#ooooh I should make a robot girl game

[angiestown]

I finished that dressup game I said I was working on !! would very appreciate people giving it a go because I spent literally a week on this. like 7 days off work doing nothing but drawing clothes lmao

in order to make the different body types work without ballooning up the file size way more than it already is, I had to make it so you choose your skin tone twice. in meiker you can't arrange the order elements appear in, but I recommend starting with these two options to pick out your body type and skin tone first, since some options look better on certain bodies imo

also !! meiker !! I don't hear people talk about it much, but it's really cool I like it a lot! it's like picrew, but instead of uploading a bunch of pngs, you arrange and label your layers in folders and upload a single psd file. personally I liked the process a lot more than picrew because I'd rather work with one big file than a million tiny image files, but that's just me. plus you can make the images bigger than you can on picrew too

also posting this again since I can attach it to a post with the game, but I made a tutorial on how to create a bunch of colour options super fast if you want to make your own dressup game. there's no way I'd have nearly as many options if I didn't know how to do this. once you understand the actions feature you can do so much stuff so much more efficiently it's insane it's like my favourite photoshop feature

Oh what's this!? A double-stuffed deluxe serving of PreCure, served at late night! 25 and 26! We're goin' out into the woods! And make a new nemesis, but such is life! And in Episode 26? Who knows~! But with a title like "Kokone's Promise! Challenging King Green Pepper" I think this might be a simple one.

Spoilers, I guess...

This is a long boi btw, figured you'd like to know.

-Ohayo, Yuin~!

-Yeah kicked ass two weeks ago, huh?

-That's definitely a Delicioustone, but what we buildin', Narshe?

-Spiritoru?

-Bundoru bundoru?

-Holy shit he made a robot.

-Nikoniko? Nico Nico Nii?

-Alright ladies, I realize there's quite a natural bounty before us, but don't take chances with mushrooms and unfamiliar berries, eh?

-They put shades on the fox.

-The dog and dragon too!

-Oh Mari-chan, you too?

-Guess Kokone would feel nervous. I can't imagine she's spent much time so far away from an urban setting.

-Oh fuck

-Ghoast!

-To be fair, ghosts are kinda real in other PreCure titles.

-What a nice town!

-I see the soundtrack's followed us here, hmm?

-"Fuck it, I can't find my way around here, I'm gonna set this whole forest on fire."

-Alriiiight, let's go!

-Koko-neechan!

-Y'know, for a murder ghost robot, Spiritoru seems like a pretty swell chap.

-Spin the tent!

-We used to play this game a lot in elementary school.

-No pot!

-It's okay, I know a dealer~!

-...Takumicchi, did you run here!?

-Oh, Minato-san.

-"Goddammit, I have to wake up early..."

-Listen to Amai-kaichou. Having a meal out here in such a beautiful campground as this would be perfect!

-Ooooooh, paella~!

-Oooooh, a seafood paella~!

-No fire, huh?

-Well, can't really blame them. Most of the fires I usually start are by accident.

-My grandmother said this... "If you wish it to be so, luck will always be on your side."

-Ranchi, my girl.

-Hooray! Fire!

-Spoooooky happenings!

-Oh, a thicc boi, huh?

-Ranchi got Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen's number 1 hat.

-There was a thicc boi!

Ran-Ran: He was the Eggman! Takumi: He was the Eggman? Amane: He was the Walrus!? Goo goo g'joob!?

-"Dinner's ready, bitches!"

-Oh shit, Narshe's building up.

-Y'know Seccy, I'd probably like you a lot more if you actually did something!

-Oh shit, Spiritoru face reveal.

-I love him already.

-Ooooh, a whole barbecue goin' on!

-Recibepis

-"Fuck, my clout!"

-And just like that, Takumicchi takes his leave.

-Ahhhh, c'mon lad!

-Recipeppi, hellooooo!

-Don-Don! Iitotokomkke! Oh wait, wrong series

-Cubed meat?

-Is he... spoiling the eat?

-"Is he a fucking robot. That's cringe."

-As a recently converted Ruru Amour stan, your distaste is noted, Rosemary.

-"Ohhhhh, the famous Pretty Cures!"

-Oh shit, he's got a wrench!

-I see, so an Ubau-zo doesn't have to be strictly a kitchen tool, eh?

-I kinda knew that, but feels weird to see this used.

-"On behalf of my Dad, I will beat you up!"

-What should I call you, Spiritoru? I like you, I'd hate to be mean to you the way I am to Narshe and ambivalent like I am to Seccy...

-"Ganbare! Ganbare! U-Bau-Zo!"

-One of my favorite villain archetypes is the "Surprisingly strong comic relief", so I'm definitely having fun with Spiritoru. He's got such a banger design, I love him.

-"You meatbag humans don't get it! Why eat when you can recharge!?"

-That's it, Yuin, punch that gigantic solid metal monster thing.

-Don't stop on our account Precious!

-"Nisen Kilocalorie Punch!"

-Unit conversion tells me 2000 Kilocalories is equivalent to 8368 kilojoules. 2 kilos worth of of TNT!

-GIrl's got a lot of power behind those punches.

-We did it! The barbecue has been saved!

-What a nice guy he is!

-Men need their beauty sleep just as much as men do!

-Ah, old maid! I kick ass at this game, deal me in!

-Gotta water your mind for your

-Oooooooh, that starscape is very nicely drawn.

-Kokone episode, hell yeah!

-Well, I'll see you all next time when I see Kokone talk about green peppers.

-.

-Next time, let's go!

-Mmm... Spiritoru, Spiritoru...

-Supi-kun?

-Supi-kun, definitely.

-Oh shoot, there's nobody who can make Delicioustones huh?

-...I have to ask though... what exactly is Supi-kun doing to the food by capturing the Recipepsiman?

-Like, Gentle fucked up the flavor and ruins everybody's meals. I can see how this can completely fuck over a restaurant's reputation and how Amane would feel guilty over this.

-Narshe steals memories associated with certain foods, and we saw first hand how that can hurt a person and how tragic it'd be to lose a cherished memory.

-All we've seen Supi-kun do is cube meat. I can see why having something like that happen to you while you're eating dinner would frazzle you, but the food seems otherwise just fine.

-"Fuck it, lunchbreak!"

-Oooooh, I love green peppers!

-God, stuffed with cheese and baked, or chopped up into a salsa, or cut up with beef in steak fajitas...

-I should pull a Shinichi Saruhara and imagine myself some of my favorite dishes after this. It's super late at night and it'd take way too long to cook, and I don't even think we have the ingredients...

-Kome-Kome's suffering is incalculable.

-Kokone, a hardened veteran of the Pepper Wars.

-I will save you, Kone-Kone.

-I mean, Koko-meechan.

-Koko-Koko

-I used to be a pretty picky eater as a kid. I don't know exactly how I grew out of it, but nowadays I usually try to recognize ingredients I like and how they fit into the bigger picture of the dish.

-Takumicchi's dad has the right idea! Introducing them as components to something you do like.

-Oh, Takkun!

-...Takkun...

-Ah, sorry, uh... "Takkun" is a nickname reserved for somebody else, in my heart.

-Yeah, help us out!

-Hide the bitterness.

-Green peppers in a pound cake?

-I'm a big carrot cake guy, but... how on earth?

-Is Yui one of those moms who'd try to bake brussel sprouts into brownies?

-"Nooooo, Kokone! They'll murder you!"

-King Green Pepper seem a charitable and courteous capsicum.

-He and his other bell pepper kin actually register at a solid zero on the Scoville scale, so if he proves too much for you, the name "Cure Spicy" will unfortunately prove to be wasted on you, Kokone.

-"Yo Godatz, I'm the new guy!"

-"NOOOO DON'T TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT YOU FOOL! YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER WHILE SHE'S TALKING TO YOU!"

-I think I'm liking Seccy more and more now jhkjlh

-Eat the food, fox girl!

-"HOLY SHIT WHAT WHY IS SHE SO BIG"

-"...Fack."

-Oh wow, she bonked.

-C'mon Koko-neechan, be a big girl! This is... honestly very embarassing!

-Good evening, DILF Butler!

-Yeah, you at least attempted, huh?

-Y'know, there's quite a bit of what I personally read as neurodivergent subtext to Kokone's character, so I get where she's coming from with this.

-Hell, my distaste for non-fried shrimp even has a similar origin to hers.

-Let's just say there's a very good reason why you devein and remove the shells from them. No amount of thorough cooking will undo that pain.

-Dish washin' time.

-"IF THAT BITCH DOESN'T EAT THESE FUCKING PEPPERS I AM GOING TO SHIT"

-Y'know, maybe Narshe should've installed a GPS in Supi-kun. Probably would've helped.

-Whomst

-Ooooh, that pepper is a thicc boi

-That shot of Pam-Pam hiding in the peppers is honestly super adorable.

-Friends with the peppers!

-The secret ingredient is always love.

-Oooooh, that's tantalizing...

-"Pepper Detected."

-Don Don! Toru Toru! Bundoru!

-Takumicchi, you gotta breathe better man!

-Pepper flavored curry and rice! Smoked turkey and pepper jack panini! Bell pepper udon stir fry! Bell peppers are botanically fruits because their seeds are on the inside of the pods!

-Delicious Party Pepper Cure!

-Oh yeah, you're technically not that kinda pepper, huh Blackpep?

-Man, Supi-kun's way better at monster design than his Dad.

-Hmmm... part of me wonders if Narshe intentionally programmed him to have this kind of conflict?

-"For fuck's sake, just eat your goddamn peppers, kids!"

-Crusty Bread Barrier!

-Daaaamn, Kokone opening fire on her own.

-You go girl!

-Humans do a lot of things, Supi-kun.

-Don't look back Takumicchi, just run!

-Hell yeah, we've recovered!

-Oh god that mouth shot

-That was unneccesary

-Pepper Steak! From hit indie RPG Maker game off!

-Mmmmmm...

-I thoroughly enjoyed both of these episodes as usual. Not a lot left for me to say, other than "Goddammit, I need to imagine those peppers right fucking now."

-Now, if you would excuse me... Join me when I wake up for Kamen Rider Geats, Episode 1! And on Saturday! With episode 27 of this show~!

-Episode 27!

-RANCHI EPISODE

-Lot of Kome-Kome focus, huh?

-...Oh god, she's gonna fucking morb.

-Anyways, look forward to that, this has been way too fucking long~!

The Not-so French Mistake

Pairing: Slight Dean x reader

Word Count: 1.9k

Warnings: Language

Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Supernatural. Any and all comments on this are appreciated. I’m sorry for any grammatical errors that I might have made. This is my first fanfiction (as a one-shot, I've written a few earlier in poetry form) so please go easy on me.

“You are going to die.”, he states nonchalantly, as if three men entering your house and telling you that you are going to die is an everyday occurrence.

“I…WHAT?!”, I shout, my eyes round as saucers.

Well, today was a seemingly normal day. Until the seemingly normal day wasn’t as seemingly normal as I thought it would be.

                                2 hours earlier

“Hey, I’ll be leaving now”, my best friend said as she packed the small handbag she always carried around with her.

“Don’t forget the pickle jar and then come back 15 minutes later telling me you forgot the one thing I reminded you about”, I shouted to her from the top of the stairs.

She turned around to pick up the jar from the centre table when her eyes landed on me and she whistled. I pulled the drawstrings of my silk dressing gown tighter as I walked down the stairs.

“Ooooh, would you look at that, someone’s looking good. So, are you going to sleep after I’m gone, or are you going to have some company tonight?”

“I…..I just can’t……not so soon after...ummm……I know I’m stupid but I just wanted to feel good about myself”

She closed the few steps between us and hugged me tightly.

“Hey, you know he’s an asshole. His words don’t count, ok? No guy has the right to make you feel bad about yourself”, she said, pulling away.

“But he…….”

“No missy, you listen here, he’s an idiot who doesn’t deserve you. He should feel lucky he’s not in town or I would’ve kicked him so hard in the balls that impregnating a woman would’ve been a foreign concept to him.”

I gave her a small smile.

“Thanks for hyping me up, love. I’m now going to have ice cream and cry my heart out to sad rom-coms.”

“Bitch, you hate rom-coms. You’re just going to binge-watch Supernatural and you’re not telling me that because you won’t admit that you’re obsessed with the show”.

“Okay, okay whatever……Aren’t you getting late for your train?”

 She looked at her watch.

 “Oh shit! Bye, see you later.” she said as she ran out of the door, slamming it behind her. I sighed to myself and walked over to the TV, switching it on.

“Self-care time for me now!”, I said to myself, as I opened the fridge to get my favorite ice-cream when suddenly, the doorbell rings. I immediately turned my head towards the centre table and sure enough, the pickle jar was there.

Shaking my head, I picked up her precious jar and walked over to the door, pulling it open.

“I knew you……..”, I stopped short when I saw who was standing outside.

There, standing on my porch were, none other than, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki.

And then I woke up.

Yeah, if only it happened that way.

I knew I was looking like an absolute fool in front of them, opening and closing my mouth like a fish, my eyes wide and my breath short as I stood there, taking in the two handsome men adorning my doorstep. They were dressed in their Sam and Dean outfits -plaid, over layers of plaid- it seemed like a scene straight out of a set.

“Hi! You’re Y/N right?”, Jared said in his usual husky voice while Jensen stood beside him, strangely staring at me with something akin to awe in his eyes.

“W…what? I…uh…yeah…I…I am Y/N”, I somehow managed to choke out.

“You’re awesome”, Jensen Ackles breathed out with a sigh with literal heart-eyes in my direction. He cleared his throat and blinked twice and then seemed to step out of his reverie. He gave me a small smile and looked me up and down with a small smirk and I blushed furiously. Wait, was Jensen Ackles checking me out?!

Okay, so there were either of these two things going on- either I was dreaming or I had completely lost my mind. But since I had already pinched myself and well, that damn pinch did hurt, so the situation pretty much tilted towards the latter side. I mean, Jensen Ackles knows me and he thinks I am awesome?!

“Yep, definitely not a fan”, Jared whispers somewhat sarcastically to Jensen to which he replies under his breath with a “Shut up, Sammy!”

I would have paid more attention to what Jensen said had I not had my whole focus on Jared’s last words.

“Ummm…..excuse me? No offense but I’m standing right here and you can rest assured that I am 100% a fan, of both of you. If you don’t believe me, ask me anything about Supernatural.”, I say, crossing my hands across my chest.

“Wha-Supernatural? Like the book Supernatural? You have that here too?”, Jensen asks seemingly surprised.

Alright, is this a game for their show? I thought to myself, utterly confused and dazed. They seem to know my name and well, address too and that can be the only logical explanation as to why Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are here, on my doorstep. But I couldn’t see any cameras nearby. Maybe they were hidden? Maybe I was meant to be taken by surprise? Oh shit, did I just challenge them right now? Was this being filmed? My mind rushed with a million things- ‘Oh god, I must be looking so stupid right now, acting like a blobfish instead of doing anything!’

I opened my mouth to say something, anything at all, when Jared cut through. 

“Ummm I’m sorry, Y/N, but it’s not really a good idea to be standing outside and talking. I promise we’ll explain everything. Can we please come inside and talk?”

“I….uh…..yeah sure. Come inside please.”, I was about to ask what their deal was but changed my mind when I saw Jensen nervously looking around and then back at me, pleadingly. 

I closed the door behind me as they settled on the plush red sofa. I walked across the room and sat on the chair facing them.

“Y/N”, Jared started. “There’s no easy way to say this but I’m Sam Winchester and this is my brother Dean. Like, from Supernatural.”

“Ummm…. I’m aware? Despite your contrary belief, I told you I was a fan.”, I said, confused.

“You’re our fan?!”, Jensen asked, somewhat stunned. “Haha sweetheart, am I living my dream!”, he added, his emerald eyes twinkling.

I stared at him through my eyelashes.

“Hold up, quick question, are you a Dean girl or Sam girl?”

“Dean, not now…..”, Jared sighed.

“Dean girl!”, I blurted out, immediately blushing deeply. Jensen’s entire face lit up and I hurriedly added, “No offense to Jared here.”

“Jared? You mean Jared Pada-whatshisname?”, Jensen asked incredulously.

“Padalecki, Dean”

“Son of a bitch! Fake us lives in the same universe as her!”

I started laughing and the both of them turned towards me quizzically.

“Ummm what is this? Some spin-off of The French Mistake?”, I asked.

“The French what?”, Jared looked at me, his eyebrow raised.

“That’s not important right now. Y/N, I know, it’s hard to believe us right now, but we are not your TV actors-we are not Jensen and Jared. I am the actual Dean Winchester and he is my brother, Sam Winchester. The trickster, the archangel Gabriel, owed us a favor and he let us travel into your universe.... Sweetheart please, you have to believe me. I umm uh, I have been a-”

I stood straight up from my chair, angrily.

“I’m sorry but what kind of prank is this? Going to people’s houses and-”, I started angrily when suddenly the entire room got spontaneously flooded with an immensely bright light.

“Cover your eyes!”, a deep, somewhat robotic voice filled the air and I immediately did so to lessen the risk of my precious peepers being completely burned out by an unknown source of dazzling light in my seemingly normal house in the middle of a seemingly normal (absolutely weird) day.

Slowly, the light faded.

And there stood Misha Collins-

No, that could not possibly be Misha. Unless Misha had suddenly evolved to be able to exhibit bioluminescence or had sprouted long black wings from the back of his trench coat or had learned to hover like a bee in mid-air. No, definitely not Misha. 

That means, this must…this must be-

“Holy mother of God”, I gasped out.

“I….am….not….the….I am the son of God”, he said, walking across the room to sit beside Jar-no, no......Sam.

Holy shit! CASTIEL?! That means that all this time, Jens- Dean, had not been lying. I collapsed on my chair, my mind, not being able to form a single coherent thought. Dean leaped up from the sofa and rushed to my side.

“Darling….darling, look for yourself, that-”

“He is Castiel.”, I said, boring into Dean’s green eyes, they brought me comfort. “I believe you…… Dean.”

A look passed between Sam and Dean and Dean immediately held my hand and squeezed my palm as an act of reassurance as he beamed at me.

Sam got up from his chair and smiled at me, “Thanks to Cas here, you believe us. At last. I thought you were two seconds away from throwing us out.”

I snorted. A really ugly snort through my nose. In front of three delicious-looking men, especially Dean, who was somehow still looking at me like I was God’s gift to mankind. Hah, no wonder I was single.

I cleared my throat to relieve the awkwardness and continued,

“Well, in my defense, you guys were acting real creepy.”

Yeah sure, not even in my wildest dreams would I actually throw Jensen and Jared out of my house, no matter how creepy they act, but they didn’t need to know that.

“But how…why……..”, I started asking the questions bothering me.

“Umm well, yeah, about that…”, Dean started, gulping.

Castiel walked over and looked at me with downcast eyes.

“You are going to die.”, he stated nonchalantly, as if three men entering into your house and telling you that you are going to die is an everyday occurrence.

“I…WHAT?!”, I shouted, my eyes wide.

                                        Now

“CAS!”, Sam and Dean both exclaim at him at the same time.

“She was asking.…..”

“No Cas, not like that!”, Sam tells him prickly.

“Please tell me what the hell is going on! Why….How am I going to die? What’s happening?!”, I say, hiding my face with my hair.

“Darling, promise me you won’t freak out.”, Dean says, staring straight into my soul. “You are a character from a book in our universe. My favourite book. And trust me, this...you…. I am a huge fan of you. Have been, since I was a child. Now you see, few months ago, we stumbled into your universe when Gabriel pranked us. And then I saw you. I met you. The real you....just….perfect….And I just wanted to.....I mean..... I came back...I came back because…..”

“Because?”

“I know everything. I know how the book ends and I have come back here to save you, darling.”

[hasquetzorkukudoneanythingwrong]

Fiesta!!!

The date was May 30th, one of the days that fell into the month that celebrated Quetzalcoatl and some of her fellow gods. The human master of Chaldea, Rex, decided that it would be the perfect day to celebrate a birthday for her. Following that, he worked with many of the other servants to help make it a special day for her. Starting first thing in the morning.

Quetz, waking up and stretching: mmmm!

Rex, hugging her: feliz cumpleaños, mi corazon!

Quetz: ah mi amor! Muchos gracias!

Rex: are you ready for the greatest day ever! Or atleast here in chaldea anyways!

Quetz: si! I can't wait to see what you planned.

Quetzalcoatl, was a very smart goddess. Under normal circumstances, it'd be pretty much impossible to keep a secret from her. But for the sake of her celebration, she turned a blind eye to Rex's birthday plans.

Rex: well good! Cause they start now! *finger snap!*

And with a snap of his fingers, the robotic ninja, Kato Danzo appeared! With a tray of food.

Kato: hello, Quetzalcoatl! I bring freshly made breakfast in bed for you and your husband!

Quetz: oh my! Muchos gracias, Senorita Kato!

Kato: of course!

She placed the tray onto the bed and disappeared as quickly as she first appeared.

For Quetz, a traditional meal of huevos rancheros! And for Rex, a breakfast burrito. And a BIG stack of pancakes for the two to share. Along with a cup of coffee for the goddess, and orange juice for the master.

Quetz: rancheros! One of my favorites! Gracias mi amor!

Rex: of course mi corazon!

After they ate breakfast, the two got dressed for the day!

Quetz: what else do you have planned mi amor!

Rex: oh just wait and see!

Not long after

Quetz: WOOOH! This looks amazing!

Rex: of course mi corazon! Anything for you!

The two were flying on Quetz's pterosaur, right above a very unique environment. As per Rex's request, a special simulation was made. A patchwork of the various jungles from all throughout the world. You could see the jungles of the Lacandon, the Amazon, the Congo, the Backcountry, the cloud forest, the sinharaja, and so many more!

Quetz: wow mi amor! Flying through these jungles is amazing!

Rex: anything for you mi corazon!

Throughout the flight, they'd slow down and get lower to get a good look at the various plants and animals that called these forests home. In every patch, completely unique but very similar animals could be seen.

Quetz: so many animals... so different but also so... similar!

Rex: yeah! It's convergent evolution! Y'know about it?

Quetz: maybe... but explain anyways!

Rex: ok then, mi corazon! Convergent evolution, is when we see very different and unrelated animals evolve the same adaptations because they fill the same niche in similar environments. Like how in the jungles you would've called home, there's Jaguars, while in the Congo, there's Leopards!

Quetz: ooooh! How efficient!

Rex: yeah! You can even see it throughout various time periods! In place of animals like Grizzlies in North America, there was T-rex!

Quetz: you really like this stuff huh, mi amor? You seem almost as excited as when you talk about me!

Rex: yeah... animals are interesting to me...

After they ended the simulation, they returned to their room for the gift giving!

Many other servants had gifts for the goddess. Pretty much everyone manged to get her something. Some gave more simple gifts, such as clothes and accessories. Others gave more practical things, like appliances and the like. The more extravagant ones, like Ozymandias and Gilgamesh piled on a few riches. But a few did give more personal gifts.

Some of the stand out personal gifts included: a book of various fighting techniques from Murasaki, a portrait of the couple from Da Vinci, some beautiful jades from Ishtar, an amazing golden cage with flowers inside from Ereshkigal, some new training weights from Penth, a very big snake plush from Gorgon and so on.

Even other masters gave gifts. Vy and her servants baked a cake that resembled one from a very popular game. Val gave some good snake print socks. Julius and his servants gave the couple some gift cards. Quin gave Quetz a scrap book of her adventures, the last 5 pages of it was filled with just pics of the couple together. Quin also gave new training dummies for practice!

Then there was Quin's wife BB

BB: there should be a portal opening to somewhere full of danger and excitement soon! Along with those other "special" gifts for night-time.

Quetz: wait what?!

Rex: huh?!

A portal opens up behind the pair, and they fall in.

Both: aaaahhhh!

BB, from outside the portal: don't worry! I'll use my time powers so you'll still have plenty of time once you're back!

The couple ended up on a tropical island, filled with creatures that shouldn't be around any longer.

Rex: uh... do those fences look... familiar to you?

Quetz: si... from a... movie I think?

RAAAAAHHH!!!

Rex: what was that!?

Quetz: I'm not sure!

They were sent to the fictional island of Isla Nublar from the jurassic park series! They had interesting and wild adventures before coming back to Chaldea!

(That adventure deserves it's own story tho, so stay tuned for that!)

Quetz: wooh! BB was right! Very dangerous.

Rex: yeah... but now it's time for the Fiesta!

Quetz: yay!

They went to a huge room, reserved specifically for the party! Every chaldea servant was there! There was food, drinks, music and everything you need for a killer Fiesta!

Rex, on stage with a microphone: Hola everyone! We are here today to celebrate the birthday of the greatest goddess in chaldea, Quetzalcoatl!

The crowd cheered! Everyone was hyped for the party!

Quetz: yay! I love seeing everyone happy for mi Fiesta!

Rex: so let's get this party started!

Crowd: YEEEEEEEEAH!!!!

It was one of the biggest parties chaldea ever had! Everyone danced and drank and had a roaring good time! But of course, Quetzalcoatl had the best time! She spent the time with her husband, eating delicious food and getting absolutely wasted!

Rex: mi corazon, don't drink too much now. You'll need a clear head for later.

Quetz, blushy: I'll be fine mi amor! Where's the cake?! I want my cake!

Rex: wait just a bit for that!

Then one of the more recent servants, Kijyo Koyo, came with the piñata she made!

Kijyo: hey! It's piñata time!

Quetz: ohhhh! A piñata!

Of course, as the birthday girl Quetz got first swing at the piñata! As tradition, she was blindfolded and spun around a bit before she was let loose on the piñata!

Rex: that's an interesting choice for a piñata Kijyo, why that?

Kijyo: well I know Quetz hates her brother, so a piñata like that will let her anger loose!

Rex: how if she doesn't see it?

Kijyo: oh she doesn't know? I thought I told her already!

Rex: seems not.

Kijyo: ok then! Then I'll tell her now!

Rex: wait a se-

Kijyo: Quetz! The Piñata is a black jaguar! So you can let loose any anger!

Upon hearing this, Quetz dropped the sitck.

Rex: mi corazon? What are you doing?

She also removed the blindfold, and pulled out her sword.

Rex: n-no no! Quetz you don't have to do it like that!

She then swung at the paper mache cat with her macana! Knocking it on the ground, as she proceeded to continue on with that for some time. Once she finally finished there was no piñata left to speak of. Just the candy that came inside!

Quetz: gracias Kijyo! That did help!

Kijyo: ...right! Glad for that!

Rex: mi corazon... you seemed to have sobered up already.

Quetz: the rage I feel for my brother is more powerful then any alcohol.

Rex: ok then...

After the party was another event! Of course, as Quetz loves lucha libre, she loves sparring with her fellow fighters! So Rex set up a lucha tournament! Quetz was to face a gauntlet of other servants in hand to hand combat! After each match, she'd have as much time to rest as she needed before the next! BB needed to use her time powers a bit more to make sure there was plenty of time.

The order for her to face was Ishtar, Bradamante, Medusa, Musashi, Nyalter, Raikou, Lartoria, Scathach, Penth, Martha, and finally Astraea!

Every match was a spectacle! Every opponent Quetz faced was a forced to be reckoned with!

Some matches got pretty close but in the end, Quetzalcoatl came out victorious!

Rex: Quetzalcoatl takes the victory!

Quetz: yay!

She was awarded a wrestling belt for her win!

After that, the day started to wind down. It was night, and many servants were partied out!

Quetz: mi amor, I've loved all that you've done! But... what about your present for me?

Rex: oh that!? I'm saving that for last! Just the two of us, in private. You know I like doing things between us in a more intimate fashion...

Quetz: oh! Now I can't wait!

A/N: there's Quetz's birthday Fiesta! I've tried to make it the best day I possibly can for her! Soon I'll write the more personal and intimate one between just me and her!

(And no I don't mean intimate as in dirty ok!)

[i-am-a-meat-popcicle]

I’m info dumping about my ocs because I’m excited and it’s around their birthdays (concept days?) anyway. They’re both a year old in oc years.

I’ve talked about them before but here they are again in a more cohesive post.

Old doodles included.

Dr. Aaron Durrand Ryder

Height: 5′9′’ 

A pretty fit guy, with green eyes and dark brown hair. I based his design on one of Axton’s heads and went “but more hairy and disheveled”. He bulks out after some time on Pandora, and gets even hairier. 

Favorite color: Yellow

Planet of Origin: Demophon

Likes: Science, motorcycles, poisoning bandits, and robots.

Dislikes: That asshole that touched his bike, the ocean, and animals with tentacles. (”An octopus has all those limbs and the suction cups have TEETH”)

I don’t draw him nearly as much as I should, but this is him. He’s a former Hyperion researcher specializing in cybernetic technology. 

By the time of borderlands 1 he’d be somewhere in his mid 40s.

He dies in his mid 30s

He’s devoted his life to the study of cybernetics and biotechnology, and develops an obsession with Eridian technology and guardians, which leads him to become a vault hunter on Pandora. 

At some point on his quest he becomes close acquaintances with Dr.Zed, Moxxi, Helena Pierce, and her husband; and he also picks up and adopts a child abandoned by bandits.

His primary motivation is knowledge when it comes to finding the Vault, and will do just about anything to obtain it.

As a father he’s very protective, and enthusiastic when it comes to teaching her. He’s also an excellent teacher.

Was friends with TK while working for Hyperion.

He’s aro/ace.

Erin Durrand Ryder 

Status: [Alive] In borderlands 1, she’s 24 years old

Height: 5′4

Bl 1: At first glance she looks like she has the physique of a ballerina (which I cannot do much justice in my drawing), and she’s stronger than she looks. Mostly blonde hair with cherry blonde streaks. Perpetually greasy, but wavy when clean. Brown eyes. Has a crap ton of freckles and scars.

Bl 2: Her hair is cut short, and at some point she lost her arm. (even if I don’t really show it in some of my old drawings).

Bl 3: Her hair is long again, but there was an accident and half of it had to be shaved off. She thinks she looks cool anyway.

Favorite color: Blue

Planet of Origin: Pandora

Likes: Motorcycles, setting things on fire, biology, robots, and fishing

Dislikes: (as a child) Stalkers (trauma), (as a teenager) pastries (she had one bad experience with baking and it just ruined them for life), and (as an adult) guns (she gets over it).

She is my daughter and I love her, but I put her through so much hell it’s ridiculous.

Erin is the daughter of a bandit prostitute belonging to the Zaford clan. She and her mother attempted to leave once and managed to get away as far as the frozen wastes. But they were unfortunately captured by another group of bandits and thanks to their accents were sent back to the Zaford clan.

She accidentally burned down the bar when she was playing a knife throwing game in the back room while her mother was dealt with. Then she was fed to Stalkers and was soon rescued by Aaron.

Afterward she was raised by him, and to some degree, Zed; and got an outstanding education. Even lives a fairly easy life thanks to her adoptive fathers.

By Pandora standards she’s pretty lucky. 

She has adhd and has a tendency to self medicate with caffeine. Then has trouble sleeping and uses tranquilizers to fall asleep.

She’s a cocky little shit so she thinks that this won’t hurt her. (ha.)

She becomes friends with the first group of vault hunters, but becomes ultimately closest with Mordecai and Brick. 

She adopts a skag puppy at some point and later a stalker (though those ideas are on the verge of becoming scrapped because I have too much going on.)

There’s a little robot that she has that can be used as a small medical device to detect abnormalities in the body.

She has a better idea on how to make antibiotics from scratch than on what a poodle is. Seriously, she has no idea what those paws are around Brick’s neck for the longest time.

She’s a workaholic and prone to hyper focusing for long periods of time. 

Works at the clinic in New Haven for awhile before following the Vault hunters.

The warriors

              Hi, my name is Isabela! I live in a small town called Ocna’s Village in Romania. Actually, I was born in Italy, but I’ve moved to Romania without knowing why, ok when I moved, I was a baby so is pretty logic to not know lots of things on that young age…Eh, doesn’t matter, cause now I don’t wanna tell you my story, but I really want to discuss about Dimension F35A.

                F35A is a place where everything that appears to be unrealistic, impossible or even dumb on this planet it can happen there. Now you might ask yourselves: “How can a little girl know so much about an interdimensional world”, well I know because I WAS THERE. You know, a very long time ago it was known about a rock that once rubbed by someone, it could create a portal between dimensions. That rock was called then a “curly rock”, a natural object that can be modeled in any other form, in today’s world it can be recognized in bracelet form and you can purchase it at an affordable price… (I swear I don’t make advertisement) …not true, actually you get it from birth (not literally anyone can say that).

               This dimension was perfect for my imagination, but it comes out that…I couldn’t get there till I turned 7…okay, technically, even at that age I still could NOT go in that universe, so I took my mom’s bracelet -I know that I’m not a good role-model, but I was DESPERATE, I asked her each year on my birthday (to be more convincing), and guess what she told me…I’ll make a scheme to show you my agony: -3years=No.

                  -4years=No!

                  -5years=NO!

                  -6years=NOO!

                  -7years=NOOO!

                So, it turns out that I’ve woken up for 8 years (1 year was under warranty) at 6 am because I had a “noghtmare” (eh, eh, get it…anyway, I wanted to make a pun but I noticed that no one laughed…L-LET’S KEEP GOING).

                  Ok, so when I first got in, I saw… a party with ponies and rainbows, that is what you were thinking...well, YOU’RE WRONG, it was just an unending war with random characters, it means that Batman could fight Bambi or something like that. Anyway! I looked around, everything was a chaos, but I’ve noticed something weird, I realized that everyone in there was fighting for a purpose or covering themselves or conquering new territories, so I made up a purpose too…the most important one. The thing that actually matters is that someone must clean this mess, a person that must be good, brave, and WORTHY FOR SUPREME LOYALTY, a creature that will stop this disaster.

And that’s why I’m…going to find it, what did you think that I am the person, no, not even a word, I won’t get into those knuckleheads, they freak me out.

                So, I transformed myself into a mouse and tried to reach the closest spot to hide (a rock…t-there will be many rocks in this story). And exactly when I thought that I’m safe, a giant robot crushed me (obviously I didn’t die because after you are crushed, sliced, shot, burnt, etc. you get back to your home dimension). But a second before game over I saw an iconic red color being, with deep black eyes that penetrate souls, three fox tails, two fox ears and one fox nose, who wore a leaf that covered all of its body, and who appeared to be a little bit confused by the chaos behind him, but in the end, he still crossed the road, very chill, to resolve his problems. I scanned it to have it like “skin” in the future (Minecraft users in the public, or Standoff or PUBG, whatever) but what future, because that stupid stack of iron CRUSHED ME:

                  --Hmm, what if I turn in that thing? I did it. Ew, this leaf doesn’t work on me… therefore, I changed. I was wearing a blue vest, white shirt, black jeans and brown boots…BOOM, it’s betTEEEER! I was screaming because a giant iron sole was going to crush me again (I would give a reply but I don’t have one…OH, WAIT, it looks like we can’t STEP inside without being CRUSHED by hospitality, HA HA, I’m a horrible pun maker…BACK TO THE STORY). However, I’m talking about one second before the impact, I ran but not like a penguin, I ran like FLASH:

                    --WHAT THE…WOW, I am running with the speed of light (clearing throat), doesn’t matter, now let’s find that person…I will look over mountains and valleys, lakes and oceans, and I will be recognized like “The random girl who brought the hero of this world” … after I will visit this place with the super-speed thing. Now I think I went through 3 kingdoms -I despite no one saw me- And then I arrived on a land with a dense fog, without…(cough)…clEAn AiR:

                    --NO…I need…(COUGH)…to continue mY qUeSt-not too far away from me stand a humanoid silhouette…at least that’s what I thought…however, I started to scream, powerless: PLEASE…(COUGH)…YOU, THE STRANGER IN THE HORIZON …I’M VERY YOUNG…EVEN IF I APPEAR TO BE IN MIDDLE AGE FROM THE DISTANCE AND UNCLEAN AIR! I fainted waking up in a cave:

                  --(Clearing throat again)…Uh, where am I? I said after being a little dizzy.

                   Suddenly a sound came out of nowhere, like a growl:

                  --W-what? Who’s there? I asked scared. An animal came out of shadow, actually it was the same animal that I saw a few moments ago: You again! What do you want for appearing in those mysterious ways? the animal growled harder showing its big fangs: Uuuh, what BIG fangs you got there, buddy, ha, ha! Wait do I have fangs too?! What’s your name? No, no, no, how do your friends call you? I have many questions about…you…I was slowly going back, because the animal was slowly coming to me. Unfortunately, I reached the end of the cave: Understand that I mean no harm, although we are in the same species, no…I scanned you, didn’t I…I scanned you…and I transformed into you, I hope you don’t want to…EAT ME?! I said with a worried expression.

                    After the last phrase the humano-animal -partial human, partial animal- for a second it stopped, and then it came rapid, got its huge bloody red color claws out -literally anything is red on you? – Well in that moment I nodded and I said:

                      --N-nice…c-claws. Did you do your manicure?... the best pun that I could tell to a creature with an unpredictable behavior, oh and more than that,

before I didn’t know if she/he was furious or happy, because I was seeing just his/her dark eyes -even the gender is unknown-, and after that innocent joke its eyes changed a lot, they were yellow with a keen red iris. “OH MY GOD I’M SO DEAD!” I said to myself…BUT yes, of course, I can’t die in this dimension, yeah thank you for reminding me, I don’t need to worry…just if I bump into a particularly type of being…a being that can destroy anyone and anything…

                          Is known about an ancient legend that reveals some sort of creatures, warriors, who disintegrate everything that stays in their way, although it doesn’t exist in their dimension, it’s speculated that those legendary creatures are the most dangerous beings in the multiverse…who told me? ... Mama told me!... Ok I don’t know how those legends look, but I hope that the respective humano-animal wasn’t a part of those fighters -WAIT A SECOND I HAVEN’T NAMED THE GUY YET, hmmm…let’s see…Neferis…no, to Grecian…Falohe, no, to Hawaiian, hmmm…Do…Ba…Aaaa I know, Zentofea, why this name? I DON’T KNOW!

                      Back to the story: That Zentofea -Oh gosh, I love this name- came closer to me being just as predictable as unpredictable like before, but the Zeantofea…Zen-a-to-fe-a?... seeming to be more furious. I said quickly:

                      --WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME! the Zento- Agh- that humano-animal, appeared to attack me, …but no, he/she? Destroyed the boulder behind me to make clear way to the outside world…really nice gesture from a   wild animal…By the way, after that giant stone, there was a pasture full of cold crystal flowers - why didn’t they named them ice flowers-: WOW, I hope you wanted to do this for the first time, because you might just miss and… Ya’ know…

                       At first, the animal had a disapproving look, and then it smiled and leaved:                    

                       --Ok…anyway…I’M GOOD! Now I seriously need to find that person, the battlefield is getting dirty, and I don’t want to clean the mess…I made a few turns in the pasture…aaand then I got lost…Um…I think I should go in that way…or that way…or…that…way…uuuh, …HEEEELP! After the previous phrase a humano-animal came out of the forest near the pasture: DUDE, if I owe you, every time you appear, I’ll buy you a yacht. Then the animal came closer, showing itself not being a Zentofea, but a humano-animal with a body of a wolf, a more evolved wolf, with human head and some different sized crystals placed uniform on the fluffy chest -I should wear glasses.

                       It came and smelled me:

                       --Uuuh, are you some sort of dog? it has stopped from smelling for a second and showed his sharp fangs… sharper than Zentoffe-a’s ones -I’m still thinking how to pronounce it correctly-…anyway…of course I got scared: UUUH, GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY, SIT! He growled: WHAT, DID I OFFENDED YOU IN SOME WAY?!SAY! LOOK I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE, BUT TO KNOW THAT TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY IN HERE, AND ALL THE ANIMALS ALREADY HATE ME!

                        --Get out of our territory, Zentofea!

                       --Ooooh, so it’s pronounced Zentofe-e-a, ok I noted AND HEY, HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT NAME, and did you say “OUR territory”!? after that phrase, a bunch of more humano-animals came out of the forest. Ya’ know, don’t ya’ think you have to many friends? They were slowly approaching me, I know, you think that I could’ve escaped, but the answer is NO, I couldn’t escape because I was surrounded, and I also know I could have jumped, but those animals seemed to have springs instead of legs, really now, I think they evolved from kangaroos…Siberian kangaroos. Many of those animals had an white with a little of black fur, WE C-CONTINUE: So I was there surrounded by those oversized human-headed dumb dogs, I was helpless, TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII- increase the suspense-IIIIIIIIIIIILLL … nothing happened, I’m kidding, I figure it out that:” BUT WAIT I HAVE SECRET WEAPONS TOO!”. I tried to annoy myself to get my claws out, first time it didn’t work, and then I thought about the most annoying thing for me, not even this worked because I love all the things unless the things that I hate, so I went to Karate, Judo, and putting my fingers in other one’s eyes:

                       --OUCH, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

                        --That’s how I know!

                        Even with my MASTER moves, I still couldn’t stop those hundreds of humano-wolves - hmm, surprising- until one bit my tail. In that moment I was angry- I took out the sharp fangs, yellow eyes with small pupil and iris, big claws, now I don’t boast myself, but I took down at least 20 wolves, ok I boast myself a little bit. Doesn’t matter because everything happened in my MIND, after that guy who I put my fingers in his eyes, another one threw a stump in my head.

                         I woke up tied up of a plank, carried by 4 human-wolves -I’ll name them later- to the chief of the tribe. They put me in a cage, still tied, with fire under the cage, very chill. The chief said:

                         --Oh, divine spirit of the frozen forest we give you this offering in exchange of a great dinner.

                         --An offering for a great dinner? Do you know that you can hunt? I mean you’re half wolves after all!

                         --GASP, who would’ve done such a shameful deed!? They looked offended.            

                        --Says the guy who is making an offering to a horse!

                         --It’s a majestic wolf!

                         --Riiight, you really aren’t good at sculpture!

                         --Oh, yes, we are, everyone is criticizing us, and why aren’t you worried, you’ll be burnt, are you a player?

                         --OF COURSE, I AM -a brilliant idea just crossed my mind- n-not…of course I am NOT a player, because I’m a destroyer undercover!

                         A sound of surprise came from tribe:

                          --Wait a second why did you smell like a Zentofea?

                          --Well, it’s a special thing that none of you heard about, it’s called perfume!

                          --Oh!

                          --A-and if you don’t untie me, I’ll destroy you ALL!

                          --But if you’re a destroyer and you can destroy us, why didn’t you destroy the rope and the cage already?

                          --Uh- OH, yeah…uh, thanks…I forgot I can… DO… that -I was pretending to concentrate to destroy the cage, but as an amazing coincidence, a thing came out of nowhere and cut the iron box and saved me…still tied up…but free…i-in a way. Uuuuh, yeah, I telepathically sent a message to a recruit to save me, good job soldier! I caressed his head, good part he was fluffy, bad part he pulled out a laser gun from his pocket and pointed it to my forehead, he had 2 guns, the other one was pointed at the public -how dangerous can be a creature with 3 feet high:

                           --Run! Said The Short One, that’s how I call him, with a deep voice.

                           --I would’ve run already, if I haven’t my legs TIED UP!

                           --A Zentofea has stronger muscle power in lower limbs!

                           --…Yes…

                           --…That means that you can rip the string that ties your legs!

                           --Ooooh! I ripped the strings and I ran… after a few seconds I stopped and I returned to The Short One.

                           --WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING, I TOLD YOU TO RUN!

                           --I won’t let you down!

                           --I’ve been here more than you so I learned a lot in my time!

                           --Ok, I trust you on this, but can I do somethin’?

                            --Yes, try to survive!

                            --…I hope I can do that!

                            Well, it appears that The Short One had a plan to escape from that situation, I don’t know how, but The Short One shot with the laser gun in a cold crystal (ice), bounced off another two cold crystals (two pieces of ice), and then to the base of a tree, that rip causing a chain reaction, putting down tree by tree, the last tree falling in front of the angry crowd:

                           --WOOOOW!

                           --COME ON, I CREATED A DIVERSION!

                           --But, wait, how did you know that tree was going to fall in front of them? I have said while I was running with The Short One.

                           --D-do you really want to know?

                           --Uh, yes?

                           --Really, no one has asked me about this for a decade!

                           --Uh, about what?

                           --Science stuff…oh my God…I’m…so…excited…(clears throat) ok I’ll tell you…GASP, first time I calculated the area between the laser gun and the target, and then I’ve calculated the variables- he continued talking until I realized that we both have stop from running.

                           --Uh, dude ya know…an entire squad of human-wolves with six packs is like…following us!

                           --…And then I measured…

                           --…Uh, maaan?

                           --…But the distance was equal with…

                           --I beg you to stop!

                           --…So, I created a way to…

                           --Sigh, who am I kidding? I took him by the arm and jumped in a tree.

                           --…Although if I would’ve taken the theory…

                           --CAN YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT…please? I put my hand to his mouth and I pointed to the tribe that passed us.

                             --Oh, yeah, I-I’m sorry!

                             --Look, man, I understand your excitement, I think you’re a little lonely here by your independent character, but can ya wait until we get rid of this dorks?        

                             --Yeah, I know, and by the way I’m a girl!

                             --You are a girl, but how do you have such a deep voice? SHE took her mask off!

                             --It’s a changing voice device, dear!  

                             --Oh. My. Goodness. YOU ARE SO CUTE! I think she was the cutest specie of humano-animal that I’ve ever met in my life. I hugged her… SHE WAS FLUFFY!

                             --Look, that’s why I’m always wearing a mask…ok, this and other 3 reasons!

                             --Daaww, why, like someone would really attack you?

                             --Yes, many would attack me, players, qualified and unqualified hunters, maybe…MY OWN ENEMIES!?

                             --Aaww, but wait, you have enemies?

                             --Yes!

                             --Why?

                             --Because of my high intelligence!

                             --Really, well, that means that you have common enemies with many of your species.

                             --Meh, not really, I’m a very rare case, usually creatures in my species are…

                             --Let me guess, dumb, goofy, jerks, but with no reason?  

                             --I wanted to say idiots, but your description is much more extensive.

                             --I know how it feels, I mean a lot of people from my species are like that!

                             --Zentofea?

                             --No, humans…but I have one question, how does everybody know about this name? I named that creature!

                             --Uh, no, it has been named like that since forever!    

                             --How?...

                             --Look, stop asking useless questions and care about your purpose!

                             --My purpose…OH YEAH, MY PURPOSE, I FORGOT ABOUT IT!

                             --How can you forget your own objective?

                             --My PURPOSE…is that an ocean? I’d said while I was exiting the forest.

                             --Yes, the terrestrial space from this planet is predominant in isles and archipelagos!

                             --DAMN IT, how am I going to cross the ocean now?

                             --But why do you want to cross it? Do you need to cover a territory?

                             --No…

                             --Do you want to conquer a territory?

                             --…No…

                             --Then why do you want to cross the ocean?

                             --I want to change the world!

                             --Wait, you want to change the world…alone?

                             --Nope, that’s why I’m looking for a person to help me!

                             --Wow, really…wow, you’re the first person who said that! Hey, HEY, what are you doing? I took off my boots, I rolled up my jeans and I tried to run above the water, for 3 seconds I really have run above the water, and then I began to sink. I swam back to the beach.

                              --So, do you wanna tell me…where…the heck…were you thinking?

                              --I thought that I could run on water.

                              --Kiddo, if in your dimension exists some force who keep things together, however are you calling…

                              --Gravity…

                              --I knew about that name, I’m a genius, I just wanted to clarify that you know what I’m talking about…What I wanted to say, is that, the respective force exists in this universe too, but it acts with a different attraction.

                              --Aha, so what other idea do you have?

                              --Hmmm, first, you still didn’t answer the previous question!

                              --Well, I think the person might be after the ocean!

                            --Do you think that this motivation is certain, I mean isn’t assuming an attempt to know something that can be inexistent, do you really think, in this life anything can have a scope, don’t you think that life is an illusion meant to prepare us of everything what can be beyond the bars of reality?

                              I remained without words:

                              --I made this up 10 seconds ago, what’s so hard to understand?

                              --No, no…I-I understood!

                              --Then why are you doing this!

                              --Um, I don’t know…I think I just needed an adventure!

                              --Then why did you choose to change this world?

                              --I don’t kn-…YOU KNOW WHAT, leave me alone with those weird questions, you’ll provoke me an existential crisis!

                              --Ok!

                              --I just wanted to know How. Can. I. Cross. THE DAMN OCEAN?  

                              --Stay chill kid, I’ve got this! She took out a thing from her pocket and she blew in it, then a 45 feet animal came out of water and it wasn’t a blue whale. A little help from a seahorse!

                               --You can’t put the words “seahorse” and “little” referring to that thing!

                               --Oh, yes, I can. Player, say hi to Rudolf!

                               --RUDOLF? WHAT ARE YOU…SANTA…THE BARBARIAN!?

                               --Not really. Rudolf, say hello to the player! He said hello…i-in his language.

                               --Yep, I’m clearly going to make a raAAF- the monster picked me and sank into the water!

                               --Bye, bye, bon voyage through the ocean!

                               The monster took me to a temple under the water. In temple:

                                --COUGH…when I said to cross the ocean I DIDN’T MEAN UNDER WATER! All the torches in the room blew up.

                                --Greetings, my dear child! Said an old lady when she appeared from nowhere in front of my face.

                                --HOLY SHAMALAMA…sigh…ma’am I think you have the wrong person!

                                --No, no, that’s how I tell to the visitors!

                                --Ooo, so, you have tourists…riiight!

                                --No, every new player comes to me for the closet! She showed me like a Chinese closet -I made a redundancy, everything is made in China.

                                 --Closet, do you have problems with the furniture?

                                 --No, they get in it!

                                 --So…you kidnap kids... I’m calling the police!

                                 --No, you didn’t understand, it will be worth, plus is no police station in the middle of the ocean!

                                 --You’re the creepiest person I’ve ever met in my life!

                                 --Many people say that! Now, come on, it doesn’t bite!

                                 --At least I got rid of a fear! I got in the closet, immediately after I got in, I remained unconscious and I woke up in another world.

                                 I’ve heard a girly voice:

                                 --WARM WELCOME TO THE DIMENSION OF THOUGHTS! Said a grey colored skin girl with black clothes and amber colored eyes. And I’m the Spirit of Thoughts!

                                 --AAAAA!

                                 --Hmm, I thought that a Zentofea wouldn’t fear of literally everyone who says hello!

                                 --How did you know about that…AND MORE IMPORTANT, HOW DOES EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THAT NAME!?

                                 --Well, first, I know what every player thinks, and second, I know about that name because I put it!

                                 --But ho-

                                 --How do I know that? Well, the answer is in the name, MY NAME, DUH!

                                 --And how did I-

                                 --And how did you name it? Ho ho, well, that’s simple kid, it’s because all of those subliminal messages that I left around the place!

                                 --If-

                                 --If I control the thoughts, why didn’t I end the war, yet? …It’s because that war shouldn’t end, it’ll declare the true leader of this world, like you said it must be a good, brave, and worthy person to clean this mess.

                                --An-

                                --And that means-

                                --Oh, will you please let me talk?

                                --Ok, go ahead!

                                --…And that means I’ll have to fight to make a little difference?

                                --Kid, I think that you will change the whole world, trust me, I don’t say this to any other player…but you have to fight for that, although it’s like the real life!

                                --Yeah…it is!

                                --…So, are you ready for your first match?

                                --Y-yes…yes, I do! Let the game begins.

The Mighty Morphin’ Power Drunks

Or “Ace and Peter act like dorks and play with power ranger action figures.”

Request – For @that-kiss-bitch  - A fanfiction starring Peter Criss. I was inspired by this cute drawing of Ace and Peter playing Monopoly Jr. on Deviantart and N64 Girl. It’s a bit goofy but I hope you’ll still enjoy.

Rating: T for swearing and drinking.

……………………………………………………………………………………

KISS had just finished their soundcheck for the afternoon. They had a few hours to relax in their dressing room before the show. Paul was fixated on his mirror image, Gene was going over his flying rig stunt with Doc, Peter and Ace were drinking beers while Paul and Gene’s sons played with their power ranger action figures. The boys would bring their games and toys with them to entertain themselves while their dads worked.

Peter smiled as he watched the boys play happily. Ah…youth! He remembered his carefree childhood days fondly. Maybe it was the booze making him all sentimental but he was really starting to miss the good ol’ days.

“Catering has dinner ready!” Tommy called out from the dressing room door.

“Yay!” Nick and Evan cheered, racing each other out the door leaving their action figures scattered across the floor.

Paul, Gene and Doc followed the boys out of the room.

Ace sat across from Peter. He couldn’t wait to be alone with his best friend. There was something on his mind that had been bugging him all afternoon. He really needed to tell his friend but he had to wait until they were finally alone.

“Peter…there’s something I really want us to do,” Ace said as he grabbed Peter’s hands, looking him in the eyes intensely.

“Yes Ace,” Peter said, returning that intense gaze.

“Let’s play Monopoly Jr.!” Ace exclaimed.

“O…Okay!” Peter smiled and nodded his head happily. 

Apparently, Ace was feeling a little nostalgic too.

Ace and Peter searched through Nick and Evan’s play area for the board games. They were disappointed to not find them.

“I don’t think they brought them. It looks like they only brought those superhero dolls,” Peter sighed sadly.

“You mean The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers!” Ace corrected as he poured himself another glass of wine.

Peter snorted as he took another swig of his beer.

“C’mon Petey! Ya gotta admit they are pretty cool. They use dinosaur robots to beat up space monsters!”

Peter looked at his friend as if he were an idiot. “You actually watch that stupid kid’s show?”

“Well yeah…it’s great fun to watch while high,” Ace grinned.

“Yeah but they beat ‘em up the exact same way every single time! There’s a stupid ass monster and they start fighting it, and then the stupid ass monster gets big and the rangers use those cheesy lookin’ piece of shit robots, and then later the piece of shit robots combine into one giant piece of shit robot. Then the giant piece of shit robot kills the stupid ass monster. The fuckin’ end!” Peter ranted passionately.

Ace cackled. “You sure know an awful lot about this stupid kid’s show, Petey!”

Peter blushed. “Yeah...well maybe I was bored and there was nothing better to watch on TV one day…no big deal. They still suck!”

“Yeah, we were way cooler superheroes in KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park,” Ace grinned, taking a sip from his wine glass.

“Yeah, at least we got to rock n’ roll all night, got hot babes and got to drink lots of booze!” Peter added, reaching for another beer bottle.

“Hey, what if the power rangers liked hittin’ the sauce like we do!” Ace slurred.

“I guess that’d make them the Power Drinkers or something,” Peter chuckled, feeling a bit tipsy from all the booze.

“Or like the Mighty Morphin’ Power Drunks!” Ace exclaimed raising his wine glass to toast Peter’s beer bottle.

Ace and Peter cracked up over that name.

“We should change their names too. This white one can be Pinot, because he’s kinda like the color of Pinot,” Ace suggested, grabbing the white ranger clumsily.

“The green guy can be Gin…G for Gin,” Peter said, grabbing the green ranger.

“And red can be Kool-Aid!” Ace cheered.

“Ace, Kool-Aid is not an alcoholic beverage!” Peter scoffed.

“Yeah but it mixes well,” Ace shrugged.

“Oooookay…well yellow can be Tequila,” Peter suggested.

 “Ooooh! What kind?” Ace asked.

“The hell if I know…Patron? Does it really matter?”

“Heh...guess not. The pink one should be Champagne. I looove Champagne!” Ace exclaimed.

“We know buddy. We know. What do you wanna name the black one?” Peter asked.

“Beer!” Ace cheered obnoxiously.

“Good choice!” Peter complimented, raising his beer bottle up in approval.

“And blue can be Liquor,” Ace decided.

“Cool. Let’s make them beat the shit outta each other!” Peter exclaimed as he grabbed the black ranger while Ace grabbed the blue one.

Peter as Beer: “Liquor, why do you drink that shit!? Beer reigns supreme!”

Ace as Liquor: “Everyone knows Liquor is quicker!”

Peter as Beer: “Oh yeah! Ya wanna fight about it, tough guy?”

Ace as Liquor: “Bring it on! Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Ace tried to make Liquor kick Beer, but instead of hitting the toy, he hit Peter’s thumb by accident.

“Ow, that hurts! That was my finger, asshole!” Peter snapped.

“Sorry…” Ace shrugged.

“Take this! Waaaaaaaa!” Peter screeched as he made Beer hit Ace’s hand on purpose.

“Ow! That shit smarts!” Ace whined.

Ace picked up the red ranger next. “I want a piece of this action!”

“Back off Kool-Aid! You’re outta your league here! I got Gin and Pinot to back me up!” Peter said, grabbing the green and white rangers.

“Oh yeah? Well, Tyrannosaurus!” Ace screams out as he grabs the T-rex robot and puts Kool-Aid in it.

“Ah shit! What do the other Drunks drive again?” Peter asked as he was torn between the Mastodon and the Pterodactyl.

“Rawwwwr!” Ace roared as he used the T-rex robot to knock the black, green and white rangers out of Peter’s hands.

“Ummm Go, Go, prehistoric cat!” Peter yelled.

Ace cackled. “You mean, Saber Tooth Tiger?”

“Shut up Ace! That’s what I said!” Peter yelled as he hit the T-rex robot with the Saber Tooth Tiger robot.

“Mwahaha! You are a worthy opponent, Tequila, but you are no match for Champagne and Kool-Aid!” Ace laughed maniacally.

“Bring it!” Peter screamed as he lunged for Ace again.

At the moment Gene walked into the room.

“We can hear you two all the way down the hall. Why on earth are you both screaming about dinosaurs and alcoholic beverages?”

Ace and Peter froze with the action figures still in their hands.

Gene grinned. “Oh my God! Are you grown men actually playing with children’s toys? I gotta tell Paul about this!” Gene chuckled as he left the room.

“Shit! Ace, we gotta put the toys away and for the love of God do not mention the Power Drunks to anybody. You got it?” Peter asked.

“Whateva you say Pinot…err…I mean, Peter!”

“Damnit!”

K-Dramas of 2020

Well, like the general mood of 2020, the dramas this year were uh, certainly an adventure. I was going to put all the dramas I watched this year here, but uh. This turned out longer than expected so I’ll guess I’ll separate K-dramas at the very least.

Putting this behind a cut because Long.

Completed:

365: Repeat the year: I barely remember this one, but I gave it 8/10 on MDL, maybe I should lower that, because honestly all I remember are the time-travel meet up set and the main actors.

CHIP-IN: A short who-dunnit, which has interesting characters, although the show was very wise to be capped at 8 Episodes, because the “mystery” was pretty predictable and also starting to wear thin. Still, the younger cast was stellar and I hope we get to see them in more.

Diary of a Prosecutor: The cases in this drama were actually legit interesting to me and I found the politicking surprisingly not bad. People were flawed in very human ways, but the drama gave us enough time with our main characters to enjoy getting to know all of them.

Do you like Brahms: Contender for worst drama of the year for me, good lord I hated the way this tanked its story line, its characters and the romance. Is it believable that the main characters might act this way? ... Debatable. Is it entertaining to watch? Hell fucking no. Don’t watch this one, unless you like stupid misunderstandings and non communication. 

Extracurricular: Short action-y show on Netflix that makes me hopeful for what Sweet Home might be. 

Flower of Evil: Lee Jun Ki gets to suffer prettily. That is All. Okay Moon Chae Won and LJK were great together, but it got almost makjang-y by the end. 

Hospital Playlist: Delightful Slice of Life Medical show, that despite its delightfulness never quite got me. Very enjoyable and at 12 episodes it doesn’t overstay its welcome, but it didn’t stay with me either. 

Hot Stove League: Pretty entertaining and as a drama about sports management seems reasonably accurate? (Not that I’d know of course). 

Hyena: Flawed as heck in some aspects (the lawyer-plotting got lulzy and boring at the same time), but oh my god some of the HOTTEST chemistry this way from sunday. Joo Ji Hoon and Kim Hye Soo just crackled anytime they were on screen together and Joo Ji Hoon as the high powered lawyer who falls head over heels in love with KHS’s character who is more reluctant to act on those feelings is just *chefs kiss*. Also didn’t suffer the Dreaded Plot Denuement of 2020 (DPD2020). Sure the latter half wasn’t as tight as the beginning, but it stuck the landing and that’s all that matters. 

Into the Ring: Weird camera angles and sometimes overly sharp edited shots aside, this had a solid romance, great characters, great romance and almost made me want to get into community politics lmao. 

It’s Okay Not To Be Okay (Psycho But It’s Okay): The first half of this show is just *amazing*, the way the scenes transition is pretty much film-like and the main character trio is stunningly well acted. Sadly the story with the mom is resolved in the weirdest fucking way, but the drama decides to do the smart thing and just forget about it once that’s done and the finale made me cry ;_;. 

Itaewon Class: Sadly also suffered the DPD2020. I was really into the first half, loved the way the characters found support in each other, plus: a main trans character! Handled really well! Also iconic OST. I was one of the few people who was into the romance of the main couple, but the way the latter half of the plot developed was just completely nonsensical and felt like the writer was just trying to tie off the lose ends as much as possible. 

Kingdom Season 2: The first season was stellar and this continues the trend! Although it doesn’t quite reach the highs of the first season I am still so looking forward to season 3! More Joseon zombies please!

Money Game: I... apparently watched this, and looking at the logo there is some vague feeling of “Yeah this is familiar”. But nothing else...

Mr. Heart: Okay-ish BL drama that has it’s cute moments but nothing that made me go “Ooooh”. I am glad SK is getting in on this trend though!

My Holo Love: So all of those Robot/AI shows that came before that I’ve seen and had the premise of “Oh no, I’ve fallen for a ROBOT” when it either turned out their object of affection was either human or actually a robot, but their human counterpart was so shitty that no sane person would like them worked pretty well for me. This one didn’t. From what I remember the heroine does very much fall for the holographic version of this guy, but the human version is *different* and yet whoops the main couple is still human/human. Granted you can’t really do romantic kiss scenes between a girl and nothing, but the switch-over felt abrupt and the way our main lady just transfers her affections to the dude never sat right to me. 

Mystic Pop Up Bar: Quite a few dramas this year went with 12 eps, and were all the better for it. Hwang Jung Eum is incredibly hit or miss with me (mostly it’s miss honestly), but in this one she’s used really well and I liked the way the premise was used!

Private Lives: I recently wrote a longer post about this, but honestly another victim of terrible writing and maybe DPD2020. 

Stranger 2: Love! Not as much as Season 1, but man this writer is *so* good at writing smart and interesting plots and looking at things from many different angles!

Tale of the Nine Tailed: Flawed but man do I ever love the OTP. Like really really love it. Plus it stuck the landing for me in a way few dramas did in recent months.

The School Nurse Files: So weird. So fucking weird. And yet, so very entertaining. Thanks to its short length ( I think) some plot threads felt very much unceremoniously dropped, but it has a canon lesbian couple!

The World of the Married: Makjang to the Nth degree, got kind of exhausting by the end, but Kim Hee Ae is so good. 

Train: Yoon Shi Yoon gets to suffer prettily! 

When the Weather is Fine: Kinda mellow and sweet and I wish I could live like the main character does (just have a bookshop in the middle of nowhere and still no money issues??? The Dream) but for that also not super memorable. 

Where Your Eyes Linger: SK’s first major Webdrama I believe? Cute and as a foray into this genre not bad, but I hope this is just a taste of things to come.

Dropped:

Hi Bye, Mama: So many people loved this, I couldn’t get over the basic premise and the way my brain tried to tie the logic in this together made my head hurt.  The King: Eternal Monarch: Maybe KES dramas just aren’t for me, I didn’t like the plot or the main couple. Woo Do Hwan and Kim Kyung Nam were amazing though and please please I beg both of you do more stuff. 

18 Again: Nope. Lee Do Hyun is pretty, but the setup drove me bonkers and I pretty much liked no one. 

Zombie Detective: Yikes no thank you. Complete mismatch of tones I wanted and the drama gave me. 

Romantic Teacher Dr. Kim 2: Zzzzzzzzz. I found the first one mildly entertaining at least but this one just made me fall asleep immediately. 

Black Dog: Yeah I watched like 2 Episodes of this and lost interest. 

Search: I’ve watched like 6 eps and I know there’s zombies, but I couldn’t tell you much more tbh.

Start-Up: I watched 2 episodes in the beginning, didn’t think I’d want to live watch this and then just popcorned the tag until it got insufferable with the ship wars and this dropped out of my watch list pretty immediately.

Record of Youth: Pretty much the same deal as with Start-Up only in this case there wasn’t so much a shipwar as the tag showing me that this drama would *not* be my bag at all. 

Still Watching: 

Kairos: Hmmmm timey-wimey stuff. The FL is this close to losing me though. The fact I thought it plausible that she would murder someone just based on a TEXT from someone else says it all. (She didn’t, thank god, and seems to have found a few of her lost braincells, but by god she was frustrating). 

Birthcare Center: I like what it’s trying to say and the main character and her husband are very cute, but a lot of the side characters don’t really interest me. It’s only an 8 ep drama, so I might finish this.

The Spies Who Loved Me: Honestly I’m this close to dropping it. Only my intense love for Yoo In Na and fondness for Eric are keeping me going. But she might not end up with Eric and I’m gonna be mad. Honestly if they just went OT3 I’d be really cool with this, but despite the small advancements in dramaland, they aint ready for that yet. 

Lies of Lies: I watched 2 eps and I might continue (the premise seems hilariously makjang and sometimes I’m into that, but it’s *very* much on the backburner)

The Uncanny Counter: Delightful Webtoon vibe, with some great visuals and actually nice action. I’ve only seen 2 eps so far but at least they don’t want to make me poke my eyes out or make me fall asleep. Let’s hope it avoids the DPD2020 plague.

Tech Time

Tech Time

Okay, something’s amiss here.

Mom spent all day yesterday doing a big ol’deep clean of everything.

Now, there’s tons of food being made…

Hikaru hummed in thought, trying to think of what kind of event it was. He still wasn’t too familiar with the extended family. Not too ready to meet a bunch of people yet still.

Hm… Then again…

“Is it auntie? Cause you know she loves to talk-” Ken stopped mid sentence as Carmen raised an eyebrow, saying nothing. “Crap.”

“No.”

Yeah. If it was her side of the family, we’d probably have heard something.

Hikaru walked around the house, leaving Hideki and Carmen to their cooking. He didn’t wanna interrupt, they seemed pretty content to be where they were.

He moved to the back deck, finding Ken playing with Okami.

“C’mon, you want it?” The six year old asked as Okami hunched down, her tail wiggling in the air.

“Go… GET IT!” He threw the ball in his hand as hard as he could as it ricocheted across the yard. Okami nearly tripped over herself chasing after it.

“Geeze, she’s hyper today.”

“Ahuh.” Ken smiled, bouncing in place as Okami found the toy, rushing it back over. “Good girl!” 

“So, what’s up with Mom?” He asked, thumbing inside, dodging as the ball sailed over his head. “Hey, watch it!”

“Sorry! What about Mommy?” Ken tilted his head.

“Why’s she doing all the cleaning and… and that freakin feast! Tamales, fried plantains, all that freaking steak and the tortillas?” 

Ken smiled as it clicked now.

“Oh!” He giggled. He knew exactly what this was all about. “That’s cause Uncle Joseph’s coming over!”

Uncle Joseph…? 

Hikaru tilted his head, confusion in his eyes.

“Huh?”

“You’ll see.” Ken took the ball from Okami again, running off to play with her in a different area. “Wanna keep playing with us?” He called after.

“No thanks!”

“Awwww!” Ken pouted. “Why not?” 

“I got a robot to tinker with! Just be careful, no falls!”

“Okay!”

Hikaru looked off towards the road and downhill, the wind that picked up blowing his hair around.

“Uncle huh…?”

I wonder if they’re like Dad…

Or like us.

Hikaru hung around outside until the sun was starting to set. He was content to just have his tablet with him, texting Marco via Skype.

The wind was picking up as he shivered a little.

He looked up, meeting Carmen’s eyes as she peered out of the door. Her eyes widened before opening the screen door.

“Hikaru, why aren’t you wearing a jacket!?”

“I’m fine. Who’s Joseph?”

Carmen looked behind her towards the kitchen.

“Eiji?”

“I’m on it love, go.” 

She grabbed something before heading outside, joining her son offering him a black knitted sweater that had a dark blue shark fin stitched into the back.

“Ponte un sueter.” 

Hikaru shook his head. 

“Hikaru, this isn’t up for debate. It’s cold. Put on a sweater or go inside.” Carmen crossed her arms, raising a single eyebrow. 

Hikaru gulped, taking it and slipping it over him… He hated to admit, it was just what he needed.

“Sorry.”

She sat down next to him, looking down the hill towards the road.

“So, who is this Uncle Joseph Ken mentioned?”

Carmen smiled, leaning back in her chair. There was a nostalgic look in her eyes. 

Of course, it’s my little inventor who is the most curious.

“Well, Joseph isn’t really my brother but we’re close. He’s my best friend.” She chuckled, shaking her head. “Honestly, I don’t get to see him often but whenever I can, it’s just wonderful.”

“So, that’s why all the food and stuff?”

“Gotta pay him too.” At the confused look, she got, she grinned. “A couple of months ago, Eiji’s computer was infected with a pretty bad virus. His computer that he uses for work.”

Hikaru’s jaw dropped open a little.

“Yeah, that’s the face your father made too. Kenny had thought he won a free video game system and… yeah. He clicked a link that he wasn’t supposed to, thus, infecting the computer fully with a virus that was going to destroy work Eiji had uploaded since high school.”

Hikaru winced, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Ken was a good kid, but he was still that - a little kid, who didn’t fully understand the effect his actions had on others sometimes.

“Ooooh Titan…”

Carmen nodded, sighing.

“So, I called up Joseph. He and I went to college together too, we had the same graphics design course and hung out sometimes. He’s extremely skilled with computers, so anytime something like this happens, I call him up. He recovered everything successfully and yeah. So, he’s coming over to give a check on the computer and see if anything hardware wise needs repair too.” She smiled, giggling a bit. “He insists it’s nothing but I like giving him a good meal at least.”

“I get ya… Huh. Good to know.” 

They saw headlights coming up the hill as they both stood.

“And that’s his car. C’mon.” Carmen lead the way to the front of the house near the driveway, waving to the driver.

Hikaru kept a few paces behind her, curious.

The car came to a stop, parking behind Eiji’s, the driver stepping out. He was a young man with dark skin and brown hair, a bit of cowlick sticking up on the back of his head. He was wearing a black jacket with a graphic tee under it. His teal eyes were full of warmth as he waved to them.

“Hey, Carmen!”

“Joseph, good to see you!” She hurried up to him, giving him a hug.

He chuckled, hugging her tightly.

“Great to see you too. Trust you’ve been well?” He asked as they pulled away, heading up to the door.

“Really well.”

Joseph nodded, looking to Hikaru. A curious look came to his eyes as he nodded to him.

“And whom might this be?”

Carmen brought an arm around her son’s shoulders as Hikaru gave a sheepish smile.

“This is Hikaru. He’s my eldest son.” 

“We… We joined the family not too long ago.” Hikaru bowed his head quickly. “It’s good to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you too, kiddo.” Joseph shook his hand, a gentle look in his eyes. “It’s great to meet another nephew.”

Hikaru smiled, perking up.

“Yeah... Oh! Wait till you meet Hideki. C'mon!” He hurried inside.

Joseph looked to Carmen, a chuckle escaping him.

“He seems like a good kid.”

“He’s a great kid. Bit like you too.”

“Ah, I see. Maybe I can have some tinker time later.” He suggested, following her inside.

The house was as it always had been… provided there were two new voices, joining the cacophony of sound within.

Joseph barely had two seconds in the doorway before Ken bolted up to him, arms outstretched.

“UNCLE JOSEPH!!!”

“Whoa!” He laughed, scooping him up. “Missed you too Kenny! Oh, look at you, you’re getting so big!” 

Ken giggled, throwing an arm over Joseph’s shoulder.

“Not too big for hugs!”

Joseph chuckled, ruffling his hair. 

“There’s never such an age!”

“Heee!”

Eiji poked his head out of the kitchen, a smirk on his face.

“Ah, the man of the hour. Hope things have been well?”

“Oh, plenty.” Joseph chuckled, carrying Ken into the kitchen, inhaling the scent that was wafting around it, a content sigh leaving him.

This was definitely a favorite part of his visits.

“Carmen, you outdid yourself. It smells incredible.”

Carmen laughed, walking in behind him, a proud look in her eyes.

“Wish I could take credit for it.” She admitted. “I did a few of the dishes and we made the tamales all together as a family… but the rice? The pork?” She gestured to Hideki, a grin on her face. “That, goes to my favorite chef right here!”

Hideki blushed, smiling sheepishly, giving a quick bow.

“H-Hi.”

“Hey there. You must be Hideki.” Joseph gave him a gentle look. “I’m Joseph. It’s a pleasure to meet you… and I look forward to trying that food.”

“I promise, it’ll be good.” Hideki smiled.

“I have no doubt.”

Goodness, they’ve been busy.  

“Hey, hey, Uncle Joseph!” Ken poked his shoulder, getting his attention. “I got better at my rolls and cartwheels. You wanna see?”

“How about after dinner? You can show me while I’m doing the computer check.” Joseph offered.

Ken smiled brightly, hugging him again, letting out a small giggle.

“Okay!”

Hikaru opened his mouth to say something, instead choosing to go help set the table.

Would he be okay with me helping? If he knows about tech stuff… Maybe I could ask him for some advice…

It wouldn’t be too much, right?

After dinner, Joseph went down to the garage with Carmen to see what currently was going on with the computer.

Hikaru and Ken followed after, the smaller boy more interested in the parkour hurdles and balancing beams placed around the opposite side of the room. 

“Ah, still a beauty.” Joseph chuckled, looking over the computer. To some, it would’ve been a powerful gaming computer. Electronics lit up the console’s side paneling, the keyboard having inset lights that glowed an eerie shade of blue. No one would have suspected it housed over ten years of paranormal evidence, files and server information. 

“It should be. You helped make it.” Carmen smiled, leaning against the wall. 

Joseph nodded, setting down his tool bag, getting out a few specialized tools. Hikaru’s eyes went wide as he watched.

“Whoa…” He knelt down next to him, peering down into the bag. “H-How’d you swing these? These gotta be custom, right?”

“I made them myself.” Joseph held up one in particular as it lit up with teal colored light. “All for really seeing what’s going on inside and keeping things in check.”

“Incredible.”

Carmen exchanged a glance with him, gesturing with her head towards Joseph. Hikaru shook his head slightly…

“Hikaru?”

“Y-Yes?”

Joseph had a gentle look in his eyes, offering one of the tools and a headset to the teen, as Hikaru gave him a stunned look.

“I could use an assistant. If you want to.”

Hikaru nodded, excitement coming over him as he slipped on the headset. In an instant, he could see numerous codes appearing across the screen, commands and options appearing as well.

Joseph glanced at the necklace around his neck. He knew all too well what that symbol meant.

I think my brand of weird would be right up his alley.

“Comfortable?”

“I might never give this back.” Hikaru admitted, letting out a small chuckle as he took a tool into his hands. 

Joseph got to work, sifting through the programs and files, smiling as he saw no signs of virus activity or malware.

“You really like working with technology, huh?”

“I wanna dedicate everything to it.” Hikaru replied, his voice soft as he entered a code. “I’m in the bot club at school, actually. We make robots to take to competitions and fight but I wanna also make stuff for the world.”

Joseph gave him a curious look before going back to his work.

“That so huh? What kind?”

“Robots that can assist people who need help getting around. Round the clock carers. Robots that, if you're allergic to pets but want a robot animal, you can have one and have it as a therapy pet that can detect stuff like seizures or anxiety.” Hikaru replied, grinning. “And develop some new types of bots for surgery too. I’m already trying to figure out the coding for the precise movements. One of the new fighters we’re making is a cobra so I can really practice how fast but precise it needs to move. A-And video games.”

Joseph was impressed as he logged into Hikaru’s headset, noting how fast he was going. Fast but thorough. He looked at him, reminded of himself.

“Ah, I’m quite familiar with that stage. Eager to learn everything so you can practice and refine those skills later.” He smiled. “Very good choices… and I have no doubt that you’ll reach those goals.”

“Think so?”

“Try know so. I was like that when I was your age. Programming, tinkering… All of it fascinated me so much. I could hardly get enough of it… Dedicated my life’s work to it.” Joseph threw one of his tools into the air, catching it behind his back with ease. 

“What exactly is it you do?”

“Well, I run two things - I have Frost Laboratories, which is the medical equipment company my family runs.” Joseph explained, exchanging a look with Carmen. She gave a nod as he continued. “And my cyber security company, Glitch Pulse.”

“Whoa…” Hikaru’s eyes widened. “Mom, was not kidding when she said you were skilled.”

Joseph chuckled as he finished the software check. “I’ve just had a lot of practice.” He adjusted the headset. “Alright, now for the hardware check.”

“One quick thing.”

“Hm?”

Hikaru pointed to the left side of the room as he turned.

Ken waved to them before taking a running start, grabbing one of the hurdles and leaping over it.

“Ta-da”!

“Hey, that’s getting better! After this, I’ll show ya something really cool.”

“Joseph, no!”

“Yessss.” 

Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

“Okay, what? Does everyone do parkour now?”

“Oh no, no, I don’t do that crazy stuff but I’ve got a few things useful for it.” Joseph unscrewed the console panel, revealing the motherboard within. “Alright, speak to me… I’m listening.”

“Huh…” Hikaru looked at the equipment in his hands. “... Hey, Uncle Joseph?”

“Yeah, kiddo?”

“Can… Can you teach me some stuff? Any of this.”

Joseph looked up, giving him a warm look.

“Consider it a deal, kiddo. C’mere, lemme show you how this beauty was put together.”

Hikaru nodded, getting closer as the two started to work, Joseph showing Hikaru where certain panels were meant to go or explaining the algorithm of programs he had developed for the system.

Carmen leaned her head back, content.

Her sons were happy, one of her closest friends was there.

All together… Just like it should. Happy and safe.

She smiled softly at the look of wonder Hikaru had on his face.

You’re going to do great things.

I just know it.

(Second film. At cotillion. Part one. After the press interviews)

Evie (ruefully): go on. Say it. I know you want to

Doug: what do I want.

Evie: you want to say I’m wrong. That I shouldn’t make Mal do this when all she wants is to fade into the background

Doug: you’re doing what you think is right. Mal did what she thought was right. Uma’s doing what she thinks is right. And besides. You’re never wrong. You’re a princess. Royalty. You couldn’t possibly be wrong if you tried.

Evie: aww.

Doug: and. I don’t have to say it. Cause you just did.

(Evie laughs)

Doug: uh oh

Evie: what?

Doug: I spy with my prescription eye wear someone that tried to kill my best friend.

(At the buffet table is Harry munching on the food on offer like a man starving)

Evie: oh this should be fun

Doug: I have the gloves.

Evie: I’ll glamour you so you won’t be seen

(Doug makes his way over to Harry exosuit gloves on and slaps the pirate on the shoulder)

Doug: hello mr hook

Harry (in severe pain from the volts of electricity shooting through his arm): what. What’re you. How!?

Doug: do you really think after all you’ve done that we’d just let you off Scot free without fighting back?

Harry: yes?

Doug: wrong answer

(He steers Harry through the crowd back to Evie. Who socks him in the mouth)

Evie: that’s for trying to kill my family. And that (she kicks his shin where dizzy stabbed him) is for hypnotising Ben

Harry: how’d ya know

Doug: Mal saw you.

Harry: ah.

(He starts to run but Evie uses magic to stop him and summons the hook to her hand)

Evie: you know. My forte IS chemistry. But I’m seriously considering taking biology as an elective. I do so love cutting open slimy little toadies. Sorry. I meant toads

Harry (derisively): hur hur

Carlos: what the fuck is that utter clown doing here?

Doug: it’s an interrogation

Carlos: well that’s all well and good but Jay’s about to come down with Mal any second and if the creature from the black lagoon is here they won’t be responsible for their actions.

Evie: ah. Did not think of that

Carlos: and we’re the smart ones. Poof him into w drain where he belongs.

(Evie does so and the three go back to the dance floor)

Lumiere: presenting the future lady Mal (aside to her) love the dress

Mal (smiling shyly): thank you

Jay: ready?

Mal: nope

(Arm in arm they walk down the steps together)

Lonnie: game plan. Go

Mal: we do nothing.

Jay: that’s not all. We keep Mal happy. Make sure she enjoys herself

Lonnie: Oh. Um. So we don’t rip this Uma girl limb from limb?

Evie: believe me. I had the same idea

Doug: but it’s not worth it. Not when Ben can call out the firing squad on us

Lonnie: ahhhh. Nice hair you two. Love the braid jay.

Carlos: thank you.

Jay (one arm hugging him): my guys very talented

Lonnie: it’s a Dutch braid isn’t it?

Carlos: yep

Lonnie: nice. And you Mal

Mal: magic. Nobody touches my hair but me

Lonnie (fondly): I remember. C’mere (she pulls Mal into a tight hug). No matter what happens tonight we’re on your side. We’re with you Mal

Mal: thank you. And dizzy picked out the style

Carlos: look who’s up

Jane: time to face the music

Lumiere: presenting king Benjamin Flor-Oh my god

(Ben’s arrived with Uma on his arm. She looks proud and haughty. And seems to be looking for Harry. Then she lays eyes on Gil, who’s hiding behind Lonnie, and her expression hardens)

Lumiere: and you are ma’am?

Ben (robotically): Uma

Lumiere (not liking the situation one bit but playing along): presenting king Benjamin Florian and...lady Uma

Gil (innocently): Uma looks nice.

Jay: good, we can bury her in it

Evie: I’m thinking Viking funeral

Carlos: why wait to kill her. Deep fried shrimp is a delicacy as far as I’m concerned. Burn the bitch alive I say

Doug (under his breath): 🎶not yet🎶

(Uma and Ben have started the opening dance)

Evie: oh my god

Doug: what’s wrong?

Evie: I made that dress

Doug: not the time honey

Evie: right sorry.

Mal: I can’t. I’m sorry. I just can’t

Jay: shh shh. It’s ok. C’mon

(Jay leads her out)

Lumiere: boys! Show the window

Mal: what window

Lumiere: please just wait. This has happened before and

Ben: can I have everyone’s attention please

Lumiere: enculé. Que ce passe-t-il?

Mal: ta supposition est aussi bonne que la mienne

Jay: Then let’s watch

Ben: Uma will be joining me as my lady of the court tonight. And we’ll be bringing the barrier down permanently

(Every single Auradonian lets out an overly dramatic gasp)

Adam: he can’t do that

(Just then Mal’s mother arrives)

Elsa: I think you’ll find he can Adam. He’s the king after all. Since you seem in constant need of reminding. And anyway he’s hypnotised by the shell around her neck.

(A black haired girl in a bathrobe barges past Elsa)

Melody: you and that rat looking boy knocked me out tied me to my vanity mirror and stole my dress

Evie (jovial): MELODY!!!! THAT’S WHOSE DRESS IT IS.

Uma (smirking): well I did have to take it in at the hips a little bit. Ben carry on with what you were saying

Ben: that was it

Elsa (aside to Verna): at times like these it’s best to not take what he says seriously until the affliction is fixed

Verna (still under Uma’s power): pardon?

Ben (rather rudely): hey you. Walking Christmas card. Gimme the wand

Elsa: and there it is

Verna: no

Ben: give it. To me

Verna: no

Ben (with Uma’s voice covering his own): GIVE ME THE WAND YOU STUPID BITCH

Verna: I do not take orders from you young lady

Adam (trying to intervene): son if you’d just listen to reason

Ben (still in an Uma induced rage): why would I listen to you. I AM YOUR KING

(He starts to force choke his father)

Mal: what do we do

Elsa: they’re your people my girl. It’s up to you

Uma: oh yes. The traitor. Tell them your ladyship. What are you going to do?

Mal: Doug’s the regent

Doug: but as of this moment I answer to you

Mal: ...restrain Ben

Doug: may I have a heavy portable telescope please my darling

Evie: of course my love

(Doug uses the telescope Evie magics up for him to knock out Ben)

Doug: in hindsight I probably should have asked for a baseball bat

(Evie’s blushing a little)

Carlos: seriously

Evie: oh like you don’t get worked up when jay’s being badass?

Carlos: touché

Uma: eh. Oh well. He just acted like a lost mutt. Harry! Get the wand. Harry? Where’s. What did you do to him

Evie: oh yes. The toad boy. I believe he’s currently in a hellscape

Uma (filled with quiet rage): you sent him back THERE?

Evie (smiling sweetly): oh no captain. I placed him in another dimension. Falling through the void surrounded by all he fears most in the world. Spiders. Crocodiles. And his father

Carlos (highly impressed): oh my

Lumiere: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE PLEASE SHOW LADY MAL THE WINDOW

Jane: right yes.

(She pulls off the curtain revealing the stained glass window Ben has made)

Mal (in awe): wow. I look

Jay: like yourself. No brunette hair in sight. And incredibly powerful. That’s why he loves you.

Mal: I was an idiot wasn’t I. I shouldn’t have tried to change myself when I didn’t need to not when

Jay: he loves you just as you are

Belle: I’m confused what happened

Elsa: like I keep telling you queen mother. She did exactly what I did. What happened to you. You used to be so intelligent and (she spots beast gasping for air on the deck) oh. I see. Never mind

Belle (without humour): hahaha. (More compassionately). Mal dear who is that girl

Elsa: a victim of yours queen mother.

Mal: I hurt her. Over eight years ago I hurt her.

Jay: and she’s been hell bent on destroying her life since

Mal: how do I free Ben.

Elsa: magic works different depending on who wields it. Smashing the shell may not necessarily work like it did with her mother and Ariel. Might be best to use an old fashioned method

Mal: meaning (jay hands her a lipstick) ahhh. But I don’t wear ooooh purple nice

Elsa: you might want to turn around queen mother

Belle: why

Jay: cause your sons gonna get frenched by his girlfriend in front of the entire student body. Still wanna watch?

(Belle promptly turns around)

Jay: didn’t think so

Mal: how do we even know that it’ll work though

Jay: two reasons. A. Uma’s magic is weaker then yours. You can beat her. B. The boy made a stained glass window that essentially says “do with me what you will” and your really second guessing yourself?

Mal: yes

Jay: oh boy. C’mon. I’ll restrain Uma. You kiss him

(This is when “far away” starts up)

Event: Sports Festival

Route Availability: Every Character (interactions vary with each)

Timing: June-August, Year 1

I dunno if I can even play volleyball...

Hmm... your hands are round so I get why you're insecure, but it'll be fine... probaby.

At least you take things seriously unlike Monokuma... I can trust you.

Th-Thank you, Chiaki...

I'm everyone's teacher, after all. I shouldn't be such a Negative Nancy.

Yeah, let's do our best. There are games where animal mascot characters are super strong. You went all-out with Chiaki and the others! Obtain Green Talent Fragments

Alright, leave it to me!

If I gotta do this, then I'm gonna make sure I get super pumped up! Follow my lead, guys!

Ooooh, Usami's super excited! But there's no way I'll lose in that department!

I'm gonna make and receive every serve... and I'm even gonna spike the ball like a pro, too!

... Well, I'm not expecting that much from you.

Y-You're not...? Ughhhh... You made wobbly serves, received with your whole body, and never landed a single spike! Obtain Blue Talent Fragments

I must greet everyone on the opposing team!

Um... I didn't know you were allowed to participate...

It may surprise you... but I'm a player today! So let's get out there and do our best!

You're right... Keebo's participating, so I guess another robot should be allowed, too... 1

Robot? Wait, you weren't bothered because I'm not a student?

Well... you're a girl, so there's no problem! Let's do our best!

... Would it be a problem if I was a boy? Somehow, the other team acknowledged you as a worthy opponent! 1 This is interesting, because volleyball was designated as a 'girls only sport' during this festival as mentioned by Ouma here. This backs up the previous comment by Kiibo during chapter 2 of the main game in V3 where he says he doesn't really have a gender when Tenko asks him. Obtain Red Talent Fragments

Text Symbols Code and Abbreviation 

text symbols is very easy to understand the SMS symbols. This is how you discover the meaning of the SMS symbols or emoticons as they are called that you receive. However, if you encounter problems, you can consult the following list of SMS symbols. There are many people who are new to texting and chatting online. These people find it very daunting when they receive a text message with smiley faces. They cannot decipher the meanings, especially when typing in: ^ {or: (#).

text symbols

This is a new form of communication that is also called Short Text Messages (SMS). We must use our cell phone to send chat messages to our friends. In addition to texting, we are also addicted to online chats.

Text Symbols History

Smiley Face Symbol The idea and the first use of a smiley with text is credited to Scott Elliott Fahlman, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University. He thought that using smile and frown text symbols would help notice board users to distinguish between serious messages and jokes. The message with details about the use of smiley emoticons was posted in September 1982. In this article, Smiley Lore :-), Fahlman describes why he felt it was necessary to mark messages that contributors did not want to take seriously by others who read it Bulletin board:

Common Text Message Emoticon Symbols

Emoticons are images or faces made of characters on the keyboard of a mobile phone. You can choose to send emoticons to express your mood or add some humor or personality to a message instead of typing a full message.

Other text message Symbol Meaning Sources

The popular symbols and emoticons change daily and new ones are constantly being made. If you don't find any symbols and emoticons on these lists that meet your needs or get confused by a message you've received, look at some online databases with a more extensive list of text symbols, emoticons and other fun text message ideas.

It even becomes embarrassing to ask about their meanings, because it implies that you are not aware of the latest developments in technologically cool languages. You don't have to worry anymore. This Techspirited article covers some of the most commonly used symbols used for texting and chatting. You can refer to the following list of SMS symbols as a dictionary to help resolve your confusion behind the various acronyms and abbreviations.

We often hear a new word and hurry to refer a dictionary to its meaning. With new words added to the language every other day, it is difficult to keep track of their meanings. For example, a dictionary appears to be a life saver. As the form of communication changes every other day, we are becoming more addicted to texting. So if you are an avid texter or an instant messaging user, you must have encountered many SMS abbreviations.

What else? You can even send some text symbols that symbolize a word. What do these type of abbreviations, acronyms and short text forms stand for? Which dictionary should you refer to to decrypt the code behind these SMS symbols? This is where we will help you. When typing with your thumbs, save your effort by communicating with as few letters as possible. Consequently, users created SMS symbols as a sort of shorthand to make SMSing easier and faster. Most symbols are logical and have become a mainstay in SMS language.

How to make text symbols a smiley

To create a smiley with text, use standard characters and punctuation in sets that resemble human facial expressions. Smiley face text is all set aside.

"This problem has led some of us (only half seriously) to suggest that it might be a good idea to explicitly highlight messages that should not be taken seriously. After all, when using text-based online communication, we miss the body language or tone-of-voice signals that convey this information when we talk in person or on the phone Several massages about "joke markings" were suggested in the middle of that chat or  discussion it dawned on me that the character sequence :-) an elegant solution - a solution that can be processed by the ASCII-based computer terminals of that day. "

Read also about at sign (@)

When you receive a message with the alphabet 'Y', this simply stands for the word 'why'. If someone says "U8?" Sends, do they actually mean that you ate? The 'U' stands for you and '8' stands for eaten. If you get a text symbol in massage from someone like: "(it simply means that sender is crying. The symbol <3 stands for heart. Vowels in the spelling are usually omitted because it helps to minimize the number of keystrokes. For example," btwn "is in between because and "hndsm" stands for handsome.

With these symbols you not only save time, but you can also send longer texts that contain more personality and emotion. You can also use these text symbols when sending messages on popular social networking sites. If you can't find a symbol or emoticon that meets your needs, create one yourself and teach it to your friends. Who knows? Your symbol or emoticon can become the next trend.

Spiritale chapter 32

1,637 words

                  Chapter 32: Undyne and N-N-N-N-NASTABOT

Later in Hotland…

“Hahahah, she did that too?”, Chara asked laughing while walking.

“Yup, messed up the kitchen and eeeverthing else”, You said slowly moving your hand apart.

“Wow they are so alike”

“You don’t know the half of it…oh we’re here”, you said seeing the lab ahead of you and Chara.

“Wow this place is big”, Chara said looking up, “You said Undyne is nice right?”

“That and very nervous, you’ll hear all of stuttering”

“Okay then, let’s do this”, Chara walking inside.

It’s dark, but well-lit by the big screen camera tv. Chara was surprised to see themselves on the screen. You reminded them of the camera you both saw outside the Ruins, Chara was more surprised. But calm about it.

“Oh geez it’s dark in here”, you both heard someone say then turned on the lights, “Alright I just need to get these papers in order then….AH!”, they said- oh snap it’s Undyne! she got spooked when she saw Chara then dropped her papers.

Chara got spooked too, but you, you are SHOCKED! Look at her, she’s ssooo…so pretty~! With her hair in a bun and a hair bang on her left eye, wearing glasses, and that lab coat with that black shirt and blue jeeeans, OMG! Your Undyne was cool, but this one is SO PRETTY~! OMG! You saw Chara help Undyne pick up the papers.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you were h-here already…”, Undyne said holding the paper and put her bang behind her…you think fish ears?, “So uh…hi, mmy name is Dr. Undyne and I’m the royal scientist for Queen Toriel”, she introduced leading one of her hands.

“…Hello Undyne, my name is Chara”, Chara introduced shaking her hand.

Aaaw, they’re getting along so well~. That’s good. Undyne tells Chara that they want to help them on their journey through the Underground, this made Chara sssuuuuper happy meeting another monster who won’t fight them. That’s going to end when-

“You see…I made this robot named Napstabot who’s uuh uum a dj and entertainer, but I added a chip in him that…uuuh…h-h-has him kill any human in sight? Hehehe…hehe….”, Undyne said…oh no.

“W-WHAT?!”, Chara shouted in shocked.

“B-b-b-but I can uninstall it!”, Undyne shouted nervously waving her hand back and forth quickly, “I just need to- *BANG* wha? *BANG* that can’t be… *BANG* *BANG* Aw no!”

“*CRASH*…AAAWW YEA!!!” everyone heard the Napstabot say, “Greetings my homies…TO TODAY’S GAME SHOOOW!!!” he shouted.

The spotlight showed a robot that looked just like Mettaton’s old form, but this had a blue hat turned sideways and the squares on him “face” made a blue N. Lights hit the disco balls and bounce from the ceiling and floor, it feel like a party is about it happen.

“Oh man, I just know this is gonna be an awesome show! Every make some noise for our contestaannnt!”, Napstabot shouted then pointed the mic off and puts his other hand on where an ear would be.

A random audience cheers for Chara, wow this is very energetic. You are digging the music that’s playing, sadly Chara is just as nervous as Undyne. You can relate.

“If ya haven’t played before the rules are simple: I’ll make a sweet verse and you try give me a word that rhymes”, Napstabot explains, “I’ll show you the word that needs a rhyme, but if you can’t think of one….YOU DIE!!!”

OH BOY!!! Okay you did NOT except none of this. You know Blooky likes making music, but this…is out of you’re league! You don’t know what to tell Chara. They brought into battle…wow…this music. It really…makes you wanna dance, you can’t help yourself.

“Let’s get down to it!”, Napstabot said moving back and forth to the music, “This is for the Queen, our one true redeemer, you know who she is she's Toriel ________”, he rapped then stopped folding his arms still moving to the beat.

*An option showed up in front of Chara: A. Teeeameer B. Streamurr C. Dreemurr D. Lemur*

“Psst, Chara look”, You whispered then pointed to Undyne who was giving them the answer.

“Dr-dreemurr?”, Chara answered nervously shrugging.

“Yea, now you’re gettin’ it!”, Napstabot said with both arms in the air, “Let’s keep it up! I’m hot as a kettle and more than plastic, you know me I’m made of _____ and _____”, he rapped.

*An option appears: A. Petals & Fabric B. Metal & Magic C. Betel & Matches D. Pebbles & Static*

“Wow…Metal & Magic”, Chara said looking at the options then answered.

“You know iiiit!”, Napstabot said.

*The game goes one*

The uh….next one was….oh my gosh. Napstabot rapped so fast, he forgot to show Chara the words they needed to rhyme. You are both speechless. Good thing Undyne showed them the answer, something you are surprise she knows…

“I bet you can’t answer this one: From coast to coast you love them the most, without any doubt you kiss a _____”

*….All the answers say ghost*

*Undyne looks away while hiding her smile, this was too cute and too easy*

*Chara answers*

“I’m diggin’ it, awesome answer!”, hahah cuuute, “I got one for ya: Napstabot is more than an affinity, my name goes on throughout ________”

*An options appear: A. Modernity B. Paternity C. Eternity D. Maternity*

“Eternity”, Chara said then realized they said it on beat heheh.

“Oooof course!”, Napstabot said pointing to Chara while their arms bounced to the music “Now it’s time for the B-B-B-BONUS ROOOUND!!!”

*Random audience cheer*

“Here’s one for ya: What rhymes with Napstabot?”

*The option appear: A. Mixalot B. Totallyhot C. Rightonthedot D. Napstabot*

“…. Napstabot?”

“Awww now ya just showin’ off~!” wow…just wow, “ Aight, come up with some sick rhyme in 30 second using what’s in this jar!” Napstabot said bringing up a jar with a fly from behind his back.

“Uuum….fl-fly…FLY HIGH ABOVE THE SKY!!!”, Chara shouted answering quickly and scarcely.

“AAAWWW SSSNNNAAAP, THAT WAS DOOOPE!!!!”, Napstabot shouted accidentally throwing the jar out his hand.

*Undyne catches the jar Napstabot threw*

“You better get your knowledge on kid: In Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 2, who is the best in crew?”

“RUE, RUE, it’s totally Rue!”, Undyne burst out answering happily”, She’s the sweetest and bravest one of the group, in one of the epic fights she used her most powerful weapon to protect her family…and…friends…”, ooooh boooy Undyne fan girled very quickly then slowly realized what she just did.

“Yo, yo, yo Undyne, are you spillin’ the beans to our gamer?”, Napstabot asked folding his arms still bouncing to the music, “Girl ya should have said so. Well now human I got a request for ya that can’t back down. Raise a shoutout to the monster Undyne likes!”, he said putting the mic to his screen and pointed to the air with the other hand.

*You and Chara see Undyne putting her hands together and shaking her head*

“It’s….it’s…eeeh…i-it’s a mystery! Yea iiit’s a mystery…”, Chara answered nervously shrugging with both arms out.

“Aw yea they are”, Napstabot said putting their hand on their side”, YO MYSTTEERRYYYY, UNDYNE THINKS YOU CUUTE AND HOOOT~!!!”

….Wwwwow! Hehahahahah!

“Well my homies, this is only the appetizer for the party”, Napstabot said rocking to the beat, “Next time we’ll have MORE BEATS, MORE ACTION, MORE BLOODSHED!!! Until next time, stay frosstttyyyy….!!!”, he shouted scarcely and flew away.

All the lights turn back on after he left. This was allll Mettaton’s level, but more towards music! …You really liked it.

“Thank you so so sooooo much for not saying who I…l-l-like hehe, b-but I can help you on your journey I promise!”, Undyne said kneeing down and holding Chara’s hands with a smile, “Here I can even give you my phone number!”, she said pulling her cellphone out she lab coat pocket.

“Oh thanks Undyne”, Chara thanked pulling their phone out their pants pocket then handing it to her.

“No probl-huh?”, Undyne said taking the phone.

“What’s wrong?”

“This phone is ancient, it won’t even take text messages”, Undyne said analyzing Chara’s phone, “Hold on, I have a better model somewhere”, she said walking to the escalator.

Okay…JEEZ!!! You both heard glass breaking, a lot stuff crashing, and-!!!! Was…WAS THAT AN EXPLOSION??!! You and Chara slowly looked at each then slowly looked at the escalator in complete shock!

“Ah ha I found it…here you go”, Undyne shouted then said getting off the escalator, “This is last year’s model, but it’s waaay better than the old one. I even put your friend’s numbers in it”, she said giving the phone.

“Wooow, thank you Undyne!”, Chara thanked looking at the phone then Undyne.

“But wait, there’s more”, Undyne kneeing down.

Undyne is now showing Chara all the phone’s functions and modes, even showing them the online site she signed them up for. Chara is thankful and Undyne leaves to clean up the mess she caused. Now that you noticed it, Undyne’s lab is really realllly clean. Papers on her desk are organized, she has a trash AND a recycle bin, she’s even got sticky note neatly placed in squares orader  on a wall beside her desk. Wow, just like your Undyne!

“I’m feeling pretty good about this place Frisk”, Chara said with their new phone in their hand.

“Sweet, buuut you should wear your normal clothes”, you suggest with one hand on your hip and the other pointing to Chara, “It’s gonna get reeeeal hot here”

“Guess that’s why it’s called Hotland, hahaha right?!”

“Hhhahaha, but no seriously it’s gonna get hot” 

(XD LOL this character is so much fun to type, I was totally in character with him)

20th December, 12:44

 “You’re late.”

Hank looked up toward Fowler.

“You still count my retards? You’ve nothing to do, Jeffrey?” Hank teased as he moved in the precinct.

In his hand, there was a colorful magazine.

“Your work is to come here and resolve cases. I know you made a great job lastly but I think I should rather thank Connor.”

“Where is he by the bye?”

“Since it was his break and he works too much, he went to the park with Eliza’,” Gavin replied, bent over Felix shoulder as they fixed a case.

They have everything to put in jail a psychopath dismembering his victims.

“She’s there?”

“Captain David Allen brought her this morning,” Fowler sighed. “Gavin, can’t you hire a babysitter?”

“No. I’ll bring Connor back,” he said, straightened.

“Excuse me?!”

“I didn’t take lunch break. I do now. And I’ll be back in fifteen minutes if the circulation is good.” Gavin checked his keys. “Finish that, Felix. I’ll look when I’ll come back.”

“Alright. Have a nice road.”

“Thanks.”

Gavin waved his hand and moved toward the precinct’s exit.

 20th December, 12:51

 Elizabeth was laughing as she was pushed in a swing. She was clamped at the iron ropes and moved her legs. As she did that, the swing moved faster again and she was smiled, hearing Connor laughed too. They had a quick lunch with sandwich thanks to Subway and ate there. They played with snow and now in the swing. Since it was holidays, there were other children but most of them left with their parents to eat.

Connor liked to see the little girl laughed.

She was really cute with her warm coat, scarf and cap. However, she stayed frozen and he gave to her his vest. It was almost hide under her cloak because it was warmer that way and better against the cold wind. You could see the gray vest in the swing’s motion and she was still laughing.

A little light came in this gray-dark, heavy cloud blocking the Sun promising rain or more snow, and Connor turned his head. Raising the head, he stopped softly the swing, his other arms came around the little girl’s waist.

“Gavin!”

“Papa!”

Elizabeth jumped on the floor and, as the Android let her go, she ran toward the man. He caught her and leave her in the sky, smiling.

“You had fun?”

“Yes! Conny is still awesome! When do you marry him?”

“I still don’t think I’ll do it.”

“Buuuut…”

“No ‘buuut’.” He put her on the snowy floor and looked Connor.

The robot, smiling slightly, cramped his hands on his arms and was rubbing. The white shirt became a bit transparent since the frozen flakes fell on it.

“Something’s wrong, Connor?” Gavin asked.

“No, everything’s alright…” he smiled softly.

“Do you think I’m stupid?”

“No. Of course, no.”

Gavin approached and looked Connor’s visage then touched his cheek.

“You’re dead cold!”

“Yeah. But Elizabeth was really cold too and…”

“Hush.”

Gavin took his vest and put it around Connor, squeezing him against his chest. The Android pressed himself against the man, smiling a bit.

“Eliza’, let’s go back to the car. And you…” Gavin looked Connor. “Just warm you up. I’ve maybe a bit of coffee?”

“I’m okay.” Connor pressed against him.

“You’re still cold.” Reed was impressed the first time he felt him because he was warm and there…

“Sorry?”

“You shouldn’t have done that.”

“But Elizabeth was cold.”

Connor pressed his hands against the leather jacket.

“Don’t try to steal that from me.”

“Okay. But can I have a kiss?”

“A kiss and I keep my stuff?” Gavin laughed a bit.

Connor smiled and nodded as the three of them moved toward the car. It wasn’t really away from there. Elizabeth came toward them and took her papa’s hand. The arm of the man was around Connor, pressed against him.

“Do you want to tell to papa everything we did?”

“Yes! It was awesome, papa! First we made a stop to Subway and I took chicken and Bacon ranch… then Connor offered me a salad. It was so good!”

“Salad, of course,” Gavin said with a little smile.

He took Connor chin in his fingers and kissed him softly.

“And then?” he asked toward his daughter.

“We came here and played. I met few children but I preferred to play with Connor.”

“Of course,” Gavin smiled.

“I love him so much! But it would be better with you two! And I’m so happy to discover that place. Thank you, Connor!!”

“You’re welcome, Elizabeth.”

They walked and Gavin rubbed the boy’s shoulder.

“Papa, we need to come again, okay?”

“What?”

“We need to come again, yes?” she repeated.

“U-uh… What?!”

“Oh… Can we come again, papa? Please?”

“We’ll try, okay? I’m busy but we’ll found time.”

“Yeah!”

“I can bring her more often?” Connor offered.

“Thanks.”

“Conny is the best!” sang the little girl.

Gavin opened his car and his daughter climbed at the back. He checked she clipped correctly her belt then opened for Connor.

“Thank you,” he said.

“Turn the heater on, now.”

“I’m okay, you know?”

The car was shut and Connor bent to turn the heater on. He clipped his belt and looked Gavin who just sat next to him. The man took his hands, they were still damn cold. He pressed them against his lips and warmed them between them.

“And what did you do exactly, darling?”

“We met two nice boys and we play in the… How do you say? It’s the thing that turns…”

“Turnstile,” Connor said.

“Yeah! But I fell and Conny didn’t want me to stay on it.”

“She cried a lot, I was worry…”

Gavin looked him then the little girl.

“Then we went to the swing. I got on it and Conny pushed. There weren’t much people so I could stay as much as I wanted! And then… You arrived!”

“I can remember that,” the man said.

His daughter laughed softly.

“I’m happy you had great time. And I’m sorry you don’t have things at the precinct. I swear to you we’ll quit at the right time.”

“Daddy said you’ll promise that.”

“And…?”

“And he said if you don’t do it, I must cry at Conny’s!”

“Conny’s?”

“Yes.” She smiled genuinely.

“He really thinks Connor can make me do something.”

“I’m a negotiator. I certainly can manage you to stop working for you daughter.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Watch me.” Connor pressed a kiss on his lips as the man was agape. “Are they warm enough?”

Gavin wanted so much to help them to warm up. He wanted to kiss him and touch him everywhere but they weren’t alone. Then, he touched his face, his neck and squeezed gently his hands.

“Yeah. Let’s go back to work. And don’t worry my Queen, we’ll found something for you.”

“Okay,” she said, a bit pouty.

 20th December, 13:31

 Since Hank struggled so much with his computer, Felix was beside him and… god, that machine typed so fast. Plus, it wasn’t only useful for him. What was that?! It was even hard to thank him seeing what that monster can do.

“You must help me too,” Tina said. “You’re typing so fast.”

“I bet he’s faster everywhere,” a voice mocked.

“Indeed, Detective Reed. I was made for that.”

Gavin laughed, his daughter on his arms. She took off her coat and her father threw it on his chair but she still has Connor’s vest. So this one has the leather jacket. Hank rose an eyebrow then looked the little girl. He smiled to her.

“Dad, do you need help?” Connor asked.

“I think. And Felix is asked all over around.”

“Okay. I need to check something with Fowler and I come.”

“Thanks, son.”

“You need to?” Felix asked, surprise.

Connor nodded.

“You can already help others. I won’t be long.” He smiled then went to the glass office.

Immediately, Fowler looked not happy to be interrupted. Felix straightened and went to Tina. As he did that, the precinct was filled by workers going back to their stuff and Elizabeth moaned on moving her legs. She was on her papa lap, with his phone to keep her busy but she wanted to move. She had already draw and play with the phone this morning and she was so happy with Connor because she could run and jump and she wanted so much to do snowmen with Connor. He was surprised by this game and seemed to wanted it too…

Being there was really annoying.

“Stop it, Eliza’,” her father said.

“But I’m boreeeeeed.”

Gavin took his phone and looked for the new games she could try. Or the old? Why not pacman?

“I don’t want to play in the phone.”

“Elizabeth.”

“Buuuuuut.”

“Don’t start to fu…” He succeeded to stop him in the middle of the sentence.

Maybe because of the tears in his daughter’s face? When he was about to cry in Connor, he didn’t say to him his worst fear. Because he could hate his precious Queen but most of all, he was so afraid someone could take her from him. Because he was a bad father working too much and letting her cry in a precinct?

“What do you want to do?” he asked as he could feel way too many looks lost on them.

On him.

God, he hated them all.

“I don’t know… I want to do something fun. Please?”

“Your dad gave you stuff, isn’t it? Where is this fu…dge stuff?”

He put her on the floor and got up to search the bag. He perforce put it somewhere there. But where? He couldn’t put the hand on it. Why? David dropped off the youngie and stuff. He saw it not so lately…

“Lizzie?”

“Yes?” The little girl turned toward the Lieutenant.

The man waved the colorful magazine to the kid.

“Do you want this? Connor hadn’t chosen his present yet.”

“Ooooh… He needs help?”

“Yes.”

Gavin looked toward Hank, maybe a little thankful. Probably.

“I want to help him!”

“Awesome! Connor needs to decompress and when you’ll finish, I’m sure your papa’d found something else for you.”

“You think?!” She took the magazine.

“I’m sure!”

Gavin sat down and turned toward his computer. He needed to work and needed to find something. Or remember where he put his daughter’s stuff… He definitely was the worst dad ever…

Connor came back, still wearing Gavin’s jacket, and smiled when Elizabeth ran toward him. He crouched to welcome her.

“Your daddy said you hadn’t presents yet for Christmas. He gave me magazine for us to search for you.”

“I can choose my presents?” Connor said, surprise.

“Well, you’ll choose late so, maybe Santa won’t have enough time and won’t take exactly what you want but if you help him to find the best present…” Hank started.

He could remember the time where Cole was searching his presents. How he wrote the letter for him because he couldn’t write well. The pictures stuck in a white paper… That’s certainly what Elizabeth should do. And what Connor will? He was taking the little girl as he got up and went to his desk.

“Take care of her, okay? You’ll do your job at night if needed. And Fowler won’t reproach it to you for one time?”

Connor was always working so hard. And it was the same for Felix. Well… this one even worked more since he didn’t care of someone else except when he helped his colleague.

“Okay, dad…” He smiled to the little girl.

“And… maybe, Gavin, you could come over for Christmas? We’ll warn Santa Claus.”

Ben Collins almost choked on his donuts. He knew Elizabeth liked Connor and Connor liked her but the little girl was really sweet and it wasn’t difficult to like her. It wasn’t surprising that someone sweet and kind like Connor bonded with her. But now? Now… Ben recognized really well the jacket Connor was wearing while Gavin has just a black t-shirt with long sleeve. Him who was always in his jacket, Summer like Winter… Dry like rainy…

He had given it to Connor.

He hated machines! Especially Android, because, in fact, he still was pretty fond of high-technology.

And now, Hank and Gavin who hated each other were… friendly? No way?

“Can you stop dying?” Gavin asked as Ben coughed the donuts. “Yeah, ok, Hank. Let’s do it.”

“Are you okay?” Connor asked as Elizabeth took the material for an awesome letter to Santa Claus.

“I’m… I’m okay. But worry for Hank. He’s…”

“Oh shut up you fat…”

“Gavin. Your daughter,” Connor said firmly.

“Yeah, sorry Eliza’… Won’t say the truth about Ben, don’t worry.”

“You’re a J-E-R-K, Gavin!”

“She can spell,” Reed said. “She’s smart.”

The youngie had her cheeks reddish. Connor hugged her.

“It’s true she’s so smart! And don’t take what Gavin said for you, please, Detective Collins…”

“Don’t worry, Connor. We’re used to him,” Chris Miller replied.

Fowler opened his glass door. As he did, everybody went back to his work. They all were working. Sometimes, one would got up to search a think, talk with someone and… well, when you didn’t have people doing crime, you haven’t things to do so it arrived they talk. And one word here or there was always a good thing. It was better to be friendly and not… like Gavin.

So they all went back to works to don’t suffer of Fowler bad mood or whatever that bring him there.

“Reed!”

“What?!” he said.

“You leave. Now! I don’t want to see you again!”

“I… I’m… fired?” he asked.

He couldn’t find his caustic. It was just what he foretold…

What? Why? How?
