[ID: A digital sketch in black and white. A screaming and crying snake (avatar of Muse) is coiled around a heart shaped cake that reads 'happy bye' on the top. The snake is surrounded by the Becile Bots. Dee is screaming back. The Jack says placatingly, "W-We'll always be with you! Kinda!" The Skull scowls while holding a forlorn looking Tatters. Hare winces and says, "Eeesh." Scratch makes an anime-style sweatdrop-and-closed eye expression. Riker grins smugly at the viewer and says, "I get a boyfriend in the next project." Locksmith's disembodied, X-eyed head lays on the table wearing a party hat. End ID]

@ghoulishjester suggested this as an end-of-blog celebration, and while I'm still looking for something to do IRL, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something really really stupid

The Broken Vanity

There was always something for Nico to fix around the manor. Even if he didn't know what it was. With all the residents and wild high jinx, something was always broken.

So when there was nothing on his list, Nico went searching for something to fix. It would only be a matter of time before he found something that someone had poorly hidden in fear of getting in trouble or the tell tale 'oops' somewhere in the halls. Only this time, it was neither of those things.

In one of the bedrooms, he heard someone slam a draw closed, and something hit the floor. Instead of an innocent oops, someone yelled in frustration and another thud. Well, that was still his cue!

Walking down the hall, he caught Alouette stalking out of her room, brush in hand. Even angry, he thought she looked so pretty. Grinning like a fool, he headed over with a wave. "Good morning, Alouette! I heard something fall. Did something break?"

Turning on her heels, she glared, but her face softened, just barely, when she saw Nico. "The vanity is falling apart. First, a door came off, and now the mirror! I'm off to find one around here that works," she huffed. It wasn't like the mirror itself was broken. But she needed to step out before she really lost her temper.

However, Nico just grinned wider. "I can fix it for you," he quickly offered. "I'll do my best to make it good as new!"

Alouette put a hand on her hip and sighed. "Do as you please, Chiot," she told him, waving a hand dismissively. It was old. She wasn't sure there was fixing it anymore. No point in getting her hopes up.

While she went to freshen up for the day, Nico stepped into her room to look the vanity over. It was a mess. The wood was chipped, and the drawer was tilted, too. Briefly he thought it might be older than all the bots!

But instead of looking put off, Nico looked excited. Alouette would be so happy when he was finished! He'd make it as good as new!

Hurrying downstairs, he grabbed everything he needed that wasn't already attached to make sure he could make it as beautiful as Alouette.

Replacement hinges knobs polished up to shine bright like a diamond. Varnish to protect it and give it some colour. And a few special tools to bring out the beauty in it. Confident he could make it perfect, Nico rushed upstairs.

Taking apart every piece, he carefully sanded them down and used wood putty to fix every dent and imperfection. They were old, but it was a good strong wood, so at least it was sturdy yet as he made sure the pieces would all still fit before varnish.

But before that, he fixed the drawers and laid out the mirror. He hadn't touched that yet. He wanted to save it for last.

Brushing on the dark varnish, Nico happily hummed as he thought about how Alouette would love it. He could picture it now, how her face lit up! She would be so happy. Maybe she'd even-.

Steam rushed through his vents, and he quickly shook his head. Hard enough he had to grab it before it went rolling away again. It was Nico's job to fix things in the manor. He should focus on that, not about how pretty Alouette was and wanting to hold her hands or go on walks.

Straightening up, Nico rolled his shoulders. He had a job to do, and he would get it done!

Once the doors and drawers were back in place, Nico beamed as he looked over his work. It really did look new! It shined in the light and was ready to put everything back in place. Well almost.

Sitting on the floor still was the mirror. He hadn't touched that yet. Nico had something special in mind for it. Sitting down in front of it, Nico crossed his arms and stared at the mirror. Hard. Fixing he could do, but this was new. Looking up pictures in his head, he tried to find something easy. But still, it had to be pretty enough for Alouette. She deserved the best!

After a while, Nico suddenly grinned and snapped his fingers. Getting the sander ready, just like before, he made sure the surface was perfectly smooth before getting some tools he’d never used before.

Putting the metal to the wood of the mirror, Nico very carefully started to carve. Chip by chip, he gouged into the wood, flowers blooming across the surface. They wound around the frame along curling vines with dainty leaves. It was slow going, and even with a few craft tricks up his sleeve, Nico didn't finish putting the vanity together until it was fairly late. Screwing in the last piece, he heard Alouette come in.

She stood in the doorway, arms crossed over her chest. Nico was blocking the vanity yet. “Chiot! What are you doing in a lady’s room?” She scolded. It was late enough she didn’t think he’d still need to be in there for a fallen door or mirror.

Jumping slightly, Nico quickly turned around, hiding his hands behind his back. “I was fixin’ your vanity. Just like I said,” he quickly explained. When she gave him a hard look, he sheepishly stepped away.

If she breathed it would have left her as Alouette looked at the fixed vanity. She thought he’d just fix the fallen mirror and the door. If she didn’t know better, she would assume he had just replaced her vanity with a new one. Stepping into the room, she ran her fingers over the flowers around the glass. “You carved these?”

Watching her face, Nico grinned proudly. She looked excited. Or at least as excited as he’d seen her yet. At the question, he nodded. “I did! I wanted to make something as pretty as you!” He babbled excitedly. Maybe a bit too honest for his own good.

Wisps of steam curled from her vents, and Alouette quickly looked away. But she smiled. “Thank you. It looks better than new,” she admitted. It was more than she was expecting. And Alouette was a bit at a loss for words.

Rocking on his heels a little, Nico still beamed proudly. “I’m real like you like it! I was, uh. I was hopin’ maybe now that I’m done you wouldn’t mind going on a walk around the grounds?” He tried.

“Chiot, it’s late,” she gently scolded.

Which made him deflate quickly. But before he could dwell on it long.

“We can go for a walk in the morning."

Epilogue, Part 1 of 2

Previous | Next

[ID: Nineteen digitally sketched panels in black and white. Some panels do not have anti-aliasing, making the lines more pixelated.]

[Panel 1: White text on black background reading, "Call connecting (ellipses)"]

[Panel 2: View from a webcam of Scratch adjusting its angle, with SFX: -fidget-. Scratch has different prosthetics now, including a more robust left arm, a proper left eye, a nose and mouth, and a neck vent with a circular mark on it. He is smiling and looks less tired than before At the bottom of the screen is a name plate like the ones present in video chat programs, reading 'Royce Ellis (he/him).' He wears a Walter Robotics t-shirt reading 'WR']

[Panel 3: No anti-aliasing. A shot of the top of a picnic table. At the bottom of the screen the name plate reads "Riker Szarka (he/him)." Riker says from off panel, "(em-dash) oh! It came through! Can you hear us, Scratch?"]

[Panel 4: Panel is split diagonally. In the top left, Scratch smiles and says out loud, "Video's a little grainy, but I can hear you!" In the bottom right, Riker, in pixelated lines with name plate, says, "Eh, best we can do with rest stop Wi-Fi."]

[Panel 5: Scratch narrates in white text outlined in black: "It's been a few months since the Beciles left town." Scratch in the present sits at his computer desk, hands folded over his stomach. We can see that he now also has a robust prosthetic right lower leg. He says, "I guess that means you finished your contract in Chicago?" Narration continues at the bottom: "They like to check in every other week or so."]

[Panel 6: Riker sits at the picnic table, looking into his phone in his hands. Dee is barely visible sitting on his far side from the viewer. The Skull stands at the end of the table looking at a map. Narration from Scratch says, "Riker's working a little, when he can." Riker says,"Yeah. We would've stayed longer, but we weren't makings ends meet. I got something lined up near Baltimore, though."]

[Panel 7: No anti-aliasing as Riker turns his phone to point at The Skull, who continues looking at the map (labeled 'Map'). Riker's name plate is present. Riker says from off panel, "We're gonna detour toward the Appalachias. The Skull wants to try and jog his memories like Hare and Jack." Scratch asks from off panel, "Is anyone else up?" The Jack says from off panel, "We're all here!"]

[Panel 8: Narration from Scratch: "The Jack gets more confident every time they call." Hare yawns (SFX: all caps -yawn-). No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. The Jack sits smiling, wearing a T-shirt that reads 'cubs' in all caps. Hare has an eye patch riveted over his missing right eye. The Jack says, "Hare and I are just awake for the call. It's The Skull's turn to ride up front."]

[Panel 9: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. The Skull finally looks up and says, "Plan is for me to drive once we're off the highway. The straight roads through the cornfields are good for practice." Hare smirks and says, "Lord knows you need it, leadfoot. How's that impossible metal stuff treating you, Scratch?"]

[Panel 10: Scratch smiles brightly and says, "It's light! I feel a lot better without so much weight to carry around." The Jack asks from off panel, "Did Mr. Walter retune your elec (ellpises) electro (ellipses)" Scratch says, "Electrolarynx. Yeah! I still mostly sign in person, but it's handy for video calls like this or for phoning in to work."]

[Panel 11: No anti-aliasing. The Skull lowers his brows sternly. Narration from Scratch: "The Skull still worries a lot, but he seems more at ease with himself." The Skull asks, "He's not tying your upgrades to your work, is he? No holding back on maintenance if you don't behave?"]

[Panel 12: Shot of Scratch's new left arm gesturing calmly. He says, "Not at all. Everything is covered by Walter Robotics. We're even discussing a slight pay raise now that I'm past probation!"]

[Panel 13: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Narration from Scratch: "Hare has matured… just a little." The Jack says excitedly, "That's great!" Hare grins and says, "If only we'd known remote work was so flush when you lived with us!" Scratch says from off panel, "Well, selling Becile Industries' secrets was a good foot in the door."]

[Panel 14: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Dee sits, looking at an e-Reader. Tatters sits on the table top by her hands, wearing a cat harness and leash. Hare says from off panel, "Psst, Dee. Say hello." Dee says flatly, "Hello." Scratch's narration: "Dee is still adjusting. But they're giving her time."]

[Panel 15: Same shot. Tatters looks over at something, her ears and whiskers perking up. Hare says from off panel, "We can't pull her away from that e-reader thingy you sent her. Once she got those library cards on it, it was all over."]

[Panel 16: No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Hare folds his arms on the table and looks to the side, asking, "(ellipses) Say, uhh. Did Rabbit get my last postcard?"]

[Panel 17: Profile shot of Scratch, looking relaxed. Narration reads: "For all that Locksmith tried to destroy us (ellipses)" Scratch says in the present, "She did. The 'bots were asking after you guys, actually. Could you send me a group photo to show them?"]

[Panel 18: Narration: "I think being forced to let go helped us in the end." No anti-aliasing, Riker's name plate present. Riker looks down at the camera and says, "I should be able to screenshot something here (ellipses) Huddle up, guys!"]

[Panel 19: Tall panel. Narration: "Things might not be easy. Change still hurts. But the shadows are just a little bit lighter." Riker holds up his phone at arms length in front of him, back to the table. Dee looks over; The Skull leans in, slightly smiling; Hare and The Jack stand to get into frame, both grinning, Jack flashing a peace sign. Tatters looks mischievous off to the side. The narration finishes: "And the Becile Bots are doing just fine." End ID]
