ manages to get Hyrule out of BEN's arms-  NO!  LJ I WILL MURDER YOU GIVE HIM BACK!
[LJ] - Here we go!  One baby!
[TLOT] Good job?
[aven] thank you
[CP] - You've gotten rusty BEN!
[Doc] Awww. I'm proud of you Yaunfen. A first word is a first word. No matter what it is.
[TLOT] Just be gentle LJ. He's awfully tiny
[Yaunfen] - BURP! BURP! BURP!
[LJ] - I've been around kids for how long?
[Deer] Giggles and then smooches Yaunfen's snout-
[aven] may I please have him LJ?
[TLOT] Kids yes, but babies?
[LJ] - Yeah, sure. And yes, many of my victims would have baby siblings which I'd go and make laugh
[Jeff] Is just sitting on BEN, ignoring his partner's protests-
[aven] -take hyrule- I guess it's time for a bath
[BEN] - NUUUUUUUUUUU!
[hyrule] -is slowly starting to calm down because he heard he is getting a bath-
[TLOT] Oh, okay. I know the pastas have problems with fertility so I wasn't sure.
[aven] -is trying to set the water in the sink up for the bath but is panicing slightly at the water-
[Lie] - Aven?  Is everything okay?
[aven] I still dealing with my hydrophobia
[Doc] It's a process- Lays down some towels and pulls out the bone meal for when shes done.
[Lie] - Do you want me to help?
[aven] yes please -takes out a clean diaper she has from her inventory and puts it with everything else-
[Lie] Steps away from CP and approaches Hyrule- Hi Hyrule, are you ready for a splashy splashy bath?
[TLOT] Hops down from the table and blocks BEN's view. He focuses on sending the angry pasta calming thoughts.
[hyrule] -his crys have turned into calming down sniffles- baff baff
[Lie] Tests the temperature of the water and finding it suitable she picks Hyrule up and carefully lowers him down into the water-
[hyrule] -splashes in the bath- wa-er baff baff
[Lie] - Yes, that's right!- She gently splashes some water onto him to start cleaning him
[hyrule] -giggling and clapping his hands-
[CP] Watches how his wife interacts with the baby-
[BEN] - JEFF FUCKING LET ME UP!
[Jeff] - Dude, your lucky LJ and I aren't trying to give you a bath right now!
[TLOT] Yeah, you are a little stinky- Gives him a whisker tickle sniffing his face-
[aven] -splashes a little water over hyrule before promptly freeing out a little-
[Jeff] - This was the usual arrangement when it came to his bath time, it was LJ's and I's job usually
[Lie] - It's okay Aven, don't push yourself too hard
[aven] thank you for helping  lie
[Lie] - Your welcome, you know, currently I can't have kids
[aven] really why?
[Lie] - I had my ovaries removed since as a cat there's a higher chance of me becoming pregnant.  I've accidentally regrown them once already since I apparently can do that as a brine
[Doc] You're just generally good at growing things. Plus it's a removed organ, your body wants to heal anything you lose.
[aven] well lets hope if you ever do have a kid it doesn't have you fighting over something you have to do for them like me and ben have to do over baths
[Lie] - Honestly I think the biggest problem would be getting the kid away from CP
[Doc] I think the conflict will be how over-protective Cp will get...
[CP] - Why is this being discussed?
[aven] ben is very protective of hyrule as well maybe that's a nature in creepypastas
[Lie] - Well that certainly proves true of the mates...
[hyrule] -is happily splashing in the bath-
[Doc] It'll be an issue eventually Cp. Without your Insanity you are fertile. Doubly so for being a brine.
[TLOT] So glad I'm gay. - Rolls over to show his belly
[Lie] Cups some water in her hand and pours it over his head to wash his hair-
[CP] Glares at Doc-
[Mouse] bolts again, this time over Grinnys tail.
[Grinny] Resists the urge to attack the mouse-
[hyrule] -is giggling happily- wa-er baff baff
[Mouse] Tries to run into the open part of Grinnys sweater-
[Grinny] Hisses and attacks-
[Lie] Boops Hyrules nose-
[Mouse] Poofs as it's hit- Leaving a morsel behind.
[Grinny] Swats the morsel onto the ground-
[hyrule] -giggles and grasps lies finger-
[Lie] Let's him hold it- Damn I need to be careful...  I don't need my ovaries forming right now...
[TLOT] Curiously snags the morsel and puts it away-
[CP] - Can we stop the baby talk?
[aven] -tickles hyrule's tummy making him giggle-
[TLOT] Well we were talking about sex, but you got mad...
[CP] - Right, I need to burn these things- Creates a ball of fire in his hand
[Lie] - Aven, do we have any shampoo?
[Doc] No soap!
[TLOT] Scampers around sucking them up into his inventory before Cp can wreck them- You're no fun at all.
[CP] - You fucker!
[BEN] - HYRULE NO!
[TLOT] Bite me. If you won't use something you don't get to be pissed about someone else having it.
[Doc] BEN, for once you and I agree on something.
[CP] - THEY AREN'T NECESSARY!
[lie] - So we aren't using anything to clean his hair?
[TLOT] Ugh.... you are so insecure.
[aven] no just water
[Doc] Huffs- Warm water is fine.
[Lie] - Alright then, guess that means we're done here
[CP] - I AM NOT!
[Doc] At Lie-  I had this discussion with Cp earlier. I'm intentionally keeping soaps and detergents off the server. They're a pollutant and most of us can bathe in lava anyway. Everyone if you count using magma creams first.
[Lie] - I see, okay then- She picks Hyrule up out of the water and places him on the towel
[aven] I don't want hyrule near lava till he is a lot older -helps dry hyrule off-
[BEN] Is whimpering-
[Deer] - You don't want him to think it's always okay, right?
[TLOT] Exactly. Lets not play with potions until he's at least as mature as Ashe was when we made him a human form.
[aven] that too I don't want him to think it's safe before he can least tell the difference -is now using bone meal to powdered the giggling hyrule-
[Deer] - Jeff?  I think it's okay to let BEN up now
[Jeff] - Are you sure?  Because I think he needs a bath too
[aven] -puts a new diaper on hyrule and gives him a hug and a kiss-
[Lie] Goes back to sit down next to CP-
[aven] -is playing with hyrule who is giggling happily-
[Lie] Hums a little as she leans against CP, thinking about babies and what her and CP's would possibly look like, not realizing just how loud her thoughts are-
[TLOT] Raises a hairy eyebrow. -Lie... I think Cp needs more sensitivity training before that happens.
[Lie] - Hm?
[CP] - Now what the fuck are you on about?
[aven] -sits next to ben with hyrule in her arms-
[Jeff] Is still sitting on BEN-
[BEN] - Hyrule...
[TLOT] I'm talking to Lie, Cp. And I think your actions today have shown how right I am.
[CP] - And as usual, you're making no sense
[hyrule] -is giggling in aven's arms-
[Doc] looks over at Jeff and BEN- Should I make a small lava pool?
[BEN] - NO!
[Lie] - CP it's okay, my thoughts were just...  Wandering
[aven] if some one holds hyrule I will join you ben
[BEN] Whines- But it hasn't been a month yet!
[Yaunfen] - Burps!
[aven] a month is to long for baths ben
[BEN] - No it's not!
[TLOT] Yeah.... that's a bit gross.
[aven] I take bath more then you ben I should drag you into the ones I take
[BEN ] Whimpers-
[aven] lava baths ben
[Doc] Look, the lab is just down that little hall and up the steps, just go. We'll watch the baby until you're done.
[aven] thank you  -gives doc hyrule before dragging ben down stairs-
[Doc] Is just holding the baby a bit awkwardly. - Well then....
[snake] -makes silly faces at hyrule from doc's shoulder making hyrule giggle-
[TLOT] Pads over - Tiny little thing...
[Lie] Smiles- As are all babies...
[TLOT] Makes a goofy face at the baby -You're pink like a little piggy aren't you?
[CP] Huffs in mild annoyance-
[hyrule] -is giggling at all the silly faces-
[TLOT] Do you want to hold him Cp? I think your fellows here may be unaware how good you actually are with little ones.
[CP] - Why?
[LJ] Snickers-
[Jeff] - We know how good he is, Sally plays with him all the time!
[TLOT] Awww. It's because Sally reminded him of someone else...
[CP] - Shut up! Shutupshutupshutup!
[TLOT] Why? It's safe for them to know now.
[Jeff] - Know what?
[CP] Is growling a little-
[TLOT] Cp has a little brother. Well he's an adult now, but he's still younger.
[LJ] - Awww, and you didn't bring him along with you to the manor?
[CP] - OH FUCK NO!
[Doc] You guys would have either infected him or killed him. He's a human.
[snake] has flopped on to his back on docs shoulder and is just now wiggling his arms in the air for no reason-
[Jeff] Is laughing along with LJ-
[Doc] I don't understand why that's funny. I think it would have been a valid concern.
[CP] - Will all of you just shut up
[TLOT] Chuckles - Did you guys think he was really a Herobrine without a Steve?
[Jeff] - Dude, he pretty much told us nothing about his game
[Doc] I'm suprised you didn't find out on your own. From what I understand it's a massive bestseller.
[LJ] - Yeah, maybe if the digital pasta's didn't hog all the TV's all the time
[Doc] Ah, The internet would have been a more likely space, it's all over there.
[CP] - Doc, those things don't work to well within the manor, slender beings, you know?
[jewel] -steps into the shadows of the kitchen quietly-
[Doc] OH... geeze. That sucks. Man. I don't give a fig about human tv, but I do love the web.
[TLOT] Pads quietly over to Jewel and sashays her legs. - Nice to see you again.
[jewel] -her voice is quiet- hello I came over because I need to get out for some air.
[LJ] - Well, I'm heading back to my circus now
[Doc] How are the repairs going? Herabrine's been pretty scarce. I heard she was helping you.
[LJ] - Alright, much closer to being finished
[Doc] I want to show you something anyway... - Gets up and walks over to him, - Cp? Hold Hyrule for a minute, I don't want to give him to Lie in case of ovaries. - Presses the baby into his hands-
[LJ] - Oh?
[jewel] -is quiet- where did that baby come from?
[CP] Narrows his eyes at Doc but does hold Hyrule-
[Doc] We discovered that Yaunfen's diet is partly the gems from their home seed and partly the cake that makes up their end. So we brought home a bunch of the precious items from there for them, but they're edible for anyone. - Opens a kitchen trunk
[Doc] Check this out- Holds out a rock candy diamond in a lovely shade of blue, some golden toffee bars and a few licorice spirals that replace the coal. - Here, you gave me new stuff, something for you.
[LJ] - Oh these are interesting...
[TLOT] That's BEN and Aven's baby; Hyrule.
[jewel] I must have missed something because I don't remember either of them having a baby
[TLOT] He's new -
[Lie] Is smiling at the sight of CP holding Hyrule-
[Doc] Takes out another diamond for Yaunfen and gestures for Lj to watch as xe offers it.
[jewel] have I missed anything else?
[Yaunfen] Leaps at the diamond- Burp!- Starts sucking on the diamond
[TLOT] Mmm, we have a mouse mob now. And chocolates for Valentine's day, the box on the table is already open if you want some.
[jewel] valentine's day already?
[Doc] Beams- Yanfen, you're adorable.
[TLOT] I don't know? I guess early enough for humans to have stuff out to buy.
[Doc] At Jewel- We brought home some more pokemon too. Hey Cp? How's Stevie doing with his fish?
[jewel] I was never a fan of valentine's day it reminded me just how little of people I had but today I don't know what to feel.
[TLOT] I'd never heard of it before....
[CP] - I still say it's a stupid holiday.  I don't know, he took it home and we didn't really talk when he came over to watch father
[Doc] Well I guess no news is good news. It's a hardy beast, it should be fine. How is Notch anyway?
[CP] - Still laying in bed
[LJ] Giggles- Lazy
[jewel] -is just looking around most of thoughts and feelings are confusing or of her confusion-
[Doc] He's in bed because he's becoming digital. I wonder if the pain is similar to becoming real the slow way?
[TLOT] Just take some deep breaths Jewel, you're safe.
[CP] - I don't know
[Doc] Lie's jingle flowers are likely cutting the pain anyway.
[jewel] i know but i have been confused a lot lately
[Jeff] - Come on LJ, this talk is boring
[LJ] Waves good bye as he floats up the stairs-
,[Doc] Thanks for the help guys.
[Jeff] Flips Doc off-
[Doc] Looks at Cp. - well he only gave me the finger, I still say that's progress.
[CP] - He got to harass BEN, he's in a good mood
[Doc] Griefers, all of them. Haha.
[TLOT] Decides to sit with Grinny and curls around the much smaller cat. He's radiating a ridiculious amount of warmpth.
[Grinny] Hisses at TLOT-
[TLOT] That makes me nostalgic...
[Grinny] - Fuck off
[CP] Bounces Hyrule a little-
[Doc] Something on your mind Jewel?
[TLOT] That too... what's next? You gonna tell me to go die in a fire or something?
[jewel] a lot of things doc a lot of things
[hyrule] -giggles at the bounces-
[Doc] I'm listening.
[Grinny] Growls-
[jewel] i have to deal with my emotion conflicting every second at the moment
[Lie] Gets up and looks through some of the stuff Aven brought until she finds Hyrules pacifier- Here CP
[CP] Takes the pacifier and offers it to Hyrule-
[hyrule] -takes the pacifier in his mouth and suckles on it-
[MB] Comes down into the kitchen and takes one look at Cp before bursting out laughing
[CP] Growls at MB- Shut up you fucker
[Mb] no wonder you're so defensive of her, getting busy making more brines with the little woman. Make sure you glitch him good, keeps the monsters away. -grins horribly
[CP] - It's not even mine you fucker!
[Lie] - Besides, I'm currently infertile
[Mb] Aww, adopted, even sweeter
[CP] Would be murdering MB if he weren't holding Hyrule-
[Lie] - It's our friends, they needed some alone time so were watching the baby
This message has been removed.
[Deer] - MB?  Would you like some food?
[Mb] Huh? I just came over to borrow a cup of gunpowder, in a neighborly kinda way.
[Doc] What? well you can- Wait- NO.
[CP] - Hey Doc?  Gimme some gunpowder
[Doc] Um.... maybe after you put the baby down...
[jewel] -is looking at mb in a questioning way-
[CP] - Kinda can't
[Mb] Yeah, Cp. I can see you're realllllly busy.
[CP] Charges a bit of lightning in his hand-
[Doc] CP. NOT WITH THE BABY.
[Mb] Chillax. We can fight when your hands aren't so full.
[CP] - What?  It should be fine, BEN has lightning too you know
[Doc] Okay, then please not in my kitchen.
[hyrule] -is reaching for cp's lighting hand-
[CP] - Fiiiiiiiiiiine- He holds the lightning a bit closer, toning down it's strength
[Mb] Slides over to Jewel - Hey there hot stuff. Wanna go blow something up together?
[jewel] -takes out her axe-mace and puts it at his neck- don't ever flirt with me
[Mb] Whoah... Okay miss congenialty. Whatever turns you on. - Walks over to the table and leans on it instead
[TLOT] Is just watching Mb, carefully- Staying out of trouble?
[Mb] Just building shit.
[CP] Let's the toned down lightning dance around to entertain Hyrule-
[jewel] -notices her axe-mace is smudged and is trying to clean it but she only has her hands-
[Doc] What's wrong Jewel?
[jewel] it's smudged.
[TLOT] BEN and Aven have been down there a while. I hope he didn't run off again.
 -A naked streak races past-
[Doc] Oh, here. Have a towel. - Xe pulls up a wool square and lobs it to her- What the-
[aven] -comes in her clothes and holding ben's she is out of breath- ben get back here
[BEN] Distant hissing-
[TLOT] Did you even get him in the tub Aven?
[Mb] What the fuck?
[jewel] thank you -takes the towel and starts buffing the axe-mace-
[aven] not really no it was mostly me trying to wrestle him in.
[Mb] What the fuck are you trying to do? Drown the little twerp?
[BEN] Distantly- NO DROWNING!
[aven] get him clean he has hydrophobia I do to but his is much worse I was trying to get him into a lava bath while we used potions but he just ran
[Mb] Please tell me I can help.... I'm way overdue to hear some good screaming today.
[aven] be careful last time someone tried to put him in water he nearly drowned everyone that was there
[Mb] where's the pool?
[Doc] There's one in the shrine....
[TLOT] Three actually.
[Mb] Laughs - I think I can find one.... - Goes dashing off-
[aven] -sits at one of the chairs her head flops on to the table
[Lie] - Do you need anything Aven?
[aven] a vacation
[Mb] Divides into his triplicate form and pounces on BEN. He instantly teleports them to the nether and lets the four of them fall into a veritable ocean of lava.
[BEN] Shrieks and lets off a large electric blast- NONONONONONONONONO!
[Mb] He jerks from the blast but then rises up above the surface of the lava. He's laughing so hard he's nearly crying.
[BEN] Bolts out of the lava-
[Deer] Frowns- That ass!
[Mb] YOUR FACE..... I haven't laughed that hard in cycles...
[Doc] What is it my love?
[Deer] - MB took BEN to the Nether...
[Doc] Well he did say he'd find a lava pool....
[TLOT] It's nasty but it does make sense since he doesn't know the layout of the castle.
[BEN] Furious now, he gathers a massive ball of lightning and launches it at MB-
[Mb] Dodges easily- yeah! That's what I like! But let's make this less gay- he spawns a pair of leather trousers and tosses them onto BEN before taking his own shirt off. The player skin underneath is covered with so many crisscrossing scars it looks like a patchwork quilt- let's see what else you have! - he puts up his fists and rushes BEN to punch him
[BEN] Nimbly dodges as he pulls on the pants, focusing his drowning abilities around MB-
[Mb] Spawns a clone who takes the brunt of the drowning and immediately dies. - niiiiice! - he goes for a kick while BEN is buttoning his pants
[BEN] Summons one of his chains to grab the leg-
[Mb] Once again makes a clone and switches so it takes the hit and struggles in the chains for a moment before poofing away. He's way too excited and the smile is wide across his face as he attacks BEN again.
[BEN] With a furious shout he creates a broad range drowning area, like he had done before, anything within range begins to feel it's lungs fill with water-
[Mb] Is already choking but changes his attack to a body block and manages to gurgle- Lets see if that potions worn off yet! - He's trying to shove BEN back into the lava.
[BEN] Shifts into his more adult form to use more strength as he pushes back- YOU FUCKER!
[Mb] That's right! I love that look! - With a growl he shoves harder-
[BEN] Clenches his fist and summons his master sword-
[Mb] Is pierced in the belly and spawns two clones again to help shove all of them into the lava even as he's nearing his own death-
[BEN] Summons his shield to try to bash something in the head-
[Mb] Is nearly dead but summons a final burst of strength as he's hit-
[BEN] Falls into the lava and catches on fire-
[Mb] Succumbs to the drowning and also dies-
- BEN was shoved into lava -
- /MasterHerobrine killed by Player BENDrowned /-
[aven] holy shit ben!
[Doc] Was reading the chat- Seriously guys?
[Lie] - Go to him Aven, we can keep an eye on Hyrule if you want
[Doc] Waves a hand - I'm sure he's fine.
[TLOT] Shakes his head- Pastas and brines....
[aven] I still want to check on him -stands up from her chair- i'll take hyrule
[CP] Hands Hyrule over to Aven without a word-
[snake] -still on doc's shoulder- wait aven take me as well I have something for gem and I am slow
[aven] -takes hyrule and snake and head up to the horse pen and grabs one of the horses they left and heads for home-
[CP] - So Doc...  About that gun powder...
[TLOT] Same shit different day, huh Cp?
[CP] Flips TLOT off-
[Doc] Oh? You actually want it? How come?
[CP] - To rub it in MB's face
[Doc] Whatever- xe spawns a few blobs and bounces them into his inventory. - I'm sure he was just trying to make me worry anyway.
[CP] Takes it and tucks it away-
[Deer] - So...  About the sex toys...
[Doc] Oh. Here, have a look for yourself. - Xe slides the bag across the counter with a grin-
[Deer] Grins as she see's what's inside- Oh this looks like great fun...  Lie, you should make sure you have all of your too
[TLOT] Flips a bundle of stuff out of his inventory and swats it with his tail so it goes right to Lie and vanishes into her storage.
[Lie] Blushes hard- Why is there a tail?
[Grinny] Continues to growl at TLOT-
[TLOT] Flips his own cat tail around and gives a lazy yawn. - Because tails are fun.
[Deer] - Actually, Lie?  Have you ever had anal before?
[Lie] Turns a darker shade of red and speaks quietly- When I was human...
[Doc] Somehow I think Cp is not in the mood for this discussion guys. Lie, you should come have a private pow-wow with me and Deerheart one day.
[Lie] Embarrassed whine-
[CP] - With who?
[Lie] - My ex...
[CP] - ...  That was the griefer I ended up killing, right?
[Lie] Nods-
[Doc] My money is on; he didn't have a clue what he was doing at the time.
[Lie] - He...  He was a bit abusive...  And I didn't really get any pleasure out of it...
[CP] Is slowly catching on fire at the thought of the ex-
[Doc] I thought so. Fuck him anyway then. Men that hurt women are scum.
[CP] - He tried to kill her with creepers...  I put a stop to that real quick...
[TLOT] Interesting... I guess even then, part of you knew she would be special....
[CP] - At that point I was more focused on the bet...
[TLOT] Sure...
[Lie] Leans against CP-  What's done is done and in the past.  I'm just glad you're here now
[TLOT] Eh. He still needs work. But much better then he was.
[Deer] - We should have a girls day, invite Hera and some of the Alex's as well
[Doc] Oh, the hot springs thing? I'm for that. If I'm welcome, of course.
[Deer] - Of course love, you sometimes have the right equipment
[Doc] I would understand. Someone has to watch Yaunfen anyway. We can't invite Endrea either since she can't get wet.
[CP] - Actually at this point her human form can
[Doc] Really? It's it pleasant? Or just not painful?
[CP] - I haven't really asked her, but the larger her dragon form the more resistant she is to water as well
[Lie] - Hot springs do sound nice...  We should make some
[Doc] That's easy stuff. You just need Netherrack-
[CP] - Endrea's home in the end has a very large bath in it, I know she'll have get togethers with the female generals and the other generals mates there...
[TLOT] Speaking of. Hey Cp... got something for ya- Slides a bit of paper over to him with a hind foot. It's crinkled and has obviously been written on and things have been crossed out several times-
[CP] Frowns and picks up the paper to look at it- Really?  "My loveliest blossom of the universe"?
[TLOT] It's hard. I'm just not sure what kind of tone to convey.
[CP] - I'll look over it later...
[Doc] I'm ready when you guys are. - Grins-
[Lie] - Wait, we're doing this now!?
[CP] - No, the coronation is not happening right now
[TLOT] For what it's worth, I'm normally dressed up, so, also game for that when you guys are.
[CP] - I still need to find a place to hold the damn thing, at least, the main part of it where I will have to address everyone...
[Doc] Is there really no place outside that will work? I can make you bleachers if need be. A natural ampitheather would make your words louder too.
[CP] - No, there are area's, I just need to figure out which area which is dependent on how many mobs are coming
[TLOT] That's up to you though...
[CP] - I know, I don't want to overwhelm Lie, but I want enough of them there to help spread the word quickly amongst the rest
[jewel] coronation?
[CP] - So my mobs will know to obey Lie...  Blame Hera
[Doc] Just gonna be a few speeches and probably a buffet with lots of stilted conversation.
[jewel] who is hera?
[Doc] You don't know Herabrine? She looks like an Alex but with Brine eyes and greyish coloration.
[jewel] I mostly stay in my house I haven't met her yet.
[Doc] She's been out a lot lately anyway. She's been helping the clown that was here earlier rebuild his circus in the woods.
[jewel] I know laughing jack I guess I will have to try and find her so I can meet her
[Grinny] Tries to slink away from TLOT-
[Doc] If she's not in the woods, she might be at her house. It's underwater near the mangroves. By Steffan and Enderbro's house?
[TLOT] Decides to groom Grinny a little and licks his ears.
[Grinny] Swats at TLOT-
[TLOT] Ow.
[jewel] I will check but later I want to stay here for now
[Lie] Stretches a little- Oh, TLOT?  Has there been word from your server yet?  I'm sure they've been busy building homages to you and Steve
[Doc] That's fine, like I said she's probably not home anyway.
[TLOT] I popped in on them briefly. They seem to be enjoying themselves without any problems. And yes, they do certainly like building shrines and statues...
[Lie] - I gotta ask, just what have they come up with for CP?
[CP] - Why?  Why would you ask that?
[TLOT] He usually looks like he's been taking steroids, wreathed in flames with a sword in each hand. Though I did see a small one that had multiple arms. Artistic interpretaion you know?
[CP] - What the fuck is wrong with your testificates?
[TLOT] They're creative! I think it was just because they couldn't decide what to include in that case. You had six arms; holding a ball of fire, a flower, a pick, a sword, your honedge, and the sixth hand was giving the finger.
This message has been removed.
[CP] - Oh really?  And just how have they decided to depict my wife?
[TLOT] Lots of diaphanous flowing clothing, beatific expression, leafy crown, and in her hands a huge defensive pod with a mouthful of teeth. There's usually a cat poking out from under her skirt too.
[Lie] Can't stop a small laugh-
[CP] - OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!
[TLOT] You should have seen the fertility statue they did for me... I could have hung my cloak and helmet on the weiner.
[CP] - I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT!
[TLOT] Steve usually looks like he swooning in my arms....
[Deer] - But of course, your arms are where he belongs
[TLOT] I saw a huge one of Doc out in the countryside too. They'd put a high pressure fountain in the mouth and planted a garden all around it so the plants would stay watered from the spray.
[Doc] Aw.
[CP] - Why a fountain from their mouth?
[TLOT] I guess for the lightning breath? A dragon shape looks nice on a fountain anyway.
[Lie] - What do they have for Splender?  Or the baby wither?
[TLOT] I gave them a picture of Splender, they seem to like his image up against walls so they can carve twisty tentacles all over behind him. He usually looks placid but has a macabre grinnning face under his tilted down hat. Mostly you can't see it unless you try to sit in his lap.
[CP] - I'm not sure how much Splender will like the whole macabre face...
[TLOT] That's the point, it's hidden. It has sort of a ear to ear grin with dot eyes. They're not scared of him or anything.
[Lie] - I would like to hop over there eventually to see these statues
[TLOT] Of course. I mean, as long as Cp doesn't go on a spree wrecking them.
[CP]  Grumbles-
[TLOT] You can't discourage them from making art. It makes them happy and keeps them occupied.
[CP] - Whatever...
[Lie] Yawns a little-

Roleplay Server Log #174
“Digital Communion”
-The seed seems to shiver a little-
[Doc] woah! Did anyone else feel that? - in chat- Deerheart? Are you okay?
[Deer] Her response is very garbled in the chat-
-After a few moments the bar door opens and Flux helps guide a woozy Deer inside-
[Doc] practically runs to her to check her - Deerheart!? What happened?!
[Flux] - She asked me to teach her some more things, we started with reaching the heart of the server, the piece which she comes from
[Doc] Is it a physical thing or a mental place? - xe hold Deerheart gently, smoothing her hair.
[Flux] - Both, she can reach it mentally, but it also exists physically
[Notch] okay, now I'm curious, what does it look like?
[Jeb] is just staring at the newcomers in shock
[Flux] - It's her...  She is a piece of the heart, the physical piece, but it also exists throughout the entirety of the seed thus why she's able to reach it mentally
[Deer] Slumps against Doc-
[Doc] Helps her to sit down- did you get a bad connection my love?
[Deer] Manages to shake her head a little and mumbles something-
[Flux] - It's always a bit overwhelming when one first reconnects with the heart
[Yaunfen] Peaks out from behind Flux's skirt-
[Doc] tell me how to help, anything!
[Notch] must be like a mystical illumination...
[Flux] - She just needs some food and rest, that's all
[Yaunfen] Squeaks and bats at Doc's leg-
[Sam] runs off to start a pot of soup for her-
[Doc] picks up the baby dragon and cuddles them before setting them on the table next to hir.
[Yaunfen] Sniffs the bar top-
[Flux] Steps back from Deer to give her and Doc space-
[Jeb] what on earth is that? And why does she have antlers?!
[Lie] Hisses at Jeb a little- Rude!
[Jeb] a just kind of mumbling to himself, he's more then a little stressed out.
[Flux] Notices Stevie and briefly has a disappointed expression-
[Notch] is just shaking his head- that's the irony, he makes video games, but he's no good at handling stressful situations.
[Flux] Looks at Jeb with a frown- Who is he?
[Notch] that's Jeb, he was a huge part of the creation of the Minecraft game itself. Cp dragged him in as his idea of a joke.
[Flux] Sighs in disappointment- He used to be so much nicer
[Doc] takes a bowl of warm soup from Sam and tries to entice Deerheart to eat a spoonful
[Deer] Opens her mouth-
[Notch] What's the saying? We're all nice to begin with, but what we are when the worlds done screwing us over is a totally different thing. Something like that
[Doc] Gently feeds hir mate, holding her close
[Flux] - I do not know that saying...
[CP] Yawns and snuggles in closer to his mate-
[Jeb] sneaks another taco and chews sullenly
[Notch] So.... What can one do when they achieve the union Deerheart was attempting?
[Flux] - They can sense everything on the seed, correct minor errors with little to no thought, it basically is a better way of being able to maintain the other part of us
[Doc] pulls out a gem for Yaunfen to nom on as well, offering it in pinched fingers
[Yaunfen] Squeaks and rushes over to it only to trip and face plant-
[Notch] but.... Does being better connected make it harder to come and go out of it?
[Doc] freezes at his words, and then helps the baby dragon up. Listening intently.
[Flux] - Not at all, I'm still connected to mine, it becomes nearly sub conscious to deal with
[Jeb] Perks up a little at Flux's voice and looks at Notch. - So? She's your crush huh? She is pretty.
[Notch] SHUT UP!
[Flux] - Crush?
[Notch] Sputters in embarassment-
[Doc] It means he likes you Flux.
[Flux] - Oh?  Well I am amicable towards him as well...
[CP] Snickers-
{Notch] Is blushing a lot.
[Flux] - Are you alright?  You've turned bright red- She reaches forwards to feel his forehead
[Notch] Makes an involuntary happy noise as he's touched.
[Lie] Bats at CP for snickering-
[Doc] Is trying to think of a way to clarify things for Flux and failing. Xe settles for tending to Deerheart.
[Sam] Talks to Flux in his skeleton tongue- He wishes to be your mate.
[Flux] Tilts head curiously- Mate?  I do not understand...
[Sam] Makes a rather bawdy gesture involving a single finger and two others formed into a circle
[Notch] SAM!!! [He understood that part well enough]
[Flux] Is still confused-
[Stevie] - Wait...  Do you not know what sex is?  I thought you were close with our father though...
[Jeb] Man... she is oblivious.
[Doc] Flux? You do have normal anatomy right?
[Flux] - I was your father's companion and confidant, that was all.  Although we were close.  And I'm not sure?  I was the only female there...
[Doc] I think I should give you a check up then. Some time soon. And maybe have a talk with you. Or you can talk to TLOT.
[Flux] - Why would I need to have a talk with TLOT?
[Doc] Yeeeah.... I think this needs to happen. - Starts typing in chat-
[Jeb] Wait, you're calling my brine?
[Lie] - He's not your brine
[Notch] He's not yours dipshit!
[Jeb] You all have the same name, how am I supposed to clarify it!?
[Lie] - The nicknames you ass!  He's TLOT, my mate is CP, there's another who's GK, and our newest is NK!
[Jeb] smaller voice, since he's essencially being yelled at by an angry cat- oh, uh yeah....
[CP] Yet another proud little purr at how his mate is acting-
-There's a litte bamf of someone tping slightly outside-
[Lie] Perks at the noise-
[TLOT] Throws the door open and stands there silhouetted with Steve peeking over his shoulder- He's here?
[Lie] - Unfortunately, blame my mate
[Jeb] Holy.... [He's a bit scarier when you're on ground level]
[CP] Is once again snickering-
[TLOT] Push him up please. I want to talk face to face.
[CP] - Can't, I'm a cat
[Notch] Just don't kill him, okay?
[TLOT] I won't kill him.
[Notch] Muscles Jeb out of the booth and to his feet.
[Jeb] Is having a really hard time as he's avoiding TLOT's eyes but trying not to stare at the rest of him.
[CP] Is grinning widely watching all of this-
[TLOT] Is holding a small diamond item in his hands. With a gesture he force equipts a diamond helm on Jeb- This is for giving me to the Testificates to raise. It's not entirely your fault they were idiots.
[Jeb] whimpers-
[TLOT] He pulls out a chestplate and does the same with it as well. - This is for giving me my powers back. I'm not ungrateful.
[Jeb] Well.. uh...
[TLOT] And this is for trapping me WITH THAT FUCKING NIGHTMARE OF A NOTCH-  He hauls back and punches Jeb directly in the chest nearly shattering the chestplate and sending him flying into the wall by the dartboards.
[Jeb] Shouts as he's hit and then just groans on the floor.
[CP] Is laughing so hard he falls off the table-
[Steve] Makes a diving catch for Cp and grabs him in a hug before he hits-
[CP] Hisses at Steve, but still grinning in mirth at what he just witnessed-
[Notch] Runs to check on Jeb.
[Lie] Stretches and moves closer to TLOT-
[TLOT] Is huffing a bit, his little nostrils are visible as he puffs in diminishing temper.
[Lie] Purrs at TLOT and gently bats at him, looking as adorable as she can-
[TLOT] Gives her a gentle rub around the ears.
[Doc] Feel better?
[TLOT] Yes, actually.
[Jeb] Ooowwwww.
[Notch] You're lucky he armored you first... I think he would have punched a hole in your chest otherwise.
[Lie] Decides to just jump up onto TLOT's shoulders-
[Steve] At Cp,- who's a happy cat? Such a giggly little shit.
[CP] - Fucking Nether that was hilarious...  Now let me go
[TLOT] Just adjusts his stance to keep her steady, between armor and cloak it's not like she's clawing him.
[Steve] Gives Cp a bit of a ear rub and a chin scratch, but does put him back on the table-
[Jeb] Does someone have a little white flag I can wave?
[CP] Looks at his mate-Why are you up there?
[Lie] - Because TLOT is warm
[Stevie] There's gotta be a dirty rag around here maybe?
[TLOT] She looks appropriately regal there, I'm in favor of it.
[Sam] Humph. - throws a white dish towel at Jeb-
[CP] Growls a little, remembering the coronation stuff he needs to do-
[Jeb] Makes an effort to wave it - I give up...
[Notch] Good plan.
[CP] Goes over to where Jeb is and jumps down, landing right on Jeb's bladder before sauntering towards the bar-
[Jeb] Arrrgh!
[Lie] - I still wanna pee on him...
[Notch] Pffft! Cp!
[CP] - Shut it Notch
[Jeb] Can I go home please? I feel like I got run over by a bus....
[Sam] Saunters over with a bottle of rum and holds it out to Jeb.
[Notch] well, you did want to drink with me.
[CP] Takes the opportunity to jump up onto the shelves behind the bar where all the bottles are-
[Jeb] Takes the bottle and turns it side to side, watching the translucent cubes tumble around in it. Before taking an unsteady swig.
[Sam] Watching Cp anxiously-
[CP] Just wanders through the bottles-
[Steve] If you want something I'll get it for you Cp.
[CP] - Nope
[Stevie] - Brother why?
[TLOT] Is calm now and looks around before doing a double take at the familiar voice. - Stevie?
[Stevie] - Yeah?
[Steve] Just grabs Stevie in a hug- I'm so glad you're okay!
[Stevie] - Er... Um, yeah
[Steve] Gonna miss playing kid-type games with you, but you're still welcome to come hang out with us anytime.
[Stevie] - Got it!
[TLOT] It was a terrible circumstance, but I'm glad you're healed.
[Stevie] - Yeah, it's kinda weird.  It's like I have a double set of memories right now because I've now technically had two childhoods
[Steve] Never had one myself, but it looked pretty fun.
[Stevie] - Yeah, it really kinda is...
[TLOT] There's nothing to stop you doing kid stuff if you want to my lamb. Perhaps we should transform the lab into a pillow fort and tell ghost stories over cocoa or something.
[CP] Makes barfing sounds behind the bottles-
[Sam] Goes right to him to make sure he isn't really puking-
[CP] Has a smug expression as he looks right back at Sam-
[Jeb] Looks more then a little drunk. He waves his arms around a bit and Notch helps him up with a patient roll of his beady black eyes.
[Flux] - Will he be alright?
[Notch] Yeah. He's just drunk.
[Jeb] Is slurring a bit and staggers over to TLOT. - Dammm.... man... I'm sorry... you get so, it looks different from above it all, fuck it... punch my ass again. I deserve it...
[TLOT] Flatly- no.
[CP] - If Lie turns me back I will
[TLOT] You'll be naked and knock his head off. That seems extreme on both counts. I think he's had enough. I'm sure you've been torturing him all day or Lie wouldn't have turned you into a cat again.
[CP] Grumbles-
[Lie] - No I did that as soon as I found out he brought Jeb into the server
[Notch] Doc was mean to him as well.
[Doc] Hey!
[Jeb] At Doc - I gotta give it to ya.... I don't know how the fuck you managed to break into and outta that seed....
[Doc] smug -Just my nature.
[TLOT] With a dollop of desperate panic on both ends.
[Lie] -  This also being the very person who managed to find me, an actual human stuck in the game
[Doc] Is making just the tiniest noise that might actually be a purrr.
[CP] - And who has the annoying habit of just dragging people off
[Jeb] At Doc- What the fuck are you...?
[Doc] Almost proudly- No clue.
[Flux] Is looking at the bottles behind the bar-
[TLOT] So uh.... Flux... Doc said you needed some basic education?
[Flux] - Hm?  I'm not certain I do, but they say so...
[TLOT] Why don't you come with me for a few minutes? Just over here-
[Doc] Don't go downstairs. Jewel is sleeping.
[TLOT] It's okay-guides Flux around the corner.
[Notch] Gets up to go back to the others and give them a bit of privacy.
[Doc] Is whispering sweet nothings to Deerheart.
[Flux] Watches TLOT with interest-
[TLOT] Do you mind if I just give you a mental download of the basics?
[Flux] - Oh, I suppose you could...
[TLOT] well I don't want to be invasive and it will be quicker too.
[Lie] Is too lazy to move from his shoulder-
[Flux] - Then please, go ahead
[TLOT] Makes a quick file detailing sexual dimorphisim in humans and what he knows about Testificate genders as well for good measure. Then proper instructions on basic sex, plus oral, and anal. He finishes it with some image files he keeps for reference. Most are illustrations from the kama sutra or realistic fanart from the internet. Then he uploads it all to Flux
[Lie] Catches parts of it and becomes a bright little ball of light on TLOT's shoulder-
[Flux] Her cheeks flush a slightly darker purple as she registers what she's seeing- Oh, and...  This is what Notch wishes to do...  With me?
[TLOT] Well I think he'd like to at least date you first. He seems like the type to want an actual loving relationship like Doc has with Deerheart.
[Flux] - I see...
[TLOT] Just think about it, it's perfectly okay if it's not appealing to you. Most of the Alex's dont have any sex drive at all. It's not a prerequiste or anything.
[Flux] - I will take it into consideration
[Lie] - Whyyyyyyy?  Why did I catch sight of that?
[TLOT] Because my psychic senses are really strong and you're right next to my head? Besides, it's nothing you didn't already know right? We're all adults here.
[Lie] Little embarrassed noises as per the usual-
[TLOT] Pets her with a chuckle.
[Jeb] Is laying across the bar- bllllaaaaaaagh
[Notch] You're a mess...
[CP] Jumps down from the bar shelf and sneaks closer to Jeb-
[Jeb] Grabs Cp unexpectedly and whines at him - I'm soooorrrryyy. Please send me home....
[CP] Scratches- FUCKER LET GO!
[Jeb] Ooowww!
[Lie] - I hate to say it, but maybe we should give him a sobering flower?
[Notch] Just send him home drunk. Then he'll know it wasn't a dream or something.
[Lie] - Yes but wouldn't that make his wife suspicious?
[Notch] Damn... good point. I was trying to think of proof that won't last in any tangible way.
[CP] - Uh the bruise TLOT has rather obviously left on his chest?
[Notch] Oh...Yeah. Should be nearly a perfect square judging by that hit.
[Lie] Jumps down and spawns a sobering flower, she carries it in her teeth over to Jeb before dropping it in front of him- Eat it
[Jeb] small voice-  Can I go home if I eat it?
[Lie] - Yes
[Jeb] scarfs the nasty flower-
[Lie] Waits for it to take effect-
[Notch] No hard feelings man... but we all have axes to grind and things to protect.
[Jeb] Makes a miserable face. - I think I was happier drunk....
[CP] Yawns- Do I have to do this?
[Lie] - Yes CP!
[CP] - Fine, any last words asshole?
[Jeb] Swallows- I'm a terrible selfish ass? And I'm sorry for threatening  your Testificates? Uh... and thank you for killing that NOTCH?
[Doc] I'm glad that you've come to your senses on those things at least.
[CP] Rolls his eyes and looks at TLOT as if asking for the go ahead-
[TLOT] Puts a stern hand on Jebs shoulder and the smaller man cowers under his grip. - I know you have some small clout in what happens to the others. If you find any suffering brines, or more injured NOTCHs you tell us. Or else.
[Jeb] Understood. Wait... more?
[TLOT] Get him out of here Cp. If you please.
[CP] - Fine- He creates an opening and turns towards Jeb- Go through asshole!
[Jeb] Scrambles out - he stumbles as his resolution changes back and grabs at the desk on the other side to keep from falling. He looks back at the opening in disbelief, tracing the edges with fearful eyes.
[TLOT] We'll be watching you. So behave.
[Steve] Toodles!
[CP] Snaps the opening shut-
[Notch] I feel better already... gods he stresses me out...
[CP] - Well that was fun
[TLOT] Gives Cp an eyebrow. - I can tell. You're radiating happy.
[CP] - Shut up
[Deer] Starts stirring-
[Doc] Cradles her lovingingly. - Darling?
[Deer] - Mmmm, everything went really wonky...
[Doc] Wonky how? Like glitched out?
[Deer] - I don't know...  But it felt...  Complete?
[Notch] I can imagine... being one with an entire world?
[Deer] Snuggles closer to Doc- It was so brief though...
[Doc] Well considering that the whole place shook like a spaceship hitting an asteriod belt and you passed out, a little taste should be good enough for a first try. - Xe reaches over to give Yaunfen a little scritch.
[Deer] - I would have never thought to have tried if Flux hadn't mentioned it...
[Yaunfen] Trills around hir gem-
[Doc] Well, she is the expert...
[Notch] Is watching Flux a bit dreamily.
[Stevie] - Still seems odd that we never saw you Flux...
[Notch] Twitches suddenly in pain and sits down.
[Doc] Markus, are you okay?
[Flux] - Notch?
[CP] Looks over curiously-
[Stevie] Is quickly standing- Father?!
[Notch] I feel... bad.... kinda sick all of a sudden...
[Lie] Tilts head curiously- Like you keep getting little zaps of electricity?
[Notch] Winces - yes....
[Lie] - CP...  Has he been in long enough?
[CP] Shrugs- Probably?
[TLOT] Oh dear....
[Steve] It's time for that already?
[Stevie] - What are all of you talking about!?
[Notch] Ow ow ow... - slides to the floor and sits against the booth
[Lie] Jumps down and moves closer to Notch- CP, this is your area of expertise...
[CP] - Yeah but you were the first and ended up having TLOT turn you into a brine...  Plus I was pretty out of it when it actually happened...
[Notch] Has broken out in a cold sweat.
[TLOT] Do we want to....?
[Doc] that shouldn't be needed right? He'll be digital anyway?
[Steve] Doesn't just dying and becoming a digital ghost just make you a creepypasta?
[Lie] Curls up next to Notch to try and comfort him-
[Stevie] - Seriously!?  What is happening!?
[CP] - No, remember, Insanity is what defines a pasta, he'd have to acquire her through trauma at death or near death
[Deer] - Notch, can we get you anything?
[Doc] But you can exist without her. The Slenders don't have her specifically right? They can just hear her?
[CP] - Yeah, but she's still there for them...
[Doc] I'm out of my depth here...
[TLOT] Do we have somethign to cut the pain at least?
[Notch] Making little whimpers of agony-
[Lie] - I'd rather he not be turned into a pasta...
[Flux] - Or perhaps a way to speed up the process?
[Doc] You're the one that's made of magick, do you have any suggestions?
[Flux] - I've never seen or done anything like this though
[TLOT} But what else defines a pasta?
[CP] - The murderous intentions, the blood lust, and a lack of morals for the most part
[Flux] Kneels down close to Notch-
[Doc] Geeze Cp....
[Steve] Pulls a kitted throw from his inventory and puts it around Notch.
[Notch] Shivers from the pain-
[CP] - Look, considering my plan was to just let Lie ride it out and naturally turn digital...  Well yeah...
[Stevie] Also kneels by Notch- Father?- He's genuinely worried, especially since Notch had just promised that he would be the last father Stevie and CP would ever have
[Notch] Takes Stevies hand and clenches it desperately-
[Doc] Lie can you makes something for pain control?
[Lie] - I can try?- She starts with her basic healing flower and starts thinking about pain itself
[Flux] Brushes Notch's hair out of his face-
[Notch] Is sweating and clenching his teeth.
[TLOT] Maybe I can use my suggestion to numb it a bit? - Starts feeding Notch a repeating order to not feel the pain-
[Notch] Is still hurting but a bit less-
[Lie] Is worried as she watches her healing flower curl in on itself-
[Flux] Motions for Sam to give her a cool rag-
[Doc] Can you even tell me what's actually happing Cp?
[Sam] Obliges with a bowl of them -
[Flux] Lays a cool rag on Notch's forehead-
[CP] Sighs- In short, his body is fighting itself.  He's been fine because his human physical self has been the stronger part, but now he's almost at the point of being more digital than physical so the physical part is fighting to maintain it's dominance
[TLOT] Could we give him a transfusion to speed it up?
[CP] - You could try, I have no idea if it will work or not though, Lie was the first time I attempted it and you kinda just switched her over
[TLOT] I volunteer, who else will give?
[Doc] Me.
[Steve] I'm in.
[Lie] - I will as well
[Stevie] - Same with me
[Doc] Cp...? Just a little bit? You're a very strong brine after all.
[CP] Grumbles- Whyyyyyyyyyy?
[Doc] You'll get to see me bleed him dry in return, isn't that enough?
[Notch] Just knock me out... please...
[Lie] Watches as her flower shapes itself into bells-  Well now...
[CP] Grumbles again- Fiiiiiiiiiine
[Doc] Actually he has a good point... Cp let me get a little from you first, I have an idea.
[CP] - Why me?
[Doc] Trust me, I'm gonna need your help in a different way.
[CP] - But I'm currently a cat
[Doc] Is tearing apart several things from hir inventory to make a bag and some needles. - Doesn't matter. We all have the same blood type here 1/0.
[Lie] Rubs against Notch-
[Doc] Xe hooks the bag to the table and takes one of Cp's paws.
[CP] Instinctually extends his claws in warning, them having grown back awhile ago-
[Doc] Gently.... This won't take long- Xe guides the tiny needle into a vein and lets a bit of it flow into the bag before pinching it off.
[CP] Hisses a little-
[Doc] Takes it out and destroys the needle - xe puts a bit of cold paste on Cp's leg to seal the tiny hole. - Okay, now, make your magick. Put Notch in a dream so he won't feel anything while I'm working on him.
{Notch] Freezes in terror. - Please... no nightmares...
[CP] Grumbles but does let off a small burst of his power to send Notch into a neutral dream, nothing happy, nothing scary, or anything else-
[Notch] Sighs as the lines in his face smooth out.
[TLOT] Is watching his mind- Wow... that's some serious emptiness. I didn't know you could do that. It's really Zen.
[Doc] Is nearly done bleeding hirself and then moves on to Steve.
[CP] - Shut up, having no direction for a dream to go is really hard!  I have to keep checking it to make sure it remains that way
[TLOT] I wasn't makign fun, it's really hard not to think of anything.
[CP] - No shit!
[Doc] Deerheart? Can I have a bit from you? Or are you too weak right now?
[Flux] - I'm not sure that's a good idea, she and I are servers, something vastly more complicated and rather different than what you want him to be...
[Deer] - Flux has a point...
[Doc] Okay, I'm sure we'll have enough without inconvenicing anyone anyway. Stevie?
[Stevie] Holds out his arm without a second thought-
[Doc] Gives him a prick with a fresh needle and starts on the third bag-
[Doc] Xe moves on to Lie and sees what she's working on. - That's interesting.
[Lie] - Yeah...  Although it may be pointless by the time your done with this...
[Doc] Anything that minimizes suffering can't be useless. We've needed a similar thing before
[CP] Is busy concentrating on holding Notch's dream but hearing his mates causes him to automatically focus on it, making him slip up and introduce a fond feeling into Notch's dream- Shit...- He scrambles to correct it
[Notch] Grabs at the feeling since it's the only thing near him-
[CP] Jumps into the dream to try to defuse the feeling-
[Noch] Is just floating in a bit of a ball, holding what looks like a thin scarf close to him. It's a visual reprentation of Cp's stray emotion.
[CP] - Let go of that!
[Doc] Takes a little blood from Lie and cleans a few red drops from Lie's white fur before letting her resume her work- Thank you
[Stevie] - Heh, guess this means father will actually be related to brother and I now...
[TLOT] Blood brothers. - He puts out a hand- Saving me for last?
[Doc] Just a little from you, just in case. Since you can heal; I'll use yours first so the transfusion isn't rejected.
[Doc] Clicks on a fresh needle and pokes it into TLOT, the resulting mixed bag seems to be pulsing softly-
[Notch] Just clings tighter, he seems a bit afraid-
[CP] - I'm trying to keep you in a neutral dream!
[Notch] But this... it feels good... I don't even know what it is...
[CP] - A small portion of my feelings for Lie...
[Doc] Picks up Notch and lays him on the pool table, xe's setting up some tubes to drain what he currently has.
[Notch] Oh... Your love for her is tattered... but beautiful.
[CP] Grumbles- Yeah yeah, now let it go
[Notch] Do I have too?
[CP] - Yes!  It's mine!
[TLOT] Nips a finger and puts in in Notch's mouth to keep him at one heart at least while Doc drains his blood.
[Notch] Okay... you're in charge here- He holds out a the little scrap and it floats like a ribbon on a gentle breeze. - I feel like I'm on the edge of death out there... I trust Doc, but please.. stay with me?
[CP] Groans- Whyyyyyyyyy?
[Notch] Because... I'm scared...
[CP] - Fine....
[Doc] Is stowing the blood as it's removed and sets up a bag for the fresh on the other side of him.
[Notch] His body gives a rattling gasp as the mixture with TLOT's blood flows into him. In his mind the white space now has a few sparkles, like a sprinkle of glittering stars.
[CP] Is just floating there, the scrap of his feelings for Lie in his hand-
[Notch] - There's a bit of color, it kind of looks like someone broke up a few random minecraft blocks into pixels.
[CP] - I've never set up a dream like this before so I have no idea if that is normal or not
[Notch] I'm used to having TLOT just talk into my head, he must be very close right now. This feels like him.
[CP] - Well he does like to be involved in these things...
[Notch] And he is a healer.
[CP] - Yeah yeah, just another thing he can do...
