Dew, flustered: "The first night you spend with someone in their bed in a nonsexual way is infinitely more intimate to me than anything else, because, like, I could suck anyone's dick! ...But climbing into bed with Rain for the first time, to sleep? Fuck, that shit gave me goosebumps... I love that guy and he lets me sleep next to him... Got me giggling and kicking my feet in the air." Rain, confused: "...I thought you said you didn't like giving head?" Dew, deep sigh: "Perhaps I will get over it, being in love with this guy-"

Choose Your Own Adventure; Imp Style End
(Previous Post)
Your stomach rumbles, and Omega lets out a laugh that shakes your whole body.
As time passes, and days turn into weeks, then months, and years, you grow accustomed to the striking volume of his voice, and find comfort in the rolling thunder of his snores as you sleep contentedly on his chest.
Good days, bad days, you spend them together, and while you could have never wholly prepared yourself for the times when Omega falls silent, lost in distant memories, or how it makes you feel when he cries, you press yourself close to him in those moments, and that's enough.
It's always enough for him, just knowing you're there.
You learn secrets you'll never tell, and you hear all names that only seem to fall from his lips late at night.
You play outside and go for long rides to more places you've never seen before.
Omega feeds you sneaky treats when, "Really, Megs? You're going to spoil them!" and "They're not spoiled, they're stale!" and "Is that a fucking dad joke, Megs? Cause they're Chips?"
Tumblr media
Your name is Chips, and you're spoiled as Hell, but all imps should be!

Swiss, in the infirmary, being tested for a concussion: "-So I said, 'You can sit on my face, it'll be fine!' and it was fine, until I remembered I cracked one of the slats on my bed frame last week and had taken the box of toys out from under it that was propping it up, and, well, down I went in two ways." Omega, sighing, taking notes: "And how are you feeling?" Cumulus, face in her hands: "Well..." -turning redder by the minute- "He... I, uh..." Swiss, giving two thumbs up: "I mean I was already in position, ya know?" Omega: "...I don't think you're concussed, but you are damned stupid." -clicks his pen- "I respect the commitment though."

Choose Your Own Bea's Adventure 2
Tumblr media
(Part One Here)
Although you're hungry, you weigh your options and decide to take the long way around the lake.
The nights have been warmer lately, and the lake has been filled with life again these past few evenings, from frog calls to the sounds of animals stopping by to take a quick drink, you sometimes watch their comings and goings from your kitchen window.
But it's different, actually being outside like this.
"It may look nice," you recall Mountain -the tall clergyman who works alongside you in the gardens, and bane of your existence at present- warning you during your first year at the abbey, "but never let the woods fool you into thinking it's safe."
At the time, you hadn't so much scoffed at his words, but rather nodded understandingly.
You're not an idiot after all, and in your own way you'd said as much, which had only made his already furrowed brow pinch, and his lower eye lid twitch.
He made sure to repeat his warning often, to the point of annoyance, after that.
You really don't know how many times you had to promise him you wouldn't do... exactly what you're doing now.
As you trudge along the lake's edge, the trail begins to soften under your feet, and you take a moment to examine the path ahead, frowning when the hard packed earth gives way to sand and mud.
It has been raining a lot lately, but not enough for the soil to have eroded away to this extent.
You cast your light downwards and frown; A trail of flattened mud and dredged up sand leads from the water's edge and across the ground in front of you, the grass further inland is still trying to spring back up from where it was pressed down...
Something heavy had to have been dragged through here quite recently, but whatever it was had to have been at least two feet wide, and if it came from the water...

Dew, walking into the infirmary: "Quintessence ghouls." Omega, leaning out of his office: "Yes?" Aether, rolling out from behind a desk: "Yeup?" Aeon, popping out from behind a privacy curtain: "Hi?" Dew, clasping his hands together in front of him: "I took my allergy meds together with some melatonin before looking up the side effects." Omega, clicking is tongue: "...Diphenhydramine?" Dew: -nodding- Aether, taking out his notepad: "How many tablets?" Dew: "One melatonin, and two allergy tablets because one never works for me." Aeon, sighing: -untucking one of the beds- Dew, looking between the three of them: "...Am I gonna be okay or...?" Omega: "How long ago did you take it?" Dew: "Fifteen... twenty minutes ago?" Aether, getting up and guiding Dew over to the bed: "Yeahh... Here, climb in." Aeon, tucking Dew into bed: "If you see the hat man later on, it's probably just Swiss fucking with you, he has the late shift tonight." Dew, yawning: "Am I gonna be okay...?" Aether: "Yeah, you'll be o..." -notices Dew is asleep- "...'kay. He's gonna have some fucked up dreams tonight." Aeon and Omega: -nodding solemnly- Swiss, showing up for his shift already in his scrubs, holding his coffee cup: "Howdy, all-" -sees Dew- "...Of all the days to have left my top hat in the dorms."

Mountain, delirious from a lack of sleep: "Oughhh... I require... the small husband..." -making grabby hands at Dew before picking him up- "We go goodbye now..." Dew, being flung over Mountain's shoulder: "...I'm not THAT small..." Mountain, groggily: "...Comparatively small husband." Dew: "That's better."

Sibling of Sin: "Sometimes, ya know, you'll run into one of the ghouls, and it's, it's fine, yeah? I mean, it's cool and all, but, like, once you see one of them eating a sock you kind of realize that's... that's just a cat in human form." -pointing at Mountain yowling and clawing at the door to be let outside- "See? That's cat behavior." Copia, in tears: "You have hands! You can open the door yourself!" -watching Mountain bat at the door- "USE YOUR HANDS-" Sibling of Sin: "...Satan's bravest warriors."

Freshly Summoned Dew, up late because his brain is being mean, using his combined powers to steam stains out of the carpeting: "Cheaper than therapy, I guess..." Omega, who has been standing in the hallway watching him: -waiting to tell him the abbey has free therapy sessions by default, but also in awe of how easily he can remove wine stains-

Swiss, hanging out with Dew: "So, humor me here, you fulltime ghoulies, you guys have, like, individual scents, yeah?" Dew, nodding: "Yeah, it's like, our base smell. Humans have them, too, but it's usually subtler." Swiss, curious: "What do I smell like?" Dew, thinking: "On a good day? Kind of like movie theater popcorn, which might not sound that impressive, but it's the vibe, too. Like, smells like going to the movies with friends on a summer day and you just got that first blast of AC on your skin. Not unpleasant, but kind of bittersweet." Swiss, surprised: "Huh, so it's more than just a scent, it's a vibe, too? Okay, what about you? What have you been told you smell like?" Dew, looking away: "Uhhh..." Swiss: "What? What's wrong?" Cumulus, walking by: "He smells like oat milk and honey, because he's such a sweetheart~!" Dew: "I do not! I smell like brimstone and hellfire!" Cirrus, poking her head in: "Warm baked potato with sour cream that was cooked in foil over a campfire with a hint of s'mores." Dew, embarrassed: "Only the fire part is correct!" Aether, from the kitchen: "Kind of like warm chamomile tea with condensed milk on a rainy day!" Swiss, leaning over and smelling him: "..." Dew, flustered: "What??" Swiss, about to cry: "...You smell like the tres leches cake made by my grandma-"

Dew's diary back when he was a water ghoul: "Dear Diary, Today I found a pretty rock! :) It is very nice and I enjoy looking at it! Also Alpha fell down the stairs! :((( He got very hurt, but he is okay now! :)-" Dew's diary nowadays: "I never had a good relationship with my father, and I feel like that may be part of the reason why I have such a hard time dealing with male authority figures, especially when they try to play at being nice. Also I pushed Alpha down the stairs today, because he's a bitch. >:)-"

Copia, stressed beyond all belief: "Okay, I'm not mad -maybe a just a little- but I am VERY disappointed in you all! Your behavior today was inexcusable and I-" -looking at the group- "Hold on, where's the little one?" Aurora: -points at herself- Cumulus, confused: -gesturing between the two of them- Copia, shakes his head: "No, not you, two. Where is THE little one." -scanning the room- "You lot are all out here misbehaving, and Dewdrop is nowhere to be seen?? Lord below, what mischief could he be getting up to?!" -Meanwhile- Dew, in his bedroom, headphones on, laying on his belly, kicking his feet and doing sudoku puzzles: "Aw, shit, there's already a 2 in this row... Goddammit, I was on a roll."

Swiss, watching Dew build his nest: "I watched a documentary about penguins once where the male penguins would build big, fancy nests out of shiny pebbles to attract mates, but I've only ever seen Dew sleep in his nest alone." -hands on his hips- "I mean, he's not a penguin, but that seems kind of lonely... Maybe I should join him...?" -Several Hours Later- Swiss, trapped under a sleeping Dew, surrounded by an Ikea's worth of pillows: "...I have been pebbled." Dew: -pleased little penguinlike noises-

Aether, in the infirmary doing an interview: "People ask why we have a medical wing here at the abbey, and it's partly because we're so remote, but also because it helps to have a place to take sick and/or injured individuals to recover where they can be safely monitored and assessed properly before we determine if further intervention is needed." Omega, sitting down: "There's a lot of stuff we can't do in house, like MRI's, organ transplants... Basically anything that would require more invasive treatments or examinations, except for, say, a broken bone, that we can handle." Aether, nodding: "For the most part, we're just here to answer questions people might have in regards to their health, and to make sure all of our residents are up to date on their shots." Omega: "Speaking of which..." -getting up and grabbing a broom handle to prod a hissing Dew latched onto the ceiling- "Get your ass down here and let me give you your booster shots, you feral possum of a man-" Aether, poking at him with a yard stick: "You have to kind of push at his hands or his claws won't retract-"

Rain, very tired and clingy: "Dew, if we were penguins, I would make you a nest out of the best, prettiest rocks so we could raise our adopted egg baby in penguin-y luxury." Dew, who is half asleep and only heard the word penguin: "I could take one in a fight, I think-"

Mountain, walks outside holding a ladder: "Okay, so, what's the emergency?" Aether, taking the ladder from him: "Dew has a doctor's appointment, and he didn't want to go, so-" -setting up the ladder- "-he scaled the fucking walls and is perched up there like an angry cat." Dew, from above: "Bitch." Mountain, squinting: "Oh, wow, that's... Damn, that's pretty high up." -sees Omega walking over- "What's he doing here?" Omega, waving: "I'm Dew's primary care provider. Aether called and said they'd be running late, so I came here instead. Figured something like this might happen." Mountain, watching Aether hold the ladder steady: "...Does this happen often?" Omega, starting up the ladder: "Only when he knows he has to get a shot." -ascending the wall- "Okay, get over here you baby." Dew, hissing: "Get away from me, you dick-" Mountain, makes eye contact with Aether: "We're telling everyone, right?" Aether, glancing up as he hears sobbing, then back over: "Oh definitely." Dew, in tears: "NO! A lollipop will not make me feel better!" Omega: "What about two lollipops-"

Swiss, looking at a map: "Rain, c'mon, dude, pull over, we're lost." Rain, grumpily: "We're not lost, I know where we're going!" Swiss, upset: "You don't have to shout at me!" Rain: "I wouldn't have to shout if you stopped telling me I don't know what I'm doing!" Dew, in the backseat, zooted beyond all belief on carsickness prevention medication: "If I was a duck, I would be one that quacks." Swiss, turning to Rain: "..." Rain, sighing and staring out the windshield: "..." Swiss, checking his phone: "There's a McDonald's, like, two minutes away, we'll stop, regroup-" -looks at Dew in the rearview- "-feed the duck, and proceed from there, yeah?" Rain, putting on his turn signal: "Yeah, yeah-" Dew, in the most world weary, sleepy voice: "Mibdomble's..."
