Olivia, Fin, Carisi and the other blonde detective, Rollins you thought-- came bursting into the kitchen at the noise, only to find you and Rafael standing there like kids with their hands in a cookie jar.

“We uh-- we thought…” Carisi stammered.

“Sorry, we’ll leave ya’ll to it. We’re gonna take off,” Amanda waved goodbye, shoving the rest of them out the door.

“Right...have a nice evening!” you called after them in a cheery voice, but slapped your hands over your face as soon as they were gone.

“Christ...great, now they’ll be talking too,” you rolled your eyes.

“They’re not high school girls, they don’t gossip,” he scoffed.

“Uh huh...like we’re not high schoolers making out in the back room?”

“Two kisses hardly count as ‘making out’, carino,” He smiled, pushing a strand of hair behind your ear.

“Carino means…”

“Sweetie or honey, I know. Arianna speaks spanish. She calls you abogado,”

“...You know spanish? Then why did you look at me weird when I called you camarera?”

“She didn’t teach me, like a Rosetta Stone or something. She just says things randomly in spanish and tells me what they mean,” you explained, suddenly wondering how you got into this conversation.

“I see…”

“Okay this conversation has veered off into some weird little tangent,”

“I agree, enough talking,” Rafael grinned devilishly, wrapping his arms around you again.

“DOWN, counselor,” you pushed his arms back to his sides.

“You see this?” you gestured to the mess in front of you. “I gotta remake all of this before I can leave, and it takes FOREVER,”

“Well not if I help,”

“Yeah OKAY, a big fancy lawyer is gonna sit here and do prep work,” you rolled your eyes, grabbing the onions and tomatoes to slice. Rafael grabbed some knives on a nearby shelf and handed you one.

“I cook, you know,” he took an onion and started chopping.

“Do you? Then why are you in here all the time?” you raised an eyebrow while grabbing a tomato.

“It’s not fun cooking for one person,” he replied, not looking up from the board.

“You don’t live with anyone?” The question made Rafael stop chopping and look at you.

“If I had a significant other, do you really think I would be here kissing you? Even pursuing you?” He gave you a look.

“Pursuing me….” you gave him a tongued smile. “I like that,”

“Whatever…” he shook his head with a smile. “The answer is NO; I’m a thirty something something with a very nice job, I live alone,”

“Mmmmm I’m willing to bet you’re more of a forty something something, but I get it,” You smirked. “That must be nice, I’ve never lived alone,”

“It gets lonely,” he shrugged.

“Oh yeah I’m sure, in a big penthouse apartment and your many books of mahogany,”

“...Really?” he raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t know, I assume rich people have a lot of books, and I’m pretty sure mahogany is fancy…” You blushed, to which Rafael laughed. A real laugh; the crinkles of his eyes and his dimples as big as they were, you hadn’t seen him laugh like that up close before. It was intoxicating.

“...What? Did I get an onion on my face?” Rafael knocked you from your daze; shit were you staring at him?!

“Wha-- no, nothing. I’m just tired,” you played it off, waving your hands dismissively.

“Well I know you have the good stuff in here,” He walked away from the cutting board and over to your espresso machine, turning it on.

“Oh come on man, now I have to re-clean that!” You groaned.

“It’ll be worth it, I promise,” Rafael kissed your cheek as he made cappuccinos for the two of you.

---

About an hour had passed, and you two were finally done re-prepping all the prep work. Rafael had even helped you reclean the espresso machine. You did last minute checks and went outside, where Rafael followed. You locked the front doors and picked up your phone to look at it.

“SHIT, 1:45?! God, Ari must be freaking out,” you frantically looked through your history to make sure she hadn’t tried to call or text. She hadn’t.

“Well, good night counselor,” You nodded, starting to walk to the subway; Rafael grabbed your hand.

“Oh no no no, I’m not letting you walk home by yourself at 2 am in the middle of New York City,”

“It’s 1:45, and I’m a big girl. Trust me, I could knife a guy if I had to,” you protested.

“ ….‘knife a guy’,” he rolled his eyes with a chuckle.

“I could!

“Alright then humor me,” He pulled you around the corner where a town car was waiting.

“How did you--??”

“Uber never sleeps,” he opened the door for you and you slid in the backseat, Rafael slid in next to you.

“So do I just tell him my address or….?”

“I mean, unless you wanna go to mine,” he grinned devilishly again, that sparkle of arousal dancing in his eyes. It was very tempting.

“I….no I can’t, Ari will know,” you looked down, feeling stupid. It was as if Arianna was your mommy and you were out past curfew. Not like the two grown women equals you should be.

You gave the driver your address and he began driving. You felt Rafael put an arm around your shoulder, and for once you let yourself relax into him. You had literally never felt safer in your life, just being curled up next to him. So safe, so warm, so…

“...Y/N?”

Rafael’s voice awakened you from the nap you apparently had just taken in his arms.

“Oh...Oh my god! I’m so sorry, I must’ve fallen asleep,” You apologized, fixing his mussed dress shirt where you had been laying on it. There was even the tiniest bit of drool on it; god how embarrassing.

“You most certainly did, you were even snoring a bit,” He chuckled at the horrified look on your face. “What? It was cute,”

“God…” You leapt out of the car, trying to get your keys out as fast as you could to get away from this nightmare.

“Hey, wait up!” Rafael got out of the car and followed you to the door of your building.

“Okay, I made it home safe. You did your duty, counselor,” you saluted him, to which he took your “saluting” hand in his.

“That’s it? I spent hours chopping up things and cleaning, and all I get is ‘job well done’?”

“Well...what else do you want, a medal?” you teased him.

“How about…” He pulled you in for another kiss; and this time, you let him.

The kiss lasted for what seemed like forever. The chilly New York air blew against your cheap plastic jacket and you shivered. Rafael took his huge pea coat and wrapped it around the two of you while you kissed, making it that more romantic.

Even after you broke apart, your arms were wrapped around his waist inside the jacket, your head pressed against his chest as he kissed your forehead and just held you. You didn’t want to leave him there, you knew for sure you had never felt this safe. With anyone. Not even Arianna. GOD, Arianna. Now you really didn’t want to leave him because you knew you couldn’t see him again; not like this.

Rafael felt something warm against his chest, and he pulled you back a bit from him, only to see you were crying.

“Ay carino...don’t cry, what’s wrong?”

“This is it,” you sniffled. “This is where this ends, and I don’t want it to,”

Rafael sighed and put his hands on your shoulders, making you look at him. “Hey...this ends, when you say it ends. Not me, not Arianna, you,”

“Rafael I told you I--” You started, but he put a finger to your lips.

“I told you, I’m not scared of Arianna. I lo--care about you, a lot,” He bit his lip when he stumbled over his words. A micro expression trying to hide the words he really wanted to say-- but you knew that already.

Even though it made zero sense of course, how could two people possibly be in love after a few days. Not even. Maybe your bullshit about a ‘connection’ wasn’t bullshit….not that it mattered anyway because this was never going to work out. Arianna would never let it happen.

But for some bizarre reason, in that chilly doorway at 2 am, wrapped in Rafael’s coat-- you believed him. You believed that somehow, he was going to make this better. He was going to make it okay. And you were actually going to let him.

“...Okay,” you whispered.

“Okay? Really? Okay? Just like that? I thought I’d have to get on my knees and beg,”

“Do you want me to change my mind or do you wanna kiss me again?”

“Kiss please,” he smiled, pulling you even closer into his coat as he kissed you far deeper this time. He had to make this okay, he had to do something. He just had to. You never wanted to give this feeling up.

“Give me your phone,” you ordered him this time, and he obliged. You programmed your number and handed it back to him.

“There. Now I can’t ‘ghost’ you,”

“You can try, I’ll just blow up your phone with links of cute cat videos or something,” he grinned, kissing you one more time.

“Okay, seriously I gotta go upstairs. Arianna’s gonna wake up and see I’m not home,”

“...Until we meet again then,” he kissed your hand and gave you the biggest smile you had ever seen on a human being.

You walked inside your building and watched him until he got back into the town car and drove off into the night. Then you took the stairs up to your apartment, practically floating all the way there.

---

When you unlocked the front door to your apartment, you tried tiptoeing through your living room. However, as you reached the two doorways of your rooms, you noticed Arianna’s light was still on. You debated heavily whether or not to check on her, she was never up this late.

Maybe something had happened? Maybe she was worried about you?

You peeked open her door, only to see ALL of her stuff strewn about her room in boxes, while she was throwing clothes into a suitcase.

“Oh good! You’re home,” She pulled bras out of her top drawer.

“W-What is all this--” your eyes darted around the room.

“Did you have a nice time with the abogado?” her question made your blood freeze.

“What? Wha--Ari, I told you--” your voice quavered.

“Yeah I know what you told me, and I also know that look of yours,” she laughed and shook her head.

“What look?”

“The same look you had for Bobby DiMucci in 10th grade,” She smirked. “The ‘oh my god I wanna marry you and have all the babies’, look,” she batted her eyes.

“There’s...that’s not--” you scoffed with a laugh.

“But that’s cool! I hope you guys had a very nice time, you certainly seemed to have a very nice goodbye,” She gestured downstairs. FUCK you knew it, she would be watching.

“Y-You do…?”

“I do! Because we’re leaving,” Arianna grabbed more boxes out of her closet and tossed them at you.

“Wha--we’re-- NO, we’re not,” Your mind started running a million miles a minute, your body began to panic.

“YES, we are,” she stopped packing and walked up to you.

“Whether or not you and the ADA keep playing kissy face, he knows about us. And if he doesn’t take you down, he’s gonna take me down. And I can’t have that,” She explained as she continued packing.

“And I know you don’t wanna choose between us, so I’m choosing for you,” She circled the room, pulling stuff out from under her bed.

“We’re leaving, and you’re never gonna see him again,” She grabbed some of the boxes on her bed and tossed them towards you.

Your blood was boiling, your whole body was shaking. She controlled EVERYTHING in your life, down to what kind of soda you drank, or what TV show you watched. She wasn’t going to control this, she wasn’t going to take him away from you.

“I...Ari, NO,” you softly spoke.

“....Excuse me?”

“I’m not going with you,” you said louder, glaring at her.

“If--If you wanna run because you think that Rafael is gonna ‘take you down’, which he ISN’T,” “Then fine. I won’t tell him or anyone where you went. But I’m not going,”

“God….baby girl,” Arianna dropped the boxes and made a sad pouting face, as if she was feeling bad for you; But then she went for something behind her bed. All of a sudden she was pulling out a gun, and holding it on you.

“Don’t make me do this,”

“What the FUCK, Arianna? Why do you have a GUN?” You were freaking out, you didn’t know if you should run or throw something or shit your pants.

“Oh for Fuck’s sake Y/N we lived in a CAR, in NEW YORK CITY. Why wouldn’t I have a gun?!” she scoffed, moving closer to you.

“Okay but--but put it down, okay? Please?” You were now crying, basically begging for your life. How did you go from SO safe to now begging for your life?!

“I can’t do that, sweetie. Not until you agree to leave with me. Tonight,” She had tears in her own eyes, you knew she didn’t want to hurt you. She was scared. You knew she would never hurt you.

“....Please, Arianna. Please don’t do this…” You pleaded through tears, very slowly reaching for the gun.

“YOU’RE DOING IT! YOU are doing this to us!” she screamed, waving the gun in your face.

“I guess it is sort of my fault, I told you his name. I pushed you towards him. I just didn’t think he’d actually like you back,” she continued in a normal voice.

“Wow, just...wow,” you huffed.

“Not that you’re not wonderful, baby girl. Just...you know, not in his league,”

“See but you were wrong, Ari. He does like me. No no no, He LOVES me, and I love him,” You were getting bolder now, how dare she start shitting on you and Rafael. That’s all she had done from the start, was tear apart and tarnish what you had.

“Pffftttt, okay. After what, a few conversations and a few tongues down your throat? Gimme a friggin BREAK,” she scoffed, the gun still pointed at you.

“Fuck you, it’s real.” You spat, unable to take the bullshit from her anymore. Arianna stared at you in shock; you had NEVER spoken to her like that.

“And-And And if you DON’T want him coming after us, then this is the stupidest move you could make. Because he’ll fight for me Arianna, he’ll fight for me and he will WIN,” Tears still in your voice, but anger powered over them.

“God, look at you! Look at what he’s DONE to you. To us. It’s always been US, Y/N. Me and you, Bert and Ernie! Thelma And Louise! Bonnie And Clyde!” She gestured between the two of you wildly.

“NO, it’s been you using me,” you scoffed.

“Is that what he said?” She turned the gun sideways.

“It’s the truth!” you argued.

“NO IT’S NOT, and once we get out of here, you’ll forget about him. I promise, and then we can be happy again. Okay?” She had a psychotic smile, pulling you in for a hug, the gun pressed against your back. You had to get out of here.

“...Okay, Ari,” you finally gave in, throwing your hands up in defeat. You looked up at her with the saddest eyes you could muster, trying to convince her she had you beaten down once again. She hugged you again, and let you go. But she held tight to the gun.

“I’ll go pack,” you grabbed some boxes and took them into your room. As soon as you heard Arianna resume packing, you ducked beside your bed and dialed Rafael’s number.

“Please pick up, please please please….”

Diary Entry List

Whoooooo boy I haven’t updated this since this original post, so to keep things simple I’m just going to plop 4 entries (2-5) into this post after the cut. Middle of the night post, but eh, figure there’s not a large audience for my D&D writing anyway~ Sooo yeah! Cut!

Entry #1 is here

Entry #2: Soap and Snakes

Geeze, so much has happened I'm already forgetting stuff! Okay, so back to the banquette real quick, because a few more things happened that I totally forgot about somehow! First, there was a representative from Delzimmer there, but they wouldn't help me get a payment sent over to you. They refused to deal with the Barons at all. Not that I can blame them, but it's just like some cushy family in Delzimmer to be as helpful as a bucket of vom. The Soverin... Soveren... Sovereign’s daughter did some kind of magic prophecy reading thing and long story short: something about three shadows of different colors all about horrible things happening... Essmer knows more about it than me. Didn't sound pleasant though. She passed out afterwards too. Sounds bad but I've got enough to worry about at the moment than some spooky divination or whatever. I guess that's the reason I've got this job though so I guess I'm glad she's seeing whatever it is!

It wasn't all doom and gloom though! After the Sovereign and most everyone left the hall Essman and Niles started playing music and Sir Veil asked me to dance! I mean, I have NO idea how to dance in a ballroom, fancy dress, and shoes, but I guess Veil doesn't either so it wasn't TOO embarrassing! Essmer got in with the dancing too after a bit with some dwarf lady who's dad didn't seem too keen on her being around such an old drunk human. It was quite an evening!

The next day we get prepped to head out north into the wilderness towards some old church. The Sovereign's son was our contact to help us. He's... much more what I'd expect from “nobility”. Stuck up, unpleasant, untrusting, and rude. We were able to get some nice horses, a cart, and some basic supplies but he wouldn't so much as help us get medical supplies, saying I am supposed to be able to take care of everyone! I'd be flattered if he actually thought that highly of me, but I'm sure he was just using me as an excuse to be a cheapass. Only towards us lowly commoners of course – didn't see him complaining about the absurd amount of food at the banquet! He's not the only problem though. I swear that Niles is going to be a pain. He had to run out and buy bars upon bars of soap before he'd gallop off into the wilderness! We're not traveling for relaxation! Gods forbid he feel a bit sweaty or dirty! He didn't get any better when he lost his horse- OH! Yeah, okay so how Niles lost his horse!

We were trying to pass a big o' river in our way and Lucan found a nice shallower safe place to cross so we got all ready to go. Lucan led the way across to a sand bar with me, Veil, and Essmer in the cart behind him, with Niles picking up the rear, likely because he was too busy preening himself to keep up. Anyway, the cart just got to the sand bar when I turned around just... saw Niles's hat as he plopped into the river as a MASSIVE snake back arched over him! (I swear Sir Veil heard him and just kept the cart moving until I yelled out about it). So yeah, this HUGE snake, with a mouth the size of Veil's body had a hold of Niles's horse! I hit it with some magic and it was, just, wow, largest living thing I'd ever seen! It nearly killed Sir Veil too! Tried to gobble him up and drag him away! But Sir Veil managed to kill it and claw his way out! I was actually worried for a moment but Sir Veil really can hold his own against monsters. Niles might be worthless and Essmer a drunk but with Lucan leading the way and Sir Veil to fight off anything that comes our way I think we really do have a chance out here!

He and Lucan managed to pull it's giant mass over to the far bank of the river and Lucan and I helped Lucan cut it up and dried out as much of it as we could! It's at least a week or more's worth for all five of us! Maybe if this doesn't pan out we can turn to hunting river snakes or something. Niles's horse didn't make it though, and he was super moody the whole rest of the way to the church. Guess that soap can't wash away his screw ups~! We're at the old church now – some old orc lady seems to be in charge here. Guess we'll be helping out around here for the moment. More on that after it happens I suppose!

Love ya!

Entry #3: Sheep Eaters

It'll be hard to sleep after tonight so I guess I may as well stay up and write a bit. Um. I guess I'll start with the reason for that and then end on a happier note. Maybe that'll help. But anyway, short version is we left the church outpost to look for a roaming shepherd who had complained about his animals being killed in the night – stripped down to the bone without a sound. Well, we found him and stayed up all night to watch his sheep and GUESS WHAT, WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. Giant. Bugs. Centipede or Millipede or something. Horrible things! Borrowing up from the ground! They came up everywhere! Their bite had some sort of paralyzing venom in it! You couldn't feel a thing! That's why the sheep never made a noise as they got eaten alive! Same thing nearly happened to Niles and Lucan too! And me! Thankfully Sir Veil was behind me and saw the one that had crawled up my back! Lucan got bit pretty bad but Sir Veil and I were around to help him. Niles though, he nearly didn't live through it! Thankfully I had just enough energy left to blast the last one off him before it could finish him off. Didn't have anything left to actually heal him up afterwards, but better than dead. Essmer got bit up too but not enough to take him down, thankfully.

That was terrifying. I don't really feel like sleeping anymore.

But on to the less horrible bits... not exactly pleasant ones but are less likely to give me nightmares. I went out scouting alone with Lucan for a day. First time I had been separated from Sir Veil in a while. Was kind of nice to remember I can still survive just fine without him watching out for me all the time. I screwed up bad though! I got excited since Lucan is also elf blooded so I asked him about his parents and... well... they're dead. The whole rest of the day was awkward after that. I'm such an idiot! And we didn't find what we were looking for, but we did find the tracks for that shepherd we followed later. The only other major thing I can think of to talk about is the big cat the store owner at the church had! Not sure what it was really but it was huge! Seemed to be fond of Sir Veil. He really is just a large weird kitty man! Growled like a demon when the rest of us went near it though! Niles tried to use some kind of magic on it and the shopkeep nearly slit his throat for it! She and Sir Veil insisted I try to pet the cat too... thought it was going to rip my face clean off... apparently it's just some game the shopkeeper lady taught it to do! I thought I was going to die! That's not a funny joke to play on someone!

Okay no thinking about that did not make sleeping any more appealing, really... I think the rest of them are looking to take on a group of bandits that have been harassing the church lately next. Not sure how many of them there are and I'm worried we're going to get in over our heads but I guess I'd rather fight some thugs than those bugs again. And now I'm thinking about the bugs again. Great. This hasn't helped at all. I'm done for tonight...

Entry #4: -

I'm not sure I want to write down how I feel about the last few days... But I want to keep this up to date so I'll at least talk about part of it. The shortest version is, I was very, very wrong before. Those bugs were not worse than fighting bandits. I mean, they honestly were probably a bigger threat but... watching bugs get smashed isn't nearly the same as it happening to people...

We found the trail of the bandits easily enough thanks to Lucan but he noticed the fresher set of tracks was headed back down south towards the church. Naturally we couldn't let the church go undefended so we took off after them and caught up to them earlier than we expected. They ambushed us in the tall grass with a few dogs and five or so men but they didn't put up too much of a fight. I focused on keeping people alive while the rest made pretty short work of them until their boss (some fatter man) came into view with a larger crossbow and fired a bolt straight into my shoulder. That, of course, got Veil rather upset but before he could do anything I went to fire a blast of radiant energy back at the man! It... behaved strangely. The glowing light slowed, dimmed, and burst into blackness! I tried to wander out of it but I couldn't find the end of it! I was beginning to think I had actually blinded myself when Essmer managed to dispell it with his glowing magical rock thing he made! By then the rest of the fight was over... I'm not terribly sure what happened but Essmer went off into the grass towards the rest of the noise and next I knew they were dragging the body of the bandit leader with them, now with most of his head caved in and a gaping wound in his chest.

We opted to head back north rather than return to the church for the night. Not a great idea, turns out, as rhinos of all things showed up and stomped out our camp fire and wrecked a bunch of our stuff. Especially Niles' tent. Thankfully they left without any major damage. The next day's travel we could see this gigantic tree off in the distance for the longest time. Before we slept, Veil and Lucan ran ahead to check out the tree, since that was an obvious place for a bandit camp. They didn't return until nearly the end of my shift on watch well into the night, exhausted and bleeding – the tree was a massive illusion that covered not just the tree but the area around it! Where the tree itself was stood a large watchtower and around it was a few cabins. Veil had broken the illusion when he got up to touch the tree and got shot with an arrow for his efforts. The two fled and ran in circles the rest of the night to throw any pursuers off their trail. When they got back they quickly passed out from exhaustion.

The next morning we went to attack as a group. Lucan snuck in first but was spotted and rushed out only for the rest of us to rush in. Niles, surprisingly, led the charge, ignoring the forward guards and their dogs and went straight for the tower! As for the rest of it, I'd honestly not like to write about. It was... barbaric. We all came out of it fine enough but... I don't know... it wasn't what I expected...

Entry #5: Sanguacon

It’s been some time since my last entry. The battle isn’t quite as distant a memory as I wish it was, but the fear has died down a bit at least. We found plenty of supplies in the camp so it was decided two of us should head back to the church to let them know and return with horses while the others stayed back to watch the camp for other bandits. Sir Vale suggested we be the two to go… I wasn’t really feeling up to it, after everything, but I didn’t have it in me to argue so, away we went. There and back was a full week of travel, so it was a lot of time together. It was pretty awkward at first but… one night, the “Sanguacon” found us. The thing the sheep herder thought was attacking his flock originally. It was supposed to be a legend.

Snuck right up on me while I was on watch and got a good bite on my shoulder before I even knew what was happening - spun around to see this massive… THING! It was taller than Sir Vale, super bulky, with stumpy little arms and legs. Like some freakish fat bunch of flesh just globbed together and became some horrible freak! It definitely drank my blood too, and I felt weak after it. Thankfully my scream woke up Sir Vale and he rushed over to fight it bare handed. It got a good bite on him but Sir Vale, for some reason, bit him back. Tasted like death, apparently. I lit up its back with my magic which it really, REALLY didn’t like but instead of fighting us further it plopped away before poofing into mist. Nothing left. No trial, no body, nothing. It was pretty crazy scary to be sure. Where it bit us the wounds don’t seem to be properly healing over even with magic. You can still see where it got us. But as scary as it was, seeing Vale fight it… it’s hard to imagine much being scarier than the thought of being on the other end of his rage… I think I’m starting to understand something though. We’ll see if it pans out later I guess.

Aside from that run in with a myth the trip was otherwise pretty dull. The people at the church were amazingly happy to hear the bandits were dead though! They had a super huge drinking party to celebrate. Pretty sure they all felt that in the morning…Trip back was a little more lively, since we had two ladies from the church with us and didn’t run into any trouble. Apparently the camp had been just as dull - after the week of traveling we did, Esmer, Niles, and Lucan looked bored out of their minds when we got there. As it turns out we couldn’t fit everything onto one wagon and though we had two the others had found other trails away from the bandit camp so we decided to try to follow those and leave one of the carts there.

And that’s where we’ve been for days. Just… out… on a path in the middle of all this grass. It goes on forever in every direction. We came to a fork in the path. Chose to go straight north as we had been instead of northwest. Got attacked by a flock of huge crazy birds because THIS PLACE IS JUST THE WORST and all the animals here want us dead. And just after that we came to another fork… this one continuing north and the other going southwest… so they’ve decided we should abandon our current path and see where the two side ones meet up.

I can’t help but think, if Vale had just listened - if he hadn’t murdered that last bandit - we might already know where we were going. We may have been able to prepare. We could have set out instead of heading back to the church. Could have saved nearly two weeks of wandering around in this sea of grass.

I’m starting to miss the muddy dumps of Delzimmer somehow… And I miss you too, Dad. Hopefully I can make it through this in one piece and work up enough gold to get you out again.

Until then!

Ah okay, thanks, it must be my wifi

thenightetc2Today at 9:29 PM

Same, I guess

highglossfinishToday at 9:29 PM

I just tweaked something that should fix it if it's on my end.

thenightetc2Today at 9:29 PM

Seems good now!

highglossfinishToday at 9:29 PM

Wonderful!

SharpwingToday at 9:29 PM

The left audio is definitely on my end then, thanks

highglossfinishToday at 9:30 PM

None stream with left audio.

thenightetc2Today at 9:30 PM

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:30 PM

[

9:30 PM

]

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:31 PM

I've been listening to the Cats musical

[

9:31 PM

]

The movie is terrible and it has ONE good song and that's Skimbleshanks

SharpwingToday at 9:32 PM

also what do you mean the movie we'll be watching isn't nice, Knockout? I thought it was an animated feature about a boy that turns into a cat and a rooster that's an Elvis impersonator

[

9:32 PM

]

EXCUSE YOU MEMORY IS WONDERFUL

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:32 PM

I watch the original musical and weep for what couldve been

MimicToday at 9:32 PM

hello all

highglossfinishToday at 9:32 PM

It's exactly that.

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:32 PM

Maybe the recording

@Mimichello all

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:32 PM

lol

blythe1Today at 9:33 PM

Is it a red carpet interview?

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:33 PM

Yes

MimicToday at 9:34 PM

also Skimbleshanks slaps, to quote Sideways. only cover in that movie that well and truly slaps.

SharpwingToday at 9:34 PM

i do enjoy the live action purely for the fact that it was my first introduction to Cats and it's Beautifully Bizarre if you can get past the uncanny valley but i agree that Skimbleshanks slaps

@Mimicalso Skimbleshanks slaps, to quote Sideways. only cover in that movie that well and truly slaps.

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:34 PM

I LOVE SIDEWAYS I WATCHED HIS WHOLE VIDEO

MimicToday at 9:34 PM

SAME

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:34 PM

I feel so bad for the orchestra you can hear them weeping

blythe1Today at 9:34 PM

Ah, good, I have never used this service before, so I'm looking forward to all sorts of goof ups as I learn which button I should not have pressed.

Zephra85Today at 9:34 PM

Oh here we go here I am

MimicToday at 9:35 PM

oh god the orchestra suffered so very much forthat movie.,

@blythe1Ah, good, I have never used this service before, so I'm looking forward to all sorts of goof ups as I learn which button I should not have pressed.

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:35 PM

Discord is rlly fun once you know how to use it

Zephra85Today at 9:35 PM

Let's try this again HELLO ALL

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:35 PM

Hewwo

MimicToday at 9:36 PM

HELLO

highglossfinishToday at 9:36 PM

Zephra human, hello!

Zephra85Today at 9:36 PM

I was typing in the wrong chat at first lol

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:36 PM

Lets suffer together lmao

Zephra85Today at 9:36 PM

Jokes on all of you I love this movie

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:36 PM

Zephra85Today at 9:36 PM

which is what makes it extra painful I can't stay, I have too much to do tonight T-T

SharpwingToday at 9:36 PM

SAME

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:36 PM

I've never watched it

SharpwingToday at 9:36 PM

nooooooooooo

thenightetc2Today at 9:37 PM

Oof, the audio's doing that thing again

blythe1Today at 9:37 PM

As soon as I learn how to use a service, it generally crashes and burns, or goes out of business. If Discord is fun, then I really shouldn't learn too much about it in case I kill it.

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:37 PM

oof

[

9:37 PM

]

btw my audio is fine I'm in America

MimicToday at 9:37 PM

I mean, if anyone's running a discord deadpool you could make some bank

thenightetc2Today at 9:37 PM

...don bluth

[

9:38 PM

]

ohhhhhhhhh.

MimicToday at 9:38 PM

rock-a-doodle

Zephra85Today at 9:38 PM

I love don bluth so much I hate that most of his movies bombed he's amazing

blythe1Today at 9:39 PM

It looked like and asteroid strike there for a minute, thought that this was gonna be ableak movie about talking cocks.

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:39 PM

[

9:39 PM

]

btw ya'll I got new emotes I can use

SharpwingToday at 9:40 PM

i i love the shoes bit i had completely forgotten it

MimicToday at 9:40 PM

those chickens are designed so very differently from the bird with the mammal curves later.

blythe1Today at 9:40 PM

It has been so long since I dropped in for one of these things. I missed this.

highglossfinishToday at 9:40 PM

Don Bluth movies and their rapidly dwindling list of cast members who are still alive.

Zephra85Today at 9:40 PM

Wehhh don't remind me T^T

thenightetc2Today at 9:41 PM

The grand duke of owls

Zephra85Today at 9:41 PM

Sorry guys I love this movie and I wish I could stay but I can't

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:41 PM

Bye bye!

thenightetc2Today at 9:41 PM

He can't crow now?

SharpwingToday at 9:41 PM

thenightetc2Today at 9:41 PM

...ohhhh

Zephra85Today at 9:41 PM

Goodnight!

highglossfinishToday at 9:42 PM

Anytime!

[

9:42 PM

Good night!

blythe1Today at 9:42 PM

It is always hard for an over achiever to learn they are not as critical to the success of the operation as they thought

thenightetc2Today at 9:42 PM

blythe1Today at 9:42 PM

Bye Zephra

MimicToday at 9:42 PM

good night!

[

9:42 PM

]

and ikr

highglossfinishToday at 9:42 PM

Like most owls.

SharpwingToday at 9:42 PM

also. i wish i were capable of hugging you, knock out

blythe1Today at 9:42 PM

Wait, did they just Princess Bride us?

SharpwingToday at 9:42 PM

--wait IS THIS WHY YOU DONT LIKE OWLS

MimicToday at 9:42 PM

yup

[

9:42 PM

]

except sorta nested

thenightetc2Today at 9:43 PM

Oh, there's a little notice on mine that says it has reduced quality, which "may be due to network conditions"

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:43 PM

ah damn I'm good on my end

thenightetc2Today at 9:43 PM

Yes, poor Edmund

blythe1Today at 9:44 PM

Oh noes, you have to stay warm and dry in bed and not slog through the rain. How awful.

thenightetc2Today at 9:44 PM

Someone call CPS

[

9:44 PM

]

.......

blythe1Today at 9:45 PM

I do miss those big rubber hats though, when did they go out of fashion and can we not bring them back

thenightetc2Today at 9:45 PM

Whoooooo indeed

MimicToday at 9:45 PM

I'm sorry, I'm laughing, this is a narrative ouroboros

highglossfinishToday at 9:46 PM

Rrrrock and rrrroll.

MimicToday at 9:46 PM

and Plumber is chewing that scenery

blythe1Today at 9:47 PM

The adventure called "concussion" and "traumatic brain injury".

highglossfinishToday at 9:47 PM

Chewing it to a masticated pulp.

SharpwingToday at 9:47 PM

oh no i have to go to supper again... i'll be back!

thenightetc2Today at 9:47 PM

See you!

SharpwingToday at 9:47 PM

....don't you have to have teeth to masticate something or do i have my latin roots mixed up

blythe1Today at 9:47 PM

bye sharpwing

SharpwingToday at 9:47 PM

bye for now!

thenightetc2Today at 9:48 PM

He could get some velcro shoes

MimicToday at 9:48 PM

... IJUST REALIZED. ITHINK THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER RECEIVED AS A POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE GAME

blythe1Today at 9:48 PM

I'm not entirely convinced that is a male kitten either.

thenightetc2Today at 9:49 PM

I thought I saw a pink bow in the hair there

[

9:49 PM

]

Which is certainly cartoonspeak for "girl"

highglossfinishToday at 9:51 PM

It'd be an interesting twist if they found him and he told them to get scrapped.

thenightetc2Today at 9:51 PM

Heh.

blythe1Today at 9:51 PM

True

thenightetc2Today at 9:52 PM

So he's, uh

[

9:52 PM

]

a duke in a political sense? it's not just a nickname?

[

9:52 PM

]

Why are the others naked

[

9:53 PM

]

Are they his harem

blythe1Today at 9:53 PM

Highest member of the ordinary nobility, unless he is a Royal Duke, which is a different thing.

@thenightetc2Are they his harem

highglossfinishToday at 9:54 PM

Absolutely.

[

9:54 PM

]

The only enjoyable thing in this movie is the owls. Do you know how much it pains me to admit that?

MimicToday at 9:54 PM

does one normally form harems for the purposes of impromptu musical sequences

highglossfinishToday at 9:54 PM

What other purpose matters?

MimicToday at 9:54 PM

fair enough

thenightetc2Today at 9:55 PM

impromptu NAKED musical sequences

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:55 PM

High kicks encouraged

blythe1Today at 9:56 PM

Without its own aircover, that boat should be completely overwhelmed by an air attack.

thenightetc2Today at 9:56 PM

You know what, just let him out

blythe1Today at 9:57 PM

And so they all drowned, short movie.

thenightetc2Today at 9:57 PM

And it's miraculously empty of water now!

highglossfinishToday at 9:58 PM

20 minutes of movie, 40 minutes of the Duke deflowering his owl harem.

blythe1Today at 9:58 PM

I've watched worse movies.

TheAlienTazerToday at 9:59 PM

Like the Cats live action movie

blythe1Today at 9:59 PM

I've not seen the Cats movie yet, I'm waiting for them to release the butthole cut.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:01 PM

Dear lord its bad There's a channel called Sideways that made a great video about it

blythe1Today at 10:01 PM

Just buy slip ons, dude.

thenightetc2Today at 10:01 PM

Or velcro.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:02 PM

that knife is the size of his whole damn bod

thenightetc2Today at 10:03 PM

That sure is a character design

highglossfinishToday at 10:04 PM

This movie is allergic to maintaining tension.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:04 PM

True

blythe1Today at 10:05 PM

I think they may be being to subtle with the Elvis metaphor, they need to lean into it harder.

thenightetc2Today at 10:05 PM

Gosh, are you SURE he's supposed to be Elvis?

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:06 PM

Have him die on the toilet

blythe1Today at 10:06 PM

Uh-huh-huh

MimicToday at 10:06 PM

question, what the hell is the slimeball boss

thenightetc2Today at 10:06 PM

Yes, yes, but those people don't think he literally causes the sun to rise, so who cares about their so-called "love"

@TheAlienTazerHave him die on the toilet

highglossfinishToday at 10:06 PM

Bloated and full of painkillers.

@highglossfinishBloated and full of painkillers.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:07 PM

EEYUP

highglossfinishToday at 10:07 PM

End of short movie.

MimicToday at 10:07 PM

I mean, as is entirely expected.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:08 PM

Oh I love the owls!

MimicToday at 10:08 PM

damn, Plumber had so much fun singing that little bit of nonsense

thenightetc2Today at 10:08 PM

...So, given that there don't seem to be any humans in this movie

[

10:08 PM

]

What, uh....

highglossfinishToday at 10:08 PM

I love the Duke.

thenightetc2Today at 10:08 PM

What's up with the... farm.

MimicToday at 10:09 PM

free love commune?

[

10:10 PM

]

cult compound around the sun-raising chicken?

thenightetc2Today at 10:10 PM

Mmmmaybe?

MimicToday at 10:11 PM

"We just want you to sound exactly like Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. no deviation at all."

[

10:11 PM

]

why. why the light up starfish dancer outfits for mice

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:11 PM

brb ya'll I need to take a few minutes to nurse this headache I got brewin

thenightetc2Today at 10:12 PM

Underwater theme

highglossfinishToday at 10:12 PM

The owls and farm are competing free love communes.

blythe1Today at 10:12 PM

Aw, I was hoping that paper dart would wedge in his quiff.

@highglossfinishThe owls and farm are competing free love communes.

"Oh no. they sent in a bird with a chest. we're doomed."

blythe1Today at 10:14 PM

This is dreadful, he has a rewarding career and a steady girlfriend. How dreadful, of course he should go back to thanklessly working on a farm somewhere.

thenightetc2Today at 10:14 PM

How awful of him.

MimicToday at 10:14 PM

working?

highglossfinishToday at 10:15 PM

How dare he be happy and loved for something other than his ability to crow?

[

10:16 PM

]

Back to dirt farming poverty with ungrateful """friends""" for you.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:17 PM

I'm back!

blythe1Today at 10:17 PM

welcome back

highglossfinishToday at 10:17 PM

Welcome back!

MimicToday at 10:17 PM

wait. why does he specifically have to give up his awesome life and go back home to the farm to do the crowing thing(edited)

thenightetc2Today at 10:18 PM

I mean... the sun rises EVERYWHERE, yes?

SharpwingToday at 10:19 PM

IM HERE TOO HI WHAT DID I MISS

blythe1Today at 10:19 PM

I feel like teaching everyone basic meteorology would solve a lot of this movie's central conflict.

thenightetc2Today at 10:19 PM

You missed sexy bird.

SharpwingToday at 10:20 PM

thenightetc2Today at 10:20 PM

SharpwingToday at 10:20 PM

....is that the sheriff from Robin Hood

highglossfinishToday at 10:20 PM

They meddled with that, he was supposed to slap her.

blythe1Today at 10:21 PM

Technically that is extortion, not blackmail.

highglossfinishToday at 10:22 PM

Rapid switch from "Don't talk to me" to "Hang on, honey."

thenightetc2Today at 10:22 PM

ikr?

SharpwingToday at 10:22 PM

ah, the elation of Having A Plan

[

10:22 PM

]

as....nebulous as that one is

thenightetc2Today at 10:22 PM

Good job, guys!

[

10:23 PM

]

You found him!

highglossfinishToday at 10:23 PM

Don't treat him for that head trauma, just put him somewhere.

blythe1Today at 10:23 PM

They ought to have called this Concussion: The Movie.

thenightetc2Today at 10:24 PM

He can crow with a concussion, it's fine

highglossfinishToday at 10:24 PM

They take his severely concussed form back to the farm, prop him up, and get him to crow by sticking pins in him every morning.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:24 PM

Reminds me of weekend at bernie's

blythe1Today at 10:24 PM

Nah, a singer needs to be conscious. That is drummers you are thinking of.

thenightetc2Today at 10:25 PM

What kind of animal is the sleazy boss, anyway?

highglossfinishToday at 10:25 PM

A fox.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:25 PM

I think a fox huh?

thenightetc2Today at 10:25 PM

...Oh.

blythe1Today at 10:25 PM

Okay, it is near half three in the am here. I really must go and get a couple of hours sleep. It has been nice dropping in again and seeing you all. Take care, all.

SharpwingToday at 10:26 PM

i thought he was a wolf?

[

oh! gnight then!

Just flinging his unconscious body around, no thought to his spine.

thenightetc2Today at 10:27 PM

So if... losing a shoe is symbolic of losing virginity...........

SharpwingToday at 10:27 PM

THOMAS O'MALLEY THAT'S HOW I KNOW THAT VOICE

thenightetc2Today at 10:27 PM

Did, um

[

10:27 PM

]

Was that

[

10:27 PM

]

When her shoes knocked those guys off the ladder...

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:28 PM

huh

highglossfinishToday at 10:29 PM

"He's bleeding from the mouth."

SharpwingToday at 10:29 PM

he's definitely not supposed to be singing

highglossfinishToday at 10:30 PM

"Crow for our highly conditional love!"

SharpwingToday at 10:31 PM

in fairness, it's hard to love if you're dead from critical vitamin d deficiency

[

10:31 PM

]

i do agree with your point though

thenightetc2Today at 10:31 PM

More concussions!

highglossfinishToday at 10:31 PM

They've done nothing since he got back but yell at him.

SharpwingToday at 10:32 PM

i would have some Objections if i were in hi shoes

[

10:32 PM

why is one of them saying his name wrong

highglossfinishToday at 10:32 PM

They don't care enough about him to pronounce it correctly.

SharpwingToday at 10:33 PM

THAT IS ONE BIG OWL

statement rescinded and reversed.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:35 PM

lmao

"sorry dude I guess you're a cat now"

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:36 PM

"You've been in a coma for six months."

highglossfinishToday at 10:36 PM

"Except for one thing. Edmund was still here."

SharpwingToday at 10:37 PM

wait what

highglossfinishToday at 10:38 PM

Of course they had hybrid chicks.

thenightetc2Today at 10:38 PM

...huh

SharpwingToday at 10:38 PM

...okay, this movie is significantly more... batshit. than i remember.

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:38 PM

that's an understatement I believe

thenightetc2Today at 10:39 PM

And of course she doesn't mind giving up her dreams and moving to a farm

[

10:39 PM

]

as livestock

highglossfinishToday at 10:39 PM

And wearing jorts.

SharpwingToday at 10:39 PM

i completely missed the jorts and i am grateful

TheAlienTazerToday at 10:39 PM

makes me wanna watch the secret of nimh

Not at all

They cut part of this out.

Presumably because it was interesting.

it certainly does sound like it
