Floyd, Kalim: The Way of Water
I was wondering how the artwork would frame the sitting boys, but I guess having Floyd floating there on his butt is fine fjeviwgxkwjwhfoen I don’t know what the alternative would be…
It's nice to learn more about the land boot camp the Octatrio went to; Floyd's vignettes indicate that merpeople need passports and that they went to a zoo as part of the program.
A Tale as Old as Time.
Tumblr media
Museums could be such snore fests sometimes. Sure, the place had an entire section dedicated to merpeople history, but it was nothing compared to what the Atlantica Memorial Museum boasted under the sea: the Mermaid Princess's silver comb, a replica of the Sea Witch's cauldron, bones of a sea dragon, a statue of the Sea King...
Here? All they had were some crummy paintings.
Floyd tilted his head back, taking in merman arriving in a dolphin-drawn chariot. He was an older man that sported bushy brows and a grand white beard that flowed in the water, his physique muscular and imposing. There was a regal presence about him, perhaps in how upright he stood, or in the glisten of the crown upon his head or the gauntlets cuffing his wrists. With his trident in hand, it was clear who he was.
The ruler of all the oceans. The waves obeyed his every whim, the sea and all its spoils bowing to his power. He, the Sea King.
Meh, what’s so great about him? So stiff and uptight. It’s be so much better workin’ for the Sea Witch.
Floyd's eyes flickered to the boy next to him, who seemed far more interested in the painting than he was. A steady grin crept onto his face, and he leaned in close.
Floyd pounced, hooking a long arm around Kalim's shoulder and yanking him over. The eel peered down at him, a single golden orb colliding with a pair of garnets. Leering, Floyd jerked his head at the depiction of the Sea King.
"Ne, ne, Otter-chan. What'cha think of this one?"
Any sane person might have been paralyzed with fear encountering Floyd in a dimly lit room, but not Kalim. No, Kalim was not sane at all.
The dorm leader greeted his peer with a smile so wide it could fill the horizon. "Floyd!! I'm so excited I get to see more of your history."
He blinked. "You actually like studying this kinda thing? Are you even any good at it?"
"Nope, not really!!" Kalim confessed (perhaps a little too easily). "I was looking at this painting and going, 'His beard's so impressive!' It reminds me of the one my dad has. I won't remember all the details later, but I'll always remember how cool the Sea King looks."
"It goes in one ear and out the other. Why bother then? Just dedicate your time and energy to stuff that actually interests ya."
"But it does interest me. It's fun learning about where your classmates come from! I heard humans and merpeople weren't always on good terms."
"Yeah. Back when the Sea King still ruled, there were tooons of rules forbidding merpeople from coming into contact with humans." Floyd held up a finger for each one he counted off. "No going to the surface world, no owning human stuff, no exploring shipwrecks... even no music at one point. You'd think Goldfishy wrote the lawbook."
Of course, even if those rules were in place, he would still totally disregard them. No one—not royalty, not his parents—could stop Floyd from venturing into the unknown.
"Whoa, the Sea King sounds like he was super strict and scary! I don't think I could live without music..." Kalim's face dropped. "He looks like such a nice person in the painting though."
Floyd rolled his eyes. "Cuz he lost his wife to a human ship. After that, he got all paranoid, thinking himans and merpeople are too different to coexist. He got especially protective over his daughters. The Sea King had seven of 'm and he breathed down all of their necks.”
"Ooooh!" Kalim didn't even bat an eye at the number (Floyd was sure it paled next to the number of siblings he had running around in his home.) "So the Sea King just wanted to protect his loved ones and make sure nothing sad like that ever happened again. He's a good guy after all!"
He now regarded Floyd with eager, sparkling eyes. "Wow, you know so much about this!! It's crazy thinking about how different things were in the past."
"Duh. It'd be boring if things stayed the same all the time." The eel smirked. He let go of Kalim and stepped back, giving a playful twirl, arms stretching out above him. "Ehehehe! Good thing the Mermaid Princess ended up opening doors for us to come onto land~"
Kalim beamed. "That's right!! She did! We wouldn’t be able to be friends without the Mermaid Princess’s help.”
The word gave Floyd pause, a rock tossed along his path as he brought his foot down upon it, snagging his step. Friend. He didn’t like spoken in that saccharine, trusting tone.
It was sticky and sweet, stuck in his teeth. Like cotton candy residue yet to be washed away by the waves, or sweat accumulated from summer heat. A gross feeling.
“You’re bein’ way too generous with your definitions again,” Floyd groaned, peeling away. “Cut it out, or I’ll get annoyed.”
Kalim (unwisely) laughed. Not at Floyd, but with him. “Oh, hey. When you think about it, we’re not really that different.”
“Mmm? What are you saying now, Otter-chan? Did all the sunbathing finally melt your brain?”
“In the Scalding Sands, waterways are really important. We use them for trade and travel. It’s the same for the Coral Sea. With all that water, it’s convenient for those sorts of things.” Kalim said matter-of-factly. “We’re using those same waterways now. We’re connected by water.”
“A good part of Twisted Wonderland is water,” Floyd pointed out. “You sayin’ everyone can be friends with everyone?”
Kalim nodded eagerly. “The Sea King was probably wrong. Humans and merpeople are actually very similar. I think the Mermaid Princess knew that too, and she wanted to help others recognize it.”
Floyd stared at Kalim, the moment long and hard. He wasn’t irritated anymore, only a little disappointed. Maybe mildly disgusted. “… Otter-chan, you’re so happy it hurts.”
“Thanks!”
“That wasn’t a compliment.” Floyd sighed. The energy and fight had been rapidly drained from in over the course of the short exchange, leaving him as wilted as a salted slug. “Aaaah, whatever. I’m tired of this already. I’m bailing.”
He turned on his heel and made for the exit and into the adjacent room. Already, Floyd could see a platinum frame of the Sorcerer of the Sand in the distance, bony fingers clasping a golden scarab.
“Wait up, I’m come with!” Kalim called after him. “I can teach you about my country’s history too!
That was how water was—always seeking to follow the flow. One body leading straight into another.
Floyd picked up his pace, arms pumping. (No running in the museum? Screw the rules.) Adrenaline deposited into his bloodstream, and he was hit with a rush.
Suddenly excited again, maybe a little interested in what a certain otter had to offer. A game, a chase, a thrill.
This is what he had come to the surface for.
Not rules or restrictions or a royal bossing him about. Not even friendship, as Kalim had suggested. Just fun, plain and simple.
It looked like he was going to get it.
Floyd grinned and shouted back, “Catch me if you can then!!”
And hurled right into the next room over.
Bless the Mermaid Princess.

❝ 𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐆𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝟎 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐍.. ❤ .ᐟ ❞ A winter day before the holidays with the twst men + staff - Ortho.
GENDER NEUTRAL READER
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The snow fell, a thick layer of white covering the ground, winter was here.
Sitting together by the fireplace, entangled between each other, underneath thick blankets. He wishes for nothing more but to make this moment last, breathing your scent, the specific scent of your favorite shampoo filling his senses.
He love's these moments under the comfort of your own home, together.. The way your eyes stare at him, filled with love and adoration, makes his heart flutter.
"I think the hot chocolates ready.. I'll go get it" mumbling out a response, he watches you leave. He already misses your warmth, despite it being a simple moment.
Watching your smile as you greet him softly, as you hand him his cup. Your voice is as lovely as the saints above.
Drinking your beverages together, conversing about other holiday plans, cuddling.
The matching cups were long forgotten by the sleeping couple, cuddling up to each other on the couch, silence filling the room.
LEONA KINGSCHOLAR, Malleus Draconia, Epel Felmier, RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS, Vil Schoenheit, Divus Crewel,
He loved seeing you smile as you threw another snowball at him, laughing along with you as he threw another snowball at your direction, purposely missing. He loved to hear your little giggle as the snowball hit him.
Your prideful smile when you win your little snowball fight, he cant help but bathe in your happiness. He hopes you can continue smiling this brightly everyday... with him..
Hugging you from behind, watching your face go from shock too happy as you face him.. "I love you" he murmured to himself, as the sound of your laughter filled his ears. He doesn't know if you heard him, but knowing you return the feeling is enough for him.. Cheekily pecking you in the lips, and watching your reactions change once more.
CATER DIAMOND, Jack Howl, Neige Le Blanche, ROOK HUNT, Jade Leech, Dire Crowley
The two of you were building snowmen, playfully fighting about who would finish first. Joking around with each other as you roll out the snow.
He watches you struggle to move the larger snowball onto the snowman's base, letting out a sigh he helps you. Grinning as you complain about the sudden takeover, you looked so adorable, puffed cheeks and pouting.
Watching you rush in the house after you finish with your snowman, most likely grabbing things to decorate the snowman with.
At the very end of the day, the couple looked out the window drinking tea together, looking at the two snowman, standing close to one another, wearing the same scarf. "I won.. you know what that means" you raise a brow at his words, "You owe me a kiss!"
ACE TRAPPOLA, Floyd Leech, Ruggie Bucchi, LILIA VANROUGE, Kalim Al-Asim, VIL SCHOENHEIT, Sam
The two of you picked out the cookie cutters together, baking and putting together the ingredients. Playfully arguing about which flavor is better, what types of sprinkles to use.
He couldn't help but look at your form, trying ever so carefully to decorate each cookie with diligence and love. The smell of baked goods and cinnamon filling the room.
He takes his time placing each carefully decorated cooking on the display, ready to eat. Just the two of you together.
Settling down on the table, the two of you argued once more about who would eat the first cookie, he can't help but chuckle when you stuff your face full with the treats.. "You're adorable.. you know that?"
TREY CLOVER, Jamil Viper, Azul Ashengrotto, SEBEK ZIGVOLT, Che'nya, Ashton Vargas,
Staying up late together, just talking and indulging yourself, the cold from the outside world having no affect in-between the two of you.
Buried under the sheets, hugging and cuddling. The warmth shared equally amongst you both. Tired yet so energetic, the two of he can't get enough of you.
He'll patiently wait till your asleep to fall asleep himself, seeing your sleeping form, eyes shut yet at ease in his presence, gives him a feeling of euphoric bliss.
"Y/n..! Y/n..?!" he calls out your name softly, only to find you asleep in his arms, he let's out a deep sigh and then a smile forms on his face. "Good night love" he says as he himself slowly closes his eyes, wrapping his arms around you a bit more.

SSR Azul Ashengrotto Tsumsitter Personal Story: Part 2
"A Moment with Azultsum II"
(Part 1) Part 2 (Part 3)
Tumblr media
[Mostro Lounge]
Azul: You wish to see the Tsum as the Lounge's owner? What do you think you're saying, Jade?
Floyd: An owner takeover bid. Basically, you're being let go, Azul.
Azul: Don't be ridiculous. There's no way I would let that happen.
Jade: You may say that, but in the business world, the only thing that matters is results…
Jade: Are you saying that you would be able to generate even more profit than the Tsum has in this short period of time?
Azul: Of course. Besides, I cannot allow such a pushy and classless method to continue.
Floyd: Huuuh? You sure you can call someone else pushy and classless?
Jade: If anything, I do believe that is entirely your brand, wouldn't you say?
Azul: I don't understand how you could possibly think that thing could resemble me…
[Azultsum presses a menu against another student]
[Azultsum continues pressing more menus]
Floyd: Seeeee? The way it just keeps on pressuring them with that shady grin,
Floyd: It's just like you usually are.
Azul: I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jade: Returning to the point at hand, I see no issue with the method it uses.
Jade: The most important aspect to keep in mind is that the Tsum has garnered more sales than Azul.
Jade: As someone who has the Mostro Lounge's best interests at heart…
Jade: I have no choice but to propose a refresh by transferring the ownership to new hands.
Azul: You say you have the Mostro Lounge's best interests at heart? Of course you would lie so brazenly about that.
Azul: You've just found something to tease me about and are simply thoroughly enjoying yourselves.
Azul: You brushed it off as "only" a suggestion earlier, but essentially you two seem to be asking me to leave.
Azul: I emphatically refuse. I have no intention of going along with your tasteless games.
Jade: We aren't playing any sort of game. We simply made this suggestion after serious consideration.
Azul: Oh, is that so… I see.
Azul: Well, if you are going to insist that much, then allow me to show you why I am the more suitable owner.
Azul: I challenge you, Tsum. We shall compete for ownership of the Mostro Lounge!
[Azultsum gives serious look]
Floyd: Oooh, looks like the Tsum's raring to go. So, how're you gonna do this?
Azul: We'll split the Lounge into two, and I shall be the owner of one half.
Azul: The Tsum will take ownership of the other half, and we will see who makes more sales.
Azul: The winner is the undisputed superior owner and will take over Mostro Lounge from there on out.
Azul: Well, I'll be the one to win, of course.
Jade: So you plan on settling things once and for all with a head-to-head battle, I see. What an interesting concept you've concocted.
Azul: Jade, Floyd, you can join the Tsum's side. I have no need for your assistance.
Jade: Oh, are you sure? Do you truly think you will be able to garner more sales than the Tsum without our help?
Floyd: If you reeeeally beg for it, I'll help you~ C'mon, c'mon, y'don't wanna grovel for me even a little bit?
Azul: Don't make me repeat myself. Even if I were to keep you by my side, you would only get in my way.
Jade: So untrusting of your employees, what a horrid manager… Ah, my mistake, former manager…
Floyd: Guess that kind and charming Tsum really is more suited to be the owner of the Mostro Lounge, huh.
Azul: Yes, yes, alright. Then please, go ahead and play manservants to that Tsum.
Jade: Now then, we shall call the side where the Tsum is the owner the "Mostro Lounge First Branch."
Jade: And the side where Azul is the owner can be the "Mostro Lounge Second Branch."
Azul: Wait a moment! Why am I the second branch?
Floyd: 'Cause me n' Jade're over here, and it's just you over there.
Floyd: If you think about what's closer to the original Lounge structure, that's totally this side.
Azul: … Well, whatever. Everything will be made clear soon enough.
Azul: I shall show you that no one other than me is capable of being the owner of the Mostro Lounge.
[Azultsum jumps for joy]
Floyd: Looks like the Tsum's all excited too.
Azul: I hold no grudges against the Tsum, but I shall have no mercy. Allow me to show you all the proper way to run a Lounge like this.

Imagine the main cast asking how they end up with boyfriends but only to be shocked on what they just learn...
Ruggie: Wait a minute? You just knew like few days?!
Ariel: Eric is dreamy.
Cinderella: I wouldn't forget my first dance wit him.
Aurora: He's the first man I ever met.
Snow White: His singing makes my happiness go up.
Floyd: What is those princes got it easy than any one of us?
Idia: Basically typical princes they are thinking they are perfect.
Trey: True, not even us can get a lady like how what happened in the ghost marriage.
Vil: To be fair, that lady is rude to all of us.
Tiana: Well it did took awhile to warm up to Naveen.
Belle: Same goes to my beast despite holding me in the castle.
Leona: Okay even I find this shocking. I get most of you are princesses yet there's no way they would only allow to be dating that you only met. Even my brother has to win his love to my sister in law.
Anna: They are lucky they didn't meet someone heinous like my first love who tries to takeover the kingdom and try to kill my sister.
Most of them freak out on what they just learn.
It's pretty much that scene in the second wreck it ralph movie where the princess list off all these things and Vanellope goes "Are you guys ok? Should I call the police?"
The princes are going to get jumped the moment they step into NRC.

We are all just wasting time
You know, I'm giving upon listening to politics and believing anything that I hear. It's all the same and we all talk about it, and talk about it , and talk about it but nothing ever gets done. The politicians got us all convinced our votes matter, so we trust them and we think strongly that changes will be made because we say so, but they don't care, we don't matter. We work for them, they don't work for us. Then the next generation takes over. Nothing gets better, only worse. And those of us in my generation will all be dead already because we saw it happening 30 years ago and we all talked about it and talked about it, and talked about it, and talked about it, but the politicians had us all thinking our votes still mattered so we strongly fought and voted but it only got worse, never better.
And the older generation all died off and a new generation came out. (Funny, as i write this I'm listening to a Pink Floyd song and the words I heard were "sometimes it feels to me that I'm just being used." Classic, and perfect timing.) And at the time people saw things were not going right and they talked about it, and they talked about it, and talked about it, but then the politicians actually worked for us. Or at least it seemed that way. What We The People of the United States of America are seeing is a communist takeover of the best kind. We can't even fight it anymore. Our kids have been indoctrinated for years and each new generation is more liberal than the previous one.
This all started after, or before, world War 2 and it just keep getting stronger every year. All of our politicians know all about it. Any arrests these days are of mostly the good guys and never the bad guys, who literally get away with murder, and we the people don't ever seem to do anything about it at all. Every generation is the same. We start out more liberal and then as we grow up we start paying attention. But by then it's too late. Then we sit and wonder why isn't anyone doing anything about this especially after all these years. Then we die off and it just continues. It's evil. A communist takeover for sure, and yes, the end of the world as we know it.
Not to mention, the Democrats are much more obvious and blatant, although the Republicans pretend they are against it but get the same paycheck. At lease back in my day they pretended a lot more and a lot better. Not these Democrats. They come right out and tell you they want immigrants to flood the country, all on the backs of the citizen. And as it gets closer to an election they boldly lie and accuse the other party (see Biden's State of the Union Address) or just drop the subject in the media (no more talk about the lgbt agenda and indoctrinating our kids since before the last election, but I guarantee its still going on) and all we do is talk about it, then we talk more about it, then we talk about it., etc, etc, etc...
Then the older generation dies off, the new generation comes in and the cycle continues.
Our only hope, and our best hope at all times, is that Jesus is coming.
Jesus IS our Best hope.
Jesus IS our ONLY hope.
Come Lord Jesus!
Amen!

A perfect succinct summation of current university expectations of minorities in America:
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
And the hard fragility of high entitlement.
The way this plays out often goes via proxy, however. Many students become represented against their will by activists with a particular ideological mindset. And often, they're "allies" demonstrating their virtuous bona fides, not members of those groups.
Note that the request that set off this shit-show was from "a non-black" student.
This (white) commentator rattles off some bogus pseudoscience to insist he "should have" complied; the same author has also decided that "divorce isn't fair" because her ex-husband isn't poor, so that tells you the mentality.
"I really wish his parents would give me that money"
As a timely reminder, Mike Nayna is releasing his Grievance Studies Affair documentary, "The Reformers," on his Substack over the next couple of weeks. Part 1 (free) and Part 2 (subscribers only) are already up, and Part 3 is coming next week.
Just today he's also released an accompaniment called, oddly enough, "The Reformers: An Accompaniment." This is essentially a re-cut of his previous three-part Evergreen State College documentary into a single film. I believe it's free to view.
Part of the way through the film, a former president of the college - who is black, by the way - is receiving an award and a building being named after him. During his speech, some entitled student barges up, takes the microphone and starts ranting like a nutcase.
Nobody does anything. Nobody cuts the mic. Nobody tells her to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up because everything is not about her and her tantrums all the time. When she's done, the former president tries to address some of the points, and she and her pals start talking and chanting over the top, rambling about their "oppression."
Keep in mind, this is a liberal arts college in one of the most blue states in the entire US. These are extremely privileged people acting out a perverted, ideological Live Action Roleplay. They have few, if any, real issues; they're out there fighting postmodern dragons. At the time, this was shocking, and the language and mental processes were bizarre and alien. But nowadays, that language and mindset are everywhere.
The film proceeds along to the notorious takeover and hostage situation where students invade and lockdown the admin building, and the then-president tells everyone to go along with it. The students even yell at him over the placement of his hands, and laugh at him about bathroom breaks for the hostages. Nobody pushes back on this. The president even tells security to stand down.
To this day, nobody can tell you coherently what any of this complete meltdown was actually all about, and to my knowledge, little if any disciplinary action was taken against the perpetrators. If there's one person you'll see time and again through the footage, it's a guy called Jamil Bee. He was essentially the ringleader of the whole thing, but he was never expelled, he was never disciplined, and he was held up as a hero and invited to talks and lectures, Kendi-style.
So what he and his activist friends learned is that they could do whatever they wanted. He's even quoted as saying:
"Nothing is the limit to reparations." "There is no limit that can be set over us in being able to squash oppressive behavior."
The definitions of which he and similar activist types get to decide themselves: "you don't get to decide what's racism - only we do." This type of narcissistic authoritarianism has been celebrated and rewarded, rather than ridiculed and mocked as it should be, or held to the fires of the institutions policies and rules on appropriate conduct. They just let him slide.
And part of that was, as you mentioned, bigotry of low expectations. Nobody will tell these students "no." But also the fear of being called a mean name by intellectual infants: "racist," "white supremacist," "transphobic" or something similar. These words are only useful because they're not a pervasive problem any more; they're aberrational. Calling someone "racist" during Jim Crow wouldn't solicit any meaningful moral panic or defensiveness. But now the accused let them get away with this because it's easier than having to defend themselves from some baseless pro forma accusation of bigotry.
And that screws everything up for the majority of students who aren't mentally ill sociopaths.
This is something that plays out again and again and again. Colleges submit to the emotional outbursts and tantrums of students instead of doing the right thing and putting them in a time-out until they can come back and apologize - Yale and Stanford have had this sort of thing play out again and again.
What's not spoken about is that behind the scenes, it's often college administrators themselves - and particularly the apparatchiks in the DIE bureaucracies - facilitating this, teaching students this "harm" and "unsafe" and "danger" and "words are violence" mentality in the first place.

Sebek, Trey: Sugar Sweet and Bitter Step
Finally 👀 Sebek interacting with the dude that reminds him of his father… This is the juicy content I’ve been waiting for 😌 (It fucking slapped btw, did NOT disappoint 🦷 ✨ I especially loved when Sebek was describing the new candies he has tried and he describes pop rocks as candies that fucking attack you asduqbdoas) ASHDBAIDAIDqwehqbyoe8y IT WAS REALLY CUTE WHEN MALLEUS, LILIA, CATER, AND VIL'S VAS WISHED SEBEK-KUN HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN THE TWST YEAR III ANNI LIVESTREAM...
A Boy in Bloom, and his Flowering Future.
Tumblr media
“What do you do on your days off?”
"Hmph, I'm glad you asked, human!" Sebek's laughter was smug and resounding. "I spend days off training!"
"You... train to relax? That sounds like an oxymoron."
The birthday boy scoffed. "As a knight and an attendant, there is no such thing as 'relaxing'! I must remain vigilant so as to best protect and serve the young master!!"
"I get that, but... your muscles would be sore after working out so much, right? You'd need to take some time off to recover, otherwise you'd be pushing your body to the brink and risk injuring yourself," Trey calmly pointed out. "I used to train back when I played soccer. Had to cut that short when I worked myself too hard, so I wouldn't want that to happen to you."
A sound like rumbling thunder collected in Sebek's throat. "O-Of course I know something as basic as that! I know to take breaks!! Don't belittle me, human!!
"When I say 'training', I don't mean it purely in a physical capacity! If I am not able to train my body, then I train my mind! As Lilia-sama says, tactical might has changed the course in many critical battles in the history of--"
"Oooh, I get it. You mean general self-improvement." His interviewer snapped his fingers as the clues all neatly fit together in his head. "So you like to read? What sorts of things do you usually go for?"
"A variety. I frequent the Mystery Shop to browse their selection, but Diasomnia and the school archives also contain a number of older volumes.
"Lilia-sama has advised that I expand my worldview, so I have taken it upon myself to read literature from many genres and eras. 'Even picture books have merit, Sebek! You should open your heart to them!' ... so he said."
"No kidding." Trey raised his brows. It certainly sounds like something Lilia would say... though I'm not sure how serious he was about it. "Hey, I've read some books to my little brother and sister before, so I could recommend a few to you."
"Picture books from the Queendom of Roses... I've yet to read those. I dislike having to make requests of others, but... on Lilia-sama's orders, I have no other option. You will provide a list of acceptable readings to me the day after today, understood?!"
"Sure, leave it to me." Trey offered a patient smile. "I gotta say though, I didn't think you'd be concerned about being so worldly. You seem a little too set in your own ways."
Ace and Deuce described him as hard-headed. Even Riddle said Sebek has a hard time handling horses in Equestrian Club because of his attitude.
Sebek looked as though he'd be struck in the heart. He recoiled, his face crumpling with upset.
"Hnngh!! I-I've heard as much from Lilia-sama that this would be a detriment if I am to serve the young master, who will no doubt face many diplomatic issues with other countries. That is why I'm making efforts to expand my horizons by diversifying my reading materials and experiencing new things."
"Such as...?"
"I have read in some texts that a good way to learn about other cultures is to consume their cuisine. I have taken to snacking on baked goods and sweets from different regions of Twisted Wonderland to this end. Cookies, muffins, and candies that the Mystery Shop stocks.
"There are lollipops in various shapes, candy so sour it makes your mouth bleed and colors it bright blue, and little granular candies that assault the taste buds with explosions when they hit your tongue...! Hard candies flavored with apples from different farms in Harveston, chewy taffies made with salt from the Coral Sea, gummy bugs from the Afterglow Savanna that gets stuck between my teeth, candied flowers from the Queendom of Roses..."
"Has the snacking helped you learn anything new about those places or the people that live there?" Trey asked, cocking his head.
Sebek paused to think. Moments later, he, with his full chest, proudly replied, "An Octavinelle student was monopolizing all the peppermint sticks in the shop, so I saw it fit to liberate them from his grasp!!"
"... In other words, you picked a fight with him." Trey sighed. "It’s… a start. A small one, but still a start if it gets you to interact with those outside of Diasomnia. You'll just have to keep working on that—baby steps now so you can be where you want to be in the future, yeah?"
"Indeed...!!" Sebek slammed the end of his broom into the ground, the motion hard and resolute. "If I wish to stand by Malleus-sama's side, I must do all that I can to be worthy of him. To go wherever the young master is... that is my greatest dream!!"
He grinned with his teeth, displaying prominent canines. poking out from between two rows of pearly whites. It was a smile as radiant as the sun.
"Oh, that reminds me." Trey indicated his own mouth. "I hope you're remembering to properly floss and to brush your teeth well after eating all those candies. It's important to take care of your dental hygiene, especially after eating sugary snacks."
"Grrgh...!! Where do you get off on, giving me orders!?"
"I wouldn't call them orders. They were just suggestions--though I think your teeth would be happier if you followed them," Trey joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Sebek's expression creased all the same.
"That you would see fit to suggest anything of the sort to me is offensive!!" the birthday boy grumbled. "My father makes similar remarks, no matter how often I remind him that I am a grown man!"
"Ahahah... I'm sure that's just his way of showing you that he cares. It's hard for any parent to watch their kid grow up. To them, that kid will always be their baby.
"Hmph! R-Ridiculous," Sebek declared. He haughtily turned away, his cheeks tinged pink. There was hesitation, and then an uncharacteristically quiet voice that slipped out. "You... really are like him in every conceivable way. I cannot fathom humans like you sort."
"Exactly why you're trying so hard now." Trey nodded to the sky above. It was a cornflower blue morning with a healthy sprinkling of clouds. "You've been training hard, so let's see you in action."
"D-Do not presume to understand my skill! I'll show you just how powerful I am!! Faster than light, stronger than lightning... I AM HE WHO HAS SWORN TO PROTECT THE YOUNG MASTER!!"
The vow was made, his ambitions announced.
In response to his decree, the broom fizzled to life. It lifted off the ground in a single strong stroke, Sebek easily swinging on. His robes fanned out behind him, fabric flapping loudly in an errant spring breeze.
Magic crackled in the air around them, hot as sparks, bright as stars. His spells matched his energy: loud and proud.
His grip on the handle was as steady as his resolve.
His fierce gaze, focused on the future.
