Mission: Acquire Massiff Pup

Jesse, staring at the address that Rex provided for them (given to him by Fox): I am starting to have doubts about this place's legitimacy... Fives, watching the floors go by as they descend further and further into the depths of Coruscant: What gave it away? Our descent into literal urban hell, or the fact the captain had to sign several legally binding documents to keep this all hush hush? Jesse: Urgh, never mind. Our stop is coming up anyway. Jesse & Fives, hesitate in the lift when it stops at perhaps the most dubious of the Coruscanti under-levels: Fives, glancing around nervously before motioning for Jesse to hurry up behind him as he begins to follow the instructions he has scrolled on a grease stained piece of flimsy: It's not like we're doing anything super illegal. Just uh, getting a massiff pup from a cage left for us at some really shady alley. Jesse: Yeah... Yeah we're uh, we're just following orders. Yeah. For uh, very legitimate and beneficial medical reasons. Yep. Fives, starting to feel antsy because he's sensing all eyes on them: It's not like uh, the Marshal Commander of the Guard would put us in harm's way right? Jesse: Nah, man's a stiff. He uh, he doesn't break the regs... Ah... Fives, seeing the alleyway they have to go into: Almost there! I think I see the cage too. Jesse, squinting into the dark: ... I see two cages. Fives: Maybe someone else also needs a massiff pup. Doesn't matter! Lets grab one and leave! Jesse, moves to the closest cage which is housing what appears to be green massiff pup with piercing red eyes: Package secured. Let's get out of here! Fives, practically running: Roger that! This place is karking creepy! Jesse & Fives, making their way back into the lift completely unaware of the fact they just took a dangerous wild animal with them instead of a harmless massiff pup:

Ok but hear me out, Omnitrix aliens in Akira-esque themed jackets This came about cause my discord pfp was mistaken for the Akira logo LKHDGGFHJHD (Also, I spent way too long trying to think of a slogan that was similar to Kaneda's but fit Ben 10's theming and gave up, so now you're stuck with this)

Me after Ep. 6: Damn...no offense to Mutt but I always thought HE would be the one to turn into a were-beast, with the irony being he's a monster hunter that turned into a monster...

Me during Ep. 9: I FUCKIN KNEW IT

[frozenhaart]

Never, ever tell people your favorite names on your dog name list or the next thing you know somebody you told a name you really liked to will get a new dog and name it that.

Jurassic Jumble Reboot Recap

((I delayed on this long enough. Here's a general concept of how the plotline of "Jurassic Jumble" would go in the DT17 universe with my Honker, featuring my takes on the characters Stegmutt and Dr. Fossil as well as the reboot versions of Darkwing and Gosalyn/Quiverwing, who I will be writing out the parts of myself.))

There's been a rash of computer components stolen across multiple parts of Saint Canard, with witnesses from every crime scene claiming to have been distracted by the sight of a giant figure stomping around just out of sight in the shadows, slipping away just before anyone can get on the scene and get a good enough look at it to see what it is. Those distractions had apparently been enough for an unseen party to slip in and grab the goods and then hightail it by the time anyone was looking again.

Honker working with WANDA manages to build up a solid hypothesis of what the unknown burglar may be attempting to build with the stolen parts and where they may strike next. Team Darkwing have a stakeout to catch the criminal(s) in the act. When something causes a ruckus outside, DW and LP go to confront the source while the kids stay behind to guard the module predicted to be the target.

While the adults end up confronting what they get just a good enough look at to identify as seemingly a bipedal stegosaurus before it runs off and loses them, someone unseen knocks out the kids with sleeping gas and has already made off with the module piece by the time they wake up. Darkwing, however, had planted a tracer on the module just in case. Honker, back at base, runs a GPS scan for the tracer and is shocked that it pings underground at the coordinates of the St. Canard Natural History Museum.

The team infiltrates the museum after hours, eventually finding the secret passage to an underground base and split up for clues. Gos and Honk end up finding a collection of artifacts, including one in the forefront held in a clear biohazard-marked container: a glowing blue piece of rock. Gosalyn immediately recognizes it as the missing piece of the Stone of What Was, one of numerous artifacts from FOWL's Library of Alexandria base that SHUSH failed to locate during the post-battle raid.

The two are caught by a large, talking bipetal stegosaurus. But as soon as he starts talking--both due to the familiar voice and the stegosaurus seemingly recognizing Honker and becoming awkward at seeing him there under these circumstances--Honker realizes that the anthropomorphic dinosaur is the museum custodian Mutt, whom he'd met a few months back during a visit with an elf friend from Duckburg. Upon being identified, Mutt claims that he goes by Stegmutt now, vaguely gesturing to his current form as the reason why.

A pterodactyl in a snug-fitting lab coat and relatively small square glasses appears behind Stegmutt, harshly chastising him for not locking away the intruders on the spot. Stegmutt, crumbling to the other dinosaur's authority, very reluctantly pushes the kids into a holding cell (virtually identical to the ones FOWL used in the Library of Alexandria) and locks them in with an apologetic look. Honker also recognizes the pterodactyl, as he was once the elderly chicken scientist named Dr. Barnabas Klykos, who corrects him by saying the Klykos is no more and identifying himself in dramatic fashion as Doctor Fossil. Both he and Stegmutt had apparently come in contact with the Stone Fragment of What Was while holding a piece of fossil; the latter accidentally and the former on purpose after seeing the effects.

Dr. Fossil proceeds to go into a big rant about how the scientific community scoffed at his dream of bringing humanity back to its prehistoric roots, yet he had everything he could've needed to make his vision a reality except a form of genetic bonding agent (The Stone Fragment of What Was, which he recently acquired on the black market from a former FOWL Egghead) and the proper relay antenna to broadcast the signal far and wide (just built from all the stolen parts). Just as he's boasting there's no one to stop him at this stage of his plan, cue the purple smoke bomb and an "I am the terror..." speech.

While the adults confront Dr. Fossil, Honker sympathetically reaches out Stegmutt, who he recognizes deep down doesn't really want any part in this. Stegmutt, however, feels he has no say in the matter, as Dr. Fossil seems to have convinced him he'll have nothing left outside of servitude to him, especially considering what he's now become. Honker, with Gosalyn quickly joining in, try to encourage him to find a better life for himself with people who respect him and his feelings, something that surprises and touches Stegmutt.

Dr. Fossil, however, quickly barks at him to come handle Darkwing and Launchpad, and Stegmutt quickly folds to his authority again. As he leaves to do that, Stegmutt looks back at the kids and assures them that, while Dr. Fossil maybe has been acting nuttier than usual lately, nobody's gonna get hurt too badly from this; people are just gonna become cool new prehistoric versions of themselves. But he's clearly trying to convince himself in the moment just as much.

As Stegmutt reluctantly fights back against the Masked Mallard and the pilot, Dr. Fossil rushes to the next room where his relay antenna is completed and carefully slots the Stone Fragment of What Was into its place before powering up the machine. Once the antenna powers up and connects to a satellite network above, random people all over are hit by the effects and start devolving into prehistoric versions of themselves.

The kids have a good view of what's happening from the vantage point of their holding cell, and Honker starts talking to Fossil as he runs his equipment over concerns that dinosaurs and such wouldn't exactly fit in with the current era. The mad scientist laughs it off by claiming that the current era is about at an end anyway. Humans are already priming their planet for an extinction-level event as it is with their various environmental crimes as deforestation and greenhouse gasses; the meteor scheduled to pass by will finish the job once the hacked satellite network draws it in.

Honker's horrified at what he spells out is Dr. Fossil's attempt to artificially generate a mass extinction-level event that'll kill off anyone that doesn't get affected by the devolution ray. Someone else is also horrified, as it turns out the fight between the two older ducks and the stegosaurus got close enough that Stegmutt heard everything. Stegmutt calls his mentor out on using him for such a cruel and genocidal scheme, but Dr. Fossil insults him back by saying the young janitor was clearly too stupid to see it for himself and that he has no life for himself away from him. Fossil also claims that it's too late to stop him anyway.

Feeling hurt and betrayed, Stegmutt challenges that notion by stepping aside to let DW and LP tackle him and then turns to smash the controls of the kids' holding cell with his tail, freeing them. Honker has just enough time to rush to the controls of the relay antenna to have the satellite network repel the meteor it had just latched onto and then reverse the effects of the outgoing devolution rays. Dr. Fossil is taken down, and SHUSH is called in to clean up.

While Darkwing and SHUSH works to accommodate for Stegmutt's living conditions, as he's effectively homeless due to Dr. Klykos having provided his apartment space (which probably wouldn't be able to accommodate a stegosaurus man anyway), the agency's scientists determine that while those affected by the ray could be returned to normal, physical contact with any part of the Stone of What Was resulted in what was (for the foreseeable future, as they were still studying the artifact) an essentially permanent transformation.

Team Darkwing comfort Stegmutt, who's feeling lost and unsure of his future now. Uplifted by their assurance that they'll help him find a place for himself, Stegmutt decides he wants to use his new dinosaur form for the greater good and help those in need. By the end of this adventure, there's a new hero in St. Canard. Stegmutt gets his superhero origin story, and Dr. Fossil gets jailtime.

I started The Six Gun Tarot by RS Belcher last night, I’m five? chapters in, I have no idea what the fuck is going on, and it is the best fun I’ve ever had. There’s been a shootout. Someone got lost in the desert and magically found. The construction of Earth has been delayed due to a war in Heaven. The war in heaven is unrelated to the shootout. Anne Bonny was there briefly. Fantasy Western is the best book genre ever invented.

11. --in secrecy. (for Gabriele)

@cantuscorvi

Kiss meme 💋

There was a dark glance thrown at Cyrus’ back while they were exiting the car, moving to the entrance of the building for another meeting with the financial partners of their organization. His presence brought a strange atmosphere within the house, suffocating and sickening, pushing even Raum to change his attitude. With his uncle by his side, he was a different man. His teasing nature and his usual snarky comments had been muffled behind a veil of seriousness and acceptance that Gabriele couldn’t understand. Well, he was aware that Cyrus had power over this young man, but he had never thought that there could be such a strong and invisible hand wrapped around Raum’s throat, preventing him from protesting, or even talking. 

Gabriele sensed that this man would definitely be a problem. He had seen in the past that Friedrich was quite different as well whenever his brother was around, but the sensation was far more palpable when it came to Raum; and it bothered Gabriele. He didn’t know exactly why, but that silent castration was painful to see. He couldn’t say that he liked it when Raum was playing with his nerves, or pushing the limits, but the silent treatment was somehow very upsetting. Gabriele didn’t like to admit it, but he could almost say that he was missing the lively and overly exhausting boss he usually dealt with. 

“Apologies, sir, I have left a few documents in the car.” Gabriele suddenly realized as he reached for the handle of the door, while Cyrus turned around to give him that same and usual judgmental look. “I’ll be quick.” He promised while he threw one glance at Raum; not to invite him, but to make sure that he was alright. He had barely talked since this morning, and while he refused to even spare a look at his bodyguard, it was hard for Gabriele to tell if he was truly alright. He bowed and turned around, quickly making his way back to the vehicle, parked at the corner of the parking lot, hidden from the door.

A briefcase was missing with a few papers for the accountant, but despite Gabriele taking the blame for this memory lapse, he knew that Raum was the one who had forgotten it in the car. The bodyguard opened the passenger door, a sigh leaving his throat while he was about to bend over and retrieve the case, before he stopped his motions as he heard a sound behind his back. He quickly turned around, dark irises falling on the features of a certain blond boy. 

“Why are you not with your uncle?” Gabriele asked, before he eventually retrieved the missing documents. Raum pretended that he was only here to supervise his bodyguard’s actions, if he took too much time. He pinched his lips together and faced his boss once more. “That was reckless. We're perhaps a few meters away from the building, you were the one unsupervised and taking risks. I've never thought that you needed to monitor me either." He paused and cleared his throat, feeling slightly uncomfortable with all of this situation. "I know exactly who forgot this, but it’s not my place to put the blame on you when your uncle is looking.” He placed the briefcase back into Raum’s hands, giving a quick glance at the parking lot, over the shoulder of his employer; at least there was no one.

Raum was safe. 

“Or perhaps you came for something else?” Gabriele eventually asked, as he noticed that, despite receiving what he was looking for, Raum wasn’t moving from his spot or walking back to escort his uncle. For a moment, the bodyguard didn’t dare to move, but he saw, deep in Raum’s eyes, how much he despised this whole situation, how much he had so many things to say, but he kept himself muzzled. Gabriele sighed once more, gave another glance at the corner of the parking lot, before he crossed the distance between them. “Il mio cucciolo…”

As many promises and reassuring words died within his mouth, Gabriele decided to give Raum his only gift of comfort. With one last look seeking approval, he eventually kissed him, passion palpable through his intense breathing, even if he took things slowly, melting with the other one’s lips. Through this gesture, he hoped to give Raum enough strength, enough support to handle the rest of the day and prove to him that he was, and forever, his ally.

They parted after a few seconds, once again silenced in their emotions. It was time to go.
