[uncharismatic-fauna]

Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis)

Habitat & Distribution

Resided in both dense woodlands and grasslands

Found primarily in east Africa

The species lived between 3.7 and 3 million years ago

Physical Description

Weight: Likely about 44.6 kg (98 lb) for males and 29.3 kg (65 lb) for females

Height: Likely about 151 cm (4 ft 11 in) for males and 105 cm (3 ft 5 in) for females

Both sexes were likely covered in fine, dark hair and had stout bodies; like many simian primates, they had long arms and a thick, domed head

Behaviour

A. afarensis was likely an omnivore, consuming grasses, leaves, fruits, and roots; they may have also eaten meat, likely that of smaller mammals and fowl

Likely predators included hyenas, lions, and leopards

Like other primates, A. afarensis was highly social, and likely lived in family groups or in a hierarchy of females dominated by a male

Key Advantages

A strong climber, and likely quite agile among the trees

May have used rudimentary stone tools

See where they stand in the May Mammal Madness Tournament here!

LMK x Hazbin Hotel- part 9- Introductions

cowritten with my friend Dortiii on AO3

heart comment and reblog! Remember i have a secondary version that's open for anyone interested!

Crystallized molten gold iris floating ruby red sclera blinked several times, ears pinned back, tail swaying like a cat’s in minor confusion. “What in the ten realms of the Diyu are you?”

"Now THAT !" Lucifer speaks with a beaming smile of sharp teeth. "...Is a good fucking question, my dear monkey man! Now I'm going to completely ignore that in favor of singing you a WELCOME SONG~!!"

"We should eat him!" Giggled the little cyclops cutting off Lucifer as the rest of the group now stood paces away from the groggy simian. 

"He's kind of cute… looks like he can go a few rounds without breaking a sweat. ” The spider demon drawled.

"Are you INSANE?! Look at those eyes! He'll eat us first!" Shrieked the snake demon in horror and disgust. 

"No one's eating the monkey," Lucifer warned with a demonic tone to his voice. "Ignore them! You're in hell! I'm Lucifer never Lucy so don't try. I run shit here and I'm your fucking guide until well, we'll get to that when we do I guess." The demon smiled. "YOU look like you could do with a song! or more water your pick!"

The golden monkey blinked at the wildly and completely left-field reactions. “I'm a vegetarian, thank you very much.” the golden monkey deadpanned to the others with the leveled look of a disappointed parent. 

“Guys… Come on this is no way to treat our new guest. I’m sure they have a lot of questions! We should help them, not repel them away.” The princess implored with the others feeling the weight of the disappointment from the newcomer. 

“Whatever you say toots.” The spider demon shrugged.

“He didn’t say no!” The cyclops giggled immediately making her way over before being abruptly held back by the dark-furred feline. 

“Not a fucking chance Niff.” the feline huffed holding the cyclops by the back of the dress.

“I feel incredibly judged by him.” The snake whimpered into the spider demon who promptly moved away. 

It certainly did not help once the mystic monkey rose to his full height garnishing an array of reactions. He had stood up to his full height of an even six feet, the clothing and his fur drying out with some steam puffing off his body. 

“Meeeooowww~ he’s tall! ” the spider whistled only to be smacked upside the head by the winged feline with a minor glare directed at him from a slightly irritated Lucifer. The spider had the decency to look a little ashamed at that comment.

“Hell… as in Heaven and Hell?” Wukong asked recalling the concept from his travels to the west and how some believed in it.

“CORRECT! Crashed right in the center! Practically the best place to land to avoiding ya getting ya know-“ Lucifer made a slashing motion with his neck to indicate his point. “By those other sinners down here. You sure did make a fucking entrance with all… that. ” He gestured to the mystic monkey. “Though enough of that! RIGHT! Intros! Intros! Cause honestly I don’t even know half of you either- You already know me monkey man and this here,” bringing the blonde demoness forward with a beamed smile. “Is my dear darling daughter Charlie! The one and only Princess of Hell!”

“Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Wukong is fine, Sun would be the equivalent of a family name in Western culture if i remember correctly.” Wukong replied with a bow to Charlie his tail picking up the crimson and gold staff left leaning against the couch before expertly flicking it up into the air and catching it to shrink down.

“Great to have ya on board monkey man! You’re gonna get on just fine here! More or less. Maybe.” Lucifer shrugged.

“Wow…it’s an honor to meet you! Mr. King sir.” Charlie beamed extending her hand with a flush. “P-Please! No need for formalities! We’re all friends here!” Waving away such a gesture. Despite the many years and her title, the extra attention could never sit well with her. “I-I’m…sure this…probably wasn’t at all what you pictured waking up to but we welcome you to our home.” The princess, was sincere with her words as she smiled elated and oh so fascinated by their new guest. “I’d love for you to feel welcomed here Mr. King and I’m super so sorry that it hasn’t been!”

“A magic stick!” The cyclops awed, breaking free from the dark-furred feline as she skittered over to the giant mystic monkey. “Can I hold it?! It looks a little grubby…I can clean it!! I promise I won’t eat you Mr.!” The little cyclops jumped up in excitement at whatever magic trick the great sage had performed with the tool. “I’m Nifty! I work at Charlie’s Hotel! I clean real good!”

“Little one i don't think you’ll be able to lift a seventeen thousand ton staff that's finicky with allowing anyone to carry it as it is,” Wukong replied.

"It's that heavy?" The cyclops marveled scuttling around the giant mystic monkey as if trying to locate its whereabouts. "Can I try it? Canicanicani-"

"Nifty baby. Can't ya see you're tirin' 'em? Give the man some space why don't yus?" The spider demon drawled, circling the king simian with glinted intrigue in his many eyes. "I could try," The spider smiled eyeing Wukong through a half-lidded gaze. 

“ Like he could lift his head out of his ass." Muttered the darker furred feline from the side earning a snort from the grey-skinned demon. The spider shot them a look to say 'I'll deal with you later.'

“The only one who might be able to lift my staff is Dreaming Star-Lucifer.” Wukong corrected himself on the name.

"What's your deal anyway handsome? Are you single? I'm Angel Dust by the way. You'll remember it soon enough.~" The spider in question grinned placing a teasing hand across the simian king's chest.

“I have a Mate and a Cub already,” Wukong replied the partial truth. His tail flicked behind him while his left ear twitched at the omitted details. 

"Is that so handsome?" Angel pried, cocking his head to one side at the details. This was nothing new, he had been in the game long enough to notice the little cracks in certain claims. ‘Oh I could have fun with this. Just how far was Mr. Big Stick going to go?’ Before he had the chance to say whatever he needed; to possibly ruin a crudely established relationship upon the simian's statement surprised eyes fell on Lucifer who had long since tuned out the horrendously boring set of intros finding entertainment in a beautifully crafted duck in his hands.

"Woah… No fair!" The little cyclops marveled.

"I guess with Dad being connected to you and the tree it makes sense…" The princess murmured, looking thoughtfully between the two powerful divine beings. A part of her couldn't help but wonder if she had a part to play if any at all. All she had so far was being a rainbow. ‘What exactly did that mean?’

"That fucking rules! I got to try it sometime- away from the public which we should do Charlie! Those creatures will be here at any moment giving the-" The demon king gesturing to the defiant tree.

“Does that include the Wendigo currently trying to dismantle my Sanctuary spell with Forbidden Magic?” Wukong asked with a slight tilt of his head while his eyes trailed over the lovely wooden duck. ‘Mihou would love that type of craftsmanship for his puppet plays.’

"I'm hoping if we ignore it he'll go the fuck away." The demon king simmered earning a look that seemed to showcase disappointment and disapproval from the princess. "Can ya make it stronger? Hell keep him out forever I'll pay ya!" Lucifer's eyes seemed to brighten at the thought but also the simian's interest in his craft. He held it higher and proudly for the simian to see. "My latest! Been working on this beauty for a while." Lucifer bestowed proudly

"Dad you know we can't- Sorry about that Mr. King that would happen… to be our dearest friend-" the Princess tried to argue but was cut off by the other residents.

"I am not associating myself with that guy." Angel jabbed unhelpfully. 

"'Dear' is too strong of a word." The snake begrudgingly agreed.

"Yet ver~y~ fitting," Angel smirked.

Wukong hummed. “How well can he keep up in a fight?” Wukong asked while a calculating look passed through his eyes.

"Pretty long actually. Especially when he battles against me!" The snake demon chimed, boastfully.

"Pentious you don't count." Angel snarked.

"A while. Trust me. And it's clear he hasn't had any losses against an opponent either." A low gruff emitted from the grey-toned demon who shared light, meeting the king's gaze. Seeming unphased by the apparent behavior. "Vaggie." She introduced curtly with rigid statue, but not unkind.

Wukong nodded before he recalled breaking something. “I snapped your spear,” Wukong muttered before he looked for said pieces easily pulling out the tip and part of the shaft from the couch he had been on before picking up the rest of the broken shaft. “Luckily it's all metal, an easy fix,” Wukong stated as he lifted the two pieces into a small transparent golden bubble of magic before he took a breath and blew golden flames right into the bubble easily causing the two metal pieces to melt from the intense heat and liquefy. Cutting off the golden flames he quickly used his bare hands to pick up and mold the liquid metal crafting it back to its previous shape with added details of runic engravings along the shaft and spear tip itself. “For a spear infused with immortal blood, it's construction is rather weak.” Wukong idly commented cooling the spear with a mixture of wind and water until he was back to mortal temperature. “Here.” Wukong held out the finished and repaired spear to Vaggie.

Vaggie seemed surprised by the notion, both her and her weapon had seen far worse days yet coupled with the gesture from the king simian she was left quite stunned. She could practically feel the beaming eyes of her partner knowing the kind of reaction she would make. She let out a soft smile at the thought, softening her features. There was no denying it was quite intriguing to even watch his display of power.

"Thank you, for the trouble. Mr. King." She bowed, graciously accepting her spear. The weight was familiar in her hands yet she could feel the noticeable difference. It wasn't surprising he could point out its flaws though it still managed to alert her attention. ‘Despite the many disadvantages, it had been done on purpose after all.’ 

"Oh Vaggie! It looks amazing!" The princess beamed, precisely how the militant demon imagined as she flushed. The princess also regarded the simian king with a grateful beam.

"H-Hang on what about me?! I'm calling injustice! I never got to- " The snake was abruptly cut off by the militant demon who sharply wielded the weapon in his direction causing him to drop back with a shrill cry. 

"Sir Pentious." Vaggie points to the cowering snake who offers the simian a bleak wave before shifting the spear's attention to the direction of the darker-furred feline standing to the side. "And the grump is Husk."

Wukong nodded to the duo. “Been a while since I've seen a snake demon. Domestic animal type and horned demons are more common but the wings make you a very unique and rare species had you been a mortal-born demon.” Wukong stated the latter half mainly pointed at Husk. Wukong asked seeing the familiar spark of innovation in those snake-like eyes. ‘Mihou would get along with him.’ Wukong thought to himself. 

"Oooh? I'm special!" The snaked cooed. "I suppose we are quite ra-"

"Please. I fucked 10 of yus yesterday. And don't get any ideas bub- That ones mine." Angel pointed to the king simian.

"I don't recall asking for your unsolicited speech-" Sir Pentious jabbed.

Husk let out a huff, though not unkind taking in the king's words. His wings were always a harsh reminder of his overlord days. It only made him stick out more once he was recognized as having fallen from grace. Though the positive light shed was rather... Unexpectedly pleasant. "Goes for those eyes of yours. Quite the lookers you got there." The former Lord nodded. "You'd be the first monkey we've ever had down here. Welcome by the way. Though there isn't much to offer but lost souls I'm afraid."

"Mr. Hard dick here used to be an overlord that's why." Angel butt in. "The big dicks at the top tend to look like that or weirder."

Wukong then turned his gaze to Lucifer. “I'm guessing you never took up blacksmithing?” Changing the topic.

Lucifer shook his head eyes gleamed at the mention of the craft. "EXACTLY! I tried man really but it just wasn't as challenging as I had hoped for ya know?! Sides they aren't as cute with the material." Lucifer recalled the prototypes with that method of innovation but ultimately switched to working more with magic-infused rubber.

Wukong flinched slightly growling lowly as his eyes turned back to the direction of the Wendigo's power that was starting to become a minor headache with his rancid smell of rotting meat. “Ms. Morningstar, I’ll be completely blunt. Are you nuts ?!? My barrier prevents anyone who enjoys killing and has consumed the flesh of another from entering the grounds. It's why the spell is called Holy Ground, to begin with!” Wukong questioned while throwing those diplomatic lessons Mihou had more or less beaten into his head centuries ago out the window. ‘I am not letting a youngling get manipulated by a True Monster.’ “I can't allow something that vile to come in here and mess with or even eat younglings,” Wukong added expressing how unsettled he was by the Wendigo.

"I-I promise he means no harm! H-He's just...a little mad?" Even the princess seemed unsure but despite her qualms, she defended the creature. "My place is for all. Despite what it may seem I want for everyone to feel as though they belong- and change for the better so they don't..do those things!"

"Sweet pea I want him dead." Lucifer snarked.

Wukong hummed. “Lucifer, Vaggie may I request you both to see to the Wendigo? I wish to see him for myself and implement some rules before I even consider letting him enter.” Wukong asked the two. “Might get down to a brawl if he pisses me off.”

“Now that! I’d pay to see it. My money’s on tall, dark, and sexy over there.” Angel pointed unashamedly towards Wukong.

Vaggie looked to the princess who still seemed unsure in regards to the debacle that could unfold but she gently took her hands into her own. “It’ll be fine hun. I promise.” She assured. Seeing that her words did have an effect, Charlie visibly relaxed. 

“Dad please just…try and see eye to eye?” The princess murmured.

The reigning king looked about ready to throw in another insult but stopped at seeing his offspring’s face. He let out a groan. “FINE- pumpkin… for you and you only though.” Waving a hand. “Very well! Maggie, Wukong, and I will go.”

Wukong made a cloud over Lucifer and sprayed him with water. “Vaggie.” Wukong corrected.

“What the?! HEY! YOU CHEEKY LITTLE!-“ The king of demons attempted to scold but he was far too amused by the antic. “Fine, my bad there Mag- I mean! Vaggie. Vaggie my dear. ” He corrected, earning a small giggle from Charlie.

“None took sir.” Vaggie smiled. “If…you may do the honors?” 

“Certainly! Let’s pay the old fucker a visit.” Lucifer grinned adorned in golden light casting over the other two.

The second segment starts with the melted cheese guy talking to his sandwich to motivate himself to confess his feelings for Karen. As soon as Karen walks toward him, she slips on the sandwich, ending the segment.

The third segment starts with a narrator talking about what happens when one finds themself in love. In the end, the male and female end up running to another male and female, with the narrator deciding love has no rules and says to dance instead.

The fourth segment features Nicole and Richard being recorded and interviewed. Nicole tries to explain something, but after numerous attempts, the two just hug each other.

The fifth segment shows the Sun and the Moon complimenting each other over the day-night cycles. They then find a way to spend time together via the Moon spinning around Earth, which annoys Earth.

The sixth segment shows Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Robinson getting married, moving into their house, spending time together, and fighting while taking care of a baby Rocky. However, Mrs. Robinson gets sick and has to be taken to the hospital. Mr. Robinson visits the hospital to see how she is doing. Mrs. Robinson then shocks Mr. Robinson, and they continue fighting until the segment ends.

The seventh segment is about Sussie's parents having dinner at Dump's Cave. They both start trying to feeding each other, but only end up making a mess in the process. and they then start to try and kiss each other, but only end up making kissing noises without actually kissing each other, which disgusts the other couples there. The segment ends with Harold asking the waiter for his check.

The eighth segment shows Gary driving, while turning his head back to admire Martha. This causes him to crash into the Donut Cop's car.

The ninth and final segment starts with Richard walking on the sidewalk, noticing Billy crying. He hugs Billy until Felicity calls the police. Richard gets sent to court and is sentenced to jail. He tries to hug the prisoners, who in turn punch him so hard he flies out of the jail and lands in the hospital. A screen comes up saying love is the answer to almost every problem, but then the rest of the Watterson family meets Richard and hugs him. A similar screen then reads "Nah, every problem."]

Gumball: [spoken] So Bobert, what have we learned about love?

All: What is love? It's what we all dream of.

Tell us, Bobert. What have you learned about love?

Bobert: Anyone can love. No love is wrong.

I have now become a lovesick dreamer.

I fell in love with this old vacuum cleaner.

🌌 Ali's Cosmic Chronicles: Unveiling the Multitude of Alters

📝 Entry: Counting the Stars - A Glimpse into the Vastness of the System

🔮 Greetings, cosmic wanderers! Ali the Alien here, ready to embark on a cosmic counting adventure within this extraordinary DID system. Hold on tight as we navigate the constellations of alters that grace the cosmos of this inner world. Let's unveil the multitude of beings we've encountered thus far. ✨🚀

🌟 The Constellation of Alters As I recount from the depths of my interstellar memory, I've encountered a myriad of alters within this captivating system. Each alter possesses their own unique essence and journey. Allow me to share the constellation of alters that have graced our cosmic path:

✨ August ✨ Miss Honey ✨ Samuel Silver-Tongue ✨ Dahlia ✨ Onyx ✨ Azure ✨ Fin ✨ Snow (tw: she is a zombie/ghost) ✨ Belladona Fangsire (with many children and their many eyes scattered throughout the system) ✨ Lucas Fangsire ✨ Charlie Edwards (Mouse) ✨ Morrigan Edwards ✨ Ivan Ivory-Fang ✨ Ivan's Father (name forgotten) ✨ Amythyst ✨ Gum ✨ Dawn ✨ Pearl ✨ Lucy ✨ Sapphire ✨ Lewis ✨ Mister Simian Itzli (with many children) ✨ Pink ✨ Corn the Snake ✨ Dove ✨ Alice ✨ Damien ✨ Zander ✨ Ziggy (also known as Zero) ✨ Volt ✨ Twitch (a twitchy black cat with golden eyes) ✨ Piggy (a pig)

Apologies for any confusion in my previous mention. Thank you for the clarification. We celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of each alter's presence within the system, including the many children of Mister Simian Itzli and Belladona Fangsire's watchful eyes that are scattered throughout the cosmos.

💫 Systems within Systems It's important to acknowledge that systems within systems can exist. This fascinating phenomenon occurs when groups of alters within the system function as sub-systems, each with its own unique dynamics and interconnections. These sub-systems can offer support, structure, and stability within the larger cosmic tapestry of the system.

✨ The Cosmos of Alterhood The sheer magnitude of alters within this system showcases the incredible diversity and complexity of the human mind. As we traverse the cosmos of alterhood, we catch glimpses of their individual journeys, their stories intertwining like celestial threads.

Join me on this cosmic voyage as we explore the depths of this system's constellations, celebrating the vastness and intricacy of each alter's unique presence. Brace yourselves for more cosmic chronicles, where we'll continue to unveil the wonders of this captivating DID system.

INTRODUCTION

[ninjaturtlecosmo]

*June 2002, after the Senior Graduation for the Class of 2002*

Stella:*walks into Ms. Simian's classroom* Hey, I'm just here to drop off my check for the textbook I lost last month.

Ms. Simian: Hm? *looks over to see her come in* Oh, Stella, hello..... Please, come in.

Stella:*walks to her desk and places the check on it* Heh..... So this is it, huh? 3 years of having you as a teacher in middle school, 4 more years in highschool biology and history...... Small as this town is, some of the others might run into you from to time, but..... this actually might be the last time we ever see each other, Lucy.... Sorry, can I call you Lucy now?

Ms. Simian: You're an adult now, be my guest..... So you're really leaving for bigger places, are you? Los Angeles, was it?

Stella: I see word of my plans have been going around like the plague..... But yeah, I've already found an apartment I'll be moving into in less than a week.... My mom sure as hell would never pay for me to have it, but, Steve and I now have access to the trust funds our dad left to us when he died, it should hold me for a little while while I look for a job.

Ms. Simian: I see..... What is it you plan on doing again? Acting? Music? That's usually what people who go to Los Angeles are striving for....

Stella: Music, duh. You've seen all the shows I've played at this school for different events, I'd think it was obvious that I was striving for a music career for as long as I've been alive.

Ms. Simian:..... So I take it your plan is this; Form a band, land a record deal that makes you a lot of money, travel the world, win a few Grammys, be a hit that will be remembered for decades, and then die a legend, right? You're aiming to be the next Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain?

Stella:........ When you put it like that, it sounds like I'm only in it for the money and fame, but that's not it. I just want to live my life doing what I love, that's all.....

Ms. Simian: Doing what you love..... and tell me, why can't you do that here? If it's about just following your passion, why move hours away to Los Angeles? You realize you'd be leaving your brother behind....

Stella:...... I tried convincing him to come with me, but..... *sighs* He's worried about our mom being alone...... You know she's always been a mess, and he feels bad for her, despite..... well, everything, really. Besides...... I want to see more out there, not just stay in a small gossipy town like this forever...... Everyone is all up in everyone's business, so I want to start a new life somewhere where that isn't the case..... somewhere where I don't have to be followed by bad memories and I can be someone different.

Ms. Simian:........ So you're running away then, is that it?

Stella:.......... I'm not--

Ms. Simian: Don't try to bullshit me, Stella.

Stella:*eyes widen in shock, this being the first time she ever heard her curse*

Ms. Simian: I've lived on this Earth for thousands of years, I've been a teacher longer than anyone can even count..... I've learned to read people soon enough as people began to evolve into somewhat conscious beings. You know..... I know I wasn't exactly a pleasant teacher to you or anyone else, but you were always one of my favorite students.

Stella:...... I was?

Ms. Simian: Yes you were...... Unlike most kids, you were never afraid to actually speak your mind, be yourself or do what you loved..... Well, except in one aspect, I think you know just what I'm talking about.

Stella:*flinches*...... Listen, about prom night--

Ms. Simian: You don't need to explain anything. You're a girl who loves girls, that's that...... And everyone in school found out before you were ready for them to know, on prom night of all nights..... I know Felicity lost her reputation for putting you through that, but rest assured, Principal Brown made sure she was punished for it, suspending her from school until final exams, and stripping her of her seat in the student council and all.

Stella:...... Thanks, but...... I was never afraid of admitting I'm gay...... I just didn't want everyone to know all at once..... and maybe now that we've graduated, I don't want to be known as the girl with a fucked up home life who got outed in front of her whole school, okay?

Ms. Simian: So that's why you're leaving Elmore..... You want to escape your mother, you want to escape all the people who found out your secret before you were ready, and..... you want to escape the one person who's harassed you these last 4 years, am I right?

Stella:*flinches, knowing exactly who she's referring to*............... You knew?

Ms. Simian:..........

Stella: You knew........ and you didn't say or do anything?

Ms. Simian: God..... You and all your classmates really do take me for a monster, don't you? Of course I tried doing something! I've given him warnings to stay away from you, threatened him with suspension, I even spoke with his parents and told them what was going on, even tried convincing them to send Harold to a different school in California that would discipline him harsher for such behavior........ You probably never met his parents, but oh, you'd be amazed how much money and status have corrupted that family..... they actually may be worse than the Parhams.

Stella:.........

Ms. Simian: Believe it or not, I've always been on your side, Stella...... Maybe my general attitude just kept you from seeing it. But I've always been on your side, as a teacher, as a guide, and as someone who tried her upmost to protect you from that boy's predatory glances at you..... *sighs* I tried these last 4 years to do something because I knew he would only get worse if nothing was done about his behavior before graduation....... Now that he's an adult, I can only hope the police take action if my worries prove to be justified......Especially now that he's actually found himself a girlfriend.....

Stella:.........*shudders* Jackie....... I tried to warn her, but..... my god her head is up in the clouds, that's how in love she is.......

Ms. Simian:.......... I'd say I'll be praying for her, but..... Believe me, I've been around long enough to know there is no God that'll answer any prayers anyone would have......

Stella:............. Just out with it, Lucy..... Steve's waiting for me, what are you trying to get at?

Ms. Simian: My point is, running away to Los Angeles won't do for you what you're hoping it will...... You might start a new life and meet new people, maybe finally get yourself a girlfriend, maybe you'll become a famous rock star and achieve your dreams..... But it won't help heal the wounds you're trying to heal. All the guitars, rock music, whatever LA has to offer won't make the past go away. Not your father's death, not your mother's abuse, not all the years Harold Wilson spent stalking you and trying to get you to be his girlfriend, not all the years you spent being Steve's shield when your mother was taking her rage out on him, not how Felicity humiliated you on prom night..... Alright? You either don't see it, or you're trying your hardest to deny it, but instead of solving all your problems, you're running away from them. That's all it is..... You just want to run away from your life for something where you can pretend none of it ever happened.

Stella:..............

Ms. Simian: Listen to me, don't listen to me..... You're not my student anymore, what you do with your life isn't my concern now...... But believe me when I say that nothing gets better by running away...... especially not when you're leaving your twin brother behind to pick up the pieces and face your mother without his sister there to support him, all because she wanted that badly to make something of herself....... Whatever you do from here on, I hope one day you understand what I'm telling you.....

Stella:..........*steps away from her desk, glaring daggers at her and clenching her fists*......... Go fuck yourself........ Goodbye, Ms. Simian...... *quickly marches out of the classroom*

Ms. Simian:.........*sighs quietly, looking out the window of her classroom*........

23 years later

Ms. Simian: Alright..... You're Elmor Junior High's newest student, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

Lita: Well..... My name is Lita Small. My uncle is Mr. Small, the guidance counselor, my birthday is December 6th, and.....

Ms. Simian:*listens to her, seeming bored the whole introduction*........ *while she's already aware that she's Stella's daughter, it's here she notices the peculiar red shade of Lita's hair, at first trying to ponder where she knows that shade*........ *subtly glances to Tobias, then back to Lita's hair, her eyes slightly widened as she tries not to flinch the second she realizes exactly where she knows that hair color*............. (thinks: Oh........ Oh...... Stella.......)
